oh cavetown offline songs how you give me hope and sanity

lyric of the day ˚♫⋆｡˚

"there's not much time to spare we're slowly sinking six feet underground but i am staying right here because i'm happiest with you around"

unpopular boy makes a friend cavetown

[trixiesye]

my sour boy is a pain i wanna shoot him in the brain but i'd miss him in the morning

[hunterswings]

If you think these two songs are the same B-B-B-BLOCKED!

Long rant:

I promise I'm trying is like when everyone is expecting too much from you and you're trying your best but can't do it. You're trying to convince them you're trying your best but they expect more from you and now you feel bad but you have that one friend who actually cares.

Trying sounds like he's comforting a friend or partner who thinks like the first one. He's trying to tell them to calm down and he doesn't expect them to do any more than they can because he understands what it's like to be pressured with high expectations.

Sometimes I like to think he's comforting his past self with the newer cover. I like it and it's just so perfect. It's also the same way with dysphoric and how he made a cover of that a while ago. If you don't know about that, search dysphoric cavetown on tiktok.

I just really like how he covers his older songs, it's such an "it will get better" vibe.

It comforts me so much.

Literally listening to Rain by cavetown offline while it’s raining. Coincidence? I think not.

[ineffablehusbandsislife]

you know you’re deep in the cavetown obsession when you listen to both cavetown’s main title and cavetown offline 🙈

Katsuki Bakugou x Reader "Still love you the same"

Tw: implied domestic abuse with comfort ofc

Pro hero AU

It was a rainy day and you and Katsuki both had the day off. Katsuki's presence alone normally soothes your mind, but today the universe has other plans. You hadn't meant for him to see it, you had just wanted to get a book from the shelf, and your shirt lifted up just enough to be able to see the scar. A shitty reminder of being hurt by someone you loved and trusted. You froze, feeling his gaze on your back. Katsuki stepped closer, his expression unreadable. You felt your body wanted to run, not out of fear or shame but because you didn't want any pity he had to give. "Are there anymore? You never told me about this " he asks softly but yet you could still feel the emotions in his words. You felt his hands hovering over the scars, the warmth of his hands radiating onto your skin. "Who did this?" He asks his voice firm and is still calm when he does. "It doesn't matter it was a long time ago Katsu" His gaze softens but doesn't leave you. You knew he wouldn't push but you knew the thought of someone hurting you was hurting him. "I don't want your pity" you say before you are cut off "Scars visible or not are nothing, they don't define you"

"it was my fault, I didn't leave when I should have.." you said feeling the tears swell into your eyes. He pulled your towards him "You didn't deserve that regardless of if you stayed. Don't be stupid and blame yourself "

You could feel the tears falling and your throat cloging up, "I wish I had been there"

"well you're here now right?" He wraps his arms around you giving you a sense of safety and comfort. "Nothing will hurt you, no one will lay a hand on you as long as I'm around. I promise." He says followed by a quiet "I believe you"

He cups his hands around your cheeks kissing you softly on the forehead then on the lips. You closed your eyes feeling safe and comfortable. Katsuki made you feel safe and vulnerable at the same time and that's why you love him so much.

Sorry for not posting I've been going through it, please leave any requests you have !

Robbie appreciation post!

Not much can make the shadows feel a bit more bearable. Not much can make being queer and nonbinary in an isolated community less scary.

When we found Robbie's music years ago, we were in a dark place. We were losing friends, losing family, losing our identity, and struggling with mental health and gender. The day we heard This is Home we broke.

Cavetown is just a kid like us. Barely older than Ash. He probably is navigating life and witnessing the scares of it just as much as any of his fans. That's what makes him so relatable and his music so powerful. He's human.

I just absolutely adore the guy and all he does. His music is something I strongly connect to. We all do. His humor and compassion are unmatched.

Anyways, go listen to Cavetown and Cavetown Offline.

-----

Boys will be bugs, empty bed, 16/04/16 (Jack's song), guilty, this is home, frog, and devil town are my favorites.

