#i now associate a song to this bc i looped it the whole time i was working on this

[baejax-the-great]

[First, I was rereading "Agua Caliente" and I remembered a song that played a lot in my childhood (and I had kind of forgotten) bc the lyrics somehow matched the Patrochilles dynamic in this fic. This is kind of funny bc I would never in my life associate sertanejo (it's a type of country music, I think? Idk I've never heard country, but the aesthetic is kind of similar. Anyway, it's pretty popular here) with shipping an ancient Greek couple in modern AU, but ok. And I went to listen to this song again and now I'm listening to it on a loop, so thanks for that.]

Now the real question! It's perhaps a strange question, but do you plan what you write? Like, before you write, do you have the whole structured idea in mind? I could have sworn it was like that reading the fics, but then some notes on Ao3 and certain things you say on Tumblr started to make me reflect that maybe you don't plan as much as I thought… in that case, how do you manage to connect everything so well without looking like something was left out/without prior planning??? It's magic, technique, luck or actually do you plan?

Sorry if the question is a bit "???" but I'm REALLY thinking about this! I used to write fics years ago and I was in the "won't plan" group and as expected the fics came out obviously unplanned (but that was ok with me bc it was just to pass the time and I didn't expect it to be an engaging story or anything), and here's why this ask exists: it's precisely bc I was in the “won't plan” group that I'm really intrigued by the possibility of you NOT planning bc it just doesn't seem that way reading your fics...

The short answer is that I do plan what I write, but probably not enough.

I rarely start writing a fic with an entire idea. Often it's just a vibe. But I won't start posting a fic until I know exactly what the conflict is and how it will be resolved.

This was easy in ATG, for example, because I'd already written the resolution before I even decided to write the fic. Structuring it by Patroclus's age also helped, because I could make an outline with the stuff that needed to happen and then jam stuff I wanted to happen around it. That "Stuff" could be really specific--obviously Pat had to graduate school and Achilles had to go to the Olympics on specific years, and it was also like, this section should have them fighting. This section should have them getting along, but Achilles is hiding this big lie so there should be a weird tension.

In Sunset, it took me longer to figure out the conflict/resolution. Sure, I knew that Achilles was going to cry on a Chicago street corner and get naked in Pat's kitchen, but why was he there? How did he get there? I had already written Achilles settling in to Pat's place and the scene where he gets into the lake before I decided on Aphrodite being the key to explain this whole thing. Then I knew Pat had to die. But a lot of the stuff that happened in the middle was sort of on a whim (particularly Achilles getting on the wrong L train-that was definitely just an impulse I had while finishing that chapter). Tecmessa's chapter was also a later addition, and a deeply self-indulgent one, hah.

Agua was the least planned of these three, and in some ways it was because the idea was a lot simpler. After three years, Achilles runs into Patroclus again and they reconcile in some way. I knew exactly how Patroclus would feel about the whole thing (relieved, guilty, upset, wounded, hopeful, upset about feeling hopeful). My original plan was just to set up Achilles in his shop and his new life doing his best and have him run into Patroclus at the beach, and eventually they'd go to the desert. I wrote parts of their meeting first, and then I started writing the beginning and ended up scrapping most of that. I realized I was going to have to do a lot more writing for poor Achilles. My lack of planning here did cause some difficulties--I had like three versions of that date he went on with Pat with different endings. One involved Pat in the hospital, lmao. Zag and Meg coming to stay with Achilles were kind of whims, and I had meant to have Hypnos show up for "his turn" and have Achilles send him home because no, these were not team-building exercises, but then I forgot 😩.

The reason that I need to know the conflict/resolution at the start is because I do think all the scenes in a fic should relate to it in some way, either by building up the conflict or setting the groundwork for a resolution. Even for the impulsive scenes I add just for fun, I think about how they can do this. For example, Achilles getting lost on the L allowed me to build up Pat's unreasonable anxiety, show that Ajax was also feeling it to some extent, and end in Pat saying "fuck it" and just giving in to making out with his hot, ancient boyfriend. It was also something that happened to a friend who was visiting me from out of the country and didn't have a working cell phone. That moment of watching him through the window of the L as it slowly pulled away is just etched in my memory.

In Agua Caliente, almost anything could relate to the resolution, because the resolution was "Achilles having a life," thus it didn't require as much planning. Zagreus's apartment getting flooded (something that happened to me in grad school) showed Achilles attempting to be flexible with some success while allowing himself to become closer to Zagreus, which led to a point of connection with his kids. It also made it easier to explain why Achilles was doing Zag's delivery that day when he ran into Pat. There were only a couple things that truly needed to happen in AC for the fic to make sense, and that was a resolution with Achilles' kids and then with Patroclus, of course.

I do get loose threads sometimes, side conflicts or things that didn't end up going anywhere, and those things tend to annoy me until I figure out a way to resolve them or make them otherwise relevant. Or I don't. Or sometimes I realize I need to add something/someone into the fic, and it would have been smoother if I'd added it in an earlier chapter so it didn't seem like a convenient thing I'd just thought of to solve a problem. That's always annoying to me. But whatever. It's fanfic. That's the risk of posting while you write.

