listening to a light or somethin’ from warriors album for the 30th tune and I hear mercy saying quietly “more than beautiful?” Which I hadn’t heard before, I don’t know how — and like— how she was only valued for her beauty before but now she is empowered to be more than that so many thoughts oh g-d
#Ahhhhh#i love the warriors musical#“Thank you Lin and eisa” we all say in unison#Mercy#WOMEN#side note I LOVE how mercy belts WOMEN in call me mercy it makes me feel very something I’m very normal about it#Warriors album#warriors musical#lin manuel miranda#eisa davis#warriors

a deep blood moon, a starless night
dark enough to see the light
#something something he has the title of prince yet is treated like a commoner#callum holds a prestigious ranking due to his mother's marriage yet he is not the hier to the throne#im sure canonically he literally cannot care less specifically#but i like to think it factors into his struggles with finding himself#and his purpose in the world#this is a “we love ezran” household#but i cant help feeling callum has the vibes of a middle child despite being the oldest#while ezran is both oldest and youngest. burden of the crown yet still a child#the title of high mage gives callum his own kind of recognition#but it doesn't separate him from the title of prince#he's the first human mage to do primal magic yet only his inner circle recognizes how big of a feat that is#something something having a strong mind and heart with an untapped thirst for knowledge#everyone forgets about him so it gives him time to research all he needs#this was originally inspired by the vibes of “red moon” by will wood#puts my callum would listen to will wood if he existed in xadia badge#probs ¡Akido! (Neurotic / Erotic)#Williard!#Against the Kitchen Floor#and White Noise#in case i make it is a callum album overall tbh#late night ramblings#tdp#callum tdp#tdp fanart#the dragon prince fanart#the dragon prince callum fanart#the dragon prince#my fanart#my art#bobasalt

🚨NEWS: miss reneé is out to kill me once again!
#also to address that last part girlie take all the time you need#i’ll be just as insane about it even if it takes years#reneé rapp#renee rapp#yk how other pop fandoms will abbreviate the artists name and put the number of the album after#have we reached that point yet#idk calling it rr2 feels weird#maybe i’ll change my mind and use it anyway

I'd lower the world in a flood / Or better yet I'd cause a drought.
#it sounds like maybe there was some interest in an exploration of water references in unreal unearth#and how andrew likes to pull a bait and switch#between the album's visual imagery and its lyrical imagery#just like he did with wasteland baby actually being a very fire-centric album#and how we see elements as cleansing and renewing and cyclical forces in his music#so this was fun to think about#with bonus through me (the flood) content#because i still feel like it's canonically part of the album#hozier#unreal unearth#lyrics#francesca#first time#eat your young#i carrion (icarian)#who we are#anything but#abstract (psychopomp)#unknown / nth

I don’t think any of the forthcoming vaults will recontextualize the album in quite the same way that Red’s vault did.
#taylor swift#like the vault added so much to the overall narrative of the album and shed light on stuff she hadn’t explored#it made so many songs have new interpretations and meanings#with rep’s vault I don’t think it would change much of that narrative given how little she’s talked about how rough that time was#so we have an idea of what she was feeling/going through#with debut’s we know a lot of the material already and that album doesn’t really have an overarching narrative#there could be some heavier emotional stuff/subjects lurking in 1989’s vault#and I feel like speak now is clear in its story and emotions as is

