Wonder Girls - Reboot

So traditionally, I listen to the album, then decide which songs to add to my playlist after I’m done. This time around I figured I’d add songs as I go, so I don’t forget any of them later on. I ended up adding 10 out of 12 to my main playlist. So I did in fact add the remaining two to my playlist just to make sure.

It’s hard not to compare this album to Pink Tape for me, but I don’t actually think it’s all that similar? It did have a Toy moment in Oppa, but I think it stuck to its sound and its genre a lot more than Pink Tape does. It explores a lot within that sound and genre though; I didn’t get bored at all, which is good for a 12 song album. I also didn’t totally understand what to make of a lot of the songs. Like, they were Good, but I feel like I didn’t Get them. I’ll have to go back and relisten to a lot of these before I feel like I can have a solid opinion about them.

A couple of 9’s, several 8’s, but no 10’s. Nothing did that for me; I keep saying that Oppa had a “Toy moment”, which it did, but the positioning in the album and the type of song that it was made it surprisingly predictable. Like, when it happened, I didn’t freak out; I was like “oh yeah, I guess it’s about time for this isn’t it?” Plus the change was like, from one type of hip hop to another type of hip hop, as opposed to whatever Toy does with its rap rock to dubstep. The 9’s were both really good, but again, they didn’t do that for me. Average score of 7.8 which … maybe a bit low? I’d round up to an 8 but it’s close enough that I’ll let the literal average do the talking. I think I will definitely grow to enjoy this album more though; there’s a Lot here to learn to appreciate, and a first listen can only do so much.

- Baby Don’t Play

Welp this sure was intended to be listened to with stereo audio

Yeah this definitely Feels 80’s

Dude the synths in the chorus here

Are they strings? Or just string-inspired?

Haha I’m reminded of Apink’s What A Boy Wants for some reason in this post-chorus

Back to distorted stereo vocals I guess

Yeahh I’m not a fan of that kind of alternating from side to side thing

It feels … kinda tacky to me?

7/10, nice solid start, pretty good

Candle (feat. Paloalto)

Who’s Paloalto I wonder?

Yep, we are still 80’s

Oh is this supposed to be a sexy song?

I don’t think 80’s music will Ever feel sexy to me

Mkay, we’re rapping now

The rapping definitely doesn’t feel 80’s in this context

Yeah I dunno about the rapping yet. It’s fine but I don’t know if I like it

That said I do think I’ll be adding this song to my playlist, it’s very unique

Here he is

(who is he again?)

I don’t think he added too much but it was alright

7/10 but I suspect I may grow to like it more

I Feel You

Jay Whay Pee!

And the Wonder Girls! We’re Back!

Lmao

This isn’t the title track is it?

Oh it is! Why doesn’t it have the most listens then?

I did intend to not watch the MV regardless, on average I think I can analyze songs better when I don’t see the MV

Speaking of analyzing the songs, this song is kinda crazy

Like the synth chime thing with the melody is fun

I think I like this actually?

8/10

Rewind

Okay, this is the one with the most streams on Spotify. Plus the name makes it sound like it should be the title track

This feels suspiciously like a ballad

The ooh’s are cute

Mkay, not a true ballad

I don’t know how I’m supposed to be feeling though

Dude those string hits in the bridge are Kinda annoying imo

Oh wait there’s a rap section?

I really have no idea how to feel about this song

7/10 I guess?

Loved

Kind of a chip bass

Opening with a rap

Mkay and now we’re singing

The background synth here is super nice

The “you know / I know / we know” is really cool

Mmmm yeah, I like this

The bridge is kinda … underwhelming? I think I want more here

Yeah I guess it builds a bit

The vocals in the last chorus are Excellent tho

8/10

John Doe

Sparkles!!

Wowowooowooooowowowommmp

And now we forget about both of those

Oh ok we get the sparkles back

Haha the horn section, that’s nice

Hey wait, who’s their rapper? Like what instrument does she play live?

And likewise, who’s the drummer?

More sparkles!!

So many of these songs feel like, somewhere between a 7 and an 8

8/10

One Black Night

Cute drums

80’s noir or something? This is an interesting sound

The chorus is Soaring though

Mmmm the “you and I” is so good

Yeahhh and then that high synth up there, that’s pretty

Post-chorus rap, let’s go

“Getting dark dirty naughty” oml

Did they just meow??

No lol that’s a synth

This is so funny though

Like I don’t know what to make of this song, but in a good way

9/10 I guess??

Back

Woah, all metallic ig

And now we’re all hip hoppy

And this is like, proper 80’s hip hop

Yes I understand how to spell back thanks

You’re only 24, this late into your career? Jeez

Actually fair enough, I know a couple of them were 14 at debut

Certainly Hyuna was anyway

“I’m not a doll” has to be one of the most cliched cliches in kpop

I’m so curious what the Korean is bc the chorus is So generic

Maybe that’s intentional though?

Bruh the bell out here like

Okay the vocals at the end are really nice, fair play

Oh apparently this is the least listened-to song on the album

7/10, I do not know what to make of this song

OPPA

…huh?

The hits, whatever they are, feel like firecrackers

The english though is So generic omg

This is another song that I just don’t know how to feel about

It’s enjoyable to listen to but like … what??

I heard ‘molla’, that’s like my favorite Korean word or something

Yeah the english is like, almost painful to listen to omg

Oh okay

Nmixx moment

This 100% elevates the song

Wait okay hold on what?

I guess that was supposed to be the Toy moment of this album then?

8/10 ?????

Faded Love

Love this soundscape

Mmmmm and here’s the beat, god man this synth is So good

If you asked me to grade this set of sounds then it would get an A+

Dude the vocals wait what

Da da da da da da… mmmm

I love the strings

Both the violins and the guitar

This bass is having wAY too much fun

Was that a ritardando for a second there?

9/10, this was purely enjoyable to listen to

GONE

It’s kind of amazing that Twice debuted in the same year as this album

Like how Red Velvet are older than 4 Walls, it just feels kind of Wrong for some reason

Oh as far as this song goes, this is Gamer

The synth runs are fun

Pretty vocals

You can tell I’m mentally fried by this point though by how little I’m trying

8/10

Remember

The second least listened-to song on the album

Feels kinda Disney in the intro

Oh no

That “clink”

I’d know that clink anywhere

That’s the slow jam clink

Yep haha, the drum groove, the vocals, the background music

But y’know what? They definitely earned it, both in this album itself and in terms of their career as a whole

I really like the “Baby I’ll always remember your love” lines, those are sweet

Yeah, we did in fact earn this. If the whole album was this then I’d hate it, but in context it actually fits so well

8/10

[poltergeist-coffee]

