tuesday again 11/5/2024
i am going to do my absolute fucking best to stay off the internet today. also the next time i write one of these i will be goddamn thirty. yeesh.
listening
it took three hours to make a normally brisk 50-minute trip back from the airport on sunday bc there were simply so many accidents. my phone wasn't charging, i was kind of locked into the one way i actually knew how to get home, it was pouring, and the only radio station that was reliably coming through was the local dad rock station.
youtube
i don't think i've ever actually heard this song all the way through before! i have of course heard the chorus in eight billion advertisements and trailers etc, but i tuned in right at the lyrics
I was a willow last night in my dream I bent down over a clear running stream Sang you the song that I heard up above And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love
big ren faire lady of shallott vibes.

reading
witch hat atelier, the first twelve volumes that are out in english anyway. let's yoink the setup from the fan wiki.
Coco, a girl living in a small village, had been dreaming of becoming a magician since little. But people who don't know how to use magic since birth are unable to become magicians, or witness the moment magic occurs. But one day, Coco accidentally saw Qifrey, a magician that was visiting the village casting a spell. Ecstatic to finally know how magic works, she tries it immediately and transforms her mother into a stone statue. With the help of Qifrey and his disciples, Coco will embark in a magical journey to save her mother.
this gets a lot of ghibli comparisons, and i get it-- there's a lot of concern about healing scars from a near-cataclysmic magical war, lots of contraptions, bucolic countryside, loving shots of food, etc. i think there is a focus on academia and cohort-building, and how networking is a profession all to itself, that we do not generally see in ghibli films. i think the comp pull should go beyond the aesthetics, as well, but ghibli is still a good comp-- the world of witch hat atelier is dangerous and can hurt or kill you, but it treats the reader's heart with the same care a ghibli movie will. things may not be happily ever after or go perfectly at all times, but there are no twists for the sake of twists, and it doesn't sneer or make fun of you for caring about a character. there are no whedonesque "well THAT happened!" moments. these characters are going to learn and grow and you will learn and grow along with them goddamnit. it is queer but incidentally queer. the folx side of the fags-folx spectrum will feel very welcome here but this is not a tenderqueer kind of gay book. characters are incidentally gay because of course they are, that's just how the world works, look at all the fullness of human expression you can encounter in your one short life, why NOT be gay
i did not expect this series to kickstart a fresh wave of grief for my own academic experience. coco leans on her cohort so much and they truly do work together to solve problems and come up with good solutions and i wish i had had that kind of astronomy experience. it's kind of cold comfort that i don't know and have never heard of a woman having a good astronomy experience.
witch hat atelier: very fun to sink into the details on a page (Kamome Shirahama knows how functional but pretty clothes work), endlessly charming veneer on a very taut game of political ethics happening in the grownups' background

watching
happy noirvember!!!
youtube
Another Man's Poison (1952, dir. Rapper) courtesy of Kanopy's little revolving carousel of new noir films.
An English mystery writer (Bette Davis) kills her husband, then tries to kill a man (Gary Merrill) posing as her husband.
In his review in New Statesman and Nation, Frank Hauser wrote "No one has ever accused Bette Davis of failing to rise to a good script; what this film shows is how far she can go to meet a bad one."
a plot that could only happen in a country where appearances are everything. i must agree with mr hauser and most of the critics of the time who said Huh???? to the script and basic premise. AND the ending is a little too pat. a breakneck ninety minutes filmed in three months where its stage play bones show. however i really like Bette Davis and it's so much fun to watch Bette Davis pace around an English manor house like a caged tiger.

