My best buddy @metrodromeda is back with MORE music remixes. Do y'all remember when I posted abt their Touhou remix because I helped do some art for it?
Yeah I didn't help with this one I just really like it!!! You should check it out it also features Metro's own beautiful Greenie art as umm Flowery!!!!
And while I’m working on something new, it’s finally time to post the pieces I made for the X-Men Remix Challenge earlier.
This one is a remix of @lenistag ’s wonderful work (link under the cut).
I absolutely adore the way you gave Erik white hair in the filmverse — it suits him so well with those sharp eyes and his long face. And I also love how beautiful Charles always looks in your art. Even in DOFP, he’s such a loser princess.
I couldn’t find a link to your remix of my work, so I hope you don’t mind me leaving a link to it on AO3 here.
/waves arms like a market merchant trying to lure people in/
I know it’s a bit late already, but come on, guys — this is an amazing piece. Feel free to leave a kudos and a comment!
-offtop moment-
If you think the drawing looks a little different from the one on AO3 — you’re not imagining it. I tried to fix a few small things on top so they wouldn’t stand out as much😅
On the one hand, it’s nice to see that there’s visible progress since September. On the other hand… aaaargh, I really want to strangle myself right now over those stupid mistakes. I look at my older works and think, “ugly-ass baby, I could’ve done better if I’d just USED. MY. BRAIN.”
This is where I need to hold myself together, not stress, and not delete all my work from my account like I’ve done before🌚🌝
I’m a strong dog. I’ll look at the mistakes and do better.
My very expert dissection of the Sofia the First Royal Magic theme song
*coming a day late because I had to finish an essay but I never finished it in time so here we are anyway :)
So for the song:
What in the beat drop and booming base remix vibes? ...I love it!
It's gonna take me a bit before I can recite it on command without mixing in the old lyrics but I think they changed them just the perfect amount.
They kept the village part which makes me hope we still get to explore more of her trying to figure things out after growing up differently. (I also hope and dream for more villager Sofia flashbacks but only time will tell)
"Now I gotta figure out how to get it right with my whole family" "Learning new powers for all my friends to see" my girl is finally getting to be more open about her magic I'm so happy for her!!! Also I can't wait to see everything she learns past what we've seen in the little clips. I also wonder if the whole get it right with my whole family part means she goes through magical mishaps at home after getting trapped in the amulet similar to what Elena went through in the beginning with her sceptre?
I have to say I LOVE the "Sofia the First!" part in the theme song. Idk it's just so satisfying (especially the first one)
Overall, I feel like the song is a great new rendition for the new show and I can't wait to see what other songs will be coming out!!
Now the scenes!!!
Another new design!! Minimus is looking so cutie here
Magical music again?
Stop- I love these friendship shenanigans and I'm actually so excited to get to know them all!!
More apprenticeship vibes??
Not them getting Nickelodeon slimed-
Sofia excitedly showing off her magic- She's so cute pie I love it! And James and Amber sitting there twining. I can't wait to see what they get up to in their schools too. Miranda looks amazing!! I love that woman so much- And the family is just so family vibes and I love how they're out on a picnic together. I love the scenery too (I wonder if it's in the castle gardens or somewhere else).
This classroom looks absolutely beautiful!!! The desks, the shelves, the picture on the wall, the chandeliers- It all looks so good! I especially love the colours but also
is this a cabinet door or a regular door that they have to levitate from cause the latter would definitely add to the magic school vibes.
New friends!! At first I thought we might've already met the griffin and dragon in the first show and that these were their new designs but Craig confirmed they were new so that's exciting! Also the unicorn is giving Swift Wind from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power but I hope it's not the same case in personality lol.
Cool to know that they had teleported in that teaser scene lol. Cedric, when the hell did you learn to do that? Either he was holding back on us or Sofia somehow taught him a spell he didn't know? Or is this like a whole new magical innovation?
Your honour, they're adorable.
I can't make out who or what this is but is it o importance? Cause this is Sofia's room right?
