don't listen to strangers by mt. joy and think about Kevin and Jean post-Nest, maybe a year or two down the line. not healed, but healing, wondering if they'll ever be able to cross the chasm Riko and the Moriyamas' abuse and Kevin's injury put between them
#I'll leave it up to y'all to decide if they do#i think they do but it takes years and years of work to overcome the resentment and hard feelings on both sides#idk having grown up in a (decidedly less intense non-mafia) cult these two just hit me so hard#bc there are definitely different power structures at play#and very complicated emotions behind leaving/being left#anyway making a VERY niche playlist lol#jean moreau#kevin day#aftg

terrible playlists no one asked for!
this year has been big for me in terms of djing and how it is very much about the curation of a space, what towns prefer as opposed to cities, which countries are more open to niche preferences than others.
i also started making mixed CDs for my friends again, it's something i stopped doing in 2019 when i caved and started using spotify (and here i am now, intending to move away from the platform lol). it's really nice to make gifts for your friends, esp when you are constantly away from your home city/country.
anyway here's some of my # faves i've slapped together from my rekordbox sets/things i've burned onto CDs for friends, on spotify for convenience
"work from home" people at 10am on a tuesday - what the title says i guess. still refining this one but it’s fun to dance to. lots of scandinavian star production. the bird is one of my fav musical discoveries this yr, if ur ever in copenhagen, come see him. was not prepared for his incredible live energy + tht basshunter tattoo (lol!)
forgive me father for i have synthed - featuring some lust for youth, purient, mbv, yves tumor. those kind of vibes.
the sunday sessions volumes - every sunday evening, my best friend and i program music for an hour or two. vibe depends on the day. vol 1 is quite moody but chill i.e king woman, slowdive, chelsea wolfe
pissing me the fuck off all by yourself handsome? - mostly hardcore/punk stuff, a lot of aus 80s/90s bands and onwards
snapping on the latex - funky! thanks fox mulder for the title inspiration.
testicular torsion - uh, my personal go to 'just fuck me up' mix. 16+ hours of unorganised mess from my physical metal collection. idea is you find what you like in here and go from there. it's very broad. also yeah, this is a part two. don’t ask where part one disappeared to.
demazin heartache - some fuzzy noisy dreamy shoegaze to alleviate your springtime break up season n hayfever woes. not sponsored by demazin sadly. made for everyone that went through a brutal spring breakup recently (something was in the water for sure) <3
#tunes#playlists#txt#vibes are all over the place on here#ur welcome to browse on there its a mess just be warned#shout out to kbh’s music scene fr#zee's mix

Do you have any YouTube video essay recommendations?
Sure!! Keep in mind, I don't tend to get into super-niche ones, since after watching them once I just cycle them into the sleep rotation, so it's pretty likely you've heard of most of these already.
Pathologic is Genius, And Here's Why - a classic and one of my favorites, partly because i just genuinely love pathologic, partially because i get infinite use out of ARTEMY BURAKH'S TORMENTOUS NIGHTMARE. hbomb has a lot of video essays that i like, so I won't link them all, but safe to say you'll get a lot of mileage out of his stuff (i tend to stick to the media ones though rather than political - i already know shitty people exist so they tend to just stress me out a lot lol)
iBinged iCarly (and the follow-up video, The End of iCarly, as well as The Failure of Victorious and its follow-up, The End of Victorious) - I grouped these together a) because they're by the same guy and b) they're pretty inter-connected, since the shows are by the same showrunner (you know, that one notorious creep who made his fetishes his child actors' problems, among other things). Might be worth checking out The Scandal of Sam and Cat by him as well? I can't actually remember if I've seen that one so I know what I'm doing tonight lol. Anyway you've probably heard of these if not watched them (ie the 8 hour long Victorious video essay). I linked to the videos in a playlist so you can also check out his other video essays if you're interested in them.
The World Record History of Super Mario Sunshine any%, The World Record History of Super Mario Sunshine 100% (120 Shines), and The World Record History of Super Mario Sunshine's Most Competitive Level - what it says on the tin, all by the same guy, but there are tons of speedrunning world history videos out there.
SummoningSalt also has a ton of speedrunning world history videos available and is largely responsible for the popularity of the genre.
The Speedrun Where Link Stares at Rupees for 17 Hours - low% is a pretty niche speedrunning category, and this is probably the goofiest example of it. I love it. A short, 15 min dive into it, which is very funny to me considering the actual run's length. I really love gymnast86's stuff - he's great at explaining stuff for a casual audience, which always makes him fun to watch during his gdq runs, but it also works very well for stuff like this. This video and The Glitch that allows Zelda Speedrunners to time travel - which goes more in-depth into one of the tricks used in the run - are both on LowestPercent's channel, but his actual channel is here - he might have a few similar things there as well? But it's mostly actual speedruns and randomizers.
Why Knights of the Old Republic 2 is Beautiful; An Analysed Playthrough - as the name suggests, this is half-playthrough, half-analysis, but I'm counting it anyway because It's My List And I Want To. SulMatul has a few more video essay-type vids on her channel as well, including Pathologic Analysis; Themes of a Dying Classic and Dissecting Pathologic 2; Why It's The Best Game of 2019 (THATS RIGHT IM BRINGING IT FULL CIRCLE BABEYYY THIS LIST IS A TRICK TO GET YOU INTERESTED IN PATHOLOGIC) and one on We Know The Devil which I haven't watched yet but I HAVE played the game and it's incredible, and knowing Hayley's work I'm sure the video is great as well. Huuuge huge fan of her content, and I think out of all of these she probably goes deepest into the subjects she discusses.
