This week I listened to "Just Existing" by daysormay

⭐⭐⭐⭐(4.5 out of 5 stars)

This one is going to be more brief since I had work and I'm tired...

I liked this album a lot! I'm a long-time fan of half•alive, and daysormay seems to have a similar vibe (alt-pop adjacent) and sound (lots of synths and electric things) to them while still being unique!

Anyway, enough yapping opinion time!

"Ego" dear lord this song is intense! It is so cool and I love every second of it. I hate putting the first song of an album on my top three but Jesus, I love this song. There are so many super cool lines in this song. There are some fun noises on this track, I'm a fan. There are a few different sections to this song but the end product is still really cool and works together amazingly! I kept getting different parts of this song stuck in my head throughout the week.

"Holding My Tongue" is a super cool track. I love the chorus on this one a lot. I like the drums too. The entire instrumentation is super cool. These guys have a really cool sound and I love how their music is produced.

"Everything is Changing" is my favorite of the more calm songs on this album. I think it sounds really sweet and is a really cool contrast to their more upbeat pop pop-sounding songs and I think they do it really well! Also, I am in LOVE with the line "'Cause I would rather fall/Than to not have jumped at all" augh. I love how it ends too with the more raw-sounding track.

Honorable mentions!! 🥳🥳🥳

"Running" is another quieter, calm song and it is really sweet and has some great lyrics

"Just Existing" is an amazing namesake track. This one got stuck in my head a lot. I like it!

"Thank you, and goodnight" is a great little track, it feels really raw and I love the more simple instrumentation and it is a super cool way to round off the album!

I love this album a lot and I do think I will be coming back to it over time and revisting this band!

I also was a little surprised to see Tessa Violet on it! That was cool. TBH I don't know a lot about them but I am a 2020 survivor so I am aware.

Find A Song about trying to make someone see you for what’s really happening in your life

Chin Injeti ft. daysormay - Make You Understand

“Make You Understand” was inspired by a melody Injeti put on TikTok that he then sampled with daysormay. The title is about trying to make someone see you for what’s really happening in your life. Stylistically, the production is all about dynamics on and off/loud and soft in order for the lyrics to shine through.

Added to FAS Spotify playlist rnb/soul/blues.

tav!Ren but you call him the fearless leader (or something to this effect) and he stares at you for seven seconds exactly before he goes 'OH THATS ME'

[frozenjokes]

to the anon that recommended the song Ego (by daysormay) as a cubscarian hotguy au song btw I just needed you to know you were extremely fucking correct. I think I had an autism moment the first time I listened bc it mega overstimulated me and I do think if I listened to it while driving I would crash however I really like it and it’s a banger song. extremely good. songs I can imagine Grian and scar fighting to. Cub is also there. lyrics and analysis below because we like having fun here

listening only a lot of this struck me as Grian but actually reading the lyrics for the first time this is also so extremely scar. they’re going through it together. being a little bit evil is enrichment for Grian though he needs to do something else with his time like pottery or a civil uprising.

hello cubfan135 does this even need any explanation. he is holding on for dear life and it’s NOT GOING WELL.

do you get it yet. do you see them. hi hello cubscarian it’s going to be great when you’re a functional unit.

hiya, dog here! this is for lav's listener design lab!!

Crow Folkestone, aka Freelancer/Voyeur/Deviant/Silly!

Crow grew up moving around a lot and with not great parents. When his powers started manifesting, his family treated him even more like the dirt on the bottom of their shoes. After Caelum appeared to him for the first time, he ran away from his family and went no contact with them

He's very much got a grunge/skater kinda vibe to him. A lot of thrifted and oversized stuff. Baggy jeans, big shirts and sweatpants, chunky sneakers, yk the vibes

He's transmasc (he/they/it), he presents pretty masc but he doesn't bind and has a pretty large chest, so he kind of appears androgynous because of it

Crow is white (irish/scottish)

About 25-26 ish?

Crow is chubby, with large thighs, a thick tummy, large chest, and the kind of arms that dads who don't work out but are still very strong have

Gemini

Crow's closest relationships are the D.A.M.N. crew. my version of redacted has them as a polycule! crow and gavin are primary partners though. they love their boys so much. and also caelum, but like. he's their son

Crow has a numerous amount of hobbies, from photography (loves bringing a digicam everywhere he goes, esp with the D.A.M.N. crew, and recording memories), to writing poetry, to singing and playing guitar/bass, and more! They love video games, and reading books, and watching videos, and writing, and hanging out with the crew!

