okay welcome to my second šbj ted talk 😌 today we are discussing (i am rambling on about) composition bc wow!!!!!!! the boys done outdid themselves.
i will be making references to my post about jure and the drums, so if you want to read that first it's here.
because like. isn't it funny how in that drum ted talk, which i wrote and posted hours before the animated video came, i talked about how the beginning of the song, the main riff part with its unexpected drum beat and patterns, feels like it's stomping, and then the video came out and the character stomps away (okay walks with attitude) that whole section? ANYWAY
compositionally speaking i think this one is one of the most interesting JO songs bc it has multiple type of beats, vibes and sections, that go together very well, and they've not only composed the changes between these variations in a clever way, they've also written a song that really allows each member to shine. it's a true band song to me and i loooove that.
note: though nothing i say here is like unique to this song, these aren't like rare or unusual tools they use here. i just think that this song highlights many of them really well.
the first details i want to talk about are certain melodies/chromatic ascensions or decensions. i am unfortunately not physically in a place where i could check exact notes, pitches, keys or anything, so i'm going by ear and i do not have perfect pitch sooo let me live.
but have you noticed that the riff section ends in the guitar doing pretty much the exact opposite as the vocal descension? not after every round of the riff, but before bojan starts singing again. the guitar ascends, chromatically, it goes up note at a time. i don't know if it's the exact same notes in reverse, but the effect is the same but in reverse. now, that ascension does not end on a note that would be as satisfying to end on, no. it creates a sort of tension: we have to go somewhere after this note, we can't stay suspended here.
but you know how the line "šta bih ja u ovoj crnoj noći bez tebe radio?" goes down at the end? the singing melody descends, chromatically, and it's very satisfying for their listener bc it follows the scale that we're used to in most western music. it ends on a note where it feels good to either keep going, to a new section, as the song does at first, or end it there, as the song also does in the end.
and i'd argue that in the beginning, that bit, the melodic descension down to where the whole band kicks in and starts stomping away, highlights the mood of that section and the purpose it serves in the song. like i keep saying, that part sort of stomps, and it's like.. the part of the song that chugs forward. it has this feeling of going up and down (a good vibe to jump or nod your head to, or walk or stomp to, no?) but it also has this feeling of going forward. the descending melody kind of sends it on its way and we're all going with it.
and that tension carries the verse, which does not have the same forward drive as the riff part. but we have been, melodically, brought to a place, with that guitar ascending, where we want to hear more. so we stay there, with the verse. and where does the verse ultimately take us? back to the stomping riff, to chug forward again. without the riff bits the verses would feel like they're left suspended in tension.
and does it feel like the line "šta bih ja u ovoj crnoj noći bez tebe radio?" is either longer or shorter than you expected, or it has an unexpected rhythm to it, especially for it's place in the song?
because these little moments that are rhytmically unexpected, like the "šta bih ja..." line, and the drum syncopation, where a hi-hat crash comes a beat later than you expect in the riff section, they create moments that pique your interest as a listener.
well, it does have an unexpected rhythm and an unexpected time signature. Two bars of 4 and one bar of 2, with the vocal line overlapping with the 1 of the next bar, if i counted right. (disclaimer: if i got it wrong i learned to count as a dancer, not as a musician lmao). and i think that all of that also plays super well into everything i talked about before, and also everything i talked about regarding the drums in the riff section.
and they're small enough decorations that we're not venturing off into like prog or jazz territory, the song remains in a poprock world compositionally speaking, and the tempo doesn't change until the faster section in the end, which makes it all easy and pleasant to listen, but they change things up just enough to keep the listener super hooked. and then of course the tempo change at the end, at least, will challenge anyone just absentmindedly tapping their foot along like it's backround music, to really pay attention. and i just think it's very clever.
and then the "a ja samo čekam.." part is also an interesting part, bc as i said in my first ted talk, it switches between a more aggressive straight forward beat and a more groovy beat, and that's super clever, bc like. if it was just the aggression through the entire part, it would most likely get a bit exhausting and a bit too much for the composition. so by alternating between the aggression and the downright dance-vibe of the groovy beat, the composition creates progression. so that even the most aggressive bit of the song isn't just... screaming into a pillow, it's going somewhere. shoutout (shautaut) to the bassline in these bits as well!! the bass actually provides a lot of melodic components in that section, bc the vocal line is super one note. it's smart to elevate the bass like that.
and THEN!! the faster bit at the end!! suddenly we're going all arctic monkeys aren't we, and i love it, give me all the straightforward 2010's brit rock vibes and i will eat it up. and this part is like.. releasing everything. all of the tension that has built up, we've kind of reached where we've been stomping off to, and it's time to let loose. and so they do. and then collect it all together with a final "šta bih ja u ovoj crnoj noći bez tebe radio?" and this time we end on that satisfying final note and we're here, we're a little out of breath, but we've arrived and we've got all the jitters out and we're done. excellent way to end the song.
and this is getting extremely long now so i think we have also reached the end of the ted talk thank you goodbye.

(Violetbirdie here) I think it's complicated due to a variety of issues. 40k as a franchise is huge, but it isn't the sort of thing that tends to have overlap with tumblr type fanspaces. It also doesn't help that 40k is a fractured fandom featuring tons of different factions, so it's not like a standard fandom where there are main characters and a main story that people will always flock to. The primarchs are the closest thing we have to that, which is why there is naturally more content for them. In addition, fandom itself is in a bit of a flux state and has been ever since the 2018 nsfw ban which caused a lot of people to leave for twitter, which is now undergoing its own huge changes right now (and I just hate twitter on principle).
