school me in a l l o f t h e m I dare you

homie that would be. far too many. so i’ll give you the two i currently really wanna talk about, starting with the one i’d get less hate over probably

Narumitsu/Wrightworth- Ace Attorney series

i mean. this one. this one’s easy as hell. let’s start from the beginning. pheonix wright, 3rd grader, is accused of stealing the lunch money of miles edgeworth, aspiring lawyer and fellow 3rd grader. the class is awful to pheonix, saying that he stole the money without proving it in a mock trial. it gets to the point where even the teacher is telling him to apologize. this poor child is sobbing, trying to explain that he didn’t do it. suddenly, an objection. surprise bitches it’s the victim, miles edgeworth. “blah blah you can’t say he did it without any proof blah blah he shouldn’t have to apologize”. the class apologizes and pheonix is acquitted. this marks the start of their friendship. not too long after (a couple of years, at most?) miles’ dad and role model is murdered in a horrible incident (this is responsible for edgeworth’s fear of earthquakes which sucks since he lives in japanifornia). miles is now under the care of manfred von karma, abusive german asshole prosecutor who can die in a hole. this is where miles stops talking to pheonix (moving away to germany can do that) and decides to be a prosecutor with his newfound hatred of crime. skip to college. pheonix is in a horrible abusive relationship, the poor baby barely avoided death and was immediately accused of murder. guess who’s prosecuting this trial? miles mcfrickin edgeworth. and pheonix thinks “hold on. i know him!!! oh my god what happened????” after he is, once again, acquitted, pheonix makes the stupidest desicion in his life: to become a defense attorney. he stops going to art school and starts going to law school, just so he can meet this dude again and ask him what the hell happened to him. because if the stubborn asshole wouldn’t respond to his letters, he’d have to meet him in court eventually anyways. so pheonix becomes a lawyer. he’s... surprisingly good at it. then a case with edgeworth. and he wins!! super well!!! once again!! edgeworth is likely just “oh my god what the fuck???” idk tho since we play as pheonix, dumbass extroardinaire. anyways, in either this case or a later one (i do not remember) edgeworth comes up to pheonix after losing and essentially tells him “you’re making me feel things and i don’t like feeling things so get out of my court” (i mean literally. “saddled with unnecessary feelings, like unease and uncertainty” like bITCH??? YOU LOVE HIM D U H). and then edgeworth is accused of murder. pheonix immediately is at the detention center going “bitch let me defend you or so help me god.” miles, ever the confusing fuck, is just “no. not happening, absolutely not.” (there’s also a line where edgeworth goes “i... didn’t want you to see me like this” and in the remastered version pheonix deadass thinks “trust me, i didn’t want to see you like this, either” like b IT CH.) anyways a quick earthquake happens and once everyone’s settled, pheonix realizes he can’t see miles through the glass anymore. he stands up to look through the room and bam there’s edgeworth, on the floor trembling. this poor man. anyways pheonix is just “well i’m gonna defend u even if u don’t want me to so i’m gonna start investigating” and he does that and talks to edgeworth’s lovely detective pal, gumshoe, who explains edgeworth’s fear of earthquakes and also that after he lost his first trial against pheonix edgeworth was literally just saying “wright, wright, wright” and pacing u h m?? anyways eventually pheonix finds out that the case is related to the dl-6 incident, which is the one where edgeworth’s father dies. he goes back to the detention center and edgeworth’s all “well that’s what i didn’t want you to find out but now you know so sure defend me what the hell but you’re gonna lose” bc guess who’s prosecuting??? v o n k ar m a. anyways pheonix wins the trial, gets von karma convicted for murdering edgeworth’s father also bc dl6 was never actually solved and it’s funky fresh. edgeworth is all “i don’t know what to say,,,,” so maya, pheonix’s lovely assistant in the original trilogy, is all “try t h a n k yo u”

other moments where they are Not Heterosexual include:

all of oldbag. edgey i am so fucking sorry you had to deal with her ass. i mean yeah everyone would have that reaction but edgeworth IS a snacc, he likely goes through this all the time. no girlfriend though. rampant homosexual

i mean seriously who wears a cravat all the time other than a gay and/or a vampire

“they’re rivals!” “maybe for now we are..”

“that man” “that defense attorney” “him”- miles edgeworth, all the time

5 red knights surrounding 1 blue pawn on edgeworth’s custom chessboard

there was a jewelry line made for the game. pheonix and edgeworth both have rings. they are the only ones with rings.

and that’s only the original trilogy babey!!! there’s plenty more in the future games but i unfortunately don’t know anything past apollo justice so ah well

2. Mavin/Team Nice Dynamite- Achievement Hunter

okay first of all this is a real people fandom so i’m gonna start with a disclaimer. A. i ship them casually, B. they (and their partners) are perfectly okay with it and joke about it all the time, C. they are in a committed bromance and i will not pester them in any way. thank you. this will also be in list form as there is less of a narritive to follow :>

okay so. these fucking nerds. met on valentine’s day. they tweet @ each other on valentine’s day saying shit like “happy anniversary” i can not make this up.

they refer to each other as “boi” and “my boi” all the time. michael’s twitter bio deadass says “[wife] is my girl, gavin is my boi”

just. just watch play pals

they got married in minecraft once. it was domestic and cute afterwards.

angry boy (michael) is simultaneously Soft with and Angrier with stupid brit (gavin)

“i will,,,, have sex with you,,, consensually.” -michael jones, drunk off his ass

