Prompt, OG Crossover, Law And Crime Officer

Jaune claims that he isn't a furry, but it is clear that when he partners with Judy Hopps, he has a massive crush on her.

Jaune: “For the last time. I am not a furry nor would I ever be one!”

Nick looked at the human hunter who eyes wandered off to Judy who was walking down the corridor with her attention on the touch pad, hips swaying left and right which made Jaune licked his simultaneously wet and dry lips.

Nick: “Right….”

Songs I fell in love with

Thank you @justkeeponthegrass for tagging me, makes my day! The post was long in coming, but I wanted to do it right, I hope you’ll like it. <3

If I understand the rules, we’re listing ten songs we love and can listen to on repeat… 

It’s bound to change often, but I’ll present you my current obssessions. Songs I belt out in my igloo or in any car I happen to be taken in, because yes, if you must know, I sing in cars, with or without the radio (preferably without) that’s a thing. Weirdly enough, it creeps my drivers when I don’t… ‘nuff said, let’s go:

1. Pink and Gold — Kate Gillespie 

This one is a surprise, my absolute repeat song. I discovered it via Spotify and it was glorious from the very first notes. Then I heard the lyrics and they stuck, I’ve been humming them everyday for a week now. “Oh sometimes, it’s how life goes/You have to learn from poetry and prose/Some days, we’ll miss each other most/But you made the choice to leave me with your ghost.” Not the most happy song, but it’s hopeful and accurate.

3. Fall — Joshua Hyslop 

Again, I thank Spotify and my bestie who had just finished her nightshift and couldn’t stomach me listening to Queen through my headphones next to her… So I gave it a try, and got mesmerized. I personally got very RebelCaptain vibes out of this (made an edit for the Jyn squad) but maybe that’s just me: “And i heard you when you called/Heard you saying/Hope in what you cannot see/Hope is not some guarantee/Oh I heard you when you’re close/Do you hear me”.

3. The Fear — Ben Howard

There’s quite a few songs of Ben Howard I tend to listen to on repeat when I can’t shut my brain off (Oats In the Water especially, or Old Pine). Somehow, this is the one that played the most this week, at 5:17 AM this morning, I saw it played more than 170 times already. sigh. I guess the music is catching, and the lyrics a bit too spot on: “I been worryin’ that my time is a little unclear/I been worryin’ that I’m losing the one’s I hold dear/I been worryin’ that we all live our lives in the confines of fear”.

4. The Water — Johnny Flynn (and Laura Marling)

I don’t remember how I came upon this jingle-like song. But once I heard it, it struck. Usually I listen to this twice or thrice before switching. It gives me a comforting feeling, somehow. “Lord, take me away/For I just cannot stay/Or I’ll sink in my skin and my bones/The water sustains me without even trying/The water can’t drown me, I’m done/With my dying”. I know, I’m not sunshine and rainbows these days…

5. Lost In my mind — The Head and the Heart 

I think it summarize my current state of mind just fine. Anyway, I listen to this quite regularly. I low-key sang it doing the dishes yesterday, much to the amusement of my very French relatives. But hey, I can’t do any chores without humming, singing or such… ever heard of the Snow-White syndrome? “Oh my brother/Your wisdom is all that I need/Oh my brother/ Don’t you worry ‘bout me.”

6. Home Again — Michael Kiwanuka

I heard it on a TV commercial, I don’t remember which one, then I stumbled on it in a folder recently, and before I knew, I was replicating it, trying to cheer myself up in my father’s car. He lifted an eyebrow, but smacked the wheel with his fingers (he’s got no proper sense of beat, so it wasn’t timely) and just like that, I felt a bit better. I think of this when I hit play. “So I close my eyes/And the tears will clear/That I feel no fear/Then I’d feel no way/My paths…”

7. Quizás — Jaudy

My Spanish is mostly forgotten after ten years or so, but the Portuguese driver from my Uni days had a deep love for Bachata songs, forced me to translate sometimes… so some appreciation have rubbed on me to this day. After several attempts, I got the gist of it, and when I write Cassian and Kes, I like to have some Spanish around. It doesn’t hurt if it can match the plot. I’d give you lyrics, but none are published and I don’t quite trust my ear enough… Jaudy did a beautiful song for his mother too, “Gracias” *sigh* 

8. Holding On — The Luck

I like country like, acoustic songs… and The Luck delivers. I like that one, it’s flawless, and I thank Spotify again. I scribbled down these lyrics a few days ago: “And I’m holding on, holding on for normal life/And I’m holding on, holding on for you, decide/Full of old and new, the one I thought I knew/And the cold collision course that you went through/How did you do?” 

9. It’s Only A Paper Moon — Ella Fitzgerald

I’m no stranger to the brilliance of Ella F. Her version of Blue Moon is my all time favorite and I named my beloved furry guardian angel after her. I often hum a standard or another under my breath. But somehow this one plays more often than not these days: “It’s phony it’s plain to see/How happy I would be/If you believed in me.”

10. A Part — William Fitzsimmons

I find his voice soothing, even if the lyrics of this song are pretty heavy. The whole Charleroi EP is, too be honest, but since I first heard him on the soundtrack of the One Tree Hill series, my eardrums fell in love. The lyrics are painfully accurate, even if, speaking for myself, I am thankfully NOT in the same predicament: “There’s a sparrow at my window/I was not an orphan long/I’m not saying that I hate you/I just wonder where we all went wrong.” 

Here, if you’ve read it all I thank you. Let’s hope you will find something that suits your taste, if not, well… here’s mine. I don’t know whom would be interested in doing this, so if you’re willing, consider yourself tagged.

Men-ar-Rumpet Gallery Grave, Brittany, France

The Men-ar-Rumpet Gallery Grave (also known as Men-ar-Rumpet-Bretaña, or La Pierre des Druides) overlooks the mouth of the river Jaudy near the village of Kerbors. These structures are known locally as “allée couverte.” The site was used as a collective burial ground.  A gallery grave is a type of chambered tomb found in France, most of which date to the late Neolithic period. Dating of some gallery graves is difficult, as the tombs may have been constructed in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, but reopened and used for burials until the Late Bronze Age.