I suppose the one thing I think would help, would be somehow getting the 40k tumblresque fandom space more consolidated as a whole. Like, somehow have a blog that is popular for all factions that posts headcanons about everything, thus getting people interested in parts they don't normally think about. Because 40k is a huge time investment to learn about. I've been listening to audiobooks for what feels like nonstop for over a month, and even then I could only ever feel confident telling people about Emperor's Children. So it naturally is harder for new people to get into the fandom and focus on some of the smaller things because there is just so much. It's almost how I view your blog. I check it daily for fun art/headcanons/just general character stuff, and you made me more interested in some of the captains and such. But even then, you have your focuses. So a space even more general where someone would reblog art from everything 40k would likely be nice? Maybe I just miss the livejournal days of fandom. As far as more engagement, I think having silly things like character weeks which encourages people to draw or write or talk about specific aspects is a huge benefit. It sets a schedule and makes people feel like they are shouting less into the void.
But as someone new here, maybe its my weird perspective, but I don't feel like things are getting less popular. If anything, from just checking AO3, it seems like things are only getting more popular for less of the reddit type and more for the Tumblr wanting to see hot dudes and their complicated feelings type. Also more people are getting into 40k in this side of the space through rogue trader. Like people I never talked to about 40k are starting to look into the series because they played Baldurs Gate 3, and needed a new RPG to play, and conveniently Rogue Trader is filling that for them. So, I'm optimistic if anything. Sorry about the long ramble! Just kinda dumping my thoughts out.
I love Tumblr because, unlike Twitter or Bluesky, it allows for way longer, way more elaborately structured posts. I love it when artists don't just slap their pics into a post and be done with it, but instead add stuff like maybe "I read this book, here's a quote, and it gave me this mighty need to draw this". Or "please listen to this music here while looking at my pic! It goes perfectly with it!". Or just a multi-paragraph-essay (preferably very unhinged) about the character in the upper left corner.
This in advance, so you can see I'm totally with you on the "miss Lifejournal"-thing, because blogs are so much better than just 500 characters, four pics and nothing else. And why I think Tumblr is a very good replacement for Lifejournal.
The multitude of Tumblr-blogs with their many different angles are such a treat and provide such a rich ecosystem! I follow artists posting exclusively admech-stuff, others solely Drukhari, some writers focussing on just one Astartes Legion ... it's phantastic and the depth of their niche-knowledge is mindblowing.
I agree with you that this will be overwhelming for new fans coming from rather monolithic stuff like Rogue Trader. And the key to keeping those new people involved and making them feel welcome is showing them all this variety without scaring them away.
Maybe this new feature Tumblr is working on, can be helpful here. I haven't read much about it yet, but it seems the "Community"-feature has the potential to bundle stuff in a way that's more approachable for new and old fans alike. Maybe there's room for your idea of having "character weeks" (I like that! Sounds very MacDonald's. I'll have Fabius with extra pickles, please! 😁).
I'm sharing your optimism that both the new games and maybe the new series/movies will bring a lot of new fans over and some of them may even stick around. I am a bit wary that there's the possibility of a MCU-situation starting to build up, but since Warhammer-lore is in a constant state of flux anyways this might just add some spice to the mix.
So, yeah, hope for the darkest of futures!

Portrait Of A Woman
Yes, another version of this. Deal. 😆
I'm always changing and growing, revising my life and what I'm blogging about. I joke that I'm a gossip columnist (because I do refer to other celebrities besides Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles), but it's only to share my other interests.
So what are my interests? The purpose behind this blog?
Many things. I title it Ramblings Of A Writer for a reason. I write and boy, do I ramble!
I’ll also be redoing my masterlists to make it easier for folks to find certain posts. I won’t be redoing posts—no need to do that, but perhaps reposting information being redone. Like “Version 2 with new stuff” or better organized information and having those on the masterlists instead.
Let's begin with me:
Who am I?
My online nickname: Raye
Pronouns: She/her
Astrology: (Western) Pisces, (Eastern) Metal Monkey
Country: United States
I am anti (and I make no apologies):
Anti Danneel/Anti Elta
Anti Misha
Anti AAs
Anti Destiel
Anti Hellers
Anti Cockles
Anti Abuse
My ‘custom’ tags:
#Jensen Supportive (I believe I'm the originator)
#Music Choices by lightofraye
#lightofraye on abuse
I also frequently use #Jensen Concern, though I am not the originator (like I thought I was!).
What I’m reading:
Fictional: The Dresden Files, currently Battle Ground and Peace Talks
Non-fiction: The Body Keeps The Score
Where am I at with my writing:
BA Script: Judging by the math… 1/2 of the way through. Loving it! First draft!
Pre-plotting my horror/thriller
Vikings? VIKINGS!
So many more planned. Someone knock out my muse. 😅
What am I watching?
Burn Notice (finally getting the last season!)
Daredevil (again!)
Once Upon A Time
Supernatural (forever and ever, ahem)
The Good Place
A Discovery of Witches
About this blog:
I really, honest to gods, did not start this blog to be an anti. I know my anons would disagree with me and claim I always “hated” Danneel, but that just isn’t the truth. I came to Tumblr to find a new kind of social media as I was feeling soured by Facebook, disliked how Twitter had changed, escaped Livejournal years ago, not a fan of Reddit, and the “newer” social media sites weren’t my thing. Plus I’ve kept seeing hilarious screenshots from Tumblr on Facebook and decided to check it out!
I initially started by following pages about Supernatural, Sam and Dean Winchester, the actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. I did not go seeking anti-Danneel posts; they more or less fell into my lap. When I started reading a few posts, something clicked in my mind, explained why I was struggling with how I felt about her. I kept analyzing her behavior for a long while, what she said, and thought maybe something was being seen by fans that wasn’t being seen by me.
The explanations made sense. I felt I could breathe again. That’s when I remembered the least recognized method of abuse: emotional and mental. That fit Danneel to a T. Especially the more I looked into what she’s said and wrote over the years and saw how Jensen behaved around her in videos and photos. Even when they were supposedly trying to push the “happy couple” narrative, it just did not look true. Especially given Jensen’s talent as an actor! If he couldn’t even fake being happy or in love with her….
