#I literally was just kinda in the mood to vibe to country music I listened to growing up

[cherry-pop-elf]

I saw you say that you like Raver/Scenecore music, and it has me wondering if you have any thoughts for George and Fred (or even just the rest of the Weasleys too) for what sort of music they'd like?

Ooooo!!! Good ask good ask! I love music so much, and even studying piano right now! My final recital song is even Wizard Wheezes! ((My special interest is Weasleys, what can I say?)) So this is a super amazing and awesome ask! Thank you so much anon! I love love love love music!!!!!

Types Of Music The Weasley Siblings Listen To

William ‘Bill’

Bill is very much a Rock person. You’ll hear him listening to Ghost, Three Day Grace, My Chemical Romance, the classics like that. Just different types of Rock in general. Pop Rock, Rock and Roll, etc. Even go as far as to play an electric guitar. How did he manage to? I mean, magic. Who says you need to plug it in anywhere, when you can just produce magic itself to work it? Loves Alternative Rock Music. Favorite song? Gotta go with a classic like Mary On A Cross

Charlie

Of course he loves punk, and alternative, but he did mellow out a bit when he finally settled into his job. Playing softer music for the new born dragons made him come to love softer songs. Like jazz, country, and folk. So to kinda wrap it all together, he’s a Taylor Swift fan. He’s not a swiftie, but he does enjoy her music. He also loves to play guitar, many kinds, and even knows how to play the flute. Thanks to Hagrid. Playing the guitar, or flute, for the baby dragons is a passion time he wouldn’t trade for anything. Favorite song? 100% Taylor’s ‘No Body No Crime’ for sure

Percy

100% is the type to believe in the Mozart Theory. He listens to classical musics constantly. Such a nerd. Genuinely though, he does enjoy it. It helps him study and focus. So if you were to introduce him to the genre of lofi? He really would like it. Soft wordless music to play in the background, as he works. So he would be such a Stan for The Lofi Girl, if he was to say if he has a favorite anything

Fred And George

Big Band, Jazz, Swing, Techno Swing, they LOVE that high energy bop music. I mean, look at what their literal shops theme song is ((Fun fact, as I am writing this I am ACTUALLY playing Wizard Wheezes on the piano right now, for a recital!)) They gotta love that high energy music. Love it love it love it. Fred and George go nuts for Fully Dressed With Out A Smile. They also will break into Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better if given the chance. They especially loved singing that with Ginny, while growing up

Ron

He was invested in Rock, of course. The side effects of being a younger sibling to a big family, but Hermione helped him explore other interests as well. Helped him be more brave in what he liked. He does love Rock styles, but Pop Rock was more his branch. Pop just has a more fun energy to it. Different from his day to day life. Helps him stand out a little as well, since Bill is more into the alternative/emo/goth aesthetic types or Rock. One Republics ‘Run’ speaks to him a lot. Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but he also really likes Sk8ter Boy. Because it makes him think of Hermione. Shhhhh

Ginny

Musicals. She just can’t pick a genere. Growing up with six brothers gave her a love of different types of music. So if you ask her what she likes, she will say musicals. Musicals have so many types and moods. It’s perfect for whenever you don’t know what to listen do. In a romantic mood? High energy? Even depressive gothic? There’s a musical for it. She’s learned to keep her mind open, and invest in different interests. Her favorite song really depends on the mood she’s in, or vibe. But if you had to twist her arm, it’s gonna be that classic Merry Poppins Step In Time. It reminds her of her brothers, whenever they had to do spring cleaning together. If she’s sad, that song will ALWAYS make her feel better. If not? Clearly a imposter!

Bonus: Belladonna

Fun fact about me! I am currently learning piano! I just love music so much. Piano is also good for me health wise, because I have dexterity issues because of my muscle spasms. I’m practicing a recital song, and it’s Wizard Wheezes. Which I’ll perform as my final. I hope to post it on tumblr in the future. As for music I like? Scene/Ravecore and Techno Swing. I guess I just love high energy songs with electric vibes. Ironic, given I have chronic fatigue. Along with, ya know, trapped in a wheelchair. Slay. Thank you again anon! I love music so much, and I am forever grateful I have hearing to enjoy it. A really great ask!!!

idk much to ask about for hcs, but what genre of music do you think each of the main 4 likes (and craig's gang if u wanna)? :D

it took me a bit to get to this bc this question means so much to me you dont understand . ANWAYS

stan: ...very generic answer but like. midwest emo. dad rock. and like.. emo / pop rock too??? he could rock w/ some fall out boy, but not like patd cuz its too theatre kidsy. and OBVIOUSLY the front bottoms and alex g and modern baseball!! if we learned anything in band in china its that he very much treats music like an outlet for his emotions. and on that note he listens to metal too, but mostly when he is mentally at his worse.

kyle: i dont think i could pin him down to one genre, he's a big music guy but stays within the constraints of "music with authenticity but not to the point that it makes him look pathetic". so he's not listening to the front bottoms like stan is because that's just.. TOO raw, and hes caught up in the "lack of music conventions" in stan's music taste (he doesn't know a thing about music theory so he'll get pissed if you ask why). at the same time like kyle would NOT be into overproduced shit you hear on the radio u feel me. he curates his spotify playlist moods well, new wave/folk/indie rock/r&b at his neutral state and hip hop/punk/harder rock when at his other neutral state (pissed off). he doesn't listen to music when he's sad he just sits there in silence with a thousand yard stare

cartman: once again, expected answer, but he's a bubblegum pop girlie, so like britney spears/lady gaga/justin timberlake/beyonce OBVIOUSLY!!! he also likes hyperpop but the types that lean more into the "pop" part than the "hyper" part like charli xcx and carly rae jepsen. he hates listening to anything that isnt fun and stan and kyle dont like anything too fun so every road trip where they pass the aux across the group is a warzone

kenny: quite literally will listen to anything and everything. falls into the industrial pop / electropop scene frequently because he loves that it all sounds very New! he is a very social individual so he's most likely to put on what will get a rise out of his friends, he puts on 100 gecs and nine inch nails everytime he gets the aux because they bitch about it the entire time. its funny. he prefers to have noise on 24/7 and will even listen to pop country if it means unlocking new emotions

butters: will also listen to anything but to a worse degree. kenny has a rationale for what he listens to and why he enjoys it but butters just hears a song and decides its the best thing he's heard in his life. he's well versed in the girlypop scene through cartman but he also thinks that ajr is genuinely #deep. you know those overproduced songs that sound like they'd be in old navy commercials??? yeah. butters would listen to that shit.

but also worth mentioning hes not really a music person like he doesnt have spotify and most of what he listens to is through his friends

craig: just straight up does not listen to music. he doesnt hate it but there is no urge and he is DEEPLY noise sensitive, and a lot of music is unpredictable. more likely to put on a tv show he's already seen 437587354 times if he needs sound in the background.

clyde: college frat bro vibes like hes into really fake diluted edm like chainsmokers and calvin harris kinda bullshit. he is NOT a music guy and just searches "top hits" and listens to whatever spotify spits at him.

tolkien: another will-listen-to-mostly-anything soldier! he's most accustomed to stuff his parents play around him, so a lot of 60s rock, blues, jazz, swing, shit like that. he's a mild-tempered guy with a mild-tempered taste in music, he'll go crazy for a good guitar solo/bassline like jimi hendrix. because of that he's offput by anything too loud or raunchy like kenny's music but he's desperate to fit in with his peers so he makes it work

jimmy: not very notable because i think he has generic music enjoyment however i do think he's one of weird al yankovic's top streamers on spotify. he and kenny team up to create the worst queue at the house party. he's the one tossing in witch doctor and crazy frog

tweek (just for fun): is very scared of lyrical music trying to communicate Themes and Ideas to him so he listens to car crash sfx type a beats just to get the demons out

wendy (also for fun): dykezilla who listens to laufey and phoebe bridgers and beabadoobee. what can i say.

#asks #THANK YOU ANON............. I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MUSIC

green emoji asks 🦖🌴🥝? c:

🦖 - what’s your favorite dinosaur?

as a kid I loved any of the ones with really long necks because I loved going to the natural history museum and being in one of the biggest rooms I'd ever seen and there being a GUY whose NECK took up practically the whole length of it all on its own

as an adult, I have a little dino carved from some kind of rock that I keep on my bookcase which I choose to believe is like a low-res stegosaurus even tho the ridges on its back are not individually marked & that specific (vaguely defined) dude is my favorite dinosaur

🌴 - what’s your dream vacation?

Hmm, I don't really feel like I have one? There are plenty of places I know I'd like to go if I ever get the chance but in my mind calling something a dream vacation implies a bit more of a plan than that. (I think that's bc I'm not very good at the whole relax & do nothing kind of vacation - if I'm going somewhere I really feel like I've gotta research all the details before to make sure I'm doing & seeing enough that it's not a waste of time or money. But that includes taking into account seasonal/temporary events/shows/exhibits, and I don't bother looking into those things unless I know I have an opportunity to follow through on them coming up soon, which hasn't been the case for a while now)

But if I stop being fussy about the fact that I'm not actually dreaming about a specific itinerary for five seconds, then the answer's definitely Scotland. Of all the places I want to see, it's got the worst ratio of minutes I've spent in the country (being zero) to number of things I want to see there, from whole cities and areas down to individual museums, historical sites, places relatives came from, national parks, and even distilleries. But it's also way too much to fit into one trip, so I think of wanting to go there as less of a specific vacation than other things I want to do less badly but can at least conceive of more clearly - like saying that in the fall, I hope to visit a relative's house in the mountains and spend a few days in a little town with a nice cider mill.

🥝 - what’s your music taste like?

