drew us listening to will wood. goodnight

OH MY GODS IT'S ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT!

And I've even got my shell! And oh goodness we are such blobs somehow.

Thank you so much, Cousin! And goodnight!

[c1cloudwhisperer]

:D i try to draw us silly most of the time cuz if i i switch to ny regular artstyle i’m gonna have to start thinking about what your face would look like and i don’t want to get it wrong somehow.

[mongfind-minecraft]

I will find something for you for my face if you like but remind me your-tomorrow, Cousin, weren't you going to sleep?

[mongfind-minecraft]

sooooo what music/artists do you listen to? any song recs?

Oooh okay so - preemptive apology if this is incoherent -

I tend to listen to, not exclusively but a lot of fansongs for things, when we're doing car music or whatnot? Fandoms and associated fansong sets/artists include Magnus Archives, of course - there's a Music of the Fears Playlist on YouTube I like, as well as various random single things. Minecraft YouTube on both the Hermitcraft/Life Series end and the Dream SMP end - my favorite artists of those are probably Gideon for Hermits and Derivakat for DSMP - Derivakat also does other things and pretty much all of her stuff is excellent.

For non-fan-songs... I can give individual song recommendations that come to mind? Oh! And I like Lydia The Bard, who is on YouTube and also other places, she does fansongs sometimes, mostly Disney villain songs I think, but also original stuff which tends to be very good.

Individual Non-Fan-Song Recommendations: Things Off The Top Of My Head (these may include fandom associations but weren't written for fandoms on purpose):

Pair Of Wings by Frankie Rose: pretty, Sky-aspect Vast flavored.

Paprika by Japanese Breakfast: this was written by someone who understands what it is to be a bard, they're not using those words for it of course but still.

Thick and Thin by Avenged Sevenfold: this is just adorable and wonderful and also very much the vibes of a character I am (this character, ish, actually - Mongfind who is Crow, Vast and a touch of Web, has a place that she is from though I'm very much playing myself there anyway, and the song is thematic to - that group and her role in it.)

I also like a bunch of songs from musicals, which seem like yet a third category. I think if I try to list individual examples I will incoherently not get anywhere useful and we will also be here all day, but for one specific thing - just go listen to almost everything in Pippin.

[c1cloudwhisperer]

holy crap thanks for taking your time to write all that! i recognise a few titles and names! pair of wings is already in my vastard playlist and i also listen to lydia the bard from time to time😛 AND i remember liking a few derivakat songs a few years ago. good times. the rest i’ve yet to listen to…

upd: i’m listening to thick and thin right now and i like it a lot! a bit different from the usual stuff i listen to. i can tell you about my tastes in music as well, if you want

[mongfind-minecraft]

Oooh nice. Sounds like we already share some things! And I'm glad you like Thick and Thin!

Also yessssss tell me about your music tastes! Your turn your turn!

[c1cloudwhisperer]

OKAY :D

i’ve already listed some artists in my intro post but here i can go more in-depth! my trio of current faves are definitely will wood, cosmo sheldrake and jhariah. all three have been consistently captivating me with their music for at least two and a half years now, but if i had to describe it in short i would probably break down.

with the exception of sheldrake, he’s folk (in spirit, mostly) with lots of funky sounds. one of his songs was made with the help of a cow carcass as an instrument (“Rich” from Pelicans We EP)

i can just recommend you some song sequences that may give you a general idea of them.

besides that, recently i’ve been listening a LOT to my big patchwork vastard playlist. most of my recent favourite songs are from new additions to it (i add new songs by looking up others’ playlists about the vast and yoinking all that i don’t have yet).

actually i lied about the trio. there’s another guy, tom lehrer. you may know him from the masochism tango. not too representative of his music, cause he mostly made comedy songs, usually political, around the middle of the 20th century. i’ve been also listening to him a whole lot lately. mainly the piano versions. might get to the conducted tom lehrer album a little later.

that’s pretty much it for the main stuff! i can drop the contents of the playlist, see if you have more song recs that i could put in there.

[mongfind-minecraft]

Oooh yessss give me the Vastlings Playlist, Cousin! And I make you no promises, of course, but I will try to remember to look into at least some of those other things also!

[c1cloudwhisperer]

my golden second try! (jhariah reference haha)

here’s the patchwork playlist! my pride and joy! some of the songs have a weaker connection than others, i only kept them cause i like them.

i’ll start with cosmo sheldrake cause he’s the easiest to get a feel for in a few songs. my picks would be solar waltz, tardigrade song and cuckoo song. as a bonus you can listen to old ocean, purely because it’s exactly your flavour of vast (:

next is jhariah. they’re more or less consistent when it comes to vibes, though i haven’t listened to all of him yet. i’d recommend flight of the crows, risk, risk, risk! and whose eye is it anyway??? (i recommend the to mend the sun version).

will wood is the trickiest one to capture, because he’s changed with every album. sometimes i see his music divided into the tapeworms and post-tapeworms era. the first two big albums of his have been released under the name “will wood and the tapeworms”, but now it’s just “will wood”. and they’re separate accounts on all music apps i know of. so. i’ll just choose one rep song for each of the main four, in chronological order. 6up 5oh copout, dr sunshine is dead, suburbia overture and half-decade hangover. bonus: he’s got a kind of vast-coded song that’s also in the playlist, falling up. it’s a pretty good one if you wabt to check it out

i’m gonna go listen to the entirety of pippin now

[mongfind-minecraft]

Oooh I want to hear what you think of Pippin!

