#i really dont like electronic bass music

[vyl3tpwny]

wauitb what the fuck i have 5000 followers

this is insane hi guys

to celebrate 5000 followers on tublr here are some facts about myself: - my favourite food is fried chicken

- my favourite food is spicy fried chicken

most of my hyperfixations fluctuate in and out, but some that don't ever seem to let me go are my little pony, half life, skrillex, undertale/deltarune

recently i have developed an unfathomable obsession with bees i have a huge bee hyperfixation i play bee swarm simulator on roblox every day and i watch bee videos and i also just designed a beesona on pony town its name is beetrice the dragon bee:

my favourite movie is probably wolf children or mr. bean's holiday or elf

im basically lucario for girls

i am like a dragon and i collect things that i like.. you can see some here:

i play a lot of instruments, mostly piano, drums, singing, and guitar/bass/ukulele. my first instrument was the drums tho which i started playing when i was 2 or something. i no longer play drums because our house is too small for a drum set right now and i dont like electronic drum kits. one day!!!!

i have had zero music lessons which is why you should also make music bc you dont need to spend life savings on music education to make chunes

non-musicians who have influenced me the most are @sterfler and @astroeden who have changed my brain chemistry forever artistically (this is not an exaggeration)

i am not allergic to anything at all somehow

im the motherfucker who will drink an entire gallon of whole milk with nothing else yeah im just kind of awesome like that

i do not drink alcohol (anymore) or smoke or do drugs or anything like that just a personal pref

i am filipino but i am also chinese and scottish and italian and polish and maybe other things

i have been openly queer since 2011

i have been a furry since 2007 or something?

i have been making music since 2007 or something....?

my first true love as a musician was queen, which (because of their older albums) was my rabbit hole into the world of progressive rock. my passion for creating music was nurtured entirely by my discovery of genesis and the album 'the lamb lies down on broadway'. the next thing that shaped me as an artist? skrillex - 'scary monsters and nice sprites'

i have really bad verbal processing issues so you can probably speak directly to me and i will have no idea what youre saying sometimes

my feelings on art change a lot but i update my topster lists every now and again

i am mostly right [hoofed] but i'm technically ambidextrous

my first concert was bruce springsteen i think it was in 2009. i still love the the boss to this day.

i'm a kitty cat

i am also a dragon

i am also a possum

i am a formless void

my first song i wrote when i was 8 was titled after a jimmy neutron reference

the second song i wrote was a fan song about the flying dutchman

i played the original dota warcraft 3 mods long before dota 2 and league of legends existed because i've been a blizzard fangirl since like 2005 and now i hate blizzard so fuck you blizzard you're evil as shit but anyway i used to try and do map development for warcraft iii games but really my favourite thing to do was build maps where i could build the biggest possible army to fight npcs for fun. one of the first videos on my thecobalion channel is a warcraft iii map someone else made. i've just now turned it off private so you can see it if you want.

my favourite kind of humour is recursive

ok thanks what i can remember about myself right now. thanks for following me!!!!

*Throws my music student hat in the ring*

Because the piano has a harp within it, you could class the string ghoulettes as air ghoulettes, but on the same proviso, you should technically be classing the keys ghoul as an earth ghoul, because the piano is technically a percussion instrument.

My instinct is water ghoul, because the cello and violin have four strings like the bass guitar, and because they fulfil a similar role in the ensemble; they’re the accompaniment. But fuck it, quintessence and fire are stringed instruments too, so go for your life! Pick whichever speaks to you!

Or invent a new category of ghoul entirely? 👀

i have thought about the piano-technically-a-percussion-instrument thing, which is funny that, in this band, we classify keys as air and not earth, despite the non-electronic version the keys/synth are built from is a percussion instrument!

@askingforthesun made an interesting discussion point to me about assigning elements to instruments, in that it may differ also based on the arrangement or type of group the instruments are used in; while drums are the constant rhythm of a rock band, the piano serves a similar function with these four ladies, therefore could be considered earth in that way as well.

you and @divine-misfortune agree about the cellos being closest to the bass (excluding a literal upright bass lol), and i feel like i would agree they feel very water to me. almost like that deep sea, haunting feeling, echoing the piano lines and giving them depth.

i thought earlier if the group had a violin i might classify that as fire, light and sharp as they usually are.

vocals we could assume is air, but the quality of this voice in particular is really giving me quint energy. ethereal and all-encompassing.

i dont know that we'll ever really agree on the elements, but that's also similar to how many people view swiss, sunshine, and aurora--as multis and hybrids. not to mention the two 'transitioned' ghouls, delta and dew. and really, the main reason we have assigned elements is due to the ghouls' uniforms and the papas' assignments over the years!

it just feels different with these four; everyone was so quick to jump on the new names within hours of seeing aether and sunny were gone, because they're in the band; we aren't really talking about these ghoulettes yet bc it was a one-off type thing. it would be cool if we came up with shared names but i dont know if we will!

i think my headcanons are shaping up to be:

vocalist: quintessence cellos: water piano: earth or air

with overarching idea that they're very old ghouls that have been with the church almost as long as its existed, even before the clergy itself was founded, as the group that provides music for mass and/or special occasions. this would mean the pianist would most likely know the organ as well (which circles back to that air element possibility tho lol!). while other ghouls have played hymns and the like too, i think they must be the 'staple' group, so to say. fairly private otherwise, but very loyal to the church and the spirituality aspect. keen on preserving their history. all of them well-respected and revered as 'keepers' of this history, as well as musical skill.

they just seem like really cool ladies worthy of appreciation in our fandom lore <3

Soundwave Stim HC

again i dont have much, these are mostly audio and physical but i really like these

Physical

tap tap ocasional 'nail' tapping, tapping fingers rhythmically on surfaces, etc usually isnt an active or noticed stim because instead hes typing and tapping away and keys and controls on the ship however can and will do this on occasion as a mindless stim

minor movements sort of just moving small joint/limb a tiny bit, head nodding or tilting barely noticeable tiny movements, almost stiff but still very much something he does. appears still especially when someone's looking at him but when not being perceived or doesnt notice eyes on him (or around someone hes more relaxed and comfortable around like perhaps starscream) hes doing little movements.

flexing not like humans showing off muscles kind of flexing but more like opening and closing his hand(s), raising and lowering his 'shoulders'. sort of goes in hand with the minor movements only these ones arent as small and a bit more noticable sort of does "clammy hand" gestures when uncomfortable, anxious or nervous. definitely picked up some of the physical stims from humans, we all know hes tuned in online 24/7

Audio

beat drop listening to heavy bass, electronic, synth or something more specific like daft punk if its too quiet and hes alone or starscream doesnt mind, music will be coming from him to fill the silence. will pull up something from the human's archives like youtube or spotify or tune into a radio station and find something that can work as background noise keeps the volume a little low though, hes still gotta be listening to coms and such so there cant bee too much noise all the time

repeat replays recordings of things he heard and likes. someone said something funny or that just sounds nice? hes got it saved and replays it when hes bored kinda like having a laugh track on hand if starscream slips up, he's got all the best vine references and tiktok audios. all the meme clips. this also really helps him express things better.

listener avid listener, talk to him, not so much interact hes not exactly the responsive type, he just listens. yes he may be recording but its mostly just so he can listen again later usually its starscream hes listening to yap away but truly doesnt mind, its something to listen to may prefer certain peoples voices over others though, specifically some cons voice over others filling the silence.

