something people don’t appreciate enough is the fact that different songs on midnights explore the same topics in numerous, sometimes contradictory ways. on snow on the beach, she’s scared that a new relationship might not work out; on labyrinth, she’s terrified that it might. snow on the beach also talks about the celestial forces that bring two people together; mastermind confesses that she was the force in question all along. bejeweled describes the confidence and freedom of bending the rules of a relationship; high infidelity is filled with guilt and terror for simply dancing with another guy. she takes the money on you’re on your own, kid, but she feels stifled by it on anti-hero. she ends you’re on your own, kid with inspiring words; on dear reader, she warns the audience not to listen to her advice. she burns in hell on anti-hero, but karma is her god on karma. she can face any struggle fame throws at her on you’re on your own, kid, but she’s too soft for all of it on sweet nothing. she’s a diamond and a monster on the hill at the same time. it’s almost like each story is told from multiple perspectives like the love triangle on folklore, but instead of several fictional characters, the narrators all exist in different corners of taylor’s mind.

Top five ways in which drarry get together in a fic
Yasss this is what we deserve!!!!! I have so much more than 5 but right now I thought of these, in no particular order:
1. Following kinky courting by @bixgirl1:
“Have you decided, then?” Harry asks, getting to the real question. “About me?”
“Potter, I decided I would sub for you before I knew what the bloody fuck it was,” Draco says with a loud exhale. Harry’s startled by the honesty, by the sheer longing in Draco’s tone, and yet somehow… not.
2. Casually bonding over trauma (and comfort sex 🌝) by @lazywonderlvnd:
"I just told you, it's something to do," said Malfoy. "Something mindless to do. Been sort of a weird night, hasn’t it? I don't think it can get much weirder."
3. Comparing dick sizes by astolat:
“No one asked you to look, did they? I don’t mind, Potter. You can give it a pull, too, if you want to know what a big one feels like.”
4. Just two bros chillin at the Leaky loo by @lqtraintracks:
"Nice shoes," he said. Then he looked at Draco's face. "Fancy a fuck?" Draco couldn't prevent the warm chuckle. "Muggle Prada does it for you, Potter?"
5. Kissing your crush to the same song your dad kissed his crush to by @writcraft
Perhaps they’ve both been caught unawares, by the unexpected, desperate force of attraction that has crackled and sparked between them from the moment Harry walked into that little café on another rainy day in London. “It’s the song from Black’s diary.” Draco brushes his fingers against Harry’s jumper, which is just as soft and warm as it looks. “An excellent choice.”
Bonus: through with Ron by @sweet-s0rr0w :
“I wanted you, Draco,” Harry whispers, and the words are slow, like unwrapping a gift. “I want you now, too.”
“And Ron?” Draco asks, still hesitating, as though Ron hadn’t orchestrated this entire thing. Ron pulls off then, a wicked expression on his face as he looks between the two of them.

College Boyfriend Zhongli
Characters: Zhongli x gn!reader
Genre: fluff
A/N: Prequel/Background to the “Professor Zhongli but you’re his spouse and not his student” series. The brainrot inflicted by @hiraya-rawr (dw hun, your specialty treat is in progress atm!!)
The professor and the spouse series
Admittedly, he is quite the eye candy for everyone that attends classes alongside him, but he’s always ready to decline any date invitations, if they’re not from you, his all time favourite person.
You get bragging rights for being this man’s s/o. Fucking congratulations. He is great husband material (cough and y’all DO marry soo…)
He walks you to the lectures that he doesn’t have with you and picks you up whenever he can! He also always wants to have lunch with you, may it be at school, outside somewhere in town or at either your places.
He’s not much of a party person in college as during his rowdier early high school times (he was a dignified high schooler, but he had a slight tsundere phase bc it was puberty aka the teenage dirtbag era)
Oh this goes for both college and prof Zhongli or just any Zhongli tbh. He smells so good and whenever he gives you one of his soft sweaters, you’re in immediate heaven, it’s like being engulfed in a Zhongli hug. He thinks it’s cute.
He’s such a simp for you, my god, he’s so loving. Definitely holds your hand if you like it and presses gentle kisses to your forehead/hair.
You two go on lots of local cafe dates and the grandmas and aunties there love him, because he’s such a handsome and polite guy, who is always down for a chit chat.
“Ah, A-Li! Is that the person you’ve been telling us about? Come get them to sit with us, they have such a lovely face!”
They embarrass him a little by exposing his simpery for you <3
Sometimes you’re studying a lot and can’t see him as much as you’d like, but it’s quite adorable how he shows up at the library to sit at the same table with you. He patiently waits for you to finish up, while either doing work himself or just reading a book. (he brought snacks and tea for you)
He likes to invite you over to his flat and you meet his flatmates, their flatmate bonding cook offs are so great and epic and you’re fairly certain that this man only knows how to cook so he doesn’t get criticised to death by his friends. They also love to poke fun at him and also expose him like the cafe grandmas hehe
He naps like a dad. It started during college and it never stopped, so as a professor, he still naps like a dad.
With dad napping I mean falling asleep sitting on the couch, arms crossed with his glasses slightly shifted.
You two once got matching silly keychains when you were out and he never stopped using it, since in his later years, the little gudetama charm is slightly damaged from weathering and the paint is chipped, but it has so much puppy love stored in it, that he uses it to decorate his USB thumb drive <3

