Since I can't, y'know, shut my mouth, I decided it's better to make a whole ass post about this so thank you @juniperjello for asking.
Here are my Top 13 Destiel Traxx AKA Fic Recs:
And This, Your Living Kiss (M) is a GODSEND I've read this more times than I can count, I even have NerdyNerdenstein's podfic of it saved on my phone, it is that good. It stars poet! Dean relearning his love for the arts and Literature professor! Castiel, whose favorite author just so happens to be Jack Allen (AKA Dean). I also love love loved the family dynamics here, it's all so homey and cozy. The poetry in this is stunning too. Highly recommend this one!
A Thousand Lies (E) follows con artist! Dean on his latest assignment of unraveling rich businessman! Crowley's secrets by playing as his secretary, all the while juggling dates with accountant! Castiel. Except there's more to them than meets the eye, and the plot gets thicker and thicker until you find yourself stuck to your phone for more than 4 hours, hopping from one chapter to the next. Yes that's exactly what happened to me lmao I was hooked, and stories like these where the angel fam are humans are always so fun. I love spotting the parallels and whatnot.
(goldenraeofsun, author of the previous fic, has a ton of fics I highly recommend so if you vibe with their style, go check out their account! I was torn about what to put here between "The Original Apple Pie Latte", "Not the Fire, but the Spark" and this—also I'm pretty sure I have half of their works bookmarked by now 😭)
Forget-Me-Not Blues (E) has all the correct vibes of a classic early 2000s romcom. It's set in Sam and Jessica's wedding, with Dean as the former's best man and Castiel as the latter's. Oh, and did I mention they have history? A particularly roughly-broken high school love story? That they absolutely refuse to acknowledge so now the wedding prep is so full of tension it's choking everybody? Yeah... This is a good one.
An Exercise In 'Worthless' (M) is one of the first destiel fics I've ever read. At that point, I was only on S2 or S3 and had no idea what was happening or who most of the other cast was, but the vibes were immaculate and reading it again as I progressed through the show, it just kept getting better. It's got tattoo artist! Dean whose shop is set up beside Gabriel's cafe (it's called the Physical Graffitea heh). It's got grad student! Castiel attending the same uni as Sam for a niche course in dialects. It's got Dean thinking Cas is more interested than Sam (missing the heart eyes Sam and Gabe are giving each other). It's got family feels!!!!!! as these four idiots live normal, non-supernatural lives!!!!!!!
Kissing Strangers (T/E) is a happy(!!!!!) queer awakening story, wherein Castiel realizes he's not as straight as he thought when he gets kissed by Dean for a social experiment. There's actually three fics in the series, the first one covers The Kiss while the next two are insights on the progress of destiel's relationship. It's really neat, and the author—sharkfish—has a lot of fics I've been reading this past week. (They have a lot of good ace! dean and/or ace! cas fics!!!!!!!!!!)
In Due Time (Dean Winchester is Saved) (T) is not only touching as hell but also mind-blowing. 26-year-old Dean is zapped to the future by an unknown power, and what does he see? Himself, happily settled; married to an angel of the frickin' lord with a son; and his brother, still hunting. THIS FIC IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM!!!! Baby Dean interacting with Cas means So Much to me.
Broadway Musical (T) is, in my humble opinion, an absolute banger and a classic. It's got the fun, lighthearted tone of a romcom and my favorite trope of "they may all be dicks but at least there's no murder" with the angel family. It's a reimagining of the first ever Armageddon: what if, instead of being the Righteous Man himself, Dean was chosen to father the two brothers of old with Jo Harvelle, with the entire Host of angels excitedly chattering about it in heaven. Except the cupid's arrow doesn't sink in, to either Dean or Jo, and they don't fall in love. So good ol' Cas comes down to take matters into his own (awkward) hands.
Sand and Salt (E) continues off of S9 fallen angel! Castiel. The timeline is important to me for two reasons, namely: Kevin and Charlie. Destiel are highlighted at the second half but the first is just Sam, Dean, Kevin, and Charlie helping Cas settle in as a human. They go to a mall to shop and eat and bond and they are so, so precious to me.
Carnival Oasis (E) is a series as well, but it's honestly SO worth it. We have creature! Castiel who eats sin and extremely guilty! Dean who first confessed his sins to Cas as a way to gauge what the fuck he is. But then he kept coming back. They get all gooey and shit here, as they should be. Plus the reveal on Cas' background??? It made me go insane I swear.
Convenient Husbands (E) is honestly just. So good. I've reread it multiple times over the past few weeks and it never gets tiring. This one's about hunter! Dean and Garuda! Castiel forming a marriage bond... Purely for convenience, of course. I'm also obsessed with the set-up of the hunting community in this AU, they got a whole network and base and it's awesome you should definitely read it. (Annie D also has a lot of fics on AO3 that you should check out—I'm very partial to "It's Always the End of the World Somewhere"!!)