IT'S PLAYING INFAME(brazilian song by supercombo+kamaitachi) ON PAC'S LIVE YEAAAH He's a bit traumatized, just a tiny bit And it's raining (Thank you about the color thing lol) Cephea cephea, the jellyfish of the bissexuals There is aways a character that is associated as the sun in every media Qforever is one of them(pspsps fellow insaneduo enjoyer, you know, right? You know, the sun and the moon- one of the qcellbit's hc that exists is that he is a vampire, he really goes with that vibe of gothic emo- y'know that I'm trying to say) And oh gosh BRAZILIAN ALERT PAC ENTERED THE TRAIN STATION That's my streamer AND IT'S PLAYING MICHAEL JACKSON

And the chat is going insane, they have so much trust issues with bbh And Pac will be a vampire for hallowen:D He's telling bbh and he just "you know what's vampire are known for, right?" "Drinking blood?" "Yeah" "I'm not a big fan of blood, I prefer meat"

Most normal conversation bettwen them They are getting along

"Homo-sapian version of whiter bear" -Pac 2023

Uh... Bbh is planning a vacation to Pac? Okay, chat is freaking out From Bbh's pov, Pac is a cute lil guy, from Pac's pov bbh is very sus Someone on the chat just asked "Why is Bad so suspect with everyone but cell?" Good question, next I went to Etoiles' live for a single second and there's was a chaos happening Ofc he was fighting And is playing metal(or rock? I don't really know the difference, but I looked it up and is To Be Loved by Papa Roach, I liked it) I don't undertand a word he's saying but this will be what will be playing on my background That man has so many arrows on him

(Also, I need you at some point to look on google "hmmm vrido" I dunno, it's just funny) AND NOW IS PLAYING ENEMY BY IMAGINE DRAGON YEAAH

Alright, jellyfish:D I think they are the Pacific Sea Nettle(Chrysaora fuscescens) because I think the antlantic ones are more transparent. The bell is yellowish or reddish-brown with a darker margin. The bell diameter can be up to 30 cm (1 ft) with oral arms reaching as long as 1 m (3.3 ft). Oral arms can reach 3.6-4.6 m (12-15 ft). However, ton average, the sea nettles are are usually smaller. But here's a fun fact about the name, the genus name of sea nettle jellies, Chrysaora, comes from Greek mythology. Chrysaor, reportedly a giant, was the son of Poseidon and Medusa. His name translates as ‘golden falchion’. A falchion was a commonly used curved fighting sword that could cut through armor, a reference to the stinging ability of these jellies.

I think I saw other jellyfish but I can't find it right now I will see if I can find any other later - Plate anon

me giggling and kicking my feet thinking about qforever and qcellbit being sun and moon coded they're so sun and moon i love everything about them im going to throw them out the window affectionetly

tbh chat is valid for having trust issues with qbbh u-u he hasn't been very nice to pac so.....

PAC BEING A VAMPIRE FOR HALLOWEEN WOULD BE SO CUTE :"DD my art of him and forever with vampire pac is so canon now lets goooooo (ignore that forever is still missing yahooooooo) (I HEARDD THAT FOREVER GOES HOME TOMORROW THO?? HE MIGHT BE HERE FOR THE EVENT SATURDAY!!!!)

"I'm not a big fan of blood, I prefer meat" well cellbit likes both so....uhm....

WHEN I WAS ON PAC'S STREAM EARLIER I SAW THE ADMINS HAD A POLL ASKING CHAT IF THEY THINK CELLBIT WILL COME BITE PAC'S OTHER LEG OFF JASNVDKJSDAJKVAN I LOVE THEM

"Why is Bad so suspect with everyone but cell?" maybe because cellbit has known him the longest...? i don't know asndvjksda that's so silly tho i love that for qbbh

etoile was doing a dungeon for the Resistance >:DD he was getting lore and i heard that he got his ticket from the dice minigame thing so HE CAN JOIN EVERYONE ON SATURDAY IF THE TICKETS ARE IMPORTANT!!! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!

"hmmmm vrido" f!cell eating people

...okay anyways JELLYFISH!! I've seen the pacific sea nettles before when i visit an aquarium sort of near where I live :DD they're common around where i live i guess? they're very pretty. i didn't know that about their name!!! that's so cool >:OO the marine biologist who named this jellyfish must have been a nerd lol /aff

|send me “#” for cell phone headcanons about our muses including

"Hmm I dunno if I 'ike ya snooping in my phone more 'ike this. BUT whatever I guess."

- what your muse’s name is in mine’s phone

'Ari.' "Nothin' special I guess pretty much everyone uses 'his nickname for my sister like Pops and Uncle Mikey. I guess Ariel's kind of hard ta make a nickname outta less I start call her El? which I might jus' do mostly ta annoy her cause I think she be generally annoyed if I jus' randomly call her El with explation and act 'ike I didn' do it just cause I can." Summer thinks a moment "Yeah I think I will do that do actually. "But I couldn' say Ariel as a kid so callin' her Ari was the closest for me. So I been callin' her Ari ever since." - what your muse’s picture is in mine’s phone

[image description] Ariel poking out from the water, with Summer looking down from the dock she was sitting on. Acting as look out mostly. So Ariel could swim around more openly with out a worry. Every so often Ariel would pop back up with something she found or somthin' Ariel threw in. It was a game for them. Summer ended up snapping a photo when Ariel popped up because she just likes how happy her sister seems to be just getting to swim with out having to worry about humans well also having fun with Summer.

"Funny 'nough cause of my pop's i'm not the best swimmer. So I tend to jus' hang on the shore or the end of the docks when I go to the beach with Ari. I do love the ocean though, i 'ike that salty smell and splashing my feet in the water. But I know my sister loves it! an' I know if I go wit' her then no one can bug her an' it's not like when an adult gose cause she ain't being watched were jus' hanin' out 'hat different. Sides i'd be willing to bust my bass over some dicks head for tryin' to hurt my sister anyway. Why I 'ike this photo I 'ike 'hat she jus' able to chill and enjoy her so so much."

I Believe in What You Are by Nekokat

Running low, you're nickeling and diming Don't you know there's silver in the lining? The same old bars and beat up car, does it get mundane?

"I feel there might be better part of the song ta use but I got a reason here see. I ain't sayin' we got it the same I know i got freedoms she can' have for reasons that are dumb. But, we do got 'hings in common that I feel we both got lives 'hat aren' always gonna be smooth. We do both struggle wit' shit. Sure I know she looked forward to grow up to earn some more freedom too an' I worry she sometimes feels burden by just bein' a mutant. An' well I 'ike this song for her cause I dunno I jus' want Ari to see she ain't some mutant freak. I just want her to believe in herself so yeah I push her at times to do 'hings but cause I already do."

Ooh! Could I ask for the Glamrocks HCs with a reader who's basically Spider-Man in that world?

Oh yeah! I was watching Far From Home a few days ago so yess. I’ll just do “first encounter” scenarios for some of the animatronics (not Chica, Sun, or Roxy tho bc I’m not sure how they would react)

.........

Monty

When you heard rumors about hauntings at the Mega Pizzaplex, you had to see this for yourself.

And the first thing you see when you drop in through a vent is...

