Aranai's Thoughts on Niigata Division

Seiji Tsukimoto

Aranai groans at the picture of the police chief. "Oh great, the Chief of the fucking police, himself. As if having that cop from Kanazawa in this tournament wasn't bad enough!" Aranai sighs. "Thankfully, unlike that cop, this one doesn't know me, I don't think. I've done some work in Niigata, but I don't go there since most of my customers in Chubu hail from Nagoya, where that monk and his clique reside. Still, I suppose I'd better watch myself since another cop is snooping around. Ugh..."

Lyall Shiba

"Ha, this guy makes me laugh. Mainly because, for a cop, he's not too bad. And I'm not just saying that because Kaoru in Edogawa has got a thing for him. ...What? Surprised I know about it? Don't be! I mean, it's kinda obvious! Whenever the girls and I are out, she'll sometimes get a call on her cell phone. If it's this guy, Spider Girl's eyes will light up, she'll suddenly get red in the face and then excuse herself for a while.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of her anything! It's actually kinda cute seeing the resident hacker trip over herself for a guy! For a while there, I was worried I was going to have to do what I do to Sumire and find an excuse to get her and this guy a reason to meet each other. Thankfully, she's not as clueless or brainless as Sumire is and isn't afraid to take a leap!"

Ayumu Hayami

Aranai frowns at the photo of the paramedic. "I'm going to say this right now: I really don't like this guy. Why? Because more than once I've seen him here in Ueno. And it's not because somebody's sick or in danger of dying. No, the reason this guy is here in Ueno is because he's got a thing for Shisuta! ...Yeah, you heard me right! The paramedic is who a year away from being four decades old has a crush on a woman who is f'ing 13 years older than him! What the hell kinda shit is that? I'm not a lawyer like Boss Lady is, but I'm pretty sure dating someone who is a decade older than you is breaking some sort of rule. And if it isn't, then it needs to be! I'm telling you now, I'm keeping a close eye on this guy. If he does anything to Shisuta, they're going to have call a paramedic for him when I get through with him!"

Valor Guard

"Ugh, is Boss Lady asking more and more cops to join this rap tournament or something? Or do they just not have enough to do at the f'ing police station? Because there shouldn't be a reason for so many cops to be joining some rap tournament! I know not every team here is full of law-abiding citizens, but I didn't realize that meant that every cop and their brother needed to form a rap team to arrest them!

"Ugh, and knowing Boss Lady, she's gonna wanna form an alliance with these guys like the ones from Kanazawa. Ugh, hopefully, someone deals with them quickly. Either that, or they become too preoccupied with whomever they're chasing to deal with us..."

Sam: Participates in a motorcycle charity event that raises over $50,000 for Men's Health.

Sam Haters: I can't believe that selfish, untalented ass wore his Sassenach helmet for the charity event. What a shilling pig.

Shippers: Cait was there at the finish with the boos. There were three unicorns on his helmet. One for each boo.

Non-Shippers: Sam is a good man, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2014.  

Mommies: Sam can do no wrong. I'm going to go fantasize about him riding me like that motorcycle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Sam:  Raises over 2 million dollars for charity with Win A Date With Sam.

Sam Haters: I can't believe that selfish, untalented ass took the person who won to dinner the night before and didn't sit with her at the gala table the actual night of. What a fraud.

Shippers: Cait was there on the date and raised her eyebrow at the winner all night. She also made Sam show pics of all 4 of their boos from his phone.

Non-Shippers: Sam is a generous man, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2013.  

Mommies: I paid for 2093 chances for that date with Sam. I should have won and he would have fallen in love with me over dinner and he would have swept me off to Skye, skipping the gala altogether. I would have worn red lace undergarments.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam: Works on Outlander for 14 hours and then goes home and does an Instagram Live for fans.

Sam Haters: I can't believe that selfish, untalented ass thinks he's funny or charming. Did you see him rub his eyes? He must be plastered as usual. I can't believe he drinks while filming. No wonder the show has gone to crap.

Shippers: Cait and Sam made heart eyes during their Instagram Live for 30 whole minutes. Wasn't it cute how she laughed at everything he said? Poor thing, he look exhausted since he'd just bathed and fed the oldest three and rocked the newborn twins to sleep.  

Non-Shippers: Sam is a hard-working man, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2016.  

Mommies: My poor baby looked exhausted on the live! If he were my husband I'd make sure he went straight to bed when he got home. "To bed, or to sleep?" Hahahahah, I'm so clever.    

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam:  Goes out and about in Glasgow.

Sam Haters: Did you see that selfish, untalented ass's f'ing bald spot? His hair looks like crap. He purposely planted that tree in front of that restaurant before going in because he's a thoughtless jerk who likes to hide in tree branches. He really irks me.  

Shippers: Cait was there too with the 5 kids. You just can't see her because she hides. You can, however, see the reflection of oldest boo in his sunglasses. And, those aren't chest muscles under his leather jacket. He's got the twins in a super secret baby carrier under there.

Non-Shippers: Sam is a man about town, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2017.  

