Yeah, I agree with you! Him doing the whale was incredibly stupid and I cringed so bad seeing people excited about it 😭 And yeah, idk it all just sucks now because most times Harry just seems entirely disconnected. I know some people think that artists don’t exactly owe their fans, but I believe that to some extent, they do. He hasn’t even managed to do the bare minimum. Its also changed his fanbase immensely - the crowds are SO different nowadays. Barely any flags, but that’s a whole other thing. Tour shouldn’t even be happening. I could rant about it forever but skjdsjdk whatever.

It’s a shame about your Larry fic! The decision is 100% up to you and your thoughts are 100% valid. I hope you know, though, that if you ever do end up finishing it, you’d definitely have an audience dying to read it! Your fics are truly some of the best <3

Sorry for the lengthy message, but can I ask - what happened to Maybe if I got my Timing Right? I was gonna go reread it, but it says its unrevealed :(

Yeah, I genuinely felt sick when I saw the video. I can’t believe that people were excited about him doing it and were just happy he was on tour. He really should’ve cancelled…I saw someone already got covid from his Las Vegas show.

No i agree! People think artists don’t owe their fans but they do to some extent, seeing as we’re the ones paying his salary? He has a shitload of money because fans continuously buy and support his music. I’m not even asking him to be super connected, just interact with fans every once in a while, send some messages that he appreciates our love and support. He’s walking around like we mean shit all to him, gallivanting all over and not wearing a mask only coming on to ask us to pay for his music or his tour. It’s so insane. As a fan, I feel so damn used. like paying for his shit isn’t fun anymore.

Yeah the crowd is a little…different nowadays. I mean the flags are one thing but it’s just. Idk. I look at him and I do not recognize the 16 year old baker boy from Cheshire anymore. Like I barely even know this guy…and his team being all insensitive (shout out to Harry lambert who seems more concerned about harry’s tour looks than people dying)….he’s really locked himself in an echo chamber with people who has him up and let him think he’s right when he really isn’t. Nfjdjdjd yeah I could rant forever too but. sigh.

Thank you!!! I really do want to finish it, like. It’s literally only lacking an estimated 10k words but I just cant muster up the strength to. I always wrote my fics from a place of love and right now with the way Harry is it’s just hard to find that love for him again…and I also keep getting distracted by my BTS ship 🤣 but thank you for your kind words about my fics!!!! I’m really glad they still resonate with people!!! I hope they can bring some comfort during these uncertain times!

Re: maybe if I got my timing right—uh, so. I had a moment a few weeks back where I just. couldn’t bear the sight of the fic? not for any particular reason, but just because the fic reminds me of when I was ridiculously depressed in 2018 to the point that I was crying on the lobby of my uni building. I dunno if I ever shared this part about it, but finishing the fic at the time had been a triumph (I was so depressed you would not even believe) but seeing it now gives me all mixed feelings because like on one hand WOW I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT on the other hand I keep getting reminded of my pathetic state hahaha. (Not that depression is pathetic in any way, just. I hated being that sad and vulnerable and I hate that I’ve sort of immortalized my sadness in fic). So yeah. I hid it. I was contemplating deleting it but like I said I did work hard on it and it was a triumph at the time….and I thought no one would notice it being gone 😅

#asks #anonymous #yeah so that’s what happened to the fic #I love it so much but I also hate it so much and it’s just this weird mixture of emotions whenever I see it #and it was really bothering me…….#because I know to everyone it’s just fic but to me it’s like this one depressed fic in between my two happy fics.

Greysnow with the questions on 002 and Theon with the questions in 003

Hey nonnie, thanks so much for the ask!

I'm sitting at work, which is a museum, and there's absolutely ZERO tourists coming and I'm bored out of my mind. You're saving me ❤️

Warning for extra long post and I'm on my phone and can't put it under a cut (it just doesn't work no matter what I try)

002 - Send me a ship and I will tell you:

• when I started shipping them

On August 07, 2017. That was the day I watched the episode The Spoils of War, and saw Jon and Theon's reunion at Dragonstone. Hit me like the mother of all tanks.