#actually now that I'm thinking about the L thing #did Julia suggest it? #I think I talked to her a lot about this part of the fic #either way it was a late addition #also looked up sertanejo music and reddit recommended the song o soberano #I speak zero portuguese beyond obrigado #but it had 'sober' in the title which felt fitting #I also broke my own rule with WitD #I don't actually know exactly how I'll resolve this atm #though I woke up with some ideas #anyway this is rambly #I once drew a truly shitty diagram of my process #if you have more specific questions I can try to answer #def should have had coffee before writing this

[catchyhuh]

… I heard talk of a playlist. Any chance you’re willing to share a) playlists (I go feral for them) or b) a handful of songs you associate with the characters? Also no sweat if you don’t wanna, bc I personally… am not sure I’d want to subject people to MY Lupin playlists heheh

OH I MEANT MY BIG PLAYLIST OF LIKE YUJI OHNO although. i have not been immune to associating these freaks with music for um. 5 years now. as a whole i have no idea how id put it into playlist form officially BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOME TEENY PIECES!!!

lupin: hrm. razzle dazzle from chicago. it’s all about those bullshit theatrics baby OH MY GOD AND WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES BY THE DOOBIE BROTHERS. BIG LOOP SONG TO ME

jigen: billy joel gives me jigen energy but especially new york state of mind. you know? you know. i’m looking over this after “finishing” it and everybody has two songs but him. but it would be. funny to put assassin princess by mitchie m. 

fujiko: BIG SPENDER BY PEGGY LEE for obvious reasons but also piano x forte x scandal by oster project for OTHER obvious reasons!! ESPECIALLY the instrumentals like really if vocaloid isn’t your thing just listen to the backtrack and you will understand everything at once

goemon: FUCK i can’t remember the last time i found a goemon banger outside of the franchise itself because i always think of fairy night when i think of him. like the. the lupin song BUT IT’S SUCH A STRONG ASSOCIATION i guess. hm. let’s do laughter in the rain by neil sedaka. simple but pleasant happy memory type stuff

zenigata: FUCK (but with a slightly different intonation) arguably new kid in town by the eagles applies to. everyone. but i think he deserves the treat here since he's just statistically more unhappy!! yippee! also love trial by 40mp if i wanna be funny. because it is, it is funny,

i think my problem is that it’s much easier for me to find songs that. sound the way lupin looks. to me. if that makes any sense at all. like, as opposed to tying them down to specific characters each time. lyrics? only occasionally. instrumentation? ENTIRELY. but like foolish heart by steve perry and hisstocrat from super mario 3d world were not meant to be on the same playlist so it’s a bit messy up in here (i’m pointing at my noggin)

#nobody say anything about the strange blend of 70s dad rock and hatsune miku. im a man of varied yet simple tastes #lupin #jigen #fujiko #goemon #zenigata #asks #lupinions #technically i think

[carneflower13]

perceives those character questions... how about ur man seymour anddd.. homura. variety. you don't gotta do both if you don't want

SEYMOUR!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH <3

favorite thing about them: Oh god do I have to pick just one thing?? I love his hair, I love his glasses, I love his clothes, I love his voice....I love how sweet he is to Audrey and to his plants <3 I also love how he was immediately convinced to kill orin when he saw him hurting audrey like YESSSSS KING!!! THE GUY SURE LOOKS LIKE PLANT FOOD TO ME!! He is also so SO sopping wet and pathetic and that only makes me love him even more.

least favorite thing about them: NOOOOOO I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING I DISLIKE ABOUT HIM I LOVE HIM TOO MUUUUUCH

favorite line: "Hi, Audrey! You look radiant today~ <3" OR "Twoey, that's disgusting." OR "You watch your language!"

brOTP: i guess him and twoey but only in AUs where twoey is actually nice and isn't trying to eat the world. I would like for him to have more actual people to be friends with!!

OTP: Him and Audrey, obviously. Literally they made me believe love is real <3

nOTP: Seymour/Twoey or Seymour/Orin. He does not deserve that kind of suffering.

random headcanon: He has autism (just like me!) and his special interest is plants/botany, specifically weird and exotic plants (His monologue in "da-doo" could be interpreted as him infodumping). Also, he's prone to sensory overloads bc he gets overwhelmed easily ;w;

unpopular opinion: hmmmm. idk. i think some people give him too much credit for his actions. some people like to act like he was some secretly fucked up mastermind from the beginning but he's literally Just Some Guy who was talked into killing people by a giant plant bc his life sucked and as far as he knew, he didn't have any other chance to make things better. he was living in poverty and stuck in a dead-end job. he was desperate. did he make mistakes? yeah of course he did. but like. idk. i feel like everything was more twoey's fault than seymour's.

song i associate with them: "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka. Its from around the same era the movie takes place in and I can picture him singing it for whatever reason.

