Adam x Reader General Hcs

HAD TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR HIM HES JUST SO. AUGAHGEHEG. i love him. characterizing him is so fun, but so challenging at the same time.

🥀 Cw: adam being adam, sfw + nsfw hcs, smut, breeding kink

🥀minors dni with the nsfw portion

sfw:

Adam is more prone to casual flings and hookups, hes def not huge on relationships and longterm partners

this means that if your with him, you must be pretty special bc hes a huge ass handful

while he is a pretty big douche, adam is definitely loyal imo

deep down, hes still pretty insecure about both lilith and eve, and im a firm believer that he would never cheat on a partner if he was in a serious relationship

adam comes up with very.... interesting nicknames for you that are 10x more vulgar than the ones he uses for everyone else

hes HUGE on nicknames and petnames in general, at the start of a relationship theyre pretty crude and flirty but over time they start to become sweeter

sugartits, doll, sweet cheeks, bitch boy/babe, babycakes, BAE, lemondrop (idk it just fits), mama/mami, honeytits, honestly anything that comes to mind

adam likes to put "my" in front of most of your petnames, its not so much in a possessive way, moreso in a bragging way, he just loves telling the world that your HIS

he also definitely calls you bro, brah, dude, etc he doesn't care that it "doesnt sound romantic" 💀

adam finds the MOST unhinged things hilarious, hes the type to watch those ten hour long youtube videos of a spinning potato chip and laugh every ten seconds

speaking of, he has one of those loud, booming laughs with a slight wheeze to it

"BAAHAHAHAHAH BAE COME HERE LOOK AT THIS HAHA" and its just a low quality video of a water bottle falling over???

100% a shitty pickup line user

and also a shitty flirter in general

his flirting is just

obnoxious

adam is very proud of you, when the two of you officially got together he probably called half of heaven to announce that you two were dating

"THATS MY PARTNER‼️‼️‼️" type of vibes

adam acts like he isnt big on cuddles bit is secretly the clingiest, most touch starved person alive

PLEASE let him hold you, this man is tall af and loves just swallowing you in an embrace

when he was "courting" you (irritating you constantly and flirting with you obnoxiously until you caught on that he was serious) the biggest tell that his feelings were genuine was the amount of physical contact he initiated

adam was always leaning on you, throwing an arm over your shoulder, resting a hand on your thigh, hooking his arm through yours, overall invading your personal space

he was incredibly happy to FINALLY be able to cuddle with you when you both got together, and HAS to fall asleep touching you in some way every night

adam is almost always wearing his exterminator helmet, but he really likes it when you take it off for him at the end of the day. even he doesn't really understand why, but there's something so intimate to him about the fact that you love his real face more than the persona he puts on

he would rather die than admit it tho

hes not good at words or communication in general, and prefers to express his appreciation through actions

he brings you foods that he knows you like on days where you're especially busy, he gives you song recommendations that he'll think you'll like, he'll buy you a trinket he saw you eyeing at the store, just tiny things like that

adam genuinely does care about you, but as per his usual adam-ness, he would rather go bald than live up to that 💀

nsfw:

you cant tell me this man isnt kinky as shit

hes tried pretty much everything

HE LOVES TO HIT FROM THE BACK, DEF LIKES DOGGY STYLE

i also think he would like the mating press too, getting to watch your face as he wrecks you while also having the opportunity to leave bites all over your thighs, and feel them tremble as he fucks you? sign him up!

his dick is big big

i think hed be a little thicker than average, with a few veins running up the underside, but its his length that's downright heavenly

adam keeps himself pretty well groomed, but has a prominent happy trail and light fuzz at the very base of his cock

listen, this is the first man we're talking about, he KNOWS what hes doing

whether you're male or female, he will go down on you

once he buries himself between your thighs youre done for, adam barely comes up for air as he devours you

hes def sloppy w it too, loves when you cum on his face so he can lick it up

enjoys it when you return the favor as well, i actually think hed really realy like receiving head

would def fuck your face until your drooling

if you hve an oral fixation, you're in luck bc he LOVES watching you suck his dick, his fingers, anything really

adam always makes you lick and suck his fingers before fingering you, and will sometimes trigger your gag reflex by shoving them down your throat to watch you gasp and whine

adam has STAMINA, expect to stay up all night bc this man will stop at nothing to make sure you're both satisfied

i swear this man is built to breed, he has a HUGE breeding kink and goes crazy at the sight of his cum dripping from your hole. even if it's physically impossible for you to get pregnant, adam still babbles about "fucking a prety little babe" into you when he cums

adam likes using plugs to make sure his cum stays inside you, he'll also finger it back inside and loves smearing his cum on your thighs and ass

he also brings his fingers up to your face and has you lick the cum off of them

LOOOVEEEESSS marking you, by the end of the night youre always covered in bruises and scratches and hickeys galore

i love adam guys yes ik hes a douche but hes my douche <3

i wish i characterized him better but whateverrrrrr i dont want to write him as a total asshole but hes def not an angel either (haha im so funny💀)

Clay Headcannons (Romantic)

Genre: Fluff, Romantic

Warnings: None

A/N: I love Clay so much so I genuinely enjoyed writing this 🤗

✩ The best boyfriend you could ever ask for hands down

✩There’s quite litteraly no one like Clay

✩ You fell first but he definitely fell harder

✩ Words of affirmation + physical touch kinda guy

✩ In the beginning of your relationship he’s not very touchy especially not in public

✩ But once he gets attached it’s over 🫡

✩ Always has to be touching you in some way

✩ Hand holding, waist hugs, neck kisses, and anything else you can think of

✩ Even when he’s working in his office he doesn’t mind you sitting on his lap as he works

✩ You had to be the one who could convince this man that it’s ok to be serious AND fun sometimes

“But what if people think I’m too silly again? My fun boy Clay days are over.” :((

“But there’s also nothing wrong with having fun from time to time too sweetie.”

✩ Wasn’t very open to expressing his emotions before he met you

✩ You had to let him know that it was ok to rant to you (and he’s still adjusting but he’s way better at it now)

✩ Please join his sad book club ok >:((

✩ Best dancing partner. EVER.

✩ If you’re at a party with Clay and there’s a dance floor

✩ Everybody getting left in the dust. Including you after a period of time 😭

✩ This man has past experiences with his boy band so he never lost his moves. If you can push him out of his comfort zone for the night, he’s gonna end up the center of attention.

✩ Clay’s not no mean troll, but he will got to war for his s/o and that’s a fact

✩ He can be very extra without realizing it, especially with the little details (bcs that’s just who Clay is :D)

✩ Don’t let him catch you singing any of his Brozone songs (especially his part). He will be all over you for the rest of the day, teasing you and kissing every inch of your face until no area goes untouched

✩ Wanna get Clay flustered? Tell him he has a beautiful voice and you love to hear him sing

✩ Will 100% start humming to you before bed

✩ You’re the reason Clay started to let up and not focus on working 24/7, 24 hours a week. And Viva noticed that (and she thanked you for helping him relax bcs she’s tired of seeing him stress)

✩ But also please thank him for working so hard to become a licensed CPA. He loves the sound of his job and loves to hear you say it too.