Mommies: I can't believe Sam was sitting alone in that restaurant eating by himself. I hope he didn't see me behind that tree. If he were mine, he'd never, ever have to eat a meal alone. I'd spoon feed him porridge from his very own Sassenach bowl.    

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam:  Seen walking with a young blonde woman.

Sam Haters: I can't believe that selfish, untalented ass just finished screwing that teenager and now he's going to ghost her so he doesn't have to spend any money on her. He's a skinflint and a cradle robbing pig. Oh, he was just doing a Make-A-Wish stroll for his agent's niece? Well, he still shouldn't have been seen walking with her, that asshole.  

Shippers: Sam is forced by the narrative implemented by the horrific powers that be to pretend he's a womanizer and not married to Cait. According to our meeting-attending expert on all things narrative, the narrative will go on indefinitely, or until she says it's over.  

Non-Shippers: Sam is a red blooded man. He can sleep with whoever he wants, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since she was 18 years old.

Mommies: Sam was just innocently strolling when this bothersome girl came up to ask him for an autograph. He walked with her awhile because he's a complete and utter gentleman. He would never sleep with someone half his age because he likes a more mature woman, ahem.    

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam:  Clipped his toenails.

Sam Haters: That selfish, untalented ass clipped his moldy, gross, unwashed toenails and then put them in the blender with his smoothie mix. What a gross man.  

Shippers: Sam pretended to cut his toenails, but it was really Cait kneeling at his feet doing it for him, kissing each bubble bath soaked toe as she went. Thankfully the 6 boos were all tucked into bed.

Non-Shippers: Sam can do whatever he wants with his toenails, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2012.

Mommies: Thank you for that tasty smoothie recipe Sam. It's the best I've ever had. Heart eyes, heart eyes.    

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam:  Said "wow" when on a fishing boat excursion where the guide killed the tuna that had been caught.

Sam Haters: That selfish, untalented ass had the audacity to be on a fishing boat and not throw himself into the middle of the ocean when the catch was mercilessly bludgeoned 18...no 21 times. That unsympathetic cretin. Pass me my tuna sandwich, please.  

Shippers: Sam was forced to go on that boat ride because someone saw him in the outdoor rock shower with Cait in Hawaii. Cait didn't mind because that steamy shower resulted in their twins, Boo and Goo.  

Non-Shippers: Sam can eat whatever he wants, but he's not with Cait. Cait has been with Tony since 2015.

Mommies: Poor Sam was about to be attacked by that tuna. He looked scared to death. If I was the tuna, I would have been jumping out of the ocean to tackle Sam too. Precious boy.

The Play's The Thing Watch: Deathtrap (1982)

Watched:  03/28/2023

Format:  TCM

Viewing:  First

Director:  Sidney Lumet

We watched Deathtrap (1982) in 2 parts, watching the first 30 minutes or so the night before we wrapped it up, finishing the last hour.  In between, I made comment to some pals that you don't see many movies about plays and the theatre, especially based on plays.  There are some, but not a lot.  There's a gulf in many folk's knowledge of Broadway other than that the tickets are pretty expensive when Spamelot! comes to town, but you pay it.  I expect this is a bit different for New Yorkers or Londoners, which an overwhelmingly vast majority of us are not, so movies have to be careful and ensure folks living in the suburbs know wtf they're talking about.

Still, you can do it and get away with it.  I can't name one of the movies we kicked around that I'd seen (Noises Off!, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern, Chorus Line) that I don't like.  Probably should have squeezed in Cabaret for good measure.  

And, of course, I'm a Michael Caine stan, and the co-star is Christopher Reeve.  Plus: Dyan Cannon!  

It's a movie with a small cast, with Caine on screen > 75% of the time.  Sticking to the stageplay, it mostly takes place inside a single location of an East Hamptons house - something I assume means something to people from NYC and only marginally something to folks from Austin, TX.  

It's Caine as a failing playwright of comedic thrillers, his wealthy wife Dyan Cannon, and Christopher Reeve, who has written a brilliant play on his first go, and Caine realizes he can steal the play if he bumps off Reeve and takes it, putting his own name on it.

The set-up allows for amazing staging with props left over from Caine's prior shows around, his vintage collection of weapons, etc... 

For a play about plays, it doesn't get too in the weeds, I think, even as it probably was making jokes I wasn't quite getting referring to the theater scene.  It also has a very tight grip on the mechanics of thrillers - as it both is a thriller and talks about thrillers, sometimes passing through the looking glass in a single scene where it becomes clear the action is mounting.

This is really the astounding bit.  

It's a sort of light-chuckle comedy for the most part - that's part of the mix when you're also writing a script with the fairly serious business of murder for personal gain.  Cannon's character is a Simon character with daffy quirks you know aren't just set dressing, and tossing in a psychic with an accent is a lot, but in it's better moments the thing works splendidly.

SPOILERS

But the last scene was... not great.  Already it's hard to deal with a thriller that requires a wacky character to have what seems to be functioning ESP.  You've just entered magic into your thriller, plus a complete lack of boundaries from a stranger in a way that feels dishonest.  