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting off the top of my head, but hopefully that's a decent start for you, anon!
Also, not a video essay, but I'd be remiss not to link it since I mentioned it in my original post: the 0.5x A Press video

HI THERE I SAW YOUR TAGS FREAKING OUT ABOUT ELBOW ON MY GERASKIER PLAYLISTS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
little fictions is the only album I know by heart cover to cover, but I certainly enjoy the others!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH
WHENEVER I SEND ANYONE AN ELBOW SONG REC IN THE CONTEXT OF A CHARACTER THEY ALWAYS SAY THEYD NEVER CONSIDERED IT BEFORE AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME HAVING A NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS MOMENT
you’ve made my day
holyyyyyy shittt im so sorry i didn’t see this before but it’s only *checks watch* well over a month late !! (sorry.) but yEA my mancunian friend introduced lil american me to elbow and theyve topped my spotify wrapped (yes even above tad) the past two years lol their stuff means a lot to me and is also So Good
but fs like. again i would Not ever insinuate that elbow is Niche or Unpopular—literally played the olympics etc etc—but i do think that they aren’t necessarily in The Minds Of Fandom™️ very much. but MAN they have such a great discography and sm good songs it’s like *makes aggressive grabby claws at the air* so much potential!!!! overlooked!! unseen!! (yes i’m being dramatic. not sorry)
anyways if anyone who sees this listens to elbow PLEASE hmu i love talking abt elbow songs
aaaaannndd uuuhhhhh 👉🏽👈🏽 hopefully not beign too pushy but uhhh. if anyone here wants some fandom related recs……. i’ll just throw out a couple so i’m not being Too Much but:
hotel istanbul [listed as a non-album track under the seldom seen kid (bonus tracks version) album on spotify] - oh my god if anyone listens to One [1] song i write here PLEASE let it be this one. every time i scroll through geraskier playlists and don’t see this song i feel Robbed. to me it feels sooooo them but no one else knows about it and i lose my mind. idk if musically it fits everyone’s vibe check but Lyrically. holy fuck holy shit. like to my understanding it’s abt a guy who’s havin a shite day but this other person’s presence makes them feel better or smthn??? anyways it’s fuckinnnn haaghhh i’m- it literally goes “damn your eyes / so blue” LIKE????? i lose my mind over this song in geraskier context every time someone Please listen to it and tell me if i’m going insane or not
puncture repair [under leaders of the free world album] - man i love this lil guy sm. diff energy from hotel istanbul but i see this one as the quieter geraskier moments, the travelling together for 20 years. it’s so quiet, it’s so routine, it’s motions that are muscle memory, it’s care etched in creases, it’s thoughts traced through nerves for the thousandth time. also works from either pov i think
bones of you [under the seldom seen kid album] - i think?? this could be a yennefer song??? either abt istredd or just like her past life. also sonically i rlly like the vibe for her, dunno if anyone else’d agree w that tho
audience with the pope [under the seldom seen kid album] - ok honestly i dont know if this one’s very accurate since i wouldnt call myself an arbiter of quality yen&geralt vibes, but i do think of them when i listen to this song so,,? do with that what u will
anyway i have oodles and oodles of these but these ones that r like, supported lyrically the best ig??? sorta?? maybe not but yea ive got elbow-witcher song thoughts for Days but the other ones are maybe more vibes-based so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but if anyone’s intrigued…… i mean hmu
#witcherteevee#elbow music#this IS listen to elbow propaganda btw. unashamedly#it’s funny bc like. i listen to all the elbow albums i kinda just sometimes pick one to play off of whatever mood im in etc etc#but since they have like sm songs n albums and stuff#it was rlly funny to see my spotify wrapped songs/artists distribution#i was telling my friend who intro’d me to them that my highest elbow song was seven veils at like 22 or thereabouts#(i had like two or three tad songs top 5)#and they were like: ah. fair enough#then i dropped that ‘aND IM A TOP .005% ELBOW LISTENER AGAIN LETS GOOO-’#the individual song distribution is not the highest but with all of it combined… mwah#it’s simply bc they have too many good songs i must spread the love to all the albums

♕ ( muse e / 27 / cis woman / she, her, hers ) — did you see CAMILA MONROE wandering around the island today? they kind of look like ALEXA DEMIE from certain angles? i heard around town that the PERSONAL ASSISTANT/CAM GIRL/CON-ARTIST is RESILIENT, and ALLURING, but also MANIPULATIVE, and INTANGIBLE. people say that they remind them of THE SOUND OF 6 INCH HEELS THAT COME WITH A TRAIL OF BROKEN HEARTS, MARKS LEFT ON COLLAR BONES, and MAKING SURE THE OTHER WAKES UP TO AN EMPTY BED, and STUPID by ASHNIKKO is definitely their theme song. they seem like a nice enough person, but we all know how hard it is to keep a pristine reputation in a small town.
+ camila monroe was born in miami, florida. she grew up in a tiny house filled with helluva amounts of family members because no one could really afford a place of their own, and her own parents needed help in keeping up with the bills.
+ she’s super just why…. literally the only way i can describe her is that she is vindictive and conceited and doesn’t give a single fuck about anything or anyone? she’s dedicated to living her life the way she wants to, by her rules and hers alone.
+ ^that was all seen throughout her growing up. she would often skip class or just not show up at all. but even though she wouldn’t be present, she still passed the classes. rumor on the street it was cause she would fuck her teachers but I mean, who knows.
