Are you gonna make the playlists for the heartless characters public? Or has that already happened and I just missed it

AH I haven't shared my character-specific Heartless playlists as some of the songs on them were SUCH specific picks that they risk being highly spoilery lol 😅

(For funsies tho I'm gonna put some of my non-spoilery-est top tracks for each character under the cut! 🎶)

HEARTLESS: Heartbeat – The Midnight

ALCHEMY: Transform – Julianne Hough (this was the very first track on Alchemy's playlist it is SO them)

FLINT: Change Your Heart Or Die – The Midnight

EIRA: In The Cold – Vincent Lima

DOPPEL+GLASS: Call Them Brothers – Regina Spektor (And "Still Here" from Treasure Planet, but especially the Alex Ubego version)

RIVER: Machine Learning – Janani K. Jha

CREED: Hunting Witches – Kyle Stibbs

LORELEI: Siren Song – Lambia (Also: Ado’s version of Unravel 😩👌)

DIANA: Hell’s Comin’ With Me – (the Chloe Breez cover in particular)

LANCE: Blood Upon The Snow – Hozier (Most of his playlist is the kind of metal and high energy tunes you might expect for him, so this one's a fun outlier :3c )

BANDY: HARLEQUIN! – Vana

DOCK: Eye For An Eye – 8 Graves

[stranded-lullabiez]

What are some songs you associate with Hypnos? Definitely not just trying to get new songs for my playlist...

[autism-disco]

[alaskan-wallflower]

I don’t think the fandom as a whole is exactly what we think - outside of tik tok - it’s actually insanely normal .

I always see a lot of mature comments on Instagram and Reddit and Facebook .

People who talk about things like absences and rumors and nonsense- comes from the immaturity that is that platform of tik tok - and I think it should be reported and taken down- bc it’s very much a harassment tactic at this point

Don’t let people who are trying to continuously be vile take you from liking something- or sharing things about who you like on the show.

It’s funny bc those tik tok commenters on that particular video saying how Brody was mean at the stage door- are really trying to start some type of narrative that is not true -

Bc I can speak only for me- but I met him- and I thought he was insanely beautiful and kind - and very genuine with his time- and we had a very nice conversation about singing and my goal to become better than what I am now.

Another person I spoke to - told me how they felt he was probably the most genuine at the stage door than a lot of actors they had met

when you say ‘people said brody was mean at stage door’ i think it’s more likely than not because he doesn’t always take pics with fans. i seriously doubt he’s mean at stage door, esp since even the little experience where he saw my cane and leaned a bit closer and kinda gestured to the stage made me think otherwise. that’s just me though.

and yeah, i am trying, it just gets insanely difficult when im being gang piled by numerous anons abd people messaging me and it’s been like that for six months. i think im going to take a step back and just make fanart and stuff for the musical. the fan base honestly has ruined the musical for me and running my other blog has made my mental health worse but i frankly feel trapped because i know that blog is the main place people want to ask questions and i dont wanna take away the asks and anon because i know people may have questions, but its so draining and mentally i just cannot handle it anymore. and im trapped.

i really am only one person at the end of the day. and it’s insanely hard to try and keep doing this, because i don’t know when it’s going to end. i don’t know when i’m going to stop getting these messages because it does take a toll on my mental health, which i hate saying because that makes me sound like a victim, and i’m not, but i just wish i was able to help outside of tumblr

[superdeluxeaverage]

I thimk megalopolis was one of the most shitass movies ive ever seen but im glad i saw it in theatres and am gonna see it again with my sister thursday like the best way to describe it would be that it feels like a bad adapatation of a book that doesnt exist there was so much straight up stupid moments in it it felt like unreal spoilers if any1 even gives a shit

