#hands down my fave is the artic monkeys song

[kaitosimp]

FHGHFJJDJFBNS so sorry i haven’t talked much… dr fixation died but i still like kaito!!

i was just on summer vacation too (going to private school in august :,]) and family was visiting but!! allow me to share a few brainworms for songs that fit kaito/kaito ships that i thought of while i was on vacation 👁

the moon will sing by the crane wives (they’re my favorite band surprise surprise) reminds me of saimota!! a big theme of the song is placing too much trust in someone- shuichi feeds into kaito’s biggest weakness (his lack of openness and a desire to do things without help) during the killing game because of how much trauma kaede’s death gave him- but they help each other grow and heal eventually :’]

why’d you only call me when you’re high by arctic monkeys has oumota energy and i have no clue why- the line “it’s harder and harder to get you to listen” reminds me of kaito getting frustrated at kokichi for his antagonistic behaviour in the later chapters- i can’t really describe this one much, i have no idea why it reminds me of them :,] it’s a great song, i’d def recommend you’d listen

thank my boyfriend for this idea but he told me the song tire swing by kimya dawson reminded him of kaito- he cares a lot about his family and his friends and would do a lot for them :,] he has a lot of insecurities and relies on himself like in the line “my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights”

Awe it's alright dw!!! I'm so glad you got to go on vacation and stuff, I hope you enjoyed it and had fun!! 🥰💜 I'm in the same boat rn actually, I'm omw to a hotel resort for vacation so that's why I'm answering asks so early in the day before we get there 😂 Oooh it's been a hot minute since someone's sent various songs, let's go 👁👄👁

Ooh that moon song reminded me of saimota too!! Idek how to describe it but it made me think of how Shuichi depends on Kaito and how important Kaito became to him after Kaede's death and how he's his #1 support and source of comfort 😩 When the "I shine only with the light you gave me" bits came on it hit me in the feels- it's talking about how Shuichi was able to keep moving and grow stronger thanks to Kaito and his unconditional support and stuff :,))))

OMG I FUCKING LOVE THE SECOND SONG!!!!! WHY'D YOU CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE HIGH AND DO I WANNA KNOW ARE MY FAVES BY ARTIC MONKEYS THEY'RE SO GOOD AND THAT HIGH SONG FUCKING SLAPS, I WAS LITERALLY LISTENING TO IT EARLIER 😭😭😭💜 And it's funny cause this one gave me oumota vibes too and idek why either!!! Though when I truly think about it, I guess it reminds me of like, in a non-killing game au where they're kinda something but kinda not at the same time, y'know the typical stuff with Kokichi running away from his feelings and the situation and it makes Kaito frustrated af cause he likes the dude a lot but he just keeps pretending everything's fine and that nothing's changed despite them being romantically involved and even though he pretends he doesn't want anything with Kaito he keeps coming back and the song is from Kaito's perspective 👀👀👀 But yeah man it's a fantastic song, I love it sm 😩🤚🏽

Anddd ngl the tire swing song gave me breakup song vibes 👁👄👁 Like all the bits saying that the polaroid photo was taken down, you got a new girlfriend, take your picture off the wall, it's time to leave again, etc etc, it's like him breaking up with someone 😔 But I def see what you mean about him caring a lot about his friends and family and would do anything for them but he only relies on himself for help and stuff 😔🤚🏽

Robron self-care

[Or, Lizzie goes on a positivity rampage...]

Good morning fandom! How are we doing? I have a suspicion that we’re all feeling a bit fragile this morning. I know I am; despite my attempt to stay positive I was still only able to get about 4 hours sleep. So, I have made a list of fun robron and non-robron things we can do today and over the weekend to try and ease the knots in our stomachs and the tension in our backs.

I’m a fic writer and so lots of these are writing and reading related. Also, I feel good when I comment on things or talk to people but I know that for some this is something that causes anxiety, rather than helps it. That’s cool- do as many or as few of these things as you like! Also, making this list was actually a really nice way of feeling calm and distracted, so if anyone wants to make a list of their own I would so love to see it!

Non Robron related care tips- if you need to take a break and let your heart heal a little <3

Send a positivity meme to your favourite blogs. Or send some to your newest follows/followers, Stay on anon if that makes you feel more comfortable :)

Say hi to one of your tumblr crushes <3

Watch any of the Animal Planet ‘Too Cute’ videos on youtube (some personal faves here, here, and here)

Watch the calming cat gif every time you start to feel stressed or anxious

Listen to a new playlist or podcast- I like spoitfy’s One Week Playlist (otherwise I would just listen to the same bands over and over) the ‘80’s work out’ on is super fun too. Everyone in my office listens to a podcast called ‘my dad wrote a porno’ which I keep meaning to start up with. You can still get a free trial with Audible so you can try a book- but my favourite thing on there are The Great Course lectures which are uni level lectures for a whole range of topics. The one on Ancient Egypt is my favourite so far.  

Take the most insane buzzfeed quiz you can find- because who else can give you life advice that matches your perfect roast dinner? Who doesn’t want to know which 90’s indie band they are? How can you go through life without knowing which dried fruit matches your zodiac sign?

Get a book out of a library; even if you do not get the time or inclination to read it- the act of going out and exploring the bookshelves can still be fun

If you’re like me and find cleaning soothing declutter the files on your laptop; studies have shown that this is the easiest way to procrastinate whilst looking like you’re actually being really productive and lbr the sight of beautifully organised files is a thing of beauty

Indulge in a beauty routine that you sometimes forget to do- paint your nails, give yourself a hair or face mask, use a pore strip or just take a hot shower :)

Stay hydrated! Don’t like water? Try a fancy new tea or coffee! Not a hot beverage fan? Try a favourite childhood drink (I recently bought a bottle of Robinsons squash after about 10 years and I don’t even know why I’ve never bought it for myself before…)

Robron related self care- if you need things to do that will help you to hold on to the hope that ‘robron are end game’ and that they love each other and are soulmates:

Read your favourite fics again and leave a comment if you haven’t before- it will make the writer’s day believe me! Ask your favourite blogs for recommendations or try rec pages like @emmerdalefanfiction

Explore the Robron Week (#rw2017) and Robron Wedding Countdown (10 day robron challenge) tags- lots of fic here but also art and meta and plenty of people being happy and excited they were innocent times

Watch the ‘cute bits’ playlist on youtube or re-watch your favourite scenes. Or try the playlists of the cast’s Instagram videos like this one here

Make a collage of your favourite fan art- send a message to your favourite artist telling them which is your favourite piece and why. Reblog the art so that more people can gaze upon the perfection that is Danny and Ryan ;)

Beta read a fic someone you know is working on or mine for the love of god please There is a serious lack of betas in this fandom and it is a great way of being creative without having to take too much personal control.

Make a list of your ten favourite robron quotes- spend time decorating and illustrating them either on the computer or by hand

Sign up for @emmerdalebigbang as a writer, artist or beta

Make a playlist of songs that make you think about Robron- my faves? ‘I wanna be yours’ by Artic Monkeys and ‘Dangerous’ by The XX.

Write down your hopes for future happy robron storylines – do they get a dog? Does Liv start doing well at school? Are Aaron and Robert the new business kings of Emmerdale? Do they have to help rescue a flock of sheep when Adam accidentally lets them get loose?

Daydream about Robron AUs by using a random AU generator. I like this one and this one (NSFW)

I hope everyone eventually feels better. Remember your feeling are valid and that expressing them is a positive thing. There are a few of us in the fandom who are going on a POSITIVITY RAMPAGE and while I’ll only have sporadic access to tumblr throughout today my ask box is always open if anyone needs a hug <3 <3 <3