A mess! Really, I'm so bad at putting music in categories. My main playlist is literally called What's a Genre - and it's 90% Irish & Scottish bands (though even saying that feels misleadingly homogeneous, since I can count everyone from the Dubliners to Hozier & the Tannahill Weavers to the Proclaimers that way) but there's also other things that kinda maybe fit there, like The Amazing Devil (and Robert Hallow & the Holy Men? does anyone know if they still exist?) and The Decemberists, and then ones that even I know don't belong there, like ELO and MCR. And that's just the one playlist. If I'm working from home, my go-to is Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald & co for some reason. When it comes to decades, I tend to favor 60s pop (or is it rock? I'm not sure I know the difference), and I'd take the Kinks over the Beatles - but I also keep them on a playlist with ABBA, David Bowie, Queen, and They Might Be Giants (which is mainly for both cleaning & hanging out with friends). I also still own & regularly listen to a lot of music from different genres whose only unifying factor is 'was actively on the radio when i was in middle school.' And I'd be lying to make myself sound cooler if I didn't also admit that I have a pretty sizable library of cast albums & show tunes, which I'll also shuffle through like any other playlist. The last album I bought was Skerryvore's Tempus that came out last week, the only concert I've been to as neither a friend nor a worker was Billy Joel. I think the Waterboys might be my most 'any context, any mood' safe to put on in the background to vibe with w/o getting distracted, especially Fisherman's Blues. When I'm not looking to listen to something very specific, the only deterrent from putting my entire library on shuffle is the fact that random Big Finish audio tracks will play if I do that.

So I think the friends who've called it 'eclectic' were being generous, but I also don't have any better descriptors to offer up.

#thanks for the ask! #sorry about the length as usual #i feel like i dont get enough flack for how poorly organized i keep my music so i wanted to be v honest #and while my main playlist does include a bunch of stuff not in english #it's just there bc i like it at this point #especially since the gaelic very much outnumbers the irish so i'd get very confused very quickly if i leaned on music to like #actively teach me anything #it's more that i'll be listening to a song i've known for ages #and just suddenly realize i recognize more of the grammar or vocab than i used to

[writer-or-whatever]

did i accidentally make a 5hr playlist of country music, thus rekindling my love of the genre?

maybe so

#I literally was just kinda in the mood to vibe to country music I listened to growing up #(rural midwestern kids represent am I right. it’s all country all the time babey) #and now I’m like country music? is good? #granted 85% of it is pre 2000s and the other 15% is all pre 2012 or so #I know like one newer (in the last eight ish years) country song #rose speaks #music

[mishkakagehishka]

Hey there, I want to get into BTS but I don't really know where to start. Any advice?

Oh, hi! I'd like to say you came to the right person. I tried to keep this as succinct and simple as possible, so I won't be mentioning stuff like names and going in-depth about their discography, but I'll give you some of my recommendations for songs to listen to if you want to get into their music.

The thing about BTS is that they're very genre-diverse, so you'll probably find a song you like no matter what you usually listen to. The only genre they haven't done yet are the more obscure ones and, like, country. They started with hip-hop, and most of their songs are subgenres of that, but they've been experimenting with genres since around 2016ish? My recommendation for a start would be the songs that are the most popular with the general public (songs like Spring Day, a pop-rock kinda ballad, Blood Sweat & Tears, an EDM track, DNA, an EDM love song, or an all-english and recent single like Dynamite). But if we go by genre, I'd recommend Boy With Luv for pop, So What for EDM (a real "jump around and dance" kinda song if you'll take my opinion), Rain for R&B, The Truth Untold for ballads, Dionysus for that wild rock vibe, and UGH! for rap/hip-hop, though I should say that most of their songs feature rap, as 3/7 members are rappers. All of these are group songs except for The Truth Untold and UGH!, with the former being a song by the four vocalists, and the latter by the three rappers.

If you're just starting, you likely won't care too much about lyrics, but, if you like meaningful lyrics in your music, I can also recommend N.O (one of their early hip-hop tracks, this one might not resonate with you if you're past a certain age, but, at 18, I still sympathise with the idea of society kinda raising young folks to abandon their dreams for the sake of practicality and the only achievements that matter being related to education and well-paying jobs, and I do always like recommending the early tracks because I feel like they sort of set the mood/expectations), Black Swan (about losing your passion, I linked the art video because it's the chamber-pop-y classical instruments version, just to give an extra genre, though the version available on Spotify and the likes is emo hip-hop/trap), Paradise (it's okay to not have a specific dream and to just live life for the sake of living life), Silver Spoon (the generation gap, the lyrics reference crow-tits and storks because of the saying, "If a crow-tit tries to walk like a stork, it'll break its legs") and Intro: Never Mind (a solo by one of the rappers and a personal fave so I had to mention it, about not being afraid of failure and trying again). Songs I mentioned in the first paragraph that also have read-worthy lyrics are Spring Day (missing and wanting to see an old friend), So What (not caring about others' opinions and letting go of your worries) and UGH! (the values and harms of anger, especially righteous anger vs anger for anger's sake)

I only linked lyrics videos for the second group of songs, but all the music videos I linked have English subtitles via the closed captioning (which is why I didn't link Spring Day twice, but did UGH! and So What). If my recommendations are a bit too complicated, though, I can also give you this flowchart that was pretty popular on twitter back when I was still there.

It has a lot more songs and includes the Japanese and SoundCloud discography as well as the solo projects, so it's more complex, but it gives "starting songs" and recommendations based on which ones you liked, and it helped me recommend songs to people before, so it might help again.

In any case, if you have any questions or something, feel free to DM me or send another ask, I'd be happy to help, considering BTS are literally my fave music artists :D

#i feel like it's good to ask me but also bad to ask me bc i can't give simple answers so it's like #i feel like i rec'd too many songs. well you can always just sc and go 'oh i could listen to one today' or smth like that #anyway enjoy! #bts #asks

my eurovision top 39 songs (finally)

anyway i finally got my top 39 completed. under a read more because it can get kinda long with the commentary i added klfdja;sflk (and by that i mean VERY long, maybe a wall of text if i have a lot to say about the song.)

none of this takes rehearsals into account.

basically, 39-37 i don't like, 36-35 are meh, 34-25 are decent, 24-18 are good, 17-12 i enjoy listening to a lot, 11-4 i love, and I would pay for votes for top 3 if i could.

39. Azerbaijan - Efendi - Mata Hari - Honestly, I kinda want to like this song. The instrumentation is nice, especially with the Azeri instruments. Efendi's vocals are ok during the verses. However, her vocals during the MA-MA-MA-MATA HARI part makes this song utterly unlistenable for me. It is just so distracting and ear-grating. Not great for my sensitive ears. And that is without taking anything else into account.

38. Estonia - Uku Suviste - The Lucky One - For some reason reminds me of a boring modern country song. Bland af. At least the melody of the chorus is nice.

37. Cyprus - Elena Tsagrinou - El Diablo - Discount Lady Gaga at the best points of this song. Feels like three songs at once. Also, the lyrics seem like they just went all "What Spanish-sounding words sound spicy? Taco? Tamale? Mamacita?" As a Spanish speaker and as someone of Mexican descent who enjoys those foods, this annoys the living shit out of me. At least I can make El Diablo/Fallen Angel memes out of this. (Honestly, I don't mind the gratuitous Spanish with the words El Diablo.) Also, this song got real old real quick.

36. Slovenia - Ana Soklič - Amen - The gospel vibe is nice, but there is just too much Christianity in it for me to enjoy this song. Sorry, Ana.

35. Moldova - Natalia Gordienko - Sugar - Sounds like a sugary version of Siren Song by MARUV. Kinda boring, but enjoyable in the right circumstances.

34. Georgia - Tornike Kipiani - You - Good to listen to when mind feels blank. At first I kinda liked this song, but nowadays this song has lost its charm. This won't sound out of place alongside boring 70s slow classic rock songs.

33. Austria - Vincent Bueno - Amen - Not something I would listen to regularly, but still nice. For me, easily the biggest downgrade from 2020.

32. Greece - Stefania - Last Dance - Pleasant to listen to, not much else.

31. Portugal - The Black Mamba - Love Is On My Side - Good song, but not my cup of tea. Unfortunately, some great songs have to be near the bottom of my ranking.

30. Germany - Jendrik - I Don't Feel Hate - A fun song to listen to. The novelty wears off after a while. The feel good vibes and ukulele are nice.

29. Israel - Eden Alene - Set Me Free - the song release version was bland and boring, but the revamp. Now THAT is good stuff. The song doesn't seem so empty anymore. I miss the key change from the original, though.

28. Spain - Blas Cantó - Voy A Quedarme - A very emotional and beautiful song from Spain. Again, not usually my cup of tea. However, the melody somehow gives me a nostalgic vibe.

27. North Macedonia - Vasil - Here I Stand - DAMN Vasil has a lovely voice. Nice that he's showing it off here. Too slow of a song for me to enjoy regularly, though.

26. Albania - Anxhela Peristeri - Karma - I don't have much to say other than this song is nice.

25. Bulgaria - VICTORIA - Growing Up Is Getting Old - Pleasant to listen to, but depending on my mood I think this is a beautiful song but not my cup of tea or a complete snoozefest.

24. Serbia - Hurricane - Loco Loco - Fun song, but it feels like something is lacking, and I can't quite put my finger on it.

23. San Marino - Senhit - Adrenalina - Once the initial hype from Flo Rida being on the song died down, this became another typical Eurovision bop.

22. Sweden - Tusse - Voices - At first I thought the song was completely unremarkable and couldn't understand how this won Melodifestivalen. Nowadays it's a nice song to chill to. I gotta respect a perfect televote score from the national final.

21. Ireland - Lesley Roy - MAPS - nice.

20. Croatia - Albina - Tick Tock - Grew on me slightly. Shoutout for including a verse in Croatian.

19. Switzerland - Gjon's Tears - Tout l'Univers - Another grower for me. Doesn't hit as hard as his song from last year, but I dig it.

18. France - Barbara Pravi - Voilà - Lovely chanson right here. I wish it didn't take forever to pick up, though. I was about to completely give up on this song in the middle of my first listen. I'm glad I didn't.

