Following you for your incredible William Afton take :)

thank you I’m here all night, the only bottom William Afton truther out here, I gotta be

[sbk-zgvlt]

Heyyyy, This random stranger here had an idea...

Something, something, shrinking potion mishap during potionology, something, something.

Inspired by the fact that baby crocodiles make laser cannon sounds.

Calling it one of the first years messed up the potion

Imagine being called to the botanical gardens by Professor Crewel because the loud first year from Diasomnia got turned into a baby 💀💀💀

Now, while I am admittedly a huge fan of the Diasomnia found family, I am also fond of another one: Spectral Soiree. Or rather, two science club guys who are INSANE but in opposite sides of the spectrum with their loud crocodile son.

Thinking that while Crewel originally trusted Sebek to Diasomnia, he realized that they're literally fresh off an overblot situation with Malleus 💀💀💀 He sees the first years who are barely holding it together and goes fuck that I'll pass on the kid to my club students instead

Enter: Trey Clover and Rook Hunt.

Crewel just calls them in during club time, plops baby Sebek into Trey's arms and tells them to take care of him or else he's failing them. Trey faints. Rook catches Sebek just in time.

Baby Sebek thinks Trey is his father!!! And this makes him very affectionate towards him! He would rather be held by Trey instead of Rook. Although, he does "talk" a lot more when he's with the blonde.

Trey doesn't really know what to think of the situation. Fortunately he has experience since he has two younger siblings and a whole DORM of children/lh Its just a bit awkward to explain to Riddle and Cater why he's holding a baby in the middle of the lounge. Adeuce thought he had a secret son until they realized that it was Sebek.

Rook is excited to take care of Sebek! Baby Sebek hasnt learned how to hide his croc form yet, so he has his tail and scales out. He likes to dress him up in cute onesies and calls him nicknames that arent. French for once. Sebby, Seb, Little croc, etc. If he's feeling like giving people heart attacks, he calls him Little Clover or Little Hunter.

Diasomnia actually fought with Crewel about who would take care of Sebek, but Crewel put his foot down and told them that they just werent mentally...stable enough to take care of a young Sebek.

"AND YOU GAVE HIM TO ROOK HUNT????"

"I have faith in him."

Meanwhile

"ROOK WHAT ARE YOU DOING."

"Ah! Chevalier des Roses! I am simply letting the little clover have some fun!"

"HE'S FACE DOWN IN THE WATER."

"Do not worry! He isn't called little croc for nothing!!!!"

ALRIGHTY i am no longer busy so heres my full thoughts on Newsies :DDD

tagging @royallygray and @mysteriouswolf if yall wanna read :D

ok this shit got LONG so the rest is under the cut

GOD where do I even start its beautiful its wonderful its emotional i love it so much

Ill try not to copy my intermission thoughts too much (if you havent seen those here they are)

Ok lets talk about the history of it. A quick google search says its based on a strike in 1899, and Roosevelt ran for presidency in 1901, so we'll just say the musical takes place in 1899 too (correct me if theres a different confirmed time).

During this time, work conditions are absolute shit, monopolies and trusts are on the rise, and the concept of a union has recently emerged. I really didnt need to say much of this bc its apparent in the musical, but i love historically accurate stuff so deal with it /lh

And in the musical we see the beginnings of Roosevelt's trust-busting and ideas of social equality that he acts on during his presidency (it also kinda ties into his environmentalism stuff a bit too!)

And after reading up a bit on the strike the musical was based on, a lot of the effects of the strike in the musical were historically accurate too! the newsboys could sell back papers they werent able to sell on the streets, but the price was unfortunately not yet lowered. (also, the names of the publishers in the show are historically accurate as well!!! makes my little history brain happy :DDD )

SO whats the point of all of my rambling here?

people make historical art all of the time. we see it in musicals like Annie, Hamilton, and so so many more. obviously this goes beyond musicals here, but since newsies is a musical ill try to stay with that topic.

anyway, we learn about history to learn from it. we see these past issues that our previous generations struggled with, in these art forms as to be easily digestible, and we discover their solutions. we get to see the humanity behind the issues and the conflicts they faced to overcome them. and ofc its not the only reason, but one reason these stories are told with art is to bring attention to them. people are way more likely to listen to music than study a historical textbook. so, they make it entertaining. they make relatable and lovable characters. they make people care about the show and subsequently the issue itself. all of this is to explain how and why things that happened in history are bad as to never repeat them again.

