Anyone want to burn down my school for me? /hj. School is hell and is fucking killing me. It will be my death. All the strees every single teacher puts on me. All the strees my parents put on me to fo well and mad at me for never having any extracurriculars. All of the thoughts destroying me from the inside out. The world falling apart and I donāt have the skills personal money to escape this hellhole. I sm scared snd streesed out 24/7. No wonder my physical gealth is starting to fail. I donāt have the wnergy to take care of myself snd i hate it. I donāt have anything in the real world. It is all pointless to me. Also i hate all the jokes my parents have made about judt plugging me and my brother into the matrix because we are addicted to the internet(as tho it isnāt their fault) and because we have no lives(as tho that also isnāt their fault and our bio momās given we have both definitely gotten secersl of our mental issues from her). Parents once made a ājokeā about taking us out back and just killing us because we donāt want to live in the real world. Totslly what you say to your heavily depressed kids who at least one of them is suicidal(me) and would absolutely adore that. My parents suck. Also I donāt feel safe at school. Yet another three people i know for certain i canāt trudt and are evil given they were talking about have gender affriming care should be illegal(surprised they used the correct term given what they were saying) i was just sitting there like wtf. I am scared. Also two of those three girls sit at the same table as me in marketing do yet another reason to hate and fear that class. I fucking hate that class. It causes me to completely freeze and break down because of the assignments revealing some of my weaknesses which no one can be allowed to know especially given how many people are openly evil and i am a easy target. I widh i could drop the class but i missed the absolute deadline(the fucking literal 3rd day of school. I didnāt wven know the syllabuses for any of my classes but one by then) to drop classes because i was sick. I am dying because of school. I also have no energy to actually do anything outside of school besides bed rot and hide in my room and sleep most of the day because of everything. Thanks parents for fucking emotionally neglecting me for do long that you didnāt notice that i had so many fucking issues that could have been prevented or treated like 5 or 6 or 7 or maybe 8 years ago. Suvh as putting me on anxiety meds since like first grade. I should have been on them since then because it was do bad then and has only gotten worse since. Or maybe antidepressants since like 7th or 8th grade because it was there then but didnāt get extremely bad until 9th grade and 10th grade where it completely nose dived into the ground and has been boring through the ground even farther down since. I am broken because of them ignoring me and my problems pr even making them worse. Like that one time in i think was it 2nd grade where carter(my brother) had been harassing snd bullying me since we woke up and the whole day until i finally snapped at him in the evening and completely blew up and threw several chess pieces at him and missed and hit the window and cabinet glass behind him and shattered them. I got my ass beat for that with a belt multiple times. And wasnāt allowed to go to the fair that night and got several of my plushies taken from me. Carterās only punishment was not going to the fair for litwrslly bullying me all day. I learned to completely hide everything from my parents. Also the fact carter wouldnāt get in trouble for even like for example getting one of his close friends to kick a soccer ball straight at my head and breaking my nose.(just one of the many many many things Carter did. I just remember it so clearly unlike most of elementary) Carter didl got receive any punishment. And you know whst my parents epuld tell me every time when he would bully me? They would tell me to just ignore him because he will stop if i do that.
I donāt know if they never deslth with bullies or not but that is notvhow you get a bully to stop. That only makes them worse because they will instead of doing badic stuff to get you to completely explode the will do more and more extreme stuff until you do. Also no wonder i have anger issues and barely donāt explode at anyone for the slightest thing. I was suffering from several mental issues snd was constantly without stop made fun of and harassed and the people who i was supposed to protect me did nothing and actually made it worse. Some things carter would do all the time are make fun of my speech impediment, the way i walk, the way i move my arms, the way my face looks, everything about the way i look, call me things like fag or tranny and all the slurs under the sun he knew even if they made no since like calling me the n word(i am the palest you can probably get do it made no sense), sexually harassing me, and raping me a few times as kids, and so much fucking more. I need him to have a fate worse than death Maybe lock in sydrome without the ability to close his eyes andhave everyone think he is in a coma, or maybe to get tons of brain damage that omly affects his physical ability to fo stuff do he finally fucking know what it is like to be fucking disabled. I fucking hate his guys and want him to feel pain for everything he has done to not just me but all his gfs and his current bf. He is a monster. I hope he gets his karma soon.
