Top 5 albums? -☀

YESS NOW THIS IS AN ASK I CAN GET BEHIND

1. Way to Normal by Ben Folds

LITERALLY my favorite album of all time. it's all bangers no misses I reccomend it to everyone and I listen to it very often. Assume all the albums in this list to be in no particular order because this is my favorite album just ever forever

2. Lost and Gone Forever by Guster

THIS WAS HARD TO DECIDE BC GUSTER IS MY FAVORITE BAND EVER and I like literally every single thing they've made but this is peak guster to me.... the album is so fun and loud and I associate a TON of the songs with my OCs. I even have a shirt of the album cover that I got the first time I saw them live :D

3. Level Up by NSP

same issue as guster i like everything nsp has made but this has been my go-to album since July.... It's a little short but sweet and in general it's just so silly!!! and I do not care what the people in comments of the the music videos say I think the level up versions of the songs are better than the originals

4. Spirit Phone by Lemon Demon

Self explanatory. this album rewired my younger, brand-new-to-the-internet self's brain. Amazing album and I need to listen to it again

5. Huffy by We Are Scientists

I listened to this album SO much when it came out, my general playlist (where I put all the songs/albums I like on one big giant playlist) the first songs on it are from this album. I was tempted to put Megaplex here instead but I cannot deny the sheer impact this album has on me...

This was kinda hard to pick because other than like my first 3 i have too many favorite albums to organize them in a linear way....... I just tried to pick albums based on their impact on me and how much I listen to them. I love music so muche

thinking about how in the phantom of the opera (the musical, not the book; it’s been… 10+? maybe even 15+? years since I’ve read it so I don’t still remember all the finer points of character nuances in the book lol) during the all I ask of you reprise, the phantom sings

“I gave you my music / made your song take wing / and now, how you’ve repaid me, denied me and betrayed me / he was bound to love you / when he heard you sing”

and specifically those last two parts— “he was bound to love you when he heard you sing” is so interesting to me like. sure he gets incredibly obsessive and weird TM about both of them as a couple / as an entity later on in the show, but during this part, he’s kind of positing Raoul as an afterthought, almost. he was bound to love you; it was inevitable, almost, everyone loves Christine’s singing; it’s the fact that Christine loves (or even just likes, at this point) Raoul back, that she reciprocates that feeling, that enrages the phantom.

I find this so fascinating because the whole plot is such a fantastic gothic story and a cursory glance might make you think Christine is written as the maiden archetype, almost helpless in the love triangle mess aspect of the plot. But I think it’s fascinating that the phantom here acknowledges that not only did Christine choose Raoul, and what’s more, choose him over the phantom, that is the part he finds as a betrayal. It’s not Raoul’s love that’s his issue; it’s that Christine wanted it, and gave it in return.

idk, it just… acknowledges her agency and autonomy in one succinct line really well, and kind of adds so much more depth to the whole second act’s drama than if she was just.. passively along for the ride? She chose Raoul, and she chose not to choose Erik.

obviously I’m not arguing that the phantom is like this great feminist revolutionary narrative or anything lol— that is kind of irrelevant, tbh, looking at the story within the context of it being a gothic novel (and for the show, a gothic novel source turned musical) and doesn’t fit well into the puzzle prices of that genre to utilize our modern ethics as an analytical tool. I’m just thinking of how fascinating it is that the controlling, obsessive, possessive, friendless, and egotistical self-loathing character of the phantom/Erik still acknowledges that it’s Christine’s choices which create the changes upon which the plot hinges. idk it’s just Cool TM :)

I also am writing this in between work stuff on a crazy busy work day so any misspeaks/misrememberings or errors are due to that lol

also aw man now I wanna go reread phantom again too :((

Kind of obsessed with this one

[wundrousarts]

I recently finished my reread of the first Nevermoor book, which is being adapted, so let’s have some discussions on how it might turn out:

1. What scenes do you think are certain to stay and which scenes do you think could be cut? What about scenes that might be combined or changed?

2.What scenes or moments do you think will have songs and what do you think the songs might be like? Like their tone, style, etc.

3. Any characters that you think will be cut, and any that you think will be combined/serve the purpose of multiple characters?

Feel free to add your own questions or general thoughts beyond these! I love talking about media adaptation <3
