“seems the only one who doesn’t see your beauty, is the face in the mirror lookin back at you”

can actually be so important to the perfect eldest daughters who grew up way too fast moved out and have done so much healing work, for whom love was all she wanted, but can’t escape the fact that as she gets older she look more and more like their mother every single day.

that’s your mothers face and eyes and hair and blood and flesh and skin. that’s the way your mother folds laundry and takes her coffee and laughs and that’s your mothers playlists and your mothers books - you stole them from your childhood home they still have her annotations in the margin.

you can love yourself as much as you want and have your life together and be so smart and kind and well spoken and be the little golden girl who grew up and impressed everyone who sees her, all tied together with a smile, but you have her eyes and will never be enough for the face in the mirror lookin back at you.

My crazy roman empire is Lana and Armie's work and life parallel like in that it's always sunny in philadelphia conspiracy theory meme way

2010: Lana's debut studio album as Lana Del Ray, a.k.a Lizzy Grant // Armie's breakout role in The Social Network. Fun fact: one of the songs is titled "Put Me In A Movie." Armie also tied the knot that year.

2012-2013: Marked Lana's major-label debut with "Born To Die," a divisive album that jumpstarted her career but also faced enduring criticism from media and critics. // Armie experienced his first "flop" with big studio films in "Mirror Mirror" and "The Lone Ranger," but the real ones know they're actually golden lol.

2017: marked a pivotal moment for both Lana and Armie. Lana unveiled her first SMILE on her album titled LUST FOR LIFE (the antithesis of her pessimistic Born To Die), sounds like a stupid insignificant detail yet it resonated deeply with the fans, marking a departure from her "sad girl" persona. It's her summer bop album. Very Timothee's Elio. // Obvi, Armie delivered his standout summer love performance in CMBYN, solidifying his position in Hollywood. It was a momentous occasion for Lana, particularly with the release of her song "Get Free" — you literally just had to be there it changed her history forever lol. Finally, I'm crossing the threshold From the ordinary world To the reveal of my heart I never really noticed that I had to decide To play someone's game or to live my own life But now I do I want to move Out of the black Into the blue

2020-2021: Lana faced major backlash for her infamous Instagram post "Question for the Culture" and later for wearing a mesh-looking mask during COVID. // Armie's divorce and scandal lol. Interestingly, the year before, Lana released the masterpiece "Norman Fucking Rockwell!" featuring the song "The Greatest." And I'm wasted Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call I'm facin' the greatest The greatest loss of them all The culture is lit and I had a ball I guess I'm signin' off after all

2023: Lana Del Rey released a diaristic masterpiece with "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd," transitioning from her self-indulgent, character-driven songwriting to a more personal and introspective exploration of her family and personal life. // After a period of silence, Armie's interview was published in AirMail as a full-length article. One of the songs, "Kintsugi," reflects on the recent deaths of three of her relatives, including her grandmother. Similarly, Armie had recently experienced loss; his father, his grandmother, and Florence.

Daddy, I miss them I'm in the mountains Probably running away, I've been meaning to say That there's nothing to do except know that this is How the light gets in Like cracking, the light gets in Then you're golden Just another folk song, but anyway I try so hard, but that's okay It's how the light gets in Armie opened up about his experience of sexual abuse by his youth pastor, marking the first time he publicly discussed it. Lana addressed a similar theme for the first time in her Grammy-nominated song "A&W". If I told you that I was raped Do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it? I didn't ask for it I won't testify, I already fucked up my story On top of this, so many other things you can't believe

2024: Both are now living their best sober lives, with Lana having been sober for 20 years after her early struggles with alcohol and Armie has been sober for three years. They are now thriving, embracing new habits like vaping (lol), learning more about spirituality, and hanging with their family, and it seems like it's only up, up, up from here.

BOB DYLAN LYRIcS AND CRAZY NOVEL LIKE RELATIONSHIP WITH JOAn bAEZ

okay i'm gonna answer this cos i was listening to joan earlier SO (and no i dont know why this is in greentext format just roll with it i'm so sorry) (this is uhh veeeeery very long too)

>1962/3

>some scruffy loser calling himself bob dylan shows up in new york with a guitar and pretty much cosplays as woody guthrie for a bit

>joan baez, who is the same age, made her debut self-titled album at nineteen years old and is well liked by everyone, her music is generally appreciated by everyone on the scene, she has a beautiful voice and strong vibrato and really good at guitar, involved in activism stuff, played with lost of older respected musicians, the whole folksinger package

>but she doesnt really write her own stuff

>bob dylan write copious volumes of material but his performance is uhhhh less than amazing and technical ability has uhm room for improvement

>his debut self titled album flops hard

>scene is pretty small so they inevitably meet

>joan is like lol look at this loser isnt he cute hehe--his songs are pretty good too huh

>she invites him to play with her, they do a bunch of shows together etc and eventually get romantically involved. joan introduces him to civil rights stuff & anti-war stuff & anti nuclear and all that stuff

>bobs stuff was already political but in a sort of abstract way, his work gets a lot more specifically activist-ey in a very powerful way

>they're still doing a lot of shows together-bob is pretty famous on the folk scene at this point, largely because of joan endorsing him pretty much lol, still romantically involved. music press starts paying attention to bob dylan and he releases quite a few albums with famous songs on them. people kinda shit on him for his voice its a whole thing but i really like his voice so whateverr

>but by 1965 music is starting to get Weird, beatles are happening etc, lots of new styles of music, new youth culture, drugs are also happening

>bob releases bringing it all back home - some of these songs have electric band backing, where previous All Bar One of his songs were solo acoustic guitar, vocals, maybe some harmonica. some people are vaguely put out by this but i think most people find it pretty cool

>20th july 1965 bob releases Like A Rolling Stone, arguably his most famous song. it is very electric and a banger and much Much more rock (it was pop then but yknow) than folk. young people go YAY YIPPEE

>newport folk festival 25th 1965 (five days later) bob plays with an electric band (later to be known as The Band) to Outrage from folk purists who thought he was their god etc. someone shouts 'judas' at the stage implying he was betraying folk music by going electric and that guy must absolutely shit himself every time he remember that he did that because goddamn. pretentious twenty-somethings who hadnt even liked folk music before bob dylan get mad at him, old folk singers are mad at him, popular myth says the famously pacifist pete seeger threatened to cut the power cable with an axe. everyone is Big Mad except like a rolling stone goes hard and people who care a bit less about Proper Folk Music think its a banger

>highway 61 revisted comes out and bob dylan is now a major sensation amongst music enjoyer everywhere, like his stuff is really really cool, new and exciting, also decidely Not Folk but like really very cool. bob also starts smoking weed and taking speed b/c ofc he does & if you look him up he looks like twelfth doctor with the sunglasses and the hair and i'm right on that

>joan is still doing traditional folk music mostly. she is less than amused at bob going electric but iirc mostly polite about it. later that year she released 'farewell, angelina' an album of covers of bob's songs. a lot of them are Very Good, all sung with much more skill than bob could ever hope for sorry bob. which is like. Damn Okay Joan Thats A Move but it was probably finished before newport.... idk..........