Visual

namesake watching things like literal sound waves, the thing of his namesake, can be really relaxing watching the lines and/or bars rise and fall with the pitch of a noise or voice is soothing almost always has this displayed on his screen, at least when hes playing a recording or something but if hes got his back turned to someone whos talking to him or they arent looking directly at him hes watching the sound waves of their voice while they speak. (yes hes still paying attention to the words)

Data Collection to quote another purple, logic-oriented, neurodivergent headcanoned character. "Data collection calms me down" loves just collecting data especially on something that hes become fixated on like view counts or like to dislike ratios on youtube videos. (he spends a lot of his past time on the human web) this is just something he likes looking at, watching numbers and lines change is amusing, simply put.

a lot of these are constant stims, he is chronically understimulated.

BRAT CHARLI XCX REVIEW!!!!!🔫🔫🔫

okayyyy so hi i know i have like no followers but i wanna try to review this album because i have alotttf of thoughts and i really wanna just air them out while theyre still fresh.

so my overall thoughts, its amazing. some of her best work since 2019's charli (i didnt love hifn and crash was just subpar in my mind). i love the raw vulnerability of the lyrics. and i love how the harsh electronic beats and the very poetic almost stream of conciseness lyrics compliment each other. and songs like club classics and talk talk are pure pop perfection. like talk talk is a summer anthem and club classics ive had on repeat since it dropped!!!!

and this goes into my complaints with the record. i just feel like theres a problem with the album NOT being a dance pop album like it was promoted to be. the lead up to this album was all about how this is a rave album and it is not. theres rave moments but most of it is very vulnerable poetry over electro beats. and on a couple songs i just dont think this works. for example, rewind. theres parts of the song that i live for, but i wish it was more like POP! like i understand and relate to the lyrics but with this pc music bubble gum bass instrumental i just dont get it. and also b2b i just never loved this song. the repetitiveness doesnt work in this song like @ all! and it makes it more disappointing how charli is the queen of repetitive hooks. it just doesnt have any substance to it as a song.

another thing i dislike its this version of 365😭😭 i like the idea of the 360 instrumental. but the outro is very underwhelming in my opinion. idk if its just not enough bass or anything but its just kinda flat as a song. the easyfun remix is really good but i hate shygirl

but after all that hating lets get into the positives!!!!! this is some of charlis best production. again talk talk is amazing but also everything is romantic is so amazingly produced with the string sections and beats and then that bridge with the vocal effects. WHICH IS ANOTHER THING I NOTICED, the way her producers edit her vocals throughout the album is so cool. like club classics being built around vocal loops i just nerd out on shit like that. 360 and mean girls being love letters to the chloe cherrys and julia foxes of the world i think is very sweet and of the time. although im not a fan of mean girls EXTREMELY literal lyrics, which im aware is the purpose but idk i dont feel it. i love girl, so confusing's beat drop (wish they did that with 365 but WHATEVERRR) and i love how it talks about having disagreements with another female artist without it being petty beef. and i have a problem with her fandom pitting her and other female artists together to be bitchy and fighting like its baddies. which is also a theme is sympathy is a knife with the "i hope i dont see her at my boyfriend's show" which can be about taylor or twigs.

either way charli doesnt have to be besties with these women but i think its so childish how charli's fans have created this like shade room type reaction to stuff like this. but that is a different convo for a different day.

i think about it all the time is a total highlight for me. its such an adorable song about a topic soo rarely touched in pop music. and that is the biggest positive to this album, it touches on things you dont see in pop music and does it in a very stripped way.

so now we get to so i. now we have gotten plenty of sophie tributes in the past couple years. and i think this is the most sincere of those. since charli was SOO close to sophie i think this is very loving and honest. and isnt a song about the image of sophie but the actual experience of being a close friend of her. so i give charli props for being so honest with the way shes expressing grief.

so final thoughts. i think this is one of the strongest and most unique pop albums in the last like 5 years. like i cant think of another pop album quite like this and i really enjoy it. and i honestly think it will grow on me more with more listens.

CURRENT RATING: 7.5/10

[HSR] comments on music structure

i think i lied when i said i was becoming normal. i think its funny how even with the zelda brainrot i know i have like 2-3 people reading it but i feel like no one gaf about these posts LMFAO. i dont think im gonna transcribe anything out yet bc im really lazy

anyways im sure this is all because hsr has maybe 2-3 people that do the music so obviously its gonna sound kind of similar but the one hallmark i keep noticing is this really idk bright/deep (its so embarrassing but i've only studied western classical theory and forgot half of it) bass reminiscent of a lot of older splatoon music (this one has it playing what i hear as the real main melody) which add another layer of harmony to the songs tbh. u can hear it at about 1 min in jing yuan's theme and maybe at about 0:55 in the 2.3 trailer and again its used in fu xuan's theme at maybe 0:55 again which lowkey sounded like " i took a pill in ibiza to me" ngl... (more on this one later); but tbh you really only hear this instrument w/ character themes (esp luofu) which honestly shows characterization thru the music ...(sam feels like an exception bc his theme is very bass driven after all despite not being from any of the xianzhou ships)

the next type of thing they tend to use in music a lot is really driven bass guitar lines... e.g. in bootleg's theme . this follows a pattern where at around 1:15 youll hear a bass melody then around 1:27 youll hear an almost imitation of the melofy which goes thru + builds up back into the main theme where he starts talking again. the concert commercial thingy does something similar but with the melody this time w/ the transition from guitar into a pretty much repetition with various insturments regarding each character (erhu for jingliu, ?? for argenti, then sax for that twink (more on him later)). space comedy does this too with the main melody we hear for herta/belobog then into luofu (i dunno the next thing about chinese theory so i cant really say much there)

anyways back to fu xuan... her theme is one of many orchestrated themes but it mixes it with that edm or whatever element but it still has those orchestral qualites of a really idk harmonic timbre. sparkle, black swan, also do this (more on the dance theme in another post i feel like that one needs more) but onto firefly and aventurine. firefly is actually what inspired this post bc at 0:12 or so that note is the exact same as aventurine's theme opens with. firefly's theme does the same as fu xuan's where it mixes traditional with electronic but with western instruments this time. i think aventurine really belongs with the upper category if not for the orchestral hits going on in the back and the call and response everywhere in his piece which give it direction because otherwise it feels like its going no where; but like before it uses imitation and repetition of past melodies with different instruments to create direction in the piece tbh

ok. maintenance ends soon trust. hopefully by next post i have more knowledge and my nail grows out bc its BROKEN and i cant play any string instruments. gootbye