I hate how i canāt trust anyone especially authority figures for already mentioned reasons and many other ones such as for example my 2nd grade teacher would pretend i didnāt exist when i was literally talking to her or her not stopping bullies when i was being bullied right in front of her, or my third and fourth grade typing class teachers for getting so fucking mad at me for not using both hands to type(as tho i could because i canāt use my right hand or things like that) and literally coming over and forcibly correcting me, the fact that the best of my teachers in elementary(being my 5th grade teacher) was still very weird and purposely made me stick out from all my other students by literally changing her whole curriculum that year just because of me or like when we read āwonderā as a class she would basically say hiw i am simplar to august(the protagonist of that book) who is in fact disabled but in such s fucking different way that it just make me feel worse and internalize self hate about how i am not disabled enough to be treated as equals to everyone but too disabled to be like everyone else. So many people basically treated me like a baby that year i hated it. Another example from that year was when we read āfresk the mightyā(good book) why did she have to constantly point out how i was disabled. Also one more thing she did was on my birthday she literally have a massive party about august from āwonderā I donāt even share a birthday with him do it was so fucking creepy and i was do called out. There is so much more from judt my fifth grade class but at least wasnāt bullied that year tho was mostly ignored and isolated from my peers but at least no bullying like 2nd, third, and fourth grade there was do much that happened in those three years. Also i hate how much of 6th grade i missed because i had surgery on my right foot to find a lot of issues caused by it. Unfortunately the surgical site didnāt heal and almost got infected and that caused recovery from taking a like 2 maybe 3 months at most to around 6 or 7 months and only went back from like the last 3 months with taking a lot of time off because of recovery. That isolated me a lot more from everyone. Then i had seventh grade where nothing really happened besides isolated more. Then there was 8th grade where the pandemic started that march so was completely shut off from the world without being able to talk to literally anyone and was so alone and my grades started to slip and depression started to nose dive. But 9th grade was worse for do many reasons including me getting covid(still canāt taste or smell that well but the taste is slowly coming back now) and everyobe having changed including the few friends i had either them literally becoming fucking evil like one called me for having cp(not cerebral paldy) whwn i explained i had cerebral palsy and he knew i didnāt have the other thing but wanted to get me in trouble all because i was different and not like him. He was like the nicest person in 8th grade so who knows what happened but he became insanely ablest and sexist. Also i then hung out with a group of misfits(with two of them being trans and one being bi but somehow didnāt realize i was trans yet) but lose contact with all three of them over the summer. Then in 10th grade i made a friend. He was the nicest person to me ever and i also got a phone that year so i got his number and actually talked yo him outside school. He was so nice to me. But for some reason as soon as school ended he completely abandoned me and definitely blocked my number. No idea why. There was no reason why he completely abandoned me. Probably one of his other friends told him to. I mean he was friends with one of carterās exes(she luckily broke up with carter after like 2 or 3 weeks once she realized how evil carter is). Also realized i was trans that year and he was the first person i came out to(wasnāt the reason he abandoned me given that was months and months before he did)
Then last year was completely alone and had nothing but at least could listen to music almost day and ignore the world as best i could. I have finally broken completely and have no way to ignore it like canāt even listen to music at school even during individual working time. I am so done
I am just so exhausted and done with life but unfortunately canāt kill myself to end it

me stoically navigating my way through drama bc bigger things are ahead and itās not my fault people are dumb
