Orange Juice!!

I still don't like the hair. I think it might be an issue with my line art at this point, or how much detail is in it anyway.

every inch of me is full of pain

luigi mangione/fem!reader

idgaf how anyone feels abt the ethics of writing ff for luigi, ppl literally be writing for the worst individuals ever so… 🤷🏻‍♀️ and i will add that this fic is not a reflection or representation of luigi, i aim to humanise him in the ways the media won’t. tumblr pls don’t ban me 🙏🏻 (1.1k words)

caution. rpf, reader and lu have matching chronic pains lol, ambiguous relationship (yearnful situationship type 😈), flower symbolism, set before his incarceration.

THE grip held on your own palm is unbearable. A metallic stench of blood breathes through the crevasses of your skin. The pain of the wounds has generally died down now, leaving only the numbing sting of regret.

Luigi is asleep; you couldn’t bear to wake him up.

It was a deal the two of you shook on. If the pain was too much to endure alone, you’d let the other know. It was mutually beneficial, this relationship.

No, you weren’t dating; he introduces you to others as a friend, and you do the same with a racing heart. It was more of an oath, a pledge between two bodies, tied to the earth by a turn of phrase.

His body is warm beside you, rising softly with each breath. His back faces you head-on, the ripples of muscle and skin stretched with growth are prominent in the dim light of your bedroom.

A breath hitches in your throat. How domestic it is for him to be like this. Safe and content in the comfort of your bed. Normally you’d laugh at the scene of him swaddled up in the blush-coloured sheets—teasing him at the idea of the forget-me-not flower patterns. But now, all it does is let guilt pool in your gut.

Your hand trembles under the weight of your form as you press it against the mattress. He is safe here; you hope to keep him safe for as long as possible.

With a dismissive scoff, you pull up off the bed, and it squeaks under the release of your form. These thoughts aren’t good for your conscience; you'd hate to let it make you keel over.

The hallway is dark, but after the past month and a half of living here, you’ve become used to it. While you navigate the length of your apartment, an all-too-familiar pain builds in your lower back.

The winter weather fell short on aid when it came to your aches; you could only pray that the wind wouldn’t shatter you whole.

A faint light bursts through the kitchen curtain, leaving a hollow glow of orange. Regardless of the chilling air, the light brings warmth to the room. Non-fluorescent lights were always a must in your living spaces; they were the most efficient to your mind.

Green tea typically helped with the heated fuss of pain, but you had forgotten to grab some during your last stop at the grocery store. Luigi had been kind enough to offer to go and purchase some for you, but you had declined. It was a rainy day when he did; you wouldn’t ask him to go forth into it just because of your poor decisions.

The effects are more placebo-like in your mind anyway.

Cinnamon has always been a common item in your pantry, on account of your mother’s teachings. Paired with the acidic juice of a lemon, the tea proves worthy to combat the stir of aches and pains.

The water will take a few minutes to boil, and even then it will be too loud. Perhaps it would be best to have lukewarm tea, just so the squeal of the kettle doesn’t wake Luigi up.

He bears a similar inflection to you. That’s really the main reason as to why you both get along so well. There’s a reciprocal understanding, one that is unknown to everyone else. You don’t expect anyone else to be aware of it—nor do you want them to be.

No words have to be shared for the pair of you to understand.

The moment the kettle starts to let out a faint whistle, you pull it off of the stove.

A rich aroma of cinnamon fills the space, and you already start to feel the tension leave your spine. As you reach out for the handle of the refrigerator door, a pair of mellow footsteps sounds out from the dark hallway. Despite your mindful precautions, you still somehow managed to wake him up.

The jug of milk is heavy in your grasp as you briefly lock eyes. His are sleep-ridden and squinty; it almost causes a smile to form on your face.

“I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to wake you.”

The hushed tone leaves your throat, croaky with lack of use. Luigi stands to the side of you, blinking away the sleep from his eyes. The shirt he has on is straining over his shoulders; it’s one you recognise as yours. He had a habit of raiding your wardrobe whenever he was over.