✩ Definitely the big spoon when it’s time to get comfy at night. Being so much taller than you, he likes to consider himself “the one in control”

✩ Loves when you play in and take care of his hair like your own.

✩ Loves a good relaxing “spa” (self care) day. A day where you two, and ONLY you two get to sit back and treat yourselves. Facials, hair care, bubble bath, back massages, etc.

✩ Viva made you a matching sweater romper and you put it on for Clay. Let’s just say that was the best decision ever.

✩ Just like you do for him, he appreciates everything you do. Like no matter what it is, he supports you and he’ll be there every step of the way.

✩ You never have to worry a day in your life about Clay cheating, or finding “someone better”

✩ One time during whatever the situation was that had you guys dancing, you spun away from Clay and a new girl quickly replaced you for him to dip her. And he let her go as soon as she even slightly tilted.

“Clay, why did you drop her?!”

“She was kinda close to me and I don’t know how you or I feel about that to be honest.”

✩ (dw he apologized after)

✩ Clay can be really serious. Or really, really, really, reallyyy, corny. 😐

“Babe, did you know my favorite word is universe? Because it starts with U-N-I.”

“Are you wifi? Because I’m tryna hook up.”

“I heard kissing is a love language. Tryna start a conversation?”

“Are you my grades as a kid? Cause your bad AF.”

“Oh my gosh- CLAY-!”

✩ Overall Clay is an amazingly sweet well rounded man

✩ Never lose him

Ranking Descendants Villain Kid Names

Uma - Excellent if only for the UuuuuuuuMA in What's My Name and It's Goin Down. The songs hype the name up a lot and honestly, it delivers

Celia - actually a quite clever twist on Facilier. Bonus points that it does sound like a New Orleans name. No I can't elaborate on that

Carlos - It intrigues me how it's the only common/"real" name out of the core four. I wonder if it has anything to do with his mother's original story being based in the real world instead of fantasy. But probably not.

Mal - would be worse since I think just shortening the name of the parent is lazy, but it's saved a little by the benevolent/malevolent thing they supposedly had cooking. Also it's literally "bad" in Spanish which is funny af

Gil - rumor has it (rumor bc I have not taken the very easy steps to verify) he has a brother named Gaston Jr. and personally I think that would have been much funnier and more meaningful/believable than "Gil." But I can't deny the appeal of a pirate named Gil

Jay - Disney decided that having the same first letter of your name as your parent wasn't enough--they had to make Jay's name *just* the first letter of his dad's name. boo

Evie - a little (lot) on the nose for the "evil" kids but I guess they had to riff off "Evil Queen" somehow. Still, there were other options. Evelyn. Eva. Evangeline. Evanna. Literally anything. Sigh.

Harry - I gotta believe Hook would have come with something much cooler

Dizzy - in what world would a baby girl born into a family with snooty/elegant names like Anastasia and Drusilla name a kid Dizzy? I choose to believe it's a nickname. Like it literally has to be

Squeaky and Squirmy - won't even dignify these with an opinion

[angel-of-the-moons]

TW/CW: NSFW, Smut, Sex, PIV sex, condom usage, safe sex (wrap before you tap!), friends, FWB(?), marijuana/weed smoking, some booze is involved, hook-ups, nipple piercings, nipple play, sensitive nipples, Bratty(?)Reader

MINORS DNI I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT YOU CONSUME

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

It was a typical Saturday night, you were chilling in your flat with Hobie, shooting the shit, watching some stupid program on the telly, drinking some foul-tasting beer and passing joints back and forth between the two of you.

There was an uncomfortable silence that annoyed the fuck out of you.

So you decided to break it.

"Hey, Hobes?" You coughed slightly, passing the rapidly shrinking smokeable to your friend.

"Yea?" He asked as he took the last drag as deep as he could, letting the smoke out through his nose with a soft sigh.

You leaned down and got your grinder and papers, beginning to prep another joint to be inhaled by the two of you; Hobie taking another swing of his beer as he watched you and waited for you to finish your thought.

The sickly almost sweet scent of pot wafted the air around you like a foul incense; but you two were hardcore potheads so the smell was more comforting to you than anything.

"I really need to get laid." You sighed boredly, and look at him as you blindly roll the paper between your fingers, bringing it to your mouth to lick it before giving that final twist.

"Fuckin what--" Hobie choked on his beer, setting it on the coffee table as he looked at you, his pierced brows raising just to check if he heard you right.

"Look, it's been a while and a vibrator can only do so much before it gets boring. And forget shit like Bumble, can't trust freaks on the web." You snort, rolling your shoulders before you look back over at him.

His jaw was hanging open slightly.

"You got any friends that'd be willing to hook up? Not looking for a whole thing... just a one time or even just like... fuckin' booty calls at this point." You finish.

"Uh..." Hobie settled back on the sofa and looked at you, his mind drawing a blank. Both for available friends he knew you could trust and words to finish a thought.

"It's alright if you don't, I just figured it'd be faster to ask you." You smirk at him like it was the most casual request in the world.

You let Hobie drop his head back as he looked at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought; lighting the joint and taking the first hit.

Interesting. Not often you were able to render Hobie Brown speechless. Not since he walked in on you walking around in nothing but your panties that one time because he didn't fucking knock on your front door before letting himself in--

"Shit." He mumbled. "Hell... I'd do it, 'f ya comfortable."

You almost drop the joint onto the sofa.

"Wait, what--"

"You got rocks in ya ears?" He grinned, suddenly regaining his momentum.

"I said I'd be willing to fuck you if that's what ya want. Hell, it's been a while for me, too."

He leans forward and takes the joint, pulling it between his lips before leaning back comfortably, taking another nice deep drag as he breathed it out in a cloud.

You blink dumbly.

"Oh."

"Is that an I'm not interested "oh" or a Shit, really? "Oh"?" He smirked, coughing a bit.

You chew your cheek in thought. You didn't trust anybody more than Hobie, you'd been friends for years. You had so much dirt on each other you could probably pin murders on either one of you (metaphorically).

"This doesn't have to be anything more than sex." You tell him.

"I know." He replies.

"This isn't some kind of declaration of love--"

"Noted."

"I still want to be friends."

"Good, cause s' do I."

You fall into a silence again, before looking back at him.

Hobie had his head tilted expectantly at you, waiting patiently for your decision, not wanting to make a move without your go-ahead.

"Ah, fuck it." You say, turning so you can crawl over him, straddling his lap, splaying your hands over his chest before pushing him down into the cushions.

"This is just a... casual thing. Nothing else has to come of it. We can still go back to just bullshitting like we always do."

"Already said that, luv. Read ya loud 'n clear. So's that mean you're in?" Hobie smirked, his large hands quickly grabbing and kneading your ass through your pyjama shorts.

You finally grin back down at him, gripping your t-shirt and swiftly pulling it over your head, the chilly air of your flat sending goosebumps up your spine as your nipples hardened.

"Hey hey hey!" Hobie said, sitting up so his face was right at your breasts, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked at them.

Hanging from your cute, perked nipples were two stainless steel bars with little chains and a small metal flower hanging from them.

He was immediately transfixed.

"When did ya get these?"

"I got them like, six months ago when--"

Your voice dies in your throat when his mouth latches onto one of them, pulling the chain between his teeth, tugging it with his tongue as he pinches the flesh with his teeth.