favorite picture of them: LISTEN i have a whole folder of pictures of this man its impossible for me to pick just one BUT:

this recent addition to my collection is pretty cute <3 he looks soft i just wanna kiss his cheeks and give him a big ol hug

aaaaaand now homura

favorite thing about them: SHE IS LITERALLY SO COOL. I like that she seems cold and distant but is actually feeling SO MUCH beneath the surface. I also like when she uses her guns or her time-shield thingy. OH and the sassy little hair-flips she does sometimes!!! ALSO she kicks kyubbey's ass all the time it's great. I also have a weakness for characters who have distinct "before" and "after" personalities (Homura's being her shy pre-magical girl/time loop self and her serious self that we see for most of the series)

least favorite thing about them: Her whole deal at the end of Rebellion is kind of weird I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it (I think the main series ended on a well-enough note) but her demon design is still pretty cool. Also she kind of gets into Madoka's business a lot like showing up at her window in the middle of the night?? It's funny but also girl what the hell are you doing?

favorite line: Uhhh I don't remember any of her actual quotes from the series so here's one from the legendary video Meduka Meguca: "MEDUKA DON'T GOOOOOOOOO"

brOTP: I feel like if her and Mami had a better, less antagonistic relationship they could be good friends.

OTP: Her and Madoka of course! <3

nOTP: I have no idea.

random headcanon: She is autistic and also a lesbian to me <3

unpopular opinion: ummmmm i don't know lol i don't really interact with the pmmm fandom much

song i associate with them: "In the End" by Linkin Park. I'm pretty sure I saw an AMV with her set to that song way back. Plus, the lyrics fit her situation pretty well

favorite picture of them: This one speaks to me

#jess speaks #seymour krelborn #homura akemi #answered asks #this was fun ehehehe >:3

[phoebe-delia]

hi !! i love all your tswift content !! it’s always so fun when interests in fandom overlap. i know you already answered about your favorite songs by her but i was wondering what your top 5 favorite albums are and also how/when you got into tswift !! 💖

(ps. i’m a new swiftie - my sister got me into her just this past year right before red (taylor’s version) came out so i only know all the songs from lover, fearless (taylor’s version), red (taylor’s version), and also reputation bc my sister just spent a whole week playing me every single song by her and she would ask me how i liked each song after and i guess a lot of my favorites were from reputation hahah - i have a thing about having to motivate myself to learning new albums bc when i start i basically just play it on loop until i know every song and i haven’t been able to get myself to do that since red but folklore and evermore are def next !! :) - and so far my ranking would be reputation, lover, red, fearless !!!)

HI!! This ask made me smile so big, so thank you. I sometimes worry that I talk about her too much, or people will get annoyed, but it's always gratifying and relieving and fun when other people love her too and are willing to indulge and/or join me in ranting about her and her music and its connections to Drarry.

Also, welcome to the madness! And kudos to your sister for getting you into Taylor. Mine did the same for me, actually, to answer your second question first lol. I was aware of Taylor growing up—I have a vivid memory of seeing Teardrops On My Guitar advertised on Disney channel. I heard YBWM and Love Story on the radio. (And "White Horse," though for a long time I thought it was called "Come Around" lmaooo).

I discovered even more of her songs when my older sister would drive us both to school and blast Taylor's music in the car. It was around the time that Red first came out. My sister would blast "All Too Well," and when it got to the lead-up to the bridge, she'd turn the volume increasingly louder, and louder, and louder until it got to "Well maybe we got lost in translation." We'd listen to songs from Red and Speak Now and Fearless, and I loved every second of it. (I have one memory of not knowing all the lyrics to "Forever and Always" but trying to sing along anyway and my sister asking me to stop singing if I didn't know the words 😂😂).

Taylor's songs really defined a lot of my adolescence. Her songs got me through heartbreaks and made me feel so seen. They still do. And it's incredible to see new Swifties like you get the same value from her music.

So, to answer your first question, here are my top 5 favorite Taylor albums!

1. Speak Now

2. Red (TV)

3. 1989

4. Fearless (TV)

5. folklore

I really love all her albums, but I have very vivid associations with the songs on those 5 albums, both in my personal life and with just experiencing being a fan when they came out.

I do with rep, too! I remember being shocked—in the best way—by LWYMMD song/music video and gasping when I heard her say "shit" for the first time. Also, since you ranked it first on your list, reputation has a ton of bangers and underrated songs; I can't wait for the vault tracks lol. Lover is underrated too. And Fearless is just a classic. Taylor really is a genius lol.

Thank you so so much for sending this in. I always get a thrill from asks, but it's especially exciting to get these kinds of requests and to hear from fellow Swiftie/Drarry people. 💛

#thanks for this! it made me smile #asks #ama #ask me stuff #taylor swift #swifties

Ooooo okay so for the music game I’d love to know what song you associate Toji with 😳

The one that comes to my mind that I heard recently is Craving by YMIR - https://youtu.be/NAGj2FpW4ok

Damn okay so i was not ready for this (a new song has been added to the playlist) this goes hard!

okay okay, so I have a whole playlist for this man :| this horrible horrible man. but the main one I always think about for Canon!Toji is

Villains of Circumstance by Queens of the Stone Age

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsqhJcGbaEI

specifically because of this verse

There's no magic bullet, no cure for pain What's done is done, 'til you do it again Life in pursuit of a nameless prey I've been so close, I'm so far away It's so hard to explain, so easy to feel I need you now, nothing is real Save me from the villains of circumstance Before I lose my place

his grief for Mamaguro is just so tragic, like it was the first time he had meaning in his life, and he lost it, and now he's stuck back in this endless loop of gambling, fighting, losing, winning, all on the brink of death. also the chorus of "close your eyes and dream me home" and the panel when he's dying and thinks of her are just match so beautifully and painfully :((((

