#also I really liked that specific song. it was ✨️such a vibe✨️

[arttsuka]

You need to listen to the song “When I Drive” from Bonnie and Clyde the musical because it’s so Jigen and Lupin coded

Thanks for the song recommendation anon. It really was them coded

Here's a quick drawing of them :)

[neopolitangumdrops]

✨, 🧊, 🍀, 🙌, 🍎 for the OC ask 💙✨️

✨️ - How did you come up with her name?

I really just looked up "dark names for girls" and "parts of a house" to come up with a catchy name. It's also not a stage name for her; after all, the Dethklok boys' names are their birth names.

🧊 - Is her current design the first one?

The only thing that's different from her original design is her hair color. I was gonna give her rainbow hair (❤️🧡💛💚💙💜), but I later decided to experiment with her hair some more, and realized how much more suited the blue, purple and pink hair did. (Plus, bi-coded, isn't that sweet C:<)

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

I know my biggest inspiration for her was the tiktok influencer and singer, Bella Poarch. She's not metal, but her songs have both cute and dark vibes.

I was almost gonna give her similar personality traits as Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, but she's more cheerful. They have some stuff in common still (both having ptsd, have a humorous/silly side to their personality, knows what it's like to be trapped, even Aurora's relationship with Toki has some similiaries to Lapis and Steven). It's also a coincidence that Lapis's va is also Filipino.

Her being a beauty guru... no one specific gave me that idea. I just thought this would be a unique idea for a Metalocalypse character. Michelle Phan was one of Aurora's inspirations to become a beauty guru, that's for sure!

🙌 - How many siblings does Aurora have?

As far as Aurora knows, she has one older brother... she doesn't want to talk about him.

🍎 - What is Aurora's relationship with her parents like?

Unfortunately, not good. She never got to meet her dad, but one thing for sure is that he lives in the Philippines. I haven't decided yet on whether or not she'll actually get to meet him in her story. Her mom on the other hand, Aurora has been no contact from her for years. Her mom has tried to reach out to Aurora and "apologize" for the treatment she gave her in her childhood, but accountability was never actually taken in said apology.

🎶✨️When you get this ask you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, post it, then send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positive vibes are cool)🎶✨️

I uhhh... haven't actually listened to music in a while. How do people find good music? I try using those websites that recommend you stuff based on other stuff you like, but their recommendations are always based on lyrics or "similar artists" and never like, the actual vibe or emotions the song gives off?? Spotify discover just keeps recommending me pop hits I've already heard.

Anyone wanna give me music recs?

I'm looking for songs that:

Aren't about romantic love. Please, for the love of god, I want songs about literally any other human experience. Platonic love is acceptable, so are songs about healing from abusive relationships. No break-up songs or songs that use romantic love as an analogy for something else though. I am sick

Bonus points if the topics are about: being in your 20s, dealing with chronic illness or disability, fuck capitalism, self-love, wanting more from your life, or is just relatable as fuck.

have interesting, creative, or complex lyrics. Like, most of the pop and rock music I am familiar with is so simple that even Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero feels like a breath of fresh air to me. I would settle for Taylor Swift-like stuff at this point. I have been settling for Taylor Swift. Help

Are melody-heavy or have really pretty melodies

Have some classical music influence or come from a genre that does (like heavy metal and Broadway musicals, for example, are both classically influenced)

Bonus points too if the song has a very specific emotional vibe, like it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, its comforting to cry to, or its the kind of song you'd sing out loud in the car when you're really happy.

Idk this feels so oddly specific. Please help.

If you need some ideas, some Taylor Swift songs I like are Could've, Would've, Should've, You're On Your Own, Kid, and All Too Well.

Though All Too Well is about a break up, its gets a pass because at least the lyrics are mildly interesting and specific.

Two of my favourite songs are November Rain (Guns N' Roses) and She Used to Be Mine (From Waitress). November Rain is a romance song but I don't really listen to the lyrics. The melody and angst just hits so well. But god I want more songs like She Used to Be Mine.

Can anyone help me, please? I'm soooo desperate.

Oh also, bonus points if the songs are by small artists. I never seem to be able to find stuff that wasn't top 100 at some point in the last 50 years.