This Witch!Cas AU series is based off of probably my most favorite story prompts to ever trend in Tumblr history: it's about witch! Cas who's moved to town after his grandmother's passing. Madame Novak's will is all that everyone's talking about, as it states that Castiel needs to marry to not only inherit the estate but also to keep his magick. Gardener and shopkeeper! Dean finds this tasteless, what with everyone treating Cas like he's just some prize and not, y'know, a person. Then, Castiel makes an announcement: he ties the key to the estate to his cat's collar, and whoever gets the key may take his hand as well. Everyone scrambles to chase after the surprisingly smart feline... except for Dean, who's slowly warming up to the little guy, and the cat to him in return.
it's brighter now (G/T) is actually a series but!!! It's a babyjackverse like come on, how can you resist that? This speaks for itself and it says all you will ever need in a fic, which is BABY JACK!!!!!!!!!!
conversations between brother & sister (T) is, simply put, criminally short but perfectly encapsulated my ideal ending for Supernatural. It's two fics; the first is about Jack and Emma, and the second is about Jack and Claire. The reason this is here is because I am a firm believer that this deserves more recognition and love and we need more AUs like this. Destiel are so, so tender and sweet but the main focus is, of course, Jack's conflicting feelings. I would leave a hundred thousand kudos on this if I could.
#honestly i had a REALLY hard time picking#these are simply the ones I've gone back to time and time again#they're the perfect digestible length for me to binge between breaks and stuff#i could do a whole other post about this with actual categories and shit#this fandom is insanely huge it's easy to get lost or overwhelmed with your choices#i know i was...#spn#supernatural#destiel#deancas#spn fic#spn fic rec#supernatural fic#supernatural fanfic#supernatural fic rec#dean x cas#cas x dean#casdean#dean x castiel#dean winchester#castiel#spn dean#spn cas#castiel angel of the lord#jack kline#claire novak#spn gabriel#sam winchester

for the music asks: 5, 8, 23? also hiiii rain world & murder drones fan :D
Hello fellow RW and FNaF fan!! :3
5: A song that needs to be played LOUD
Been kinda obsessed with this one lately tbh lol
8: A song about drugs or alcohol
Idk about being about drugs or alcohol but it mentions it, and it's mainly about partying as the title would imply
23: A song that you think everybody should listen to
Idk why, I just keep coming back to this song. It's frickin' pawesome. The Chonny Jash remix is also an absolute banger

I find myself thinking about the Ghostbusters franchise a lot, especially how I was terrified of the first two films as a small child but grew to adore them as I got older.
I like many others didn't care too much for the 2016 reboot, but Afterlife was so frickin awesome and was a real tearjerking experience.
I love the improvised humor and special effects of the originals, and the cartoon slaps too.
Can't forget the absolute BANGER of a theme song either.
I've always been an Egon stan, so imagine my joy when I watched Afterlife.
Ok. Ghostbusters rave over.

Another unwanted presentation for you to read (or not)
TRIGGER WARNING: I mean it's just detail but I do mention non con briefly and just a lot of gay booty
Why hello Tumblr.
Since my brain didn't let me open this app a lot recently for??? Some reason?? I'm gonna take my revenge and do a full presentation about a song I associate with paras. Because that's fun.
Now this isn't the first para song I wrote down, FAR FROM IT, but I really love it okay leave me alone 🥹
It's called ''Middle of a Breakup'' by Panic! At The Disco, tis about a breakup (would you have guessed??) and people having a bunch of sex which is always fun to hear about. I associate it with two of my paras, Stryne and Octavius, who got married recently (*screeches*). Their relationship is very complicated but not toxic and definitely NOT over. The song reminds me of them not because they're breaking up (dear Lord never!! My babies!!) but because they have this unbelievable passion that just. Grrrr
Stryne
Stryne is the prince of a kingdom named Trys'han. He's an elf and rough shit happened to him and my point was he's SUPER badass. Very stoic and calm in most situations even with extreme danger. He has a very strong Laurent of Vere energy (if you read Captive Prince and you should btw), but I made him before I knew about the book which makes me a genius and C.S. Pacat's soulmate. What? It does
Stryne is known to be one of the most beautiful people ever which puts him in a lot of trouble sometimes cause some people just won't respect consent.
Octavius
Octavius is human and also insane. Like super weird. He's the most polite (and cynical) young king you'll ever meet but also he likes to break bones. Yknow. He rules a kingdom named Tarnstrang.
He actually perfectly ignored Stryne's consent when Stryne was caught as a war prisoner but what's weird is that they ended up in this weird ''enemies with benefits'' thing and they actually fell madly in love?? Idk don't ask me I thought it was weird too but now they're in a somehow healthy relationship. Please keep all questions til the end of the presentation.
The song
Now this song is a frickin banger. I absolutely love it. It has a very vintage vibe which always SLAMS
There's such a strong ''I hate you but I want your titties'' energy that you cannot hate. And the LYRICS!!
