The Silver Knight – Will Sturman

dog-of-ulthar:

Another song you can find lyrics to in Dragon Age: Inquisition, this one about the conquest of the Dales (if you don’t play Dragon Age, that means it’s about KILLING ELVES, and that’s all the context you really need).  I may have come up with this tune at 2 AM in a hotel room at Dragon Con.
Credit to @sharkalanche, who was finishing her armor in that hotel room at Dragon Con and is the reason I didn’t just go the fuck to sleep, and @mostfacinorous, who still technically owns the mandolin I’ve been using.
The lyrics are here, and my chords are Em / D / Bm A / Bm Em
(I screw up the words at one point but YOU KNOW WHAT there are A LOT OF WORDS IN THIS)

The Prophecy Hotline – Kari Maaren

“Whenever a prophecy turns up in a story, characters behave with steady, maddening predictability, doing EXACTLY THE WRONG THING IN EVERY WAY. I have set up a musical telephone hotline for these characters. It may help, but that’s up to them.“

Waiting to Stand in Line – Mikey Mason & Kirsten Vaughan

I HAVE NEGLECTED THIS BLOG FOR TOO LONG
as an apology, here’s a DRAGON CON 2015 EXCLUSIVE VIDEO (that’s how I make it sound good despite it being a low-quality recording taken from the back of the room), of a song that had literally been written earlier that day
Mikey Mason and Kirsten Vaughan (one of the Blibbering Humdingers) sing a song about the essential convention experience, “Waiting to Stand in Line”

oh god

I can think of a couple of ways this could go

either you play CAH normally but every round somebody has to find or improvise a song based on the winning card, or

“WE’RE BANNED FROM ARGO EVERYONE, BANNED FROM ARGO JUST FOR _____.”

(winning card: “Another fucking rendition of ‘Banned From Argo’.”

ahahahahaha oh god the urge to make up more cards

this could be so very terrible

… are you by any chance coming to OVFF this year

other cards: “requesting ‘horse tamer’s daughter’ after somebody just finished singing ‘ice and fire’”

“the guy who ALWAYS sings (for a given definition of the word) ‘tomorrow i leave for battle’”

“trying to sing ‘wanderlust’ after your voice already died”

“march of cambreadth at 1AM”

“post-apocalyptic leslie fish”

(…oh god I just imagined leslie fish in Mad Max Fury Road and my brain is broken)

If I ever write a Mad Max Fury Road fic, there’s an excellent chance that Leslie fish is getting tuckerized as one of the Vuvalini.

The anti-Doof Warrior. (With black powder and alcohol.)

but anyway, Filkers Against Humanity.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*already editing*

“another filk of that same Billy Joel tune”
“settling for a word that sort of rhymes”
“Weird Al Yankovic”

this is extremely important