(also the concept of being a villain of circumstance is one of my favourite ideas and I really want to explore that one day >_<)

as for Fanon!Toji, it's Off to the Races by Lana Del Rey (bc I cannot talk about Toji without talking about Lana)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k53aLj72MYE

hsgfl can you imagine going on a wild spending spree with Toji after a big win? the decadence, the drama. It's old school Lana too, the original daddy's girl music, if you will. this naive, kinda toxic, indulgent relationship of being Toji's little plaything, but also having him wrapped around your little finger is just top tier. ughhh

Thank you <3

#i feel like this is so incoherent #I'm so sorry #there are so many more songs though #a WHOLE playlist #killingmoon games

has anyone sent The Extremely Funny And Humorous Number Yet. i'm not but i am gonna send a lot of others to be a nuisance!

1 3 7 11 13 21 :)

nobody has done that yet actually! :)

genshin impact music??? this is cringe! it's a really good song & i keep it looped whenever i'm drawing. it hasn't left my on repeat playlist all year.

i remember i was at the beach with my friends over the summer when this first came out & i think i made them all watch the MV with me. kenshi yonezu is just so cool. i love his voice. i'll listen to him forever.

i know mother mother has a reputation for having Gender songs. i've listened to all of them however & this is the only one i really like

this song hits different when i think about people i am no longer friends with & i mean that in a positive way because i get to be angry at them. semi-related to that i was thinking & i came to the realization that my ex woulda been into NFTs so i really dodged a bullet

i was visiting froot when this song came out!!! i showed it to his gf on my art tablet & i listened to it for like 5 consecutive hours of the drive home so now i forever associate it with driving up a GIGANTIC blue bridge in pennsylvania (?) & thinking about how long it would take to fall off the bridge if i drove through the rails. but not in an edgy way just a kinda "huh i'm really high up" way

i really like this song. it came out later in the year or else it'd probably be higher up bc i think it's been in my "on repeat" playlist this whole time.

you didn’t ask this but i’m answering it anyway!!!!!!

[teb-gingerdanger]

rules: answer 8 prompts with 8 songs, then tag 8 people!

tagged by the ever lovely @glitterfreckly <3

1. your favorite song at the moment

‘Paint It Black’ by Hidden Citizens has played on loop in my head for weeks now. The lyrics are about mourning & grief, but this cover makes it dramatic & sinister, like trying to make the whole world feel the same...

2. a song you associate with a favorite character or ship

‘Killer in the Mirror’ by Set It Off. A few of you might recognize this already bc I put it as the first song in my Perpetual playlist as well. As such, it makes me think of ‘Zuko Alone’ and ‘Jet’ so very much still. And as much as the lyrics are about being alone & mistrust, the video has a different turn of finding others who are like you, and reemerging as the victor after all. 

3. a song that could be about you

ooh, this is gonna be a personal one maybe but... ‘Change’ by NF. First time I heard it was soon after this entire album first came out. ‘The Search’ is another great one, but it was more specific to NF, while ‘Change’ has a broader feel. The lyrics say enough.

4. a song you think is overrated

‘Blurred Lines’ by Robin Thicke. No link, it doesn’t deserve any more attention. It got the downfall it deserved a while back, but I still dislike that it got popular at all. It has an awful msg embedded in a catchy tune. 

5. a good song that reminds you of a specific memory

‘Breathe’ by ZABO. This is one I first heard from my lil sis in her old apartment while she was packing to move, but the more specific memory that it gives me now is our recent road trip together. It came on over the speakers, and without any discussion beforehand or during, she and I are breathing together in time to the song, and then simultaneously bobbing our heads to the beat. So I’m driving, she’s in the passenger seat, and the mountain view is around us through the windows as this song plays.

6. the last song you listened to

if we want to be very technical, it’s ‘Breathe’ as above, bc I’m listening to & linking the songs as I get through this list. If we’re talking about pre-list, then I sought out ‘2 Phút Hơn (KAIZ Remix)’ by Phao earlier today. Another song that came from spending time around my lil sis, and it’s a bop~

7. a song that makes you laugh

‘YAS’ by Todrick Hall. The ending where he switches up the style of the song twice made me laugh out loud the first time I heard it, and still puts a smile on my face when the song comes on again. It just feels good to be petty sometimes and this song embodies that. 

8. a song you want your mutuals to listen to

besides all of the above? hard choice... but I’ll have to go with ‘Shark Attack’ by Grouplove. It is near nonsensical nonsense but it is such fun. It’s a song that gives me such carefree positive energy that, although the girl who introduced it to me hurt me in a bad way, the song evokes stronger emotions in me than she did, and ‘Shark Attack’ remains one of my favorites.