''You and me don't deserve each other'': true, Octavius is a huge asshole who doesn't deserve Stryne in the first place and yknow Stryne deserves someone better so that works both ways, BUT!! He makes Octavius be and WANT to be better so Octavius feels like Stryne doesn't deserve him or he doesn't deserve to be happy and married blah blah anyway I'm smart
I also particularly love the lyric that says ''feels like we just met''. Like. Okay. How are you so in love with someone that you feel like you're rediscovering them, I mean that is just AWESOME (sorry aro guys I have much love for you too I swear)
Okay, another one: ''I hate those words like destiny, forever and all time''. Sure they're a bit cheesy together (I mean cmon it's sweet) but they've also been through so much they don't believe in destiny and crap BUT they have found each other and that's awesome. They don't feel like they've been Miraculously Chosen, they simply fell in love and made it work. Awesome. (I'm very pragmatic if you couldn't tell 😂)
Plus: Stryne is an elf and he has been raised to speak VERY correctly so he's almost Shakespearean when he talks and it's very awesome because it clashes with this thought he has: no, there's no destiny, just facts. (Plus it allows his husband to make fun of him)
This is them btw
Anyway. That's it. I just needed to share because my brain is going to explode otherwise. I'm now crawling back to my cave ❤️

Alrighty here we go!
Relationship Status: Single, and fine with it. I'm my own girlfriend + I'm antisocial loool😆💕 Unless I can date a Transformer, in which case let's frickin get married🤩
Favorite Color: Piiiiink! Seriously, I have a problem. I love pink too much. My entire bedroom (and my side of the dorm) looks like the color pink threw up on it. I also love yellow. It's just so happy!
Three Favorite Foods: Dumplings (especially those custard-filled ones omg), jalapeños (I will literally eat those plain like a masochist. They're so tasty), and those frosted cookies with sprinkles you get in the bakery section of a grocery store. I love those.
Also, I'm neurodivergent with sensory issues, so I eat chicken tendies every time I go out. I like them cuz they're predictable.
Song Stuck in Your Head: "This is Me" from The Greatest Showman.
Last Song I Listened to: Let's see...last night I was listening to "This is Me" (hence it being in my head today) "Barbie Girl" (Been obsessed with that song ever since last year's dance recital at school. My friends did an awesome dance to it, with Barbie costumes and everything) and a whole bunch of Eurovision music I discovered via Youtube rabbithole.
If you haven't heard the song "Cha Cha Cha" by Käärijä, DO IT, you won't regret it. It's been my absolute personal BANGER all summer. I don't understand any of the lyrics because it's in Finnish, but I don't care. It goes SO HARD🔥🔥🔥
Last Thing I Googled: "How to spell jalapeño" because of the previous question LMAOOOOO. And before that, I was looking at the tv tropes page for a bunch of indie horror games because I'm a nerd. Why am I only NOW discovering "My Friendly Neighborhood?" What a cool, spooky game. Love it. 10/10.
Dream Trip: I have this really stupid dream of finding whichever location Jasper Navada from Transformers Prime is based off of, and going there. TFP helped me get through a lot of rough times, and is very special to me, so it'd be really cool do a road trip inspired by it. I at least wanna go somewhere desert-y, because I've never seen the desert. I wanna bare witness to wild cactuses existing, man. I wanna experience cactus😤
Anything I Really Want Right Now:
EXPERIENCE CACTUS🌵
Kinda wanna play Skylanders, but I'm too lazy to set it up.
Tagging:
@cyberrose2001 @witharsenicsauce @transformers-platonic @short-circuit-the-great
Get to Know Me Better Tag Game
Rules: Tag ten (10) people you want to get to know better.
Tagged by @sphnyspinspin - Thank you! I’m making a separate post because I don’t need strangers seeing everything. lol
Relationship status: Single since always, and still uninterested in changing that
Favorite color(s): I have quite a few, but gold has me in a vice-like grip (more than usual).
Three favorite foods: Cheese, potatoes, and, uh…salmon.
Song stuck in my head: Funny story: Last week, for the first time in almost a decade, I got a song stuck in my head. It felt so foreign to me. I don’t remember what the song was, though. lol
Last Song I Listened To: Where We Go by P!NK (Spotify | YouTube)
Last thing I Googled: “roles of the king and queen in chess” - I needed it for an extended analogy, illustrating how the fandom perceives Soundwave and Megatron versus how I’m writing them ;)
Dream trip: Last time, I said Reynisfjara, so I’ll go with a different location this time: The Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia [1] [2] - I have absolutely imagined doing photo shoots here with my favorite characters. The only problem is that salt, water, and metal are not a good combination (Sorry, guys. We’ll just wash your pedes off with fresh water when we’re done.)
Anything I really want right now: To finish my Big Bang fic. This is only the beginning of a story I’ve been writing in my head for over 2 years, and I’m very excited to share it.
Tagging @iamanemotionaltimebomb @xisum @greenbookreclaim @staijey-the-creator @cadet-songbird @teletraan-exe @virovirokun-has-adhd @kshahrwarmamochi @prismicnexus @elindae-writes (Hello, hello 👋 Some of you are new to my notes; others have been around for a bit.

HI so I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your podcast and I listened to Wooden Overcoats because I heard you recommend it and now i absolutely love Wooden Overcoats!!! (Both finales had me making excited screaming noises and walking around in circles in my room while i liveblogged them to my girlfriend)
Do you have other recommendations in a similar vein?
Oh my goodness, sorry for the delay on this but YAY Wooden Overcoats! It's an absolute all-time fave of ours and needless to say there was much screaming in our household as well. Would die for Antigone Funn tbh.