*gavin appears on tv in a bar* “everyone look!! it’s my boy!!! that’s my boy!!!” *applause from the entire bar*-michael jones, once again drunk off his ass

almost the entire office lowkey ships it

michael gets jealous. all the time. he has mentioned a time when gavin referred to his other best friend as “his boi” and while recalling the anecdote, michael basically said “and i was like *growl*” like. damn ok

matching necklaces

michael is the best at translating gav’s britishisms and gavinisms

“my wife is dead,,,, my husband is dead”- michael jones, in a hardcore minecraft server where he is the sole survivor

they casually lay all over each other and invade each others’ personal space all the time

they joke about gavin being the bottom in literally every fic with them. gav’s only complaints with the fic are that he’s the bottom.

i think the reason they don’t have gavin do an episode of red dragon inn is because michael would be far too powerful. maybe one day tho. hopefully

michael’s own wife is just out here all “hell yeah dude fuckin go with it” (we love lindsay jones in this household)

“just kiss and get it over with”

“micool,,”- gavin free, Squeaky Brit

“sucked michael’s dick last night: gavin free”- credit on the podcast

the “are you wearing my jacket” “yeah, i guess i am” “stop! ,,,take my clothes off,,” line comes from them

just. look in the tag for mavin. you’ll see what i’m talking about.

their dynamic is very similar to @an-ok-dude and i’s actually. except. ours is less angry and squeaky. kinda

alright kids that’s it for now. this post is getting long and being on mobile means i can’t put it under a read more so i’m gonna stop here :>

bls tho check these tags there’s so much good content

#ask #anon #long post #fuck it i’m gonna post about all my interests from now on #cringe culture is dead it’s 2020 be gay do crimes #this post will be a milestone eventually #‘the ask that made marley decide she no longer gave a shit’

Ocean Eyes | Haz mini series | Part 2

Pairing: (Strangers to Friends to Lovers!) (Imaginary Love Triangle!) (Accidental Adultery!) Harrison Osterfield x Reader

A/n: It was my first ever fanfic, I earlier posted it on instagram and so thought of posting it here too. It’s trash. Check my masterlist for other fics, one-shots & more parts. IT’S A MINI SERIES, SO THERE ARE A LITTLE MORE THAN USUAL TIME SKIPS. I HOPE IT ISN’T THAT ANNOYING *prays*.

Word count: 2.98K

Warning: Physical insecurities, Angst, Drinking, refererence to menstrual phrase.

Description: Y/n Y/l/n, a doctor by profession, loner by destiny, having just a little celebrity crush on a British actor Tom Holland. Her whole life changes when she accidentally bumped into a blue-eyed man on a rainy dark night, who was supposed to be Tom’s best friend Harrison Osterfield. What will happen when Harrison starts to fall for her? This celebrity crush on Tom is intended to create some drama ;)

Part 2…

You were astonished to see your life-long favourite actor in front of your eyes. Thomas Stanley Holland a.k.a Tom Holland, the British actor best known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. God knows how many times you tried to apply for the Brother trust competition or planned to visit the comic cons when he was there. But because of your bad luck, everything failed. But it looks like you’re having a great day, getting introduced amongst 5 thousand fans is not as fun as being introduced personally. All thanks to Harrison. Tom and Harrison walked towards me chattering with each other. And your life-long celebrity crush is standing just 1 foot from me.

“Hi, there pretty lady. I am Tom… ” You didn’t let him complete his sentence and freaked out.

“Hoolllannndddd..of course, I know you, I am your big fan” Your freaking made both the Brits chuckle.

After a while, Harrison introduces you to his best mate.

“Tom she’s Y/n, she’s a great doctor and even works for charity.” Tom lets out his hand for a shake. You shook his hand and commented more of asked.

“That’s even more than a brother’s trust thing, by the way, when did you guys meet?” Harrison opened his mouth to answer.

“We met…… Wait! What?!…. I just met you a couple of hours ago, and it seems like I know you from years” he exclaimed with shock.

“Yeah cause you are extremely kind to let me stay here,” you replied smiling through your eyes.

“So if you guys are done appreciating each other, then what are we about to play?” Tom interrupt both of you from staring into each other’s eyes. You noticed that Harrison and you were both were having their gaze fixed on each other. He shook his head, breaking his gaze and rushed to grab a packet of playing cards and UNO.

Why did I feel so good looking into Harrison’s eyes?

All three of you played cards for like 3 hours, talking and giggling to your heart. They told you that they will be leaving on Thursday for London and would love if you joined them, to which you agree only if you pay for your own tickets. It felt so good to have friends. After a while, you finally yawned, and as per the yawning rule or rather magic, they both repeated your actions. All 3 of you dropped the games and got inside the rooms. You were given a really decent guest room to stay.

You went to the bathroom, and uggghhh you realized that you got your periods. You weren’t carrying any pads or tampons with yourself and this wasn’t your house. And of course, you don’t want Harrison’s trousers getting stained with your vaginal blood. Finally, you decided to ask Harrison for the sanitary stuff. Being a doctor, and seeing boys freaking out at the mention of ‘periods’ made you really frustrated. All you wished was that Harrison wasn’t that type of boy. You knocked at his door, but it was already open, so you peeped in, observing that he was asleep, you walked closer to him. You didn’t want to disturb him but there’s no choice.

You started to whisper “Hazzzzzzzzz” by the name Tom was calling him, slightly shaking his body.

He murmured “Okay so now I started dreaming about you y/n.” smiling like an idiot.

“What?!” you blurted out, making him jerked off and wake up.

“Oh sorry I thought I was dreaming of y..” he stops before completing the sentence, he appeared kind of embarrassed

“D-do you need anything, any problem?”

“Umm. Yeah… I just got ummm.. a period and don’t have pads or tampons, so if you have any here?.” He listened to you and rubbed his eyes to elevate the sleepiness.

