Why Are You Ugly? Your Traits, Habits, Etc...
Tumblr media
Hi, Hexlings!
This pick-a-card is really just for fun. Please don't take most of what is here seriously unless it resonates. This is just to show some of your features or traits that others deem unattractive. Again this is meant to be fun and not a dig at you..unless you like shit like that then by all means do you.
This is a general reading, remember to take what resonates and leave what does not. This reading does not supplement your need to seek professional help.
Take your time when choosing your pile. Ask yourself the question and choose the picture that you can’t stop looking at. Listen to your intuition.
Tumblr media
Pile l:
Tarot: 5 of Swords, 5 of Cups / Strength (reversed), 2 of Swords
Pile l others find you "ugly" because you are a coward who lack direction in their life. The phrase from the movie Clueless "You're a virgin who can't drive" just popped into my head. Not only that but you like to cry wolf while also not doing anything with your life. Ex. "I'm so lazy, a fatass, etc" but then you continue to scroll on TikTok and not apply yourself in areas of your life you want to change. You may also like to point fingers at other people whenever something doesn't happen the way you want it to go and blame everyone else except for the matter for what it is, sometimes yourself.
Oracle: Talent/Dreams (Reversed), Life Purpose The TikTok meme "You are looking so cute doing ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING GET YOUR ASS UP. GET YOUR ASS UP." For those who don't know the meme here is the link to the original video: http://tinyurl.com/3fa4xth2
Tumblr media
Pile ll:
Tarot: 3 of Swords / The Magician / 6 of Swords (All Reversed), 5 of Pentacles.
The only thing you like to let go of is money pile ll. Anything else in your life you like to hold onto especially toxic people and grudges and sometimes for no dam reason. Someone could step on your 5-year-old shoes and say sorry but because they stepped on your shoe you're out for revenge...okay maybe some of you may not be that petty but you still like to hold grudges and then wonder why no one or barely anyone is in your life...it's because you let people go for breathing wrong pile ll. Someone says your name in a tone you aren't familiar with, blocked. Someone didn't bring you food even though you said you weren't hungry, block. Again maybe not this crazy for some of you but you get it. You may have also been attracted a bit to pile one because you also don't like to do sh*t with your life and when you do decide to do sh*t with your life if it doesn't happen fast enough for you, you give up as if everything is supposed to bend you to your will when, where, and how you want it.
Oracle: Prosperity/Love (reversed), Trust
There's a lyric to a song that I can't think of but the song part that is playing in my head is "That's why you believe in lies..."...I wish I knew the song but that is the only part of it that keeps playing with no melody in my head. Learn to trust...not only yourself but others and love yourself. Let love in your life without treating everything like a checklist or transaction. Also, stop overspending, pick up a Financial literacy book or course and learn how to save, plan, and budget your money properly.
Tumblr media
Pile lll:
Tarot: Death, 8 of Wands, The Fool, Knight of Wands
Pile lll your trait that others may deem "ugly/unappealing" isn't so much of a bad thing. you were probably told when you were younger that you always were "Acting fast" or if not people as an adult tell you all the time that you are always on the move as if you are on the run. You can't sit still maybe you have or deal with ADHD. Every time you get a new idea, or opportunity, or you see something that could possibly get you ahead in life you are on it and you never think about whether this is the right move for you? Is this opportunity legit? or anything else substantial that you need to make sure that you land safely, if not safely at least have a parachute when you jump. You may also move from job to job similar to pile ll anytime you see even a milligram of bullsh*t you are out of there. "Miller when you are done running and want to make a home, make it with me." Book Quote from the book Caught Up by Liz Tomforde (love that book) it's about a female who is always on the run and she does a favor for her dad and nanny one of his teammate's son and when they start falling for each other he says that to her. I am getting this is more so from your higher self pile lll. When you are done running from your past, inner thoughts, poverty, chasing gimmicks, and temporary people go back to yourself and actually see what exactly do you want to do, what is your purpose, what is something you can build for your life that is stable and secure than these fleeting moments you keep trying to create for yourself. Some of you may be either in situationships that you hate or like to have a lot of flings only to feel lonely afterward.
Oracle: Boundaries, Life Purpose, Compassion
This goes back to the quote in your reading pile lll. Stop running from yourself and the things you really want vs the things you chase.... I may do a reading on this let me know if you want that or not. Either way show yourself more compassion and place boundaries on yourself not others. You have no problem in that department for a lot of you but others you need boundaries for yourself and others.
REMEMBER THIS IS MEANT TO BE A FUN READING AND NOT AN ATTACK.
Thank you to everyone who are subscribed to my Patreon and those who like and reblog my pick-a-card readings. I always appreciate you. I hope you enjoyed this reading.
Until next time, stay safe and blessed.

I changed the song “I’m A Star” to fit with my rewrite of Wish
Tumblr media
Soooo yeah… I don’t have any song writing background so please be nice 😅
But I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. Think of it as “You Never Had A Friend Like Me” kind of song but sang by Star Boy from the concept art to Asha, explaining to her he’s there to help her out, but he can’t exactly make her wishes come true just with the snap of his fingers, because her wishes can only come true through her own actions
Hope you like it!
Lyrics in orange are said by Star ⭐️
Lyrics in purple are said by Asha 💜
The song has the same rythm as the original, but I recommend listening to the demo when comparing
I’m A Star (rewritten)
[Verse 1]
Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?
Or blow dandelions in the wind? Asking them to better your chances
Why throw a coin down a well? While knowing that's no spell
Traditions passed down generationally, to you (yes, I hear)
And to some unbelievers they may seem like fallacies
Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky for answers?
[Chorus]
Well, you don't have to look too hard
I'm here for all your question marks
If you're tryna figure out just who you are
Don't look far
In the sky, and your front yard
In your heart and in the scars
If you really wanna know just who you are
You're a star…
[Verse 2]
What! You just said YOU'RE a star! Uh-huh
Well, yes, but you're up to par
Cause' while I do bring that sweet magic intervention
Only you can reach your own destination!
See I'm more of that lil voice that suggests
Whenever you don't know how to handle all your quests
So even though I can't do all of the work for you
I can sure always help
You get it through!
[Verse 3]
A wish is a dream that comes from your heart
See, I'm only here just to do my part
With my magic I'll make that dream go just as planned
But I'm sure that by now you already understand:
My wish coming true, depends on me?
EXACTLY! huh
[Chorus]
For you don't have to look too hard
It's all around and not too far
If you're tryna figure out just who you are
You're a star
Do you know you're a work of art?
Even in the deepest dark
If you really wanna know just who you are
I'm a star!
[Verse 4]
Some say that's just too ordinary
Like us stars just ain't necessary
Because I ain't no genie legendary
Granting all you wish in a second
Well dear, just between you and me
I think I'm more fun cause, you see
I'm here to guide you and assist
As YOU make your own origin story!
[Chorus]
You don't have to look too hard
It's all around and not too far
If you tryna figure out just who you are
You're a star
No matter where you end or start
We're both each other's counterparts
If you really wanna know just who you are
I'm a star (Wooh)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, I'm a star
Watch out world here you are (Hey, hey)
You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?)
Me, I'm a star! (Wooh)
Oh, you're a star
Watch out world here you are! (Hey, hey)
You know who's lookin' sharp? (Who?)
You! You're a star
[Outro]
Ha-ha-ha, wooh
Yes, wooh
Ah-ha-ha, ho-ho
Tumblr media
I had a lot of fun experimenting with this song! Please do send suggestions on how to improve it if you have any. Also I’m curious, if we had gotten Star Boy, who do you think should voice him?

For those interested in a sing-along: here is an English translation of the encore song from the Link Click Musical. (you know, the one one with the hug.)
The tentative title, supplied by a weibo user, is 追光者 "Zhuīguāng zhě" <- Recent lyrics call this 《追光的人》
Edit: It didn't hold up lol. Big thank you @chocolatexiaoshi for teaching me! 追光的人 means People who Pursue Light/ Chase Light/ or Seek Light . Some lyrics have been and will continue to be modified as we work on this!
追光 translates to “spotlight” in my dictionary. Literally, it means "to chase light" In this song, 追光 is personified as either 追光者 or 追光的人. Pretty cool term to use in a stage play! Google translates this as “light chaser.” I’ve chosen to go with “guiding light.” We will see how poorly that holds up to official translation ^^;
Each line punches the gut harder that the last. This song basically references the s2 ending, then ties it into the earthquake ark. It's brilliant. It hurts. Listen to the video while you read. Please enjoy :)
Disclaimer: As always, I am a novice translating for fun, because I want to sing-along and know what I'm saying. I can’t speak or read this language. If you've checked google translate, this doesn't add much extra, but! this post conveniently includes Hanzi, Pinyin, and English for you to reference + a few notes. I've primarily used Pleco, inputting word by word, with mdgb.net/google for extra clarification. I'm learning, but fairly confident that this is reliable, though not fluent. Please reach out about any mistakes you find!
link to video
link to origin lyrics: one, two , and a thank you to @sgdlr-asdfghjkl for providing them!

