a lemon demon song for every conceivable human emotion:

you are a literal bear, your lady friend with awesome hair is freezing somewhere in the snow, and you still can’t find that goddamned mushroom man

you just can’t remember the exact details of the plot of Jaws but this is probably close enough right? yeah

you really super feel like stalking and confessing your love to renowned cartoonist and artist Bill Watterson 

you are very chaotic neutral and would very much like a mask of your own face please and thank you

the wild late-night party from next door has spilled over into your house, and you’ve just noticed that everybody may or may not be dead, including you

old godzilla is hopping around tokyo city like a big playground

everything is slowly collapsing around you in every possible way but fuck that actually because everything’s FINE

life is absurdity. someone’s just fucked up your sundial and there might be a god on your back

there are two oversized american motor vehicles engaging in passionate intercourse very close to you, and it is beautiful

you are eight, and have just watched a violent, pyrotechnic-filled b-movie featuring a macho hero dude who walks away from explosions. you know exactly where to find dynamite right now. there is no possible way that this plan could work out badly

you really fucking love mowing the lawn

the truth is shrouded in mystery and your literal shadow has just invited you to a metaphor-filled tea party

you have fallen in love with your amnesia

that wig you saw in your dreams last night does not exist in real life. this makes you very very sad.

you are not perfect and this is okay, because your lover has just torn their eyes out and filled them to the brim with mercury, and also nobody’s ever perfect

you have seasonal affective disorder and it is winter. this is not going to stop you from going absolutely hogwild to a bop of a song

everyone you know is angry. your daughter is angry. you are so very angry. the world is angry. let’s all turn into tigers

BRODYQUEST

i love letterboxd because there are so many lists that cater to very specific, yet somehow universal moods. here are my favorites:

120 lesbian films to watch before saying all lesbian cinema is the same

the absolute beauty in everyday’s mundanity

add spice to your romance

autumnal harvest - movies that give you that warm feeling of fall and its surroundings

befriending the lyrical loneliness…

candy cinema

chaos, loneliness, madness, and desapair in the apathetic world of capitalism

crises of childhood

distinctive films that fill the void when you’re lonely or completely destroy you when you’re happy

film recs: female character studies

films that are kind

girlhood

horror as a vehicle

melancholy as a breathtaking aesthetic emotion

movies where female friendships are the scariest concept on earth

“nothing happens” yeah but the vibes

quiet little female character studies

quietly brilliant

snuggly wuggly flicks for anxiety driven chicks

soft horror

two lost souls find comfort

what we talk about when we talk about love

[music-in-my-soul24]

Well, now that you’ve got your gun

It’s much harder now the police have come

Now I’ll shoot him if it’s what you ask

But if you just take off your mask

You find out everything’s gone wrong.

[music-in-my-soul24]

I know people use phrases like “he’s changing the game” and “nobody’s doing it like him” a lot for musicians, but I don’t think this is an exaggeration at all when talking about Lil Nas X. 

When I first saw the music video for Montero (Call Me By Your Name), I just kept thinking about how I had never seen a music video like it, ESPECIALLY from such a well-known artist. I’ve seen plenty of videos where a man is being sexy, but never in the way that Lil Nas X does it in that video. He sings about riding dick while giving a lap dance. I’m sure there are so many music videos where a male singer does this, but I’ve never seen them because gay men who express their sexuality in that way are usually prevented from becoming household names.

And he is getting a lot of pushback for it. People are saying that he’s trying to indoctrinate children, that he’s pushing an agenda, that he’s part of the ruination of society. Gay men are seen as sex-crazy predators, and so are androgynous men. For him to make this video expressing himself and his sexuality in the way HE wanted to, knowing how people would take it, especially as a black man, and then attaching his real name to it?

It’s trending at #1 on youtube and there’s been a huge positive response to it, but he’s risking a lot by releasing this video. The whole theme of the video is religious persecution, and we’re seeing that exact thing happen to him in real time. He’s being called a sinner, he’s being told he’s going to hell, he’s being told that god doesn’t love him. 

This song and video are resonating with SO MANY people. People who grew up with a religion that teaches that people like them are wrong, with parents who seek to destroy what they do not understand,  who have had a closeted partner who only told them they loved them in private, who told themselves that they would never come out to anyone, with people who have struggled with internalized homophobia. 

Since the world already has their eyes on Lil Nas X, he’s decided to represent himself the way he wants to and tell the stories he wants to tell. From this video to wearing a bright pink leather harness on the red carpet to doing drag on halloween, he is showing everyone that he is not ashamed of who he is and he’s willing to put himself and his career at risk to be that person. By doing this, he’s showing others that people like him exist and it’s ok and it’s good.

Lil Nas X is changing the game. His success will open doors for more artists like him. I believe he’s going to help change the public perception of what hip-hop can be, and maybe even what a man can be.

help, i think i’m falling in love- upbeat, excited songs for when your crush texts you back or you’ve just had your first kiss

songs that sound like the falling point of a movie- you know that scene in a movie where the protagonist is running away from their crime or realising the true reality of what they have done? these songs feel like that drowning feeling 

lost in the woods- for those days when you just want to decompose into moss and live among the toads

did donna tartt make this?- a modern dark academia playlist to send you straight into an ancient boarding school with blood stained hands and questionable romances 

i’m sorry to say but it’s 2020- all the nostalgic songs from before 2000, cause don’t we all think we belong in a different decade?

songs to make you feel like you’re in an indie movie- we all think we’re the main character in a coming of age film, this playlist indulges that

all the best songs- my top 50 songs that i recommend to people, it’s always 50 and i swap them out when things are replaced 

instrumental music probably for revision or just a pretentious day- want to feel like you’re strolling the ancient corridors of a boarding school with the sound of a ball taking place next door? this is for you, or if you just like instrumental music for studying 

the indie stuff- the perfect collection of indie songs, ranging from indie rock to bedroom pop, this playlist has it all

musicals for days- a massive playlist of all the musical bops for when you want to listen to musicals but don’t want to pick a specific musical (i’ve said musical too much)

During the pandemic, I decide to use the minutes roping soap on and through my fingers to memorize poetry. I, lover of love and love poems, copy “Object Permanence” from Nicole Sealey’s Ordinary Beast onto scrap paper. On my bathroom mirror, I tape it left of my sightline. While washing dishes, discovering a line’s cadence brings joy. Walking room from room, hearing the words’ heartbeats, space breathing, uplifts me. By focusing on couplet by couplet, my memory succeeds.

A Cottage in a Clearing in the Woods

Playlist Imagine Series

We live together in a small cottage Ireland. We make breakfast in the early morning with homemade jam and pancakes, while listening to music. The sun shines through the curtains and our two cats are napping on the windowsill. We spend the morning in our garden or working, and in the afternoon we lie down on the grass reading and painting until sunset.

Aesthetic:

The sunshine filtering through the room, the specks of dust in the air, the sound of the bustling small world of animals and insects that populates the woods, flowers and bees, that reviving smell of petrichor that stays in the air after a long rainstorm, the sweet chime of free-spirited laughing, the warmth of sunrays on your skin, the chirping of birds at sunrise and the sound of the cicadas on a hot summer afternoon, the rustling of the wind caressing the trees.

Playlist:

Bloom by The Paper Kites

La Lune by Billie Marten

Wasteland, Baby! by Hozier

Call Me by 90sFlav

To Be Alone With You by Sufjan Stevens

Cherry Wine by Hozier

Hearthside by Plastic Patina

Me: yes, I like this artist
