#i still remember the bangers tho. i definitely remember the bangers

[superbellsubways]

Wat do u love most about each splatoon story mode……..

Hmmmm well lemme think

Splat 1: It Has been almost a decade since I've played this one so I can't recall every little thing, but I do have some fun memories related to the bosses! My fav boss is definitely Octonozzle.. pretty easy fight but i love it's design very much ^__^

Also it took around a week for me to beat octavio 😭 cuz i was like idk 12? with major skill issue lmao It was a fun hero mode tho. love all the music in it

Splat 2: Oh i remember playing this one for the first time vividly :) I was in love with the glittery ink AUGHH ITS SO PRETTY this one had alot of bangers when it came to the levels as well.. trying out different weapons for most of them was a fun surprise!! i remember falling in love with the brella when getting introduced to it there. OH YEA THE BOSSES octostomp coming back made me giggle fhsjdj and octoshower is my fav octoweapon 🫶 it's neat

and ofc the final boss, while not as difficult as splat 1's, was amazing aesthetic wise The whole bomb rush blush remix and everything is So good 😁😁 callie and marie reuniting made me smile

OE: not a hero mode but I'm going to include it anyways. Even tho i was Extremely late to the party I love it dearly and i still think about it So much.. the music. the environments. the final boss. the LORE. everything is Peak. i love Octo Expansion!!!!! ❤️ oh and Tartar is there too i guess. 🙄

Splat 3: i noticed the devs had taken alot of inspo from oe when it came to this one but honestly i loved it bc of that. this was definitely the wildest one when it came to the plot LOL Not complaining tho. I loved deep cut's involvement in it they are so silly ❤️ Big Man's fight made me smile so so wide (i Heart mario references) that's definitely one of my favorite aspects of it. Good music. Good level designs. Mr Grizz showing up made my jaw drop to the floor. ORCA is there!!!!! Alterna!!!!! 😁😁😁it was so fun lalala

#sorry if this is so much fhsjjd honestly i wish i could write more but blehhh #sorry if some of this sounds so repetitive my thoughts are never coherent and i am just bad at talking #My favorite story mode is definitely between OE or Alterna's #they were both very good in their own special ways #u already know how insane i am about the two guys involved in those #Anyways i am running around waiting for Side Order I WANNA MEET DEDF1SH!!!!!! the bestie

Jojo openings ranked

To be clear I love ALL the Jojo openings just some more than others

Traitor's Requiem- My favorite for sure. WATERMELON BUCHURATI WITH TRISH'S HAND. TRISH FALLING INTO A DIFFERENT COLOR SCHEME. I love how the beginning goes from slow to fast. This op makes me proud to be a Jojo fan. Not to mention the alternate ending with Diavalo speaking Italian. ALSO THE PART WHERE GIORNO TAKES THE ENDING BACK FROM DIAVALO. IT MAKES ME FANGIRL SO HARD I WILL LISTEN TO IT THREE TIMES FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT ENDINGS AND GIORNO'S DIO POSE

2. Great Days- Best part 4 op hands. Rohan is serving cunt, the song is catchy, YOSIKAGE KIRA REVERSING IT ALL. It's perfect and I love it, very close to my heart

3. STONE OCEAN- I adore the pop art aesthetic and the vocals. FIRST SOLO FEMALE JOJO OP SINGER GOES HARD!! It's so pretty and Jolyne is beautiful. Loving the return to CGI

4. Fighting Gold- Bussin. This op is so hype. I don't care that some of the visuals are a bit goofy. Coda popped off with this one (as usual)

5. Heaven's Falling Down- It's such a perfect song for part 6. Having Sana, the singer of Mob Psycho's ops, was such a flex. Jolyne is an absolute goddess (can you tell that I simp for her) and I love how she looked. Unfortunately, the visuals were not as striking as the first op. However, the Pucci ending easily made up for it as the best Jojo villain intervention

6. Sono Chi No Sadame- It's literally just iconic. The 3D animation goes hard and I will forever remember it as the op that got me into Jojo. ALSO THE JOLYNE CAMEO AT THE END

7. Bloody Stream- I love the colorful and smooth animation. LISA LISA MILF. Not my favorite song by Coda (see #4) but definitely still a banger

8. End Of The World- TOMMY, Coda and JIN collaborating for this song was the best decision ever made. Also, Dio's The World intervention slaps so hard! HIS SWAGGER. The Kakyoin scene gave me chills

9. Stand Proud- I love the callbacks to the earlier Jojos and fighting animation plus the vibrant coloring. All the crusaders walking as the atmosphere changes is one of my favorite scenes in Jojo. Still think the other part 3 op is better tho

10. Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town- Kinda mid ngl. I still like it but the vibes were not very jojoesque to me

11. Chase- My least favorite but it's still a dope op. It just sounds kinda generic compared to the other Jojo openings. The visuals are still impeccable and I love the pastel coloring

#jojo no kimyou na bouken #jojo's bizarre adventure #phantom blood #battle tendency #stardust crusaders #diamond is unbreakable #golden wind #stone ocean #anime #screenshot #vento aureo #trish una #giorno giovanna #bruno bucciarati #rohan kishibe #noriaki kakyoin #lisa lisa #yukako yamagishi #jolyne kujo

[shakethatsassyass]

hi!! are u still active? i see the askbox is opeen sooo.

could i request some relationship of older!GOM like who's the marrying type, what do they like, who sleeps around most, who finds dating bother some etc etc!!! Maybe their ideal types in a s/o as well??? Thank u so muuuuch im so excited if everaaa

Hi! This request is really interesting and here are my dating headcanons for the GOM. You can request another one for their ideal types if you’d like since this ended up quite long 😅

GOM Dating/Marriage Headcanons

a/n: unedited

KUROKO

Come on, obviously this guy is the most emotionally intelligent out of all of them. 

But does he approach the people he likes? No 

But it’s painfully obvious when he does fancy someone

His ears become red. Warning: fair chance of passing out

He does his best to be more assertive though, meticulously planning how to approach his crush

Very very thoughtful, remembers what you told him 128 days, 13 hours, 6 minutes ago about that video you were showing him

When he’s with someone, you better bet the relationship will last for years

Not that he’s boring like that or anything but Kuroko hates the mind games that come with modern dating

But Kuroko’s immensely loyal to some may argue, a fault, I think

Like s/o wants to swerve careers? Kuroko supports

Wants to start a small business? He’s supportive 

Needs to rob a bank/hide a body? He has all the tools already......

I just imagine domestic fluff kuroko being the troll that he is. he purposefully hides in the corner to surprise you with a heart attack when you come back home 

KISE

Kise has quite a fanbase, as we all know

Headcanoning is that a word that Kise gets scouted by a Japanese company and becomes an idol for a short while

Kise’s a jack-of-all-trades so I can definitely see him working in different fields and having multiple sources of income

Which means he’s probably met a lot of people along the way

So yes this boy dates casually a lot, mostly just for publicity, and the other party knows it usually. People just come up to him and ask him out.

