#I don't know. I think if I went to a Car Seat Headrest or Mitski concert I would just be fucking sobbing on the ground the whole time

[meoware]

The most fucked up things about live versions of songs is when you can hear the crowd singing along. That shit always gets to me it kills me

[eazy-peazy54]

🎪 TADC MUSIC HEADCANON TIME!!!

🎪 Caine: Caine is SUCH a swing music guy. i swear to god. (possibly They Might Be Giants too? idk)

😵‍💫 Pomni: LOUD SHIT. REALLY FUCKING LOUD. Like breakcore, jungle, dnb; she prolly grabs those "30 MINUTE ADHD CURE" playlists off of Youtube. Possibly Girls Rituals and Black Dresses.

She's impartial to metal music. Kind of likes it, not much though. also Dad Rock.

Loves Radiohead, maybe even Car Seat Headrest (she would never tell ANYONE that though.)

🐇 Jax: Rap, and really stupid music. He would like Kendrick Lamar. And Queef Jerky. (This is an ad for Queef Jerky please listen to them 🙏)

Although, I do think he would LOVE Michael Jackson. I don't know where this headcanon comes from in my brain, but i think he knows the thriller dance by HEART. He played Michael Jackson: The Experience RELIGIOUSLY as a child.

He also likes Tenacious D.

👗 Ragatha: She is such a Mitski Gal. I cannot lie. She would listen to Mitski, Beabadoobee and Laufey like her life depended on it. Also metal (/hj) Also, classic stuff too. Possibly rock. Dad rock. Probably a Swiftie too.

Jax put her on to Tenacious D, and she loves them.

She is so tragic, so she listens to Böa too. 👑 Kinger: NO MUSIC. Maybe jazz. Or classical. Or like. brown noise? idk.

If he DID listen to music, it would prolly be some shit like the stuff your parents listen to that they got off of tiktok. like Ed Sheeran or Harry Styles. and he wouldn't even like it that much.

Or he'd be a Weezer fan. Whatever floats your boat.

🎭 Gangle: I won't lie, I really fw the "Gangle reads fanfics" headcanon, so I think she listens to character playlists.

She probably is a Swiftie. Probably found the song Devil Town from a playlist and added it to hers. Listened to Will Wood once, never went back. She also loves Hozier.

She definitely makes her own playlists. She most likely has like 90. (i am projecting.) She also listens to podcasts, because we LOVE a podcast girlie! She would listen to the Broski Report and Very Really Good and all the swears would be bleeped.

🧩 Zooble: Again, loud music. They probably listen to a LOT. All the shit listed for Pomni, and Jax (they hate to admit that they like the same shit as Jax, but they claim that they have liked them before he did.)

Also, doesn't admit it, but they love Lemon Demon, Tally Hall, and Will Wood. Loves Mitski too.

Big Girls Rituals and Black Dresses fan. Says that "they're so real." They got Pomni into them too. Unironically listens to Radiohead.

🫧 Bubble: Eats the music.

daniel profeta Interview

Hey y'all!! Back around March/April 2023 I was approached by a diy "magazine" that was more of a blog about artists in Georgia, to record an interview about my music and other projects. Sadly they decided against using it, but they just sent me a transcript so I could post it myself. It's slightly disjointed, but maybe you'll find some enjoyment out of it.

daniel: My dad got a used acoustic guitar when I was 13, and I kinda stole it to practice with all the time. So began my awe-inspiring journey of entirely mundane events. I taught myself how to play and sing with YouTube and just went forward from there. All throughout my life I've had problems expressing myself, but music, and art as a whole, have become my voice and taken over nearly every aspect of my life.

With hindsight I realized this always was the case. As a kid I was always enamored with storytelling… From reading for hours a day to attempting and failing to write a fantasy novel, from crying listening to Elliott Smith, Alex G, Mitski, Car Seat Headrest, Phoebe Bridgers, and countless other artists and bands to writing and recording hundreds of songs that never saw the light of day, my life has been a string of "failures" that's slowly becoming a vessel for expression. Meeting that one person who knows your songs and sings along with you, knowing you wrote something that meant anything to another human, makes me feel less alone. That's what it's all about.

