kind of obsessed with the characterization of jayce and viktor as fundamentally good people who will also go absolutely batshit insane if you separate them because theyre also ridiculously codependent to a degree that is concerning for everybody else's wellbeing. they were literally away from each other for a couple of months and almost ended the entire world

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

Oh come on lady, you can't deny a man his gaycation

I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm

choirs of angels sing my praises for I have finally worked out a fast and clean way to draw foliage that doesn't look like ass or take one million years

things spotify needs to do for the next wrapped to redeem themselves

not use ai.

top albums list

bring back our cities map. I would love to hear that I listen to the same music as people in utah ok?

take each top song of the week and make that a 52 song playlist (or however many weeks it is before they stop counting stats)

genres???

top genres that are normal. I don't care if "pop" "rap" "folk" are basic terms. I would rather have that than "sunrise granola van life christian" ???

genres by month but using those wheel things they did with artists last year (they should bring that back too but—). did the summer see a rise and fall in country music? was winter a rise and fall of folk?

what was the first song you listened to this year. what time of jan 1 did you play it on

what date did you play your first Christmas/holiday music on

we're halfway through this decade! how has your taste changed in the last 6 years (related: take the top 10 songs from 2020-2025 and put them into one playlist) (they HAVE to do something with this in 2029 or I swear—)

"you listened to 45,000 minutes of music this year" great! follow it with "that's 31 straight days of music!" make me horrified that I spent an entire month of my year just listening to music

better visual design. this was so tech-y. so odd. even last year was those pixel things. make it cute, fun, whimsy. can genres determine colors people get more in their panels. shapes for each genre, artist, whatever. etc etc. give the designers more freedom

the personality thing they used to do. that was fun. personal. had some flair. makes people identify with A Thing and then with other people that are The Same As Me. which is like #1 in marketing. this is not a hard science

wrapped was lowkey lame asf this year. where was my map telling me I listened to the same shit as randos in vermont? where was my personality quiz telling me I'm a vampire? where were my top genres? or at least my top genres that are actually recognizable genres?

[pepperuni]

im genuinely convinced that they used ai for the monthly thing on spotify wrapped. what do you mean may was my "coastal grandmother ukulele oldies" phase. august was "pink pilates princess strut pop??" no one would say that september was my "sweater weather permanent wave indie" moment. no way we waited so long for this. multiple people and i also noticed that it took a few seconds longer than usual to load, maybe im just impatient but i wouldnt be surprised if that was ai preparing like all of it as i clicked through. spotify has been using a lot of ai lately with the playlist making, dj, playlist cover designer and now whatever this ai podcast thing is.

i had to hide him so i didn’t scare a repair man
