You know what's half upsetting half pretty funny? There's this song I absolutely love and I've always wanted to put it in a character playlist, but it is just so bleak that I've never been able to justify putting it in a character playlist. Keep in mind I have a playlist for Anton Shudder, the guy who is so depressed he can turn it into a literal physical weapon. He's like the king of bleakness but the song was just too bleak. Well, I've finally found a character whose playlist I can put that song into -- and it's a fucking TFP character. I checked the song, counted all the lines in it (44) and all the lines out of those that don't fit him (9). As a percentage that means that 80% of the lyrics of one of the bleakest songs I know fit a guy from a show I watched when I was 11. Life is absurd.

hunger games au where ctubbo volunteers for ctommy because he knows he’ll be able to kill and tommy wont. he wins the games by shutting himself down completely but then cant stop doing it when he comes back, and becomes so repressed and emotionally distanced from himself that he’s not even the same person and ctommy doesnt know how to help. the gold by manchester orchestra. you agree.

pick a pile: "Yes or No?"
take a breath and think about a question of any type; then choose the photo/number that calls you the most to read your answer.
don’t take the reading too seriously. only take what resonates with you and leave the rest. if you're not called by any pile, let this reading slid as it may not hold messages for you. if you're called by more than one, there may be messages in each of those piles. remember that is a general reading and some things may not resonate with you. energies can change and readings are based on present ones (as you read); you're always in charge of your life.

pile 1
answer: more of a maybe. there is hope for it to become a yes but there's probably something you need to get over/heal and ground yourself about. if it's some situation you need to face and that it makes you nervous/anxious or sth, try to take a breath first and think it through before making a decision. maybe write down lists of pros/cons, if applies. just remember you can take your time, you don't have to answer anyone immediately.

pile 2
answer: yes. and I think you should be hyped as well. I think it is not too clear atm, you may be confused, therefore you're called to learn something and keep your mind in check (you may tend to overthink, maybe self sabotage by telling yourself you won't make it: don't do this. be hopeful and try and hype yourself: you're there for you as your best friend, never forget). it may relate to love for someone but I think it's school/career for many. and self love for all, in general.
song: a thousand years | christina perri

pile 3
answer: another maybe. try to think about your feelings: does this thing (whatever it is) still bring you happiness? does it still give you joy? or you are just tired and doing it out of habit? if it's something you're thinking about putting an end to (job, relationship...), you probably should at least meditate it well. you deserve to think about your own happiness too. if you only wake up to cry again... try and find your way out of it. and ask for help or support, even just an outside pov, if you need.
song: comfortable | h.e.r.
- ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ -
pile 4
answer: yes. a delicate one though. similar to pile 2, you may tend to self sabotage but if you don't get in your way, you can do it. things change. grow into your best self, don't be scared about what others may do or think. be your own person, follow your own passion, speak up when you need. find your balance. be your own comfort zone when you have to get out of your comfort zone. believe in yourself, nurture your fears as they're part of you. accept yourself for who you are deep down.
song: put your head on my shoulder | paul anka
- ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ -
pile 5
answer: "uuuh yeeess-ah~" (it's the ending part of a song ig lol) I think you are overcoming something at the moment. it feels also that the pieces of the puzzle are sticking/coming together and you're having a better picture of it all. You're being bolder, you're trying to stop stressing out, you're talking, and... if you're asking about love, yes, your person may be on their way to you. stay grounded and chill (patience!!).
song: yours to keep | jordan mackampa
- ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ -
pile 6
answer: no. I think there's something you're not seeing or not considering atm, so you need to understand and see this thing from a different perspective too. There's something inside that needs to be changed, maybe a mental pattern, or something that needs to be accepted but you're not open to do that now. your answer may turn into a yes (where still applicable ofc) but first, you need to analyze things well. (you may be getting downloads or signs to guide you in your dreams or daily life btw).

