#but i take my dreams with a grain of salt lmao. had an intense dream last month where my sister died in my arms.

[enuui]

had a dream where i was talking to an old friend who i no longer talk to, and the entire time we spoke it was so horrendously awkward and i kept thinking why are we in this situation right now. we were being so polite and so bland it was horrible

[hwnglx]

can you please do a reading on what enha thinks of jake? tysm. <3

what do enhypen members think about jake? based on tarot, take it with a grain of salt

heeseung

strength, 7ofw, 3ofc, kingofw lovers, 4ofp, queofsw, 4ofsw&10ofc+9ofc

+ wow. heeseung definitely sees jake as someone who has a very strong presence and effect on the people around him. he thinks he's a guy who's very resilient, opinionated and passionate, but also incredibly charming, warm and kind. the type of person you just can't help but like. someone very sociable and easy to get along with, who likes enjoying fun, lighthearted times with his friends, but can also have his moments of intensity. heeseung thinks that his bandmate is the type to feel every emotion very deeply, while still being able to keep a calm demeanor on the outside. someone who's mastered taming those feelings over time.

- well, he thinks that jake is just too flirty for his own good. heeseung thinks he's someone who likes starting these lovey dovey connections to people to fulfill his need for affection, but can also have attachment issues and struggle opening his heart up, as soon as it gets deeper emotionally. like, he'll be prince charming to anyone, but as soon as the topic of conversation gets deeper, he avoids it. he thinks jake is also someone idealistic who dreams a lot about the "perfect" life he wishes he had, but doesn't do much to put those wishes into practice. a very pisces moon thing.

jay

world, 2ofp, star&kingofw queofc&3ofc, 4ofc&3ofsw&8ofsw, empr+9ofw

+ honestly, i got such sweet energy here. jay seems to adore him a lot, like.. he is just really proud of jake. he sees him as a well rounded individual who has a certain kind of duality to him. on the one hand, he can be an incredibly inspiring, bright and radiant guy with an uniquely healing quality. someone who makes you feel comfortable. while on the other hand, he can carry himself in a very confident and charismatic manner and turn heads wherever he goes. he sees him as an attractive guy who really stands out and knows how to charm people.

- similarly to heeseung, jay thinks that jake is someone who enjoys female attention a lot and is too much of a ladies man, but is very avoidant when it comes to his more negative emotions. he recognizes that jake just feels very deeply and can easily feel crushed by the heaviness, which can result in him preferring to surpress those feelings. kinda like an escapist who's scared of his vulnerable and softer side. jay seems to view that sensitivity as something really special, which is why he thinks jake should learn to embrace it more. (also, i kept getting this feeling that jake is very attached to his mother? not sure but she kept popping into my mind during this reading.. hm. wonder why.)

sunghoon

aceofw, fool, 5ofc+5ofsw, devil&star aceofp, 9ofsw, 4ofc, 8ofc, 6ofp

+ sunghoon thinks that jake is someone full of enthusiasm and creativity, who has a childlike and care-free energy to him. he sees him as an agreeable and easygoing guy who's pleasant to be around. it also seems like he sees jake as someone who's pretty self-aware, in a way where he's good at recognizing when he's done a mistake or acted in a toxic manner. sunghoon sees that jake will probably feel quite guilty about it and make an effort to get rid of any bad habits that might stand in the way of him being a decent person.

- again, he also thinks that jake is too avoidant. someone who runs away from his emotions in order to escape the intensity of them. it really seems like sunghoon just thinks that jake can be too dramatic as well. i keep hearing "calm down" lmao. he believes that his bandmate can stand in his own way sometimes, not just personally but also career-wise. he might see him as the type to overthink a mistake he did hundreds of times and really get in his head about it. sunghoon also believes that jake can easily get too generous with the people around him. the kind of person who just doesn't know limits when it comes to giving, whether it's emotionally or materialistically. (to me, sunghoon seems to be one of the members who's good at separating his view of the members with his personal feelings towards them. i often get very clear and objective thoughts for him.)

sunoo

queofsw, kingofw, tower+sun 7ofc&10ofw, 9ofc&wheel, 4ofw+hieroph

+ sunoo thinks that jake is a smart and independent guy who, although being of pretty intense nature, can often prefer detaching himself from others. he also sees him as an attractive person who knows how to utilize his charm on people to get what he wants. in sunoo's eyes, jake also has the unique ability to always see the good in every situation, no matter how chaotic and messy it might seem. kinda like a ray of sunshine during winter season. someone who can make the best out of the worst and bring light to darkness.