“Only I live here only, and the only person occasionally coming here is Tom and we both are guys so……..but don’t worry there’s a 24-hour open store in the street, I will bring it from there”. You nodded and he rushed out of the house and in 5 mins came back, handling you a packet of sanitary pads.

“Thank you so much Haz-Harrison”

“It’s fine and you call me Haz” You both shared a smile and greeted each other good night. And you left to your room. You can’t stop thinking about how nice he is with that gorgeous looks. How can anyone not fall for him? What the hell are you thinking about?! You shrugged off these weird thoughts arising in your mind, getting into sleep, only to dream about him, the blue-eyed boy you bumped into today, having no idea that the boy too reciprocated your feelings and felt the same way. Harrison couldn’t stop thinking how sweet and polite you were. How you looked extremely pretty with or without glasses. How his clothes looked so cute on you. And slept with his unconscious mind thinking about you the whole night. Co-incidence? Is it?

•••

The next day the blue-eyed blond boy woke up at 9. He went down to grab some breakfast and to see if you were awake. But he couldn’t find you anywhere rather he found two plates kept covered on the breakfast nook. He removed the cover to see a delicious looking omelette and some bacon on each plate. Then he noticed a note lying near the plates saying:

“Hey Haz,

I need to leave early to check out last night’s patient, and my car too is fine now, so I thought of completing some work and then go to my hotel and start packing up for our Thursday’s flight to London back. Thank you for making me stay last night and for letting me stay in future in your house in London. By the way, I made you and Tom some breakfast. I hope you guys like it. Also, sorry for using the kitchen without your permission, but I didn’t want to wake you up, as you already got to wake up for me in the middle of the night. Once again thank you and I can’t wait to meet you guys again on Thursday in the airport. See you guys…

Love, Y/n…💕 ”

This letter brought an instant smile to his face, but he was kind of sad too cause you left and it’s still 4 days for him to see you again. While he was thinking about the previous night with you, he felt a punch on his shoulder.

“So, what’s up mate?” Tom said removing his hand.

“Nothing, Y/n made breakfast for us.”

“That’s great, where’s she? ”

“She will meet us on Thursday in the airport”

“Oh great, By the way, she’s a great cook” Tom appreciated while munching a big piece of pancake.

•••

It was a long week for you. Of course, it feels longer when you are waiting for something eagerly. You were eager to meet him, not your favourite celebrity but his blue-eyed friend whom you bumped into. It was finally the day to meet him again. You reached the airport eagerly waiting for Haz and Tom to arrive. Just 30 minutes were left for the flight to take off… You were basically not too fashionable, but you couldn’t stop dressing nicely trying to put an 'impression’ in front of Harrison. You were tapping your feet eagerly waiting for the boys to arrive and finally, you saw them.

Harrison saw you standing there waiting. He was seeing you again after almost a week, unable to take his eyes off from you. Tom notices him staring at you. He playfully pokes his elbow into the blond boy’s arm.

“Ouch Tom, what was this for? ”

“Someone’s in love, did the cupid hit yours on your choke hold” he teased him.

“Stop it, Tom, it’s not like what you are talking,” Harrison said softly as he reached you. He knew that you had a celebrity crush on Tom which bothered him in ways he never expected. He instantly wore a fake smile which actually converted into a real smile as soon as you hugged him and greeted. You all greeted each other and headed to the boarding. And soon you boarded the plane. You all had a great time together, it was obvious you are gonna end up being great friends.

After reaching London after that really long journey, we headed to a restaurant as per both of those Brit’s recommendation. Luckily, that place was really nice… It was a great pleasure to travel with these amazing people. We talked a lot, watched some stupid YouTube videos, and even slept. Finally, the flight reached the destination. We head outside the hotel. It was still afternoon in London, and we were quite hungry. So, they took me to one of the restaurants to eat.

“So basically I am thinking as my and Haz’s parents, and Paddy is in France and they are on an exploration trip to see whole of Europe so I guess I, Haz and you shall live in Haz’s house till your place is fully constructed. We all can have a lot of fun.” Tom suggested.

“Yeah yeah, I love this idea,” Haz said fidgeting his fingers. Listening to Harrison’s approval, a slight reddish tint covered your cheeks.

“Yeah, also I guess my house is under construction and Haz-Harrison’s place is near to my hospital, so it really is the best of best options,” you said trying hard not to sound exciting.

“We are friends, you can call me Haz” he smiled, making you smile too. You really felt 100% safe with Tom and Haz. You were really excited to spend time with Harrison ’especially’.

•••

Harrison showed you his home, it was absolutely cosy and felt homy. Haz felt so good to have you at his place, every time you appreciated him, smiled or giggled, he felt his heart-beat increase to dangerous levels.

Time passed away so quickly with Harrison’s company. You and Harrison have already spent three weeks together becoming really close friends. You even be-friended Tom’s brothers Sam and Harry. You can say that you were a part of their gang. Harrison often goes out for shoots, ad films or modelling dropping you to your hospital. You both hung out with Tom and his brothers in the evening most of the times, playing stupid games or doing weird Instagram lives. This weekend you were invited to a pool party at Zendaya’s resort. And it was finally the time to attend this party…

•••

You wore a swimsuit, knowing that almost every girl joining the party would be wearing a hot 2 piece bikini. They all were big actresses or models with a perfect figure, but you were a doctor, so showing too much skin can make you feel embarrassed as what you thought. The little insecurity was travelling your brain. Finally, you dressed up in a pretty floral halter swimsuit. You covered your suit with a cotton shrug so that it would easy to remove it and enjoy the pool party. Haz and Tom were also ready, they must be wearing their swimming pants inside their clothes. You all went to Zendaya’s house. Zendaya warmly welcomed you all. Before going into the pool, you all changed into your swimming outfit. Luckily, you just have to remove you shrug. You prayed that you didn’t look bad in front of other hot celebrities. The decoration around the pool was on fleak. There were barbecues and loads of cocktails. You eagerly waited for everyone at the cocktail counter and soon people started coming out in their swimwear. They all looked even more beautiful in real life than in pictures. You saw Tom, who was looking great like always, but your eyes weren’t searching for him. Your gaze stopped at the blue-eyed blonde. He looked so hot..! An instant, involuntary smile formed on your face, but in the next moment you observed other girls around you, they all looked so perfect with their Godesss like figure.