Theres this scene where adam drivers gets shot but his face heals with the power of the megalon and he has his face in wraps and when he takes his wraps off and reveals his healing face it plays THE most generic indian and tabla musical cue that in no way matches with the rest of the soundtrack and puts this fucking snapchat ass filter where theres like doubles of him behind him to his left and right infinitely going abd i was like is this fuckinh chowder or some shit. Ill never say the movie was good tho cause theres something i see no one talking abt atleast on letterboxd presumably cause they love deepthroating autuer dick so much even (or especially) when they kno the auteur in question is a creep but there was this weird subplot where there was this pop star with a like "virgin teen" image and they leaked a sex tape of her and the main character so the main character was arrested for being a pedophile but then it was immediately after revealed that the tape was faked (?) (They never say how they just say it was faked) and that the pop star was actually not from america abd was in her 20s. This whole subplot is obv coppola trying to exonerate all his sex offender best friends and its such a gross kneejerk response like why say the tape was fake but then also say oh shes a bad person dishonest liar too lol. Then when its showing news reports of it it cuts to her lile having changed her image to a like pop punk image and making more sexually suggestive music instead of conservative clean music like b4 so its supposed to be like she just moved onto the next image unfazed cause shes a liar its such a cringe subplot and it happens in the span of like 15 mins and is never mentioned again and very clearly is just supposed to be a rebuttal to accusations and scandals sooo fkn embarrassing especially given the fact hes been trying to get this movie made his whole life LOL the two (yes 2) other women in the movie are also treated super sexistly like the main characters love interest has no personality aside from always standing behind her mans artistic vision and passion and "completing" him then the aubrey plaza character is just supposed to be the sexy woman who sleeps with any1 for power like coppola def most sexist guy alive ever the fact he made that movie dedicated it to his wife at the end yup this man is going to hell. Probably the hardest movie to talk abt cause its not u kno deserving of praise the only frame of reference is camp rly like in that same ballpark not so bad its good but just a very wtf type of movie. Im also scared cause shia labeouf was in this doing a type of scary dennis hopper character (coppola even saying working with him reminded him of hopper) and obv this film flopped and is not gonna make any1 famous since even the acting was p bad from every1 or just v disconnected and unrelatable on a human level but watching this has me worried that labeouf is gonna thrive with piece of shit directors by using the dennis hopper/klaus kinski method of having ppl praise ur "energy" when its just that u only take roles where u play sadistic fucks cause ur a sadistic abusive fuck so ppl get convinced ur a great actor when ur not even acting.

I think we should stop talking about weight loss or gain. that shits both personal and subjective.

instead let's be proud of taking care of our health and our body without the need to specify the details.

I'm eating well. I'm healthy and I go for small walks! that's great!

i have been told many times that exercise can brighten up your mood... uhm they're wrong. it won't.

not unless you're in a good mood. which kinda beats the whole argument 😂.

again I won't pretend to be some role model or give cliche advice. it's just me sharing my experience.

going for a walk makes it worse for me... but I think it has been a while since I went to go for a walk because I simply... wanted to? it has always been a chore or an obligation because I'm responsible for my health so I must force myself to fuck off and go for a walk I never enjoy.

I always thought of it as "the cure" or like medicine.

it's really not. specially when you force yourself.

sure it regulates blood its supposed to help you loosen up but uhm... not if every time your heart is about to burst out of your chest with anxiety.

if I'm having a bad day my mood brightens up when I disassociate to music and animations.

it's like a small brain reset. it's probably not healthy but with walking my brain gets over stimulated and bored at the same time.

walking makes it worse. unless I listen to music.

but then I'd walk straight into a car accident so we can't exactly rely on autopilot lili to run this body while I go daydreaming 😂.

I dunno. I never really found fitness gun unless I was in a good mood.

right now I'm glad I'm in that mood to do it!

idk how my brain did it or what I did to make this feeling magically manifest but I suddenly don't feel like wanting to flop on the floor all day! yay???

brain I fucking hate you. you mean to tell me neurotypical people feel like they can do stuff and just ... DO IT!?. like this feeling I'm having rn due to the meds?

BRAIN FUCK YOU.

but also like thanks for working a lil better.

it's okay buddy I know you're like an unbalanced dark souls playable characters.

you magic stat is off the charts but your stamina and defense is 0 with avrage speed and agility...

BUT YOU'RE OVERPOWERED IN MAGIC ABD WOULD BEAT GOD...

if you could walk.

yeah. don't worry I see your strength brain. but can we please remember to appreciate these small steps?

look I'm probably not going to feel like this forever.

idk what makes my executive decide to function but right now it's in the mood to do it.

SO MAKE IT FUCKING COUNT!

So basically Chris has been in MA this whole time/Thanksgiving holiday week with his FAMILY ABD FRIENDS. While soba has been at home in PT with her family and friends. Yup! Checks out!

🤷🏻‍♀️ I just have a cookie jar and know things 😂

It appears that “things aren’t always what they seem. You can’t believe everything you see on my face…”

Sorry, musical break.

Thanksgiving is the holiday that gets you ready for Christmas. He said it himself. Guess reflection time is over.

Do you like old synthpop? Then OHM: The early gurus of electronic music is something for you!!