just finished the human fear. screams in retired 2017/18 franzdom. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
my own amateur "review" below
audacious - dislike. gave me an awful first impression, to the point at which i didn't listen to any of the other singles until just now. lyrics are like, performatively self-aware in an offputting way and the composition is bland af. also just feels like a weird attempt at trying to redo early franz without the inherent cynicism which just. functionally is impossible to do well i think
2. everydaydreamer - this one i liked pretty well, both lyrically and compositionally. this feels like a good balance between pre- and post-nick ff sound imo. it reminds me thematically of The Universe Expanded and Dream Again and feels like the healthiest nick-grieving song he's ever put out. which is unfortunate bc that was very nearly an entire decade ago but oh well. still good tho
3. the doctor - this is the first of a few songs on this album that i feel like would sound fine if any other band did it but feels weirdly attention-reaching since it's them. SPEAKING OF ATTENTION I DONT LIKE THE LYRICS AT ALL. This is definitely the most grossly self-aware/acknowledging song imo. don't like it
4. hooked - i could name half a dozen songs by other artists in my library compositionally similar to this one. i like the style but it sounds, again, weird coming from them. lyrically though i think it's pretty dull and the chorus.... eughhh. alex is too old to make it feel like anything other than an awkward "back in my day magazines called me a sex symbol" ordeal.
5. build it up - HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA the funny thing about this song is that they've been playing it for so long that it only just now being officially released just. REALLY emphasizes the fact that alex will never get over nick leaving even more LOL. Good song though, not my fav stylistically but fine
6. night or day - this must be my favorite single but that's not really saying much lol. it's fine. doesn't sound tooooo totally derivative of older stuff which helps.
7. tell me i should stay - Ok I LOVE this one. The piano interlude is v nice. The style and chord progression is also v nice. Alex's voice sounds the best it has in years (imo). the chorus key change really sets this one apart from the others and it feels WAYYYY more exciting and natural than the one in audacious. I love the guitar riffing and the tempo changes. This is EASILY my favorite off the album and honestly will probably rank in the upper quarter of their songs overall for me. If they go and make a whole album like this i will forgive alex for his transgressions against humanity
8. cats - this is another one that feels like a good balance of older and newer ff sound. i really like the "take it outside" refrain compositionally and am a bit of a sucker for the vocal style he takes on the second verse LOL. lyrically i think it is Interesting, especially the switch between "you" and "we" pronouns. i will likely be analyzing this one in the future heheheh.
9. black eyelashes - sorry not sorry but the folk-ish style reminds me of das lunsentrio. also the usage of greek words is interesting. apparently the bridge translates to "you are not greek/no, you're not talking/why? why aren't you talking?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. hmm,,,,, hm. Interesting. overall this one is pretty fun tho i like it lol
10. bar lonely - this one feels a little compositionally derivative of their early stuff imo but not to an extent that i feel ruins it. the lyrics kinda remind me of YCHISMB b-side era stuff, especially the vague progression of the curtain metaphor (i guess it reminds me of uh. that one supposedly about his grandpa idr what it's called lol). it is ok imo.
11. the birds - OK I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT. I love the style of it. I love the chaos that abruptly realigns into the almost factory-like riff structure. the lyrics are fine and i would like them better if they didn't end with "thank you for accepting me" but it's the composition that sells this one for me. Kinda weird for a closer tho tbh
I am glad I can say that this album exceeded my expectations and didn't end up being nearly as compositionally derivative of franz 1.0 stuff or as agonizingly self-appraising and emotionally deflective as I thought it would be after hearing the lead single. Most of the first half gives me this impression of "very adamantly trying to paint a certain image" that feels kinda gross but beyond that there is definitely a good amount of artistry and I personally find it to be much more open-minded and creative than AA ever was. it's clear that AK has grown over the years and honestly i'm surprised (for better or worse) to see there really aren't any obvious digs at any of the former members given past patterns. But i'm very glad that's the case lol. I hope they can continue to ride this wave as a group bc there's definitely a lot of good potential for some really fantastic works of art within its current form.
#franz ferdinand#sighhhh. i really did worry for a while there that this album would suck hahahaha#things i can only say as a post-franzdom member lol#also i kinda feel proud of alex for not totally cursing out nick and/or paul here LOL. wasn't sure if it could happen after the htth single#it's so interesting how deeply integrated the former lineup of this band is even as the years of separation go on#like as much as we make fun of him about it. alex was truly hurt when they left. nick is v much still a part of him#i think paul leaving probably put things into a greater perspective bc he could no longer think of it as '1v3(+2)' or whatever#perhaps i will post more if i end up doing further contemplation on the matter. i do enjoy this album though

