I'm slowly making my way through a new project- editing the entirety of the album PUNCH by Autoheart to the Life Series.

I was originally planning to post all of the edits in order of the songs on the album, but I instead made the Lent one first and am too excited to keep it in my drafts any longer while I work on the first four songs of the album (especially since we're coming up on finals seasons and the amount of time I'll have to work on these is gonna plummet so fast). So instead, I'll be posting them as I make them and make a masterpost of them all in order at the end.

That being said, I hope you enjoy this! I'm really proud of it and a lot of work went into it.

Genuine question uh is Bruce actually super super socialist or is he just idk a Bernie supporter or smth and old men who watch fox news think that means he’s the second coming of Karl Marx ? Regardless very cool of Bruce uh idk sorry I’m new to this specific old man fandom :-)

he's always been a leftist but you're right that he has yet to release the communist manifesto: a musical. im beginning to suspect that the people leaving commie bruce comments are not political theorists. but what do i know. welcome to the old man fandom!

Heart Session 2 (2002)

[xaiverscorner]

Ohhkay ! I buried this deep in my soul because im shy, i dont understand how aO3 and tumblr works well, and the people here are different from twitter, TikTok, etc ( i mean fhis in the /pos way ever ) but. Ive seen 3 fics on this ( creds to those fics and the people who wrote them if i use ref during this ) and it makes me feel more free about talking about it.

Ajax fighting or technically almost killing swan for ( in my case ) nearly killing fox. I wrote a part of a fic about this and then deleted it because.. i can do better but! Ive seen 3 fics on it and i really wanted to talk about it. I had my own take on it.

Technically, in my book, both Ajax and Swan sees fox as a little sister, someone they’d quite literally die for. So I had an idea of Swan going through guilt and greif and running away from the situation, Rembrandt suffering with both greif and the fact that ajax is in jail, by the way none of them know that fox ( again, headcanon ) that fox is alive. Ajax gets home, Swan knows ajax will be livid and runs away from the situation. ( spoiler, ajax finds her anyway ) and! Shit goes down !

I had an idea that ajax does literally try to kill swan, because yknow.. my little sister is gone because of you.. you need to go too.. but i feel like it’d be out of character, plus, she’d probably get kicked from the gang, however that works !

I do. Want to try to write this again but im kinda scared to !

Artwork for the Double Peel Sessions by the Slits (1989)

When I shared the John Peel Session of New Town on December 5th, I also posted the sleeve of the Peel Sessions album.

This is yet another version—the Double Peel Sessions released in 1989—featuring a photo of the band members incrusted in the design.

It was created by Wyke Studios, a design studio based in Wyke, Normandy, Guildford, Surrey, UK.

All I do is try try try

I will literally never forget the first time I listened to folklore. I went for a walk around the pond outside in my neighborhood and it was cold as hell. It was such a vibe you guys. I would do anything to be able to listen to this album again. Take me to the ponds where all the poets went to die.

It is so different than anything else Taylor Swift has ever done honestly. I feel it is the lyricism of Last Kiss and All Too Well but they were introduced to depression and anxiety. Am I wrong? It is hard for me to say it is an album that divided our fandom because it brought in so many fans, but i also feel there are a lot of fans who prefer other albums over folklore.

I can totally see why and how folklore brought in so many new fans. #1 It is a completely new sound from Taylor (which is how I can maybe see why some people were divided) #2 We were all depressed during COVID and this album was a really good friend to so many people during this time. #3 It took people by surprise because there was no promo for the album. She just said "Here!" I think that there was a lot of curiosity that came with the release which brought in new listeners.

There are two songs on this album I will ride at dawn for: hoax and peace

YOU KNEW THE PASSWORD SO I LET YOU IN THE DOOR. YOU KNEW YOU WON SO WHATS THE POINT OF KEEPING SCORE? I'll admit, I was not always a hoax truther. It just didn't click. But one day I had the album on shuffle and there was a switch that was flipped in my brain and wow it is just so good. Like hello? DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID?

Peace is such a vulnerable song and we don't talk about that enough. It is like asking am I going to be good enough? but so much more than that. Taylor is a well loved celebrity and it isn't something she cannot change about herself. It is a major part who she is. "Will you accept the intrusive parts of myself and my life that I will never ever be able to change? I would literally die for you and I love your family as my own and I would do anything for you, but is my love enough? I'd also like to talk about epiphany. I personally don't relate to it a lot and I don't listen to it a lot, but I recently saw a video of someone saying "it's the worst song she's ever written" which absolutely infuriated me. Did I rank it last? Yes. I rank everything on how I personally connect with the song, not in terms of "I think this is a bad song." Just because I don't connect, does not mean it is a bad song. It is actually an incredibly deep song that I think resonates with a lot of medical professionals as well as people who lost loved ones during COVID. It talks about a loss so unfathomable or event so traumatic that you literally can't speak about it. And for someone to say it's the worst song she's ever written is honestly senseless and offensive and infuriating. (Respectfully)

☆ Fun fact: Whenever I am showing folklore to someone for the first time, I always play the LPSS version. The vocals are so raw and I feel like you can really feel the lyrics differently, and you can really hear what she just- which I find to be extremely important with this album.