We see these topics of worker mistreatment, corrupt businesses, child labor, gender/sex inequality, and the class separation all brought to the spotlight in this show, and it does a damn good job of showing the pain and suffering they cause. the story of this show is incredible and so very important to learn about.

OK now onto the actual musical itself im done nerding out

ive done a lot of charater analysis already in that intermission post bUT WHO SAYS I CANT DO MORE HAHA

im saving jack for last bc theres so much to unpack there

KATHERINE MY LOVE <3333

Everything about her being a girlboss absolutely remains the same shes INCREDIBLE

and holy shit PULITZER'S HER DAD???? i love her even more. she directly ran away from an easy life to follow her own dreams and pursue her own passion from scratch. incredible. inspiring. mwah

i also just love her personality. shes so bubbly and happy and passionate and bright and optomistic shes the best <3

oh god crutchie. hes absolutely my favorite btw im sorry everyone else i adore him <33333

GOD his prison song actually killed me. im fully dead. deceased.

THE NEWSIES ARE SUCH A FAMILY GAHHH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH RAHHHH

the sheer ecstasy i felt when he came back and hit Snyder with his cane i could not stop stimming MY BOYYYY

the absolute definition of sunshine character. he sees everything as glass half full and wants just the brightest future he deserves the absolute world

and ik i talked about it earlier but i adore how they take such a neutral opinion about his leg. people give him shit for it, and his brother beat them to a pulp. its just a part of him and they love his whole being, so why would they not love that about him too?

Les only got better as the show went on. i thought he was a smartass before LMAOO

AND THE DATE BIT??? WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM???? AND IT JUST NEVER GETS BROUGHT UP AGAIN LMAO WHAT

i think the biggest change i felt towards a character was Davey

he grew on me soooooo much his character growth is everything to me

he went from trying to stay out of their business to teaching them what a union was to helping them start it to running it himself when jack ran off to convincing jack to come back when times got tough he is sooo important to the story

and to me. hes important to me <3

OH AND RACE

i saw people mention the name before but i didnt know which he was until they addressed him directly I LOVE THAT GUYYY

especially in king of new york hes got such a big personality what a silly guy

OK now for the guy the silly the mc jack

At the beginning he is entirely driven by both his love for his family and ofc his dream of living in Santa Fe, but atm hes just trying to get by so hes more focused on the newsies. but a boy can dream

then he gets all caught up in the strike business and only focuses on that for a while bc he wants to protect his boys

then shit goes south. they get essentially jumped, and crutchie gets hurt and arrested.

and he thinks, what was it all for? if he couldnt protect his brother (never living that down btw), whats the point of even trying to strike anymore

so he changes his focus back to santa fe. the one thing hes still got going for him.

and he gets confronted by katherine, les, and davey, and they knock some sense into him. stopping the strike isnt going to take away any of the harm done. the danger is expected, theres no way any of this could go down without some form of a casualty. so why not try to do something about it. the only way to make this situation better is to get back in the game and keep pushing for change.

and ofc the thing with katherine which ill talk abt a bit more later

in all of this, something in him changes. he dreamed of santa fe, a simpler life, one where he didnt have to worry about having to afford food and clothing for the next day.

but what he never considered was the loneliness. sure, he offered to bring crutchie and katherine with him, but hed be leaving behind so many more. and thats when he realized he never needed to get out, he just needed things to change a bit. and they did! because of the strike, living became so much more affordable. no it wasnt perfect, but it was enough to be safe and secure, just like he wanted. and he had his family beside him the whole time.

ill admit that before i sat and thought about it for a while, this ending was really unsatisfactory to me. i mean we got how many santa fe reprises? all for naught?

but in reality, santa fe would never be enough for him. hes just so used to this life surrounded by the people he cares most about and doing everything in his power to protect him, hed just be so bored, so understimulated, and hed just continue to yearn for more. that path of wanting would never come to a conclusion and hed live his life never truly being happy. so i really do thing he made the right choice in staying, because new york became his santa fe. he didnt need to seek it out, it came to him.