[justforthedead]

do you have recommendations on where to start listening to fob ? i want to get into it but i’m kinda overwhelmed by everything they did and i’m Lost

ok fob was my first love, but i stopped listening to them until this past year, so ill give a quick over view of the albums so you can see which is you ~vibe~ because they evolve a lot,

i focus a lot on vocals/lyrics, im not a technical kinda guy this is just how i feel and what i can tell, it might be wrong

i got into fob with save rock and roll, theres a music video for each song that tells a story (movie esque), so honestly i recommend watching them in order and listening that way, its a good display of their overall talents/influences

take this to your grave is the first album (technically), angsty and stereotypical 'emo', maybe the "heaviest" album. patrick sounds starchy, pete does a lot of screaming, almost entirely guitars and drum based, the songs all sound pretty similar,

from under the cork tree is still heavy, pretty emo + guitar based, but more produced for lack of better words. they come more into their own style, definitely more cohesive as a band, patrick starts to use his "soul voice", less starchy

infinity on high is where they really start to do their own sound, a lot more emotional, the songs differ from each other, showcasing more of what each member is best at. focusing on portraying certain emotions for a song, they start to have 'slower' songs or sections

folie a duex is the worst album ever made it hurts me so much, they go a lot of directions, and do a lot of things. still a lot of alt influence, starts to get closer to gospel, but honestly i cant give an overall descriptor here, its my favorite album, each song relates to the last but is entirely different, guitar based, but they incorporate a ton of other shit, instruments +features

save rock and roll they go back to rock roots in some songs, but also exhibit genres like electronic + rap (bad wording), also a lot of features (blondie, big sean, elton john, more) . unlike the next album, the influences work really well together.

american beauty/american psycho is the balance point of emo/electronic, i listened to this a lot when it came out, but not much since. the balance limits it somewhat, in mania they actually explore and execute the electronics, in this one the guitar seems to fight with it.

mania departs from the guitars/emo influence, honestly i forced myself away from bandom before this was released, and dont have much time clocked in. pretty diff sound then everything else, very electronic sound, drum and bass kinda stuff, cohesive overall, tpain stylized-autotune vocals.

i can rec diff songs as jumping off points based on what you like if you want too, i did this off memory, but if i could listen through for specific stuff bc ill take any excuse to listen to fob

[poodledeer]

The timeline....

2015-2016

Dean 5 string bass, trans amber

First Act classical ( borrowed from a friend, first time really playing songs, noodling, recording)

First Act black strat (BORROWED from same friend electronics broken, use at practice with bass amp and clip-on contact pickup, first time hearing gain but not really. )

S*l's unbranded strat, BORROWED SOMETIMES he impresses me by being able to play Heat Seeking Ghost of Sex effortlessly, and some Asking Alexandria

2017-18

Anthony's parts strat (BORROWED at a few practices with jazz people from school)

pointy black ibanez shredder (BORROWED AND RETURNED ALL THE TIME at every practice while a certain friend is playing music with me, then leaves it with me and i record everything using it and a 1/4 in to 1/8 in adapter and a usb sound card. I'm not saying these recordinfs were good or good songs lol) I learned hammer ons and tapping on this and my friends are surprised that i know how to do downtuned chugging because i spend all day doing chromatic bullshit that sounds bad instead

2019-2022

Gozart butterscotch tele (First one that is mine!!!!!!!)(I mostly record demos direct-in, then simple ones miced up to an Orange Crush mini that i get gifted by karen. During uni i dont have anyone to play music with :( but i noodle to myself and do math tapping on this)

Squier bullet tele surf green (First university job.... This was a looker and i felt less bad being seen with it than the Gozart, but i never was seen anywhere with it except 2 times in the dining hall practice rooms with people i dont end up forming anything with :/) (When i remember moving dorms, moving all of my stuff by hand during covid bc i cant drive, i mostly remember holding this one, by the neck, walking up and down campus)

Ibanez artcore (Karen got me this while we lived in bay area together!!!! I'mpretty sure the action was fucked and it was my fault. It didn'tplay well after ending up on the east coast again and I didnt bother getting an allen key. It did remind me of the classical i started with though, and I played Brand New for my apartment mate to sing along to in my senior year [I don'tcare for Brand New] )

Unbranded sunburst strat from Karen's friend (he was graduating and I magnetically attract people to leave their unplayed guitars with me)

Mikael's dad's vintage tele (At practices with him; I severely don'timpress him, too razzled, not used to having amps or a drummer. My biggest L)

2023-2024

I get rid of all the ones i have, to instead use

Hello Kitty Squier (that was in my partners house already, probably second most recorded?)

Karen's bass (It says Bacchus on it, which is kind of amazing)

70s Epiphone restoration from the attic in this house... Its fretboard is dry as hell... not a player. Rubber rolling saddle bridge

eBay parts vintage white thinline tele (After hating the experience of the Kitty for nearly a year, I make this. In cruel irony i never get the setup to be as smooth, the strings as low, as hello kitty woth higher gauge strings on it, but at least i dont get blisters while using it, lol. The hello kitty went crazy up in value during this year because of youtube memes [I hate knowing this, but i found out about it] so we traded it into guitar center to get the parts money. Hey, nearly 20 years to get a little profit from a faceless corp?)

When i got rid of everything in 2023 got a trade in deal on a used huge Orange. I'm happy with it. Orange is the face of post hardcore scene kid bands and emo and whiners so it fits me. The stock speaker is excellent (I don't like how the v30s sound comparatively) but fizzles and tears way quieter than I expect. I guess i should mix it with a cab or get a better speaker and try to match it to this one with EQ. Don't really want to toy with buying things unless i can get rid of something to do it though

[eldritchsquared-albums]

Public Void - Penelope Scott

Cigarette Ahegao - WAY too electronic for my tastes and the singing style isnt really for me. stop saying uwu at me or ill kill myself

Lotta True Crime - i knew this song before and its a solid 6/10 i guess. song for edgy teens who think theyre so fucked up

American Healthcare (Glitzy)- good lyrics i guess, suffers from the same problem that the rest of the album does where the instrumentals are- sorry i have to pause because she just said "suck the devil's dick". song gets one point more for that i guess. but yeah the instrumentals arent for me.

Feel Better - ive heard portions of this song before and it never really caught my attention, and it continues to not catch my attention. the bass shouldve been in the entirety of the song and not just a few parts.

Moonsickness - did this really need to be the longest song on the album? its so. Nothing. if i didnt go and read the lyrics i wouldve thought it was about Nothing. that being said, the lyrics for this one are pretty good, but again, the actual sound of it is so Nothing. for a song with as cool of a name as moonsickness i really hoped id be pleasantly surprised. the only reason i didnt skip the last minute of this song was because i was really really hoping that itd be one of those songs that gets better around the end but no, it was just so nothing the whole time and never got any better.

Dumpster - is this the same beat she used for lotta true crime. i think it is. this song is short but i really wish the part at the end where there was some kind of distorted guitar played over a synth was longer. she started doing something really cool with the intrumentals and then it just. Stopped.

Rät - i knew this song as well before listening and i do passively enjoy it, but upon listening to the whole album at once its really just more of the same. i do still like it for the nostalgia value

IN CONCLUSION - this album feels like it was made in a lab for teen girls on tiktok. thats not a bad thing (even though i actively dislike it) its just not for me. im gonna split this conclusion into a few parts because i dont want to seem unfair i guess

THE BAD - there are only ever 3 instruments playing at once, and one of them is the drums (if you can call them that. its a beat i guess). the bitcrushed instrumentals really dont do it for me. girl you dont need to swear every few words. the album is way too short, and maybe should've been an EP. the sampling is clumsy and out of place. i cannot stress this enough: Stop Swearing Every Other Line

THE GOOD - the lyrics are pretty honest and she definitely has a lot of emotion shes trying to get out onto paper, and i can respect that. the melodies are catchy. when shes not swearing every line shes a really good lyricist.