17. Belgium - Hooverphonic - The Wrong Place - Classy. Not much else to say.

16. Ukraine - Go-A - Shum - I'd definitely go rave to this song. I kept finding this song hard to rank due to the white voice. I couldn't decide if I absolutely adored it or if I found it grating. Maybe I just wasn't feeling well when I first thought about it.

15. Lithuania - The Roop - Discoteque - Lots of fun, doesn't have the charm that On Fire had last year. I would dance to this song.

14. Poland - RAFAŁ - The Ride - I actually kinda like this song???? Even with Rafal's vocals??? I know he has political controversies, but I can't help but think this song is nice. A better, less controversial singer would benefit this song, though. I'm not counting the revamp just yet since it was released too recently.

13. Latvia - Samanta Tīna - The Moon Is Rising - This song gives me nostalgic mid to late 2000s hip hop vibes. The guitars in this song are lovely.

12. Romania - ROXEN - Amnesia - Definitely something that can put me in a trance if I'm in the right mood.

11. Czechia - Benny Cristo - omaga - Nice, catchy, I would dance to this.

10. Malta - Destiny - Je Me Casse - Damn, Destiny has a lovely voice! And the song itself is wonderful. I'm not a fan of the amount of Swedish talent being used instead of Maltese talent, but I really do enjoy listening to this.

9. Denmark - Fyr og Flamme - Øve Os På Hinanden - another really fun song! This really grew on me. Nowadays if I want to listen to a Eurovision song, this is one of the first songs I think of.

8. The Netherlands - Jeangu Macrooy - Birth of a New Age - I can vibe with this. You can hear the passion in this song. I wish I could let my body do the talking right now, but y'all can't see that with just a tumblr text post.

7. Russia - Manizha - Russian Woman - I was NOT expecting this to come out of Russia when it won the national final. I wasn't expecting to like this either. The message is great, the instrumental is great, everything about this is brilliant.

6. United Kingdom - James Newman - Embers - A funky song. I LOVE James's voice. Massive upgrade from last year in my opinion. I'm a sucker for brass in an upbeat song. Unfortunately, I have had the staging kinda spoiled and I am VERY skeptical about this coming out of bottom five. I'm done with the BBC.

5. Australia - Montaigne - Technicolour - There is a Lot happening in this song and I am all in for it. I'm kinda terrible at parsing lyrics, but it's a non-issue when I can follow Montaigne's voice and forget about the lyrics. Ironically enough, it's Montaigne's voice that also worries me this Eurovision season - mostly whether she was able to pull off her live on tape performance off.

4. Iceland - Daði og Gagnamagnið - 10 Years - I didn't think Daði could pull it off against this year, but he did it. I like this just a little more than Think About Things, which was my favorite song last year. I'm still a little gutted that this pandemic robbed him of a probable victory, but I've made peace with it. I still need to learn the dance moves, though.

3. Italy - Måneskin - Zitti E Buoni - FUCK YEAH A KICKASS ROCK SONG IN EUROVISION! This song gave me massive rock en español vibes on my fist listen, and honestly this is something I would bang my head to if I had the same body I did when I was 15.

2. Norway - TIX - Fallen Angel - I was not expecting to like this song much, let alone becoming THIS obsessed with TIX. In fact, he wasn't even on my radar for winning MGP. I listened to Ut Av Mørket for the first time and thought something like 'this is boring af, but at least it's in Norwegian'. And then he changed it to English, which I wasn't a fan of at first. And then one day the lyrics clicked - especially with my own struggles with mental illness. To this day this is one of only two Eurovision songs to actually make me cry. Even now he still isn't my MGP winner (that honor goes to JORN), but he has definitely won my heart.

1. Finland - Blind Channel - Dark Side - To say that this song kicks ass would be an understatement for me. This song has just the right mix of rock, pop, and even metal. Ever since I found out that this song would be in the national final, I knew that it would be my favorite this whole Eurovision season regardless of who won UMK. Yes, my jaw dropped when I saw the lead Blind Channel had in UMK. I literally cancelled my plans to watch the MGP final live because of these guys. I am not disappointed. Even Måneskin couldn't bring these guys down in my ranking. And while the lyrics might be a bit iffy, they did get me through rough times. I hope these guys are able to bring rock music back like they want to. But for now, I will give them my (useless tbh) douze points.

#eurovision #esc #this post took me two days #and even longer to actually rank everything #mostly because half the time i couldn't decide which song i liked more #so something gerbear's sorter couldn't help with #i'm tired rn #of course my top 3 is predictable

[neo-shitty]

toffee!

ah yeah, i think quarentine has given people some opportunity to actually just sit with the person they are, rather than be rushing around for the person they want to become. its good you got smth good out of isolation! ah thats great! hope you had fun and ur partner in crime speeds back home so you can get out more hehe.

ah yeah ty, good suggestions.

hmm good point, i was sort of putting it separate to the whole not-sexualising thing, but yeah. mmm yeah i totally agree, some of the enhypen fics/imagines *shudder* and even reading innie stuff is just a bit *icky* cos everyone still thinks of him as our agi ppang. yeah def would be good but sadly this just seems to be the world we live in. :(

ah yes the holy masterlist (not sarc) i have actually read in the rain and gladius maximus before, but ill go look for in class! oooh thats good! character development lol. hmmmm yes champagne problems was the angst to end all angst, that shit hurt. it was actually one of the first of your fics i read and i recall almost crying over the whole thing, it was so heartbreaking, i can see how it almost made you want to drop angst. good that youve allowed yourself some lee-way tho :)

hehe thats so cool. okay here we go, ill try not to be mortally offended (/hj)

cheese - yes same, i liked it but that was all there was, it wasnt a super standout track. it was rlly underwhelming for me but some of the hook is super catchy so there is Redemption (tm) in store for cheese maybe

thunderous - mmm, yeah at first i totally agreed, i think they suffer from too much good music syndrome, that all their other tracks are such fucking bops its hard to stay at that level of perfection. the choreo was beautiful tho and tbh, the track has grown on me since ive been watching all the vids abt it. its my brothers favourite track

domino - YES GODAMMIT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TITLE TRACK. the raps, the vocals, the vibes, the fucking domino sound in the back? i would have streamed that shit on repeat. but tbh, as good as it is, it doesnt have that sort of grandness/oomph that skz seems to like in their title tracks so i can see why they chose thunderous (tho domino would have been so good) *sigh*

ssick - yeah same, not my fave track by a long mile, the crowd cheering was a ?strange? choice and the chorus was a bit bare/empty, plus like i mentioned earlier, it was kinda funny to me for some reason but ill still play it if im playing thru the whole album

the view - ahh one of those not like other girls (/j) i honestly think its just a good party song, just a bop to play in the background when nobodys rlly paying much attention. its pretty generic pop music but catchy

sorry, i love you - hehe yeah i thought it was going to be sadder as well, but i rlly loved the fact that they all just got to sing, which almost never happens, i dont think ive heard felix sing for a long time, so i enjoyed it. wasnt rlly a standout track but i just casually like it. looking forward to the fic haha

silent cry - this song i swear, some bits are rlly good and then others are just? why?? it does sound like a dance song tho idk. definitely not one of my faves either

secret secret - YES its so good! its such a chill song and i love their vocals in it. the combination of lo-fi/fake strings backup stuff and their heavenly vocals just makes it *chefs kiss* im listening to it rn and just... its so beautiful. it gives me pumped up another day vibes ya know? like my pace is edgy get cool, this one is energetic another day i feel like. overall i love it

STAR LOST - ah thats so cool! i didnt know that! on first listen this song had a similar vibe to secret secret but then the beat came in and ahh its such a good song. i can totally imagine them putting this song to a concert footage vid, this song is so sweet.

red lights - LMAO YES ITS SO AWKWARD WHY DOES IT GO ON FOR SO LONG ah thats good! yeah good point, its quite intense hehe. but that is my fave trope and this is lowkey my favourite track on the album so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just the combination of hyunjins and chans voices, the backing music, the lyrics ahh red lights my beloved

surfin’ - yes lmao its always a shock, i feel like they should have put gone away in between them, but its such a fun cute song, i cant get rlly mad. yeah, as an aussie i think im contractually obligated to like beaches lol. sand im not such a fan of, but my familys rlly into fishing and my brother loves bodyboarding so we stay at a beach house at least twice a year and we live like 5 mins from 3 different beaches (hehe all aussie cities are on the coast lol) so thats cool. do you like beaches?

gone away - ah gone away my beloved, i love this song sm, its just so pure and showcases their vocals and lyrics so well. yes the pitch change is very out of the blue, i feel liek they went directly from seungmins soft vocals to hans powerful ones which was an interesting choice, but hey, im not complaining

wolfgang - YES IKR ah im so happy he got to be included in that era and song. yeah its such a full on song i cant rlly listen to it if im in a quiet mood but its very motivating :)

hehe mood, i hope they do! ahhh no rest, but at least you wont have to pull a blink and wait a year for any word from the group lol. im not rlly into nct but im excited for them! ah hopefully youll be able to sneak some rest into that chaotic schedule, with enhypen (idk if u stan but yeah) squeezed into it haha

<3 w.a. 🐺

i wheezed at partner in crime, it reminded me of smth. i have a lee know fic in the drafts that i wrote 'in honor' of him (and his departure-ish). i'll tag you when i finish it, if you want. it's a rather hilarious one.

oh my god. based on my experience on the collabs i've joined before, writing explicit shit for '01 & '02 is not accepted (nct's maknaes) but with enha's hyung line '01 & '02 somehow it's okay? i do a double take every time i see fics like those i mean, technically, it's legal but still what the fuck. maybe it's just not for me at the moment. not at us venting our frustration about this. it's just something that's so accepted here that i am (in all honesty) slightly uncomfortable about. but oh well. that's kpop writerblr for you.

man i could've linked all the fics in the ask instead so you wouldn't have to go looking for them! i think i saw you like in class the other day (the fic i renamed into sharp-tongued, god it took me a while to remember the new title). describing champagne problems as an angst to end all angst is one way to put what i was feeling back in december. it just hurt to write and admit?? if that ever happened to me i would prolly cry :d

okay back to the album talk! i love how you answered with more thoughts. i love exchanges like these! i am a victim of the cheese hook and it's now one of my favorite tracks in the album. PLS, TOO MUCH GOOD MUSIC SYNDROME. that's on our self-producing kings 😌💅 also, your brother has taste! as i am typing this, domino's currently playing in my head and i realized that too, that it doesn't have that 'vibe' of a skz title track. honestly, this could be a title track of another group. ssick is starting to grown on me because i found the beats cool kdjsk not the not like other girls 😭 the view is the generic pop that i don't like but i get why a lot of people enjoy it. sorry i love you scratches a certain itch that i find myself singing the first few lines every time i remember it. i too would want to hear felix sing more!

