Today in 1990, Birdhouse In Your Soul was released as the first single off Flood. Here's the great short-lived version from a 2003 radio show that used Dr. Sample's Wicked Little Critta backing track 🙌

I really enjoy Flowey and Papyrus’ relationship, and honestly don’t find any interpretation of it as extremely offensive cause IT IS REALLY WEIRD Some people are like Forgettable AU and others are like Flowey Is Not A Good Life Coach ITS QUITE A SPECTRUM- and those are my 2 favorite Undertale fan creations so YIPPEE!!! I do not support the creator of Flowey Is Not A Life Coach btw- i found out about their other fics like months after I finished it

I think this song does it justice in the VIBE and the constant “im your friend, but im not really your friend, well actually im your only friend” LIKE THATS SO THEM NO MATTER WHAT INTERPRETATION YOU FOLLOW

im definitely gonna TRY to make at least a whole storyboard/animatic (i have no problem showing the whole plan i had cause ITS DEFINITELY OUTDATED I MADE IT A YEAR AGOEDHHDSHB)

lastly, proof that I used to fucking love they might be giants (and still do) (and that i have been thinking about this with an undertale amv for a while)

Summary: They can't tell you their real names, or their dæmons' names. The Yeerks are everywhere. But they're going to fight back.

Author: @featherquillpen

Note from submitter: A really really good animorphs rewrite. Also a fantastic look at what a society with daemons would actually look like

FOURTEEN DAYS OF CUPID’S ARROW DAY TWO: À LA MODE

ship: leo stotch/rhiannon moore word count: three hundred rating: general audiences warnings: n/a summary: rhiannon bakes a pie for one of her closest friends. this is totally a display of uncomplicated platonic affection. (spoiler alert: no, it isn't.)

“You made this for me?” Leo asks, faint pink dusting his cheeks and a smile tugging on his dimples as he looks away and taps his knuckles together— an infuriatingly adorable nervous tic he’s had for as long as Rhi has known him and then some.

She’s glad he’s not looking at her; she doesn’t want to have to come up with an excuse or justification for her own blush.

“Who else is in this room to take it, buttercup? Of course I made it for you.”

Bitterly cold days are always made better with a sweet treat and a friend to share it with, she reckons. And he’s always been a good friend.

That’s it, that’s the only reason she wanted him to come over. Because he’s her friend. Her best friend, even. One of her dearest friends, at the very least.

(It definitely wasn’t to impress him, after all— the pie almost certainly tastes better than it looks, with lumpy, broken latticework and nearly burnt apple filling oozing through the gaps. Not her finest work, not by a long shot.)

“Aw, you’re the sweetest, you know that?”

“Probably not sweeter than the pie— I think I used way too much sugar,” she grumbles. It’s a deflection, and not a very good one, because she can feel the heat creeping up her neck.

She really had no idea how to take a compliment, and whether he realized it or not, Leo was constantly testing her limits in that regard. One of these days, she’d learn to just say thank you.

Not today, though.

Today, she busies herself with cutting him a slice and digging the ice cream out of the freezer, and resolves not to think about it too much.

There’s always tomorrow to get her feelings in order.

my friend said (cough cough @heartsfrombevie cough cough) that this song reminded her of me and i think im in love

Footi's Back! (Setlist Recap)

(keep in mind, this isn't real; just pretend that it is)

Thanks to everyone who came to last night's show to celebrate both Flood's anniversary, as well as Footi's return to the stage after several months.

As you may know, this show was performed without a backing band, just me, Footi, Chao, and a backing track.

Before we get to the setlist, here is a sort of key to explain certain things in the text below…

This means that I sang a song and no one else.

This means that Footi sang a song and no one else.

This means that I sang a song, with Footi on backing vocals.

This means that I sang a song, with Chao on backing vocals.

This means that Footi sang a song, with me on backing vocals.

This means that I sang a song, with Footi and Chao on backing vocals.

This means that Footi sang a song, with Chao and I on backing vocals.

When “->” is shown right before a song’s name, it means that we went right into that song, with little to no banter.

Alright, here’s the setlist for last night’s show (with fun facts for some of them):

(began with Countdown Intro over the PA)

1. Lie Still, Little Bottle

W/ "The Stick"

Before the song, we joked that when saying The Stick's name, you always have to include "The" right before "Stick" (referencing The Cheat from Homestar Runner).