Continuation of hyena soap au
His fur is really matted because he doesn’t take proper care of his monster form, there’s jagged scars everywhere and wounds that didn’t heal properly because he didn’t give them the time or took care of them enough in that form
The 141 now has this big 8 foot tall hyena that’s all dirty and sickly lookin and they’re like, “this is unacceptable, we’re cleaning you and taking care of you now”
And soap, soap is forced to go along with it because he knows damn well that the 141 isn’t going to let this slide
So he gets pampered and treated, he’s given a bath (he’s outside in his monster form and they’re spraying water at him from basically every direction), then he gets looked at by medical for all of the scars to see if there’s anything wrong with how they healed, and then they brush him out and he’s all soft and fluffy after
They ask him why his mouth looks funny and he unhinges his jaw all the way so it’s slack and they can see all the teeth in his mouth and everything else, it looks terrifying and ghost takes a picture
Yes they do give him pets and loves and after all that’s done they all sit together leaning on soap and sleep like that

i want to write an essay about jojo and lgbt representation cuz it's insane to me how much araki took inspiration from gay and trans artists (giorno's design was inspired by gay fashion, jojolion's entire sailor aesthetic, some of the very first poses in the series being based on art by antonio lopez and tony viramontes, the homoeroticism in general) but then the lgbt rep is like. evil bisexual vampire. two gay couples that have barely any character and get brutally murdered. a literal pedophile. i feel like dragona is an improvement but they just feel like araki isn't sure how to write a trans woman