>england is suddenly like OMG BOB DYLAN????????? at around 1964/65 but it takes a long time for music to get over there b/c the british music industry had a thing about only selling uk artists so american records were special import it's a whole thing. so people are just getting his famous folk stuff riiiight as he changes his mind about that and starts doing rock music instead, though still with a very poetic bent

>on a related note uk albums were often released differenet in north america to 'appeal to american audiences'?? so the version of the beatles rubber soul that inspired bob dylan and like lou reed and Everyone is kinda of.... wrong...... its weird

>bob n joan's relationship is kinda strained at this point, due to musical differences and yknow relationship stuff, not helped by the fact that bob could be a bit of a prick and was also quickly accumulating A Legend around him. not helped by his insanely cryptic and often nonsensical interview responses.

>at some point in the middle of all this bob marries Sara Lownds in secret. no one knows. he doesnt tell joan. he's not With with joan anymore but she didnt know he was literally marrying someone else. apparently sara wasnt really a music person and didnt know exactly why he was so famous.

>1966 uk tour (this is filmed in d.a. pennebaker's DONT LOOK BACK (no apostrophe. cos dont & look & back all have four letters so it fits on a poster and the apostrophe would muck up teh symmetry also they were all really fuckin pretentious)). bob is playing mostly electric sets with The Band (known then as the Hawkes) which was A Choice To Be Sure

>some people love it but all the folk purists think he's awful and bad and terrible boo him offstage etc which is pretty terrible

>he starts taking a lot of drugs. music gets Weirder. he's kinda not doing too good

>joan shows up partway through the tour and its......awkward....... to say the least. he'd kind-of-not-really-ish broken up with her & then got married to someone else but she just inserted herself in there. idk why. the whole of dont look back he's kinda dismissive of/rude to her ngl

>meanwhile his Mythos has built to uncontrollable levels. he doesnt exactly help this b/c he's very clever with words so people would obvious find meaning in his lyrics, and when he spit nonsense in interviews people would often find a method in the madnes yknow?? like he's smart. he's also really weird. but people have started reading WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much into EVerything he says and does. like everything. like idek what a modern comparison would be. gaylors have nothing on this shit. understandably he gets pissed off at people asking stupid questions

>joan has a girlfriend at this point also. like yeah in a lesbian way. she says she's straight but she did have a girlfriend her name was kimmy

>blonde on blonde comes out in '66. its his most......... 60s album if you know what i mean. like its lots of drugs and lots of instruments and plays on words and its very good, big double album, he's looking super hip on the cover, songs rumoured to be about edie sedgwick, the whole shebang. the lyrics are inspiration for batshit insane theories for decades to come even though a lot of it likely is just in there cos it sounds cool and rhymes.

>includes the song 'sad eyed lady of the lowlands', which is about sara. joan thinks its about her and says so. bit awkward. its a beautiful song and bob never plays it live, it was recored at like three in the morning and the band didnt know how long it was gonna be etc etc lots of myth

>in november 1966 bob dylan has a motorcycle acciedent near his home in woodstock new york state and is in hospital. music enjoyers everywhere Very concerned. he's okay, and after this more or less disapears from public life for a bit. has a bunch of kids. just chilling in the countryside. does a bunch of jamming with The Band, lives of royalities etc. tries to avoid people mostly. this mysterious disapearance combined with blonde on blonde fuels a lot of theorising by fans which he thinks is stupid

>in just five years bob did more musical innovation than most muscians could ever hope to, and he Never WOuld Have been Famou s WIthout Joan.

>joan is getting even more involved in activist work as the vietman war drags on and on. still doing folk music. she has electric instruments in her stuff eventually but still in a definitively Folk Style. she plays at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, she got married too, doing lots of activism stuff, everyone still really likes her music. 1969 bob relases his country album which most people (bob included) think is kinda trash

>1972 joan releases 'to bobby' (she called him bobby a looooong time after everyone just called him bob). which is. Wow. its uhmmm. well. it's a song beseeching bob to come out of retirement and help out with the anti-war cause. lots of musicians though that is he wrote a good new anti-war song it would really help the cause like he used to in the early sixties. bob was pissed at this like relaly annoyed he though she was being far too presumptuous and i really gotta agree with him there like dude's been through enough.

>1975, bob's been back touring for a year -ish. he decide's he gonna put together the ROLLING THUNDER REVUE which is pretty much him & all his friends who are also folk.country.rock whatever you wanna call it musicians and they go arund a whole bunch of little venues and generally have a good time. lineup includes joni mitchell robbie robertson roger mcguinn emmylou harris, a very cool violin player called scarlett (i think) allen ginsberg the poet who had a gay crush on dylan in the sixties, the blonde guitarist from ziggy stardust AND JOAN BAEZ :D there are like ten people on the stage at once and loads of guitars and various string instruments etc and they redo all these dylan songs in new and exciting ways.

>they film some of it to make this move called Renaldo and Clara. i havent seen it (yet) but its like a semi-fiction semi-documentary film about the tour and also some sort of plotline they string together from somewhere idk. joan is in this film too. from what ive seen there are some uhh. some fairly OUGH scenes, on top of bob n joan singing together on stage all the time. there s clip of bob saying that he n joan could sing together in their sleep. she is still a wayyyy better singer than him but his voice is really good these years and they way they do the songs together is veeeeryyyyy cool. theres a scene in the film where bob says (and i quote) 'it really displeases me that you went off and got married' (OUT OF NOWHERE MIGHT I ADD) and joan says 'you went off and got married first and didnt tell me' and he doesnt really have an answer to that. like GODDAMNIT BOY

>there another scene where there was a bit of a script but joan went off and said something like 'do you know why we never couldve got married?' and bob was apparently bad at improv so he wasnt saying anything and so joan just kept talking going through all the reasons why they never got married and all the issues between them. On Camera. like damn.