So I’m an Anti-Danneel. I’m also Anti-Misha for his behavior over the years, towards Jared, towards Jensen, the lies he’s peddled and keeps peddling. (For instance, no, Castiel would not have ‘fucked’ Dean upon pulling him out of Hell. No, CW was not being homophobic.)
I am absolutely very pro-Jared and pro-Jensen. I know, I know…. “But Raye, you’ve written posts criticizing Jensen! How can you be pro-Jensen??”
My answer is a variation of this: “Because I care! I am not blind to the flaws of either men! I am wildly concerned about Jensen, about what seems—to me—as excessive drinking, ‘empty’ eyes, unhappy and stressed smiles.”
For the vast majority of the AAs, it seems I’m not pro-Jensen if I don’t see him as flawless, a god upon the perfect pedestal, the Ken doll That breaks my heart. He is flawed. He is imperfect. I see more than just the pretty mask. I want to see and know the man. He isn’t just a beautiful trophy for us to ogle.
He’s caught in a rock and a hard place and I acknowledge that hard. It’s just only the negativity is seen and not the love and support. 😕
What can I tell you about me?
I could say so much. I’m the third child of a family of four kids, and the only daughter. (So that was fun.) I’m a gamer, read comics (still read a few, such as ElfQuest), got into reading fantasy books (Dragonlance’s War of the Lance was my first!), have a massive interest in psychology, in wanting to understand the human mind. I’m fluent in two languages—English and American Sign Language.
Ah, that last one might surprise some folks. No, I am not deaf��but my parents, two of my three brothers, and everyone on my mother’s side of the family are. I half-joke that my first language is ASL, not speaking with a voice. It’s not a joke though; it’s more or less accurate.
I’m a writer. I’m working on several screenplays, have plans for novels, dabble in poetry. I’m an amateur artist—have sketched with pencil and Photoshop. I haven’t done so in a while, but I love art. I do a lot under the creative umbrella, and most of it is as an amateur—photography, wishing to learn pottery, and so forth.
I’m a mother. I’m divorced (happily so, trust me). I have born children of my body and I have children of my heart. I have suffered loss deeply profound that I wish people would talk more about so we all realize we aren’t as alone as we fear.
I’m an advocate for better, stronger laws against abuse, of the protection and services for survivors. Largely because I’m a survivor, but also because I give a damn about people. I’ve experienced it all, starting from childhood to my (thankfully) now-ex-husband. I am hoping to start a series of reels explaining the red flags of abuse, how to recognize them, how to get out if you are in an abusive situation, and what organizations exist to contact for help (if any do exist). Keep an eye out for those when I start posting them!
A link to the ever-in-progress masterlist.
First masterlist, largely anti Danneel posts. (My first true anti Danneel post, highly recommend reading it. I am reworking it.) Second masterlist, more anti Danneel. Third masterlist, assorted posts. The links will be defunct due to changing my Tumblr name. So just switch out rrahuntersblog to lightofraye and it'll work. I'm reworking those too! Bear with me! My first About Me. My second About Me Redux.

I kinda realised that Mr Komos' song, True Monster Heart follows the same beat as the Monster High Fright song, but the lyrics are like the corrupted version of the original.
Monster High Fright is about accepting
True Monster Heart is about rejecting
Kinda interesting when you think about it
AHHHHHH WHEN I SAW I GOT AN ASK RELATED TO THIS I FREAKED OUT DFGHNBGVFDSF TY FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING TO RAMBLE SOME MORE ABOUT ANON FOR REAL! (Also sorry for the late response, this post has been developing in my drafts for like at least a week now dfgfhng)
I absolutely agree with the conflicting messages between the two songs! I know the song focuses on the story of this universe's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the main verses, but the main focus of the song is that message of rejection of anything and everything human.
Also, because of the Jekyll/Hyde bits, it could represent the duality of where the story starts and ends in its interpretation of a "true monster heart." Instead of Mr. Hyde's human-ness making his heart "untrue," it was his utter rejection of & research into ridding himself of his Jekyll, as well as his hiding of the truth in the first place that caused him to be found out and exiled.
His heart being "untrue" had nothing to do with the fact he was half-human, because if it were, then Clawdeen and Komos's presence in and of itself within the school would've triggered its self-destruction. That was proven as a false interpretation by the story in the movie, so it's self-explanatory. A true monster heart is one of self-acceptance, despite one's flaws or differences. That's what Mr. Hyde, and Mr. Komos thereafter, had neglected to realize before Clawdeen proved the point.
Though, I've listened to both True Monster Heart and Fright Song a few times back-to-back, to try and get where you're thinking as far as the beat, but I don't hear it unfortunately (unless you meant the tempo of the song, then yes they do follow the same 120 beats per minute!).
The closest thing I can think of as far as melodic parallels between the songs is the chanting sections. The Fright Song chant is much quicker in the way it's sung compared to the chant in True Monster Heart, however. The whole of Fright Song's chant goes in 16 beats/4 measures, whereas True Monster Heart's chant takes twice as long at 32 beats/8 measures (I was a band/choir kid lol). It's mainly due to how the song kinda drags out the point, and it definitely feels like a nod to Fright Song for sure. Fright Song's chant is only there because 4/5 of the main ghouls were fearleaders, so it was sort of characterizing the cast before actually showing their characters in the webisodes.
---
Fun little headcanon/ramble that I forget if I ever mentioned about Fright Song, but with Holt Hyde being released in the 1st Signature wave with the rest of the the main ghouls and all, I think it was because he's intended to be the singer of the rap section before any subsequent content with the character was released (No offense but I don't think Holt DJs because he's a good singer sdfgbfds). This would line up with his current crush in canon with Frankie, as well as his former crush on Draculaura from either the diaries or books, maybe both? I forget. :'D Also I feel like Holt wouldn't hesitate to call Cleo vile immediately after saying she's charming either, he's very direct with his words. (I also interpret Jackson/Holt as bisexual because Deuce is included in the rap I DON'T CARE Y'ALL IT MAKES SENSE!)