Constantly seeing celebrities and models with smooth, clear skin and flawless curves walking around you, made you wish desperately for a different body. You looked at your waist, easily spotting some stretch marks, your hands they looked so ugly.

“Why would Haz ever like me?” This question wandered your brain, making you feel weak. You felt like your brain was attacked with tons of insecurities. You felt too weak to face Harrison. Your vision started to get blurry due to the tears forming in your eyes. Your little physical insecurities reached new levels when you saw Harrison talking to another woman, who was absolutely stunning. You also need a dance partner, and the only person you want to hold your waist or look into your eyes was Harrison Osterfield. You couldn’t hold back your tears. You didn’t like anyone seeing you weak, and you felt extremely weak right now. You decided to go inside Zendaya’s house. You weren’t sure if you heard any voice calling your name as you ran inside the house. The kitchen was vacant, so you went inside it, resting your hands on the kitchen counter and your head low, you started pouring down tears. After a few seconds, you heard footsteps approaching towards you, you instantly wiped off your tears, and stood straight facing the wall, your heart still felt heavy and your eyes still wanted to shed more tears. You felt a soft tap on your shoulder. You took a deep sigh turning around, only to see Harrison standing in front of you.

“Y/n, why did your (run?)… ” the blonde couldn’t complete his sentence as he noticed tears marks all over your cheeks. He softly placed his hand on your cheeks, caressing it with his thumb and with a deeply concerned voice he asked “Hey, why are you crying? Tell me if someone misbehaved! I will kill him”

“No it’s not… ” your voice was trembling, your throat felt dry, unable to hold back more tears, you again burst out crying. Unexpectedly the blonde boy hugged you tightly, making your head rest on his bare chest. He brushed your hairs using his fingers while rubbing your back to calm you down. You could hear his heart-beat. Both his actions and heart-beat made you feel safe and calm.

“Y/n why are you crying? Please tell me?” he asked softly breaking the hug as he tucked some lose hair-strands behind your ear.

“Haz….” you wanted to tell him, but your throat was extremely dry making you unable to speak. Seeing you like this, Harrison instantly grabbed a glass of water, handing it to you. You slowly drenched your throat, feeling a lot better.

“Y/n, you can tell me, I was just about to ask for the dance, and you came here running and crying. You are really making me worried” You were shocked to hear that he wanted you for dance.

“Y-you want me for the dance..?”

“Oh yes of course, why don’t I?”

“But I am ugly, and nothing in front of all these beautiful girls who are successful models and have a goddess like figures, what if everyone makes fun of you because of me, what if… ” The blonde boy was extremely shocked to hear all this. He never thought you were any less beautiful than anyother person in the world. After all since, the day he met you, he was unable to stop thinking about you. He interrupted you in the middle.

“What if I tell you that you are the most beautiful person out here, not even out here, actually you are the most beautiful person I have ever met. Not only by your looks but also by our soul. Why would anyone make fun of me because of you? To be honest, if anyone even does that, then it would only because they are jealous of you. Y/n you’re amazing, you look perfect. I really love you for what you are. You can’t just underestimate yourself. You’re perfect.” Listening to his words made your heart flutter. Tears again fell out of your eyes, but they were tears of relief. You hugged him again, his cologne felt so good. After a while, Haz realized that Tom was calling his name.

“Y/n you sniffed on me, I am not even wearing a shirt,” he said sarcastically, giggling at the last, make you giggle too, as you broke the hug. Harrison felt like his whole world lit up, as he saw you smile again. Your laugh was music to his ears. You both didn’t even realize when your gazed got fixed on each other. Your eyes were locked with his and so with him. Harrison flickered his gaze from your eyes to your lips and back to your eyes. He was leaning in towards you, you slowly closed your eyes in response. Both of your faces were just one inch apart when you heard Tom’s voice screaming his best friend’s name.

“Haz Hazzzz. ” You both were stopped in the tracks, as your body jolted and moved back. Tom walked into the kitchen, destroying your moment which actually never happened.

“What are you both doing here? The dance is about to start” he informed.

“Oh yeah, yeah, I was just getting some water” Harrison answered walking away with Tom, giving you a small smile.

(TBC) (IT’S A MINI SERIES, SO THERE ARE A LITTLE MORE THAN USUAL TIME SKIPS. I HOPE IT ISN’T THAT ANNOYING, THX FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT, LOVE YOU) (PART 3 COMING TOMORROW)

Shout-Out-Sunday 2-26-2017

Yo! What’s up everybody! Did you guys like the video intro? I think I might start doing that for every blog. Wild week at the SJC shop, we just dropped a bunch of new instock drums, a few Panic! At The Disco used tour kits (I want both of them), and a few new hand-painted Jay Weinberg snares! You guys have been killing it with the new drum covers, unboxing videos, and shout-outs to SJC! It really means a lot to see everything you guys post for/with SJC.

Check out how rad Bea Leighton’s rig is! We really dig when you show us your kit fully set up the way you like it! Post your rig-rundown in The Shed! We would love to see what you’re working with! http://www.sjcdrums.com/pages/theshed?p=%3F

My dude Steven Garner is out on the road with Megosh! If these guys roll through your area, make sure you catch a show and say whats up to Steven!! Sorry for mis-pronouncing the band name in the video guys! haha my bad.