>also in 1975 joan's album Diamonds & Rust comes out. the title track is one joan wrote herself and it is Very Clearly about bob and its uhhh a little bit scathing. also very very good. generally regarded as one of her best songs. awkward as you can imagine. 'my poetry was lousy you said' 'we both know what memories can bring / they bring diamonds and rust' 'you burst on the scene already a legend'

Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid

LIKE GODDAMN JOAN OKAY

>bob gets divorced from sara in 1976? 77? idk that happens too. i think joan gets a divorce too but not sure.

>theres a bit gap in my knowledge here idk what happens to them specifically after that. like i know a bunch about bob but nothing relevant rn. hes christian for a bit. makes some albums that suck and some that are good. joan still does folk music & mostly covers.

>in 2003 bob releases a memoir called Chronicles Vol. I (supposedly of three but theres only one lol). he talks about joan a bit, how could he not, describes how he was so envious of her when he was 21 and saysing 'she looked like a religious icon, like somebody you'd sacrifice yourself for'. super normal thing to say about your ex ahaha.

>2022 the rolling thunder revue film comes out (its a netflix film but also. internet archive) and they're both interviewed for it. some iconic moments. i think most interviewers sort of stopped asking joan about bob out of politness after a while but obviously she talks about him there thats what the films about. yeagh.

>joan baez like hangs out with lana del ray n stuff now & has books out or her little drawings. she also paints. and bob still tours at 82 (almost 83) years old. and still relreases new stuff. yeagh

ANYWAYS the concise history of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. sources: dude trust me ahahah no but the source is the 2022 rolling thunder film, dylan's chronicles and around a year of being obsessed with bob dylan. he was my real life old guy blorbo fr.

taylor pt 2

jj x routledge!oc

this is longer than most of my works lol

summary: explaining my love for different taylor swift songs, eras, and taylor overall to my long time crush, jj, a few months after topper cheated on me with sarah

warnings: jj being sweet and a swiftie, oc was cheated on, kiara is questioning her sexuality in this one, pope hasn't started dating cleo, john b and sarah are "complicated"

it had been a busy week. jj had worked on extra cars to make some extra cash, john b had been working on boats, and i had been doing a lot of school work, trying to stay on top of my ap courses. i hadn't seen jj in days, he had been coming home late, and i had been going to sleep early.

"you're doing homework on a friday?" jj chastised me, walking into the kitchen where i had my stuff sprawled out.

"i'm studying for my math test." i huffed. math was my worst subject. i never truly understood most of what was going on in class, leaving it to me when i needed to learn my stuff.

"you should be doing something fun on a friday. you work so hard, you deserve a break."

"i can't take a break. i have to study." i stressed. i put my pen in my mouth, chewing on the tip of the pen while going back to the numbers.

jj took the pen out of my hand and mouth and pushed my notes away from me. "you can study later. lets go for a walk."

"jj, i have to study. i have a test on monday and i don't understand any of the stuff that's going to be on the test." i pushed the hair out of my face and tried to grab my notes.

"eyes." i flickered my wild eyes up to his blue ones. "you need a break."

"but --"

"you need a break." i let out a breath before covering my face with my hands. "let's go for a walk."

"we could stay in and -"

"did you leave the house today after school?" i pursed my lips at the question. "let's go for a walk."

i stood up and grabbed my sweatshirt, that was actually one of jj's old ones, and slipped it on before sliding my shoes on.

"okay, lets go."

jj smiled with triumph, knowing he had one. idiot.

"i have a question about taylor swift." jj asked as we made our way across the grass.

"why all the interest in taylor swift all of the sudden?" i countered.

"can't i be interested in stuff that you are interested in?" jj raised his eyebrow questioning at me.

i narrowed my eyes in retaliation. "you can, but you usually don't like any of the same music i like."

"usually, but you make me listen to it so i might as well learn the music." jj pointed out.

"that's valid." i agreed.

"so you said that you have different songs from different albums for our friends."

"i did say that." i agreed.

"i want to know what songs. we've been listening to taylor swift a lot and i want to know what songs make you think of our friends."

"okay," i shrugged at him.

"so her first album... does it have a name?" he asked, scrunching his nose in confusion.

i nodded. "yeah, well, it's her self title album. most fans call it debut."

"and that's her country one?"

"yep, aesthetically speaking, it's the most country of all her albums. it's also her first albums so it's seen as youngest, it's not as mature as say like evermore or the tortured poets department."

"what is the aesthetic of it?"

"well, country, cowgirl, her country twang, her guitar, it's her country girl era."

jj nodded in agreement. "i can see that. in that said no song, it's very country."

"should've said no, right." i agreed with him. "so i guess the song that comes to mind when i think of kie, is a place in this world. it's all about finding yourself and i feel like that's very kie."

"i don't know that one." jj admitted, turning us so we were walking on the sidewalk.

"i don't listen to it that much. i don't really listen to debut. not because i don't like it, but just because i like other songs more."

"what about pope?"

"pope is hard, it's not really his album."

"pope listens to taylor swift?" jj smiled, finding it funny.

"yeah, johnny does too." i told him. "sarah is a swiftie too and he still listens to her music even though he and sarah are ... complicated."

"complicated is a very nice word for that."

"yep. very nice. so i think pope is probably invisible."

"that's the one she did for a surprise song and you and sarah were shocked right?"

"yeah, i mean, i can't believe half of the songs she sings as surprise songs are surprise songs. he could also be the outside. i think johnny is probably our song, or that's the song i associate with him anyways because we sing that one a lot when we are drunk."

"john b sings taylor swift when he's drunk?" jj asked, smirking like the bastard he was. "that's the best thing i've heard." i smiled when i saw the spark in his eye.

"sarah is probably tim mcgraw." i said, thinking about it. "and i'm probably cold as you."

"what am i?"

"you - you're tied together with a smile."

"that's your favorite song from debut."

"it is. and it makes me think of you."

"that's... very sweet." jj said after a moment. "i don't really know what to say." he laughed awkwardly.

"well, i don't either, so." i smiled softly, stepping up to the side of the ocean and taking a deep breath.

"well - uh - what's next?"

"fearless." the wind hit my face and i soaked in the ocean breeze.

"that was the first one she re recorded." i nodded in agreement.

"in order, i would say kie is fearless, pope is don't you, johnny is forever and always."

"i like that one. forever and always."

"i like the piano version more than the regular, but i know johnny likes the regular."

"i like both, depends on my mood."

"i would say that i am probably mr. perfectly fine."

"sarah is we were happy, that's a vault song. i've played it on the piano on a few times. and i am you belong with me." i stared at the side of his face as he looked across the ocean, taking in the waves crashing against each other and the water.

"okay." i shoved my hands into the pockets of the sweatshirt and stared with him. "next is speak now."

"that's the one sarah likes."

