This is just a notification that I am unable to get on Tumblr as much as I used to and I feel like I might miss stuff my friends are sharing/posting so if there is something you post or reblog that you think I will like feel free to tag me so I see it! ^^
RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!
Whew, that's difficult 😅 But I did find a few things.

You have a single cassette tape, it will only hold eight songs and play them in the exact order in which they're added to the tape. If you made such a mix tape for your original character, which songs would you choose and in what order? Feel free to explain why you chose the songs and order that you did or just let the music speak for itself.
So here is what I got for Annelise :D :
~~~
I Didn’t Ask For This ~ Beth Crowley
I view this as Annelise’s Commorragh song where she goes off the deep end for a little bit.
I'm sinking down
If you only knew how hard it is
For me to climb out
I'm kicking and screaming
But no one can hear me
So what happens now?
The shadows are creeping in
I didn't ask for
I didn't ask for this

Once I was Loved ~ The Slipper and the Rose Soundtrack
A song about how she remembers her life before being taken away on the Black Ship, but doesn’t let herself fall into despair.
Gone is that love
My fanciful dove
Has tears in her eyes
She no longer flies
And yet, my heart will not despair
~
A Long, Long Time Ago ~ Pan’s Labyrinth Soundtrack
The sad, haunting melody with the gentle humming makes me think of how Annelise has to constantly fight against the darkness that surrounds her, as a psyker and as a kind-hearted person in the WH40k universe.
~
Hopeful ~ OlexandrMusic
An instrumental tune that I feel just capture’s her essence.
~
Mirrorball ~ Taylor Swift
This song makes me think of how she tries to keep everyone’s spirits up. Also captures how she feels being suddenly put in the spotlight as a Rogue Trader.
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still tryin' everything to keep you looking at me
~
Head Above Water ~ Avril Lavigne
A song that represents her struggles and her devotion to the God-Emperor.
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
~
Angel Mine ~ Cowboy Junkies
A Post-Commorragh song (from Heinrix's perspective because he is closest to her) for when she is trying to heal from all her life’s trauma that floods to the surface after years of keeping it hidden under toxic positivity.
He searched for those wings that he knew that this angel
Should have at her back
And although he can't find them, he really don't mind
'Cause he knows they'll grow back
And he reached for that halo that he knows that she had
When she first caught his eye
Although his hand came back empty he's really not worried
'Cause he knows it still shines
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
But I'll never betray your trust
Angel mine
~
Always Look On the Bright Side of Life ~ Monty Python
Okay, this one is a bit of a joke but it would totally fit if Rogue Trader was a musical comedy. Annelise would follow Heinrix around singing this song for sure.
But Brian Heinrix, you know what they say?
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life!
Heinrix: By the God Emperor, Annelise, stop. And I thought I was the master of torture.
I don't have a ton of stuff to share since I have mostly been trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing with my art "style" lol, but here is an Annelise and Heinrix sketch-thing. XP
you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
Its important too to understand that there is a difference between "i know its not my best but it is what it is" and "maybe if i acknowledge my flaws i will be forgiven for them" and its your job as your own biggest fan/advocate/educator to figure out which one is driving you in the moment and whether or not its hurting you
I wish you all love, light, hope and comfort for holidays, and every day after them.
Words cannot express how much everyone here means to me. You are all so far away, but just know that I'm placing each one of you on my tree and watching you sparkle like fairy lights 🎄
I am sending each and every one of you the warmest hug and a kiss under the mistletoe. 💜
