Colouring - ok scifiiii OKAY BEAT COME IN OH YEAH BABYYYYY THIS IS A VIBEEEEE yall need this in yalls lofi studying rnb playlists im NOT kidding oh i bet hyunjin was so happy to get this chorus SHE SOUNDS SO GOOD
sensitive - i LOVE IT!!!! i was so anxious but it's bouncy and bright and it suits their voices very well i love how they mix up the chorus as well i LOVE the chorus! it's appropriately sentimental but also SO FUN!!! im SO PROUD of them!!!!!
day by day - BEGINNING??? FUCKING ROCKS?? thats a txt production whattt oh that synth in the back OH THE DAY BY DAY !!!!! WHAT A CUTE PROGRESSION!!!! again this is SO txt they have a song just like this
newtopia - i love how even though they're bright they're not all in your face oh i LOVE how they sing that chorus!! new new new topiaaaaa is SO satisfying it gives it such a special vibe
strawberry soda - LETS GO YVES PROD oh the joint singing!!! SO CUTE AHHH CUTE CHORUS?? what a happy cute song i love the bridge
intro: searching for their friends - THE STRINGS????? cannot dethrone love & evil but it's RIGHT BELOW it
i think they utilized them very well they really made use of those things we knew they could do well (the adlibs, for example, which they have the perfect voices for) and amplified those things that could've worked against them in other types of songs but which are well at home in this album, like the bounciness and breathiness of their voices. The elements they added also kept everything so fresh! the classical sample for example was well utilized and recurrent. and they kept this sci fi ish element popping back up in certain synths ALL THEIR INTROS WERE VERY GOOD??? i really think they did very well
verdict: STREAM IT!!!!!!! ITS SO GOOD???????
#TRUE first listen btw#first listen rank#loossemble#ily so much girls goofy name and all#best girls ffr#Spotify

#something something he has the title of prince yet is treated like a commoner#callum holds a prestigious ranking due to his mother's marriage yet he is not the hier to the throne#im sure canonically he literally cannot care less specifically#but i like to think it factors into his struggles with finding himself#and his purpose in the world#this is a “we love ezran” household#but i cant help feeling callum has the vibes of a middle child despite being the oldest#while ezran is both oldest and youngest. burden of the crown yet still a child#the title of high mage gives callum his own kind of recognition#but it doesn't separate him from the title of prince#he's the first human mage to do primal magic yet only his inner circle recognizes how big of a feat that is#something something having a strong mind and heart with an untapped thirst for knowledge#everyone forgets about him so it gives him time to research all he needs#this was originally inspired by the vibes of “red moon” by will wood#puts my callum would listen to will wood if he existed in xadia badge#probs ¡Akido!