And thank you for the playlist, Cousin!

[mongfind-minecraft]

drew us listening to will wood. goodnight

OH MY GODS IT'S ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT!

And I've even got my shell! And oh goodness we are such blobs somehow.

Thank you so much, Cousin! And goodnight!

I am a goldfish who forgets things! You asked about what I'm meant to look like, and I told you floaty hair and Vastling eyes, and I forgot the single most recognizable thing I'm meant to have because I am a goldfish who forgets things.

It's - a necklace with a spiral shell on it - just a simple string with seashell - this is a picture a friend drew of me as a crow that I'm using for my discord profile picture, but it'd be the same necklace as a human - howwwwwwww am I this much of a goldfish who forgets things aaaaaaa that is my One Piece Of Iconography.

YOU HAVE JUST GLITCHED MY NEARLY FINISHED SONG REC REBLOG OUT OF EXISTENCE….THANK YOU + CURSE YOU…….AUGH..

[mongfind-minecraft]

Oh gods, I'm sorry!

not my best work but i don’t really want to fix it. have some doodles of us

tge bottom one was the initial idea that i got after looking through some of your interactions with our patron❤️‍🩹 you’re so formal it’s actually really charming

EEEEEEE THANK YOU SO MUCH COUSIN!!!

And I'm glad you find my formality with our Patron adorable.

(I will say - the pictures are all sufficiently androgynous that I can't quite tell if you can tell, but "Mongfind"'s weird enough it might be unhelping - I'm a girl.)

(INSERT EXTRA BOUNCING I LOVE IT SO MUCH)

[c1cloudwhisperer]

I’M GLAD YOU LIKE IT :D i liked drawing your hair a lot

the androgyny was on purpose and no, i can’t tell hehe. i’ve been meaning to ask you about your pronouns (should’ve done it sooner) but i suppose i don’t need to anymore. she/her, then?

(i might draw us some more in the future. be prepared)

[mongfind-minecraft]

Yep, she/her!

Thank you so much again, Cousin, this is epic! I'm glad the Vastling hair was fun to draw.

(EEEEEEEE I will reliably react with bouncy giggly excitement this is great!)

...and I should ask about your pronouns as well - if you have them listed somewhere I've either missed them or forgot.

[c1cloudwhisperer]

MISSED TGE PROBOUN QUESTION anyways i use he/him and they/them + i have them listed at the top of my blog right under “make seen the unseen, turn blue into green” :D

[mongfind-minecraft]

OOP yup yes you do! I even saw that before I think! Sigh. 'M a spot-check-less goldfish occasionally...

[rocedmed]

[mongfind-minecraft]

Prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[rocy5]

[insanearoace]

@mongfind-minecraft Dolphins!

[mongfind-minecraft]

Gasp dolphins! Thank you, Cousin!

[mongfind-minecraft]

⬆️ us reading my kickass vastard propaganda zine

Oooooh very nice!

(Also EEEEEEEEE you drew more things!)

Thank you, Cousin!

[mongfind-minecraft]

I'd like to get into the habit of talking with my mutuals more often, and as the only other sea aligned vastard that I'm aware of, what's your favorite sea creature?

OOH that is such a hard question. Favorites are always hard to pick, on anything, but I'm partial to dolphins.

Oh wow that's pretty.

[annabelle-cane-offical]

Daughter of strings, mistress of spiders! Your reputation proceeds you, Annabelle Cane. As so intrinsically follows with such mutterings, you indeed have the ability to back these claims! Therefore, it is within my own interests to secure my machinations from your influence.

So as extemporaneous as my magic may be, it shall transform you into a creature most buggy! For until the chosen seers recover from my touch, you will be a spider-wasp of the ridge-saddled bunch!

Did you just. Did you just turn me into a wasp that hunts spiders? No, you cant!

@the-mother-of-puppets-offical, help! I don’t want to hunt spiders!

[the-mother-of-puppets-offical]

I’M SORRY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ANNABELLE?? TURNED HER INTO A CREATURE THAT HUNTS SPIDERS???

HOW DARE YOU. KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE AN ENEMY, ARTIFICER.

You may have ‘secured your machinations from her influence’ but did you forget who her patron is? I had planned to leave your ‘machinations’ alone, but as you have now harmed my daughter and offended me greatly I will not allow them to play out as you wish. Consider yourself cursed by the Web. No plans of yours will EVER play out in your favor ever again.

If you would like to clear this sentence it’d be best for you to turn her back immediately.

Annabelle, my dear, I do not know how long it will take for this magic to wear off or if we will need to find a Flesh avatar to return you to your previous form, but I can take away your hunger for spiders. You will not need to hunt your brethren. In this form, I can supply you with fear to feed from. I will fix this.

[mongfind-minecraft]

What? No, my Cousin, my Cousin -

The only reason I am not throwing you in the Sea is because I think the Mother wants to deal with you herself. I recommend you make a pretty apology, idiot.