Striving for Worthiness
A Playlist for Obiyuki Week 2023 by @snowwhite-andtheknight 
Tumblr media
While trying to fit the songs to the prompts, this playlist became less about making himself worthy, and more about working through his self-doubt, eventually fading out with some Lilias bonfire feels!
Striving for Worthiness
Kiss of Life- The Dear Hunter (Day 1: Attraction) As Above, So Alone- Copeland (Day 2: Worship from Afar) Whatever’s Left- Snow Patrol (Day 3: Declaration of Devotion) Circles- Anberlin (Day 4: Virtuous Rejection- Indecision) Not Strong Enough- Boygenius (Day 5: Renewed Wooing) Bed Head- Manchester Orchestra (Day 6: Heroic Deeds of Valor) Shut Your Eyes- Snow Patrol (Day 7: Consummation of Secret Love)
Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
Kiss of Life- The Dear Hunter (Day 1: Attraction to the Lady)
Give me more than the things that I live for I'm only echoes of the man that I'm supposed to be Because I want more of the things I'd die for I want to feel it in my soul Now that you've unburied me, dust me off and carry me home And I beg you sing life to me again I promise this won't happen again Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
As Above, So Alone- Copeland (Day 2: Worship of the Lady from Afar)
And I know you love me Even when you can't say it like you mean it But no one has ever seen my Soul unfettered the way you are I wake but layers of a dream Lay over everyone I see But how is it so, my world looks different now But no one knows?
Whatever’s Left- Snow Patrol (Day 3: Declaration of Passionate Devotion)
A feeling I've had many times before I can't hold the fort, so don't give me more I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake And I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine As the madness sets in You must know that I'll follow you
Circles- Anberlin (Day 4: Virtuous Rejection- Indecision)
I set to search the ruins I looked inward to find I keep running into circles Lost myself to find me Left him there to just bleed Running into circles to find myself Are we all looking for someone To see us for who we really are? Because as long as we know ourselves No one could ever get that far
Not Strong Enough- Boygenius (Day 5: Renewed Wooing with Oaths of Virtue)
I don't know why I am the way I am Not strong enough to be your man I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and Spinning out about things that haven't happened Breathing in and out Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing Close my eyes and count
Bed Head- Manchester Orchestra (Day 6: Heroic Deeds of Valor)
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish my past, and my time There is only love and fire, so Let me extinguish the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind Right by the entrance, you broke Finally, reality's taking its hold You're not who you were, but you can't let it go You're not where you're from, but you're always alone So I stick a flag in the ground I think I know who I'm living for now I am what I am, same above as the ground It's not what I want, but I'm figuring it out
Shut Your Eyes- Snow Patrol (Day 7: Consummation of the Secret Love)
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere Somewhere cold and caked in snow By the fire, we break the quiet And when the worrying starts to hurt And the world feels like graves of dirt Just close your eyes until You can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will

valentine | laufey
I still feel a shock through every bone / when I hear an "I love you" / 'cause now I've got someone to lose
wish that you were here | florence + the machine
and I never minded being on my own / then something broke in me and I wanted to go home / to be where you are
amtrak | los retros
will we ever find / a way to make our time last forever? / because I begin to miss you
sweet nothing | taylor swift
I find myself running home to your sweet nothings / outside, they're push and shoving / you're in the kitchen humming / all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing
tell me it's okay | paramore
tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now / tell me it's okay to be happy now, my life is finally leveling out, so
Tumblr media
glitch | taylor swift
I was supposed to sweat you out / in search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground
take a chance with me | niki
I can hear your heart from across the room / pulsin' through my veins, I know you need this too / lie to me all you please / I can see right through / see right through
caught | florence + the machine
and I'm caught / I forget all that I've been taught / I can't keep calm, I can't keep still / pulled apart against my will
satellite | harry styles
spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in / I can see you're lonely down there / don't you know that I am right here?
don't you worry | oh wonder
and in the morning, you adored me 'til the sun went down / and then I knew you were the one I couldn't live without / if I'm honest, it felt like love
Tumblr media
I'm not calling you a liar | florence + the machine
I'm not calling you a liar / just don't lie to me I'm not calling you a thief / just don't steal from me / I'm not calling you a ghost / just stop haunting me
'tis the damn season | taylor swift
to leave the warmest bed I've ever known / we could call it even / even though I'm leavin' / and I'll be yours for the weekend / 'tis the damn season
the gold | phoebe bridgers, manchester orchestra
couldn't really love you anymore / you've become my ceiling / I don't think I love you anymore / that gold mine changed you / you don't have to hold me anymore / our cave's collapsing
i will | mitski
'cause all I ever wanted is here / all I ever wanted / all I want is / always you / it's always you
renegade | big red machine, taylor swift
you fire off missiles 'cause you hate yourself / but do you know you're demolishing me? / and then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave

48, 49, and 59 for the music asks!
48. Who’s an artist you think it’s criminally underrated and deserves more recognition? probably scott james.... his ep "shelter island heights" is so fucking gorgeous i recommend it to everyone go listen right now
49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version? yes, i have a few !!
59. Do you listen to music when it’s raining or do you stop to hear the sound of the rain? it really depends on the song im listening to... most of the time i will just listen to sad songs and watch the rain from a window