It's giving the chariot races they do in Camp Half-Blood. I wonder if this is a Charmswell specific thing or if they compete with other schools?
Another classroom! Love the shape of the whiteboard and love to see Zane and Camila are being funny little children.
I love how the books were already set for her. She looks so fun! And the podium is beautiful? And the blue book spine? Love the attention to detail!
I literally love them so much omg they're the cutest ever also is this in the same episode as the picnic also they're having fun and being carefree children and omg I love-
More of the school and oh. My. Goodness. It's so pretty!!!
Also love the crest
And the mountain range view????
Additionally, the title list the first soundtrack release is out so let's speculate!
A lot of these seem to plays on old titles like (I might also be over analyzing it them in that way lol) or like they could have similar vibes/lessons once we hear them. "Time to Shine" and "Rise and Shine" or "The Most Magical Me" and "A Better Me" or "Let's Play All Day" and "You've Gotta Have Fun"
Again, probably reading too much into this but for sure I'm going to love them all and I hope they'll have a variety of characters joining in with the tunes.
Either way, I should probably attempt one more to finish that essay (hopefully I won't lose too many more late marks oops) but I'm actually SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNYYYYY
Undertale / Deltarune fans should check out Stray Children
If you know anything about Toby Fox's inspirations, you know he wears his inspirations on his sleeve. One of those inspirations is Moon: Remix RPG. The people who made that, are pretty much making an Undertale-Like* directly because of Toby himself. The trailer for that game, releasing Oct 30th, is what I've embedded here.
*a game where combat is turn based, you can talk to enemies or beat them up, and dodge their attacks.
There's a bit of history between Toby Fox and Yoshiro Kimura now, if you want to learn more about that I've put it beneath the read more.
Before I get into Moon specifically, I want to get into what I call the "Big Six" inspirations. (Image Source)
(you don't need to read this right now for this post to make sense)
This is from the 5th anniversary, and lists some of the inspirations for Undertale. The main 6 are so prominent that they're present in pretty much all of Toby's works, including Deltarune.
The Mother series impacts the writing all the time, to the point that some of Lancer's lines are just directly from the games. "I'm a tough boy, treat me like one of your items" is just a line from the Escape Mouse item in Earthbound.
Dodging enemy attacks? Everyone say thank you to the Touhou series. Fun Events in Undertale and that secret gumball 1225 room in Deltarune? That's directly inspired by Yume Nikki. (Kris Image Source)
Brandish is through the entire series at this point. The style of shops are directly from the game. The Chapter 1 closet fall of Deltarune used the intro of Brandish (where the two main characters fall into The RUINS and must defeat the King Of The Monsters to escape) as reference. You ever wondered why GLACEIR is misspelled in the Chapters3+4 soundtrack? Also Brandish. Susie's signature attack is called "Rude Buster" because Brandish has a sword called "Planet Buster" and Toby likes referencing things from Brandish.
Why Toriel is white? That's right: Cave Story
But I'm not here to talk about them, I just wanted to emphasize how important to the series all of these are. Moon is no exception. Deconstruction of the genre? LOVE? Sparing enemies? You know, the entire crux of the game? That's all Moon, baby.
(Other games do quite a bit of deconstruction too but this one goes the whole mile)
I'm not going to go over the game's specifics here, if you want that Dorked ( @megaderping ) has both an amazing video about it and her own playthrough uploaded on YouTube. But to sum up: It's an "anti-RPG" where you save monsters from the "Hero" of the game you fall into to gather Love.
But how is Toby involved with this? To put it simply, Toby is the first domino on why Moon: Remix RPG ever came out in English. (Interview)
But it's not just that, Undertale is even why Stray Children exists at all. In fact it's the first RPG he's made since Moon 20+ years ago (Interview 2)
So what we have here is the next RPG from one of the most important inspirations for Undertale, because Undertale directly inspired the person who made that inspiration in the first place to try and make another RPG.
