civil twilight - letters from the sky

you and i were made for this / i was made to taste your kiss / we were made to never fall away / never fall away

coldplay - atlas

carry your world / i'll carry your world / carry your world / and all your hurt

zero 7 + josé gonzález - last light

yeah, i'll keep you safe and sound / i'll keep you safe and sound / keep you safe and sound / safe and sound

naughty boy + bastille - no one's here to sleep

you were always faster than me / i'll never catch up with you / with you

new radicals - someday we'll know

i bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow / i watched the stars crash in the sea / if i could ask god just one question / why aren't you here with me tonight?

linkin park - in between

i cannot explain to you / and anything i say or do / i hope the actions speak the words they can

midnight sons - if only tears could bring you back

look in my eyes / and you'll see a million tears have gone by / and still they're not dry

natalie imbruglia - identify

your eyes they send me to eternity / your heart may cast me down to hell / i'm gone / but lately it's your love / it's condemnation enough

sarah mclachlan - stupid

everything changes / everything falls apart / can't stand to feel myself losing control / but deep in my senses i know

adele - turning tables

i won't let you close enough to hurt me / no, i won't rescue you to just desert me / i can't give you the heart you think you gave me

alanis morissette - i remain

your very existence becomes my sacred mission's bane / you bow to kiss my hand / and i ignore ignited flame

florence + the machine - breath of life

and i can see below / 'cause there's something in here / and if you are gone / i will not belong here

björk - play dead

it's sometimes just like sleeping / curling up inside my private tortures / i nestle into pain / hug suffering / caress every ache

anggun - want you to want me

should have walked away / 'cause i know that we can't ever be together / should have closed my mind / should have known that this love can't go any further

COUNTDOWN TO EUROVISION 2015 IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA : DAY 04

While I certainly do not begrudge Loreen for her well-deserved win at Eurovision 2012, I have to say that this charming and upbeat entry from Russia was quite the unexpected surprise. Who'd have thought that a bunch of sprightly Udmurtian grandmothers singing about preparing a simple gathering at home could become an instantly iconic ESC song and would even go on to become a runner-up? And while it's unfortunate that Russia has a very antiquated view on LGBT issues, that has not lessened my admiration for this super catchy dance track.

+++

"Party For Everybody" by Buranovskiye Babushki: Russia's delightfully oddball entry for Eurovision 2012, finishing in second place with 259 points.

+++

P.S. Despite the simple and minimal staging of their Grand Final slot, I love the fact that the Buranovo Grannies really showcased a lot of energy during their performance, and you can tell from their joyful expressions that they responded well to the audience's rousing cheers, not to mention working the hell out of those fabulous traditional Udmurtian costumes!

COUNTDOWN TO EUROVISION 2015 IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA : DAY 03

What I love about this song is that it combines pop and folk elements and highlighting that ridiculously catchy violin hook. From a lyrical perspective, it actually tells a very sad love story which contrasts with the uptempo nature of the song, and I find the combination to be effective. It's an earworm, to be sure, because of the confident vocal and string performance, and this one is surely one of my all-time Eurovision favorites.

+++

"Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak: Norway's winning entry for Eurovision 2009, and currently still holds the Eurovision record for most points earned, finishing in first place with 387 points.

+++

P.S. Watching the Grand Final performance of this song, it always bothered me that Rybak was playing the violin with a bow that had loose strings visibly hanging from it, even though it seemed that the defect did not affect the sound quality.

"Who KILLED the world?" "Our babies will NOT be warlords!" "We are NOT things!"

The Five Wives of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as The Splendid Angharad

Riley Keough as Capable

Zoë Kravitz as Toast the Knowing

Abbey Lee as The Dag

Courtney Eaton as Cheedo the Fragile

You can’t tell me this isn’t what you thought when you saw the fucking movie. My poor kohai War Boy just wanted his senpai Immortan to notice him LOL.

Yeah, so I wrote a one-shot fic because the “Fury Road” fandom needs more stories, okay?!

The one I did revolves more around the Five Wives because I love those girls and they are amazing and they deserve all our love. Appearances by Furiosa, Max, and Nux, of course.

All the warnings are posted on the fic when you click on the link.

Comments, kudos, and constructive crits are greatly appreciated.

Also: a big shoutout to all the fabulous writers churning out all the great fics after watching “Fury Road”! You guys are the best!

And yes, I am WAITING for the Capable/Nux fics because we are all in desperate need of them right now.
