!! dr based fic info ༊*·˚
hi guys!! i'm so excited that the wheels are finally turning on this fic!! i'm gonna put some basic info yk oc, love interest, trope, place in the band, etc!! fyi idk how many chapters itll be, and the ending probably wont be based off my fic entirely depending on if i want to write that much yk, but i'll see as i go :) !! it's set in march 1983 when i first shift!! things will be a bit more sped up for plot purposes n bc im impatient here, but sadly i have to be patient in my dr 😒 moving on!!
└── •✧• ──┘
!! pov, plot and timeline ༊*·˚
it's in the first person point of view, so for example: "i woke up and went to work" does that make sense? the plot is set in march 1983, well after the move from new york to san francisco with my best friend, dave mustaine.
!! original character info ༊*·˚
name and dob: giana vázquez ┊march 20th, 1963 job: waitress at marco's diner band info: 2nd lead guitarist and vocals in metallica appearance and personality: 5'2, mid-size, black square-ish glasses, dark brown short (but also not?) hair with shaved sides, dark brown eyes, nose hoop and vertical labret piercing, and a gummy-ish smile!! personality is more unfiltered but not mean unless needed, subtly sarcastic, and very kind hearted (not to james).
└── •✧• ──┘
!! main people, other original characters, and love interest info ༊*·˚
dave mustaine: childhood best friend, ex boyfriend, and roommate tori hetfield: best friend, james' twin sister, and metallica's manager jasmine prince: best friend, tech support, and co-manager with tori molly brezowski: best friend, coworker, and tech support lars ulrich: best friend (basically platonic soulmate) cliff burton: best friend and professional pancake lover kirk hammett (haven't met yet): best friend and slash: close friend and ex "fling" nikki sixx: close friend and ex boyfriend
!! love interest info ༊*·˚
my love interest is james hetfield (duh), it's a genuine love hate situation. the trope is enemies to lovers, it's a bit of a slow burn in my dr, but for the fic i plan on speeding it up. despite hating each other, we're still friends and bandmates, of course there's subtle and sometimes blunt flirting, but more on his side than mine. hatred aside, it's the kind of "you came?" "you called" kinda thing, he'll say he hates me and i hate him, but it's his room i go to when i wake up from a nightmare, it's him who i sing my songs to, it's me who he comes to when he's stressed beyond his eyeballs, it's me who he comes to for help with a riff or solo. we hate each other publicly, but privately, it's just different but not? the tension has always been there since we met, but it keeps getting thicker as we spend more time together, whether in rehearsal or in our apartments or hanging out together. it doesn't matter what i say, sober or drunk, i do hate his guts. but when all is said and done, he's there.

i hope this was a well explained intro post and i'm so excited to get to writing :))
No one understands me like Yuval Mendelssohn does 💔

AUSTRALIA ABORIGINAL PICTOGRAPHS WORLD HERITAGE ROCK ART WANDJINA ART found throughout the Kimberley. Strange are these heads with short, narrow nose, so different from aboriginal faces, a sort of helmet on the head, a sort of glasses. They haven't lips, because according to the Mowanjum tribe, the Wandjinas didn't speak. It reminds me of "Memories of the Future. Unsolved Mysteries of the Past" by Ernest von Daniken. The book suggests that some ancient artworks throughout the world could be interpreted as depicting astronauts. Harald Reini made a documentary movie of 1h30 based on the theory developed in the book of Daniken. This documentary film was presented for the Oscars en 1970. #landscape #indigenous Australians #aborigines #dreamtime #australia #harald Reini #ernest von Daniken #kimberley #aboriginal pictographs #rock art #pictographs #national parks #world heritage list #dreamtimel #myths #beliefs #wandjina #art #history of civilizations #gods #mowanjum tribe https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRvkIrgE0zfQd1_GJjHIbIyARbeF8c7fSPjdo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7omw1uf9itf9
Hiii! Do you guys know any good recs for Linkin park fics? 🙏🏼💋💓
Rebel Rebel by David Bowie
Song first appeared in 1974, on the album Diamond Dogs. I already recommended this one but, EVERYTHING about this songs make it a hit choice for Pride Month Recs.
First it was coupled with Queen Bitch (David Bowie - Queen Bitch (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972) (youtube.com)) on the B face of the Vinyl, a song sung in gay vernacular about being an active participant of "the gay life".
Secondly, the lyrics make a lot of allusion at being Gender Non-Conforming, Transgender and Non-Binary. They make allusion at the Punk subculture and possibly reference the Drag scene (with the famous Drag Queen Divine).
And last but not least, DAVID BOWIE HIMSELF. David Bowie is a bisexual artist (first come out as gay, then later as bisexual), who used to crossdress and defy gender norms. He was a queer icon that inspired generations of LGBTQIA+ people, from the 70's to nowaday.
According by sources given by @loveonfalls , he also used to identify as gay.