Ok now with him and katherine

ill start by saying i do really adore them. i feel like a lot of what im about to say might seem like i think otherwise, but i truly do think theyre very sweet

ok so every interaction of theirs in act one was. very uncomfortable to say the least. he honestly seemed really predatory at times and it just really felt like an old-timey romance where the girl doesnt know her worth so she flocks to any guy that shows interest in hr bc she thinks its her only purpose

now obviously that is NOT the truth, those were just my first impressions. Katherine is extremely capable of taking care of herself and deciding what is and isnt right for her, she likes jack purely because she can and does. she knows her worth and just likes him bc she likes him, no strings attached

i will say the first kiss kinda caught me off guard lmao. like i knew they were gonna be a thing but that is NOT how i expected that to go down. its likely just bc of my aroace-ness but i saw no sign of them actually getting together prior to that, aside from them being the main man and leading lady in the show so ofc they have to be together. i mean ig her reaction to him drawing her was a bit of a hint but still. ok maybe its just bc im demi. hadnt thought abt that until now. damn. is this a normal thing? maybe it is. maybe im being too harsh. idk lmao

anyway ill admit the kiss was successful in getting his attention and getting him to listen to her so ill give it that lmaoo but tbh i did tune a bit of their song out bc it started to make me a bit uncomfy but i did liste back to it later on. they really seem to have a healthy relationship where they both care about the other and know the other is strong enough on their own, they just both want to be a part of the other's life. its really sweet! theyre so supportive of each other!!! green flags all around!!!

the bit with him learning shes pulitzers daughter was really interesting to me. at first she tries to talk to him but he kinda brushes her off, but from then on he just kinda has full faith in her? i mean yeah he gets upset about it bc he thinks she lied to him, but i dont think he thought she had any ill intentions. that was a complicated sentence lmaoo damn. i think he really understood that she wanted to help, he was just caught up in a lot of Feelings and was afraid that she wasnt trustworthy despite him still trusting her. and then he let her explain and from then on they fully support the other and trust each other immensely

so yeah first impressions were a bit iffy but i think theyre very sweet <333

OK GOD CAN I GUSH ABOUT THE STAGE DESIGN FOR A BIT???? GAHHH

i mean the moving stairs and scaffolding arent new. i know this. but just the way they frame scenes with the scaffolding is stunning. the chase scenes??? dude. enthralling. the bits where theyre in the city and they have people just up their acting like civilians? SO cool. makes it incredibly more realistic and believable. and the way they projected images onto the curtain-like things they pulled down was extremely creative!!! like in theory its such a simple design. it was literally nothing more than the scaffolding and stairs, and a few tables and wagons and such in certain areas. but they did SO much with it it was hard to believe it took place on a stage. ofc the filming helps with that but still. the start felt like it was on the roof of the building bc of a combination of the lighting and the use of just one of the scaffolding pieces. and when theyre in buildings, the wall of scaffolding works really well as a backdrop!!! and i already talked about the city street scenes, it fits perfectly. god its so inspiring id love to be behind something like that one day

OK AND THE CHOREO??? the sheer ENDURANCE of these people HOLY I COULD NEVER. THE FLEXIBILITY? THEYRE ALL LITERAL GYMNASTS WTF ARE THESE FLIPS AND HANDSTANDS IM SORRY???? holy shit its all SOSOSO impressive

oh my god i havent even talked about the MUSIC yet

if i had to choose a favorite song, a, i would punch whoever told me that in the face, and b, i would simply combust bc i cant choose just one

my top three tho would have to be between king of new york, carrying the banner, and crutchies prison song (idk the name its not on spotify :'((((( ) in no particular order

i havent had them on repeat enough to have any memorized, but i did remember santa fe, carrying the banner, and the world will know from the last time i watched it and i belted along to all the parts i knew this music is so good at hyping me up I WANNA START A UNION

and oh my god katherines voice???? stunning. her song is sooooo good. her part in king of new york is incredible. i love her <3

jesus christ this post got out of control. im still not done lmaooo

ok one thing that really has nothing to do with the musical itself is just the fact that it reminded me of so many other musicals ive seen at specific parts, even some of the songs sound like others i know.