An angry gator animatronic smashing everything in sight, including you as he thinks you’re an intruder.

“Hey, you know damaging company property is a serious crime?!” You taunt, webbing him up (much like how Andrew!Spider-Man webs up the Lizard in the school lab) until he can barely move.

“Say you don’t happen to be a doctor who got into some freak accident and mutated into a cyber croc, are you?” You ask, thinking he’s calmed down.

“Dunno what you’re talkin’ about!! Just GET OUT OF HERE!!”

His claws tear themselves free of the webs, much to your shock, so you cling to the ceiling so he can’t reach you.

This guy was definitely not any Lizard you’ve seen before.

Glamrock Freddy

Fortunately, he sees you in a friendlier light than Monty. 

You were invited as a guest to the Pizzaplex to meet fans and met him once before during the daytime. So he immediately recognizes you.

And he explains why his friends are acting so aggressive: their programming was corrupted and he’s trying to figure out why.

“Well, I’m here to help, Mr. Fazbear-”

“Please, call me Freddy. No need to be so formal.” He reassures you with a smile.

You help him and Gregory whenever possible--such as webbing up Security Bots if they’re giving him any trouble and web-swinging the kid away from danger.

He loves it but Freddy is lowkey terrified you’ll drop him.

.........

Bonuses (Moon and DJMM)

Moon

Out of nowhere, your spider sense tells you to dodge.

And you do exactly that, right as someone who tried tackling you misses and lands on the floor.

After taking a closer look, you realize it’s a moon-themed jester robot hooked to the ceiling, seemingly gliding through the air when he leaps back up.

‘Okay that’s definitely cheating.’ You huff.

Somehow he possesses agility that nearly rivals yours, even contorting his body in strange ways that were downright creepy to evade your webs.

He keeps talking about you being “up past bedtime” even though you’re no child. His programming must’ve been bugged, too.

One thing’s for sure..this creepy guy is definitely gonna be an issue during your investigation here.

DJMM

You’re a spider. And he’s a..much bigger spider than you expected.

You’d consider him to be an “Avengers-level threat” if he was corrupted and wrecking the entire mall.

But fortunately he stays asleep on his stage as you investigate Fazcade for any clues.

When you accidentally awaken him, you find out that his Bouncer Mode is online and he targets you.

You try webbing up the various holes in the arcade but they don’t hold him back for long.

They do, however, restrain his hands so you can jump on his back and manually switch off Bouncer Mode. Turns out it’s under his hat so you end his rampage (despite nearly being swatted off).

After that, he calms down and goes back to his stage, playing funky music and asking what songs you like.

[batarangsoundsdumb]

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.

For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell

fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one

i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft

that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you

tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again

as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)

hear me out hear me out, red hood stans 🤝 nightwing stans t h i g h s

holy shit yes.

SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe

superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'

does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom

it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.

I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?

as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)

somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.

and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!

babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence

babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to

JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT

again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song

The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian

oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag

soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"

i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage

Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?

don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)

What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk

stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.

This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it

This is canon now @nctxrejects

lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out

idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family

bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another

I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.

yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.

Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings

smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn

Duke was adopted by Bruce?

not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?

True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live

true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?

apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome

ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.

ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut

lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash

oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man

while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.

dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie

magnum hot take

hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth

thank you 😘🌷 (@spacebarsidecar)

why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???

what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones

oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no

I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked

yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends

"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 😬 It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years

i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.

BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them

lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.

I am in love with your posts your honour thank you

omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?

The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasn’t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john

Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian

yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

and what about it?

when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST

oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat

Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes

lmao i do too

I need you to know that “Bruce Wayne had frosted tips” is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time it’s so galaxy brained. you’re right and you should say it

he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.

you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank

babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)

ruh roh i think i’m about to add “so not yeehaw” every time i don’t like something

that's a very good vocabulary upgrade

somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like “oh you fucked up i’m never gonna forget this”

steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.

Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious

babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks

In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97

lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)

You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.

bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers

How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?

horrible, next question.

I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid

yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time

bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)

lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)

Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje

he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'

I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??

i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way

SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed

'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'

i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam

fair enough

[reddoll123]

So I finally listened to RV's latest title track Birthday just now and you guys...I didn't like it at all lol. Loved their styling but the song was doin' way too much and not in a cute quirky IGAB way but just ehhh. I know I'll prob have some fav b-sides tho from the album itself (and I still gotta listen to Seulgi's album--I dunno why I do that with some albums, like I put off listening to them so that I can set aside time to properly freak out and fangirl on the weekend I guess lol. Especially when it comes to my faves.)

Anyways, what'd you guys think of the song/mv tho?

[captainshazamerica]

THE BATMAN SPOILERS

I'm literally just back from watching batman yooo I am conflicted, I liked it but I dunno for some reason I give it like a 7.5 outta 10 which is weird cuz it wasn't bad. Alfred and Jim 10/10 tho 😅see when bruce is like you're not my father boy hurt my heart young man you be nice to alfred! This Selina kyle was quite good and she went through too much pain I usually like angst but oh my gosh poor baby😢 the one thing I didn't like about her was that she basically said all riddlers victims had it coming yeah they did bad things but the way they were tortured and that kid finding his dad like that 😢😢😢 (literally bruce did nothing wrong!?) it does leave room for character growth for her, Gotham really poisons peoples minds, that scene where bruce stops her with falcone one of the best scenes she aced that scene 👏

The riddler and all his creepy followers 😨 did like him but boy can he whine and that squeal crying thing in his cell was a tad annoying and his mind set he definitely not well!! The juxtaposition between edward and bruce was so freakin well done. What was with Eds breathing honestly what, I didn't like the song choice ava maria being a peaceful beautiful song the motherly love of Christ's mother and then just all Eds evilness and Gothams corruption it gave like a sickening effect to me but that was prob intentional and also ed didn't get the love of a mother

Wayne manor looked dope the aesthetic of movie in a lot of parts was mwah Jim Gordon absolutely stellar as usual 💙 not gonna list all the bits that I liked cuz this would be waay to long lol but I will say bruce helping the people in the water and the adults too afraid to take his hand but then the kid does ahhhh selinas comment about bruce being married to Gotham Ed having a social media following of awful people gave me the heebie jeebies because there are prob people irl who'd be down with that. This Gotham in the early years of batman starting is I feel like the most horrendous and evil Gotham on screen yet

I thought I wouldn't like the fact that he doesn't upkeep his bruce wayne celebrity womaniser act up but you know what it makes so much sense in this without it because he doesn't go to bed at night he does physically and mentally gruelling work when he gets home I'm pretty sure all the energy he's got left is for sleeping and eating

Ahh i cant remeber who but I think Selena or was it penguin? Asked bruce if he lived in a cave hahaaa

Not that it needs to be said 😅 but yours sincerely batanon

BATANON!💖💖💖💖 I am so sorry this took so long, I have no brain cells/energy lately avjvdiavidvisvie, but I love your batman rants so much, I loved reading ittt!