> a mini junction on the album talk bc i got side tracked. on that topic, i want skz to switch positions at some point like i know those allrounders are capable of doing so. specifically, i want to hear seungmin rap!!!! (yk in the recent weekly idol he talked faster than changbin in a challenge and changbin is like the fastest rapper in kpop that's active atm if im not mistaken. my dandy boy has some potential and i want it UNLEASHED.)

back to album talk. silent cry is basically sad music to twerk to. secret secret is definitely one of my favorite tracks :( i loved how you compared the tracks HAJSAH i burst out laughing bc yk what, you're right! i want to make a star lost edit of skz but i simply do not have the time i want to cry. i love the song so much. ok, my dreaded track, red lights. idt i have played the track since we last talked. my friend sent me the lyrics tho and i'm itching to write a twisted au out of it. idk if you're comfortable with yandere but somewhere along those themes. the obsessive type of love that's sweet at first but turns rotten. IMAGINE IF THEY PUT GONE AWAY BETWEEN ASHJA it's like going from 50 shades to the notebook.

i was about to ask if you lived near the coast and you literally mentions it here god im so stupid. yes i LOOOOOOOOOVE beaches so much. living in an archipelago is fun :( i live in a part of the country that's more island than city so every time i want some vitamin sea it's accessible. i heard the waves in australia are great :( anYWHOOO gone away :(( every time it plays im compelled to skip it because it makes me sAD AND NOWADAYS I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO BE SAD. contrary to you, i dislike my quiet moods because i tend to overthink a lot.

i have this little analogy about how there are stays that enjoy songs the generic pop + mellow songs and then there are other stays that enjoy the noisy tracks. in my mind, it's like a perfect balance that makes me feel like all the tracks are loved in the end. just by different people.

PULL A BLINK. bro i fucking hate yg entertainment. they have the biggest kpop girl group LOCKED in their basement when they could be (and i mean this in the most business-like way not morally) milking money of the quad. they're yg's biggest hope at not being bankrupt atm so it's a damn fucking mystery to me as to how they aren't doing anything. (jk i just realized lisa solo album soon, but i still need a ot4 cb hELLO)

i stopped looking forward to the teasers. rest > kpop boys. i don't want to sound like a cult member but have you tried checking out nct? are they just not your thing? (i get it tho, that's one hard group to get into). and yes i do stan enhypen!

wow i love how long these asks are! they're like online penpals. but i also want to ask about you! how have you been lately? are you feeling okay both mentally and physically? how's the weather there? do you have anything that you want to talk about? maybe an interesting book you read? feel free to bring up anything you want to share! i'm getting conscious about talking about myself HAJHSJ

and yet another long answer B) i am sooo sorry T___T should these ask exchanges feel draining to you, feel free to stop sending them in AAAA

Hello sweetheart ❤

I'm here again 👋🏼

I would love to request class matchup for my hero academia

I prefer Male matchup i'm girl [ straight ]

my height is 160CM I'm in the chubby side .

I have dark brown eyes they are almost black i have 5 beauty marks in my face small two under each of my eyes and big one between my nose and my upper lip .

I have one dimple, even with the tip of my lips, on the right side of my face, appears with the smallest expression

i wear big black farame glasses.

my hair is black 3B curly type and it's on the long side.

I'm an INFP-T personality types. hufflepuff

my sun sign is aries , moon virgo and rising libra .

I'm an only girl between 4 boys so I'm kinda spoiled kid .

I have mood swings but it's under control most of the time .

I have a childish personality most the time and Sometimes I act like a mature person , mostly lazing around and careless but i can also be a responsible and dependent person .

I get scared easily but i don't show it excited for the very close people to me because of that some people think I'm brave they are so wrong.

I'm clumsy person , my father saved my life a lot and always hold my hand when we are out together because I may spaces out in the middle of cutting the road.

i have a bad sense in directions i get lost a lot in my life and scared everyone in family so now they make sure I know where I'm going .

sometimes i really don't know what going around me and understand the subject late and it will be so late to open that subject again so I just imagine a 100 scenario about re-opening that subject.

To others I might appear cocky and ostentatious person but I am shy , quiet and awkward when meeting new people and i don't know how to respond.

but I changed completely when I'm comfortable with someone i act without thinking and talk a lot Literally about everything happen or anything I see .

Simply I turn to annoying human being .

I somehow can adjust to the people around me like my brothers used to call me nickname on purpose to make me angry but now I do anger them and call them by nicknames on purpose because they starts the game and I will continue playing it.

I think i was the person how hold my friends group because when my family moved to different country my friends go on different directions they all stayed my friends but they are not friends Anymore and that really make me very sad .

I'm now most of the time happy and chill person it's not easy to anger me .

When I get angry with someone they know they are in big trouble.

In some cases i turn to salty bitch like when someone harmed a close friend of mine or a family member i will eat that person alive because how dare they harm my people .

I love kids and I'm good at taking care of them so I'm the official babysitter for my cousins .

I speak 3 languages and I am about to learn the 4th one .

By the way I feel I'm not good at any one of the language I speak

The top two language i speak are Somalia and Arabic .

I'm bad at math if someone suddenly ask me 1+1 i will answer 0 but really good at all the other subjects math is my weakness.

In my life choices i follow my heart most often the times.

I like reading Romance novels , crime and mystery ones.

i love Baking, making sweets and eating them but I don't like cooking meals and I'm an decent chef because I start to cook a lot and my mom teaches me .

I'm addicted to coffee i drink at least two cups a day with all the coffee and start to fall for tea recently.

I really sleep a lot because I'm tired of socializing so i need to recharge my social battery.

most of my clothes are black and a little bit of different colors clothes

i don't use any makeup at because I think i don't look good with makeup all do is a simple skin care routine every few days.

i enjoy listening to music so much and I don't have a favorite type .

I playing playstation and mobile games but I'm slow player .

I shows my love and care by doing small things like making hot drink for someone in cold weather or buying small things i know the other person need and l like hugs a lot.

The most thing I hate about a person are lying even if it is a small lie in the eyes of the other person i will not accept it i value honest and truth a lot .

Also breaking a promise that literally will break my heart because I still remember an old promise my father made with me but he couldn't keep it .

I don't like people who try to manipulate me in any way or try to change my personality because I will accept everyone that way they are or i will leave them without harming them because everyone is precious .

Finally i don't like two face people how act nice in front of me or in front of someone else and they took bad about them in their back if someone told me bad things about other person i will immediately lose trust in that person .

this is what i have in mind now and I think i really talk a lot 😅

I hope I'm not bothering you here.

I will really enjoy reading what you will write

Thank you so much sweethearts

Have a wonderful time beautiful 🥰

I’m sending you to 1-B

Pls, as if Kendo didn’t have enough on her hands with Monoma, I can see her babysitting/tutoring you too because you have a tendency to zone out, get lost and stuff. You and Monoma have this odd vibe going on, where the two of you are completely different individuals but you always end up in the same space. Aka Kendou’s space, poor girl. It’s even worst because you probably can’t even STAND Monoma half of the time.

Other than that, you and the other 1-B girls are ADORABLE together, please most of you exude a Calm with a Feral Side Underneath vibe, and I think you guys all get really close together! A lot of helping goes around. You and Pony get close as friends because you both know the struggles of trying to handle multiple languages at once. SOLIDARITY. Everyone admires you two for being fluent in more languages but they don’t know the pain. You two vine hardcore together I SWEAR.

Pls you’re in such a tightly-knit group, I love the concept

#matchup #bnha #mha #bnha matchup #mha matchup #class 1b

zinc white; how are you really feeling today? no one-word answers please!

it’s just easy, u know? like no matter what we’re doing, even if we’re just vibing on our own together, it’s nice. I can tell them absolutely anything and it’s not weird and I don’t have to force it out at all

cadmium orange; what do you like to do on your days off?

ok first I always see if any of my friends are busy fkdjsfkj and if they aren’t I see if they wanna just chill or w/e but otherwise just like. turning some music up and sitting in my room with a book/a couple movies I love is ideal for me on a day off. I am very simple I just like to chill

orange lake; do you have anyone you can turn to when you’re sad?

yes! there are two whole people in this world that I spill absolutely everything to bc I trust them with my life and esp when I’m sad bc they always make me feel better. talking to them when I’m having A Day is like I vent and instantly I am normal again. they know who they are I’m sure but for transparency’s sake, it’s u (robin) and maya, no one else gets to unlock my tragic backstories <3

titans; do you prefer slow mornings or relaxing evenings? 

relaxing evenings!

red ochre; are you more right-brained (creative) or left-brained (analytical)?