• my thoughts

In that moment? Uncoherent lol I just started bawling and couldn't figure out why 🙈 it was just so. there they were, after all that's happened to them and so much in common and so much separating them, and Theon goes, Jon, and my heart just exploded idk... Jon's look was so. Pain and anger and in my warbled mind something else too that I can't put into words. I just thought omg they belong together.

• what makes me happy about them

they have both been through so much and came out of it not only alive, but stronger. i'm not comparing their respective journeys - not comparable at all - but both are so incredibly resilient, such survivors (i'm yet again ignoring season 8) and there's so much potential for them (even in canon imo) to become something like at least allies, have someone in each other they can lean onto for support, share memories with... i know i know it's never going to happen, but a girl can dream :)

• what makes me sad about them

that they've lost so many opportunities back in winterfell. they could've been friends. theon was too jealous and flippant and arrogant, jon too stubborn and moody and well. also jealous. these idiots.

• things done in fanfic that annoy me

when Theon is only interested in Jon as a substitute for Robb, or to make Robb jealous. Any "greysnow" story that is really about throbb tbh. if you want throbb, make throbb, but leave jon out of it. i srsly despair when theon hooks up with both and in the end jon is left hanging. i love going ot3 though! (if it's a fair ot3, and not throbb with a sidesnack jon) ok sorry sorry it's a pet peeve i could rant about all day 🙈

• things I look for in fanfic

i don't care much about grammar or punctuation when reading fic. what i want from a greysnow fic is basically: it should be in a language i can understand. it shouldn't be too wildly OOC. it should contain actual greysnow (you'd be surprised 😂) and end happily or at the very least hopefully for them together.

• my wishlist

all of it. i'm serious, give me all the greysnow possible. happy or at least hopeful endings a must tho, because I can't bear anything else, I'm such a wuss

• who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other

In a non-canon world, and if being together was impossible (which it never is in my non-canon worlds lol) I'd say Theon with Robb and Jon with Ygritte. In a canon world I'd just want peace and quiet for both of them, if not together then for each in their own way.

• my happily ever after for them

growing old together and bitching at each other in between sappily romantic moments 😁

003 - Give me a character and I will tell you:

• How I feel about this character

i'm giving you the tl;dr right away or this would bust the seams of this already WAY too long post. I LOVE THEON. everything about him. with all my heart. with all my soul. i think about him WAY too often, i randomly cry about him way too often. i have way too much merchandise. and guess what? it's nowhere near enough 😬

• Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character

erm... Jon 😅

i do like me a bit of throbb sometimes, when Jon is happily engaged elsewhere

• My favourite non-romantic relationship for this character

Theon&Sansa. I absolutely love when they're besties (romantic Theonsa is my absolute NoTP)

Theon&Asha/Yara are my fave too, love them greyjoy siblings

• My unpopular opinion about this character

i do think Theon did betray - not the Starks as a house, or someone he owes allegience (he doesn't), but Robb. Who trusted and loved Theon like a brother (yesyesyes) and who Theon swore his sword to (now and always, anyone?). i do think Theon betrayed two young boys, not because they are Starks but because they were children who never thought he would harm them. i do think his childhood/upbringing explains a lot. but it doesn't automatically excuse everything. what does, imo, is Theon knowing what he did is horrible. Him owning up to it.

• One thing I wish would happen/have happened with this character in canon

show canon - do i need to say it? HE SHOULD HAVE LIVED!!! he should've had the opportunity to become happy ffs. he could've had so much more life and love and peace and GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

book canon - oh god if GRRM kills Theon i swear i will riot. Let the man atone for his perceived sins, as he himself sees it, by doing something, not by senselessly/"heroically" making him into cannon fodder for ANYONE ok

• favourite friendship for this character

Theon and Sansa!