- jake is someone whose imagination is too vast for his own good, in sunoo's eyes. he sees him as the type of person who can quickly get overwhelmed by all his dreams and struggle to act on them. "what do i do first? how do i even do it?" type of way. someone who's kinda lazy compared to the amount of things he wishes to achieve. tbh, he seems to think that jake just got lucky to get to the place he's at career-wise. sunoo thinks that he's someone who's too comfortable just sticking to the rules and doesn't like going against the grain a lot.

jungwon

pagofsw&highpr, 4ofw, 5ofc+2ofc 9ofw, 4ofp, aceofsw, 3ofp+sun, 8ofc

+ aw, jungwon also gives me nice energy here. he thinks of jake as someone very intelligent, intuitive and observant, who has a great eye for detail. the type of person to spot and remember the small things others probably wouldn't. he also sees him as someone he enjoys a stable friendship with, a fun loving member he feels very comfortable around. the leader thinks that jake is someone who's very emotionally connected to the people he's close to. a kind person who can easily feel guilty if he does his loved ones wrong, and leads his relationships with a lot of compassion and understanding.

- similarly to the rest, i'm spotting a common thread here, he sees jake as an escapist who's too scared of feeling too much and making himself vulnerable. he thinks he might have some trust issues and therefore can prefer to keep personal things to himself. jungwon also views him as someone who has so much going on in his head, that he can get easily get too confused and struggle to keep focused sometimes. he sees jake as someone who can be too avoidant of conflict when it comes to work as well. the type that'll constantly just see the good in everyone, just because he doesn't wanna deal with the negativity that'd come with anything else.

niki

knofc, aceofw, kingofp, char, 8ofw 2ofp, 10ofw, aceofsw, 5ofc, 8ofc

+ niki thinks that jake is a true romantic at heart. someone who's very charming, gentle, in tune with his emotions, but also very passionate and enthusiastic. he sees him as a driven and strong character who's not only good at his work, but also a great communicator. someone who's very smooth with words, the type of person you can have many pleasant conversations with. i really feel like these two must talk a lot off camera, like i'm getting pretty nice vibes from them. good friends who understand each other and click pretty well.

- again, eight of cups coming out.. like damn, jake must really struggle finding fulfillment in things sometimes. :( niki sees him as a person who's very emotional and more introverted than what meets the eye, and can have problems dealing with the more material and practical world because of that. he easily finds burden in too many things going on at once, since his head is already working full-time. so, niki is aware that external influences can be an added weight to carry for jake. he thinks that jake can quickly blame himself for habits like this, rather than staying objective.

the cards that came out the most were king of wands, eight of cups and five of cups.

so bottom line, most of enha view jake as someone who appears to be passionate, confident and strong to the outside, but is very emotional and introspective behind the scenes. the type of person that can easily get overwhelmed by that sensitive nature of his and therefore prefers hiding it behind a more self-assured mask.

Super specific placements astro notes/rants

Usual disclaimer: take this with a grain of salt and only what resonates.

You can look at Chiron and the planets it touches to see conflicts/trauma regarding family remembers or people in general

Sun - father, masculine figures

Moon - mother, feminine figures

Mercury - siblings/cousins (not sure with this one)

Venus - feminine figures.

I want to elaborate on this one. I personally don't like assigning gender to placements, but energies. Feminine and masculine don't directly point to gender, only behavioural characteristics.

Mars - masculine figures

Jupiter - masculine/mentor figures

Saturn - authority figures (you may also look at the midheaven for this one, although its meaning is a little distorted)

That moment when you even hint at mercury-uranus, mercury-saturn, mercury-mc, mercury in the 1H/3H/6H/7H/9H/10H/11H that they are stupid 😀🔪 I am calling myself out with this one.