He has to have MAD respect for the person to even consider seriously or sometimes casually dating them or making the first move, though. Like the person of his interest has to be VERY good at what they do and have banger character

Kise is, contrary to popular opinion, not shallow at all. Personality and a person’s passion/morals comes first. He knows the feeling of being ogled for your looks and how those feelings of infatuation are fleeting

BUT I’D BE LYING IF I DONT SAY THAT KISE 100% LOVES THE CHASE. He’s a fast learner so I bet he also gets bored pretty quickly

If you wanna date Kise, you better not be the jealous type and not be controlling. Someone who can keep him on his toes. 

Fun, goofy, sometimes intimidating lover

AOMINE

Somehow I see him settling down earlier than the others. 

But before that he sleeps around a lot. 

He likes hot women, that’s canon, but like he doesn’t date seriously during his early 20s, just casually. 

Many fics present Aomine as this suave guy who can pick up any person he likes but I honestly doubt that’s the case 

Definitely gets with Momoi at least once, whether they cross the line between bffs and lovers officially is up to Aomine sadly (see Replace novel)

Thankfully, he’s as graceful on the court as he’s not on the dating scene 

So many people approach him on their own, often as fans who, if they ask appropriately enough, gets to go home with him

Boy just wants to have fun

But he never love bombs, and is in no way a manipulative lover

Respects your boundaries and asks for consent 1000%

When he falls in love tho, he falls hard

He might start off with seemingly cold feet and is indifferent but that’s just him actually thinking how to properly take the relationship to the next level considering all his hang-ups

Aomine’s insanely loyal and a committed relationship with him is something that even becomes sweeter over time. 

Once he’s committed, he’s all in: he thinks of marriage, kids, the works

Aomine may look tough but he’s all soft for his s/o

MIDORIMA

He’s a late bloomer in the dating department

Midorima just thinks it’s bothersome. He’s busy with basketball and medical school already. He just doesn’t see what the fuss is about 

But can you imagine if he just falls in love with an incompatible sun sign???

Like an Aquarius or a Libra (Murasakibara’s one)… or god forbid an Aries!!

And he just freaks out and questions his beliefs and does research on the rest of his/their birth chart. Lmao

Takao secretly made Midorima a dating app account and his profile gets plenty of traffic

Midorima knows nothing about this and refuses downright every time Takao tries to set him up with someone

Doesn’t do casual. Period.

You have to be very patient with him he’s the densest out of all of them you might as well just spell it out for him for Midorima to get the hint that you’re flirting

Midorima’s romantic relationships can only ever happen organically so you can’t 1. Force it. 2. Expect him to seek out relations for its own sake

Will either have to be set up by a friend on a date OR

Have some Kdrama destiny shit to occur for romance to get through his head (Doctor Midorima with patient reader AU???

Needless to say Midorima’s a faithful partner in all senses of the word. He’s consistent, hard-working, and responsible. He’s the kind of person who’d literally grow old with his lover and wake up next to them each morning. 

MURASAKIBARA

Another one who doesn’t like initiate dates

No formal conversations of labels or anything like that

He may be a man child at times but no one is more loyal than this giant

You wanna date him? You better know how to cook. Or at the very least love food

He will not ask you out, well not directly anyway

Doesn’t take breakups well

He will sulk for days, someone from the GOM or Himuro or his siblings has to drag him out of the room so he could take a shower

One day you’ll just notice him hanging out with you

Anyway I hc that he gets the most jealous out of everyone in GOM. Like he gets too little attention and you’ll find him pouting like a kid

Mura also really easily distracted, and might even come across quite cold

It’s only because he rarely sweats the small stuff

So sometimes you’d be upset and he wouldn’t notice

WARNING: this could go on for days so unless you tell it to him straight up he won’t know you’re even upset

Buuuuut gets the hang of it after several months

He’s attentive when he needs to be, especially when it comes to his partner’s needs

So fights would rarely occur, unless it’s about his habits

His ideal s/o is a mom. Sorta

There I said it

TL;DR Murasakibara baby in the streets daddy in the sheets

But tbh any established relationship with him would be quite stable, his life would simply revolve around his s/o, food, and basketball

AKASHI

Akashi’s future is all planned out.

Being the only child in his political and influential family, marriage and family’s simply part of his duty. I read somewhere that his parents were most likely in an arranged marriage and that it’s not far off that he would be too, as Masaomi expects, when the time comes.

He sees the appeal in dating around but eventually decides against it because it’s seen as taboo (his family seems to be traditional), though he thinks about it from time to time when he feels lonely :-(

Lots of women (and men) fawn themselves over Akashi, he’s used to it, while he appreciates the support, emotional connection and bond is an important factor for the redhair

So he’s either seeing someone properly or not talking to anybody at all. Akashi’s forward like that.

He’s very discreet about his dating life. Like one day he just announces to the Miracles that he’s engaged to the love of his life and like??? No one knows he was even seeing someone?? Maybe just midorima and kuroko. Maybe Momoi (and by association Aomine)

Akashi haaaas relationships… they’re just very selective and won’t last long if he can’t see marrying them

Eventually marries for love. I just can’t see him tagging along an arranged marriage (like his father expects) with someone if he doesn’t like them

Yes boy do clear that karmic ancestral baggage

If you want to date Akashi, you should probably not be afraid to take the lead too sometimes. He already juggles plenty of responsibilities outside the home, he appreciates if he can just let go of the reins when he’s with his s/o

Bonus bonus if you can hold an intellectual conversation with him. He also takes a keen interest in your hobbies

Akashi’s a generous, kind, faithful, and attentive lover. You’re provided for for life.

from under the cork tree for the album questions!!

oh goodness i don't think i've listened to this one all the way through yet... 👀

the first song from this album I heard: Sugar, we're going down!! it used to be on the radio all the time back when that was my only source of music listening. (side factoid, I used to think this song was on Infinity on High bc that was the only album cover I knew as fall out boy back when I first knew this song lsalghjdkd,, sometimes i still get it mixed up)

do I own the album?: no :'/

my favorite song: aawhwhaejhrehjf I'm sooo tempted to say a little less sixteen candles just bc of the mv but that's totally a bias. based on song alone it's definitely dance, dance. tbf that mv is also a banger tho

my least favorite song: aahh... probably I've got a dark alley... i guesss... im so sorry

a song I didn’t like at first, but now do: our lawyer ... . I specifically remember going through fall out boy's spotify profile on my computer when i was like 15 and being like oh haha ok that's actually a hilarious name for a song, i'll give it/the album a listen. I did not like it lol and actually never came back to futct until this july in preparation for my concert 💀💀

a song I used to like, but now don’t: I like them all now, I never liked a song from this album and had it go stale :3

my favorite lyric: why don't you show me a little bit of spine you've been saving for his mattress? I only want! you to think! in the form of you. crawling into bed with meee.... gets me every time holy shit

overall rating out of 10: god I always forget how good this album is until I listen to it by itself. 10/10 to be perfectly honest. no notes

send me an album!

#second fav lyric is 'your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one!' #tbh I thought I didn't like this album very much until I listened to it thru while answering this akhdakhds #eve's asks #album ask game #anon answered #fall out boy #from under the cork tree

[clingyduoapologist]

Ok now that I’ve let wake up and it’s over grow on me time for the new official clingyduoapolagist lovejoy rankings WOOT WOOT (not the including the covers because I’ve never listens to any of them dorry)

1. As always, Sex Sells. To me this is peak lovejoy. Good memories of the first ep, very funny story behind its creation, perfect blending of music and vocals, nothing more you could ask for.

