My (Pretty Quick) Review on Haven - Marianas Trench (2024)

PSA: So my plan is to write a total of probably 3 reviews of Haven. this one being the short one with just rating each song from 1-10 with small commentary. the second being an extension of this one with better commentary for each song, and the third being a review as an album in general instead of focusing on each song. I just have way too many thoughts and I don't want to overwhelm anyone with everything in one post. It also helps me keep my thoughts organized. I just want to join in the fun (despite me being a few weeks late to the party)

okie thanks! :D

Normal Life: ngl it took me a few listens to really like it. But when it hit, it HIT. Not the best opener in their discography tho. 8/10

Lightning and Thunder: i like it as a single, but kind of flops compared to the other songs in the album. Still a bop tho 6/10

I’m Not Getting Better: it took me a two relistens to like it. Again, good as a single but something about it just gives “FOR RADIO”. Can tell they drew some inspo from the 80s and seems a little Astoria-esque (still don’t know if I like it tho). 5/10

Down to You: first single that I automatically fell in love with. However, it sounds way too similar to Kid Laroi’s Stay in some parts and I don’t like that 💀 7/10

Now or Never: 😬 guys, I’ve seen your reviews and I was surprised to see this was a fan favorite. It was not mine (pls don’t kill me 💀). Lyrics,, a little cheesy. Production,, a little boring to me tbh. However not a bad song. Vocals are killer - as always - 4/10

Into the Storm: lyrics are nice (still a little cheesy tho). Production and composition, awesome ! Josh really worked his ass fr. Love the crescendos here. Sounds like it will be killer live. 7/10

Ancient History: another fan favorite for some reason that I was surprised with. Melodically: fan of the verses, not a fan of the chorus (more on that later). Saxophone goes HARD tho 🎷🎷 serviceable bop 5/10

Stand and Fight: pretty good song in the context of the album. Not so good standalone (a little debatable). Josh’s vocals made me tear up hear tho. Gets pretty inspiring 🥹 7/10

Turn and Run: same review as stand and fight except it’s inspiring in a different way. To me: (masterpiece theater II —> Masterpiece Theater 2009) = (turn and run —> Haven 2024) idk if that makes sense but it’s an analogy. Sounds like it’ll be killer in live 6/10

Worlds Collide: BANGER BANGER BANGER. I liked it when I first heard it but it took me til the third to be like “ 🥹I get it.” This song was made for ME. The masterpiece theater references made me tear up. The drama, the composition. Spectacular. However, in the context of the album, it gets held back. More on this song later. 9.75/10

Nights Like These: giving “story of tonight”. Sweet message. Sweet song. (Congrats to josh btw!)6/10

Remember Me By: SLAPS!! Straight up. Loved it as soon as I heard it. Catchy and love the 80s vibe here a lot more. Also reminds me of Try Me from his solo project. Certified BOP 9/10

Haven: KILLER OUTRO! Once more, marianas Trench knocks it out of the park with their outros. I think this is their most ambitious and musically complex song yet and it tears me up how far they’ve come 🥲🥲. 10/10⭐️

Final Notes: Solid album, not my favorite album. I have a bajillion more thoughts on this album because I’m batshit crazy about Marianas Trench. I’m so HAPPY we got new music and hopefully I get to see them soon!!! (my date got postponed 🥲)

Overall Rating: 8/10 💕

Stay tuned for my in depth analysis 👍

switcharoo au i had to sketch out before i lost the idea

[jedi-enthusiast]

I swear, the “pro palestine” crowd is never beating the antisemitic, racist, and xenophobic allegations because anytime I see someone with a star of david or israeli flag in their name/bio, there’s always about 50 replies that have NOTHING to do with whatever they commented and are basically just them harassing this random person online.

And there’s no winning either! Because I literally just saw someone who had their username formatted like this- "[Israeli flag] [username] [palestine flag]” -and they had like “free palestine” in their bio and also “free israel” (as in free them from hamas’ violence) and they STILL had people under their random comment on an edit saying shit like-

“You can’t have both flags in your username”

“Free Israel from violence they created?”

“No pissraeli is innocent”

So like, there’s literally no winning! Even if you’re vocal about your support of palestine, if you don’t condemn all jews and israelis to death then the “pro palestine” crowd hates you. You can want peace, want a ceasefire, want everyone to be safe, but if you DARE have any empathy for israelis or jews or the hostages then apparently none of that matters because you’re the “enemy.”

Heaven forbid you think that a two state solution is best, instead of wanting israel wiped off the face of the earth. Heaven forbid you think hamas is the terrorist organization that it LITERALLY IS and responsible for the vast majority of all of this horror, instead of painting them as “freedom fighters” and “poor wittle victuwms of the eeevil pissraelis.” Heaven forbid you condemn the antisemitism that’s skyrocketing all around the world instead of just ignoring it or calling it “activism” and saying that “the evil jews zionists just want to silence us!”

I’ve literally lost multiple friends over this shit because that’s the kind of bullshit they spread/support/associate with. It’s fucking ridiculous that people I bonded with over similar values have now just seemingly tossed those values right out the window when it comes to jews and israel/israelis. I’m so fucking tired of all of this bullshit.

If any of my old friends see this post and wonder- “does this apply to me?” -or- “is this why they stopped hanging out with me?” -think of the conversations I’ve had with y’all about this shit and take a wild fucking guess.

