#i think this is what makes pink floyd memes good

I like pink floyd lore because its like a reverse iceberg where all of the metaphorical scary deep sea creatures are at the top and the lower you get the more silly and unserious it all becomes

Hi hi friend,

If it is not too much trouble I would like to make a request for your event? I think I would like Floyd with prompt 14- “I'd rather have the thorniest, pesticide ridden roses grow in my mouth before I'd ever admit having any sort of affection for them!”

They/them for Yuu is fine with me, I was thinking romantic? Where maybe it's obvious to everyone but Yuu how requited their feelings are.

I've really liked reading your writing and hope you continue to have fun doing it (♡°▽°♡)

floyd leech x gn!reader [tags] – fluff, mutual pining [wc} – 3,659 prompt 14: “I'd rather have the thorniest, pesticide ridden roses grow in my mouth before I'd ever admit having any sort of affection for them!” note - hahahahahhahahahahaha i did not mean to write so much but i went a little buckwild and i think floyd deserves to be allowed to be soft sometimes a floral inconvenience

Lavender roses - Introduced in 1900, lavender roses represent love at first sight. They’re often given to someone to convey that the giver was immediately smitten and fell in love. 

You’d decided to attend a karaoke event the Mostro Lounge was hosting to introduce the new spring menu. It was meant to be a nice, relaxing hangout with your friends from Heartslaybul as you listened to your friends attempt to show off their mediocre singing skills. 

Ace was in an especially good mood, happy to tease you as you waved happily at Floyd, who’d returned your affections. 

“Oi, oi, oiiiiiii, Prefect? When you gonna say something? Kinda tired of dealing with you puking petals every—OW!”

You snorted as Deuce smacked Ace upside the head, muttering about him being an asshole. 

“Leave them alone Ace, unless you want to be collared for harassing a member of the student body?” Riddle reprimanded, giving Ace a harsh glare as he turned to you instead. 

“You can ignore him, Prefect, you don’t have to say anything to that good-for-nothing merman! I’m sure you could do much better anyways.”

You chuckled, enjoying the soft banter between the group. It was particularly nice seeing Riddle interact more casually with his peers, even if you weren’t able to convince him to sing with you. 

“Are you sure you do want to go up with me?” You pouted leaning in close to the red-headed housewarden. “I’ll even let you pick the song—”

“Out of the question.”

You sighed, resting against the plush cushions of the booth while Ace and Deuce bicker about which song would be better for a duet. This was nice. 

It was nice, up until Floyd decided to take part in the festivities. Somehow he’d snuck behind you and Riddle, snatching up your friend with a gleeful cackle as he screeched. 

“FLOYD! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT—”

“Nah, it’s fine Goldfishie, I need ya for just a sec!”

Floyd placed Riddle in a seat, front and center at the stage, as he climbed up. The cool blue spotlight suited Floyd’s features as he grinned. 

Picking up the mic from its stand, Floyd announced, “Alright! This song is for my favorite little fishie in the whole entire school, so you all better enjoy it!”

You expected him to start singing a silly pop song, one with high energy and beats. Or one that became a meme on Magicam last week, something about flamingos and turning pink. 

Instead, the upbeat, suave tunes of a familiar song started playing. A familiar love song. 

“Is…is this ABBA?”

“Who?” Cater asked, recording the scene with a stifling giggle as Riddle turned redder and redder in embarrassment (and most likely rage) as Floyd continued to serenade him. 

“This is ‘Lay Your Love’ by BABA, a classic from the 80s—”

“No it’s called ABBA back home—wait, WHY IS FLOYD SINGING A LOVE SONG TO RIDDLE!?”

Your screech startled the surrounding tables, drawing attention that you were too jealous to focus on. Floyd made eye contact with you, hearing your yelling. Continuing to sing—quite nicely you’d hate to admit—the eel mer winked and smirked, drawing an ire that you didn’t know you had. 

“What the hell? Floyd!” With the vindication of a scorned lover, you stomped to the stage and swiped the microphone from Floyd’s hands. 

“Floyd, what are you doing?” you spoke into the mic, glaring daggers at the tall beanpole of an eel turned man, who looked unbothered at your angry presence.

Floyd took the mic back and answered, “I’m trying to win my mate back—DON’T GO WASTING—”

“What mate?” You yanked the mic back while Floyd followed suit, though this time you kept both hands on. It became a tugging match as you both tried speaking into the mic before the other took it back. 

“Goldfishie.” You could hear Riddle scream at that. 

“Riddle’s not your mate! I’m your mate—” You snapped your mouth shut, the mic feedback and your last words echoing through the lounge, mocking you. 

Floyd had a large, smug grin on his face, his sharp teeth gleaming under the bright lights of the stage. You were now very aware of the packed lounge, and of the students spectating. 

The mic was slowly pulled back to Floyd, who gleefully asked “Oh~ Say that again?”

“Nuh-uh.” 

You shook your head furiously, trying to pull back in order to run off and curl into a hole from embarrassment. Floyd’s grip on the mic and your hands tightened, preventing your escape. 

“That’s fiiine,” Floyd pulled out a small device from his pocket, lightly tapping it on the mic. “I have it riiiight ‘ere.” 

Suddenly, a recording of your voice looped into the mic: 

“I’m your mate—I’m your mate—I’m your mate—”

He recorded it. 

“Oh my god…” You looked at Floyd in horror, who was still grinning ear to ear, like a cat that got the mouse. 

“HehehehehehahahAHAHA!” Floyd’s giggle turned into a cackle as he launched at you, mic and recorder abandoned on the floor. Between the ear-splitting squeal of the mic hitting the ground and a 6’2” man tackling you, there was little time for you to defend yourself as your lips clashed, teeth clattering against one another from the brute force.

His long arms wrapped themselves tightly around your waist, dipping you down dramatically as he broke your kiss to instead leave wet kisses on your cheeks, nose, forehead, and every other piece of skin not covered by clothes. 