2. It’s all futile. BRO THIS SHIT BANGS SO HARD. While I prefer sex sells, I can easily see how someone could perform this one (and at the risk of sounding parasocial, the fact that Wilbur was able to turn a song from a really dark time in his life into this massive almost tongue-n-cheek album ender is really special to me :’) )

3. You’ll understand when you’re older. Man this is just such a bop, the narrative and the instrumentation are top notch.

4. Call me what you like. BARELY misses the top 3 (and being honest 3 and 4 are pretty much interchangeable for me). Man does this go hard. And the spoken word bridge into the final chorus?? Chef’s Kiss.

5. Cause for concern. This song is weird because I always forget about it but then whenever I remember to listen to it it floors me. Deserved spot all around.

6. Portrait of a blank slate. Another case of 2 completely interchangeable songs with 5 and 6, b it man the instrumentation on this song is AMAZING.

7. Concrete. Honestly this may just be bias but man this song is just such a solid bop. While I don’t hold it quite as highly as the top 5/6, I’m never upset when this song comes on.

8. Oh yeah you gonna cry. Again 7 and 8 vary based on mood but ugh I just love this songs energy. It’s like if you turned a shit eating grin into a song and I love it.

9. Warsaw. I need to listen to this more to really settle my mind on it but it’s definitely a bop.

10. Consequences. Banger but again don’t have a lot of thoughts on it.

11. Model busses. Such a sleeper pick fr. Again I forget about sometimes but it really is a bop.

12. Taunt. No strong feelings, just a nice generally okay song.

13. One Day. I like the music video and this song can shoot up depending on my mood, not really feeling it today tho.

14. Perfume. This is the hipster in me talking but like, it’s fine? Tumblr kinda overhyped it before I listened to it so that’s probably why my opinion of it suffered, but I just never got the hype for this one. Not bad at all tho, 6.8/10

15. The Fall. Yeah again this is another hipster take and I fully acknowledge that, but still not my favorite.

16. Golden Hour. Fine? Idk I might have to listen to this more.

17. Scum. Now listen, I can 100% see the appeal, but you need to understand that I am a basic bitch and this one just does not do it for me, very sorry scum fans (tho it gets points for being a cTommycore song)

Anyways YUP there it is the official rankings!!! If you disagree you’re wrong anyways bye ❤️

#I fully acknowledge I have a basic taste in music so #yeah roast me if you want just know I am more correct than anyone on earth at any time #lovejoy

[seknots-izumimir]

ohhh doctor who.... host was watchin it earlier (parents had a marathon on)......... um i don't know what the episode is called but s one of the modern ones.... the ww2 has mask kid. "are you my mummy". i really like that one ehe... "it feels like there's something in your throat trying to break out".... s cool. ehehe

but um... host s doin ok! he's stressed n all but m tryin t' make him relax..... he's just younger than me so i get why he's pushin so hard but he needs t' calm down i think..... ehehehe but i love him!!! he's been dealin with a lot n m proud of him :)

know ya don't like horror much vani but ah... do ya got any media with horror...... particularly movies. wanna watch more movies but m no good at findin stuff on my own..... i love ya a lot i hope school goes well!!!! -🪴

ooo nice !!! i do like that episode!!!!! it's one of the earlier 9 ones i think??? 9's one of my faves he's a silly guy <3 rose tyler the loml <3 i think you'd like it if you watched it further !! it gets Silly at times but also gets Serious and has some very fun storylines down the line !!

uu glad he's doing okay :< sending him good vibes. cheering u on. perhaps introduce him to puzzles <- guy who fucken loves puzzles i am also proud of him <3

uu uh. if you want. kinda low-budget older japanese horror (just assume all of these are undubbed into english lmao) : - the booth (2005) is more... silly? than scary? but still has horror elements. - dark water (2002) is pretty good. i don't remember much abt it tho. - ju-on: the grudge (2002) is also good ! i've never seen the american remake or whatever but this one is fun :) - one missed call (2003) has a kinda neat premise iirc? i can't actually remember if me nd my parents watched this one or one with a similar premise but the wikipedia page rings bells so ! - pulse (2001) BANGER STORY. focuses on ghosts taking over the world via the internet kinda thing? very sci-fi but also like. has gen moments of Scary its great :) pls watch pulse - ringu (1998) the og ring movie from japan ! actually kinda good ngl?

uh not necessarily horror but Train to Busan and its sequel Peninsula are good. from korea, set in a zombie apocalypse :) has scary moments but is definitely more of like. a tense movie than a scary one.

as for. american horror. i do not watch a lot but. a very stupid (affectionate) one is Bodies Bodies Bodies which is SUCH a silly movie. Unfriended was also good ngl. people didn't like it but i liked it.

also the death note movies exist. again not necessarily horror but tbh the slightly older ones from japan are good

#i. mostly just watch a lot of psych horror? esp from the east #i find that stuff just. very fun ! #but yeah if i think of any others i'll uh.......... telepathically send them to you. or mention them next time you talk to me sdkjghsd #system anon 🪴

[gerogerigaogaigar]

Radiohead - Kid A

How to piss off your fanbase in one easy step: follow up you most successful album with something bizarre and experimental and use almost nothing but synthesizers and basically be incomprehensible. Bonus points if the album is a masterpiece that will go on to be regarded as one of the best albums ever written. The anxious frailty common to Radiohead's previous albums is still there but there's more intensity, more of an ominous apocalyptic energy. The lyrics are mainly nonsense, cut up phrases with no clear meaning. The vagueness coupled with the intense abstract instrumentals lead to a fearful atmosphere. The album feels like it is failing to imitate a human. It's eerie.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick has doubled down on being a poet and with these songwriting skills he is tackling some difficult ideas. The first half.of the album deals a lot with Kendrick's own place in society and in the rap game and whether or not he can return to his roots in any sincere way. Whether his success prevents him from representing his neighborhood in Compton anymore. As the album continues he expands the subject matter and it becomes a struggle between sincerity and machismo and how much of black culture is constructed as a response to oppression and ultimately lands on being proud of the many composite things that make up blackness in America. It's an incredible journey and I struggle to even summarize the themes. Musically it is also so much more than good kid m.A.A.d city was in every regard. There's more funk including an appearance by George Clinton and frequent production by Thundercat. There's also so much jazz and soul and features such a wide variety of guest musicians including SZA, Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus, and many others. This is also a well paced album, it is long but it is full of bangers and right up to the last track it is catchy and engaging. To Pimp A Butterfly is a powerful enigmatic statement. One of those albums that becomes an instant classic and will be guaranteed to be remembered as one of the best albums of all time for decades to come.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

Yeah no shit they put this one up so high Rolling Stone magazine is literally named after the song Like A Rolling Stone. But also a totally valid choice for best Dylan album. Every single song is Dylan at his peak. I can barely pick out high points for how good everytthing is. Obviously Like A Rolling Stone is legendary, the eleven minute closer Desolation Row is a standout, but I think that Ballad Of A Thin Man might be my favorite Dylan song. After so many Dylan albums on this list I barely have anything new to say. I guess if you have liked any of it at all then you will definitely like Highway 61 Revisited.