As far as recs go, have you listened to Victoriocity? It's an alternate-Victorian-London mystery/comedy, and Tom Crowley (Eric Chapman from Wooden Overcoats) plays one of the leads. The theme song is so dramatic and catchy, it's got really snappy dialogue like Wooden Overcoats, the voice acting is across the board excellent, and we would die for Clara Entwhistle.
Some other recs, in case you haven't already checked these out:
Death by Dying: Super dark comedy about an obituary writer in a very odd town--some of our hardest laughs in any audio drama and a show that our writers quote on the DAILY
Wolf 359 and EOS10: Likely you've already listened to one or the other at this point, they're classics for a reason, but just in case you haven't--do it! These were two of our first intros to audio fiction and have been SUPER formative in teaching us how to write comedy and drama for the medium. Really great comedies that also do a fantastic job of sneakily getting you to care about the characters SO much.
Midnight Burger: Look, this show frickin rocks. Tight writing, incredibly clear character writing, just arrives from minute one with such a strong sense of tone and identity. If you like our show's vague Doctor Who vibes, there is literally no way you won't love the crew of Midnight Burger.
Mockery Manor: More of a mystery than outright comedy vibe, but the MUSIC! The SOUND DESIGN! The SETTING! It's a murder-mystery 80s show set at a theme park in the UK, with jingles left and right. We did in fact buy the soundtrack the day it became available, it's bangers beginning to end.
Brimstone Valley Mall: Speaking of music! A 90s comedy about a group of demons who work in a shopping mall and have a band. This ensemble is a frickin delight and we love a Hot Topic joke.
Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason: Full disclosure, our producer/Narrator, Lauren, is a voice actor on this, but we think if you like the satire of our show and our particular brand of morally grey protagonists, this one will be right up your alley. We'd tell you the plot but...it's kinda right there in the title, innit?
BONUS: If you have Audible or want to do some creative searching, we also highly recommend the BBC radio shows Bleak Expectations and Cabin Pressure--both incredibly funny and well-made audio sitcoms! These two shows were our gateway into audio fiction and remain the gold standard in our mind for comedy scripts that boast a frankly ridiculous joke-per-minute ratio.
We will likely add on shows from here as we think of them, but hopefully this gets you started with something that sounds fun!

Jabitha Week Day Six: 40 Reasons why I ship them.
This is one of two, short parts I'll be releasing for today! Feel free to add on to this list if you have any other ideas :)
First and foremost, they are by far, the healthiest couple on the show.
Both Jughead and Tabitha have been endlessly supportive to each other through everything they’ve been through since meeting.
The friends-to-lovers transition was flawlessly done.
Unconfirmed Bi4Bi rep! (There’s definitely a vibe, what can I say?)
#GirlbossMalewife vibes.
They are so much fun to write!
Their humour and sass is so well matched- flawless banter.
Lovers in plaid.
Couples who commit arson together stay together (a shared kink).
Both of them are equally chaotic which means they can do crazy things without it being weird. I mean, their first date was an alien support group, followed by a key party and mothman hunt.
They have a mutual love for Archie (Jabarchie squad unite!!)
Their flirty lines are always serves.
All of their touch moments are flawless- the handholds, cheek kisses and hugs.
On that note… SPIN! FREAKING! HUGS!
Every time they dance it gives me a rush of serotonin.
Tabitha’s really helped Jughead with his sobriety! When he relapsed, she was gentle and kind about helping him, which I love.
They are a literal power couple- an angel and portal opener? Hell yeah.
A shared love of Pop’s (and food) is an excellent foundation for a relationship.
She’s his muse 🥺
All the nicknames- Jug, Tabs, Tabby (we need more of that one!)
They are such an adult, stead and mature couple, and they lack the drama that tends to linger around other couples.
They got not one but TWO love confessions. Endgame much?
Rivervale Jabitha were slaying; not even evil ghosts can tear them apart.
Their working together in Pop’s is so precious. Like, imagine all of the shenanigans they get up to while on shift together?
Erinn and Cole clearly enjoy working together.
Pop loves both of them- it’s just so perfect. He can be both of their grandpa.
Their relationship build up was amazing- the perfect, season long slowburn. It didn’t feel rushed at all.
They both cook for each other and it’s pretty frickin’ cute.
Their apartment has the nicest aesthetic (seventies vibes methinks??)
When he went missing, she started looking for him immediately, whereas nobody even noticed/cared. “Did nobody miss me?” Well Tabitha clearly does when you're not around.
And then again when he died, she ran to the bunker in heels to look for him.
She died and came back to life to re-incarnate him. If that isn’t true love, I don’t know what is.
Both of their duets are absolute bangers and the cutest to watch.
The way they look at each other is just 💕
Jughead supports Tabitha’s in her hopes and dreams, and she supports him in his. Every time one of them achieves something they hype each other up in the most amazing way!
When they do get an S E X scene, I just know it will be the most adorable thing ever.
If they end up getting engaged/married it will undoubtedly be the most hilarious and precious affair ever. *I wholeheartedly believe the “ring in a burger” theory*.
They have so many wonderful characteristics in common (loyalty, compassion, intelligence, etc). Their personalities and moral values make them so compatible.