"Shit!" You gasp, being caught off guard.

You always had sensitive nipples, and deciding on going with piercing them had not been easy. The artist at the shop however loved it, she kept bringing up previous clients who were the same.

Since you had those bars put in? It made everything feel worse. That's secretly why you liked the chains. The way they gently tugged on the fabric of your shirts or bras always had your head a little fuzzy in the best way.

And Hobie? Right now, Hobie was downright abusing your nipples, his tongue and teeth tugging, rolling, flicking and nipping at them; taking great care to make sure the chain didn't get snagged on his own piercings, both tongue and lip.

You already felt a heavy pool of arousal start to drip straight from your core, and when Hobie turned his mouth to the other neglected breast and toyed with the chain between his fingers on the one he left, your hips bucked against him of their own accord, the friction from the growing his jeans sending searing jolts right through your shorts, panties, and straight to your clit.

"Fuck..."

Hobie's hands were both occupied now, one hand gripping and squeezing the tit he was biting and sucking now, the other toying with the piercing on your other nipple.

One of your hands gripped at your hair and the other held onto the back of the sofa as Hobie continued to abuse the sensitive flesh, and you whimpered when you felt a wave building up already just from the stimulation he was applying there, alone.

"Fuck." Hobie growled into your tit, the vibrations from his voice making your breath hitch. "You're fuckin' soakin' through."

"C-can't help it--" You panted, urging him on with a roll of your crotch onto the bulge in his jeans.

"You gonna cum like this, eh?" He grinned, looking up at you with your nipple between his teeth, his fingers snaking down to press the soaked fabric of your shorts and panties into your aching sex.

The sight alone has your pussy drooling lasciviously.

You manage a breathless nod and he moves his mouth back to the other nipple, tugging the chain he just abandoned with his fingers.

"Then fuckin' do it. Don't jus' grind in 'ta me, luv."

Hobie presses hard, your swollen clit craving the friction he was promising as he strokes it through the offending garments with his hand.

You make a mewling nose as you buck into him, his mouth latching on and sucking your nipple, as if he enjoyed the metallic taste of your piercing on his tongue as he pinched and tugged forcefully, drawing your orgasm out sharper and faster than any previous sexual partners had from you.

"Hoo-oollly shiii-iit!" You moan into the smoke-heavy air.

Hobie grins and bites down a little harder this time, and that sends you careening over that edge, your mouth opened in a weak groan as you cum, gushing through your clothing and onto his hand, the excess dripping onto his jeans.

Hobie continues to stroke you, helping prolong your orgasm as you dumbly hump into his hand.

He pulls away to allow you to breathe, bringing his wet fingers up to his mouth and slides them in, his tongue laving around each digit as he sucks them clean.

"Not bad. Sweet. You must be drinkin' that pineapple juice again, eh?" He grins up at you.

You smirk down at him and shake your head.

"Fuckin' git." You chuckle.

Hobie grunts and grabs you by the thighs, practically knocking you onto your back, narrowly missing the arm of the sofa as he lifts and pins you down, all but ripping your shorts and panties off.

He looks like the cat about to eat the canary.

And you're the canary.

"You gonna sit there or do something?" You challenge.

Hobie laughs at you and leans in, the promise of a kiss barely there on his lips, before he pulls back, unzipping his fly and tugging his aching cock free.

"Uh, hey Hobes--"

"Yeah, I know. I got one or two." He waves you off, reaching for his old beat up leather wallet (that was honestly more duct tape than wallet at this point) and tugged out two gold-foil packages from between some notes.

He tears them apart and tosses the spare onto the table with his wallet and rips the other open with his teeth.

Hobie rolls the latex down his length, the rubber promising a good time with the ridges and bumps along the length of it.

You grin and bite your lip. This was promising to be a great night. You wonder why you haven't asked him to do this sooner.

Before you have a second to realize what's happening, Hobie deftly picks you up again and spins you around, so your back was pressed against his chest as he spread your legs over his thighs, your pussy bare and exposed as he reaches down and spreads your lips with his fingers, toying with the delicate, weeping flesh, there, avoiding your puffy clit entirely.

"Jus--fuck--Hobie!" You squirm, gripping his forearms with your hands with an impatient whine.

"Ay, you're the one bein' a brat, luv. Brats don't get rewarded for bad behavior." He hummed, continuing to play with you like he had not a care in the world, teasing your hole, gliding back up again--but still avoiding your clit.

"N-now you sound like those fuckin' assholes in charge!" You grunt, impatiently trying to arch into his touch to get the friction you crave so badly.

Oh, you shouldn't have said that.

"Oh, am I now?" Hobie hummed innocently, his mouth at your shoulder.

You could feel the bastard smirk as he pulled his hands away from your slick and aching cunt, making you whine in protest.

You were quickly silenced when one of his hands smooths between your shoulders and forces you forward a bit, his other hand guiding your hips where he wanted it as he lined his cock up.

"Y-yeah you f--ffffuuuuuck!" Your voice raises in pitch when he slams you down on his dick, splitting you open in the most delicious way possible.

He groans at how tight you are, feeling your velvety walls squeeze and flutter around him through the condom.

"Oh, fuck, luv. Goddamn." He hisses through gritted teeth.

When you tried to straighten back up again, his hand goes back to in-between your shoulder blades, forcing your upper body forward again, his other hand kneading your ass and spreading your cheeks as he started ruthlessly snapping his hips up into yours, sucking his bottom lip between his teeth as he watched his latex-wrapped cock get swallowed by your greedy cunt again and again, already leaving a nice, creamy little ring towards the base of the condom.

Fuck. This was hot. One minute you two were hanging out, chilling, and now you're pitched over as Hobie just ruts into you like a horny animal.

"Fuck!" Hobie grunted, pulling you back against him, one of his hands snakes around you to tug on one of your nipple piercings, making you moan pathetically.

"Don' make me do all the work, luv. Help me out." He pants in your ear.

The only sounds you can let out are breathy little "ah's" and "fuck's" with each grind of his hips.

Your arms have to stretch to grip at something, anything to give you a bit of leverage as you just keep bouncing on his cock with everything you have, the ridges and bumps of the condom combined with his calculated thrusts hit every single spot inside of you; his hand fondling your piercings sending fresh sparks down your spine, driving your second orgasm closer and closer to crest.

"Fuckin'... damn. Look at you go." Hobie chuckles heavily in your ear, sweat beading and dripping down his brow.

"Taking me so nice... Bouncing on my dick a good girl." He hisses when he feels you tighten up around him.

"Shit, you're so fuckin' greedy--" He growls, fucking up into you with more force, your tits bouncing so much now that one more tug of your piercings send you over the edge, your vision blurring slightly as you cum around Hobie's cock, still pummeling your cunt with purpose.

Your pace slows a bit as you whimper and whine, and that isn't enough for Hobie.

He forces you back over again, gripping your hips in his hands as yours grip the coffee table in front of you for stability.

"Not... fuckin'... done yet!" He grunts, his hips completely lifting off the cushions with each roll and thrust as he chases his own orgasm, the squeezing muscles of your pussy choking the air out of his lungs as he feels his balls draw taut.