THE NEUTRAL - i can definitely see why she has a following - this style of music is a style i know people really like.

its a 3/10 for my personal tastes, but a 5/10 album in general, so i'll average that to a 4/10

[angelkids]

ive been waiting for this one

- Status Symbol - KFC murder chicks

- Rage - KFC murder chicks

- Cicada - M1DY

- The Wheel (Is Turning Now) - Everything Everything

also unrelated but i've been listening to so much blksmiith it goes so hard thank you for recommending to mee

status symbol: im not entirely sure if this is the right song but it does feature the band so. i believe its the right one. i like the pumping crunchy bass in the first half. and woah this shift to the second half. really fun lol. i love the compression throughout the whole song. really ties the whole vibe together. great little beat with some funky loops. i enjoy. might definitely check out some more if i get hungry. very “ok i really like this one/downloading immediately”.

rage: haha now this is fucking hardcore techno. love it. its like the lisa soundtrack but pumped with steroids. freakin awesome. im not typically a hardcore person but i do listen to it as a treat every now and then. love the little breakdowns throughout the whole song. very fun. “kinda catchy”

cicada: ohohohoo. very upbeat jam. that fucking bass holy shit. this goes hard. the contrast between the silly, relatively calm piano loop segments to the massive drops with the bass. its so funny and i love it. this is the kind of music that makes me laugh out loud listening to it because its just so awesome. cant see myself listening to it all the time but i wont be mad to hear this. “kinda catchy”

the wheel: i really like the laidback sound here. great drums and some fun electronic flair. i dont have a whole lot to say other than i just enjoy the sound here. very pleasant. great vocals too. “ok i really like this”, says me

also yeah man blksmiith is great. im happy to share my favorite music genre with everyone.

[superchat]

I think you introduced me to r906 via Nounai Disco. Would you happen to have other vocaloid recommendations?

uhm uhmhmhmhmhmhm, i DO but theyre not all similar really. a big draw for me is the chords or the rhythm, nounai disco has some fun chords and is chock full of off beats in the melody which makes me go 😍 (so many vocaloid artists are like "what if offbeat?") heres a playlist i quickly threw together with some songs and artsits i really like!

unneceassry explaining under readmore

tsundere twintails makes some songs that range between bossa nova to kawaii future bass

kikuo is really fucking good and they tend to use a lot of great instruments for their songs. aishite aishite aishite, hole dwelling, and in a deep dark forest are my faves. their stuff is more like uhh....haunted circus or something

crusher-p makes a lot of vocaloid songs in english which you dont see too much and the energy or their songs is just really satisfying imo, aggressive bass 4 on the floor

MIMI makes a lot of really cute songs, full of fast little peppy piano notes, deet doot music ( :

pinnochio-p makes a lot of fun bangers, more electronic jams like r906. i like his lyrics too, pinnochiop will make a pretty catchy chorus but at the very final chorus he likes to throw in a secondary chord and i love it. he does it almost every time

DECO*27 is good too, dont have much to say, their songs are shorter but theyre really good a finale in a song

kurage-p makes like. rock music? metal? idk i have a hard time discerning the two genres.

utsu-p makes heavy metal and is a rare vocaloid artist who does so, i like his stuff a lot!

BIG SUBGENRE OF OF SYNTHETIC VOICE ARTISTS IS WHITE BOX ARTISTS WHICH HERES A PLAYLIST FOR IT. THERES A LOT OF FUN HISTORY BEHIND IT, kind of a meta genre i think

[zephyrsnoww]

fair! ive never been super into musicals myself but i def understand the appeal!

im taking this as an excuse to rant about weird niche genres, so, wall of text incoming

i think a lot of my taste in music comes from rhythm games, ive loved music my whole life, and ive enjoyed vidya games plenty too, so i fell in love with rhythm games real fast. i was also introduced to games like beat saber by someone who was really into the competitive side, going for ranks and playing the hardest maps, which meant a lot of very fast songs. some of those songs are just like.. 300bpm hard metal, but i never really got into those. so for some reason i latched onto stuff like 2,000 bpm edm, genre-switch hardcore, and dumb stuff like that.

those three are more.. popular? examples? i dont think any of the music in these genres counts as "popular", but those are more popular than some of the other stuff i listen to.

here are some lists:

insane:

Asatsumei - Raw-Mi Kawaii

Hampton the Hamster - The Hamsterdance Song (SCHWANK'S TERMINALLY ONLINE BOOTLEG)

Kobaryo - RTX 20000

ReeK - Party Pooper

Revenge (ReeK's "Dude, What's A Genre?" Remix)

less insane:

CHROMA - SINK TO THE DEEP SEA WORLD (FIFTH DREAM PARALLEL "WORLD END CATHARSIS" FLIP)

Onegai Muscle (ReeK's "Sapporo Beatdown" Remix)

Sylvir / Sakuraburst - THE SKIES OPEN

1788-L & totto - O R G A N I K

anything by bye2

i dunno how to describe them but theyre bangers? theyre weird. but theyre bangers:

aspect - Alynthia

Frums - Thinker Walker Dreamer Scatter

Frums - チューリングの跡

dynastic - Gecko Blitz

dashie - flamingo

i think a really big part of why i enjoy niche genres so much is because so many of them are so interesting. artists like ReeK/Asatsumei are just insane. the stuff they do is stupidly high quality for all the dumb memes and stupid jokes they make. Frums is an amazing jazz artist that makes weird, strange electronic soundscapes and uses really interesting time signatures and key changes and everything. seeing small artists make weird decisions is really interesting, and i love the super wide variety of sounds you can get from different people.

i cant be all pretentious about all of it though, a lot of it is just because my music taste is shot to hell and i love fast upbeat rhythms and bass-y songs and stuff like hardcore/rawstyle and breakcore. and hard beat saber maps lol

i think i listen to this dumb insane music a lot more often, but i do really love all the stuff i put in my first response. you cant really sing along to most of the songs i put in this one, lmao

Ah! A fellow music enjoyer!? What kind of music do you like??

Sorry for the rando question LOL! Just saw you rebloged the same animatic a bunch XD

lmao all good! i dont get many asks but im happy to answer stuff, so ty!

i reblogged that animatic cuz thats a song i havent listened to in a while, but i absolutely love it. and obviously im a huge sucker for wings of fire, too, so, i loved that animatic.

most of the music i listen to is batshit insane niche EDM genres (if you want a few examples of those i will gladly provide), but i have a few spotify playlists just for songs that i think would make a good animatic/meme, some of which ive seen used! so i can list a few of my favs here, in no particular order:

HUNNY - Vowels (and the Importance of Being Me)

. . TKRV BAND AU ! ( repost )

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

浮世 /-ukiyo ( " living in the moment " -detached from the bothers of life )

vocalist! & rhythmguitarist!keisuke

leadguitarist!kazutora

drummer!nahoya

bassist!sanzu

keyboardist!souya

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

the forming process of the band :

the kawata twins have always had musical professions since a very young age & they both work at their families record shop. souya was a bit more insecure about the idea of forming a real band but nahoya had set his mind onto it and they both eventually found the best fitting members

keiuske on the other hand was never really invested in such things as music. he only took piano classes when he was little because is mother had forced him to. nahoya was the first one to take notice of his voice ( ignoring canon cause i hate his anime voice ) he has a more boyish voice that sounds a bit tempered sometimes, and nahoya thought it would be perfect for their band. although he knew keisuke wouldn't be convinced easily he still insisted now and then but kei would only play it off. he eventually got convinced and started learning to play the guitar, i think kei is a naturally talented guy so it wasn't hard for him to catch up on the flow of music

playing the violin was a big part of kazutoras life, well, until he ran away from home and left that behind aswell of course. after he started working at the kawatas record shop he started to develop a strong connection with music. souya taught him how to play the electronic guitar and this time unlike in his childhood -when he was forced to play an instrument and was expected to be excellent at it- he enjoyed it. i believe that kazutora was actually the real reason behind why keisuke got convinced about joining the band. he never saw his best friend be so eager and excited about something before and since kazutora is one of his soft spots he agreed on it

sanzu .. well how do i say it.. i dont think anyone (including sanzu himself) knew his capability of playing an instrument so good or even just play and instrument at all. pretty sure sanzu has always been a guy full of surprises. anyways, sanzu liked the idea of playing in band cause he saw it as an escape of the boredom life contains. so basically a single "why not?" had him convinced already

the naming process of the band ;