• my crossover ship

hahaha ok i'm not really into crossovers, but i do wonder what would happen if you put teenage theon, teenage draco malfoy and teenage loki into a locked room. an orgy or a massacre, is my guess.

#anon ask #theon greyjoy #jon snow #greysnow #snowjoy #long post #really long post

BnHA Chapter 031: Just How Many Kids Am I Gonna Have to Adopt

Previously on BnHA: Bakugou went on a roaring rampage of revenge. The once-mighty class B ate some humble pie and got shut out of the finals. Tokoyami was the fucking MVP and kept Team Deku’s hopes alive at the last second. Todoroki used his Arm That Reminds Him of His Dad Who He Hates for a half second and had instant angst. He, Deku, Baku, and the mind control guy with purple hair advanced to the final round along with their teammates. Todo and Deku went off to have a private chitchat while their dads met up in a random hallway.

Today on BnHA: Todoroki thinks All Might is Deku’s dad (but is he wrong?). He then tells Deku all about his dad, who is terrible. And his childhood, which is also terrible. And his scar, which, you guessed it -- terrible. All Might and Endeavor have their own separate conversation during which Endeavor is, wait for it... terrible. Deku has no idea how to respond to any of this, so he affectionately declares war. Bakugou listens in on the whole thing because of course he does. I basically lose all of my shit and then some and I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 68 now, so any ETAs will reflect that. Although there is one ETA here that was written the day after I read the chapter and is noted as such.)

well hello there Todoroki! are you about to become my third adopted son from this series, because it’s getting a bit crowded tbh. but you’re all good boys, so. it’s hard to say no to you

finally some more info about this guy!

his mouth is relatively ill-mannered? I haven’t gotten that vibe from him

(ETA: and I still haven’t? like is he using the wrong kind of keigo or something and I just never noticed or what)

Todoroki’s burn scar: dot dot dot. except that this is one of the few things I think I might have accidentally spoiled myself for, because there was a gif making the rounds a while back that I happened to see accidentally. which is my own damn fault, and it’s not like it’s other people’s job to keep me from getting spoiled. if anything this taught me to take extra care now that I’m at the point where I know and recognize the majority of the cast, and am thus more potentially spoiler-literate than I was before

anyway

(ETA: haha so let me just explain here. I actually was not spoiled, but I thought I was. what happened was that I saw a gif of Todoroki lying on the ground and then his flames slowly ignited, starting from around his left eye right where his scar is, and then expanding to cover the scar. and I thought, oh, that must be what happened originally before he learned to control it! hence, burn scar! little did I know that was not the case at all and that the actual story was so. much. worse. omg. but the whole thing really set me up to be properly shocked, so.)

he apparently is another one who’s not immune to his own abilities! he has to use his left side to regulate the temperature changes from the right so he doesn’t give himself frostbite or anything like that

“if he uses his left side for too long”... yeah I’m pretty sure I did spoil myself there lmao. we’ll see, I guess

IZUKU: “you wanted to talk?” TODOROKI: [GLARES]

well this is off to a smashing good start

there goes Deku comparing everyone and everything to Kacchan once again! Todoroki apparently has “a much colder sort of intimidation”

“you overwhelmed me. so much that I broke my own pledge.” it’s kind of a stupid pledge, honestly, Todo

whoa hold up

did this kid just fucking put two and two together and actually come up with four

“I felt the same pressure coming from you.” hahaha! you don’t say! :’D

WOW he’s SO DAMN CLOSE

I’m pretty sure he’s not! he supposedly does have an actual bio dad somewhere out there, but we’ve never seen him and he doesn’t seem to be around! but!! aside from that, All Might did pass down his quirk and he has adopted him now, so! I’m gonna give him close to full marks for accuracy!

motherfucker, Deku is going off on some meandering rant of denial and it’s possibly the least convincing thing I’ve ever seen

lol Deku. at this point maybe just shut up

now he’s asking why Todoroki thought that. well I guess it must be because he himself is the son of a famous hero, right?

oh shit

yeah, come to think, it really does imply the existence of a “but” there, huh

now he’s telling Izu that his dad is Endeavor. would Izuku have already known that, what with the degree to which he tends to stalk his favorite heroes? the number two hero having a son his own age definitely seems like the type of factoid he would have made a note of

“all the more reason for me to crush you.” boys, no. :( why are all of my sons so antagonistic toward each other

cut to All Might and Endeavor!