seventeen and bts songs
seventeen as different bts songs!
notes: this was originally meant to be a thought but, uh. it became too long. (also if anyone wants svt as seventeen songs or txt songs, ill make an exception to my no requests law Just For That 🤭)
masterlist
Tumblr media
seungcheol
on. the power, the 'never giving up' energy, the 'idgaf if you hate me' energy, the 'look how far we've come, do you really think you can beat us?' energy is just. very very him. he has pride in himself and his group, and rightfully so, and that's exactly what this song talks about.
jeonghan
love maze. it's so.... pretty. the entire song just has such pretty vibes, like some sort of iridescent silk, and the kind of sparkly, 'just trust me' vibes make me think of jeonghan? it feels like winks across a room, running hand in hand from a boring convention to god knows where, like loving endlessly with jeonghan.
joshua
serendipity. okay, am i jimin biased? yes. and am i joshua biased? also yes. so is this a little bit biased too?? ... yeah but also the 'let me love you' vibes of serendipity, the gentle, lovely, adoring nature of the song fits joshua so much okay. serendipity reminds me of soft colours and joshua is a soft aura, so what other song could he be?
junhui
moon. it's like, about an awe-filled love, an adoration, an almost shy love too? it feels very junhui because of the sweetness and adorable nature of it. also it's as im typing this that i realize it corresponds with, like . "moon" junhui. moon junhui. wen junhui. ig it was meant to be
hoshi
dope. the hyped nature of the song!!!! the 'im the best' energy!!!! the 'carving my own path that's like no other' vibes!!!! you can't tell me this isn't hoshi. it's just such a... hype song. i really can't find another way to explain it, but it has the same bounding energy as hoshi
wonwoo
fly to my room. maybe a bit of an unexpected one, but there's a sort of tired, grateful comfort to fly to my room? like, it feels like aching feet being placed in someone's lap, sitting on the couch you both own, in the place you both call home. the naturalness, the domesticity, it all feels like wonwoo.
woozi
film out. okay this one i can't really explain, but the gentle, calm vibes give me a woozi feeling. it's like rainbows, like delicate glasses, like the fragile beauty of woozi. plus it also feels like something he would compose: like, fallin flower? downpour???
minghao
black swan. not only due to the royal, elegant vibes of the song, but because it talks about dance and about the self and about loss and love all at once, and don't you think that sort of thoughtful, soul-searching type of lyrics fit minghao so, so well?
mingyu
boy in luv. it's like, kinda grungy, kinda bad boy, and that's like the vibes that mingyu tries to give off. but it also talks about lovesick boys and they were so Young back then that it makes me go "aww" whenever i watch the mv like they're little puppies or smth 😭 and that's literally me with mingyu even if he's stripping during concerts or whatever
dokyeom
mikrokosmos. i was debating between this and euphoria, but it's ultimately mikrokosmos for dokyeom because it's just so soul-ascendingly glittering. it's magical, it's sparkly-eyed, it's full of smiles and happy ever afters and that in itself is dokyeom. also the talking of universes and stars??? stars are for dokyeom's eyes and the way he sings, so of course he's mikrokosmos.
seungkwan
autumn leaves. autumn leaves, or dead leaves (ive never looked into why it has 2 names lmao) is a very yearning, wistful song that really fills me with Emotions whenever i listen to it. but it's also powerful, rich, and it feels a lot like seungkwan's voice and his strength to carry on
vernon
boyz with fun. it's such a cool funky adorable song fr!! vv much vernon vibes. i can imagine him listening to this with his headphones and his beanie and just bopping his head while walking and accidentally tripping over a loose stone on the pavement. it's very vernon actually.
chan
magic shop. idk, i can't explain it, but the comforting and sweet and magical kind of vibes that fit chan. it's youthful, not in an innocent or childish way, but like the memory of youth, emanating the "forever young" message that bts often presented. i think chan encapsulates that very well.

Not knowing whether all the requests are taken but if there are any slots, could you write about a g/n reader who is a singer (or maybe even an idol) in the original world, confess to their crush by performing a love song in front of all NRC’s students, keep their eyes on that person for most of the time? Please make it with all the dorm leaders (and Jamil if you feel like writing his). Thank you very much 💖.
dorm leaders reacting to an idol!reader performing a love song for them (gn!reader)
Tumblr media
this is such a cute request! sorry i didn't do jamil's part though, i've been feeling a bit tired lately ;w; and i went with an idol!reader, i hope that's okay!
riddle rosehearts.
♡ riddle knew that you were an idol before coming to this world, but even though you told him that a long time ago, he still has no idea how your singing sounds. he was curious to hear you sing, he can't deny that, but asking you to do it was.. a bit too much for him. yeah, he was too shy to ask, haha. but he still hoped that he'll get to hear you sing one day.
♡ so, cater told riddle that something very important is going to happen today and the dorm leader just can't miss it, he has to be there. naturally, riddle thought that it's going to be something like an announcement from the headmaster and he made sure to remember to come and hear it. huh? is it just him, or cater looks like he's trying really hard not to laugh?
♡ wow, all nrc students are here.. so it really is going to be something important. of course, riddle is not scared at all, he's completely calm and he's ready to listen- wait, is that you? he thought the headmaster is going to stand there.. you thank everyone for coming and then you notice riddle's face in the crowd. you give him a big smile and wave your hand and though it looks like you're saying hi to everyone, for some reason riddle feels like you're doing this for him.. you mention that you were an idol before coming to twisted wonderland and that you really wanted to sing something for nrc students, because they were so nice to you and you're glad you met them. wait, so when cater said that something very important is going to happen today, he was talking about this?? no, no, it's not like riddle thinks your song is nothing special, it's just.. please don't tell him that cater knew about his crush on you.
♡ you start singing and your voice is just as beautiful as riddle imagined it to be. no, actually, it's even more beautiful! also, maybe it's just riddle overthinking things, but the song that you're singing is a lot more romantic than he thought it would be. maybe it's actually supposed to be platonic- ah, wait, some lyrics don't sound like platonic love at all. also, why do you keep looking at him while singing? it's almost like.. you're singing this song for him. sure, you wanted to sing for others too, but it's like you chose this song to tell riddle something. after you're done and you leave the stage, riddle says that your performance was amazing and even though he tries really hard to stay calm, you can see him blushing a bit. riddle wants to believe that you chose this song so that you could tell him how you feel about him, but he won't mention that, at least not right now. but if that really was your intention.. then it means that you love him back?
leona kingscholar.
♡ you told leona that you were an idol in the past and.. he wasn't that impressed, actually. he knows what idol music is like and he doesn't find it that interesting, it's too.. cutesy for him. you told him that there are a lot of different idol concepts, but he still wasn't interested. he still wanted to hear you sing though, but whenever he mentioned your singing, you just went "what, you want to hear it just so that you can make fun of me?". you weren't that serious about it and you mostly meant it as a joke, but deep inside.. you were scared. what if leona ends up not liking your singing? you really didn't want to embarrass yourself in front of your crush, so you needed a lot of time before you finally got the courage to perform for him.
♡ you invited other nrc students too though. you wanted to confess your feelings for leona with your song, but you didn't want it to look too obvious. also you were still a bit scared, you know that it probably sounds weird that you're more afraid of performing for your crush and not for a huge crowd of students, but you just can't help it. also you want leona to use his brains and figure out the reason why you invited him. what, you can't just go "hey, i like you, please go on a date with me"! you sure hope that leona will get your message though.
♡ leona ends up coming too even though ruggie pretty much forced him to go and he thinks it's just going to be another boring concert and he hopes he'll be able to sleep through it, but when he finds out that you are going to be the one performing, he suddenly doesn't feel so sleepy anymore. ruggie immediately goes "wow, you sure look more energetic now, dorm leader-" before leona tells him to shut up. leona is quiet during your entire performance and doesn't say anything, which makes you think he's bored and you're trying really hard not to panic. well, at least other students are enjoying the show..
♡ when you're done singing, you go to talk to some other students who praise your singing skills and tell you that you've done a great job, but they get interrupted by leona's sudden appearance. you want to leave as soon as possible because you're sure that leona didn't like your performance. you even tell him to just go ahead and say that he hated it- "what made you think i hated it? it was fine. still not my kind of thing, but not as bad as i thought it would be." h-huh? so.. wait a second. you know leona, if he says that something was "fine" or "okay", it means he absolutely loved it. he also tells you that he didn't really care about the song, he just wanted to hear your voice, that's all. and you're pretty good at singing, so the fact that it's an idol song doesn't bother him that much. well, that's good to hear- wait, SO THAT MEANS HE JUST IGNORED THE LYRICS??
azul ashengrotto.
♡ azul is another dorm leader who knew about your past and he really wanted to hear you sing one day. oh, you know, it's just something he finds interesting, he totally doesn't think that you singing for the mostro lounge customers would be a great idea, haha.. you promised him many times that you will sing for him one day and it looks like you're finally going to fulfill that promise because he received quite an interesting invitation from you today. you tell him that you're going to perform for all nrc students because azul is not the only person in this school who wanted to hear you sing, but you would be very happy if he came too. and of course, he can't miss an event like that.
♡ azul has very high expectations for you and you're extremely nervous because of that. what if he doesn't like your voice? what if he thinks you're not talented at all? what if he hates the song that you're going to sing? you wanted to confess your love for him with this song too and you wrote it yourself while thinking about azul.. well, you will just hope that he's gonna like it, you don't really have any other choice.
♡ azul knows about idols that's what happens when you're in the same club as idia and though he's not a big fan of them, he still finds you being an idol impressive. also, being friends with an idol can be one of his many useful connections- no, no, he really does treasure the friendship he has with you! he actually would love it if your relationship became even deeper than that.. you didn't hear that from him. but when he finally hears you sing, your performance exceeds all of his expectations. why.. why didn't you let him hear your voice sooner?? he already had a feeling that you must be very talented because of how popular you were in your world, but.. he finally gets what idia meant when he said that idols bring people joy and happiness.
♡ he tries to act like his usual self when you ask him if he liked the show and you hear a lot of compliments from him, however, they sound a lot more sincere than, you know, his usual speech. so he really did like your performance.. you're so happy.. but there's still one question left. you ask him if he paid attention to the lyrics and he nods and says that it was a deep and beautiful love song and he wonders if you wrote the lyrics yourself. you proudly tell him that you did and mention that you wrote this song with one of your friends in mind. azul freezes for a second and tries to act like nothing happened and compliments you once again before he leaves. yeah, now he's going to overthink what you said and try to figure out who you were talking about. and no, for some reason he doesn't think that you were talking about him.
kalim al-asim.
♡ when kalim finds out that you used to be an idol, he's not sure what you mean by that, but once you explain it to him, he is so interested and he is so?? proud of you?? like wow, you used to be this really popular singer and you made so many people smile, how cool is that? he admires you even more now! oh, wait, now he really wants to know how your voice sounds like when you sing. he asks if you can sing something for him, but you don't think you're ready for that yet, singing in front of your crush sounds so scary.. he totally gets it if you're uncomfortable with it though! he just hopes that you will let him hear you sing one day.
♡ when you finally feel like you're brave enough to sing for kalim AND confess your feelings for him, kalim suddenly says that you should let all nrc students hear your voice, come on, it would be so fun! oh well, looks like your confession can wait, haha.. you don't mind singing for others at all, in fact, you would love them to hear you sing, they're your friends after all. it's just that you've been waiting for this moment for so long and it looks like your confession won't be that "personal" anymore. but hey, at least it won't be that embarrassing!.. probably.
♡ kalim actually notices you looking a bit nervous before the concert and tries to help you calm down. he tells that he's sure you're gonna do great and he already knows that he's going to love your performance. you were so popular in your world and people loved to hear you sing, he's sure people from twisted wonderland are going to become your fans too! but he doesn't know that you're anxious not because you think people are going to hate your singing, but because you're literally going to confess your love for kalim with your song. but yeah, what he said to you made you fall in love with him even more.
♡ kalim ends up loving your performance SO MUCH. he never really listened to idol music before, but he's glad that your song became his first experience with it. he has so much to say, he has so much to ask, he refuses to let you go after the show is over. he's just so happy, he knew that you're an amazing and talented person, but your performance turned out to be even better than he expected! the song was so cute and your voice was beautiful and- yes, he does remember you singing a love song, what about it? oh, did you have a deeper reason for choosing that song? how interesting, he would love to hear it then!
vil schoenheit.
♡ he was certainly intrigued when he found out that you were an idol in the past. he's not really a fan of music like that, but he didn't expect you to be someone famous in your world. now he even feels kind of guilty for being so hard on you when you first met, it means that you both are most likely on the same level.. no, actually, he'll be even more strict with you now. now that he knows that you were a celebrity, he will pay even more attention to your hair, skincare, etc. wait, what do you mean, you're not sure that you want to keep being an idol in this world? so it's like.. you're taking a break from that?.. whatever, it doesn't mean that you can just stop taking care of your appearance.
♡ you've always wanted to sing something for vil and you've been thinking about confessing your love for him too, so.. why not combine these two things? you've always found it easier to express your feelings through music and you're sure that it will be easier for you to express your love that way too. when he receives an invitation to come to your concert, he's quiet at first, but then he suddenly goes ".. didn't you say that you took a break from your career?" yes, he thinks that it was just an excuse so that he won't be so strict with you. he agrees to come though.
♡ you look like you're completely calm, after all, you're used to hiding your true feelings thanks to your job. but you're actually very, VERY scared. what if vil doesn't like your performance? oh, he's totally gonna hate it. your idol songs are too cute for someone like him, you knew that you should've picked a more elegant-sounding song! he's not gonna like the lyrics too, you really should've went with something different.. oh well, you don't have time for this right now.
♡ vil remains completely emotionless during the whole show which makes you panic, but you still keep going. you can't let others down just because he's not enjoying it. you try to prepare yourself for what he's about to say after you're done and oh no, he looks angry- oh, he just wanted to tell you that you've been dancing so much, your hair is a mess now. haha, yeah, that's definitely something vil would say. when you ask him about your performance, he tells you that he never was into idol music, but.. he has to admit that he liked your voice a lot. he also noticed you looking at him the entire time. "so.. does this mean that you know how i feel about-" "you should've looked at the other people too. i know, it's easy to get distracted when someone like me is here, but you should pay more attention to others. i thought an experienced idol like you would know that."
idia shroud.
♡ WAIT YOU WERE AN IDOL?? please. please tell him more. please, he has to know more about your past. he wants to know what kind of idol you were, what was your theme/concept, what did you call your fans and of course, he wants to hear you sing too. you say that you can't do that yet and when he asks why, you laugh and say that "your friendship level is not high enough". oh.. but he thought you two were friends.. wait, that was a joke? ah, you're just too shy to sing for him right now. that's actually kinda cute.. no, he didn't say anything!
♡ when you tell him that you're going to have a concert soon and you want him to come, he's not that happy about it at first because. you know. people. and he doesn't think that those normies are going to appreciate your talent that much. "well then, now i want you to show up even more because you're most likely going to be the only one who can truly support me~" that's it. he's coming. well, that was easy. the hardest part is going to be trying to confess your love to him..
♡ again, idia is not happy about having to sit with all these nrc students who don't know anything about idols and who can't understand how talented you really are. but when you actually start singing, he immediately forgets about all of that stuff and he can't take his eyes off you. he knew that you would be a great singer considering how popular you were in your world, but.. that's it, you're his favorite idol now. he doesn't even remember who he used to stan before hearing your singing.
♡ when the show is over, he waits for others to leave so that he can talk to you without worrying about them. and when you two are all alone, that's when he goes full otaku mode. he literally has stars in his eyes and he can't stop talking about how cute you looked in your outfit and how good you are at dancing and how pretty your voice was. you can feel your face becoming warm and red and you try to stop him even though you don't want him to stop. wait, so he also noticed you looking at him the entire time??.. ah, he just thinks that you did that because he was the only one who could truly support you, just like you said.
malleus draconia.
♡ he doesn't know anything about idols. literally nothing. so when you tell him about your past, he doesn't really get what you mean by being an idol, but when you explain it to him.. okay, yeah, that sounds interesting. do you mind singing something for him then? if you're comfortable with that, of course. but if you're not, it's okay, he can wait. what malleus doesn't know is that you've been planning to sing for him, but not just any song. you want to confess your feelings for him with your song.
♡ you want this moment to be memorable though, so you decide to invite other students too, you know that some of them also really wanted to listen to your songs. also malleus won't feel so lonely with so many other students around! and yes, you make sure to invite malleus to your little concert and don't worry, he won't forget to come. no, actually, he will mark this day in his calendar, that's how important you are to him. he tells lilia, silver and sebek about it too and lilia finds it adorable that malleus is so excited to finally hear you sing. and yes, all four of them are going to come.
♡ when malleus finally hears your voice.. he already had feelings for you, but now he's totally in love with you. he can see how hard you've been working and he can see how passionate you are about being an idol. lilia mentions that you've been looking at malleus this whole time and malleus goes "wait really??". he was so busy looking at you and listening to you sing, but he didn't even notice you looking right back at him. that's how much of a simp he is
♡ other students tell you that they enjoyed your show, but when they see malleus draconia himself wanting to talk to you as well, they immediately leave while apologizing. they are afraid that he's gonna say something bad about your performance because of how he's been staring at you this whole time, but you know that this guy actually loved it and had a lot of fun. he says that you've definitely impressed him.. but he's afraid he won't be satisfied with just one song. you have to let him listen to you sing more often. oh, but sadly, he would be another guy to ignore the lyrics. he was too busy admiring you to pay attention to that.