Only 7.5 out of 10?!?! Did you like it more or less than dark knight tho?👀 I liked it so much more as a batman adaption, ya know? Omg alfred and jim in this are def 10/10, also 10/10 Jim and Batman dynamics omg, best I've seen👏🏻

Ooof that part with alfred killed me😭

See that's like def in character for selina to say given her background tho, and also why she is almost always more anti-hero, like jason todd def would have agreed with her lol. But yes, she freaking KILLED it as Selena oh my goshhhh!

Haha, his monologue in the cell was honestly one of my fav parts, like especially in terms of acting, like the way he loses it is just *chefs kiss* in terms of character and acting! Or are you talking about when the joker is monologing and riddler is just pacing and whining? Lol. Oooh and that DEF was the intention with that specific song, it's so meant to be unsettling with juxtaposition, the evil like to take something that is meant to be pure and corrupt it , so I personally thought it was brilliant. Like it was 100% suppose to give the sickening effect you felt!

Oooh yes, the aesthetics were great! And I liked the take on wayne manor with the gothic cathedral like vibe!

Ahhh yes, the kid taking batman's hand first was SO good, that whole part was so amazing and shot beautifully omg

Yes, ed's following and streaming also gave me chills along with the shooting scene because it got all too realistic at that point in this day and age🥴

And yes, I agree with you about bruce and the act! I was like so conflicted on it at first but really liked the direction they went! Emo bruce wayne looking like he always got rained on is perfect 🤣

FRUITS BASKET S3 EPISODE 1 + 2 RECAP!

Yayyy! Season 3! Finally! I’m hoping this season will make me understand/sympathise with Akito and maybe even Shigure a little bit more because... honestly? My opinions on episode 2?... I might get some flack for my opinions on them...  😬

But, first: I’d like to appreciate how on the Funimation app we got a little interview/message from a few of the english dub VAs! Specifically Colleen Clinkenbeard, Jerry Jewell, Eric Vale, Ian Sinclair and Brina Palencia (Akito, Kyo, Yuki, Kureno and Isuzu). And it was nice seeing some of their opinions of the characters they play and how much they’re emotionally invested in the story. (Ian’s such a nerd ‘I wanna see giant mechs later this season’ 😂 - I lowkey stan him lol)

You should definitely check it out if you’re interested in what they would have to say!

ANYWAYS, let’s get into it...

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

EPISODE 1

I really love this depiction of the original zodiac and how you can just tell from the tone of the scene how desperately the God of the Zodiac was clinging on to these connections that they had with the participants in the banquet. How much they clung on to and loved the cat... Also, interesting how Tohru’s narrating this scene... almost like she can relate to the desperation of wanting to keep things the same... but we’ll get to that later. But also, Tohru is a God

This new opening is beautiful, I love the way that camera moves around the still illustrations and how the general tone just hammers down that... this season is gonna be some real shit lol (which makes me nervous for the opening for the second half 😳). It’s so warped and the general blue, grey and black tone that follows around every Akito scene we get in the anime has bled into every scene in this opening concerning the rest of the zodiac. Almost... like something is decaying. It’s great, it’s just very sad lol. I love the song tho, issa bop.

One of my favourite things in stories is when we get a bigger villain than the ‘pronounced’ villain of the story. Ren’s introduction through a manicured outstretched hand towards Kureno and Hatori is so weirdly gross in what it insinuates (especially when you apply her connection with Shigure) but again... I wanna know why she’s such an asshole to Akito specifically besides the bad mental health management within the Sohma compound. I have an inkling of what it is through memory of the manga, but like Akito and Shigure... I just wanna understand why.

Also, Ren is gorgeous and I’m sorry for simping. 

I mean... she’s kinda got a point? She just didn’t need to be so mean about it lol. It’s pretty clear that the connection the zodiac have to each other is real and something they cannot control. BUT, wouldn’t it be easier if this connection wasn’t perpetuated by outer circles of the family and if Akito herself wasn’t so cruel about it? But, I guess Akito - through her relationship with her mother - kinda doesn’t know how to genuinely show love and affection. (Which brings me into my thoughts of how the manga ends and how I kinda... have a few problems with it which I will get to... when that comes lol)

Lol - weeeeeeeee! (flashes back to Tohru being yeeted into the river). Is this a part of Akito’s god-like powers?!

Again. She’s got a point! They’ve both got a point. But, they’re both the source of the problem. It’s really painful to see two mentally ill people duke it out. This whole institution is just rotten.

- I am super curious about what Akira’s relationship was like with the zodiac and if it was just as dark. I’m gonna assume it slightly already was, as the exclusion and degradation of the cat curse is already dark in itself but maybe the rest of the zodiac were just fine with how things were? I dunno if we actually will get the full backstory of Akira and his zodiac but I’m definitely intrigued

Ok, but if four crying children came up to me after I’d just consummated with my partner to reach out at my stomach chanting ‘we’ve been waiting for you’. That would disturb me and scar me for a while too so... 😂. I know it’s supposed to be ethereal and spiritual but... dude, wtf lol

...I don’t like how much I’m into Ren being such a Villain™  😅

- Akito being seen as a crying child by the older zodiac members has always been interesting to me because yes, they could see her as that through mainly the age gap, general empathy and the way she sometimes irrationally acts out. But, also the depiction of Gods being seen as children having tantrums has being reflected in many different beliefs and myths (especially Greek Mythology) and I just like the fact that this all powerful, all knowing being would be compared to a child. It gives you a different perspective on power.

- Is the paper note in the CD case that Kureno gave back to Tohru an extra addition or was it always there?...

Mannnn... I really wanted Isuzu to fuck shit up after seeing Tohru so upset but... *le sigh* (outfit’s still on point)

But, I’m so glad we get an equal Ethereal Goddess to save Tohru! HANAJIMA! We love her, we stan her. <3

- ‘Tohru will be in my custody’ 🤣 I personally think Hana’s bluntness was a kindness in her conversation with Yuki because if I found Tohru upset? I’d automatically start firing metaphorical shots at everyone in that house

- Shigure fearing Hana makes me sleep better at night <3

Hana’s just like ‘hmm... sounds like someone I know... 👀’ I’m here for this parallel between Tohru and Kureno in the hopes that Tohru doesn’t ever get in as bad a situation as Kureno. Ahhh... Kureno... (Also, Laura Bailey was killing it in this scene as always)

- Hmmm... there’s something terribly poetic about Kyo saving Tohru’s scarf from oncoming traffic... but also, Kyo can’t help himself aha

KWEEEN! I love this look for Uo, it’s very Kyoko. I already said this in Season 1 but I STILL need to get wool-lined jacket. Outfit Appreciation goes to her - 3.5 stars.

<3<3<3 Friendship is magic!

- Megumi is such a good egg as always! From him going to get Uo to him being so wise with his outlook on love and how it takes time to really flourish. The best!