Also I always interpreted the howl-like sound at the end of the rap as "Holt ran outta time/battery power for his music and transforms back to Jackson as it transitions to the rest of the song." It kinda works with how the beat kinda drops down with the howl, like a TV being shut off or something idk.
Ghoulia also debuted with Signature Wave 1 but she's only in like a second of the music video in the background, I figure it could've been budgetary reasons for the animation, to save on animating an extra character. Also I imagine flame-y hair wouldn't be very fun to animate in 2D, and Deuce's snakes moving on their own were bad enough I imagine to animate, so it begrudgingly checks out as to why Holt isn't in the animated bits with everyone else.
BUT I JUST WATCHED THE MUSIC VIDEO BECAUSE I WANTED TO FOR THE SAKE OF THIS POST AND THE GUY SINGING THE RAPPING BIT HAS, YOU GUESSED IT, A BRIGHT FRICKIN NEON RED LEATHER JACKET. He doesn't have the dual-toned shirt BUT IT'S WHITE AND THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME Y'ALL! XD
If any straws for these dumbasses can be found I SHALL GRASP THEM fr they're my blorbos :'D

Pls tell us about the divorce over fic
pffft yeah okay. but i warn, it's not as fun as it sounds. so. tw for an abusive marriage/relationship.
story time.
so those who follow me currently probably know me primarlily for being one of three people crazy over wishshipping or joey wheeler in general in the yugioh fandom. particularly writing a good 80+ chapter long fic.
however. this was not my first fic. my first fic... was for in space with markiplier.
for those who dont know, markiplier (yes, the youtuber) actually has his own series of (mostly) choose your own adventure videos. and theyre all connected. his last series of videos was split into two massive parts, and he did this q&a after it was all said and done and someone asked if he'd ever do a part 3.
he said, "no, that's up to one of you guys to write."
well after 3 days of obsessively checking ao3 no one had taken up that challenge and even though i had never written a piece of fiction in my life the hyperfixation was so strong i sat down and started writing.
and dear god something came over me. i had 8 chapters written in the span of a day.
for a while, id post two chapters a day. which is...insane. like why the fuck did i do that? but eventually i managed to narrow it down to one chapter a day (which i know is still insane and for some fucking reason is what i currently do when in my writing fits.)
being this manic long fic writer that came out of no where i started to get some attention. memes were made in support of my story. people were talking about it. hell, i started to make friends, really a first for me in fandom space. someone made a joke about making a discord server. i asked if that was a legitimate interest to anyone and i got an overwhelming yes from several people so, i made one.
my husband at the time, found out i was doing something different in my off time. i'd put the baby to bed and go to my computer and start writing. i was laughing a lot more and checking my phone a lot (for fic comments, a habit i still have while in my posting fits). finally he confronted me.
"What is it you're doing on your phone all the time?"
"I.... wrote a fanfic. I get a lot of comments."
"Is it a smut?"
annoyed, I confessed that yes, there were a few smut chapters. He asked if he could read it. I gave him the link.
he was deeply disturbed by the smut. (He didn't even read the rest of it. like....the actual story I was writing.) the smut? I mean dude you could go look at it but I mean it's pretty vanilla sex between two consenting fictional adults, but whatever. I knew he wouldn't like it. at this point in our marriage he had already stated everything I liked was annoying.
anyway. when he found out I had made friends... he got really upset. he didn't want me to have other "influences tainting my mind." i shot him back with the fact he has friends online, so why couldn't i? he didn't like it, but he warned me to be careful.
then i met sitch.
those of you who know me are nodding their head. ah, yes sitch. those who have stumbled upon this rambling probably can tell this is where the story takes a turn because i know how to set things up. by god ive written like 160 chapters of fanfiction at this point.
anywho. this guy comments on my fic and asks permission to make fanart for it. this was so fucking wild to me. fanart? for MY fic? like who would have thought. i reply enthusiastically with a yes and tell him im on tumblr so please tag me so i can see it. a few days pass and i get a dm. it's the same guy. he's made the fanart. i love it. we chat a little about the fic. about in space. about music. slowly it starts creeping into talking about life. about anything, everything. it was kinda wild how i had met someone and felt like ive known him forever. this of course, is sitch. when the discord thing came up, i decided to ask him for help, because i literally didnt even have a discord at the time.
sitch helps me with the discord. we find some mods. we open the floodgates. swear to god about 40-50 people come in. some are more chatty than others. we all chat like good friends. i update the fic daily. we all find out we relate to each other a lot. we have movie nights and game nights. i continue writing the fic, even getting help from sitch at this point. he's become sort of my beta reader. (and now he's my editor thank god the yujou means friendship people have no idea how blessed they are)
i realize. fuck. these people...really relate to me. like me even. and i like them.
and sitch....sitch in particular...i really like.
i am in deep shit.
at this point, my husband is making it well known how much he disapproves how im spending my time. not that... he wanted to spend time with me though? he locked himself in his office and would play his own games. what he didnt like is i had found people that i relate to. that i could talk to. meanwhile i was reaching the point i was afraid to say literally anything around him.
at this point, he started teasing me about "having a crush on markiplier" and he would "joke" about me leaving him for markiplier or some shit. He started arguing with me about sexuality and gender out of no where, knowing what my stance was on it.
I don't really want to get into what my breaking point was.
A few weeks went by. I started to confide in my friends, and I started to confide in Sitch. One night, my brain came up with some logic that if I told him about the feelings I was developing (because they were only growing) he would reject me and we'd laugh it off.
Unfortunately it wasn't so simple.
For a week we were in this odd stalemate. Living in different countries but talking constantly. Having essentially an emotional affair, but knowing there was nothing really to do. I had no belief that I could make it on my own, and I knew I would get a lot of backlash from my family if I were to leave my husband. The weekend came and my husband got it out of me. I had feelings for one of my online friends. And I had confessed it to him.