“You should’ve.” Was all he said back, voice equally as quiet. From the corner of your eye, you see as he brushes a hand through his messy curls. He’s stood beside you now, lent down so he could rest against the kitchen counter.

In a show of guilt, you smile lacklusterly. It was a part of the deal to make sure the other knew when it got particularly bad—but something in your heart was telling you to act differently.

How would you know if he were to do the same? How many sleepless nights has Luigi gone through merely because he didn’t want to burden you with it?

The tea is hot against your lips; the cinnamon is overpowering, but you like it; at least that makes you feel something. The liquid is murky; the milk manages to convince you that it’s anything but a placebo-featured remedy. Hot chocolate would be nicer.

You tilt the mug towards Luigi as an invitation. He takes a moment to peer into your eyes, like he’s searching for something so specific it’s unseen to the naked eye. The eye contact makes your heart pound wildly, the intensity of his gaze picking at you like one would whilst analysing a century-old painting.

Unfazed by his own sudden actions, he takes the mug from your hand with a hushed “Thanks,” and you lean back against the counter. You subtly push at your sternum, aiming to quiet your racing heart.

Silence envelops the room once more, and somehow, you couldn’t be more at ease. Luigi has a knack for making you flustered but always manages to keep you sane. His presence beside you is anchoring. It’s a lingering feeling, warmer than any cup of cinnamon tea. You wonder, does he feel the same about you? Does he feel content, just alone, in your company?

The mug is handed back to you with a gentle brush of touch. He doesn’t flinch at the contact, so you don’t either.

“Lu,” you start, teeth tugging at your lips, “I’m.. tired.”

He hums, bringing his hand up past your shoulder. His fingers start to toy with the baby hairs at your neck.

He says nothing, and neither do you.

No words have passed, and yet, you’ve both said all that was necessary.

I imagine FF Intern Komaeda would refuse to call Makoto anything other than Mister Naegi. Makoto’s told him multiple times that it’s ok for Komaeda to call him by his first name and the honorifics aren’t necessary. ( it kind of reminds him of Hifumi in an uncomfortable way) but Komaeda insists, even if he does refer to other Future Foundation employees more casually.

on accident, or when he eventually gets sick after taking care of Makoto, Komaeda might call him Master without realizing it. That’d just be embarrassing for everyone.

A very ill Komaeda opens his eyes when he hears Makoto get up from the chair by his bed. "Are you leaving so soon, master?" he says, groggy and very hoarse. "I'm lucky you stayed this long."

"Oh, I was just going to get-" Makoto stops, processing what Komaeda just called him. But he knows that Komaeda has a really bad fever, so he just continues, "...get you some orange juice. Then I'll be right back."

"So lucky," Komaeda sighs again. "Can you stay a little longer?"

"Like I said, I'll be right back. I just need to get you some juice. Like you did for me, remember?"

"Juice? Oh, of course. You didn't finish it, so I drank the rest." He let out a little laugh which turned into a painful-sounding cough. "But I washed it. I promise, I washed it."

"It's okay. Just relax for a second, alright." He tiptoes out of the room while Komaeda is still deliriously murmuring:

"I promise, I promise..."

SENDING NUDES CHALLENGE/ TAEHYUNG FF/ pt-4(smut) end

Plays side to side

“Ive been here all night,

ive been here all day

and boy, you got me walking side to side”

we sang along and then after the song a sad song started. lisa: oh god…lemme change that. she took my phone and as my bestie she knows my password also i dont hide anything to her. So it wasnt a matter.

lisa pov:

i took her phone to change the song until i saw a notification of v. The devil in me came alive and as her bestie i want to do something cruel😌. i texted v

goodmorning daddy🍆💦🤍

and then changed the song to blood sweat and tears. Little did she know….whats coming ahead.

y/n pov:

After an hour of driving we stopped at a convenient store to buy somethin to drink as it was to hot. “notification”

@kth.unknown: oh someone is hornyyy🥵💦😉

hmm? What did he mean. I opened the chst and then saw out of shock. HOLY SHIT WHEN DID I SENT YOU THAT. i replied him.

babygurl is thirsty i guess🥵. He replied

Thats when I remember that lisa took my phone for a while. She is the only one who knows my password.

lisa: y/n they ran out of apple jui-

me : YOU Beach! Why the fork did you do that! lisa: i did wha- oooh…..the message?😌

she looked so proud

i hit her with the bottle of orange juice. im sorry!!!! Lisa replied. i quickly press unsend. But whats the use..he saw it. V:

I gulped at the picture whereas lisa droped her purse with mouth wide open…

when did he start having a-abs…said lisa

i dont know either, i said.

V: completely hard for you y/n…

I replied to him explaining what actually happened. He just laughed out and said he wish i would do something like that. i replied with a 🙂

i kept my phone back to my pocket and asked lisa to play songs on her phone instead of mine. I dont want anything like to happen again.

We switched the seats and lisa started driving for the rest.

After reaching our hotel we unpacked and decided to go out for a walk. taehyung pov:

After the last rehearsal we were sitting and drinking refreshners. Thats when i got a notification

goodmorning daddy 🥵🍆💦

and that was enough for me to lower my shirt to cover my boner in front of the boys. It made me so excited that it started to pain down there. I went to the bathroom. And removed my tee and send her my abs photo. Then i had to relieve myself again. After 5 mins, i came out after cleaning and disposing the tissues. I hope no one heard me moan.

when i opened the door i saw jimin standing the re and smirking. “Well well….atleast not here v”jimin replied.

(on the day of concert) y/n pov

me and lisa were too excited and started walking towards the venue. We were hoping around. When we reached there we saw a tons of other armys. We got into the line passing through the security gate into the hall.

after reaching the hall we went to our seats and started singing songs along withy he other armys. And then the 7 members appeared rising from the bottom. I saw jimin and started cheering them wherease lisa on the other hand held my shoulders because she was like a jelly after seeing jin. lisa: he is indeed worldwide handsom😩.

But then my eyes diverted to taehyung….i dont know what happened to me but i felt like the world has stopped and it was just me and him. I couldnt hear the armys cheering nor lisa calling me. It was just taehyung….ONLY HIM…

And later lisa shaked me bringing me back to reality. I felt my heart in my throat. I saw the seven angels walking towards the audience. Taehyung and jimin were near to each other. When they started singing they started changing their positions. while enjoying namjoon’s part i felt an intense stare.

When i looked it was V. Did he notice me? OH NO! I would love to. But the embarrassment of that nude isnt still gone…lisa waved at him and caused him to smile.

taehyung pov:

i was enjoying the concert until i Saw a girl similar to y/n the same eyes hair and body shape. Is it her? How could i confirm it? Maybe ill have to find her tattoo. I hope its her. So i could call her backstage and talk.

y/n pov :

Lisa: didnt he notice you!?

me: no

lisa : i think he did. He was heels over you. jimin too

me: v indeed…is handsome…I whispered

After a few songs they went to change their outfits. I was calming myself down. I couldnt process seeing taehyung. He was just…a peice of ART.

After a while he came towards our side causing me to shiver. I looked him throught my camera and finally into his eyes. He was scanning me towards my hand and went smirking. lisa: OMG OMG OMG OMG ! He confirmed its you!!!

later i felt his stares from multiple sides

Taehyung pov:

I went over her and scanned her by my eyes. I could see her hand shivering. And as i hoped. It was y/n. The girl who made me cปm 2 times, the girl who got sexy legs, the one who got that tattoo. i couldnt be more happy. I went over to another side smiling while jimin came and took my previous place. He went towards the audience and took her hand and kissed it. I could see y/n hopping with her friend. It made me jealous and y/n indeed looked at me. She saw my serious face understanding that i didnt like it.

after an hour the concert was coming to an end they bid goodbye to us and since it was too crowdy it tooked a long time to go out. While we were about to go a staff came and caught my hand “Are you huang y/n?” She asked i replied with a yes.