All of the Jabitha content I've seen is flawless- I said what I said.
And with that said, my Jabitha mutuals and fellow shoppers are the loveliest people ever: I’m grateful to have been able to meet all of you guys through this ship.

ok real talk yall hellfire is the best disney villian song ever, no question. The chanting monks in robes of fire? banger. lyrics like "You know I'm so much purer than / The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd" juxtoposed with lines like "It's not my fault / If in God's plan / He made the devil so much Stronger than a man!!" Absolutely. Banger. The mix of organ, plainchant, and intense switching between light and heavenly harmonies and chilling, dark ones? Frickin Banger. The way it perfectly captures how religious figures can use their power and outward image of piety to abuse the very people their holy texts say they must care for most enthusiastically? Bada Bing, Bada Banger. Gives me chills every time.
#disney villains#villain songs#the hunchback of notre dame#frollo#claude frollo#esmeralda#frollo is an incel#be prepared and shiny are easy two and three but neither holds a candle to hellfire#hellfire song

❤️When you get this answer with 5 things you love doing that helps you lift your mood up❤️
Share this to 5 other blogs to share positivity.
walking. just pop on some headphones, maladaptive dream the day away… 10/10. hits every time.
using my dog as a pillow. she’s a ginormous piece of fluff and i love her.
look at that face
writing, when i have the motivation! i’ve got some absolute banger classical music playlists saved (check out oliviaalee on youtube, they make great long themed classical playlists) and when i put those on i can write for hours and get so deep into it i literally forget to pee.
eating!!!! i’m not gonna lie and say eating isn’t a comfort for me. i fuckin love food! i’ve had a complicated relationship with my body bc i’m the in-between sort of body type where i’m not fat but i’m not skinny. i have thunder thighs and stretch marks but a little stomach and big tits. food used to be something i worried about, but nowadays just fuck it!!! if i want ice cream, i’m eating ice cream!!! i have a beautiful body because i have a healthy body!!!
reading. reading’s saved my fucking life, i swear. i like to do sporadic rereads of my favorite series’, usually cassie clare and leigh bardugo. i also love those new-age romance books where they’re like renovated hallmark movie, but that’s my guilty pleasure. also, books like red, white, and royal blue. that is literally my favorite book forever and i think casey mcquiston is secretly god.
baking is another calming thing i love. yesterday i made key lime bars and *chefs kiss* they were so frickin good

Vivaldi's 4 seasons ranked please?
excellent question
1. winter: the drama, absolute banger, will break your fingers when playing recorder or saxophone (or any instrument)
2. summer: like chilling on a bench in the summer sun, enjoying little birbs chirping but still with some tension (probably bc youre about to overheat, frickin SUMMER) that explodes in at 1/3 of the piece
3. spring: lively, light, gorgeous, would be a tie for first if not so overused (sorry, not vivaldi's fault; very chill on your fingers when you got to play it, thats a plus)
4. autumn: not really my jam, but the last third is really nice
overall its an amazing collection of pieces, rightfully so well known; thanks for asking!

Dude this is by far one of my favorite MOC chapters I’m absolutely feral rn oh my god. Like I’m happy we finally got ahem moments with San because pls god. But omg like THE FRICKIN KID I REMEMBER YOU TALKING ABOUT HIM AND HOW HE PLAYS A ROLE SOON AND IM OVER HERE LIKE OMFG WHAT GONNA HAPPEN. And then the whole issue of her leaving omfg dude this played out way more than I imagined, like how do you just have the inevitable stuff that’s gonna happen and still add a further juicy layer to it?? Like bRO. And omfg once again you got us over here suffering over the captain’s behavior and actions aHHHH, I really wanna know why sirens are such a big deal to him. But I’m so proud of her for being like IM GONNA MAKE YOU NEED ME AND IM LIKE OK BITCH POP OFF 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼, nah when HJ said give something for Jisung to be afraid of I WAS LIKE PERIODT AS YOU FUCKING SHOULD QUEEN. I absolutely cannot wait for her to go feral on his ass ahh. But ohmygod yeo and woo broke my heart queen. Rip my heart out why don’t you. Mingi over here vibing tho LMAO. And omfg SEONGHWA being angry like where is is directed at 👀👀👀 just all these things, and like I wonder how the rest of the crew reacted to this situation because they were way too calm when she came back sooo they had no idea and won’t know until she’s gone. But miss caly let me end this on the note that this is literally one of the best chapters and one hell of a way to end this act. And don’t worry about making up for lost time, if we gotta wait a whole month for artistry such as this then fuck yeah I’ll wait forever, and honestly it’s such a wonderful surprise to see the notification about it and being like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG and you’re immediately transported back into the world of MOC. Also might I add Yeonjun fucking hottie. I may not be a fan of heavy hurtful angst, but you write it in a way that aids the plot and easier to bear if that makes any sense. And I’m eagerly awaiting to see the aftermath of her leaving and her giving Jisung a run for his fucking money 😛, I crave violence and fear upon MOC Jisung because one hell of a power move. Does this next act involve Jin more or is he more on the sidelines? But omg just the way you write intimacy between San and MC just ohmygod it’s so precious and calming and speaks a lot on what love is and I really love reading it. I really can’t wait though for this next act and see if we get more on MC’s past too, like I wanna know what happened that one night and who she really killed 👀👀👀 Ok I’m gonna stop here for now, I’ll prob drop other thoughts throughout the week heh.