making
deep cleaned my entire house. drove three hundred miles this weekend to pick up my sister and her friend from the airport, go to the ren faire, come back from the ren faire, and take them back to the airport. houston delivered to me some of the worst fucking driving experiences i have ever had here. really upsetting torrential downpour for nearly an hour on a road with no shoulder to speak of.
the actual ren faire was fun! i did not realize how vital a chair or bench with a fucking back was to my rest and recovery. it was nice to go with fellow adults and not help wrangle several small children, as fun as a kid-friendly experience can be. got my overpriced gyro for the year. got my bootleg anime merch for the year. wish it hadn't rained but i feel very smug for packing enough umbrellas and ponchos.
#tuesday again#tuesday again no problem#listen this one's a little light but i am experiencing The Horrors

originally I thought the voice changing thing in Be Born was Heart trying to take back control or fight Mind's influence, but tbh that doesnt make sense if he literally JUST resigned himself in the song prior (The Heart Acoustic), and said he wanted to see how Mind would fare. i doubt he would want to take back control anytime soon.
and since the song is about Mind trying to convince Heart to get over his depression and keep writing songs with him despite whatever sadness he feels, his message would be kinda redundant if Heart was just parroting Mind the entire time and seemingly agreeing with him. like, the point is Mind is trying to explain his reasoning, and even if he's somehow able to force Heart to sing along with him, then why would he even bother explaining? like he could just make him sing and be done with it, but he can't because it's not that simple, he is actively trying to CONVINCE Heart to sing with him, and it's not working.
i think Heart only bites back/speaks up again during Storm and a Spring, to mock Mind and his claims of wanting to keep making music he "loves", and he does it with a very clear, strong, and notably undistorted voice. (on a similar note, i dont think it's even remotely Soul in Be Born cus he kinda disappears after the beginning of Cacaphony and doesnt come back until with a bang with The Soul Eclectic, I doubt he would join Mind in berating Heart when he's the one that most wants them to get along)
and although i mentioned the black words/white background thing as Mind's signature (which is true) it is still inconsistent across pre-Light lyric videos since the entire lore was developed alongside the album. Just Apathy and Ruler of Everything notably has it flipped (Heart w the black lettering and Mind w the white lettering) when it shouldn't be. but what remains consistent, even in those songs, are when a different character starts singing, the background switches to follow their voice. which is not the case for Be Born. it stays white with black lettering, only briefly glitching at times, but NOT at the parts where "Heart" supposedly sings.
In other songs, Heart also has moments where his supposed "normal" voice distorts, though not as majorly as Mind's, very notably in The Bidding during the "Here he is the piece of shit/Sitting seething high atop his stolen throne" or "We've been here like a thousand times" where it almost sounds like it's coming through a radio. Heart and Mind are more similar than they like to admit, given they are different sides of the same person, so it makes sense that their voices can become more clear or more distorted, just like their other half's. it makes sense that they...
...have the same voice. okay yeah it's like a no shit moment cus yeah of course it is indeed just Chonny Jash putting on different voices for each of his characters based off him. but the point is they sound so similar that even after learning their distinctions/differences, the audience still mistakes one for another. it further blurs the lines of where these characters start and end, and just how similar they are, which connects to the point of the album's journey. it is interesting to think about what it implies for a character like Mind, when his voice reverts back to "normal", or Heart, when his voice becomes distorted.
tldr: every part in "Heart's" voice during Be Born could just be Mind himself, voice bugging and glitching bc he's unstable, reverting to a similar, maybe even weaker version of Heart's (or Whole's, technically) voice. maybe it's not so much Heart trying to fight Mind's influence as much as Mind trying to fight off Heart's influence in the song. or something.
anyway long story short, yayy new headcanon has Been Born(aha) yayy!! Minds voice is pathetically weak and he tries his best to cover it up w his voice modulator. idiot.
wait. i might sound super fucking stupid but is there any chance be born is just really just mind singing by himself
nowhere was it stated heart or soul sang in the song too, iirc it's just common for ppl to speculate on which of them is singing. even in the lyric video (where in the description chonny jokes about releasing the songs in the wrong order, meaning he already had a good idea of the lore/characters) there is only black lettering upon a white background, which is mind's signature. what if the voice changing is just the equivalent of voice cracking for mind. have we ever thought about that. this is highly embarrassing for him
#im gonna make a new tag for#cccc analysis#bc i love analyzing chonny jash i should do it more often#i dont think theres a definitive answer to anything i speculate on btw#like if u have a dif idea/interpretation about this song i wholeheartedly support it dw#chonny jash made his shit cryptic and vague and refused to elaborate so its all fair game#anyway i also suspect other songs have something similar going on like the whole world and you#i suspect its not just whole and mind singing in it but heart and soul as well. it is the four's “finale” after all#but thats a post for another day