#kissed a guy at a kickback and thought we caught a vibe only to find out he just wants to fuck me. next#friendās bf of 7 years drunkenly hit on me at the same kickback (I was not ok w this). they ended up beefing over me. he denied everything.#do I want to be involved in this? no. and so I simply ignore it and keep it pushing#and the guy I kissed is cancelled. like he is dead to me. so thatās also taken care of#itās back to studying full-time for the mcat#going to the gym/taking walks daily#volunteering at the refugee center + clinic#getting published in orgo research papers#and trying to snag the opportunity to shadow doctors at a massive cancer research center. like Iād kill for it#december was such a mess but Iāve finally made peace w the fact that most of the stuff that happened I couldnāt prevent#but Iāve mourned it enough !! whatever drama comes out of it Iāll handle just fine#i literally want to be a multitasking academic weapon everyone is intimidated of this year#i am not letting something as puny as a dumb man (both of them btw) stop me. goodbye#also everyone involved is older than me (theyāre both 23) but it all just feels like such high school behavior#this is not a euphoria episode like Iām literally just not entertaining any of this#had to get this off my chest. i feel better#p

man. the entirety of the summoning is a banger but when i tell you i literally had to pause the video and stare into the distance with my jaw hanging for a good few moments at āwhatās in your pocket, stephanie? stephanie has got a gunā etc. like holy SHIT. i think part of the reasoning it was so effective for me at least was because i kinda thought it was like. oh stephās just gonna have to say āi give up peteā, she wouldnāt have to physically kill him haha, and then the lords in black mention the fucking GUN and iām like wait FUCK. and even if you realized that steph would be the one to have to kill pete, youād be like āoh. well she canāt really kill him that easily, so itās not really feasibleā and then you remember she can end it with just one fucking shot to the head
#anyways npmd is my favorite of the hatchetfield shows so far sorry not sorry <3#LITERALLY EVERY SONG IS A BANGER#like with dirty girl? i want to throw up. BUT ITS MEANT TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THAT AND IT WORKS SO WELL#and donāt get me STARTED on high school is killing me itās one of my top top favorites#itās just so good#npmd#npmd spoilers#nerdy prudes must die#nerdy prudes must die spoilers#stephanie lauter#peter spankoffski#just.

my design skills may be mid and i may never have enough energy to keep up with my peers and i might never come up with a design that makes my classmates go "oooh that's so cool!" but my inability to Just Fail Out Of A Class means i WILL be getting this degree and i WILL sit through a million miserable critiques and i WILL participate enthusiastically in order to do it. YES I KNOW ITS THE SAME THING AGAIN. YES IM AWARE MY DESIGNS ARE STALE. IM BUILDING A BRAND FOR MYSELF OK?? I HAVE 8 PAGES OF A COMIC DUE ON THURSDAY GIVE ME A BREAK.
#nnstuff#rambling#vent#art college#<- its trying to kill me#i considered getting a B failing a class in high school#not for normal reasons but for I'm Being Abused reasons#held literally no one else to that same standard#so i will be doing all my work. and it will be miserable. but im not allowed to kms#SAD oh well.

hello! Quick question, my friend is writing a YHS FIC and they really want to get the characters accurate. Do you have any major personality details about YHS!Bunny and what their goals are? Of why they want to investigate and stuff like that?
Also, if you donāt mind: In the Mx. Sinister animatic, there was a scene with bunny and a bunch of written papers and weāre having trouble deciphering some of them. What does this one say?
Thanks in advance!!
Bunny is meant to be a character with schizophrenia, though I'm sure my portrayal isn't very accurate(partially just because I suck at staying in character lol) but this is nonetheless a central part of them!
Bunny's delusions and paranoia lead them to very frequently feel unsafe and isolated. Even when they aren't experiencing hallucinations, their negative symptoms mean they struggle to keep friends.
The disappearances caused a very sharp spike in their symptoms. Nova, previously being one of their few friends a suddenly withdrawing' and having 180 personality shift and was massive hit to their very slim social life and an even bigger hit to their paranoia. I'd say that was the moment when they went from a more passive paranoia to full blown red-string conspiracy, and obsessively taking pictures of everyone and everything (The polaroid camera is a result of one of their delusions, they are terrified of anything hosted digitally being tampered with and so the polaroid are loophole that they can use to assure themself of reality)
Bunny's main goal in life is to feel safe. Unfortunately for bunny, that's kind of unattainable in a town like that.