Like not @ me thinking of rereading MOC for funsies and then you drop the newest chapter JSKKCKDMF WIAT OMG I WAS READING SOMEONE ELSES RESPONSE TO MOC 41 AND I FORGOT WHAT THE FUCK DID YEOSANG MEAN BRO 🤯👀👁 LIKE IM OUT HERE STARING AT IT LIKE WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN HUH They also reminded me of like HJ clinging to San and his facial expressions like yes. You’ve made captain with such depth and morally gray area that the readers cling to him. I swear he regrets letting her go smh
SCREAMING HI BESTIE im thrilled to hear it’s one of your favorites by far what an HONOR 😭
i love the energy of this ask LKJGLKDJ it's all over the place it matches my energy perfectly thank u but god yeah there's so much going on and so much to get into and WHEW !!! im so glad it brings out all these emotions, that makes me so happy as the writer i couldn't be more happy to see my writing bring visceral reactions out of people HAHA
there's really so much nuance to this chapter just things left and right and it's crazy !!! but as for the rest of the crew i think it is safe to assume that they had no clue about hongjoong's decision or what the plans were ! but really tHANK YOU im so fucking glad it was a banger chapter and a banger end to the act, i think the end of the act is always hardest for me to write so im so thrilled this was worth it!!! sadly yall had to wait a little more than a month for this one and im still sorry about that no matter what T_T i think i love getting to surprise you guys tho it's a little surprise gift for yall for being so patient and waiting for me ❤
nightingale IS A MEGA HOTTIE i have so much planned for him i can't wait he's so sexy <3 and im so glad the angst aids the plot heh im hoping that it lightens up a bit from here on out <3 this next act is full of a LOT! a LOT!!!!! i can't say yet whether that includes jin or not tho !! we shall see in the future 👁👁🍿 this next act is really all about revealing secrets and unveiling truths soooooo i think we can gather what that means butttt we'll see we'll see it definitely ties into what yeosang said <//3 and that nuance of hongjoong clinging to san at the end was a fave of mine i loved adding that eeee <3

My Ranking of Matenrou Songs
All done in good fun and is just my silly opinion. Music is totally subjective and what I find to like may not be what you come to like. So take everything with a handful of salt. Includes all of their album songs. I’m not including the battles as that’s probably deserving its own listing. Will throw Wrap & Rap and Lesson in there for fun too.
Overall, I think Matenrou is sort of hit or ‘eh, it’s fine’ for me. It’s either such a bop, that’s all I’m listening to for weeks. Or it’s one that I might go seek out either for researching purposes or it’s just specific mood. No real in between. And that’s probably because of the major differences in their members. It’s clear they were formed because of Jakurai’s eccentricity and fondness of it. And with any of the crews, I tend to like the team ones. I just like hearing different voices coming together. Especially when theirs is made to sound nice together. So yeah.
13) Welcome U - It just didn’t feel like a Matenrou song for me. I’m sorry! I have no idea what Matenrou songs are but this just wasn’t it for me. I just didn’t vibe with it. Which is weird considering this was the first major song of Matenrou and technically my first since I did do the anime series first. But let’s put it like this, I can literally remember every other thing of the entire episode that featured this song...besides the song. Everything. But. The. Music. Of a series where the music is the focus. That’s not good. But to be fair, I more or less like one song from each team from the anime and Welcome U was not it for Matenrou.
12) Papillon - Mmm, I dunno. I like the song in theory since it is very much them just kicking back and that’s cute. In practice? I don’t know how it didn’t click for me. I don’t think it was because of the talking because that was done in Ohayo Ikebukuro and I like that one. And I do find it fun as it absolutely sounds like them talking in the car. Maybe it’s just which styles blended together? I really can’t place why I do not like this one as much. Don’t hate it, don’t love it.
11) Champagne Gold - I know! I know! I don’t know how we came to this considering I like Hifumi over Jakurai. But I just couldn’t get into this one! Maybe it was at a disadvantage because it was such a stark contrast with the others on the album. I have no idea. I do know I was a little put off by call back since it really just sounded like him in a higher pitch...which is fine but I’m pretty sure they just used a girl’s voice in an earlier part of the song and I just don’t get why didn’t use something like that for the call back. And too many champagnes. I am concerned for your liver, Hifumi.
10) The Champion - Poor frickin’ Hifumi. I’m sure he had to despair when he was looking through the verses of his teammates. Like do you guys know how to write a victory song??? Which is a shame because Hifumi’s verse and style was so suited for this sound. I honestly I don’t think it was the the verses so much as the chorus though? I know their voices generally sound deeper than most of the other divisions but felt like worked against them in this song.