To celebrate one year of Unreal Unearth I am listening to it (and the EPs) and wanted to share my favorite lyrics from each song. Fellow Hozier fans, please feel free to add yours! 🖤🪱
Through Me (The Flood)
But try measure loss,
Measure the silence of a house,
The unheard footsteps at the doorway,
The unemployment of the mouth,
The waking up having forgotten,
And remembering again the full extent of what forever is.
De Selby (Part 1)
But still the mind rejecting this new empty space,
Fills it with something or someone,
No closer could I be to God
Or why he would do what he's done
De Selby (Part 2)
What you're given
What you live in
Darling it finds a way to live in you
And your heart, love
Has such darkness
I feel it in the corners of the room
First Time
These days I think I owe my life to flowers
That were left here by my mother
Ain't that like them, gifting life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowing either sight nor sound
'Til reaching up for sunlight
Just to be ripped out by the stem
Sensing only now it's dying
Drying out, then drowning
Blindly blooming forth its every color
In the moments it has left;
To share the space with simple living things
Infinitely suffering but fighting off,
Like all creation,
The absence of itself
Anyway...
Francesca
Now that it's done
There's not one thing that I would change
My life was a storm
Since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?
I, Carrion (Icarian)
You have me floating like a feather on the sea
While you're as heavy as the world
That you hold your hands beneath
Once I wondered what was holding up the ground
But I can see that all along, love
It was you all the way down
Eat Your Young
It's a kindness, Highness
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal
Damage Gets Done (ft. Brandi Carlile)
All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young
Who We Are
You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else's dream
How can something be so much heavier
But so much less than what it seems?
Darling, we sacrificed
We gave our time to something undefined
This phantom life sharpens like an image
But it sharpens like a knife
Son of Nyx
...
(It's an instrumental track of course but it's stunning and absolutely worth listening to! I can't leave it out)
All Things End
I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault
But we've gone long enough to know this isn't what we want
And that isn't always bad
When people say that something is forever
Either way it ends
To Someone From A Warm Climate (Uiscefhuaraithe)
And I wish I could say
That the river of my arms have found the ocean
And I wish I could say the cold lake water of my heart
Christ, it's boiling over
Butchered Tongue
So far from home
To have a stranger call you "darling"
And have your guarded heart
Be lifted like a child up by the hand
In some town that just means
"Home" to them
With no translator left to sound
A butchered tongue
Still singing here above the ground
Anything But
In a shot I'd swap my body for a body of water
Worry the cliffside top as a wave crashing over
I'd lower the world in a flood or better yet I'd cause a drought
If I was a riptide,
I wouldn't take you out
Abstract (Psychopomp)
Sometimes there's a thought
Like you choose what you're doing,
But it comes to nought
When I look back through it
I remember the view
Street lights in the dark blue
The moment I knew
I'd no choice but to love you
Unknown/Nth
Do you know, I could break beneath the weight
Of the goodness love I still carry for you
That I'd walk so far just to take
The injury of finally knowing you
First Light
And I can scarce believe what I'm believing in
Could this be how every day begins?
Too Sweet
I aim low
I aim true and the ground is where I go
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever babe?
Wildflower and Barley (ft. Allison Russell)
(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healing)
This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are digging the earth)
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
Empire Now
After all darling, I wouldn't sell the world
For all the gold or sterling
If it falls, I would hold on for all its worth
The future so bright it's burning
Fare Well
Joy, disaster, come unbound here
I'll deny me none while I'm allowed
With all things above the ground
Nobody's Soldier
Sick to my skin
Watching the news again
Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run
Paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one
July
Put in all of that time, only to find
By the end that your God has flown
Or all alone he sank like a stone
Took root where he fell and started to grow
That You Are (ft. Bedouine)
Every moment of the working day
The twitching muscles in each step I take
The prayer is all of me
That I'd be anywhere that you are, that you are
#his lyrics are just the best I love these songs so much#can't believe it's been a year they still feel so new they never get old!!#Unreal Unearth#Eat Your Young#Unheard#Unaired#Hozier#long post#after making this post. can confirm the songs can still make me cry even though I listen to them all the time#SUCH a beautiful album. what a joy.#so grateful for the EPs too that's 8 songs we might have never heard he gave us 😭

