mitski songs that make me think of reid + a specific lyric
spencer reid is very mitski. but these were the first to come to mind. i do not take criticism.
- working for the knife
honestly, the entire song reminds me of reid, but this in particular:
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I'm dying for the knife
- liquid smooth
I'm liquid smooth, come touch me, too
I'm at my highest peak, I'm ripe
About to fall
How I feel this river rushing through my veins
With nowhere else to go, it circles 'round
- class of 2013
Mom, would you wash my back?
This once, and then we can forget
And I'll leave what I'm chasing
For the other girls to pursue
Mom, am I still young?
Can I dream for a few months more?
- i don't smoke
Just don't leave me alone
Wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me
Credit for
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart
- abbey
again, the entire song is very reid, but:
I am something
I have been something
I was born something
What could I be?
There is a light that I can see
But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me
There is a dream that I sometimes see
That only appears in the dark of sleep
- i bet on losing dogs
Will you let me, baby, lose
On losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I wanna feel it
I bet on losing dogs
I always want you when I'm finally fine
- the deal
Then of course, nothing replied, nothing speaks to you in the night
And I walked my way home, there was no one in sight
Save a bird perched upon a streetlight, watchin' me
So, I stopped and let it watch 'til I found that it said
"Now I'm taken, the night has me
You won't hear me singin'
You're a cage without me
Your pain is eased, but you'll never be free for
Now I'm taken, the night has me"
- fireworks
this is perhaps one of the reid-est. here's the particular lyric:
One morning this sadness will fossilize
And I will forget how to cry
I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change
Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye
I will go jogging routinely
Calmly and rhythmically run
And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side
I'll pull it out without questioning why
- i don't like my mind
again, the entire song is reid, but this is my pick:
I don't like my mind, I don't like being left alone in a room
With all its opinions about the things that I've done
So, yeah, I blast music loud, and I work myself to the bone
And on an inconvenient Christmas, I eat a cake
- first love / late spring
very cliché, but i HAD to include it! here:
And I was so young when I behaved 25
Yet now, I find I've grown into a tall child
And I don't wanna go home
Let me walk to the top of the big night sky
- there's nothing left for you
You could touch fire
You could fly
It was your right
It was your life
And then it passed
To someone new
It'll keep passin' on
Long after you
- nobody
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
- because dreaming costs money, my dear
I once lived in the sea
Bring me to your ear, you can hear
The tide where I used to be
Though now I'm but a shell
- a pearl
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my head
And I roll it around every night
Just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
- real men
Real men keep cool in the face of a fire
Go down with the ship
And real men don't eat
'Cause they're above that, damn it
Oh, I'm gonna be a real man
- crack baby
It's been a long, hard 20 year summer vacation
Both these 20 years tryna fill the void
Crack baby, you don't know what you want
But you know that you had it once
And you know that you want it back
Crack baby, you don't know what you want
But you know that you're needing it
And you know that you need it bad

Thalia should get her own mini series.
She’s the heart of the first series (along with Annabeth and Luke). In the first two books, she and her past are haunting Percy. Her role as another child of the Big Three, her role in Annabeth’s life, who’s becoming one of his best friends, her role in Grover’s life, his best friend, and her role in Luke’s life, his mentor later turned enemy. Everything, in a sense, ends and starts with her.
She’s one of the breaking points for Luke on why he joined Kronos and went against the gods. She’s a pillar in Annabeth’s life as large as Luke, leaving a whole in her heart when she died. She’s part of the camps history, being the reason why they have protection. When she comes back, the campers, his friends, Chiron, even the story, acknowledges that he isn’t the main character anymore. He’s not the child of the prophecy. Its her. She’s such an important part to say she was only a major character in one book.
I feel like she deserves a trilogy, each one dedicated to different points in her life. The first one being on the run. The “good old days.” Where it was her and Luke, and then her, Luke and Annabeth. Where they were fighting their way to safety and camp and going on nothing but Grover and signs (hopefully) sent from their parents. The one where she dies and spends 8 years in a tree.
Book 2 is her resurrection, her heartbreak. She’s been gone for 8 years, stuck as a pine tree. Annabeth is one year younger than her instead of five, Luke is a traitor, he tried to murder her, tried to kill Annabeth, Percy. And he’s a kelp head but he’s her friend too.
The last straw is maybe seeing what he did to Annabeth, laying broken by the sky. Or maybe it’s Zoë dying, hit with a poisonous arrow, killed by her own father. Either way, she vows to kill him.
She joins the hunters in the end, she does it to post pone the war, to bid everyone time. Its also go free herself, save herself because its the only way she can.
Book 3 would be life as a hunter, during the last 2 years of the war. Where she finds peace and a home, one among people she’s sure won’t betray her. Where she has people go fall back on even if someone does. Where people expect her to be a lieutenant, not where people expect her to die at sixteen. Where there isn’t haunted grey eyes staring at her like a ghost, or a boy she can barely recognize.
I also think, on top of everything, Thalia’s one of the few PJO (main storyline) characters whose story is done. And she didn’t have to die for it to end. She found her peace, even if it wasn’t what she expected. Her book has closed, even if she does have many adventures ahead of her. She deserves a trilogy

How are the other executives and lance?
The other Executives and Lance are actually working together now. I am not permitted to tell the details to the public for many reasons.
Much of the conflict is over. I was just... Too preoccupied to learn that...

@hifimuses liked .
out of all the humanly things on earth that grossed pearl out , food would be in the top 5. ( trust , she has a list. ) sure , her physical form was capable of eating , but the entire process was still disgusting.
Tumblr media
therefore , this place , this ' grocery store ' is pearl's worst nightmare. every single corner is stocked with putrid , artificial , packaged human food [ . . . ] if she wasn't determined to learn to take of steven for rose , she would have left this store a long time ago.
" euggh .. " as she trailed behind greg , they passed the frozen meat section , and a shudder ran up her spine at the sight. for sanctum , she looked back at her shopping list that garnet provided her. ( remind her why couldn't garnet have come instead ? ) then she looked at the cart greg was pushing . .
nothing on the list was in the cart.
" um .. greg .. " concern in her voice , pearl caught up , pointing to her list. " you know , steven is a growing boy. human children need nutrients , not , um .. this. " slop is what she wanted to call it. the cart was filled with junk food and sugars and quite literally everything the book she read told her to not feed to steven. " we need to get real food. okay ? "

Why is Angelo Volta my favourite character in Night Shift?
Oh you know, I just relate to him a lot, he's a bit socially awkward, he likes his dogs and takes them everywhere he can because they make him feel better, he has a shit dad who tears him down even when he tries hard to fix mistakes he sometimes didn't even make, he puts on a cold exterior to hide the fact that he's numb and detached from the world, he's traumatised by how he was treated during his youth, he shows signs of being neurodivergent throughout Sebastian's recordings, if he was a mitski song he'd be A Pearl, he's the Patroclus to Sebastian's Achilles-like nature, always paying the consequences for Sebastian's reckless and occasionally selfish actions when he doesn't have to but because he loves him, even if it's foolish and dangerous to do so