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

https://youtu.be/wvgehVhF9D4

https://youtu.be/e7e5BFJa-Ug

Yup I knew this was coming. Kanye West's magnum opus. Twisted Fantasy is a maximalist progressive hip hop labyrinth. Kanye pulls in influences from prog rock, most obviously in his sampling of King Crimson on power, but also in playing around with song structure. Frankly it is hard to pin any one thing down because every song is so much. You have everything from the piano intro of Runaway which becomes a hip hop soul epic, the intensity of Monster's back to back guest verses, the completely unexpected Bon Iver feature, the occasional guitar solo. Oh man speaking of Monster tho I feel like we really need to appreciate that we get both Jay-Z's worst verse (Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness, Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience) and "ahhhhhhhh put the pussy in a scarmophogoghs" from this song. Also Nicki Minaj's best verse ever to close out the song, seriously she is stunning on here. Anyway yeah Kanye seems to be making a statement about the hip hop kayfabe on here. He seems to be semi-ironically embracing the callous superstar aesthetic. How much this album is a criticism of the excess of celebrity culture or just the start of Ye's villain arc is up for debate, but even if I don't wanna be charitable it's still a huge bombastic, addictive masterpiece.

The Clash - London Calling

For being remembered as one of the most iconic punk albums London Calling is a much more complex blend of punk, rock n roll, new wave, ska, dub, and post punk. Their sound reflected the diverse musical culture of 70s London. Frankly it's hard to pin down exactly where the punk is on this album. Guns Of Brixton is just a reggae song, Wrong Em Boyo is a ska song and it interpolates American folk song Stagger Lee. Lost In The Supermarket is a distinctly post punk song with it's disco beat, Spanish Bombs is as power pop as they come, and Train In Vain is basically a piece of heartland rock. Where the album is most cohesive is lyrically and thematically. Most of the tracks on London Calling describe some aspect of inner city London living or a character therein. The plight of the working poor and immigrants. While punk definitely continued into the 80s as a rough and volatile genre full of teens with raw emotions, The Clash brought the more art rock side of the genre into the mainstream with London Calling.

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy were a perfect storm. The interplay between the militant black nationalist politics of Chuck D and the much more laid back point man Flava Flav created a dynamic flow that wasn't matched by any contemporaries. On the other side is production crew The Bomb Squad and turntablist Terminator X creating densely sample based instrumentals that match the intensity of the rapping. On It Takes A Nation Of Millions the intensity is ramped up from their debut and they double down on the political angle. To compare the politics of this album vs Fear Of A Black Planet, there is a grander scope on It Takes A Nation Of Millions. It revels in mythologizing of the band a bit more. Either way this album also brings most of Public Enemy's biggest hits Bring The Noise, Don't Believe The Hype, and Prophets Of Rage especially.

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.

Exile On Main St. is raw rough and rowdy right up the Rolling Stone's alley. This album has some of their best production successfully balancing the need to sound rough around the edges with the level of professionalism that a band as big as the Stones could afford. It starts and ends on some of their best songs, Rocks Off and Rip This Joint open the album while Shine A Light and Soul Survivor close it out, but in between, idk. There isn't a bad song on here, far from it, but as a whole album Exile On Main St. has never spoken to me the way that their previous three albums did. Am I saying Exile is overrated? Yes obviously I am literally saying that. But would I side eye someone who rated this their favorite Stones album? Not at all. It's a fine choice just not mine.

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You

This album begins with Aretha Franklin's meteoric hit Respect and it isn't even my favorite song on the album. This may be Franklin's tenth album, but it might as well be her debut. From the moment I Never Loved A Man dropped her career was reinvented and she was instantly the queen of soul. There are very, very few albums better than this one. Franklin sings with such power and conviction that she basically stole these songs from their original performers. Respect will never be an Otis Redding song ever again and same for Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come.

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Ok do I really have to review Thriller? It's the highest selling album of all time, I bet you know a thing or two about it. Michael Jackson was the king of pop for a reason. The blueprint for success that was Off The Wall is finally realized here in a pop, disco, soul, and funk masterpiece. Seven out of the album's nine tracks were charting singles. The songs Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean all come one after another making up what must be the most commercially successful three song runs on any album. You prolly already know how you feel about this album so I guess this is just a reminder to give it another listen if it's been a while. If you didn't like it before maybe come at it with fresh ears, if it is already a favorite then remind yourself how good this shit is.

The Beatles - Revolver

This was kinda the first cd I ever owned so you are not getting my usual super duper objective reviewing here lmao. Revolver really is one of my favorites. The Beatles have genuinely crafted some very catchy delightful tunes. All of the exploring they did on Rubber Soul paid off in a big way with the fuzzy guitars of She Said, She Said and Taxman, the baroque strings of Eleanor Rigby, of course the psychedelic experimentation of Tomorrow Never Knows. The thing that makes this not just one of the best Beatles records but one worthy of being on this list is the production. George Martin mixes every song in this hazy way that feels warm, but also distant. Like a pleasant memory. Martin also has fun on Tomorrow Never Knows by cutting up the tape and reconstructing it into the backwards guitar solos that can be heard throughout. Basically I think this is one of The Beatles best records, but it is definitely George Martin's best record, he really earns the 'fifth Beatle' moniker here.

[skloomdumpster]

Time to talk about the outfits, Flora and Beatrix being the best one to dress. It suits teenagers and definitely had little Y2K vibe to it. I wish Flora had more skirts but yeah it’s just me. Bloom and Aisha being next, they improved from the whole red and blue color coded clothes to more realistic ones. Bloom’s blue dress was stunning easily the best, loved Aisha’s outfit party too. Still there are those oversized outfits that Bloom had and it was weird for her. The last three are the worst, Musa was mess, look like a toddler trying to dress herself. (1/2)

Terra, seriously what that thing they put her in for the party, I got that she supposed to be a lesbian but you couldn’t find something better? Eliot Salt if I remember correctly is a lesbian herself and her suits are great unlike her character . They really did her dirty. Then finally we have Stella, look everyone I understand the whole rebellious princess they wanted to go with her character and I don’t mind it her writing was great this season that being said I still think they just rushed so fast with it! I didn’t see enough of Stella in S1 and her fashion wasn’t great either, so her moving away immediately without taking time to see more of her princess/fashionista vibe came out as if they were lazy to put her in fancy clothes. Maybe because Stella was my favorite fairy growing up that’s why I am upset about her the most XD (2/2)

Alright fashion time!

I think I agree with pretty much everything you’ve sad nonny. Flora, Beatrix, Bloom were great, I don’t agree on the oversized not suiting Bloom (I think it makes a LOT of sense with her character and her journey this season). 

Aisha... You put her as one of the “Ok” and agreed. Hell, even more of a eeeeh than okay. The yellow bar outfit and the party satin suit were bangers and I loved them - though I wish she was in heels at the party. Considering Bloom and Stell were wearing super refined shoes and Aisha wanted to impress the alumni, I wish they had given her the heels. That said.... Can we just stop putting this woman in track suits. Please? I don’t give a flying fuck if her cartoon counterpart was sporty, stop putting her in freaking gym clothes!!