This isn't just a game that you might like because it's similar, this is a game made as a direct response to the inspiration two artists kept giving each other. I think that's beautiful, and I'm eagerly looking forward to it.
Ok so little Prague recap (my first Käärijä concert but I guess not my last one?)
we had a decent spot but I was also just too lazy to queue for ages and I think I’m too old for that lmao
He played for 90 min plus and FUCK YEAH THE SETLIST WAS AMAZING I WAS SO FUCKING LUCKY HE PLAYED VANTALAINEN, HIS NEW DISCO BALLS SONGS LOL, PAIDATON RIEHUJA!, ROCK ROCK REMIX, MOTTORITIE ON KUUMAA AND PEOPLES CHAMPion AND EAT SLAY LOVE!
His rambling was insane but I love his humor and high pitched English voice
It was like seriously funny to see the difference in him flirting with men and women, with women he seemed quite daring and confident meanwhile with men he was kinda shy lol. There was a security guy in front and he was like „wow it’s wonderful you’re here, you’re such strong man, you’re fucking beautiful…. Call me..“ and immediately turned around lmao
There was a pregnant lady and he was so happy about it
He was also super kind and considerate in general like always asking if it’s ok and stuff
He took so many people on stage (shoutout to the person who had to sing Joosts part in Trafik I would have DIED)
My man needs so much approval and praise literally after every new song he was like „do you like it? You don’t have to! But maybe you do… you can listen to it maybe once? But I hope you like it… do you? 👀🥺🥺🥺”
His stage persona is amazing and his showmanship as well like I was jumping nonstop and I had such a good time
I love when bands interact with the audience !!!!! pls don’t change Jere plus band
I was seriously surprised by his voice like it was almost all live and no playback and his voice is really nice and you can hear it was trained well for vain elämää hahahaha
VERDICT I will def go to another of his concerts again it’s just such a fun time and I wish I had more „physical“ friends in the fandom bc I was too shy to talk to anyone plus I was there with my partner who now loves Käärijä too fuck yeah
I wore a KUUMAA SHIRT AND A JOKER OUT HOODIE BUT NONE NOTICED :(
@cold-mother-yngya @the-sleepydragon Y'ALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS.
Come Home - I swear to the Frost Mother herself this sent literal fucking chills down my spine. I never thought I'd feel so moved by a song in my goddamn life. It doesn't just sound like Mother Yngya calling to The Lamb/Player, but the entire flock. Oh my fucking frost I just started mentally and audibly ascending, and I think physically too. So many thoughts came to my mind at this point. The vocals really sent everything home. Absolutely fucking GODLY.
Frozen Over - Already starting off incredibly strong! This song is a great follow-up from Come Home. It seems like a mix of Yngya's speaking with the lambs trying to call The Lamb home, or that Yngya is trying to speak to the cult somehow, but the fading and overlapping vocals make it seem like it's hard for her to properly do so. It's so peaceful and loving..
Snow Day - I love the snowy motif in this (I mean no shit ngl)! It sounds oddly like she's sort of... Yodeling, I think? I couldn't properly analyze this since it was so short- :,D
First Snow - This feels like a flashback of some sort, given the name! That, or it's the joy of experiencing the first snow in who fucking knows how long! The glitching vocals are pretty damn good in my opinion, but the vocals mixed in with the rhythm in the middle of the song, especially the chimes, is EVEN BETTER. Love it. <3
Woolhaven - WHY IS IT SO GODDAMN OMINOUS?? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BUT SHEESH- I don't even know where to begin with this! But the faint sound of bells, along with the intro, really gives off the ghostly feeling, or even a creepy haunted vibe! The beat really carries this home, but GODDAMN THE VOCALS! It seems like they're chanting, screaming, yelling, all at once, and their odd, distorted rhythm here sounds so perfectly off, given the bells.. as if echoing their broken bells. It's so fucking eerie, possibly in my top 3 favorite songs in this god forsaken OST.