Ha ha.  Got it.  She used her abilities to suss out the situation and made a buck off the two guys bumping each other off...  it's just not narratively very satisfying.  But it also feels very much like something in 1980 people would have found cute.  And cute is a weird f'ing turn for this movie to pursue in the final minutes of run time.  

Overall, I liked the movie, but it's really weird to watch something and feel like the movie absolutely fumbled on the one yard line.  Maybe a re-watch would get me to reconsider, but I don't know who inclined I am to a re-watch.

That said, Caine is typically phenomenal Caine, Reeve is fucking great, and Dyan Cannon is an absolute delight.

[wtflife01]

Probably bc they are v excited to see them. I live in Europe & my family in Aus. I see them once a year if I'm lucky. Next month I see them for the first time in 4 years. You apparently have no idea how f'ing hard it is to miss kids you love growing up bc of distance, do not judge ppl for being excited. ///

I know what that means just a little bit because I'm just starting to live in a different country for my career. You probably can never understand ME since I am very much involved in my niece's life because I'm a caregiver in this case. I know I will get used to it because it's a new situation but it's not far away so I will still be able to see her and take care of her if possible. But it's harder for her atm cause she's so small and we have a strong bound. Maybe I got too excited while writing also because of this. I still have time before moving completely so I still see her but not as much as before. Why I'm saying this is because I look at this with a different perspective. The thing is.. What I'm talking about is different and has nothing to do with staying away or getting excited. If you are those type of people who turn all excitements in your life into a show on social media, that's your thing. It doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. And the thing is, you're not even a figure who is becoming an influencer or trying to get popular because in that case sharing the kids become the part of that. What's the point of putting child's photo in a post where you're making an ad. What's the point of sharing a child that much and so clearly. Also your situation is not the same. But that excitement doesn't give anyone to right to share minors. Children are not things that are supposed to entertain people or make them happy and feel cute. But people find that sweet which makes me angry

oh my god what is the fashion trend you’re talking about? Am I too young to have heard of it or is it an American trend? Lol. (And why would gen-z try to bring it back💀). I was born when low-rise jeans and capri pants were a thing, the lowest point in fashion history if you ask me🔪

By the way, about the amended/ flux debate: I saw 🌚 yesterday and told her about this and she was like JK in that one video where he’s hitting Namjoon’s thigh to draw his attention and make him tell everyone he painted something. She kept going “amended please tell her I miss amended” lol.

As for me, post whatever doesn’t make you overwork or stress over editing. You know I would read everything, even your grocery list if you posted one🤧

Which reminds me I have to tell you I read Lone Blue Egg AND I LOVED IT. I found it so cute🤧🤧 how something can be so cute and kinky at the same time I will never know, but I mean look at real life JK👀

🌸

Do you mean the scrunchie shirt or the weird sweatshirt wearing? Maybe the weird sweatshirts was only a Texan thing LOL. It's not like we got super cold and needed too much warmth from sweatshirts but we wanted to be cool and casual too I guess? The scrunchie shirts are awful. Low rise jeans are the other Inner Circle of Hell fashion abomination for sure. I wasted so much of my youth hating myself because of those. My legs are too muscular for capris to ever have been a good look for me, additional devastation. 😆

That is one of my favorite JK moments, I have now watched it in my head five times.

I spent all afternoon editing Amended, I think I'm halfway through it's like 40 f'ing pages. I think I'm going to get this and Flux posted in the next two days though, I was just too fried to try and write today anyway.

I'm so glad you like Lone Blue Egg! The second chapter of any story is always the absolute hardest to write, so I appreciate the positive feedback 😉

What's Henry's "familial" role in the post-ink au? By this I mean: he's clearly almost paternal in his behavior, and they'll all need emotional support (which they can mostly get from each other, but not entirely [coughcoughsammy]). He also has his actual nuclear family, wife and all. Does he have to budget specific times for, say, having coffee with buddy? Does Sammy start to stick by him like a troubled child? Do the main cast set up excuses to get him to taking his f'ing wife on a f'ing date?

SO current thinking of the like.... set up (????) for Escape AU is that while Henry & Linda were in town, Henry finally followed up on Joey's letter and checked out the old studio and the events of Bendy and the Ink Machine happen and Henry's trapped in a loop for however long. When he finally escapes with the first person he's able to rescue, he desperately calls Linda and... eventually works out that she's still in their hotel room and she’s just like "yeah I’m still here, you just left a bit ago to meet with joey??? how did that go and also are you okay you sound, uh, stressed" b/c very little time has actually passed

Now that they know what’s going on in the Studio, both the Steins want to help, so Henry runs back in to pull out as many people as he can while Linda sets things up so that they'll have somewhere to stay. 

Once they see how everyone's initially adjusting to The Real World (various levels of "badly") they talk it over and decide to take things one step at a time -- they're able to get a very fixer-upper house outside of the city, but they want to see how things go before everyone uproots, so Linda will go back home and stay at her job for now, and Henry will stay here and maybe find some freelance work and help everyone adjust for the next [x amount of time]. After that they can figure out if everyone is gonna disperse with Henry heading back to CA, or if Linda will move to the East Coast so she and Henry can live closer to the JDS crew and keep helping out.