"We need a name"

"A name? For what?" kazutora asked pensively

"a name for the fucking band you moron" nahoya said being tempered by his friends stupid question

after hearing nahoyas statement souya and keisuke eyed each other fo a mere minute "Kei and his minions" keisuke said playfully while leaving back and adjusting his waist on the seat, having the widest grin on his face almost as if he was proud of the idea he just made up to annoy his band mates

"I'm not fuckin' playing in a band called kei and his minions" a voice from the opposite corner of the room, Sanzu. He was fixing the strings of the bass that was sitting on his lap, clearly annoyed and intoxicated by the alcohol they had drunk.

Their first performance was bound to be tomorrow night and before that nahoya and kazutora thought that it would be a great idea to ease up and have a little drinking session together with the rest of their friend group. 'Mikey and the others seem to be more excited about the performance rather than some of the bandmates themselves' souya had said to sanzu while throwing dirty looks at keisuke who didnt seem to take anything related to the band seriously

"were gonna have our first performance tomorrow and we still dont have a name for the band. it's time we find something proper" after hearing souyas statement everyone went silent and seemed to be thinking about an actual name.

"Ukiyo" kaztora muttered drowsily

"ukiyo? Isn't that too basic?"

kazutora rolled his eyes "How many bands do you know are named fucking Ukiyo, Sanzu?"

"Plus I think it sounds neat. It was written on a lighter that a borrowed from a girl the other day. She was cute too"

keisuke shook his head in agreement "Nah I think ukiyo sounds good. nahoya can you pass me the water bottle fuck i'm gonna be hungover tomorrow"

Souya sighed, trying to press back his worries

"alright Ukiyo is it then. But dont fucking tell people that you got it from 'a cute girls lighter', kazutora"

mannn i had to rewrite this shit cause i accidentally deleted it but the one before kinda flopped so it's no big deal

&& reblogs are really appreciated btw !! since this got deleted lmao

[batarangsoundsdumb]

hae interrogationes multae respondeant quia demens .

if you read this entire ask post you deserve a gold star and financial recompensation

Um, Obviously because when you’re adopted by a white guy you automatically become white duhhh

this is about this post lmao and yeah youre absolutely right, you have to hand your poc card in when you get adopted by a white guy.

Do you think Cass would listen to Yanni, the YouTube channel epic symphonic rock, or some other stuff? There's some cool mashups but idk if that's up your alley, I kinda feel like I'm pushing it with my weird taste of music by recommending an orchestra cover of metal, but i just love that sort of thing and mashups :P @harvestyourcherries 

i haven’t heard of that? but in my personal (correct) opinion steph listens to classical music, and then both modern and older, and then also stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, but also hardrock and hardcore. i like the idea of cass just liking the most extreme screaming songs full of noise and then also listen to pachelbel’s 370th sonata yanno? THANK YOU for the rec tho

speaking of ur cass playlist hc...reminds of the time (yesterday) i found 2 playlists randomly on spotify from the same user. one was abt 3 hours of instrumental/classical "dark" & "nostalgic" music. the other almost 11 hours of nothing but hardcore bass/synth/electronic music. just an incredible tightrope act to put on in public. the synth one was also called like "psalms for synth sluts" which is Also incredible

tbh i LOVE synth SO MUCH like for no reason at all but then also cannot handle a poppy electronic beat lmao. but this seems like the kinda thing i’d do but just in one (1) playlist bc i just sort songs by vibe instead of genre? that’s how i end up with britney spears and billy ray cyrus in the same playlist. 

Oh, I want Kate Kane playlist next! It would be amazing if you could do one when you have time and will 🙏

how rude would it be of me to just say no? like sorry kate but idk you and also you seem way too keen on the us military for an institution that homophobically targeted you? (and also commits war crimes) but let’s unpack the fact that the institution that caused the death of your mom and sister and also got you blacklisted for being gay is still one you align with???

'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' --- when i tell you i fucking screamed LOL!!!!!!! i can imagine the cameraman not knowing if he should cut to commercial or keep it on these two weirdos fighting on stage (bruce definitely ruffled dick's hair/noogied him right?? 

about this post but yeah lmao. this cameraman just turns to like the audience to get a reaction and it’s just multiple moments of CLEAR shock.

you are the only funny person on this hellsite

how egotistical is it for me to say that i get this ask multiple times a month? bc it literally happens so often it’s hilarious to me.

Wish there was more john/Bruce content 😔😔😔 was so hungry I actually looked at canon media 😔😔😔 (Justice League Dark babeeeyyyyyy)

check out batman: damned for some mediocre content but at least it’s john/bruce (also very interesting story and stuff, just got very >:( over this weird part where harley quinn tried to r*pe bruce or something? it’s not for everyone)

dick grayson but he's nicki minaj

his anaconda don’t want none,,, unless...... 

Dick Grayson was never a cop, he played Marshall on Paw Patrol

you are SO right. also paw patrol is a fucking good show idc. that shit could’ve been the new steven universe on this hellsite.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1lI0bLI7-/?utm_medium=copy_link

...

why do people keep reposting my CONTENT. if you are not funny yourself don’t just grab shit off of tumblr and post it on insta,,, get a life. sidenote: should i start an insta and get all these ppl to take my content down that would be funny as hell.

Might I suggest for a Gotham City Meme: something about the true crime fandom thirsting for the rogues gallery

ok can i just say something slightly controversial?? no? i don’t find true crime ppl who are into criminals funny, that shits disturbing irl im not gonna bring that into my very chill universe.

i may have never seen a 'jason cleaning guns in sink' fic but i do know he WOULD

THANK YOU

bestie im sorry to say this to you but while you can, and people do wash their guns in the sink, that is a lot of lead in a very vital part of the kitchen.

people tend to do it in the bathtub.

WHY???? like damn why do you even have guns

i dont think i read many gun sink fics exactly but i have read lots of fics where jason cleanes his guns in the living room. usualy dissembles them and cleans them with a rag i think

lmao fair enough, like i think that’s a large part of what i remember as well.

if you say you've seen/read gun sink fics I believe you. I think those of us who didn't see them are lucky or maybe didn't search for fics by tags or something idk

i mean ive never sought them out but i HAVE seen them,, like definitely i know almost for certain.

saw your tags and I'm interested in Steph/Kara now. They would be the most chaotic couple <3

literally thoooo, i have a wip where they get together in a zombie apocalypse and like UGGGHhhh i am so in love with them.