I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk
#speaking of presents i need to brag about something#because now i offically have 20 vinyl records that i've gathered since starting my collection in spring of 2023#and my newest one is also actually the oldest and kind of an odd one out. surfer girl by the beach boys!#i'm really shocked that my dad remembered how we had this one conversation that also mentioned this band#about how i've been meaning to get into more of those bands that are considered maybe among the most influential and sort of classic#and just more 60s music in general. and we just listened to the album today and it was lots of fun#another thing is that after 4+ years since the game got released and since my months long animal crossing hypefixation started#i actually have new horizons now yay!!!! time to dig up my notes from all those months back#where i wrote down all my detailed plansfor customising my island IF I HAD ONE#but yeah this is exciting i haven't actualy played any ac games since uh idk even when#i probably haven't logged into either of my wild world or new leaf towns in over a year or maybe even two years#so i'm excited to return to the animal crossing world once again. those games are among my favourites ever#i'm definitely naming my island 'cowtown' by the way#also it was frosty overnight so today i took a walk and took some nice photos of everything being covered in frost#the magic of nature will always amaze me so... yay. all in all i had a chill christmas time#most of all i'm glad i didn't get sick out of nowhere at the end of holidays like last year that was kind of wild and rough#and i'm sending healing powers to those who might have had to deal with sickness of any kind. i know how that feels........#goosepost

i miss her…
#cant believe i forgot about her till the photobook q&a im so sorry witch mona~~~~~~~#press f for honeypre atelier gachas it was gone too soon™️#(currently e x t r e m e l y worried and stressed for tomorrow like never before b u t i have to appear like im fine sobs save me monachann)#(can i go on a stress-prompted tangent here about something inane? no? toooo bad im gonna go off anyway~~~~)#ok so. like. since witch mona is the image i have up ‘ere and since it’s still 七月… today’s tangent will be on irl spooky stories!!#s o. presenting a decently repressed memory from my childhood that resurfaced while i was hibernating at home:#anyways. well. thoughts about the afterlife can vary from person to person yes? there’s no one true correct belief after all#but the one question that unites us all is probably the one and only ‘are ghosts real?’#and well. for personal reasons i think so. i mean i’ve seen this one dude i hate get possessed a couple of times so welp. cant deny it ig.#wild story about that actually. back in the day my family’s finances were allegedly doing so badly that [dude i hate] had to pick up#a *c e r t a i n* side hustle for extra cash. that side hustle? literal grave digging at the cemetary. at night no less#and *ofc* he wasn’t respectful about it in the least so ofc some spirits followed him home. yay. free roommates.#one(?) of them even took residence in my room at the time and im 80% sure they ate my history textbook :( much sads#anyways well once that guy had too much to drink (which was rather often tbh) he’d get possessed. fun!#the only possession i ever saw was the n-rarity angry ghost who’d just huff and puff in silence with unfocused eyes most of the time#he’d occasionally put on a leather jacket too. but that was like a r-rarity event that didn’t happen that often#my mother had the chance to also witness the mosquito (who tried to barge into my room for fresh blood) and the 姑娘 (self-explanatory)#which is kinda unfair tbh. i wanted to see the ur-rarity ones too :( mostly bc it’d be funny to see a guy i hate act ooc (impure intentions)#oh right. how did we get the dude out of his possession? we just shook his arm really hard. prolly caused some lasting effects but who know#i think he could also just sleep off the possession but idk i was asleep for the ur-rarity incidents.#cant ask the one witness of it bc i dont want to bring back unnecessary flashbacks of [guy we hate]#anyways it’s been years since we moved out from that place and i still want my history textbook back. mostly for the principle of it but—#and so that’s the tangent of the day. i feel weirdly less stressed now thanks witch mona#i do wonder how my grandparents are faring on this 七月 though…#b u t !!!!! tomorrow’s date on the lunar calendar says it’s an auspicious day for wishful activity and starting a new job!!! so… maybe~~~~?#hauauauauauauauuauaaaaaa anyways insane tangent over stream mona’s new album ok bye#oops forgor to disable rbs i hate how easy it is to forget to use this function man