Mercury-uranus makes someone's intellect their pride, what makes them stand out. Mercury-saturn go through a lot of wrestling with how intelligent they are.

Mercury-mc suggests that they are known for their smarts, and they are truly pragmatic(they look up to intelligence as well).

Mercury in the 1st house makes intellect part of their core identity, meanwhile mercury in the 3rd is in its home, how can you insult something in its more comfortable place?

Mercury in the 6th may doubt their intelligence a lot, despite how logical they most likely are in their day to day life.

Mercury in the 7th brings rationality in their relationships, and its also something they are recognized for.

Mercury in the 9th, I have this one, really ties intellect to personal beliefs. Insulting their brains is like Insulting what they believe in.

Mercury in the 10th, just like mercury-mc. And mercury in the 11th house is also probably thought of as rational as well. Their friends know it, their community knows it.

Trines are lazy. These aspects give so much potential but it's so easy to lose focus with them, this is why I prefer sextiles over trines.

Your 12th house represents your dreams. Whatever you have on your 12th house can point to how your dreams are.

F.e I have moon in the 12th. My dreams tend to include lots of feminine figures and emotions. I also have capricorn on my 12th house, so routine and constant reminders of my responsibilities keep popping up

Scorpio on the 12th house may have nightmares often

Gemini/Sagittarius on rhe 12th may have very bizzare dreams.

Libra on the 12th may dream a lot about relationships

We tend to turn towards the opposite house we have our Chiron in.

9th house? The person may turn towards facts, logic and education (3rd house) to make up for their wounded beliefs (others may have said they're too drastic or simply stupid, or religious trauma etc)

1st house? We tend to turn to others (7th house)

4th house Chiron can indulge too much in their career or public image(10th house)

Not much of an astro note but, any other Libra venus in the 8th house here? I swear I could have been such a flirt if I had it in the 7th house or 9th, LMAO. 8th house venus kind of hides the venus sign's traits. Only when you get to know me I truly display the Libra qualities. Until then I am like :|

Also, talking about libra venus, I saw it get a lot of hate in the community despite it being one of the best venus placements objectively.

If anyone here has Virgo sun in the 7th, please focus more on yourself and less on what others think. It is indeed a quality to be considerate, but you also have to not lose yourself

The ascendnat doesn't only represent looks amd first impressions, but also your identity and self. I don't think ascendant aspects in synastry get a lot of credit, being shunned as superficial and simply physical attraction. I believe they are the representation of how the people involved see each other and shape their identity, what sides they bring out of each other.

I think that the best compability is shown by asteroid Juno. If someone has major or prominent sign placements as your juno sign, then you are most likely a good match (especially if it's mutual)

Mars in pisces may be passive, but don't confuse that with weakness. I noticed that most of the time these people tend to brush off or try to forget conflict, which in the end can actually be beneficial (most of the time, there are moments when confrontation is needed). While some may describe them as fickle, when developed they can be very resillient ngl.

You don't relate to the physical descriptions of your ascendant? That's totally fine! There can he multiple reasons for this, first one being that astrology cannot determine how we look, genetics do that, and second you should look at your ascendant aspects and other planets you have in the 1st house.

I have aquarius rising. Most descriptions say thay we're tall, meanwhile I'm here at 5'2, buuut I also have neptune in the 1st and ascendant conjunct chiron. I don't mean to discredit people who do these descriptions, they're actually accurate! My friend also has an aquarius rising and Uranus in the 1st and they look exactly like that--

I personally love the 5th house in astrology. Mine is empty but I've met some people with stelliums in it and my god they're so fun to be around!

5th house stelliums are naturally focused on hobbies, fun activities, children and the self (not necessarily inna selfsih way lmao). They are most likely very artistic and knowledgeable in their interests.

Many squares to the midheaven can point towards difficulty in reaching dreams, but also lots lots of potential. I've read somewhere that squares are blessings in disguise, so people with an extremely squared mc will have to go through a lot but it will definitely be worth it in the end.

Not much of a note again but I have an empty 10th house but a lot of focus on the 9th and 11th house. If anyone has these as well, are you career/project oriented but very little interested in the public eye?