Especially in the current arc of having been kidnapped and tortured... yeah lets just say they aren't doing so well. Quite a few things they were paranoid about have been validated, they are in constant agony from their missing face chunk and they have developed multiple substance addictions from being force fed pills. Their safety is now totally and utterly out of their hands and I think its kind of broken them a little bit, they are so miserable and hopeless that its kind of wrapped back around. To put it simply they definitely have some Stockholm syndrome going on.
Fizzy takes care of them, Fizzy helps feed them, Fizzy makes sure they don't bleed to death after Chaos hurts them.
Chaos likes(?) their company, Chaos gives them happy pills, Chaos doesn't kill them.
In a very twisted way Fizzy and Chaos are all that they have, and the only people who still care about them.
As for the photo:
it doesn't say anything in particular, its meant to be incoherent nonsense but if I remember correctly its "No" "Yakuza?" "Could be" "Spies?" "Maybe"
#yhs#yandere high school#yhs reboot#yhs bunny#On the Chaos' character not killing mine I am honestly so obsessed#The deal Chaos made with Fizzy was explicitly that Chaos could not kill Fizzy as long as I am still alive#Note that the deal does not say Chaos cannot kill me#Also note that Chaos' character fucking d.e. s.p.i.s.e.s being trapped this way#Chaos wants Fizzy DEAD canonically Chaos told me this themself#But they literally dont because they love torturing me soooo much#They literally refuse to kill me even though it would only benefit them in every way#All because they like my company('my company' being code for them torturing me LOLOLOL)#anyway I am so normal about our characters(lying)#Fun bonus: Bunny's default handwriting literally looks like they are going insane even when the contents are totally normal#Their grocery lists look straight out of a horror movie- writing sideways and upsidedown crammed onto napkins in chicken scratch handwritin

I havenāt interacted with the MLB fandom in years. I never watched past the third season. This being said, it was technically the fandom that got me into fandoms, so I have an attachment to it. And you know what? I need fics where Marinette is having fun being challenged. Like, all of Lilaās canon bs is just so easy to unravel with a few phone calls. I need a fic of these two girls playing 5d chess with extra ethos while every single other character is at least mostly lost. Because yk what? I grew up with this baby and I need her to grow up with me. I would like blood and mind games please. If Marinette is interested romantically in anyone it better not be Adrien because he needs to sort his shit out. Anyway this got away from me and itās a silly thing, but my point remains. I need Marinette to fuck shit up IMMEDIATELY. And you know sheās gonna be good at it. Iām not asking for a Mary Sue type Marinette (even though she already fits that character type but thatās a different conversation), Iām asking for a Marinette that lives up to what she could be. Yeah.
#marinette dupain cheng#miraculous ladybug#marinette deserves better#Marinette is a badass man#she deserved better#lila rossi#gay#DO YOU HEAR ME#BLOOD AND MIND GAMES#I DONT FORGIVE GABRIEL AGRESTE AND HIS MURDER TANTRUMS OKAY#AND I THINK MAYBE THATS ALRIGHT#LET MARINETTE FUCK SHIT UP!!!#Yeah thatās all I got#<3#Really quickly I want to clear up that Marinette should at no point be mean#At least on purpose#Marinette wants to be good. Thatās a fundamental part of her.#She doesnāt want to kill or hurt anyone#nor should she want to#But cmon man. She needs enrichment#She needs a healthy villain hero dynamic#Sheās a baby okay#All of them are babies#None of these LITERAL CHILDREN deserve that harsh of a punishment#I donāt hate Adrien. I donāt hate any of these literal high school children#But Marinette needs to like. Have a break with a nice villain who recognizes the balance#And not an angsty white rich dude who recognizes that this girl is AT MOST 16 and still throws her around like a beach ball#Let this girl#the ONLY COMPETENT girl#let her have fun

pet peeve is when a story tells us something is aberrant, but it seems to matter more about who does the behavior than the behavior itself. rorschach in snyder's watchmen isn't going too far; we watch nite owl and silk spectre ii snap necks and arms with gleeful, loving abandon, in slow motion no less, while they lecture the audience about rorschach's violence. heroes frequently torture the plot contrivance out of a villain and then moralize to the camera when the villains do the same. indominus rex's killing spree doesn't shock or appall me; all the jurassic world dinosaurs act like mindless killing machines, and the camera lingers, rapturous, on their cruelty. it's not an outlier. there's nothing interesting about it beyond as a set piece.