Headcanon #400: Heart & Mind are usually never a neutral temperature. The area around them is like the sun & moon. Mind's being hot and Hearts being cold. They're body temperatures however contrast that with Mind always feeling cold like metal/machinery and Heart feeling warm like a literal heart.
[more in tags :}]
#chonny jash#cj heart#cj mind#cj soul#depending on how negative or positive they feel makes it either a comfortable temp or an uncomfortable/unbearable temp#also feel like when they're more mutually chill with eachother [like in Light & We're Gonna Win]#they're still opposite temps but coexisting together#like perfect example is a spring & a storm [literal wise not just the songs]#spring being a nice warm breeze & maybe some very light rain. so together its a nice combo & its not too intense to make a storm#and then on the other hand#the storm being the two clashing & even making a tornado since the temperatures & winds are fight so much#the end of StAAS especially is vry musically stormy/tornado like with how the tempo gets faster & their lyrics clashing together too#[which btw chonny added in the tempo speeding up cos that's not in the og & I LOVE that detail SO much]#and then during THA it becomes an uncomfy cold and as Be Born & the beginning of StAAS its an almost unbearable cold#Heart gives up control to Mind so its like if a body *literally* lost its heart#as StAAS gets through its becoming warmer from Mind & then there's the storm feel at the end#TME starts annoyingly hot & gets worse & worse as the song progresses [also kinda like a computer is overheating]#TSE [and also just Soul in general] is neither. a very empty feeling even#since Soul is the shell/vessel [Whole without his Mind & Heart] he has no temperature at all. bro is just empty feeling#at best [or worst] Soul will be a sucky inbetween. if he feels cold & puts on a thicker coat he gets too warm.#if it's too hot. it'll just wear a t shirt but then it gets too cold [kinda like having the flu/a cold]#anyways the bidding is a harsh swapping between the two. changing between who's singing#the duet bit with M&H is similar to the storm but just circling winds that aren't as violent#by Two Wuv & VoaC its much more neutral and peaceful with Soul being able to feel the positive parts to the others temperatures#but thats enough inane ranting#i like the temperature idea can you tell?#most of this idea i got months ago from thinkin more about how the end of StAAS is like a literal storm lol#the og already had fun instruments swelling & stuff that made it have a storm vibe but CJ went ham on his#i love StAAS mayhaps a lil bit

