I've always had this headcanon that James was able to play the Ukulele.

James, strumming on his ukulele: I am such a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great. You are just a fool to keep on pretending that you're loving me-

Keith, listening: wAiT-( shit oh mai gah, he found out, oh no, oh no)

James, looks over: Hm?

Keith: uhh, you have a good voice! :)) What are you singing about?

James: A... song, why?

Keith: Oh, no reason.

agent washington as a s/o headcanons

screen love - trifect • sweet boi - chevy • paris in the rain - lauv • sunkissed - khai dreams • fool - cavetown • your text - sundial 

hostility is the first thing that came to mind when describing the relationship between you and wash when you first met 

wash wasn’t exactly the most friendly person when you first met each other

you didn’t hit it off immediately or were on the best of terms when you first met but it was something you could always use to tease him about 

even after the two of you made up nothing more than platonic interactions happened 

every once in a while you’d make a joke here and there but that was usually as far as anything would go

it wasn’t until you were forced to interact with each other as one of the few people around after getting stuck in a random canyon after crashing on chorus

although you have to admit the experience was a bit… jarring to say the very least

while you don’t stop antagonizing him completely, you start to slow down after a conversation that the two of you have one night 

it’s not a particularly interesting conversation

at most, it probably lasts thirty minutes and you don’t really learn anything of real value 

even so, a conversation with someone late into the night gives you a bit of clarity on a person even if it was on somebody you wanted to avoid as much as possible

there’s not a specific moment when your relationship passed the line of friendship to romance

it was simply a progression that happened over time before either of you realized what had actually happened 

but if we’re being specific on when either of you realized the change in the relationship that you had, the first person who realized that change was washington

it’s a bit awkward, to say the least

you don’t really notice it though, wash’s personality wasn’t really all that different before he realized it after all

he doesn’t really vibe with the whole pda thing (and you don’t really care either way to be completely honest) 

because of this when the two of you are alone he’s a simp really soft

it gives you some serious whiplash sometimes

he unironically uses cheesy pickup lines on you 

wash: “i’m no photographer, but i can picture us together.”

y/n: “aw.” (sweetie… please no…)

corny 

the personification of a “how to be a good boyfriend” article (source: wikihow)

doesn’t really understand what you mean when you ramble about your “couple aesthetic” but he’s supportive

it doesn’t change the fact that he bought sky fall blue paint instead of bluebell blue paint but still, he’s trying

supports everything that you do 

wash literally has no interest in ghosts whatsoever but because of you he has now a complete history of every single haunting that have taken place in texas

neither of you says you’re together directly 

one day you just have a conversation and it just comes out 

y/n: “aw, babe, you had a crush on me? that’s embarrassing.”

wash: “we’re married.”

y/n: “still…”

everybody is just like ??? when did y’all get married ???

he’s just very proud 

the reason you don’t try to bring up your relationship with wash is that when you do he’ll never shut up about it 

it’s not even on purpose and he never realizes when he’s doing it

washington is just a very happy man

he loves you so much and it makes him very soft

☆ for Reginald and Diola!!

(I DIDN’T SEE THE THING IN MY ACTIVITY FOR THIS AND NOW I FEEL LIKE A FOOL. I WASN’T IGNORING THIS I PROMISE-)

Four more coming right up for my pal Regi (because a lot of her playlist is instrumentals I’m realizing) - And three tracks for my OG villain gal Diola (because one of her songs apparently didn’t have any lyric pages made for it and I couldn’t find another that fit)

Reginald

Am I Supposed To Apologize? - Maria Mena

I sought understanding clarity in truth, by baring all the wounds inflicted on my youth. You criticized my choice to stand up to my past, to give the pain a voice so that it too could pass. But I felt brave and filled with pride as I let go of bitterness that wouldn’t leave or let me grow.

I fled her house and wrath eleven years of age, followed the crooked path that led me to a stage. The curtains opened up, my heart followed the lead, the music wouldn’t stop and I could finally breathe.

And I will spend a lifetime trying to understand - why someone sharing my bloodline would not lend me their hand...

Razzle Dazzle - Chicago

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle, razzle dazzle 'em. Give 'em act with lots of flash in it, and the reaction will be passionate!Give 'em the old hocus pocus, bead and feather 'em - how can they see with sequins in their eyes? What if your hinges all are rusting? What if, in fact, you're just disgusting ?

Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous -row after row will grow vociferous. Give 'em the old flim flam flummox, fool and fracture 'em. How can they hear the truth above the roar?

Daze and dizzy 'em - show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are! Long as you keep 'em way off balance, how can they spot you got no talents?

