any trash songs that are dear to you, dr. fudge? especially that go well with trashy ships hehe

sorry for replying eons later

well, this question has the power to truly Expose™ me on the first day of Christmas, but… here goes nothing

i think ppl expect me to respond with something like “tear you apart” from she wants revenge, which is a great song! but i’m afraid i’m going to have to take you back to the ye olde days and show you what really embarrassing, early ‘00s trash sounded like.

first, a few concessions:

trash by suede and poison by alice cooper are 80s/90s classics of the “you’re bad for me but i can’t help it” dynamic. but they’re too classy for this list. there’s not gonna be any Divine on this list, no 80s late-disco jams, no “west end girls” by pet shop boys, no britney doing “toxic” or “momma i’m in love with a criminal”, no christina aguilera wrestling in the mud while singing about being “dirty”, no baz luhrmann-esque “lady marmalade”. that’s all great. it’s just not this list.

you also won’t find any my chemical romance, panic at the disco, evanescence, papa roach, marilyn manson etc. because they weren’t part of my trash experience. i mean they were there in the background, i was aware of them (and who hasn’t watched edits with “bring me to life”? don’t lie…)… and they’re kind of similar to what i have here, but they weren’t the trash i was particularly attuned to (plus, manson can choke).

some other exclusions: i remember the original p&p edits back in 2005 had all of these “cuz there’s you and me and all other people” songs that were really wonderful, cheesy, shippy songs. but that’s…not this list (although that would make a great list too! remind me to do that one too!)

i once got a message about how “mr. brightside” by the killers would make a great song for a bonkai edit, and…i like the killers just fine, and that’s a great song, but…no. this list ain’t that.

the trash here is not trash on purpose, it’s not tongue-in-cheek, it’s not a “steamy hot mess”, it’s just…really bad and angsty and earnest and totally committed to the “no one understands me (but you)” vibe that a lot of early ‘00s trash ships fostered.

okay…let’s…shame…me…:

1. cold by crossfade - back in the late ‘00s, you couldn’t find an anime AMV that didn’t have this song in the background, ESPECIALLY if your male character was a murderous, brooding (secretly soft) boi who disdained the female sex because “feelings are weakness” or something. it was baaaad, but it’s a nostalgic fave. the whole song is basically about how that arrogant, cold guy who’s shunned you and treated you badly was secretly into you all this time. yeaahhhh. (i remember this song was also popular with m/m ships because you had that classic dynamic where one of the guys was still in denial about his “gay” feelings. god i miss 2006.)

2. vermilion pt. 2 by slipknot - another 2005/2006 era song that capitalizes on the bad guy/good girl trope where she’s too “good” for the brooding antihero, but he can’t help but ruin her. or something. it’s soooo angsty. it has the great, eerie feeling of a doomed romance which was also definitely written by teenagers. i love it.

3. i hate everything about you by three days grace - obviously, you can’t leave out the big dick energy song.

4. anything by nine inch nails’ 2000-2010 period, but especially “fragile” and “we’re in this together now”, because they’re very much trashy power couple aesthetics, but also aaaaangsssst. “fragile” always cracks me up because it’s basically that one direction song about how the girl doesn’t know she’s beautiful, except it’s alternative rock and trent reznor is screaming about how he has to save this beautiful, pure soul from the corruption of the world. (for anyone expecting “closer”, that’s a great song…but i said real, embarrassing trash).

5. vampire heart by HIM - because OF COURSE. 2006 me was LIVING for Vampire Hunter D AMVs. that iconic line “love me like you love the sun” POETRY OKAY. another fave line has to be “you can’t escape the wrath of my heart”….like, whew, what a badass.

6. hate me by blue october - AAAANGST. aaaaaaaaaangst. maybe the apogee of late ‘00s cheesy alternative rock. but probably not. there’s always one that goes harder. this list, unfortunately, is 90% this genre because they really SLAPPED when you put them together with trashy ships okayyyyy there was an innocence and earnestness that the ‘post-9/11 iraq invasion’ atmosphere really captured.