OK
Before I talk a LOT (I'm not joking, A LOT)
About this au, how I stumbled upon the idea, story and all in a rushed format,
APPRECIATE THIS
Tumblr media
TOOK FOREVER
COMPLETELY out of my general comfort zone in art BUT OH WELL LOOK AT IT :DDDDDDDD
Also serves as a good hook for what this post is about mehehehehehehehe
CUT TO RAMBLINGS
Oh I have your attention?
Excellent.
It started with me thinking and wondering about a specific fic that is unrelated to this post, frankly different fandom, and I was wondering how it would play out in a movie format, but seeing as the fic in question currently is unfinished and won't be for a while I decided to direct my attention to other fandoms, got to DCA fandom, came up with a few cute ideas i didn't write down for unfinished fics, for the record I do think it would be interesting if Solar Lunacy was a musical just saying, and then I started to think about ok what fics ARE fini-
SLEUTH JESTERS HECK YEAH
Unfortunately at the moment I don't have any digital sketches to share for some of these points and the sketches I do have are pretty messy SO I'LL JUST RAMBLE cause I already wrote down a lot of these separately
Firstly, I imagine this kind of musical being in universe kind of au. Possibly an extension of the Actor AU where the original media (tv show? movie?) got so popular it got a musical adaptation
I imagine the actual music, whether the songs or just sound track, would be heavily inspired by Jazz or smthn. Like, the genre of music most popular during the time period Sleuth Jesters is in ish. It would still be musical-like but you can tell the genre they are going for
And before continuing, to get around not actually saying "y/n" on stage cause that might be a little awkward MAYBE there could be some kind of special sound affect for the actors mics that the audience knows is y/n's name?? Half baked tho
COSTUMES
Sun, Moon and Eclipse (at least) would have highly decorated masks to match the original just added onto because they are on stage. Masks, so that there are more options for who to cast. To make up for this, the actors have to make it clear in their body language to make up for lack of expression
in productions with higher budget mayhaps one function could be the eyes have options for what emotion they could express
In most productions there will be sound effects in the background that mimic the noise that Sun Moon and Eclipse make as they move. Or at least be incorporated into the sound track ooooo
Y/n's clothes would have an easy to notice difference in quality compared to the DCAs, which makes the bell and ribbons much more noticeable on stage
Smaller note but I think y/n's make up could be kind of fun with how they show the y and n on their face
Would probably have a wig colored various shades of silver but not required
FIRST SONG FIRST SONG FIRST SONG
Would be the introduction (of course) and depict the first chapter and likely have something to do with "Until Next Time". I think possibly it would have little breaks in the song to fit in the dialogue
Honestly, in an adaptation there might just be more scenes added between the earlier chapters to fill in points in time or smthn
OR (the answer I like better) The first act uses time between chapters to fill in reader watcher on backstories or past's of characters
Actually yeah little hints would be packed in the first half
Any other songs could be filled in for the boys or y/n that could have the potential to return as a Reprise
Now listen Mandatory Eclipse Villain song(s)
this is not optional
Duets Duets DUETS
One duet could be between characters that are foils or mirror each other but it's one of those duets that have different lyrics that still match up musically
Particularly I think the latter could be used for Sun and Moon's complicated relationship with Eclipse but not completely sure where that would be, probably second half, speaking of which...
ACT ONE ends in the chapter that Y/N has to return the favor to Eclipse, where he crashes the party and they go with him, reassuring Sun and Moon that they allways can wiggle out of situations
REPRISE OF THE FIRST SONGGGGGG
Until Next Time Reprise
Which will have a moment of silence after, showing their mutual understanding yet make it perfectly clear sun and moon don't want to do resort to this
Doesn't last to long as it proceeds with the sound track DROPPING in tone as Eclipse stuffs y/n into the car, that is actually just a prop that leads to the back stage
FADE TO BLACK INTERMISSION
ACT TWO (any major costume changes or forever hold your piece) I think would start off with Sun and Moon's dilemmas first before getting back to y/n
WHICH would likely cut to y/n maybe already in the burgundy shirt but meh that's not solid
I think the way Eclipse gives them the burgundy ribbon and bell could be changed in an adaptation of the story since it would be easier I imagine to show it later than in a car set piece
(Admittedly I have to reread these specific chapters to know specifically the order) But when Eclipse drops the bombshell he knows their past, and I think he leaves them alone for a bit after that, SONG TIME (though song could still happen with him there honestly)
Something similar to the theme "I thought I burned everything" and would just
And after that likely more backstory could be cut to depending on what it is and how relevant it is at that point. WOuld be much grimmer in tone but hey it's the second act.
Though if this opportunity is taken, this could be reprised later when Y/N proposes to the boys, with the necklaces to show being more comfortable with their past
More song opportunities with Y/N's trust issues, Sun and Moon's brother issues, etc
Final act-ish, where y/n first runs away after Sun and Moon "find out" and from there would have more focus on the score than any songs that could be fit into that small frame.
My thoughts went kind of to Heather's Dead Girl Walking Reprise and then Veronica and JD's tussle toward the end if songs got implemented there
AND OF COURSE The moment of Eclipse's death is really what makes me think this would be adapted into a musical in universe
Because it does kind of fit the bill for being tragic
You feel bad enough for what could have been
But also remember "Nah that bitch deserves it"
But also.. it's sad
PERFECT FOR MUSICAL ENDING
ish
After proposal, there is possibility to do a QUICK little glance into the future at the end, not unlike Dear Evan Hansen's ending, but maybe not
Ok now Applause section!!
Freddie and Gregory would bow together
I forgot to mention earlier, but the character that is revealed to be a spy for Eclipse at the police station I'd imagine would have hints on their clothing (like burgundy) that would foreshadow their side
Eclipse would bow by himself, flaunty as ever, yet you can still kind of tell the actor is kind of a sweetheart
Sun and Moon would enter, bow together and then welcome Y/n
Who would get to bow on their own, then with Sun and Moon
Then the rest of the cast is welcomed
How the arrangement would go from left to right I was thinking
Law Enforcement and basic background cast making up crowds, Freddy, Gregory, Sun, Y/N, Moon, Eclipse, Michael, Other Aftons and Spy, rest of Law Enforcement and basic background cast making up crowds
AAAAAaaand thats what I've got.
@naffeclipse did you catch all of that?
and @sunnys-aesthetic for their detective au! :3