"it is. one of my favorite songs is from speak now -"

"haunted." jj cut me off and finished.

"how do you know that?"

"i basically live with you. i think i know your favorite songs." jj tugged my wrist out of my pocket and we made our way down the beach.

"i liked that one before everything with topper. i never let him take taylor swift from me."

"that's good, you should never let a man ruin anything for you. especially that dumbass kook." i gave a faint smile as we walked.

"well, anyways, i think that kie is probably when emma falls in love," i'll admit, i had always been jealous of kie and jj's friendship. many times she had tried to assure me there was nothing between them, but there was no denying jj liked her, even if he didn't admit it. i'm not sure how strong those feelings were now, but he definitely had a thing for her.

"she's emma and you're taylor, aren't you?" i gave a small nod, not wanting to talk about their relationship.

"well, it's a good thing that she likes sarah's friend melissa." i gave jj a sharp look. she liked melissa?

"since when?" i stammered.

"since they hooked up at the last kegger." jj smiled at me, making my tummy flip. "she hasn't told many people."

"i didn't know, i had no idea."

"i know." jj told me. "i felt like i should let you know."

"i won't say anything to her about me knowing." i promised jj. "i love kie and would never out her. when she's ready to tell me, she'll tell me."

"yeah, she's still trying to figure stuff out."

"well, good for her." i commented, feeling a little more at ease.

"i think we're still on speak now." jj said after a second. i could tell he wanted to say something else, but i let it go. i knew jj well enough to know he would tell me when he was ready to tell me. if i pushed him, he would shut down. i guess that was the biggest different between us, he needed time to process his thoughts. he was easily the biggest internal processor i had ever met. i, on the other hand, processed my information out loud most of the time. i was what was called an external processor. another difference between us is that jj was an extrovert and i was an introvert.

"oh yeah, well pope is probably ..." i had to think. "pope is probably mine. i think that sums up him if he ever gets into a relationship. johnny is long live, one hundred percent. i would say sarah is maybe the story of us? hmmm... ooo! she's actually innocent!" i nodded to myself. i didn't see the way that jj was giving me a soft smile. "and me, i'm probably sparks fly. and you,"i said looking up at jj. "you are -"

"enchanted." jj cut me off again.

"i was going to say mean but i guess you can take your pick."

"i'm not the song mean." jj said, shaking his head. "i'm a way more complex song than mean."

"mean is a complex song - okay, you know what, i'm not arguing with you about this."

"fine!" jj shot back, trying to hide his smile.

"fine!" this time, neither of us could cover our laughs.

"red is next - one of my favorite song is from red - state of grace."

"you play that one a lot."

"i do, i like both the regular version and the acoustic. depends on my mood."

"is that the song you think you are?" jj questioned.

"i mean, probably. i think it sums me up. i think kie is starlight. it's a really cute song and i think she'd like it and it fits her. the song that makes me think of pope is message in a bottle or begin again. johnny is i knew you were trouble. and you are the lucky one."

"can i tell you what song makes me think of you from red?" i was taken aback by his question.

"yeah," i was really curious to see what he said.

"it's nothing new."

"you know that song?"

"yeah. it makes me think of you."

"okay. that's sweet i think?"

"it is."

we rounded back on the house and i sighed knowing i needed to get some sleep. "well, let's round this night off with 1989."

"i can do this one." jj said. "you listened to this album the other day when we had to go to the main land. kie is new romantics. that song is poppy just like her. pope is welcome to new york. that dude's gonna go there some day and listen to that song, mark my words. bird is style. he says he and sarah are done but we all know that they're not." i nodded, agreeing with jj. they would never be done with each other. "i would say sarah is style too, but if i had to give her a different song it would be blank space."

"i agree with you so far. i think johnny could also be i wish you would."

"dude that song is so underrated!" jj said. "it's so catchy!"

"it definitely is! 1989 is pop perfection." i smiled, becoming getting. since sarah and johnny decided to take a break, i hadn't had anybody to discuss taylor swift with and it was fun to talk to jj about it.

"okay, moving on. i think i'm probably wildest dreams and you are i know places."

"the song from 1989 that i'm listening to is clean, but i know places is good too. i was also thinking suburban legends is a good choice for me, and say don't go might also be johnny."

we smiled at each other, once we caught each other's eyes.

"you have nothing to worry about." jj told me, stepping in front of me, making me stop from walking into the house.

"i don't know what you're talking about." i tried to deny.

"nah, you do." jj ran a hand through his hair. "you don't gotta worry about me liking anybody else." my eyes searched his, trying to read him. "i'm waiting until you're ready." i stared at him as he walked into the house. "are you coming in or going to be eaten alive by bugs all night?"

fin. def a long one.

one more part for sure (pt 3), probably even a pt 4. i have a lot of thoughts about taylor and obx that i'm trying to work through.

[tesseract-s]

NEED to know all ur thoughts on prelude to ecstasy!!

ok here are All My Thoughts, i reacted to every song lol

prelude to ecstasy Official Reaction TM

prelude:

ok i knew there was an orchestral intro but this is even more extra than i could have ever expected and a genuinely beautiful full orchestral piece!!!!

burn alive -

ok again the instrumental intro is beautiful when it’s not on a grainy youtube video. this is one of my favorites lyrically too, love the anger in this one on top of the writing. spent like half an hour on this one’s genius lyrics the other day. it’s just sooooo powerful and full and what music should be

caesar -

this is my favorite of the singles to sing and is just soooo fun 10/10 no notes (i wanted to skip it to listen to the new songs but when it got into the chorus i physically couldn’t) as someone who feels like they need to be loved and seen this song is for meeeee

the feminine urge -

ooh new voice! i wasn’t sure if they’d have abi do everyone else’s vocal parts. PROMETHEUS MENTIONED! and the title being a tumblr meme >>>>

genuinely abigail morris you deserve to go down in history. also this is my kind of talking about womanhood i definitely vibe with the eternal urge to give in to generational trauma 😜 

on your side:

genuinely what can i say. if i found this song in august i would genuinely break into pieces. love georgia’s bass in this. the outtro is sooo interesting now that it transitions into BB and not sinner? very gentle and interesting as an album piece

beautiful boy:

FLUTE my beloved (played it for 4 years) also Relatable. eating the harmonies at the super quiet section before the build

gjuha:

love the meaning of this one it’s relatable lol. and auroras voice is sooooooo incredible!!!!! love the guitar in this too it’s so pretty and the shimmery acoustic really  shines… YES the drop to sinner??? obsessed

sinner & MLOM

my favorite singles. i’ve never been religious why do religious trauma songs go soooo hard to me personally

portrait

beautiful driving piano line. abi sounds just like florence in this one. they’re sooo good at songs which change from section to section and this one is doing it!! i think i need to really dig into the lyrics for this one. tldp only people allowed to romanticize toxic relationships from now on!!