All Might is being super nice so naturally Endeavor basically tells him to shove it!

hey, Endeavor! get fucked!!

DAMMIT ALL MIGHT STOP MAKING ME LOVE YOU EVEN MORE

he’s talking about how Todoroki (or “little Shouto” as he calls him... what was the Japanese equivalent? don’t tell me it was Shouto-chan) (ETA: nope, just the same -shounen suffix he uses for all of his kids) won the round even without using his left side, and says that “someone has been raising him well”

are you guys going to have a battle of who is the best dad

?! All Might is asking him for tips on how to dad?

All Might, maybe he’s not the best guy to ask? unless you’re going for a “how to make your son hate your guts” thing here

oh. whoa. hold the fuck up

[PULLS THE CAR AROUND!!] I’VE MADE UP MY MIND, SHOUTO, YOU’RE ADOPTED. HERE, YOU CAN PUT ALL YOUR THINGS IN THE TRUNK, AND I’VE BROUGHT YOU A TEDDY BEAR. TAKE IT EASY, KID, EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

ENDEAVOR YOU ARE ALSO CANCELLED. I’M SERVING YOU PAPERS. BY THE WAY, I HATE THAT STUPID MUSTACHE

All Might is all, “wut”

lmao I just realized he basically went up to Endeavor and was like “can you give me some advice” and Endeavor’s response was basically, “FUCK YOU!! NO!!! I HATE YOU!! ALSO!!!! MY SON WILL BE BETTER THAN YOU AND THAT’S THE ONLY REASON I HAVE A SON IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!”

and he said all of this while being, just... on fire. just all over the fucking place

what a weird conversation, is my point

he says Todoroki is a “rebellious little brat”, but that he’ll make him surpass All Might

wowwwwwwwwwww. CANCELLED. SO FUCKING CANCELLED

back to Shouto! Shouto we’re on a first name basis now

his dad basically embodies the worst of all this pro hero crap. the complete antithesis of All Might

All Might. bud, hold up. we need to sit down and discuss. there are three of them now, All Might. we need to do everything we can to make sure that none of these impressionable young kids ends up going down the wrong path and ending up like this salty fuck. I apologize for my language, All Might, but this is serious stuff. I know Katsuki is pretty rambunctious, but he has a good heart underneath it all, I’m sure of it. Deku is a good influence on him. now, I don’t know what kind of emotional damage this new one has been dealt, but he seems all right so far, so we just need to make sure he stays on track and makes some good friends, and is doing all this because he wants to be, and not because his POS father tells him it’s what he’s supposed to do

-- oh sorry guys I went off track there

so anyway, Shouto is telling Deku all about his horrible dad who wanted to be better than All Might but wasn’t better than All Might (AND HE COULD NEVER!!!!)

so he “came up with another plan.” oh honey ;_;

Deku apparently doesn’t have any idea why Shouto is telling him all this, because he’s still relatively new to this shounen protagonist stuff, and it’s his first tragic backstory. hush and just listen for a sec, Deku

“quirk marriages” fucking shit we’re really getting into fucking eugenics now. that got real heavy real fast

so basically Shouto’s dad forced his mom’s family to agree to marry their daughter to him. WOW. WOW

now Deku has shut up and looks properly horrified

I’m glad he understands that his father is a total piece of shit, though. like, good. good fucking show, Shouto, you keep it up

“as I remember it, mom was always crying...” ;_;

-- WHAT

WHAT.