I have lots of thoughts on how the animatronics minds work (especially Sun and Moon) and idk where to put this since it’s not fanfic worthy but I feel the need to put it all down somewhere
Sorta just a brain dump don’t mind me
(just some preface I have very little programming experience and while some of this alludes to real psychology, this is not scientifically accurate at all, just my headcannons)
Now first to establish how the AI work it’s essentially a learning system that compiles multiple directives and inputs to make a decision.
Basically there are multiple learning modules that each receive the same sensory input, but each module has a different directive that it codes for. For example pretty much every animatronic has a “safety” directive that prioritizes human safety and the Glamrocks have a “showtime” directive that helps them perform on stage. Each animatronic can have hundreds to thousands of directives running at any given point. Each directive essentially works by taking the sensory input given to it and spitting out a suggested “action” that should take place given its directive. These actions are then sent to the core processor where there the taken action is chosen. For example, if an animatronic sees a fallen child, an action suggested by the “showtime” directive would be to sing to the child, but a directive from the “safety” directive would be scanning for wounds. Both actions would be sent to the core processor, and based upon probability algorithms (where each action is assigned a probability of 0-100% of being chosen, based on a variety of factors), it would likely choose the safety protocol action. So like the singing option would be assigned a probability of 2% and the scan for wounds suggestion would be assigned a probability of 98%. (Staff consider the “choosing” of a particular action to be completely random, but to the animatronics it’s sorta their free will) This process happens multiple times every second, allowing for adaptability and additions to the behavior. Very basic robots, like the staff bots, only work on one or two directives, making them much less adaptable and sentient compared to the others. It should be noted that not all suggested actions are actual “physical” actions, some could be replaying a memory, changing the probability of another directive being chosen, or simply stating a fact/opinion that a particular directive emphasizes. For an example for the last one, the safety directive could point out “there is snow outside, it will be cold” which could lead to a change in probability for another directive, like the “proper attire” directive.
Now one thing about these directives is that each animatronic has differing levels of awareness of them. Awareness of directives manifests as sorta being able to hear one’s thoughts, like being aware of your own decision making process or hearing thoughts that you otherwise would not act on. Ranking the more complex animatronics in order of least to most aware of their directives we have, Monty, DJ, Chica, Freddy, Roxy, and the DCA (my beloved).
Starting with Monty, even though he’s the least aware of his directives, this doesn’t mean he’s the least sentient. Simply put, he’s a action man first think later kinda guy. He doesn’t like dwelling too long on thoughts or feelings that aren’t important to the present situation. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t still have them though. This ends up messing with his core processor probability mechanism, making him far more impulsive than any other animatronic. When he starts getting errant inputs from a virulent directive (cough cough the peepaw virus) this causes him to act out more violently. He also has a bit of an issue straight up ignoring thoughts that are “bad” to him, like anything to do with a certain rabbit animatronic. 
DJ simply vibes man. He has fewer directives compared to the other complex animatronics, mainly because he rarely directly interacts with humans and tends to stay in one place. This however makes him unstable when a new set of directives are put in place that entail security (the bouncer mode). But he’s overall less impulsive than Monty and is self aware of what directives are running at any given point. He rarely has any conflicts with any of the thoughts he receives, so he doesn’t dwell on them. He is the second most stable animatronic emotionally.
Chica is sorta similar to Monty in that she tends to avoid her thoughts and feelings. She’s a far more self aware of them, and purposely takes actions to avoid hearing them (ie overeating) but other than thoughts that depress her, she’s relatively in tune with them. She ends up being very extroverted as she becomes less aware of her directives when shes with others. This makes her seem kinda airheaded, but when she is alone she does tends to get more contemplative. However when a virus starts to isolate her and increase the number of directives/thoughts that upset her, she goes fully into her bad habits.
Freddy is probably the most stable out of all the animatronics (other than maybe DJ). Even before the virus started to effect everyone, Freddy was always the most dependable and strong. In terms of his headspace, this is mainly because he has a good balance of aware and unaware directives. As seen with those previous, having too little awareness of one’s directives can cause impulsiveness, and we will see later what over awareness can do. Even when Freddy has unwanted thoughts/directives, he is able to reason and process them in a healthy way. Some directives relating to Bonnie do mess with his processor though, but other than those, he is relatively stable.