Santa Fe really reminds me of Maybe from Annie, both music-wise and lyric wise. i mean theyre both "i want" songs so it makes sense but i feel like they sound kinda similar too. honestly a lot of the music sounds like Annie, but maybe its just the types of instruments used and thats just how musicals sounded when they were made. i think they were made about the same time. *checks spotify* ok well the newsies i listen to was produced like 40 years after Annie so maybe that just a stylistic choice-

idk why but the beginning of watch what happens sounds like the intro to reginas speaking part in meet the plastics lmao-

oh and brooklyn's here has the same beat as the military from Seussical but thats just bc its a marching song lmao. its also the same beat as the spanish alphabet song my spanish teacher used to use!

ok and this one really doesnt make sense but something to believe in reminds me of the power in me from Twisted lmao- kinda similar message ig? and sound vaguely similar? but idk it really doesnt make too much sense

i should. i should sum it up. this is getting out of hand.

okay i love this musical sm. clearly. do you see how long this post is. i was missing out when i refused to listen to it previously. oh my god.

and for some reason it really makes me wanna go watch my favorite musical so im ending this here TO YOUTUBE I GOOOOO TY FOR READING IF YOU DID AND TY TO ROYAL FOR UNINTENTIONALLY PUSHING ME TO WATCH THIS HAVE A GREAT DAYYYY

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

im super sorry if this isnt the place to ask for advice but i wanted to know if it seems like i have npd or not (i do have bpd and hpd)

reasons why i might have it: it takes me a super long time to realize when i fucked up, i have daydreams of saving people and being a hero and being cooler than i am, i have main character syndrome /lh, when i'm hurting and other people are hurting i tend to center my pain even if they're hurting worse, my view of myself depends very heavily on what others think of me, i have dated no less than 3 people for the sole reason that they liked me/asked me out and i wanted to feel loved even if they werent really my type

reasons why i might not have it: at least every three days i have a big breakdown where i hate myself an incredible amount, i have high empathy which is likely because of autism

heyo! unfortunately i can't diagnose you or tell you if you have NPD or not, but i will say i do relate to some of what you've mentioned here (though tbf, i have BPD and HPD as well 😭.) it is also possible that the things you've listed here are due to your BPD and HPD. being in the same cluster BPD, HPD, and NPD absolutely can share traits among themselves and imo, the things you've listed here seem like they could be attributed to either your BPD or HPD.

if you still have concerns thoughs, it'd probably be best to look deeper into resources about NPD to see if you meet the criteria. i can link some posts that may be helpful:

this is a post that explains the diagnostic criteria of NPD, basically giving examples and elaborating on on what each symptoms means/how it can present. i will say this most likely isn't an exhaustive list and each symptoms can show up in different ways than listed in the post, but it's a good post for getting an idea of what the symptoms look like in action.

this is a checklist and basically elaboration of the diagnostic criteria. all the information in this checklist is things pulled from the DSM itself.

i also have a resources tag with other helpful things if you'd like to check that out!

i do also want to put out that while having no or low empathy is very common in people with NPD, it's not diagnostically required. the primary host of our system is an NPD symptoms holder and they actually had consistently very high empathy for the first around 13ish years of our life. things changed because of trauma and they now have more low or fluctuating empathy, but their high empathy at the time existed along side their NPD symptoms.

edit: i wanna make a little correction! sorry, it's been a sort of a long day and my dissociated ass seems to have forgotten what the critera says. so, from what i'm getting, a lack of empathy is in the criteria, but i will say it's still possible to have high or average empathy with NPD. you only need to meet 5 of the 9 criteria to be diagnosed and you may just not fit that criteria while fitting the others.

to the anon saying if people jumped onto the conspiracy that they've been sabotaging lewis, anon they've ( some if not most people ) already did that ever since the email gate and despite it being false people still believed it, other than that, i've seen some LH fans on ig who even liked comments from people saying "oh they're definitely sabotaging lewis this time" like imagine you're one of the strategies or part of the team and having to see comments like that every other weekend when you know yall werent sabotaging your driver like... i need people to think and use their brains what good would even do to mercedes if they sabotaged their drivers?

No and you know what it is? At some point when shit like this happened to their drivers, fans would call it bad luck.

You'd have posts going "xyz truly the unluckiest driver in this sport" or "who cursed xyz over the break" or "someone free xyz from this bad luck" or whatever.

And now it's "TP's name when I catch you" or "no teams is mistreating their drivers as bad as team name" and sabotage theories.