The whole compilation is on Spotify(some songs missing) and YouTube (3 songs missing) and probably other sites too :) it consists of the most important early composers and pieces from many different places, time periods and styles.

Some pieces uses one of the first ever electronic musical instruments: the theremin! It was invented by soviet musician-physicst Leon Theremin around 1920, therefore the name. This instrument is space-controlled, so you play it by moving your hand around it, not really touching it. It looks really cool!

In the first track (CD:1), "Tchaikovsky: Valse Sentimentale" (2:08) 1977, Clara Rockmore, a true pioneer in space-controlled electronic music, plays the Theremin together with her sister Nadia Reisenberg, who plays piano. This piece is truly magnificent and strange-soundig :D Rockmore actually was Leon Thermins student and protégé in the beginning of her career!

Before this gets way too long I must tell about one of my favourites in CD:1, which is the 4th track: "Williams Mix" (5:42) 1952 by John Cage. ...... And at the end of it you can hear a long abd roaring applause, which is very much deserved, of course :D Chris Cutler (musician, composer) tells about this piece in the booklet included with the CD collection.

"Williams Mix" follows a score five hundred pages long, which has never been reproduced, each page made up of two ten-inch graphic sections. The tape is to be laid directly on the page, which is a pattern showing all the edits and the angles at which tape should be cut, as well as recipes for constructing the sounds each piece of tape should contain -Cutler, 2000

The score he's talking about (a piece of it pictured above, x) is a sort of pattern or guide for making the pieces of magnetic tape that was used, making it possible to split, splice and edit the sounds. Around 600 tracks of sounds from for example the country, the city, wind- and electronically produced sounds. (X) This took about a year and was absolutely groundbreaking work! More info here!

If you liked that one, "He Destroyed Her Image" (1:59) 1973 by Charles Dodge is also a mix of different sounds, but made with newer and more advanced technology, and it's far more melodious and, well, structured. It plays with words like a poem, and Dodge has the following to say about it (from the booklet, source below):

I'd never been able to write very effective vocal music, and here was an opportunity to make music with words. I was really attracted to that. It wasn't singing in the usual sense. It was making music out of the nature of speech itself. I've always liked humor and had an attraction to the bizarre, the surreal. These poems were almost dreamlike in their take on reality. So that made me feel at home somehow. -Dodge, 2000

This is my favourite in CD:3 and the vibes are really amazing! I think thats all for this post but if you are interested, just ask me and I'll write about more of the songs! The whole collection has 42 in total :)

I'd listened to Mohamed Abd El Wahab's "sout el gamaheer" previously when I first got into arabic classical music and i've always been moved by both the incredible composition and text of that song. it has an entirely new meaning to me now. i can't listen to it without breaking into tears

[the1975attheirverybest]

Part 3 made me sad/emotional at the same time abd i want to give both of them a hug.

Matty clearly wants to settle down with a partner and have kids but he also wants to keep touring and making music

But he looks at adam and realises that you can't have it all at the same time and the tradeoff will always leave him unsatisfied no matter which of the two he chooses to prioritise

Sometimes i wish life would give us exactly what we want and when we want it ,even if its just for a day..just to know if how we have imagined things to be will genuinely make us happy .

I think you’re exactly on point here cuz, in the Zane Lowe interview, he talked about how he spent so much of his early career trying to have “all different kinds of love” at the same time. Love from the fans, love from the band, love from his romantic partner. And how he realized that it kind of makes you divided and it’s best to try to focus on one at a time in order to be as present as you possibly can be during each one. So, he’s gotta be happy that the band is the most successful it’s ever been cuz we know this man loves his job so much.

But he’s also in his mid thirties. And he’s been single for a while (before Taylor) so, it must be on his mind to wonder about the future. I will say it’s hard for everyone like this one thing we could all relate to. I’ve had to leave so much behind in order to be where I am right now. Like with getting a job that requires you to move or whatever. Having to relocate for a partner. Everyone’s gotta make that choice eventually. And it’s never easier regardless of the option you end up going with.

But Matty will always have love in his life and he has such a big heart that’s so full of love so I think he’ll sort it out. I don’t know when and it’s anguish in the meantime, but he’ll probably be okay. Probably.

