Do you have any songs that you like and recommend? Related to Beetlejuice or not! 🪲 🧃 🎶
Ooooo!!!!!!!!!!
I’m gonna preface this by saying that I like to listen to a lot of random music with varying degrees of adult content and if you’re a minor or not comfortable with that stuff, please don’t take my recommendations at face value and keep yourself safe and happy. A lot of the music I listen to gets really vulgar and dark and often touch on very existential or crude topics as those are the things my brain latches onto due to my own mental health.
I have so much music I really enjoy but it’s so hard to pin it down cus I either love every song from one band/artist almost equally (and extremely much) or I love random specific songs but to a lesser degree…!
I’m a really big fan of Will Wood in general, prolly my alltime favorite artist!! I don’t even really know an album I would recommend tho as all of them are so very different!!!
It’s kinda on a spectrum of depression and unhinged to somewhat okay and pretty calm, with his first album being on the unhinged&depression side and then in order until his latest album they slowly become more calm and healthier but still sorta struggling? That’s how I think I’d describe his music!!
The topics in the songs are very existencial a lot and get really dark so that’s something to look out for if that’s not gonna work out for you tho!!!!!
For a beginner listener I guess I might recommend the Self-Ish album, mainly because that’s the first album by him that I listened to, but also cus it’s really energetic and fun in it’s existencialism, it’s just kinda crazy more than anything else-!
Other than that…
*flips through youtube real quick to see what I like cus my memory doesn’t work right*
OH OF COURSE
Now, my taste in music is kinda fucked up-
But I’ll give a (much smaller than expected) list of songs (ESPECIALLY WITH THE MUSIC VIDEO) that I really enjoy for that exact reason:
Bring Me All Of Your Teeth by Hot Dad
O b l i v i o n by Ctrl Ult Delete
I am realizing I don’t wanna call songs I like fucked up without them being very specific cus idk what’s normal or not and I don’t want anybody to think a song they like is weird in a bad way or anything but I feel like these two are okay to call kinda fucked up!!! (Affectionate)
UHHHHHH
Man, I really don’t have any good grasp on anything I enjoy at all unless it’s a special interest???
I’d be happy to share the playlists I listen to the most if anybody wants to listen to them cus idk what else I’d actively recommend???

Marinus van Reymerswale (Dutch, 1489-1546)
The Virgin Nursing the Child, circa 1530
Madrid, Prado
(oil on panel, 610 x 460 mm)
Albrecht Dürer
Madonna with Child, 1512

Workshop of Albrecht Dürer
The Madonna with the Iris, about 1500-1510
London, The National Gallery
(oil on lime, 1492 x 1172 mm)
"The painting bears the monogram of Albrecht Dürer together with the date of 1511 [...] Since Marinus used Dürer’s models as a source of inspiration for his own work, it is likely that the false monogram was added already in the sixteenth century, maybe even by the painter himself."

Hello, Support I was trying to use your machine to reset my life after a horrible year but it's gotten stuck it'll only let me choose between Asian an Latin races, can you help me out? Also it says it will only let me wear tight leather clothing, am I doing something wrong?
Man, you have the free trial. There's not a whole lot of choices there. Problem is: you've already started configuring a transformation. Now you can only upgrade after you have completed the transformation. If you allow me, I'll put something together for you, and when we're done, you can upgrade to the full version.
Have you had a terrible year? You can't even remember what was so terrible… You came to Spain from Colombia a year ago as a guest worker. And after you got your EU residence permit, you moved to Amsterdam. Your English is barely good enough, you have a hard time with Dutch. But hey, you quickly made a name for yourself as a tattoo artist in Amsterdam's red light district.
Hehehe, you love summer in the city! Locals, immigrants, tourists… Endless studs to fuck. The De-Oeverlanden park is extremely busy just after sunset. If someone shines a flashlight on you like that, it must be a cop looking for a dealer. Or a tourist looking for a stallion. You're in luck. It's a cop looking for a stallion. And you love being ridden by cops.
You can find the best Latino hustlers @yeahthatsmypapi

