One thing I really love about Steven Universe is how unapologetically, casually queer it is
no character has to “come out.” Ruby and Sapphire are a power couple, Pearl clearly has deep, long standing, romantic feelings for Rose and crushes on a pink haired cool lady. These feelings and relationships are treated just as normally as Greg’s relationship with Rose (of course, as normally as they could be portrayed in the 2010s). They just ARE. They just exist. It’s just so refreshing and nice to watch.
I also love having such a variety of interesting fem-presenting characters. I want to draw all of them, haha!
#I know this has been said a million times already but never by ME#I know SU isn’t perfect#but what show is?#I love it a lot#Steven universe#also the music itches my brain#and like. perhaps homeworld gems’ aversion to fusion is a metaphor for homophobia#but it’s not a one to one metaphor ya know? it is just different enough where it feels not exclusively about wlw characters#the fantasy element helps there

Ok so I was wondering like
Top 0.005% of listeners. That's Pretty Damn Small. But I was wondering Just how small...
357.1k monthly listeners
0.005% of 357.1k is... just under 18...
Guys. I'm within the top 20 listeners for IAMX. Period. 🫣
#speculation nation#16K MINUTES OF MY 59K TOTAL MINUTES FOR THE YEAR...#A LITERAL 27% OF ***ALL*** MUSIC I LISTENED TO THIS YEAR........#cant help gettin emo i guess#like i knew he'd be indisputably my top artist but. holy fuck.#THIS ALSO ISNT INCLUDING THE SNEAKER PIMPS ALBUM... which ive listened to obsessively too#as an extension of the obsession with his music. bc he sings in it.#SOMETIMES AN ARTIST HITS U LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN and ur left like. yeah. yeah .#helps that hes got so many albums so i spent Months slowly making my way through them all.#but then i just kept listening to him bc his music just... scratches an itch in my brain idk.#in part it's the grief. Metanoia was a crutch of an album after my uncle died.#and also with my cat... it was just. nonstop IAMX. for Months.#ive been branching out more again recently bc i do like some variety in the music i listen to#but if i want music but dont know what to play it just always ends up going back to IAMX#because it's dependable. it's enjoyable. it's Comfortable.#his music feels like a reset button for me. like returning to a dark room to sleep at night.#it's not dark for the sake of darkness. but for the comfort of it. existing honestly. existing without fear of judgement.#and bringing the analogy together i really have listened to his music to help me sleep a few times#not often just bc i usually dont listen to music as i sleep. im a light sleeper so i need white noise.#but there were a few times i found myself without a working fan. so i turned to his music to act as white noise instead.#not actual white noise of course. but the function of it. the Comfort. the familiarity.#pick one of his lowkey albums and just let it keep going. and it works. it does.#so like. it makes sense. it does. i understand entirely why i rank so high in his monthly listeners.#it's just a bit mind boggling to actually see the tangible numerical value hfkshdjd bc. man. man...

hi lily!! i am here to ask if you have discovered any good music lately
I have!! I'll collect some of my recent discoveries
I've fallen down a bit of a Mal Blum rabbit hole because spotify keeps tossing them into playlists alongside The Mountain Goats and AJJ, and I'm not mad about it. I really like their music, and I especially like Better Go!
my roommate and I made a playlist together and her music taste tends to be really funky in a way I enjoy, and one of the songs she introduced me to was Mixer by Amber Mark and I can't help but wiggle in my seat while listening to it
earlier this month I went to a concert with a bunch of local bands, and I recommend all of them: Teenage Art Scene, Rashdale, Corduroy Aspect, and The Sylvia Platters! Corduroy Aspect unfortunately does not seem to have their music posted anywhere, but the others have a couple songs on spotify. I recommend Trouble With the Art Scene by Teenage Art Scene, Glass Floor by Rashdale, and Creased Sneaker by The Sylvia Platters! they were all so fun to see live, and none of them have many listeners on spotify so you should check them out!!
and finally for one more, Things Are Getting Better by N.E.R.D! my stepsister queued this song up when we were all at the beach and I immediately had to add it to my spotify lol I've been discovering my preferred niche in hip-hop is like. kinda funk-flavored east coast hip-hop from the 90s (this song is from 2002 but y'know) and I really need to listen to the rest of this album tbh
#asks#puzzlehat#you are getting a taste of the strange range my music taste has lol#from grunge rock to folk to funk to hip hop#OH ALSO AN ARTIST REC! my sibling got me into hana vu and I finally listened to the album public storage and it's SO GOOD#i love. guitars that i feel in my fucking Brain.#my friends and i were talking about synesthesia recently and i've found that i associate some songs with a texture#and her song Gutter has such a like. rough texture to it that it feels like sandpaper in my brain in a good way#like scratching an itch. it rocks.#anyway yeah enjoy these songs!

#i haven't listened to this one in a good long while but it's really fun imo!!! short but sweet :]c#honorable mention to the guitar in here also as well as the artist's vocal color... scratches the right itch in my brain i think <3#thanks for the ask skrimp!!!#ask game#music#audio#skrimpstick

my spotify search history atm is so funny lol its like, renowned canadian singer-songwriter leonard cohen! danish death/doom band konvent! whatever the fuck u would describe heilung as (wikipedia says "experimental folk" which, like, sure. but also its like some kinda ancient germanic/viking type of thing) ! classical chinese opera & folk songs ! cannibal corpse! harvest dawn from tes oblivion ost! celtic frost's A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh! moist ! carmina burana! and so on & so forth ......
#u know when u Really Really wanna listen 2 Some Type Of Music but u canNOT figure out what hyperspecific music will scratch that brain itch?#yeah.#but also i do generally like all the above things its just. my phases r usually a bit more. consistent. discrete.#also holy fuck ive not listened 2 cohen in an age and a half i forgot how Everything his music is <3#also if u know any songs similar to that celtic frost one PLEASE hmu 🙏🙏🙏 i love it but cant find much that hits Quite the same......#also im kinda like meh on death metal as like. A Thing. like its Fine its Good 80% of the time its not what im lookin for#but im Always here 4 women who do the harsh/growling vocals and godDamn do konvent deliver. more women in heavy metal 2kforever#awhile ago spotify had a thing that was like 'heres ur weirdest match up' as in one the fewest number of users went from 1 artist to another#the same as u. and i got lana del rey -> tool and like. that aint shit spotify where tf do they pull those from.#barely scratching the Surface of weird