(Warning for over the top totallyyyy justified passive aggressive bullying towards one (1) ☝🏽 specific tumblr user. We’re chill I can do this and (probably) not get blocked ✨)

BRRRRREAKING NEWS! 🥺 Sometimes effort DOES pay off!! 🤩 It is with great pleasure that I announce that I have been t- ive been t— omg I cant even say it I’m so excited!! I’ve been tagged!! By @howaboutswords 🙈🙉🙊—!!! BABXBSB!! I feel like making one of those text weaving posts or whatever now about the joy you feel when at long last love is finally reciprocated!! 🤩 Everything is golden! I’m posting this from over the moon in every sense but physical 🌙 Anyway I already did this 10 song shuffle thing very recently but I’m doing it again (bc I was tagged by @/howaboutswords!! 😳🤭) But this time I’m going to rip a page out of her diary and say a little random smth smth abt each song tooo~🎶

1. Pearl Diver by Mitski. My 1st Mitski song and I had to listen to it a few times to really like it. I was reading Beauty by Robin McKinley at the same time I looped it a bunch and now the two are forever and always connected in my mind ✌🏽🐚 9/10

2. Help by Surveyor. Nice voice, fast paced and has the word “ocean” in it 😊🌊 9.5/10

3. All We Do by Oh Wonder. My 1st ever Oh Wonder song. It’s lost its splendor, I’ve listened to it so much but! Still very good. I just never need to hear it again you know? 💫 8/10

4. Another Thriller by Minimatic. One of the few instrumentals out there that manage to keep me mentally engaged the whole time! Funky and the most newly discovered song on this whole list. Makes me wish I was in space and I don’t even like space. 🔵🔺🔶♦️9.5/10

5. Lovit by Marian Hill. Marian Hill was a guilty pleasure artist for me back in the day before I almost totally stopped caring (abt feeling guilty for pleasure)🎵 8/10

6. Indigo Night by Tamino. Not normally into hypnotic soulful crying songs but wowza🎆 9/10

7. It All Depends On You 👊🏽 by Ruth Etting. Spotify recommended Etting to me once upon a dream ago when I was listening to the mfmm soundtrack on repeat a bunch. Catchy but not addictive imo :P I prefer Button Up Your Overcoat and Harvest Moon 🌑🌕 7/10

8. You Were Only Passing Time With Me from the Miss Fisher soundtrack! 🕰💔8/10

9. Holy Ghost by BØRNS. I just think it sounds neat :D 👻 8/10

10. Real Sugar by Minden. I had a brief and intense affair with this song a few years ago and then totally forgot it existed. I listened to it a bunch when I first discovered Gunka no Baltzar so despite being completely incompatible in tone with this war based manga I associate it deeply with said war based manga and its endearing grizzled MC🍬🔫⚔️ 8/10

Tagging: literally anyone can and should do it if they wish, say I tagged you in spirit! Join me over the moon! Spread the wealth! 🎼

Fine Line: rambles & rankings

hello here i am eleven hours after being knocked on my ass by one miss harry e styles with some thoughts if anyone is curious!!

1. Golden- the sad bop to end all sad bops!! the dichotomy of this music being the most fun and bouncy (the da das on tour!!) while his voice is the lower, steadier element of the song is so interesting to me? also the pessimism of this song is *chefs kiss* even if the idea of his vulnerability being an undesirable trait to his partner is heartbreaking

2. Watermelon Sugar- she slaps and we been knew!! this wins for best dance number for sure and i can’t wait for us all to be grovin and yelling “high!” back at him

3. Adore You- i think after a week ive concluded that this was my least favorite of the 3 released songs, only just slightly? but i absolutely love singing along to this, and ofc the eroda aesthetic is forever connected to it and absolutely incredible

4. Lights Up- baby light of my life :’) i love lights up and i will always love lights up, shes always gonna be special to me knowing what it means to harry and the way he decided to release it on coming out day with that video, and i hope he continues making art like this for a long time to come

5. Cherry- i? wasn’t?? prepared??? to be perfectly real, i wasnt anticipating this being a fav from what we heard in reviews, BUT THIS? musically this is so exactly the sound i want from him (hozier meets bon iver but make it harry?? BLESSED) and im absolutely in love with it. and his voice!! pulled the first tears out of me on the listen through :’) the way he harps on “don’t you call him baby” in the softest most fragile way over top this melody is art, put it in the moma

6. Falling- MA’AM THESE VOCALS. i love that this is pretty bare bones musically to really highlight the vocals and the emotions, both of which go absolutely off. its maybe not the most ~interesting~ to listen to compared to others, but the power of this LIVE? holy shit thats 100% where this is going to flourish

7. To Be So Lonely- starting with “I was just a little boy” PLEASE BE QUITE im not okay. anyways there is something about the way these lyrics sit in the pocket of the music that im obsessed with. i wasnt sure how i felt about either one their own, but god the way the “arrogant son of a bitch” line is weaved in with these instruments (the strings on this!!), i feel that shit in my CHEST

8. She- hello to what i feel are the most hs1-esque vibes on this album, except definitely different and COOLER!! its weird bc this is a sound that i already easily associate with harry, but lyrically/conceptually this is fascinating territory. There are layers to be unpacked here and ive already seen some galaxy brain interpretations so im excited to let this one marinate (the falsetto and “plays pretend” lyrics… okay ma’am) also the “sleeps in his bed” vocal FUCK! and of course mitchell went off and i cant wait for harr to be all over him on tour

