Love that after Nihil eats the forever weed brownie after getting dumped, he trips balls and briefly imagines the world of 1984 by George Orwell. Like,
look me in my eyes and tell me that the tower with the giant fucking eye doesn’t radiate “big brother is always watching” vibes.
#it also looks like the eye of Sauron from lotr#but considering the context of the song#and the time period when Nihil wrote it#the whole dystopian nightmare scene is 100% a 1984 reference#also the retro futurism???#I love the scooby doo shenanigans so much#but I really hope this is the end of the Nihil lore#because as much as he’s grown on me I want more lore on the other papas and copia#like how old are all the papas really?#because if Nihil is 80 there’s no way Primo is 89 at retirement.#please Tobias#I beg of you to iron out the lore#the inconsistencies are killing me#ghost bc#the band ghost#shitghosting#papa nihil

“The flames keep on beckoning, but I won’t let this forest burn for me.”
The Forest For The Trees will not leave my brain I adore both the song and music video so very much. I want to make for art for it once July has passed since I’m a bit more focused on Artfight at the moment, but for now here’s what I suppose would be ‘sonas’ for this song.
Anyways. Love this song it’s already become very personal and important to me, and I have so many thoughts about the meanings, as well as the specific symbolism for these designs, but I do not feel the need to articulate them right now. Perhaps I will at another point
#I originally planned to give current/green Gibb flaming wings#along with having red butterflies flutter around said wings#considering what red butterflies imply throughout my artwork and the forest fire metaphors#More of a iykyk fun fact but some may find it interesting#[excluded simply because I couldn’t get them to look right within the context of the entire piece)#new jash#chonny jash#chonny jash fanart#the forest for the trees#chonny jash the forest for the trees#cj the forest for the trees#cj tfftt#itsnotjustgibberish#the anarchy anthology#cringle jimble from my songs#Gibberish ocs#gibberish persona

Sometimes I feel like people don’t listen to lyrics at all because if I hear one more person tell me Wasteland, Baby! (the song) is specifically heteromantic I’m gonna lose my goddamn mind
#hozier#wasteland baby#like. i know EXACTLY what lyrics they always reference#but have you considered there’s?? more lyrics after *that*?????#and you’re only saying those like two lines out of context of the rest of the song?????????

"I'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come" -> "you don't get to tell me about sad" is an.. interesting progression
#of course we don't know the context but it seems an odd line to deliberately highlight without context#it feels quite jarring considering the depiction of sadness throughout her past several albums#it brings to mind renegade although that did have the overall message of 'i will stay and hold out my hand when you are in pieces'#whereas this is not a likeable line to me i guess?#not that she has to always be likeable in her songs of course but still just a strange one to highlight i feel#talking#taylor swift

I get so emotional that the transition between Get in the Water and Six Hundred Strike is a fade out followed by Odysseus's motif
#by far this was his best Lock In moment#i also immensely enjoy how his pent up rage just built up and poured onto the first threat he senses#poseidon isn't to blame for everything that happened to odysseus. just most of them.#and yet like a cornered animal odysseus lashes out at him#i was not oriented that during Dangerous i should have paid close attention to “EVERY skill EVERY trick in my domain for this”#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#the electric guitar just ups it an ante actually#the same motif literally played on acoustic guitar at the end of Charybdis#but in context and considering the epic non mortals association with electric/more modern instruments#that part of the song was Odysseus's monstrosity coming through

Due to popular demand (= @armandjolras told me to, it's her fault) I am posting my um. creation from last night. publically...........
DISCLAIMER: this isnt a serious historical assertion, ww1 and esp Germany's conduct in it was really bad and it's probably problematic in 80 diff ways to say that This is the reason it started KWLDPKDLFKFL. To me its fumny though 😭😭
#i know theres discourse abt people applying this song to mlm ships and i get it but consider: 1) i'm gay i can do what i want 2) its#objectively REALLY funny in this context 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂#anyway yeah i feel like i've committed a war crime#xD#meme