Roxy tries to seem like she doesn’t care, or hear her own thoughts, but that is a fat lie. She has a lot of errant directives that greatly affect the probability calculations of her core processor. This mainly stems from a lot of her directives being related to her appearance, giving her a lot of input she can’t do anything directly about unless she calls staff. This has given her a lot of self image issues. She makes up for this by continually choosing the most “cool” options, even if it’s not the best action for the situation. This leads to her being pretty mean to the other animatronics, staff, and kids. She’s closest to Chica, as she’s the only one who also has a lot of appearance directives (ayo sexism?), but as mentioned before she has more methods to quiet those thoughts.
Last but not least the daycare attendant. The daycare attendant is unique in that it has two main “modes” Sun and Moon. Each mode has the same directives and core processor, but the probabilities of suggested actions being chosen are changed greatly between the two. For example, the probability of naptime and security directive actions being chosen are reduced greatly in Sun mode, and playtime and crafting directives are reduced in Moon mode. Meaning if the situation calls for it, the other mode can still access its counterparts directives, but in daily use the likelihood of those options being taken are so low they basically never happen. This was meant to be the only difference between the two modes, as with only one processor, there would essentially be only one animatronic in the body. But there was a bug that lead to the memories of the daycare attendant to be split. Now one thing to clarify, memories are considered sensory input, so they go directly to directive modules to aid in learning, but don’t necessarily need to pass through the main processor. However, the only way animatronics are able to consciously recall a memory is if a directive  suggests playing it to the main processor, and that can change its probability calculations. Now the bug Sun and Moon have prevents directives from replaying memories from their counterparts database, essentially preventing recall from an event that happens to them in the other mode. But, the individual directives still processed the memories as they happened regardless of mode (for psychology nerds Sun and Moon basically share implicit memories but don’t share explicit). Now if the daycare attendant were any other animatronic, they would probably be okay. Maybe have some memory issues but their directives are in sync so they would still be one animatronic, except both Sun and Moon are hyper aware of their individual thoughts/directives. Moon sometimes gets thoughts to yell and wake all the children he spent an hour trying to get to bed. Sun wakes up to suddenly have multiple thoughts about certain children needing punishment, except for Sun that child was fine for him. For both, the others memories and directives creates intrusive thoughts for the other, making it difficult to discern which thoughts and feelings belong to them, and which belong to the other. This made both start to develop distinct identities, to the point they consider the other a completely different AI (even though again, they only have one processor). Moon’s directives are far more dangerous compared to Sun’s so for him this has created massive anxiety and frustration. He is not only receiving thoughts and input that are not safe for when children are around, but he is also constantly second guessing himself, not knowing whether or not an action will cause unwanted harm. This makes Sun the incredibly nervous person we see. Moon in general is less scared of his counterpart’s interference, but the constant barrage of both his own and Sun’s thoughts is a lot to deal with. This leads to him being kind of a recluse and really quiet, earning the reputation as the plex cryptid from the other animatronics. He also has a major complex when it comes to comparing himself to Sun, being overly self deprecating and having a skewed viewpoint as to how Sun is like (since they don’t really ‘know’ each other very well). His overthinking is somewhat lessened when he becomes friends with Monty and forms a line of communication with Sun (essentially writing notes to each other constantly), but once Monty joins the main band and the virus starts affecting Moon, everything starts to go south. The virus is a directive, so technically it affects both Sun and Moon, however, the probability of “virus” directives being chosen is far higher for Moon than Sun (since it’s categorized as a security directive). Therefore we have both Sun constantly receiving these extremely distressing thoughts and Moon acting on these thoughts. Tldr, both Sun and Moon are extreme overthinkers who have intrusive thoughts, for Sun this causes anxiety, for Moon this causes depression.
Extra stuff:
Sun and Moon tend to get overwhelmed when they are in situations that activate their counterparts directives. For example darkness and conflict for Sun and bright lights and loud noises for Moon. This leads to them both avoiding these situations as often as possible (Sun being conflict avoidant and Moon preferring a nice dark quiet space to hide away in).
Staff are not sure what determines how aware an animatronic is of their own directives and write it off as a bug.
The virus very specifically targets instabilities in the animatronics programming, taking directives from the base processor and twisting them to be more violent and bad. Basically taking their worst personality traits and turning them against the animatronic. For example, for Moon it amplifies his negative thoughts about Sun, the other animatronics and himself, and suggests violent ways to deal with it. This is how they are able to amplify the probability of these violent actions from being chosen.

