I turned into a sky bison, help.

Not even terribly uncomfortable dorm room recording conditions could keep me from throwing in my Tumblr welcome to Fire Lord Grey DeLisle… If you aren’t following her, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? GO DO IT NOW. And hey, while we’re at it, Grey… follow me, maybe? ♥ c;

_{Logged onto Tumblr today,
Found my dash in disarray
Who could have made it this way?
DeLisle, comma, Grey}

_{We’re so obsessed with your tweets
You joining is such a treat
Who else could be so elite?
DeLisle, comma, Grey}

_{I promise we’ll be
Nice, accommodating
This place is amazing
Soon you will be dominating}

_{Hey we all know that
Azula’s crazy
But Grey’s on Tumblr
So follow, maybe?}

_{It’s not a fake account,
Promise, baby,
Yeah Grey’s on Tumblr
So follow, maybe?}

_{Hey we all know that
Azula’s crazy
But Grey’s on Tumblr
So follow, maybe?}

_{When she’s not on TV,
Or winning Grammys
Grey’s on Tumblr
So follow, maybe?}

_{Before you took over our site
We missed you so bad
We missed you so bad
We missed you so, so bad}

_{Before you took over our site
We missed you so bad
And you should know that…
So follow, maybe?}

(I have no idea why anyone would want to download this one, but if for some reason you do, have at it! ♥)

Another ATLA-inspired original? Your wish is my command. I wasn’t expecting to get another song done so soon, but the melody and lyrics for this one just flowed out one night, so now I’m super excited to share it with you! ♥

Shifting gears from Yue’s docile and delicate character, this is a piece inspired by everyone’s favorite Fire Nation Princess… Azula, to me, is arguably one of the most fascinating characters ever, and this song is kind of a tribute to that. 

It was inspired by her struggle for control and the decline of her character to the point of her breakdown. At the end of the day, she’s really just a kid who grew up genuinely believing that instilling fear was the only reliable way to connect to her friends and family… What’s more tragic than that?

In any case, as with my previous piece, I think this one can stand on its own despite the clear connection to Azula’s character, so whether you’re listening because you’re a fan of ATLA or not, I really hope you enjoy it — let me know what you think!

_{“Soldier’s Dance” // Adriana Figueroa (tinysaurus)}

_{Love is patient, love is kind
Love will make you lose your mind
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
But do you want to go insane?}

_{All I want to do is win
So tell me, is that such a sin?
If you let go of control
Then it will overtake your soul}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I’m a soldier through and through
Yes, I do what I have to do
I am anything but weak
The thunder trembles when I speak}

_{All I want is to be great
So tell me, what is there to hate?
Fire and fire will collide
I will not let you break my pride}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I am broken I am lost
Oh, was it really worth the cost?
Stood too closely to the flames
And now I’ll never be the same}

(As with my last original, this piece is also available for purchase on Bandcamp for those of you who would like to support the music! Let me know if you download it, so I can properly thank you!! And a huge thanks to everyone who bought the last song, as well — you are seriously wonderful! ♥)

I’m super excited to finally be able to make this post — today I’d like to share with you guys my first completely original song! I’ve never been great at coming up with original stuff from scratch, but I was playing around and somehow this came about.

It’s heavily based on Princess Yue from Avatar: The Last Airbender, but hopefully it’s a song that everyone will be able to enjoy even if they’re not a fan of the series. This is the first time I’ve tried something like this, so let me know what you think! I’m always open to feedback. :)

_{“Daughter of the Moon” // Adriana Figueroa (tinysaurus)}

_{Silver light
She turned her face up to the starlit sky
And on this night began to wonder why
She knew that soon the day would come}

_{Born to be
An heir of beauty and serenity
Into this world she entered quietly
To her surprise she was the one}

_{Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light}

_{Then one day
The sign she’d waited for in skies of grey
Traversed a winding road and came her way
She found the love she hoped she would}

_{But she knew
That she had promises to stay true to
The dormant daughter of the silver moon
Then all at once she understood}

_{Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light}

_{From the sky
She watched the life
She’d known she would leave behind
Said goodbye
And gave her people
Life through her sacrifice}

(If you feel so inclined and you like it, or you’ve downloaded any of my cover songs and would just like to show support, you can buy it here on Bandcamp for however much you feel like! Let me know if you do, so I can send you my profuse love and gratitude! ♥)

HEY GUYS, SO THE VOICE OF ZUKO/IROH II APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED MY MUSIC AND EXISTENCE AND THANKED ME BY MY NAME. …I’m just gonna sit over here in my corner and be ridiculously excited for a bit, is that okay?!

Super huge thanks to janerrp for both linking Dante to my Iroh parody and letting me know that he saw it — you’re the BEST!! ♥ :)

“Things Avatar Fans Don’t Say”

Have you guys seen this post by allonsy-10 floating around today? I literally could not stop cracking up at it. She’s clearly the bomb and you should go tell her how awesome she is! All the witty statements in this video are courtesy of her — I just contributed my lame face for giggles! People keep asking for another video blog so they can see my face but I have absolutely nothing to say, so I figure this should be as good a substitute as any, haha. There you go.

Have I mentioned what a huge fan of chongthenomad I am? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve been listening to her ATLA/Korra mixes on repeat for like a week straight and I have NO REGRETS, whatsoever. She is incredible and she is my hero. Her newest mix is a remake of “Leaves From The Vine,” the song that Iroh sings to his son’s grave in the original series, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It didn’t have any vocals, so I thought I’d add some — I hope I didn’t ruin the beauty of its simplicity! Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
And brave soldier boy
Comes marching home 

You can download this version here on Mediafire!
And seriously, though — go listen to the rest of Chong’s mixes… NOW. ♥
_{(Also, you should definitely consider listening to this with headphones. Just saying.)}
