We're probably years off any solo albums but I'm pre gaming being hyped for a seungmin solo album huhuhu

[thedreadvampy]

Apple Music is the best way to listen to music but my god is its recommendation algorithm pants. tell me why its suggested "Get up!" energising playlist for me this week includes:

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division

Nina Simone singing The House of the Rising Sun

Arlo Guthrie doing Shenandoah

Two Leonard Cohen songs

Some of my favourite genres are 90s dance, 80s new wave and 2000s neodisco. but we're choosing Joy Division, Arlo Guthrie and Leonard Cohen? What is WRONG with you????

🎵 for the ask game!!

from this ask game

🎵 - Which OC has the most similar music taste to you, and which OC has the least similar music taste to you?

i think Dew has the most similar music taste to me because he listens to a lot of alternative/indie which is stuff i like too. some artists i feel like Dew would listen to are glass beach, arcadia grey, alex g, lemon demon, idkhow, ricky montgomery, radiohead, maybe jhariah, probably mcr, he’d definitely listen to weezer, and he probably also had a cavetown phase, and stuff like that. he doesn’t have my exact music taste because that would include will wood and idk if i’m gonna make him canon to tllr mainly because his songs hugely inspired Anton’s character LOLL. Dew also listens to a lot of video game and cartoon music like he’d definitely listen to the undertale or adventure time soundtracks allll the time too.

Anton definitely has the least similar music taste to me because that man does not listen to music at all and that’s honestly his only negative trait in my eyes /j. but really, he just doesn’t listen to music. maybe an instrumental here and there in the background but otherwise it’s really distracting for him. he prefers to listen to natural sounds like the rain or birds chirping or screams of agony yk? or i can see him listening to podcasts, like in another life he’d probably be a tma fan hahhaha. if he did listen to music though, it’d be closer to will wood’s genre (because that’s the music i associate him with) but like specifically the really noisy chaotic sounding ones

anyway my favorite artists (that i will spend listening to on repeat for literal months on end) are will wood, harley poe, jhariah, and toby fox :)

parts from the camelot revival cast recording that make me smile, act 2

not comprehensive. might be in an order. featuring 20% more jordan donica.

ENTR'ACTE. we've got the true theatre experience guys (minus the exit music.)

jordan donica's perfect french during the madrigal

the hazy, in-the-other-room feel of the madrigal strings at the beginning of "if ever i would leave you"

jordan donica's perfect vowels.

the dreamy strings when lance comes back in after the instrumental interlude

"it's not the earth the meek inherit, it's the dirt." / again with lerner's lyrics, but taylor trensch does a such good job making them come alive.

"...and fidelity is only for your mate!" / shouted towards the direction where arthur disappeared. have to say, i do love mordred's fierce loyalty to his mother even if he is a toad.

[guenevere, whistling terribly] "stop! you are terrible at whistling!"

"i'm a beginner! i just need practice and encouragement!" / "the very last thing you should have is encouragement." / WHAT are the implications of that statement, arthur???

"my father used to say i sang like an angel who'd been blessed with a particularly pretty singing voice." / this joke has no right being so good.

"what do simple folk do... to forget?" / love that this line could be played ironically or straight.

"what else do the simple folk--" / sighing: "genny." / when i tell you that i almost melted when i heard this on the cast recording

that verse in "fie on goodness" that's just about scotland, and then: "fie on scotland, fie!!!"

the entire ensemble during "guenevere"

trumpet fanfare/snare hit after arthur says "those guards are going to die tonight"!

the slow dirge of winds and percussion at the end of "guenevere"

[twistedappletree]

There is literally so much good music out there oh my god…

[autistickfigure]

i remember maybe what inspired me for stories is like. playstation all stars has a little origins section for each character which explains their backstory. Hey i just found out plastation all stars came out when i was 6 WELL anyway that was one of the first things that inspired me to flesh out things i guess. i love knowing why people are here and doing these things. i feel like i wrote some stuff in like a notebook somewhere about chug + lollipop (but maybe that was later?) i dont know where or if it survived. maybe it was about hat instead i also really liked smash bros + ratchet and clank + pokemon. and some other things i dont remember

[boneless-mika]

Yes it’s annoying when people accuse people who read 100+ books a year of somehow cheating at reading but I’d argue it’s even more annoying when people respond to that by saying “It’s easy to read 100+ books a year. Anyone can do it. Just replace your screen time with reading.”

[nomaishuttle]

The lyrics of Mr Eminem's new song being mostly about you? That was something you definitely didn't expect.

I get so weak on my knees

Lose all control

Damn, her silhouette

So hot

Fuck bein’ a gentleman

I'm going to fuck her instead

The red carpet at the Grammys has always been a dream for you, you had already won a couple of awards, today... you were excited to be the presenter of one of them.

Best Rap Album.

To say you were excited is an understatement.