My husband took my laptop and went through the messages. All of them. i fled to my parents house and tried to warn sitch that he had my laptop.
The next day, my husband convinced me I needed to delete everything. The discord server. My Tumblr. Even the fic. He essentially convinced me I was at an all time low of horribleness, and I believed him.
A week later I couldn't take it anymore. I missed my friends. Id sadly felt more loved by them than anyone around me. Which yeah, is pretty damn pathetic. I left my husband, and found my friends had already made a new discord, waiting for me. They had downloaded the fic, which I slowly re-uploaded and eventually finished. And sitch and I slowly built our relationship, have now met in person, and we're hoping he's able to move down here soon.
So yeah. I wrote a Markiplier fanfic and it led to me getting a divorce. Which honestly, thank god. I don't want to think about what would have happened to me if I hadn't.

One of my (many) problems is that there's a lot of things I'm "interested in" where I'm not, exactly. Or if I am, it's less than people think. Lots of rambling about the way I'm interested in things because of my novelty-obsessed brain, under the readmore.
Lemme explain: like vtubers. I talk about them surprisingly often for someone who doesn't really watch any of them. There's a streamer I watch who sometimes vtubes and mostly webcams, and I have watched like two of them because they were playing Outer Wilds... But it's not like I follow any of them regularly, and it's not like I'm specifically into the vtuber community (no offense to any vtubers or their fans, it's just not my thing).
But I talk about vtubing surprisingly often because i have this ADHD brain that is addicted to novelty. I'm always thinking up ideas and going "what if you did vtubing IN SOME WAY THAT COULD ONLY BE DONE AS VTUBING BUT IS PROBABLY TOO WEIRD FOR MOST OF THEM TO DO", things like my "what if you controlled two characters?" post, or when I tweeted something like "what if you didn't use computers, and your avatar was just a puppet/marionette?" and so on.
It's not that I'm big into vtubing, it's that I see it and go "hey this could be used to do things that are difficult or impossible for other types of videos/livestreaming!" and I want to explore the ideas that brings up.
Same thing with furry. Don't get me wrong, I'm not weaseling out of being a furry (and no offense to any mustelids), I am definitely a furry.
But I think I sometimes give off the impression of being more of a furry than I am, because I see such possibilities for exploring new ideas in the realm of furry, most of them usually ignored. Things like "how do catgirls wear headphones?" (and more generally, the ergonomics of modern tech in world where people aren't always human) , the complicated sex determination and sex changing of many non-mammal species, the possibilities of senses that humans do not have, the completely different life cycles of some animals, and so on.
It's always interesting to me because it's new. It feels fresh and unexplored. I have read and watched and thought and wrote so much about humans, and frankly I have been vaguely bored with them since I was like 7 years old.
I crave novelty. In all things. And that's why subjects like vtubing and the furry fandom always attract me, at least conceptually. It feels like there's so much more to explore there.
But I just worry that it makes me come off as being more into it, for itself, than I am. And while there's nothing wrong with being into any of these things, for sure, it means I don't fit in well. I'm not into it for the same reasons as most fans, and I don't always align with their interests because of it.
It's like being a fan of a band, but only because you love their album art, and don't really care for the music. You can do you, but if you talk to a more traditional fan of the band you'll not have much to talk about, and they'll probably be offended at the very concept of how you call yourself a fan.
Anyway the fundamental idea at the core of this is how my brain is just addicted to novelty and new ideas. I have basically always been a fan of scifi and fantasy, and it's less that I love spaceships and dragons, and more that I get too easily bored when media DOESN'T have them. If the world of your book or show or whatever seems too much like "real life", I have a lot of trouble being interested.
Although to be clear, it's less that I need dragons and fantasy, as I need something new that you've thought about how it would make your fictional world different from our own.
A story that's just the modern mundane world but there's spaceships instead of buses, or a local zoo for dragons? Not really that interesting.
Although honestly a zoo for dragons has some interesting ideas. Just by thinking about how you'd keep dragons in a zoo, and maintain their safety and the safety of your visitors? That's interesting!
Because that's the thing that attracts me to stories like Star Trek. It's not just that there's a spaceship, but that the spaceship lets them tell stories they couldn't without it. You can have the crew visiting a whole new world every episode, and have that world be interestingly different from our own. You can tell stories about the dangers of traveling between the stars, in ways that couldn't come up if you just transplanted it into a story of a sailing vessel on earth discovering strange isolated island nations.
Although at the same time, I can imagine a story about the difficulties of traveling the pacific being very interesting to me, because of how you could go into the details of the working of sailing vessels. Like, go into how tacking works (which lets you sail up-wind), and maybe there's some issue with controlling the boom because you've taken damage to your boom vang. Explain how this works, and how your crew has to manage in the conditions, and that's new and interesting to me!
But too often I think stories tend to gloss over these sorts of details and explaining how they work, because they're trying to make the story more accessible. They don't want to have to teach you how this works, so they just explain it as far as "something is broken with the sail so we are having trouble getting where we're going" because they just need the ship to be slower than usual for story reasons. And that's fine, I'm sure you're telling a cool story about naval survival or warfare of whatever, but the new (to me) ideas about how sailing boats work is THE THING I'M INTERESTED IN.
Maybe it's not just my ADHD. Maybe it's also the autism. Like my brain doesn't get super interested in the human stories being told here with the technology as a backdrop, but you give me some neat new info about how the tech works and my hyperfixation brain grabs the popcorn and wants to learn EVEN MORE. Bonus points if you go into how this affects the society and people around it. How does the design of sailing vessels affect the society that operates them, and the people who crew them? Like, you can't just sail across the Atlantic with a crew of three on a sailing vessel in the pre-electronic age. You need more people than that just to keep the boat pointed in the right direction. So that determines the size of the ship you need, since you have to house and feed this crew for weeks.