(a lot of this was Boo ( @inkyvendingmachine )'s ideas originally b/c I was just like IDK THEY ALL LIVE IN A HOUSE NOW and he started seriously pondering it xD)

Anyway more specifically about Henry--

Linda is understood to be the person who's providing housing for them; she also sends some money to help out, since a lot of them can't work and she has a slightly better job than Henry -- so everyone has to be cool with Henry occasionally sending her photos of how everyone's doing and keeping her updated. For his part, Henry is also kind of recovering, and Linda knows it -- he needs this time to be Doing Something that isn't just going back home and feeling like he doesn't fit anymore with months or years of experience that now feel like a dream -- he needs this chance to help the others and ground his own experience just as much as the rest of the crew needs his help to ground them in the real world. I'm not sure Henry like.... acknowledges this as much as maybe he should, that he's in the same place and deserves to be shown as much understanding and patience as the others do. He likely gets the same flashbacks and moments of being back in the Studio as the others, in addition to the emotional weirdness of having spent so long in a loop that only he was aware of, but as always, so many of Henry's feelings are internal that it's easy for him to decide his needs are the ones that should be set aside when things are rough.

I've joked with Boo that the first rule of the JDS escape house is "Don't Worship Henry Stein," but I actually really like this as something that was probably initially a rushed instruction to Sammy upon escaping, but eventually stuck around as something that Henry really does mean for everyone -- he is just a normal person who helped, not a saviour or a therapist or even really a leader, and the pressure of having to correctly fix or save everyone and everything would be just as likely to break him as Joey Drew Studios was -- he needs the others to not push him into that position.

Still, having Henry as a guy who can mediate and make the final calls and set up ground rules... helps. Not because he's a perfect mediator, but because he's someone from outside all the horrors of JDS's decline who tangibly cares about everyone there, and the others can trust and respect him for that reason.

Anyway, as soon as everyone is Stable Enough That Henry Isn't Worried To Leave Them Alone he's absolutely looking forward to taking some time away to stay with Linda and the household will have to survive without him for a bit (and there's probably at least one sitcom episode in that), and I also like the idea of Linda eventually coming to visit once things are a little less volatile. The idea of the rest of the house trying REALLY HARD TO SET EVERYTHING UP SO HENRY CAN HAVE SOME TIME AWAY WITH HIS WIFE is really cute and good....

[as an aside, I don't think Sammy would stick to Henry most of the time. I think, as an introvert in a house crammed full of people, he'd be desperate to carve away a sanctuary that is safe and quiet and spend a lot of his time hiding from everyone. He is weirdly compliant to Henry, though; he'll complain and snark about it but he'll loyally follow any instructions Henry gives him and make an effort to please him. Henry's more likely the one who'd seek out one-on-one time with Sammy to try to figure out why his old friend seems so afraid(???) of him.]

Dani Reviews Wonder

hello, I'm well aware no one asked for this but this is the only way I can order my thoughts on an album and when Romance came out, someone literally asked me to fully review it and I've never forgotten about that and I loved writing a full review so hello here I am

I hate that I have to do this but DISCLAIMER: these are my opinions. I get that you may not agree with them and that’s totally cool, but if you come into my inbox attacking my opinions on a song, I will not answer it and it will be deleted without a second thought. Let’s discuss the songs, not tear each other apart 

and LET’S GO

1. INTRO

Ok so I typically do nothing with intros because I usually think they’re a waste of time. HOWEVER, I really like this one. Now that we’ve heard the whole album, it really encapsulates the entire feel of the rest of the album. It’s been on my playlist since it’s been released and I'm obsessed with it. The soft little piano in the beginning is just perfect and I really love the build up. (not many lyrics to chose from here ope)

You have a million different faces, but they'll never understand unless you let them in

2. WONDER

I never did a full analysis like I was going to for this song. However, I’m going to do like half of one here. I honestly feel like he can be talking about himself, his fans or a girl. You can see it in all 3 ways. I also just feel like there are some lyrics in this where I'm like YES. It reminds me a little bit of Mirrorball by Taylor Swift in the fact that we expect so much from celebrities and like.....why??? It’s just kind of fucked. I think this is honestly such a good single and I really really love it. I feel like it’s just really pure?? if that makes sense. Like he’s just being like “I wonder why it is like this.” and the BRIDGE ugh she's so beautiful.

I wonder why I’m so afraid of saying something wrong. I never said I was a saint.

3. HIGHER

A CERTIFIED BOP. It’s just so lively and upbeat and I wanna dance and I CANNOT WAIT to hear this live. It’s going to be absolutely insane. Blasted it on my way to get coffee this morning. And the lyrics are so lovey and cute but the beat is just too fkn good. I feel like it’s a very common theme in this album to be like “with you, nothing else matters” and like...can’t relate but ALAS I love the music about it anyway.

All eyes are lookin' at us but I can't stop fallin' in love

4. 24 HOURS

OH BOY time to FKN CRY. I absolutely love how old timey it feels. Especially the beginning, it makes me think of 50s music and I’ve been on a big 50s kick recently. Again he’s just so loud about being I don’t care what anyone thinks because I love you and I know it’s you and like YES PLEASE. and just being so in love that you’d throw it all away to come home to that person every day. I really love how the lyrics start with him being like I don’t know how to do this at all but I love you so lets go from there and then figure out the rest. And quoting “only fools rush in” made me so emotional. I love how simple the music is behind it because I think it really encapsulates the feeling of the song. It’s so hard to pick a favorite lyrics for this song my god.

