#i need to relisten to the albums

[twentysidednerd]

you know, i’ve seen people talking about gunpowder tim being persephone in “ulysses dies at dawn” but how funny would it be if jonny was thanatos?

he’s not killing people for ashes or for the city in any regard, he’s just having so much fun depopulating the lower levels he can get his hands on. the ferrymen fucking hate him for giving them so much more work to do and ashes pretends to be mad at him, but is just having the time of their life watching him absolutely fuck shit up, delivering plenty of brains to the acheron for them to use. my guy really saw the minotaur fall and was like “damn, guess i gotta pick up the slack” (/j)

no clue about how the other olympians specifically feel about him, but i like to believe that, in accordance with greek mythology, they don’t like him lol. but i feel like they also have no clue who he really is at first, so until they find out, they dub him “thanatos” (they’d find out at some point since they issue a warrant for his arrest in the album art with jonny’s actual name on it, but it’s fun to imagine)

this post was brought to you by me listening to udad for the first time in a while and then thinking too hard about it lmao

Happy anniversary to sgt peppers i need to say that i've always seen the album as a concept album for a traveling circus. The first song introduces the circus and the other songs are the attractions in the circus. Billy shears is like the ringmaster there. And a day in the life can be the Last Attraction in the circus to finish the show with a perfect song or it can be A Normal Day In Life after people go out of the show.

song that makes me cry and then cheers me up in the end 😢

ohhauguhhhhhhh (sobbing sounds) i love the way he sings "recorded music is a statue of a waterfall / the flashing glint on the marble where the eye once was" so so much T_T so perfect. the whole thing so kind and sincere and respectful to the chill as hell fish . much to learn from cool chill fish 🐟 i dig your style too, man

Is this a safe place to admit that I tried really hard to get into MCR when I was a fourteen year old emo, but I never could???

[squarebracketsmileyface]

if you liked Don't Blame Me you should listen to the rest of the album, Are We There Yet? the entire thing is about breakups and the cycle of toxic love! not only does the music absolutely fuck but it'll ruin you

I've listened through the album once in the background of doing other things, so I wasn't paying much attention to the lyrics. I should listen to it properly, because if it's about break ups and toxic love it'll be perfect for my Sorry It's Locked playlist

OKAY I'm back having relistened to the whole album. And this got long soooooo hiding it so it looks neater.

Romanticise This????? Alex's pov on breaking Jay's heart and betraying him. "God forbid that I romanticise this"? Like, as far as I'm concerned, Alex romanticises breaking Jay's heart through believing that it was the only choice he had to save him, he was doing it for the greater good.

You Are Here, i love this one so much and it makes me think of the entry 80 and onward fic idea I have for the sorry It's locked universe, where both Jay and Alex have kinda done a little healing (mostly Jay if i'm being honest, Alex if fucked) and they meet again under the circumstances of, yknow, entry 80. Jay's trying to kinda talk Alex out of killing him, and like, is just kinda realising how much he's had to change for them both to be here in this moment, but he also realises upon seeing Alex that he hasn't changed enough.

Idk I think it's more the general vibes of the song than the lyrics in this one but I still love it.

"You are here, And so am I, So come for a moment, And stay for a while" I think this bit is the most lyrically similar to the fic idea, like, Jay's going to not be able to bring himself to push Alex away even after he's shot him and they'll just both stay there together until Jay dies in Alex's arms.

In Between, Alex again, like, just, thinking about everything that came before, back when they were in Uni together. Like, him thinking about the things he'd do differently now (if all the shit with the Operator wasn't happening) Especially the chorus with the, like, wanting to "be like you" and "be with you" like, Alex kinda admiring Jay in a way I guess? Like, I'm thinking admiring Jay's ability to, like, be vaguely more open about his sexuality than Alex ever was. I'm terrible at analysis. THEY'RE MY BABIES AND THIS SONG MAKES ME GO "ALEX ARARARARARARARARARARA" there we go.

Then like, the last verse where it's like the chorus but changed a little? That's like Alex in the entry 80 fic idea realising how badly he fucked everything up and how there's no way to fix it now. He can't be like Jay, he can't be with Jay.

On The Other Side, more Alex, except it's Alex finally kinda losing it and realising he is very much not in control of himself or the Operator, and that the Operator is pretty much conpletely in control of his actions, or like, the thought processes that inform his actions. Specifically the end of the song I think, tho like, the whole "You wont find me on the other side" feels almost like he's resigned himself to hell after death, whereas everyone he's killed (and eventually Jay because he's realising he'll have to kill jay too now) won't be there with him. He's like, resigning himself to being okay with that reality.

The whole "I'll sleep in the eye of the storm" line to me feels like it could be about the Operator kinda. Like, the Operator is the storm, and Alex is sleeping in the eye of it, as in, staying close to it and kinda doing what it says (while also trying to still save people from it) is the best way to keep himself alive for longer so he can "save" more people from it in the end. I think that makes sense? God knows. I'm tired and terrible as song analysis.

Once again: Alex ararararrarararararrarararararararrarar

Okay. I'm done. My apologies for ranting I just love this fic SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much that any chance I get to talk about it, I will talk until my jaw falls off because oh my GOD I love these characters so fucking much.

Denial, Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam. Jam. Idk, this just feels like Jam in Sorry It's Locked. Specifically because as great (comparatively) as their relationship is there are still issues they're ignoring/staying in denial of. They definitely hook up too quick, they definitely need to talk things through more before they have sex, but they don't because they really don't have the time for that. They're making the best of a shit situation and as much as Tim would like to be sensible, he'd also like to do stuff before one or both of them ends up dead. They try to talk about stuff after they hook up but "How can we speak with all our clothes on the floor?"

"Say what you need and you can stay for a while, Say what I like so I can stay in denial" Jay talking to Tim methinks. He's just trying to forget everything. Everything that happened with Alex, everything that's happening with the Operator. He just wants something he can use to pretend his life is normal.

"Won't you come away with me? And water 'til we're overgrown" Tim being so very hopeful that they'll get out of this alive and well and they'll be able to grow older together.

"So just hypothetically, Will you be the death of me?" As much as they like each other, they definitely don't fully trust each other. In their situation they can't, so they're definitely wary of the other being the literal death of them lmaooooo. But also 'oh you'll be the death of me' in the fun cute way because like, sometimes they can pretend things are normal and their relationship is normal and came about in a normal way.

I was going to mention this in the replies of my last post (because it was mentioned in the notes, hi mutual you know who you are ahsushs) but ohhhhhh a mutual brought up Dorothy & religion & the major potential for some catholic guilt. I’d like to turn our attention to the album preachers daughter by Ethel Cain - I have been WAITING for this moment. I’ve already referenced her songs a ton while talking about Dorothy in the past but ahhhhh ahhhh that album reminds me of her !!!!!

That album is one that you have to listen to in order (because there’s a story: https://sbpress.com/2023/03/the-dark-story-of-ethel-cains-preachers-daughter/

Anyway i’ll fight the urge to ramble while my thoughts aren’t organized, but just know that I may (will definitely) end up rambling anyways

Religious (& catholic at that!!!!!!) trauma … my favourite … many thoughts …