Disciples of Winter - I don't know what to properly say on this because I haven't played the game, but it sounds like Sariel and the other disciples singing for, or in unison, with Yngya, as if trying to call for her. Trying to tell her that they're okay. Trying to ask her for guidance. I LOVE IT.
Ewefall - OH MY GOD THIS IS A VERY CLOSE SECOND IN TERMS OF MY FAVORITE SONGS! It sounds like Yngya is guiding the lamb, or her voice is echoing throughout Ewefall! The beat is so heavy, becoming distorted when the sound of guitars hit midway. The lower vocals(?) seem like lost souls, or even voices of The Free Pack! I also like the sound of sticks hitting together midway, and the vocals at the end really send it home, as if Yngya was trying to plead or reason. BEAUTIFUL!
The Free Pack - Fucking damn it. This is SO GOOD. It seems like the voices of the wolves, or even the voice of Yngya unable to get to the Free Pack's Citadel (or even them twisting her words, based on the remix made here!), and then the longer, clearer vocals seems like she's trying to reason with the Free Pack or tell them off. I hate that I love this so much! XD
The Heathen Marchosias - Marchosias you bitch WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT THEME. THE GUITARS AND THE BEAT IS AMAZING AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT. STOP BEING AWESOME GNG LEMME HATE YOU IN PEACE (I mean all of this positively I promise- XD)
Flockade (Peace) - I genuinely listened to this part of the OST repeatedly nonstop. I love the vocals and the peaceful sounding guitars! It sounds like Yngya and her followers are chanting in unison.. It's lovely. Bravo.
Flockade (War) - THIS is better though, imo. This genuinely sounds like she's leading an army into war (makes sense XD) and the army is chanting alongside her! The drums sound oddly like heavy marching.. So lovely yet so strong. Amazing. A wonderful encore.
The Rot - THIS CREEPED ME OUTTTTT. THE GUITARS AND THE SQUELCHING NOISES ARE FUCKING EERIE. The vocals died with the drums makes it seem like the rot is speaking through the heart's beat or along with the heart! It sounds so corrupted and out of place yet it goes together beautifully! I have no words for this except for the fact that I would probably piss myself if I heard this in-game.
Those Who Suffer - I don't know how to describe this.. The vocals are frightening. They sound lost. Corrupted. They're screaming through the rot. It's goddamn terrifying.
Lost Souls - I think this plays prior to awakening Yngya, it's REALLY peaceful and calming, yet feels oddly.. off. As if it's somehow portraying the feeling of fear and trauma whilst also portraying peace and end. Not much I can say on this, but that's because there are no words to describe this. It's fucking GORGEOUS.
The Executioner - OUGHHHH MY HEARTTT NEXT TIME JUST LOBOTOMIZE ME IT WOULD'VE HURT LESS!! THE FUCKED UP BEAT AND MUSIC MAKES HER SCARIER THAN SHE ACTUALLY IS AND THE VOCALS SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S PLEADING AND BEGGING AND TRYING TO RESIST AND- DOES SHE SPEAK RUSSIAN?!?!? THIS PART GENUINELY MADE ME CRY SOMEHOW OH MY GOD
Yngya (First Son, Baal Remix) - YNGYA YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING SIX-EYES LOOKIN' ASS MF YOU HAVE THE BEST SONG OUT OF THE BUNCH I LOVE YOU SO SO SOOOO MUCH!! THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE SONG OUT OF THE ENTIRE BUNCH OH MY FUCKING FROST THE VOCALS ARE GODLY AND THE SONG AND THE BEAT AND THE MIX JS BRINGS IT ALL HOME FR (Also if that's the Baal Remix, is there one with Aym's remix or with no remix? I'm curious!)
Anyway these are my thoughts LMFAO THIS TOOK ME ALL GODDAMN WEEK GNG MY HANDS HURT
"Okay, so for the next book, I want to give Max a new sidekick. I know I want him to be really smart and witty, and for him and Max to form a really deep bond. They're—"
Wille paused at the high-pitched squeal that had left one of the girls to his left. When Simon's eyes found her, she looked just about ready to bounce out of her seat.