I owe a lot to my parents for cultivating an appreciation for art, and while they never exactly "approved" of my life choices (laughs), they never really tried to stop me. Maybe they should have tried harder, who knows. When I was really young my mom tried and succeeded at getting me interested in acting in films. While I started as an extra in shows and movies like Stranger Things and The Hunger Games (it's a lot easier to be a movie extra than many people think), I eventually started getting actual roles. I've been in a few horror short films, and if you ever try to talk to me about horror I will talk your ear off… But the highlights of my acting career have been working in the incredible educational series Super Science Showcase as the geeky character Caleb, and meeting and working with the innovative director Barry Jenkins on the show The Underground Railroad (while my role was fairly small in that, that week of filming was one of the most surreal and rewarding experiences of my life, second only to playing live music and having people scream my lyrics in my face).

I was homeschooled growing up, and my family was forced to move around a lot as we struggled to find affordable housing and jobs. The cool thing about being homeschooled is you kinda set your own hours and have a little more free time, but the bad thing (for me) about homeschooling was the feeling of isolation and inability to do much besides write and try to make stuff. I wasn't allowed on the internet until I was 14-15, but then it was like a whole new world opened up for me.

One interesting thing about trying to create this life is the weird relationship most people have to it. Like, no one supports you unless you're successful, yet it's almost impossible to be successful without support. For example, I have a YouTube channel where I have uploaded nearly 2000 videos over the course of 3 years (yes, I know I have no life, don't rub it in) that's just called "daniel profeta" (stylized lowercase cause I'm cool). In the last few months I went from having 1000 subscribers to having 25,000 subscribers. My point being, "overnight" success is only real to people on the outside, people who don't see the thousands of failed attempts. People who don't hear the conversations where everyone close to you tells you to give up. Every step of the way there are opportunities to learn and grow and adapt, but you must be willing to block out the noise and get up every time you fall. That's the realest thing people who make art will learn, not everyone will like what you're doing. It takes time and effort to find YOUR people. But just know they're out there, and never give up.

I never had formal training of any kind, for acting, writing, guitar, vocals, bass, piano, recording, editing, the list goes on. Quickly I learned that I would never have the equipment, connections, or resources that many others did, but that's where you become resourceful. I am forever indebted to lo-fi music like Car Seat Headrest, The Mountain Goats, Bright Eyes, and Daniel Johnston, because without them I probably never would have had the courage to start. The ethos of DIY is one outside of gatekeeping and elitism, the ideas and community are open in mind and heart. We will "make it", and we will do so on our own terms. So, to keep this explanation brief, I have made multiple albums of music with no "real" recording equipment and recorded music videos myself with a crappy camera and some friends. I play all the instruments and do all the mixing myself. It's incredibly fun yet tedious, but the feeling of uploading or playing something is the greatest feeling in the world.

Your question was if my road was a smooth one, but I would say there really wasn't a road at all. Just foreboding uncharted wilderness with a few guiding lights of inspiration to help me on the way to creating the life I hope to have. But the way I see it, each failing, each stumble, and each limitation were just blessings in disguise. Take my music for instance, I used to feel ashamed of the low recording quality of my early work, but now I see it like a badge. It's honest, raw, and ultimately more powerful and unique. And the people I've met are some of the most driven and ambitious people in the world. We will make it, and when we do everyone who doubted will eat their words (laughs again), not that it matters. To quote Frank Lopez Jr. "Probably won't taste like the blood sweat and tears and the fear of regret and the ever elusive 3% chance I’m going to make it."

My main thing right now is music, and I play all over Atlanta and the rest of Georgia (if any venues or people with cool basements hears this and wants to book me, hello…. My name is Daniel, and I'm a pretty cool guy who's fairly easy to exploit. Feel free to reach out as I'm nearly always desperate for work) and hope to start playing more states soon. I currently don't have a band (if any cool people hear this and want to join my band, hello…), so my live shows are a mix of covers and original music done with an acoustic guitar. Folk music, punk music, indie rock, confessional songwriting, and the heaviest industrial metal/noise music you've heard since Swans. Or 100 Gecs.