Ace and Cater’s cackles could be heard amongst the now growing laughter, whistles, and jeers of the crowd. You think you could even make out someone yelling at your two to get a room. 

“—off the stage! Get off the stage, both of you!” 

Ah, it was Azul. Who was stomping over the shoo you both off the stage, giving Floyd a particularly harsh whack on the head with his staff. 

“Ow, fuck that hurt!” Floyd whined, scooping you up with his left hand and cradling you to his chest. “Cool it Azul, don’t harsh my vibe—”

“I don’t care! Go make out in your room! This is a lounge not a brothel!”

“Fiiiiiine,” Floyd adjusted his grip to instead throw you over his shoulder, amused by how limp you’d gone in his grasp. “Come on Shrimpy! I got something fun in mind~”

His sentence and teasing tone made you flush, images of you and him in bed flashing through your mind. 

“W-wait, Floyd, what are we gonna do?”

“You’ll see, ahahahehe!” Floyd’s giggled echoed through the hallway as he quickened his pace. It was only a few minutes before you realized that you two had made it to the dormitory halls. 

Floyd kicked open his door, the hinges squeaking from the force. He marched over to his bed, grabbing at your waist to no doubt throw you on it before pausing. 

“Oh yeah.” Like a sudden realization hitting him, Floyd grabbed the corner of his bedsheets and shook them, clothing, books, and crumbs no doubtedly flying off. 

Once satisfied, Floyd hummed and once again grabbed your waist, this time committing to throwing you on the bed, which bounced under you. 

“AaaAaaAAAah—FLOYD!” You yelped, face turning redder as Floyd caged you to the bed. He looked at you with a hungry expression, licking his lips at the sight of you. 

“Wait-wait Floyd, gimme a sec—” you stammered, crawling backwards until your back hit the headboard. “—this is all very very sudden, I—wait!”

Floyd crawled after you, trapping you with his long arms, leaning down until his lips were lingering over yours. You shut your eyes in anticipation, waiting for his hands to grab at your clothes and tear them off. 

A soft, tender meeting of the lips. Floyd pressed his mouth against yours, swiping his tongue into your mouth, to which you returned with flustered confusion. The kiss was with such gentleness that you had to open your eyes to confirm that it was indeed Floyd kissing you. 

Olive and yellow eyes were closed, a blissful smile on his lips as he broke your kiss, instead pressing almost chaste pecks to your cheeks, down, your neck, and over your shirt where your heart was beating away. 

Floyd pressed his right ear to your chest, listening to the increasingly rapid pounding against your rib cage. His arms moved from trapping you against the bed to trapping you against his body, wrapping around your back and tightening while his lanky legs tangled between yours. 

You weren’t sure what to do with your own hands, once he had settled laying on you. Hesitantly, you reached to lace them through his hair, pushing the strands back to get a better view of his peaceful face. Admittedly, seeing Floyd in such a state, blissful and sweet, was beautiful. 

His smile grew slightly as you combed through his hair, nuzzling his nose into your chest. Into your heart really. 

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Floyd opened his yellow eye, gleaming at you in amusement. “I just wanted to cuddle, did ya have somethin’ else in mind? Haha!”

He moved to prop up his chin, smirking at you as he teased, “Didn’t think ya had sucha dirty mind, if you wanna ‘do it’, all you had to do was ask—”

You shoved his face back into your chest looking away in embarrassment, feeling his giggles vibrate through you. 

“Shut up, ugh!” You pouted, grumbling, “You set me up! Ugh! How’d you even know that would work?”

“I heard you.”

“Huh?”

“Talkin’ to Lil Goldfishie,” Floyd moved so that instead of laying on top of you, he was curled into your side with his head nestled at the crook of your neck. “When you got the flower sickness.” 

You looked at him with shock. That conversation with Riddle happened nearly three months ago in between classes. 

Specifically, it happened a few weeks after winter break, when you were catching up Riddle to your “adventure” in Scarabia, after which small lavender roses started blooming along your freckles, their thorns scratching your skin.

“And then, he launched us waaaaaay into the desert!” You animatedly waved your arms around as you recounted your fiasco over winter break. “We were trapped, but then Kalim used his unique magic to fill a dry riverbed with water and then!”

Riddle raised a brow at you as you began gigging with a soft blush. “Jade and Floyd had to turn into their merforms, so me and Kalim had to hold on to his back, but when I wrapped my arms around his chest, and he held my hand to steady me! ”

Your friend rolled his eyes as you started to silently squealed in your seat, sighing.

“Are you going to finish? I have better things to do than listen to you babble about Floyd of all people. Honestly,” Riddle huffed, “I don’t understand what you see in that riffraff!”

“He’s not a riffraff!” You quipped, frowning as you crossed your arms. “He’s actually really sweet if you give him the time of day, Floyd just likes being able to have fun with others you know!”

“Even then, his mood swings don’t terrify you? He gets rather violent sometimes.” Riddle took a sip of his tea as you shook your head. 

“No, I mean if you just go with the flow it’s fine, plus that just makes him more exciting to be around! Plus we’ve been getting closer ever since Azul’s overblot…”

You smiled softly as you looked down at your lap, fondness growing in your heart like blooms on a warm spring day. 

“He can actually be quite sweet, once you get to know him…you just have to give him a chance.”

The two of you remained quiet, the only coming from the distant chatter of other students in the more populated areas of the guest lounge.

“I’m safe to assume then that he is the reason you’ve started sprouting the roses?”

Your soft pink blush deepened as you nodded, picking at the small flower that began blooming on your cheek. 

“Yeah…”

“When will you confess, then?” You looked at Riddle in shock, who seemed confused at your distress. “What? It’s obvious that you have strong feelings for him, and even I notice how especially clingy he is around you.”