"Does this mean he's getting a boyfriend?"
OR The bookstore Simon works at is happy to host a week full of events for the launch of Prince Wilhelm’s first graphic novel. It’s not Simon’s fault, really, that the freshly published author turns out to be much more attractive and charmingly adorable than expected. Or that he suddenly decides to help Simon teach a drawing tutorial.
For the Young Royals Remix Exchange 2025, organized by @youngroyals-events, I had the honor of remixing Paper Frogs and Fairy Tales by the wonderful @gulliblelemon. I absolutely adore the original fic, so if you haven’t read it yet, please please please do. It’s funny and sweet and both the pining and the tension between them are absolutely amazing 🥰
Kate, I hope you like this one 💜 thank you for giving me such a beautiful fic to work with.
Authors Note: This is a Benophie remix of my old fic Insatiable. A late submission for @benophieweek. First smut I have written for this pair; please don't be too harsh! Not betaed. Just utter filth. Enjoy <3
Sophie awakens to a large hand tracing over the swell of her belly. Benedict has been away for a few weeks touring with his artwork, and her body has changed considerably, even in the last few days.
“What are you doing?” She mutters blearily.
“I am sorry to wake you,” his voice is deep and a little rough as he lays on his side next to her. “I just…. You look so beautiful, my darling.”
“I am five months pregnant and look like a balloon,” she responds, slightly deadpan.
“No. You look so… oh god… so wonderful,” Benedict breathes, his hand tracing the upper side of her bump to the underside of her breast. “Your curves are amazing,” he whispers, “look at your breasts,” he squeezes one gently through her nightgown.
She subtly yawns and stretches slightly, pushing her breast into his palm, feeling that stirring deep inside that only he can ever rouse in her.
“Please, please take this off.” Benedict pleads, tugging at her nightgown. “I need to see your naked body. See you, taste you, smell your skin.”
Sophie can’t say no to him. Ever. Even now, in the middle of the night and still half asleep, hauling herself off the bed, finding it easier to peel off her nightgown standing up. She is uncertain about the changes in her body with her first pregnancy, but the way Benedict is responding makes her glow inside. He groans at the sight of her in the low moonlight of their bedroom.
“Get back up here,” he requests urgently.
His hand reaches to help her back up onto the bed, encouraging her over his naked body, grabbing her leg to make her straddle his waist, his body so warm between her thighs.
“Look at me, my love” his voice is reverential and gruff.
His hands run over the swell of her belly, then up to hold her enlarged breasts. She moans gently as he lightly pinches her nipples.
“I’m sorry, darling, but I am unable to help myself; seeing you like this does things to me,” his stuttering words are rushed, a harsh exhale.
With all the hormones surging through her, it doesn't take much to get so aroused. Just her husband’s light touch has Sophie aching for him, she has missed him so much these last few weeks.
“I know it is probably so wrong, but I just want to fuck you so hard,” Benedict confesses in a throaty whisper, surging up under her.
“Do it,” Sophie grits out softly, gyrating slowly onto him, dragging her swollen clit against his abdominal muscles as she feels the leaking head of his rigid cock bump her bottom cheek.
He flips her gently so she is underneath him.
He kisses her fiercely, his tongue snaking into her mouth and drawing little mewls from her throat. Then he drops lower, his nose and hands running over her breasts and belly, breathing deep, tasting her skin. It sets her senses on fire.
“You look wonderful, swollen with my child. Mine,” Benedict growls possessively, his mouth dragging wet kisses over her belly button. His fingertips swirl circles low on her belly, then slip between her legs.
She cries his name loudly as he expertly quests against her nub, so sensitive now. He pushes her legs apart and buries his face there. She exhales a cruse gustily as his tongue quests into her slit, his slight stubble catching on her inner thighs.
“Your taste…” he groans into her soaked flesh, “...so ripe now. God, how can you taste so good? I cannot get enough. I actually want to eat you.”