But I am most proud of my recording efforts to be honest. The website Bandcamp has been a godsend. One of the only companies that fairly pays artists right now (looking at you Spotify…), Bandcamp is a place artists can upload music and charge for it and whatever. Anyways, I have 2 full albums and a 25 minute EP on Bandcamp and on my YouTube channel. I recorded many many songs and sequenced albums before this, but none of that has seen the light of day.

The first album is called Mania Machinations and it was pretty depressing to make and to listen to. But it was incredibly therapeutic to me, it felt like casting out demons. There are also a few songs I still think are really pretty, like the song Go to Bed which is about that feeling I mentioned earlier. I remember I was on a call with someone I trusted for hours and at the end they told me I should stop trying to make music because it didn't sound good. They told me I was going to end up broke and homeless and that I was pretty stupid for even attempting to do this stuff.

To me, the point has always been about expression and catharsis. And once I found a few people who my messages resonated with, then the point expanded to almost a group therapy thing. Casting out demons. So anyways, I got off that call that fateful night at 5 am and went to my room and wrote Go to Bed to try and describe all the thoughts in my stupid head. It started out bitter, but then changed and became something beautiful.

The second album is Paper Skies, and in that one I tried to adopt a character to live the life I want to live. Themes of touring, meeting people, and still not quite finding whatever it is I'm looking for. Ideas of ascending to the stars by shooting for the moon. Lots of pipe dreams and sad breakup songs. But about halfway through, the "character" starts to fall apart as imposter syndrome takes hold. In the end I go back to themes of mental health and isolation. This album is lyrically super meta and kind of pretentious, but when I wrote it, it didn't feel that way.

And my latest project is an EP called The Sighting, which I highly recommend as a starting point if you want to listen to my music. The Sighting is titled to sound like a UFO encounter. I tried to tone down some of the darker elements, and I just really like the way this one turned out. I'm a big album person, and when I write I try to sequence things right. Everything has purpose and is tied together thematically, and in this case I was thinking of the future. Of the possible end of the world or breakdown of society as we currently know it. But instead of making songs about that, I just used a post-apocalyptic setting as a backdrop for a bunch of songs that at their heart are love songs. The music videos I made I'm really proud of, especially one called Lighting in a Bottle (which was inspired by Elliott Smith's video for Coming Up Roses).

Oh, almost forgot to mention this, but if you download any of my music off Bandcamp you get access to liner notes and cool artwork. Also, exclusive to The Sighting there is a pdf that serves as a book of short stories to flesh out the post-apocalyptic world. There's a lot of recurring themes and motifs in my work, and a lot of them get explained in much further detail. Plus, they took months to write so it'd be awesome if people got to read them.

Finally, I'm currently obsessed with YouTube. On my channel I talk about music, weird media, horror, and make video essays and commentary style videos on pretty much anything I'm interested in. Every now and then I go live and play music. I think I'm funny, maybe you will too!

The music industry is so vast, I don't think I can even begin to predict how things are going to shake out, I can only speak to my little bubble. But one thing I know for certain, you'll be hearing about me and my associates more and more as the years go on. Just kidding… Or am I?

In all seriousness, I am seeing some interesting trends develop among people my age (I'm 19) {note from current me: I'm 20 now lol}. More and more bands like, I don't know, Pigeon Pit, are finding success. The Front Bottoms are getting huge. Phoebe Bridgers is a cultural icon. People like Mac Demarco are able to release music on Bandcamp and actually become millionaires. Some would have you believe music is dying, I believe there has never been a more interesting time in music. The variety, lack of extreme censorship, ability to find fans and friends without needing a record label, power to play almost anywhere, at this point all you really need is patience, drive, determination, and something to say. Everyone has something to say.

Indie rock and psychedelic rock seem to be making a comeback into the mainstream, and so does pop punk and nu-metal. Lots of genres being mashed together to create new things. 100 Gecs basically made a whole new genre super popular. An artist called Weatherday made one of the coolest albums ever only a couple years ago. Will Toledo went from recording albums in his car to playing big venues.