“Please come to the backstage with me.” She said .

I didnt want to leave lisa too. So i took her along.

“Oh no please only you.” She said

i said sorry to her and asked her to wait outside.

I nervously went to a room which got a mirror and few hanged tops. Kinda like a makeup room. And then i heard footsteps. And i knew who it was…but eas too embarrassed to face him.

y/n?……. He said in an attractive way. Making my feet go jelly.

i turned around…and my face was right in front of his chest….he was too tall. I looked up to his face. He was smirking endlessly. Came closer to me, until i reached the wall. he kept a hand on the wall., trapping me between the other wall and his hand. Hi…baby. He said seductively. i couldnt look up since he was too close to me. I felt my ears being red and he noticed it. He then moved back and smiled at her. I then calmed myself and said hi. he looked upto me finally hearing my voice for the first time. i dont see the bold y/n who had send me nu- when v was about to say that i covered his mouth with my hand. dont say that! Im already embarrassed😩 i said trying my best not to blush. he then removed my hand and looked at me without any expression . Especially my lip. He was about to when the other members came in and got startled by my presence. I bowed and and said sorry for startling them. When i saw jimin i felt butterflies again. jimin came forward and asked v if she was the one he was talking about. He came to shake my hands and i was overly excited and hopped when i shaked my hands. After a min if eye contact with jimin. V removed my hands saying

“okay…that was way enough” giving me the smile . Other members and i talked a while and they went to change their clothes leaving me and tae alone. It was really really embarrassing. he was just staring at me while sitting on a chair. Since i didnt know what to do i also sat on a chair trying to avoid his intense stare. “why arent you looking at me babygirl~” he said smiling. I was having cold sweat. “um…well we a-arent even talking anythi-ing” i replied.

“y/n, can i kiss you?”He asked making me shocked. wha-i replied

he then laughed.” I was just kidding.” W-when are you returning? I asked. why? Do u want me to go? He asked

NO NOT THAT. i replied

oh you want me to stay? He asked

*sigh* s-stop playing i said. he just laughed and then asked for my number. And then i gave it to him

“well then…i have to go” he said standing up. i stood up to and i felt a hug from him. More like a blanket gulping me. I felt his warm body and his heartbeat. He whispered in my ears “daddy will call you tonight” and then winked at me before going.

i went outside being blank forgetting that lisa was calling me. I told her everything and she was shook.

we went back to the hotel and then layed straight on our bed. Exhausted from all the cheering. Then i got an unkown message from an unknown number. *************

hey. Its your daddy. Me: oh hi

v: you were so shy today.

me: 😅hehe…

v: where do u stay? Meet up tonight? me: are you sure?

V: yeaa. Im at ******* hotel room no. 808

me: OH! im in the same hotel. v: PERFECT. Come to the terrace at 11.

me: alright. v: and dont be too shy and talk to me. me: i will if you stop staring at me so heavily.

v: haha okay.

time skip

i took a shower and by the time i came back i saw her sleeping soundly. I guess she was tired . And then i read some book later realising ive to go to the terrace. I took my phone and saw his message asking me to come to his room.

when it was time i silently moved out if the room and entered the lift. I got into floor and knocked at the door. And then i felt a hand pulling me inside. He the pushed into the back of the door smiling at me. Feeling shy i looked down. he then kissed my cheeks unexpectedly. I felt my cheek burning. then he asked me to say something .