For Offline I love dysphoric v2, candle, untitled, it's okay, and hug all ur friends.

Thanks for asking @vivi-mire and @goldensunset! To answer your questions, I'll preface this by saying I don't actively seek out character playlists that often, but I like making them. Unfortunately this leads me down some dismal fucking roads while looking for other people's thoughts on the subject.

Possibly to the surprise of some, offline I am known mostly for 2 things: anarchy and music. Music is my life. I have one million other hobbies, and in online spaces I mostly talk about video games, but my true essence is music--particularly rock and punk. My collection spans over several mediums. I have a 2018 Victrola record player that I've repaired by hand, a 2004 CD-radio player, a 2021 cassette-CD-radio player, and a 2007 Insignia MP3 player. Most people around my age ditched CD players by the time they were in high school (no judgement there), but I used mine this morning. I have two books in my bag on cassettes right now. I play two string instruments and have considered picking up a third! I don't say any of this to brag--it's just what I choose to do with my time and money, same as anybody else. The reason why I bring it up is to emphasize that I both know and care a lot about this particular subject. And let me tell you. What I feel when I see the same 6 artists over and over again in every character playlist is not simple haterism... it's pity with a dose of concern.

What bothers me more than the music being ill-fitting for some fictional character is the tangible evidence that most people do not have the means to discover new artists; also, to some degree, the foreboding conclusion that we are losing a diversity of taste. There used to be magazines and independent radio shows, local performances, older kids in the neighborhood you could talk to to find new bands, but the rise of streaming as the primary distribution method has severely limited the ways through which interested parties can discover music. Ask someone you know how they discovered their favorite artists--for real!! Most of the time, they'll answer, TikTok, Youtube, or Spotify. Algorithms. Mathematical processes designed to funnel people into profitable avenues of advertising. These are the things determining the music taste of today's listeners, and it's powerful fucking stuff, to the point that even radio stations have been affected by the algorithms of these unrelated websites. When I was living in Los Angeles, I had to watch the station 106.7 KROQ slowly go from playing 90s grunge and nu metal to running the Arcane theme song by Imagine Dragons 27 times daily, because it was being played to market the show. Everything is morphing into profit sludge! An equation on somebody's computer somewhere determined that this specific pool of artists would be able to turn a bunch of queer 16-24 year olds into a marketable demographic, and thus Tumblr is overrun by the same 8 or so bands in every poll, every uquiz, every embedded spotify playlist. You guys ever heard of Hozier? I've been listening to a rad new artist lately, yeah! It's Cavetown. You should listen to Mitski! Did you hear about Mitski? I think you should listen to Mitski. What about Mitski guys. What about Mitski.

Again, it really doesn't have anything to do with the quality of any of these artists (except for Imagine Dragons, which I'll never hesitate to shit on). I just think it's... odd, and upsetting, that so many people are trapped inside this tiny little bubble of music that has been algorithmically determined for them as the genre they can be arbitrarily sorted into for marketing appeal reasons. It's like hearing someone say they've never seen it rain before. I discovered many of my current favorite artists by browsing through secondhand stores, talking to older punks in my community, renting CDs from the library, reading magazines (I recommend Razorcake), and going to local $5 cover shows held in the basement of a record shop. It physically pains me that this method of discovery is dying. It hurts to think of how few people are engaging seriously with the music scene in the places they live. It devastates me to see so many people being restricted by their circumstances from finding the music that will speak to them, specifically, not every single young, white, very online gay person living in the United States.

Basically--this is not okay. Something has to change.

Maybe dysphoria will pass someday, I’m tired af.

The hormones made me feel better about myself, the bodychanges are amazing (but I hate the acne, that shit destroyed my skin, but ok), like to see my body growing muscles and other stuff like that. But even though the changes, sometimes I’m get so angry while dysphoric and it makes me very violent with myself.

I rarely see myself in the mirror as I truly are, I can say that now, and it makes me sick.