If you really want to get into astrology, I recommend checking out your vedic chart. You get introduced to a bunch of new aspects and systems, but in the end I personally found the analysis I got very accurate. (You can check out @meandmypeace their blog is very insightful!)

Taurus risings are really down to earth, but I noticed they tend to space out a lot

Oh, you have a Leo venus? Let me tell you how cool you are. My bestie has this placement and my god they're one of the best people to offer comfort and affection. Their way of displaying it is very cute but also rather intense. It makes my libra venus go <3 they love attention and praise but they deserve it too lmao- when healthy they really care for the people close to them and are truly protective of them. Also side note, they may or may not pride themselves in the relationships they have

And that's it. Thanks for reading!

tumblr user buildmartenjoyer did you hear dream's latest build mart rant made it onto reddit

I did hear! I read the transcript earlier as well to see more than just the random screenshots people like to vague lmao

Obviously I, Tumblr user buildmartenjoyer, quite like Build Mart! I think it gets a somewhat underserved amount of hate that has little to do with the game itself. That does not mean I think it is a perfect game. If multiple people have multiple complaints over multiple events about a specific game, then yeah there's probably an issue somewhere! Doesn't mean the game is bad and irredeemable and awful and needs to be removed or even retired.

Also whoops I rambled! Below the cut for general musings on Dream's recent Build Mart comments. This is not cc!Dream critical or neg, btw, most of my rambling is me considering his points from the pov of someone who really loves Build Mart and enjoys watching it. 

Man I wanna pick the green man's brain on MCC so bad like!! I don't think Build Mart is a bad game- in fact I think it's like A Tier- and I disagree with a lot of what Dream says about mcc in general, but he also makes good points! Like he's right- if you play 100 games of Build Mart of, let's say, orange 17 and cyan 17, orange is going to win 100/100 games, whereas with games like Sky Battle or Parkour Tag, for example, there's going to be more of a split, because the games have "pop off" potential as he says. See Grian being #1 individual in Sky Battle in 17 with one (1) tnt and good survival points. Personally, I think this is a fair point because part of the fun and charm of MCC is that it isn't set in stone and you don't know who the winner's going to be half way through the event like with twitch rivals or mcm.

In that specific post, Dream's main issue he describes is him struggling with memory and knowing what blocks he needs. Fair enough! The game stresses communication and memorization more than any other skill, and struggling with those is going to hurt your performance and how much fun you have. But imo there are in game strategies you could implement to help. And obviously I say all this as someone who has never Played BM/MCC in general so grain of salt lol.

If he's good at placing blocks but not collecting them, then have the team split into pairs- two builders taking a build each and two runners working with a builder each. Dream stays at the build and tells his runner what blocks to bring him, then Dream can build while the runner goes to work on the 3rd build, for example. Then maybe rush gold builds? Like if the issue is physically getting the blocks, then work with your team to get someone else to do it. For the first set of builds when no one has blocks, have one builder get wood and the other stone, while the runners work on the specific blocks for their pair's build, maybe, so no one's sitting around waiting. Like I feel like there's options, you know?

I also think that most of the problems with Build Mart comes from the fact it's the only "building" game. If you like pvp you can vote for Sky Battle or Battle Box or Survival Games, all of which are pvp games that test differing skills and have distinct strategies- you don't need to bridge in SG, for example. But if you want a building game you have BM and only BM, and it's barely a building game at that. Adding another option- I like the battle box inspired idea- would lessen BM's dominance, because non pvp teams almost always want BM and want it late, giving another option will shake up the meta here and expose the underlying issues with BM.

Also I feel like the thing people get most pressed about is when Dream brings up Grian? I think it's usually a fine comparison because they have very different preferred games and play styles while having similar amounts of experience, and Grian is the largest of the non dsmp streamers. Grian is one of the best Build Mart players and hates Parkour Warrior and says he won't play if it comes back; Dream was one of the best Parkour Warrior players and hates Build Mart and says he won't play if he knows it's going to be played. The difference comes up in specific contexts- when Dream said Grian could hate pkw but he can't say anything about bm because people get mad at him, for example, that was meh to me because yeah you have a point about how people attack you over everything but did you have to pick the one person who had an actual panic attack playing the game? In this specific post, Grian has indeed killed Dream in pvp before, but it's never been 1v1 when both are prepared for it and at full health lol. The closest you get to that is the original Dreamslayer moment in MCC9, but even then Dream was healing from a previous fight and Grian got the drop on him. Dream will kill Grian 99/100 times.