+ basically this bitch feels nothing so she gotta live it up on that fast and dangerous lifestyle. no regrets kiddos. drugs? she’s in. sex? she’s in. anything “risky” she’s into it.
+ cause of the lifestyle of her parents working nonstop, she was never really raised by anyone. it was mostly her raising herself and then the teachers at school if/when she showed up.
+ cam is very reckless. she isn’t used to people sticking around. she likes to cause unnecessary drama just for the rise of it all. just chaotic evil 24/7. she’s the first to throw hands always. she’s super sarcastic but can cause accidental humor out of it but then will glare at you for laughing if she hasn’t hired a hitman. uh, she is a very fun person to hang with though if she’s cool with you. if you somehow find her calling you a friend or sticking up for you, you got yourself a warrior though ngl.
+ she is newer to kings haven, attracted to the high-end class of people. her ‘personal assistant’ job is a cover up for her cam girl and con artist work. she started conning guys back in high school, and saw it as a niche - it’s how she keeps up with her high-societal facade.
+++ trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma…. ect. i like to keep her shit pretty private cause she lies about half of it so people don’t ask anyway *shrugs*
+++ she’s a sag sun, aquarius moon, leo rising and her venus is in scorpio so like…. toxic lol
you can listen to her playlist HERE
JUST LIKE THIS AND YOU KNOW I’LL COME PLOT WITH YOU AND TELL YOU MORE THEN THIS MESS OF AN INTRO

I envy the portable cassette player generation. Cassettes may melt but they don’t skip!
But anyway I have a lot of nostalgia for any media that involves a physical object with self-selected songs, that you can give to someone. I used to make mix CDs for my friends in high school. I used to make mix CDs for myself! I had a lot of fun writing the track list in tiny sharpie spirals around the CD so that it would all fit.
You can put 120 minutes of music on most CD-Rs, how was I gonna waste ANY of that? My mixes always had 30 songs on them, some with long titles, and I always included the artist, occasionally the track length, and usually I’d have space for a mix title & small illustration somewhere. Essential!
I also liked getting the kind of mix CD that came with a flimsy jewel case and lined paper on which to write the track list. Then I could devote the surface of the CD itself to a larger, more legible title. Maybe a to/from note. Maybe a drawing.
Now we have online playlists…and while I do like those, I can’t give them to people, and that makes me sad. I can’t even share most of mine because I’m on Apple Music and most people have Spotify. I could try switching to offline media and give people flash drives full of curated music, but that’s sort of fundamentally a Different Thing.
I’m seriously considering learning how to make mixtapes, and giving people cassette players to play them with. The nice thing about a mixtape is that you can also record messages in between songs, like a radio DJ for a very specific audience. “This next song on the tape is called ‘Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding’ by Jesse Winchester off the album Love Filling Station, and it’s about nostalgia for young love, nostalgia for old love songs, nostalgia for youth, and nostalgia for nostalgia. Whenever I listen to it I think about 50s high school movies, middle school Sock Hops that were retro even when we were kids, and the way I felt about my own high school sweethearts” …you know. Personalized stuff!
(The Dream is to learn to play music well enough to do an all covers mixtape once in a while…I’m a rank beginner at learning the guitar, and I’d need a few more instruments if I wanted to lay down some decent tracks for a lot of songs, but I’d love to be able to record even one stripped down basic cover of “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young and put it on a mix for someone I love. The trouble is most of the songs I want to learn are full of angst and idk what message that sends to the audience, but hopefully once I get a little more confident on guitar I can branch out. Nobody wants to get “Lua” on a romantic mixtape, lol. Bad sign! And “Needle in the Hay” is for a pretty niche audience of Elliott Smith fans and people who really connected Luke Wilson’s arc in the Royal Tenenbaums. Plus I can’t actually play it yet. Anyway - work in progress.)
What was your first source of portable music? Walkman? CD player with headphones? MP3 Player? iPod? Phone?

fic link: the time is now
fandom: hollywood undead (band)
au & setting description: i literally still don't know how to describe this weird fucking au lmao, it's just my niche brainchild? ive just been calling it a modern w/ magic au lmao.
ao3 summary:
Five men who have never known each other are brought together by what seems to be the hand of fate.
Something is very wrong, and unfortunately for them, they are in the center of it.

Alright yall. Welcome to a lil series, where I'm doing a reread of my own fanfic <3 It's been in desperate need of a reread, as I want to continue it - hopefully very soon - but I haven't touched it in 3 years and it was standing at nearly 67k last time I updated.
This is really just gonna be commentary and notes I make as I reread through it (as well as some lore infodumping)! Since I need this to help me in continuing it, this is going to contain a Lot of spoilers.
Anyone is more than welcome to read along with me, if wanted! No knowledge of the band is really required, this was a pretty original(?) and kinda weird concept that snowballed so fast I don't even remember how I got the idea LOL.
Anyway. Making the first actual post for this shortly here! So excited to revisit this story, it meant the world to me.
---
taglist: n/a [if anyone's curious abt this fic and wants to be added or removed to the taglist in these rereading posts, just hmu <3]
also, here's a tiny playlist i started making for this fic years ago

tagged by @figsandphiltatos :)
shuffle your on repeat playlist (on spotify) and list the first 10 songs and then tag 10 people
First Time by Hozier -- Been listening to this one (and the album in its entirety) since last October and like much of Hozier, it spoke to me! I think my favorite part is about the flowers,,,, mothers gifting life to you again, how a plant lives mostly underground in the roots, deadened to light and sound but reaching for the light anyway, even when it's doomed to be cut back for its beauty?? how the plant knows it's dying but puts forth its every effort to make flowers anyway?? "fighting off like all creation the absence of itself, anyway" ANYWAY????? and the end hurts a special kinda bad ough! ough!