I am very much more into creative endeavors, like work-wise, but I feel like the way I think about things is much more analytical. like I prefer Making things, writing or various crafts or what have u, but even when I create I think about the things I’m doing like analytically?? so ig left-brained

burnt sienna; is there a painting that brings you peace when you look at it? 

boy with squirrel by john singleton copley. I love him

english red; what animal do you relate to most?

interesting question! I have no idea. maybe birds? like a finch, maybe. they seem like they have fun

cadmium red; do you have a “type” when it comes to a significant other? 

this one is hard for me to answer bc like. I truly have no idea what a “type” is idk if that’s an ace thing or what. no? maybe? all the people I’ve had crushes on have been vastly different, in terms of like physical looks so probably not actually. I’m not attracted to muscular people tho bc I don’t think they have feelings <3

carmine; what does your ideal second date look like?

once again I have never pictured a date. I just want to hold hands! I think for the ideal first date question I said it just had to be going somewhere where we could Do things together, like walking around a museum or going through shops downtown or something, and that does still apply here, but for the sake of shaking it up, uhh...idk maybe staying in and watching a movie. like not at a theater no one needs to know my business like that but like. at a House. whoever’s, I’m not picky, again ideally I just want to hold hands.

madder lake red; would you ever kiss someone (or accept a kiss) on a first date?

yes. literally if the first thing u do is kiss me I am okay with it. I’m 23 someone just take the shot and kiss me already I’m going crazy over here

quinacridone rose; what’s something you’re really looking forward to? 

really looking forward to the holidays personally I got everyone some really good gifts this year and I can’t wait to hand them out. also my copy of 13 storeys is supposed to finally ship out this week, for real this time! so that’s exciting too

violet rose; what does your dream house look like? 

u know that idealized house with the yellow paint and the white trim? yes. just small and cute and homey

violet; is there any place in particular you’d like to settle down? 

I guess not?? I’d like to be somewhere near my mom bc she’s important to me but like. as long as I’m living with someone I love it doesn’t really matter where I don’t think

blue lake; what would you like to do/accomplish before you settle down?

uh. settling down to me equates to like falling in love and living together so honestly that could happen any time. I need to get a job before we live together so I can like Help Out but like. really any time

cobalt blue spectral; what is the most beautiful place you have ever been to?

I have not been to a lot of places! I’ve been to new york, and san diego, and like. phoenix outside of where I live so. actually if I can include like buildings in places I would like to say that one opera house I went to in new york. I learned I wasn’t a fan of operas BUT I also learned those chandeliers were cool as hell

ultramarine; when was the last time you were in a good mood? do you know/remember what sparked it?

I’m usually in a good mood, I think? my baseline mood is genuinely just like. happy/chill, pero I think the last time I felt Euphoria (tm) was a couple days ago when my mom and I made a really nice dinner together and my brother was there and we just played board games all night

blue; what’s the most recent dream you remember?

I have this recurring habit of waking up from dreams but only barely so when I fall back asleep it feels like I just woke up within the dream? anyway the last one was like that but in one of the times I ‘woke up’ I looked out the window and instead of outside there was like this. static photo of buffalo grazing in open fields?? and it was like green screened kinda, so when I move the image moved with my line of sight it was weird. that’s how I knew it was a dream and woke myself up again, only to immediately fall back asleep and feel like I was waking up from a dream within a dream again

bright blue; what does your dream family look like? any kids or pets? how many of each?

I think living with friends would be cool. like I want to have a significant other I live with but also if we lived with other friends that would be fun. kids, maybe! would be something I’d have to discuss with whatever partner I have in the future. if yes to kids, max two. also I don't want babies, preferably I would adopt older children. pets absolutely, however many doesn’t matter. I’m open to just living in a house with the love of my life and like twelve dogs, that’s ok with me

blue cobalt; do you like your name? would you give yourself a different name if you could?

I do like my name! I think it’s nice and it feels like it fits me. I don’t think I’d change it ever, but if I did I think maybe I’d go with jude bc yes I do love to project <3

prussian azure; what’s your favorite scent?

it’s a tie between suntan lotion and the lumber aisle of any hardware store

azure blue; what’s your favorite type of tea, if any?

vanilla rooibos tea supremacy!

turquoise blue; if you could start a garden, what would you plant?

lots of flowers, first of all. also some kitchen herbs. maybe some fruits!

cerulean blue; if you were guaranteed to have a viewership, would you start a youtube vlog?

yes <3 I want to force people to listen to my pretentious horror opinions and get paid for it

glauconite; describe your body without using any negative adjectives.

look I just have to say it: I’m hot. last night I took a photo and saw my nose from the side and went “omg who IS she” like it’s cute. I’M cute. I’ve seen my ass in the mirror and nothing can top it, sorry

yellow green; picture yourself walking in a field. what do you see & hear in this scenario?

all I’m getting is those scenes from horror movies where eerie whistling starts and like birds start going crazy

green light; are you in a comfortable place in life? if not, what do you think might make it better?

I think so?? I’d like to be more financially secure, pero. I think for the most part yeah I’m alright

green; name three countries you want to visit; do you have any actual plans in place to visit any of them?

ireland and greece for sure, ireland is the one I have most planned out in my head. ig maybe england for the third one, just bc I know my mom wants to go and also I’m very bad at geography so I don’t know what counts as a country. I had to look all these up, I do want to visit them tho, genuinely! esp ireland

emerald green; do you speak any languages besides english? are there any additional languages you want to learn?

the one I’m most fluent in is spanish! and I’m still cracking along at russian, currently I can hold a conversation with like a 4 year old and we can understand each other, it’s pretty cool. I really wanna get into learning irish!! I have a few resources downloaded onto my phone I just haven’t gotten around to it yet

[lesbian-hello-kitty]

I listen to

~Chremtrails Over The Country Club~

By my personal problematic fave, Lana Banana Bo Fana Del Ray

White dress:

the high-whispery notes at the beginning hurt

the lyrics are kinda cute

Score: 4/10 the intro killed it, not in a good way

Chremtrails Over The Country Club:

I like the little astrology bit

It feels very authentic to Lana, it makes me feel like its a mix of the sound of NFR and some of her unreleased stuff

Overall: 8/10

Tulsa Jesus Freak:

very victim of a cult vibes

i feel like im at the desert and im dying

HATE the autotune

off brand ultraviolence

6/10 still better than white dress

Let Me Love You Like A Woman:

okey why am i crying

yeah very gender role based but thats just part of lana's discography

9/10 going on the playlist ✨

Wild At Heart:

I too smoke cigarrettes

the melody reminds me of "hope is a dangerous thing" but that was one of my faves..... many thoughts

the rimes are kinda corny

7/10 cute enough

Dark But Just A Game:

Some parts of the instrumental sound like free of copyright music? like the kind you can get on youtube??

I like her vocals here

7/10

Not All Who Wander Are Lost:

Not all songs need the same vocal styling

cute enough for the playlist, but shes not the star of it at all

8/10 one of the ones i will be listening to again

Yosemite:

I don't hate it

Feels like it would fit the lfl album

5/10 heard it before and done better by lana herself

Breaking Up Slowly:

the instrumental doesnt suck

it being a colab makes it feel more fresh

not going on the playlist tho lol

6/10

Dance Till We Die:

what fucking ranch are we in? are we the cows?

won't stop making the same song till we die

what is that tempo change? wack

5/10 is not that is bad im just tired of the same song over and over

For Free:

how does lana manage to find people that sound so similar to her to colab with? and why does she think it will benefit the song?

the harmonies are nice, i enjoyed them

anticlimactic way to end an album 5/10

Final thoughts:

I hated this album, it felt like it was the same song over and over, didn't help that most of them were over 3 minutes. I missed lana's deeper notes and the rest of her range that she didnt use. The album felt cheap, especially the instrumental, a lot of the time Lana's songs feel like they could only belong to her, but a lot of this album felt generic, like the sound track to a sad romance movie, but like, a bad one.

I was listening to it before going to bed but now im in a bad mood, i'll be suing for emotional damages the album is a 4/10 because there are literally only 4 songs i'll willingly listen to <3

#lana del rey #long post #honey has opinions

[irregularjohnnywiggins]

So, hey, a while ago I came up with this ask game about songs I associate with Arthurian characters. I had a lot of fun with that, but really wanted it to be more streamlined, so I came up with this solution - a list of Arthurian characters and the songs I associate with them.

Now, before we get into the list proper, I need to establish some things, the main one being that these song choices are primarily based on my interpretations of the characters, which is going to become extremely relevant with a few key choices that deviate completely from the normal story. Also, as an inevitable follow-through of this, these songs are entirely subject to my musical tastes, so if you're wondering why most of this list is either Heather Dale, Miracle of Sound or Jeff and Casey Lee Williams that's why. Finally, obviously not every Arthurian character is on this list - with some of the big-name ones like Merlin that's because I couldn't come up with a song choice, with others it's because I haven't fully come up with my version of them and as a result I'm still figuring them out.

With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy this list!

King Arthur – Kingsword by Heather Dale

Kinda an obvious one - it's literally about Arthur - but I really like it and think it fits well with my version of Arthur, especially the last line of the chorus, 'A boy's hand will grasp it/A man's raise it high' - a major plot point of The Boy King is that Arthur has to grow up incredibly fast after the Sword in the Stone, and this song reflects that.

Guinevere – As I Am by Heather Dale

Again, another obvious one. This song brings into focus one major aspect of the Arthur/Guinevere relationship I play up - it's as much about their ideals as their attraction. Guinevere marries Arthur because she believes in his vision for Britain, and Arthur relies on Guinevere a lot for moral support. This is their greatest strength together, but it's also their greatest weakness - Arthur will later place faith in Guinevere's understanding of his vision where he shouldn't, and that will be the thing that turns Guinevere to Lancelot.

Morgan le Fay – Divide & Armed and Ready by Casey Lee Williams

Moving on to my favourite character in Arthuriana, Morgan gets two songs because... I wanted to give Morgan two songs. No, really it's because Morgan is complicated, and the two songs present her two moods more or less throughout her story - either vengefully, apocalyptically angry, or just righteously angry. That's my favourite thing about Morgan's story - she has a redemption arc, to be sure, but at no point during it does she accept that her motivation was wrong - Uther and Merlin deserved what she wanted to give them, her sin was in taking her anger out on people that had nothing to do with her revenge. So, whilst it's not as simple as a black and white 'Divide is Morgan pre-redemption, Armed and Ready is Morgan post', there is a sense that Armed and Ready is Morgan at her calmest. Also, because visually Morgan takes a lot of cues from the Trollhunters version of her, I've had a lot of fun with the 'I am the Golden One' line.