Now... Stella. Personally speaking, I have to say I loved everything she wore. Sometimes they felt out of place, but definitely fit MY style. However, like you said, for the fashionista princess rebel... No. I can excuse the first episode, but as it’s shown by both her getting closer to Beatrix and her letter to her mom, Stella tries a different approach straight after ep2. She’s playing Luna’s game. If she’s playing Luna’s game, I wish her looks were more fashionista yes and also that they reflected how trapped she felt. Everything she wore looked so damn comfy, I don’t want her comfy, she’s suffering! I want Stella in military inspired outfits! I want her wearing constricting clothing! Beauty is pain! 

Terra. Honestly, just preach anon. Nothing to add there. I liked some of Terra’s outfits in season 1 and it bothers me how she completely stopped dressing like that in s2, as if her coming to senses with her sexuality somehow was reflected in her style, which I just... Don’t agree? She’s such an absolute romantic and shy and just bashful. Lean into the femme!! 

Then there’s Musa. Nothing to say there, it sucked, I hope whoever keeps dressing her gets fired. Period.

-

We didn’t talk about the guys’ fashion but I do have a couple cents to throw. 

Riven’s outfits AND Dane’s this season all felt like they had thought put into it and they reflected something of the characters which I really appreciated. Sebastian was rocking his Just-Some-Guy fits.

Sky looks amazing in huge jackets and the slutty little knife holder in his back keeps me up at night. I didn’t love the brown suit tho, but I did like the 90s boxy style they went for. I don’t love Sky in black but it made sense with his emo phase so I’ll suffer in silence (please give me this man in cuddly sweaters, I’m begging on my knees).

Silva... Silva was suffering from Andreas S1′s disease. Was he only allowed 1 outfit? criminal. Bring back the dad sweaters!

Andreas - I don’t know Ken is too hot, everything he wears looks perfect. 1000/10. 

Grey needs to be shirtless more often. And get RID of that bloody fucking windbreaker. 

Sam looked awful, but in a good way because his character was going Through it. Very appreciated.

[overtaken-stream]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Thanks....

Well well, I'm not a big fan of TV shows/Movies so don't have much to say about that. I love a lot of characters from all kinds of anime tho!

I had to think really hard to organize the characters in order, this was painful.

!!Spoilers!!

#10 Hanagaki Takemichi (Tokyo Revengers)

Tokyo Revengers for me was the first fandom I've seriously joined and spent a lot of time in it. So the anime means much to me, I've met a lot of good friends there. I'm not AS obsessed as I was back then, but it still kind of left a bitter taste in my mouth when it ended.

Takemichi was also the first character I became a fan of. I still love him to death and would 110% die for him. He's just... So sweet and precious. Sure he was cringy when I think about it (Anime gave me so much secondhand embarrassment my god.) but that means nothing compared to his self-sacrificial attitude when it comes to his friends.

I think his kindness and brightness in Tokyo Revenger is what just... Made me fall in love with his character, the relatability being second. My boy did not deserve the unnecessary suffering he went through only for Mikey.

#9 Keigo Takami AKA Hawks! (BNHA)

Even though I'm not very active in the BNHA fandom, I still enjoy the new seasons and characters, and a lot of my memories of it are fuzzy since I started it in 2019 and I most definitely need to rewatch it again, but Hawks... He always stood out to me, maybe it's the wings since for as long as I can remember I always dreamed of flying. I was still new to anime at that time and BNHA was one of the first anime I've ever watched! And it wasn't like I've heard of spoilers either.

The reason I liked him is that on the surface he seems this popular "Jock" type of guy. Keep in mind, I don't read the manga, but so far from what I can gather from spoilers he is a very sad boy inside, the 6th season proved me right. I love how emotionally open he seems when in reality he is closed off and insecure in some moments. You can never know just what hides behind that relaxed smile of his, which is his training shining through.

In the moments such as fighting with Dabi was the most vulnerable I think he has ever been. It's something special about that scene, emotional for both Dabi and Hawks, But yeah, that's pretty much it.

#8 Shikamaru Nara (Naruto)

Naruto was such a banger, the fanbase?? Not so much. Shikamaru was the only character for me.

I love serious men and Shikamaru is as serious and normal as a character in Naruto can get.

I LOVE AND I MEAN LOVE THE NARA AESTHETIC I WISH THERE WAS MORE FOR ME TO CONSUME

He is such a good character in Shippuden, his development is just *chef's kiss* I can not explain how many tears I've shed over Asuma's death. or over Shikamaru. His personality and relationships, his judgment and how clear-minded he is in stressful situations like in chunin exams.

I loved how he was always calculated, and knew his limits. But it was such a blast to see him rage quietly, his revenge was the greatest as it could have been, with a lazy guy like him who, even though lost his cool to still somehow managed to "be cool" during that moment and not go batshit insane? Yet somehow committing murder???? (does it count as murder when your opponent is still alive and immortal???)

His moment with his father after Asuma's death changed my view completely though... Made me respect him on a whole new level.

Also his hairline is funny looking.

#7 Arataka Reigan (Mob Psycho 100)

Reigan is a character that no one can truly hate. If they do, they hate him lovingly. He is just so pathetic yet sad, realistic and talented.

I am in love.

He is such a funny character and his morals I stand. His worldview is also realistic which I haven't seen so far, and the gentleness with the way he treats Mob and teaches him that it's okay to be afraid is BRUTALLY different from the way Aizawa treats his students in the beginning.

He never lets Mob see the side of him that he realizes is not healthy, he seems like he is never weak.

Oh to be adorned by a child is such a heavy burden, he is afraid of failing Mob's "expectations." when in reality he set those expectations himself, and Mob is just a kid looking for advice from someone he thinks can relate to.

#6 Kurapika Kurta (Hunter x Hunter)

Proper overworked bloodthirsty avenger. HxH is still one of my favorite anime and it's because of Kurapika and his soundtracks.

Akaku akaku🛐🛐🛐🛐

But seriously, I do love his character and how it starts from smiling and calm and disintegrates into this terrifying beast at the end.

It just seems more reasonable and he hits the right buttons for me.

#5 Armin Arlert (Attack on Titan)

Just sad. I love him for pure sadness.

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, man I miss them so much. Jean and Armin have always been my favorites but I loved Armin from the start. Attack on Titan was also the very first proper anime that I watched!

A kid dealing with insecurities watching a show about a kid with anger issues and liking the unstable intelligent friend.

I love him so much that it hurts when I rewatch the show because I know what will happen to them and that happiness is temporary, I grew up with him and discovered how life isn't always goes the way you want.

Can you see the repeating patterns yet?😅

#4 Buggy (One Piece)

Remember what I said in Reigan's part? This is a great example of me loving this pathetic red-nosed clown.

Fake it til you make it taken seriously by its enemies🤩

I'll count the unresolved trauma he (and Shanks) have in this too. At first, like almost everyone, I didn't think much about him, especially in orange town.

His taste in outfits is atrocious and should be a hate crime.

My liking REALLY blew up in the impel-down arc. He was so emotional and funny I remember laughing and sobbing at the same time.