Sjamboksa by Gang of Youths -- god knows I love these boys, but this one is an unsung gem from their earlier albums. "In the thick of my heart, by the skin of my teeth, until I'm forgotten, and covered in weeds, and my withering soul is in the sea, i will hold on to you, hold on to me." It has a warm, heartful sound that gets me emotional
Keep Me In the Open by Gang of Youths -- not your typical love song. It's about a relationship in the end stages of failing. It's always been a heartbreaker, and I appreciate it filling an uncommon niche. "When did everything get this weird? how the fuck did it start? did you ever believe in me? was it always so hard?"
Welcome Home, Son by Radical Face -- I've loved this one since like 2018? or 2017? It's an EXCELLENT "thinking about your OCs" song with excellent vibes. Generally this band is good for this purpose, recommend their other stuff since I think this is their only big song. I enjoy Small Hands iirc. They have very visual lyrics that I can smell yk? "Sheets are swaying from an old clothes line, like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass, was never much but we made the most"
Wildflower and Barley (Feat. Allison Russell) by Hozier -- This makes me think of Seurri and Erastos' year together in their mutual downtime, enjoying the glade together and Philander learning to be comfort in a gentle, quiet love. the fuck . the vibes are... like, jazzy and folksy. "springtime from my window, another month has not much longer now, the sun hesitates more on each evening's darkening, would all things god allows, remain above ground? like grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley"
I Don't Know You by Mannequin Pussy -- Excellent intro to their show in Atl. Started us off easy for sure lol. It's soft, it's about regret, it's about knowing your regret and still being unable or unwilling to act on it i think. plus longing
Little Dark Age by MGMT -- I don't remember listening to this a ton recently but in general? yes. I'm claiming this one back from the fashy teens who wanna use it in ww2 edits, this song slaps severely and the dark and mysterious vibes speak to me. good for OC imagining lol "The humor's not the same, coming from denial" IDK if this song has a coherent meaning (ik MGMT can be cryptic) but I havent interpreted it and I like it that way frankly
Too Sweet by Hozier -- Who could have predicted! OHhh! who knew! This song is for Solomon and Solomon only idc idc idc idc "But you worry some I know, but who wants to live forever babe" like yess mercenary queen work i need you to concern your elf nobility non-wifey wifey endlessly
We Don't Believe What's on TV by Twenty One Pilots -- Middle school makes a bold return! I stopped listening to these guys before 2016 I think, but I got a hankering for this particular song because I'm so unsure of what I want to be or do, or if I can even be or do that. I want to be unafraid of the future with somebody and I don't think I could relate to this song in middle school but I get it now! Also I refuse to factor religion into my interpretation of top or I'll stop enjoying it again shh
Archie, Marry Me by Flyte -- This song is one I'd occasionally play on loop late at night, the echoing choir and soft, what, organ? in the background? If I had a wedding this would probably be in it. It's so warm and personal, but I love the original by i think Alvvays! This cover I just think I love more.
I don't think I have any steady mutuals who haven't already been tagged in figs' post so... like or rb this or otherwise let me know if you'd like to be tagged in anything in the future :)

I hope you dont mind but since you've left spaces open for sulu, scotty, uhura, and chapel I figured I'd step in with my own like a nerd
Sulu: dont have any specific sexuality or gender headcanons for the guy but he's gotta be some flavor of queer I fear. used to love going to beaches as a kid and cant stand it anymore, listens to a weirdly varied amount of music genres (like you'd look in his playlist and find top 20 pop list type music and the most niche shit you have EVER heard of. also some shit Chekov snuck in there that he decided he didn't care enough abt to get rid of) also probably the type of guy to just have the One playlist and its just his liked songs and everyone who looks at it is like "dude wtf IS this". he has no explanation. Next to Spock, he's the most heat-resistant of the group, though unlike Spock he actually handles humidity fairly well (cant relate im from the desert I would drown) Oh also you cant tell him shit cuz he's a major gossip sorry
Scotty: probably unlabeled honestly if I had to guess, I don't think he would care too much abt it... or think too much abt it.... busy w/ da ship. honestly this is barely a headcanon but the mf just loves feeling impressive at any given moment. about anything. ever. Also has definitely fallen asleep while working on something and almost wrecked his whole face. oh also he probably had a cat at some point in time that would sit on him as he slept and one night he accidentally like. threw it off in his sleep. and he felt really bad about it. dont ask how I know it was written in the stars shsshhh
Uhura: either lesbian or bi, personally I lean towards lesbian for her. can draw!! really well actually!! does it in her free time and sort of keeps them to herself, I think if she met Data they'd bond over the little art adventures going on there. Also she can only hypothetically cook. like- she knows what needs to go into a dish, and how to make it taste good, and she could instruct someone on what to do? but as soon as she actually physically tries to make a dish just. 🔥 uhhh has a collection of ancient (lol) cassette tapes that she Can Not Play because she couldn't find a working cassette player. Scotty's ended up working on making one as a side project
Chapel: lesbian. that is a lesbian woman with comphet. absolutely. 100%. has some betazoid in her but not enough to show At All (though to be fair, not much to show up anyways. also this is my watsonian explanation for Lwaxana having her exact face, though tbf ig like it could be the other way around but SSSHHHH) and was also raised on Mars for some of her childhood. oh also has just the most insane Bullshit Detector ever, it's very very difficult to get a lie past her. as a child her hair was brunette and got more blonde over time, but her hair in tos is dyed to give it a different tone. also this one goes against canon but ACTUALLY WEARS GLOVES IN SICK BAY AND GETS ANNOYED WHEN BONES DOESNT
ahem- now, I'm going to be very self-indulgent for a moment and, instead of just leaving it there, I'm going to attack one more character with my headcanons because he's my FAVE and NOBODY EVER MAKES HEADCANONS FOR HIM so uhhh. that's my thing rn I'm hijacking your post a bit
Sarek (I love him sm I'm sorry): as a little boy he was probably one of the least well behaved, most rambunctious, and emotional children on the whole of Vulcan, and for the most part was just generally a pain in his parent's asses for a long long time. eventually he became the hyper-strict unemotional logical vulcan he is now, but he definitely wasn't always that way, had to be drilled into him. that's feeds into my headcanon for why he treats Spock the way he does, there's slight fear at him acting human but generally, his fear leans more towards Spock ending up like he was as a child. totally incorrect fear my guy but hey idk what do I know. oh also I think you can't ever show him star wars because he would see Anakin's storyline and have a heart attack spontaneously. OH OH ALSO- this one ISNT a headcanon but I-Chaya was HIS pet first! the headcanon here comes in that I firmly believe when he was like. 6. he picked up little tiny baby I-Chaya and was like "im keeping it. mine now." like a child adopting a stray cat off the street and their parents begrudgingly accepting it.