Dream was being pretty sarcastic with his comments on not needing to communicate in BM, and yeah Pete was being quiet but that's because he was listening to what Grian was saying lol. With Grian's BM strategy, the CEO is loud and in charge and constantly talking, the builders only speak up when they need something or have a gold build, and the floater is constantly talking to the CEO. Dream saying Pete wasn't talking much is true, because he was one of the silent roles! But he was still communicating- if he hadn't told Grian about the gold build or asked what was behind the duck build or told Grian to get more glass then they wouldn't have done as well. I also think it's interesting he chose Pete's pov to watch, because it seems to me he's looking at BM strategies and trying to find some that'll work for him? He can't be CEO or floater because those both rely on knowing what blocks everyone needs, so him watching one of the builders makes sense to me.

Most of my issues with how people (Dream included) talk about BM is when they're flat out wrong or subjective lol. Build Mart is not a slow game, you're just watching someone who doesn't know what they're doing. It's not a boring game, you're just watching a team that gives up before the game even starts. I feel the same intense excitement and stress about BM as I do about SG and SoT! Watching Grian play is intense and exciting and edge of the seat! People have a lot of misconceptions about BM, which I rambled about in the tags of this post here, which I still stand by. The tl;dr of my thoughts on what makes a good Build Mart player is that Grian is not good at BM because he's a good builder- he makes mistakes constantly in BM- but rather because he can communicate with his team so effectively it doesn't matter if he spends 30 seconds looking for a crafting recipe or collecting the wrong block.

So there are my thoughts anon! I’m not sure what you were expecting, because I like both Grian and Dream and think they both make very good points about MCC and game design in general (considering they both have experience running mc servers lol) and they tend to have very different opinions and experiences, so comparing them is interesting to me! I don’t necessarily agree with Dream’s points about MCC in general (the only people whose views I tend to wholesale support are H and Pete lmao) but Dream is allowed to dislike a game based on his personal opinions and feelings and he is allowed to rant about it in his own merch discord. Doesn’t mean he’s wrong or right, or that you have to agree or disagree.

Hogwarts sorting

A lot of people have been doing hogwarts houses for the kids so,,, why not. Take this with a grain of salt because I only actually got up to like,, halfway through the fifth book before leaving it in my locker at school and forgetting about it oops but I still have the familiarity with the universe that comes from growing up in a media environment saturated with it so

without further ado

Luther: Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and go with the general consensus of Gryffindor. The house of the brave, loyal, courageous, adventurous, daring, and chivalrous. Because one of Luther’s core traits is that he’s loyal to his father, but also as the ‘leader’ he’s been groomed to be brave and courageous etc. etc. But what sparks me as Gryffindor the most is actually something not explicitly shown at all - that sense of adventure. 

Luther chose the hero name ‘spaceboy’ despite that having nothing to do with his powers. So what that says to me is that once upon a time Luther was a little kid who probably wanted very much to be an astronaut, who looked up at the moon and said ‘one day i’m going to go up there’. That sense of childish adventurousness and daring. I think in his own way Reginald felt badly about you know, fucking Luther up entirely, and sending him to the moon was indeed a way to get him out of the way but also an apology and a fulfillment of a childhood dream. I still hate Reginald, he can go fuck himself, but characters are allowed to be complex I guess.

End result: Gryffindor

Diego: I actually want to put him in Gryffindor. I know a lot of people put him in Hufflepuff, and while I think that also fits I think he’s probably closer to Gryffindor. Because there’s that righteousness and idea of doing what is right no matter what. Diego is a vigilante as his job. I think the reason he got kicked out of the police academy is that it’s difficult for him to sit back and wait for justice to be served, and it’s absolute agony to let someone go free when he knows they’re guilty because they don’t have the evidence.