[thescribblings]

I have spent literally the past 7 months waiting for a nickname for my au's future leo to just appear in my brain, and i really wanted it to be something a bit more unique and original than 'Nardo', i also really wanted it to be related to the moon in some way

(since he has the vibe of this song in my head)

but none of those fit him, so i looked at some others, and 2-3 weeks ago, i found ✨️Orion✨️

I've been contemplating it since, and i think it fits enough for it to be his official nickname now :]

Although the others do still call him all the usual nicknames, mainly Nardo or Leon or anything like that, depending on if lil leo is in the room ofc

but if for example splinter needs to get specifically big Leo's attention across the lair? You bet he'll yell 'Orion' as loud as physically possible in his fatherly fashion

It also makes it so lil leo can't send Orion in his place if someone calls him over anymore (he probably pulled a prank and is avoiding the repercussions by throwing Ori under the bus lmfao)

That is all

Have nice day :]

tagged by @leporschespam 🥰 Thanks!! <3

(I had to go and take a look at the Most Played on my music player, then I took note from the ones I know I actually listen a lot)

Me and My Husband by Mitski

A few months ago I was taking a quiz, as you do, and, in one of those infamous song lyrics questions, there it was. That's not where I found the song, though! (it happened long before that). I'm telling you about this specific moment because, in the quiz, it was classified as a song about codependency, and when I read that I was like “Yeah. Pfff. Alright.”, you know, incredulous, but then... I started thinking about all the ships I relate to it... And, as you can imagine, I went from oh to oh very quick.

Use Me (Original ver.) by PVRIS

The new version with a rap part is good too. Not very necessary, but good.

PVRIS is one of those rare bands I vibe with many songs, instead of just few and far in between.

I ALSO REALLY WANT TO EDIT VEGASPETE WITH THIS ONE BUT I NEVER GET AROUND TO DO IT 😭

Sad Girl by Lana del Rey

I used to think the lyrics said 'He's got the fire, and he talks with flames'. It sounded really cool in my head.

Choreomania (Live At Madison Square Gardens) by Florence + The Machine

The studio version is ok BUT THE LIVE VERSION IS EVERYTHING. I love dancing and being dramatic to the sound of Florence songs.

Also, I was today years old when I finally learned how to spell the title of this one (and what it actually means) 🤡

Baby Came Home by The Neighbourhood

What I like the most about this song is that it's tranquil, relaxed; beach vibes, even. Till you get to the bridge, and then you can't help but scream at the top of your lungs.

That's also a Moonjo/Jongwoo song!! I go completely feral every time someone edits them with it.

+ Bonus! New song I've had on repeat lately:

Bells in Santa Fe by Halsey

The first time I heard it was in the new season of YOU, but back then I didn't care enough to go looking for it myself. However, everything worked out just fine, because a week later I found it again—in the playlist of a KinnPorsche fic, of all things.

The reason why I'm listening to it so much at the moment is, Idk, maybe because I'm under stress, and the chorus feels like a daily affirmation/mantra thing...?

Halsey: All of this is temporary.

Me: Yeah I sure fucking hope so lol

I'm supposed to tag 10 of my favorite followers, so, let me see... I'll tag some blogs I see in my notes often, but I may not have interacted with directly yet:

@arson-is-lit @wholesometoad34 @notsocharmy @anamaycrystal @technicallyausername @phant0m-l0rd @knifeyrat @thealmightyawesomegay-blog @blue-ladoo @mayablackwolf

I haven't spoken to most of you before. I don't know if you like games, or to be tagged in said games, and, to be honest, one by one, I feel like this invitation will most likely be politely refused, for one reason or another. Doesn't matter. I may never know what kind of music you're into, but I know about other stuff that you like. And you know about stuff that I like, too.

Both to know and to be known feel nice, and good enough. Thank you for being around. 💚

Hi fellow INFJ 🙋I appreciate your engagement on my posts. Thanks. Just getting to know you a bit through this ask game :)

Hi!!

In no particular order! Just songs that I really enjoy and wish I could add more haha! I couldn’t not include one of my fav French songs as I’m gaining fluency in the language :)

I love sharing my favorite songs so I hope you’ll give them a listen if you haven’t already heard some of them, I tried to pick songs I listen to that I’m usually the only one in my friend group who does obviously I am a fan of more popular artists as well but I didn’t want to include Taylor, Hozier, Ariana Grande and Lana in this list hahah!