(Lyrics under the cut)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1] When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But, darlin', when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same? Yeah
[Chorus] Nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain
[Verse 2] We've been through this such a long, long time Just tryna kill the pain, ooh yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walkin' away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head, just knowin' that you were mine, all mine
[Chorus] So, if you want to love me Then, darlin', don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain
[Refrain] Do you need some time on your own? Do you need some time all alone? Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Bridge] I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you, woah-woah
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain] Sometimes, I need some time on my own Sometimes, I need some time all alone Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3] And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ooh yeah I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame
[Chorus] So, never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro] (You're not the only one, you're not the only one) Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody

No Surprises by Radiohead
Released on May 21st, 1997, from Radiohead's fourth album Ok Computer
(lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide
[Chorus] And no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent
[Verse 2] This is my final fit My final bellyache with
[Chorus] No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please
[Verse 3] Such a pretty house And such a pretty garden
[Chorus] No alarms and no surprises (Get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (Get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises, please (Get me out of here)

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths
From the album The Queen Is Dead, in 1986.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people And they're young and alive Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one anymore Take me out tonight Because I want to see people And I want to see lights Driving in your car, oh, please don't drop me home Because it's not my home, it's their home And I'm welcome no more
[Chorus] And if a double-decker bus crashes into us To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Verse 2] Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care And in the darkened underpass I thought "Oh God, my chance has come at last" But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum, oh, I haven't got one Oh, oh
[Chorus] And if a double-decker bus crashes into us To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Outro] Oh, there is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out

I'll Be Your Mirror by The Velvet Underground
I know the poll is still going, but I still wanted to share so here's an exemple of what Other could be...
Lyrics under the cut ;)
[Verse 1] I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain, and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home
[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you
[Verse 2] I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty you are But if you don't, let me be your eyes A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid
[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you
[Outro] I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are)
Lyrics from Genius : The Velvet Underground – I'll Be Your Mirror Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam
Please take four(4) minutes of your life both listen that masterpiece and watch that animated clip by Todd Mcfarlane (also known for the one of Freak On A Leash by Korn) I promise it's not a waste.
I Love Rock N' Roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
Been rolling with this since I'm 12, wonder why I turned out like that...
Cherry Bomb by The Runaways
Free boost of confidence, on display for you to rock !
Happy Birthday, David Bowie!
Starman by David Bowie
A legendary classic to commemorate an icon that would have hit 77years old today... Rest in peace, Mister Bowie
War Pigs by Black Sabbath
Just to prevent from any hateful comment I may have seen on other things citing this group, Black Sabbath is, as far as I'm concerned, NOT an anti christian group. Stay respectful, please, not matter the religion or lack of it you have. You can get mad at war though
Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley
Good and happy 2024th year of the Gregorian calendar ! A dancy one to start things well
Glycerine Queen by Suzi Quatro
please follow my band @deafracoons on this accursed app. all ye who see this are compelled.
we're like if queens of the stone age had a shit singer
i'm sorry but complaining about RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE being leftists? did they even fucking listen to what zack de la roche was singing? did they pay attention to a single fucking lyric?
the machine they were raging against was capitalism.
You hate that your favorite bands are exercising their free speech.
i love the idea that in the song Hotel California by the Eagles, the speaker only realises how horrible staying in the eponymous Hotel California actually is when they realise that there is no wine.
✨Rock✨
What if I made Tokyo Ghoul OC
Idk if anyone will actually listen to me. Steve most likely listens to rock. Ik people love talking about how he probably listen to the top 40 songs but I asked my dad who grew up in the 80s (and was also a semi rich kid basketball player in highschool) about what they listened to most back then. Literally all rock.
when life so tough you got to pull out the hole playlist 🎀
@ros2es love this mood board 🖤
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
Bashing my head against a white wall, Ripping the picture I took with you again, I will never smile like I used to.