sorry that's way longer than the other guys' I think abt him a lot
favourite star trek headcanons?
Oh boy I have ALOT hehe (thank you so much for asking :3) (and these are just my silly headcanons and it's totally find if you disagree with them <3)
Id like to hear your favourite headcanons @etherealspacejelly :3
Kirk: Hes trans and pansexual (or bi I like both), that bitch loves to vouge its his favourite dance move hehe, kept the boob window shirt from amok time and wears it just to annoy Spock, is Jewish, (this one is more for AOS kirk but whatever) He LOVES 90s and early 2000s rap and hip hop such as the Beastie Boys.
Spock: Jewish on his mums side, is gay MLM or unlabelled (I like both hc), really likes ambient music and falls asleep to it and white noise.
Bones: Is bisexual (yeah no, no character in TOS is straight sorry) loveeees to sing country songs when no one is around or can hear him even while on duty (Kirk definitely caught him once singing and teased the living fuck out of him), he loves to wear low raise jeans (old man whore), he has anger problems, a chronic smoker (yes yes he's a doctor but come on...he needs to let off some steam man) loves old country music especially from 20th century Earth, a massive fan of Dolly Parton and sings her songs regularly (his singing voice isn't actually that bad either, quite soothing but slightly deep)
Chekov: bi-curious (NO SLAVIC PERSON IS TRULY STRAIGHT...coming from a slav hehe) weed smoker so he probably smells like kush 50% of the time, is eastern orthodox (religion wise) he absolutely adores late 20th century (80s-90s) Russian Post-Punk such as Кино and Nautilus Pompillus, he also listens to Bladee and the drain gang in general (idk man he just seems like the average drainer/Bladee fan) also uses She/Him pronouns...(or that's just me projecting myself onto him)
...yeah you can CLEARLY see which characters are my favorites hehe (also I didn't put on hc for sulu scotty uhura or chapel since I barely have any)

(Halloween headcanons that no one asked for but I am sharing anyway):
🎃 Happy Halloween, everyone!! I thought I'd share some random headcanons about my Strangerville OCs because Halloween probably won't be shown in the story. Fair warning this is so long lmfao like I'm serious... it's a lot of words. I rambled a lot. But if you actually read this ily and hope you enjoy! ❤
Tashia obviously loves Halloween. Outside of her birthday or her close friends/family's birthdays, it is the best day of the year for her. She hosts a Halloween bash at the 8-Bit every year for adults and sets up a whole treats and food station outside for the kids - caramel apples, apple cider, pumpkin spice cookies, full sized candy bars, popcorn, hotdogs, etc.
On the flipside, Erwin surprisingly doesn't like Halloween all that much. He loved it when he was a kid, but he would say that all holidays kind of suck when you get older (ever the optimist lmao). He is the king of minimal effort costumes - for example, his normal clothes and a pumpkin head that he definitely doesn't take off even to smoke (I like to imagine the cigarette poking out the mouth just a little lmfao).
Beckett and Junia would costume shop together. They are only dressing up because they're being forced to anyway, so they're going to grab a bagged costume from Spirit. They're not picky, they don't have time to make costumes from scratch!
Anwar didn't celebrate Halloween for most of his childhood - he always forgets about it and has to throw something together last minute every time. He never learns.
Zoe loves group costumes and couple costumes. She's a sappy person who loves expressions of friendship and love. She's never worn a scary costume in her life. She would assert that the world can be scary enough and on the *1* day she can dress up as something, she's going to take that opportunity to dress up as something fun and happy and magical, damnit!!!!!
Tashia likes her costumes to be scary and sexy. Anwar just wants to be sexy. Beckett will always pick something super recognizable because it makes for good conversations and jokes.
Junia is an artist but has 0 creativity when it comes to dressing up and cosplaying, so she always needs help and suggestions.
Erwin and his big sister Maggie used to carve very specific pumpkin faces growing up (really recognizable, ridiculous ones basically) so he takes the time to carve a pumpkin every year and set it out for her. He figures that if she's alive and sees it, she'll know he's looking for her. And if she's not alive... well, he figures she'll at least know he never forgot her, he never gave up on her ever.