You shook your head, stuttering, “Well, yeah but that’s—”

“I’ve even heard him refer to you by name, he only does that with Jade and Azul you know?”

“You don’t understand Riddle.” You tried to interject, growing more flustered by the second. “I don’t think I could—”

Riddle continued, “As much as I disapprove, it does seem that you two genuinely bring out the best in each other, he does seem softer when you’re around—”

“Oh my—Riddle, stop—”

“—And you’ve gotten more outspoken, I remember how shy you were—”

“I’m begging you—”

“—Besides, according to the Queen of Heart’s rule number 478, any romantic feelings must be confessed approximately 12 days upon their discovery or the individual in question obligated to deny—”

“I said stop, Riddle!” You yelled at the top of your lungs before choking on rather large bouquet of lavender roses. Leaves and petals fluttered all around you as you continued to let out rough coughs, phlegm and saliva making a mess. 

Your yell startled the red-head so much that he simply started at you with a red face and thinned lips, too shocked to properly yell back at you for raising your voice indoors. 

Instead, he carefully placed his tea cup on the table between you two, folded his hands in his lap, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. You on the other hand, peaked around the dividers separating your nook from the rest of the lounge. 

Ace and Deuce looked over in concern as you continued to cough out more roses, walking over before you shook your head and gave them a thumbs up before shooing them away and turning back to Riddle. 

“...sorry Riddle.” You whispered, looking at him nervously. “I didn’t mean to yell, don’t be mad?”

“It’s…fine.” He replied with a strained voice, taking a final inhale before opening his eyes again and making eye contact. “You shouldn’t have yelled, and I shouldn’t have pushed.”

Riddle sighed, relaxing into the soft lounge chair. Though he would deny when asked, the chair that he helped you pick for the guest room was is favorite spot to sit in, as it surprising comfortable. 

“May I ask why you refused? It’s quite obvious to anyone that you care for him immensely, for some forsaken reason, and I would even say it’s quite mutual.”

You avoided eye contact as he resumes sipping from his tea, a lemon tea with 2 sugar cubes for his post meal tea. 

“Yeah…that’s what the other first-years say too. Even Jade’s been dropping hints on mer courtship gifts.”

“Then? What’s stopping you? 

A pregnant pause was in the air as you open and closed your mouth, attempting to figure out what it was that scared you. 

“What if…he gets bored?” 

Riddle furrowed his eyebrows as he leaned in, barely able to hear you. 

“What if he what?” He sighed, a bit irritated. “Speak up Prefect, I know you can, you just did earlier.”

You groaned out, “What if he gets bored with me? I’m fun and interesting now, yeah!”

Your friend watched, and you began pacing around the room, holding his head in his hand as he watched and listened to you vent. 

“I’m just a silly little magicless human that got transported from another world! Big whoop! What happens when that novelty wears off? You've heard him, he only likes to do things that are fun and interesting to him, but I won’t always be fun and interesting, eventually he’ll get used to me and get bored.”

You turned to look at Riddle with a teary-eyed, but firm look. “He’s get bored and leave me. I can’t handle that! So I just won’t be with him. In fact, I'd rather have the thorniest, pesticide ridden roses grow in my mouth before I'd ever admit having any sort of affection for him!”

Your voice began to crack as you stated your final sentence, snapping your mouth shut before you got begun crying. Riddle stood up and walked over to grasp your shoulders, looking at you with an understanding smile. 

“The sort of person that would abandon a lover simply because they’re bored never deserved one in the first place.” 

Riddle hummed in agreement as you sqeaked out a ‘really?’, giving you a soft pat on your shoulder. 

“Of course, I can’t say I don’t understand your hesitance, Floyd is…Floyd, after all. However, he is not my friend, you are. If you choose to forfeit your right to confess, then so be it.”

You smiled as he dragged you back to your seats, giggling as he continued, “I personally would say it’s no lost on your part, he’s not exactly the most prime candidate for your life partner should you be stuck here in Twisted Wonderland, may I suggest one of the many more suitable providers?”

“Pfft-like who? You?” you cackled as Riddle looked at you in mild horror. 

“Oh dear, of course not! I admire you as a friend, but I have much stricter standards for a partner.” He snapped his fingers in revelation. “Perhaps Ace or Deuce, you are rather close to them—”

“Ewwwww, pass. They’re like annoying brothers!” 

Riddle snorted before covering it up with a cough. “True. Trey?”

“If you’re just going to suggest your dorm members, maybe we should switch the conversation to something else.”

“Well I think my dorm produces only the best and most gentlemanly mages of all of NRC, so excuse me if I’m simply trying to give you the best options!” 

You and Riddle shared some laughter, a flash of teal catching the corner of your eye. But you saw nothing, so instead you focused back on Riddle as he began recounting his own winter break activities.

You remained quiet as you processed your thoughts, finding the lilac ceiling to be particularly interesting. 

Floyd also stayed quiet, still curled into your side as he breathed in your scent. You’re sure that with all of the flowers you’d started coughing up in the last few minutes, you smelled strongly of the lavender roses. 

“You know…I was gettin’ real mad when you wouldn’t confess to me.” Floyd whined, propping his head up with his hand to look at you and your pink face. 

“I thought it would be nice to get a cute confession out of my little shrimp,” He pinched your nose and forced you to look at him. “It be real fun! Like those cringy romcoms landfolk like so much!”

You replied, nasally due to your pinched nose, “Wait, is that why Jade was telling me about mer courting methods?”

“Haha! Yeah, I was hopin’ that you’d bring me a pretty seashell or somethin’ cute so Icould make fun of ya for later.”

You let out an indigent huff, smacking Floyd’s hand away as he laughed. 

“Really? So what made you change your mind?”

“Hearing ya talk to Goldfishie. It pissed me off that you’d think I’d toss you out like humans at sea with their trash.”

Floyd’s tone changed, looking  visibly annoyed as he continued. 