This Is Home - Cavetown

Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now but I swear, when I'm ready I will fly us out of here

Turn off your porcelain face, I can't really think right now and this place. Has too many colors, enough to drive all of us insane. Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead. ‘Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head - but I don't wanna fall asleep just yet.

Get a load of this monster, he doesn't know how to communicate. His mind is in a different place, will everybody please give him a little bit of space?

But little do we know, the stars welcome him with open arms.

Puppet Loosely Strung - The Correspondents

Let me put myself in your shoes as a puppet loosely strung. Around you they were so confused a faulty man could have so much fun. They read your smiles, nothing but teeth, looked at you with pity first, then disbelief.

Did you feel the weight of other's views, or was their ignorance a source of fun? I hated the whispers in the street. Do you oppose a greeting, pulling the rug beneath their feet?

In the past you would have been seen as a family's disgrace. Now they think you're putting on a brave face. They might fear that one day they'll wear your shoes. But you're the one who's laughing, you had nothing to lose

Diola

Open Up Your Eyes - MLP Movie

It's time you learned a lesson, It's time that you understand. Don't ever count on anybody else in this or any other land. I once hoped for friendship to find a place among my kind. But those were the childish wishes of someone who was blind

We all start out the same with simple naïve trust. Shielded from the many ways that life's not fair or just. But then there comes a moment, a simple truth that you must face: If you depend on others, you'll never find your place

Open up your eyes, see the world from where I stand. Me among the mighty, you caged at my command. Open up your eyes and behold the fading light. It's time to grow up and get wise, come now, little one - Open up your eyes.

The Other Side - The Greatest Showman

Right here, right now, I put the offer out. I don't want to chase you down but I know you see it. You run with me and I can cut you free.

Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play. 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride, it'll take you to the other side. 'Cause you can do like you do, or you can do like me. Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key.

But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little. Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll wake you up and cure your aching, take your walls and start 'em breaking. Now that's a deal that seems worth taking. But I guess I'll leave that up to you.

Monster - KIRA

(Let me introduce myself) You didn't think I was done, Did ya? Well I just began having my fun baby! Some people live for attention, playing the victim. But baby, I was born to do the killing!

I'm just being me, cut out the things that I don't need. And I don't care if you disagree, I don't need no sympathy - Winning the game on my own.

This is the last time, I'm gonna tell you now: If you try to break me, I'm gonna burn you down.

It's funny how you think I'm bothered. Know I'm nothing like the others. You shouldn't have messed with me 'cause I heard that you're afraid of monsters, monsters!

Poser Check

If there is one thing that makes the world go round, it’s music. If you are like me, you grew up listening to your parents favorite songs, and now you really know what good music sounds like. 

So I asked people what they think about music and how it defines them, here are the results. 

Q- Do you mostly listen to music on the radio or discover music from sources like Spotify or Apple Music?

Q- Do you think you judge others for what music they listen to?

Q- Why or why not?

“no. music is subjective. some people like some music that other people don’t. music is meant to unite people in my opinion, so why judge and divide people because of their taste in music.”

“If they listen to something solely due to popularity, I know that they’re not actually a music person, and are just filling the air. If they listen to only one genre, I know that they are pretty close-minded and, depending on the genre, have a reason for doing so that can be easily out thought.”

“I don’t judge people in the way where I’ll be like a gatekeeper or see someone else’s preferences as lesser, but I definitely think someone’s taste in music impacts who they are as a person and I find it interesting to try and piece that together.” 

“Music taste can tell a lot about a person: how open minded they are, how pretentious they may be, and even in some cases their sense of humor.”

“I really don’t know. On one hand I think what a person listens to can say a lot about them, but on the other hand a lot of people listen to a lot of different types of music, and I’m not really into labeling.”

Q-Do you find people judging you for the music you listen to? (Giving you a "poser check" by asking you to list albums or songs by an artist)

Q- Do you ever feel ashamed for liking a certain artist or genre?

Q-Why or why not?

“People can hate on whatever they want, but if you like it you like it. Ain’t gonna be ashamed of that.”

“If someone disagrees with me on my taste then that’s fine, we’re all different. I’ve never really cared about if people judge me on my taste of music.”

“I might be a little upset if someone thinks the song that I’m listening to is weird.”

“I listen to what I enjoy and I'm open minded to new things, but I think trashing what someone enjoys is just sad. Judge them silently. If someone wants to trash my music, that's their problem.”

“Yes because some people will judge you for some of your music taste which could have negative side effects.”

“I don’t really care what people think about my music if it makes me happy.”

Q-Has parts of your personality changed because of the music you listen to?

Q-Why or why not?

“certain songs bring out a certain side of me”

“100%. I used to be quite sheltered musically, only listening to very popular songs and Christian Rock that my parents deemed worthy. I also used to be very naive. Now? I listen to many things, all for good reason. And I’m no longer that naive kid.”