ttpd review: thoughts (and prayers)
cuz wtf was that. (also providing my two cents that no one gives a shit about)
Is the promotion in the room with us?
Not going to lie, this part pissed me off. As a post evermore release swiftie, the first album release I got was midnights. And while the promotion for midnights wasn't astoundingly genius, the track list release (midnights mayhem with me) was smart. Everyday, there would be chaos all over social media of taylor taking out a number and releasing the track name. The excitement over YOYOK was to die for. But after reaching peak fame, girlie just decided shit wasn't necessary anymore. Absolutely no promotion for ttpd, except a few lyrics that provided no context (or excitement) whatsoever. That, and the very non subtle "hinting" of some big reveal of what went down between her and joe, by making some playlists, that not only ruined the perspective of many of her fans and the relationship they had with her previous songs, but ALSO. THE ALBUM HAD BARELY ANYTHING ABOUT JOE. (Not that i personally care about what happened, but it was so unnecessary to center the ONLY promotion done around someone who was barely a part of the album). Swifties went on the internet to harass joe alwyn (and his female coworkers) who might as well be called a special mention on a matty healy album. Why even do all that then? We will never know.
Confusion?
taylor released 31 songs, and while a double album theory coming true would be a dream come true for any swiftie, it just... wasn't. Out of 31 songs, barely 10 stood out. Some of it just didn't make sense, in any way. "Why is this on the album?" "This sounds like a midnights vault track." "No issues, maybe this is just a skip. I'll listen to the next. Oh wait nvm. Um." Like girl what. It just feels like a giant vault album of synth pop music.
Also, it's called the tortured poets department. There is barely anything poetic or tortured about the album aesthetic. Except maybe it's torturing me, but I'm as much of a poet as she is, which basically means I'm not one.
The album just feels so different than the other albums, in the sense that they followed an aesthetic, a certain style of music and lyrics, and created some sort of story. This one just feels like she wrote many songs and put them all on an album, picked whatever track name seemed interesting enough as the album name, and called it a day. Some of the songs are gems, some create a confusion as to why they are on this album, and some just make you cringe- or atleast go "wtf". Which is fine, but if not even half the songs fall under the first category out of 30 songs, then it's a problem.
These were written by... taylor?
The lyrics omfg. I'm not going to be one of those ppl who go around saying that the lyrics sounded like an emo middle schooler (I've heard this take) BUT again, some songs have lyrics that make you question how taylor, someone who wrote the albums folklore and evermore, and many great songs like would've, could've, should've, story of us, all too well, fearless, white horse, dbatc, daylight, red... I could keep going tbh, produced...this.
It was very weird to listen to the words "tattooed golden retriever" from someone who wrote "handsome, you're a mansion with a view" (also who the FUCK is calling matty healy that??)
A very important part of taylor's music is how it is focused on the lyrics. The music itself isn't the most special, or different, in most of her songs, but what makes them (and her) special is her songwriting. However, from her songwriting going from commonly used phrases and idioms to make them tell a story, use a wide range of vocabulary, heavily using personification, allusion, transferred epithet, and a few other figures of speech that she uses in her songs to make elements such as colours, for example, tell a story, in a way it seemed effortless and fit perfectly, to this... now it feels like she's trying to do that, but that's it. She's TRYING, and it's not yielding results, and seems more like a try hard "poet" rather than... whatever she was going for. The songs are filled with self-satisfied "clever" metaphors that are being reused and recycled over and over. This is not what ppl meant when they asked you to be more environmentally friendly, taylor.
Final thoughts I guess?
While the songs are basically only an empty shell of something that taylor used to make, the album isn't all bad. Some of the songs do sound good and go well with taylor's voice (aaron dessner, the fucking legend you are) and are quite enjoyable, if not as memorable as her other songs.
There are songs such as the prophecy, clara bow, so long, london, loml, guilty as sin?, etc., that really do come through and honestly I really like them.
I do feel that the album can grow on people, but it's just... not the best. Like she says so much, and not to quote taylor swift, but genuinely the only thing in my head right now is "the more you say, the less I know".
Overall, the album is fine, but not in taylor swift standards. It's just... not bad, with some exceptions.

found the article, i think:
holy cannoli, I can see why it made that random woman shake her damn head and send an email 😂
it’s clearly a chill, off-the-cuff opinion piece, so im not gonna ding them too hard for just like. talking about their opinions. however.
the audacity to rank felicity highly for her stories being exciting because the take place around the time of a war, while simultaneously completely dismissing caroline out of hand is INSANE.
#my posts#like it’s clearly just a written description of two coworkers having nostalgia over childhood dolls and snubbing new stuff so it’s not that#big of a deal. however oh my god they are so wrong.#listen I love Molly. she is my first doll and my best girl. but I would not say she is the best american girl doll lmaooooo#the literally ranked felicity 2nd and caroline dead last. im gonna scream.#also this was before claudie btw#I genuinely enjoy a lot of polygon’s videogame content. did not enjoy this.#also why tf do they think caroline was born in a log cabin?????

I doubt the devs meant for cloud strife to be so autistic-coded, but holy hell does he come across autistic
#the number of times I’ve said he’s just like me fr#esp in rebirth there have been multiple moments i just pointed at the screen and said autism#the beginning when tifa is talking about how she saw someone they used to know with a woman who looks like a model or something#then notices cloud and says ‘but you’re not interested in this are you’ and he just bluntly replies ‘not really’ and then after a second of#silence adds ‘uh but I’ll listen. go on’ i screamed#then later when aerith asks him what kind of swimsuit he’d like to see#probably i think flirting#and he launches into a spiel about how he prefers function over form and it needs to be practical and he has a lot of specific opinions abt#this and aerith is just standing there like🧍♀️#when you first get to the gold saucer and barret notices cloud is not vibing w this big bright loud amusement park and offers that they#go find the hotel and rest#when aerith is giving her speech about being an ancient i chose ‘smile’ as a way to quietly encourage her#and cloud could not do it on command. it was so bad#the fact that you can get really into queen’s blood and have cloud collect all the cards and become the highest ranked player in the world#(which is what i have been doing)#even though this literally has nothing to do w the quest he’s on#the way he just in general does not seem to like being touched or touching others often#autism. autism autism autism autism#final fantasy