Back at it again with a sad song to relate to these characters!!!!
This is so!!!! This is so Alex to Jay, or at least how he would want to be to him under better circumstances. Or at least that’s how I saw it.
https://youtu.be/R2zXxQHBpd8?si=-VKZo5PAshjGBfQM
Song is: will he by Joji
you're so right. This is so alex wishing he'd been able to be better to jay. (tho there's also an argument that jay also needed to be better to alex, and cos sorry its locked is all jays pov so far i haven't been able to show that he was also pretty bad for alex just like alex was bad for him. neither of them are the good guy, neither of them are purely a victim, neither of them are purely a 'villain' -can't think of the right word so villain will have to do-)
anyway, analysis thingy
I got knots all up in my chest (Up in my chest, up in my chest) Just know, I'm trying my best (I'm trying my best) 'Cause when you look (When you look) When you laugh (When you laugh) When you smile (When you smile) I'll bring you back (Bring you back) And now I'm sad (Now I'm sad) And I'm a mess (And I'm a mess) And now we high (Now we high) That's why I left (Why I left) That's why I left (Woo)
Pretty simple, just Alex thinking about Jay and how much he really did like him. But Alex was a mess and left Jay for Amy because he didn't know how to cope with his feelings (and with some other stuff I haven't written yet, but i'm ignoring that just so this song will fit with what's already actually out there for this fic)
Will your tongue still remember the taste of my lips? (My lips, my lips, my lips) Will your shadow remember the swing of my hips? (My hips, my hips, my hips) Will your lover caress you the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) Will you notice my charm if he slips up one bit? (One bit)
Again, Alex thinking about Jay. But also, Alex realising that Tim and Jay are together now from watching the videos Jay uploads, he's watched them slowly get closer, and then one entry something changes and Alex knows that Jay has "moved on". Alex wonders whether Tim hold and kisses Jay the way he did that last night he and Jay were together, and he wonders if Jay thinks of him when Tim messes up. He calls it his 'charm' kinda sarcastically, because he's just kinda caught up in hating himself for what he had to do.
Because unlike in uni (their uni relationship was complicated, i promise I'll write it eventually, just know that Jay did some bad stuff just like Alex did), this time Alex was the only person in the wrong for hurting Jay like he did in chapter 2 of Sorry It's Locked.
'Cause I don't need to know I just wanna make sure you're okay (Okay) I don't need to know I just wanna make sure you're all safe All safe, all safe (woo)
Alex doesn't really want to know if he's left Jay with shit from everything that happened around entry 47 (in chapter 1 and 2), he doesn't want to confirm for himself that he hurt Jay so bad that he's been left with lasting emotional shit. He just wants to know that Jay's okay, that he's safe, but every entry Jay posts just confirms over and over again that Jay is not safe, every entry posted just reminds Alex that everything he did to try and drive Jay away and make him give up on finding out what's wrong with Alex and what's going on with the whole Operator thing.
Everything Alex did was for nothing. He hurt Jay for no reason, and sure, he couldn't have known it at the time, but in his little moments of clarity he realizes that he could have done something else. He could have talked to Jay, he could have asked for help, he could have explained what was going on. He didn't have to hurt him, but he did, and it didn't even achieve what he'd wanted it to. If anything, it just made everything worse because now Jay's got someone else involved.
Will he play you those songs just the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) Will he play you so strong just the way that I did? (I did) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Will he treat you like shit just the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) 'Cause I don't blame you
Again, Alex thinking about their relationship, both their uni relationship and their one night stand in chapter 1. He knows Tim and Jay are together now and he can't help wondering what their relationship is like, since they keep it completely off camera except for the odd hickey just barely peeping out from under a shirt collar etc.
He can't help almost hoping that Tim treats Jay like shit, and he hates himself for it, he just wishes he could have Jay for himself but he knows he can't. Do you know what I mean. Like, he doesn't actively wish harm on Jay, and he's constantly trying to think of ways to keep Jay safe and alive, but he also can't help feeling jealous of Tim and wishing he'd treat Jay badly so that Alex could swoop in and 'save' Jay. He knows if that happened though, and Jay would shy away from him too, he wouldn't go running into Alex's arms, he'd just be angry at and scared of both of them and would probably do something stupid and get himself killed.
'Cause I don't need to know I just want to make sure you're okay (Okay) I don't need to know I just want to make sure you're all safe
Same as before, in the end, Alex just wants Jay to be okay, he want's to make up for everything he's done by finding a way to make sure Jay lives, to make sure he doesn't have to kill him.
#Just. god. them#I both love and hate sorry it's locked so much. So fucking much. I need to give Jay and Alex a hug and then fucking yeet them at therapy#they need therapy#they're so fucked up and i love them#why did i do this to them?#marble hornets#jay merrick#tim wright#alex kralie#marble hornets fanfic#jaylex#mh sorry its locked#song ask#lyric analysis i guess#God they're my babies#i NEED to make Alex such a sympathetic character#you NEED to know that as much of a dick as he is. Jay was also shitty back in college and that lead to why their relationship is this way#and now in MH times alex isnt really able to think clearly. That doesnt make it better but it sure as hell explains his thinking#and makes it so you realise that he really is trying his best to save jay. he just goes about it the wrong way#and that's destroying him from the inside#God the plans I have for these fuckers