Today I, an aromantic, was getting ready to attend a wedding… with Stranger on repeat.
#the mechanisms#stranger#ttbt2#i knew what i was doing when i put it on but also i am working on an addtion to my brian-jonny foils post so i was thinking about brian#its always sad brian hours#i cant really read that song separate from him anymore. honestly not sure i ever could but. its just so unconnected from anything else.-#actaea and lyssa is pretty disconnected. but its still almost certainly on the city. alice is pretty disconnected but its a result of-#king cole’s war. the most disconnected songs are redeath. the ignominious demise of dr pilchard. drop dead. hereward the wake. and stranger-#(and frankenstein but i consider that its own thing). and redeath and drop dead are my least favorite mechs songs.dr pilchard i didnt-#really care for for quite a while. stranger has so few words in it. it’s my favorite song. but the story is minimal fron the song (ie w/o-#knowing the crane wife story) so making a story around it sort of makes sense? im having a hard time with the words here. like we expect a-#story. cause that’s what the mechs do. and stranger has a story. it just doesnt have context and so creatong that context for ourselves is-#understandable. to be expected even. hope that makes sense#side note: i think it would make sense for hereward to have been from the same place (system I guess) as the people that made-#fort galfridian. i mean hereward was more of a real person than arthur (since there was no one person arthur was based on. like thats a-#whole thing) and hereward was anglo-dutch. so it makes sense hed be related to that story somehow#its just a theory. obviously. theres nothing in the songs connecting the too as far as im aware.#OH also achilles pointed out to me the anti-amatonormative/aromantic reading of stranger and i liked that a lot#hereward was anglo-danish. not anglo-dutch. sorry danish and dutch people

Come see LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS @guthrietheater featuring @actually_will_roland's hand!"
#buzz lightyear screenshot i don't believe that's a puppet Or will roland's hand#lsoh#frog & toad shirt yay :) that i believe is saying ''frog & toad are gay'' yahoooo#in unfamiliarity with lsoh: had to look up that snippet of song. i do enjoy the full Songs i should straightup....pick an album of them?#which; relevantly to this being a show with Versions. also like i've only seen the movie once a minute ago....#i know the movie Differed like the musical going well audrey dies then so also does seymour :( does one tragicomically lose a hand first#classic Hey My Hand :( maneuver :( still i reflect on the change like i don't want them to die.... :(#it's Enriching though to reflect on. like a fun balance of ''is there shortcomings of Metaphors? maybe but it's backed up by Story''#then are there shortcomings of story? maybe but it's backed up by how that'll play into a strength of metaphor. makes it Overall Enjoyable#and that i'm not an expert like plenty to muse on re: what are the Metaphors. and then how are they executed. what do i think#and i'm enrichingly not quite settled on Should They Get To Survive; Metaphorically? like i think it's fine either way#i mean we also Have it both ways lol. i think? i don't know about past or present variations versions iterations re: Onstage Medium#it's like it's supposed to be tragic too right right cautionarily so. yet. i indeed go :( about it. i think it's fine it's fine....#or do i. as you can see lmao a fun In Progress mental journey....like pointing to Doomed Tragic Couple iphegenia crash land falls#i would Not change it i would not Want it changed. not even for a what if; really. yet their basis is Knowing They're Kindredly Doomed.....#seymour and audrey are just america's little t4t couple who Do deserve to murder orin plant or no & More :(#much to consider. and always little Invocations to spice things up like & this plant won't stop trying to fuck them i guess#nodding thoughtfully as we are also amidst aesthetics that invoke larger contexts re: race; class; maybe even. gender. and more????#love a lot going on. love that it's really not trying to Be extremely settled in some Conclusive manner in any version. tends to be a win#and love that SPIT TAKE rick moranis walking on into the closing performance of be more chill on broadway???????#enjoy that one post of [god's mistake of making me so incredibly attracted to rick moranis] '80s gum stickers. ricky m#guy who's never seen kapow-i gogo seeing another show with a prop hand: wow this is just like kapow-i gogo