When Zoe finds out about this habit, Erwin is worried it's going to weird her out or make her feel bad for him, but instead she's totally understanding and asks if they can put one at her house too, just in case.
The gang has scary movie nights at Zoe's when they have some downtime. Everyone (except Tashia) is terrified when it's Erwin's turn to pick the movies because they're always either (1) horrifying and gross or (2) just horrifying. He takes pride in his niche horror talent.
Tashia has a "spooky music" playlist she made herself that she listens to starting in like mid-August. She thinks it's dumb that "Christmas people" get music on the radio in November and that's normal but listening to Halloween music isn't.
Halloween in Strangerville feels like stepping back in time. The streets are decorated and people are all outside participating (no houses with their porch lights off). Even the local businesses decorate and hand out candy (and the decorations they use are quite literally 30 years old lol). There are yard decorating contests and doors open everywhere, it's just got that "small town" feel and everyone is talking to everyone.
The Roswell's couldn't take Beckett trick or treating most years, but after he got sick his mom started feeling like it was important for him to not miss out on childhood experiences. She would dress up with him (he would choose the costumes and she'd wear them no matter how ridiculous) and she'd take him trick or treating. Ted always worked on Halloween, so it kind of became a bonding day for Meredith and Beckett.
Junia is tough as nails, but she hates gore with a passion. If the movie has gore, she will be watching from behind a blanket and trying not to gag (while spending the other half of the time annoyed with people making stupid decisions.) But don't point out these quirks or else she will get very grumpy with you lol.
They all tried to go to a haunted house one year but Junia accidentally got so scared that she might have punched one of the workers. Needless to say... they don't do haunted houses any more 😂.
Anwar works at a hospital (he's a nurse) and during the holidays he is always the kid's favorite because he tries his best to make it fun for them! He always has candy or little toys, memorizes innocently spooky stories to share with the older kids, even incorporates little silly spooky things in his uniform. He comes off really cool and level headed, but he is soooooo soft around kids.
Zoe has watched Hocus Pocus so much that she knows it word-for-word. She can even reenact the "I Put a Spell on You" performance perfectly. She also loves Coraline!
Erwin and Zoe binge watch the 90s Goosebumps episodes during the month of October. (Also it should be noted that Erwin can play the Goosebumps theme on guitar which is super silly).

ok maybe i will do a proper year in review completely unprompted
to preface. see my art year in review. i'll only be mentioning less impromptu art stuff here. remember. this is hardly a comprehensive list.
january.
i went on a mini road trip and took the above picture and these pics of a red shouldered hawk. i also made this silly spn uquiz based on my own (more niche) music tastes. and apparently these misha collins in the tv show 24 gifs lmao
february.
started posting my spn art to tumblr :') listened to that entire every single personal jesus playlist i started making amvs! they're silly though: [sam short king] [metatron short king] metatron gaslight gatekeep girlboss gifset connor and i put together a list of all the states that featured in spn eps and i made it into a gif!
march.
destiel bezos sext giftset (which i would later remake in sept) cas aesthetics... spn 4 horsemen uquiz
april.
this was my giffing era. for the sake of saving time, let's attribute most of the pinknatural era to this month. also rainbow trench gifs. finished up the siegenatural fancam! and my beloved fly away amv...
may.
i changed my url 😳 and graduated from college #real tmwwnk fancam i made eurovision gifs this amv is not good but . I'm adding it anyway dipped briefly into emoji making. here's some cas inspired emojis cool for the summer endverse cas fancam that originally very much flopped lol
june.
i moved this month so...rather busy launched my (public) speech bubble career -> @spn-speech-bubbles destiel wallet pics! [dean's wallet] [cas' wallet] destiel webweave but make it an article about brokeback
july.
bubblegum bitch pink trench amv AND 9x09 aescam please watch this jeremy carver gifcam connor and i made i did a full recolor of 15x18 (link is entire ep as gif. if you want to see it, dm me) did some great gatsby fancams (nick, jordan) tfw dynamic uquiz FINALLY got posted, also by connor and me this sherlock monologue but as a destiel webweave...
august.
meet me at the tavern at bowerstone amv (26 second song) connor and i made a casjimmy amv for 1d day baby aescam (no control) amv after this i attempted to bribe the amv server into making a bunch of no control amvs for the "it's not unusual" joke of it all, and made this amv celebrating love on spn as a result
september.
so i disappeared for quite a bit near the end of the month to focus entirely on my dcbb art which also went into the first week of October (art here: 1, 2, 3). took 100+ hours :') posted the accursed blue cas 1 :( publicized my spnwiki transcript searcher . oops 😔
october.
started my cas dress-up-tober endeavors, though it would end up taking me until the end of november to finish. masterpost here why did it take so long? i unintentionally ended up as the server owner of cule jail/turbohell server and it ate both my time and my physical and mental health. posted my "which version of dean are you" quiz connor and i made this destiel/cas amv using a song from the spn musical mine craft gif
november.
see october lol i made friends i also transcribed a bunch of songs on genius dot com :) literally every second of my time was occupied and i'm still recovering
december.
new endverse cas amv (sweet escape) made THIS jughead/jarchie amv with dean got involved in the banned tag fallout which killed my activity page for a few days and was overall an extremely frustrating experience. beans penguin
#new post#hi lmfao#tumblr should have one of those click to reveal things#spn#for those who've blocked it

the karasuno first years and the kind of music i think they listen to...
genre: headcanons | wc: tba | characters: tsukki, yams, kags, and hinata | cw: none | no spoilers!
a/n: i fr NEVER post. that’s my bad guys. take these headcanons i made while i was procrastinating as my apology </3. i have fics and hcs in the making but like,,, school gets in the way. anyways, ily. pls enjoy! hehe >_<.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
TSUKISHIMA KEI -> MALE MANIPULATOR MUSIC
click here for my tsukishima kei male manipulator playlist!