- I know I don’t post very much on here! But I try to be ‘human sunlight’ in my real life which I know isn’t always the vibe INFJ give off and a lot of people are surprised to know I’m more introverted than extrovert (I am very close to 50/50 to be fair) / my friends also call me an ambivert as well! But I hope that that can be reflected on my feed!

Enjoy!!

- If you haven’t listened to any of her songs before Lolo Zouaï is one of my favorite artists and I wish I could have put more songs on there by her but I limited myself to just one! I love her new album Pl4yg1rl (playgirl) specifically the songs VHS and picking berries and Room!! But all are so good! Amelia Moore is also incredible!! Teaching a robot to love is an amazing album as well!

<3

- If you don’t know French you can look up a translation to the song but démons is a translation for demon (obvious I know) but it’s a metaphor to her anxiety and depression the chorus can be translated to ‘how can I fight my demons’ more accurately translated to how can I kill my demons. I really like the message and how they both share their struggles and it even got my sister who hates French songs to listen to it and like it hahah!

<3

- Another note to @boundlessfantasy !! I really enjoy your posts and so im happy to participate! I hope this helped learn a bit more!! I hope you enjoy the songs and artists!! Happy to help a fellow INFJ 🫡! :)

[words-after-midnight]

Hi buddy! Its Athena, I'm sending this out to all my mutuals - what got you into writing, what inspires you, who inspires you and what music inspires you to write? what do you love about writing?

hey Athena, thanks for the ask!!

I honestly couldn't tell you what got me into writing lol. I have the stereotypical "started writing stories before i can remember" backstory, ~age 4 in my case (i was writing by age 3 but i started writing little "books" when i was around 4-5). I started writing with the intention of getting published someday when I was 11, but I've been writing stories since I was literally a toddler. It's just always been a part of my identity. I can only assume my mom reading to me every night since I was born and instilling in me a deep love of reading and stories contributed, but beyond that I have no idea.

What and who inspires me is a BIG question, so I'll narrow my answer to the music aspect because it really is, and always has been, the biggest inspiration and source of ideas/"idea seeds" for my stories. I have an eclectic music taste, so what inspires me is usually dependent on the story and based on ✨️vibes✨️ to a certain extent. For Life in Black and White, some of my major inspirations (keep in mind I drafted this from 2008-2011) included specific albums/songs by Gordon Lightfoot, Depeche Mode, Mother Mother, Coldplay, Sixpence None the Richer, and Our Lady Peace, among others, as well as the song "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" (yes, the Christmas song - probably the only Christmas song I actually like). For The Dotted Line the vibes are kind of a chaotic mixture of horror synth and classic rock. For Supernova my central musical inspiration has been Enya (mostly vibes-wise, but many of the songs have relevant lyrics as well).

I'm also very partial to - and inspired by - instrumental music, particularly piano. There are piano pieces I've come to associate so strongly to certain scenes that basically the song plays and I can see the scene play out in my mind. My favorite piano artists, featured on either or both of my story playlists for Life in Black and White and The Dotted Line (I'm too lazy to link rn, but you can find them in my pinned post if interested) include Jeremy Weinglass, John True, Ludovico Einaudi, Evgeny Grinko, and Alexandra Streliski. Also a huge fan of the piano album "Perséides" by francophone singer Coeur de Pirate.

5 Favourite Songs

thanks for the tag, @smblmn!

🎶✨️When you get this you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, publish, then send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨️🎶

I feel so self-conscious tagging, so if you'd like to do this, consider yourself tagged!

I'm going to go with 5 songs that I've woven in with fics, hope that's okay?

Holocene - Bon Iver

And at once, I knew I was not magnificent

This is such a wintry song, and so ... still. I needed to feel some frozen-over vibes for the fest fic, hence Bon Hiver

Come on get higher - Matt Nathanson

I miss the sound of your voice And I miss the rush of your skin

Full disclosure, I chose this for a fic about a giggly, drunk-dialling David entirely for the word "higher" in the title. But it's also works for a happy, loving relationship, which is where they are in Come on get higher, loosen my lips.

Warm with you - Hayden Calnin

We could build a house away from here You and me in the middle of nowhere Fight the frost of the morning blue I don't care, I just wanna get warm with you

Okay, hit a bit of a snag, because I chose the title for Open arms and wide awake from a different song, which didn't really match with the vibe I was going for. This is much more aligned with that vibe.

