alchemyaliceWell, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lk737 , you asked for it, so here it is. Be careful what you wish for!
This is basically a cross-section of what I listen to when trying to write this stupid thing. So, now you know why it is as ridiculous as it is. (Let me know if the graphic is wreaking havoc on your friends page, and I'll put it under a cut if need be.)
There’s no particular track order, because the whole thing is about as random as it gets when one picks music from a 40 GB library under the only advisement that it be anything as long as it’s seems to relate or maybe have a mood similar to what I’m trying to write about.
And can I just add how incredibly difficult it is to do Photoshop while Jensen Ackles is right there in all his gorgeous glory? My brain kept melting every time I tried to add filters and shit because he's just that unreasonably pretty. Not cool, Ackles. Not cool.
Download the mix here. And if you want the album cover, it's here.
Contents:
The Bringer of War, Mars, from The Planets – Gustav Holst
The Space Between – How to Destroy Angels
All our blood lying on the floor
Sense the crowd expecting something more
Opened up, proudly on display
What we tried so hard to hide away
Hush – The String Tribute to Tool
Hunter – Björk
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when
Sacrificial Dance (The Chosen One), from The Rite of Spring – Igor Stravinsky
A Stranger – A Perfect Circle
You're a stranger
So what do I care
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
All the lies
So Far From Your Weapon – the Dead Weather
You dream of seeing fire in them hills
But you better wipe that smile from your lips
Which of us will be the one to go
He who hits the roads the one who lives
The Good Soldier – Nine Inch Nails
Blood hardens in the sand
Cold metal in my hand
Hope you understand the way that things are gonna be
There's nowhere left to hide
'Cause God is on our side
I keep telling myself
Burn My Shadow (feat. Ian Astbury) – UNKLE
I’ll burn my tomorrows
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away
Sora – Opus Daï
Open wide sky
we've got more than hope now
we will use it somehow.
Indigo Children – Puscifer
E.M.P. from the motherin' sun
tore the digital down
dawn of the age of the innocent ones
the indigo children
the indigo children come
Special Cases – Massive Attack
Take a look around the world
You see such bad things happening
There are many good men
Ask yourself is he one of them

Watch me
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness

Fool, come to me again
I am your destiny, mark my words
Don't you ever disagree
Fool, kneel for me again
I am your agony, walk my way
I will never set you free
Pet – A Perfect Circle
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Firdous E Bareen – ISIS
Alive Alone – The Chemical Brothers
And I’m alive
And I’m alone
And I never wanted to be either of those

(if you wants to see my fanart I'll be more than happy to sent you the link: there isn't enough winged!Dean around in my taste! XD)

Date: 20 Jun 2010 13:04 (UTC)You know what, I'll try to make you something for your own winged Dean! (don't know when you'll receive it though... I'll try to make it fast!)
Can you just tell me how big, what color you see the wings? I know how I'll do the claws and how to mingle them with the scale-like feathers but I want them to be as near as you see them yourself!
;D

Re: :)
Date: 20 Jun 2010 16:48 (UTC)I see the wings as pretty damn huge, probably a twenty foot wingspan at least, and probably a deep brown, almost black, though lightening to a coppery tone in places. The spines can be a bit more metallic and coppery, reminiscent of scythes. But don't let any of that restrict your artistic vision! I would love to see what my writing managed to evoke for you!
Thank you so much in advance, it's really thrilling :)
Re: :)
Date: 20 Jun 2010 17:02 (UTC)I'll post it to you when it'll be done ;D

I did it especially for you and even included your user name and the title of your fic on it!
I loved drawing Dean and his wings (they are maybe a little too gold-colored but they had a life of their own and I was only Dean's willful slave! XD)
For them I used the idea of the Archeopteryx's "sceathers" a scale-feather hybrid.
I hope you like it and that you'll use it! ;D
with fangirlish love,
Winged Golden Tiger
Re: fanart! ;D
Date: 5 Jul 2010 15:30 (UTC)Okay, the wings? Even more badass than I thought possible. I LOVE how you incorporated the spikes and the color is awesome and the whole thing is so amazing. It's better than I would have ever even hoped for, and I love you.
If I had a DA account I would favorite it a billion million times over. Thank you so much, I'm so honored and you are so beyond talented.
*FLAILING MADLY AND IMMEDIATELY PIMPING IT ON LJ*
Re: fanart! ;D
Date: 5 Jul 2010 15:41 (UTC)And yes pimp it all you wants!! If it has more people coming to read the awesomeness of the Wings of War, the better!!
And I love you too! <3 <3 <3

Date: 5 Jul 2010 15:43 (UTC)Thank you again, so much!
Love, Alice
Re: fanart! ;D
Date: 5 Jul 2010 16:09 (UTC)I had to show you how much I love your story and as you managed to combine possible Dean/Cas (wich I love, love, love) wing!fic and power!Dean a good fanart was the best solution! ;)
I will wait for the next chapies and review fangirlishly back to you for them, that I promise.
You've earned yourself a fic stalker! ;D
love