ART THREAD
I have had the very great pleasure of commissioning some beautiful art to celebrate the release of my new novel Nine-Tenths. I'm going to share them all in this thread (and hopefully add to it if I'm lucky enough to be graced with more) so you can appreciate the talent of these incredible artists.
by Christopher Winkelaar
Nine-Tenths is set in a world where all the nobility in Europe are homo draconis - shape-shifting dragons who have the ability to take human form. Every culture in the world have dragons living among the humans, but the European and Asian nations are the only ones where dragons were historically elevated to the roles of monarchs, nobles, and emperors.
In a world where the American Colonies rejected British rule, this meant they were also rejecting draconic protection--and so while they won their Independence in 1793, they were soundly trounced in the War of 1812, losing all of New England, including New York State, to the British. They were absorbed into the Canadas, except for New York City, which was reclaimed by the Dutch and re-renamed New Amsterdam.
The Canadian colonies expanded west, as they historically did in our world, through a series of broken treaties with the Indigenous peoples of the continent, and the reprehensible colonialist practices which put the settlers in power today. It also means they were able to expand further south, without the Americans to bump up against.
This also meant that the Americans were unable to expand as far south and west as in our world, coming up against Indigenous dragon-protected lands, such as the Oniagara, or Aztec and Incan empires, which grew further north after Spanish contact, and flourished.
Unlike in the current version of Canada, the land was legislatively divided into much smaller provinces than currently exist, each overseen by a hereditary draconic Lieutenant Governor, who report to the draconic Governor of the Canadas, who in turn reports to the House of Lords in England (also dragons). Each province is divided into Duchies, Earldoms, and Marquessates, presided over by a noble dragon family.
As dragons are long-lived, the current Queen of England is Elizabeth (the first one). As she has not yet passed, the Kingdom of Scotland as yet remains separate from England. Ireland too is independent, the Irish dragons having beaten back the English ones. However, Wales remains a satellite colony of England, as the betrayal which brought about it's subjugation and the trickery around the hereditary title "Prince of Wales" still occurred. (This an important plot point).
by @seancefemme
This is the first piece of art I commissioned for the novel, and you'll note it's now become the cover art!
Meet the heroes of our tale: barista and disaster bi Colin Levesque, stuck in the middle of his quarter-life crisis and crushing on his cafe regular, Welsh dragon Dav, the Marquis of Niagara (though of course, Colin doesn't know he's the Marquis, and thinks Dav is just some minor noble with nothing better to do all day than hang out and read).
by @ibrithir-was-here
Colin works at Beanevolence, an indie cafe in downtown St. Catharine's, in the province of Upper Canada (Southern Ontario in our world). It's owned by his bestie Hadi, and he was only supposed to be a barista until he'd graduated. But now he has his Sustainable Tourism degree, and no clue what to do next. He feels completely stuck. Luckily he has Dav to distract him.
Except that one day Dav distracts him too well, which results in a kitchen fire. As an apology for the inferno, and to help the cafe get back on it's feet while the repairs are under way, Dav volunteers as the new bean roaster, creating incredible and (and ultimately social-media viral) coffee roasts with his fire-breath.
by @ibrithir-was-here
Colin and Dav start a flirtation at work.
Which leads to...
by @teejaystumbles
Luxurious dates and late-night smoochies.
by @pinkpiggy93
Which also goes a little bit viral. See, it turns out that the Marquis of Niagara usually keeps a low profile, and his sudden romance with a human has the gossip rags and tabloids all in a tizzy.
But more than that, it puts Dav under the scrutiny of Francis Simcoe. He's the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, a dragon with a hate-on for Dav, and the perfect ammunition to ruin his happiness.
Because, you see, it's against dragonic rules for dragons to be seen to be laboring in service of humans... and Dav's new gig at Beanevolence is about to--forgive the pun--land him in hot water.