9. Sunflower Vol. 6- MY FUNKY LIL BABY this is so sugary in a way thats not at all cheesy but makes me smile so! much! the gasp, the sounds at the end… could not be more babie and i just know im gonna fall in love with the bits and bobs of this more and more every time i listen. shout out to the Queen vibes i got from the “tonight tonight tonight” parts! and also did i mention the end is the cutest thing what the fuck

10. Canyon Moon- these absolute VIBES shes THAT GIRL!! this is so sweet and tender im soft. the “Im going”s are so fucking PRETTY? the beautiful dulcimer sweetie you are doing so great. idek what else to say this is the soundtrack to the gay indie roadtrip movie i want harry to star in and i love it with my whole heart thats it

11. TPWK- hating on this is literally illegal?? babie made this for and about us and the space we mutually created on tour THIS IS OURS. hes feeling good in his skin and dancing with us!! even if he doesn’t have all the answers!! the Queen vibes in this too we love, and we are going to have SO MUCH FUN singing n dancing with him to this :’) the “loooong enough” vocal and then his “all together now” stuff at the end is so happy, healing and sweet i love him so much

12. Fine Line- *sigh* what am i supposed to say? what can i do? musically and vocally this is everything ive ever fucking wanted (again i didnt quite realize that harry styles pulling a bon iver was exactly my niche but guess what it absolutely is). HER FALSETTO HER VOICE THIS DELICATE TENDERNESS?? Cannot think of a single thing ive heard thats more stunningly gorgeous than the way he sings “we’ll be a fine line/we’ll be alright” so guess thats it for me lmao. similar to cherry, on paper these lyrics are not a hit for me (at least without analysis), but god it doesnt fucking MATTER bc they come across so abstract and transcendent in context (and open my mind to so many other interpretive possibilities) that i cannot not be in love. And then of course the horns come in and we get the hopeful turn…this song makes me feel things on a level nothing he’s made before ever has. 

Overall this album threw me for the loop of a lifetime; its so different from what i was expecting and even hoping for, but without a doubt the most special thing i’ve listened to in as long as i can remember. these songs deliver on a level hs1 barely scratched the surface of, and i cannot wait to see how harry continues to grow and reach even higher places across his career. endlessly proud of him, always.

Extremely tentative ranking 100% subject to change bc this is impossible:

fine line >> sunflower vol. 6 = cherry = canyon moon > lights up > tpwk > to be so lonely > watermelon sugar = golden > falling > she > adore you

#this order isnt it ajssf im sorry #falling she and adore you do not deserve to be that low when #a) fallings vocals are like that b) adore you is so so fun and c) she has conceptual layers and a depth for interpretation that is so !!! #its hard bc the first four just hit so right with me on levels i cant explain #but i think some of my lower ranked songs are stronger lyrically or conceptually #and tbsl would be lower if i wasnt OBSESSED with the music #tpwk would be lower if i wasnt obsessed with the concept #cherry being that high is insane to me but here we are #ANYWAYS LMAO this is what i got come chat with me about it! #fine line #fine line review #mine

Ep. 2: “I’m Trying To Lay Low” - Jake

JENNET

plan worked fabulously purrrrrrrrr

(a little later)

maybe its me being paranoid but why are jake,jones, and lindsay always the last three to leave calls............ when i have a f2 with all of em....

JESSICA

Song of the day is ELVIS by AOA. My favourite workout bop. Silver got voted out! So sad, I wanted to play with him. But also, kinda cool! This is the only game I have played where I truly didn't know anyone (except my very first ORG). What an experience. I know last confessional I said Sam and Shane were both kinda on the fence for me in terms of if I wanted to maybe work with them or not. An update: I think I want to work with both! Both of them, unprompted, told me they wanted to work with me if we lost immunity, and I have actually been getting along well with both of them I feel now that our conversations are moving past the sort of awkward beginning stages. I still like Sammy even though I probably should talk to him more oops... and Daisy/Lovelis/Ethan are also still in my good books. I kind of keep forgetting Pete and Cloud are on this tribe but when I remember, I am happy they are here. That being said, I think Cloud or Madison will be the first to go if we lose. Cloud is very inactive. Madison is too but she was at least on the call tonight. It might come down to how immunity goes. I want to participate because it will bond us as a team. That way even if we lose, I was a part of the team effort and won't stand out as someone who people don't know or want to work with. Also while I personally want Cloud or Madison out as I know them the least, I am not going to push it. I'll let somebody else throw out a name and as long as that name isn't Jessica then I will consider it. I sort of chilled today with the social game and only messaged people as they messaged me. The vibe of this team is very relaxed from what I can tell and I didn't want to overdo it with conversations and come across as too much. Tomorrow, my goal is to talk to every single person for at least 1 (one) whole real conversation. I might have to start using my good ol' tactic of sending people random youtube links and saying "what do you think of this" to get something going.... Honestly nothing starts a conversation like David Hasselhoff and his cinematic masterpieces that we call music videos. I hope the other tribe is full of problems so that when we eventually swap, I have a very easy time in this game.

