It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Self-titled song "Kiltro" out now.
New single "Kiltro" - available for pre-saving!
Much awaited official recording of a fan favorite.
Oppressed minds concentrate,
Trying to see through the hate,
At all fronts we stand still,
We’re taught that words cannot kill.
They stab our back and strike our face,
But the bruises left had no physical trace.
Feelings forced down deep within,
This time we might just give in-
my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!
as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

Road stained green,
Wind carries rain’s eager drops,
Illuminated by a passing car’s main beam.
Road stained amber,
Rain hits my locks yet I hide under bus stops,
My heart grows ever damper
Road stained red,
Ceaseless rain hitting all with its cold drops,
I ask myself again, “Why did I get out of bed?”
Hojas caídas,
Bailan con luna mía,
Con ritmo nuevo
Pourquoi?
L’univers continue a tourner, avec le vide intemporel que l’entoure depuis le début de temps. Le vide le chasse depuis toujours, et le vide le chassera jusqu’a la fin du temps, sans cesse, sans doute, sans douleur et bonheur, sans succès mais aussi sans échec.
Pourquoi univers? Pourquoi continue de lutter contre et courir de le vide inescapable et impregnable? Où est votre raison? Où est votre réalité? Pourquoi vous-allez de l’avant sans regarder en arrière? De quoi fontaine de la Jeunesse, de quoi source d’espoir, de quoi pont de paix venez-vous?
Dites-moi, non. Dites-Nous où est votre destination? Dites-Nous pourquoi vous courez du vide? Dites-moi si c’est possible de comprendre votre mission impossible, si c’est possible de vous aider dans votre quête?
Dites-moi, univers d’espoir inébranlable, pourquoi je peux jamais trouver vos réponses?
Je vous demande, si vous avez le choix entre égoïsme et préservation de la race humaine, pourquoi avez vous choisi l’option incorrecte chaque fois?
S’il-vous-plaît

Stage 3: using your native language's idioms in English because they fuck actually

If Timothy Stoker were there to witness jmart, you better believe this man is Number One Hater of it (jokingly, of course). My man is borderline homophobic the way he is constantly tearing them to shreds. Idiot man and his idiot boyfriend. He's the best man at their wedding.
Yo adivino el parpadeo de las luces que a lo lejos.
Van marcando mi retorno
I implore the great old oak, she who holds knowledge; she who holds power.
I implore the great old oak, forgive me; forgive us.
I implore the graceful cherry blossom tree, he who vigils life as death; he who makes the violence art.
I implore the graceful cherry blossom, stay with me; do not fleet from us as life does
I implore the soon barren earth, hold my hand; guide us to our fate
I implore the soon barren earth, she who mothers; she who guides
I implore the blinding sun and silent moon, they who shine; they who lead time
I implore the blinding sun and silent moon, do not stop the chime; judge us all for our greatest crime.
I implore she who holds power, he who makes art, she who mothers, they who shine.
Please forgive and be confined.
Please guide and flow time.

Chaque nuit a un jour
Chaque ombre a une lumière
Le monde opposé
The bird cries,
it sails through the skies as its flock demands,
and skims the seas bustling with life,
The bird flies,
it whisks past windows as whimsy commands,
and holds the suns hands,
when she reaches high up above all lands,
The bird stands,
it will lay with its feather,
when it finds the promised land it will rest forever,
The bird lands,
It understands,
It lays down in man-made sand,
The bird cries.
‘Enduring fire burns, everlasting frost melting, the sand and earth weep’
‘Enduring fire burns, everlasting frost melting, the sand and earth weep’
“A la vuelta de la esquina, la luna celestial de cada día”
“Il pleuvait, mais c’était tellement beau”

Song is the drunk by Kiltro
Raven, my Argonian totally not named after me, has to talk to Rogneir reguarding affairs in Riften, Rogneir is a drunken skooma addicted khajiit, who due to being a khajiit, faces a LOT more discrimination than the average thief, he’s not part of the thieves guild, but the fact he’s a cat alone gets him kicked out of bars, inns, and shops.
I just wanted my first animated music video to be an interaction between these two, the song is, from my perspective, about a drunk homeless guy ranting about how despite living in the streets, he’s happier and better than the average homeless man, and I thought that works perfectly for Rogneir ^^!!!
Oh, god. I understand now. This look Aziraphale has right after Crowley kissed him. I didn't understand why he'd look disgusted when we as the audience know that their feelings are mutual, and as Neil hinted, they both wanted to confess in this episode, but the Metatron changed that. "Do it again."