“Mers mate for life, and I wouldn’t choose someone I’d get bored with.” He sat up as his mood continued to sour. “It pissed me off, and it hurt, that my Little Shrimpy would think about me like that.”

“Oh, Floyd,” you sat up with him, guilt seeping in your bones as you looked at his angry face. Though, with the small tears forming in his eyes, Floyd looked more frustrated than anything. 

“I’m sorry, I-I didn’t think—it didn’t occur to me that you felt the same—”

“Well I do, and it’s not fair to me that you wouldn’t even give me a chance.” The way Floyd said that so matter of factly made you snap your mouth shut again, looking down at your lap instead. 

“I’m…sorry, Floyd. I wish I could make it up to you—”

Floyd interrupted, moody demeanor brightening suddenly. “No worries, I got just the solution!”

Crawling over back to you so that your back met the headboard again, Floyd grinned maliciously at your curled form. 

“Say it.”

“Huh?”

“Say it. Those three little words.” Floyd held up three fingers to emphasize his point. “The ones that will make all those little flower go right away, the ones you need to say to me.”

You stiffened, leaning away from Floyd as he leaned in. “I don’t know if I can—”

“Say it, Y/N.” The use of your name startled your attention back to his face. He looked unusually serious, peering his heterochromic eyes into your own. If you didn’t know any better, you could’ve mistaken him for his twin. 

You whispered, prolonging the inevitable, “What happened to Shrimpy?”

“Shrimpy was Shrimpy, but now your Y/N. And Y/N is Y/N…”

The two of you shared a smile as the distance between you two continued to close. You couldn’t remember what was so pressing earlier, why you were so anxious when the yellow eye of the man in front of you produced nothing but adoration from your heart. 

“Please…” From the uncharacteristic soft murmur to the eyes darting down to your lips and back to your eyes, Floyd drew you back in with a hypnotic ease that only the most alluring of mythical creatures could even hope to imitate. 

The two of you leaned in as you placed a hand on his chest, his own left hand coming to cradle your own. 

You craned your head back to hover your lips under his, uttering the words you swore to never let leave your mouth. 

“I-I…love you, Floyd Leech.”

A single lavender rose grew between your palms, as two longing hearts met as one.

Top 10 Worst Album Covers of 2023 - Part 1/2

Happy New Years! It's time again, the time were I judge books, or in this case albums, by their covers. Okay, that is a bit harsh, but the album cover is an important part of the music listening experience, I mean so much about Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and it's symbolism would be lost if not for the incredible art hidden beneath the fold of the brick wall album cover, Tuomas Holopainen's Scrooge McDuck album would not feel as complete if it did not have a beautiful Don Rosa piece as it's cover, Charli XCX's "how i'm feeling now" was such a perfect capture of the mood of 2020.

I love looking at album covers, and I love talking about them, especially the bad ones, because I love learning from bad art. This is all this list really is, looking at some bad art and learning from it, so without further ado, here is the top 10 worst album covers of 2023.

#10. Miss Grit - Follow the Cyborg

In 2021 I put the cover for "The Art of Losing" by The Achoress at number 8 on the worst list. It was a probably unintentionally phalic piece of art that, quite frankly made me chuckle. I mention it because, again I'm fairly certain any phallic imagery was not intended in that piece, though I am not one-hundred percent certain. This cover on the other hand… I mean…

I guess the idea is that there is a recharge port in the mouth, but um… I can't help but look at this and think, "Yeah, they knew exactly what they were doing", it's not even that's it too much or distasteful really, it's just… I mean I'm fairly certain most sites would have this flagged as inappropriate content.

#9. Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman...

A good part of this entry is simply due to the fact that I just can't fricking see anything, I can vaguely make out a figure, but for the most part it may as well just look like Metallica's Black Album. The other part of this is that, when I can see what's on the cover, I still can't really make out what it is, it's like a biker with a wolf coming out of his head, and three hands caressing him… this is reminding me a little bit of that Offspring album from 2021.

#8. Fall Out Boy - So Much (for) Stardust

Oh, I'm probably not gonna make a lot of fans for this pick, but I gotta be honest, this album cover is bad. You remember when 30 Seconds to Mars released America, and they let you make your own version of that album's cover? Then people immediately began making it a massive joke? Well, Fall Out Boy did the same thing letting you put your own image on the cover. It really does feel like they just did this so they could make a meme. The image itself isn't even that good, it's a dog and some bubbles… that's it. Thankfully, it isn't the worst offender for a band who should know better.

#7. Foo Fighters - But Here We Are

That honour goes to the Foo Fighters, who last year, released an awful, just plain awful horror movie, and this year gave us an album that has quite literally, next to nothing on the cover. You know, when The Beatles did their album cover with nothing, they had an idea behind it, but this isn't even nothing, there is vaguely something in the distance, but it's so faded that it may as well be nothing. Honestly, what has it been with the Foo Fighters and their album covers as of late? Oh well, I guess I'll see them next time.

#6. Swiss Army Wife - Medium Gnarly & Anti-Flag - Lies They Tell Our Children

And here is our yearly tie and yearly entry for "Too much crap on the canvas" bad album cover. I think if I had to pick a "Worse" one I'd have to pick "Lies They Tell Our Children", it's just incohesive and full of random crap, I can at least make out some things on the Medium Gnarly cover, I mean it's still a jumbled mess but I can make out some things. I really do hate this kind of "collage with no rhyme nor reason" aesthetics, they just, are not fun to look at. If I wanted to stare at an absolute mess, I'd take a look at my city's downtown area.

Part 2!

