HE by TAL "But I wanna believe in that notion I'm needed. I really just wanna be wanted. I don't want my work to be currency Used in gainin' your love. I just want you to- Please, clap for me, Laugh at my jokes, don't ever let go. Please, brag on me, with a smile, Tell me it's fine if I stay a while."

Hell's Coming With Me by Poor Man's Poison "There was a drifter passing through that little valley, See he had promised he was coming back to town, They didn't know him by his face, or by the gun around his waist, But he come back to burn that town to the ground."

Lady Jesus by UPSAHL “Welcome to my funeral, please take a seat. Right here lies the body of the bitch I used to be, She was crying every night, I sacrificed her in her sleep. If she didn't get to Heaven then I hope she rests in peace.”

Show Them Who It Made You by Kai Straw "Are you made to break, or made of stone? Will you live afraid of showing your glow? Will you step into the light, And kill the devils you hide? Oh, you can be free, my son, You've got a king inside."

It’s Alright by Mother Mother “It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay. You're not a demon, there's a reason, You behaved in that way. It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay. I believe, yes I believe that you'll see a better day.”

Hi, have you ever heard the song

"Lady jesus" by Upsahl

At the peak of my locked tomb brain rot I always saw Gidoen/Kiriona for some of the lyrics

I'd love to hear your feedback or possible vision of it

oh, this is fun. hadn't heard this song before but I agree, it has some good Gideon/Kiriona lyrics. I am assuming you're approaching this with an animatic in mind? If you're not then I do apologize, but that's what I'm imagining so I'm gonna ramble about that and I hope it's still helpful lol.

I think the first step for turning something like this into an animatic (or lyric comic or whatever else you want to do) is to think about what message you want in the art. How complex is the story you are presenting? Are you diving into Muir's themes and messages? Or is your intent to make something that looks cool to show off a character and their personality? etc.

For example, one way I could imagine a "Lady Jesus" animatic as a semi-chronological Gideon >> Kiriona transition narrative, maybe told in a bit of a "you're probably wondering how I got here" sort of way. But there's plenty of possibilities besides that. You could focus on the triumph OR the tragedy. Like if you want Gideon to look really cheeky and badass then the vibe of the music supports that, and you can make it all glasses and swords and biceps and chussy out etc. Or if you want some angst, then it still totally works as a representation of the facade Gideon/Kiriona puts on at different moments of the books. You could even pull from BOE stuff...or you can focus way more on the Lady Jesus part of Gideon sacrificing herself for Harrow and even bring in GideonHarrowBod from htn. You can take the lyrics and compose your imagery to make it like the story is from Kiriona's pov and she's relating it directly to an audience, or you can use the music as a sort of parallel/relevant backdrop to whatever the visuals are, and so on. It really depends what you are interested/inspired to do.

I see a strong case for a sort of satirical narrative of how much Jod sucks told through the pov of Kiriona so if I were adapting the song that's probably what I would go for.

I think one of the first "look at me now" lines could be like Kiriona all tower-princed up, but then a later one is one of the scenes from ntn where she's absolutely miserable (killing Crux, in the truck watching Paul's birth, etc.) Same with "she's back, she's bad". Take advantage of the double meaning of words and use it for devastation :)

First verse works great for establishing Gideon's death. You can use "crying every night/sacrificed her to sleep" for sooo many scenes tbh. Add Harrow into the scene and do something angsty, or maybe it's just focused on Gideon's frustration in Drearburh compared to how Kiriona has achieved what she wanted (joining the cohort, knows who her parents are, etc.) but it sucks. Or maybe it's just saddest girl in the whole entire world getting her own moment.

"It's the second coming...middle finger to the sky" following can be a Kiriona intro also, either scenes directly from the text or a bit of headcannon supported by what Kiriona tells the other characters she's been up to. Just like a "oh hey i'm gideon 2.0" sort of thing.

"She's speeding down the 5 cause she already died" is another place that any sort of death or ressurection imagery (literal or metaphorical) pairs with nicely

"She got em kneeling like" - depending on what angle of story you're going for this could be like Harrow kneeling next to Gideon's body or it could be Kiriona Gaia and Ianthe Naberius doing tower prince shit (maybe next to Jod, perhaps in a room with "worshipful subjects". Or more brutally: on a battlefield surrounded by dead...herald beasts or otherwise. Gotta double check the text on that. Or just like. on the New Rho broadcast or sthng)

The bridge bit with "we all know God was a baddie but so was Jesus" would be perfect for some sort of 'Gideon's parentage' scene imo. Add Wake in there somewhere for me <3.

If you want to add some complexity to Kiriona's tragedy you could insert a Jod backstory moment at "Rose from the coffin, now I'm a prophet...blessed if I broke your heart."