He’s impulsive and daring. He literally investigates a crimescene right under the nose of his ex who is a member of the police. He’s clearly a regular as the other cops recognize him and are familiar with him. He doesn’t let little things like the rules or laws get in the way of him trying to do what he thinks of as right.

Plus, you know, I feel like it would give him and Luther even more of an excuse to be competitive tbh. 

End result: Gryffindor, borderline Hufflepuff

Allison: Slytherin without question tbh. Allison is no doubt ambitious, she leaves home and immediately starts climbing the social ladder by becoming an actress and celebrity. She doesn’t care about other people’s autonomy and is willing to lie and manipulate to get what she wants, she’s resourceful in that she didn’t even hesitate the tools at her disposal - aka, her powers. It’s a bad combo and she ends up rumoring her way through her life until it collapses around her.

She’s prideful. She doesn’t like accepting help and advice, just look at the scene between her and Vanya towards the beginning where Allison feels vulnerable after having her rocky relationship with Patrick eavesdropped upon and she lashes out. She’s resourceful, she doesn’t even hesitate to use her fame to manipulate that deputy or whatever into helping her. 

Allison is a Slytherin and she’s a damn good one tbh.

End result: Slytherin

Klaus: Hmm this is actually a difficult one. I actually want to put him in Slytherin, because despite everything he is actually an incredibly resourceful and in his own way an ambitious individual. Of course, that ambition is to drown out his own power and obtain drugs and alcohol but hey I can’t judge that knowing how fucked up it makes him.

Klaus was shown at thirteen as already doing drugs, rolling a joint under the table. Audacious, honestly. But that means that he knows how to get around the rules and exit the house and obtain funds and meet his dealer before getting back into the house. He’s clearly crafty enough to get what he wants. 

He’s resourceful, often insightful, determined, and has concrete goals that he puts a good amount of effort into achieving. He doesn’t especially seem to like hard work and spends a lot of time looking for shortcuts, which honestly is pretty Slytherin of him tbh. So yeah, I’m gonna put Klaus in Slytherin.

End result: Slytherin

Five: okay I am genuinely stuck with Five because honestly I could see him in multiple houses tbh. I mean, not really Gryffindor, but any of the others. I almost want to say Hufflepuff because honestly?? His loyalty to his family is one of his core character points and they got him through the apocalypse, this is a character unafraid of hard work and toil. But honestly?? He’d terrify the hufflepuffs. Traumatize them. He’s way too intense for such a generally laid back house. It would be absolutely hilarious tbh

And while I also think Ravenclaw would be a good fit because he’s hungry for knowledge,, I actually have to go with Slytherin. He’s cunning, resourceful, and ambitious as all hell. It’s not enough for him to save his family, which could be accomplished simply by obtaining a suitcase and then time travelling elsewhere with them, he’s got to stop the entire ass apocalypse. He managed to survive like, forty years in the apocalypse for crying out loud. This boy is resourceful as all hell and survived on pure spite and determination.

And honestly?? He’s very ‘the ends justify the means’ in his philosophy. He’s willing to kill people he doesn’t even know (see: the scene in his room with Luther) in order to achieve his goal (protecting his family/stopping the apocalypse). 

End result: Slytherin, borderline Ravenclaw (and Hufflepuff)

Ben: oof I’m torn between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff but at the end of the day I’m going to say Hufflepuff just because his loyalty to Klaus is unquestionable. Ben appears to be capable of leaving Klaus’s side, but chooses to spend his time with his brother even though Klaus disappoints and frustrates him in equal measures.

Hard work, dedication, loyalty, and patience? Ben has to have those traits in spades if he’s willing to work with Klaus for so long tbh. Not to mention that it’s implied he was close to Five as a kid (the second name Five calls out for in the apocalypse) and honestly Five as a kid would have also been an exercise in patience oof. I love Five, I really do, but sometimes brothers can be frustrating.

I know Ravenclaw is a strong contender but,,, honestly I like Hufflepuff for him. Plus I’m a sucker of Slytherin/Hufflepuff friendships and if Klaus is slytherin then that matches up nicely lmao. Ben probably sneaks Klaus into the kitchens.

