So Much Like Your Father

[for resbang 2017]

Author: DemonRider404 

Artist: Marsh of Sleep 

Summary: Melody is the only daughter of Maka and Soul Evans. She has struggled with feelings of bitterness and loss, and the unwanted pity of her peers, since Soul supposedly walked out when she was a child. But when she secretly witnesses her father’s brief return eight years later, she learns that he may not have abandoned her after all–and that he may be in grave danger. Confused, intrigued, and sick of living with a “broken” family, Melody enlists the help of her partner and her mother’s old friends to find out the truth, and bring her father home for good. 

Pairing: Gen

Rating: R

Warnings: Language, family drama/dysfunction, abandonment, descriptions of depression, mild blood, and blackmail, intense scenes of violence, kidnapping/hostage situation

Hi SE friends, we’re here to tell you about the latest step forward for Resbang and other future bang events!

We all know that Yuku was the scum of the universe was an outdated, buggy place to host the forum: there were numerous issues, often broke when we needed it most, and was slow and clunky. We are happy to announce that we’ve upgraded to a new forum service that will work much better, on Jcink. It is more streamlined, reliable, secure on https, and we think everyone can appreciate the difference in utility and service. 

You can put your eyes on it here!

However, while hosting a forum on Jcink is initially free, in order for us to continue events like Resbang and Reverb that allow adult/nsfw content, we must upgrade our service package. Upgrading the forum gives us utilities to keep adult content away from minors, and allows our bang events to continue within Jcink’s terms of service. (Also it gets rid of ads, which is swell.)

So here’s the point: we are humbly asking for any donations to our Ko-fi page to help keep Grigori Wings running. If you like Resbang (and Reverb!) and the content that the fandom pours out every year, and like what the mods do to organize it all, please consider tossing a couple of bucks at our Ko-fi! It will go a long way towards keeping this challenge afloat.

Thank you, fandom, for making us as strong as we are every year!

Sincerely,

-The ModBorg

This is stupid buuuttttt I’ve been reading your docs since forever ago and I keep hearing….what is Resbang?

resbang is the short name for Soul Eater Resonance Bang, which is the fandom’s big bang event. tl;dr fic authors sign up to write a fic, artists sign up to make fanart of those fics, and betas sign up to help critique/edit what the authors and artists make. everyone has a deadline. it’s a yearly thing.

you can find more info over at the resbangmod blog, where there’s a lot of info in the sidebar for your perusal

[Twenty-Something Does Not Care]

fanmix and stream for @kittenintheden​‘s 2016 resbang: Macabre Records

There’s one last summer before the employees of Macabre Records scatter to the four winds and everything’s going sideways. Their beloved record store has a dark cloud hanging over it called Gorgon Sisters Music – the owners aren’t just poaching their customers, they’re also pressuring Kid to sell his dad’s shop. The morning starts out badly when Black Star gambles away a desperately-needed chunk of the store’s cash, and things go downhill from there. But it’s Ragnorak Day, and the crew knows if they don’t make it the best damn day possible, they’ll regret it forever.

Rating: M
Pairings: Kim/Jacqueline, Soul/Maka, Kid/Crona, Tsubaki/Liz
Warnings: underage drinking, alcohol abuse/alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, language, sexual content

Read the fic here: [ao3]

Listen to the mix here: (warning! some songs NSFW)

8tracks – runtime approx 1hr, 25 minutes

free stream – tune in all day, February 7th, 2017! I’ll be streaming this playlist on repeat for your listening pleasure because 8tracks can eat my ass! =D  Feel free to drop in and listen to the station.

mediafire – alternatively, enjoy the music on your own time with this complimentary download. I’ve turned making m3u playlists and tagging metadata into a science, please take these tunes so my tears of blood aren’t for naught.

{art and tracklist} were created in Photoshop CS6, as usual. i’m a one-trick pony


LISTEN UP Y’ALL, this fic is both hilarious and cute and still touches on some serious business. It is definitely worth your time, though I shouldn’t have to be tellin you this because we all know kitden is a solid author. 

As for the mix, I’ve been listening to it almost every day since I made it in, what, November? It’s bouncy, it’s got mouthy guitars, lots of sing-a-longs, and stuff from the 90′s clear through to new Indie shit you may not have heard of. It’s a drive with the windows down kinda mix. 

Special thanks to kitden for some of the song suggestions, too! This is probably one of my more favorite mixes I’ve had the pleasure to make.

ALSO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC THAT @thesockswhowearsfox​ MADE!! We can’t have an Empire Records AU without some original tunes, man. [HONK]

Pell Grant Matrimony

Mama wants an update of Maka’s life, but there’s a severe lack of anything interesting to report. She’s stuck in an eternal rut, and the only excitement in her life is her steadily disappearing underwear.

Thankfully, her cute neighbor gets her in touch with the panty-stealing culprit. Soul is sometimes evasive and secretive, though he makes up for it by showing her what it’s like to have fun on a regular basis. Just as Maka thinks she has exciting news to report to Mama, Soul turns out to be hiding more than exotic pets in the bathroom. The fake-married, secret dating AU you didn’t ask for.

Pairings: endgame Soul/Maka, DTK/Black*Star; various implied
Rating: R for drug use/mention
Warnings: language, recreational drug use, illegal pets, Black*Star’s mooseknuckle

What do you get when you take tumblr shitposts and rub in your need to read something lighthearted? Maybe something like this, we don’t actually know.

Look we did a resbang! @sojustifiable​ and I collaborated on this trainwreck that mostly started out as a joke and …well, still ended as one, but we got invested in ways we did not expect, and we hope you do too?

BLESS OUR ARTISTS:

@adorabbey : [she made nail art, custom cocktails, and the best cross stitch any home could ask for]

@tilliquoi : [she made Superstar Wes, derps at a mailbox, and the true hero of the story, Snappy

AND THANKS TO EVERYONE ON OUR DISCORD SERVER: @adulterclavis, @victoriapyrrhi, @fabulousanima, @darkpurply, and @rebornfromash

Special thanks to my fellow mods, the resbang discord server, tumblr, and really just fandom as a whole. We couldn’t have done this without you.

[Special-special thanks to @sojustifiable: she wrote 99.9% of this, for one, and for two, thanks babe. You helped me get through some tough shit, even if you might not have known it. 😛 ]