“I don’t really know. There are definitely sounds that I can always listen to, sing and dance to, and immediately put me in a good mood.”

“I mainly listen to alternative or indie and lots of songs in that genre have an underlying message or theme that can change your outlook on things.”

“I’ve absolutely become fond of different aesthetics or looks because of my shifting tastes in music, and I find when I’m more into softer songs I’ll be less abrasive as a person.”

“It hasn’t bc I don’t listen to music that often and it’s not enough to change me.”

“I feel like listening to certain music has given me more confidence.”

“Music has some crazy influence on people, for me it just reinvented my love for both listening and creating music.”

Q-Do your friends listen to the same music as you?

Q-What genre of music do you often find yourself listening to the most?

-Alternative

-Indie 

-Rap 

-Rock

(there was some more, but these are what people most listened to)

Q-Do you think that listening to a certain type of music can change your lifestyle? (EX- Wearing dark clothes and listening to emo music)

Q- Why or why not?

“it brings out a part of you and you can represent that part of you via what you wear.”

“I think if someone listens to dark music they may be more depressed or have a darker output on life versus someone who listens to more upbeat music.”

“I think that music can empower a person to be more themselves. If your personal style is wearing dark clothes, but you’re too scared to go against the norm, emo music can empower you to dress more like yourself.“

“If you’re trying to fit into a certain aesthetic, that can change who you hang out with, are treated, and perceived by those around you. I think it’s arguably inevitable that that would change who you are as a person and how you live.”

“It's not the music that changes one's lifestyle, it's the culture around the music: the community they're trying to be apart of.”

“I think that you can listen and relate to a certain type of music without conforming to what the genre’s listeners typically like.”

Final question, can you recommend me (and others) your top three, or five, or favorite songs?

“Humming - Turnover

 Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay 

Dog Bones - Racoma”

“Caution, Still Breathing, Stones Under Rushing Water, The Hardest Art, and SING”

“lovers rock by tv girl, anything by peach pit but i recommend shampoo bottles, and rn i’ve been listening to a lot of lil peep.”

“1. Mr. Brightside 2. We are Young 3. Hall of Fame 4. The Fighter 5. Don’t stop me now”

““Case for you” by early eyes, “drunk on Halloween” by wallows, and “green” by cavetown”

“Joji”

“Backwards Down The Numberline by Phish, My Ecstasy by The North 41, Circle The Drain by Soccer Mommy, New York's Not My Home by Jim Croce, and Vienna by Billy Joel. Not exactly my top 5, just 5 songs I'd recommend.”

“Godspeed- Frank Ocean 

Midnight blues- UMI 

Fool for you- Snoh Aalegra 

Hold on/issues- Teyana Taylor”

“1.Fever Dream (mxmtoon) currently the top bop 

2.Slow Dancing in the Dark (Jojo) 

3.all the kids are depressed (Jeremy Zucker) 

4. Young (Vacations)”

Thank you thank you thank you all my survey takers! You guys have great taste? As for my recommendations, here are my top three: 

1- dancefloor by Marcos G 

2- Daylight by Joji, Diplo (his newest single as of 2020)

3- Seven by Men I Trust

Essential Music for Right Now 

My first thoughts on this list: It’s garbage, simply based on the number of songs that were left out and the questionable nature of some of the songs that were left in. I do not want to live in a world where the soundtrack for a Cat’s Remake defines the “essential” music of 2020. I had already processed that this was a bad year; my god, this truly is the worst timeline. I do admit that I like the Lana Del Rey cover of “Doin Time,” largely because it used to be a Sublime song that I could play on a guitar some twenty years ago. That said, the idea that “living is easy,” feels a little ironic right now. Kudos to the list makers for including “Stupid Horse,” that might be the perfect song for the moment. 

My second thought is that I’m probably too old to actually appreciate music that could best define the moment. Not only do I not know every artist on that list, which is something that I would  have been ashamed of even ten years ago, but I admittedly don’t know most of them. Musical taste, like comedy, is born out of experience and culture. In other words, you fall in love with the music that you were raised around, that you grow up to, that form the soundtracks and lyrics of your life as you live it. My soundtrack is older, more ironic and by all objective standards, probably pretty lame by the judgement of today’s youth. This music doesn’t mean anything to me because it isn’t mine. Just as the music I used to love doesn’t really mean anything to anyone born after 2000. In a time of isolation, maybe that’s the point. 