I'll Be Yours - Amy Shark

I fell over you You were sitting the hall What a stupid place to sit What a pretty place to fall

This has such joyous, heartfelt lyrics, and these first ones specifically inspired an early scene, so I borrowed them for Anything for us.

Apollo - Noah Reid

And when the autumn leaves Fall on Toronto You can follow me

Oh, my heart. This is a perfect song, with a beautiful melody and some utterly gorgeous vocals. I adore it. In my mind, it's indelibly linked to You can fall.

[jakeperalta]

Also did you see the Speak Now vault songs track lengths? We are getting some long songs! I can't believe it's less than a week away and I'm so excited! Will you do a guess ranking for that too? Maybe we will..tried with Midnights and it was okay. But usually my sister and I will just pick a few and split it up. For Maisie I was kinda right too. So mine are Castles Crumbling..she took the one with FOB, When Emma Falls In Love obviously, and I Can See You cuz she wanted Timeless. They were all around the same length so it didn't change my mind. The only thing that bothers me about this is cuz the ones I picked were all in a row haha. Also these all seem to be about different things or can't really guess what its about. I've just recently realized I guess that's important to me when listening to an album of a lot of songs which might be just me and idk if other people care about that. But I also get when an album has a specific theme or vibe. How important would you say a variety of topics within an album is to you?

yes, I love that we can trust speak now taylor to write a long song!! the vault track titles definitely seem like they're about a variety of things, it's hard to predict what the vibe will be with any of them (and of course with it being speak now they could be a range of country or pop inspired sounds too). I think I often prefer albums that are more focused around a specific topic/theme and sort of tell one big story of that experience (which is usually a breakup), but obviously there are plenty of albums where their variety is part of their appeal!

clearly I am useless at guessing from titles but I'll keep trying and maybe eventually I'll be more accurate haha so for speak now I'm going to go with:

when emma falls in love > castles crumbling > foolish one > I can see you > timeless > electric touch

not long to wait now!!! ✨️

[yellowloid]

hello dear! i just read your songs analysis and i think they’re really insightful and clever! i would be so happy to read other song analysis from you (both from tlsp and am)! also i love that you wrote the analysis from a personal view but not under the milex lens (although i would love to read your take on that version)!

hi anon, and thanks!! i'm happy to hear you appreciated my analysis, i love overanalysing lyrics so i'd be 100% down to make more. just drop the am/tlsp/mk songs you want me to analyse in my inbox (and whether you want the analysis to be strictly personal or you want me to go Full Milex Demon TM), and you can bet i'll end up writing a long-ass analysis post. i have so many theories (sometimes even different ones for the same song lmao like in this case) and they're just waiting to be put on paper.

now, since we're on the topic...

✨️mr. schwartz and body paint milex analysis✨️, by yours truly

(once again, this is just fan analysis. it's just as valid as any milex fanfiction i've ever written - meaning that it's completely fictional and i'm not in any way shape or form implying anything about them as real people. just having fun with lyrics and possible interpretations!)

(+ as i said in the other post, i'm analysing them together because there are so many interesting analogies between them and i think they might be connected. brace yourselves because this is gonna be long)

so in the other post i talked about anyways (and the ultracheese, but we could also add star treatment to the mix) as an introduction to the new album, how from what we've seen so far of the car it seems to be a very self-reflective album.

the vibes are quite similar, but if the tbhc self-reflection was done on purpose, almost calculated, the one that seems to characterize the car appears to be almost... annoyed. there's this subtone to it, a faint hue that gives it a sense of reluctant introspection. he's not doing it willingly - he's almost forced to do it, incapable of bottling his thoughts up any longer. like he finally understood he can't run forever (could be the effect of the pandemic, who knows). Also, the tbhc lyrics were absolutely cryptic, and even though the car ones are just as cryptic in some instances, we also find very straightforward, concrete lines ("come here and kiss me before it gets too cute / [...] and if we guess who i'm pretending to be / do we get a prize?" from Mr.S. as well as "watching your every move i feel the tears are coming on [...] and i'm keeping on my costume [...] and if you're thinking of me, i'm probably thinking of you" from BP). if tbhc had ten layers of mysterious metaphors covering it, the car has like... eight, i'd say. still very cryptic, but with a tiny bit more clarity to it. there’s still a lot of smoke covering it, but we can make out shapes a bit more clearly than we did in tbhc.