DEKU. YOU AND ME ARE TWO OF A KIND HERE

FUCKING WHAT. SO YOU’RE TELLING ME BOTH PARENTS WERE ABUSIVE. DAD IS A NARCISSISTIC ASSHOLE WHILE MOM TOOK HER OWN HORRIFICALLY SHITTY SITUATION OUT ON HER FUCKING CHILD, WHICH IS NOT FUCKING OKAY NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ABUSED HIM EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY. HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I APPARENTLY WAS NOT, IN FACT, SPOILED BY THAT GIF, THANK GOODNESS

YEAH THIS CAME TOTALLY OUT OF LEFT FUCKING FIELD FOR ME TBH

SHIT

poor Deku really does look so shaken up all of a sudden. like, he has the best mom in the world, who loves him so much even without him having a quirk (as far as she knows). and then along comes this cool kid who seems to have it all, but in fact his home life was horrific and abusive, and he just came up and told Deku all of this out of the blue lol, and I say lol, but I’m not actually lol, you guys, I’m so not lol

okay. okay, dude, I get it. but! I still think that if you were to go ahead and use it, it would still be fine, because in the end you are not him, you’re not his tool, you are you, and you can go ahead and be as incredible of a hero as you want, and it’ll be in spite of Endeavor and certainly not because of him

(ETA: this is basically exactly what Deku ended up telling him. only I bet you I could have done it without dramatically ripping every fucking limb in my body to shreds. but hey, you know, shounens gonna shounen)

does U.A. have counseling. aside from All Might, who to be fair does try his best. but like, real counseling

because if not, they should. have counseling

-- !!!!!!!!!!!!

[AUDIBLE GASPING SOUNDS, I LITERALLY GASPED IN REAL LIFE???!!!!]

KATSUKI OH MY GOD. SURE, GET IN ON THIS. OF COURSE YOU WERE LISTENING, NO FUCKING WAY DEKU AND TODOROKI GO OFF ON THEIR OWN AND YOU DON’T NOTICE AND SLINK OFF TO FOLLOW THEM AND EAVESDROP. BUT I BET YOU WEREN’T EXPECTING THAT, WERE YOU

ARE YOU HAVING FEELINGS OF EMPATHY?? I HOPE TO GOD THIS IS HELPING YOU WITH YOUR EMPATHY MY ANGRY SON

LESSON ONE: DON’T BE LIKE ENDEAVOR!!

LESSON TWO: JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE COOL AND STRONG AND POWERFUL DOESN’T MEAN YOUR LIFE IS AUTOMATICALLY GONNA BE GREAT

LESSON THREE: I’M JUST CURIOUS, WERE YOU LISTENING IN ON THE “IS ALL MIGHT YOUR DAD” PART OF IT TOO?????

OH MY GOD

[shaking out hands to dispel all of my crazy excited nervous energy] oh my god. deep breath. okay

s-sigh. okay, Deku. now you have to say something, okay? don’t think about it too much, just. say something back to him, dude

oh shit Shouto’s walking off now. DEKU YOU DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING!!!!

also!! Shouto mentioned the All Might connection again, so even if Katsuki hadn’t heard him the first time, he definitely heard him now

ugh I’m SO FUCKING DYING TO KNOW just how much Kacchan has actually put together when it comes to the “Deku received his powers from All Might” thing and it drives me fucking crazy and I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get answers any fucking time soon. this manga has been good to me so far, but not that good