Top Ten List Right Now: 

Five Years - David Bowie

Oh My God - Cults

Don’t Stand so Close to Me - The Police 

Summer is Like a Dream - Khai Dreams 

This is Home - Cavetown 

Looks Just Like the Sun - Broken Social Scene 

Summertime - Flaming Lips

Tu - Maye

Ben E. King - Stand By Me

Mr Blue - Catherine Freeny

The Grocery Store is a Dystopian Nightmare

The news speaks of lines that stretch in scattered, disparate figures around the block. Each is separated by six-feet like a spine with all the cartilage removed from it, bleaching in the Tucson sun after being picked clean by a generation of ants. The news talks of empty shelves, ransacked by ravenous mouth breathers and hoarders who tetris packages of toilet paper into their steel carts with fury. You imagine that one of them would just as well strike you down with a club peppered with rusty nails, its handle carved out of the leg of a child’s play table, just so they can pry the package of Veleeta cheese from your cold, lifeless hands.  But you don’t see any of that, not all. 

You see a lot of people earnestly trying their best. You see a lot of scared old women and grandfathers, their eyes twitching with nervous energy. You see the way they tiredly maneuver around you in their carts, praying that you won’t breath too heavily or cough. You are horrified of them, and they are horrified of you. You come to the unfortunate realization that really, everyone has been turned into a monster through this experience. We are all, each and every one of us, a contagion, a source of danger or grim death. And where once there was a lost child, a sick grandmother, a helpful clerk, there is now a rival to be overcome, a fool to be disdained or the mistake that leads to the beginning of the end. This is a dystopia of isolation as much as one of disease. We feel more alone, and helpless, surrounded by strangers than when we are alone in our own homes, which seems impossible and all too real.

I Read the News Today

To this point, the United States has passed the largest stimulus bill in its history. It is offering a thousand dollars to each American citizen to get through this crisis. It has shuttered its economy and asked people to stay home. It has shut down large sections of American life. None of this is anything that I’ve seen before; and yet, to realize that all of this is not even close to enough is truly difficult to understand. As seemingly grande as the gestures our country is making today seem, they are belief by the fact that they are gestures made too late. They are belied by the fact that testing has failed, and that the numbers are as the number of stones a child can count on a stretch of beach. They are belief by the long lists of names that appear in obituaries, the names which grow more and more familiar by the day. 

It’s difficult to balance my understanding of my daily life with what’s happening in the rest of the world, largely because the windows of our own homes are so small, the contours of our lives so limited in scope, and the world, well, is too large for us to really grasp. Living in the era of Covid-19, as the crisis becomes more unbearable, is like trying to wake up from a miserable dream that you know, certainly has to be a dream. It has to be, because it’s too terrible for it to be real.  As I live my life from my house, cook meals for my wife and myself, type lesson plans and watch bad Netflix adaptations and read, my sense of complacency has grown uneasy. The insides of my home are not like what is happening on the streets, in the hospitals. My wife is a nurse. She tells me what is happening in the hospitals --and it sounds right nightmarish. It defies comprehension. The news we hear, the reports of the capsizing histories of the great civilizations, defies comprehension. The loss of thousands defies comprehension. We cling to what we know, and what we believe in, even when that belief is and of itself, just a story we like to tell ourselves. There’s safety in these words that we’ve said again and again and again. I understand why we do this, but it only hides and comforts. It does not reveal.

It reminds me of a line from one of my favorite poems: 

“It is as if our entire lives have been preparing us for this moment, 

this moment for which nothing could have prepared us, 

and for which we could not have been less prepared.”

Dear Journal, 

I will admit it up front: quarantine is monotonous, droll and filled with tedium. Camus once stated in “No Exits,” that “Hell is other people.” The point was well taken; living with others often makes us self aware of our faults, and the minute details of their characters can drive us mad over time. I’ve had roommates before, I know what that feels like. That said, I strongly disagree with him at this moment --isolation feels in many ways, far worse. The digital faces of friends and family are poor substitutes for their actual company; and more than anything, I want to hike and climb up the broad face of a mountain in the open air. It’s difficult to linger on these memories, and doing so often makes it harder. That said, we fill the hours and we persevere. We push through the challenges bit by bit.  Journaling is helpful for this, it keeps things in perspective. It keeps our thoughts straight. It allows us a way to express something that others will not necessarily need to see --just for ourselves. 

In the end, however, Quarantine is, by all measurable standards, a small price to pay to save the lives of other people. Never before, and potentially never again, will we have the opportunity to fight the war of our generation by simply sitting on our couches, eating away our feelings and numbing our minds with endless hours of Netflix. It’s an important point to remember; this is in many ways a war. It will be fought on the front lines by our doctors and nurses, and it will be fought behind the scenes by the rest of us as we battle ourselves and our worst impulses. If it means keeping a friend, a family member alive then I can put up with a few months of books, videogames and journals. 

PS. I have already eaten through all the cop o’ noodles in my house.