At some point something truly shifted in the way these things were perceived. Way before the email thing.

[systemexploration]

my friend who is a system thinks i might also be a system because i’ve been showing some symptoms. i don’t experience amnesia, nor do i forget important details about myself. i only forget small stuff, like day-to-day chores, meals i ate, and conversations i’ve had

my friend said they think i have it because i’ve mentioned dissociating a lot and i seem to have a blurred sense of identity (i’ve been struggling with my gender and sexuality for years. i’ve thought that i might be genderfluid or abrosexual but neither of those labels feel right to me)

i brought it up to my therapist, and my mom had me do a check up with a psychiatrist. both of them said i probably don’t have it, and my therapist said i’m young so obviously i’m going to be questioning my identity

but i feel like i might have it. i think i’ve had alters front before, and i think i have a few? i don’t know. i don’t if i’m making all of this up for attention or if i’m just crazy

first of all (/lh) if those are experiences you have had, you arent making it up! your experiences are valid whether or not they connect to being plural or being a singlet

long post below!

(for some reason i didnt write this in order of the topics you brought up) (also all this is /nm and /npa! i apologize if the way i word things comes across a little aggressive, i struggle with sounding serious but not mad sometimes)

but onto the main topic, i do agree that it is very common for teens (ik you just said you are young, im assuming, but also talking generally /nm /lh) to question their identity a lot! its part of growing up, figuring yourself out. our core, Mouse, went through many, many sexuality/orientation labels before settling on aroace. those werent a part of our systemhood btw, those were just part of Mouse's self discovery. a struggle with labels can definitely be a sign of being plural but also it can be part of the identity stuggle that a majority of teens face.

about the amnesia and forgetting things. amnesia isnt a need for being plural. having trouble remembering things is a part of being plural but it also is a part of being a singlet. there is a normal amount of short term memory loss for people but it can get to a point where there is a reason for it or something that is causing it. we have a friend with autism and adhd who experiences more short term memory loss that is considered normal. with plurals, there are many different ways memory is handled. it can go from headmates having their own individual memory all the way to memory being a thing all headmates can access. most of our memory is accessible but there are a couple things that only a few of us remember (we dont know what it is due to those remembering it purposely not telling us). we also can experience forgetfulness when we switch but it is usually only small things. so to sum that all up, amnesia isnt a plural requirement and forgetting smaller things may or may not be a sign of being plural.

dissociating is definitely a bigger thing than the last two topics. if you dissociate a lot then that is something that i would recommend looking into and bringing up with your therapist if you havent. people can dissociate a few times in their life without it being a result of something but it happening a lot is a sign of a reason being behind it. dissociation is a part of plurality (not required) but there are also dissociative disorders that arent DID or OSDD (though non disordered plurals can still dissociate.). i am not at all trying to say you have a dissociative disorder, i have no place to say that, but i do recommend talking to your therapist more about it and looking into stuff about it yourself!

and finally, if you think you have had alters front before then definitely keep researching stuff about plurality! try to pay more attention to when you remember things vs when you dont, your mindsets/personalities, and try to see if you can call out to anyone in your head to see if they will straight up respond! if you do feel like anyone is there but they are still vague, try to give them a name and refer to them as a separate person than you. that can help with clarity and communication. (all /nf)

overall, with the experiences you have talked about, there are definitely other things that can be the cause but that is the case with most mental divergencies. the fact that there can be other reasons doesnt mean that it is definitely not plurality. if you are more confident that it might be plurality i do think you should continue to learn about it! unfortunately i cant give you a yes or no about being plural, that is something you are going to have to figure out yourself /lh

absolutely feel free to continue to ask questions if you continue looking into plurality though!

your blog highkey makes me feel the safest to voice opinions on this god forsaken website, but i don’t know if it’s just me but i swear clingy duo apologist are some of the weakest links in the community /lh and /nm

but like genuinely like most other apologist do realize that their character of choice has done wrong from other points of view, but that’s why we find them interesting. complex characters are what make good stories. but rarely do fans of tommy and to a lesser degree tubbo ever look at other points of views. they seem totally tunel visioned and like i try to keep an open mind. ive gotton so tired of their takes. i just see something that is mild tommy apologism and i scroll so hard. like they can still be your favorite but you need to acknowledge that someone can both be ‘tramatized’ and ‘tramatize’ others

idk if other people who enjoy mainly techno and phil feel the same but i just wanted to air my thoughts