[junecast-moonfast]

hello hello!!! sorry i had a busy monday ahah

i'm very happy you liked count basie's album :^) i hope you liked mel tormé too! i'm sorry i couldn't listen to the artists you recommended yet, i'm very busy and tired when i get home :^(

ahah very interesting, i didnt know about roxy lalonde and homestuck, it seems cute! i've never listened to roxy music either though i know a bit brian eno (he made the soundtrack for a video game i used to play when i was younger: spore)

i got into classic rock thanks to my brother. my parents used to listen to older music but it was mainly french songs (i'm french!) ; so my brother had an ipod with music like blue suede shoes by elvis, imagine by john lennon and famous songs like these and i liked them a lot :^) what made me really into the beatles at first (and then other bands) was because i looked into my mother's records and there was a 7-inch with yellow submarine and i was like: that sounds so fun and cool!!! and that was it, i went on youtube and listened to whatever beatles' song i could find. i also made friend with other beatlemaniacs my age on the internet. i sometimes miss that time, it was pure and cute :^)

i think my fav albums by pink floyd and the beatles are maybe atom heart mother and abbey road!

have you seen one of your fav musician live? have you been to concerts?

see you later, it's always a pleasure to talk with you :^)

Don’t worry about it! Yesterday was busy for me so I couldn’t get around to answering, so I understand :D Also don’t worry if you can’t get around to my recommendations, this is a very busy time of year so I totally get it!

I checked out Lady Be Good by Mel Torme and I really liked it! The only other musician I listen to who uses scat singing is Christian Vander of Magma, so it was really fun to hear a different take on the technique!

Spore was where I first heard Brian Eno’s work too! (Or maybe it was the Windows 95 startup sound? Maybe not since I grew up with Vista). It’s funny because when I first got into his music I didn’t realize he made the soundtrack for Spore, so when I did find out I was shocked haha! I always love it when I get into a musician, only to find out that I’ve heard their music before. It sorta feels like it was fate that I’d find them again :]

I can definitely relate to yearning for early bandom days. I wish I could go back to a time where my biggest worry was getting home from school so I could make memes about The Beatles haha

Also I love Atom Heart Mother and Abbey Road as well, those are some solid choices!

I’ve only been to two concerts. One of those was for a musician I didn’t really know, but my friends liked so I went with them. Yungblood I think it was? I honestly don’t remember much about him lol. The other concert was Muse, which is a band I do know and enjoy! I’m not too involved in the Muse fandom, but I do really like their music, especially their earlier albums. The concert was amazing too! The band members have a really great stage presence :] How about you? Have you been to any concerts? :D

It’s always great to talk with you! I hope you have a great day/night :]

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

70s songs they could totally use in Sonic 3

For Shadow boss fights:

“Bad to the Bone” - George Thorogood & The Destroyers

I WANT A FIGHT SCENE SET TO AN AMPED-UP VERSION OF “GREASED LIGHTNING” SO BAD

“Heroes” - David Bowie

i mean. “Highway to Hell” - AC/DC has been used in a lot of things bUT

“Immigrant Song” - Led Zeppelin

“I Will Survive” - Gloria Gaynor

“Paint It Black” - The Rolling Stones

“Runnin’ With the Devil” - Van Halen

“We Will Rock You” - Queen

ok listen you KNOW a fight scene set to “Dancing Queen” - ABBA would slap you know it would you know it w

For Shadow Moping. or more boss fights idk:

“Bohemian Rhapsody” - Queen

“The Chain” - Fleetwood Mac

“Comfortably Numb” - Pink Floyd

“Eclipse” - Pink Floyd

can you FUCKING imagine if they used “Maria (You Were the Only One)” - Michael Jackson like

“September” - Earth, Wind & Fire

it’s a meme now but “The Sound of Silence” - Simon & Garfunkel would slap

“Under Pressure” - Queen

“Welcome to the Machine” - Pink Floyd

For Maria lullaby and/or to make me cry, there’s a lot here cause i’m an emotional bitch who loves Maria:

“Being Alive” - Company

“Blackbird” - The Beatles

“Bridge Over Troubled Water” - Simon & Garfunkel

can you fucking iMAGINE if they used “Cheer Up Charlie” from the good Willy Wonka movie I would die

“Corner of the Sky” - Pippin

“Don’t Stop” - Fleetwood Mac

“Dreams” - Fleetwood Mac

“I DON’T NEED ANYTHING BUT YOU” FROM ANNIE OMG

“JUST ONE PERSON” - SNOOPY

“Landslide” - i know i’m putting a lot of Fleetwood Mac but this one is the best i would literally explode

OH MY GOD NO IF THEY USED “LET IT BE” - THE BEATLES I THINK WE’D ALL DIE

“The Morning After” - Maureen McGovern

I JUST REALIZED THEY COULD TOTALLY USE “THE RAINBOW  CONNECTION” THAT WAS ‘79 OH MY GOD

the lyrics don’t work a lot for this but like. imagine if Maria and Shadow danced to “Shadow Dancing” because “look Shadow that’s your name!!” i

“Spread Your Wings” - Queen

IF THEY USED “TOMORROW” FROM ANNIE--

“WHAT I DID FOR LOVE” - A CHORUS LINE I DID NOT REALIZE THIS LIST WAS GOING TO SLAY ME

“Wish You Were Here” - Pink Floyd

i feel like it would probably be appropriative if they used The Wiz and neither Maria nor Shadow were played by a black actor but. if they had a black!Maria. hhh so many songs would make me feral

Most Importantly:

“STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN” - LED ZEPPELIN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

also they could probably use “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” for any of these altogether that’s like a 30 minute song they could score half the movie with that

or maybe they could be really into rocky horror picture show idk

Yuuji Terushima Hcs!

If I’m being honest, Yuuji is one of my favorite haikyuu!! characters. I think he’s neat and deserved more screentime (all of johzenji really, they’re an interesting team).