(Besides the entire chorus) I paint the world that you deserve, every color you'd imagine

5. TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE

UMMMM OK???? Very Justin Timberlake vibes for me personally. Very 70s. Very vibey. “Draw a map for me laced with strawberries” ???? HOMIES I cannot I genuinely cannot. As sexual as this is, I also think it’s just so PURE. Like just teach me what’s best for you and I’ll do it. Also like...Shawn say “fuck” challenge like homie you could’ve just said it. Please. I also feel like if I was in love with someone, it’d hit different but for me it is just so FUN and I love the guitar parts a TOn. Like Idk how you can’t just get up and dance to this. Also this one live is going to be other worldly. And “babe I won’t stop til you feel the rush” I MEANNNN

F'ing me up, I'm what you dеserve

6. CALL MY FRIENDS

Ok, so idk what to really say about this one. I like the concept. I think the concept itself is really sweet and fuck it hits different when you’re away from all your friends especially during quarantine and college in general. Like I was (still am) on the phone with my friends constantly, because like Shawn said, they know me better than any one else ever will because they watched me go and grow through it. It’s also just sad because we grow up and grow apart and fuck it’s HARD. I’m not a huge fan of the chorus and I think that’s the main thing for me. The verses are sweet, but idk really about the chorus. I’m just indifferent about the chorus. But there are just lyrics in here that really hit me like “I miss how it was when we we wished we were older.” that one really gets me. 

I know you gotta make some sacrifices, I don't wanna be alone for one more night

7. DREAM

Ok I LOVE THIS SONG but I have to first get something off my chest. The first time I listened to it, I could only think of the dream song from shark boy and lava girl. I don’t know why. But I’m done with that now. Moving on. This song is just so sweet and lovey and I’m obsessed with it. I really like the rhythm of it?? I think that’s the word I’m looking for idk. ALSO him talking about their little touch bracelets like wtf why is no one in love with me. I honestly don’t have much to say about this except that I’m thoroughly obsessed with it. I kinda feel like this song could be in a movie?? you feel me??? The echoey “dream”s are also just GORGEOUS, also how it gets so soft at the end fuck I love this song. And if I think too much about it I’ll cry, but the parallels between Dream and Dream of You

I don't wanna wake up without you laying next to me

8. SONG FOR NO ONE

This song makes me sad. Very sad. God, just the feeling of having a notification and wanting it to be that one person and it just never is but every time you’re like ok but what if. I was thinking about this last night and the way I see it is that he’s made it clear all of his songs are for/about Camila. So I feel like this one is very guard up, being like “no no this isn’t about you, I swear I’m not writing songs about you. it’s about no one. it’s just something I made up” which just makes it all so much harder. Also the use of “someone” instead of “her” or “you” is also very like “I’m not going to say it.” It’s just all very sad because you have to imagine everyone asking him all the time who his songs are about and he just had to keep saying “no one.” This is the first time where he’s actually been able to say “HEY THEY’RE ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND.” And like fuck, finally. Also imagining Shawn drunk calling her and her having to say she doesn’t feel the same. AND when he's like it’s fine I’ll be fine anyway as his voice kind of trails off like GOD that feeling HURTS. I just have way too much to say about this song because I think you can go really deep into it on what the years before Camila and him started dating were really like for him. 

Close my eyes, things are better in my dreams, 'cause I'm with someone, someone I adore

9. MONSTER

I won’t say too much about this bc this song has been out for a little bit, so I’ll make this a little more personal. my friend Han is a HUGE Justin fan and I am pretty obviously a HUGE Shawn fan. and we’d always be like “omg what if” but we thought it was never going to happen so when rumors started circulating about this, we were fucking freaking out. This song is literally our dream collab. I think Justin was the perfect person for this song because of his time in the public eye. And just the whole song being like “you put me up here, so I guess you’re the only one who can push me off.” And it is pretty fucked how we put celebrities on these pedestals and expect them to not make any mistakes at all when we are constantly making them. It’s just hypocritical. It’s also hard to pick a favorite lyric for this one because I think there are a lot that hit hard so I’m doing a fave Shawn and fave Justin

Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath // ‘Cause unforgiveness keeps them in control

10. 305

This one surprised me in the best way. I have no idea what I was expecting for this song but god I LOVE IT. I’m obsessed with it and want to jam forever. Just very boppy??? and so HAPPY. I get so smiley when I listen to it. “Waiting for the moment that you’ll let me down” just stuck out to me because I feel like that’s such a universal feeling. Like when everything’s going so good and you’re like....ok what’s about to go wrong. I’m literally dancing in my seat to this baby. The chorus is so catchy and I really wish I was in love pt 358933. I think this may be crowned as my favorite on the album. It’s just so fun and full of love. 