Tagged by @icychoerim thanks for the tag!!!!
rules: you can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first ten songs, and then tag ten people. no skipping!
I’m using the only playlist I ever use lately which is labeled stim songs and it’s basically anything I’ve listened to that really itches my brain or makes me happy. It’s not done yet but are playlists ever really finished.
Good Boy Gone Bad - TOMORROW X TOGETHER
Miss Missing You - Fall Out Boy
If You’re Thinking of Leaving, You Should. - Social Repose
If We Ever Broke Up - Mae Stephens
i hope ur miserable until ur dead - Nessa Barrett
ZONE (Bang Chan, Changbin, HAN) - Stray Kids
ROCKSTAR - xikers
Drive (Bang Chan, Lee Know) - Stray Kids
ice.cream (Hyunjin) - Stray Kids
We’re Just Kids - Call Me Karizma
Tagging (no pressure I just think y’all are neat): @here4theheartbreak @onlyoneofsideblogtrashheep @staticmonster999 @atinystraykid @accal1a
#tag game.#personal.#about the weirdo who runs this blog#listen. there’s a lot of stray kids in this shuffle. It happens. but it’s pretty accurate.#my music taste is all over the place. I almost just shuffled my liked songs list but that would have been even more chaotic.#and I don’t even know half the stuff in my liked songs list bcs I have a tendency to just like stuff I need to listen to…#and then never listening to it.#also. a couple of these songs are hella emo. I am Hella emo. it’s fine.#deep end by Felix is also on this playlist. bcs his voice is nice and itches my brain.#which is literally the only requirement to make it onto the stim songs playlist.#im surprised HALAZIA by Ateez didn’t show up in this shuffle.#or Labour by Paris Paloma bcs that has been on repeat for like three days.

me, listening to the Inception soundtrack and loving it: fuck Hans Zimmer actually. Making me lose my mind over four notes. Asshole (affectionate)
#inception#hans zimmer#but seriously i love soundtrack loll#it really is so repetitive but it just. idk it scratches an itch in my brain#also old souls. oh my god old souls.#listen to old souls right now#the first minute or so of old souls makes me feel emotions i can't explain#wish I actually knew stuff about music theory so I could pinpoint exactly what I love about it#but oh well#losing my mind on this hellsite will have to do#rambles from the ether

In a previous post I had mention how I had to write an original story that could fit into the Odyssey for school (like a backstory for side charater, or a new monster Oydysseus would face), and instead I choose to describe the deaths of characters whos names aren't even mentioned, so here you go:
There had been no warning- Everyone had their eyes fixed on the dreaded Charybdis, the giant whirlpool who sucked in the ocean and spewed it out. The scene before them was blood curling. A piece of driftwood had managed to reach the edge of the vast chasm created by the sea monster, and then, faster than the blink of an eye, it had disappeared, sucked into the swirling mass of water. The daunting picture that was unfolding in front of them had taken their attention away from the other monster that lurked in this sea. All but Odysseus remained unaware of the hidden horror, up until six of them had their ankles and wrist bound with lines that felt like snakes, and were lifted up off the boat. “Odysseus!” they shrieked in agony, being hoisted higher and higher, “Odysseus!” they screamed as they writhed and gasped, “Odysseus!” they yelled as they struggled to reach their arms out, Odysseus, who turned away. Odysseus, who never told them of their faith. Odysseus, a cunning man too smart for his own good, and a betrayer to his best men. The men that were loyal to him, and followed his leadership. The men that would never see him, or anyone else, again.
They were pulled over the open choppy sea, time slowing down as they were pulled to their deaths. A view in front that only two of the six witnessed, the others were binded as such so they could not turn their heads The other four would not view the horror before them, the terrifying monster that would be that would be their demise.
The cave was bathed in the dark, a ghastly state, and the rocks stood like teeth, befitting of its owner. Scylla herself was a wicked being, a creature that was too frightening to be used as a caution tale to keep children in line, If they were to recount the meeting of the beast that was thought to be a myth, it would leave grown men quivering in their shoes, and a chill running down their spine. These six men however would not live to tell another story again. The two that could see the terror before them would note that she had six faces, all straight from nightmares, and the warped grin on each revealed six sets of shark-like teeth. Her eyes were somehow soulless, but also filled with glee upon seeing her meal. Scylla unhinged her six jaws, one mouth for each crewman, And then they were gone. Swallowed whole, and not a hair left behind. Nothing was left of them, and seeing how little it appeared Oydsseus cared, it brought the question if they would be remembered at all In the moments before their light was extinguish, There would have been only one for them to blame. One person that was truly at fault for their horrifying ending. If they could by chance have one last conversation with the exploiter that put them here, they would tell him, ‘You rely on wit and people die because of it.’
#odyssey#odysseus#charybdis#scylla#scylla and charybdis#Also I wrote this a while ago#and the final line was not based off of the one in EPIC the musical#so I didn't mention it#but the way that Jorge Rivera-Herrans had written the line “Luck Runs Out” is scratches an itch in my brain