speaking of anyways specifically, i'd like to focus on that for a moment. everyone knows how it's a very, very personal song - but i don't see enough people talking about the evident parallels with see ya when i see ya:

"what a place for both the opposite sides of my double life to finally collide"

"you're feeling alive, a jekyll and hyde / [...] leading that double life"

like. do i even need to say anything. see ya when i see ya as a whole just screams of alex, but those lines? that's just miles telling everyone "yeah, this is about my absolutely platonic no homo bro", except it’s full homo and he knows he couldn’t make it any clearer even if he tried

also special mention:

"spilled the unspillable beans" (from the bourne identity)

"i put myself on mute before i spill the beans / oh, not again" (from SYWISY)

like. are you getting the vibe? because i sure as hell am

now, taking into consideration the whole discourse about double lives, masks and façades, let's get to Mr.S. and BP. as i said in the other post, in both songs it feels like he's talking to two different 'you's: himself (alternating it with 'i') and a mysterious interlocutor who appears to be someone he has history with. you and i both know who i’m thinking about lmao

body paint comes before mr. schwartz in the tracklist. he starts off strong, straight to the point:

"for a master of deception and subterfuge / you made yourself quite the bed to lie in"

these first two lines seem to refer to him not being able (or not being allowed) to be his true self; this is also confirmed by the 3rd and 4th lines, which are all about the need/urge to keep up (false) appearances and the misery that comes from it: "do your time traveling through the tanning booth / so you don't let the sun catch you crying". the sun could be spotlight, the media and the world's eyes on him, watching his every move. this whole “façade” aspect could easily be interpreted as him hiding his sexual orientation from the world for fear of being judged.

in the second stanza, this awareness also translates into self-deprecation (possibly internalized homophobia):

"my teeth are beating and my knees are weak / it's as if there's something up with the wiring / you can poke your head behind the mountain peak / you don't have to leak that you've gone into hiding"

he blames himself for this situation, for "having gone into hiding": the guilt takes up the form of physical symptoms and he asks himself whether there's something wrong with him ("something up with the wiring"), but at the same time he won't "leak" it, he refuses to admit it.

then there's a turn and he seems to be talking to the other person: "i know what you're thinking", which has Big Milex Telepathy energy, because who else could he share that kind of connection with?

now let's consider these lines from mr. schwartz:

"might be half a love song in it all for you / timing wise it's probably for the best / come here and kiss me now before it gets too cute"

at first he seems to be considering the possibility of giving himself and the other person a chance - the timing is right, they should just live in the moment without dwelling too much on anything else ("kiss me now before it gets too cute"). but then, after the chorus, this happens:

"gradually it's coming into view / [...] as fine a time as any to deduce / the fact that neither you or I has ever had a clue"

it's a bittersweet realisation slowly hitting him: right after he's almost been able to say fuck it and just live in the moment, he realises that neither he or the other person really knows what they're doing - what they've been doing all this time, maybe in terms of how deep they were really in, or how getting that deep would only inevitably end up hurting them both. he’s justifying them and at the same time almost criticising them, because they didn’t know what they were getting into and they really had no idea what they were doing (although, may i add, the other person might disagree on that. they certainly did know and he's just looking for excuses).

and then we have these lines from body paint, which seem to continue on that same route:

"watching your every move i feel the tears are coming on / it won't be long / it won’t be long"

he can't stop lingering on everything the other person does, almost obsessing over them - and at the same time this makes him even more miserable, because of two possible options:

a) he considers giving their relationship a chance, but fears it won't last

b) he feels like he's running out of time, and he needs to make a decision because the other person is still moving around, they won’t wait for him forever, and he feels "it won't be long" until they'll eventually move on. (may i add 2.0, if he thinks miles could ever move on and forget about him then he's even dumber than expected. oblivious king 😔)

however, stubborn as he is, he's choosing to keep up the façade despite his pain ("mr. schwartz is staying strong for the crew"; "and i'm keeping on my costume" in BP), keeping up his appearance ("wardrobe's lint-rolling your velveteen suit"), because he knows that's just how the industry works ("mr. schwartz is having tea with the grips / asking after all the wives and the kids / it's at the heart of what the business is"); he can’t live freely – he’s committed to the role he plays in the industry and he’s convinced breaking character and living his truth is simply not an option. neither he or the other person can change that, it’s just how things work ("there's not one god damn thing that you can do about this"; this also reminds me of these lines from star treatment: “i found out the hard way that / here ain't no place for dolls like you and me”).