End result: Hufflepuff, borderline Ravenclaw

Vanya: Vanya gets Ravenclaw because I say so but also because she’s clearly very dedicated in the pursuit of her passions. She mastered the violin while being drugged to the point where she couldn’t feel any strong emotion, which means she was so passionate about the violin that at least something trickled down and damn that’s some for real dedication. She studied and practiced music in like, every flashback okay

She’s intelligent and self-sufficient, she’s the only sibling that actually made and built a solid life for herself with her own two hands. Yeah, not an especially fulfilling life, but she held down a job. TWO jobs with tutoring. She had her own apartment that wasn’t the boiler room of a gym. She had at least some amount of therapy, even if she quit. And presumably she learned how to do adult all on her own.

Not to mention she was a teacher!! She taught kids violin! Just Vanya gets to be a Ravenclaw because I say so and I love her

End result: Ravenclaw

a very biased review of “revolver”

hello! my name is dream. i have a lot of opinions and today im gonna review the album revolver by the beatles

*this review is VERY opinionated. all of these songs are amazing and much better than anything i will ever make. take this review with a grain of salt, as i am not a musical expert nor am i smart. i just like being a bitch

and without further ado,

Taxman: 7/10

- Fun and interesting percussions sounds

- Not a huge fan of the harmonies

- AMAZING guitar from george, big love

- slightly repetitive chorus

- cant say much on this one its not my favorite song but it has a thumbs up from me

Eleanor Rigby; 9/10

- BEAUTIFUL orchestra, i have a soft spot for violins

- Amazing lyrics,, the really make you think and get emotional

- great vocals from paul, we stan heavily appreciate

- quite a short song, i wish there was more. the story i still conveyed through the time but its only 2 minutes

- a hard bop, its popular for a good reason

Im Only Sleeping: 8/10

- Johns voice sounds kind of weird in this song ngl but i love it,, it works

- HI I LOVE THE LYRICS AND tHe CHORUS HARMONIES

- sometimes youll hear random twanges on the guitar and thats some GROOVY SHIT YALL

- i love the fake out ending and the true ending of the song, especially that sharp note john hits like i just fall apart,, and the distorted guitar MM

Love You To: 6/10

- not a huge sitar fan especially since it drags on in the beginning

- george harrison sings this one and its choice

- at the chorus the instruments can get so intense that you cant hear the lyrics clearly at some points

- that being said this instrumental is HOT AS FUCK, especially when theres sitar, bongos and electric guitar,, its sick as fuck

- the lyrics are kind of weak and george’s singing is a bit bland especially since i know he can HIT some notes and sound good

- this sort of just sounds like sitar eargsmic shit for george

- the tempo change towards the end is a lil funky at first but it works

Here, There and Everywhere: 9/10

- i love the lullaby sound of this song

- pauls vocals are doing it for me

- these lyrics are really cute its so nice

- the snapping is sort of weird and sometimes blips in and out but its still a nice touch

- i just,,, it makes me sob

Yellow Submarine: 5/10

- this song is overhyped

- i love ringo’s vocals and i dont think anyone else couldve done this song as well as he did, but that being said, i still dont like this song as much

- i love the drums, theyre lovely, as they always are

- the random sound effects fuck me up. the weird bells and clinking and just. ??? sounds. like a telephone and random screams ?

- the chorus is nice, even though its repetive

- at a random point in the song, somEboDy screams “HOT POTATO” and that really takes me out of the mood

- when ringo is singing someone is just SCREAMING THE LYRICS right after he does at a certain point

- this song had potential to be amazing but certain parts really fuck with it

She Said She Said: 6/10

- i like the instrumentals but theres a strange, loud bell song in the right headphone that really hurts me while i listen

- i like the lyrics. theyre good

- more vocals from john, we always love that

- certain parts can be a bit w a c k y but in general its a good song. not much to say on it

Doctor Robert; 6/10

- ngl when i first heard this song i skipped it

- johns voice is nice but sometimes it goes up weirdly and is,,, mm not great

Got To Get You Into My Life: 7/10

- i feel like someone had a whole gallon of pot before they decided to mix this song
