I'm programmed

practiced

deeply ingrained

to be desperate for something

of which I'm ashamed

things i learned from the @saidthewhale hawaiii anniversary show today

teen lincoln was something of a superfan (i have a photo of me with stw wearing this shirt too lmao)

“safe to say” is about something that happened at a safeway (you will now never be able to unhear this. thanks ben!)

someone on their american team thought “mother” was a coming out song bc he misheard “half a man” as “hot for men”

there’s a really cool story behind the hawaiii album cover: it’s a photo of ww2 aces taking up a bet to fly real real low, and tyler managed to get in contact with the ace in that plane!

whale fact: if you make a phone me gesture with your hand and hold it on top of your head, that’s how much blubber you would have if you were a beluga — according to an audience member who used to work at the aquarium!

stw can perform the entirety of hawaiii and islands disappear in just under 2 hours

the singer of polite fiction is Leonra’s voiceclaim, he decided so himself, which is really unfortunate for him because the singer has a fairly high-pitched voice. T may have given him a lotta height and a very square jaw but it did NOT do him favors vocally. his twin sister, however, speaks like his throat is full of gravel.

spencer emoji questions (: except i'm on desktop as always. lying, ghost, milky way, pencil, music note, books

emoji prompts

🤥 LYING — are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

Answered here!

👻 GHOST — do they believe in ghosts? what are their "ghostly experiences", if any?

augh. Okay, first of all, Spencer grew up with Shinto practices and beliefs, so that's her baseline. But I'm still not confident enough in my place of research with it to be more specific than that; and take this answer with a grain of salt, because it's bound to change. That said, Spencer's kind of halfway on the skeptic to believer scale; she believes in the supernatural, but will sooner check for a carbon monoxide leak than cry ghost. I want to say she'd believe more in broad forces rather than individual hauntings, by dint of personality—there's definitely more to reality than what we make of it, but in this day and age, anyone who says that's most likely trying to sell you something. She takes offense to the impracticality of it all. Don't you want to know the answer instead of obscuring it?

With that in mind, she doesn't interpret a lot of the weird things which have gone on at Grizzco as ghostly. Bad weather, strange noises, and tech malfunctions are par for the course; glimpses of things that aren't there get chalked up to exhaustion. But it does not escape her that it is a place all but built to manufacture lost and vengeful spirits—and, yeah. She's a little scared of it. She dreams of Shiloh as a dead man more often than she'd like to admit, and it takes her a very long time to forget that one late night spent in the building trying to track down their lost coworker.

🌌 MILKY WAY — what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

If I had to pick one singular thing, the most memorable, it was definitely her infatuation for silver things. I remember wondering what kind of characterization I could imply with badges and a banner and went with the silver scheme from there. Then I was still stuck on the idea of a real jerk of a salmon runner, and naturally matching her with Shiloh, giving them both an excellent synergy and real hatred of one another. She was sarcastic, cutthroat, bitey, entitled, commanding, and stupid as fuck from the moment of conception. If that wasn't enough, even then she didn't actually want to be there—but, for various reasons, she didn't think she had a choice.

✏️ PENCIL — is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

Literally so many.

Maybe we will wake up singing. Maybe we will wake up to the silence of shoes at the foot of the bed not going anywhere. (dots everywhere, richard siken)

Before it happened, it was never going to happen. / After it happened, it was always going to happen. (against silence, frank bidart)

"Hotel" by headspace-hotel

Such a waste of a girl, such rumination. / I am obsessive. I contain nothing but the replay. / I am blood and blood and replay. I am please don't go. (i put the coffin out to sea, lisa marie basile)

There was a great difference, I said, between the things I wanted and the things that I could apparently have, and until I had finally and forever made my peace with that fact, I had decided to want nothing at all. (outline, rachel cusk)

Know that the desire to be perfect is probably the veiled expression of another desire—to be loved, perhaps, or not to die. (how to be perfect, ron padgett)

Last year I abstained / this year I devour / without guilt / which is also an art (you are happy, margaret atwood)

🎵 MUSIC NOTE — what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

Spencer's playlist's comprised of an hour and a half of songs that sound nothing alike and don't make any sense together. OK, that's hyperbole, but I do want to clean it up a bit more before I make it public; I'll list a few I'm biased toward.

buttercup — Hippo Campus

Waste — David Vertesi

Private Life — Oingo Boingo

I Am My Own Muse — Fall Out Boy

And just for fun, other stuff I like to imagine her band covering:

What the Hell — Avril Lavigne

good 4 u — Olivia Rodrigo

Call Me — Blondie

Killer Queen — Queen

Eventually I'll update her setlist tag with more, it's kind of a catch-all for music that reminds me of her.

📚 BOOKS — how were they at school? what is their best subject? what is their worst subject? do they have a favourite subject?

In most of her fellow students' view Spencer was that peak annoying overachieving teacher's pet with no personality beyond homework and fewer friends. She was a diligent, quiet student who didn't rustle feathers and put in rigorous work, much to the pleasure of her teachers... but she wasn't ever good at learning. Every high grade she got was a product of hours poured into homework, extra reading, and self-teaching—and especially of her parents' intense standards. No matter how much effort she put in, how much she pushed herself and memorized and stayed up late studying, she was always little more than average. She didn't have a favorite subject—she moved quite often and changed teachers frequently, and found the subject unimportant in comparison to how it was taught.

Language arts was her particular kryptonite, though; Spencer is not a woman built for metaphor and she finds both reading and writing more difficult than they're worth. She isn't illiterate, but doesn't think of writing as an art, and her attempts at it... leave something to be desired. Nor does her work as a lyricist shine with wordplay and mastery. Band would be an obvious answer for "best subject" but she was never actually taught it or music theory—it's the one thing she's managed to pick up under her own power. She's alright with numbers, and did fine with geometry though not so much with algebra... The one good memory she does have in education was an especially patient and hands-on geographies teacher, and that remains the one time she actually excelled in a subject.