2. Someone Keeps Moving My Chair

3. Dead

Before the song, I mentioned how I was jokingly called a fake fan for not listening to this song.

4. Kiss Me, Son Of God

Before the song started, I made a passing reference to the time that TMBG played this song on TV, but then the broadcast stopped once they sang a certain part of the song.

5. Ana Ng

W/ Chao singing the "I don't want the world" part.

6. Your Racist Friend

Since this coming Monday is MLK day, we dedicated this song to him.

7. Particle Man

8. Lucky Ball & Chain

9. Whistling In The Dark

W/ Footi playing the chest-mounted bass drum.

Played in B Major, like how the Johns played it before the backing band (rather than C Major like how it’s played nowadays).

Before the song, we joked about how the chest-mounted bass drum was invented just for this song.

10. Don't Let's Start

Before the song, I mentioned how this song was used in a PBS Kids GO! bumper, while also referencing our tv performance of "Kids Go!" from a few weeks ago (which featured Footi on guitar).

11. -> The Famous Polka

As shown by the colored text, we did in fact sing the ending lyrics.

12. Chess Piece Face

13. Hearing Aid

14. Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

Technically this was Footi on lead, with me on backing, but it could also be vice versa (you could go either way, really).

The song started out in E Minor (same key as Cage & Aquarium), but after the long pause between "I can't say" and "no you can't go back", where we added reverb to the mics and yelled lyrics as if we were on the floor (similar to performances in 1992), the song switched to F Minor (the song's original key).

15. -> (She Was A) Hotel Detective

16. James K. Polk

We performed the original version of the song from the Istanbul EP.

17. 32 Footsteps

W/ Footi playing the "Special 20" harmonica.

Similar to Whistling In The Dark, I stated that this particular harmonica was created just for this song.

18. Birdhouse In Your Soul

Played in its original key.

19. Cowtown

Just like TMBG, we had the audience do a square dance for this song.

20. Road Movie To Berlin

21. Twisting

22. Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes

Encore #1:

23. Shoehorn With Teeth

W/ Chao playing the glockenspiel.

Footi and Chao wore long, rolled-up carpets for hats.

24. Mr. Me

Encore #2:

25. I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die

The reason I colored it like this is because aside from Footi singing the first verse alone, and me singing the second verse alone, neither of us were labelled as "backing vocals".

26. Cage & Aquarium

27. -> I've Got A Match

28. Sapphire Bullets Of Pure

29. She's An Angel

Apologies if I have to reblog this, just in case I can't fit all of the song names into the tags.

Also, expect a reblog of the previous concert for that same reason later today.

And don't worry about the Fridays shows, I'll get back to that soon.

[fungalleech]

I can draw humanoids too. Wow. Crazy.

Anyway this is my angel character,,.., he's so sillay.,.., inspired by birdhouse in your soul (1987) and a guy i made in this -> https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1855819 picrew

and here is the picrew creation.

Make a Little North Pole in your Soul

There's a painting incased in glass

Of reindeers of years gone past

Which guided Santa's Sleigh

And did it pretty fast

Though I respect that a lot

I'd be fired if that were my job

After killing Rudolph off

And countless screaming orphans fraught

----

Lie Still Little Reindeer

Lie still little reindeer

And jingle my jingling bells

Eggnog's not enough for me

I need a better spell

One candy cane at the bottom is singing my favorite carol

I know I must investigate, I hope it's Hark the Herald

[cara-carabowditbowdit]

hi i made an animation :))

[edwards-exploit]

[snandtnurtle]

9 for the spotify wrapped ask game!

my #1 song was birdhouse in your soul and my favorite lyrics from it are "not to put too fine a point on it / say i'm the only bee in your bonnet"!

[birdhousemp3]

I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend But I am Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul I have a secret to tell From my electrical well It's a simple message And I'm leaving out the whistles and bells So the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly My name is blue canary, one note spelled l-i-t-e My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend But I'm a little glowing friend But really I'm not actually your friend But I am There's a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Which stood on rocky shores And kept the beaches shipwreck free Though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts Bluebird of friendliness Like guardian angels, it's always near Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul And while you're at it Keep the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it) Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the) Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul) Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it) Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the) Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul) Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Make a little birdhouse in your soul