the rest of the Heeramandi soundtrack just dropped and it's giving Bajirao Mastani meets Muskurahat from Gangubai meets Qala meets Kavita Seth's work on A Suitable Boy. very interesting soundscape choices Mr. Bhansali sir i approve
#tv: heeramandi#heeramandi#manisha koirala#sonakshi sinha#aditi rao hydari#richa chadha#sanjeeda sheikh#sharmin segal#bollywood#local gay watches Bollywood.txt#lot of unknown/underrated singers credited here we love to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#Masoom Dil Hai Mera and Phool Gendwa Na Maaro have some gorgeous tabla(?) work going on in the background#Saiyaan Hatto Jaan does too but it reminds me of a song i can't put my finger on rn. if i find it later i'll add it#Ek Baar Dekh Lijiye is very light. very soft very dreamy but not quite enough to put you to sleep. almost PS-2 Aga Naga-esque#just atmospherically not musically#and Nazariya Ki Maari definitely leans into the Kavita Seth comparisions i was making. Madhubanti's voice is so so so rich ughhhh#for how Shreya made it onto the album tho i feel like musically she has the weakest song. i don't know about lyrically i'll have to see#if it comes with subs once the series drops so i know what she's talking about but idk. Chaudhavi Shab is missing something#Sakal Ban is still the best song from the entire thing imo. idk how he planned to beat that when he dropped it as a pre-release single#it's been stuck in my head ever since. there's no getting rid of that he has me singing Hindi in my sleep#curious to see what songs on this are paired with which women in the series bc that will blow open a whole new can of worms

ok, so i just listened to "loom" by imagine dragons, and i'm sorry but i only like three and a half song
#i get it it's experimental but honestly this album is so weird#like first of all why does it only have nine songs?#second of all first half of this album is a trash#i'm sorry but that's how i feel#and they used to be my favourite band but i just have to be honest i don't like the new sound#first song that i actually genuinely liked was in your corner#then gods don't pray because dan's voice sounds really amazing in this one and i love the production#and don't forget me made me cry#especially the “i miss you when you're gone so i wrote you one last song”#we all know who this is about#fire in these hills is also good when it comes to the lyrics and i love the voice crack when he sings “i don't think that i'm strong enough”#and i love the bridge because the production reminds me so much of their old songs#BUT overall i don't like production on this track that much that's why i said previously that i only liked three and a half song#idk#i know nobody asked for this but i wanted to write it anyway so#sorry for being a hater#they used to be my whole world but#things change i guess#imagine dragons#loom#but sincerely can you hear me?*

so seriously I think sam reid has more talent in his pinky than the entire cast of succession combined and if no awards recognize this I will actually burn hollywood to the ground and that is a promise <3
#feeling very strongly about this on this fine summer eve#don't even start with me on jacob anderson as well it's a wonder he doesn't sweep the grammys every single year he puts out a new album#but jesus christ sam you can't just? give the most iconic performance of your life and then also be doing the most with A SECOND ROLE#I am genuinely going to start gnawing on wooden furniture around my house. He's so much#nobody really understands how much it takes to be the cattiest and funniest bitch on the planet with the emotional depth of the fucking#mariana trench and I'm going to start throwing hands about it soon#we didn't break the amc breaking bad most viewed show on the network streak for NOTHIN#I will be unwell about this for the next one thousand years

Tbh dark in here is the ideal mountain goats album because you can either listen to it and really connect with the despair OR in a better mood it can just be a crazy series of adventures that happened to some guys! CANNOT say the same about ie transcendental youth which you basically have to listen to in the worst year of your life or beat the champ, which is a great time with only minor notes of dread and nostalgia. Idk I just think dark in here hits the sweet spot of that post-goths vibe where it's moody and atmospheric with a real sense of pathos but it's fundamentally a set of sff stories about some characters
#would have to listen to jenny from thebes again before i decide how it fits into this#i listened to it on the highway during a rainstorm so aside from a few bits of compelling imagery i didn't hear any of that#but i think my ranking for the past 10 years of albums is like. hmmm. faves to least faves:#dark in here beat the champ bleed out songs for pierre chuvin jenny from thebes goths in league with dragons#it gets harder if we go back further than that so for the sake of everyone here i won't#we could be here all day#anyway how are we feeling about the new album guys??