but deep down he knows that, no matter how hard he tries to ignore his and the other person's feelings - it doesn't change the fact that those feelings are there, they exist and they can’t just pretend they don’t ("and if you're thinking of me, i'm probably thinking of you"). because that's what they've been doing for years – thinking of and obsessing over each other.

i also find this very interesting:

"and if we guess who i'm pretending to be / do we win a prize?"

it feels like he's responding to miles' attempts at deciphering him, of reading through his behaviour over the years after 2016 (through the entirety of coup de grace + some change the show songs). all these years, miles has been telling him through the veil of song to drop the façade and just be who he is, to stop being afraid and give them a chance, because no matter what he'll always be next to him. this is alex's reply: cynical, because the rose-tinted glasses (the same "rose tint" he mentions in mirrorball, perhaps) are gone, he can't see things the same way he did in 2016 because he forced himself to wake up from that dream. because he's convinced it was just that, a dream - one that could never come true.

but he knows the facts are there, he hasn't forgotten about the past and he knows miles hasn't either. and they can pretend everything is absolutely platonic on the outside, for the sake of their public image, but they both know what used to happen behind closed doors: "straight from the cover shoot / there's still a trace of body paint / on your legs and on your arms and on your face"; photoshoots representing their public side, and the two of them being the only ones who are able to see through each other's public façade. they marked each other in some way, and that mark is very much still there - but it's only completely visible to them, because they're the only ones who really know what happened. it's between them, a secret hidden in plain sight.

(+ these lines sound 100% fully sexual, i'm sorry it's the truth. we all thought about it and i won’t hear anything else about it) (also shout out to @haonsworld for speaking the truth about this part. you're braver than the us marines)

and yeah, alex may be skeptical about the possibility of them ever being something again ("having attempted twice, both incorrectly"), at the same time he can't let go of a tiny spark of hope, asking both himself and miles: "do we get a third try?"

this could also be interpreted as the other anon was saying - that is, them discussing the possibility of tlsp3, and how to make it happen.

either way, although a bit scared of failing, he's asking for a chance. he's hoping for it, despite maybe not knowing exactly how to handle it. but miles has been waiting for him all these years, hasn’t he? and he's ready to stand next to him in that journey.

after all, miles says it himself in caroline: "let me save you from yourself because / caroline, you're living on the edge this time / [...] take my hand / and go and lead the life that you've planned / 'cause you're gonna be just fine / my caroline" ❤️

the most difficult tag game to ever attack me in my hour of need (what she means is a saturday) ✨️

I was tagged by @kimchokejin to post my top 5 of bangtan songs!!!!! haha THIS IS FINE!!! very happy to have an opportunity to talk about my favourite songs but VERY SAD I HAVE TO CHOOSE. 😭 thank you Ashley, reading your post was an amazing experience and I recommend it to all. 😩👌 you're lucky you're not only smart, but also funny and pretty, otherwise you'd catch these hands in the metaphorical parking lot of life

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO and no specific order:

🍷dionysus🍷

I wanted to start with a song that actually got me into bangtan!! JUNG HOSEOK YOUR MIND. I think I've told this to some of my lovely mutuals here before, but to me this song is really built like a rock song if that makes sense?? the build up and structure is so similar!! but it is also so HIP HOP and CATCHY and lyrics are ABSOLUTE ART. as a greek mythology hoe i had no choice but to stan bangtan sonyeondan. it is also widely known as natalia's wine song among my friends so you can say i like it a little.

🥲outro: tear🥲

I love this masterpiece beyond words. If I had to pick just one bangtan song to listen to forever, I'd possibly pick this one though PLEASE DON'T TELL MOM* (*my other bias). This song got me through a lot!! The lyrics are so beautiful and heartbreaking, and it hits even more after you know the context in which they were written. YOONGI MARRY ME as usual he is a genius he said so himself but also Hobi kills me every single time with his performance of the last verse. I have NEVER not cried watching a live performance of him rapping it. The emotions he gets across are... pardon my French but holy fuckity fuck.