Would take my heart with you if you walked away

11. ALWAYS BEEN YOU

I have been looking forward to this one and she did not disappoint!! Again, this man is screaming about how in love he is and yes, sir I’m listening. You’re the only one my heart keeps coming back to!!!!! And just the very loud instrumental with the soft “always been you”s is SO GOOD. The boy who’s really underneath all the scars and insecurities!!! God, I just feel like this one is especially raw about love. And for the thousandth time, really wish I was in love to fully feel this but STILL it has such a good beat but is still so so soft. 

Full of words I don't know how to say

12. PIECE OF YOU

Heavily reminds me of Jealous by Nick Jonas and I am HERE FOR IT. I feel like we haven’t gotten a ton of this blatant jealousy from him and the HONESTY of this is very like yes I'm possessive. I’m so into you it hurts!!! The counting is also.....hot. Idk why but I love a song that’s very like “yes I'm protective and pathetic and reckless and what about it???” Again, love the beat. A little 80s in my opinion (here’s me remembering it’s MJ inspired lmao). 

From the second you walked in the room, my night is ruined

13. LOOK UP AT THE STARS

*deep breath bc I love this song so much* ok so I read the lil things Spotify had underneath before each song and I cried immediately when I just READ that it was for the fans and then listening to it in that light just killed me. ALSO if you saw his insta live last night he was literally like “look up at the stars!! remember that one!!” and now I'm like OK THANKS. Anyways, It is so soft and fuck it’s so meaningful. This is one of my favorites for sure. It’s literally like he’s sending you away from the concert and this would be such a good closing song (I know it won’t be but I can dream). I’m crying again but “I'm not going to let you down”??? PLEASE I JUST. Calling us angels!! I’LL NEVER BE ALONE Y’ALL I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH. Never Be Alone has very much turned into our song with Shawn as his way to be like hey I’m always here so YOU’LL never be alone, and now here he is saying because YOU ALL are here I am never going to be alone. AND FUCK IT HITS DIFFERENT. AND SPENDING THE NIGHT IN WONDERLAND WITH YOU!!!! God I’m just a puddle after this one

the streetlights are all saying your name, they always say your name

14. CAN’T IMAGINE

he wrote this on his own and yes I'm emotional about it. I don’t think he’s released a song he’s written on his own since handwritten revisited??? (correct me if I'm wrong) but even that alone is enough for me to know he’s getting way more confident in his music. I think it’s a really good closing because it’s so soft and acoustic and very true to him as he started. The raspiness and realness of it even with the lil thing he says at the end. AGAIN, why tf have I not felt a love like this yet??? Of course, I’m just going to not think of it romantically but just having those people where you can’t even begin to even think about what your life would be like without them. Like I think the lack of descriptors is actually really powerful because like...he can’t imagine it, he can’t explain it so let me just tell you that I genuinely don’t know what would happen if you weren’t here. It closes out the album perfectly (not many lyrics to pick from here lmao)

Without you, all things right would feel so wrong

OVERALL - I honestly really like it there are a bunch of songs I can see myself listening to for a WHILE but there are a few that I'm very eh on as well. I really like the sound of it and the production and just the ~feel~ of the whole album

Nashville, TN -- Katy Kirby will be releasing her debut album Cool Dry Place on February 19 via Keeled Scales. Last month, she shared her new single “Traffic!” with a cartoonish dark comedy music video. While it’s a song about privilege, there’s an innate playfulness to the track with jangly guitar hooks and catchy chorus. Katy Kirby’s pointed lyrics and masterful songwriting give “Traffic!” a beautiful dynamic of a light song that goes deeper beyond the surface.

On the track, Kirby explains “I’d gotten involved with someone objectively cooler and hotter than me, but was getting annoyed with how wrapped up he was in his own basic angst and mild life setbacks. Especially when it seemed so obvious that he'd been spared from much of human suffering's broad spectrum. The song turned into something like a meditation on what counts as actual injury, like a rant about material vs. immaterial damage. What right do I have (nevermind the person I wrote this to, or everyone else) to self-interest, when the damage I sustain generally seems to roll right off me, like a cute lil’ Wile E Coyote running ‘round in the twilight of democracy, being absolutely f'ing fine.”

Ugh all the shit people throw at Brie drives me into a rage, too. And the shitty fact is that the misogynistic pissbaby haters get more press than the many more people that love or at least like her and so that's mostly all the we/she sees unless there're events where she can actually interact w/ the gracious fans and the cute kids inspired by her work. Like, sorry to all the assholes so dissatisfied with their own lives that she isn't a meek little wallflower but neither is Captain f'ing Marvel

all of this like, ugh, i hope that she sees as much love on social media as we give her maybe not like, all of the gay screaming but

i just! she’s so important to me! and inspires me so much! and i just want her!!! to be happy!

Episode 12: April 19

a li'l water to put out the fire...

