#i think im a genius

[crazygirl58]

the song smoke by liz phair, the album opener from her electroclash-pop-rap-absurdist-post-post-post-post-ironic-satirical-antisatirical masterpiece where she reflected on her experiences working in a career field dominated by men in order to critique the state of the music industry and the socioeconomic standing of women within it, 2010's funstyle, brought the world of electroclash to its knees.

the dark, heavy beats of the track backing invoke stylistic similarities to ladytron's first two albums (604 to a greater degree than light & magic) or the early work of peaches. in some regards, it even leans outside of electroclash, possibly towards trip hop. the production on this track is not dissimilar to the production of nellee hooper, graham massey, tricky, howie b, and, of course, björk herself on her 1995 album post, i find a shocking amount of similarity between liz phair's smoke and the tracks army of me and enjoy.

the instrumentation on this track harks back to that of the band le tigre, electrocute's 2004 album troublesome bubblegum, and even the guitars on lesbians on ecstacy's 2004 self titled album.

the spoken words elements which seem to be influneced by the work of chicks on speed are present not only on this song, but remain a prominent feature throughout the album. phair's fearless approach towards absurdity and the methods she uses to embrace it (rapping, avant-garde electronic production, extreme vocals, etc.) reminds me of chicks on speed's 2003 album 99 cents. thematically, funstyle and 99 cents are not identical, but certainly would agree with each other as critiques of superficial, greedy, exploitative industries.

her vocals on the track are not unlike those of alison goldfrapp on 2005's strict machine and the "you dummy" sample in the chorus is reminiscent of the "you big dummy!" sample used throughout M.I.A.'s 2005 release, URAQT.

liz phair has never failed to exceed the expectations her listeners place upon her. this is yet another example of how the always controversial, frequently underestimated often overlooked, sometimes overlooked for a good reason, never forgotten artist has forever altered yet another genre of music. first the indie rock world with her demos and 1993's exile in guyville, then her overhated attempt to break into the ever expanding teen pop genre with 2003's self titled, and, as we can conclude from the analysis above, the world of electronica with 2010's funstyle. keep in mind, smoke is just one song from liz phair's TRUE magnum opus. the rest of this album contains even more brave, daring pieces of electroclash inspired music that should not be overlooked.

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories #are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox #anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun #to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people #the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying #it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell? #but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks #and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower #because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism #(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here #in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top #of those themes instead of through it) #ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting #SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT #unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable #thief the dark project #i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP #sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know #garrett thief #basso thief

Why are you so mean-spirited and judgmental towards viv and both her current and upcoming projects? Just because you don’t like them, doesn’t give you an excuse to be mean.

#please_no_long_or_confusing_answer

"The show's pacing is too fast, characters are inconsistent and OOC, previous context of a plot was retconned, the show doesn't pass the bechdel test, most of the LGBTQ+ men are thin and hypersexual, Helluva Boss checks off over 90% of the top fanfic tropes on AO3, Vivziepop is by her own admittance an amateur writer- at least when it comes to comedy, comedy of which causes tonal dissonance, none of her shows follow proper Bible or Religious lore, the world building and world rules are full of plot holes, most characters in the relationships don't have understandable dynamics, Viv's previous team have become burned bridges as the years passed as they were all replaced and allegedly mistreated, the character designs aren't very good not only from a time period POV, colorsceheme POV, but also from a hand-drawn animator POV, Hazbin Hotel is overpacked with characters and has only been confirmed to have 8 ep season 1 and an 8 ep season 2 (16 eps total, not enough to cover this many characters so things are most def gonna be rushed and disproportionate) and Viv is in serious need of a PR team to manage her Twitter because she seems to get involved in drama on a weeekly basis"

How is this mean?

#if i said viv was stupid and her show is stupid then that is crazy mean and unfair #but i dont recall having said that #everything ive said is a completely fair judgement and criticism #that would improve her show #viv was an inspiration to me and i wanted her to succeed #but now im just so unimpressed and have lost faith and joy in the shows #i think these were severely overhyped and are not as fresh or genius as people had thought them to be #granted ....... i complain more about helluva or hazbin than i praise it for what it does right but #these days... they do very little right #helluva boss #hazbin hotel #helluva boss critical #hazbin hotel critical #text post

do you guys ever think about how out of them all farleigh was the next real thing. felix haunted the hallways of saltburn with his electric rays of light of naiveté, not malicious but borne of wealth and shelter, and oliver reached for that light like it was the sun. the cattons were adjacent, fantastical islands of that pool of light, and oliver was a drying plant that never saw the real thing and mistook a lamp for a life. an insidious parasitic vine, it's his nature. he offered felix the attention, the quiet adoration, he offered the other cattons the stares, the touch, the longing. and felix was a fantasy, a ghost since day one, a promise of warmth.