“tae”~ i said . “Hmm?” He asked. “I got nothin to say.”i replied . He smiled walking away to his sofa and sitting down there. He asked me to next to him and i did it. y/n did you know opening that picture helped me finding you? I was silent cus if the embarrassment. He then came closer to me making me lean on the sofa. He then started sucking my neck. I moaned a bit. I covered my mouth with my hand out of embarrassment. He then smirked and looked at me…just a lick and you started to moan? He started licking my neck again until i asked him “tae…are you sure?” He replied with a yes. Ill take care of you. He took me to the bed. He kissed me on my lips and layed me down. He then removed his t shirt and i saw his abs. I got to shy and v noticed it. Touch it he said. He brought my hand up to his abs.

he then started kissing me again. He then unbuttoned my 2 buttons of my top,until I stopped him. I-its my f-first time… i said being red. Dont worry I’ll look after it…he said. He then saw my blue bra and unhooked it making me feel so embarrassed and opened. He made me look at him and said “baby you are so beautiful…”

he then started to massage my boobs making me moan lightly. I again covered my mouth. “I want to hear you” he said. He then kissed and traveled to my pants . Asking me to lift my hip up so he could remove. I was only remaining in my blue panties now. He then removed his pants leaving him only in underwear too… i could see the massive hump in his boxers. he then touched my p*ssy with my underwear on, making me go crazy. He looked onto my face enjoying every reaction i give along with my moans. He then rubbed my underwear making me moan crazily. aah-aah t-taee~ please…

“call me daddy y/n” he said pressing his finger on my clit.

“D-daaddy~ n-nooo”

i said i saw him smirking while touching me. He then moved my undie to the side and popped a finger in. i felt in heaven when he did that…i was a moaning mess by then. He stsrted pishing his long finger in .

“ Fucking tight” he said.

“i wonder how well you would take me in y/n.”

he started adding another finger, moving in and out in a medium pace. “aah -aah-ah-aah!” she moaned.

“louder y/n lemme hear you.” Tae said increasing his pace. i started panting and moaning while grabing the sheets. “i-im cu-cu” and then he removed his fingers, licking it clean. i felt so uneasy at the lost of contact. I was whimpering.

taehyung pov:

the way she takes my finger so well…it was my dream. The way her hole was clenching after I removed my fingers. i then removed her underwear and threw it somewhere. You are too wet. Wet for daddy isnt it? i asked waiting for her reply. mmfp she said. i then removed my boxer and took out my length. I then started licking her off,

t-tae!

she said. i pinched her clit and said “its daddy” in my deep voice. d-daddy please dont~ she said. “why?” I asked. “i-i can-t” she replied i gave it a one last big lick and went towards her face spreading her legs apart my dick just touching her enterance. I looked at her and removed all the hair on her face.

“Baby~ *kiss* im putting it in *deep kiss while pinching ur left nipple* it will hurt a bit okay?”

i positioned myself at her enterance and slowly pushed the tip into her i saw her eyes filling with tears. I quickly kissed her deep and massaged her boob to diverge her thoughts away. Once 1/2 of it was in i gave her time to adjust. “d-daddy…its too big..i cant aaah!”

“only half is in baby” i said smirking at her. i pushed it completely in getting a big moan and gasp from y/n. “You are so tight. God. I might cum right away.”

i started moving, while feeling her inner wall sucking me. fuck y/n…i love you baby! You take me (thrust) so well.

mmph! Daddy! Aah! I feel full! She moaned . Her boobs wiggling as i thrust in. such a beautiful sight. i started licking her boobs and biting it. Turning it into purplish blue. do you like y/n? Do you like my cock? I asked

mmmm yess! do u still want jimin? I asked thrust harder

aaaah *whining* no i dont want

when he kissed you, you looked so happy didnt you? I asked as i was extremely frustrated thinking about that. what about now? Do u think jimin could fuck you like this? Huh? I said increase my speed as i was nearing. y/n started to clench around me so hard. daddy! I love you! she started scratching my back with her nails as she was close enough.

i feel hot in there! Y/n said panting. Cum baby cum for me. I replied. AAAH! TAE DADDY!! (Cums)

My pumps started getting sloppy . I finally reached my climax and cummed in her. I layed on her trying to relax. I could see y/n drooling and panting. I laughed and smirked at the sight. i went down and licked her clean while she was moaning again. i then went and kissed her all over. i could see her opening her eyes slowly.