😩lie😩

speaking of my other bias... LISTEN. I love Filter as any other folk BUT if I have to pick just one out of Jimin's solo songs, it has to be this one. It has it all, beautiful performance, identity crisis vibes, stunning vocals of the baby himself, AND THOSE LYRICS TOO. It hits so much especially if you've had to hide yourself in one way or another, and it can be applied to so many situations - power of art and Park Jimin. also, in my mind, this one and bs&t are connected...? idk if by the vibes or the era, but I love both of them almost equally, though this one still hits harder. also, although the performance completes it very well and Jimin can express the emotions so well through movement (one of my very favourite things about him as a performer), it can easily stand on its own and it's still so captivating!!

🦋butterfly🦋

This song is so beautiful in EVERY SINGLE WAY. The soft vocals, the longing, the lyrics!! It's such a good depiction of young love (or just very soft love, sort of 'too-good-to-be-true' love), NOT TO MENTION THE HARUKI MURAKAMI REFERENCE I SEE YOU KIM NAMJOON (and I love you). It might be my favourite track from the whole HYYH era actually though please don't ask me 'and what about [insert track] cause I WILL change my mind. The vocal line shines in this one, not only for their skill but PRIMARILY their emotional expression. I'm a big fan in case you haven't noticed??

I honestly love this song so much!! Not only is the concept beautiful and the performance is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE (bangtan sonyeondan trendsetters), and even the mv is something you can watch multiple times in one go because it's so aesthetically pleasing, but also there is the song IN ITSELF. It's so raw and honest, and let me preach about the lyrics once again (KIM NAMJOON!!! CATCH THESE HANDS!!!) - it's such an amazing depiction of an artistic burnout, oh my god. the idea in itself that the first time an artist (or here more so a dancer) dies is when they no longer have energy to continue with their craft... IT'S SO POWERFUL.

🤧epilogue: young forever🤧 no this is not 6 you just can't count sorry you had to find out this way

this one is just always going to hit different, and even more so the live version. the lyrics are... I can't even stress it enough, but they might have altered something in my brain chemistry. The idealisation of youth, never wanting your best moments to end, but also knowing that there is no way to stop the time from passing - WOW. WOW. Also I especially love the lines about running endlessly towards your dream even if it hurts you - it just HITS SO HARD. Even though in terms of the way it's built, it's quite a simple song, it really gets the message across perfectly and I love it for its straightforwardness!!

honorable mentions: whole bts discography actually but especially autumn leaves, mic drop (my most streamed bangtan song), boy meets evil, epiphany (I WISH IT MADE TO THIS LIST TF it's so important to me), paradise, outro: her (BIPHOBIC THAT I CAN'T PUT IT ON THIS LIST), magic shop, intro: persona, first love, make it right, home, intro: singularity (AND SAME WITH THISONEHSIFKDK) .. ok I should stop???

hello to my fellow sufferers 🫂💗 I'm doing this out of love I swear, and also NO PRESSURE AT ALL this shit hurts: @pjm-1 , @wistfulocean, @shrimpmsg, @aprylynn, @hopeonthestreets, @hopeinthebox, @cordiallyfuturedwight, @ki-limepie. 💗

bl / gl tag game

I was tagged by @icouldhyperfixatehim in probably Feb/Mar but I literally just had not watched enough bl/gls to actually do this. Then got tagged again by @talays-portkey recently (it is no longer recently, this has been in my drafts, 98% done for a month??) and was like ohhh I can probably do this now!

your all time favourite bl character and why

I'm gonna say Pat and Pran both bc bb is SO dear to my heart and I feel like they are a good representation of "opposites attract" bc they handle things/think differently a lot but are so similar it works.

what's your one character from a bl you wanted to punt into the stratosphere ( you only get one so choose wisely )

Honestly none? If there has been any show where I've really disliked the leads then I've probably given up watching, as for side characters I'm willing to forgive a lot in fiction that I probably wouldn't IRL. Also shitty people give the story more drama and I do live for the drama. One thing that I do find bizarre and I struggle with are characters who ship other characters in the show and will tell them, or post about them on social media... it's just something I would feel weird about if it happened to me (and I can't imagine that happening realistically as someone who grew up in Ireland in the 2000's.)