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]
Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind
(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])
[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]
#the tags got NERFED so let's try this again.#peridots-art#minos prime ultrakill#ultrakill#ask to tag#organs#...? gore maybe? for the whole ''transparent chest/visible cardiovascular system'' thing. not very detailed/realistic though so#i don't think this has all of the same charm as i usually find in my posts. but i tried my best to make it work so i don't think it matters#also ''not too happy with how this turned out'' is something i've seen tacked onto posts worthy of being preserved in museums#i heard someone say his snakes should be ball pythons. i'm not autistic about snakes so i decided to listen to the masters#i still have seven levels to p-rank before i can meet this guy!! halfway there (lust/greed and 1-3 remaining) i've only had my own copy#of ultrakill for a week and i already have 33 hours in. anyway he's grown on me i think. absolute bi king and only monarch i respect <3#i think it's interesting how i now define my queerness by being gray-ace and trans when i first only identified with bisexual. it's still#an important part of me even if sometimes i forget. sorry that sounds completely unrelated but it's related to my feelings on this piece#anyway (i wonder how many ''anyway''s i've slapped on so far) i also find it interesting how often people draw him with this body type.#i think it's cool there's variety in how people draw the uk characters. it just kinda feels right here? i know i unfortunately don't draw#fat characters often at all (partially due to being a primarily fandom blog who likes to stick to canon designs. i wouldn't say i have#trouble with drawing a realistic amount of fat even on rather thin people though lol) but i try! also genuinely unsure what counts as like.#fat vs chubby? or whatever? i don't know exactly how the terminology works and a fair amount of minos' bulk is muscle anyway but. yeah 👍#men are pretty in dresses my final message. goodbye

Do you guys think Holt and Storch Sieben ever hatefucked
#I think they have a complicated relationship I’ve been pondering it#bc Holt very much does hate her before the events of the Koliblunt force trauma incident#her initial dislike of Sieben comes from a bad first impression when Sieben was fresh meat on sierpinski (Holt is olddd)#she was petty about it but willing to deal with it to a certain point#but as her higher up sieben pushed her buttons one too many times early on#which is bad you WANT the senior medical EULR on your side in case of emergency!!!#i do think they’ve spent a lot of time together for work related reasons#they become not quite friends not quite enemies?? but a secret weird cold thing full of regret maybe#this partially has to do with how I characterize present day sieben bc yeah she’s a Storch and they are prone to temper tantrums especially#if not trained correctly#but Sieben’s basically one of the highest ranking units at sierpinski if I remember correctly#and you don’t get there without some degree of level headedness + when talking to her she’s not necessarily warm and fuzzy#but she also didn’t seem like a young volatile Storch to me#at least not anymore#I think about sieben a lot but anyways#roundabout way of saying that when Holt did fall ill with the infection it wasn’t ignored by sieben#Holt was visited by her once alone when her vision started fading and they had a moment.#a reconciliation? an attempt on sieben’s part to make things right before the inevitable?? or just wanting to check on her? who knows#I certainly don’t#holt#thanks for listening to the ramble I’m attempting to blorbo post more#and this has been rotating in my head for weeks#figured I’d get it out#blorbo tag

i will never understand how some people can actively shit on something they know someone loves and finds joy in right in front of them. how can you hate something that makes someone else happy in this absolutely fucked world in front of them.
its the passive aggression for no reason i will never ever understand or do to others. if you have a passion, fucking LIVE it. if nothing else, passion gets us through every shitty day, and i will always support it.
have passion in spite of those who hate.
#its absolutely mind boggling to me#and genuinely makes me so fucjinf upset#i was sitting next to my sister who has been nicer to me than usual as she is talking to her online friend and im doing my nails silently b#its her polish and i didnt wanna take it out of her room. but i look up and shes ranking music genres which is all cool. but without#hesitation as the first one at the most bottom tier she put kpop. like i understand its not her cup of tea but i was like okay thats#something that actively makes me wanna keep living yaknow. and she knows that. so i was like#‘interesting placement for kpop’ and she didnt say anything so i said ‘im not sure youve listened to it enough to have such a violent#opinion on it’ and she immediately got angry saying shes ‘heard enough’ and then got mad at me for saying that saying why was i being ‘like#this what the fuck’ and my heart genuinely sunk into my ass but i couldnt leave even though i felt like crying bc i only did one hand and i#was drying at that moment plus i didn’t wanna make it a big deal. but this is not the first time she’s actively hated on my music without#prompt from me and it just makes me ????? like. music taste differs with everyone i understand this and i respect it. if something brings u#happiness then i would love to hear and listen even if i wouldn’t choose it myself. but being a bitch about it. idk#ultimately its the fact of being mean for no reason over someone else’s passion makes u a fucking asshole#:)))) im not crying bye#ashley rambles#to delete later#my mom and brother do it too btw. hating on it and making sure i hear it.#my mom was doing it the other day and my 7 year old nephew kept saying ‘pook i love it. i think its cool’ and it made me cry because kids#have the capacity for such unaltered kindness as the world has yet been cruel to them#idk man