I am the Breece anon. Thanks for the recommendation; am reading now. I’ve always been a hardcore Superman fan because I love my pure himbo farm boy. My logic is, if one Bruce is a Broose, then multiple Broose are a herd of Breece. And this is a hill upon which I will perish.

fair enough,,,, like moose, meese, goose, geese, bruce, breece. i get your logic and i stand by it as well. (glad you enjoyed the comic recs!!!!)

It's a beautiful day in Gotham, and you are a group of horrible Breece

OH my god dude lmao

there only being 42 fics on ao3 for tim and bernard is honestly so sad i need more

it’s like twice that now!!! we did it lads. (tho very sad that my fic isnt number one but like number 4 :((((  )

i'm too late you already did the poll lol but may i suggest bethy (bernard + timothy)

shit dude that wouldve been so fucking funnyyyyy. think ppl have just stuck to timber tho, tim/bernard kinda died down recently and i think it’s too bad, they’re a great couple and i love them.

Wait, hear me out

Bernothy @redlightofdawn

great recommendation (lmao this ask is from like a month ago) but very sorry to announce that NARDTH is the superior shipname

Wait, we know that bernard likes milfs (Tim's step-mom) but what about dilfs? gilfs?

Wait no, I regret sending that ask

these were two seperate asks and they’re HILARIOUS. in my personal opinion tho,,, milfs, gilfs, dilfs are just about vibes and bernard is just attracted to sexy ppl who may sometimes be milfs, dilfs, or EVEN gilfs.

crime in bludhaven would drop to half if nightwing had a boob window. in this essay i will-

WHERE’S THE ESSAY ANON, WHERE’S THE FUCKING ESSAY

Wait if Barbra and Tim r at opposite ends at all times what happened to Barbra once everyone’s Tim’s ever love before started dying lol

she won a lottery ticket and spent 2 weeks on a resort in the bahamas before returning home and finding out that the joker was arrested for tax evasion and then spent a month staying at her big tiddie goth girlfriend’s house before conner came back to life and she broke her pinkie playing table hockey.

Why is the opposite end thing so funny and compelling to me. Tim comes back from his depression quest for Bruce and Babs is now a literal god

lmao when tim loses his spleen barbara reaches nirvana.

Are you still taking music recs because I have three songs that remind me of Jason that I think you'd like

send to me or lose a toe

thanks, i wont tho on account of i wont.

⬆️

This is the whole of Blüdhaven and everyone anywhere.

Nightwings ass alone saves more people in a calendar year and does more for so society than most heroes do their whole career.Also u are one of the funniest tumblr pages out there. The vibes are unmatched and the memes and tags ✨send me✨.Thank u and goodnight @julia-flow 

fanksss also lmao.

That's going to be a little bit difficult to explain, but

There's some music that you listen to and you think, "oh my gosh, I can perfectly imagine Dick Grayson singing this song, with the same voice as the singer because that voice matches with Dick Grayson"?

oh yeah totally lmao. i have a lot of songs that i think are just entirely dick grayson yanno? kind of all of my playlists have that vibe, but i really find bleachers to fit with dick? idk.

"Lois lane/Superman" fics this, "Lois lane/Clark Kent" fics that, (/lh) let's get into the real good stuff. Some people ship Lois, Clark, and Superman as a throuple. Most popular fic tag for sure

yes totally, i think they’d be absolutely killer on ao3 and clark gets so fucking embarassed about it.

I miss your post, hope you’re doing okay!!

haha this was like 2 months ago, but i was doing fine then too! just didn’t have a lot of inspiration in terms of content.

Doot doot!

noot noot

I’m confused. What did DC do now? Like with nightwing? And another sibling? Please spoil everything for me

lmao they gave him a secret sister plotline where they had his dad cheat on his mom with tony zucco’s wife, bc dick’s life wasn’t traumatic enough yet.

sorry but it's so funny that batman is called "the dark knight" when the gotham city baseball team is called the gotham knights. it'd be like if a vigilante was running around new york called like "the scary yankee"

lmaooo no. but like yankee comes from dutch names or something so wouldnt it be HILARIOUS if gotham knights came from like german names and bruce would be running around called the dark KLAUS UND NIEK @graysonnightwing 

(not a batcest shipper) it’s so funny to me that the responses are “i’m a batcest shipper because i can differentiate fiction from reality and and it doesn’t bother me personally, but i understand why you oils think it’s weird” to “i wish all batcest shippers a very fucking die”

yeah lmaoo. i personally basically flipped my entire stance around to ‘i dont care please leave me and everybody else alone’ bc i think there’s really no point in starting a moral dillema over some fucking fandom bullshit. Please just,,, go home,,, log off, find a nice forest to have a little walk in and remember that somewhere in history, somebody probably died in the place you’re standing. and you will also die someday, and somebody will have to look at your internet usage and see you fighting multiple people anonymously while being named ‘nightwingsbuttchin200186′ like... calm down, we’re all gonna die this is not the thing to worry about.

so since like "wards" don't really exist in modern society almost all the batkids are foster kids, right? i used to work in the system and imagine: monthly visits from social workers and guardian ad litems, bruce having to get permission to take the boys anywhere out of state, calling their social worker at like 8 a.m. like "yeah dick broke his arm again... a gymnastics accident this time...." their poor social worker. bruce send her a huge bouquet and box of chocolates every month to stay on her good side

i imagine the social worker just getting into the case like ‘yeah let’s get this kid a good guardian’ and then ending up having to work with 22 y/o bruce wayne and his 50 y/o dad. and so this social worker is like ‘okay we can work with this, this is the best home i can find’ and then like it ends up landing on its feet and then the kid gets adopted and then they get a call a year later like ‘uhm so hi, this kid tried to steal my tyres can i adopt him?’ and like 3 years later. ‘okay so basically, my neighbours’ kid imprinted on me and now they’re dead, can i keep him?’ two years later it’s like ‘okay so this assassin child-’

ever since I saw that one post of yours, the meme that's something like "I know that abba's backup dancer got me" with a picture of discowing, I've been haunted. Every once in a while I'll be minding my own business then the image of abba's backup dancer dick grayson aka nightwing aka discowing will flash in my mind and I'll be frozen in place. Today at work I was in the middle of folding clothes and suddenly once again discowing entered my mind and I suddenly lost the ability to see anything except He. Thank you.

wow. the IMPACT.

Braver than any US marine man props to you🤝

this shit is about the time i wrote an article on batcest, like man,,, the fact that i didn’t get cancelled is MIRACULOUS. also like,,, uh if anybody on here did gossip on me,, send screenshots i’d love to see it.

Hello, just wanted to say your article was great. Thank you for taking the time to provide an unbaised answer. It should provide people with nuances they couldn't possibly conjure on their own.

May I ask where your username originates from?

yes you may (also thanks!!!) i thought it up when i was trying to find an original username bc i didnt want to be called like ‘timdrakes something something’ or ‘jason todd something smoething’ or ‘dick grayson something something’ yanno? so i thought batarangs, they sound so dumb and that’s my username story... now it’s my whole entire brand lmao.

yno that bit in kick ass where red mist asks kick ass if he wants a hit of his blunt, was that the inspo for stoner tim

no? it’s bc i think stoners are hilarious and drugs are great. (dont do drugs tho) 

How would u feel if someone actually wore one of those bruce or ollie pride shirts u edited

fenomenal next question.