How about this tour! Pvris will be out with Muse and Thirty Seconds To Mars this summer! Justin Nace rolled through the SJC shop this week and he maaaayyyyybeeeee brought something rad for us to show you soon! Keep an eye out over the next few weeks.

youtube

Check out the new video from Brais Lomba and his band We Ride! I’ve been thinking about re-taking up skating, and this juts reinforces that.

youtube

My dude Charles Haynes is out with Ed Sheeran in the Uk. Did you happen to catch their perfomance at the Brit Awards? I’ve seen Ed Sheeran solo, and he’s awesome, but I want him to tour with this full-band so bad. Keep your fingers crossed that I someday get to post about that in this blog. Also, how rad is stormzy?! (non-SJC news....his new record is so sick.)

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Jackson Ledbetter and his dad Larry. Jackson just ordered a Tour Series kit, so him and Larry drove 8hrs to come check out the shop and pick it up! I love doing shop tours, it’s one of my favorite parts of my job, and these two guys were some of the best! It’s such a great thing to see a Dad so supportive of his sons dreams of drumming, and a son who is just an absolutely great dude. Thanks for being so awesome guys! The 60′s oyster wrapped snare looks fantastic with that Tour Series kit dude!!

youtube

My homie Kyle Thompson hand-painted the SJC shield logo, and I’m all about this color scheme he went with! it’s rad that you guys take SJC and bring it to other parts of your life, not just behind the kit. This is so dope, I hope we make a shirt or a sticker in the future using this blue/red distressed vibe.

Evan Chapman & Square Peg Round Hole announced a tour! I’m so stoked to catch one of these gigs, these dudes are so insanely talented....maybe I’ll make it to two.

I’ll try and post some videos from this tour as they come out, until then, check out Dan’s new kit on our Instagram (@sjcdrums) now!

The worst part of this past week was Modern Baseball announcing a break. I’m so stoked for these guys to get some rest and get everything healthy again, but I’m a little selfishly bummed I wont get to see/hang with them at Boston Calling Festival. Go listen to MOBO. This band not only put out AMAZING records, but they also brought a whole new meaning to taking care of their fans. They put together a hotline to call at their shows if you see/have a problem, and they brought mental health to the fore-front of the music scene. I thank them, and i miss them already. Plus, what other band takes a photo with a Descendents shirt AND a Van Halen shirt right next to each other!

That’s whats up. Cheers. MOBO forever.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 21/02/2020

Top 10

We have a slightly different type of “big week” this week, because whilst there aren’t that many new arrivals, we have a couple of massive new arrivals. The big story this week is the #1, as “No Time to Die”, the theme song for the constantly delayed James Bond film of the same title, by Billie Eilish, debuts at the top spot. It’s Eilish’s sixth UK Top 40 hit, only her fourth top 10 and her first ever #1 on the UK Singles Chart. Congratulations; we’ll talk more about it later.

Of course, because of this, a lot of our top 10 are down a couple spots this week. First of all, “Blinding Lights” by the Weeknd is down a spot to number-two but it could easily regain the #1 next week.

“The Box” is Roddy Ricch is also down one space to number-three.

As is “Before You Go” by Lewis Capaldi at number-four.

Oh, as well as “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa at number-five.

“Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi, on the other hand, is up a spot to number-six, possibly due to the BRITs and their muted impact this week, which I didn’t expect to be so minimal, but it’s probably because it’s shared with next week.

At number-seven, also up one space, is “Roses” by SAINt JHN and remixed by Imanbek. I checked out some of this dude’s other songs and I much prefer them to the original “Roses”, especially one which I can’t mention in polite company, so I’ll just call it “Swoosh”. It’s a good song, check it out.

Interestingly, despite a remix with DaBaby being released, “Life is Good” by Drake, then Future – which I can’t really call it anymore since the remix just makes it Future featuring Drake and DaBaby – is down two spaces to number-eight. Also, I found an unauthorised lo-fi hip hop remix of this song on Spotify and it’s kind of cool, albeit uninspired.

At number-nine, steady from last week, is “everything i wanted” by Billie Eilish.

Finally, “Intentions” by Justin Bieber featuring Quavo reaches the top 10 off of the debut last week thanks to the album release of Changes, which has had an impact not even worthy of an album bomb section, which again is pretty pathetic of Bieber. God knows how many top 10s Bieber has (19 including “Despacito”), but it’s Quavo’s fourth.

Climbers

There literally are none. Well, there are SOME, but none notable enough to make it to this section.

Fallers

On the contrast, there were a handful of pretty notable fallers this week, but nothing that big or unexpected. “Godzilla” by Eminem featuring the late Juice WRLD is down six to #11 and slowly making its way out, “Physical” by Dua Lipa disappointingly falters down five spots to #16, “Lose You to Love Me” by Selena Gomez is back down six spaces to #27, “Play Play” by J Hus featuring Burna Boy phases out down eight to #28, “Ei8ht Mile” by DigDat featuring Aitch is down seven (So close) to #33, and finally, “Wake Up Call” by KSI featuring Trippie Redd flops down 10 spaces to #38.

Dropouts & Returning Entries

Well, there are actually two returning entries due to two different national events: The BRITs live performance and wins for whatever category propelled “Don’t Call Me Up” by Mabel back up to #34. It had previously peaked at #3. My BRITs 2020 coverage is somewhere on this blog, so check that out if you want. “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran is also back at #36 after peaking at #1, because of Valentine’s Day, probably. This song’s been on the charts for like 96 weeks though so, like, stop being in love, please. I’ve already reviewed both of these songs in 2018 AND 2019, “Perfect” made my best list for last year, so no need to re-review them here.

