this is such a fresh, unique and often really beautiful soundtrack/score written for the netflix TV series THE BASTARD SON & THE DEVIL HIMSELF—a sick af, queer af, modern witch horror adventure that has the idea of finding yourself and true love at its core—re-imagined somewhat but based on the half bad book trilogy by author sally green.
The way the music fades out and freezes when the kiss happens and then comes back lighter and clearer when Buck opens his eyes… 911 sound team I’m kissing you on the mouth
I just find it hilarious and very telling that Loki and Sylvie’s ‘romantic love themes’ are called “Pep Talk” and “Stop” and Loki and Mobius’ theme is literally called “Lokius.”
i'm not blaming anyone because there's literally no way you could know but whenever people say "i'm shocked you aren't already a fan of/aware of this pop culture thing" it always makes me a bit sad because. yeah i guess i probably would have been if i'd been allowed to have interests and casual hobbies that weren't constantly scrutinized and only deemed acceptable if they contributed towards my future academic development as a kid. maybe if i'd been allowed to use a computer or phone without my parents constantly breathing down my neck about what i was using them for and punishing me and further restricting my access to the internet if they caught me seeking out any kind of social or recreational interaction there that wasn't pre-approved and regularly checked to ensure i wasn't saying or doing anything that didn't suit their traditional conservative nuclear family sensibilities (or just, like, having fun in a way they couldn't understand tbh). maybe i would have been able to just like. enjoy things. maybe i would have had friends.
Honestly would absolutely love it if the Percy Jackson show incorporated some of the songs from the Percy Jackson Musical into their instrumentals. Imagine how awesome that'd be.
I think when we talk about treating Taylor (or any celeb) as a real human, the focus is usually on remembering they have feelings and insecurities and bad days too. But sometimes I think this fandom in particular needs a reminder that Taylor being human means she is not a god. She doesn’t know everything or see everything or have control over every aspect of everything that anyone in her orbit does. She should definitely be held accountable for things she has control over, but a lot of folks come up with theories that hinge on her knowing obscure facts or being caught up on specific fandom discourse or being able to control what other artists/celebrities do or wear, and then get frustrated and confused when that doesn’t end up being the case. She’s very smart and very savvy, but she really is just a human woman doing her best and maybe it’s not totally humanizing to expect complete omniscience from her.