Idk I have lots of little ideas coming to mind but it really really depends on what your end goal is! I also would like. Read through excerpts of the books and stuff because I'm operating completely by memory for this rn lol. Usually when I start art projects I do a massive brainstorm and make a ton of notes and thumbnails of all my ideas and then pick from the best and most cohesive ones. I also like to try and pull from my experience (of reading the books or whatnot) to inspire compositions and mood. For example I know when Kiriona showed up in ntn there was this huge shock of "woah, Gideon got so mean." And ofc as you read you understand WHY, and maybe that she's always been a little bit like that, but point is I think that attitude that Kiriona displays would be something I would personally pull from as inspo.

In conclusion: sans spending the time to storyboard something this is what comes to mind and how I would approach refining any ideas. Hope it helps a bit!

I was tagged by @nixieteeth !

I had to think about this because my Spotify on repeat Playlist feels inactuate 🤨

So!

5 songs I have on repeat

○Call Me Little Sunshine by Ghost

○Red Wine Superova by Chappell Roan

○Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter

○The Night We Met by Lord Huron

○Lady Jesus by UPSAHL

I'm all over the place with my tastes, but this is also songs I've had consistently have stuck in my head this week lol

I'm adding @nox-sonata @timballisto @cursed-druid and @dampfnudeldove to join along!~

Technically I listen to a lot of Chappells songs on repeat because I Run and sing to them at the gym

Ghost, it's an ear worm since RITE here RITE now, and I'll listen to that album multiple times during the week too lol

The night we met and Lady Jesus is in my Locked tomb animation Playlist, for if I ever actually manage to draw again.

Please please please is self explanatory, I can't get away from it lol

[ragtimebanshee]

@wheatbeats tagged me in a "List 5 Songs You're Really Into Right Now" thing and I took a few days to think about it so here you goooooo! (No order, just vibes)

Lady Jesus by UPSAHL. A solid bop, subversive and victorious. Very pleasant to live into, especially in these trying times (barn closing oop)

What A Catch, Donnie by Fall Out Boy. The sorrow? The simple chords of my childhood?? The references to SO maNY OTHER SONGS???? Fucking dying. If I were a young man, I would wear shirtsleeves and a vest and play it at twilight under the lilacs. Fuck.

DO YOU DOUBT ME TRAITOR by Lingua Ignota. Baru cormorant x Han Mi's Lament. Julius Caesar vibes. A curse be upon the head of N--- and J---, my bosses. I sing every word to them from the bottom of my heart and I hope they rot ✨

More Than A Friend by Girli. I saw her live a few months ago. She's magnificent. The power and longing in this song, the way you can scream it. The aching.

Hush by Kroh and Mizz fish. The joyful, delicate capering. It's FUN. It's all the vibes of my old d&d party. Also "chaos is a good, there's grace in the irony" is such a GOOD line, my soul kinda just glommed onto that one.

Honorable mention to Weed La Weed, because I've been looping it all week

I'd like to tag @a-corndog-named-schibbs, @pencildragon11, @wizardysseus, and @esinofsardis. No pressure ofc but I like all y'all, so, hey

[poprocklyrics]

I filled my head With common sense I did all of the things that everybody said So how come all the worst days Are in the time of my life

Time of My Life, Upsahl

@nothisislyra tagged me yesterday so here are top albums I've recently listened to.

Lady Jesus (2021) by UPSAHL. I fell in love with the title track and finally listened to the album. Didn't disappoint. Would recommend if you like angry fem music (which I do)

Open Mouth, Open Heart (2021) by Destroy Boys. The chorus of "Drink" is so stuck in my head. Would recommend if you're looking for a lesbian indie rock album.

Diamonds & Dancefloors (2023) by Ava Max. What can I say I really love this style of pop! It's like the music equivalent of popcorn for me. I never get sick of it. My fiance and I made a playlist of her music and Dua Lupa's bc they have similar sounds and I'm addicted to the playlist.

Garbage (1995) by Garbage. It's a classic grunge album. Would recommend if you're looking for music that encapsulates the failgirlcore.

I'll tag @herequeerdontgivebeer, @raesteagarden, and @spill-the-tea-with-tommi

But, would love to hear from any of my mutuals about what they're listening to <3

who? @ismaelabdel where? lupercal clinic, ismael's office notes: doing the randomize top songs thing and got lady jesus by upsahl

"I like what you did with the place," she says, opening the conversation for Ismael's questions as she closes the door behind her and she leans against it as her shoulders sag. Her sabbatical has helped, but she is still so tired. The weight of the forgotten future presses against her, the fear of losing control once more hounding her steps no matter how far she runs. And she had run far, during her free time. All the way to Siberia, down to India, across the Atlantic and back. Traveling had been freeing, but it didn't make her forget. "I am sorry," she begins to say, struggling with the apologies swelling on the back of her tongue. "I am sorry for everything, specially for not being able to keep you alive in the future that wasn't."