We also have six drop-outs, the first of which is “React” by the Pussycat Dolls, out from #29. Not only can they not grasp the top 20 even, but they can’t even hold onto their lowest lead single’s charting entry for more than seven days. Geez. Otherwise, we have debuts from last week like “London” by M24 and Tion Wayne out from #32 (Which is a good song) and “Suicidal” by YNW Melly out from #37 (Which isn’t). Out from #35 is the last dregs of the album bomb for J Hus, as “Repeat” featuring Koffee exits the chart. Finally, at #39 we have “Memories” fading for Maroon 5, and unfortunately, the poetic “Pee Pee” by M Huncho out from #40.

Outside the top 40 and inside the top 75 are songs that I can see entering the top 40 (or re-entering the top 40) in the foreseeable future, the coming weeks, or perhaps just next week. Not all of them are good. Not all of them are bad. We have “Dior” by the late Pop Smoke at #73, “Death Bed” by Powfu and beabadoobee at #68, “Blueberry Faygo” by Lil Mosey at #65, “City of Angels” by 24kgoldn at #64, “Flex” by JAY1 and Jo Scofield at #60, “Breathe Deeper” by Tame Impala at #59, “Numbers” by A Boogie wit da Hoodie featuring Roddy Ricch, Gunna and London on tha Track at #53, “Stop this Flame” by BRIT Award winner Celeste at #47, and finally, “Falling” by Harry Styles returning to #41 after an emotional (and boring) performance at the BRIT Awards. Now, let’s talk about the new arrivals.

NEW ARRIVALS

#35 – “WINE” – B Young

Produced by Baby Got Beatz

Hey, remember this guy? God, B Young is a flashback to our first year on this show, where I actually did a full review mocking his song “Jumanji”, which to this day is still ridiculous, but after hearing so much Afroswing that sounds exactly the same, it almost doesn’t process to me when listening to it how bad it sounded in 2018. This is his third UK Top 40 hit and first since that year, and I don’t think anyone can beat the charming inflections and nonsensical lyrics from that classic, to be honest. I’m looking through the lyrics and I don’t see any fling-flinging of the pantieeeeeeeeees oh, so I’m immensely disappointed. He seemingly took a year off of music last year, only releasing one song, “Gucci Demon”, which missed the UK Top 40 (And is pretty decent actually, albeit awfully mixed), so maybe he’s taken a break to hone his craft. Yeah, I’m kidding, but his singing has gotten better... yeah, no, this is just boring, with a generic, non-descript guitar beat and lyrics just as inoffensive... wait, hold on, maybe not as inoffensive as I thought. In one of the verses he says he will film he and his girlfriend having sex on a GoPro, and then in another he says he’ll dry her in sheepskin after a shower and then “Just Eat” her. God, this is just trashy and pathetically so. It’s not even funny this time, so what value does this have at all?

#29 – “Forever” – Justin Bieber featuring Post Malone and Clever

Produced by Poo Bear and HARV

Last year, I believe it was March, the late Juice WRLD released his sophomore album, Death Race for Love, and somehow, in an album that consisted of songs containing lyrics such as “baby, lookie-lookie, I’mma eat you like some studio cookies”, “I don’t give a shit, I don’t give a Hoover Dam”, “now I’m running from your love, I’m not fast so I’m making it worse” (Amazing song, by the way), and my personal favourite, “I took a piss in your dead homie grave, let’s get it”, the most embarrassing performance was probably from Clever, an unknown and untalented emo-rap singer who appeared on “Ring Ring” with one of many unlistenable moments on that album. I figured this was just one of Juice’s friends and I’d never see or hear from him again. Now this gnarly dude has his first UK Top 40 hit and a feature on massive global popstar Justin Bieber’s album, alongside also one of the most famous men of the past ten years, Post Malone, who is arguably just as big as Bieber right now, and also increasingly more talented than both of these guys. Post and Bieber have had a couple songs together, one of which leaked and had Kanye in it, and was actually good, and the other was “Deja Vu”, and that one is actually pretty good as well. Somehow, this one misses the mark, probably because Clever makes me want to stab innocent civilians and Bieber has been increasingly uninteresting during this album cycle. Post Malone exists. I wish the one with Lil Dicky charted, then I could talk about an interesting news story without actually reviewing the song, as I’ve tried to do for all of the other Bieber songs this year. Let’s just to put it this way: If I were to make Changes for my wife, and publicise that fact, I would end up having to explain “Yummy (Country Remix feat. Florida Georgia Line)” to a marriage counsellor... and I’ve already had to explain that to my therapist.

Oh, yeah, and if you want another lyric from that Juice WRLD record: “I can change anything, got them Obama eyes”. What?

#20 – “To Die For” – Sam Smith

Produced by Stargate and Jimmy Napes

It’s a Sam Smith piano ballad. Next.

#1 – “No Time to Die” – Billie Eilish

Produced by FINNEAS (her brother) and Stephen Lipson

With every James Bond film comes a James Bond song, this one being performed by the youngest ever Bond singer, with Eilish obviously being eighteen. The Bond song always performs pretty well as the film is a blockbuster spy action thriller whatever the hell, and the song accompanies the movie to drive up some hype. I don’t care about James Bond as a franchise at all, and I haven’t even tried to watch one in full, so I apologise if I don’t get a part of this song, even though most Bond themes are actually completely unrelated to their respective film, even if this one is named after No Time to Die which is out this Spring. Eilish’s collaboration with Hans Zimmer is the 22nd Bond theme to get to the UK Top 40, the 14th to reach the top 10, and the second to peak at #1, after 2015’s “Writing on the Wall” by Sam Smith from Spectre reached the top spot. Bond themes have been recorded by people like Adele, Jack White, Madonna, Duran Duran, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Tina Turner, the list goes on, but will Eilish’s single compete with the best?