LINDSAY

no recording tonight because i have a headache:( anyways i'm apparently not in as good of a position in the tribe as I was hoping. got left out of a six person group chat bc I was associated w Silver and people were nervous abt this vote w me. Jake luckily looped me in but I'm kind of bummed out people didn't trust me enough to let me in on this. I know it's probably just cuz Silver and I had been getting along alright the past two days but that means I'm in kind of a yucky position in the tribe that is starting to gear me up to a S6 type deal from survivor umich and I'm not fuckin' vibin. I'm gonna try to reach out (Nash appears to be ignoring me currently tho so lol) and try to fix that. I still want to work tight w Jones and Jake but I don't want them to be my only options. I need some more connections than that. ALSO WHEN SILVER DID THE THING MY HEART STOPPED LOL SO THAT MIGHT BE WHY IM BEING IGNORED also "you kept laughing at silver's jokes" was a comment someone leveled at me today and i couldn't find a good way to level and say i laugh at everything because that's how my brain is trained to react to everything. monkey brain cannot comprehend emotions so i laugh everything off. anyways i guess this is my clue i've got to step up. i mean, it's fine if i'm under the radar some because it's not merge yet so like it's fine, but i'm... worried. if nothing else we're even tho bc the galaghers got revealed as well as the six person alliance so we're all even here. bottom line is, i'm winning this fucking scavenger hunt this shit aint happening next week

JAKE

y'all I'm still shaking from tonight tbh....

PENNINO

JONES

https://youtu.be/7FngYQfYMB0

PETE

Nobody will want to vote me out if I have kittens and share pictures of them muahahahahahahahahahaha

JESSICA

Oh no, we lost! I hope that Shane and Daisy want to be a final 3 because that is what I am envisioning in my hopes, dreams, and mood board.

SHANE

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mNEOfPVwOp-ltGoNTdEq59su-9Vl_Adm/view?usp=drivesdk

ETHAN

AHH TRIBAL IS SCARY MORE TO COME SOON BUT EVERYONE IS SO QUIET AND I DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I AM THE TARGET BUT IF I AM I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY IT IS JUST WEIRDLY QUIET AND MY PARANOIA IS EATING ME ALIVEEE

DAISY

https://youtu.be/tBDHsLvF8W8

NICOLE

WE ARE IMMUNE!!! I’m so excited to have flipped the vote on Silver AND got us immunity but, I’m gonna have to be more careful if I’m gonna go far in this game. I know I can be strategic, I can be a comp threat but I really have to work on making myself a little dimmer in the social department. If we swap or merge obviously down the line, I feel like I’m gonna have a LOT of different potential paths to the end but, it won’t matter if they all realize that. So I really really have to be careful here. I am playing this game with a level head so far and really trying to make my rounds daily to talk to people. I am close with Jake, close with Jones and close with Nash. I am working on forming better bonds with Jabari, Lindsay and Jennet right now and honestly to me, Pennino is a non factor as well as Mikey but I am obviously going to try to maintain being on their good side. So that’s all I got for this round it’s been pretty tame except for Jennet immediately leaking our alliance by accident. At this point I really don’t think it matters.

MADISON

Okay so our tribe is not superhuman and we finally lost a challenge so we will be attending tribal tonight. Nobody is really saying much in terms of what will happen which is extremely worrisome, however, I did hear Sam on call very subtly throw Cloud out there and I'm kinda hoping that Jessica and Shane heard that too and will kind of run with it. Daisy wants both of us to be safe and I feel the same way so I'm hoping that's what will happen. In other news!!! I have officially begun the idol hunt one round too late but perhaps that works out better because if something is found, I'll know it. So because of the way things were worded during the hunt, the idol has either been found already or whoever wrote this system wanted to through a red herring in there to trick us. I'm going with the latter because I feel like Jarod would do that. That's all from this neck of the woods for now, hopefully will be writing another one of these bad bois next round :*

SAM

JENNET

I WILL die for jones btw...

(a little later)

Survived the immunity challenge... at what cost

(after falling asleep on the beach)

The way we accidentally won that comp is literally a joke.... period i guess?

PETE

so we lost cus we’re the beauty tribe not the brains tribe fuck math dude anyways, it’s been hella fuckin quiet like not a lot of people are on and aren’t really talking. Up until about, 4 hours before tribal Sam comes to me and says the vote is gonna be Cloud and i’m like what who why. All he said is “that’s what he’s heard” honestly i think it’s just his own idea but whatever. I don’t know Cloud at all so it’s fine with me. Sam, myself, Jessica, and Shane apparently are all agreed to vote Cloud and with Ethan’s vote that’ll be 5.

CLOUD

i have nithing to say other than i might just be the stupidest person on the planet. absolutley nothing is happening in my head ever. if i stay its pure luck HSKSHSNSKBSKS

NASH

smiles at immunity... this is cute it feels good to not be in danger for once! i’m honestly still worried my tribe might want to cut me at next tribal but at least tonight can be chill! i hope kiki is first brookeisa boot xoxo

SAMMY

honestly there is no tea, daisy found an idol and gambles her vote but she lost her vote early so no worries w that! I love her so much and i hope she doesn’t snake me...but daisy if ur reading this, in this moment i love dont snake me mwah!! I love Jess and I love Cloud but everyone’s telling me Cloud is the vote but I’m so sad because I had such a good time with them and they are one of the few funny ones in the game!! Anyways not much is happening we lost the challenge cause we are just bad at math...blinks...I don’t think I’m in any danger and this vote should be unanimous. I was also told someone said I was one of the few active people so that’s a check in my book!

