what about everything? carbon leaf – she’s actual size they might be giants – into a fantasy alexander rybak – om du moter varg detektivbyran – sons and daughters the decemberists – wars the strumbellas – spark fitz and the tantrums – world spins madly on the weepies – blindness metric – me and mine the brothers bright – spirits the strumbellas – sax rohmer #1 the mountain goats

#confession: I giggled all the way through ‘Actual Size’ because oh my god was that song literally written about Gil? #gosh but ‘Into A Fantasy’ what a perfect song for little Gil and Tarvek I’m so sad#(please picture the OT3 dancing to this song you’re welcome)

I love it

Bonus: I spent a while deciding whether to include that one or Fairytale, which is… also very Gil.

#that fourth one is what he and Agatha waltz to on Castle Wulfenbach and nothing will convince me otherwise

…the Spooky Electronic Noise in that song is a theremin. Which operates by heterodyning. The title translates to “If You Meet the Wolf.” 

I had to.

#’I know I could do you proud when I’m high above those clouds’ oh Gil honey#’I can’t sleep but I’m fine; there’s a soldier in my mind’ are you KIDDING ME WITH THIS#’Spark’ is such a great song for – well – sparks#’The World Spins Madly On’ is also perfect and sad and ow no why#’I will burn your kingdom down if you try to conquer me and mine’ goddamn#God what a line that is#honestly tempted to make that my Gil tag but it works for Agatha too#all these songs about voices and pain in the singer’s head are exceptionally rude and I demand a personal apology

I am not sorry, but I am suffering with you, so… there’s that?

#and gosh of course everything by The Mountain Goats is utterly devastating#every battle heads toward surrender on both sides#I am coming home to you with my own blood in my mouth#that’s… yeah#in conclusion: excellent fanmix I’m gonna go cry over Gil feelings now (via) 

Thank you! I’m v glad you liked it 🙂

I think one of the things meeting Prende has done is explain some of what Otilia was feeling as Von Pinn. The Muses have what seems to be a kind of GPS – Prende is able to consult internal charts to be sure they’re in Paris – and also perfect time sense – Prende knows exactly how long she’s been underground watching over Andy.

As Von Pinn, Otilia wasn’t only dealing with a bunch of senses she’d never had before, she was missing at least two very important ones. It was probably really disorienting to even be able to be lost. Also, this may explain her obsession with her watch and time keeping. If she can’t sense time passing in herself any more, she’s going to hold on really tightly to the thing that lets her navigate it anyway.

That’s really interesting and makes a lot of sense. You know, that makes me think

The muses probably have some sort of inbuilt proprioception – knowing where your body is relative to yourself. But i’m betting, that, with the exception of maybe a few sensor pads like hands and feet possibly, otilia did not have a sense of touch.

There’s artwork of mOtilia wearing long flowing dresses, but vpOtilia only ever wears the tight leathers. I’d bet that they’re completely skin tight and don’t move, so that the only sense of touch that otilia has to deal with is the leather.

You can get used to one sensation over time to the point where, if not you don’t notice, you can tolerate it at least. I’m wondering if the same sort of thing applied here. She couldn’t deal with fabrics and a general sense of touch in the Von Pinn body, so she retreated into the leathers.