How do you feel baby? I asked

i could see her getting red. I giggled.

did i make you feel good? I asked while rubbing her cheeks. she nodded yes. i looked at the time and it was 1.30. we fucked 1 hr y/n i said smirking. i never knew a 17y/o could be talented in sex. she rolled over and kissed my cheek and said “i loved it”

“you sure did. A moaning mess you were” i said making her blush. “be my girlfriend y/n .” I said . I took the ring out if the night stand and wore it on her finger. She looked teary and said yes.

im so tired tae~ she said. round 2? I asked

NOOO! She replied i want to sleep.

BUT OH SHIT Y/n. I didnt wear a condom. I said as i knew i fucked up.

she didnt mind as she drifted to sleep.

y/n!!! You might get pregnant!

no i wont. I just finished my periods yesterday. She said calming me down.

and with that i hugged her close and drifted to sleep with her. ___________________________________________

'A svelte noodle' made me nearly inhale my orange juice. Also! #manifest some cheeks ffs < HOWLING at this tag.

This was absolutely a rude commentary on Almighty's design choices

"Hard on the buttocks, horses. Major design flaw if you ask me."

This is your reminder that Crowley doesn't like riding horses because he has no ass. No ass at all. He has the physique of a svelte noodle. But instead of admitting he's the problem because he has no ass, he blames it on the design of the horse, because he can't take accountability for anything, not a single thing, not ever.

[cyarsk52-20]

are you dense? addressed in the context of the show, like what the hell are you talking about? addressed in that it was allowed to happen and should've been discussed as a problem. addressed in that two prominent characters should've been allowed to discuss their sexual assaults.

Are you stupid?! Her husband was literally raping her and it was glossed over for a storyline and you don’t think that should’ve been addressed?! Daphne made Simon 💦 in her when he specifically told her he didn’t want that, and you don’t think that should’ve been ADDRESSED?! Are you ghatdamn stupid?!? Are you fucking serious rn?!??

This show has made a big deal about diversity but the buck should stop THERE?! Two prominent characters were assaulted & you think it should just be WHAT?! Accepted for plot & never DISCUSSED?! Danbury should’ve ADDRESSED what was happening & Simon should’ve called Daphne OUT. How dare you TOSS?!?!?

Like I love the show but ghatdamb I’m sick of y’all! The defenses of this show are INSANE! If you can’t call out the very real problems from the racism, colorism, bigotry, then shut the hell up and let the adults in the room continue discussing w out your presence. Get out of my face and fuck you very much!

I’ve watched soap operas my wholeeeee life! Initially joined Twitter just for discussion OF SOAPS! The fans are RUTHLESS in calling out bad writing while still watching, but Bridge fans act like calling out the problems on this damn show is one of the 7 deadly sins. GET A GRIP!

It is outright insane that you cannot criticize Bridge or QC w out somebody being riled up! You can critique something and still enjoy the finished product! I don’t like pulp in orange juice but still enjoy the juice, LIKE WTF?! Grow UP! It’s entertainment FFS, not POLITICS!

ps: And ANOTHER THING that should’ve been addressed is how often Simon told Daph he did not want children & how she refused to accept what he wanted for her own gain, & ran off sobbing when she got her period!

Pps: They didn’t have a SINGLE conversation addressing what she did and that she was wrong in her actions. It was glossed over, she eventually became pregnant and he was suddenly happy playing daddy. His fears were immediately downplayed for the plot. But yeah, let’s address nothing fuck off!!! 🙄

Ppps: And when 🤧 get all the glitz & glamor not afforded to the POC on EITHER show, get a free ride & all the PERKS, imma shut up because when it was made CLEAR both behind the scenes and ONSCREEN, y’all wanted the rest of us to be quiet. So imma do just that when parts 1 & 2 drop.