JAKE

https://youtu.be/HmtSAjyQoJI

I'm trying to lay low so if I'm not very present on Discord the next day or so that's why hehe

PETE

so ethan is down for voting Cloud, sammy too. Cool great awesome hot. i’m just sitting here vibing and suddenly Sammy tells me that my (and Madison’s) name came up for a second. He said it went away and it’s Cloud for the vote but like jskdhd why do i aaalways get targeted bitch i’m literally just sitting here whYY can’t i relax for once?! Frfr every survivor game it’s always this person or me. I’m always the other option and i just don’t get why lmao

LOVELIS

This tribes been kinda dead until like an hour ago plss, a new alliance of 5 has been organised and somehow me and Shane managed to make it seem like it was Jessica’s idea? Don’t really know how that happened in all honesty but a vibe. Then Daisy also leaked that she’s in another alliance who’s actively idol hunting so that was a lovely bit of beef that I love to see - my guess is she’s in a duo chat with Jess and they’ve tried to get this group formed with people who they think are unconnected, unbeknownst to them that me and Shane have a final two deal and I kinda have one with Sammy as well that happened on day one but it’s not really developed as of yet, he’s not really tried to talk game with me as of yet, but all in due time I suppose there’s plenty of time for more shenanigans 😂

MIKEY

HONESTLY Chile. Not much tea going around since this round we won. Im very proud of Nicole as she literally carried us and I pray she'll do it again dhbhsfg. Ive started getting really close with Jones and she's so fun to talk to, im hoping me her and nash can form a little trio and work together but who knows. Jennet STILL hasn't replied back after like a week so idk what's up w them LMAO

JABARI

So our tribe loved it when we blindsided silver, it puts me in a much better position than before. Now I have to talk more to people and take time to realize what's gonna happen. As of right now I have 2 alliances. The big majority one and the one where its just me and Jake and Jennet.

JENNET

exactly....

Episode Commentary - Losing Motivation and Q&A

I could make a joke here but it would be a niche reference to a song no one knows so we Move On 

infinitesimal 

also did he skip a syllable in that word or 

NO YOU CAN’T PLAY WITH US fghjkl I. Love. Logan. 

Thomas has done this thing two or three times where he actively defends Patton’s excitement to one of his other sides by saying “mm, yeah, ok, you’re gonna let him do it” like, look if you don’t let him do this we’re gonna cycle for 20 minutes, he’s gonna cry, you’re gonna cry, let’s just skip it. Let him play. 

This episode has Virgil really come in to his own with the “did you actually look in a mirror when you put that on” retort

the first three times I’ve watched this I’ve missed the “my dear... daddy” line believe me when I say I nearly spit soda 

“I’m not always the bad guy...” UM? BABE?

“there must be something else” *VIRGIL FEAR* “other than me???” No babe don’t worry he’s not gonna bring up Deceit just yet you’re good

“Logic and I are playing dress up, Anxiety’s making us question our existence” So like. Tuesday then? 

Someone explain to me the “How could you do it? I trusted you” and Patton responds “way?” because all I can think is way sounds like Why in a different language or... somethin 

Actually logan yeah you are in a loop where you generate a problem and then solve it this whole series is Thomas generating problems and himself then solving them. Tha’ts life. You’ve graduated Philosopher Class. 

WE GET THE FIRST NAME 

I love the way Logan treats Thomas... Unbearable. A babe. 

“people still love you, don’t worry” “oh, I don’t worry about that”  Press F to pay Suspects 

WHY DID LOGAN AND ROMAN BOTH JUMP ON PATTON TO SAY “DON’T SCREW IT UP” GOD YOU GUYS?? HARSH??

... mental note to read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. 

I love how at this point everyone’s just like yeah Anxiety is a character now he’s just here but when Deceit shows up they’re like oh ho ho .... villain 

The delivery of “I love word association games” makes me think Logan knows exactly what he’s doing and revels in it 

For anyone who just watches Sanders Sides it must’ve been so confusing bc there’s a point where they stop saying like “the person who I will love” and “the right one for me” and just jump headfirst into “I’M NEVER SHOOTING STRAIGHT. I’M ALWAYS GAY” 

Logan says he’s comfortably numb and I say mmmmyikes 

Virgil smiles in the camera and I mmmdie 

Am I... Logan? Am I Logan? Wait, stop the music. Am I Logan you guys? 

“I would make a bunch of videos about conspiracies and cryptids” and I would love you until i DIE

mmmmmm nah I’m calling BS Anxiety is an air.

... Shoot wait I’m projecting cause I’m an air 

OKAY BUT THE WHAT IS AND IS NOT A CHAIR MONOLOGUE... IS A MOOD

“Logan, you understand reality better than the other two” cue me rocking and sobbing 

Thomas with the galaxy brain subverting my ability to lipread 

My favorite bit is when Patton goes like “don’t patronize me, Thomas. ... I’M JUST KIDDING” and I would HATE that if it was anyone but Patton 

OH OH OH the “haha... that’s not what Ships look like” dfghjkl; Best