Nobody asked but over the last couple of days I decided to listen through every mainline Skinny Puppy album (all formal LPs + Remission which is for some reason considered an EP, never fully understood that) from beginning to end in order of release. I've listened to all these albums 5 billion times and know them more or less by heart but it occurred to me after the last show that I don't know if I've ever done this.
After each album I wrote a little Twitter-sized review of it and highlighted a few standout songs. This is, of course, because I originally did this on Twitter. It was a really fun little post-concert activity so I figured I would share it here too.
Maybe even a good introduction if I still have any followers putting off checking them out...? 👀
Remission (1984). The one that started it all. Kind of. Simpler than the rest maybe but still so iconic. “Far Too Frail” continues to be my favorite, hearing it live for one of the encores blew my mind. “Film” as the encore opener also brought tears to my eyes.
Tumblr media
Bites (1985). Still simpler than later outputs but also still a classic. Has a ton of really underrated instrumental-heavy/atmospheric tracks, and “The Choke” and “Last Call” are perfect songs. “Assimilate” is legendary but unfortunately gets hardcore overplayed lol.
Tumblr media
Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse (1986). The addition of DRG is palpable. SP starts coming into their own and sounding less like a Cabaret Voltaire tribute band. Lol. Moodier, more complex, and lush with dark soundscapes. “God’s Gift (Maggot)” is one of the best.
Tumblr media
Cleanse Fold and Manipulate (1987). From the first beat of “First Aid” onwards, this is one of THEE quintessential Skinny Puppy albums. IMO the real start of their “golden era.” Contains some of my favorite songs of ALL time. “Addiction” is easily a no contest top 5 SP track.
Tumblr media
VIVI SECT VI (1988). One of the greatest. Noxious war zones, sterile hospitals, choking, burning, cold clanging cages in animal laboratories. One of the darkest, most nightmarishly psychedelic, heaviest, absolutely masterfully crafted albums. “VX Gas Attack” remains unparalleled.
Tumblr media
Rabies (1989). Hi Al. This album just oozes sex appeal. I never get tired of it. It has a deranged masculine militaristic machine gun energy unlike anything else. I’ll never tire of “Hexonxonx,” “Worlock,” or “Tin Omen.” And ending on the dreamy delirious “Spahn Dirge”… Goddamn.
Tumblr media
Too Dark Park (1990). A lot of people call this one THE supreme SP album. It’s legendary. Pure unadulterated Skinny Puppy. Sounds like home. An endless barrage of chaos and stormy monstrous polluted amorphous landscapes. “Grave Wisdom” is an all time favorite ever.
Tumblr media
Last Rights (1992). The most utterly mindblowing devastating masterpiece of an album maybe ever made. The cohesiveness of the themes, sounds, lyrics, imagery—pure art. It’s a terrifying and desolate hellscape. Flung into sonic Knowhere. “Mirror Saw” is pure perfect transcendence.
Tumblr media
The Process (1996). I have some trouble with this album—It can just make me very sad. You can both feel and hear the devastating loss. Barren and hopeless. Still, it’s TEEMING with absolutely rocking, heavy, guttural bangers. “Cult,” “Blue Serge,” and “Curcible” stand out.
Tumblr media
The Greater Wrong of the Right (2004). A personal fave. Forever enthralled by the dreary smoking futuristic cityscapes painted by the various textures across each track. An epic journey through destruction of civilization and the mind. “Goneja” is an easy top 5 SP song for me.
Tumblr media
Mythmaker (2007). Used to struggle with it, was even my least favorite, but it’s grown on me and I love it. A high octane reality-bending journey through alien dimensions and human mythos. If Ogre’s alien Other belonged to an album it’d be this one. I adore “Dal” and “Pedafly.”
Tumblr media
HanDover (2011). Grossly underrated and constantly written off, I ADORE this album. It captures a sort of dreamlike melancholic sharp surrealism unmatched by anything else, like rain falling softly atop a rusting metallic dystopia. “Gambatte” is a stand-out forever favorite.
Tumblr media
Weapon (2013). A fitting end. Nostalgic familiarity rejuvenated with sharp crispness. This one taps deep into my imagination; post-apocalyptic fantastical mechanical wastelands haunted by ghosts of the past. “Plasicage” is an all-time fave, and I love the reimagined “Solvent.”

hi from princess's anon inbox! here for ab/ap reverse order! It has totally changed my thoughts on Jet Pack Blues. Hearing it come after 4th of july is, eye opening. If 4th of july is the break-up song and Jet pack blues comes two songs after, it sounds like the fallout of the breakup and the She's singing "baby come home" in a melody of tears hits different. I saw you comment that female POV in songs is Pete and now I'm like wait who is She, who is Her? Are they the same, are they not? The song has always had me a bit tangled up to begin with and now maybe more so.
Help it feels like Headfirst Slide three people pronoun jumbling all over again!
hi oh my god anon i cannot believe i completely forgot to answer you 😭 i. don't remember how long it's been im so sorry i had some of this drafted but forgot to finish and post it 😭
abap reverse is my BABY she means the world to me, like after listening to her so many times it feels so weird to go from immortals into twins now instead of twins into immortals and that's so fun because twins is so obviously the album ender i mean:
Tumblr media
but a fun thing to me is just that like, in reverse order it makes immortals feel like an expansion on everything that's happening in twins, it continues the story. the people in twins aren't at a complete impasse because they still keep this going and nothing really ends, and by reverse order instead finishing with irresistible it makes irresistible feel like a decision whereas twins feels so uncertain 'i don't want to remember the promises we made' 'there's a room in a hotel in new york city that shares our fate' but what IS that fate, twins doesn't show us the fate. irresistible is, on the other hand, extremely determined and sure of itself. 'coming in unannounced' 'i didn't come for a fight but i will fight til the end' 'too many rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores' 'i'm coming for you and i'm making war'... part of the reason i'm also bringing up irresistible and twins together is because the 'original lyrics' of immortals are reused in irresistible*, which if you're following me on immortals being a continuation... well the connection is so obvious
* the video here & pete confirming the lyrics were a different version:
Tumblr media
the lyrics in question:
I tell my love to take it, take it easy on you But I'm not making any p-promises to you Too many war wounds and not, not enough wars Too many rounds in the ring, and not settled scores
okay so back to your original point about jet pack blues and fourth of july, firstly, i love you jet pack blues. secondly though i totally agree that putting it after fourth makes the aspects of a break up so much more pronounced. putting it in this context i think really highlights just how desperate, how lonely, jet pack blues really is. from 'i don't want to remember' in twins, with the way fourth is apologising 'i'm sorry i didn't mean any of it, i just got too lonely'... all of it serves to really make jet pack blues HIT when it repeats 'baby come home (i remember)' and asks. did you ever love her?, 'i said i'd never miss you' after all. which is where the whole switching pronoun thing you mentioned comes in, she, you/honey, and i. except i think personally, and this is my own interpretation but this whole thing is so 🤷‍♀️, but i think the split is that she and honey are the same, and the 'you' in verses is the same as she and honey, but the 'you' in the chorus is self directed. with 'i remember' being in parenthesis it implies a level of hiding, you remember but are you actually telling this person that the way you did when you said you don't want to remember in twins, or is, as i believe, the chorus entirely self directed. after all, the 'baby come home' is in quotes, so this person is quoting someone else, and 'did you ever love her? do you know? or did you just never want to be alone?' it's reflection on pov to pov themself. it reminds me a bit actually of the 'you are doomed but just enough' from church which @princesspete has talked about here (and i agree aha)