(ETA: this is a next day ETA! like, just to be clear, I haven’t read any additional chapters yet. but I was thinking on this some more, and basically I’ve come to the conclusion that Katsuki must know. the thing is, I keep forgetting just how insanely thorough Horikoshi is when it comes to his attention to detail. and I just can’t see him going out of his way to show Katsuki within earshot of a conversation like this, twice (here and on the bus to USJ), and not have that lead up to anything. yes, Katsuki has shown himself to be fairly oblivious to a lot of the goings-on surrounding him if it doesn’t involve him directly. but we’ve also seen that he absolutely does pay attention if the matter involves Deku. and he showed during the fight with Kurogiri and the rest that he’s definitely clever enough to pick up on subtle clues and connect the dots. and the thing is, the thing with Deku getting his power from All Might is not subtle at all. it’s the most obvious fucking thing ever, so obvious that two of Deku’s other classmates have come close to figuring it all out even without any hints. and neither of them had Deku literally come up to them and say “I got my quirk from someone else, but I can’t say from who.” yeah, Bakugou didn’t seem to understand it at the time. but he’s had time to process it since, and I just can’t see any way he wouldn’t have made the connection by now. so until we’re shown otherwise, I’m going to operate under this assumption from now on.)

(ETA 2: as of chapter 68, this is still up in the air! so I stand by it! I’m putting it out there!)

-- DEKU IS SAYING SOMETHING!!!! DEKUUUUU

and he says he’ll repay everyone who helped him by becoming the best

“let me return your declaration of war with my own.” awww. “declaration of war” isn’t really the best description for it lol. not when it’s being done like this

;_;

a healing shounen bond of determination is born

meanwhile Kacchan’s still listening in but doesn’t say anything. last time he got upset because they were having a rivalry without him. I wonder if he’s gonna let them have this thing for themselves this time around

don’t worry Kacchan, no matter what happens you’ll always be Deku’s number one rival. seriously, no matter how many other people he goes around declaring war on, you’re the one that fucking inspires him and lights that crazy fire in him and spurs him on to do crazy things and be amazing. you and All Might. but he’s not in love with All Might

lunch break is over. I wonder if they ever got to eat lunch

lol I’m so checked out of the sports festival now. I just want these three to go get ice cream together and chill

apparently they prepared some sort of “recreational activity” for the kids that didn’t end up making it to the final

um. what

I’m hovering my hand over the “cancel” button once again, people. don’t make me do it

[REPEATEDLY SLAMS CANCEL BUTTON FURIOUSLY!!!!!]

...okay, we’re back to the actual plot now

YESSSS THIS IS WHAT I FUCKING HOPED FOR THE MOSTTT

I mean come on, you can’t have a fucking shounen tournament arc without a fucking tournament

wait a sec. I’m looking at these individual panels, and the only conclusion I can draw is that Aoyama and Ojiro were somehow on the purple haired guy’s team this entire time and I didn’t realize it?? how’d he manage that? (mind control. obviously.)

quick bold predictions: MY GIRL OCHAKO TAKES IT ALL. LET’S GOOOOOO

more seriously, Deku and Todoroki will obviously have to fight each other, most likely in the final. so Bakugou is probably out in the semi or quarterfinals. although I can’t picture him going up against Deku again this soon, and if the finale is going to be Deku and Shouto, having Baku fight Shouto first kind of takes away from that, I feel? so maybe he won’t make it to the semifinals either. in which case probably the purple haired guy will, along with... MY GIRL OCHAKO. DID YOU NOT HEAR ME EARLIER. LET’S DO THIS. PLEASE. SOB

(ETA: honestly this tournament ended up surprising me at every turn. what a fucking ride)

BONUS:

STEEL RYOHEI!

Tetsutetsu is actually a pretty easy name to remember, but I just like calling him Steel Ryohei so much because I feel like it’s so fucking accurate

this guy really likes spinach

#bnha #boku no hero academia #makeste reads bnha #todoroki shouto #midoriya izuku #endeavor #all might #bakugou katsuki #this absolutely was my favorite chapter when I first read it #and it's still up there #this was pretty much when horikoshi came out and said 'oh so you thought this arc was gonna be about deku showing up?'#'nope'#'it's about TODOROKI. and his SAD LIFE'#'SAD TODOROKI ARC'#and I was like '!!!!!!!!!'#damn this was good

i was tagged by @toast-gh0st to do this 💖 thanks, it was so much fun!! i’m sorry in advance that it got really lengthy, i could rant on about songs i like forever hahaha