7. let me go by 3 doors down - see, i was wrong, THIS is the apogee. “you love meeeee, but you don’t know who i aaaaaam” belts the lead singer of this oft-forgotten band aaaaand 15-year old me screamed yaaaaaaaaas

8. pieces by sum 41 - WRONG AGAIN. IT’S THIS ONE. the anime AMVs…my god….i can even tell you, beat by beat where the angsty edits happened depending on the breaks in the song.

9. sour girl by stone temple pilots - “bad” boy waxing about how he’s ruined a good girl? check. super Extra lyrics that go “what would you do? what would you do if i followed you?” check. sarah michelle gellar/buffy being a dark goth muse for the tormented bad boy? triple check!!

10. hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me by U2 - i meaaaaaaan. it’s in the title. 10-year old me WAS LIVING. this is THE batman song, and if there’s a god, it will be featured in the upcoming robert pattinson movie. ppl wanna say this song is more of the “trash on purpose” variety, but i don’t think so. i think joel schumacher plays this dead straight (and “batman forever”, while being one of the cheesiest movies ever made, takes itself extremely serious).

11. insatiable by darren hayes - finally breaking away from the alt rock scene a bit for this one. ppl who are now trying to make this song “respectable” and classify it as sweet 00s nostalgia are WRONG. everything about this song is convoluted and overly wrought and pitch perfect, even the fact that you would never believe that this waspy blond dude in the music video has anything to do with the actual song.

12. behind blue eyes by limp bizkit - don’t look at meeeee. this is basically a meme song. the band itself turned out to be dumpster fire and fred durst is…blehh. but this song stiiiiiill slaps, i have the courage to say it. the video definitely helps, i mean u got that trashy dynamic of prisoner/guardian @___@ and halle berry @___@. half-naked fred durst kinda ruins it, but it’s still got its charm.

13. i have to include some linkin’ park songs here at the end and i’m choosing the ones that were trashiest to me and that’s gotta be “one step closer” and “somewhere i belong” because they were always juxtaposed with villain/heroine ships in edits, and i remember fanfic authors would use them in songfics. “in the end” and “numb” are waaaayyy too classy.

additional “kinda too good for this list” rec: the entire Queen of the Damned soundtrack, but especially “slept so long”, “system” and “before i’m dead” and really ALL the songs.

this disaster list could definitely go on (i’m sure u guys can pitch in. and hey, i might be persuaded to do part 2) but imma stop here before i lose my last shred of credibility on this website lol. k byeeeeeee

Zexal Month Prompt Page

Hey everyone, Pyra here and here are the prompts for our third Zexal Month!

The new mod team and I -literally a bunch of chaotic demons in a discord chat- have been very excited and have been working hard on a bunch of prompts and alternative prompts to bring back your hyper-fixation on Zexal. August isn’t far away, friends! So if you want to prep for Zexal Month early, here’s your chance!

List is under the cut! Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------

Week 1

Day 1: 1st of August Presenting you.

Who are you and what made you watch Zexal?

Day 2: 2nd of August Kattobingu brings us together

Tell/show us your favourite thing about your favourite character/or friendship

3rd and 4th of August Weekends are breaks/free prompts/time to prep for next week. So do what you want!

Week 2 Artists

Day 1: 5th of August Fashion icons.

Honestly, just use this an excuse to throw your character in a fancy outfit. Show us alternative costumes, clothes, and fashion, or even an alternate design of someone!

Day 2: 6th of August A Different Mantle.

Yuma the Barian Lord? Vector the Numbers Hunter? Rio the Arclight? Mix the teams up and show us how it affects the story!

Day 3: 7th of August The Family I’ve never known.

Ena, Mirai Tsukumo, the Kamishiro parents, the poor women who ended up marrying Faker and Tron… So many characters were skipped over in Zexal. Show us headcanons and pictures of these unsung heroes. Alternatively, draw fan children! You know you want to.

Day 4: 8th of August A long time ago, far in the future.

Show us characters at different ages! Maybe them as senior citizens, or as hot parents, or babies!