nothing matters 

it wasn’t my favorite single but it is the worlds best choice of debut single and is rightfully a banger. unpopular opinion the verses are better than the chorus they’re genuinely perfect

mirror

IM NO GOOD UNTIL I CRY??!!?? REAL.. i think i like the more musically surprising ones but this is absolutely gorgeous and a great final track and this song about self sacrificing and feeling that you only exist for other people is um. really getting to me

ending this giant performance album with “i fade away” without your gaze is fascinating

OH MY GOD the outtro someone come get me…aurora nischevi the woman that you are someone get her composing a symphony

for the ask game: 3, 28, 30 (idk if it’s cheating to ask multiple if it is just do whatever will be most fun)

hi!! theres no such thing as cheating in an ask game so you can ask however many you like! recently sent in an ask to an ask game with like 10 bc it was like "tell ppl what u think of their fic" and i had a lot to say 💀

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

oughhh ok ok ok. i have four 😭 my top two are mamma mia!: the movie & now you see me & then pitch perfect & legally blonde trade off for the third top three spot (<- guy who loved comedies & chick flicks)

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

talking to my bestie, the sun on my face, seeing a ladybug, a nice chai tea, complimenting a strangers shirt or smth & them telling me where they got it-- i love the little things :)

28. do you collect anything?

i do!! i used to collect glass soda bottles & i like kind of still do in theory but much slower now than i used to & i collect loona (kpop group) albums! (you have unlocked an unskippable cutscene but ill put the infodump below the cut lol)

ok so first heres the loona collection bc im proud of it >:)

so i only have a few of their bbc era things (thats first six things you see) because the fandom is boycotting so i have to get them secondhand :( but! even tho ive misplaced strawberry rush, i have everything not being boycotted except loosemble's self-titled first album!

basically during bbc era loona were a 12-membered kpop girlgroup who debuted one at a time & then in smalled subunits (like a group within a group), so i have love&live, the loona 1/3 debut (loona 1/3 is heejin, hyunjin, haseul, and vivi), choerry's solo debut (i have the choerry & jinsoul version but it is choerrys solo lol), chuu's solo, and gowon's solo (also the version with chuu but still her solo)!

from loona's ot12 era i have # (their third release), not friends (technically a subunit called loona x consisting of heejin, kim lip, jinsoul, and yves, but its after they all debuted together), and flip that, their last release as twelve before they all sued their management & the boycott started.

from the post-bbc era, i have everything but loosemble's debut. so there's howl, chuu's first solo comeback; version up, odd eye circle's first comeback (odd eye circle were a pre-debut subunit consisting of kim lip, jinsoul, and choerry); K, heejin's first solo comeback, one of a kind, loosemble's first comeback (loosemble are a new unit that formed under different management consisting of loona members hyunjin, yeojin, vivi, gowon, and hyeju-- they'd previously debuted with loosemble, their self-titled album, but i dont have it sadly); DALL (devine all love & live), ARTMS's debut (artms are another new unit under new management consisting of heejin, haseul, kim lip, jinsoul, and choerry); loop, yves's first solo comeback; strawberry rush (not pictured), chuu's second solo comeback; and TTYL, loosemble's second comeback.

i LOVE to talk about this so if ur interested PLEASE hmu i have a whole kpop sideblog over at @astertheworld & most of it is loona lol

the smiths post?? 😜

heyy! so basically my friend asked me if she should listen to the smiths so i was like HECK YEAHH! this resulted in a page and a half of talking about the smiths based om what i could remeber off the top of my head lol 🤗 enjoyy (and correct me if i get some info wrong!!)

hey pookie wookie, ask and you shall recieve... by the end of this you'll be listening to the smiths. first, is ‘hatful of hollow’ a compilation album you should listen to first. released in 1984, it has 16 tracks. among these my favorites are ‘william, it was really nothing’, ‘hand in glove’, ‘still ill’, ‘accept yourself’, ‘this night has opened my eyes’, ‘reel around the fountain’, and ‘back to the old house’. now you might find two ‘this charming man’ versions on their discography 🤯🤯 (omgosh howww??) hatful of hollow has it’s own version, which is a demo (the john peele demo specifically). the other version is the official studio one from their self titled debut album ‘the smiths’, also released 1984. which one do i prefer?? i’m SO glad you asked, because although the remastered studio version of ‘this charming man’ sounds more official or whatever, the demo version is so delicious and more pleasant to the ears, it’s more careless and lively, i kinda feel like they refined the official ver. too much but 🤷 (imooo, listen to both and then tell me what you think 😉). after you listen to both of these albums, you might want to listen to the album ‘meat is murder’ (released ‘85) which has some tingly mind melting gems like ’that joke isn’t funny anymore’, ‘rusholme ruffians’, ‘nowhere fast’, and ‘barbarism begins at home’. strange name for an album right? well, our lead singer morissey is vegan, but at that time he was vegetarian! anyways, he’s a big joke in terms of pushing his vegan/vegetarian beliefs on everyone and being a a-hole sometimes, as well as occasionally racist 😐 but it’s okay! because there are the other members of the group (which are TOTALLY TUBULAR!) these include andy rourke (bass), johnny marr (guitar), and mike joyce (drums) as the lineup for the group. this might be a GREAT time to add that johnny marr IS SO fine and my pinterest feed has been taken over my him and many other FINE dead and old people 😊. while listening to these, i also find that listening to their basslines is AWESOME because andy is so FREAKING talented and awesome!! after that, you should take a trip over to their album, ‘the queen is dead’, released 1986, which has some beautiful music! some of my favorite tracks are ‘frankly mr. shankly’, ‘cementery gates’, ‘vicar in a tutu’, ‘i know it’s over’, and ‘never had no one ever’. anyways, THERE’S ANOTHER COMPILATION??? yes, the smiths were big fans of compiling their demos and whatnot into compilation albums. they actually had more compilation albums than actual studio albums. the more you know ✨ the next compilation is ‘louder than bombs’, released 1987. unrelated but the cover is so cool on this one idk it conveys emotion and all that deep stuff. anyways, some of my standouts from this album are ‘shiela take a bow’, ‘london’, ‘girl afraid’, ‘asleep’, ‘half a person’, ‘is it really so strange?’, and ‘shoplifters of the world unite’. they also really liked goofy ahh song titles, but i’m not complaining they delivered with their banger music. in 1987, when tensions in the group were rising, (subtle foreshadowing) they released ‘strangeways, here we come’. break for your eyes! take a breather pal. okay! i love love love love love love love love this album so muchhhh ughhhhhhhh it’s a freaking masterpiece it’s so *chef’s kiss* my favorite track is probably ‘i won’t share you’ it’s so beautiful and WOW. it shows that i know the way i feel but you won’t accept it you know?? i won’t share you. and it’s heartbrokenly beautiful... like i love this song so much i want it in my veins because this song is so majestic. literally no words can explain what i feel when i listen to this. it’s like i have hope but feel completely broken at the same time? it feels like days of loving and caring gone in a moment. ANYWAYSS the smiths broke up later that year! they still released demos and unreleased things later so that’s cool 🙂 if get REALLY into them, you can listen to morissey’s solo career, it’s similar but doesn't carry the same vibe yk?? okay hope this motivated you to listen to themm ☺️🩷