Fundamentally I think part of why I think I have this friction with "regular fandom" is that the parts I find most interesting tend to be regarded as mere background details by others. Like the "how do catgirls wear headphones?" thing... You'll see a picture of a fit bunny-girl going for a jog and taking a selfie with her phone. The point is presumably supposed to be "cute bunny-girl!", and people aesthetically or erotically appreciate her, maybe even get gender/species/body envy from her...
Meanwhile I'm like "but how do her headphones work? Her ears are shaped differently and are on top of her head, not on the sides. The C-shaped design that humans use would make no sense. And how does the smartphone work if she's got paws? That's not as dexterous as fingers, shouldn't it be bigger to make it usable? A keyboard (like on a blackberry) wouldn't work either... The dexterity issue again. Maybe a joystick/thumbstick-like design, used with the center of the paw?"
And don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't appreciate the picture, it's just that I'm mostly appreciating it in a very different way than the average Bunny Girl Enjoyer. So if I talk to them we won't have much in common to discuss, even if we both like the same picture.
I guess the root of this whole thing and why it can bother me is that it sometimes feels that even when I have interests in common with others, I have them in a completely different way.
It's like feeling alone in a crowd, because I'm only in the same fandoms and sharing the same interests if you don't look too closely at why I like what I like and how I like it.

Okay so for college in September one task was to analyse three albums of your choice! The albums I picked were:
Moral Panic - Nothing But Thieves
Parachutes - Coldplay
Hurry Up We’re Dreaming - M83
I was talking to the Georges about it and figured there’s someone out there that would maybe enjoy my ramblings about the albums and songs! So I’ll upload it here :)
I would have written so much more but I had a limit of 1500 words and even this is over that 🤷♂️
My three favourite albums
1. Moral Panic by Nothing But Thieves
So Moral Panic is one of the best albums to exist. All the songs were so good that they added five extra unreleased songs to make Moral Panic II. For a 62 minute long third- studio album, you’d have thought they would have discovered their sound, but it is different to everything else they have made. Produced during the end of 2019 and being released after the first lockdown, the title was inspired by lots of social issues around the time. With so many different sounds in one album, from the love song ‘Impossible’ with the slow, sad tempo to ‘Can you afford to be an individual,’ challenging societal standards it’s certainly a mix of emotions. Lead singer Conor Masons vocals have always been exquisite, but this album really helps to bring it out with the different live versions available, including the O2 arena video available on YouTube. With easily recognisable guitar and bass riffs and Conor’s vocal range of B2 – D6, this album is the great goodbye to their sound before releasing Dead Club City, an experimental electro-pop album to introduce their new and different ideas. Now it’s time to go into the individual songs. The first track, ‘Unperson’, is a song that starts quieter, but gets into that heavy feeling very quickly. The repetition of lyrics helps to add to the feeling of confusion that was being felt, especially during that time of the year. Going from heavier music with talking into a quick break including softer singing helps to give that whiplash feeling the band are trying to construe. Then having the break of lyrics at the two-minute mark, and having the drums slowly start to increase in severity, just makes the starting song the best introduction to the rest of the album. Now, the second song varies as to whether you are listening to Moral Panic, or Moral Panic II. Whilst writing this, I am listening to the complete collection, and that is what I will go off. The second song is ‘Futureproof’, which just starts with the heavy drum and guitar chords. Yet again calming down slightly whilst Conor sings, as though they are trying to highlight them even more. Having both the lyric tone and the rest of the song start to decrease just shows how in-tune they are as a band. Also, Conor's breathy tones just really bring everything together. The change from ‘Miracle Baby’ to ‘Impossible’ just creates even more confusion about what is supposed to be going on. Going from songs questioning standards to a love song talking about how the love interest makes everything easier in life. And yet some lyrics could be taken in the wrong way. “I could drown myself in someone like you.” But maybe that juxtaposition is exactly what they are trying to do. The faint violin gives the track an almost melancholic sound, and Dom’s backing really makes it other-worldly. There is just a pause where no-one plays, and it goes into singing and that change just represents the entire sound of the album.
2. Parachutes by Coldplay
So, when I first heard we had to write about three albums, I was just going to do three NBT albums. But then I thought about albums that had changed me as a person. And I knew this album had to be done. Everyone knows this album because of ‘Yellow’ but it’s so much more complex than that. Released in 2000, it was post-Britpop and Coldplay were here to make a change to music. Following the release of Radiohead's album ‘Kid A’, the slow and melancholy vibes were exactly what people were looking for. Not only that, but the whole album was dedicated to the drummer’s mother who had died two months prior to the release. Considering the sad, atmospheric sound the band were trying to create, they definitely did a good job. Every song is similar, making it a great backing album for anything chill. It is the perfect soundtrack for studying, crying and trying to fall asleep. The first track of the album being ‘Don’t Panic’ really helps to set the mood for the whole album. The repeated guitar chords create a familiarity with the whole song, and the lower voice really does just make it exactly what they were aiming for. That familiarity sets itself into you for the entire album. Considering this was my top song last year, I think that says a lot about how my year went. The soft introduction into ‘Shiver’ is brilliant, that slow transition into the song is just what you are looking for. This song seems more upbeat as it goes on, almost giving the listener hope, with the drums creating a steady beat to rely upon. And then those first lyrics hit, and you realise that no matter how happy those melodies are, the lyrics will be sad. And that was exactly what they were aiming for. Deriving from artists such as Lou Reed, who did the same thing. Okay, I’ll do ‘Yellow’ next. Quite possibly Coldplay’s most popular song, with lyrics connoting love and admiration, it is almost a wake-up call between all the other songs. Whilst yes, the melody is the same, those lyrics are so much happier, almost as if Coldplay were trying to tell a story though the album. These lyrics show love, but based on the context of other lyrics, it may be unrequited. Hence the happy backing, but sad lyrics. This album is so complex, with so many different theories about what everything means. That is what helps to make the album as amazing as it is. And finally, ‘We Never Change,’ with its depressing guitar chords, doing the same thing repeatedly, being strummed harshly, is the perfect penultimate song. The lyrics slowly get more uplifting, changing the entire point of the album, is brilliant. The piano really does just round the whole ending to this song out. I simply have no words. The genius the band have to create a song with this much emotion, and lyrics the listener can relate to, is why this album is one of my favourites. Even adding a secret lasty track makes this album cool. ‘Life is for Living’ has simple plucking and is simply Chris singing along in the beginning. Violins then join in, and it makes it the perfect ending to a perfect album.