Dick as lil huddy and Jason as James gave me radiation poisoning and now I’m screaming crying throwing up so thx for that

(Rico suave as Tim is perfect tho literally no changes needed)

i was so funny for that shit wasn’t i??? lmao i loved those weird ass fancasts

You're doing the Lord's work by providing us with all these Gotham/Metropolis citizens memes, thank you for being so relentlessly funny @nellethiel-aranel

you’re welcome!! i really enjoy making memes, but getting validation for my content and my memes is REALLY nice.

Bruce is such a slut in your memes and honestly i love that for him @rhodey-rhudert-rhodes-main 

he’s that much of a slut irl too dw.

Bruce and Alfred have an emergency pride flag for the batkids. Oliver Queen printed an emergency "I love my gay son" t-shirt and as soon as Roy told him he was dating Jason, Oliver started wearing that shirt everyday and Roy always cringes when he sees it. Oliver also has an emergency "I love my lesbian daughter" shirt just in case for Cissie.

lmao YES i had a post like this bc like all of their kids/family members are so gayy

stop bringing back batfam fancasts it is not real it is not real it is not- 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

oh yes it is my darling.

did discowing burn down the notredam because he hates the bees? @allulily

no he did it bc fuck the french.

im gonna beg for 1 thing and 1 thing only. please please please put physical by olivia newton john on dick's playlist

okay then beg. bc i wont. physical reminds me too much of glee and that hurts me mentally.

your playlist is sorely missing some Madonna. Specifically Into the Groove, Like a Prayer, and Vogue

i’m scared of madonna that’s why she’s not on there. she haunts me in my dreams.

suggestion: son of batman by aaron dews for dick’s playlist🤩

sorry, i listened to it and the vibe didn’t agree with me.

Hear me out, metropolis citizens sending rare pair fics of Clark Kent x Superman fics to Lois to edit

yes, absolutely hilarious. even more funny if they send like physical copies, no address attached and lois sends it back marked with red ink, SOMEHOW

Imagine all the smut Clark must of read editing the fics

clark reads smut confirmeeed

NOT LOIS READING SUPERBAT PORN AND EDITING IT A 2AM 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

hc that alfred is a meta that boosts healing factor of the people around him. if the bats are injured as much as they seem to be they would be doing bat stuff MAYBE half the year. no one including alfred knows about this. whenever the kids move out they inexplicably dont recover from injuries as fast and feel better whenever they visit the manor they just chalk it up to homesickness. bruce just thinks he heals really fast. alfred thinks everyone doesnt take care of themselves properly @finchcollector

that’s actually such a great idea, but i think that alfred would find out and learn how to concentrate it better so he can help more people, bc he’s great and i love him.

One of your dickfast posts reminded me of that tweet that goes: 'so you've had sex how many times? Yeah technically that's not a bromance' lol that's dickwally or dickroy

literally tho. like that’s all of dick’s friendships. once it gets past a certain time dick is like ‘wow i wonder what it would be like to make out with wally, wally come make out with me’ and wally’s like ‘we’ve done this like 40 times, dick, you know what it’s like’ and dick is like ‘sorry are you complaining?’ and they just make out.

superfam and batfam associations??

-batman and superman

-dick/barabara and supergirl?

-conner and tim

-jon and damian

pls enlighten me I am confused

nope,,, uhm batman and superman, but dick and superman as well, and then conner and tim, jon and damian and steph + babs with supergirl

I came across a fic in which Wonder Woman calls Batman "Stella" (like Stellaluna, the children's book) and I can imagine the batkids hop on the trend and maybe copies of the book appear at random places (aka, everywhere Bruce frequents)

sorry can’t reciprocate that was the name of my high school chemistry teacher and it gives me nightmares to think about.

good human what are your pronouns?

wouldn’t you like to know?

I need me some gothamites preferring harley over joker memes

everyone prefers harley over joker youre just very fucked up if you dont

don't understand why people try to add like veteran policy to the batfamily

dick pulling out his veteran batfam member card so he can eat first: step aside, peasants

Do you know the song Simmer by Haley Williams? It (the first verse anyways) reminds me of Jason? It's about rage.

damn yeah i LOVE HAYLEY!!!! youre right thoo

Okay so I like listen to your stoner Tim Drake playlist 24/7 but would he listen to skegss? Also I keep adding songs mentally it’s killing me 😩✋🏼 Anyways,, I literally love and worship your playlist 😃🤞🏼 And uh yeah have a good day ✨

stoner tim drake playlist is lyfeeee. also dont know who skeggs is? i’m stupid? have a good day!!

All the Robins (and Batgirl) decide to trade costumes for one night just to fuck with Batman and all the villains in Gotham. @subspacecadet 

batman knows it’s them youknow but like,,, what does he call them? he’s like ‘red hood?’ and 3 people answer and he’s not about to compromise some identities so he’s just Pissed.

I aspire to treat cops the way my dad treats them. This man is a 45 year old Asian immigrant to the US and the treats them like his pets. He talks about them like unruly children. Sometimes he pays off local cops to shut up and stop acting racist. And usually it works. I don’t know why but I can see Oliver Queen doing this

vibes... and also yes? oliver queen handing a local cop a donut to shut the fuck up lmao. but yanno i commit enough crimes to not really want to ever see a cop ever, so they kinda scare the everloving fuck out of me.

seeing as tim hasn't aged in years, that means he was 17 at peak emo tumblr era. im back on my emo tim bullshit and im not letting it go

emo tim had a wattpad account send tweet

People seem to think that batman is so dark and serious when the rainbow batsuit is right there. He wore it with no shame.

dude the 60s were a DIFFERENT TIME

dick grew up in a circus, jason grew up on the streets, and tim was probably raised by the internet

all of them cuss every other word and you cannot tell me otherwise

bitch i KNOW but dc has to change to an 18+ rating if they want to sell comix with swear words in them so we gotta deal with imagining the swear words in ourselves

thoughts on teen titans and young justice

haven’t seen teen titans on account of havent seen it and young justice was LITERALLY my favourite thing ever, tho i do gotta admit it’s not at all similar to the young justice comics unfortunately. i really wouldve liked to see timmy bart kon cassie and cissie animated on tv!!

ew ew ew how to delete batcest shippers I genuinely digust them

log off tumblr?

Okay as poc who was called racist for calling an Italian pastabrain: in the batfam are Italians bit Damian just yells various insults about the others being Italian. Just him yelling “What are you doing you moronic spaghettihead!” At steph etc

huh? i meant real italians. homeboy is telling steph he hopes she chokes on her fucking garlic.

I think it's dumb as hell to pull the batman is the best fighter in the batfam argument because like it's just irresponsible of Bruce to let his kids fight when they couldn't possibly be on his league or something

fair enough, but also like who cares they could all kill you just sit down and take a beating.

lady shiva, thalia al ghul and Selina Kyle are all milfs @notanothertimburtonenthusiastugh 

unfortunately, i have to admit,,, you’re right

why tf didn't someone give joker a death sentence already? like he's a mass murderer...give him the electric chair treatment wtf

idk i think plenty of people would have tried to murder him already (boring answer is: he is a popular character so they can’t kill him off bc he brings in lots of money)

There’s no such thing as “ copaganda”.

all american media is propaganda. happy to clear this up for you

is it bad that I find lady shiva owa owa

no. find her as owa owa as you want.

aight I'm guessing the order of your favs in batfam:

1. tim

2. Steph

3. dick

4. Duke

5. the rest

you’re wrong but it’s cute that you tried, i generally don’t have favourites, but i have a special place in my heart for steph, tim, dick and cass. bc they were like my introduction to batfam. but damian, jason, duke, bruce, babs and alfred are NOT FORGOTTEN OR UNLOVED

oh my god i was literally just readily willing to believe that italians werent white ty for clarifying it was a joke im so dumb sdkvjskdfs

i mean some italians aren’t white? italian is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

since I saw so many people doing headcanons about the nationalities of batboys, I see Dick as an Italian.

dont know if youre serious or not, but sure.

super random but

jason 🤝 damian

old english

lmao fair enough.

tim absolutely has 1 gay uncle and his parents shit talk said uncle all the time so after bruce adopts him he specifically reaches out to this uncle to be like "heyyyy just so you know you majorly influenced my life yes i know i havent seen you since i was 5 and at the family reunion yes i know you dont remember my name idc thank you im gay too" and then they never talk again.

yuppp lmao that’s definitely something that could happen. i can also consider tim having no family members, like none. until he does like a dna test and he realises he has like an aunt living barely 2 miles away from him who’s like some illegitimate child of his grandpa.