He grits his teeth tightly, his abs flexing with effort as he fucks into you, his cum spurting and filling the condom as he huffs and groans, riding his orgasm out like you were some sex toy.

He pulls you against him, his cock still inside you, twitching as you both breathe heavily, your head leaning back against his shoulder.

"Fuck... god." You groan with satisfaction.

"Yeah, you just did." Hobie grins like the cheeky shit that he is.

"Fuckin' git." You laugh, smacking him with the back of your hand softly; his hand catching yours as his thumb caresses your knuckles.

"Wanna go for round two?" You snicker.

"Well, we got one condom left." He tilts his head.

"What are friends for, right?"

[poetry-protest-pornography]

I'm mostly just gonna copy paste my real time conversation with @hotasfahrenheit here, with a free added bits of thoughts:

My Stand In episode 2 thoughts

I wish they translated the title song, because it's tonally confusing

I love when the makeup team adds hickeys

I definitely watched some of this second episode, but I do but remember how far I got, so I'm just rewatching all the crazy

I really need this orgasm-sneeze to be the thing that tips Ming off

I need it

Joe, baby, you've known this man for five seconds, please do not tell him where your spare key is

Ming stop being so fucking awkward challenge

Ugh, Tong is such a dick

Why does anyone hire him? He's always late, he complains about having to do his job and threatens to need weeks off if he has to do one (1) thing....

Ming: "I'm feeling jealous, so I'm gonna be petty about it and hurt Joe's feelings"

Joe: "yeah, I should've expected this"

Ming: are you bisexual (accusatory) or banging the makeup guy?

Joe: I have friends???

(Mia: Listen Ming doesn't have friends so he doesn't understand what those are

Me: oh, that's very clear. Gee, I wonder why that is 🤣)

I love that Ming dresses exclusively in $500 shirts 🤣

Wait, is this girl supposed to be set up with Ming 🤣 He's such a bitch 😆 I love him (forgot to tell with Mia about his slutty little rich asshole silk robe, but bless him and the slutty little rich asshole robe)

(Mia: Ming doesn't know how to function as a person but he does know how to look like a rich bitch)

Joe translating his anger at Ming by being hard on his trainees... Oh baby, no

He's really just "I'm asking for a friend"ed 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, I love this girl actually

Joe with the sex puns, lmao

Ming smiling and then immediately suppressing it is so sad actually

Get therapy, my dude

THE SHEETS ARE WET I AM SCREAMING

THE SNEEZES OH MY GODDD

Also, the work bathroom hook up cut with the training session was *chefs kiss* (the way this built tension and also narrative, and like, showed Joe's inner thoughts? Incredible.)

(Mia: Pepzi, our queen) FOR REALZ

He knows Joe's coffee prep

This is so domestic? (This makes me feel crazy, actually. And Joe's genuine awe at being seen in this small way breaks my fucking hearrrt)

Joe. Baby. Again, it has been five minutes and three orgasms, you cannot invite him to move in

He's being so nice to the stunt men today 😂

Ming:

The way he said Joe's name while staring at Sol like "okay bitch, watch this" killed me

He knew Joe would go to him and he wanted Sol to know real bad

Sol is ready to Fite

Listen, I knew he made him sleep on the floor OF HIS OWN HOUSE, bit it's still deeply funny to me

And then, he's just staring at him while he sleeps waiting for him to wake up so he can give him the bitchiest look known to man

Ming: *is jealous AF*

Joe: you jealous bro?

Ming: No, who would even like you?

Joe: *is the world's saddest puppy*

"sit ups break my back, live breaks my heart". Baby, no.

Lovesick Joe= drill Sergeant

Post orgasm Joe = kindergarten teacher

Sad Joe = bad poet who can't do a sit up

(Mia and I had a conversation about how sometimes, very drunk people want to be on the floor in a blanket, and she is very correct)

Wait.

...

Did Ming go home and make himself the same ramen Joe made for him? (Because he was jealous and bitchy and ran away after making the boy he likes Dad on purpose)

THIS IS MAKING ME INSANE, ACTUALLY?!

Okay, considering Ming is in love with his sister's boyfriend, they actually have a really sweet sibling dynamic, and she is actually The Best.

Why can't we go to a movie and eat fondue? Why did Thailand get movies so much better than we do? Let me watch a movie in a bed or eat fondue while I watch my favorite blorbos.

But also, he clearly just needs like, so much therapy

Like, his thought process is "I love him, no one else can have him, I'm gonna kidnap him". Which is .. Not Normal People Thoughts

"even if I could be happy, I shouldn't be"

THERAPY. THERAPY FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

Sol: " I will flirt by kicking his ass and hoping he kicks mine back"

Oh shit, Joe really just fucking knocked him out 🤣

Ming having a crisis hearing Joe talk about what love is, and then that little smile when Joe said he wanted then to be a couple... (Joe's like, pathological inability to let himself experience emotions is... Several Problems)

This man is insane

Listen, if I'm supposed to hate Ming, they shouldn't have had Up play him

NOW HE'S AT JOE'S HOUSE PLAYING HOUSE HUSBAND. (WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?)

Rip curry

It's the ramen of suppressed feelings again

JOE STOP MAKING ME CRY CHALLENGE

Look, is Ming:

LADY AND THE TRAMP AND THE GRIP YOU HAVE ON THE THAI BL INDUSTRY

They're so cute that it's actually a crime that I know Ming is a whole red flag parade

The way Joe did the cutest little "please, tell me, please please please, I wanna hear you say the things we both know (you jealous baby)" and Ming was like "yeah okay, I will hum a quiet affirmative and we will never speak of it again" was so fucking cute. I am prepared to cry and scream and have my feelings hurt, but gosh do they do this well.

Okay, I have like, real actual thoughts about this, but also I do not. I am obsessed and too deep in it right now to words, but AAAHHHHHHH

[hannah-shipper-banana]

I’m bored so here’s a ranking of the Austin and Ally seasons IMO

4) Season 1

It was cute. They were all such babies.

It was goofy and the songs were bops. No drama, just fun.

What was the wardrobe department smoking tho , because why did they have Ally (a 14/15 year old girl) looking like a grandma? Austin, you’re not getting away with your wardrobe choices either buddy.

3) Season 4 (there i said it)

In terms of comfort episodes, this season has it all for me. No drama (until towards the end of the season) just vibes.

The comedy for sure matured and the characters were developed and grown up.

Also AUSLLYYYYY. They were 100% married for the entirety of the last season, no one could tell me otherwise. They were just living their best life being happy. They all acted like normal high school teens in this season which I liked. (I liked when they got to be normal teens instead of pop stars all the time)

Austin and Ally were in FULL mom and dad mode with season with Trish and Dez being the fun aunt and uncle.

Also younger me (and low key present me) wanted Ally’s wardrobe. SUCH an improvement from season 1.

Genuinely such a funny season with a lot of funny episodes.

BUT I low key missed Sonic Boom and there were a lot of filler episodes (IMO). Also idk if its just me but I felt like they were acting more grown up than they actually were.

Also where were all the performances? Where were the Auslly at the piano scenes? WHAT WAS UP WITH AUSTIN’S HAIR?

With all that being said I still really loved this season.