rules: list 10 artists you like before answering these questions:

oscar and the wolf

arctic monkeys

the last shadow puppets

the wombats

florence + the machine

spinvis

two door cinema club

beyoncé

placebo

alexandra savior

what was the first song you heard by 6? probably Oostende, put into a moody playlist by a friend (which he shared with me). we were hanging out together, it was late at night, and he was feeling kind of whimsical since his dog had died earlier this week, but we were right in the middle of pride week. the song itself is about a belgian seaside town, though i suspect the town is just used as a vehicle to express the underlying mood of the song. i visited that town once and there’s a really unique glum, but not unfappy feeling in the air. the video was shot there as well on the boulevard.

what is your favourite song by 8? Yoncé/Partition is a fucking masterpiece, don’t try to convince me otherwise. i sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker yoooooo (though drunk in love is a very close second)

what kind of impact has 1 left on your life? omg well, i got to know OATW through another friend and i saw them first at a festival, after which i was instantly bewitched (in between summer 2015 and now i’ve seen them 3 times). hearing his music for the first time presented me to such an insight about feelings and longing it was scary. especially discovering his debut record felt like i’d found the other missing half of my soul, it compliments my personality so well. killer you was the song that tied it all together.

what are your favourite lyrics by 5? “no light, no light in your bright blue eyes / i never knew daylight could be so violent” -- maybe also because i unconsciously relate it to my ex-bff?? she introduced me to this song and once sent me a pic of the lyrics of this song in her handwriting. thinking it’s better to live in the dark used such to be such a mindset. (this lyric took me half an hour to pick ugh)

how many times have you seen 4 live? once, in 2015 with the same friend (and also his boyfriend back then) who introduced me to spinvis! i remember it was a really great party and in the end he stagedived and acquired the setlist that was taped down by murph’s feet hahaha. i’m also gonna see them again in 2 weeks!!

what is your favourite song by 7? Sun, and it will probably always be Sun. but it was the first song i heard and i’ve got some great memories of summer 2013 linked to it. i like that, while it’s upbeat and happy, there’s a gloomy quality underneath that makes it melancholic, though not too deeply sad.

is there any song by 3 that makes you sad? yeah The Bourne Identity, every time i hear that bitch of a song i just want to weep, both from empathic sadness and from gratitude that this song exists. i mean, the quality level of alex turner’s songwriting is extra-fucking-terrestial. (y’all who know this song probs know why i picked this, but this song is basically about your outer walls cracking and the image you’re holding up shattering. then suddenly people are looking right at the real sombre/insecure you you’ve been trying to hide. only..... worded less cheesy than i just did loll)

what is your favourite song by 9? i bear an undying love for Every You Every Me, BUT right now it’s Follow The Cops Back Home. that song has got a great sentimental sunset, suspended-in-time feel that i’ve really come to appreciate. the opening lyric for the last chorus is so well done: “the call to arms was never true / i’m medicated, how are you?” i live for that part of the song.

how did you first get into 2? omg don’t get me started. this is basically 6 all over again, except in a more positive setting. i had cooked hamburgers with that friend and afterwards we were lounging on his couch, and he put on Knee Socks. i hadn’t consciously heard AM before and this was the song that started it all hahaha. it took me another 3 years (and the video of ITWYW) to properly get converted though.

how did you get into 10? because i’m a fan of am/tlsp and thus of alex turner, and then i heard he’d done a collab with her and her songs seemed so interesting and dark i thought it was worth getting into haha. shades was the song that convinced me, even though it’s a bit of an oddball on the album.

i’ll tag @thaknows @partynthem @citiznerased, @indescribablenoise and @barbarabaardenbarbier to do it too (if you wanna, that is)!

#toast-gh0st #all of the songs i mentioned are so moody omg #i'm such a sucker for sad/moody/sentimental songs #believe me i tried to hold back i really tried #but it's the length of a short novella lol