I dare you one of them sends clark superman/clark fic and clark corrects the shit out of it and then goes like ps his dick is not that big, just telling as someone who has seen it. internet either explodes or goes who tf did he not fuck at this point.

i think everybody would call clark a buzzkill and try to cancel him over that.

so you're telling me Tim Drake wouldn't buy Starbucks?

no. dunkin donuts all the way

One of my favorite things is imagining people finding out jason came back from the dead and being like "oh no does he have magic powers now?!?!?" and he just pulls out a gun and tries to shoot joker

now he doesn’t even have the gun :) lmao

my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context

bruce gets codename ‘ugh’ everytime. he hates it.

crazy that tim being a 17 y/o ceo and a stoner who does brand deals are all actual canon things written in detective comics comics and not made up for shits and giggles by you, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb @rowdeyclown

SO CRAZY HUH?

batman au where everything is the same but his utility belt is bright pink

absolutely, but i raise you, his boots light up like sketchers when he kicks people.

unbeknownst to the superhero fandom writers in the dcuniverse, clark and BRUCE are one of the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag on ao3. clark writes the best lois x superman angst, full of unhappy endings and scenes that are a so detailed you'd think you were in the middle of a superhero beatdown. bruce made an ao3 account to fuel "the do the butts match" thing, and makes batman/bruce fics from time to time. he wrote a superbat fic as a joke but ended up making it REAL porny. @concrastinator

dude they’re WAY too busy for that. Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan on the other hand are the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag writing what is Mostly porn.

When the dining table topic gets to politics, Steph says "eat the rich" as the solution

bruce just silently takes away her fork and knife while she’s talking.

[batmanshole]

awesome yay

ok i think dick is a casual listener, and he listens to a lot of disco and new wave. anything funky and fun and kind of bizzare. he likes that. also a fan of power anthems / ballads / celine dion. knows more mcr lyrics than he'd like to admit. probably tried to pick up an instrument at some point but never fully committed. likes to sing, has a comforting voice but isn't like, super duper talented or anything. middle of the road yk.

jason canonically listens to weird bands (if u look at the posters in his room when he was a kid, its like local punk bands and itallian goth rock) but i feel like when he gets older hes just. genuinely one of those people who doesnt listen to music. like he goes to the gym and trains in silence like a freak. on the rare occasion he does listen to music i think its like, female led punk bands. also he has a deep singing voice and tried to learn bass guitar when he was younger,

tim listened to slipknot in HS (i think this was on a poster in his room at one point) and i think he totally likes vocaloid too. hes one of those "i like everything but country, kpop and-" guys, ie he listens to a few genres but not all. doesnt like to sing. he plays the electric guitar and knows a little bit on the drums.

steph likes riot grrl, electronic music, anything experimental, and like, the most hardcore metal you can find. if it hurts an old person's ears she loves it. will sing iconic pop songs with dick. also has a soft spot for classic fall out boy songs. plays the drums and is super good at it.

cass likes classical ballet music (duh) but has developed a soft spot for steph's weird music (esp riot grrl). she doesn't sing but can play a bit of bass guitar and really enjoys it. anything she can dance to she loves really.

duke is one of those guys that will literally listen to ANYTHING (what tim wishes he was) but doesn't like. stan anything. he just listens to music. he has a huge collection of songs but dont ask him anything about the artist because he doesnt know. plays the bass guitar and the flute. one of his bass guitars was jasons bc jason needed more room to store his weapons and didnt play it anymore.

i honestly have no idea what bruce would listen to. the man is an enigma.

should i explain my music headcannons for various batman characters

in regards to your recs (🎸)

kaikai kitan by eve: i love my pop rock and omg the guitar???? THE CHORUS IS SO CATCHY HELP ITS SO ??????? the slight hip hop influence in the second verse is so fun wowowowowow… and the instrumental bridge is carried out in such a fun manner… wow that was so good…

villain by teniwoha: oh the intro is so fun OH IT REMINDS ME OF GLITCH POP OHHH THE WAY IT ADDS MORE INSTRUMENTAL LAYERS AND PROGRESSES OHHHHHH okay my god the bass in between chorus and second verse so good oh OKAY this is random enough to keep interest but not too random that it’s just weird

show off (vocaloid ver) by 和田たちあき: this vocalist reminds me of the teniwoha one (like an electronic midi generated/edited vocal) and despite the differ in genre it’s STILL SO FUN i love the more traditional smoother/natural band set up instrumental it’s so cool and adds a contrast between the more disjointed electronic voice

dramaturgy by eve: it’s slightly more laidback than kaikai kitan but still as good OH THE SECOND PART OF THE CHORUS ?????? i’m not getting over this chorus it’s just???? the vocalist note rises are just so catchy… and the way it slowly leads into the chorus again… a tentative few lines of the chorus with less layers and then the finale.. wow

konoichi demo koi ga shitai by mikito p: the vocals have been slightly edited and it makes it more fun omg and the combo of electronic and traditional for the accompanying harmony… the electronic arpeggios in the background are so fun omg THE INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE WITH THE LIGHT LEAD GUITAR the way this song leads into chorus.. THE GUITARS… wow

i added these all to my playlist your music taste is SO good i cannot stress this enough wow……

HELLO HELLO!!!! omg i hope u know that complimenting my music taste means we're best friends now sorry i dont make the rules /j

anyways SO SO glad you liked all of them!!! im a BIG fan of energetic instrumentals and layering so im happy we agree there lol <3 if you like the more glitchy vocals and things that are more on the math rock side, id suggest checking out tsumiki's album sakkac craft which i have been listening to on loop for weeks now ngl, it just scratches my brain???

ALSO SPEAKING OF THE VOCALS ON THE SECOND THIRD AND FIFTH ONES, all three of those songs are made with vocaloids!!! villain uses the vocaloid flower, show off uses otomachi una, and kunoichi demo koi ga shitai uses both hatsune miku and kagamine rin!!! its really really amazing how people can make vocal synths work so well with all different ranges of instrumentals, yk??? and like all three songs are pretty different its a testament to how different vocaloid songs can be!!!

the other two, kaikai kitan and dramaturgy, are by eve who's genuinely one of my top artists? his song bokura mada underground is my number one of all time on spotify i think, i absolutely adore his work and he has a ton of it that's all over the place vibe-wise

anyways lol ill get off my little soap box here, ty for the thoughts and im happy you enjoyed the songs :D