working in an art gallery and talking to a lot of full time artists has given me CRAZY imposter syndrome btw lmao
#i went to a local gallery today (not the one i work in)#and i was looking at this one artists work#and she used a lot of patterns but didnt go up to her#she came up to me as i was looking at her work like ' hi i see youre looking at my work which one do u like most' like okay#i had my headphones on at the time so it did scare me#anyway im really stuck thinking about her work#like shes got this lovely cluttered and messy and chaotic style with still life in one dimension#and she uses pattern and quilt-like grids and so much colour#and the chaos of her work is by far the best part#how nothing stays in their boxes andeverythings falling#its homely and DRAMATIC. which is a mix that doesnt always go together but is held together by the chaos of her work#AND THEN SHE PUTS COLLAGE QUOTES ON IT 'fly high in the sky like a butterfly'#AUUUGGGHHH it pisses me off so much. REALLY? THATS THE BEST QUOTE? no song lyrics no deepp meaning nothing to express the narrative? bitch#love her style but its KITCH shes KITCH her quotes are KITCH her subjects are KITCH <- lives in kitch central of the uk but WHATEVER#by the way im not exagerrating with fly high like a butterfly she really thought that was the quote to describe this chaotic scene like she#eight years old like what the hell. there ere others too the pissed me off#and then i talked to her and she was like. WEIRDLY insistant tht even though she used stencils and that her dughter and husbnd drew anythin#mildly complicated that she had still done a lot of work I HADNT SAID ANYTHING#but she was just BRUSHING OVER whenever i mentioned her patterns and stencils like she was ASHAMED#like what the hell im all for having fun with what you draw but youre three times my age and i can draw a bird better than our adult daught#also i spoke to her turns out she knows my stepdad so that was an odd link but whatever#anyway artists that give me imostersyndrome are my boss who does realism in WATERCOLOUR#oh the woman in the gallery also gave me a printed card whcih was cool since i was going to buy one just to be mad at

i just came across ai covers on youtube and people are requesting songs in the comments instead of getting enraged and i am further losing hope in humanity and turning to misanthropy
#meins#for a minute i got really excited about henning may singing take me to church :(#i hate people#have you no appreciation for or understanding of art? clearly not.#why would you want to listen to an ai generated song? even if it sounds like your favourite singer it's not them#it has no feelings to meaning to intention. it is empty and soulless#reading the booklet for sinéad o'connor's album of traditional irish and folk songs gave me so much appreciation for her#she wrote a little bit about each song. why she chose it or what it means to her.#it has added so much to my enjoyment of those songs and i think of it whenver i listen to it#they were chosen with intention with love with a deep appreciation for the music and lyrics and there is a story behind it all#it is art and love and human#i see aboslutely no appeal in ai generated 'music' or 'art'#and i hate that i fell for it for a minute#i was sceptical because i had never heard of henning may covering hozier and since it wasn't just 20-60 sec i am certain#i would have heard about it by now#and something was just a little bit... unsatisfying? something was missing which does apply to a lot of cover songs#(i could go on hour long rants about why people fuck up danny boy (and sinéad o'connor does it best (because she actually takes her time)#or trash madonna's version of don't cry for me argentina (again a song ruined for by everybody else but sinéad - once she has sung somethin#i have a hard time enjoying it by anybody else. the parting glass is an exception. hozier's version is phenomenal))#but! henning may not giving it his all for a cover? unlikely. very unlikely.#anyway this concludes my tuesday night rant. rather here in the tags than some poor person's inbox.#or i would have kept fuming by myself for another hour or two

Song of the Day: May 4
"The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones" by The Mountain Goats
#song of the day#happy star wars day! I was delighted as always by the lovely art and gifsets. a fine community celebration#I absolutely have to go to sleep though. did not sleep my six unbroken hours as hoped. perhaps tomorrow#but before I sleep I simply had to deliver today's song#I love this song so fucking much. Duncan does get sick of it but I shan't be swayed. best song. an endless delight#ohhh the temptation to have the lyrics for the day be 'bones bones bones bones bones'#it wouldn't be fair. there's no topping that#'do your best in city or in swampland / peace over anger; honor over hate#at the end of all your days / one jedi waits for you / with the dust of jedi bones piled up like parsnips on his plate#with the dust of jedi bones piled high like parsnips on his plate#--specifically just their bones / all the soft parts you can keep / it's the bones that have the calcium so he says'#ahhh I've never been so tempted to just put the whole song down. please go listen#if you never take another song rec from me please take this one. I honestly cannot imagine enjoying my blog but not this song#(bones bones bones bones bones)