I sometimes forget that Buggy was raised by pirates and the bluff everybody is believing💀 only we can see the reality, everyone else just sees a terrorist who has blown up towns and imagine discovering that he was on Roger's AKA The Pirate King's crew.

And now he teamed up with the Number 1 Swordsman?? Who would have thought he would come this far?

It makes me laugh how his fandom is EXACTLY the same as Buggy's crew in the anime.

They think he is overpowered, actually... He IS overpowered. Change my mind.

He can become The Pirate King and I would have no problem with it.

He is such a random character to like I can't believe myself.

#3 Aoi Ashito (Ao Ashi)

The anime for this show premiered recently, at that time maybe I was a fan of this manga for about 5 months.

It's about football but unlike Blue Lock, Ao Ashi focuses more on the characters and their personal life too.

Ashito the main character in the show took me by surprise, their selfish desire to become rich for his family mixed with his love for football and coach Fukuda's assholeness leads to him becoming a defender which isn't something I've seen in sports anime.

His interaction with his family is definitely my favorite so far (+ Brotherfoot).

I like how observant he is, and how he evolves his talent throughout the series, it's really interesting to see him admire and "follor the flow" of more experienced people, his hard work is something I admire.

#2 Katakuri Charlotte (One Piece)

His character design. The pink.

But to be fr I love Katakuri for his image, how he was supposed to be the "perfect" brother, he was and will be such a fantastic character, from the introduction to his battle with Luffy just drips of epicness.

To see the cold man, who supposedly never lies down, take the time out of his day to just build walls around himself to be relaxed, not caring about his mask of perfection and eat doughnuts was goofy, I have to be honest.

You would think Luffy out of all people would respect somebody's snack time🙄

Let's not forget whose son he is. Big Mom.

It's such a sad thing to see her collect monsters and all kinds of creatures, only for her to tell her own kids to cover the part which makes them "monstrous." spawning insecurities within every single one of her children.

He is a caged bird and I could go on about this forever, we need to see more of him.

ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN HIS SIZE?!

#1 Sanji (One Piece)

Continuation of me loving the pathetic men in the series.

The number one spot goes to this sad creature. He is special on every level, starting from his self-sacrifices continuing to his relationship with Zoro, and ending it with two incredibly sad traumatic backstories.

I am such a fan of Mr. Prince but I also love the post-timeskip Sanji, in the Whole Cake Island arc he proved how much of a fan I was.

I cried over him, his mother, his childhood and how he was sorry... For being so weak.

He tries so hard to prove himself to be useful to the straw hats, I can't imagine how horrible he must have felt during the whole situation.

I can go on forever talking about him and everything that has built his character over time, but I won't.

He is just so sad. I want to hug him.

But he is perfect. In his own way.

The only downfall is his gag jokes that last way too long than they need to. But I just pretend I never saw that.

[softichill]

OH.... Oh dear. Yeah. I did an essay in school about cults.. I remember distinctly that the book I used the most had trouble classifying the distinction between cults and religion. It came to the conclusion that a cult is not for the benefits of its members. A hive mind that is for its own propagation and solely for its continuation. One of the benefits of being raised by non practicing people is perspective. If you need to ask about that or distinctions between topics of that nature I'll always be happy to help. I think a lot about the man I met that converted to Judaism because each faith he went to told hm how to believe but the rabbi he met told him he had to find faith for himself. It saddens me that that is not the standard. Religion is a good idea. Horrible in most executions. Sorry for the downer. I hope you get out soon. IN LESS DEPRESSING NEWS I shared a bit of what I wrote and was told it was awesome! If you play the stanley parable I can give you a peek otherwise it's probably not going to make sense. I do love me a psychological horror. Never got fluff, myself. Always felt like I could skip anything that wasn't hurt comfort. It almost always understands the characters better than fluff. I never liked sweet things, even irl. Yes I am the weirdo that doesn't like cake. Give me a whole lemon. I will dead-ass eat a bulb of raw garlic. Just you can have all the cake I don't eat. Strawberries are an exception but I hear they are actually sour if you can't smell. It always saddens me to see chocolate guy eat his works not because they are intricate but because it looks like it'd taste awful. But I guess art is made for consumption. Vib Ribbon has a track called Laugh And Peace that's amazing. All tracks (except the second to last one) on the 23 minute game are bangers.

I'm kinda still reeling abt it, thank you tho! I'll be sure to ask if I need to

I love psychological horror too actually!! I can't rlly consume stuff abt it at night sadly, since that gives me Nighttime Paranoia, but I definitely like it :Dc Fluff I've found is good too. Sometimes the smaller, sweeter moments can help really round out a character!!!

!!! VIB RIBBON I love Vib Ribbon. I've listened to every track I believe, this one is a favorite!

I recommend Reckless Battery Burns by Ghost n pals!!! As always Ghost just makes good stuff cjdbfjdnjg

[ghost-of-you]

Hi, exclusive tracks anon again ^^

I totally forgot about the lftv versions. I guess because we've had them on Spotify from the start (easier and teeth at least) my brain doesn't think of them as bonus songs, but you're absolutely right. Also, calm + kill my time is the inofficial calm deluxe version in my head, so I don't necessarily see that one as a bonus track.

But these are just technicalities and if you put it like that the bonus tracks seem way more likely now oh god 🥴😩 and as you said: they are notorious for hiding absolute bangers in the bonus songs ahsjskak

I totally get that, when I think about calm, kill my time is part of the tracklist and the vault tracks are just extra content in my head sksosksokapks but in the end the calm +1 is a bonus album, and no shame from the vault is still not available for streaming so technically they count as bonus tracks. So we can expect at least one once album drops.

Honestly tho, they have so many good songs hidden away in single eps and bsides and rarities, is ridiculous. Every time I remember disconnected is not in self titled I get confused, the don't stop ep, wayf and iydk deserved so much better, actually pretty much every bonus track we got during self titled deserved better, what do you mean close as strangers is a bside? A rarity? Over and out, story of another us, when you walk away, kill my time, the list just goes on ksoskspskka. Wait my love 2011 is also technically a bonus track cuz is not attached to an album. What's that about? Honestly, I'd love to go thru the stuff they wrote and discarded, there's definitely something we would love and they didn't, cuz based on that tier list alone we know they have no taste when it comes to their song, they looked at 18 and all the bonus tracks and said 18 will go to the album, like, make it make sense kspskspksoska. And that's not thinking about the unreleased stuff. It's crazy.

#Justice for over and over ksoskspksoak #But yeah #A Bonus track that's probably gold wil most likely happen kspakapka #i was asked

[unnamedrat]

My reactions and thoughts on @stargirl1331 playlist!

This took so long, I'm so sorry, but I really wanted to review every single song there. My favorites are in bold but like, all of them are so so great.

where did the sun go? by Lor: Such a cool song, wish it was longer <3

Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage by Fish in a Birdcage: Ohhhh I love the cover, so pretty. The lyrics are so good: “With his beak he tries to soothe me/He makes me feel that I belong”, such a cool cool metaphor. The instrumental is so jahfkajskajd.

Welcome Home by Radical Face: It sounds so pretty, the lyrics are so warm(? I can only describe them as warm, I'm not really good at describing feelings, lmao.