#7366 Fifth Frame Open It Up (USA) I scooped this bad boy out at Fifth Frame last weekend, and she’s a banger. A DIPA with Vic Secret and El Dorado, it comes in at 8.5% and pours an opaque burnt orange with a foamy head and a sweet citrusy nose, the body is sticky and sweet with bitter pine and this kinda carboardy vibe, wrapping in a super dry, grapefruit finish. I feel like it’s been oxidized as the other Untappd checkins describe it as drinking pineapple juice, which would explain it as FF are fire and this is an outlier.

I’M SO HAPPY YOU RANKED AA AND RTRWRA SO HIGH!! I always get nervous about that cause the few FF fans I’ve interacted with weren’t very big fans of those records and the mainstream consensus seems to be that they’re not good (which is obv wrong, I don’t care what pitchfork rated it). I seriously think both are FFs most underrated albums. It’s actually really funny because last week or week before I probably would have switched my ranking of them and had Right Thoughts at the top. I do the same thing though where I’ll listen to a particular song or album nonstop for like a week, and then shift my focus to a different song or album! It’s so fun to just take a deep dive into the discography this way, I feel like you can always come away learning something new about it or even just finding a deeper appreciation of it!

another read more because I can’t shut up lmao

But yea I think Right Thoughts in particular gets WAY more hate then warranted. Cause like you mentioned with AA, at least there I can understand why people would overlook it or write it off as too weird or just a talking heads impression, but all the criticism I’ve seen about Right Thoughts is that it’s basically watered down FF/YCHISMB which ?? makes no sense??? Like how can you listen to Evil Eye and be like “yea they’re just washed up, they’re phoning it in” IT’S MADNESS.

You make such a good point about AA though, and honestly what makes me love the band so much, is that through all of their changes they have stayed true to the sound. No matter how much the music and the line-up changes, there is a real heart to it that is so disappointing that a lot of music critics don’t see. They have NEVER compromised on that and it’s really so rare in the music industry these days.

That’s so interesting how you got into Sparks before FF though! I feel like it’s usually the other way around haha. I had seen Sparks on my dash, I think I have a couple mutuals who became really big fans after Edgar Wright’s documentary about them aired, so I would see posts about them here and there on the dash. To be honest for the first little while I wasn’t 100% convinced they were a real band, and not some marketing stunt by Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, et al. from the Documentary Now crew for a new season of the show or something lmao. Like a really famous director making his first documentary about these two guys who have been making music for 50+ years and influenced all these really famous musicians, but never broke the mainstream themselves? That is prime DN material lol. But then I saw the video of them performing with Cate Blanchette at Glastonbury and had to kind of go “okay this is good maybe I should go listen to more”. Now “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us” is one of my fav songs. Another one to crank the volume up in the car lol. Have you seen Sparks live before? I think they’re on tour right now, right?

But yes ugh that collab is SO GOOD that song in particular is such a good utilization of Alex’s baritone that I would LOVE to hear more of. All of the members of Pip Blom seem so cool and down to earth too, like they’re having so much fun everytime they play.

Alex had a six week residency on Absolute Radio?? And I’m just now hearing about this??? Yeah I have some googling to do cause that sounds amazing. He really does have such a great taste in music! Everytime I watch an interview where he mentions a band I go look them up and they’re killer. I got into Orange Juice cause of him!

But yes same goes for you! Please feel free to message/ask whenever! It’s so refreshing being able to talk so in depth about the band to someone with good taste lol

Re: your previous post, I just have to ask what your FF album rankings are thus far! Also I’m loving that someone else is talking about the band at length, it’s been too quiet in the fandom on here haha

Okay this is such a big question I actually switched from mobile to desktop to answer this so be prepared for a novel here lol. But first of all yea I am so surprised the fandom is so quiet on here? I can almost always depend on Tumblr to have a little group of weirdos blogging about a vague special interest I develop so this is a little jarring! Especially considering I can see the fandom was once big enough that there was fanfiction written for it! Makes me a little sad that I seem to have missed it's heyday, but I'm glad there's still a few people kicking around haha.