Who are your favorite YouTubers (in any genre)?

okay I'll try (heavy emphasis on try) to stick to youtubers and not things I watch on youtube bc I already talk about CR too often

in the gaming genre (which is what I watch the most):

rintaichou: aaaaa my fave. brings me much joy. so much so that I'm occasionally on twitch watching her streams. anyway: mostly genshin, she's a very impressive and dedicated amber main. the editing on her vids is always very nice.

tuonto: I literally only watch his horror playthroughs on the second channel. they're amazing and this guy's "ok bro ig" energy makes everything not scary at all.

on booktube:

the reading leo: always so pleasant to listen to. her videos are my favourite lunch background noise (but I actually listen lmao) and it's always all very pretty.

cari can read: I'm sorry I'm here for the acotar vids and the chaotic reading vlogs. she's hilarious and her vids are fun.

idk how to name this. normal people:

kenniejd: her bad movies and a beat series has such a grip on me it's unreal. especially with movies I've seen. (also good movies and a glam is very nice. loved watching her gush about the menu bc me too girl.)

dan howell: I'm just your average sad homosexual ofc course I like him.

art corner:

abd illustrates: I'm an artsy dnd-loving homosexual... of course I love him. anyway his art is beautiful, the vids are amazing, he has been a huge motivation for me to keep studying anatomy and shit.

as for music (barely counts, I know):

sunsetdreams: these playlists are lifesavers and I've never worked faster than with the assignment speedrun ones. also the roadtrip playlist is so good. overall just good shit.

meltberry/meltycube: my favourite. pretty voice. nice lyrics. also good with vocaloid. i. good music, man.

parageaphs abd paragraphs of whining over nothing

im on my dad's phone plan and he switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and they told him the phones under his plan could get new phones. i didn't want one cuz i like my galaxy s10 it's got a earphone jack and i fucking hate wireless earbuds (i lose shit easily and quality is always going to be lost over bluetooth) and it's flamingo pink (orange/pink it's so prettyy) and 2020s samsung hates pink BUT whatever i researched my options and got the s24 fe cuz i liked the price more than the others and it helped that the processor and battery life looked better than the regular 24 (i like to keep phones for as long as possible so smth durable is importantto me). (unrelated but there is so much ai oncthis thing like ive disabled the majority of it but why must it exist)

speaking of durable, i was plannkng on getting a good case with good warranty bc ive never cracked my screen and i don't want it ti happen ever. my dad offered to buy me a case so i sent him a link and he said he'd get me one off amazon and i was annoyed cuz he always does this so i was going to get it myself but he said he'd get it. 2 or 3 weeks later he says i didn't send him the link but i did and he said he'd get me one off amazon. they weren't on sale anymore so i couldn't buy them bc i had a medical bill i was worried about and i was annoyed but also not in a hurry, but he was so he said he'd buy me it if i sent him the link again. then yesterday i see the mailman put an amazon package in the mail and i was so annoyed cuz this dude always does this 😭 im a dumbass. the case sucks it's so thin and came with a bubbly screen protector i was at war with for an hour. the camera protector i do like. i do not tjink i glued it symmetrically bjt im goingnto pretend i did or i will lose my marbles. i really wish he didn't offer to buy me a case i would've gotten the light blue parallax when it was on sale for $8. i knew i should've gotten it as a back up fuck. lkke i am so stupid. he did this shit to me when my case broke in 2020/21. multiple times over 3 years he told me he'd buy me a new one then gave me flimsy dollar tree cases while giving his wife and himself good ones 🥴 XDDDDDDDDDDdd i was being cheap too tho cuz i didn't wanna buy it myself but damn why he always gotta lie just say no and i'd buy it

was switching over to my new phone 230pm yesterday when i lost my ability to make calls/texts/use my data and my mom's house has no internet and my mom doesn't have a mobile hotspot included in her phone plan so i couldn't dl my esim to fix the issue 😭 why didn't the thing dl before the process, i had my hotspot on in case it needed to dl anything but the thing never said it 😭 like the paper the phone came with said that i had an esim but why didn't the option pop up 😭 yesterday was a bad day and i had little sleep so this only added to my stress especially since the AT&T calls kept ending halfway thru (i borrowed grandma's phone) and icfeel so bad for the nice lady i was talking to last night because i ended up crying 😭 LMAO

this week it's been too cold for my gay ass to be outside (i get sick easily + ridiculously anemic) so i couldn't walk to the starbucks that's a 1.6 miles away but i went invthe car at 8 this morning so i fixed it and i just wanna say this phone is so fucking Heavy what thebfuckvthe difference between thisnand the other one isnso big like. i have hand pain issues and this isn't helping. also it's wider and my hand can't comfortably hold it so i need to get a really strong case and a wrist strap bc my grip is going to tbe so ass