2) Season 2

The writers really did that!

The comedy, the goofiness, the angst, the drama, the romance! THE WARDROBE CHANGE!

THE FUCKING PERFORMANCES! (That ‘Better Than This performance’ + that ‘Tunes and Trials’ episode lives in my head rent free)

BABY AUSLLY! THE BEGINNING OF THEIR LOVE STORY! ALLY LOSING HER STAGE FRIGHT! WHAT WAS IN THAT MF NOTE?!

That finale still has me in pieces

The comedy was still kinda childish but it was a Disney show! Come on now.

THIS was the season that hooked me onto the show. MWAH chef’s kiss.

AND COMING IN AT #1, WE HAVE SEASON 3!

I don’t know what the writers were on this season but MY GOD!

This was peak Disney Channel greatness for me. Younger me was SHOOK!

The comedy was matured and the episodes were entertaining af.

The angst and THE DRAMA!! THE JEALOUSY!!!

Cannot think of a bad episode this season. (Well…)

THAT FINALEEEEEE! THE BIG I LOVE YOU SCENE!

Started off with Austin and Ally missing each other while he was on tour, a few shenanigans in between, a few relationships filled with jealousy AND THEN ended with an Auslly love confession and Austin giving up his career for her! Who’s doing it like that?!

Also what was in the water that year, cause how did everyone look so damn good?! Ally’s hair will forever be goals, it was GIVING.

There was a balance of comedy, romance and drama AND performances and that’s what made this show what it was essentially.

[officialtayley]

i kinda always felt like SD moment happened quite some time before parahoy..... like maybe sometime after their last feb shows ? idk. but at the parahoy hayley was, as you saidd, so into him, and he wasn't intimitated by that if that makes sense? like he alreadt knew, it wasn't new. in may his iconic 'same' story said that it was well after SD moment, and then akward stage has passed, and he actually was aware of the fact he fell in love with her, then i believe they would have talked it out probably scared af but decided to give it a go before tour5 started? i think so at least. they were very couple coded after tour5 ended and some think that was the time when they officially started dating but idk i can't seem to imagine them innocently hooking up during tour5 and then later actually becoming a couple? because they were scared af that they would ruing their friendship that i don't believe they would shamelessly do coouple stuff without committing? idk tho ! they are complicated figures esp that t posted that one song that said sth if you love me just say it in like august i'd say? so maybe they became official couple later?

from what i know, or if we want to believe baylie, they were 100% a couple during tour 5. that's smth i always believed anyway but yeah they def didn't wait until the end of tour to become a couple like some believe. i think the end of tour gave them time to actually focus on being a couple and their relationship which yknow..... went a bit bad for a moment but hey

also i can say that cause iirc that was part of the dms that leaked.

[sleep-token-confessions]

i feel like i entered this fandom through the backdoor q-q

my partner has been listening to ST sporadically for years now but i never really got into their music somehow. then they went to a concert and got merch which was too small for them so i got to wear it (have been for years with no connection to the band, it just looked sick imo). couple weeks ago i accidentally read a crossover fanfic with ST in it and for some reason that got me hooked. i read more and more. went back to actually -listen- to their songs again. had me in tears pretty much the entire time. went back to read some more while listening to all of their songs on repeat. watched some of their live performances on yt. gosh i adore them. two days later i bought tickets to see them this autumn despite extreme anxiety. and now I'm in this weird place where i basically know nothing about them except for stuff that repeatedly came up in fics like there is another iv?? huh? but i cant stop listening to all their songs (which make me sad af constantly lol) and i am so grateful for the separation of stage persona and actual artist. like yes i hope they are doing well and enjoy what they are doing but i also adore the characters they play and people's headcanons. at the same time i feel like the fakest fan ever and honestly i have no idea how to start catching up on their rl history because i do not want to accidentally stumble upon their rl identites. Q-Q

i got noone in my life who i can talk to about any of this so i decided to get over myself and send this :> ty for your time

Whumptober 2024- A Break/Shake FST EP

Papaoutai by Stromae- The source of the main conflict in Marth’s story in the series. This song can fit so well in so many fandoms (looking at you, Persona 2), and it fits in this one.

Bein’ Friends by Catherine Warwick- What, I can bring in any music from any soundtrack as long as it’s appropriate, and this is totally Caeda’s perspective on the whole deal! She does help out Marth with his troubles! And it appears in the series!

Bring Me To Life by Wagakki Band ft. Amy Lee- Listen, any version of this song would’ve fit Marth’s feelings for Caeda involving his new backstory, but I purposely chose this version because it is glorious. Japanese instruments has a beauty that works with Break/Shake’s interpretation of Altea.

Running Up That Hill covered by Eivør- I specifically chose this version because I love Eivør and she’s one of my two choices of Ange’s voice. ...Which this song is an Ange song, because for a moment, she did wanted to switch place with Marth, if only to keep him away from the pain he was experiencing at that moment.

Live And Learn by Crush 40- How many franchises can I put in this? Anyway, this is the lesson Marth learns throughout Break/Shake in song form. Sonic was my very first fandom ever, so having a song from the series for this FST makes me giddy af. Love you, Sonic!

Nasty Majesty by Splatoon’s Off The Hook- This is Never Thought: The Vibe. Marth’s prior experiences changed how his worldview and savior complex expresses itself, and from it, Marth can smell bullshit from a mile away, and he’ll also refuse the same bullshit because he has standards. Long story short- DON’T MESS WITH THE CROWN PRINCE OF ALTEA.

2024 Year End List - #11

Samurai - Lupe Fiasco

Main Genres: Jazz Rap, Boom Bap

A decent sampling of: Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Abstract Rap, Conscious Rap

Lupe Fiasco is one of those artists that's been around forever ,that I always knew I would probably like, but had yet to check out any full-length projects from. That was, until this dropped and I saw that cover art and was like "fuck it, you got me".

But really, can we just appreciate that sick fucking cover art for a minute? Man's got serious taste.

Lupe was kind of an anomaly in the hip hop world when he made it on to the scene. Here's this nerdy, offbeat conscious male rapper from Chicago, with bars about respecting women, the kinda rapper who would've very rarely reached anything approaching his level of commercial success. But in the late 2000s, he proved that hip hop was already beginning to diversify its perspectives on what a successful rapper could look like. Like Ye (before he went all batshit anti-semite, anyway), Lupe paved the way for other colourful rappers who didn't fit into a very particular archetype of mythologized machismo.

But like I said, I'm not too familiar with the dude's actual back catalogue. To me, he's always just sorta been that relatively mainstream 2000s rapper that was a respectable cool guy. But now I'm kicking myself for it, cause the dude's got some mad bars to match his genuine nice guy persona.

Though it might sound odd given the warlike name and confrontational cover art, I'd honestly describe Samurai as a very comfy listen. It has that in-your-element, geeking out alone in your bedroom kind of vibe. The really breezy, downright sexy jazz rap beats go well with some very unabashedly verbose lyrics. Like a comic book come to life, this record is full of drama, bravado, and just some really cool shit.

I get from this record that Lupe Fiasco is a true logophile, and the man puts his heart and soul into his bars. It's a real pleasure to look up some of these lyrics and just read along, as you can palpably feel the man's passion for the pen oozing out of these songs.