[rivetgoth]

I got tagged by @captainspaulding to list my 10 favorite songs of the month so far :D I feel kinda stupid because I don’t completely get what that means/how to rank or categorize them so I’m just gonna list 10 songs that’ve stuck out a bunch to me this September so far in no order!

Idk who to tag uhh… @lysistra @maldoror-est-mort @ourladyofomega @omegaverse @theonlycure @john--adreams @testure-1988 @blackchantilly No pressure of course, just if you want to :) And TY Mason for the tag!!

1.) Portishead— Sour Times

This month started out really cool and cloudy and it felt soooo exciting having September begin and early fall weather and pumpkin spice and Halloween things going up in stores. I love listening to trip hop in that kind of weather and I’ve listened to a lot of Portishead’s “Dummy” in particular the last week or so.

2.) Sneaker Pimps— 6 Underground

Ditto but even more so because I heard this at a birthday party last night. Birthday girl was playing a trip hop playlist and I was sooooo excited lol. Hearing this one encouraged me to revisit Sneaker Pimps’ debut for the first time in a hot second.

3.) Oingo Boingo— On the Outside

Polar opposite to trip hop, I’ve also been listening to Oingy Boingy with October and Halloween coming up. It’s the right vibe for this time of year ykwim. Not much else to say… it’s fun it’s spooky etc.

4.) Shock Doctrine— Blood Copy

I saw Shock Doctrine live last weekend and they were cool so I checked out their studio albums and they blew me awayyyyy. They’re extremely talented and fun and I’ve been listening to both of their EPs a ton.

5.) Shock Doctrine— Compound Eye

Ditto. Another really good track of theirs off of their other EP.

6.) Murder, Inc.— Uninvited Guest

I LOVE Murder, Inc.’s self-titled album and think it’s grossly underrated and totally horrible how obscure it is nowadays. Shock Doctrine kinda reminds me of ‘em so I’ve been revisiting them lately. Love love love this one but I could list anything off the album tbqh.

7.) Tricky— Christiansands

Fuck it, more trip hop. I’ve been listening to a lot ov it. This is one of my very favorites of the genre, it’s so cool and so atmospheric and so psychedelic. Never gets old.

8.) PIG— Cult of Chaos

September 5th was the anniversary of seeing PIG live for the first time! 2023 is also the 5 year anniversary of Pig’s album “Risen” which came out that same year, and which blew my fucking miiiiiiind when it first came out. I listened to it nearly daily for basically the rest of the year. So it’s been on my mind. I’ve been listening through the whole album but this one is one of my very favorites lol.

9.) Vision Video— Cruelty Commodity

Again, colder drearier weather (and more stress recently, tbqh, what with new jobs and all 😭🙏) has me listening to different music, right now alongside the trip hop there’s also been more classic gothy music on rotation and I finally caught up with Vision Video’s new releases. I LOVE this song. Such classic goth rock, reminds me a lot of Southern Death Cult. Really really really fantastic song.

10.) The Bellwether Syndicate— Dystopian Mirror

Along the same vein I also revisited The Bellwether Syndicate whose work I super enjoy, and I’m still blown away by this song after it dropped last year. It’s SO good. Gets me so pumped up. Omg. I think these guys are crazy underappreciated to be honest.

[theemporium]

Off the top of my head ~

Debut/Fearless girlies are Daniel girls (also CALM)

Speak Now/Red girlies are Charles girls (also Fine Line)

1989/Lover girlies are Lando girls (also Harry self-titled)

Reputation girlies are Seb girls (also Youngblood)

Folklore/Evermore girlies are Max girls (also SGFG)

Midnights girlies are Carlos girls (also Harry’s House and 5SOS5)

Feel free to tell me I’m wrong on any of these (and yes I recognize that all of the Carlos albums came out last year, that wasn’t on purpose lol)

I MOSTLY AGREE!! but I would say lando gives more sfgf vibes and hs1 is more max coded👀

[thegreatestfilmnevermade]

🔮 & 👑 !!! I know you Basically did that whole post about your ideas for it, but was just curious anyway LMFAO (really loved that btw!!! They should totally get you lol)

( 🔮 - give us your predictions for album 6 & 👑 - give us your predictions for the next era (the fashion, the aesthetic etc )

thanks heaps! youre like my first ask so this is sick as hell for me. working for them would be an absolute dream, i'm sure heaps would agree there.

🔮 i reckon it will be closer to either notes or their self-titled. they'll either go full electro-ambient-club record. or they'll do this fresh nostalgic rock sound of debut. i doubt they'll continue the 80s-sound they leaned into for being funny. i think it'll be under 15 tracks, and not much promo. and probably announced late in the year and released before the new year. lyrically, i reckon a couple jabs at the media and taylor, considering how big that was. would be hilarious if neither made any kind of reference to be honest. probably very existential about age cos they're in their mid thirties, they're like... adults. i'd assume plenty of adult chatter, state of the world, and all. not sure where they'll go!

👑 in terms of aesthetics... that's a tough one. they've done "grunge", they neon, minimalist, "emo", b/w suits, all that. i think they could go quite academic. COULD be a way to slightly do the whole mock/self-aware/satire thing in regards to tortured poets, leaning into being a muse, or being educated. lots of dark academia, type writers (oh, the drama of it all!). alternatively, they could go quite earthy. they havent done that. like 'Solar Power' by Lorde, 'Sling' by Clairo. kinda go hippieish, i suppose. that'd be sick. imagine them wearing mostly lounge wear, baggy jumpers, or loosely down button ups - very greece, or coastal. i could see them taking that direction.