Put on a Show

Steve Harrington x Reader 18+ only

Synopsis: You wake up at movie night and wonder where Steve went

Contains: masturbation, watching someone masturbate, dirty talk, praise, cumplay, no gendered language for reader

Your eyes flutter open. The soft static screen flickers on the TV, the low hum the perfect white noise to sleep to. You're tempted to fall right back to sleep, except your neck and back are hurting from your position on the couch.

You inhale deeply as you stretch your arms above you. You roll your head from side to side to get the kinks out before looking around the room.

Nancy and Jonathon are asleep, curled up together in the recliner. You don't know how Nancy manages to look so serene and regal while she sleeps.

Eddie looks more similar to you sleeping. Eddie has his one arm curled in towards him, hand bent at an awkward angle. The other arm stretched above him. He hasn't rolled around a lot, like you tend to do, but his hair is somehow even more wild and unkempt then normal. His mouth is open, however, and you grimace at the drool coming out of his mouth.

You look to your left. Robin is curled over the left arm of the couch. A pillow has been placed under her head. Every once in a while she mumbles in her sleep and her leg twitches.

Which leaves an empty space directly next to you. Where Steve had been. When you all had started the movie, Steve had thrown his arm around the back of the couch behind your head. You could feel the warmth from his arm, but he never once touched you.

But Steve was nowhere to be found around the room. You slowly got up, your back popping from laying in an unnatural position on the couch. You groan slightly before creeping around the room. You don't want to wake anyone up.

You shut the TV off, the room instantly going quiet and dark. You can now hear Jonathan lightly snoring and Robin's mumbling more clearly. You tiptoe out of the room once your eyes adjust to the darkness.

You peek into the kitchen, but Steve isn't there. You lightly creep up the stairs, thinking about going to sleep in the guest room. You rub the sleep from your eyes when you hear a noise. You pause, casting your gaze to Steve's bedroom door.

A dull light shines out from the cracked open door. You rub your eyes again, thinking about going to sleep, when you hear a groan. You push the door slightly more open and-

Oh.

All thoughts of sleep fade away as your eyes widen at the sight before you. Steve's head is thrown back against the headboard. He swallows, his Adams apple bobbing. His brows furrow slightly as his mouth drops open.

His breaths are labored, you can see his nipples pebbled up through his shirt. The hem is haphazardly pulled up, revealing his happy trail. But your eyes are drawn to his hands. His one hand is gripping the comforter, knuckles turning white.

But his other hand is wrapped around his erection. His dick is the biggest you've ever seen in real life. The tip is flushed a deep red, beads of precum leaking out the top. He's curved slightly to the left, a prominent vein on the underside. You watch as he strokes from base to tip, twisting his hand on the upstroke.

You bite your lip as fire spreads through your groin. It's like a jolt of electricity went down your spine and lit up your nerves. You can't stand still, shifting from one leg to another. Your heart is beating fast, your mouth simultaneously dry and wet.

You didn't mean to let out a moan.

Steve's eyes snap open and locks eyes with yours. "Oh fuck-" Steve moans, panting as he grasps the base firmly, stopping his motion. His dick twitches with interest, another burst of pre leaking from the tip.

"What uh- how-" Steve looks down at his hand then back at you. You lick your lips before entering the room, lightly shutting the door behind you. "Shh, you don't want to wake the others, do ya Stevie?" You pad over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it.

Steve's breathing picks up slightly, eyes wide as he stared at you. "Or would you want to put on a show? Did you hope someone would wonder where you went? Come and see you?" You can't help the words tumbling from your mouth.

Steve gasps, hips bucking involuntarily into his hand. "Just wanted someone to watch didn't you, Pretty Boy?" You smirk at him, how he writhes under your gaze alone. Steve nods, "Uh-huh, wanted hng wanted you to see."

"Show me then, Pretty Boy."

Steve nods, face flushed. He starts moving his hand again, up and down. You scoot closer," You're doing so good Stevie. Putting on such a good show for me."

Steve nods, gasping and moaning lightly. His hand speeds up, "Not gonna fuck not gonna last with you looking at me like that."

"That's okay, bet you look so pretty when you come." You murmur. Steve released the comforter from his other hand and reaches for you. You pause a moment before putting your hand in his. Steve immediately interlocks his fingers with yours, his other hand continuing to jerk himself off.

"Oh-" Steve cuts himself off with a gasp, mouth dropping open. His abdomen tenses as his hips jerk forward. You can see the wave of pleasure cross over his face as he comes all over his hand and shirt.

You murmur sweet nothings as he continues to work himself through his orgasm. His hand slows as he starts to whine from the slight overstimulation.

Steve's eyes flutter open, gazing into your face. He licks his lips as he let's go of his softening dick. He looks down at his hand, grimacing at the cum on it. You grab his wrist before he can wipe it off on his shirt.

"What are-" you cut Steve off as you lick a stripe of cum off his hands," Oh holy shit." You moan lightly at the taste. You lock eyes with Steve, licking his hand clean.

Steve stares at you in awe. "That's so hot," he squeezes the hand that is still linked with yours. You grin at him," You were hot too, thanks for the show." "Anytime- uh wait i-" Steve hesitates," Well, yes anytime but uh, maybe next time you would want to join?" You wink at him and kiss the back of his hand.