Not technically a deity, but a hero from myth: Crow would be Patroclus. Their dedication to their friends and lovers is so strong they would die for any of them. They don't want to be the hero, and are uncomfortable with the attention it can bring, but they're thrusted into the role anyways and have grown because of it

Redacted Audio's D.A.M.N. Storyline!

Crow is incredibly dedicated and very understanding. Past relationships have made them very much a pleaser and go-with-the-flow about things (/neutral, some partners were good, most were not, but both experiences shaped him). They understand limits and don't expect anything in return, even if they secretly want someone to dote on them. Crow wants to be the muse and not just the artist sometimes. In the past they were more the one doing things for their partner/s, so having Gavin do things for them like they would do still catches them off guard now and then. For their friends, Crow likes to treat them almost like other partners; that same dedication is given to them as well. Crow likes making sure everyone is happy and is heard

Crow values being truthful to oneself greatly, as well as having love for humanity

just existing by daysormay !

Crow is the truest "listenersona" i have, so their design is actually based on what i look like irl! just with a few differences (eye color and some minor body details mainly)

Crow stands at 5'8 1/2, with shaggy/curly dark brown hair in a shag mullet with fluffy bangs. A small braid hangs from behind their ear, given to them by Caelum. They have brown eyes and freckles across their face and body. They have piercings on their face and ears (septum & paired nostrils, center labret, stretched ears [2g], four more piercings in each ear), and tattoos across their body. Recently he got on testosterone. He's pretty hairy. Almost like a cub?

Crow is absolutely a puppyboy. It's also a polyglot! He calls Gavin "playboy", as well as "lover boy". Absolute stoner. It's assigned the D.A.M.N. crew as Muppets. He is just chef's kiss.

This listener lab design is one of the coolest things ever! Is it weird to say thank you? I love when creators give back to their community like this, and this is such a good way of doing that!

ty again!

LaVeau-gue - design #002 - Freelancer - Crow - Redactedgender

Heyo! You're welcome for making your design, I don't think it's weird really, it goes a long way to remind people that artists and creators are in fact human and do not exist for the benefit and entertainment of fandoms or people (you wouldn't believe the sense of entitlement on some folks really) but enough about that, here's the design for crow!

Design Notes!

There's a little something I like to keep in mind sometimes and something that I have to remind myself about from time to time which is:

"Sometimes people don't want your extra touch, they just want you to draw something for them."

That is something I had to keep in mind for this design so instead of going on a tangent in regards to how my own, I'll just let ya know how I interepreted your notes:

In particular, I chose to just take your visual notes literally, making sure to incorporate the different piercings where I could make them visible. Other stuff like its haircut, freckles, eyes and hair type were just thongs I took at face value.

Now when it came to a few other elements, things got tricky:

You specified that Crow had tattoos but never specified what those tattoos were so I decided to improvise by incorporating barbs, the anarchist symbol, a broken heart, a "live" tatoo and a star om their arms since they seemed to make sense for his backstory.

In terms of fashion, I leaned into the skater/grunge aesthetic to create something easy, breezy that could fit the vibe but also felt androgynous whilst leaning into masc territory.

A few special tidbits I incorporated was the braid-by which I mean that I used a pink hair tie on it to colour match with Caelum and gave Crow a hot pink collar that I like to think he got from Gavin.

Crow genuinely feels like a character who doesn't see themself as the main character but perceivs himself as an extra in everybody else's life, its fashion does come from a more bold subculture but they also seem very much to be the type to be the lone skater dude. In conjunction with this, your pick of Patroclus was interesting as it general supports my theory that Crow likely doesn't see themself as their own person but as a part to other people's stories. As such, I felt it best to give crow an appearance that would match that, something that would at least look different to your average Joe but wouldn't seem to out of place in a city like Dahlia I'm California.

And that's your LaVeau-gue design! Hope you enjoy it! (Oh yeah I also changed the name to LaVeau-gue since I liked it more)