okay taylor swift the tortured poets department first listen rank/review (except im only doing like. top ten bc im not ranking all that) (alternative a half hearted attempt at a should've-been selection)
the prophecy
how did it end?
the albatross
fresh out of the slammer
i can fix him (no really i can)
florida!!!
the black dog
fortnight
cassandra/robin/peter (it's the same to me - cass has the most interesting instrumental, robin's theme is cute, peter makes the most sense re: past albums)
so long london
somewhere in there is a real album and im sorry to see she fired the person who was supposed to tell her when to stop. i dunno if it's the vault tracks or her unprecedented fame that's convinced her a 31 track album was okay (it'd have to be functionally distinct to its counterpart to be a second album and as it is it's a bside at best), but the length is baffling and the songs inside are not good enough to justify.
as it is, the white side is altogether too mushed together and indistinct to hit anything but bland. in spirit, it is about four to five songs spread thin across three tracks each. so many of them could've been condensed (fortnight up to down bad lol, loml-so long london, but daddy i love him-i can fix him, etc) to a stronger effect because they either sound the same or touch on the same topic. you could conserve the three musical lines you've kept (old west pseudo country, 80s tunes, general swift ballad—which are fine! i like the old west best) and open more ground to the better part of the album, which is the folk/high school blend of the black album. it's still rife with needless tracks, but this one approximated the most to songs i would like. i do think i actually like the prophecy, but it doesn't even crack top 25 taylor tracks. the rest are in desperate need to be scraped or seriously reworked.
final verdict: girl get an editor and keep antonoff to a maximum of five for the love of god. this needed at least a year to perfect and a much firmer hand.
#first listen rank#it's so frustrating bc like you've got so many years in the industry under your belt you KNOW you gotta get rid of the fluff#do you not think you can write fluff anymore? think again#can you believe they tried to sell this to me as red meets folklore?#this cannot even look treacherous in the eye

I dunno, and I haven't read the Ascendency novels to be clear, so I can’t speak of who he was before his exile - but maybe Thrawn accepting Grand Admiral for that shitshow on Batonn sealed his fate. Maybe he wasn't the one to pull the trigger, maybe he was appalled by the needless death - he still took the promotion, even if he didn't want it. The moment he took the rank plate was the moment the blood on his hands became insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The moment where all his intentions begin to be buried by his actions.
Everyone is all about how Thrawn isn't that bad of a guy - and honestly I do agree that his character is misunderstood more often than not - but he still did terrible things with the Empire. Turned a blind eye and condoned much more with silence.
Because the fall of Nightswan and Batonn may not have been his fault - but he accepted the stain when he took his promotion.
For all you try to keep things fair, it doesn't matter if you're working in a system that is instituted to be cruel. And while Thrawn had never claimed to be a good man, and had only joined ultimately for the protection of his own people, there's something to be said of this deterioration of morality. How he doesn't understand politics, but is still shaped by the dangerous and vindictive workings of Imperial political scene, forgoing honesty for station.
Pirates and smugglers turn to insurgents and rebels. Capture turns to execute. He kills to prove a point.
He develops for the worse. For all he shapes the Imperial Navy, it shapes him all the same. I dunno. Complex character and all o that. He’s no scum of the earth true evil, but he’s no shining star either.
#I have not watched rebels I have not read the ascendency novels yet I am in the middle of alliances right now#so bear with me. baby’s first analysis#*flips off sky* for Arihnda Pryce and her hand in all of this (who’s truly to blame for Batonn)#like listen. he’s a bad guy! but he’s not a bad guy#like yeah. my man is almost court martialed for when he saves innocents over imperial resources#but also he climbs the rank by doing good for the empire. like that’s a net negative#true he may hold loyalty to his people and not the empire. but it’s not about loyalty it’s about morality#you can commit treason to the empire and still not have been a good guy. yknow#i dunno. Thrawn is better than he could be but worse than apologists say I guess is the point.#and maybe there’s something to be said about how this happens once Eli Vanto leaves. his one true friend. i think that’s significant#I’m just thinking ok#like. a good imperial is still an imperial!!!! that’s all#ahsoka better do this motherfucker justice I swear to god#Thrawn#thrawn trilogy#grand admiral thrawn#Star Wars rebels#sw#Star Wars#z speaks

ranking taylor albums are so hard cause once you think you have an order you go "wait but i really like this song" and it moves the entire album but then you end up putting debut at the bottom and go "wait wait but everybody else does that and it has some songs that i hold really near and dear to my heart" and then your just left with absolutely nothing
#i literally cannot rank them#all i know is that im a recent-ish swiftie and lover was the first album i did a full listen on and since then has been my fav#i also rlly like the aesthetic and its pink but like those are just bonus points#the lover diary was my first piece of taymerch- making the cd my first taylor cd- and it just became my first taylor vinyl#damn i really do like lover#taylor swift#bells' diary ˚୨୧⋆。