WGEODVDJ YOUREEE RIGHTTTBYOURE RIGHT I FEEL U

Whenever i see techno n phil fans out here like 'they did nothing wrong' or some goofs like that i like. I can look at it and i wont Instantly think 'well obviously they think both phil n techno can do no wrong and have Never done wrong'. Because more often than not like. Techno n phil fans jus Get It. Our lads r a little fucked up and Complex. Thats whats so fun n Good bout em. If they werent morally complex im damned sure a lot of us wouldnt be here vibin so hard.

But like u said e tommy n tubbo like. Usually 'they did nothing wrong' is said with Absolute Sincerity. Which is BORING. Whenever i see Tommy Takes or analysis i just. Scroll past too.

Ppls need to look at tommy n tubbo n be like 'ya u a lil fucked up. Love u tho' n ill respect That absolutely

[squeezes you like cat squeaky toy] tell us. spill how the parents function, funny man /lh

hehe I am the funny man. Now to ramble abt a thing I briefly mentioned on discord

Ok so Robert's parents are. absolutely different people. I do not mean in parenting styles, for the most part Adeline and Harvey were actually incredibly similar when it came to the upbringing of the first 3 children [Robert's brothers Terry, Bradley, and Felix]

It was after the triplets [Robert, Paul, and Donavan] were born that things changed and that was. solely because of Robert. It was hard to notice at first, because the three were so young at the time, but as the triplets got older it was clear Robert was different.

he displayed behaviors that would be considered bizarre by many but his mother, Adeline, took it as a sign of advanced intellect. Whether or not this was properly proven is unknown.

In short, while she and Harvey [the childrens father] tended to the last 2 children [William and Talecia], as well as parenting the eldest 5, Robert's intelligence was. exploited in a sense. Adeline would take him to doctors and college professors and they would examine him and see what was going on in his mind. She actually sold the rights to what he knew for a hefty amount of money and went to a lot of fancy dinner parties to discuss Robert and his unique brain.

Adeline slowly ceased to focus on Robert, as she felt he was smart enough to care for himself and even his brothers+sister. She properly parented the other 7 with Harvey.

None of the other children were treated this way. They all displayed similar psychological characteristics to Roberts, but werent deemed as intelligent as Robert, according to Adeline.

Harvey tried his best to treat Robert like a person rather than a computer, a piece of meat used only for the knowledge it had accrued over the years.

He tried in vain. Robert ended up being the absolute worst thing to happen to the Charleston bloodline. Nearly sadistic, even.

Now you might be thinking "hey you said the parents were different. different how??" and different as in Adeline exploited and exposed her sons intelligence to make her social circle skyrocket into the air. She became powerful due to her sons brain. Scarred him mentally, threatened him often, and forced away his sense of humanity, but it didn't matter. She was popular.

Harvey disliked this about Adeline. Had things been different, however, Admin wouldve never happened. Robert's sense of right and wrong, his ability to feel empathy, everything was stripped of his mind after a particular incident with Adeline.

He is supposed to take medications so he can at least regulate his anger. Adeline told him not to as it would alter his mind for the worst. Harvey no longer had a say. His son was gone and he only had this shell to prove he existed at one point.

Robert is a bad person. Psychologically disturbed and incapable of doing the right thing, mainly due to the abusive actions done by these higher up scientists and professors, but still a bad person. One who refuses help, which ultimately led him to his demise after the one thing he created with a heart and mind turned against him.

TL;DR: Adeline and Harvey Charleston had 8 children. One of them was very smart and Adeline took advantage of that. Harvey did not want to take advantage of that, but ultimately had no say and he took care of the other seven kids. Robert is a complete shell of what he couldve been, and in an indirect sense Adeline is the reason Admin killed Robert.

Little-K1ng: “dont lie to me”

Marcus: “I’m not! I wouldn’t!”

Maxwell: “thats the thing, even baroness said it shouldn't hurt”

Little-K1ng: “i really dont want you to lie to me, marcus. i dont know if i could handle that

Little-K1ng: “oh... oh marcus..”