Morgause – Mordred’s Lullaby by Heather Dale

Yet another easy one - some might think it works better for Mordred, but I have other ideas for him. Not really much else to say - it's Morgause at her most evil, going places even Morgan won't - note how Divide calls out using children as weapons, whereas Lullaby goes 'yeah, I'm doing that Count of Monte Christo shit'.

Mordred – Mordred’s Song by Blind Guardian

Because edgelord Mordred gets edgelord rock song. Mordred is interesting, because I really don’t like the ‘born pure evil’ idea of Mordred, and as such his story is much more of a tragedy than even Arthur - a man who makes what he feels are the best decisions with what he has to work with, who slowly comes to the realisation that he's the villain of this story. Hence, a song that refers to his acts of evil as 'No one asked if I want this/If I like this'.

Nimue – Indomitable by Casey Lee Williams

This one was tough to keep in - whilst I'm absolutely certain that it fits my version of Nimue, the song itself is deeply personal for the people who made it, about an actual tragedy that happened to them, and I'm deeply uncomfortable saying that 'actually it's about this'. So, provided we're all aware that this is, more than any other song on the list, me twisting the original intent to fit my own idea, this is perfect for Nimue, particularly Nimue immediately after imprisoning Merlin and taking over his role as The Light Mage, the Big Good of the magical world. Her story’s pretty interesting, but the theme of trying to fill shoes that are way to big for you and eventually realising you can’t and the best you can do is try your best and do your own thing is prevalent and reflected perfectly by this song.

Lancelot – C’est Moi by Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner/Bad Luck Charm by Jeff Williams

Like Morgan, Lancelot gets two songs, but unlike Morgan there is an absolutely sharp divide between these two. To use a Fate reference as shorthand, C'est Moi is Lancelot as a Saber, whilst Bad Luck Charm is Lancelot as Beserker. C'est Moi is kinda the perfect song for Lancelot for most of the story - oozing self-confidence, probably too smug for his own good but exactly the right level of smug where you're not sure if you want to punch him or kiss him, it's great for Lancelot. Bad Luck Charm, on the other hand, is basically what's playing on a loop in Lancelot's head as soon as he gets caught with Guinevere, especially given he survives Camlann. Countless dead, two civil wars ripping the country apart, his friends either killed at his hands or cursing his name, his king and queen in a place he cannot get to, and all the while he's left to wander the world knowing that it's all his fault.

Gawain – Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Heather Dale

Not really much to say about this one - it's definitely influenced my interpretation of Gawain as the Pagan Knight to Lancelot's Christian Knight, and a lot of the events the song describes are what happens when the Green Knight comes to play, but all in all its just a really good song.

Kay – True and Destined Prince by Heather Dale

Being the deuteragonist of the Boy King, Kay is someone I've put a lot of thought into, and this song is definitely a part of my writers playlist I keep listening to to get into the Kay mood. In particular the key defining factor of Kay is loyalty - particularly to Arthur the person, because obviously anyone trying to hurt his little brother is getting smacked. Kay is basically the Leo McGarry to Arthur's Jed Bartlet if that makes any sense, helping to make Arthur's dreams a reality, and there's also the factor that Kay and Arthur always consider one another brothers, which the song definitely reflects.

Bedivere – I Follow My King by Heather Dale

You may notice that this song is basically the same thematically as Kay's song. This is because Kay and Bedivere are a healthy couple that communicate their feelings with one another and come to reasonable compromises, so obviously their attitudes towards certain things are very similar. But talking about Bedivere in particular, this song works better for him than Kay because of one key aspect about Bedivere - whereas Gawain swears allegiance to Arthur for initially very mercenary ideals, and Lancelot swears to Arthur because of Arthur's reputation, Bedivere swears to Arthur because he's experienced Arthur growing up, he's seen the kind of man he's grown into, and he knows that Arthur's going to be a great king. Also the song works better for Bedivere because if Arthur tried pulling the shit the subject of this song does on Kay he's get locked in his room until he learnt not to be an idiot.

Ragnelle – Force of Nature by Miracle of Sound

Tbh it's mainly here for the line 'They rant of redemption/As I leave them long behind' which is peak Ragnelle energy - Ragnelle doesn't care about your feelings or what you think about her, she's doing her own thing and she demands you take her seriously. Aside from that, Ragnelle in my version has a faintly Fae connection to the Otherworld, and even if I go with the idea of her dying (I'm still undecided on that) it's more than likely that she ends up in some other place where her and Gawain can spend their days, so there's a particular melancholy to the lines 'I can hear the worlds unseen/I can hear them call to me'.

Galahad – A Thousand Eyes by Miracle of Sound

This definitely doesn't seem like a song that fits Galahad, does it? It's certainly not the one I picked when I did the original format of this list, so what gives? Well, more than maybe any other song on this list, this one is influenced by my specific version of Galahad, and that is influenced by my specific version of the Grail Quest, which I only codified a few months ago - namely, by saying 'fuck it' and making it a horror story. I'm not kidding. There's a lot of complexity in this interpretation, and I'd love to go more in depth about it at a later date, but for now know that my Galahad isn't a clumsy Jesus stand-in, he's more like a Lovecraft protagonist briefly brushing against things beyond mortal ken before being consumed by them, and as such I could think of no better song than this one.

Gareth – Touch the Sky by Casey Lee Williams

Now, as with Galahad there are certain key things you need to know about my version of Gareth before the song makes sense. Unlike Galahad, this one is very simple: the boy is trans. Absolutely, unambiguously trans. His story is explicitly trans, he's explicitly trans, and as I've been reliabily informed by certain people this song has a lot of Good Trans Vibes, which I can definitely see. Honestly Gareth's story is another one I could probably talk about for a while, especially because I'm really unsure about certain bits of it, being cis and very wary of screwing up trans rep, but for now I'll leave it at this song being perfect for Gareth in Camelot, finally able to be himself and not Morgause junior - because if you expected Morgause to be a good mum you need to listen to Mordred’s Lullaby again.

Ywain – Stay By My Side by Miracle of Sound

Cute friendship song for the boy with the lioness companion, not much more to say about it. There is a search for identity element in both Journey and Ywain's story, in Ywain's case being a search for his own meaning outside of his family, but mainly its a cute soft song for a cute soft lion boy.

Dinadan – Knights of the Round Table by Monty Python

Because what else would it be?

Uther – Lionize by Jeff Williams

Asshole attracts asshole, and Uther's just enough of a dick that Adam's particular brand of 'everyone who isn't like me is weak and cowardly and only I can see what's necessary to save us all, you'll see I'm right in the end'. Also, you may notice there's no Merlin song here, and whilst that's partially because I don't know a song that could explain my complicated feelings towards Merlin, this song also tells you everything you need to know about Merlin, because if Merlin can look at someone who's got this in their heads and think he's a perfect candidate for the throne then maybe Morgan has a point after all.

Igraine – The Best I Can by Miracle of Sound

Igraine might have one of the most complicated backstories in The Boy King, involving mermaids, Mirror Universe Wonder Woman and the plot of ICO, but none of that is strictly speaking relevant to the story as is told. Basically, Igraine has been through a lot, and this song is about her trying to prepare all her children for the cruel world out there, and also knowing that she can't. It's kind of a downer to end on, but hey it's Arthurian Legend - it's all a downer.

Idol Life Ship??

@being-soft​​

Hey there! If you’re ships are open, could i maybe have an idol life ship? (If they are not open, I’m sorry for bothering you and just ignore this ^^“) My name is Chris, I’m non-binary, I’m a 01’ liner, 1,70 m tall, overall pretty muscular, short dyed dark brown hair and blue-grey eyes. I have one tattoo (more to come :3) on my left wrist which says "Ain’t no mountain high enough” (from the song) with a mountain in between. It’s suppossed to remind me of dark times in my past, present & future and that I can over come them. I’m an aquarius, an INFP and A Slytherin/Hufflepuff. On the outside I’m dark, analytical, sarcastic & scary. I hear that a lot from my friends, that they thought I was scary and unapproachable because of my rbf and the way I dress and walk. I dress grunge/butch (a friend described it like that, I basically have no idea about fashion) & my walk is very aggressive. However once you get to know me and I open up I’m pretty much just a soft bean, who loves to help people & make people happy. I can get happy & impressed about the smallest of things. However I can also get mad & frustrated easily about small things, which I’m not proud of which then made me sad…welp.  My hobbies are singing (I’m basically a living jukebox), playing Dungeons&Dragons, watching shows&movies, drawing, going for a walk at midnight (I like looking at the stars), reading manga&comics & acting. I have a thing for scary things, even if I’m quite jumpy ^^“ I like listening to all kinds of music, depending on my mood I sometimes listen to classic to rock. it’s really all over the place I’m deathy afraid of spiders & moths, I sometimes get panic attacks when it’s really bad. I’m also afraid of failing, not being good enough & losing myself to my anger issues… I speak 2 languages fluently, english and german, I learned french & spanish in school, but I’m not fluent in them and only understand bits. I kinda speak a few words/sentences of a lot of languages, but nothing that could really get me by in that country ^^’‘  I think I "talked”(wrote) your ear off enough ^^“ I hope this is enough and I didn’t bother you. I hope you have good week and stay safe & healthy! I appreciate your hard work & take your time!! 💖💖💖

Lover Review (by me!)

yeah I wasn’t sure what to title this but it’s me rating the songs of Lover! HERE WE GO. Also, if you don’t agree, please be polite about it! These are just my opinions, and I am not the final say in What Constitutes A Good Song.