- This whole episode ends really nicely from Tohru’s return home and Kyo washing and returning Tohru’s scarf and Yuki being happy to see Tohru and Shigure being somewhat decent. It was nice to get a bit of relief after the tornado of emotions

Also, this was a nice screencap! Even Kyo is smiling!!! :))))

EPISODE 2

*takes sip of wine* ...ok.

👀... later lol

This scene really highlighted how Tohru is starting to see Shigure and the whole zodiac curse in a new and darker way. For the first time, it felt like Tohru was a little bit more guarded around Shigure and I hope they delve more into this season. Her description of her feeling around the curse being like a ‘dark well with no bottom in sight’ is pretty spot on. Ugh.

Aw! Is this the last we’re getting of Small!Momiji?! I love them :3 (Momiji’s shorts look a little shorter too, like he’s growing out of them ahaha)

- I haven’t found the Yuki fan club funny since their first scene in the anime but their poor disguises made me chuckle

- Yayyy! Kyo has an obsessive fan club too? ...Yay?? 😅 haha

- ‘I won’t kill them but they can go to hell’ why is Kyo speaking like me?! 😂

The fact that we got a scene of Yuki kinda admirably looking at a group of friends (boys and girls) playfully physically interacting and he unconsciously reaches out to Machi almost like he forgot about the curse? Heart eyes... 🥰

Again. Relatable. 😂 God, Yuki. You really are an airhead. Bless your soul. <3

And that look says it all. Damn. Kyo’s sense of hopelessness is heartbreaking but I still stand by it being understandable considering his circumstances.

Kyo freaking out about Tohru being visually upset was super cute but I couldn’t even appreciate the fluff because the whole scene had such a morbid tone to it, despite it being so visually romantic:

KYO’S FACE!!! 💔 Ahhh, my emotions!!!! Also, that shot from Tohru’s perspective under her bangs is great.

- Poor Mitsuru, I’d ask for extra pay just for dealing with Shigure’s ass.

Hahah - what a great metaphor!

- Now that Shigure’s ‘true form’, so to speak, has been fully exposed all his comments that are supposed to be teasing come off so much more awful. Him insinuating Mitsuru wasn’t ‘upper class’ enough for Ritsu was awful

COLLLDDDD. AS. IIIIIIICE. But seriously, Shigure this whole episode was cold in many different ways but I definitely felt this personally since I’ve been told something like this by a family member before... 😕 Also, it’s just gross how both Shigure and Akito are taking their own personal issues and mistrust of each other out on to other people. The curse and the institution behind the curse complicates a lot of feelings for sure, but there’s a difference between wrong and right and I get the general feeling that they both are just using the muddy waters to their advantage. Although, I feel like Shigure is taking more advantage of this than Akito but I’ll get into that in a bit.

- There’s also something about this episode that made me sympathise a lot more with Kureno in a more understandable way. But, it also makes me question the ending of this whole story and the resolutions that happen and what life for the whole Sohma institution/family looks like after the curse has broken.. I guess, I should read ‘Fruits Basket Another’ after this, huh?

😳... Shigure is so petty, man. Really?!

So...

I hate this relationship. I’m sorry. I know there are loads of people who like this relationship. And I’m still giving myself space for the show and the story to convince me why it’s worth it. But... I really don’t like this relationship. It’s so toxic. In so many ways. And in a weird way, this scene made me feel a LITTLE bit more for Akito than Shigure. It feels like Shigure gaslights everyone in his life but none no more than Akito, herself. I hate the fact that he keeps saying he loves her while hurting her or disregarding her. You know, almost like he’s treating her like a child. But on the other hand, I hate the fact that Akito has lowkey gaslighted herself into thinking she can treat people however she wants because she is ‘God’. I understand this is part of the way she was brought up and it seems like life in the Sohma compound has been very isolating for her so there’s been no one really to show her better (or have the confidence to show her better). But, at least I can be a little bit more sympathetic on her side than Shigure’s. I dunno... it’s just all very ugly and toxic and I’m hoping that it’ll turn around somehow.

I just hope it’s not one of those relationships that are ‘so good cos it’s so bad’.

...I’ll briefly talk about the ending theme to end this on a good note lol:

I really like this ending! I dunno if they’re gonna have two endings and two openings for this season but this ending definitely feels like it should’ve gone in the second half as it’s almost spoiler-y? But, then again what anime opening and ending isn’t packed with spoilers lol

All the illustrations are gorgeous, I’m assuming they were drawn by Takaya-sensei herself as it seems very much in her current style of artistry but my favourite illustrations are definitely the ones shown above! <3

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

Ahhh! Fin! Sorry, about this one being super long and you probably having to scroll past a whole lot on your dash 😝 As usual, I had a lot to say. I’m open to hearing from people who actually like Shigure and Akito’s relationship btw, it’s just that everything before and episode 2 just really didn’t sail the ship for me, personally. I do want to understand! Haha

See you soooon!

WANDAVISION SPOILERS FOR EP 3

Me before I watched episode 3 of wandavision: oh man I hope the next advert makes a reference to Pietro:

Me watching Wanda talk to Monica about being a twin and how she had a brother called Pietro, with such love and a faraway look, remembering to herself how she lost the other half of her soul, how she is only half of a complete set of twins, most likely remembering the pain she felt when he died and wishing he was here to see the twins. And to top it off, when she said his name, her accent fucking came out:

ME WATCHING WANDA SING A SOKOVIAN LULLABY TO THE TWINS, MOST LIKELY THE SAME SONG THEIR MOTHER SUNG TO WANDA AND PIETRO WHEN THEY GREW UP AND SUNG TO EACH OTHER AFTER THEIR DEATHS, AND MOST LIKELY THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS SHE'S UTTERED THAT SONG TO ANYONE!!!:

Monica fucking going 'yeah your brother...the one that was killed by ultron by a bunch of bullets after saving Clint and some kid, the one you felt his death as soon as it happened, right?' And ruining that moment, fuck why the heck did she say that if she wasnt supposed to be there? Unless its because they thought someone was in there she was trying to help wanda break out of whatever they thought whoever did this to her??? I dunno but she might have spoken more of him if Monica didn't interrupt....

Yeah....In all that was my fave part of the ep, I preferred the first two in terms of comedy and I guess more suspense with the glitches, tho that on that happened with Vision being suspicious and its like she overlapped it freaked me out in a good way I watched it again, it was amazing. I do look forward to the next ep, hoping Pietro will be mentioned, of seen (heres hoping) again.

Love horror and fantasy. I care deeply for close people and will do everything for em. I can always forgive and forget some things from friend. Kinda forgetful and hard to focus on one thing. I have kinda bad sense of humor (what do u expect when I only watch sr pelo, Brandon Rogers and filthy frank XD). I can get more hyperactive and do some crazy bs for time to time, I dunno why I do it tho. I think it's all, Thx if u read this, hope I don't waste yo time, bye

Greetings and Salutations. I hope your drinking, eating, and sleeping good as well. It’s all my fault for having motivation problems to finally do this but here it is. It’s nothing personal, of course, it’s unfortunately just my pea brain being the intellectual it is.