top 10 workouts for every murder time trio fan out there: dancing while singing each of xxtha's mtt songs (AUDGAHHHHHH IVE WAITED FOR THIS DAY FOR MY WHOLE LIFE)
#nobody but me understands#these 3 songs are now my favorite songs srsly#theyre all so amazing#and the lyrics are VANSON!!!! CANON(ISH) YES!!!!!#canon mtt songs......#nfhsnaaaaaaaa dies#triglycercule is gonna have a field day with this#that i am. that i am#the way that dust's song is called eye to eye#and his song constantly repeats that phrase because he became something similar to the human#but horror's is also more like how DARE YOU vibes. and also line about his own eye getting taken#and killer's is more like he literally cant see at all eye to eye with anybody and they cant see eye to eye with him#none of them will ever relate to eachother. because killer doesn't have the capacity with all his own issues#and horror doesnt think anyone would fully understand him or be worthy of. and dust just knows his situation is too crazy to relate to#aOg!nbn hugs them close to my chest. you three dont know just how similar you all are to eachother#if you just stopped being so paranoid and defensive and more forgiving you could all bond so well.........#but THEY DONT and thats what makes them so good. they cant because that would first mean forgiving themselves#and all of them hate themselves too much to ever think of doing that to another version of themself#the best thing ever made by the gods was making the murder time trio all originate from classic#it gives them SO many parallels its unbelievably amazing i love#continuation group my beloved. this is why they are the continuation group#in sorry these songs are making me bust a move and crash out from excitement I LOVE THIS#FINALLY FINALLY I HAVE SONGS FOR ALL THE TRIO!!!! YES!!!!!! DXUAGAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA#tricule rant

i love when i listen to music while washing dishes and a song will come on that makes me stop everything just to put a reminder for later in my drafts to look up the lyrics to understand it more thoroughly
#me#russ has me doing this almost constantly#i love his lyrics so much#and if the lyrics aren't online i will just study the song as best i can and type them out myself#just so i can read and listen at the same time

Matt describing Revolt as "leading a revolution, but in the style of a Broadway musical" makes everything make sense. That explains the slight sheen on the song, vocals and guitars: there's just a bit of campness in this revolution. Of fucking course. Because it's scripted and led by Muse!
#Matt really isn't a dark guy; even when he's exploring dark themes#there's just a defiant glimmer of hope in everything he does#If we're going out we're going out with all the glory and fun we can: see Knights; and now I can say see Revolt. It makes so much sense now#I suppose that's also what makes something like We Are Fucking Fucked now such a punch to the gut: there isn't a glam edge to it#(thematically/lyrically. Of course musically there still is: can't remember which mag reviewing it called it the most joyous 'we are doomed#song—they're right). There is still fight and resistance in it but there's no revelation in the resistance. That's still the case in Revolt#and that (literally after listening to it one way for EIGHT YEARS) changes the whole song for me now#muse band#matt bellamy#muse#muse interviews#Muse Drones#Revolt Muse#2015#John Kennedy#X-Posure#Radio X#Drones era#I fucking love John Kennedy he brings out the best in his interviewees. He's so good. Such a professional and a calm warm inviting host.#Muse band#muse quotes#a broadway revolution is so Muse... remember when Matt (last year) said they could write 1984: The Musical? It's them it's Muse!#bands that REMEMBER the role of theatre in performance and art