9) Lesson - And I think this is the last of my ‘I probably wouldn’t look it up too often’ songs on this list. I honestly thought Ramuda took the show in this one but I mean it kinda makes sense since this was him teaching Jakurai and of course Jakurai is gonna sound clumsier than him. I find this one really cute. It also was fun listening to how the beat switched up for every lesson. I think it’s only lower because I don’t have a way to listen to it consistently. But I do think of Jakurai actually ‘putting up his white flag’ to Ramuda and Ramuda able to point out Jakurai’s strengths was also super cute and also super sad thinking about what came after this.
8) Party wo Tomenaide and You Are, Therefore I Am - Yes, I had a tie. Mainly because they have the same reasoning for being here. And that’s that they both have tripped me into their arms and not let me go. I wasn’t too into them before but both of them have grown on me. Ah, I think Party wo Tomenaide’s lyrics just ends up attacking my feels and it’s one of those pop songs that are actually sad and I don’t know, somehow that’s a subset of my music tastes. Meanwhile I wasn’t into the ‘being taken to church’ songs that are usual in hip-hop genre but I was really surprised by the content of the lyrics and it honestly sounds like Jakurai’s happy in this one.
7) Fallin’ - This may have a slight edge just because I just think of that entire frickin’ episode when I listen to that song. And I dunno, anyone else feel like this was like them testing out if Matenrou could do the pace for what would be Tomoshibi? That’s what I feel like with that one.
6) Labyrinth Wall - I feel like not a lot of people like this song. And I mean, I guess if I had think about the lyrics for a long time, I probably would be like ‘you okay over there Jakurai?’ But I dunno, the pace and the off-vocals? Banger. That swell into his chorus? Absolutely fucking great. Naaa...! Shindara doko ni--I chose this over frickin’ Tigridia for my ringtone for that part.
5) Tigridia - I originally had loved Tigridia first and that’s mainly because it was the first song I was listening to that used Doppo’s ‘natural’ voice all the way through. He has a nice voice! The sax is hella sexy in the background. Nice little bit of jazz. I’m surprised this wasn’t my friend’s favorite track tbh. But it eventually got beat out as my knowledge of hypmic grew.
4) Wrap & Rap - Look. Look you can judge me all you want but this is one of those songs that could be played while I’m at some of my worst and I can’t help but smile at it. It’s my Sugar Song and Bitter Step. It’s a dose of seretonin and has to be parsed out because I have to go looking for this song if I wanna listen to it.
3) Black or White - Yeah yeah, go ahead. Be unsurprised that my fave is at the top of the solos. But to be fair, I fell in love with Doppo’s verses and songs before I fell for him. Black and white ended up a hit for me with its vibe (although I admit I found a cover first and only realized when I going back through songs). When I learned the lyrics, I can’t help but smile and feel those words in my bones of miserable workdom. It makes my terrible shifts bearable.
2) Tomoshibi - I get so emotional over this song still. And it’s just. So. Vulnerable. I don’t know how to describe the feeling I get of actually thinking about the lyrics. And then just the music itself. It’s like a drive in the evening or early morning as it starts raining (I actually do often listen to this song on my morning drives). I’m never gonna stop getting got by the interjections of their teammates within their verses and how their tone changes after being picked up by that person. I can’t even with that--! It isn’t so slow it’s ballad-y but it’s not a dance thing. Which may be why it is just below my number 1.
1) Shinjuku Style ~ Don’t Make Us Laugh ~ - If it hasn’t occurred to y’all by now, I’m a being in love with vibe of let’s fuck shit up and being a bad bitch. And that’s all I got from this song. Like how no one heard this song and didn’t go for the throat with these bastards is anyone’s guess. Especially since that Hifumi’s best diss verse and he chose VIOLENCE. And they just? Had such strong boss energy??? I don’t know how to put it! I love the mania of Doppo’s verse and also I continually laugh because he and Jakurai literally call Doppo and Hifumi some psychopaths. Like you wouldn’t think that dealing with them. Then you meet them on the battleground and you know it’s not an idle threat. This is one of those songs that if I had to get pulled over, let it be while I’m peeling down the highway to this.

Favorite ND Soundtracks
Alright. I am a huge music nerd. For some time, I was a music major at college (I changed majors after having to take nine classes a semester because of all my ensembles). One of my hobbies is listening to movie and game scores. Some of the Nancy Drew games have some pretty great music. I don’t really know how I’d rank my favorites, but I’m going to list them in no particular order.
Shadow at Water’s Edge
Lovely traditional Japanese sound. Very calming yet it just sounds like someone is watching you.
The scenes in the city have some great music. Honestly? They are bops.
The music fits perfectly with the ambiance and mood. The music at the ryokan is haunting and beautiful and the music in the city is fun and carefree.
“Kasumi” is so wonderfully haunting and beautiful and horrifying at the same time. It’s beautiful and peaceful, and it makes me feel both sad and like I’m gonna die from being attacked by the yurei.
Some of the tracks in this don’t sound like they’re from a Nancy Drew game. They sound like they came straight out of a horror film.
Secret of Shadow Ranch
Western. Soooo western. A stereotypical cowboy movie score. I love it.
It makes me feel like I’m a cowboy in the wild west.
The guitar picking is perfect in “Dirk”. I love it so much that I listened and taught myself on the guitar and I played it too much because my sister was sick of it for a long time.
The ghost town music fits so well. A perfect combination of suspense and yeehaw.