[hoes4hoseok]

txt as taylor swift

disclaimer: i am referring to taylor swift's self-titled debut album! to see the other albums' versions, head over to my masterlist. also...oh my goodness! for once, the album order lined up with their age order! love it 🤧🫶🏽 && thanks to @lethekoo! i missed having you help me with these.

yeonjun as tim mcgraw

"i was right there beside him all summer long, & then the time we woke up to find that summer gone"

yeonjun would give you one hell of a summer if you had a fling (in a good way LOL)

i gave him the way i loved you in my fearless post but i think this is kind of a different healthier version of that

i can just picture him having such a pure relationship of fun & happiness with you for that summer

but it obviously had to end because that's not what real life is 🤧 but he'd always remember you when he heard your favorite artist on the radio 🤧 & all the good times you had together 🤧

oh man 🤧 i need to write a fic about this

soobin as a place in this world

"even though i'm not the only one who feels the way i do, i'm alone on my own, & that's all i know"

i see soobin as very gentle-hearted

obviously, he doesn't fit this song in every way (he probably knows his place in this world by now lmfao) but

"got the radio on, my old blue jeans, & i'm wearing my heart on my sleeve" that's so clearly soobin ✋

also he's not alone

but debut soobin give me debut taylor energy what can i say?

beomgyu as the outside

"so, how can i ever try to be better? nobody ever lets me in"

beomgyu is not on the outside (he's on the outside of the hyung line though LMFAO ✋🙄)

i just think he matches this song's enthusiasm really well! it's very silly & was kind of a reach 😞 let me know if you have a better idea!

taehyun as should’ve said no

"i can't resist, before you go tell me this...was it worth it? was she worth this?"

taehyun gives me a similar energy to the one this song emits: passion! in this case, in the form of anger 👊🙄

when i picture it, i don't think he'd cheat on you, i think you'd cheat on him (no offense)

so naturally if you cheated he'd be pissed as hell but what really gets me about this song is the bridge (i love it)

above all, it conveys that he wishes that you didn't. it's an earlier stage in moving on than picture to burn, for example, because he's still grieving the relationship

man this song is so good & it makes me miss my senior year of high school :) (i didn't get cheated on, i didn't even have a boyfriend, i just played this song on loop anyways)

hueningkai as mary’s song (oh my my my)

"take me home where we met so many years before, we'll rock our babies on that very front porch, after all this time, you & i"

the amount of sheer childhood friends to lovers energy this man holds is incredible (it might be me typecasting him at this point but i'm completely oblivious to it so let me know lmfao)

hueningkai would totally catch feelings for you while the two of you were growing up & it would just unfold so naturally because, obviously, you caught feelings too 🫶🏽

&& at a certain point, you would be certain that you'd spend your life with him. after hitting every roadblock in the past, after loving each other for so long, it would be easy. 🤧😭

also side note this one's for my 04's 🤌 "I'll be 87, you'll be 89" mhm mhm 😊 (or the 00's? that could technically also work)

135, 119, 100 :D

100: whats your most listened to playlist?

my general listening diary which i've been curating since i was 16 lol

135: what’s a music pet peeve of yours?

hm. intentional record crackling on a track. awful stuff, especially if it actually runs throughout and you can hear it. really can't stand it. there's defs other ones but that one just seems to be the one on my mind rn

119: What music did you grow up on?

putting this last bc i wnna put a post cut here cuz im just gonna go on awhile SORRY this one means a bit.

i'm putting * next to my all time albums here

for the first 13 years of my life, i would say it's 70/80s chart hits through my parents, and modern pop radio on my own. mostly the latter. the first song i ever became aware of was nelly furtado's maneater when i was 5. most of what i really did grow up around was pop radio like your generic local station shit. then my parents got cable when i was 7 which introduced me to more... curated things? i'm gonna speak in australian pay tv networks and artists here i'm sorry i hate speaking like this. but [v] (may it rest in peace for its shuttering is easily one of the worst losses i've ever experienced) was like my slow awakening to my more "alternative" tastes than the general packaged pop i'd been so used to at that point, in the way it was mostly just 2008-12 peak era (imo) triple j buzz bands and that kind of thing. artists i really remember getting into that time because of that were the presets – who'd just released apocalypso* at this point – and ladyhawke* – who had just released her self titled debut (another all timer.) very related is that modular (the label that issued these albums, and of tame impala fame) genuinely had some fucking top tier albums out in 2008, like van she's v and another all timer and pitchfork best new album in ghost colours* by cut copy. insane year for them, but back to me. i was really getting into listening to the weekly top 40 on radio around this time too. my local station was mostly syndicated programming from 2day from a certain hour. like their usual weekdaily thing was their morning show which i have never heard for some reason, then it was just local in house selected garbage that i have permanently seered into my mind now until 3 when they started the pre-record syndicated stuff like hamish and andy or kyle and jackie o. which after 5pm is when The Fucking Goods happened and you got the ill-fated hot 30 which was pretty much became a ritual thing for me when i was 9 until it was canceled when i was 11. on weekends i would listen to my beloved take 40 which i continued doing up until i was 12 and gained a proper internet connection. when i think back on this time period it it's kinda crazy how much music i was listening to and the fact it was just something i did and didn't know anybody else who was like crazy deep in music like this. but it did give me my extensive knowledge of 2000s/early 2010s popular music which i've been curating in a playlist since i was 15 that was just a comfort list turned mutant.

but the turning point in my taste came when i was 12 and got an non-poor person internet connection aka wifi, an ipad and a dream. at this point i was slowly moving away from charts and into full albums – something i never really did. one of the first albums i owned was rogue trader's here comes the drums* and that until katy perry's teenage dream were like the only albums i'd heard back to back. first album i brought in 2013 was ellie goulding's halcyon* and i pretty much burnt it to my pc and listened to it and it only for like 6 months of the year, before buying calvin harris' 18 months* on itunes when they did that u have 3 singles from this album u can buy the rest for $6 thing. by this time i was starting to get on socials and drift into fandom. one of the first ones was dan & phil who are big fans of muse and spoke about how origin of symmetry* is their fave album by them and i was like, damn i gotta check this out. from that point onwards for another like 6 months was the only album and first discogs ever sought out and listened to. through being in that fandom i started getting into music circles which happened right at the biggest turning point of my life. by mid 2014 i'd started to venture into the 2014 tumblr-core stuff; sky ferreira, vampire weekend, the strokes, grimes and twigs, and my first super hyperfixated musical act, foster the people. i was on indie twitter by this point and consumed by it and had completely stopped and refused to listen to top 40 radio which i still don't do. by 2015 i'd basically crafted my alternative taste and begun collecting vinyl. here's my top artists from my old last.fm to illustrate where i am as a 14 year old:

it pretty much stayed like this for somewhat unchanged until 2017 when i got a spotify subscription and started listening to radiohead a fair bit lol. by early 2018 i was starting to listen to fantano-core stuff and by extension got into post-punk, iceage-ajacent bands which led me to posh isolation and started my interest in noise/ambient stuff. late 2019 i started listening to the brixton windmill-ajacent bands like black midi and bc,nr and started using rateyourmusic and just discovering things over time.