I'm just gonna get right on to it and jump straight into the mission. darrell and I were all set to go first for this rope climbing, real world falling, water plunging mission. we were horrible. to be the first is the hardest because you have to be the guinea pig. people will learn from YOUR mistakes.... and we made a few. first of all, we over planned. MAJORLY. "okay, you take that rope cause it's linger and I'll take the little one then it will be your turn again and if you want, you can get the one next to it too, but make sure that you tell me because maybe I'll get it and if you want you can stand on my shoulders and I'll just hole my breathe and blah blah blah blah BLAH." I was tired just from LOOKING at the damn thing.

so the horn blows and darrell and I jumped right into the freezing ocean water and swam straight ahead with only one thought in mind, "drown those real worlders!" okay.. maybe not drown, but the certainly needed to go down.  as darrell and I tried to climb the ropes, we realized that it was incredibly slippery with the aqua sox they gave us to wear. we were sliding all over the place! finally I told darrell to stand on my shoulders. I cannot think of I time I was scared more. imagine a 175 pound boxer standing on top of you as you hold your breathe under water! I started to panic! I tried coming up for more air and couldn't because he was still jumping on my neck just trying to get to that first knot. I honestly freaked. so when I tried to climb the rope after that I was out of breath and still shaken up. I was having the hardest time and all the sudden I heard everyone yelling at me to "go" and "hurry" and whatnot. I snapped. they had no idea how hard it was because we were the first to go. I yelled back, "I'm f'ing TRYING!" I think they were a little taken back. I was just frustrated because I felt like they were underestimating me when I had always proven myself to be a good competitor. once syrus and leah went, though, they realized that it was a LOT harder than had thought.

katie and timmy were quite the surprise. timmy was struggling... which we never would have guessed. katie did very well climbing the ropes. by that time we had realized that the aqua sox were no good. I was really proud of her. timmy, though, was all out of breath from being her underwater supporter. I tell you... it's a lot tougher than it looks. we were all stunned. finally christena remembered what timmy has been talking about the entire trip and she shouted out, "hey timmy! it's all about the last challenge!" and almost immediately he FLEW up that rope like a rocket was attached to his ass. it was incredible! ahh... the power of the mind....

mike and coral were absolutely hilarious! it was because of them that the mission was so fun. they were like two bumbling clowns... laurel and hardy. I think at first they were a little perturbed, but when heckling went into full effect from such comedians as darrell, abe, timmy and everyone else chiming in with their own taunting comments, they couldn't help but lose focus. when coral was climbing, abe was yelling things like, "wow, I wish I was that rope!" they were laughing so hard, which in turn, made us laugh even harder... encouraging even more comments from our peanut gallery. mike's always saying, "who's the big winner?" so, of course, that was thrown back at him as well. if they had not been such good sports, I would not have enjoyed that mission even the slightest. finally, they just accepted their defeat and swam back to the ladder... still laughing

finally, it was veronica and abe's turn.... we were already so far ahead that it was really pointless to take the mission seriously anymore. v and abe had fun and plowed through the whole course so quickly... rubbing it right in their cute little faces. when abe got to his last rope, mike was awaiting his fall. abe reached for the rope, smugly looked at mike and yelled, "who's the big winner NOW?" and yanked the rope so hard. so abe falls in the water and guess what.... mike remains. cause the goof ball grabbed the WRONG ROPE! we were all DYING with laughter. so veronca starts climbing the right rope... meanwhile abe come out of the water, sees mike still sitting there and he yells to v, "PLEEEASE let me get him!" but v was already well on her way. everyone wants to take down the miz.  

so on to the voting.... this is when katie made her speech, right? I thought she put everything perfectly. she'd already proven herself, she wasn't being catty, and she made her point clear as day and with such maturity and poise. a job well done. so timmy and darrell were up along with david and... who was it again? doesn't matter... david is the obvious choice. and they chose timmy. although I'm not sure why. darrel IS intimidating and he IS a golden glove boxer, but I think RW forgot that timmy sets himself on fire for a living. has anyone seen his show on the history channel? it's called guts and bolts. basically, he shows how things work by being the ginnea pig. one time they were showing how a tazer gun works... so guess who they used it on. timmy. now is that they guy you want to go against in the inferno? the guy will do anything. anyway, so it's timmy vs. david. but rw wants to toss in leah.... see how the tides have changed?

I'm sorry you don't understand chicken

I work in a restuarant, and some HYPER-PEPPY soccer mom lady, complained to my manager because apparently I was rude to her. When my manager came to me to ask me "what I did to her" because apparently she told him "this is the worst I've EVER been treated I'm never coming back blabhlah blah", I told him the exact conversation I had with this woman.

First of all, we're in Florida and it's literally 2 days before Hurricane Irma that this happened. People here are going f'ing nuts. We have been slammed all day everyday, for the last 3 days. I have been here, working 7-9 hour shifts for all of those days with no breaks. I.AM.EXHAUSTED.

My shift is almost over, and let me tell you I am counting the seconds.

In walks this lady, in a neon yellow blouse, and that suburban mom side-bangs haircut. 

She asks me how much chicken comes in our fried chicken baskets (it literally says how many pieces are in it right there on the giant sign, right in front of her face), and I politely tell her 8 pieces.

Then she asks me, what comes in the fried chicken family special? (Again, its right there on the sign, but whatever) So I tell her, 8 pieces of chicken, 3 side items, and 4 biscuits.