Samurai is also a concept album. Lupe is apparently a long time fan of the late great soul singer Amy Winehouse, and a little known fact about the legend herself was that she originally wanted to be a famous rapper. The story of Samurai chronicles an alternative reality where Amy became a formidable battle rapper, and throughout the narrative he weaves, Lupe draws parallels with aspects of his own career as a rapper.

I'm tempted to say that, in the hands of a lesser artist, this could've been in poor taste, or even exploitative in some way. But Lupe makes it abundantly clear through his wordsmith on the record and in interviews just how much respect he has for Amy, and the project ends up being this really genuine and imaginative tribute that's honestly quite touching. If you're gonna do hero worship, then the one true right way to do it is to keep it classy AF like this project.

The eponymous opener "Samurai" is the album's biggest selling point. This track is a huge blast from the past, while simultaneously feeling so fresh and cutting edge. This is how you begin a story. I get hyped just thinking about that little saxophone riff that heralds the arrival of a truly seasoned master. The chorus was ripped directly from a voicemail left by a young Winehouse when she actually was a battle rapper. The song is such a genuine celebration of the artistry of rap to the point it almost brings a tear to my eye.

"Cake" is an infectiously rhythmic and braggadocious track about Amy's first battle rap victory. The hook on this one has gotten stuck in my head at least a dozen times in the last month.

"Palaces" is pure rainy evening jazz piano class. The lyrics are pensive, reflective, and bittersweet, pondering on legacy and the perpetual vulnerability of fame, with Fiasco pleading not to fall to its many trappings, which feels particularly grim in the context of the record's concept revolving around Winehouse, an individual who was very much hurt by the double-edged knife of success.

The record closes with "Til Eternity", where Lupe posits that art, or rather the process and the effort of making art, could immortalize us as human beings. The song has a splendid and humble kind of sound, as if taking in the simple beauty of life.

Apparently, a few tracks were cut from the record for the sake of making it more concise, and it definitely feels that way at just eight minutes and thirty tracks.I'm conflicted because I love what's here, and it does feel like the narrative comes to a satisfying end. But it also feels like Lupe really only scratched the surface of the concept and the themes he was trying to convey here. What we get is amazing, but it feels like its over all too soon.

Nevertheless, I'm still impressed with what we got. Moreover, Samurai's conception comes off so clean and effortless, despite the obvious blood and sweat that was put into these lyrics. The record tells a short story about two legends and does a fine job at it. This is a very easy listen that I'd gladly recommend as a gateway for anyone looking to get into more lyrically heavy, concept-driven hip hop records.

8/10

Highlights: "Samurai", "Palaces", "Cake", "Til Eternity"

[protobrieile]

just finished the human fear. screams in retired 2017/18 franzdom. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my own amateur "review" below

audacious - dislike. gave me an awful first impression, to the point at which i didn't listen to any of the other singles until just now. lyrics are like, performatively self-aware in an offputting way and the composition is bland af. also just feels like a weird attempt at trying to redo early franz without the inherent cynicism which just. functionally is impossible to do well i think

2. everydaydreamer - this one i liked pretty well, both lyrically and compositionally. this feels like a good balance between pre- and post-nick ff sound imo. it reminds me thematically of The Universe Expanded and Dream Again and feels like the healthiest nick-grieving song he's ever put out. which is unfortunate bc that was very nearly an entire decade ago but oh well. still good tho

3. the doctor - this is the first of a few songs on this album that i feel like would sound fine if any other band did it but feels weirdly attention-reaching since it's them. SPEAKING OF ATTENTION I DONT LIKE THE LYRICS AT ALL. This is definitely the most grossly self-aware/acknowledging song imo. don't like it

4. hooked - i could name half a dozen songs by other artists in my library compositionally similar to this one. i like the style but it sounds, again, weird coming from them. lyrically though i think it's pretty dull and the chorus.... eughhh. alex is too old to make it feel like anything other than an awkward "back in my day magazines called me a sex symbol" ordeal.

5. build it up - HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA the funny thing about this song is that they've been playing it for so long that it only just now being officially released just. REALLY emphasizes the fact that alex will never get over nick leaving even more LOL. Good song though, not my fav stylistically but fine

6. night or day - this must be my favorite single but that's not really saying much lol. it's fine. doesn't sound tooooo totally derivative of older stuff which helps.

7. tell me i should stay - Ok I LOVE this one. The piano interlude is v nice. The style and chord progression is also v nice. Alex's voice sounds the best it has in years (imo). the chorus key change really sets this one apart from the others and it feels WAYYYY more exciting and natural than the one in audacious. I love the guitar riffing and the tempo changes. This is EASILY my favorite off the album and honestly will probably rank in the upper quarter of their songs overall for me. If they go and make a whole album like this i will forgive alex for his transgressions against humanity

8. cats - this is another one that feels like a good balance of older and newer ff sound. i really like the "take it outside" refrain compositionally and am a bit of a sucker for the vocal style he takes on the second verse LOL. lyrically i think it is Interesting, especially the switch between "you" and "we" pronouns. i will likely be analyzing this one in the future heheheh.

9. black eyelashes - sorry not sorry but the folk-ish style reminds me of das lunsentrio. also the usage of greek words is interesting. apparently the bridge translates to "you are not greek/no, you're not talking/why? why aren't you talking?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. hmm,,,,, hm. Interesting. overall this one is pretty fun tho i like it lol

10. bar lonely - this one feels a little compositionally derivative of their early stuff imo but not to an extent that i feel ruins it. the lyrics kinda remind me of YCHISMB b-side era stuff, especially the vague progression of the curtain metaphor (i guess it reminds me of uh. that one supposedly about his grandpa idr what it's called lol). it is ok imo.

11. the birds - OK I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT. I love the style of it. I love the chaos that abruptly realigns into the almost factory-like riff structure. the lyrics are fine and i would like them better if they didn't end with "thank you for accepting me" but it's the composition that sells this one for me. Kinda weird for a closer tho tbh

I am glad I can say that this album exceeded my expectations and didn't end up being nearly as compositionally derivative of franz 1.0 stuff or as agonizingly self-appraising and emotionally deflective as I thought it would be after hearing the lead single. Most of the first half gives me this impression of "very adamantly trying to paint a certain image" that feels kinda gross but beyond that there is definitely a good amount of artistry and I personally find it to be much more open-minded and creative than AA ever was. it's clear that AK has grown over the years and honestly i'm surprised (for better or worse) to see there really aren't any obvious digs at any of the former members given past patterns. But i'm very glad that's the case lol. I hope they can continue to ride this wave as a group bc there's definitely a lot of good potential for some really fantastic works of art within its current form.

RIP Trugoy The Dove, De La Soul co-founder/rapper 🙏🏾

I found out this news late af but I’m not gonna lie this one hit me HARD. 😢

Back in high school, De La Soul was everything I aspired to. They are the rap group that made me want to seriously do music.

Their crazy ass rhymes and daring use of sampling Old School classic records and turning them into a whole new sound (big up their producer on the first album, DJ Prince Paul) just blew my teenaged mind at the same. I had loved Run-DMC, Boogie Down Productions, UTFO, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick etc before they came along but once I heard their debut single “Plug Tuning” they became the nee standard that I aspired to.