Breezeblocks by alt-J: I used to listen to this song a lot in 2020!! It's so nostalgic. It might be that my english kinda sucked back then so I didn't fully understand them but I don't remember the lyrics being this good!?? Hello?? Also, the last minute of the song? ABSOLUTE BANGER- PLEASE DON'T GOOOO I'LL EAT YOU WHOLE I LOVE YOU SOOOOO.

Choice by Jack Stauber's Micropop: JACK!!!! I love this man, he's so artsy. His music videos are so akkskakdkq.

The Hand That Feeds by The Crane Wives: I love the title of this one, it's the same as one of Nine Inch Nails songs (they're nothing alike, just the title). Cool guitar. Pretty voice. Ok, this one is so so cool. The lyrics. THE VOICE. THE LYRICS!!!! “He taught me that the hand that feeds/Deserves to be bitten when it beats” AAAAAAAAAAAA Directly to my liked songs.

It's Alright by Mother Mother: Hey, my sister likes this song!! I love the lyrics :)

Vagabond by MisterWives: A pretty cover!!!! She has such a cool voice. I like it, it has a very cheerful tone but the lyrics are so deep and I love them.

Choke by IDK HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME: Another song I know!! I really like it. The lyrics, the beat, the vibes, everything.

It's Okay (To Punch Nazis) by Cheap Perfume: Say it louder for the people in the back!

Always Forever by Cults: This one's so nice to the ear. It reminds me in a way of Mars Argo music: not so healthy lyrics and cute sounding melodies and voices.

notre dame by Paris Paloma: The art on the cover is so pretty and nice, I love it. It sounds so soft, kinda comforting, and the lyrics are amazing and beautiful and amazing. It gives Claudine Frollo vibes.

Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths: A 7-minute song!!! I love long songs!! The lyrics are so beautiful and sad, yet so important. The french lyrics with the violin in the background parts sound so good, no idea what the man's saying tho.

Tip Toes by half•alive: THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!?!? I LOVE IT

Burning Pile by Mother Mother: One of my sister's favorites, they're a really cool band and have great instrumentals and build ups!!

Never Love an Anchor by The CraneWives: COYOTE STORIES!!! A SHIP LOVING AN ANCHOR!!!! HER CLUMSY HANDS!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Alien Blues by Vundabar: Another of my 2020 favorites! I truly don't know why I stopped listening to it because it's great “My teeth are yellow, hello world/Would you like me a little better if they were white like yours?” AAAAAAAAAA such a good song

Which Witch by Florence + The Machine: I love the way this woman sings!! Such a powerful voice and a great beat too! I think my sister likes her? I've definitely seen her in one or two of her playlists. I'm sending her this playlist because I feel like she would like it.

Inheritance by The Last Bison: Cool instrumental!! Don't have much to say about it, my strength is lyrics, but it sounds amazing!

still feel. by half•alive: This song feels familiar?? Don't think I've ever listened to it, tho?? Love the beat, great vibe and just really danceable.

the fruits by Paris Paloma: RELIGIOUS IMAGERY!!!! THE ORIGINAL SIN!!!! THE WASHING FEET REFERENCE!!! THEY EAT HER BODY LIKE THEY EAT JESUS'S!!! AAAAAA THIS ONE IS SO AWESOME!!!

Little Dark Age by MGMT: I already knew this one, I love it. It is so akjdlakfkskd.

Burn Your Village by Kiki Rockwell: IT IS SO GOOD!!?!? Same vibes as some of The Buttress songs. I'm. In. Love.

Abbey by Mitski: Best song of the century.

Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men: QKSJJQEJQJDKQKKE THE LYRICS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Dante's Inferno by Whirlybird: Is this my favorite because it uses my name? Maybe... Is it still a good song? Absolutely. Also “the boy who's married to the fire” kakdjajdjakd.

Home by Dotan: I love the drums. THE BUILD UP!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA It sounds so good. The chorus is so jandladjkaakska.

Sunlight by Hozier: “I had been lost to you, sunlight/And flew like a moth to you, sunlight/Oh, your love is sunlight” “A soul that's born in cold and rain/Knows sunlight” AAAAAAAAAAAAA LOVE IS SUNLIGHT!!! LOVE IS SUNLIGHT!! I swear I'm normal about this, not weird at all, a normal human being normal :)

Fourth of July by Valleyheart: A cover of one of my favorite Sufjan Stevens songs!!! It sounds amazing, definitely not as sad as the original (I don't think anything can be as sad as that song) but it's still really REALLY painful. Love the drums.

Apricots by Findlay: Her voice and the instrumental are so lakdkajskaksma. It has a spooky vibe in it, kinda like something that a character in The Nightmare Before Christmas would sing.

Gasoline by Halsey: *2017 flashbacks* Such a cool fucking song. God, I haven't heard this in so long.

Indian Moon by State Radio and Chadwick Stokes: He has such a pretty voice, it's so calm and the lyrics so sweet.

Millie, Warm the Kittle - Dorm Demo by Rabbitology: I love the artist name, so silly :) Oh, the song is so- wow, the instrumental is great, dude. The layers here are sooooo.

Something About You by Eyedress and Dent May: she looks just like a dreamm, the prettiest girl I've ever seeeeen, from the cover of a magazineeeee. A cute song.

Violet by Wild Party: It sounds like a series intro (that's a good thing). The lyrics are so nice, flowers :)

Fall by half•alive: I feel like I'm sounding repetitive at this point but I love the lyrics!!! The instrumental is great!!!!! I just love all to songs in this playlist <3333

Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears: 80s song!!! I love this one. Y'know when you're nostalgic about stuff you never experienced? That's me with the 80s and 90s, this song externalizes that feeling for me.

Foxcry - Dorm Demo by Rabbitology: I'm loving the way this woman produces her song, they are so aksknadnjandna. THE LYRICS!!!!!!! My GOD.

Devil Town by Cavetown: My sister LOVES this song, it's so awesome. The lyrics <3

Saint Bernard by Lincoln: This gives midwest emo but there's no instrumentals and it isn't loud so it feels so odd. Ok, this one hits close to home. Well, at least I didn't went to a catholic school. Saint Bernard as both the dog and the saint it's quite funny.

Ticking by TIN: This remained me of the animation memes, lmao. WAIT- THERE'S WHERE I REMEMBER THE STILL FEEL SONG FROM- ANIMATION MEMES.

Dear Arkansas Daugther by Lady Lamb: The lyrics are my favorite ever <3

Hungry by Dotan: Got distracted, didn't pay attention to the lyrics but it was so calm and nice :)

Cryptid (Mothman) by Ratwyfe: Hehe, rat name :) I kinda relate, I don't hate my body I just don't wanna be human. Idk why, maybe is my alter-human fascination maybe it's my reality disconnection, who knows.

Tongues and Teeth by The Crane Wives: I love the lyrics! They remind me of Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart by Mitski but I think it's because everything is a Mitski reference to me.

Washing Machine Heart by Mitski: Speaking of Mitski. I love this one, it has such cool metaphors and the music video is so AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Love her :)

CANDLEBURN - Dorm Demo by Rabbitology: I already know I'm about to listen to the craziest song ever. I'm serious, this woman's production is INSANE. Yep, I was right. “They'll put an apple in your hand, but don't you dare bite it/A match and wick but don't you dare light it” OQJIQJDKWNFKN

Second Child, Restless Child by The Oh Hellos: THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Don't you just love it when religious bands make songs about religion? So crazy.