im sorry that this is so long and i dont expect anybody to read this lmao 😭

BTS BOTW AU OMG WHAT??? pls share with the class immediately

LMFAODJFNKD it's honestly not even that interesting

back in 2019, i was writing for taegi week and the last day was a free day, and at the time i was still in my baby revalinker phase so i decided i wanted to write the most self-indulgent bts x botw au in which bts members took the places of botw characters. i actually had a tumblr post drafted to talk about this, but i guess we'll talk about it here now! in the case you are familiar with bts while also being a botw player, this could be of some interest to you.

i never actually got very far in writing it out (because i was 15 and school was beating my ass), but after reviewing the two unfinished drafts and the conceptual outlining style i do on every post, i remembered that i planned to rewrite the mount lanayru-calamity awakening memory with bts members as well as putting the revalink dynamic in there

please don't laugh i was 15 when i wrote this LMFAODJFKFJKD i don't plan on showing you what the unfinished drafts look like because like i said, i never got very far in writing them so there's nothing of interest to really note in either of those

as you can from the pic, i wrote V/taehyung as revali and SUGA/yoongi as link. looking back on it now, i probably would not have chosen yoongi as link and i should have written taehyung as link and yoongi as revali because that makes more sense regarding their personalities, but i guess 15-year-old me was really set on that dynamic. other characters included:

RM/kim namjoon as princess zelda

park jimin as mipha

jeon jungkook as baby sidon LOL

j-hope/jung hoseok as daruk

jin/kim seokjin as urbosa

and *drumroll*

bang pd as king rhoam bosphoramus hyrule ✋😩

i'm going to assume most of my mutuals and followers are probably not familiar with bts, so i'll try to give you a quick rundown!

V (or kim taehyung) is one of the group's vocalists and is one of my biases, or favorite member :> he's been my bias since 2018 when i became a bts fan! (the other one is jungkook he's the one in my pfp KJDHFHJKD) he has this show recently called 'jinny's kitchen' but i haven't watched it yet because i've been busy with school 😭 but from the clips i've seen that shit is funnyyy. SUGA (or min yoongi) is one of the rappers and he's coming out with a new album called 'D-DAY' soon + just released a song called 'people pt 2' ft. iu! the first part of 'people' on his last album was a fawking banger.

revalink had to be taehyung and yoongi because this au was originally intended to be uploaded for taehyung and yoongi (taegi)'s ship week. i definitely didn't place them as revali and link correctly, but i think know why i made it that way? there used to be this huge stereotype against yoongi that he was really mean and cold-hearted, and i was and always have been against that stereotype because bro really isn't like that. he's a soft sweet and sensitive tangerine boy fr! and making yoongi as revali wouldn't help that cause so i did what had to be done. i do think that taehyung still a relatively good fit for revali though; they be dramatic gays fr

RM (or kim namjoon) is the leader of bts, one of the rappers, and is a really smart guy. bro has an IQ of 148 and was also once one of the top 1% of students in south korea. so naturally, i made him zelda, the figurehead of the champions and the representation of the triforce of wisdom. but i was thinking about this connection more the other day when i first was writing out the post to talk about this, and i think namjoon and botw zelda actually have quite a few parallels. if anyone is interested in hearing more, please send an ask or a dm or something because i don't wanna make this post longer 😭

jimin is one of the group's vocalists and is also an incredible dancer. he had a solo debut recently with the album 'face' and title track 'like crazy' which you guys should all check out! :) but the reason why i put jimin as mipha is because he studied contemporary dance in high school and his personal style of dance tends to be very fluid and graceful, and like. do y'all see the connection lmao. mipha, being a zora in a watery domain? thus also being very fluid and graceful in her movements? TEEHEE

jungkook is the youngest member of the group another one of the vocalists and dancers, is my boyfriend and is Thee Golden Boy of K-pop and also the world. sidon being a baby pre-calamity and also everyone in general both in-game and online being obsessed with how boyfriend sidon is, as well as how polite and goofy jungkook is... i think the connection between jungkook and sidon is very clearly there LOL i also just didn't know how to include him in the story because i felt that jungkook just didn't fit into the personality of the other champions. if i had the chance to rewrite this au, i would have had jungkook as link because jungkook is so Main Character Vibes, and then taekook (taehyung and jungkook) would literally be revalink

back then, i remember having a difficult time trying to place who would be daruk and urbosa, but i think i made the right call with hoseok and jin. j-hope (or jung hoseok) is one of bts's rappers and is known as the sunshine of the group because he's just so energetic and positive, and i think that definitely matches with daruk's jovial and encouraging disposition. jin (kim seokjin) is one of the vocalists and is the eldest in the group, and as the kind of like "older brother" figure, he takes care of everyone in the group in a way that's different from how namjoon is as the leader y'know? i think urbosa fills that role for the champions because i personally think she might be the oldest of the group (daruk gives man in his 50s lowkey so i'm like hmmm) and takes care of them in a way that isn't the same as leading.

as for king rhoam bosphoramus hyrule... bang pd (or producer bang sihyuk) is the founder of the company bts is under and is the chairman of the label that bts eventually created. he is, in that sense, the "guy who made bts." he kind of has this fatherly relationship to the rest of bts, but that's where the similarities between him and king rhoam end LOL because rhoam is kind of an asshole who puts too much pressure on zelda and assembles the champions as his own tools to save the country, while bang pd is just this super chill guy who unlike other kpop ceos tends to stay out of the limelight and really just has a passion for making good music. but i thought it would be funny to emphasize a fatherly relationship between namjoon and bang pd KDJHFDKF

there's so many implied dynamics that could go here between the bts members as champions. like for one, taehyung and jimin are regarded as soulmate-besties in the bts fandom, so the implication that revali (taehyung) and mipha (jimin) are soulmate-besties is Feeding tf out of my brainworms like hell yeah. daruk and urbosa shenanigans are gonna line up perfectly with hoseok and jin's dynamic. NAMJOON (zelda) HAVING FEELINGS FOR YOONGI (link)? also lines up, these hoes have been living together for 10+ years and namjoon was practically proposing to yoongi in that one 'respect' performance.

idk.... maybe i'll come back to this, workshop it, and actually write it one day haha!
