It all started when Stiles walked in one August day with a polka dotted bag in hand declaring that he needed a safe space to make his dad’s Christmas present

Summary

The Hales have been tracking a group of hunters who've targeted small packs with the help of a magic user. When they finally attack the hunter compound, they aren't expecting to find Stiles, a Spark who's practically a slave, and his young werewolf son. Derek isn't expecting the Spark to be his mate, either.

This was a multi-voice podfic project that I participated in but did not organize nor edit.

(The r/Parenting AU some people wondered about but technically did not ask for.)"

One of the promises I made to my mom upon her and my step-dad's demise from this life is that I keep the horses until they pass. It's the same with any other pets they have and I wholeheartedly agreed.

Anyways, that preface aside, I think when the horses do pass away, I will probably adopt a couple of horses from a sanctuary or somewhere nearby and give them a home at that point. If we still have the house when the parents pass and our current horses pass, that's what I'll do.

There's never enough homes for the animals that are in need.

Oh man, this fan-made MV is FANTASTIC. Done for Hannibal using the song Glitter & Gold.

 I think I burnt out on posting like I was. I think maybe I might do a summary post moving forward rather than an every day sort of thing. I'm just not used to posting like I used to do. So I'll try that moving forward.

Thank you for reading. I think I'm going to do this summary instead of posting every day because I don't have the time nor the energy to do so at this point. I keep wondering to myself where all that energy went to but just towards age and life.

I admit I was a little trepidatious about listening to this album today because I had forgotten how much I liked it. Today's album is from Schwarz Stein, called New age children, released in 2003. I remember listening to the first song on this album and being like OH YEAH this is good. Kaya's voice combined with the digital rhythms is such a great mix. I very much enjoyed listening to it today and being inspired to find the albums I don't have saved and being sad that I don't know where to look to download anymore. I would buy but I found an album that was basically $99. I'm not paying that much. I'm not made of money lol.

And my Music Shuffle Nostalgia ended up being Madonna's album "Something to Remember" from 1995. I remember wanting this album because it featured the song that was on the soundtrack for the movie, A League of Their Own, which is such a good movie. I think that this album is probably one of my favorites of hers. 

So if you have any suggestions for communities that share music from Japanese, Chinese and Korean artists, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your time!

Hello! Hope your Monday was at least okay, if not good or great for that matter.

Today's Album-A-Day is Do As Infinity's first full album, Break of Dawn, from 2000. DAI has been one of those groups that I have known as long as I have been into anime. It helps that one of my favorite songs of theirs was one of the end themes of my first major anime fandom, Inuyasha. Some of the songs I saved from way back when before streaming music was a thing were such bad quality and obviously recorded off of radio or something as it was pretty terrible, but it thrilled me all the same because I was able to listen to music made by a Japanese band and it made me happy. This was before I even knew what Livejournal was. Before I even started reading fanfiction, though that soon followed as soon as I found a Yahoo group for Inuyasha. Yahoo Groups was my main interactions back then.

Anyhow, as a result, I have a huge soft spot for them and seeing all their discography on YouTube Music streaming is thrilling to me because of how difficult it was back in 2002-2003 to get anything from Japan, unless you knew fandom people who knew how and I didn't know people, so this is so awesome.

For today's Music Shuffle Nostalgia, f(x) came up with their album, Hot Summer from 2011! I don't even remember how I found them. They are a Korean girl group that was less pop sweetness and more dance and I loved their single "Hot Summer". It stuck in my head so I ended up finding their album on an LJ that was sharing downloads over Sendspace, or Yousendit, or Mediafire, or Megauploads back in the day and I was able to find most of what they had released up to that point. Anyways, they are a delight to listen to and I definitely recommend their first few EPs and Albums. I haven't listened to much of theirs recently, but eventually I plan to.

Thanks for reading my ramblings about the past and about the artists. Hope you have a good rest of the day!