in a better script, the indominus rex would have had pathos; a chimera made for entertainment, for profit, stitched together with no regard for itself and placed in a lonely box. a freak among freaks. of course it would be mad. but the film wasn't interested in it as an animal, or a character, only as a moving piece of scenery for people to scream at or breathe tensely while it can clearly smell and reach them but doesn't, because it isn't a character and doesn't have motivations.
it's just sort of boring, i suppose. it tries like all other empty drab things do to cover it with bombast and roaring and soaring brassy scores but it's just sort of dull. a sprawl of nothing.
conversely peele's nope is a transcendent monster movie, imo, because it thinks about the the whys and hows, how jean jacket perceives the world, how the world perceives her, and lets that shape the narrative as much as jupe or emerald or gordy. they consulted biologists and behaviorists, digging into the meat of it. the creature as a camera as an animal as a device. nope has layers. it takes its own insane premise seriously, and has something to say, and is a goddamn good movie. i forgot where i was going with this.
#always rattling that quote from peele about the difference between horror and comedy being a matter of timing#creature horror is my favorite horror and most of it is Bad but i love it. sometimes you strike genuine gold and other times. well.#drives me crazy when monsters behave only in ways meant to be scary rather than how a real living thing would act. you can do both.#i remember hearing about a woman attacked by a moose in her own back yard. it gored and stomped her then left back into the woods#a few minutes later as she tried to crawl away it came back and attacked her again. terrifying! for no purpose!#a prey animal attack is often more frightening and vicious than a predator's imo#because to be eaten -- that carries its own logic. a prey animal though holds fear and rage and desperation in the core of it. it Knows.#a lion is a simple creature compared to a beef bull who just managed to corner the farmer against the fence#unlike say movie monsters continuing to chase and kill and attack while a volcano goes off around them and literally burns them to death#don't get me started on the icy swimming feathered raptor#also the goddamn dimetrodon in the caves like. i have never seen a beast less suited for a goddamn cave. why is it acting like that.#the book jurassic park goes into the behaviors and dynamics and such of the dinosaurs and what it means that we made them and why#using the cutting edge of science to craft both story and its monsters#but the franchise is dreadfully incurious#as many franchises end up being in the end#frog croaks#i guess i wanted to complain about the jurassic world franchise specifically actually#i haven't read crichton since high school. maybe i should revisit and see if my opinion holds lol

I have decided that i am going to drop out of high school as soon as i know how to. I have been completely burned out and i am literally getting worse because of school. Also I donāt feel safe being in public(already didnāt but this election has made it very obvious that I canāt trust anyone and so many people are out to get me). My mental illnesses are getting worse as the days go by snd school is making it impossible for me to recover and actively causing them to get worse. I went from being near the top of all classes before high school but ever since i have been slowly slipping until just year where i completely fell to the absolute bottom and am now failing everything with low fās. I hate how much stress my parents put on me. They literally blame me for my bad grades and are like just do the assignments. I wish i could force myself to but i canāt for so many reasons. I am actively getting worse day by day and i can feel it. I am slipping away faster and faster as the days go on and if i donāt slow it now there will be no future me so either i destroy my future and possibly have a better life or i end myself snd suffer every single second until i do. I am not getting into college and havenāt even tried to apply because i donāt have the energy to and have crippling anxiety that i will fail and just waste even more of my parents money. My parents wonāt pay for like hrt or any of the gender affirming surgeries even tho they would make me suffer less snd it isnāt like we canāt afford them. My dad makes enough to afford them multiple times over in one year even with the more expensive ones. I am pissed. Also like my mom comparing me wanting those stuff to that one person who got tons of surgeries to look Korean. And neither my parents call me by my name. They both call me my deadname even tho it very clearly makes me suffer. They will have a dead daughter if they continue their stuff. The insane thing is they are completely supportive of other trans people just not me. I am fucked. I donāt have a future and have even less of one as the days go by. I am going to try and drop out as soon as i can and try not to tell my parents until i have to because they will l be mad at me and angry that i am ādestroying your futureā. My future is already destroyed

interesting question to ask your normie liberal/conservative acquaintances: would you rather have socialism or fascism? or for slightly less charged words you can rephrase as: would you rather vote for the far left or the far right? Very very telling!