(putting this under a read more because it got long wow wtf)

ANYWAY though onto the ranking! Now this list changes rapidly from week to week and sometimes day to day, but here is my current list descending (no pun intended):

Always Ascending

Franz Ferdinand

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions

Tonight

You Could Have It So Much Better

*I adore Sparks and FFS, but since it's a dual release I'm excluding it from the list. However, if I included it I would probably put it between Right Thoughts and Tonight*

I feel like it's controversial to put Always Ascending above, well literally everything, and it's also funny because I use to consider this to be their WORST album, but it has grown on me so so much. I really appreciate that they were trying to do something new and experimental with their music and also I presume make an ode to one of their huge influences (Talking Heads). And throughout it all they continue to stick to (and in this case exceed imo) their thesis of "make girls dance". It's just so fun, y'know? So dance-able! The instrumentation is also EXCEPTIONAL on this album. The guitar licks in "Lazy Boy" are some of my favorite of any recent songs and the sparkly synth beats in Lois Lane are GORGEOUS. It honestly reminds me a lot of what they were trying to do on Tonight, where they stripped back their sound a bit. The focus is more on the drums, the beat, and the bass than the kind of punchy guitar attitude we heard on Franz Ferdinand and YCHISMB, but Ascending just takes it one (or two) steps further.

Now, the above is my list of favorites which is different from what I would consider to be objectively better music. If I was ranking this critically/professionally it would probably be this:

Tonight

Franz Ferdinand

You Could Have It So Much Better

Always Ascending

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

The thing about both of these lists though is that, for me, there is no bad album on this list. They are literally all cover to cover listens with iconic bangers on every. single. one. What is considered my favorite could change with my mood or how nostalgic I'm feeling that day. My personal theory on these albums though is that people's preferences are going to sway with what they like FF for. If you like them for the punchiness of their first two albums (that was such a hallmark of the post-punk revival) you probably won't like Right Thoughts and you'll probably actively dislike Always Ascending. If you like them when they're doing weird stuff you'll probably like Right Thoughts and Always Ascending much more. Tonight I think is a really good mix of both which is why it's a lot of people's favorites and a good starting point for any new fan if they only know Take Me Out and or/stuff from their debut album.

Btw it's really funny that as I saw this ask and was thinking about it, The Hard Times came out with an article of "All Franz Ferdinand Albums Ranked Worst to Best" that is almost identical to my second ranking but also pretty cruel to AA and RTRWRA :(. They also gave an honorable mention to FFS but said Call Girl was a skippable track (blasphemy). But yea, I just thought that was pretty amusing timing lol.

I really cannot wait until they release a new album because Curious and Billy Goodbye are such absolute bangers (catch me dancing in my kitchen to Curious at least once a week) and if those singles are anything to go on, the next album is going to be AMAZING.

I would also like to give a shoutout to Alex's collab he did with Pip Blom called "Is This Love?" because it's quickly working it's way up my spotify rankings of top tracks since I cannot stop listening to it on repeat, it's just SO GOOD.

Okay I'm so sorry this turned into a thesis about Franz Ferdinand, but I have had a lot of pent up obsession about this and you just gave me a world class excuse to info dump lol. I would be really interested to see your ranking as well and see how we compare! Thank you so much for the ask btw it means a lot! :)

Day 8: Draw your Least Favourite Food Soul

For the record, she’s not my least favourite, just disturbs me slightly to the point where I kinda fear her. Her design is super cute, and I love how she stands out from the others, just kinda creepy over all.

Rip Orange Juice and Mango Pudding, y’all are at the bottom of my list anyways so it’s kind of fitting you’d end up in this day. Day 8/31
