#fun fact about the final song

[writing-with-chaos]

I'll do a bite-sized intro for Eric!!!!!!!!

We're going to bounce back to a classic Summerfest prompt and revisit a playlist concept. Let's see what the playlist for your antagonist or villain might look like!

[turrondeluxe]

Lovers Rock

[hitokiri-izou]

traveling like a dream one night

[the-nation-of-today]

And in the end we found our stage We gave these words of strength

[benetnvsch]

PUT TWO PAWS ON THE FLOOR TWO IN THE AIR AND THEN JUST-

[suzena]

Like making angels out of crows

[lieutenant-amuel]

Oopsie, looks like you gave her some abandonment issues, Naomi.

New Transmission The fucking Scientific Instrument Class Pseudocons apparently developed what they're calling "Hetero Sapience" and are corrupting the brainmodules of the non-Pseudo 'cons around them by using annoying xenophilosophy words. Soundwave tells me they're 'Greek' and 'Latin' words, apparently. Cool, I guess? Anyway, if you see any SI Class 'cons causing... issues, just try your hardest to turn your brainmodule off before you start getting infected with their weird lingo, alongside all the other issues pertaining to letting the SI Pseudocons transmit data into your brainmodule in their own weird ways. Thundercracker, on a bet with Starscream, tried to get into an argument with one of them and his head literally exploded when it started talking about Alpha Trion's "Mythological Origins" in its weird dialect. He's mostly fine, CR Pods are working at 'peak' efficiency, but the facial reconstruction is apparently impossible due to some kind of corruption. I thought it was just some weird prank but there weren't even any scorch marks or anything. Just exploded. So yeah, just avoid optical contact and auditory contact to the best of your ability and you should be fine. Otherwise, try to force-shutdown your brainmodule if you can. Shockwave is working on a cure right now, mostly because I know he had something to do with this in the first place so he's going to be the one to fix it. He probably wanted a greater justification to do that weird data-transfer idea he mentioned previously. But it also explains the weird Thunderwing hypotheticals he's been asking me lately... Can I go one fucking cycle without someone trying to "Perfect Thunderwing's Work" or whatever other idiotic drivel that I keep finding our limited energon reserves siphoned into?? It's not even a Shockwave thing, it's like every damn Cybertronian these days thinks they have the "Missing piece of the puzzle" or whatever. In fact, Shockwave might be doing this as a weird threat against the other R&D 'cons to cement himself as the one and only Decepticon "Allowed" to have resources wasted on projects like that. Ugh, now that I think about it, that's probably a correct assumption and he's probably gonna expect me to thank him for it later. Ugh, and he's probably literally right. Ugh. At least his repairs both to himself and to his lab seem to be mostly complete so further research into the SI project should hopefully come along a little faster. Both Shockwave and Soundwave think the SIs could potentially be used as some kind of specialty weapon, but we'll have to see how they work on sparkless lifeforms, like biological lifeforms or xenomechanical lifeforms. The SIs don't seem to corrupt each other, but Shockwave keeps reaffirming that they're not "Sparkless Lifeforms" because they "were never lifeforms to begin with"... but I think he's trying to hide something. Usually Soundwave is the one to pick up on that kind of technological obfuscation, but he actually agreed with Shockwave and offered to send Ratbat to try to work out exactly what each "sapient" SI is now capable of on a personal level. We could have just had regular Cybertronians aboard to fill the role SIs fill. I would've preferred K Class to fill any role an SI could fill in all honesty!! But no, constructing cold wasn't enough, we just had to try to learn how to "Construct Frozen" and the "Absolute Zeroes" just had to be put on my ship. Whatever. I've probably said too much already. This was supposed to be a warning for my ship crew, but it's looking like it'll end up being transcribed on the golden disk as well so when this new Scientific Instruments of Destruction project backfires in some absurdly bombastic way there will at least be something remaining that says I was right. End of Transmission