3. Hurry up we’re dreaming by M83
M83’s sixth studio album is exactly what you’d expect from a French electronic band. The experimental synth sound is certainly out there, but it works. The frontman had recently moved to Los Angeles and wanted to base the album off the excitement of discovering a new place and dreaming of your childhood, as he had moved from France after living there for 29 years. Being over an hour long, to ensure people don’t get bored, every song is different. I mean, there’s a whole song about frogs. And the title is in French. And it’s just a child talking. For the entire song. When I said this album is experimental and “out there,” I was not kidding. The use of a child throughout the entire song with upbeat, carefree melodies really represents the childhood M83 were trying to construe through this album. Each song blends into the other, making the whole album seem like a fever dream, yet again that idea of dreaming as a child coming into play. Let's talk about popularity. ‘Midnight City’ is the most well-known M83 song. Appealing to the idea of a futuristic world, with the synth repetitive notes is exactly what you would think a night drive through the city in 3000 would sound like. The lyrics explain how comforting the city is, and it is a tribute to the whole city. Every song starts off quietly, getting into the tune, almost cautiously. But some songs stay the same, including ‘Where the boats go.’ A slower song, acting as a break. ‘When will you come home’ into ‘Soon, my friend’ shows the deeper connection the artist has with the album, making it personalised and strengthening the bond. It makes the listener feel more involved, and all of these emotions being involved in one album is one of the reasons I love it so much. This complexity works with the nostalgia I feel when listening to the album, as it’s something I used to listen to a lot as a child. Many songs have an ambience of a forest, with the juxtaposition between the city making it confuse you, the same feeling you’d get when moving into a new place. One of my favourite songs from this album is ‘Steve Mcqueen’, purely because it builds up for nearly a minute and then goes into it, making it seem so easy to quickly change like that. The vocals are just enough, not overpowering the song but helping to add that backing that brings it all together. Ending with ‘Outro’, just as the album does. This song is exactly what you need to chill out, giving the album the kind of ending it needs. It prepares you to listen to it all over again. The break at the minute mark before the strings come back in with the singing just feeling like you’re being reborn. The constant switch in the album from being quieter to everything all at once is overpowering, but it works so well that it isn’t overwhelming. It’s peaceful

I've been following you for years now and am always amazed at how dedicated you are, Thank you so much for always keeping us updated!!
I've been curious about you if you don't mind sharing! Where are you from, how you discovered Hyukoh for the first time and what made you create this fansite? Do you know korean to some extent to perhaps understand their lyrics on a deeper level, in their original form? Have you ever seen them live?
I feel like I've known you for long but not actually lol. Thank you again!<3
Thank you, thank you! I try my best!
I’m from Denmark and I randomly watched a dance cover of Wi ing Wi ing and liked the song. Afterwards I watched the Panda Bear music video which includes the following lyrics; Being alone makes me feel more comfortable + Don’t ask me what kind of person I am cuz I too myself don’t know who I am – and I remember thinking; "yeah, this band now owns my ass". And then it all just spiraled from there.
I actually did not create this fansite it was created by a now retired admin in may 2015 and in august-ish 2016 I became a co-admin and I’ve been the only admin since late 2017-ish. Initially I was only supposed to post a couple small updates from time to time. But when the former admin withdrew I at some point just decided to completely take over the everyday management step by step. It seemed like a natural thing for me to do because I’m not really the kind of person who does things half-heartedly. It was very much trial and error but I found a way of doing things that worked for me. I applied to become an admin because I just really love their music and thought it would be a fun thing to do. I decided to go all in because it is kind of a way for me to keep up with the band and still get to experience their performances and events while living on the other side of the world. It makes me feel as if I’m not as far away from them as I actually am. I also really like that it’s something that other fans enjoy and appreciate!
When I became an admin I knew a little bit of Korean. It was always my plan to become fluent/better after I completed my education in early/mid 2020. But then in 2019 I sustained a brain injury and basically my entire life got completely fucked up – to put it mildly – and the Korean I knew (literally) got knocked out of my head. I did hand in my master’s thesis earlier this year (wooh!!) while still suffering from the brain injury (NOT wooh!!). But I’m expecting to fully recover sometime early next year – so my life is getting back on track. And I now understand some Korean again, but not on the level as before my brain injury. So, no at the moment I don’t know Korean well enough to understand the lyrics on a deeper level.
I have seen them twice! The first time at a festival in Korea in 2016 and then in concert in 2017. I know this sound sappy but seeing them live just makes me so happy and I always get teary-eyed! I just forget everything else and just gape at them while smiling!
It’s fun with the whole knowing-people-thing. You – the followers – see a side of me that people in my life actually don’t. They know I run this account and they know I’m a passionate person, but they (except very few) do not see it to the extent that you all do. Some also do not understand it – I have been doing this for 8+ years so I have reached an age where people think I’m getting too old to do this. But I do what I want and don’t want to wake up in 10, 15 or 20 years and realize I have no interests/hobbies and sense of self because I abandoned everything I enjoy in order to live up to other people’s boring-ass-expectations.
As always, I’m rambling – but you people apparently like it when I do that <3

Hi, I'm Victor!