Hello!!😁 I've just seen your post in which you said you would like to write about characters from the hunger games and I'm here to provide a request, if you like the idea🥰
Finnick × reader: It's kinda of a crazy idea and a bit long so sorry in advance:)
Reader is from district 5 and they won their games the next year after Finnick, them being the same age. They are close to Finnick, having travelled back and forth between district 4 and 5, due to reader's relative(maybe a brother that settled there because of marriage or some other reason). We know what happened to Finnick after he won :( and something happens to reader as well, but it's entirely different. They are an incredible singer and songwriter, and after singing an original piece during the games (because of fear and loneliness), Snow wants them as a personal entertainer (reader reminds him of Lucy gray if you've read the ballad of songbirds and snakes :) )
So, reader having been a prisoner, a sparkling jewel for Snow and the capitol, performing at parties and events, they get even closer to Finnick, him being the only one who understands the meaning behind each song they write, to the point of something romantic. They can't be together, especially in public, because of their conditions, so right before Peeta and Katniss win, a party is held and everyone can finally see their undeniable connection to Finnick, when the two find a rare moment to dance.
I want to leave the ending up to you, so will they just confess in front of everyone or continue to suffer (if you choose this one, maybe snow announces a marriage between the reader and some snob from the capitol, and the two lovers find out on the spot? and maybe they find a way to persuade snow into thinking that a marriage between Finnick and reader would be better? - this is just because I'm a sucker for a happy ending😭)
Thank you so much for listening and if you don't like it then that's okay, or if you do like it but want to change it, then that's also okay💛
Tumblr media
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
thank you for sending in a hunger games request!!! also fandom aside this is AMAZING, your requests are always so creative and fun to write 😭😭
masterlist
Tumblr media
You’re not entirely sure what’s real and what isn’t. On some surface level, you are smiling and beaming as if you might believe the emotions you’ve taken such care to display, but deep beneath your skin and bone, you’re back there, in the arena once more. Your eyes see different visions, one past, one present. Nothing seems to stick around long enough for you to be sure of it.
That is the problem with the Capitol, after all, they get into your head once you’ve spent too long amongst their bright lipsticked masses. Their eyes stare at you unblinkingly, pupils stretched and dilated as they watch you sing upon their stages. You have been their favorite plaything for quite some time now, no matter how much you wish they would just forget about you. Their favor shifts like the tides, surely it should leave you soon, right?
Despite all of their attention, you’re not sure that any of the legions of wealthy watchers have truly seen you in quite some time. Otherwise, they’d start to notice that the songs they love to examine don’t seem as happy or sweet as they thought. Lyrics are the only way for you to speak your mind, after all, even if the true message has to be hidden beneath a layer or two of literary fluff.
It’s their own fault, you decide. You should have been left to rot in peace after you won your round of the Hunger Games. You shouldn’t have had to return to the Capitol time and time again, until your house in the Victors’ Village in District Five goes empty more often than not. They like to have their darling little music box available at a single call, especially now that the latest round of the Hunger Games has begun.
You would have had to be here anyway, to act as a mentor for all of the tributes from your district who are about to die. You’ve been able to secure a good amount of gifts for your surviving girl, although her male counterpart died the first day during the initial bloodbath. You’d warned him to stay away from the Cornucopia, but then again, no one ever wants to listen. That’s as common amongst the citizens of the Panem districts as the gilded classes of the Capitol.
Still, you’re trying. On the occasions that you’re actually able to break away from the stage to send aid to the remaining tribute from District Five, you’re pleased to see that she’s doing well, for the most part. She’s only fourteen or fifteen, but she sparks with wit. She might be able to win if she’s able to outfox everyone else, but enough fame is growing around those two tributes from District Twelve that you can only hope she’ll last long enough to make it out.
Already, though, you think she might be a lost cause. No matter how many compliments you lay on her to all available sponsors, you can tell one thing that they can’t. There’s a look in the girl’s eyes that tells you she’s going to give up soon enough. It might not happen for hours, maybe even days, but at one point an accident will come and she’ll stop fighting.
No one else knows it, you think, except perhaps the other mentors. There’s no way to recognize that complacency unless you’ve been in the arena and seen it on the faces of the other tributes. You swore to yourself the second you were reaped that you wouldn’t be a murderer, that you’d win by keeping yourself alive and letting the others take each other out. If you were going to win the Hunger Games, you wanted to do it right.
That, of course, was just a dream. You’re not going to let yourself think about how many people you did kill, what it felt like to plunge a dagger into someone’s chest and watch their breathing slow. You know exactly what it looks like when someone gives up on living because they always stared at you like that in the split second before they died, like they accepted once and for all that they were never going to win.
Instead, you were going to win, but at what cost? The residents of the Capitol love to applaud your songs, to read between lines and think of themselves as proper detectives for figuring out all of the red herrings you throw at them. In truth, not a single song of yours has been about love. How could it, when you haven’t been human enough to feel something like that since the day you appeared in the arena?
Instead, each song is about a tribute. The record-toppers are usually about the ones you killed, because even the harshest critics can’t deny that there’s strong emotion in them. Sure, it’s because you lie awake at night wondering if there was another way, if perhaps you killed all those kids because you wanted to, but who in the Capitol wouldn’t applaud real feelings in a place where anything other than falsehoods is a sin only found with the children dying onscreen?
Dimly, you hear the song winding down, and come back to something similar to reality just in time to hit your last nights. You’re hit by a wave of applause, and let it sink into your skin like hooks. Every standing room only show means one thing:  another month before they let you go. At some point, you accepted that you’ll never truly be able to leave, but you still like to pretend otherwise.
You depart the receiving room of the Capitol as soon as you can. You’re not allowed to set foot onto Capitol streets without an armed escort. Supposedly, this is to make sure that no crazed fans try to kidnap you, but you harbor a suspicion that it’s actually a guarantee that you can’t try to run for it.
Still, they let you have the illusion of freedom by letting you walk wherever you want under the surveillance of only a dozen or so security cameras. You pace through the corridors until you find a high balcony overlooking the streets surrounding you. They’re busy tonight, likely because Capitol residents, when they’re not holding gaudy watch parties so they can bet on which teenager will be the next to bite it, do something they affectionately refer to as faux reapings.
Basically, they’ll send out gilded invitations on thickest cardstock to all of their wealthiest friends so they can ‘rough it’ by watching the Games outside instead of the safety of their climate controlled penthouses and mansions. They’ll have servants and waitstaff set out exquisite venues in neighboring parks or gardens, with the token plant or supposedly extinct animal on hand to prove their mettle at wilderness survival.
In reality, it’s nothing better than a floral soiree, but to the citizens of the Capitol, it’s far more immersive than a simple holographic display. It’s like they’re in the Games, or so they claim. Being in the Games is the last thing you’d want to do, but you suppose it’s easier for them to enjoy it when they’re never living in fear about what it would be like to be a twelve year old dying at the hands of a starving friend, so they cluster outside anyways.
“That might have been the most depressing performance I’ve seen all year,” a voice next to you says matter-of-factly.
You turn, surprised, to see the Capitol’s other favorite golden tribute coming to a stop beside you. Technically, you’ve met Finnick Odair before, but it was never personal, always some Capitol debutante wanting to see how many tributes they could convince to retreat together to their personal chambers.
At this moment, however, all you can think about is that he is decidedly less charming than you’d heard. “That’s a wonderful compliment, Odair,” you reply, “I’ll be sure to keep my melancholy attitude at bay next time I’m dragged before the Capitol again.”
Finnick nods somberly. If he’s affected by your sarcasm, it’s only to entertain him further. “You should. If anyone dares open their eyes a little more, they’d realize that you’re not actually here for your own amusement. Appearances are all we’ve got, sweetheart. It would do you good to keep yours intact.”
You lean back against the balcony so you can look him dead in the eyes. “Oh, and I’m supposed to believe that your dashing good humor is just an act, too? You’ve had that going on for far too long. At some point, you have to have believed in it at least once.”
Finnick takes a fast step forward, just out of range of the watching cameras. All of a sudden, his smirk drops, and the look in his eyes is soulless and dead. “You tell me. Does this look real to you?”
A second later, the teasing grin is back up in full force, as if it had never left at all. “Don’t look so shocked, Y/N, we’re supposed to be having a fun conversation.”
You roll your eyes. “Alright, then. You’re unhappy. We all are, that’s no surprise. Name a single victor who’s ever been grateful to the Capitol for anything except that they don’t have to starve anymore.”
Finnick arches a brow. “I would have thought you’d be alright with the whole deal. Your singing gets you out of the less palatable uses for victors.”
You look away. “Yes, President Snow has an affinity for his songbirds. He enjoys dragging them out before crowds to hear their voice, but most of all, he likes to keep them in cages. At least you get to keep your secrets, Finnick. There is no part of me that isn’t on glaring display for everyone else to see.”
Finnick inclines his head solemnly. “I don’t think that’s true, though, is it? You know, they should be able to tell that your songs aren’t quite so pro-Capitol as they believe, but that isn’t the case. Not even Snow seems to have a problem with it.”
“Snow doesn’t have to know,” you shoot him a warning look, “and he won’t, will he?”
He just chuckles. “Relax, sweetheart. I’m not going to tell on you. That wouldn’t do well for my image, would it? I’m just glad to know that I’m not the only one here about to lose their minds.”
Out of some impulse you don’t think you could name if you tried, you reach out and place your hand gently on the balcony beside you. It’s close enough to Finnick that he could take your hand if he wanted to, and after a moment of staring, he does. 
“You’re not alone in this,” you whisper, and he nods.
“Neither are you.”
Thus begins what might be the happiest time of your life. Sure, you don’t have many good memories to compete with, but still. Finnick is at the Capitol almost as often as you are, and suddenly, your new songs start to have meanings outside of just tallying up the bodies you can’t stop seeing whenever you close your eyes.
You didn’t think you had it in you to love. You shouldn’t, at any rate, you’re more monster than man and have been for quite some time, but Finnick makes you believe that you could heal after all. There are conversations to be had in the midst of loud rooms when no one else can overhear, clandestine meetings skirting security cameras. Even as the 74th Hunger Games progress, the truth remains clear to you:  you love Finnick Odair, and he loves you.
The only problem is that you’re not the kind of person who can be loved half so easily at Finnick. You make a mistake soon enough in wanting to have more with Finnick than just secret conversations. There’s a gala to mark half the tributes killed, and both you and Finnick are invited, along with most of the other mentors and everybody who’s anybody in the Capitol.
One dance. That’s all it took to get on Snow’s radar. It was supposed to be nothing. Finnick had taken your hand and led you to the floor when a particularly good song started playing. You have long since accepted the fact that you would follow him anywhere, so you went with him. It was just a waltz. It should have been nothing out of the ordinary, you dance with other victors all the time.
The issue is that you don’t feel the same way about other victors as Finnick, and it showed. Suddenly, all the major news sources were talking about how Finnick Odair and Y/N L/N were definitely in love. Victors aren’t supposed to have feelings of their own, so President Snow’s claws latched around you with a fervor even more intense than usual.
Suddenly, everyone was talking about the fact that Snow might lose his favored songbird to the Capitol’s favorite victor from District Four. It’s a double loss for the Capitol, of course, not only would you be off the market forever but Finnick would be as well, at least for a month or two after the supposed future wedding.
Snow couldn’t have that, could he? Not when he seems obsessed with making sure that you, his chosen singer, would never truly be able to leave his clutches. There’s another story buried there, deep within the copper stained roses showing up mysteriously in your quarters and the scheduled appearances. Snow has not always won, but he’ll never lose again. He would sell anyone out to make sure of it.
To chase the news that you might love Finnick, Snow announced something far more grand within twenty-four hours of that ill-fated dance. All of a sudden, you weren’t in love with Finnick, you couldn’t possibly, because you were already engaged to a man you had never met. 
According to the news sources already salivating at the thought of a true love story, Umber Meadowberry is a wonderful man, but even the most delightful savior would forever be scarred in your eyes for one reason and one reason only:  he is not be Finnick Odair, and thus he is worthless to you.
Finnick tried to talk to you the second the news of your phony engagement came out, but all of a sudden the guards at your door were keeping adoring fans away and him as well. You tried to sneak out to find him, but no luck. You are being followed even more than you ever were.
You’re allowed one last performance before the wedding. The whole affair is terribly rushed, but anyone who dares comment on it suddenly goes missing or immediately starts talking about how they were wrong to ever doubt Snow’s choices. You go onto the stage dressed in white, and the entire audience rises to their feet to cheer. Who cares about Finnick, when you are now forever linked to one of them?
Your supposed fiance, Umber Meadowberry, is in the front row. He smiles at you, a greasy sort of smile that reeks of centuries of old family money and partners who had best sit down and shut up when they’re not on display. You will spend the rest of your life in a glass box, perfect for all who dare approach, then left cracked and bleeding when nobody can see.
Caesar Flickerman bounds over to you, grinning ear to ear so hard that it must hurt. He tells you that he’s bleached his hair in honor of your wedding festivities, and he gestures to it excitedly. Will you be singing your most popular song, he asks, the one about the boy in the meadow? Everyone knows it’s such a romantic song.
In truth, it’s about the last boy you killed, but only one Finnick has ever known that. They’ve dragged him here too, sat between two men who are definitely soldiers in case you try something. You lock eyes once with him, and see straight through the polished exterior to someone who has just had their life’s purpose dragged from him. Finnick nods once when he sees you looking. Whatever you need to do, he’s giving you permission to do it. Even if that involves marrying Umber Meadowberry to make sure you survive.
Instead, you turn to Caesar and say that you’re actually going to be playing a song that you wrote just last night. The man jumps into the air, clapping his hands together in sheer thrill. Everyone in the audience titters and whispers about what it could be about. Obviously, your fiance must be the topic, and you watch as he leans from one side to the other, shaking hands and receiving compliments on his upcoming trophy.
The music starts, and you begin to sing. This time, you don’t bother to hide the true message of the song beneath metaphors and figurative language. The story is plain and bare, yet somehow the most beautiful thing you’ve ever written in your life. Before your eyes, the Capitol audience quiets and grows cold as they realize the truth of what you’re saying.
The song itself is relatively simple. There’s a songbird, you sing, a caged bird who found love even when their hands were stained red with blood. They’ll do anything for that love, even if it was taken from them. Even something drastic, like cut out their own tongue to ensure that they would never sing for anyone but their love.
The song fades, and the eyes of the Capitol are upon you as you reach inside a jeweled pouch on your belt to draw out a small knife. You open your red-dyed lips and place the knife against your tongue. The message is obvious, and the audience rises to their feet in unison, clutching themselves with horror as they realize what it is that you mean to do.
The metal is cold against your mouth, but your resolve is firm. It is horrifying, but after all that you’d done in the arena, the Capitol should know that you’re not going to back down from a little blood. They made you a monster, and now they get to find out that their darling songbird has claws.
Just before you can start to cut, though, the background behind you changes from a view of Caesar desperately trying to stop the live footage to a scene of President Snow sitting at his desk. There’s a vial of white roses on the far corner of the mahogany, although you swear they’re not sitting in water, instead something shadowed and wine-dark.
He claps, slow applause ringing through the video. The Capitol residents in the audience look amongst themselves nervously, then start to clap as well at the sight of their beloved leader.
Snow allows the jubilation to continue for a full minute longer before he starts to speak. “What we have here is a beautiful display of love. Is that not what we treasure here in the Capitol, the dedication to do whatever it takes for those our hearts desire?”
He gestures to you, and you feel your blood run cold. You have forced his hand, and whatever Snow chooses to do will no doubt have consequences far more severe than one mere round in the arena.
However, Snow would do many things before he loses his songbird, and even allowing you to follow your heart is less damaging than having you cut out your music once and for all.
“I believe I speak for all of us when I say that I am impressed with Y/N’s spirit. For that reason, why not have a wedding after all? Our victors are dear to us in the Capitol, and there could be no greater union than between two of our favorite winners. I say now, let Y/N and Finnick wed. I look forward to seeing how they repay us for such an excellent opportunity.”
You slowly remove the knife from where it still presses against your lips, and stare at Finnick, who has risen to his feet across the crowded amphitheater. He looks just as terrified as you, but slowly, surely, he starts to smile. Yes, there will be consequences. There always are. For now, though, you have Finnick at last, and he is all that you have ever needed.
requested by @zaypay, i hope you enjoy!