#iso.txt#i remember people in my high school talking about it and almost unanimously saying the far right (the rest were like āequally badā)#meanwhile i was standing likeš§#tbc this wasnt everyone in my school just a couple of my classmates talking about it lol#but that was so insane to me??#like those guys literally want to kill some of your friends but apparently thats better than having the means seized or whatever

An unofficial, very personal to my tastes, and unnecessary ranking of all of the songs in Nerdy Prudes Must Die
(typed on my laptop so you know shit's real)
I think it goes without saying this is all my opinion. All of the songs are genuinely good, even the ones I donāt love/like! That being said, hereās my ranking just because Iāve been thinking about this a little bit and I want to put it outside my brain.
15: Dirty Dudes Must Die Look, I get it. Itās a twist, itās a time for Angela to slay. Thatās all good and fine. I just donāt love the placement and it didnāt feel like an ending to me. That being said, ādarkness will save my soulā goes HARD.
14: The Best of You People keep putting this high up, which I respect, but I canāt resonate with. Someone said it felt very DCOM to them, and I think that might be why I donāt love it; it just feels really tonally different, and not in the way that Just for Once is thatās a clear differentiation for a whole slew of reasons. Itās a totally fine song, I just donāt love it as a fake-out closer. It just doesnāt work for my brain.
13: Cool as I Think I Am (Reprise) I love a sad reprise as much as anyone else; for some reason, this one just really doesnāt vibe with me. No thoughts about why, I just always skip the last three songs on the soundtrack because I donāt love them.
12: Go Go Nighthawks Okay, so weāve finally gotten past the songs that I just donāt like lol. I actually really like this song! I think itās cute tonally and it gets off the really artificial and saccharine world thatās about to come crumbling down. Also, the āsquawk squawkā always gets stuck in my head for some reason. Itās only this low because itās not one that Iād put on repeat.
11: The Summoning Someoneās going to dox me for this, but I really donāt love The Summoning as a whole number. It goes hard, donāt get me wrong; I actually ADORE everything before the Lords of Black come in. Mariah, Angela, and Joeyās vocals blend SO beautifully, and the ensemble whispers are HAUNTING. I love, love, love it. The rest of the song is still awesome and I get why people like it, but I donāt love it until the ensemble comes back in towards the end. I also donāt love the start-and-stop of it; if they were going to do that, I feel like keeping everything singing wouldāve worked better? I just feel a bit like the energy falters a little. That being said, I still really really like this song.
10: Just for Once Iām a sucker for this genre of musical; my favorite musicals are almost all from this era, and I really like this song on the soundtrack. I donāt actually love it in the show, but I really appreciate it as a number on the soundtrack. It made me understand Ruth a lot more (I liked her before, but I really GOT her after), but I didnāt love how it fit into the show at first, I think because Laurenās vocals are a little different on the soundtrack compared to the proshot. A banger!
9: Cool as I Think I Am Itās a solid act one number! Iām actually fairly neutral about it, but I still love the way it sounds so itās higher just because Iām more likely to put it on repeat. I also just love this occurrence of āIām not a loserā and its later recurrence.
8: Bury the Bully Everyone seems to not like this and bully the bully??? I really like these songs; I think theyāre super catchy and theyāre a great comedic song for Angela to really get Grace into our hearts (more than she already was). This oneās only lower because I prefer the way the lyrics flow in bully the bully.
7: Bully the Bully I could listen to this song for literal years. I love it so much. Justice for bully the bully lol.
6: If I Loved You Iāve listened to this song SO MUCH. Firstly, Joey and Mariahās voices go together SO FUCKING WELL. Secondly, āsure, Iām a sapiosexual, youāre intellectual, but I cut my lover losses when I canā is not only one of my favorite lines in the show but it also SO BEAUTIFUL. I think this song is just a great addition to the second act, and I really love it.