1. I Forgot You Existed: dainty and sassy and fun. A cute opener and a good beginning to the story. About calvin possibly? idk doesn’t matter. Not my fave but a fun track to open the album and set the mood (8/10)

2. Cruel Summer: ok so I KNOW secret sessioners are saying this is THE track, but it sounds pretty similar to a lot of other vibey songs I’ve heard. However, it’s still magical and lovely. She does that same thing with her voice that she does in getaway car, the lyrics are flawless and the bridge is FANTASTIC (9.5/10)

3. Lover: the best of the singles so far. The music video is everything and the INSTRUMENTS!!!! it’s country roots!!!! YEAHHHHH!!! so sweet and earnest and lovely and all around perfect. Just waiting for it to be overplayed at weddings (9/10)

4. The Man: I’m calling it now: this is the song everyone is going to fawn over. It’s the most danceable on the album and it’s one of the only ones not about love. It’s SO TRUE but also a jam and it’s GREAT (9.5/10)

5. The Archer: idk this song just doesn’t do it for me. The lyrics are good (obviously) but the instrumentation isn’t my thing. Taylor’s voice is heavenly in this though so heck yeah (7/10)

6. I Think He Knows: The intro reminds me of Nervous by Shawn Mendes so I automatically loved it. It’s so about Joe (as is most of the album). THe bass line is fabulous. I just want to strut down the street to this song. Glorious (9/10)

7. Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince: Similar vibe to So it goes... but different message and also BETTER. Has really good lyrics, definitely a night timey sounding song (7/10)

8. Paper Rings: Stay Stay Stay 2.0!!!!! She dreamed about true love in stay stay stay and NOW SHE HAS IT HECK YEAH. It’s super fun and cute and SHE’S SAYS SHE’D MARRY JOEEEEEEE YEAHHHHHH BOIIIIIIII. The bridge melody is similar to the bridge of sweeter than fiction (which is a bomb song btw) (10/10)

9. Cornelia Street: Delicate 2.0!!! So sweet and honest and I love it. Slower, like Delicate, but with a driving beat (hence the similarities). One of my faves for sure. It’s so raw and true and beautiful. It’s also kinda sad but hopeful too? (10/10)

10. Death By A Thousand Cuts: The guitar is so sweet and the PIANO STOPPPPP I LOVE IT. Sad song??? But still a jam so HECK YEAH. State of grace is that you.. she’s talking about stoplights again (8/10)

11. London Boy: IT’S JOE JOE JOEJOEJEJEOEE. I love love love the lyrics in this, so jam packed with STUFF and I love it. A shameless song about how obsessed she is with Joe and I LOVE IT also did she purposely put in a p!atd title in the lyircs or if that just a coincidence? What am I talking about??? Taylor NEVER does coincidences (10/10)

12. Soon You’ll Get Better (feat. The Dixie Chicks): The Dixie Chicks are there for moral support aka the harmonies, they don’t get a verse (also it’s a country ballad). This is so sad and so personal and I wish the best for Andrea. Perfect perfect perfect (10/10).

13. False God: I love the saxophone in this. It’s got a very strong beat. This is like the one and only *saucy* song on the album. It’s slower and more of a nighttime song. I love how she sings lo-o-o-o-ove all breathy and sweet. Whoever said it was political doesn’t know what politics are. it’s got a nice vibe, but it’s not really MY vibe, still good though (6/10)

14. You Need To Calm Down: great message, but it’s the weakest song on the album in my opinion. It’s fun and cute and A HUGE DEAL for lgbtq+ people but I was sick of it after like 4 listens so I need to step away for a bit (6/10)

15. Afterglow: NOT ABOUT SEX DON’T EVEN THINK THAT YOU HAVE A DIRTY MIND. I really like the beat of this. Another apology song... I don’t think we’ve gotten one since back to december but I might be mistaken? Her vocals in the chorus are so dreamy and lovely. I love love love this song. It’s my favorite on the album EASILY (10/10)

16. ME!: Brendon Urie saves this (sorrynotsorry). The message is great and the music video is a blast and it’s a great single, but it’s one of the weaker songs on the album. Brendon and the great message of the song redeem it though in my eyes (6/10)

17. It’s Nice To Have A Friend: ok, so I know this is the track secret sessioners probably hated, but I LOVE IT. It’s got steel drums and a weird eerie children's choir that for some reason remind of coraline? And also a trumpet and church bells? The vibe? Anyways, the lyrics are great starting from childhood in verse 1 to falling in love in verse 2 to a wedding in verse 3. Chorus is literally just the title. I get why people wouldn’t like this; it’s very strange and unique but I think it’s so COOL (10/10)

18. Daylight: WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MISS TAYLOR SWIFT. It’s a PERFECT closer. Slower, but like This Love level of slow if that makes sense. You can’t dance to it but you know it’s going somewhere. Also, the lyrics are SO positive and happy and optimistic. Her talking at the end is the ULTIMATE message and a FABULOUS way to close the album. YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOVE (9.5/10)

the pogues and music

idk i thought of this while vacuuming and listening to frank ocean and this is probably all over the place

⁃ kie has spotify premium and lets the boys use it

⁃ they all like frank ocean and the 1975 and 100% LOVE music from the 60s-80s

⁃ kie got them into frank ocean

⁃ kie or john b got them into the 1975

⁃ john b has an oldies playlist that they are all obsessed with

⁃ jj listens to a lot of alternative and punk rock

⁃ and he likes ac/dc and green day a lot (and the american idiot musical)

⁃ they def all have their seperate playlists but they also have group playlists

⁃ oh and they are HUGE on playlists

⁃ like all of their playlists have very carefully selected songs and they had arguments over what songs were good enough for certain playlists and which songs had the EXACT vibes they were looking for

⁃ they have a group feels playlist (they do everything else as a group why not be sad together yk)

⁃ all of frank ocean’s songs and a lot of 1975 songs are on their feels playlist

⁃ not to be cliche but they obviously all love tongue tied by grouplove

⁃ i think pope really likes lofi beats (probably listens to them while he studies)

⁃ jj and kie love billie eilish but jb and pope think shes just okay

⁃ they all probably like brockhampton and childish gambino

⁃ kie and pope are definitely some of those ppl that vibe w pretty much everything except country

⁃ jj and john b like country tho

⁃ i feel like if jj had a gf he would make her slow dance to my kind of woman by mac demarco

⁃ if kie was dating anyone she would also make them slow dance to my kind of woman but i could def see her choosing the calpurnia cover of the song (unrelated but they all love stranger things and its probably the only show they all watch together)

⁃ KIARA LOVES CONAN GRAY AND WHETHER OR NOT THE BOYS LIKE HIM SHE FORCES THEM TO LISTEN

⁃ ribs by lorde is on their feels playlist but also good vibes playlist (might just be me but that songs gives me a lot of different emotions and it depends on my mood when it comes on tbh)

⁃ oddly specific situation but if jj and this girl liked each other but they didnt know the other liked them and jj overheard her listening to or singing heather by conan gray he would confess his feelings right then and there

⁃ kie is the live music at all of the boys’ weddings

⁃ john b and sarah have a playlist together and it features 18 by 1d, marlboro nights by lonely god, and i think i kinda yk from hsmtmts

⁃ i very very extremely very much associate jj with sex (catching feelings) by eden bc i could def see that happening to him

⁃ i dont think pope likes the show euphoria however he likes the soundtrack

⁃ oh yeah forgot to mention but they all like all the songs on the obx soundtrack

⁃ and kie knows how to play guitar and probably piano too

⁃ i feel like john b wouldve asked her for guitar lessons

⁃ after stranger things 3 came out everyone was always singing never ending story

⁃ they have a playlist for their late night dance parties at the chateau (just the 4 of them) and it ft the sound by the 1975, lost by frank ocean, and tongue tied by grouplove

⁃ jj knows all the words to fergalicious and is proud

⁃ if jj can sing (idk if rudy sings btw) he probably hides it BUT whenever he is with a significant other (not a hookup, an actual bf or gf) he sings to help them fall asleep and its the most adorable thing ever

⁃ jj would never admit it but he loves adore you by harry styles and put your head on my shoulder by paul anka

⁃ i cant decide if the pogues start listening to xmas music a week before christmas or literally october 1

My thoughts on Manic ✨

I’m really not the best with my words... but I just wanna talk about my thoughts on all the Manic tracks. Straight away I knew this was my favourite Halsey album because it has everything and more that I could ever want from her music, and sometimes I really need to listen to tracks a couple of times before I really love them but I was obsessed with this album STRAIGHT away!

Ashley: This song is the biggest yes, such an incredible opener to the album and I love how Halsey said even though it’s called Ashley it is the most Halsey song on the album because I agree with that. Ashley gives me big The 1975 vibes but they are one of my other favourite artists so I love that, and there is so many genius moments on this track, the “I only wanna die some days’ leading from the verse to the chorus and the chorus leading back into the verse with “I’m bursting out of the... seems.” And don’t even get me started on the Eternal Sunshine quote it’s PERFECT, even if it didn’t lead into Clementine it still just fits so well. I don’t really like thinking about the meaning of this song because it makes me sad but.... I love this song.

Clementine: Clementine was such a nice surprise to get on her birthday, at that point we really didn’t know what Manic was going to sound like and I would’ve never expected this sound but I fell in love with it straight away. Back then was when I was really unsure about how I was feeling about Manic (if you remember you’re a real one) but this song instantly gave me hope. This will forever be one of my favourite Halsey songs.

Graveyard: Okay, I’ve had a love hate relationship with Graveyard, the first time I listened to it I was in a bad mood which probably affected how I heard it even after that day, and I was still kinda expecting the punk sound on that day so I was like wtf.... but I grew to like it but it was just one I never really clicked with, I loved the acoustic version but the production on the actual version always through me off, that is until I heard it in the album for the first time and everything changed, I LOVE IT NOW!!! I totally get it, I really appreciate the lyrics and seeing Halsey’s growth and what she learnt, I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favourites on the album but I’m so happy I love it now.

You Should Be Sad: So I only listened to this once and then left it for the album, and I was thrown off by it being so country and I liked it but didn't love it, but that whole week I had it stuck in my head after one listen so I thought I will actually like it more when I next listen (and I like I said it usually does take me awhile to usually get into songs) but once again I love it now!!! It’s such a bop and the electric guitar is my favourite part of the whole song. From Without Me to Graveyard to YSBS you really see the journey of Halsey’s healing and I love that.

