The Before And After - Masterlist

Love, Intertwined

Once upon a time…no, that’s not how your fairy tale goes. Din might have saved you that fateful day, but he was no knight in shining beskar armor. But the universe has a funny way of pushing people apart and bringing them back together again. 

I. Prequel - Coming 8/4

II. I See You

III. I See Us

🎶✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️

I gasped when I got this! My first ask!! Hi!! I love you!

I'm so sorry this took so long to respond to, but I have absolutely overthought which songs I wanted to share that have been on repeat for me lately.

1. Dead in the Water by Spelles

This song got me through some tough times recently. It captures that feeling of panic, isolation, rejection, and resentment of someone you love hurting you and reminds you to take back that power and be the person you need at that moment rather than relying on someone else to do that for you.

2. Heaven Sent by Parker Millsap

This song hits home for me being queer and from the deep south. Especially with some recent drama between myself and my family this past week. I love Parker's voice and the vulnerability he portrays in his songs and the vividness of his lyrics just paints such beautiful pictures and this song makes me cry every time. I get halfway through singing along before I start sobbing.

3. Priest by William Crighton

This kinda ties in with the first two songs' theme-wise about taking back power and finding freedom in doing the right thing even if it's hard to do or might result in your downfall. His voice is so emotional and powerful and you can feel his relief in the chorus over his choices in the song that makes a normally dark song light and happy and hopeful.

4. Raise Hell by Brandi Carlile

I wouldn't be a good gay if I didn't include the woman who got away from me because she was older and happened to get married when I was in college but whatever. This song is just so powerful as a long song and one of empowerment that I feel like a lot of straight singers just don't quite get in their music and this is a song I can see myself maybe have at my own wedding someday.

5. Like a Stone by Audioslave

The one song on the list that's a different genre but god Chris Cornell has a spot in my heart that will forever ache with his loss. His voice always cut through me in ways that most other singers just don't with how it captures emotion in the different octaves he's able to sing at. Just such extraordinary talent gone too soon and I listen to this song at least once a week and have since he died 5 years ago.

Contemplating some of my favorite fics and how I'm happy they exist but also sad AO3 doesn't have a chat option because I have some thots™️ I really want/need to talk to someone about but I don't have many friends who are as into Mando let alone Star Wars as I am or read Din x reader inserts (hence why I'm here).

So this is my Bat-signal for anyone out there who's read Babysitting for an Alpha by Much_Ado_Abt_Novels and or An Exchange of Credits by ninaloveshiddles to slide into my DMs to cry, rage, and gush with me over how beautiful these fics are and how they've honestly been living in my head rent free these past few weeks. Especially An Exchange of Credits the last chapter has had me angsting and yearning all week and I could use a support buddy right now.

I hate it when you’re reading smut and you can’t figure out what position they’re in.

This is the way (aka. versitility of Pedro Pascal)

I literally just need to edit the fic I've been promising for weeks now like this post to give me the power to finally fucking finish and post it. Transfer your power to me, you insomniac heathens.

I completely forgot I made this and panicked when I saw I had nearly 100 notifications. I'm glad you people are enjoying the suffering I inflicted 😂

Anyway, hi! Welcome to my shit show! Make yourself comfortable! I have snacks.

I don't know if anyone's done this yet cause I'm not in the PP fandom, I haven't seen it, but since watching SNL I can't unsee this whenever I get the ad for it so suffer with me.

I made this in 5 minutes while I made mac n cheese don't @ me over quality just enjoy.