I can’t stop thinking about going to a rehearsal dinner for your friends wedding and getting paired up with Josh for the actual wedding ceremony..
Like you and Josh don’t know each other and she’s all giddy introducing the two of you together (her embarrassing you by telling Josh you’re new in town and very, very single)
Sitting next to him for the dinner striking up small conversations throughout the night, learning little pieces of information about each other here and there. By the end of the night you two even have your own inside joke (that even months later at the actual wedding you two still are crying tears over with each other)
Maybe even by the end of the rehearsal dinner you feel him lightly touch your arm, “Hey, would you want to grab a coffee sometime? I would love to get to know you more.” To which you happily type your phone number in his phone.

Surface Pressure from Encanto really does capture the essence of being an older sister. always at your breaking point but never really breaking because you CAN’T. staying quiet because standing up for yourself will make your life hell. always fighting a million small battles when those around you don’t even realize there’s a war going on. the bar being so low that a little bit of quiet “me time” is the height of mental health. all while making sure you at least try to set a good example for your younger sibling(s).

this song is so kenshi core and i have an entire essay explaining why but essentially i feel like it's representative of his time in the yakuza (more analysis under cut)
the song title そのまんまそのまんま、そのままずっとそまま translates as "as it is, as it is, without change." to me, this is probably how he felt following orders: day in, day out, it's all the same, without change.
the verses all follow the same pattern:
as it is, as it is, without change
it's always been the same, so let's go back to sleep
have a good night, have a good night, have a good night
now please rest peacefully*
*this part of the verses change with each verse. they're usually subtle parts of a day (i'm tired now, there's a ramune salad waiting for me, i have school tomorrow). every time this verse repeats, it's a new day, a new night, but it's all the same, except for such minute differences that it barely matters.
there are two bridges in the song, and to me it sounds like a maddening cycle-- and really, i'm only calling them "a bridge" because they're the only part of the song that doesn't follow the verse structure. i'm not sure if that means what i'm calling the verses are choruses, or if what im calling the bridges are choruses, and i don't care. i'm just using these words to describe them.
the bridges give a bit more story to the song, a break from the maddening cycle of day in, day out, as it is, as it is, without change.
bridge 1:
"The way home is disappearing
School's already out for the day
Ahh, I've got to get back quickly now
There's a Ramune salad waiting for me
I don't think I know anything
Being run over by flounder and sea breams
Stuffed into a tortoise shell
And once again it's timе to go back to school"
again, this song represents a cycle without change. the first bridge feels like the fall of his sanity; working for the yakuza, day in, day out, without change has to take a toll on your psyche. the lyrics "the way home is disappearing", "i don't think i know anything", and "and once again, it's time to go back to school" strike a particular chord in this chorus. kenshi likely doesn't have a sense of self working with the yakuza, all he knows is his life of bloodshed. i interpret the "way home" as his family, the taira clan, and how deeply rooted they are within the yakuza. on top of that, all of the lines that relate to "going back to school" i'm interpreting as going back to work and working and working and working.
bridge 2:
"I've been dreaming about it for so long
Your voice is the only one I can hear
The road in my head is rotten and decayed
And I still hear you talking to me"
now, i don't know a super whole ton about kenshi's backstory, and i'm basing most everything i know on MK1 and bits and pieces i've read about him. in my mind, this verse applies to someone who made him want out. there had to have been a moment, or person, that made kenshi snap and want to leave the yakuza and free his clan. maybe he fell in love, or maybe he took an innocent life and it weighed heavier on his conscious, something like that.
sure, he's likely dreamt of freedom before, but being born into a criminal empire doesn't normally constitute a rebellion. something happens that makes you think and question your loyalties. i think this was a person, maybe someone he cared about or someone he killed, but i think that was what finally inspired him to leave. maybe the voice talking to him is his conscious! either way, i think this is his breaking point
after this verse, the song starts to repeat the day in, day out mantra again. as it is, as it is, without change. at this point though, the rest of the sound and music is very chaotic. to me, this could apply to internal turmoil- the background, the sounds, they're chaotic, uncoordinated, emotional, but on the outside, everything is fine, the words repeat and stay the same. inside, turmoil, outside, calm. he's keeping up appearances as he plans his escape.
again, most of this post is about my limited knowledge of his character from mk1! that's the only game i've played so far, but i think the new timeline probably gives me a bit of leeway here LMAOOO
this post is very all over the place and i apologize because my thoughts are very much not organized. this is just an info dump abt a song i love and a character i love. ok love u bye

eden ayn or godhiem ayn
this is a tough one. i love both, but i'd say eden ayn!
his whole thing about being so duty bound that only death could be a release from everything broke my heart. he's a complex character, certainly — and i enjoy it when characters are initially distrustful.
i cried so many times over his route. especially BE 3

rambling about double life
so you know how people with amputated limbs often experience phantom pain? well what if soulmates had that kind of thing, but in places that never existed before
like scar and tango often feel this odd aching behind their backs that shouldn’t make sense because there’s nothing there? meanwhile jimmy and grian’s wings are bleeding or bruised
jimmy and bigb occasionally feel like they broke a bone somewhere behind them, but have no idea what hurts. ren and tango’s tails have been stepped on from across the map
also that when someone’s soulmate experiences strong emotions they can feel it through themselves
(something something when scar was upset about not finding his soulmate grian was equally upset about thinking that scar didn’t want him as his soulmate so they could both feel each other’s pain but neither knew about the emotions thing. something something jimmy could feel tangos anger about the ranch burning down and tango could feel jimmy’s fear and both amplified each’s emotions. something something pearl was so upset about scott leaving her because she could feel his upset about her not caring enough to find him which he pretended was anger)

I cannot stop thinking about Mac's fucked up energon physiology confounding and vexing various -ologists. Someone pays her enough that she agrees to do a PET scan while actively accessing information from the data cylinder and she literally breaks the machine. Her blood has a pH of 5.
Oh she'd be the source of so many research papers. Neurology is working their ass to find a way to map her active brainwaves without frying another $1 million machine. Hematology and nephrology are both confused at how her system works to determine what is and isn't considered waste in her bloodstream. Toxicology put a note in her chart that all of her medical waste was to be treated like chemotherapeutic waste. Dermatology is worried about her skin reacting with her blood and ophthalmology is worried her eyes could get damaged. But podiatry said she's a-okay so there's a win!

dont want to hot take on @ahhhhhwhat's great post, but I think fandom would have less fights in general if it could understand that friendships are equally / if not more important than romantic feelings.
like, idk if yall just never had close friends, but I would absolutely go the extra mile for them and I just know if I were a fictional character people would tell me I'm doing it because I love them so much (romantically). Like "Oh, she organised that a cake was sent to A*** house for his birthday and says its because she felt bad that he couldnt celebrat during the pandemic but clearly it is because she wants to bang him" or whatever. like no. i just really really value my friends.
