A-writer-shade-of-pale - "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost"

On this day so many years ago,

You opened your eyes and welcomed the world.

You, an old soul, with new things to learn

Bravely you have walked the path before you,

The one you chose and made your own, 

It has not been an easy path,

But you have walked it with integrity in your soul,

Mistakes a plenty for the human condition is inescapable, 

Yet wisdom gained with each one,

So broken at times but still whole,

For out of sheer will you have picked up the pieces of you and filled the cracks with gold,

Tears may be streaming down your face, 

Yet your face is always raised against the wind, 

Oh, so brave, 

In your heart, hope still ablaze,

Freedom always gracing your wings, 

As you fly high above,

Faith always painted in your eyes, 

The desire to live and fill the world with the beauty at your fingertips is never ending.  

Let forevermore this day be called blessed, 

All the joy in it be condensed,

and into your blessed heart be laid,

Let the angels sing louder and more beautiful today,

Let the flowers bloom more brightly,  

The wind play more joyfully, 

The sun shine more warmly,

For today is your birthday. 

e.v.e.

• it’s ok if you accomplish things “more slowly” than other people • it’s ok if you find difficultly in what others consider “easy” • it’s ok if you fall behind, you will still reach your destination • it’s ok to take life at your own pace

One of my favourite films ever!

This is, sadly, very true 😔

Sequel to Halfway Home

Author’s Note: This song, this damn song, oh my god. I confess I hadn’t listened to any Halsey at all (besides a couple of collabs with other artists I like) until I was music swapping with @mandy23b​…  But I honestly don’t think I’ve loved an album this much lyrically in a very long time! Anyway, a second part was always in the works. This song for sure inspired the finish of it.

Thank you @mendelskrull​ and @crawlingmist​ I really REALLY hope the sequel was worth the wait 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Control - Halsey

I wrote this before I read ‘If It Bleeds’ but I see the immediate eerie similarities in my Shifter species. I think I might cover it off in the finale…

Premise: After a particularly erratic encounter with Ralph Anderson, you wait on your fate… can you trust the Detective to make the right choice? Can he trust you, at all?

Absolutely agree 🥰

I don’t have a ‘type,’ but if I did it would be hot Tolkien men.

@wltz-bby​ @happyskywhale​

Happy Birthday @mandy23b​ 😘💕

May I proudly present to you, your babies!

Author’s Note: Pretty much entirely book canon and references, which is how we like things in this house!

I’m not gonna lie, when I very first heard this song (in… April?) I thought about it as a Ralph song, and then a Ralph/Jeannie concept and I knew that if I was going to do it - I would write it for you for your Birthday, so, it’s been a little while in the making, to say the least!

I hope you enjoy, and that you don’t mind that it’s not a reader insert for your birthday 🎁💙

Love you lots @mandy23b​! 😘😘