DISCLAIMER: i do not associate him with the manipulative/toxic side of the male-manipulator persona, only the music part.
ex. boys don’t cry by the cure | i won’t share you by the smiths | watching him fade away by mac demarco | c’mere by interpol | it’s only sex by car seat headrest | black madona by cage the elephant | the joke isn’t funny anymore by the smiths
yeah you cannot look me in the eyes and tell me this man is not a music SNOB. like hello???? HE CARRIES HIS HEADPHONES EVERYWHERE.
tsukishima listens to the most ALARMING music a man can listen to and he is proud of it
like,, radiohead? yep. neutral milk hotel? STAPLE.
he likes being on aux
he genuinely thinks his taste is SUPERIOR to everyone else’s
and what can i say? it definitely is...this kind of music is so good bro
and no, this is not me feeding into the fanon toxic tsukki thing
it just truly gives off such *him* vibes???
LIKE TELL ME HE WOULDN’T DO HIS HW WHILE JAMMING OUT TO THE FRONT BOTTOMS!!! THATS RIGHT! YOU CAN’T!
literally idc this is SO canon in my mind
he likes super niche bands as well. it’s his thing.
music is a very important aspect of his life, and this kind just happens to suit him the best.
he def shames people for their taste in music too lol, but justifiably so since his taste is TOP TIER!!!!
“you listen to the radio? interesting...”
i hate him
he’ll put you on GOOD songs
would def dedicate a song by the cure to you
btw, he prefers the cure to the smiths
my little male manipulator vball bf <333
honorable mentions: lofi, folk-rock, whatever yamaguchi decides to play when he’s on aux (he’ll pretend to hate it but he doesn’t), also he definitely stares into the void w/ ricky montgomery playing softly in the background, also!! he had an emo phase so every once in a while he’ll relapse and binge the entirety of MCR’s discography
YAMAGUCHI TADASHI -> BEDROOM POP
ex. daft pretty boys by bad suns | oh klahoma by jack stauber | are you bored yet? by wallows | hot rod by dayglow | oh, honey baby by mustard service | generation why by conan gray | loverboy by a-wall
yams has a very diverse music taste because of tsukki, but i think this is what he gravitates towards the most. he enjoys upbeat tunes w/ depressing lyrics. and ngl i can’t blame him bc..same.
he’s the kind of guy that wouldn’t make fun of ur music taste if it was different from his (unless tsukki is with him)
idk just overall enjoys the way bedroom pop sounds!! he likes indie music and stuff like that :>
fairly proud of his music taste
i feel like he wouldn’t want to have aux though just bc he’s afraid of people judging him????
same yams, same
yeah but he totally has little dance parties in his room to clario
he’ll 100% listen to dayglow to hype himself UP before games
oh baby :((( i love him so much
misc: him and tsukki send each other songs and it’s adorable
KAGEYAMA TOBIO -> RAP?
ex. element. by kendrick lamar | u-rite by they. | idk i don’t listen to rap
okay i literally have NO CLUE what this man would listen to LOL but like,,, rap seems...fitting? after all, he IS a student athlete. as the sister of one, i can say with confidence that this is what most of them listen to.
i really can’t imagine kageyama caring too about what he listens to so i doubt he’d put a lot of thought into his music taste??
idk he’d just listen to popular stuff and vibe tbh
he wouldn’t be partial to any kind of music but this suits him the best i think
actually i take that back! i don’t think he’d willingly listen to songs with a slower tempo UNLESS he was trying to focus
stuff like classical would fs bore him
he’ll just go for whatever makes him feel empowered/hype before a game/workout, as well as whatever’s catchy
i don’t hc him to be a guy who’s super big on music so yk ://
he’ll just put on whatever he’s feeling ig
the type to respond with “oh i just listen to whatever” when asked what kind of songs he enjoys
doesn’t care abt being in aux or not
but like if he’s with hinata/tsukki he’ll want to be just to spite them
tsukki is appalled by kags’ nonchalant attitude when it comes to music
misc: his music taste would be so pitiful guys pls. Help him. HELP THIS POOR MAN!!!!!! he’d probably enjoy whatever music u put him on so long as ur nice abt it.
HINATA SHOYO -> “WHATEVER’S ON THE RADIO”
ex. fr whatever is on the radio/whatever is playing/feel-good music/rap
hinata is also not the kind of guy who is super particular about what he listens to. i think before games he’ll listen to rap/upbeat stuff to get hype (similar to kags), but overall, he’ll just listen to whatever comes on
this terrifies tsukishima. Yeah.
hinata is such a positive person that i feel like he’ll bop his head to anything with a nice beat :]
it just,,, makes sense to me idk
he’ll go on aux fs and play some nice throwback songs tho
whatever you play, he’ll like
i don’t think that he would be opposed to slower stuff tbh
that being said, he def has a playlist called ‘good vibes 🌴🔥’ filled with songs people have recommended to him that he thought were extra-good
he’ll let it play while doing hw
tbh his and kags’ brains r so full of volleyball i doubt they’d think abt trivial things like this haha
misc: in the timeskip, he listens to really calm music he can meditate to

Hi!