Well, yeah, since it’s the first one I’ve liked since 2002 (that was Madonna’s “Die Another Day”, by the way). It’s also possibly the first Bond theme I’ve loved, as this is actually a pretty incredible song, with an eerie piano melody that looms above the mix, which is near perfect by the way, and Eilish’s brilliant performance, with vocals that are somewhat understated and subtle at first, at some times even drowned out slightly by the bursts of horns and strings. The chorus, especially when that first guitar riff hits, is just so cathartic, and Eilish, although she does reflect consistent themes of Bond songs (“Fool me once, fool me twice”), isn’t as melodramatic as “Skyfall” or even trying to soundtrack a spy film, instead this is a bitter, bitter heartbreak that reflects how sick she is of the manipulation she has had to endure during the relationship, and the crashing cymbals, Hans Zimmer’s fantastically conducted orchestra, the borderline belting in the final chorus reflecting a climax of angst before the outro, where she practically whispers over some cute chords, to demonstrate how she has just given up at this point. There are so many subtleties in this production it would be increasingly difficult to list everything I adore about FINNEAS’ contributions here, including the spy guitar, airy flutes, and my personal favourite addition, the guitar licks from Johnny Marr of the Smiths, which just sound great. Just listen to the song if you somehow haven’t; it’s the best song I’ve seen chart in weeks if not months, just overwhelmingly great.

Conclusion

Yeah, Best of the Week is obviously going to Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die”, with Worst of the Week going to the Biebs, Post Malone and Clever for whatever “Forever” is. Follow me on Twitter, I suppose, and bye.

Rites of Passage

youtube

Drew - you didn’t deserve what you got Jordan - Matt I love you so much I wish this game wasn't ugly and you weren't first boot <3 Logan - I never got to play with you, but I hope you’re doing lovely!

Drew - The only ghostie to die when we were still ghosties, the game never even knew you existed. RIP Taylor….. <3 Emma and Salem Jordan - idk you Logan - I hope you’re having a great day, sorry we never got the chance to play! Steven - an okay team member but didn't really do much to stand out

Drew - ngl I was glad you weren’t in the game anymore after Aegean, playing with you is a trip, but I’m sorry for whatever was going on in your life that you couldn’t commit yourself to this game Jordan - I was sad you left but you didn't even vote so there isn't much I could have done to save you Logan - Dani, you my favorite cracked child. I loved playing with you, I’m sorry it ended homie. Steven - fun while they lasted

Drew - idk you Jordan - idk you Logan - I also never got to play with you, but obligatory have a great day!

Drew - KING OF AEGEAN SEA we could’ve secretly raised hell huh, no one would’ve seen us coming Jordan - idk you Logan - I never got to play with you but I love you my sweet son.

Drew - Sorry you went from F13 to F19 and then got voted out, that must have been a rough life to get a worse placement than the number of people you thought were in the season Jordan - you are so sweet and funny just not the most active Logan - YOU WILL FIND YOUR SHEBREW, HAPPY NEW YEAR Steven - I wish I got to know you more

Drew - the winner of the season and we all know it Jordan - ugh I really wish you would have stuck through this game because I really wanted to work with you and make it to the end with you love you queen

Logan - I hope you’re doing fabulous lovely, and I hope the reason you felt you had to go has resolved or is doing better. You deserve the world, hun. Steven - you were a fun tribe member to have around

Drew - Listen I’m aware that you will probably never see this but I’m about to get super emotional so I’m sorry to everyone else who has to read this. Getting to play a season with you two years after Malaysia, when I thought you’d never come back to the community, and seeing you a little in Hosts, and then through the entirety of Circle, and finally getting to go through a little of what we went through here in Sinnoh was a huge deal to me and felt like some closure I didn’t know I wanted from that era of my org life. I fully support your reasons for leaving this game, and from the little I see from your snap it looks like it was the right decision for you, but I broke down and cried when you told me because I thought we’d have more time. This game was not ready for the both of us, and if you’d stayed??? Babe I’ve managed to raise some hell in this game but together we would have had this whole place wrapped up like a puppet show on strings. These kids are lucky they never had to see what we could pull off….I love you, kid. Jordan - I'm sorry you had to quit I hope your life is going ok <3 Logan - I never got to meet you, but I’ve heard such amazing things. I hope you’re feeling okay <3 Steven - I wish you could've stayed in longer

Drew - The real victim of the aforementioned “Things Scott And I Can Pull Off” Jordan - who dat Logan - Ah my love, I hope you’re also doing okay, sorry you had to go. Steven - There can only be one Brit XD

Drew - BABEEEEEEEEEEE you dun goofed huh, I really did everything I could to set us both up to make merge and it didn’t work out and I’m crushed for that, but we’ll always have the food court ;) Getting to meet you while this game was still happening was something special <3 GOOD LUCK IN ISLA DE LAS MUNECAS, I'll keep the Jacob Candle™ lit for you!!! Jordan -

using my super idol Logan - AH IT WAS SO GOOD WHILE IT LASTED. I hope you’re doing swell! Steven - talked to me a lot during the game and I thank him for that

Drew - It always ends up being you dying a split second before merge in games we play together these days...I’m sorry you died in that way and partially by my hand, but you don’t come for a ghostie!!! I tried to warn y’all...much like with Scott, we hadn’t seen as much of each other as I’d have liked since Malaysia, so getting to reconnect with you through these games and Andalucia has been really important to me. Jordan - I like to think we boned a bit in this game even though you are one of my best friends.