Manchester Orchestra - COPE
I want to watch it all fall until it's dark, You both look exactly the same at night I'd arrange the bed like crosses, watched them fall into the floor Made me stop and forget what we were fighting for It's like everything that I ever have imagined's coming true today
There is a cost, my friends Of living out some other dream to find the consequence It comes and goes in seasons around here, I thought again There's nothing left around to yield this sorry ignorance If I do echo I hope you never see There is no one there that's waiting after me And I hope if there is one thing I let go it is the way that we cope
Now I hope if there is one thing that we know From the way that you and I will wander on And we won't become a lifeless lope that wanders round and hopes for sorrow
And I know! I know! I know! Know! I know!

What’s the most ‘90s thing you can do about a piece of media you like? That’s right: make a mixtape for it.
Fortunately, it’s the future, so there’s no shuffling multiple tape decks or recording things off the radio -- just a Spotify link. Hopefully you will enjoy putting it in your ears.
It is specifically a mix with the novel continuity and aesthetic in mind. (There’s even a song on there for our favorite bubble-based epilogue!) I’ll gladly explain any of these choices, but it’s probably best if you let your imagination do it -- except that I will tip my hand about Wintersleep’s “Orca,” because that is the best Baby Ghost King song I’ve ever heard.
Enough of that! Here’s the link and tracklist. Happy listening!
the last of our kind - a Guardian mix
prologue: Florence + The Machine - Big God pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea
The Staves - Tired as Fuck put down the phone, put on my gloves and wish me luck
Lucy Dacus - Dream State... without you I am surely the last of my kind
Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Devil Like Me you see the devil don't mean to be evil / he just regrettably forgets to exceed expectation
Bishop Briggs - Dream they say that secrets make you sick and I should know
Amigo the Devil - Hell and You but I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true
Alana Henderson - Let This Remain let tonight be a stutter ‘midst the eloquence of days
Llynks - Fantasies come on, I know just what you hide / yet I’m in your claws every single night
Foie Gras - Red Moon jump into a lake / extinguish these ghosts inside of me
Emma Ruth Rundle - Darkhorse so let your heart die, in the springtime that surrounds you
Adna - Beautiful Hell how it multiplies in my veins / and in my blood and home
Brooke Bentham - I Need Your Body I love it when you put me your legs over my thighs
Vancouver Sleep Clinic - Killing Me To Love You I give you my heart just to watch you waste it
Phoebe Bridgers - Halloween but I can count on you to tell me the truth / when you've been drinking and you're wearing a mask
The Antlers - Doppelgänger if you're quiet, you can hear the monster breathing
Laura Doggett - Beautiful Undone it's the cracks that let the light shine through
MXMS - Something in the Way underneath the bridge / the tarp has sprung a leak
Koda - Leviathan all my friends are dying to get out
Cathedrals - In the Dark let it go, let me hold you this time (don’t say a word)
Les Friction - Dark Matter don't stop, don't think, don't look back / you're a bolt of lightning in the sky now
Lady Lamb - Salt and in this heaven the horror of its absence / has me trembling beside myself beside you
Wezn - Mountain Side fire to fire / the world turns / keep on turning
Wintersleep - Orca I'll be a killer whale when I grow up / I'll be a monster
Our Lady Peace - Holes there's a hole in the Earth since you've been gone
Soap&Skin - Thanatos tremor of my heaven son / tares above my kingdom come
Saint Mesa - Lion diamonds in your skin, my blood flows
Manchester Orchestra - Virgin you tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts
Lucy Dacus - ...Familiar Place without you I am surely the last of our kind
Said The Whale - Wake Up time makes all things fall together
epilogue: Will Cady & Alan Watts - What Fills the Gap we haven't realized that life and death, black and white, good and evil, being and non-being, come from the same center