So she goes, "Oh so those two meals are the same thing?"

and I tell her "no" and I explain the difference to her, she still insisted they were the same thing (they aren't, and the difference is very simple). I explained to her the differences between these chicken meals THREE TIMES. 

At which point she told me "Cheer up, sweetheart! Enjoy your job more! People are great!" OOOOOH.MMMYYYYY.GOOOOOD.

FIRST OF ALL, I was not being "uncheerful" I was just explaining it to her in a serious manner (also, IM F'ING EXHAUSTED).

second of all, DON'T TELL ME to enjoy my job more, because you don't know what kind of day I've had.

And don't stand here and f'ing tell me "people are great!" in that tone that tells me you haven't been dealing with people all day like I have.

((I had a couple literally give their dirty dishes to their 5-yr old to play with, who then proceeded to THROW THEM ACROSS THE DINING ROOM. And you know what her parents did??? Laughed! They thought that was cute!!!))

But I didn't say any of that to this lady, I just didn't make conversation with her from the rest of her transaction. Which is apparently "the worst" she has "ever" been treated.

Well, you've clearly never worked in foodservice, asshole.

Dinah=🌛half of the 🌚. C has stated mutliple times that the moon is like a friend to her. D's snapchat is verified with a crescent moon. C's lyrics "I only told the moon, about the way you move. I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too" - hmm, who's the person L and C can both confide in? D's the only 1 who I think is still close to C, they're making it clear since D still follows C on twitter. Also "I stay up PART 1 -🌕

(Cont.)"talking to the moon... but whats the point of a moon like this when i'm alone again" - what's the point of talking to D when after they hang up, shes alone again? 2 days before C left 5H, D posted a photo on IG reading 'how many of us are real friends to real friends' - again, how much of a coincidence can this be? Also, do you remember D's back tattoo? A CRESCENT F'ING MOON Dinah=🌛 PART 2 -🌕"-----I don't think C & D are still close friends (c talking about losing that very close friend overnight. C unfollowing even Dinah on social media. Dinah talking about how the four of them went through so much, while Camila stands beside her during that interview.)And I think she chose that design coz it's just probably cute.But the (only told the moon) song interpretation is interesting. Who knows, maybe you're right.

I found this in my inbox anonymously...

Below is the letter I found in my inbox, it was sent in February anonymously. To her future man: There are some things you need to know bro. Her favorite color is blue but you'll only ever see her wear black. She'll refuse to eat carbs if she hasn't exercised so make her enjoy some good food. Btw she's not one of those girls afraid to eat in front of guys. Her weakness is Girl Scout cookies or chicken nuggets.She loves coffee. She cant drive by aroma joes without going so just assume you're already going & turn in. Her favorite flavor of ice cream is coffee but she still reads every single flavor on the menu before choosing it. She's so determined on working out, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with that much drive in them & I'm so proud of her for that. She helps other ladies loose weight all year around for free without bragging or zero recognition. She cries when she's stressed & angry & sometimes all she needs is a big hug so hug her. If you want to see her cute cheeks blush & that perfect grin, remind her how beautiful she is. I don't know if you know this but she has these beautiful freckles that she hides away from everyone, you'll fall in love with every single one & when she's comfortable enough you get blessed to see them more often. There will be fights. She says "nothing is peaches n' cream" so much you'll miss it. But she's fighting and nagging because she cares & is worried. Shes in love with every dogshe meets and wants a pomsky. If you ever want to make her day bring her to a shelter she loves all animals. She's so understanding that you can tell her anything. She's a great listener& will want to know every piece of you so don't skimp out on a single detail. Despite being a great listener it's hard to crack open this mysterious women but you'll get there. Her exs ruined her, she'll get into her own head & just needs small reassurance everything is okay & some extra attention on certain days, who knows why. Due to her past she gets scared of guys with anger. She trusts nothing you say cause she's heard it a million times and watched it crumble her inside, show her actions. Don't be that guy. I ended up being one of them. She's going to apologize too much cause of her past. She's going to wonder if she's good enough for you and she feels the pressure. Her heart is gold & she's loyal & you'll wonder if you even deserve that, those thoughts will hit your head. Can I reciprocate everything she gives? How did I get so lucky? When you get these thoughts know that you are good enough and don't ruin it for yourself just for those reasons. All she wants is your time. Not money or gifts or take away your friends & life goals. If anything she builds you up higher. She panics over loud noises just tell her she's fine & grab her hand & don't ever pressure her & ask why. She can sleep through anything & always look so cute. She stays in the same position the entire night & I have no f'ing clue how. If she keeps rubbing her neck she's in pain, offer her a massage & play with her hair & watch her relax. She loves cuddling & getting as close to you as possible. These are the moments you'll miss the most so never take it for granted. Never give another girl your attention while you have hers because that's how you'll lose her. I loved her but I never deserved her. Last but not least remember that every guy wants her & just cause you have her doesn't mean you should stop working for her. She gives a lot & takes very little,oh man do I wish I did those tiny things she'd ask for. Don't make the mistake I did & leave because she was too good, because you won't find it in anyone else & you'll search for it & miss it when it's too late. Oh & can someone please teach her how to park.
