writing and music and furries oh my

***

Two days left of my holiday and I've gone fully feral, just eating pizza and writing porn/fic in my underpants. 

Anyway. 

Is anyone bored enough to SPAG check any of these for me?
1. 2,4k Lost Boys, Michael/Sam, sequel to this
2. 1k MCR, Gerard/Frank, pure porn, very E rated
3. 3.6k The Witcher, Geralt/Jaskier, mostly fluffy feels

I've also been working on the SKZ BDMS!AU but that's currently for the co-author [personal profile] dreamersdare's eyes only, soz.

Here's another thing that is making me froth at the mouth:




Let us not even talk about the unveil tracks. For mental health reasons.

Anyway, TXT's latest album is also getting some repeat listens from me. I am, particularly in love with

Yeonjun's solo which is extremely catch. Also I spent most of the video trying to figure where in the UK it was filmed. I default to London but am not actually sure here. 


The absolute surprise favourite of the album, for me, however, was Taehyun's Bird of Night that had my bottom lip wobbling. The lyrics.



Special mention to the absolutely stunning cinematography in Beomguy's solo though. The song, whilst pretty, didn't really hit with me, but the visuals inside the hot air balloon are amazing:

And in other type of music related news:


Ahhhhhhhhh! In UK cinemas from 26th of Sep. Like I have seen it on Disney already but I will still fucking go see it on the big screen.

And finally, because I discovered this accidentally via the YT comments on the above trailer



I am not like, a furry on the main, but let me tell you, the first movie made me ship this like the cross-Atlantic trade route. The fic from the first movie was, ahem, good. Well. Some of it. Probably not enough of it tbh, but still. And now there's this.