i had things to do yesterday so no phone made it impossible but im usually fine w/o the phone like i had saeran route music saved to my phone and i could draw on my laptop so it's not the end of thenworld. i was babysitting from 7am-9pm yesterday and it would've been easier to get my sister to docthings if i had songs she liked playing on my speaker but it ok we coloured and she bullied me into cleaning my room and we used grandma's phone to play just dance videos for her to dance along to

unfortunately i may have missed a called from the urology office that i was expecting and ill have to wait til offices open again after the holidays to find out when i can schedule my scan/ultrasound(?) for 🥴 i have no wah of knowing cuz my dad said he called me yesterday but bc i had no service all day i dont even have the notif/voicemail. myhands hurt and my ass is cold okay i will stop whining now no more whining i got it out. did i mention my hands hurt

i need to figure out the camera but he is in his box on my nightstand sleepign good :)

have you ever tried animation ? i feel like your style would look really cool animated

i would love 2 try and animate something one of these days now that i found a free animation software the problem is just having dieas

ive had a few concepts crop up recently but nothing like solidified because i dont have time 2 put into them (juggling commissions and sewing projects) but if youd like to know whats banging around in my head ive been thinking about a DrakeNieR animation to Hello Strobe

and a more general concept one has been bouncing in my head for オレンジに明日はない for a while

and a papalymo and yda one has been in my mind forever to goodbye everyone

oh and another nier one to astronauts

im realizing i actually have a lot of ideas im just not committed. i have like a bunch of oc centric ones as well rolling in my hjead

i always have ideas in my head of lightly animated music videos of some kind floating i am just in a very abd habit of not liking long-term projects that require weeks/months of effort because i like to get immediate release. maybe ill give into it one day

[jentlemahae]

yeah I don’t think the mixxpop concept works. it could if done right but idt jyp has what it takes. personally I love experimental loud music but I understand it’s not everyone’s taste. the problem with a specific music style becoming popular is that everyone else starts following that trend which alienates a whole group of people who don’t like that style. then the industry becomes over saturated with that style and people get bored bcs everything sounds the same and they want something new. after the huge amount of noise music we’ve had in recent years, if current kpop trends tell us anything it’s that the korean gp want simple straightforward music. jyp making a groups entire concept non-gp-friendly is such a weird choice and you’re right, it’s like jyp is wasting the girls time

just bcs next level worked extremely well for aespa doesn’t mean that same success will translate into another group doing a similar style song. so making it nmixx’s whole concept is a huge risk and I don’t think it paid off. imo it immediately puts a huge barrier in the way for non fans to enjoy their music which makes it harder for them to be successful, which again is wasting their time

everytime I hear an nmixx song I always think that if they were 2 separate songs they would eat. the random 20 second change up on this new song was so unnecessary. make that a whole separate song and it would do numbers on kcharts too. tbh next level itself was a risky song but the difference is is that sm has been doing that style for over a decade so they know how to execute it. jyp does not. so atp the mixxpop concept is a hindrance to them

i don’t think the issue is that it’s noise music per se, but it’s the switch up thing itself. while that is fun and interesting on paper, i think making the switch up thing the core of the group’s discography and concept is restrictive to the group’s future because it hinders their longevity, since neither switch-ups nor noisy music have much shelf life left, and hinders any growth and opportunity of experimentation in the future. them not being gp-friendly would not be that much of an issue bcs neither were nct abd skz at their debut, but both groups cemented themselves before noise music took off in kpop, whereas nmixx debuted when the trend was already dying out

i also think the switch ups in nmixx’s songs are that well executed structurally, and the production is not great and does not do justice to the members’ vocals. the girls are SUCH great vocalists but i think oftentimes the production drowns them out a bit. u can hear their skills on songs like cool or love me like this or roller coaster (which don’t have switch ups), but most of their tts don’t do them justice. also, even aside from the music, i think also visually they lack cohesion and don’t spark interest (jyp is terrible with visuals tho so that’s not surprising)

jyp may be one of the big 3 but as a company they tend to follow other companies and their trends and rely on them, rather than setting new ones. and they do so especially for the branding of their ggs - they do market research to discover what’s the new trend of the moment and rely on that instead of fleshing out their own strategies. but while it worked in the past (with twice and itzy), i think it’s failing bad with nmixx. begging them to throw this whole concept away

Quick ish drawing of my splatband ocs, Beak Breakers! Sometimes you just casually quit your servitude under the octarian army to go fart around with a jellyfish who thinks it's so smart and unique for liking octarian music (bonus mini bios under the cut)