Would wear thrasher t-shirts unironically bc he thinks they make him look cool

He knows exactly what toner is, he just refuses to use it

A band kid, plays trumpet or euphonium

Really isn’t interested in doing the do, he just has a reputation to uphold

Got his tounge piercing because he thought it looked cool and underestimated how much it would hurt

Has a Winnie The Pooh quote tattooed on the side of his ribs

Favorite Disney character has been Tigger for the longest time

Has a list of tattoos and piercings he wants to get

Would definitely get a tattoo of a heart with his s/os name on it if he felt like they were going to be together forever

Honestly is a little skeptical about marriage

Favorite subject is math; he’s oddly good at calculus

Has a fascination with older cars, really likes 40s-50s Chevy models

Likes the look of Lapel pins; has a jacket full of themed but he never wears it out

Makes Facebook memes for Instagram

Probably enjoys Pink Floyd and Metallica

Does the crossword puzzles in the newspaper

Hagar, Sammy: I’m still trying to figure out where he lived to take 16 hours to get to LA driving 55 and how fucking fast was he driving beforehand?

Harrison, George: He went from religious to rock, and if he had continued rocking, he would have gotten too cool

[icemankazansky86]

David obviously for the character meme! 🦇

Why I like them: He’s charismatic and cunning. David is obviously an intelligent person as well, even if the fact isn’t centre-stage. He also (in my opinion) seems to genuinely care about the boys.

Why I don’t: He’s a sarcastic little fucker, isn’t he? Just kidding— I still like that about him.

Favourite scene: His introduction, and the cave scene with the Chinese food where he tricks Michael, because let’s face it, he simply wouldn’t be David if he wasn’t being somewhat of an asshole, would he?

Favourite line: “Now you know what we are, now you know what you are. You'll never grow old, Michael, and you'll never die. But you must feed!”

Favourite outfit: This one’s easy; he only has one outfit! So, the one he’s always wearing, I guess... Though, I’d like to imagine him in a slightly less ‘grim reaper’ outfit. Like black Levi’s, a tradition motorcycle jacket (the ones with the attached waist-belt) and a white button-up shirt or tee and combat boots or Chuck Taylors. Can someone say, Greaser David?

OTP: David x Michael. The tension is thereee, it’s so obvious.

Headcanon: David loves singing and he’s good at it, but he’s insecure about his voice. He’ll often wait until he’s alone to actually give-in to singing along to one of his favourite tunes. He’s an avid fan of David Bowie and Pink Floyd in particular. And he’s starting to get into Metallica (but listening to them is usually reserved to when he’s sad/angry) because somehow it makes him feel better.

Unpopular opinion: I think David was genuinely trying to/wanted to be Michael’s friend; I think that was his goal in the long run (Max’s plan be damned), even though he went about it the wrong way. There’s an obvious connection between the two of them, c’monnn... *cough, cough* Looove.

5 words to best describe them: Intelligent, cunning, charismatic, motivated, sarcastic

My nickname for them: Davey, ‘White Wedding’ (because Billy Idol- it’s the hair, people, it’s the hair...)

[paradise-creator]

OwO when u have time,, can I have a haven box for BNHA?? But just when you’re free and not working on prior works!! >:( I’m watching u bish

You can use my name in the result if you want to lol I already know it anyway!!

She/her, Taurus, INTJ, slytherin (pretty freakin’ queer but I usually lean towards boys/enbies more)

Personality: the first thing people notice about me is that I am less of a feeler and more of a thinker. I do have an IQ of 125, but my emotional intelligence is quite low, so I have trouble sympathizing with others. But I learned through experience, so I don’t SEEM emotionless. I can (and will) help my friends through tough times if they need me. I’m pragmatic, so I always go for the facts instead of the feelings during decision making or tough situations. I hold a lot of perfectionist traits that make it really hard for me to be satisfied with my results if they aren’t higher than the norm. I also have a slight issue with saying no, so sometimes I’ll offer my help or enrol myself in long-term projects while knowing I legit do not have time for more stuff on my schedule. Being a bit smarter than average, I sometimes feel like I’m obligated to help others so that they can do good too (however, I do like helping people with their hw to a certain extent). I’m working on those issues though!! I’m also an introvert, and I can get rlly tired if I have to be interacting for more than four hours straight with people, especially if their persona isn’t rlly compatible with mine.

However, when I’m surrounded by friends (or generally people who aren’t my superiors), I’m very energetic, loud, silly and I have a sharp tongue. I’m also insanely competitive, like someone please stop me?? My sense of humour goes from absolute nonsense to almost mean spirited sarcasm, but it all depends on who I’m talking to. I’m a MAJOR memer, I have a bunch of files filled with them, and I couldn’t bear be with people who didn’t understand my meme references. When I start liking something, I can get easily obsessed. I’m stubborn, therefore very passionate about the things I care about. I also have a slight case of the Endorphin Junkie, meaning that I really, really like the high you get after sports so I do crossfit training like five to six times a week. I’m unapologetically myself, and I will not ever change who I am to fit within the norm. I’m sometimes told that (that I’m odd, I mean), but I usually thank the people who tell me. I have a really, really big love for music and I have a tendency to break into song sometimes when people say a line from a song I know. I also cry sometimes when music gets really good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whoops

Appearance: I’m around 5’6”, with hazel eyes and brown hair that goes around to my shoulders. It gets curly out of nowhere. I can either wake up with straight hair or wake up with a freakin perm, it’s funny. My body isn’t exactly the lean type, I’m somewhere around the buff area of the scale instead, but as long as I seem visibly strong, I’m satisfied. When I’m not going anywhere significant, I usually just wear sport shirts and sweats, but I have a penchant for Dark Academia so I like /looking/ like I’m smart sometimes. And I have glasses bc apparently my eyes are assholes and they work too hard and it hurts my brain all the time

Likes: music (DavidBowieDavidBowieDavidBow-); I have a really wide range of music that goes from early 2000’s pop to 1700’s requiems(my faves are Bowie, Queen and Pink Floyd). I enjoy studying theoretical fields, reading, and I like talking about Absurd Theories About Reality That Make Little To No Sense. I like sports, and I love joking around with friends in the most exaggerated ways. I also love the colour green and I’m more of a cat person

Dislikes: dogs (they’re cute but keep them away pls), ignorant people, irresponsible people, spiders, things I’m not good at from the beginning, having to deal with strangers being upset, crying (me. I don’t like crying; I mean me, I’m fine if my friends cry)

Other fun facts!!