Also I watch the same Youtubers, though I think that type is funny af and isn’t as bad as it is. Gen Z I tell you.

Your Sally Face matchup is.. Sal Fisher !!

• Granted there’s few characters I can pick from this series sense there’s only like seven of them but I chose Sal. He’s very chill, and not as rowdy as some of the other characters. Though, you did come very close to getting matched with Maple.

• Sally has been on the shorter side all his life unfortunately, probably 5’5 at most I think? He doesn’t say much on height, sense he doesn’t like to judge. If you ever mention his height he wouldn’t care though, cause you can already bet Larry already said something before you.

• You being easy going is always refreshing. He never needs to worry around you, because he knows you won’t freak out to much and deal with stuff accordingly, similar to him. Stress in Addison Apartments often leads to more chaos.

• You’d definitely get along with his friends I’m sure. They’re all super chill and excepting anyway, so why wouldn’t they? They all love you and treat you like a true equal. You won’t need to worry about being lonely ever again, I guarantee.

• Sal isn’t the best at small talk, so the fact you’re able to start a conversation so easily makes him a little relieved. He’s open to talking about whatever, sense he seems to keep everything at the same level most of the time. It could be like the most outrageous dangerous thing and he’ll be super chill about talking about it. Unless it’s super touchy. You already know what I mean.

• Sally is actually really impressed by your skills, especially in animation. He tried to get into drawing by Larry and Ash’s advances, but failed miserably. Both Larry and Ash are good as I just mentioned, Sal recommends you guys should do a colab sometime.

• Sal plays guitar too! Granted mostly it’s electric guitar but it’s the same deal. Sally made a song about you..he’s a bit nervous to show you, but in days come when he gains enough confidence he’ll show you. When the times right-..hopefully soon.

• Your nihilistic views on the world are mutual to him. After the incident with his mom, he’s just been a walking corpse. He just lets the days go by and sees what happens. He’s glad he has someone to relate to that. I hope you too.

• Sal isn’t always playing video games, but you can bet he has his fair share of games laying around he still likes to play. He has a few game consoles too. Feel free to use them, sometimes he plays with you too.

• He’s definitely told you about the ghosts in Addisons Apartments at this point. You’ve probably met Megan too. Sal finds it interesting too, but he’s worried about the cult coming near you, so in that aspect he’s protective in how far you come close to the stuff.

• Obviously this man is full of chaos everyday. You guys are always out doing something. Sometimes you have the hang with you, and sometimes it’s just the two of you on a little date. I can always guarantee that you guys do something together basically everyday though. You’ll never be bored.

• Despite his self continuousness and that wack shit he’s involved in, he hopes he can have time with you. He wants to have a life with you, and be able to enjoy instead of focusing to much on this curse that lurks on his shoulders.

Your Homestuck matchup is.. Aradia Megido !!

• Who better to go with a slightly spooky boy then a slightly spooky girl?

• Aradia tends to get bored easily, and will talk about absolutely anything to spice things up if she can. Even if it makes her seem facetious in some dangerous situations. Then again that’s her all the time with her unhinged laughter.

• hhhhhhhhh I love writing for Aradia such wife material.

• Most of Aradia’s talents are more adventure driven, but she does enjoy down time if she is tired once in awhile. Those times she loves to watch you like some sort of specimen. That includes watching you sleep. But- she like to watch you do your own hobbies! Watching you draw something so effortlessly is so cool- and your guitar playing has become so calming to her lately.

• Your nihilistic thoughts disappoint her. Sure the world is doomed, but can’t we make up for that? Despite being utterly doomed, we can still enjoy to small joys from the universe, right? Aradia tries to brighten your broads in that aspect, at least trying to make you think a little more positively.

• She’s a ghostly fairy. If that isn’t the best Horror/Fantasy mashup for you I don’t know what is. Not to she’s hella into that type of stuff, and I’m sure that’ll lead to some pretty interesting conversations.

• Please- you think your humor is bad? Aradia’s humor consists of dry sarcasm and puns. I’m sure she finds more stuff then that funny, but it’s the humor she uses and probably her favorite.

• Being easily bored, most of the time Aradia wants to get up and do something. She’s definitely going to drag you out of bed one day to explore this abandoned hospital that’s rumored to be inhabited by ghosts. I’m sure it gets more chaotic then that but I can’t think of anything right now.

• She’s very RAMbunctious * fingerguns *

• Anyway Aradia will always be up to do anything. Memory making is important to her, and she’d love to spend it with you!

egg magazine, april 1990. interview with Michael Hutchence

transcription below :)

Michael Hutchence on Lower Broadway

By Hal Rubenstein \ Photography by Steven Meisel

Globe-hopping is hell on a wardrobe and hard on the feet. Sometimes you have to get out of the limo to spend your money.

Michael Hutchence rarely comes to New York without luggage monogrammed INXS or Max Q, so one would think that on a visit without portfolio, the last thing he'd want to do is add on more baggage. But given a free day, a book of tickets, and our offer to go anywhere to do anything, Hutchence got into the limo with an agenda we could hardly call a new sensation. What kept us from sulking was that he hadn't left the devil outside.

Michael: You think we can load this car up with Yamamoto, Comme des Garcons, and Armani by 6?

Hal: Driver, step on it. Down to Grand and make a left.

[The car turns onto Union Square West.]

Isn't there a club on the corner here?

The Underground.

That's the one that keeps surviving regardless of how many people get shot there. How many are they up to?

No one's quite sure.

Where are we now? I don't recognise this.

This strip of lower Broadway didn't exist last time you were here. Now it's like a mall-less town's Main Street.

And Tower Records is City Hall. Not bad. It's wild to see this much activity because people around the world now talk about New York in terms of decay, how New York is such a rude place, and we keep telling them, No, New Yorkers are quite friendly, we like it there. New Yorkers are just very honest. They don't have time to bullshit. I like New York because people are linked to each other. L.A. Is fun, but segregated. Here there is a metro, and a different philosophy of getting around so there's rich upon poor upon rich. The only thing I don't remember is how many homeless are asleep on Park Avenue and everywhere else. Or is it my imagination?

No, it's real. How come you choose to live in Hong Kong instead of Australia?

For about three years, I thought it didn't matter where I lived. But I kept passing through it again. I grew up there, from when I was four until twelve. My dad still lives there. It has great energy, like New York. And it's ten hours closer to the world than Australia is. If you travel a lot, it adds up.

[We enter the Yohji Yamamoto store.]

So austere. Do they go wild if you hand back anything wrinkled? Those clothes over there are good acid-house colors. Has acid house caught on here?

Not like in England.

That's 'cause New York has bad radio. Are these dogs always here? They must sleep in the shoes. Ooh, look at these here. Not very me, but very Star Trek. $500 for a T-shirt. I see. I'll buy six. No, twelve. Now, here is something very stagy. Ultraflouncy. I like that, but the general consensus might kill my career.