The world seems to be able to tell when an artist is being real, so my advice for artists that want to find lasting success would be to do whatever you want. Don't worry too much about trends, there's a place for pretty much everything and you'll have way more fun making the weird stuff you want to make instead of making something that looks or sounds exactly like whatever happens to be popular at the time. Sure, the culture shifts, but it's never boring.

That's my whole thing, at least art is never boring. I can try to approach life as an adventure instead of as a terrifying slog through hardship and pain. Whether or not I'm deluding myself doesn't really matter at that point. Perspective is like 50% of your entire outlook and attitude I've come to learn.

thanks for reading, if any blogs wanna interview me and also not be too scaredy-cat to publish it:)

[freddie-77-ao3]

YAY!! Thanks for the tag, @ebony-reine-vibes!

For your solangelo song: 💯. gonna be honest, haven't listened to this song before (i have very specific music tastes okay?) but "for once you let go, of your fear, and your ghosts" ? perfect, gives me a GREAT idea for a pre solangelo post three days in the infirmary oneshot.

For your malconnor song: i've never heard this song before in my life but it's a vibe. i think that this definitely could fit malconnor-- more likely to be connor's view (malcolm's in love too but definitely more pessimistic even when everything's going well)

now.... for a couple of my own:

it's gonna be hard to just pick a couple so. this might get a bit out of hand.

summertime by my chemical romance reminds me of annabeth, thalia, and luke. if you want it to be ship, thalia/luke. which i don't ship but. it would fit. also reminds me of solangelo a bit.

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W also by my chemical romance makes me think of clarisse/chris/silena/beckendorf. i could do an in depth analysis if anyone wants but also it would be SAD so.

moving away from MCR, (even though Gerard Way is PART of MCR), Brother by Gerard Way reminds me of Thalia and Percy (as a friendship)

Oh Glory by Panic at the Disco makes me think of Clarisse. I was going to say Drew originally, but definitely makes me think of Clarisse at this point-- if not the whole clarisse/chris/silena/beckendorf relationship. Mostly Clarisse, Chris, and Silena but.

I've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth (summer song) by fall out boy is malconnor to me. pre relationship so like. maybe height of titan war? between BOTL and BOM.

Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade is tratie maybe?

President Perfect is Jason Grace core i don't make the rules

Anklebiters by paramore is what Piper could have been if rick riordan could write female characters without misogyny

Little Lion Man (mumford and sons) is sally and percy

so is class of 2013 by mitski.

bodys by car seat headrest makes me think of lee/luke

so does there is a light and it never goes out by the smiths

Achilles Come Down is the Clarisse and Percy friendship after BOM

A Trophy Father's Trophy Son is Lee. With Apollo, obviously, and his mum but also maybe luke a little bit (even if that's not what the song's about)

Sps by Hot Mulligan is Drew Tanaka

Don't Go by Bring Me The Horizon is also malconnor. not gonna make much sense if you don't know my versions of the characters though

Sweater Weather is honestly percabeth

also Break Me Out by the rescues has been in my notes as a cecil/ellis song for literally years

bubblegum bitch by marina is drew tanaka (most of the electra heart album is)

Arms Tonite by mother mother is LITERALLY ruegard

Brother's Song by Brand New is camp half blood during sea of monsters-BOTL (prior to actual battle)

Friends by Ed Sheeran is also malconnor i'm sorry

Time Machine by state champs is the michael and clarisse friendship

heroes by emmy curie is SUCH an Annabeth Chase song. like. post hell annabeth talking to 12 year old annabeth

hero of war by rise against is clarisse after battle of manhattan. just. so disillusioned. she wanted to be like her dad as a kid and then she WENT to war and she's horrified. she killed people. demigods. she-- her dad was proud of her for murder. that's gonna be her legacy. she's horrified.

Daylily by movements is Malconnor-- connor speaking to malcolm

no point pretending by noahfinnce is malcolm

anyway i could go on but i feel like this is.... definitely too much already considering i gave up on the analysis too. yall can ask for explanations though.

✨️TAG GAME TIME✨️

a song you associate with a book character or ship (name the character/ship please and thank you)

reminds me of cardan. no I will not elaborate you either get it or you dont.