Anytime I think about Steve, Eddie, Chrissy or Robin as famous musicians, I have to hold myself back from adding a shit ton of Lady Gaga references.
Like in the 2010s Lady Gaga appeared for an mtv music award show as this rugged, unkept greaser type character she made up named jo calderone. He's kinda known as "Lady Gaga's boyfriend that is also lady Gaga in drag". Steve Harrington, teen popstar trying to get away from his overbearing label would show up to the red carpet in drag as Amanda Miller, the girlfriend his label chose for him. She is dressed how they have their other popstar darling, Chrissy Cunningham dress. Amanda Miller later shows up in one of his music videos after he leaves the label. Both appearances of Amanda Miller cause mass bi panic online.
Speaking of fellow teen popstar Chrissy Cunningham, she starts openly thanking God and the Gays for the successes in her career. The label hates it, but they deal or else she's not gonna thank God either, causing problems with her religious fanbase(the impact of only letting her make ultra clean love songs for years). Also the idea of Chrissy disrespecting the interviewers who disrespect her is so healing. Think about it. Like yeah she ate that guy's script, and she'd do it again if he asks about her diet.
For rockstar eddie? So in Lady Gaga's song government hooker there's a spoken bit(not the jfk line the "back up and turn around" one). Those lines are spoken by Gaga's bodyguard Pete, who has a very thick Dutch accent after Lady gaga suddenly brought the idea that he be the "pervy robot voice" up during production.
Like Eddie would so do this, as I think creating songs gives him a lot of almost maniacal energy. Also for this one, the bodyguard is Italian Steve, but he's Jeff's bodyguard who Eddie's been constantly flirting with. That's perfectly fine by Eddie's actual bodyguard, who needs "a damn second to fucking breathe, you hyperactive bastard".
Indie rock vocalist Robin Buckley would have an album where she sings in like four different languages outside of English like lady Gaga did in born this way. And also sing in other languages fairly often. It's most often in French(like lady Gaga does), but every time Robin starts singing in a language that isn't English, the fans will scramble to figure out what tongue she's singing/speaking in now and what is she saying? What does google translate say she's saying?
There's paparazzi photos of vocalist Robin standing next to Jeff from Corroded Coffin but she's chatting in Italian with... his body guard? Apparently they met as teenagers on a trip abroad and became best friends then pen pals after. But we guess it evens out as robin's makeup artist/one woman glam team was best friends with Eddie in high school? And she won the prom queen tiara that CC wears in their iconic album cover. I dunno, just something that's been haunting my brain.

4.27 Self-Hurt Star
4.27 Self-Hurt Star
Poem by Emilia Sameyn
15/11/2023
(NEDERLANDS BENEDEN)
Warning: mention of self-harm, blood, pregnancy, depression
The Girl etches the Scars of her Mind;
Onto her Pale Thin Arms;
They Say;
Red is the Color of Love;
Now it Leaks onto the Ground;
The Blood of a Broken Bonking Organ;
She's too Young;
Motherhood is Coming;
She creates Life;
Yet, becomes Death;
Forever etched onto her Pale Thin Arms;
Stomach of Full of Emptiness;
Brain Empty of Feeling;
She was Supposed to be a Star;
Famous Known to Everyone;
But She Became;
Black Hole of Darkness;
Forgotten by Everyone;
Imploding into her Own Self.
---------------------------
---------------------------
4.27 ZelfPijn Ster
Gedicht van Emilia Sameyn
15/11/2023
Waarschuwing: vermelding self-harm, bloed, zwangerschap, depressie
Het meisje Etst de Littekens in Haar Gedachten;
Op haar Bleke Dunne Armen;
Ze Zeggen;
Rood is de Kleur van de Liefde;
Nu lekt het op de Grond;
Het Bloed van een Gebroken Bonkend Orgaan;
Ze is te Jong;
De Moederschap Komt;
Zij Creëert Leven;
Maar wordt toch Dood;
Voor altijd op haar Bleke, Dunne Armen geëtst;
Maag vol Leegte;
Hersenen zonder Gevoel;
Ze had een Ster moeten Zijn;
Bij Iedereen Gekend;
Maar ze werd Een Zwart Gat van Duisternis;
Door Iedereen Vergeten;
Imploderend in haar Eigen Zelf.