Is what you wear onstage the same as you wear off?

I sort of smush them all together. My favorite piece of clothing is a leather jacket I had made for me that says “Hutch” in chain mail on the back.

Did Michael Schmidt make it for you?

Yeah – how'd you know? He's great. He sort of looks like a beautiful snake. He loves all the Hollywood stuff, but he's so sincere when he talks about it. Almost makes me like it. Is there somewhere funkier we can go, like Yankel's House of Pile? I saw that on the way down.

If you want old clothes, we should go to Cheap Jack's.

[We head back up to Broadway and 13th Street. Several young ladies on the corner stare at Hutchence as he enters Cheap Jack's.]

Do you enjoy recognition?

Depends on where I am.

Like when you're out on your own. Shopping, for instance.

Shopping, yeah, 'cause I get discounts. And there is a definite bonus to recognition when I'm onstage.

It makes the night go faster. But I'm not an institution yet. Sometimes I think about how hard it must be for someone like Bob Hope to go for a stroll. I don't really get hassled. I can stand in the middle of a street in London, or even New York, and usually nothing happens. I don't think I have that distinctive of a face. I got recognized in Tangier once, going by in a taxi, very fast … from a distance … in a fog … during monsoon season. Just kidding. It's odd how once you are conscious of being watched, you stop being so self-conscious because you realize there's nothing you can do about it. Of course, nobody in Hong Kong gives a shit who I am.

Aren't people there freaking about the city's eventual realignment with China?

Thousands are leaving a year, but they're the ones who can afford to leave, to give Australia half a million to let them in, though a lot more are going to Vancouver or New Zealand instead because they've heard, and it's fairly true, about Australia's racism.

It's actually more like unconscious racism. There's a naivete to it that you might call charming if it wasn't so sick. See, most foreigners don't realize – because we refuse to believe it ourselves – that Australia is southern Asia. Australia is linked to England in everyone's minds.

Yet most Australians don't have the faintest idea why the Japanese tried to invade us during the Second World War, and can't understand why they might not have wanted any foreigners on the biggest island in the Asian paradise. If we had lost, my home would be covered in rice paddies by now. Australia would have been Japan's Great Plains, their grain barrel.

I've never met one Australian who knows that. We have it so easy in Australia. It's very easy to live there. Tougher than it was before, but that's because five years ago it was ridiculous. I used to live in a three-story, five-bedroom house. It cost me $20 a week.

Did you make that much playing music?

Nah, but so what, we were all on the dole. Everyone went on it. That's one of the reasons you have so many bands in Australia. It's cheap to live and collect, so all the bands go on it. You wouldn't even have to go pick up your employment check; they'd mail it to you or transfer it to your account. Ready cash. I guess because there is such an anti-authoritarian vibe in Australia that people are quite happy to accept government checks. “Aw, screw 'em” - that's the attitude. Lots of people accept four and five checks or even have jobs. It's very lax. That's why we're stuck with the tall-poppy syndrome.

Translation?

Don't be successful, don't rise above your mates, or you'll get chopped. It's weird. It's the don't-leave-the-pub way of life. I think people in America are generally happy for someone's good fortune; they know how to let themselves go. In Australia, they go, “Good, mate,” and don't ask a single question. There are no celebrations for a job well done. I'm still shocked at how Americans cheer you on when they like you. I know you don't fancy it anymore, but I like phrases like “dress for success.”

And that's why you're shopping here?

I love hideous ties. Girls love 'em. Dunno why. Its like red socks. Are the playing Richard Hell? I haven't heard this song in 20 years. God, you must hear better music in clothing stores than you do anywhere else in New York. All these baseball jackets are so cheap. You know what they pay for these in Australia? I should buy the whole lot, take them back. I'd never have to tour again. I could get 150 to 200 bucks just for the ratty ones. I think this is the first clothing store I've been in that wasn't playing videos.

Are videos big in Australia?

We've actually been involved in music video a whole lot longer than in America. Because we are so far away, the only way we've had to understand all this music flying around the world is through video. Since the '50s, even when it was only 10 minutes a week, Aussie tv has been showing music videos.

And we don't censor the way you guys do. The “Way of the World” single is a very serious song, but MTV is quite shy of the video, you should note – I say this diplomatically. They censor here for all the wrong reasons. Like it's okay to stare at Cher's crotch for four minutes, but it's hard to say something truthful about the state of the world.

Could it be because with a group that's become as wildly successful as INXS has, it's inevitable that favorable reaction always turns?

I don't think INXS has reached that point yet. Give us four more years. We've only recently become hip in England. At the beginning, they hated our guts.

Why?

'Cause we are Australians writing pop music, why else? They don't make much in England, apart from nice jumpers and Jaguars, and one of the few things they can claim some turf on is pop music. So, they're not happy when someone else does it. It's a standard trait of island people; they're very territorial.

But you guys are island people too.

Yeah, but we got a bigger island. Now, if we can just get rid of some competition from the expatriate colonies.

Isn't it enough already with this rivalry between Australia and England? L.A. And New York have settled their feud.

England still treats Australia like we're descendants of convicts. Well, I guess we are, aren't we? We're trying to get rid of them, but unfortunately, they're coming back with money and buying up half the country. Don't you resent the Japanese buying Rockefeller Center?

I resent the Rockefellers more.

[Having tried on everything and bought nothing, Hutchence decides against old clothes. We head down to If boutique.]

Armand Basi. Nice stuff. That Claude Montana is fabulous, but God, this stuff is expensive. We don't know anyone here for a discount, do we? My father used to design clothes for a shop in Hong Kong called Dynasty. Glitzy evening wear for too much money. One year, when we did our first tour, we bough ta lot of Sprouse, real colorful stuff, and we spent a fortune, especially when you consider it's disposable fashion. All it had to do was last a month. All the buttons fell off, it shrunk, seams opened up. We would have been more upset, but it made us homesick for the mother country. Disposable fashion is very English. The nice thing about it when it comes from there, however, is that even though the stuff falls apart, it's cheap.

Ah, I like this. Very sexy, very smart. Basi, right? I found the best underwear. I think it's called Nikos. Someone gave it to me last night. Well, that's a plug. No names, please. These pants might go with the Basi shirt. [Like Navy pants, they have over a dozen buttons instead of a fly.] Not good clubwear. Certainly not quick enough to please me.

Your choice of underwear would have to be very discreet.

And always clean. Maybe these pants come with a catheter. Should I ask the shopgirl? [He raises his arm to call her and, wincing, puts it down.]

Just realized a colostomy bag wouldn't hurt?