the best music moment from a bl

Ok ok, living for bb and the rooftop kiss but the very specific moment when Pat is telling Pran all the things he liked when Pran was gone (I didn't need to compete, or be paranoid, or know what your GPA was etc) and Pran is clearly upset about it and then he says "but it was so depressingly lonely for me" and Pran looks back at him and it's the moment where everything starts to change and just as Pran looks back into Pat's eyes with hope for the first time there's a little 4 note drum roll (@10:14) and it just perfectly encapsulates that feeling of anticipation when your heart skips a beat, I just [muffled screams into a pillow]. Also the Not Me industrial sounding background music. It was so different for a bl but works perfectly with the aesthetic and the feeling of the show. Same with Heartstopper, great soundtrack, perfect vibes for the show. Also the intro song for The Eclipse, I really love it too!

what's a popular heterosexual text that you would like to see adapted into a bl / gl ?

Looove a cheesy romcom so maybe a GL 10 Things I Hate About You, or maybe one day my dream of seeing A Cinderella Story with Austin Ames realising she's a trans girl will come true!!! Or the lesbian 13 Going On 30 where she goes to the future to realise she's in love with her best friend (a girl, sorry Mark Ruffalo) and realises she's gay and maybe that's why people picked on her at 13 bc they all knew she was ✨️different✨️ and she goes back and is like "i know being gay is scary rn but it actually does get better and I've seen it!!". Coyote Ugly!! The Prince and Me!!!! Gimme lesbian romcoms I beg!!! Most of these gave off wlw vibes anyway, making them gay now would just be righting the world.

a scene from a bl that always makes you laugh ?

We Best Love where they almost get caught on the couch and Shuyi introduces himself overly formally and Shide just laughs at him and Shuyi gives him the 👀🤨 (gif)

Also, that moment in Semantic Error after Jaeyoung gets asked to work on Sangwoo's project and he's in slow-mo dancing down the stairs like "yeah, I'm gonna ruin this kid's life".

what two random bl/gl characters would make hilarious exes ?

Not hilarious but Namu from Not Me and Ink from Bad Buddy. They meet when Ink is taking scenery photos and sees Namu's graffiti and they get to talking and they have similar ideas and ideologies, Namu starts bringing Ink to protests and Ink brings her to some exhibitions etc etc they stay friends after bc wlw.. and then in the future the BB gang inkpa&patpran all start attending protests together. (Didn't P'Aof say patpran would definitely be joining those protests if they were in the same show? Like it all makes so much sense)

biggest disappointment ?

The way Not Me just sort of fell off in terms of storyline in the second half. Its only a disappointment bc those first episodes were incredible and the show deserved better.

who would be the funniest person to watch a bl in its entirety and which one would you make them watch .

Tankhun, and seeing as we've seen his reactions to steamy scenes and action or horror shows I feel like we should watch Manner of Death? I haven't seen it yet but I've heard it's steamy and mafia based so he could pick apart the mafia stuff and go wild at the smut.

best wardrobe moment / or character wardrobe from a bl

Shuyi's emo boy wardrobe from season 1 of We Best Love.

Wei Wuxian's emo boy wardrobe but make it historical.

Ink's lesbian art teacher vibes from Bad Buddy. (Extra shout out to Pat's ep 12 teal shirt and Pran's jumpers)

HELLO DEAR IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG SINCE I'VE SENT U AN ASK SO HERE I AM

ok so. ✨️vibes✨️

☆ this is very specific. but- sitting at a big solid hardwood dining room table that's just a bit too big for the room it's in, laughing and drinking hot cocoa/coffee/tea, probably just slightly tipsy also, making homemade halloween costumes out of old curtains and paper plates and too much glitter. a judy garland record is playing on a turntable in the corner

☆ going out for a drive & talk with your girlfriend's dad for the first time, being super nervous about what he's gonna say or think of you, but winning him over because you know the lyrics to all his favorite classic rock songs. and, y'know, 'cause you're awesome

☆ spending the day and night with a small group of friends, ending with climbing to the top of the tallest parking garage you can find, sitting on the roof and watching the sunrise. you're not sure if that's even legal or not... there's a little voice in your head that keeps going is this allowed? am i allowed to have this? but as the sun rises, you feel like the king of the world, fuck the law

☆ the feeling of waking up from a nap in the middle row of a van during a road trip. no idea where or when you are or any frame of reference, but also a deep conviction and peace that those details don't really matter

OKAY THAT'S ALL SORRY IF IT'S CRYPTIC ILY 🧡🌇🥰