The Gold
Tumblr media
Note: I don’t even know what to call this because it’s something that I literally came up with to essentially torture my friend, but I can’t stop thinking about it. This is super short with hardly any details, I was simply in my feels. But, play this song as you read it. It’s based around it.
You wake up on a fall morning, things feel…different. The air is crisp and chill, the sun is up but it’s gray. And Jake is gone. 
Jake isn’t in his spot in the bed like he normally is, waiting for you to wake up so he can kiss you gently good morning. 
With curiosity, you crawl from the bed and see him sitting on the couch in the living room—with his bags packed. Everything down to his favorite coffee mug, ready to be hauled out of the house. 
You didn’t see this coming, you first think it’s a joke. But the look on his face says other wise. 
“Look I’m sorry—“ he begins to say, taking the palm of his hand and patting the couch beside him lightly. “Come here hun,” he gestures. 
You begin to weep, fearing the worst. A million scenarios running through your mind. Thinking about all the things you could have possibly done wrong in the past 24 hours. Just last night you two shared laughs, things were good, you laughed so hard you both cried. Things felt normal.
“We’ve been in this same routine for years, I think it’s time—“ he begins again, wiping the tears that flush your cheeks. 
“Time for what, Jake?” You question. 
“I think we need some time, I’ve felt this way for a while. I love you more than anything, but we are so stagnant. We need change,” he says. 
“I don’t want change, I like what we have,” he says. 
“I know, and I do too, but I think it would be good for us to branch out for a while, and if fate decides we are to be together, then you know we will be,” Jake says. 
“Where are you going?” You question as Jake stands from the couch, gathering his things. 
“I’m going to Sam’s for now, don’t worry.” He says. 
“I still love you, this isn’t goodbye.” He pecks your cheek lightly before closing the door behind him. 
———————
Days go by and you haven’t heard from him, you can do nothing but lay in bed with the one hoodie he left you, Phoebe Bridgers playing on a constant loop, all of the blinds drawn closed. You crave his touch, his affection. You need him. You miss him. 
The phone rings, and you finally see his name.

i want to know about your fic! is that cheating? is it meant to be a surprise?
technically!!!!! it is in fact a surprise!!!! because it is secretly for a person!! I will give the following incredibly vague details --
1) i hope to get it done within the. oh I wanted to have it done by the 20th I think but it will uhhhh probably take. longer. by god, it's already the 11th. I regularly and vastly underestimate time. but I hope not much longer than that!!!! hopefully a week after at the latest??????
2) objectively it has the funniest shenanigans. but also like......I am trying to keep them in character. but also not. experience the EXTREME second hand embarrassment that can come with these shenanigans, bc second hand embarrassment physically hurts me
3) a long long time ago (2008.) the mcr website had a blog section that gerard used REGULARLY, and once posted about calling second hand embarrassment The Motts (and since it's gerard, it does and does not make sense in context.) and ever since then whenever I experience second hand embarrassment I think 'oh no gerard way I am feeling the motts' so my notes very frequently say DO YOUR BEST TO AVOID THE MOTTS.
4) lemony is there!!!!!!! beatrice and bertrand are mentioned in passing. ......other characters show up.
5) the fic spans a great deal of time. like.........a GREAT deal of time. damn.
6) I have never written this trope before but I have read a great deal of it in my time, it was very popular in the les mis fandom? which I have read TOO MUCH fic for. I always wanted to write fic for it and still have lots of wip documents, but I think my les mis fic potential days have passed me by. I still love the amis a great deal, though. anyway it's also not quite that trope, and that's very thrilling. that's where a great deal of the amusement comes in. If I can navigate it right. oh but it's also a very old trope, actually!!
6a) I mean, you see tropes in fic sometimes and think of them as very fic specific, and I think some things very much are, but also, people have been telling the same sorts of stories for an age, and i was actually able to tell my mom about the plot and have her understand it bc she's seen movies with the plot. which is very bizarre, usually this does not happen.
6b) although I do wonder now, isn't this trope like the worst way to get enjolras and grantaire together. well, I guess it depends on how you're writing them, honestly. I think the most well-known fic with this trope did it well, now that I think about it
7) I think. I am going to split it into two chapters. and........see the first half took about a weekish of planning to get the Reasons things were happening to make sense. so if push comes to shove and I only finish the first half by whatever date it was, I will post that, and then, do the second half. which is less structured but still needs. you know. things to stand on. just less things.
8) it tentatively had a title but then I thought, it would be better as a chapter title maybe, so then I figured out the other chapter title, and now I am. Missing an overall title.........
9) the titles, though, are from the songs the maze and I know how to speak by manchester orchestra.
10) potentially, a candlelit dinner may take place. there will be bread.
11) one of my notes just says 'it's the most unsexy [REDACTED] of all time'
12) someone's gonna get kissed eventually though despite my subpar skills at writing physical romance contact!!!!!!
13) I worry about it a lot, though. Just, making the fic, make sense right in general. I know what I'm aiming for but there's still a lot of uncertainty in getting there, sometimes. and it happens all the time, in everything I write!!!! every writer goes through that, in every piece. never stops being very nerve-wracking, though. And I don't think I've ever really written something like it before. so!!!!!!!! we'll see. I'm rooting for it.