He sinks his teeth into her labia and bites gently, nudging his nose into her clit. Sophie moans loudly and runs a hand into his hair, pressing him down and pushing up into his face.
“Yes, my love,” he encourages thickly.
“Please get up here and fuck me,” she murmurs, no longer ashamed to voice her desires to this passionate, sensual man she married, him always championing her to do so.
“You want my cock?” He teases hotly, between lashing her clit.
“Yesss,” she is hypnotised by him right now, under his spell, “please give it to me.”
Benedict crawls up her body on all fours, his face sinful, dragging his mouth hotly over her bump, biting her nipples, nipping at her neck, until she feels his cock nestling her folds.
“How much, darling? I need to know you want me as much as I want you.” He holds her gaze.
“So much, fuck me now, husband. I want you so badly.” Sophie declares, staring boldly back at him, writhing until his tip is pressed against her entrance.
He growls and surges into her, pushing all the way to the hilt; her toes and fingers curl at the heavy invasion. He reaches behind her head, grabs a pillow and slides it under her hips. She is so open to him now.
“That’s it, yes,” he hisses, sliding out and back in with a force that jiggles her whole body.
“I love watching how your body moves when I fuck into you. Especially now,” Benedict’s hands rest lightly on her bump as he pumps into her. She can feel every vein sliding against her walls as they cling to his cock.
“Look at you. God, You are so beautiful. You are going to have so many of my babies, wife, because I cannot resist you like this.”
He’s pushing deep, bumping her cervix, Sophie crying out in the pleasurable ache that gives, needing it, craving it, him, everything he wants to give.
“I just… fuck… I always want you like this. I want you pregnant all the time; I am going to fill you every time so you are always with my child.” He curses again, moving faster now, his hands banded around her thighs, pulling her onto his cock, his words interspersed with heavy breaths and grunts.
“Tell me more, husband,” Sophie pleads, every sense heightened. This brand of dirty talk is really working for her today. She loves how much Benedict wants her, worshipping her in this state.
“As soon as you have this baby, Mrs Bridgerton, I’m breeding you again,” he growls. “I’m going to fuck you all day, every day. You will be dripping with my seed.”
“Fuck Benedict,” she stammers. He’s never been quite like this before. Animalistic, his pupils blown wide, his hair sticking at all angles where she has tugged upon it.
“Mine all mine. You were made for me. Made to carry my babies.” He’s moving so quickly that Sophie just clings on, pushing back against his thrusts, chasing her completion, that blinding light dancing behind her eyes. “You want it? You want my seed,” His tone is demanding now.
“Yes, husband, please give it to me. Give me all your seed. I need it,” she babbles, dangling over the edge of oblivion, words tumbling unbidden in the heat of desire.
His fingers find her bud, and it tips her over the edge. He cries out at the force of her rippling around his shaft.
“Yes, milk me, darling, take what you need,” he grits through his teeth, sweat dripping down his neck as he pushes hard twice, then his whole body shudders around her. She feels him coming deep inside, coating her insides.
“Oh, yesssss,” he slumps over her but is careful to avoid putting pressure on her bump, his body curling so his head rests on her breastbone.
Sophie’s breathing slowly returns to normal as she comes back down from the high cloud of bliss she was floating on.
“How many babies are we having, Mr Bridgerton?” She teases with a giggle.
“So, so many,” Benedict huffs a laugh. “I’ll build a whole new wing on this house with my bare hands. You have no idea how wonderful you look, darling. I love you so much.”
He kisses her fervently, sealing his deeds with his words.
“And this little one, too,” he coos, running his fingers over her belly. “I cannot wait to meet her.”
“Oh, You think it’s a girl?” She teases, smoothing out his hair as he shuffles lower to rest his head on her bump.
“I know it is.” He sounds so self-assured. “My two wonderful ladies. The centre of my universe.”
She sighs happily and laces her fingers with his.
“We both love you very much,” Sophie praises as Benedict falls asleep in her lap with a smile on his face.