- my goals for the future are all over the place; I want to work for Disney, I want to get a musical composition degree, I want a biomedical engineering bachelors degree, I want an astrophysics doctorate, I want to study languages, I want to be a foreign English teacher... I can’t ever decide.

- I have a long history with getting crushes on guys who turned out to be gay. It happens so often and I HATE IT, it makes me feel terrible.

- I!!love!!70’s!!music!!so!!much!! I was raised on that stuff, my dad wouldn’t let us listen to anything else

- Lol my favourite playlist name is Drugs Playlist But I Don’t Even Do Drugs it’s just a bunch of Pink Floyd and David Bowie songs

- My favourite movies are 80’s or 90’s comedy classics!! Like Wayne’s World, or Airplane!, or Night at the Roxbury. I keep quoting Wayne’s World and no one understands :(

- His EQ can help you grow as a person as well

- You have the IQ he has the EQ, BALANCE!

- You two would often have laughing sessions at class

- No cap tho, you two would be the most interesting couple

- You guys would have a matching necklace or a Keychain (IDK why but I feel like it-)

- You get along well with Denki, (IT TOOK A LONG TIME)

- But you would rather hang out with Bakugou (He tolerates you more than the others).

- BRO, please give him love. He craves your attention

Truth or dare gone wrong

The class 1-A were all gathered in their common room, even Bakugou was present. The class was having a truth or dare session, it seemed interesting. “Sero, my man! Truth or dare?” Denki asked as he looked at Sero. “Truth! I choose truth,” Sero said. “Who have you been talking on the phone to this past weeks? The one I keep hearing is my pumpkin?” Denki asked. Sero’s face then turned a light shade of pink. “O-Oh- ummm,” He started as he looked away. “Does our Cellophane have a girlfriend?” Mina teased as she poked Sero. “Y-Yeah,” He stuttered. “OI THAT’S NOT FAIR?!? WHY CAN YOU HAVE A GIRL BUT I CAN’T,” Denki sulked as he placed his head on the table. “If you weren’t such a perv then maybe you can get one!” Hakagure responded.

“Don’t be shy. Tell us more,” Mina said. Sero’s blush darkened and he looked away. “We are playing truth or dare! It’s my turn to ask,” Sero then said. “Actually, I am quite curious as well. We can always continue later,” Momo said as she smiled. Everyone agreed and they then looked at the nervous male. “C’mon now guys, this is unfair,” Sero said as he looked at everyone. “But you have a girl and we want tea,” Mina then said as she sat in front of him. “I- um, you guys really want to know about her, huh?” Sero said as he chuckled. Everyone nodded and stared at Sero intently. “Just tell us already, Soy sauce,” Bakugou growled as he glared at Sero. “Don’t listen to him, bro. He is just jealous,” Kirishima said. “WHAT-“ Bakugou was about to counter but was silenced. “Fine! Fine! You got me in a corner,” Sero then said as he chuckled. “She should be coming here,” He added as he looked at the door. “Three, two, one,” He then said as he pointed to the door.

“Hello, is Sero Hanta here?”A feminine voice said. “ARE YOU A PSYCHIC?” Denki said as he looked surprised. “I’m right here pumpkin!” Sero then said as he smirked. His nervousness melted away as he saw the 5’6ft girl. It was his girlfriend, Eve, and he was overjoyed. “Hey there babe!” She then said as she smiled. “DANG YOU GOT A FINE LADY!” Denki then yelled as he checked her out. “Keep your eyes above for I’ll gorge them out,” Eve then said as she glared at Denki. Soon enough, Mineta tried to touch her as well but his efforts were at vain. Sero used his tape as to stop Mineta from getting closer. And Eve kicked him away, far away from her. “Get your filthy hands away from her,” Sero said as he stood up. He then wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “Woah, that was so manly!” Kirishima said as he smiled.

“GIRLS! GET HER-“ Mina said as she tackled the girl. They didn’t fall down but Mina was laughing and hugging her. “Girl! How long have you been together?” Mina asked as she pulled away. Eve was a bit uncomfortable but she merely had a stoic face. “A few weeks,” She responded bluntly. And soon enough, the truth or dare session was forgotten. It was replace with the class 1-A trying to pry out the tea from the couple. Did they succeed? No, not really. Though the class seemed to love Eve and her antics. The class even tried to make them forget about the date they have planned. But either way, Sero and Eve got manage to get away to have their small movie date at his room.

2,32 and 36 for anyone?

hell yeah, i get to answer questions now! this is peter btw! >:)

2. What is your love language? What is your s/os?

i like spending time with them. a lot. if i don't get to spend at least a single second with them, i think i'm gonna devastated for my whole life. well maybe i'm just exaggerating it, but i need to know that they're ok no matter what the circumstance is. yeah, i'd visit their house at 3am if i could. so it's quality time, babey.

ohh, and i give them a lot of gifts. most of them are stolen tho. xelle doesn't like it. they always ask if i have the receipt and will scold me if i don't have it. :l but i know they appreciate the gesture. 8)

as for xelle, they really know how to cheer me up whenever i'm feeling shitty about myself again. i mean, at first, you'd think they're a hard headed and stoic person, but in reality, they're extremely soft. they know something's up if i don't make lame jokes or cheesy pick up lines. do they even have alexithymia? they're naturally good at saying such meaningful words like wtf.

soooo tldr; i do the "quality time" and "receiving gifts", and xelle does the "words of affirmation". (i think??)