-I'm 21 years old, pronouns are he/him. I'm a t4t exclusive, gay and trans guy (taken) so if I see you rebloging or posting terfy, transphobic shit or just being transphobic in general you will be blocked.
- I'm OBSESSED with Adventure Time and Fionna and Cake, it's my favorite show EVER! Other of my interests are Re-Animator, My Little Pony, old cartoons in general, hyperpop, chiptune music and more! (can't remember rn lol)
- Ice Royalty aficionado
- I love shipping gay shit so heads up to that lol. some of my fav ships are Gumlee/Garylee, Prohibitedwish, Patelgraves, Danbert, Perirep and Winterkov + I'm the creator of the Winterkov tag.
- I'm Autistic so please be patient with me!
- I reblog suggestive/sexual content sometimes, but never explicit stuff since I don't like mixing that kinda stuff in a same account.
- Flashing lights/Bright imagery ⚠️ EPILEPSY WARNING ⚠️ for photosensitive people since I reblog really bright artwork with eyestraning colors/effects.
- ‼️ Minors, Proship, Zoos, homophobic, racist, Pro Ana/ProED, ProSH, explicit sexual accounts, etc! DNI ‼️My blog isn't suitable for minors so please don't follow me. I guess interacting in a post that isn't sexual in any form is ok, but I don't feel comfortable befriending minors, nothing personal.
*As for the Proship, Zoos, Profic, Procontact, No-Contact, Plurs who think that jacking off to dog dick and accepting straight up pedophiles in the community it's a-okay, etc: FUCK. OFF. (i'm okay with ppl in recovery who don't do that kinda stuff anymore tho 👍)
- I'm a furry!
-I draw...
- I'm latino and speak Spanish so if you ALSO speak Spanish and share one or more of my interests please interact with me PLUHEASE :')!!!
- Tag where I just ramble and talk about my hyperfixations -> #Worm thoughts 🐛💭 -> Tag for drawings #Worm OCs 🖍️🐛 and #Worm AT OCs 🗡️🐛

[INACTIVE]
Info!(≡^∇^≡)
(Note: I LOVE reblogs!!!!)
Hello hiiii I've been inactive for MONTHS, I kinda forgot I had a blog that's 'under construction' and I decided to add a info page about myself for now until I start posting doodles and such. I've been apart of the creepypasta fandom ever since the early 2000's, when it was first starting out and becoming popular, and I've decided to ACTUALLY become apart of it, as someone people may hopefully know and recognize me for by my art contributing to the community. I also have tags to help people move around my blog easier because I tend to reblog a lot. #gaymer art is any art I draw. #Gaymer ramble is when im talking about something. #Gaymer reply is when im replying to an ask. And lastly, #rb just stands for something I've reblogged. #gaymer writings mean something I've written, such as a short story. This blog will have quite gruesome/explicit themes at times. It's Creepypasta after all. I will mention things quite frequently like abuse, sex, and drug use. I will probably have art and posts that may hint at sexual themes/NSFW, but I will say I will not be posting actual NSFW art or writing on this blog. The most you might see in my art are hickeys an a characters neck or suggestive hand placement, nothing much more than that. My writing or other posts that aren't art may be more detailed about it, but again, I will not full on write the actual sex scene itself, only what would possibly lead up to it and afterwards. In a basic summary, if any of this makes you uncomfortable, I will be making a tag on my blog for this kind of stuff, you can block the tag or me in general, for your own comfort. I don't mind. I'd rather everyone be comfortable and sure of what they're looking at and expecting when scrolling through my blog or finding my things. I want to clarify even though these themes will be mentioned on my blog such as abuse or rape, I DO NOT support any of this, as a victim of a few of these things myself. Here's a list of things that will be mentioned or shown in art on my blog: -Abuse(Mental, physical, verbal, and child abuse) -Sexual assult/Rape -Sex -Drug use(Weed included in this category) -Self harm/Suicide -Violence -And possible extreme gore ---
-I am always open to dms, and I can also be contacted via discord!
-You can call me Max, friends can call me Ben, and I go by he/him. I don't mind other nicknames as long as they aren't insults ^^
-My requests and ask box will most likely be open 24/7, but as said in my bio, I'm a slow poster and It might be months in-between updates, maybe weeks if I have time, it usually depends on my schedule. I don't typically do writing prompts or anything like that, but there might be a few exceptions in the future -My main interests will not be fully discussed and addressed most of the time due to this being a Creepypasta blog but don't be shocked if you hear a reference, quote, or straight up topic about the following; •The Walking Dead •Wings of Fire •Spongebob(yes I still watch SpongeBob and I'll say it proudly ╹▽╹) •Stardew Valley •Music •Movies/Shows •The Legend of Zelda (I'm a huge geek so don't ask about it unless your fine with a REALLY LONG post-😅) •I have terrible memory so I have no idea what else to add so expect the unexpected I guess🤷
-If not already obvious, this blog will MOSTLY be Creepypasta, but don't be shocked to find something different😋
-Please dni if you; are transphobic/homophobic, disrespectful to ships that aren't popular, engage in politics, easily triggered by the themes that will be used in my blog(Drug/alcohol and sexual themes. I want you all to be safe and I don't want to cause anyone hard times with my blog) or rude in general. I want my blog to have a safe vibe where people can find enjoyment and comfort rather than aggression and forced opinions
-A few of my ships that might have you apply to my dni include Jeff and Ben (they're both adults in my au and hc's, please refrain from pushing your opinions and hc's onto me for this, thank you) and Liu and EJ. These will perhaps be the two main ones on this blog, but I have several others as well. I am a multishipper, and therefore fully support and like other ships, such as Toby and E.J, and it may be possible to find such art consisting of different ships throughout my blog. Again, please dni if you are against any of this.
If you have any questions about my blog or for me, don't be afraid to ask! Have a safe and wonderful day/night and take care, your all loved and appreciated by someone no matter what!❤️❤️❤️