Cocaine Jesus by Rainbow Kitten Surprise: I love their voices and how they match so well with each other. This song weirdly reminds me of The Front Bottoms. The religion-love-faith thing happening here is soooooo, he stopped believing in God=he stopped believing in their love and stopped having faith in things getting better between each other.

29

Ty for the ask!! I read the question back and had FLASHBACKS /pos I remember like a handful..

29: A song that you remember from your childhood

First of all. Heart attack by Demi Lovato. Specifically the kidz bop one from like 2013. Also STYLE BY T SWIFT. 7 year old me ate that shit UP. (And again, specifically the kidz bop from 2016 or smth)

Everybody Talks, Party in the USA, probably something by Shawn Mendes (like I'm 90% sure I listened to Stitches & Señorita unironically when I was 9-11) 💀💀, and another one by Taylor swift, I think it was Blank Space. Like I would sing it in the car with my grandma and/or mom. When I was so young I didn't know what half of it meant.

Other than that, singing along to Six the Musical in the car with my grandma when I was 11 or 12. That was traumatizing for both of us 💀

(I don't want any of this to come off as if I think these songs are bad now or anyone is 'wrong' for liking them, I dont think that lol. they're just what I was into before and now find kinda cringey - bc I was so young n shit - and my music taste has now definitely shifted.. A bit. Everybody Talks and anything by T Swift are still bangers tho.)

#Cyris says some shit #I really wanted to answer this question specifically lol so ty #awesome!!

helloooo! a little late, but better late than never! how you been? 💙

just passing by to continue our small talk around here ! welp my bias right now is kyuhyun, i love him so much, but also i have a soft spot for hae & teuk 😭 i think elf tumblr is kinda small, i do get happy if i see elfs here lol i joined in 2ya2yao, my first comeback ever! i don’t know if you answered before too, but what about your bias or when did you join the fandom?

thank you so much ! hope you like the recs or my fics 💙 i also found some old blogs, like old blogs from like 10 years ago HAHAHAHA i’ll add them too on the fics recs. that’s how obssessed i am, i need serious help, someone assist me.

i’ve been relaxing and taking a break recently, thank you dear! hope you’re great as well!  💙

Hello Elf-Bot! Never mind about being late here - everything happens in its right time.

I've been well~ I took the weekend off to work through some stress and burnout. I'm much better now and already back to writing! How about you, lovely? Was your weekend relaxing?

Oh! You'll fit right in with the overlapping biases. To quote Cherry anon:

We now have a mini elf fam 🥺🥺 we got a leeteuk/ryeowook biased, a donghae/zhoumi biased and now a kyu/eunhyuk biased (me 🕺💃 also biased leeteuk and zhoumi)

And now we have another Kyuhyun biased, with a dash of TeukTeuk and Hae! Sharing is caring it seems.

Oh!! 2ya2yao! What a fun comeback to join the fandom with! [Immediately gets the song stuck in my head - damn SuJu, why most every song be such a banger 😭]

How did you like Mango? I just feel like it's certified iconic in my heart. Idk, maybe that's just me... but it has, like, the vibe of Mamacita and Sexy, Free and Single in that it will always be that bxtch, y'know??

Short answer: My first SuJu MV that I watched around release was either Black Suit or Lo Siento!

Long answer: The issue for me when it comes to remembering first MVs and comebacks and what got me into a group is that I just let YouTube recommend me things and then I watched it all out of pure fascination whilst also letting Spotify (back when I used to use it) feed me music at work. So I didn't know what was new or old - I just consumed. I can tell you the exact moment I fell in love with EXO (because I originally dismissed their vocals omg this is my shame) and I can explain the feeling certain older songs give me because Spotify used to suck and just play the same few BigBang, BoA, and SuJu songs for me over and over and now those songs are interwoven into my memories, perfectly sliced out images and sounds that play on loop when I reminisce. But overall... that period of time was a mess of me absorbing any and all kpop I could get my grubby little hands on. Black Suit definitely pushed me along that path to stanning, especially after the negative Reddit / online posts about SuJu that originally deterred me. And still to this day it holds a very special place in my heart ♡ as does Bonamana because of Spotify!

Ahem... sorry, I rambled >.<

Anyway my bias is Leeteuk but Ryeowook is in my ult top 10 biases, if that makes sense 😭

Hehehe, we love to see it tho!! It's awesome when you find a band that's been around for awhile because you have a lot more content to consume! I'm always on top of new debuts and releases these days so even if I got into one of them, there would be nothing to watch or read. Sometimes it's better to go back to older groups and just enjoy a steady, dedicated fandom that has stuck with them through high and low.

Stay shining lovely! Sending you good vibes~

[Omg this is so long, I'm SORRY T_T]

So. I'm late to the party. But Viva Las vengance, am I right? (Disclaimer: I am looking at the music and nothing more in this post. Trying to figure out WHAT happened to Brendon Urie between Pray For the Wicked and Viva Las Vengance)

In all seriousness. This album mostly sucks. Hard. Bafflingly hard. There's no reason the last album could have been contender for best pop album of the 2010's (at least in my opinion) and then Brendon release this.

To it's credit, I'll give it some support. I genuinely love God Killed Rock And Roll, Sugar Soaker, and I vaguely understand what he was going for in Local God. (who is he signing about in that song btw. BC it's clearly a different person from himself, is it Ross?)

Over all tho, the album feels criminally unfinished. A pile of ideas, all different sizes. So many songs are close to being good panic. Not fevor or pretty odd. But vices and virtues good. But something goes wrong most times. Local God, as an example, starts off interesting. Hell, most song on the album have a great first 10 seconds. They bring me in, make me ask what this song is about. Great openings. But only sugar soaker and god killed rock stick the landing after.

On the note of the singing... It ain't what we were used to. He's damaged his vocals. Definitely. But also I think he stopped using auto tune? Like, listening to any time you can tell he doesn't sing like he used to, it also sounds like a slightly less healthy version of the live cover of Bohemian Rhapsody that's available on Spotify that he did during Death of A Bachelor.

Another thing I don't remember people talking about is how Queen he's trying to be through the entire album. The fans calling him the "New Freddy Mercury" got to the guys head. It's most criminally obvious in God Killed Rock which steals a piano section almost straight from Bohemian Rhapsody.

Him trying to evoke queen makes sense, almost. We kept calling him the New Freddy, well, if he was still beloved like he used to be, this is kinda cute. Trying to make an album like the man you've picked up the "beloved bisexual rock star who has the vocals for opera" schtick from. Yet... Nothing. It's dead. Just like his image is to a lot of people.

I have listened to an unhealthy amount of this goddamn album BC it's obsessed me. Pray for the wicked was tied for my favorite Panic album with Fever (understanding that they're basically two different bands at that point.) So how does that pop banger get made by the guy that made... This?

I'm getting some rest now. Hopefully now I can stop listening to the album and my head can clear

#panic! at the disco #emo #album reaction #album review #discussions #i dont want to hear that album besides the two ok songs ever again.