The drums in “Lands”... Perfect. And the trombones in “Danger”... Great.
Curse of Blackmoor Manor
This score. It’s amazing. It makes me feel like I’m in an old English mansion poking around and searching through hidden passages. Oh wait...
This score seems like it should be the background music for a BBC show about royalty.
Some of the music is downright terrifying. Also, the dulcimer?! That instrument is underrated and used amazingly!
The piano and strings parts are just beautiful. “Memoirs” is one of my favorites. The use of dynamics in that piece is lovely.
This is probably the only music where a recorder sounds good.
Brigitte. I still know that song so well.
Legend of the Crystal Skull
Okay. As a jazz singer, this soundtrack spoke to my soul.
They mix horror and jazz and that makes me love it sooooo much.
I just really like jazz, okay?
“Bruno” hits different. It feels like you just walked into a 1930s New Orleans nightclub holding a cigarette and wearing a fur coat.
“Bayou” give me “Gonna Take You There” vibes.
Haunting of Castle Malloy
Say what you want about the game, but the music is beautiful.
“Nursery” still gives me chills. “Map” makes me feel like I should always be watching my back. “Grand” is rightly named.
The music in the pub are bangers.
As a Celtic music fan, this soundtrack is truly wonderful.
Warnings at Waverly Academy
This one fits the environment so well. Both suspenseful and youthful.
The cello. Ooooh, the cello. *chef’s kiss*
The violin solo... It’s so beautifully creepy and unsettling with the resonance and the reverb.
It just feels like late autumn/early winter. It has that vibe and it’s wonderful.
The Captive Curse
Again, as a musician, I’ve been exposed to lots of music, and some of that is traditional Bavarian music. This one combined the mystery of Nancy Drew games with the traditional music and it was done well.
“Girls” is both beautiful and slightly tragic. The piano, the violin, the cello, the everything. It feels like I should be out there wearing a dirndl with Nancy and remember all the girls before that have died at this castle.
Speaking of castle, “Castle” is so wonderfully mysterious. So is “Mystery”, of course. And the violin in “Legend”? It makes me feel curious.
The choir in “Creature” brings a whole new vibe to the game. Kinda gave me “Duel of Fates” vibes, if you know what I mean.
The Deadly Device
It sounds like it came straight out of a sci-fi film. It also gives me Doctor Who and Thor: Ragnarok vibes.
The repeated motif in “Research” sounds like “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas”, don’t hate me.
It fits the techie nerd vibe as well as the “hello, this is murder” vibe.
Ghost of Thornton Hall
This one. Oooh ho ho, this one. It still gives me chills. The music adds so much to the game. It’s creepy enough already, but add this amazing music and you get one of the most creepy Nancy Drew games.
Oh, did I also mention that this music will bring you to tears? Yeah.
That little bit of background choir in some of the tracks?
The brass section in “Dark” has a feel of urgency.
The OPERA in the background. UGH, IT’S AMAZING. This is coming from a person who has sang opera before and DAMN is this stuff beautiful. The vocalese is amazing.
The rhyme... The rhyme.
“Past” is so beautiful and tragic and truly captivates the sadness of the entire situation.
That one time where the drums are pretty much a heartbeat? Freaks me out. Every time. I love it.
The Silent Spy
This one has amazing music and it’s also one of the plot points in the mystery.
The link between Kate and the piano is amazing. Every time I hear the piano, it’s a reminder of Kate and her presence.
Kate’s Theme is so simple, yet so beautiful.
The bagpipes in the background add a whole new layer of sadness. I am one of those people who actually loves the bagpipes.
It feels like a FRICKIN SPY/HEIST MOVIE.
At the same time, SCOTLAND.
The use of the electric guitar is very lovely.
Labyrinth of Lies
I love it. I love it. The music belongs there.
The use of traditional Greek inspired music is wonderful and really helps with the entire ambiance.
“Souls” sounds like it belongs in the underworld.
Sea of Darkness
Hoooooly moly, I love this music. The strings, the choir, the woodwinds, the brass? Everything.
This music makes me want to go sailing.
“The Word I Couldn’t Keep” is still an amazing, beautiful song and no one can tell me otherwise because I am right.
The music in the ice caves, “Waiting” is absolutely amazing. The reverb makes it sound like it’s actually coming from inside the caves.
Midnight in Salem
Again, say what you want about the game, but the music was amazing.
Okay, they had some bops and bangers in this game. I was grooving to these tunes.
It sounds so Halloweeny. It’s so delightfully creepy. It sounds like a Danny Elfman soundtrack and I am HERE for it.
The use of the harp in these tracks is wonderful. It sounds like they also used chimes in here, which fits well.
“Feelings” is so beautiful. Another one of those hauntingly beautiful tracks that hits you in the feels.
“Family” instantly transports me from wherever I am to a small town in the mid-autumn with a little creepy vibe.
I got GTH vibes from some of these. I loved it.
The Phantom of Venice music during Ned’s phone call was superb. I heard it and instantly had flashbacks to Nancy’s not-quite-stripper days.
Seriously. Danny Elfman vibes.
Feel free to add on!! I’d love to hear more about what other people think of the soundtracks.