Right after my high school best friend Anton Lewis heard that sontg, he immediately renamed himself the rapper A Le Wiz and I became MC Number One lol (tbh I first used the name MC EZ Rock but then Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock came out with “It Takes Two” so I had to change it lol).

Then we got our hands on De La Soul’s debut album “3 Feet High And Rising” and became even more obsessed with their super intelligent and poetic rhyme style that didn’t focus on sounding “tough” or “street”.

Songs like “Potholes In My Lawn”, “The Magic Nunber” and “Buddy” featuring The Jungle Bros, Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah and even more.

And then their mosnter jam “Me Myself And I” became THE JAM of summer 1989 and literally everyone worldwide knew and loved De La Soul which made me super happy and proud. 😊

Thank you Posdnous, Trugoy The Dove and DJ Pace Master Mase for so many years of great music and even greater memories over the years to the soundtrack of later hits like “Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)”, “A Rollerskating Jam Called ‘Saturdays’”.

Not to mention Trugoy The Dove’s awesome feature on the hook of A Tribe Called Quest’s classic, “Award Tour”. 🙌🏾 (RIP to my all time fave Trini rapper Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, who passed away back in 2016🕊️)

Rest In Power to the icon, David Jude Jolicoeur AKA Trugoy The Dove. Thanks for everything. De La Soul forever! 🙏🏾

[piracytheorist]

Which Disney movie do you consider overrated? (Pixar counts)

Peter Pan from 1953. And I'm gonna choose violence here. Skip this post if this is your favourite film.

The most glaring problem with that film is of course the racist depiction of Native American tribes. Sadly, a film can be technically well made while also being racist, so it's not the racism part that makes me think that this film sucks from an entire film making standpoint.

It's the depiction of Hook, and to an extent, Peter Pan. In the original story, Peter Pan represents childhood, but also immaturity, while Hook represents adulthood and all the shit that follows it. While Hook is more of a villainous character, he's not the villain of the story, while Peter Pan is not the absolute hero protagonist and paragon of virtue of the story. He's also pretty fucked up. Pan and Hook are symbols, and of opposite sides to boot, and that's why they're antagonists in the story. Wendy is a character, learning about both and in the end pretty much choosing neither.

So Disney took that and turned it into a black-and-white hero vs villain story while forgetting that the original is about Wendy learning what growing up is all about.

Hook is turned into a caricature of a villain while also being mocked for having a very legitimate fear of an animal that wants to eat him. I don't know, maybe it's because I don't have childhood nostalgia for this film, I first watched it when I was like 14 and I was like dafuq did I just watch. Like I was legitimately cringing and feeling bad that Hook was being made fun of. Phobias and trauma-related fears are no laughing matter.

And look - I'm not saying you can't have a villain who is comical. Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, which came out a few years after Peter Pan, is also a comical villain... but she's not a ridicule. Roger may make a song mocking her, but it's more of a dark humor song going like "She's the devil and she will eat you alive O_O but not really" while Peter Pan went like "LOL Hook is afraid of an animal that ate his hand and now wants to eat the rest of him he's such a coward LOL!" And no, I don't think it's fair to see a man who's willing to kill children in cold blood and to try and bring him down by laughing at a very rational fear he has. If it was used as a weapon against him and taken seriously - like the Lost Boys or Pan calling upon the crocodile so that Hook will panic and they can escape - it would have been a cool, albeit a little dark (though not too dark for Disney, especially for that era) idea, though not uncalled for compared to what Hook does. But no they just lol about it. It's hideous.

And in general I find that version of Pan unlikable, super annoying and an immature brat - which is funny because that's what Pan is supposed to be in the original story! He's meant to present to Wendy the "bad" sides of staying a kid forever. But Disney just presents him as a hero who learns from his mistakes like NO BITCH the whole point is that Pan doesn't grow up! He doesn't grow more mature and he's NOWHERE near being a person to look up to.

I agree that it's an iconic film but when you actually tear it down it's insulting to people with phobias and/or traumas, poorly translated from the source material, shallow as fuck, and also racist. 0/10 probably the only good thing that came out of it was whatever money the mouse decided to give to Great Ormond Street Hospital for using the rights to Peter and Wendy. (If you don't know what that is, J. M. Barrie, the author of the book and original theater play, gave the rights to the aforementioned hospital so any production getting the rights to make any production of it would essentially pay the hospital, which is a cool af idea. I think that right-holding reached its end a couple years ago and lo and behold what did the mouse do? A live action Peter Pan film :)

[aaliyahsthings]

Ok hi, here's my new segment on Tumblr called, "Aaliyah rants" where I rant about random things (mostly song lyrics) and today we're gonna read lyric to lyric on the song by Ruru called, "Rinbyou AIDS Baidoku" and why I think this song is not about sexual assault but it's mostly me doing a deep dive of the lyrics so this is my ted talk enjoy! —

Oh, wait, before I start, this post might get a little icky because it talks about sexually transmitted diseases and I don't know a lot about music so please correct me if I get the lyric interpretation wrong.

Here is the link to the wiki page where the lyrics AND original song is: https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E6%B7%8B%E7%97%85%E3%82%A8%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA%E6%A2%85%E6%AF%92_(Rinbyou_AIDS_Baidoku)

The first thing I wanted to get to is that I really, REALLY like this song, even AFTER I learned what the English lyrics were. Hell, the beat is slow and captivating and it has GUITAR in it??? If there's a song with a good use of guitar in it, then you got me hooked! I don't CARE about the English lyrics!!!

Speaking of the lyrics, let's get to the lyrical analysis shall we?

"Here is the town abandoned by the gods."

I personally think that this line means that this "town" the narrator is singing about is beyond repair even if any sort of "God" were to try because of the amount of people that are either drug addicts or prostitutes, which connecting to my Bible roots, is a big no no so this "God" would try and fix it but it can't be fixed so the town is "abandoned" by them (gods) because of the amount of corruption there is in this so called "town" (that's all I got from this one — )

"The sex worker sucks on a squashed hairpin.

When the curtain falls, she sobs her heart out.

The train brings with it a suitcase of grief."

There's nothing I could say for the second line unless the hairpin could mean something, but I highly doubt that it doesn't (also can hairpins be squashed..?).

What really is interesting is the third to fourth line. Let's start with the 3rd line:

"When the curtain falls, she sobs her heart out."

I don't know how prostitution works, but I'm thinking that the sex-worker is working at a strip club because I would think that its how she gets her money (then again, I could be wrong) other than well... Doing her services. Behind the curtain, shes more fragile and, more of herself than she is on stage. Or maybe someone is abusing the sex worker, so maybe she's sobbing after the abuse that they're going through?

The curtain can also represent the mask that the worker has to hide up her pain and hardships. Strippers or sex workers would probably want to look good on the outside so they hide their true feelings and also their true self, which transitions back to the other paragraph about being behind the curtain and showing their true colors.

On to the fourth line:

"The train brings with it a suitcase of grief."

I'm guessing the 'train' is the sex worker because she's probably depressed and she only drops the grief when she's on stage performing her services. She wants to leave her grief and pain all behind period but they can't unless shes on stage doing her act.

"Unexpectedly, the three-legged crows go extinct."