No. I think I have a cracked rib, from too much fun the other night at Inflation, this super club in Melbourne. Melbourne has some of the best clubs in the world. Great people. Amazing clubs. Sydney has nothing. Boring as hell. Nice place if you're a surfer. Really pretty, like L.A. But very corrupt, Sydney. Everyone is always paying everyone off. That's why you can't afford to do a club there. It's like, in order to get a club license, all the other nightclub owners have to agree to your having a license. And four people control the voting on that. Melbourne now has a club called Razor that is so exciting. It used to an automobile club, especially popular during the '50s, where people used to talk about their cars, you know, with photos of Mini-Minors making hairpin turns around corners. Like a racing club, I guess, except for slower cars. Razor gets the best people.

[He picks up a pair of huge, get-lost-in-the-rain-forest-and-survive black shoes and delights.]

Many people have shoe fetishes. I guess it's around the world actually, not just with Imelda. I think people are probably just jealous of her because they secretly wanted so many pair. But these are big, like size big. Are Americans getting larger feet, or do they just want more room? I always notice shoes when I'm here.

There's almost like a $100 tax on shoes in Australia. Like a pair that will cost you $50 here will cost you almost $200 in Australia. A pair of Levi's cost $100. I never buy furniture in Australia, either, and I have an obsession with furniture the way Americans love shoes. It's a shame I don't have an obsession with homes, too, since I have no place to put all the furniture. I have it stored all over the world.

Let me get the Basi shirt, and then I want to buy records. I would get them later, but I just remembered I have a friend coming in tonight for only one night. He and his father are trying to get down to Nicaragua. They're helping Ortega keep the Contras back. Good luck. What's so weird about their going is that these guys are publishing magnates in England. Entrepreneurs. They should be serious Thatcherites, but they just hate Thatcher. Real lefties.

If everyone is so vocal of their dislike of her, how come she's so strong?

The British love her because they love to be miserable; they love to complain. Thatcher's become irrepressible. She's finally showing signs of faltering, except she's winning by default, because no one wants to put Kinnock in, either. It's like your Dan Quayle. What an alternative.

Are Australians political?

It's compulsory to vote, if you want to call that political. Frankly, nobody particularly gives a fuck. That doesn't mean Australians are not aware people. I think they know more about what's going on in the rest of the world than the average American, but that's because they have to compensate for being in the middle of nowhere. They're more concerned about international politics, about the environment. Every time the Americans come into Sydney harbor with their nuclear ships and submarines, there's always 5,000 people telling them to fuck off.

But the hell with domestic politics?

Do you know anything about our system? It's built on a bickering sort of war. The front page is always about politicos throwing shit at each other, spending more time insulting each other than governing.

Mind you, they are really very good at it. It's a fine Australian tradition of political insult. Listening to parliament is hilarious - “Shut up, you bastard!” - and that's our prime minister, Bob Hawke. He's in the Guinness Book of World Records for having drunk a yard of beer in record time. He is actually a brilliant leader, a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, and he has done a bloody good job, considering the apathy he's up against. What he should be real pleased about its restoring pride in being Australian, particularly after all that nonsense when the governor general dismissed Prime Minister Whitlam in 1975.

How was that possible without the consent of the Australian parliament?

We're still a colony. I think a lot of us were cynical after that. They felt like puppets. Probably had something to do with the CIA. The good old CIA. I'm in their files, I found out. That they should waste their time on me. I'm listed as subversive, for my lyrics to “Guns in the Sky” and because I once threw condoms out to the audience in Northern Australia.

How is that subversive?

The more north you get in Australia, the more it is like the South in America. The man who ran Queensland, one of the biggest states in Australia, was this guy, Joh Peterson, who was in power for over 20 years. Peterson was this sort of South African leftover who arrived in Australia, and he made things illegal, like sex education, abortion, condoms to minors – you couldn't have the vending machines in clubs. [You can now.] Well, I slandered him, and so I got taken to court, where he was thrown out of office from the corruption uncovered during the proceedings.

Did that make you a hero down there?

Say what, mate? This is Australia, remember. Our heroes are bushrangers, outlaws, and sporting stars. If you're an athlete, you can get away with anything.

[Hutchence purchases the Basi shirts, and then we head to Tower Records at the corner. A street person approaches us.]

is this the official mugging committee?

Street person: “Ooh, ooh, here they come in their limo, straight from Saks Fifth Avenue. Board of directors, how you doing, moneys, you big-time decision makers. Uh-oh, who's you? You must be a rock man. Stand aside for the rock man.”

They always pick on me.

“I want to give you something, man. Some humility. But there's only enough for one.”

I don't care for some, but humility is something we can spread around.

“Hey man, this is for seriously. You will love this humility. No side effects, no speed. Say yes, and I can be back in an hour.”

[We go through the revolving door and right to the rock section; within three minutes, Max Q is playing on the system.]

That's good, somebody knows it's out.

[Hutchence buys albums by Ciccone Youth, Camper Van Beethoven, Soul II Soul, Grace Jones, Shakespear's Sister, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Suicidal Tendencies. As he is paying for them, he spots a postcard stand that features a picture of him.]

Holy shit. When did they take this thing? What a bizarre likeness. I hardly know this guy. This is not an approved photo. [He gets the attention of a young lady behind the counter.] Excuse me, please, this is not an approved photo. It's a pirate. Do you know where you get these from?

Salesgirl: “No idea.”

Can you find out?

“Why, do you want to buy a lot of them?”

See, I told you no one recognizes me.

[We walk outside and the street person comes up to him again.]

Street person: “I know who you are.”

Who am I?

“You are someone who's gonna give me a lot of money.”

How much you want?

“Just give me one of those bills, thank you. Now I'm officially your biggest fan. Just tell me what you want to buy.”

I must be dressed for success.

16. Why I chose my URL: it has... my name in it? and that’s it. I may leave the rest for your interpretation (what the ‘sup’ means? u may never know; probably something stupid tho, like “stand up paddleboarding” or sth)

22. Dream job: Funny bc the last time someone asked me this, I got embarrassed and didn’t answer, welp- I, um- I wanna be a voice actor (wow that is pretty unrealistic-) but! Um, I just really like the idea of using my voice to express the emotions of different characters. And I love to sing as well, so if I ever had a chance to do something with my vocal abilities... Literally, a dream job.

28. Fictional universe I want to live in: PJO universe, most probably ;u; I miss the days when in primary school my friends and I would pretend to be children of ancient gods ;u; my friend was a daughter of Athena and since I was a child of Poseidon, we would bicker with each other a lot and I might have or might have not totally used the excuse of being immune to water when I wanted to walk in the rain with no umbrella or hood 

29. Fictional universe I want to live in part two: can it be a universe in my head? I had a dream a while back about a fairy tale like castle? There was grass instead of the floor, and there were plants and greenery everywhere, and trees, and you needed to use the branches as steps to reach top floors and- oh! there was this beautiful flower garden that my lovely dream girlfriend took care of ;u; I would gladly go back to her, er, to that place

30. Fictional universe I want to live in part three: I’m gonna sound cheesy and say Yuri on Ice universum only to be able to witness viktuuri kiss irl and freak out about it online (which I guess I still did...). In YoI universe there’s no discrimination too, and I would love that to be the reality ;u;
