“Getting drunk in space” is an entire genre unto itself, and that’s beautiful.

Black Widows in the Privy – Julia Ecklar
Everyone knows someone we’d be better off without
But best not mention names for we don’t know who’s about
But why commit a murder and risk the fire’s of hell
When black widows in the privy can do it just as well
#comedy#sca @filkyeahfilk is this the post you meant to reblog, it’s about spiders and murder… (my kinda song tbh)
spiders and murder are hilarious, I’ll have you know

Lament for Boromir – Arkady
I’m attempting to ruin @dog-of-ulthar‘s life with the revelation that I like folk music. Especially nerdy folk music. I don’t think I sing that well, but making @dog-of-ulthar freak out is worth it.
So this is the Lament for Boromir taken from Tolkien’s The Two Towers. It’s probably my favorite poem in Tolkien’s works. I feel like a lot of his poems and songs are overlooked because they don’t have melodies we can easily put to them so they’re not instantly appealing. This melody is borrowed from Colin Rudd’s version of the song but decided not to put any accompaniment with it since there wouldn’t have been an accompaniment with the song in the book. So I really can’t claim any part of this song aside from very poorly singing it.yeah anyway now I’m crying about folk music and dead fictional kings, so that’s great
Good. I consider this a success then.
Confusions – Cecilia Eng
All that I want is a single thing that’s mine
Is that so very selfish, or so much out of line?
All that I want is one corner of my own
One place were I can be myself and just my self alone
@obscenitiesandgeekery, the stars have aligned!

Thanks to @sumeriasmith, who did a lot of digging through poorly cataloged MP3 files to find this!

Howling Commandos! Theme Song – idiopathicsmile
Okay so who do I have to bribe for fanart of the super cheesy 90’s era Howling Commandos children’s cartoon that TOTALLY 100% would’ve existed within the Marvel movie-verse?
And would it help if I wrote a theme song?Howling Commandos! Howling Commandos!
Evil fears just one name: Howling Commandos!
Good is gonna win the game: Howling Commandos!(Roll call!)
First Captain America, the leader of the pack! (Cap: This way!)
Second, Sergeant Bucky Barnes who always has his back! (Bucky: Aye aye!)
Montgomery and Dum Dum, they’re a team that can’t be beat! (Dum Dum: Tally ho!)
Add Jacques and Gabe and Morita and now the crew’s complete! (Gabe: Righteous!)They’re gonna go that extra mile,
now Red Skull’s in a bind
So grab your shield, don’t touch that dial—
it’s gonna be a…howling…good time!
#In the cartoon they also have a talking pet wolf named Betsy Ross #It’s an ‘educational’ show so every other week one of the commandos learns the importance of teamwork #captain america #howling commandos #it was canceled after ten episodes but the wolf got her own spinoff series (via @idiopathicsmile)
Fair Lady Atlantia – Efenwealt Wystle
Fair Lady Atlantia, she rides upon the wind
The bravest of warriors, and the poet’s friend
Though I’ve traveled for many days
She never seems so far away
Fair Lady Atlantia, my lady by the sea
A song about North Carolina…or the SCA version of North Carolina. “Fair Lady Atlantia,” by Efenwealt Wystle.

In Flight – idiopathicsmile
so @paticmak made this lovely drawing/animation of “poe singing space folk songs to the other resistance pilots” and then @soemily activated the SPACE-SIGNALING BEACON OF WRITE A SPACE FOLK SONG
this one turned out like 50% space folk song, 50% blindsided by poe dameron feelings. (surely you, the internet, understand.)