When miss Swift gets criticism from a public figure and swifties show up in the twitter replies going “oh yeah, what about this??” And just post an out of context lyric about being sad 😭😭 As someone who likes artists with some truly dogshit lyrics let me be the first to tell you this argument doesn’t mean shit to anyone
#posting lyrics without the melodic context is the lowest form of defense for anyone’s artistry btw#my pretentious music opinion as that lyrics always have to be considered as part of a whole song and pulling out stray lines of eloquence#is meaningless#with any artist!! but especially miss Swift where half her lyrics are meaningful BECAUSE of their context!!#old man yells at cloud

hi hella do you have thoughts on the tiktokification of ethel cain (given her leaving social medias) anyway sorry if you dont i just love the way you think xx
i think a very simplified explanation of what tiktok does to music and why it fundamentally always Grates on me is that people on tiktok cannot just listen to a song. it's no longer enough to enjoy a song or an artist. you're not a 'true fan' if you just simply listen to the music and find any level of enjoyment from it. you have to instead know every single lyric, and every meaning of that lyric, and then when that isn't enough because the masses are now also doing that, you then need to know what the artist's thought process was for the lyrics, where they were when they wrote it, exactly what they mean by it. interpretation is no longer allowed because the 'true fans' correct you with what the artist said in a niche interview from 2019 and 'if you really liked the song you would know that'. it doesnt matter what the song means to YOU because it now needs to be consumed in the Exact Way Tiktok Says It Should Be. and then of course it all becomes narrower and narrower and all the while the fans are TEARING the artists apart in an attempt to be the one individual listening to them most often and most correctly and with the most thorough understanding, and the artist is just. some guy. like literally just a person behind a screen reading every stupid as fuck thing and seeing the same stupid as fuck comments over and over and over again and it's like yeah. that would drive me fucking insane too actually
#there is no correct way of consuming media. like this need to be special and the snobbery it creates is something even ive been guilty of#like i will say ive only ever joked about it (like i made a post a while ago about tiktokers not realising gibson girl#was about drugs and prostitution) but i cant think of a time ive ever been ACTUALLY pissed about it#and that was more me being annoyed the tiktok crowd had got ethel cain anyway like IN GENERAL lol#but people on tiktok are actually IN that mindset. like they truly believe there's a correct way to listen to music#and they WILL police you on it if you dont adhere to that and they NEED it to be memeable so they can feel like they have inside jokes#with the artist despite them being a fucking stranger and it's WEIRD and more than anything it's fucking ANNOYING#and at the end of the day someone who listens to gibson girl bc it hypes them up and they have no idea about the lyric meaning#or its context in the rest of the album or in fact who ethel cain even is#are doing just as much justice to the art as people who listen to every single song religiously and know every single meaning#ultimately music is created to make people feel things. art is created to make people feel things#if you felt something listening to it then great. that is literally the only requirement needed. you dont need the artist's social security#number and worst traumatic experience in order to be considered thee fan of all time#ask

Sam Smith is so cunt. Great Gerwig said "hey babe I need you to write a song about ken taking over barbieland" and they went "oh cool so a club banger about gay sex I can do that"
#considering i heard the song before seeing the film i was like damn what is the context for this#and then it was patriarchy???#sam smith was like well if i was left alone with a bunch of kens in barbieland we'd all just have gay sex#and they were so valid for that#barbie#barbie spoilers#sam smith

#( 'cause you're a sky full of stars ⋆。°✩ ) music#((HOW DO I TAG AS A TW FOR THE WORD ''WHORE''? I don't mind it but I know plenty of people do regardless of context.))#( the stars the moon they have all been blown out ⋆。°✩ ) skills#((Okay but I could see Cass doing a song like this that's basically a big ''Fuck You'' reclamation of the word#Because you *know* that not only do female artists get called shit like this all the time#but a female guitarist / singer / etc in an otherwise all male band?#Especially considering she doesn't mind showing a bit of skin on stage (not because she's sexualizing herself#though there's no problem with that either- she just does it because she likes the vibes and it's cooler than always covering up)?#At least she's usually good at handling that kind of criticism because she knows that it's coming from a place of blatant sexism.#ANYWAY- Yeah. I feel like a lot of In This Moment stuff has similar vibes to stuff Cass would sing as a vocalist.#Not always lyrically but in the overall sound of it.))