I kinda realised that Mr Komos' song, True Monster Heart follows the same beat as the Monster High Fright song, but the lyrics are like the corrupted version of the original.
Monster High Fright is about accepting
True Monster Heart is about rejecting
Kinda interesting when you think about it
AHHHHHH WHEN I SAW I GOT AN ASK RELATED TO THIS I FREAKED OUT DFGHNBGVFDSF TY FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING TO RAMBLE SOME MORE ABOUT ANON FOR REAL! (Also sorry for the late response, this post has been developing in my drafts for like at least a week now dfgfhng)
I absolutely agree with the conflicting messages between the two songs! I know the song focuses on the story of this universe's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the main verses, but the main focus of the song is that message of rejection of anything and everything human.
Also, because of the Jekyll/Hyde bits, it could represent the duality of where the story starts and ends in its interpretation of a "true monster heart." Instead of Mr. Hyde's human-ness making his heart "untrue," it was his utter rejection of & research into ridding himself of his Jekyll, as well as his hiding of the truth in the first place that caused him to be found out and exiled.
His heart being "untrue" had nothing to do with the fact he was half-human, because if it were, then Clawdeen and Komos's presence in and of itself within the school would've triggered its self-destruction. That was proven as a false interpretation by the story in the movie, so it's self-explanatory. A true monster heart is one of self-acceptance, despite one's flaws or differences. That's what Mr. Hyde, and Mr. Komos thereafter, had neglected to realize before Clawdeen proved the point.
Though, I've listened to both True Monster Heart and Fright Song a few times back-to-back, to try and get where you're thinking as far as the beat, but I don't hear it unfortunately (unless you meant the tempo of the song, then yes they do follow the same 120 beats per minute!).
The closest thing I can think of as far as melodic parallels between the songs is the chanting sections. The Fright Song chant is much quicker in the way it's sung compared to the chant in True Monster Heart, however. The whole of Fright Song's chant goes in 16 beats/4 measures, whereas True Monster Heart's chant takes twice as long at 32 beats/8 measures (I was a band/choir kid lol). It's mainly due to how the song kinda drags out the point, and it definitely feels like a nod to Fright Song for sure. Fright Song's chant is only there because 4/5 of the main ghouls were fearleaders, so it was sort of characterizing the cast before actually showing their characters in the webisodes.
---
Fun little headcanon/ramble that I forget if I ever mentioned about Fright Song, but with Holt Hyde being released in the 1st Signature wave with the rest of the the main ghouls and all, I think it was because he's intended to be the singer of the rap section before any subsequent content with the character was released (No offense but I don't think Holt DJs because he's a good singer sdfgbfds). This would line up with his current crush in canon with Frankie, as well as his former crush on Draculaura from either the diaries or books, maybe both? I forget. :'D Also I feel like Holt wouldn't hesitate to call Cleo vile immediately after saying she's charming either, he's very direct with his words. (I also interpret Jackson/Holt as bisexual because Deuce is included in the rap I DON'T CARE Y'ALL IT MAKES SENSE!)
Also I always interpreted the howl-like sound at the end of the rap as "Holt ran outta time/battery power for his music and transforms back to Jackson as it transitions to the rest of the song." It kinda works with how the beat kinda drops down with the howl, like a TV being shut off or something idk.
Ghoulia also debuted with Signature Wave 1 but she's only in like a second of the music video in the background, I figure it could've been budgetary reasons for the animation, to save on animating an extra character. Also I imagine flame-y hair wouldn't be very fun to animate in 2D, and Deuce's snakes moving on their own were bad enough I imagine to animate, so it begrudgingly checks out as to why Holt isn't in the animated bits with everyone else.
BUT I JUST WATCHED THE MUSIC VIDEO BECAUSE I WANTED TO FOR THE SAKE OF THIS POST AND THE GUY SINGING THE RAPPING BIT HAS, YOU GUESSED IT, A BRIGHT FRICKIN NEON RED LEATHER JACKET. He doesn't have the dual-toned shirt BUT IT'S WHITE AND THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME Y'ALL! XD

Mikunology Reviews: Boku wa Hatsune Miku to Kiss wo Shita (2013) (Pt.2)
Tumblr media
Alright, here we are with Part 2, where I will chat about the album's second half! Let's get to it!
Part 1 here
Ii, Er Fanclub: I think anyone who vaguely knows of Mikito has heard this one, if it's not ROKI. XD This is another more goofy, fun track about Rin and Gumi being fans of Chinese culture. And I love it! It's a great song, the back-and-forth between Rin and Gumi is so fun to sing along to - the inclusion of actual Chinese words is really fun as well. The drums are great here too. There's not really much I can say on this one that isn't just regular praise?? I highly recommend checking out it's PV by the wonderful Yori and Ryuusee! (Actually, I do have one comment I want to make: unpopular opinion, but I like this original Rin & Gumi version a lot more over Giga's Miku & Len mix. The goofy charm of the original song just jives with me more, although Giga's tuning is stellar.)
Wednesday Blue: This is another remaster, this time of one of Mikito's much older Miki originals. This is more typical rock'n'roll-style track, and it's a bit noisier than Mikito's usual fare. Unfortunately, I do think it's my least favorite on this album: it's a bit…all-over-the-place, compared to Mikito's later work? The Miki vocals are clearer and a bit better than the original NND upload, but they're still notably clunky in some places which can kinda take me out of the song. That said, the song as a whole isn't bad or anything, and it's actually pretty catchy after a few listens - it's just kinda clear this song was written by a less experienced Mikito. (Not to poke fun - everyone starts somewhere!)
Setsuna Plus (Momentary Plus): And here we are, back to Miku Dark again. This song is a bit more abstract in terms of lyrics, I think, but I still find myself coming back to it. There's not much I can say about this one either, honestly? Other than that it's good and that I like it - it has that usual great atmosphere again. However, I do have a slight criticism, I think - as much as I love the way Miku sounds here, I think this song could have done with a bit more powerful vocal instead, after hearing a few covers with characters like Amaga Eru (who can be pretty loud in her base voicebank).
Sarishinohara (Distant Fields): I remember not being too keen on this track at first for some reason? I don't know what was up with me because this song is really lovely XD This is a rock song about the forbidden love between a boy and his best friend and classmate, who has become an idol (and since idols can't date, she can no longer see him). There's such a tragic, melancholic feel to this song that really gets across the pain the boy is in, both in that he can no longer be with the girl despite her being "everywhere", in a sense, both in the instruments and in Miku Dark's vocals. Personally, I find this to be my favorite in the "Sarishinohara" trilogy, since 1) I think the melody is a bit easier to get into compared to the others and 2) just the sheer vibes.
Secret DVD: Ah, this one…the spicy one. A more straightforward rock track with a bit more "vanilla" Miku voice instead of Miku Dark, about doing sexy things. I actually like this one quite a bit despite the mature subject matter - it is pretty catchy, and the guitars are really good here. There's a part in the second verse where there's a harp-like strum and it's really satisfying. I also gotta say, something I always appreciated about Mikito's more sexual songs is that they're usually written in a manner that actually makes the act sound romantic rather than…well, you know. XD (*looks at REOL and Umetora*) I recommend this one for the music alone even if you're not into the song lyrically.
Salad Banya Cauda: Now for something completely different! XD This is one of the very few completely album-exclusive tracks, since I believe all of the tracks on this list have been released with PVs with the exception of this and Gariben Hirose no Shouri. This isn't really a rock track at all - it's a cute little folksy-type song with more acoustic instruments and simple Miki vocals (with the exception of some electric guitar between verses). I like it, though! It's a cute song, it makes you feel like marching through some sunny trees to find some berries or some adventure. However, I do think it can come as a surprise given the vibe of literally everything else. I think you might enjoy it, still!
Gariben Hirose no Shouri (A Geek's Huge Victory): OK, back to rock - this is the other completely album-exclusive track, and honestly? I've come to like it quite a bit. It has that signature nice Mikito J-rock vibe, with some lovely Gumi tuning to go with it. There's not much I can say about it that I haven't said for other songs on this CD, though? Just more of the same good stuff, I suppose. XD However, I really like the end part, where Gumi starts singing some "lalala"'s - something I like about Mikito's rock songs is that some of them feel like they could be played at the end of movies or as ending themes to anime episodes, and this is definitely one such song with the way it plays out.
Sayoko: Ah, this is another famous one. Sayoko is a soft J-rock track about severe depression, and once again uses Miku Dark - I think this is a really brilliant use of her, though, it really fits the song's theme since Miku sounds so melancholic and tired here. The melody is again a bit more understated, but it also really fits. I'm running out of things to say about the music itself XD I really think this song has a great calming vibe to it, despite the sad lyrics…I think someone could find it a great comfort, especially if you relate (like me!).
kiss: Finally, the last track, and the single collaboration on this CD: featuring the great Vocarock producer keeno! Together, he and Mikito form Mikeeno! (I love it when producers do that.) Predictably given their respective work, this is a slow, calm rock ballad about love. Now, I'm not the hugest fan of rock ballads? But I really love this one: the lyrics are really sweet and wistful, the lead guitar is perfect and Miku Dark returns to the gentle sound usually associated with both these producers. If you really like songs like "glow" or the slower songs I've already talked about on this album, you'll definitely love "kiss".
And that, my pals, is the whole CD! Yeah, all in all, for a first album, I think this is an amazing start for Mikito-san and an absolute must-listen if you are an enjoyer of Vocarock. Sure, he isn't the hard-rocking 164 or Utsu, but the soft and atmospheric yet fun and lively tunes by Mikito are incredibly worth hearing. Thanks for reading my first album review, please let me know if you enjoyed it ;v;
now if only I could get this album physically orz