10, 14, 21, 34 for the writer's ask 😁
(PS to the previous ask : I hope you are doing well 😊)
Hi Kal!! Hope you’re doing well too! Sorry it took a while to reply, but I’m very grateful for the ask, and these are some very questions you picked! Here are my answers:
Writer Ask Meme
10. Pick an author (or writing friend) to co-write a book with
I don't even have to hesitate with this one. I'd pick @nharidy and we'd either write the most insane, niche thing catered to our specific tastes on every level, OR we'd anonymously write a story based on every trope we hate, just to see how long we can keep up the facade before we implode on ourselves.
14. What does it take for you to be ready to write a book? (i.e. do you research? outline? make a playlist or pinterest board? wing it?)
It really depends on the story in question! Sometimes it requires a bit of research (Ex. cost of dollars to euros, geography, historical timelines, etc.), sometimes a little more, and sometimes I leave those details to fill in later and just wing the whole thing LOL.
Something I always do is choose a font for a particular story, so most of my fics were actually written with different fonts. Sometimes it sets the mood or helps me shift gears in my head. When I can’t think of anything, I just default to comic sans LOL. Otherwise, I’ve used cambria, verdana, etc.
I only do outlines in my head asdfasdf. I only ever did a moodboard once for substitution because that was a project that was very visual to me. I can’t really concentrate when I’m writing while listening to music (unless someone else is playing near me), so oddly enough I have these pseudo-constructed playlists in my head. I’ll listen to a song or two before or after I write for the mood, but never when I write.
So forever thankful to @spiny-norman for creating the Dies Irae playlist! Definitely something I return to from time to time, and it introduced me to a lot of great artists and music! It’s also a million times better than absolute random plethroa of songs I listened to while writing adsfaf
21. What aspect of your writing are you most proud of?
I like to believe that my writing is “visual”? I try to treat everything as a screenplay or storyboard, even if it’s a prose story, so that the image can read as it would on screen.
Besides that, I’m unironically proud of how often I write Andres whump LOL
34. Unpopular writing thoughts/opinions?
Get ready for an insane take! I think writing in chronological order is the best way to write, including all descriptions, dialogue, etc. Of course, I go back and edit it all later (including adding and shifting scenes if need be), but I honestly can’t write out of order. My mind blanks if I do that and I can’t get into the emotion of a particular scene. So for me anyway, it’s best to write everything from start to finish just so I have a clear idea of the story’s timeline and the kind of emotion it needs. I like to feel the same thing as the narrative during the climax, which is why writing in order helps me “nurse” those feelings every step of the way.
I guess another unpopular take is that I think epitaphs are fine. I really don’t mind seeing “the other man, the redhead, etc.” so long as it doesn’t jar the writing flow (Ex. I’ll never refer to Tokyo as “the ravenette thief” or something lmao).
#natures-marvel#writer meme#I highly recommend comic sans#it will make all your docs ugly as sin to look at#BUT the words come so easily with it#a small price to pay

10, 20, 25 for the writer asks? 🥰
thank you for the ask, kasey!!
10: How would you describe your writing process?
if i’m being honest, my writing process is very much like *gets new idea* *impulse writes 1k words* *existential dread* *makes random writing playlist* *scrolls through tumblr for 2 hours* *new idea* *writes 300 words* *imposter syndrome???*
asdfsfsdfs but jokes aside, it all depends on what kind of story i’m writing! for one-shots and other shorter pieces, i usually just dive right in. but for longer pieces and more complex one-shots, i’ll start off with a brief outline, maybe throw in a sentence or two of description for a particular scene/dialogue that i would like to include, etc. once that’s all done, i’ll get to writing! i usually have to have music in the background, and i’ll turn on this app/chrome extension called forest: stay focused (which keeps you from going on certain sites/keeps you from exiting the app on your phone, all the while planting a cute tree/shrub), and write away!
20: Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)u h h h h, i think this is gonna be super niche and i am fully prepared to c r i n g e at this later, but! in terms of eiko from time, wondrous time. i mentioned a bit about how i kinda get super nervous about the idea of introducing an original character, especially,,,a padawan character? (come on caroline, who do you think you are? >:() so a long, long time ago, i had a different original character by a different name, and i treated her terribly (killed her because i was like ‘lol don’t know what to do with her’. you can tell i was influenced by george lucas because ‘lol female character dies because there’s no way she could have a fulfilling purpose now’.i was like 13 pls cut me some slack asdfsdfds i still cringe at everything i wrote from when i was like,,,13-15. i mean, proud of myself for getting super into writing, but. a c k. a c k. some stuff i am hella not proud of. like,,,again. 13 and full of raging hormones and existential angst, but…caroline what. that is all i’ll say). but anyways, i introduced eiko by mentioning she had a dark ponytail–and that was a trait that i had used with this other original character that i made as a 13 year old. then again, 13 year old me was also hecka sad (who wasn’t??), and i think that kinda translated into that character. so…idk. perhaps eiko is a quiet reminder to even myself that maybe,,,growth is a thing? and that maybe,,,we all deserve better in the end?? i’m walking a very thin line here, because i know how difficult it is for people to get invested in original characters, and twt is definitely going to focus on the actual tcw fam and their dynamics with each other, but! lol yeah, some parts of eiko are a callback to what my 2013 writing used to be asdfsdfsd okee that’s allll
25: What part of writing is the most fun?
i think for me it’s writing dialogue? and getting so lost in hearing characters’ voices that for a little while, i feel more like a stenographer than an actual writer. (and that’s a very, very cool feeling.)
from these writer asks