went to see the aces yesterday which first of all they were amazing it was my first time going to a concert w lesbian music and it was very special to me (also the lead singer was so sexy btw js 😩) but ANYWAY. i asked my friend if she wanted to go w me & she had never listened to them before but she said she would and i sent her some of their music to listen to etc etc. so like we went to the concert it was great and afterwards she told me she thought it was boring and she didn’t like the music. which was kind of crazy to me bc it’s like indie pop/rock music and like as someone who does not enjoy the majority of indie music bc i find it boring their music is not boring 😭 so first of all i find that offensive. second of all she was like well if you find a concert from x artists then i would enjoy that and she listed like three artists to me one of which was taylor swift and i was like. yeah where am i gonna get taylor swift tickets lmfao. but the other artist she listed (i don’t remember the third one she said lol) i just looked up his music and i’m legit like 😭😭😭 first of all this man looks like he just finished hibernating for the winter and crawled out of the cave into the sun for the first time in months. second of all. that’s also what his music sounded like. my point being that going to this man’s concert while he strums a single guitar in a flannel shirt and jeans would be a million times more boring than watching women having fun on stage and singing abt lesbianism idk call me crazy………it’s like i would find it more understandable if it was at LEAST interesting music………
#michelle speaks#& i said to her well you prob would’ve enjoyed it more if u knew the songs#& she looked at me like i was legit crazy & was like i knew the lyrics they repeated them#i was like. just bc you get what’s being said doesn’t mean you know the song like that’s not what i mean…..#like i’m sure i’d enjoy a concert of that man if i knew his songs at least even if i didn’t really like them#at least somewhat even if it wasn’t the best time of my life#bc part of what makes a concert fun is being able to sing along…..like ur going to at least enjoy it more if u do#also she did not like violet by hole. how do you as a woman not enjoy violet by hole. omggggggggg#but like u know if she didn’t like the music that’s fine like w/e but she was making it so obvious to me that she didn’t#like i was like what did u think and she was like um. it was good. u know. and i was like oh so you didn’t like it#& she immediately was like i didn’t want to say but it was so boring and i was like. ok. u didn’t have to actually.#it did just annoy me bc it’s like i really enjoyed it and she like immediately took me out of it w that…..#like instantly lost my post concert glow 😔#anyway tho she was wrong it was actually great & someone threw a lesbian flag on stage at some point & she was holding it#while singing a love song abt another woman & it meant so much to me 💞 my friend simply cannot understand……#also if u think i’m joking abt this man i was so shocked when i saw his spotify header i legit said no fucking way out loud 😭

i do realise i talk ab the rebirth era a lot for someone who purportedly dislikes it, but tbh i can't help but be fascinated by emo wayne and i don't think i can be blamed for that
#i used to listen to his remix of america's suitehearts all the time please#it's not even as good as the original song#it's also just like fascinating because it has the potential to be good#like truckfit era wayne while i love the style is just boring music wise#so there's not rlly much for me to say ab that#but like. rebirth is just. clearly it was a labour of love. nobody wanted him to do this. he tried and emphatically failed#and that is way more interesting than not trying#like. imagine you're lil wayne you're one of the biggest rappers in the world#you've just come off your most critically acclaimed album and won a grammy for it#u drop arguably your best mixtape lyrically of your career so far#and then u drop a shitty autotune rock album and go off to prison for 10 months#amazing!!#also like sorry he was so cute in this era <3#lil wayne#tune time#marchibald's

horrortale sans 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
#cherry chats#my favorite nasty goddamn FREAK#hes the best im sp in love with him. i am with all sanses but as far as aus go i think youll find hes simply the best there is#ppl mischaracterize him so bad. but i love him for who he is<33#hes not evil hes not even an antagonist hes just messed up and a control freak#it literally says he wont hurt you as long as hes entertained in his character introduction sheet#my man didnt starve for longer than everybody else by refusing to eat humans to be treated like THIS#hes not evil hes not some y*ndere. hes just regular sans but meaner and creepier and more morbid and a bit more out of it than regular sans#thats the most important parts to remember about him. hes just regular sans with a handful of screws loose#hes MEAN and hes CREEPY (well…. even MORE creepy) and a FREAK and THINKS HE CAN CONTROL THINGS LIKE HE USED TO even though he CANT#his intricate plans really arent all that great anymore. its tha head injury luv#yes he kills people. but literally thats 100% for everybody elses sakes. motherfucker doesnt even eat the stuff#hes so selfless. even when hes insane#also i <3 when people make note of his memory issues like <3 <3 <3#and also. the vocaloid song meatman by steampianist makes me think of him so MUCH!!!!!!#to me thats his song. if u look up the lyrics youll see what i mean
