To Be Honest, I Am Also Curious About My Last Fic Lines. My Recent Fics Are Probably All Pulp.

To be honest, I am also curious about my last fic lines. My recent fics are probably all Pulp.

1. Sia released Anna’s nose and mouth, and Anna took a few shaky breaths while Sia whispered “you’re okay” over and over again until Anna’s body finally understood. (The center of Anna's Universe, Pulp Musicals) (yeah, this one had kind of a dramatic ending)

2. "You will be," Sia promised. (Just like Home, Pulp Musicals) (I do like this one)

3. Margaret smiled. (How can I search when I don't know what's missing?, Pulp Musicals) (I also like this one)

4. "...I'm the one who is lucky to have you." (The Tale of Travellia, Pulp Musicals)

5. Charles wonders if the sweetness of the rum would mask the ashy taste of the gunpowder. It doesn't. (Meant to be mine, Pulp Musicals) (hehe, ominous.)

6. "To your success!" the spider called out after her as she opened the next door, ready to continue the fight with her new magical armor and keepsake. (I can always make perfectly good silk. I can't always see you, Hatchetfield series /Hades game)

7. "Gott sei dank." (Also, wann hast du es gewusst?, Hatchetfield series) (Does this count as 2 fics? 7 and 8 are the same; just translated. I actually really struggled to find a better translation that made a distinction between thank God vs thank goodness, but then gave up)

8. "Thank goodness." (So, when did you first know?, Hatchetfield series)

9. Rose raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a knowing smirk. (The AU where Morgan winks at Benjamin, Pulp Musicals)

10. She hardly even looked at her phone the rest of the bus trip. She was too busy studying the curvature of every curl and memorizing the constellation of her freckles. (How Alice fell for Deb, Hatchetfield series)

Interesting. Had some Hatchetfield in there too. Not sure if there's really too much of a discernable pattern though. Half of them are dialogue. A lot of them are about people in love, but some are about frienship, enemies, or just self discovery.

Writing Game: Last Lines

Thank you @marypsue for tagging me! Sorry I am so late in getting to it! Here are the last lines from the last ten fics I posted!

"Deal." (Oh Captain, Let's Make a Deal, Pulp Musicals)

During the nightmare to come, Morgan sometimes wishes he could live in that memory forever. (Take Your Post With Pride, Pulp Musicals)

She can't wait to see what they will reveal to her next. (A Melody That Lingers, Pulp Musicals)

She is going to need all the help she can get if she wants to find her again. (Nobody Should Ever Lose Their Place In the World, Pulp Musicals)

So this reprieve, however brief, is worth it. Right? (Let Go of Your Demons and Your Fears, Pulp Musicals)

Maybe it isn't a bad thing. (The Changes Within Me, Hatchetfield)

It’s why Morgan is his boatswain, after all. (Who Are These Four?, Pulp Musicals)

Ah. Right. (What Do You Say?, Hatchetfield)

Nova is going to be insufferable about this. (we have loved the stars too fondly, Pulp Musicals)

And, God help him, Benjamin does. (Benjamin and the Paper, Pulp Musicals)

I love single dramatic words and semi-cliffhangers apparently! This was really fun to gather together! No pressure tags for @little-engineer-who-cant @snarky-wallflower @sparrowfox-writes @eggingtontoast @faery-people-of-the-future-day @paranormaltheatrekid and anyone else who is interested in giving it a try!

The Fairy Queen of Sweet Dreams plus a Crumb doodle! Cinderellas Castle was more magical than I'd ever imagined and I kind of don't know what to do about it, so I just spent today frantically drawing. I've never really shared my art online before so this shows how strong this show's grip on me is

The Royal Portrait.

I’ve been seeing a lot of comic dubs lately and wanted to give one a try with one that’s been on my brain! Original comic done by @itsdefinitely, I own none of the art

The only characters that sing (and in a way, twist) the Great Astronomical Discoveries motif during TGMH apart from the Stratfords are Benjamin and John. And let me tell you, I love what they do with it.

Benjamin's take comes first, during Benjamin's Appartment/The Radiance. After days of listening to the Stratfords talk about their hoax, of seeing how they meticulously crafted their stories and the world clamor them, Benjamin has finally given up and is ready to betray the Stratfords. So, he invites Margaret to his appartment to reveal their hoax. Benjamin uses the same language he's learned from the Stratfords, and so, the great astronomical discoveries motif starts playing.

For the first time in the album, it's not a victorious melody: it doesn't sound grandious anymore, it doesn't have any build up, it's just Benjamin and a piano. Curt Mega's performance is really sober, as he's trying to cover up his own emotions. He only fails to do so in "to advance their own career", where he bitterly laughs, losing the beat for a second. Although a bass and another string section join for the climax they quickly go away, as Margaret also joins the sad melody. Even if Great Astronomical Discoveries brought the Stratfords fame and renown, it has also deceived and hurt many. It is satisfying to hear two of its victims sing it then.

That's also why, in John's Choice, it's Herschel's time to speak, we are expecting something similar to happen. The music stops, all the characters await, and Herschel starts to talk... And the melody is More Than This. It's subtle, and one may not notice it on their first listening or if they're not that familiar with the soundtrack. But then there's a crescendo, and John starts singing Great Astronomical Discoveries.

The passion, the energy, the love that comes from John's voice (in another amazing performance by Curt) blows away both the audience and the characters that were there. He has the same accompaniment as Rose and Samuel did, but there's a key difference: there's no harmonies. And it doesn't matter, because really, what a chilling performance. There's also something very poetic about John taking the Stratford's position and being in control of his story after all the hoax.

TL;DR I love the Great Astronomical Discoveries and everything Matt does with it in part 3 of TGMH. Curt totally kills it every time he sings it in any way <3