Day 5: 9th of August Space and the cosmos.

Hey, interpret this as you will. Maybe you could do something about the three planets floating in Zexal skies. Or what happens post-Zexal. Or Tron’s weird galaxy face.

Week 3: Writers

Day 1: 12th of August An Angsty Teen Drama.

Give us angst. Death scenes. Breakups. Injury. Pining. Mutual pining. Forbidden love. Cheating. Whatever it is, make the characters (and us) hurt. (Happy endings optional but not mandatory).

Day 2: 13th of August Love is a revolving door.

Give us your OTP. Show us why you love it so much and let them be happy (unless you like it because of the angst. Go do what you want, I’m not your mum).

Day 3: 14th of August What if there were no magic card games?

What if the Zexal cast had to be in our world? Give us some sort of modern AU! Go domestic and coffee shop style or go assassins gunning each other down or something in between!

Day 4: 15th of August Xyz Beyond Time!

Crossover time! Whether with another Yugioh series or a different show, show us a crossover with Zexal!

Day 5: 16th of August The many threads of fate.

Free AU day. Show us what you’ve thought about in your spare time, even if you’ve never done anything for that AU before.

Week 4: Video/Animation

Day 1: 19th of August LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Hey, who put memes here? It’s just memes both new and old, plus maybe some old fandom jokes. Or something. I don’t know, unleash your inner degenerate.

Day 2: 20th of August The World is Beautiful.

Whether you do animatics or capture gifs, we want to showcase your work here! Capture your favourite part of Zexal. Those who don’t do either, feel free to talk/show what’s your favourite visual scene/scenery of Zexal!

Day 3: 21st of August DJ Earworm.

What’s your favourite Zexal BGM? Either talk about it or do a picture/piece of writing/gif work/amv to the duration of the song! See what you can achieve in 4 minutes!

Day 4: 22nd of August That one, but again.

This one goes out to all you animators. Reanimate your favourite scene from Zexal. Alternatively, for everyone else, just show us your favourite scene in Zexal.

Day 5: 23rd of August AMV hell.

Fan Video time! It doesn’t have to be an AMV too! Vines/Jokes/movie trailers… show us what you’ve got! If you don’t make AMVs, go youtube some and give a shoutout. Alternatively, writers/artists could write a prompt based on a Zexal video they find! Remember to reference videos properly!

Week 5: Fandom week

Day 1: 26th of August Battle of the Bands!

Are you a Numbers Club fan? A Barian Emperors fan? An Arclight fan? A Fearsome Four fan? Something else entirely? Why do you like that group the best? Show us something with them!

Note: This prompt does not have to include a battle of the bands AU unless you want to include it.

Day 2: 27th of August Illuminati confirmed

Fan Theory Day! As much as we love Zexal, there are some plot holes. Fill in the gaps or show us a theory you’ve been concocting!

Day 3: 28th of August The Me that’s not me.

What’s your favourite character? What character do you relate to? Why is this character special to you? Show us your story.

Day 4: 29th of August The Me to aspire to be.

Show us a person in the fandom that you look up to. Or you did look up to back in the day. Give them a shout out, show them why you liked what they did. If there’s no one, tell us a second character you’re really inspired by from Zexal.

Day 5: 30th of August Where are you now?

Zexal Month has always been about the community. Even if Zexal may not be our current fandom, it still holds a special place. For those currently in the Zexal fandom and active, tell us what you like about it. For those fossils like me, talk about your new fandoms and maybe do a small crossover with Zexal to show why you love your new fandom so much.

Finale 31st of August Goodbye for now.

This is another free day! Catch up on a day you missed or go to the alternative prompts page. However, it is also our chance to thank you all for participating. Tell us what you liked about Zexal Month, what you didn’t like, and what can be improved.

-----------------------------------------------

As you can see, each week, the prompts will be focused on a different sort of medium: art, writing, video editing/animating and general fandom creation. Of course, you can put forth whatever media you want to whatever prompt! We’d love to see an AMV of your Modern Day AU for example! We just thought having more focused prompts would help.