but farleigh was there. he was real. he was burning with anger and rage and boiling just beneath the skin. and it irritated oliver, it made him feel something that he couldn't control, and he couldn't control farleigh because he had nothing to offer him: not attention, because farleigh could see right through that front, not control, because you cannot control a 20-year-old incessant fire, not the surrender of it because power and wealth has been a low-hanging, spoiled fruit for farleigh, he yearns for and despises it, he has no desire for it.

killing off a lamplight is painfully reversable, mundane, easy; switch on and off at will, you will not feel a moral dillemma. it is in oliver's nature. but farleigh was real. and what can you do, accustomed to imitation of heat, when met with the raging warmth of life? do you guys think that alive and angry, farleigh was the next real thing. do you think he must live because oliver must know that there is a life at all. do you think

#saltburn #quickstart #is this a tag. i dont even know. it should be. #god the horrors of pondering and the brainworms of love for this horrible perfect movie. #i couldnt stop thinking about them for weeks and then i watched it again and finally cracked what it is about them that i love #god . emerald fennell release me. loosen the grip of your genius im tired #mine #saltburn journaling

Alright, so after watching the new THOH I thought, Bart & Sideshow Bob are definitely in hell together, right? At least an eternity tormented by Bart Simpson would be Bob's hell, lol.

calling the twisted boys your husband/wife! (heartslabyul ver. [1/7])

established relationship, still dating

gn! reader

riddle rosehearts

“oh, yes, and my husband would like some of your confectionary, if that’s okay?”

when riddle hears this, his head whips up from his doctor (?) work so fast you’d think HE needs the hospital. he turns red in a millisecond and impatiently waits for you to finish your call.

“what in the Great Seven was that for?!”

he doesn’t say it, but he’s very pleased and will start making plans for the future. he WILL pout if you don’t call him that again, so please appease your husband's wishes <3

trey clover

“oh… uh huh, right… is there a set of toothbrushes i can get? my wife is interested in them, you see.”

he stops doing whatever he’s doing and blinks, before laughing and letting you continue your work. he’s pleased, but doesn’t make too much of a fuss about it. probably uses it to tease you instead.

cater diamond

“so, girly, listen- my wife’s a fan of roller skates, so do you any recommendations on where you get the good ones…?”

he’s uncharacteristically flustered- his skin burns red, and he hides behind a pillow as he frantically texts you ‘WHY DID YOU DO THAT WHY DID YOU DO THAT’

bloody fucking loves it he WILL sulk and not respond if you don’t call him that anymore.

“cater.. love? beloved? cay-cay? sweetheart?”

“...”

“my wife-”

“YES???”

ace trappola 

“yes sir, that’s my husband right there- ACE STOP THAT RIGHT NOW YOU ASS-”

he, indeed, stops at whatever he’s doing to just stare at you… and attempt to tease you for your ‘slip up’, like he doesn’t fuckin’ love it or whatever (oh you).

“eh… you must REALLY want to marry me, huh?”

“yeah, actually.”

“o-oh, w-w-what…? aha… ahahaha…”

he’s honored- thrilled, really. for someone to want him so much is just so… ‘SLDKFNVASDLKFNVASDLKFN’

he’ll get so clingy on that day i pray for u

deuce spade

“yes, my wife’s name is deuce spade… oh, and put some chickens beside that, okay?”

deuce gapes like a fish when he hears it. he’s.. you… he’s your WHAT?!? 

he won’t tell you to hurry your call, but his body language tells you enough and when you do, he’s tearing up, asking if you really do want him as your wife, but that he isn’t sure that he’s good enough and-

you silence him with a kiss, and that’s all the reassurance he needs. you cuddle for the rest of your day <3

I was reading a fic (angst, major character death, you know the drill) and it made me realize something I knew but hadn't thought about:

Eventually, they'll have to adapt The Final Problem on Sherlock and Co

What the FUCK am I going to do with myself once John 'Jonk' Watson, one of the best to ever do it, thinks his best friend is dead? How am I supposed to survive listening to my beautiful boy just. Fucking lose it?

#sherlock and co #no but im scared now #im always excited to see how ppl chose to adapt the final problem and the empty house #but i think this is the sherlock holmes adaptation that got me to care about watson the most #the books do it well too- at least some of them- but most adaptations write watson very much as the board where Sherlock explains his genius #but in sherlock and co he's an interesting character by himself. i am NOT ready to hear him cry!!!!!