Random hcs I have because I may be cringe but I'm free part 26 (Ninjago, again)
My Ninja singing hcs cuz I love music and singing and I think the sillies would too.
When it comes to Cole, there are only two ways the hc can go, either you think he's terrible, like in the oni trilogy, or he's a wonderful singer with a beautiful natural voice and the technique to match, who just doesn't know what to do with that stupid Gloworm song (I mean COME ON, he went to the Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts ffs). I choose to believe in the latter. Whatever you choose he is still vastly better at dancing than singing.
Kai actually has a pretty great (and fittingly, very powerful) voice and he could be amazing if he ever decided to take actual lessons, but he couldn't care less. What he's interested in, and therefore weirdly good at, is distortion. Growls, vocal fry, screams, even just regular old belting, anything that would push anybody else's voice to its limits, he can do it all and does so willingly and extremely well. (Cole is lowkey jealous)
Jay can SING omg (when he's actually trying anyway). Jay's the kind of guy who has a wonderful (and surprisingly powerful) natural voice without any kind of lessons or training but if he isn't focusing on/into the song or doesn't really care abt how he sounds then it just sounds like talking/shouting. But when he's alone, or listening to smth he really likes, or deliberately trying to impress, bro sounds ANGELIC (Cole and Kai are BOTH jealous of this one(and this one kinda feeds into my Japanese Jay hc but my brain decided that when he's doing more hardcore stuff, he sounds like mafumafu))
Once again, this one was hard because Zane only ever sings with the help of some kind of nindroid shenanigans, so I dont have a lot to go off of but I'm happy with what I came up with so 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, Zane's normal speaking voice is really clear and smooth and slightly accented and wonderful and he has perfect understanding of music theory and all the technical aspects of making a voice sound pleasant and musical, and he sounds really good when he hums, and he's got the technique DOWN, but his voice just always sounds weird somehow, so whenever he wants to sing along to smth and sound a certain way while doing it, he'll just replace his own voice with the original vocalists or another generated voice that he thinks sounds good. He still has an absolute blast though.
It is a rare and I mean RARE occurrence to hear Lloyd sing and 99% of the time someone does manage to pick up his voice, he sounds slightly below average, even if he's actually putting in some effort for once. But that ultra rare 1%, when someone manages to overhear him late at night, almost silently raiding the cupboards for candy as he quietly sings the softest, sweetest, and most comforting melodies to ever be given lyrics, then he sounds pretty wonderful. Don't let that fool you though, it's his comfort zone for a reason.
Like her brother, Nya has a pretty awesome natural voice, but, also like her brother, she doesn't really care for "normal" singing. She tends to lean more towards rapping, usually resulting in her unconsciously putting more energy into rap segments than the rest of the song, and the rest of the team. However, she absolutely ADORES hearing the others sing, especially Jay "What? He just has a nice voice. It has absolutely nothing to do with our relationship, no way". Its like she can sense whenever Cole and Jay are having another random duet and she always manages to "coincidentally" appear before the song ends.
Pixal was originally programmed by Cyrus Borg to have a lovely, gentle, mother-like singing voice, and she definitely appreciates it (its surprisingly come in handy on quite a few missions) but she finds it just a little too different from her normal speaking voice for her to get totally into it. She usually prefers to stay away from vocals anyway, finding that she has more fun tapping her fingers or toes or even just making percussive mouth sounds to the rhythm of whatever's playing (and these days, she's kinda hesitant to even do that, ever since Zane accidentally let it slip that he thinks its "positively adorable")

Hello Hello! I know it's been a while but I was wondering if you could have the lyrics and maybe the instrumental of the song that Asha sings in the square to help her people (if you don't want that's fine... I'm studying and I started listening to some songs to inspire me and I remembered about this scene in your rewrite and I started to imagine your rewrite as a 2D animation of the classic Disney and I wondered what this scene would be like heheh) if you don't mind too... I also wanted to know what your favorite foods are of your characters in the rewrite (asha, magnificent, amaya, and the 7 teenagers), you could also say what the 7 teenagers like to do alone/ their hobbies. Well, that's what I wanted to ask about your rewrite, sorry if it was a lot of questions, I'm LOVING everything about your rewrite♡ ten thousand times better than Disney's wish😤 anyway, thanks for the rewrite and stay well and drink water hahaha😁😋
Unfortunately I don't have lyrics for that song yet, it would take me a lot of time that I don't have yet to work on creating it, maybe once I'm done with the whole rewrite I can try coming up with something since that song IS very important to the narrative, and currently all we have is "It's an inspiring song about fighting to achieve what you wish for no matter if all the odds are against you" that so happens to have a few references to past Disney I want songs.
Though... After listening to this deleted scene
youtube
I'm considering making "A Wish Worth Making" THE song, or at least a place holder for now. It's surprisingly fitting. However, my idea was for the song to be like a story that Sabino told her, since ya know, he couldn't sing nor play the mandolin because that was his wish that Magnifico kept from him... So I'm undecided.
Anyway, now for the favorite meals part, that sounds fun, and helps me explore the national heritages of each one of the characters, so let's do this:
Asha
Her favorite food is Mhalbi with pistachios, a milk pudding from Algeria. Her mother was Amazigh, and she taught this traditional recipe to her husband and Sabino. After she passed Sabino would still make it for Asha, it's a little piece of her culture that is very sweet and easy to make, she has a bit of a sweet tooth.
Tumblr media
Dahlia
Dahlia is a special case since her family has been robbed of their passion for their traditional cuisine, if originally her mother and father wished for things along the lines of "We want to share our culture through our food" the king changed that to them just cooking what he liked. Sooo she has no connection to Japanese food. But, hypothetically, if she did grow up with her parents acting normally, her favorite meal would be Takoyaki, a savory dish of grilled balls of batter made with flour and eggs filled with octopus chunks and other ingredients.
Tumblr media
Gabo
The name "Gabo" has German origins, so I decided Gabo's family comes from Germany. His favorite dessert is a bienenstich kuchen, also known as "bee sting cake", I think it's fitting because Gabo is always acting like he just got stung by a bee. But besides his rough exterior he has a soft spot for sweets.
Tumblr media
Simon
Simon's last name is O'Donohue, which is a name of Irish and Gaelic origins, also the name means Dark Fighter... Interesting. Anyway, so his family is descended from Irish people, thus I choose that his favorite food is a traditional Irish Colcannon, a flavorful dish of mashed potatoes and greens like sauteed kale, and green onions. Quite easy too make and eat for a sleepy head like him.
Tumblr media
Bazeema
I've mentioned in my blog about the 7 teens that Bazeema is muslim and wears a hijab (As she did in some concept arts... But Disney changed that, cause they're stupid) so her favorite food is a Palestinian lady cheeks... heheh get it? Because Bazeema blushes a lot?... Anyway this is a traditional dessert are like made with orange blossom water, cinnamon quill, caster sugar and other sweet ingredients, sweet just like her.
Tumblr media
Hal
I saw on twitter that Hal's earrings resemble "Jaaro dibbei" earrings from the Fulani people, a West African tribe. So I picked a traditional meal from west Africa. Kedjenou, this dish consists of a spicy stew that is slow-cooked in a terracotta pot over fire or coals. Hal is more into spicy food, matches her fiery passion.
Tumblr media
Safi
Safi is a name of Arabic origins. His favorite dessert is Mamoul, a traditional arabic cookie, made with yeasted semolina, these vanilla and rose-infused cookies are sweet and floral with a decadent and robust centre, and although they look like they'd make Safi sneeze like crazy, they're one of the only meals that don't make him sneeze at all.
Tumblr media
Dario
Dario is an Italian name. So I picked gnocchi because SAME! Gnocchi is my comfort food too and I'm not even Italian, Dario is just like me for real.
Tumblr media
... *siiiiiigh* I was dreading getting to them... Here we go:
Magnifico and Amable
The blood of their enemies Just kidding, I'm giving them both the same favorite food because honestly these two have so much in common they might as well be the same character (Also it's currently 1 am as I'm writing this, I must go to bed.) so let's wrap this up. Their favorite dessert is Spanish Baked Apples, get it? Like the poisoned apple from Snow White? HAHAHAHA- Actually come to think of it their favorite meal might be children's tears, idk.
Tumblr media
WOOOOO okay this was a wild ride, researching and learning about all these meals was really fun! Thank you for the ask!
(Also I just now realized you also asked for their hobbies... I'll try answering that another time, cause' like I said, I gotta go to sleep lol)
Aster has no favorite food yet by the way, because he can't even taste food, but comment what meal you think would be his favorite if they were human.