Forever...(is a long time): Aw my claimed track, you guys will see my thoughts about it when I post the track claim but I will just say I love it more and more with every single listen!! Not a disappointing song at all, actually in the track claim I say it’s not one of my top songs but it might actually be now!

Dominic’s Interlude: I AM OBSESSED!!!!!! I fucking love this song, it’s such a drastic change from Forever.... and I really love the perspective Dominic gives, and I never don’t have “TALK TO YOUR MAN! TELL HIM HE’S GOT BAD NEWS COMING!!!!!” stuck in my head. Honestly someone make a 24 hour loop of this song.

I Hate Everybody: I don’t know if this may surprise people but on my first listen I wasn’t completely into this song, like I liked it but idk... but I do love it now! It probably is a bit lower in my preference of songs (even though it is so hard to pick) but it is so good! I really love the self awareness in I Hate Everybody too. And also the trio of Forever... Dominic’s Interlude and I Hate Everybody is *chef’s kiss*

3am: Really what is there for me to say other than YES!!!!!! I am so glad we have this moment on the album, it’s just so good, literally the lyric “Will you please pick up the fucking phone” is one of my favourite parts of Manic. This is just a weird thing but there’s something about lyrics or words repeating closely in songs that annoys me (I don’t know how to explain) but when she says “cause they don’t know what to do with me” and then a second later she’s saying “I don’t really know what to do with me” it bothers me but it just a personal preference thing 😭 and I don’t really like John, but I do like having his voicemail cause like I said I like having wee things like that in albums.

Without Me: Without Me sweetie..... I thought I would absolutely hate it on the album but I don’t, but honestly part of me will always be a bitter that it’s on here but I’m mostly over it! I do think it is an important part of her journey so it is good it’s on Manic, the only thing is the effect on her voice or whatever sounds so different to the rest of her vocals on Manic and yeah I just don’t think it matches.... there’s not much else to say but I did love it originally!

Finally// Beautiful Stranger: Can we talk about the fact the lyric is actually “your eyes so crisp so green” and not crystal green because?? Honestly it does make so much more sense and I can’t unhear it now... anyways I also LOVED this when I heard for the first time. It’s beautiful, it’s special and I’m so happy that after all the pain she went through she had someone who made her feel so good 😭I feel like maybe I haven't been as interested to hear it at the moment... I don’t know if my love of it has died down a bit but I will always adore it.

Alanis’ Interlude: Okay!!!! This song is a bop and I think it will be really special for people especially young people who may be figuring out their sexuality. It’s not really one of my favourites but it is so catchy and I think Halsey sounds so good on it, and I also love that she has a song on HER album with someone she looked up to her whole life.

Killing Boys: This song.... is so good definitely one of my favourites. I love the Jennifer’s Body sample of course, and I also love how it’s one of the angrier songs on the album but it doesn’t really sound angry (like how Graveyard sounds happy but it actually isn’t) and I’m telling you right now that I need a music video for it and ideally it will be Jennifers Body themed!

Suga’s Interlude: So I actually didn’t listen to this until the album came out, but I’ve seen that a lot of H fans don’t really like it and I hope that’s not just because Suga is on it, I get that maybe it’s harder to get into maybe because you can’t sing along or understand what Suga is saying but I actually really love this interlude. Firstly H sounds like an angel, secondly the production is beautiful this song is just so calming to me and just makes me really relaxed. It’s kinda cool for me too as a Halsey stan because my best friend loves Suga so it’s really awesome for our favourite artists to have a song together!

More: So, wow, I obviously didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics on my first listens because it wasn’t until I saw a comment on a reaction video saying what this was about and my heart instantly broke. I already thought it was a beautiful song, but More has absolutely ripped my heart out, like I can’t even listen to it anymore cause it makes me BAWL and like I posted music does not make me cry.... I don’t really want to say much other than I am so so proud of Halsey for being able to release this song, I feel like this song is going to be so special to not only fans but people who can relate to it. All I want is for Halsey to be happy.

Still Learning: On Manic it is so important to have a moment like this, it’s so easy to look at celebs and think they are living the life and there’s no way they could be insecure and especially when we think they are so beautiful, so I love that Halsey has straight up said I am still learning to love myself, that is such an important message for everyone and this song is one of my favourites on Manic, it was my favourite from my original listen but my opinions are changing a lot at the moment! I just really love this uplifting moment on the album, even though some of the lyrics are sad, it’s just a reminder in our lives we all have some good and bad! Also having this straight after More is 😭 I’m trying to dance Halsey but I’m TOO BUSY CRYING

929: This song is literally just like having a conversation with Halsey, or Ashley I guess. It’s crazy how much she spills out in just this one song, like you literally hear everything on her mind. And after all the chaos of the album it’s nice to just hear her cute voice talking. This is such a cute song even though again it’s kinda sad, but I can’t think of a better way to end this album. Also at the end did anyone else think she said she was born in 1996? 😂 I was like hold up let me listen again

Anyways I hope everyone liked reading this it’s kinda all over the place, but yeah I just adore this album and I am so grateful for it 💜

folklore reactions

the 1: i totally called the tone of this album. I also love how all the album is in lowercase. this is such a sweet song! melancholy but beautiful. however, joe???? is she good? are they good? um hello I need to do some research about who this is about bc its beautiful but also sad. God I love Taylor Swift. She truly is the greatest songwriter of this century. 

cardigan: I’m really excited about this one tbh. nice into? YESS LANA VIBES. dark edgy rep mood and im here. how is this album already better than lover? also is she okay again? like i need to know about my girl. if this album doesnt win a grammy im going to riot. I love how poetic this album is. I didn’t really understand the black and white but I think I understand it now. 

the last great american dynasty: from the title im hoping also lana vibes but lets see. okay halsey 929 vibes in the beginning.  love the storytelling. I love this album so far. is this about the kennedys? is this about her past relationships? wait it totally is! marvelous? rhode island? or wait this is tiwwchnt? is this a reflection on her friendships? i’m so curious. Love the background instrumentals. wait no i’m wrong this is about her house? or the lucky one? i too had a marvelous time ruining everything also this is a mood

exile: I’m not the biggest fan of bon iver so i’m not too excited about this one, but i’m open to it, I guess. This is very The Last Time of her and I love that song so. oh no sad again. you were my crown now im in exile! no no please taylor be happy im going to straight up cry. I really hope she’s doing okay, but this song is beautiful. okay some quick research and taylor and joe are still together and apparantly he wrote things which makes sense 

my tears ricochet: very its nice to have a friend of her. okay i def hear the jack antonoff in this song. another sad song. :(  Wait yes here comes the orchestra why is this speak now x 1989? im here for this part of the song for sure.  florence inspo for sure.  

mirrorball: wait this is very fearless era is it not lmao? like the vocals are floaty and seem younger. okay this is sweet. yes begin again vibes I love it!!! yes empowerment and happiness!!!!! this is my favorite so far. This is what Me! wishes it was. hush! this is so relaxing. tbh i did think she said “im still on my toilet” instead of “tallest” so lets see if anyone else makes this mistake.  wait THIS IS THE LUCKY ONE PART 2. beautiful 10/10

seven: this is about the lover album going to call it. okay why does this literally not sound like her at all? wait im so wrong. like this is fairies in the field and she sounds like an irish folk singer from the 90s. this is cute. cottagecore lesbians on tiktok are going to use this sound for sure lmao. who does she sound like? ok i am not a fan of this song just going to put that out here now its kinda boring. 

august: if theres not an upbeat song on this album i will freak out. ugh another slow song. wait this is happy! yay! very beautiful kiss for him. why do i get like past romance vibes from this? (tom????) we love yearning. cruel summer who?also fearless vibes from this too.

this is me trying: based on the title im worried again? i almost do who???? I got wasted like all my potential ugh mood. why can’t she have the album booklet secret sentences again i sure hope she does omg. call it what you want also. 

ilicit affairs: now this has got to be about the getaway car triangle. can i be right about one thing. yearning again, but nice this time too. HIM! this is very red era and I don’t know how to feel about it. treacherous inspired this for sure. okay this is my favorite because its lowkey a diss track. dear john vibes also!

invisible string: never grow up vibes. however, I still need to know if taylor is okay like genuinely because i’m scared lmao. I hate it when people are sad esp her and like her albums define my life a bit so if shes sad im sad? bad blood lmao. aww time heals everything, this is so cute i sure hope shes happy. we love a self referencing queen. 

mad woman: the man part 2? oooh swear words. is this about k*nye? is this about k*m? wanting me dead has really brought you too together? who else? ive got to find some fan theories omg

epiphany: the 1975 vibes? i swear if this is instrumental.. okay why does this sound like a small british child singing in choir. its really beautiful though, no insult meant I just don’t really listen to music like this ever. its not really my aesthetic but I can appreciate it. 

betty: my friend freaked out about this song so from her reaction its got to be either confirmation of Kaylor/taylor being gay, the song is some weird genre thats not taylor, shes pregnant, or just really deep lyrics that hit differently? lets see. wait COUNTRY TIME? YO. oh no what did she did to betty? wait i feel uncomf. whats abigails opinion on this i need to know, were they friends? yikes friend breakup i’ve been there. is this from someone else’s perspective i gotta know. yay she goes to the party!!! wait what cardigan? whats happening im so ??

peace: interesting......this is beachy I love it? its nice to have a friend vibes again. she sounds like.. not herself? this is so different from everything she’s done before I need to sit with it and listen to it before i understand. clowns to the west. her voice sounds so beautiful here and so mature? i honestly was ready for this era after rep but not right now? idk how I feel about it. 

hoax: not s single upbeat song :(((((. faithless love??? not cute. is she going to perform any of these live i cant really imagine it. new york? aw no she’s sad my baby girl. hmm. don’t like this one. the vibes are great but I just dont like them.