5: Dirty Girl Okay, so I will admit: when I first watched the show, I skipped this song. And then, after I finished the show, I went back and listened. I was so wrong, yāall. This is not only a god tier song, itās also a great way to establish Graceās absolute fucking insanity alongside Maxās (also) fucking insanity. Graceās āIām a good girlās are such a good addition to the song and her character. I really, really love this song, and I think itās a great place to start for my top five lol.
4: Hatchet Town SOMEONEāS GOT THEIR HAND ON THE HATCHET HANDLE SWINGING ON THE YOUTH ITāS A HATCHET SCANDAL CAREFUL OR YOUR FOLKS WILL END UP A CANNIBALāS PLATE IT AINāT GREAT YOUāRE BETTER ON THE RUN THAN YOU ARE HIDING SUDDENLY THIS QUIET TOWNāS EXCITING
God tier lyricism genuinely and it sounds sO GOOD. I love a āand hereās what the town thinksā song, and this is a great one that goes SO HARD. The chorus sets the tone so well. As I told my friend, itās like if the Riverdale adults got a musical number, and I LOVE that.
3: High School is Killing Me This, to me, is an example of a genuinely perfect modern musical opening number. It sets the mood of the show so well, and it comes back to haunt you as the show slowly kills off its characters in a way thatās so satisfying. Of course, Mariah and Joey are hitting it out of the park; for me, though, the real star of this song is the ensemble. In any show, my favorite character is the ensemble, and this song is a great example of why. Lauren and Jon do a great job introducing us to the world (and their voices together are beautiful, GOD), and the ensemble makes it feel lived in and sets you up for the whirlwind youāre about to go on. Also, the harmonies. MWAH. (Also, āa cesspool faux democracy, itās one hell of a normal abnormalityā has been stuck in my head since I heard it; one of my favorite lyrics in the show).
2: Nerdy Prudes Must Die Love when the bully comes to kill you but itās camp! Firstly, Willās voice is GORGEOUS. Genuinely, I want him to play every single high school bad guy in a musical; he does such a good job. I just adore this songās placement, tone, lyrics, sound, everything. I really love the way that āI could give two shits that you buried and left me, defiled my body, you pushed me off the edgeā sounds, plus obviously the entire will you pray for me bit, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENSEMBLE COMES IN. Also, Jonās absolutely fucking stuNNING āIāM NOT A LOSER.ā God, itās just so good. 100000/10.
1: Literal Monster I feel like this might be unpopular? But, I LOVE this song. Itās another one of those āand hereās what the town thinksā songs (in a way), the harmonies are beautiful, the GUITAR RIFFS, Willās voice, the way it sets up Maxās entire being and everyoneās relationship to him. I already liked the song before Will comes in, but his voice adds such a wonderful tonal shift to the song with the HUH HUHs and then he just really goes for it, and I love him for it. His āa predator of my size, cross your heart hope to die, you can watch as I rise, I will claim what is mineā is genuinely one of my favorite sounds of the year. MWAH, chefs kiss.
#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#this isn't even a tag i've used before#i don't think#i just literally haven't been able to do work to anything besides this soundtrack or the alice is missing playlist lmao#i wrote an entire ethics paper to if i loved you and high school is killing me#now i'm writing a paper for my performance theory class to literal monster and dirty dirty girl#my academics are just indebted to this musical now ig

katniss disliking eno and clove and being annoyed with glimmer is such a teenage girl thing to do by the way and i love that for her
#okay so let me explain#so like she sees the humanity in these people and has nothing against them and they just irk her#here's the thing about high school girls: a lot of them are... you know. Really fucking mean#and they grow out of it and don't hurt anyone they kinda just have like annoying attitudes you'll never vibe well with#so yeah katniss's response is 100% realistic#'do I like them? no. but they're human beings and no one else really needs to die' -> an excellent take#literally her thoughts when she was like 'uhm hey let's not kill eno she did nothing to me'#katniss everdeen