Voice (and singing) headcanons for the Chain:
Sky - That’s All I’ve Got to Say (Jeff Bridges)
The voice and melody have a bit more of an old timey, wispy, fantasy sound to it. Perfect for Sky imo.
Warriors - Bràighe Loch Iall (Joseph McCluskey, I think) OR Maestranza (Robin Pecknold)
Scottish Wars, ok. I read this in a few fics and it has gripped me. Scottish Wars! I think he should have a heavy accent. And also a clear and powerful singing voice. In this song the male voice comes in about 1:30~
The second choice is a fleet foxes song because I love their music and listening to this one I just thought the voice fit too! But still leaning more towards the first one
Time - Kiri (Anis Shimada) OR Stray (Steve Conte)
Kinda gritty? Guys I don’t know how to describe voice quality ok, just trust me on this
Stray is one of my favorite songs everyone go watch Wolf's Rain and cry with me. I also think a bunch of the lyrics fit Time as a fun little bonus
Hyrule - Answer (Will South) OR Strangers (Raj Ramayya)
A clear and slightly softer voice that can hit those high notes, but still very masculine? Lol
This one is more androgynous I think. Androgynous but still boyish
Wind - Chug Jug With You (Leviathan) OR Brazil (Declan McKenna)
I know what you're thinking. The fortnite parody? Yes, the fortnite parody! I believe Leviathan was 13 when he made the song so its PERFECT. Don't tell me Wind wouldn't play fortnite. I also can't think of any other songs sung by this age group lol
This second one is maybe an older Wind. I think he's still got some crackly aspect to his voice. Originally this was going to be listed first before I realized a 12-13 does NOT sound like this
Wild - Beautiful Soul (Jesse McCartney)
I was half asleep when I chose this but trust me. It came to me in a vision. The more I listen to it the more perfect it is.
Four - Kimi ni Todoke (Tomofumi Tanizawa)
An even, calm, and smooth voice, if not a little soft spoken
Twilight - Oaths (Gary Sun) OR Clock Strikes (Takahiro Moriuchi)
The first one I feel more strongly about but second works too? I can't decide
Legend - Feels Like End - (Mikky Ekko) OR Regression - (Ayunga)
I couldn't really decide on voice but damn both these songs are sad lol. The important point is he can hit those high emotional notes
What do you think? I feel most strongly about Sky, Wars, and Time, but the others are a toss up.

the mutual question was fun. if your mutuals performed an original boys planet song from artist battle or finale which songs do you think your mutuals will suit
hi anon,
thanks for the question and once again, i'm sorry for taking a while to reply. this was even harder than the last question i answer lmao. anyways, once again, these are just my impressions from less than a month, just looking at their Tumblr blog and what vibes each song gives me. my answers probably don't make sense and i definitely repeated myself from last question but that's just how i feel you know. my blog my rules. also this is all for funniez.
Tumblr media
Here I Am - @gnwookieee 🌟
I recently started reading rose's works yesterday (just the parts for the hyung line) and wooow, it's sooo goooood. I also talked to her and she just has the positive glow about her (kind of like a star hihi) that I can't quite explain. She's so quite bright too (hihihi) literally.
Tumblr media
Switch - @partiallyderived 👾
I saw some people on the Internet that this song was boring (?) and weird, but I personally like it. And it's not "weird," it's interesting 😌 That's how I feel about dor. Just like the song, I think she's really fun to talk and seems super interesting. I also love how her brain works. Also she gives me a little of chaotic vibes (in a VERY good way) BUUUTT I 🫶 IT.
Tumblr media
Supercharger - @y--eontan 🔌
You know how haruto thought the lyrics was "Sipping Chocolate" instead of "Super Charger" when he first heard the song...that's i feel about how to write her name/url (lmao). Specifically, she makes me think of this part. I also feel like she would be lit to be around (lol). Just look at the content in her Tumblr blog.
Tumblr media
Over Me - @zerobaseonefics 🚨
venom tuts (that's awkward she does not tut but she wacks which makes this even better but she's multi-talented so im sure she can tut too), she reminds me of Zhang Hao the most out of all my moots, and there's a tutting part during the dance break. The performance of this song kind of shocked me (in a good way) and honestly every time I learn more about her, I just go like 🫢😧😳😱🤯 I just feel amazed by her presence. All the feels I get from this song.
Tumblr media
Say My Name - @keiwook 💌
faith is always soo cheerful and sweet when I interact with her 💖 I see her regularly engaging with a lot of people in the community (or at least within my "orbit" hihihi). I'm not sure why but she gives me fun youth energy and makes me smile when I see her pop up. Also, I think she's adorable.
Tumblr media
En Garde - @cherriegyu ⚔️
When cherrie writes something on Tumblr or when I talk to her, I either smile, laugh, or am just shocked (in a different way from venom...I don't know how to explain lmao). A classy but a baddie type of person? P.S love her responses to anons sending her hate. Go wreck them like a wrecking ball.
Tumblr media
Jelly Pop - @boysplanetmorelike 🎆
I'm not sure why but kara gives me like cool, fresh vibes. Also, she's soooo sweet based on how I talk to her but there's also a hint of spice from time to time 😂 I'm sorry, I don't know how the explain the spice part. Maybe her edits for her spicier works?
Tumblr media
Hot Summer - @yunacoeur 🔥
You know the part where Taerae goes 널 보면 맘이 (맘이) getting hot (getting hot). It's soooo freaking addicting and I could listen to it ALLL day (just like I can spend all day talking and interacting with her). And yeah, when I see you (em), my heart (my heart) getting (getting) hot.
Tumblr media
Not Alone - @haesunflower 🌌
When I talk to tee, it reminds me a warm cup of tea (LOOOL). Like her blog, she kind of gives me soft and comforting vibes. The lyrics are also super meaningful and the overall song for me is easy to listen to just like how I find it super easy to talk to her and once again, love our insightful convos.

Obey me! Brothers as songs in my 300+ track spotify playlist.
(Based on both: meaning and vibes.)
(A lot of Mitski songs, unsurprisingly for me)
Lucifer
My body's made of crushed little stars
by Mitski
Of course I had to have something with stars in it...
Cannot say that the meaning fully fits him, rather the desperation in the vocals does. Also I feel like it covers his workaholism a little.
Regret message
by Mothy (AkunoP)
This one is a little cheaty from me, since it is from the Evillious Cronicles, which also have the 7 deadly sins (and this song is from the pride arc), but I just couldn't leave it out. Reflecting on stuff you had done blinded by your selfish desires is so Lucifer.
SCARLET OBSTACLE -Shriek of the Melodies-
by Zemeth
This one is more vibes based. Since it is mentioned that besides classical music Lucifer likes metal of some kind, I had found a combo of both. I really enjoy this genre hehe
Mammon
Stop Nagging Me!
by Owata-P
The whole song is about constantly getting criticized for everything you do, having all your mistakes pointed out, being the scapegoat and taking it all, letting it happen untill you're absolutely sick of it.
This song is so Mammon I don't know if I can even put it into words. Seriously, go read it's translation on vocaloid lyrics wiki.
You're a Useless Child
by Kikuo
A song where you're told that you are worthless and unable to do anything properly.
I think this needs no explanation.
YKWIM?
by Yot Club
I think that this one shows him, probably, considering himself annoying. Especially in
"Sometimes it seems like I'm in your way"
line.
Leviathan
INTERNET YAMERO
by KOTOKO, Aiobahn
Ah yes, Needy Streamer Overload, the most Levi game in existence (to me ofc). The tune itself reminds me of him a lot. He probably would be a Kangel fan.
Better Than Me
by The Brobecks
Inferiority complex: the song. It is literally in the title.
I Feel Bad
by I Hate Myself Because
A song about being conflicted whether or not you can handle company of a certain person and fearing loneliness.
Satan
Yukiko-san
by Midori
The lyrics might not particularly make sense to me, but the vocals and music just scream Satan. Especially "Destroy!" lines. To me it seems like something he would listen to while trying to cope with his rage.
Ussewa
by Ado, syudou
The song is originally about Japan's corporate culture, but with Ado's incredible vocals and overall sarcastic, furious and mocking tone of the song it fits him quite well in my opinion.
Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
by Set if Off
I feel like he'd enjoy this song. It's overall nature fits Satan's untrusting worldview. He would, perhaps, dedicate the very last verse of it to a certain demon...
Asmodeus
Brand New City
by Mitski
"But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive..."
FVN!
by LVL1
It's just a chill song about having fun and s3x in the car, literally. With it's overall sounding, I think it not only fits Asmo by vibe, but also is something he'd listen to.
Primadonna
by MARINA
A song about craving attention, staying in the spotlight, getting all you want, but being unhappy deep down, since all this masquerade is to fill the void.
Beelzebub
Francis Forever
by Mitski
I feel like the general theme of this song fits him the best. Someone is gone from your life and now it seems empty, as if there is no point in doing things, since the person won't see it.
Close to You
by niki
As the description states:
"The song is about watching someone's lover die in front of them with a smiling face, and how they mourn and try to accept their death."
But I feel like you can interpret the figure of lover as a different, non-romantic close person.
Servant of Evil
by Mothy (AkunoP)
Yes, another song from the Evillious Cronicles. I can't resist it, sorry.
The plot of the song is a brother sacrificing a lot (including his own life) for his twin sister. The ending of this song is him literally going to execution instead of his sister by switching places and clothes, since they're identical twins.
Belphegor
Child Psychology
by Black Box Recorder
This is more vibe oriented pick, but some of the lyrics might fit him. The overall blunt, uninterested tone of the vocals seems very much him.
Let's Take Some Medicine and Go to Sleep
by Mochiutsune
The song's main point is probably about escapism through sleep. Whenever talking about any kind of problem the narrator decides to take some meds and go to sleep, just like the title states.
I Hate Everyone but You
by Elita
This one is about constantly being tired to the point of staying in bed all day and being criticised on it in the past, yet now there's a person who understands you and it doesn't bother them. While you'd grown resentful towards every other person ever, this one is fine.
Thanks for reading this mess!