You've loved this genre of music since you were a teenager, Tupac, Fifty, Snoop...to name the most classics.

The camera flashes were the only thing you saw, accompanied by many voices that stunned your ears just by hearing your name.

"Y/N! over here!" A reporter called you, without hesitation, you approached.

"Hey how are you?" you asked with a big smile.

"Incredible! How are you? I imagine you're very excited for tonight" he smiles.

"Don't even mention it! I can't wait to call the winner on stage!"

"Do you think Eminem is nominated? He's been on everyone's mouth lately with his latest song..."

Here we go.

"Yeah... well, I'm sure he'll be nominated, I mean, he's fucking Eminem, it would be like a sin if he wasn't, right?" You laughed a little awkwardly.

"What do you think about his last song, about his comments towards you? 50% of people are upset calling Eminem a degenerate..." you didn't let him finish speaking.

"Well...I really like him, I mean, I've always been his fan and it's an honor to be named in one of his songs. Plus I also think that...we all know how he's like, if you don't like his way to be, to think, to speak, the lyrics of his songs, just don't listen to it and that's it, problem solved, I don’t see the point in hating so much on something you can just...ignore" you laugh looking at the camera "Just take things more lightly, not everything is fighting and bad intentions."

You finished your conversation with said reporter and simply headed to your designated seat.

On the other hand, a certain blonde boy was also being attacked with questions regarding his controversial lyrics.

"She's here? Shit, I want to see her," the blonde rapper said, showing a small, very small, smile, turning his head around with the intention of catching some sign of the hot pop singer, you.

"Yes! In fact she will be the one to present the award for best rap album!"

"No shit! Damn man she's here" Em turned around and said to his best friend, Proof.

In a few minutes everyone finished settling into their seats and you both were surprised when you looked at each other, just a few seats away.

You were five seats to the right and three to the back, so you caught him every time he turned his head back a little to look and smile at you.

Until, soon...your moment had arrived, you got up from your seat to head backstage.

By the way, when you walked past the rapper, he didn't try to hide the fact that he couldn't take his eyes off you for even a second.

"And the Grammy goes to..." you created some tension "EMINEN!" You blurted out the name more excited than you should have.

The rapper's reaction might not have been very expressive normally, but he couldn't contain his smile when he knew who would be the one giving to him his award. The rapper and his friends got on stage and it was inevitable that you felt nervous as you watched him walk towards you, with a playful look, as if he knew what he generated in you.

"Congratulations," you whispered when he was close enough to you, taking the grammy as you felt the soft brush of his fingers against yours, he did it on purpose.

You didn't expect him to give you a hug.

"That's all I get?" He whispered back to you, keeping your faces close and your noses touching, his hands on your waist pulling you closer to him as if he didn't want to move away from you.

A great bustle from the public was heard, and it took them both out of the small cloud in which they were.

This was definitely going to stir the waters.

You both walked away, while you greeted and congratulated the rest of his friends (Proof winking at you in the process).

"Wow, shit, this is crazy, thank you so much to everyone who made the production of this album possible, Dr Dre, who always had my back, I will be forever grateful...and my god, damn, thanks to whoever the fuck is that put this beauty in that dress..." he turned to look at you and winked "Y/N Y/L/N ladies and gentlemen, the source of my inspiration for Heat Seeker"

Obviously, you blushed.

The entire audience was applauding, probably already starting to gossip among themselves about the little show between you and Eminem.

Like a gentleman he offered you his hand as he watched you walk down the steps of the stage with great caution. "Thank you," you whispered. “Any time” he smiles at you.

´Til the end of the awards you continued to connect glances from time to time, you also noticed how his friends bothered him every time he turned his head to look at you.

"Hey, Y/N! wait!" listen to yourself behind your back. "Hey," you looked at him softly, "whats up?" He shook his head quickly. "I just wanted to…I mean, normally I wouldn't give a shit, but, I wanted to make sure that the song didn't offend you, it wasn't to upset you…" You interrupted his attempt to apologies "Don't worry, I understand it was just the song, I didn't take it personally, actually, I loved it" you laughed. "You did? I'm glad you're not like the rest and laugh instead of being offended." His attempt to hide his smile failed completely.

It just slips away from him.

Just with you.

A few seconds of silence took over the situation, though it wasn't uncomfortable, your eyes connected and you didn't seem to realize that you had been staring at each other. "Uhm, I was about to go to my hotel," you pointed behind you, "I was gonna change for the afterparty."

"Can I go with you?" He asked you, but before you processed the fact that he wanted to go with you to your hotel, he interrupted your thoughts "I mean, just so then we can go to the party together, if you want" he scratched the back of his neck.

You didn't even need to think about it "Yeah, I would like that" you smiled.

The two of you walked together towards your limo, captured by several cameras, so neither of you doubted that tomorrow you would wake up to a bunch of articles about how Eminem and Y/N left the Grammy's together. But none of you care about it.