If you somehow don’t want to do any of the board prompts, that’s cool. Here’s a list of alternative prompts you can do any day that fits the more conventional style of fandom weeks/months. You can pick and choose, you can RNG it, or combine prompts… whatever you want! Just have fun!

-----------------------------------------------

Alternative Prompts

kittywampus - a disorganised mess

Agelast- A person who never laughs.

Amatorculist- A little insignificant lover; a pretender to affection

Petrichor- The smell of earth after rain.

Dragon tales

Hallucinations/Illusions

Growing up/Becoming an adult

Time loop AU

Monster/Supernatural AU

A Perfect ending

That’s all from me! See you in 31 days!

-Mod Pyra

Last movie watched: Mulan 11. Last show watched: “Camp Camp” probably 12. When did I create my blog: Cayannmon was started….March 15th ((heh ides of march)) 6 years ago. @cayannamon-arts was started a year ago on August 3rd.

13. What do I post: Fandom stuff, my art, social issues, memes, tutorials, etc. etc. Honestly it’s just one big mess. 14. Last thing I googled: Soul Eater ((cuz of the au we were discussing in discord earlier)) 16. Do you get asks: Occasionally 17. Why did you choose your url: Well….**pulls out a tome and dusts it off** Back when neopets was like a huge thing, they would give you these generated usernames and stuff. If my parents had ever had another child, their name would be Cayenne and since my name is Cheyenne, we’d be the Pepper Siblings™. As such, 12 year old me was like “COOL, I’ll make my username have cayenne in it”. However, I still had to set up an email at the time and those also gave you random generated additions if your name was taken. Thus Cayenne went to Cayanna_y42 which gave me my original neopets handle ((which was rudely deactivated a few years back when they did that mass purge of unused accounts)) and various other media accounts. Unfortunately, when it finally came time to spread my wings and make a YouTube channel back in ohhh I dunno, 2007? Somewhere around there- the user “cayanna” and “cayanna_y42” were taken. And, being the dork I was and the fan of them classic animes and cartoons like Digimon from Disney XD, I was like “I like “Gatomon”…lets just…merge things. Thus “Cayannamon” became my handle for everything up until today. Tho, my original YT was deactivated from those old classic AMV’s and copyright claims. *weeps*

18. Following: 1,068 blogs currently *coughs* 19. Followers: 503 currently; while I try and block the spam/porn bots, there’s probably around 15? or so that are bots. 20. Favourite colours: My list of fave to least fave goes: Purple, Black/White, Green, Red, Orange, Pink, Yellow, Blue. ((sorry all you blue lovers, there’s just very rare times I actually enjoy that color)) 21. Average hours of sleep: 5-8, depends on if I’m in school or not. 22. Lucky number: 8 ((It’s my lucky number, birthday number, favorite number, it’s even, and it’s a lemniscate. I love it. )) 23. Instruments: Clarinet mainly. Though I have dabbled with pianos, ukuleles, guitars, saxophones, flutes, and drums. Still wanna get my hands on a harp and violin tho like gosh 24. What am I wearing: Purple short shorts and a black tank top, aka my usual. 25. How many blankets do I sleep with: Anywhere from one to three, depending on the weather. But I gotta at least have one on me. 26. Dream job: Oh gosh, uhm, probably something that no one else has done like….animal art traveling scientist teacher thing. I dunno. I’ve got a lot of dreams y’all. I’m getting two bachelors right now because I’m so bad at deciding. 27. Dream trip: Anywhere, honestly. I’ve never left America and I’ve only visited like 4 states. France, Japan, England, South America, Antarctica; just take me. 28. Favourite food: I love…a lot…of foods….but for this one… I’ll go with… pumpkin pie. 29: Nationality: American 30: Favourite song right now: Don’t really have one single song but… “Outbreak (feat. Mylk) by Feint” is pretty chill.

Tagging: @trucbiduleschouettes @grayscaleeternity @hauntedspacekiwi @sierra-mist-14 and anyone who wants to do it. ♥