I skimmed the wiki on this and in Japanese culture, the three legged crows are basically like gods as the wiki says that they represent, "a mark of rebirth and rejuvenation" and "a symbol of guidance". So for these gods to go "extinct", the world can not be reborn again and there is no guidance for anyone, which immediately refers back to the very first line, "Here is the town abandoned by the gods" which now means that no one is going to be redeemed and they are no going back to a world of sin because they can't be "rebirthed" and even if they are rebirthed, they wouldn't have any guidance if they're in trouble.

The next few lines are self explanatory for the most part but Imma explain them anyways

"Her rusted door opens after two in the morning"

I don't know what Ruru meant by "rusted door" but I think it implies her kitty meow meow (you know what I mean)

"She drinks up the dripping foam,"

The "foam" in this is obviously a sign that the worker is in drugs as some drugs can do that to you when you take too much of it.

"And her will to live goes extinct."

Still proves my point of the worker being on drugs because she feels horrible and she uses drugs as her getaway from her life. An escape from reality She realizes though that too much of these drugs might kill her, but she doesn't care to the point where it doesn't matter if she's alive or not (this is the point where I think this song is depressing for me because of personal experiences..)

Get ready for another set of lyrics which makes this song a rollercoaster ride.

"Should a bird with nowhere to go caw"

Basically asking, "Should I try to ask for help even though no one will hear me?"

"Tears will leak from her somewhere deep down in the dark."

She's crying and no one hears her, hence going back to the "Should a bird with nowhere to go caw" line.

"She'll ceaselessly keep tossing the dice"

She'll keep taking chances with her life to see if she will live or die.

"And crying, 'I just don't wanna die...'"

A contradictory line that conflicts with the chorus! Love that (NOT)

And speaking of that LOVELY chorus!!

"I'm afraid of infection, but get me wet, get me wet!"

Implication of the worker being really horny and desperately want sexual affection.

"Gonorrhea, AIDS, syphilis..."

Diseases that are transmitted through sex

"I want to make the bed rock with everything I have

And be one with you!"

Look at that, another sex reference. Whoever this "you" person is, the sex worker really likes them and she wants to be with them (sexually and not intimately) so she won't be alone forever.

The chorus for this next part sounds different but we're still in the chorus!

"Get me wet, get me wet with this forbidden pleasure!"

This "forbidden pleasure" is to me, the joy (from sexual affection) that the sex worker never gets to have because of the life that she's in. The pleasure isn't intimate but she's addicted to it, which is shown in the next lines but before we get to that...

"Chlamydia trachomatis"

I'd look these diseases but I don't want this post to be TOO icky because there is a slight theme to this which I'll get to in the end. But yeah. Another transmitted disease.

"I want to try getting high off a bad injection"

Another implication that our character (sex worker) is on drugs and is in the middle of an addiction.

"And making a mess with you!"

I think this lyric line is self explanatory. Now let's get back to the main story (because this song to me is a whole life story).

"She's constantly breaking taboos"

We don't know what these 'taboos' are but it could refer to as either 'laws' or something aligned with her social status.

"The rotten blood circulates from her skinny body."

The "rotten blood" could possibly be the effect of the intake of the drugs.

"A new life buds forth."

Could imply that someone (or even the sex worker) is (or was) pregnant and is born into a rebellious and broken town which connects to the "Three legged crows" lyric, which also implies that maybe they didn't go extinct and just left the town?

"May it at least not be in pain."

In other words, "Don't taint the fetus and don't let it suffer".

Yay the next set of lyrics (help now)

"She'll keep chasing down that irresistible joy"

This means that no matter what happens to her, she still wants to find happiness, whether that be through her job, sexual attention from "you", or maybe even the drugs that's affecting her negatively.

"And bloody vomit will leak from her when it gets less effective."

Oh, so back on the drugs. Ok.

"She'll ceaselessly keep tossing the dice"

Shes relentlessly taking chances with her life.

"And crying, 'I just wanna stay alive...'"

Another contradictory line. And then there's another chorus.

"Even though it breaks my heart, get me wet, get me wet!"

More 'proof' that she is depressed and at the same time, addicted to the situation she's in. She wants to stop, but she doesn't and shes stuck into the whole cycle again.

"Gonorrhea, AIDS, syphilis..."

Again, listing off the diseases that are transmitted through sexual activity.

"I'll send off the sex slaves who came before me"

Shes.. hiring sex slaves? I don't really know what this means so if anyone knows, let me know (I'm really bad at this).

"And laugh, 'Sounds like an acoustic guitar...'"

I think shes referencing the acoustic guitar that plays in the beginning. And I have to say, that guitar is AMAZING. If theres another meaning to this line as well, lemme know.

GUYS WE'RE ALMOST DONE HERE!! STAY WITH ME!!

"Now the sun is going down...

Alas, so I'll fall into the night.

Now the sun is going down,"

Shes saying that the day is ending and that she's resting. To be honest, this is where the lyrics get confusing so this is the third time that I'm saying this but PLEASE tell me more about these lyrics if you guys know anything about song meanings and stuff.

Now here's the last chorus and I won't make your ear throb (or eye throb since you're reading this) while explaining it.

"I'm afraid of infection, but get me wet, get me wet!

Gonorrhea, AIDS, syphilis

I want to make the bed rock with everything I have

And be one with you!

Get me wet, get me wet with this forbidden pleasure!

Chlamydia trachomatis...

I want to try getting high off a bad injection

And making a mess with you!"

Now that posted all the lyrics, sum it up.

So we know that this sex worker is.. going through some things, but it seems like the narration of this story switches from the sex worker's pov to the narrator's point of view and we know that when the narrator becomes the sex worker, the pronouns are "she" but when it gets to the chorus, its then "I". I think that explains the image with the two girls that I'm about to show.

Now that I'm officially DONE with the lyrics, I want to take a look at this artwork that Ruru posted with the video and try to connect it to the lyrics (I mean.. TRY).

(sorry if the picture is bad quality)

Image context: So there's two girls laying on the bed, the one in the red dress (we'll call her Maki since she looks a little bit like the drv3 character (Danganronpa fans please don't come for me)) is laying next to the blonde hair (erm..... kaede?..) and blonde hair is almost (if not completely) naked while red dress looks like she doesn't have any panties on, implying that both of them got done doing sexual things and red dress (Maki) just got done putting her clothes on and blonde hair (Kaede) is maybe... Asleep? I'm not sure. Around them are pictures and glass (?) and other items with some blood splatter, which could connect to the "And bloody vomit will leak from her when it gets less effective" line.

There's nothing more to say with the surroundings in the picture unless you guys know any more.

Now back (or onto) the characters. Blonde Hair has that black box on her eyes, which usually indicates someone hiding themselves from the public eye. However we don't know either of these characters or their background so why doesn't red dress have one? This is probably because she's the narrator and the sex worker is the blonde one. However, I can't get over my theory that red dress can be the sex worker too because she keeps switching the point of view until the near end of the song. Maybe the blonde girl wasn't even a character at all and was just the red dress 's persona to display what she goes through.

But I don't know. That's just a theory. A MUSIC theory. And CUT.

Please let me know if I get anything wrong or you guys have something to add.