Logan - You were robbed, I’m sorry that you had to go. We were so good together and I’m glad this game was better than the last.

Drew - (1/2) I’m eulogizing you and Eric together because you were both my people and I tried to protect you and I failed you both. We tried to prepare ourselves for what was gonna come next, but...Between my status coming into merge, the fact that it was the merge vote, and a double vote with so many people on top of that, …... Jordan - we never talk in games so idk you that well Logan - Oh my wild cracked ass love. I love your kittens and I love YOU! Steven - you did so well to stay in as long as you did

Drew - (2/2) I was too scattered to fight for what I wanted, and I let the game happen to me instead of imposing myself and my will on the game. And because of it, I lost you both, my two ghosties, just as I finally got to see you again. Y’all were my turning point in the game, when I decided that for better or worse, I was not gonna play scared for the rest of the season. I’m sorry it happened a round too late. Jordan - I was shook when you left. I didn't expect that to happen at all but we didn't talk so I guess it worked out for me Logan - Congrats on jury!! I hope this game was fun for you, and I hope it ends well for you too. Hope your day is great. Steven - was strong and helped us ghosties

Drew - Highkey the person I was most scared of, your conversation style throws me off my game. There’s a directness and a bite to it that will serve you so well in these games. I don’t meet all that many people who are new to me in games anymore, and this was our first game together, even though we knew each other briefly before that, so you were probably my biggest delight. Jordan - easy the hardest decision I had to make this whole game. Backstabbing you was a big regret but I knew it needed to happen if I wanted a chance Logan - BIG HEART EMOJI!! You were Robbed tm Steven - you always checked in on me when I was asleep XD

Drew - Eye for an eye, bitch!!! Our conversation the day you left when you knew you were leaving and knew it was because I was killing you? One of the highlights of the season, Chicago snapchat included. Drewbert (Andalucia/Normandy Host) [1:39:44AM]: me @ Zach out of games: I LOVE THIS PERSON, BEST FRAND EVER 12/10 WOULD FRIEND AGAIN me @ Zach in games: okay but he so sketchy thooooooooo me after I inevitably kill Zach or he inevitably kills me: wow but we could've done so much damage together whew Jordan - daddy voting me out <3 Logan - For once, you died for me. Are we even now? I love you.

Drew - MY BABY BOY we always end up here on opposite sides of the line and I can’t wait to see what kind of things you said about me in your confessionals this time <3 You were the last of the trio I wasn’t working with so it was the last of the “easy” choices I had to make but it still lowkey sucked. Pulling off a 4-3-2 though??? Cool. Jordan - I'm sorry the ugliest got you. Fuck drew honestly I enjoyed talking to you when we finally got to be on the same tribe and I was sad when you left Logan - my sweet son. You are so good, you’re so pure, and I’m sorry we had to stop being together in this game. You are fabulous.

Drew - (1/2) BILLY my Johto ride-or-die and one of the people I talk to most without a game attached because there’s something really comforting about talking to you. I’m combining you and Gaston for the purposes of this because it broke pieces of me to write both of your names down. I didn’t do either vote until the last five minutes, which I’m sure Jay has loved from me, but the surety that it was the right move for the numbers to keep all of the options and failsafes I needed but it…... Jordan - you weren't very active in this season and keeping you around didn't feel fair to the people who wanted to play Logan - From the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry. Steven - you got slammed by those you thought of trusting

Drew - (2/2) didn’t make it any easier to do. Gaston especially, I was so shocked when it turned out to be you, I only knew I needed someone from that trio to leave but I thought it would be Mitch, I never dreamed they’d flip onto you after two times of failing to get him out. I’m sorry that in the two times we’ve played together recently, I haven’t been the ally you deserve. Jordan - I honestly loved talking to you the one time we actually spoke bgdjhfvdjhbnfdvij I think you were a big threat to me though. Logan - I LOVED PLAYING WITH YOU AND GETTING TO KNOW YOU! You are so fun, and while your sleeping schedule is wack, it was awesome chatting. Live it up! Steven - There's no one like Gaston

Drew - After more than a year and a half of knowing each other, I’m running out of amazing things to say about you. As an adversary, I knew what had to be done as soon as Wings Over Water was announced as the comp, but I went into work an hour early and played through my lunch break to try and make it so I could keep you one more round. You’ll always be best friend material. Jordan - you know I adore you and that I didn't want to have to vote you out but it had to happen and I didn't think I had a shot in hell against you Logan - I’m sorry. I loved working with you, you’re truly an amazing ally and an amazing person to be around. You own the pun king crown. Steven - You were a power player who got shut down

Drew - I have no words. I love you and while this is the ending I’d been planning for some time now, I wish so much that it had come under different circumstances. I’ll always be around if you ever want to talk but I understand that if that happens, it will take time. I’m sorry. Jordan - I'm honestly sorry I made you feel like shit as you left and I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I know I backstab you a lot in these games but just know I never mean to hurt your feelings because I do consider you a friend.

Logan - YOU DID SO GOOD. You played this game so hard, and I truly believe you would have won had you made it to the end. I’m so proud of you I can’t even speak to it. Steven - you tried so hard and got so far. But in the end. It didn't even matter

Drew - Steven the first time we played together was almost a year and a half ago and we didn't get to see much of each other. I'm always gonna be grateful we got a chance to try again and see as much as we did together, after spending so much time with the Gorlleys. I don't know if this was your first Survivor since Atlantis, but I hope you surprised and impressed yourself with how far you were able to make it. It was a true delight to work with you. Jordan - Arcy you are jays boyfriend so I support you even though we never talked Logan - Im love u ur such a good bean