Little-K1ng: “i understand, marcus. i dont begrudge you”

[lesbianbernardsumner]

Hey! Its thing >:)!

Its the thing i was teasing at in that post last night, and technically for like... four months? five? huh its been a bit since i second changed my url huh. Im not gonna go check or anything. If I were a bit more patient i wouldve waited for the archive collection become canon but im not. funfacterdroid is just more of my bran! Anyway! This post is my first impressions and opinions on each song on Back to the Egg! The Wings album i temporarily renamed myself after. (told ya i was gonna ramble wasnt i ydbfyufjd). It also happens to be the only wings album i havent listened to yet. And sure theres a bunch of singles and b-sides i havent listened to either, but this is the��last one! I figured it should get some of its own treatment! I know that its gonna sound different to London Town and the two before it, cause McCulloch and English arent here. I’ve also heard that this album is bad and people called Paul a sellout because he transitioned to New Wave. New Wave is my favorite genre and I guess Wings werent ever that far from it? But they’re still a rock band at heart so i dont know how that change is going to fare. Enough introduction: Lets just go track by track! -Side One: Sunny Side Up-

Reception: Its just some radio garble, an instrumental meant to introduce the album. dont really have any opinions on it. Getting Closer: JAHBUDHSAUHJDHS WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! I didnt expect such a threatening title to be so upbeat. Like... opposite of Beware My Love. I do think its odd that there is barely any backup singing? Its not horrible just weird that this song, out of all the openers, doesnt. That outro is very much meant to be like a darker part of the song, like the dream sequence from A Day In The Life, but god dammit this song is just so upbeat! so weirdly cheerful and gentle! And... only 3 minutes? Rockshow and Jet were 4... eh those albums had a lot less songs, this one has 13 not counting Reception! Same as London Town, which i also really like! We’re Open Tonight: Oooohhh!! Very soft, I think I know what its about but when taken literally, to me it sounds like a quaint little shop trying to lure you in, sinisterly. I think the bass is making it sound evil to me, but thats a great thing! Clearly its trying to be like another I’m Carrying but that song fucking sucks!!!!!! I also really like how its only 1 minute, something so haunting about it. Not sure if thats positive or negative but the songs cool! Spin It On: hHEHEYEHY!! Getting Closer.... 2! kinda. Its much much faster and i can barely understand the words hes saying... or what hes spinning. The backing vocals are really cool though. the lyrics mention a pinball table? Y.. you know pinball doesn't spin right? it falls.... Questionable lyrics aside, theres really not a lot of SPEEDY Wings songs! Glad that one of the few is also extremely good!

Again and Again and Again: WOW OKAY! this is sung by denny, all of these songs start pretty fast unlike a good chunk of their past work, but i really like that! But it also means i cannot process a single thing denny is saying, i think he said something about a school? and being in a bad situation? ah whatever. Denny used to be in an R&B band and i really think thats going to work here! This isnt an exactly a Rhythm-y or Bluesey song, but He’s clearly having fun! thats why i love wings in general, its easy to tell that the band was having fun recording a song! Old Siam, Sir: A-hmm. Paul’s doing his squeaky voice again... I guess that can work sometimes but its absolutely not complimenting the piano in the background. Also, I feel like a squeaky voice wouldnt work the best for a story song. A story thats pretty incomprehensible too? Who is this lady! What the fuck is this village!! This is the song you wanted to make 4 minutes? and it fades out too... how much did they record... Arrow Through Me: So this is the one that the critics liked? Its the most synth heavy which i understand why people like, I like synths too! I like how the bass (which i think is also from a synth?) lines up perfectly with the horns! Its alright, it might grow on me later, but now its just a passable song. One i wouldnt skip. Plus I really like the reverb effects, the whole album has em but this one really makes use!! Kinda bad overall though.