New Transmission Okay so I was right, but so was Shockwave and Soundwave. Or, well, they were right just enough to make sure the backfire is postponed for at least another handful of cycles. Ratbat is still in CR from the investigation, but the cure Shockwave developed seems to be effective and Thundercracker is out and aiding the repair effort. Shockwave is now in contact with one of the SIs digitally and the other few are... integrating due to the personal efforts of Soundwave. I suppose now would be pertinent to mention not all the SIs developed the "Hetero Sapience" condition, many of them are safe for interaction. Soundwave is also currently monitoring their presence, Ravage is tasked with the regular SIs and Laserbeak is tasked with the "Sapient" SIs. Shockwave probably knows exactly what caused this event but he is preoccupied with the one he no doubt is either indoctrinating or ruthlessly interrogating. Report to Soundwave if you see any suspicious behavior, he has been working very hard to ensure the SIs have their purpose clearly defined (And closely monitored). And, Starscream, stop trying to convince the SIs that you are the leader of this ship. Not only have the majority of your efforts been wasted on subsentient automata, the only one you have actually found who possesses the ability to truly listen to you immediately came to the bridge to complain about you. They were the first sapient SI I communicated with directly and it was because they felt the need to complain about you. I almost feel embarrassed for you. Come back to the bridge so you can apologize to it or so I can teach it how to laugh at you. It's practicing right now actually! This moment of chaos should hopefully be largely under control now, the actual "population" of Scientific Instrument Class Pseudocons was actually quite fewer than initially expected due to an indexing error incorrectly labeling certain shells as SI class. At the very least, we have some more specialty warriors because of it all. End of Transmission EOF

im still holding on to that pipe dream that all current love live groups will someday cover sunny day song all together. and holding out hope that they'll also release solo versions of it for every single girl. the fanmixes will be legendary..................................................

//Alice.

Totally forgot to post this board from a few months ago! Alice is still in progress, so their vibe's slightly changed from this, but I'm still fond of this one ☆

[likedbyuarmyhope]

me when i make a spreadsheet of every single bts song (from group albums) and assign each song a category based on theme/message and then calculate how many songs are in each category and what total percentage of bts songs each category makes up

[briankang]

thinking about how i need somebody/zombie/rose blossom are all sisters and the journey from “Is there anyone to answer me? // Is anyone there? [...] As I am keeping my silence // I’ve let everyone go // A siren rings in my head // I really don’t think this is right // As I am keeping my silence//I’ve let everyone go // Oh now I got to do something [...] I’m all alone, I need someone // I need someone right now” to “Today's a present that I don't want // So I'm wonderin' in this world // Am I really the only one // Who's been wantin' to hide out // From the sun and run? [...] This meaningless life // Wanting something I can't see // And something I can't reach // Or something that could not exist [...] So tomorrow I know I'll be just the same // You'll see me wishin' to stop and close my eyes” to “’I didn’t want any of this’ I can say // I can hate but nothing will change // Looking back now // I see the me with eyes forward // Standing strong getting by moment to moment // Didn’t think much just believed in me [...] But no I’ll never back down // I’ll never be defeated // I’ve been getting through worse // I’ve been through the wringer [...] It’s a song for you and I // Say that we’re alive // Celebrate it now” and it being this path of feeling so isolated and alone and wondering why this is happening to you to accepting that feeling but knowing you need to continue on, even as hollow as it feels because everything feels hollow and meaningless to eventually breaking through and healing because you never gave up and you have people with you now to support and love you and you can finally enjoy and revel in it and be proud of how far you’ve come and what a perfect encapsulation it is of growing up and living and dealing with that sort of thing your entire life and how hard it is but eventually you can make it, even if you still struggle with it

[bonetrousledbones]

does he have a normal voice?

yep! i imagine he sounds somewhere between this and this

[futureghost97]

the fact that I now have a voice recording on my phone of me breaking down crying while trying to sing The Best Day… horrendous
