our love will be passed on <3

I love how deep MCR lyrics are when you take a time to really look into them. "I don't love you" for example, may sound like "another teenager breakup song" first time you hear it, but, after paying some attention you realize that it's not necessarily about it.  It's about seeing a person you love leave you whitout any explanation. It's about being hurt that they're leaving but also being too proud to ask them to stay. It's about wanting to them at least *say it* to you before leaving forever. But it's also about moving on. Finding another way. Your life it's not over just because this person left. It will hurt. It will make you angry. But it will pass.

Like I said, not just a teenager breakup song.

something i deeply appreciate about the black dog (a self-written song!) is that it tells a complete narrative from start to finish and yet is also all over the place. a stream of consciousness going on in taylor’s head in between the time she watches the subject of the song enter and leave the bar. from the first line to the last she keeps to the core theme of the song: “old habits die screaming.” yet she is jumping from thought to thought as the song progresses, leaving behind the numb shock and puzzlement of the first verse for the anger and agony of the last chorus. how could you have forgotten to turn your location off? don’t you miss going to bars with me? is there some other younger girl with you right now? are they playing that one song that was important to us? will i ever be able to open up to someone again? it kills me that you made me believe you were what i needed. don’t you miss showering together? do you hate me? i know i’m better off but i still miss what we had. were you making fun of me with that thing you said? i hope you know how much you have hurt me. i hope you are having a terrible time right now.

I'M GONNA SEE MY MAN, 'TIL I GET SATISFIED / for @izzy-hands

And I forget sometimes I'm just flesh and bone.

As he stands in the ruined bathroom, all Rook can think is, At least now I can breathe.

Sometimes i have to take a step back and think because of all the celebrities i have admired and looked up to Hayley makes me feel more seen and understood than all of them and thats really special to me. Every time i listen to thick skull and i remember that in order to write it she would have had to experience the same feelings i struggle with daily i start crying

i could write so many words on thick skull if i was more articulate

Every song on The Tortured Poets Department can be tied back to Cherik. In this essay, I will-

“The fall out” this “the silent credits” that. I’m actually stuck on this BANGER, get it right.

This is genuinely one of the most powerful laments I’ve ever heard. Like… ever? This is STRAIGHT from a west-end musical and we got it in a WEB-SERIES. The vocal infliction. The emotion. The “and if he’s only here as a prisoner, what kind of MONSTER does that make me?”

I do want to say that I feel a but relieved that it was not suicide per say(as it looks like till now) , most likely a drug overdose case gone wrong here. With this, atleast I feel Liam was not actively trying to end things for himself in a way.. it is accidental but all more tragic that it could be prevented if people used their brains!

learning that made me feel better too... but then also worse... but then better again... like it's all just fucking terrible. In the end it does make me feel better that he wasn't suffering that acutely in that way in that moment, that was really so horrific to imagine and live with, and of course for the people in his actual life who survive him the guilt would have been unbearable. I do feel better ever since I, also, reached that conclusion from reading about what happened. But also... he didn't want to die, he wanted to stay around and keep doing things and trying. And he's gone. And that's just so tragic and fucking useless. I let spotify Get me earlier with their 'remember Liam' playlist and listening to him say "I want to get better" and "I want to be a better man" in song after song.... it's crushing. I wanted that for him too, for him to have that chance. There are so many ways things could have been better for him, but now all of those possibilities are just... dead. It's just garbage, I hate death and people dying and I'm really honestly just fucking sick of it.

ENLIGHTENMENT

[shy-sapphic-ace]

Old Gods of Appalachia gives me the same vibes as listening to music by Lord Huron— it’s just the perfect blend of supernatural and folktales and being so deep in the woods it feels like the light can’t reach you anymore, and I am absolutely in love.

^ I mean, this is exactly what listening to the podcast feels like (at least to me)

[i-aint-got-santa-fe]

We have to seize the day

By carrying the banner

So the world will know

We have something to believe in

So don't come a knocking on my door

Just watch what happens

Because that's the bottom line

Okay so Kaos in short:

A genuinely good show on its own, but I hate quite a lot of what they've done with the myths. Retellings are adaptations, and that means that stories change! They're supposed to! But this feels like the writers read just enough of greek mythology to get some characters and then just... stopped reading. (For instance the whole Hera's tacitas with the tongues thing was kinda unnecessary? Came out of nowhere and didn't really feel like it fit logically.)

I was annoyed the whole way through about things in the mythology that just irked me. Good example is Poseidon being "Zeus' younger brother". Why the fuck would you make Poseidon his younger brother? Zeus is generally considered the youngest? If you wish to change things from the source material because you want to show something in the story or plot, sure! Go ahead! But this just felt like there was absolutely no reason at all to make Poseidon younger than him?? Truly the only reason I can imagine is that someone went "Hmmm but Zeus is king so surely he must be the oldest! So Poseidon is his younger brother!" And I hate it. Kaos is littered with changes for no reason like this.

However I've finished the show and I do have to admit that on its own it's genuinely very good, and I do really like some of the characters a lot. The actors are amazing, especially for Hera, the Fates, and Ari. I love this character Hera so much, but also cannot fathom why you would make her this and still call her Hera, because the goddess of marriage and family she is not.

Addition: I genuinely think the last episode could have been made in such a way that it already showed the full fall of the family, and ended the story. I wholeheartedly believe that this show would have been better if it actually got a proper ending after its first season. This open-endedness does allow for a second season, and in this case, that's a bad thing. It should've ended properly.

Oops, not as short as I intended