-Side Two: Over Easy- Rockestra Theme: Just an instrumental. But one thats really important to music history! I don’t actually know the full story to this one, but I do know that i really like it! Plus the vocal effects on Paul’s... Scatting i guess you could call it? Whatever it is, it works! To You: This sounds... eerily like Getting Closer. But bad... Eh I like that organ. Not much to say really... theres only like one verse. After the Ball / Million Miles: Oh cool another medley. Last one we got was two albums ago! I guess since this is technically two songs id have to... review them both? After the Ball is exactly what it sounds like. A gentle rock song about seeing your love after a party :)! Pretty standard for wings. Million Miles! Sounds a lot like After the Ball but with an accordian? Fuck I’m not complaining. But also who the fuck is Deo. Winter Rose / Love Awake: Uh- Something is,,, wrong with Paul’s voice. like he damaged it? I mean its not horrible it just kinda takes me out of the emersion? Oh we’re already on Love Awake! his voice is fine now..! Man this song is mediocre! No wonder the 70s are regarded as lame./lh Weird that Linda isn’t singing backup here? Or if she is that Denny’s voice is just drowning her out. Winter Rose itself is kinda lame but its... sweeter I guess?  The Broadcast: SINISTER!!!!!!! I do not know who is talking but this sounds... dystopian. I don’t even know what the poem is about its just... the whole song is slightly off. But i mean that in a good way! So Glad to See You Here: MAN! They were trying so hard to be punk... Okay as a punk song this sounds horrible! But as a song in general i like it! It’s not mixed the best but i really like the lyrics! And I-HOLY SHIT WE’RE OPEN TONIGHT PART TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really didnt expect that,,, thats.... genuinely cool! Baby’s Request: Oh the finale! H..huh... Jazzy! And its about going to sleep.. i think? Regardless, Paul’s good at writing songs to fall asleep to, this isnt an exception at all!! Although it is weird that at the end the same horn plays as the one in Thrillington’s Monkberry Moon Delight... Its probably just a coincidence, i thought it was funny though. ---- Okay! Overall, I liked Sunny Side-Up more as a whole since i like 4/6 of its songs, but MAN So Glad to See You Here and Baby’s Request are REALLLY GOOD-But then again. I only listened to all of these songs once, and i wont listen to them again until ive finished writing this post, just to keep my first impressions fresh. I don’t really know what else to say that album was fun as hell! So I’d give Back To The Egg a... 7.8/10! I really didnt expect to like it this much. even though New Wave is my favorite music genre, i didnt think paul would be able to do it justice! Especially since the genre was just starting itself up... heh.... hope it gets archived soon.

[elffees]

nice review!

we never saw andrew/anthony die because anthony from the 70s never died in the house fire. his mind never conjured a visual of his own death since it never happened, while everyone else’s did.

i was wondering why we never saw a “modern day” meg too and the only reason i can think of is because in the beginning, andrew/anthony (im just gonna call him anthony lol) still held some sort’ve resentment towards her. so thats why he imagined them escaping her, and imagined her as the “evil one causing all this”. the other characters constantly blaming her and andrew’s hesitance being constantly overshadowed i think also represents his complicated feelings towards her and her role in the fire.

the prompts/tiny action icons letting you know what QTEs were for was an IMMENSE improvement from MoM and honestly even UD. im so glad they made them like that, it really helped to know what we were choosing for the characters to do. 

and omg SAMEE on the jumpscares losing their effectiveness. im sensitive to jumpscares like im one of those people that go in the comment section looking for jumpscare timestamps so i can prepare myself. as for LH though, like halfway through they just didnt scare me anymore. it was usually the same one jumping out at us (meg’s ghost face) and/or it was super easy to tell when they were coming. 

one specific thing i think LH did better than MoM is make the “you werent actually in any danger” reveal happen as the epilogue. you find out in the middle of MoM that none of the ghosts are real, so the risk and fear factor was dimmed wayyyy down. it became extremely less scary and by that time you were just ready for the people to get off that damn boat. by having the reveal be all the way at end, it makes you wanna immediately replay LH to try to see different things.

i agree that the story was good. or i guess the potential it had was really good. i think they really dropped the ball with the ending. 

im interested in the curator too! the implication that even he has betters and is also going through something is very interesting. it makes me wonder if hes gonna appear somewhere in the third game as a character.

overall it wasnt bad, but imo it couldve been better. i think it was more interesting than MoM with its witch/demon lore and hinted at subplots (angela’s “bad past”, what was going on between mary & the reverend and how their ummm “relationship” even started, etc.), and the story definitely kept you guessing about what was actually going on. but i dont think it was better than MoM by too much tbh and i personally still enjoyed UD much more than both of them. nonetheless, little hope was an interesting game! its just that damn ending lol

my pointless review of little hope no one asked for