32. Do you share any interests? If so, what are they? If not, what sorts of things do you both do together?

oh yeah, ya bet. we both listen to the same bands! just like arctic monkeys and pink floyd. i think i was overjoyed when i knew about it. i loved them even more, buahahah. oh, we also like memes. and food.

36. What do your friends think of your s/o? Have they met them? What do your s/o’s friends think of you, and have you met them too?

friends? me, friends? psh, no.

just kidding, i think i'm pretty much friends with everyone they've met? yeah, we both know scott, jean, kurt, ororo, jubilee. basically everyone in the school. i don't think i've gained that much friends back in high school. :/ guess i'm the one who had to go along with their flow.

they all think i'm annoying, i bet. except for scott and kurt, probably (hey we're a squad! ya can't stop us!). they can tolerate my attitude but i'm pretty sure they're at the tip of the iceberg.

thanks for the ask! now i'm gonna go pester xelle. 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

A Doorway is Opened (Chapter 2)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 

 It was June 2020 and progress was being made with plans to re-open film production - Keanu would soon be heading back to Germany to continue shooting the Matrix 4.  With the lock-down restrictions on meeting friends lifting, Keanu invited Hannah to dinner at his house. He even cooked - a dish of spaghetti with prawns, fresh tomato and lemon that his sister had taught him.  This would be their first meeting in 2 months and their last in 2 months due to the shooting schedule.  

After dinner, they went through to his living room and sat on the sofa to talk through the latest draft of the script.

 “So, you’re glad I pushed you on this aren’t you? Gave you something to do in lock-down huh?”

 “Yeah OK you win”, she laughed. “I’m grateful to you for giving me the confidence to try”  

 She carried on:

 “You know these past couple of months I’ve felt like the clouds have lifted, the clouds of grief …. and I know that’s partly just time passing but it’s also thanks to you and your friendship” she spoke in an almost whisper.  When she met his gaze he was blushing again!

 “The screenplay gave me a real focus for the first time since Mark died you know other than helping the boys and just putting one foot in front of the other”

 He nodded his understanding

 “I kind of feel like a plant coming back to life after a long dark winter”

 He smiled to think he’d helped her to loosen grief’s grip on her soul.

 “I heard a theory about this before. They said that your grief is always the same, the same size and just as painful but your life grows around it and cushions the pain”

 Keanu nodded his agreement

 “For me” he said, “sometimes my grief bursts forth like an alien from my chest when I least expect it. I hope we find a way to express your concept in the movie when it’s made -  I love it so much. You have some beautiful ways of explaining grief”

 “Well like I said, that one’s not mine, it’s just one I found that really resonated with me”

 “You’re too modest”

 They looked at each other. Somehow, the atmosphere had changed with the sharing of such deep feelings. Keanu looked at her, soft brown eyes holding hers for a few moments longer than felt comfortable. Suddenly he shook his head as if a shiver went through him

 “Where are my manners, would you like some more wine”

 “I better not, I’m driving and I’ve already had one glass” she said.

 “You could always sleep over, in the spare room I mean, I mean I’m not hitting on you or anything, not that I wouldn’t want to, oh God! ……….”

 By this point, Hannah had started laughing at his befuddlement and he started to giggle as well.

 “Sorry for being such a dork – could you stay though?” he beseeched her with his eyes,  or do you need to be back for the kids?, I know I sound like I’m begging, I kind of am I guess ……….. it would just be nice to talk some more ………. I mean what with we me going away for 2 months, Facetime just isn’t the same!”

 Hannah took pity on him and placed her hand on top of his and stroked it softly

 “1 I don’t need to be back for the boys, they’re at their grandparents this week and so 2, yes I could sleep over and 3 yes please, more wine!”

 Keanu beamed and leapt up to fetch the bottle from the kitchen.

“What were we talking about before I started being a total dork?!

 Hannah chuckled “oh grief, death, our usual cheery stuff!”

 “Oh yes, of course we were, what else is there after all?!”

 A ghost of a smiled showed on Hannah’s face.

 “Do you mind telling me some more about Mark? How long were you together”

 “Wow, over 30 years   - we were just kids when we met, literally in elementary school. But we didn’t go out until I was 17, nearly 18. I guess I kind of stalked him until he caved in!  We knew we were in love about a month in I guess and we got engaged whilst at uni but married just after. I was 23 so we had been married 27 years when he died”

 “Wow you were so young to be getting married!”

 “I know right! - when I think Toby is already nearly that age, it freaks me out big time.  Anyway, I guess you almost know the rest, from the book. We were lucky in so many ways to find each other and stay in love throughout.

 A comfortable silence fell as she reflected and wondered about his romantic history. She hoped their current intimacy meant it would be OK to ask.

 “What about you? Who have been your big loves, if it’s OK to ask”

 “Sure – I mean I think I can be confident of not seeing any of this in next week’s National Enquirer! Let me see, errrrm  there was Penny. She drove with me from Toronto to LA when I left there to pursue my career.  It wasn’t exactly serious - she knew how focussed on my acting I was, but she was special, my first steady girlfriend I guess.”

Keanu then told her about a few other steady girlfriends in the 80’s and early 90s. None of them had lasted beyond a year. Film and promotional schedules often overtook his time and took him away from LA making it hard to sustain relationships.

 “And then there was Jennifer. We had a long distance thing largely as I was away filming the first Matrix not long after we hooked up. I think that added in my head to the romance of it all. Writing her letters on my little typewriter after long days on set, posting them from thousands of miles away. Once I got back to LA things felt less sure, she was never confident in us, always needing reassurance and I think she found the celebrity thing both exciting and overwhelming - like she was part way a fan, partly my lover, you know? Then she got pregnant and everything changed”

 “Oh so Jennifer was the mother of your baby, the one who died?”

 Hannah knew this one fact about him but had steered away from looking stuff up on-line about it. She counted him as a friend now so if anything was to be shared, it had to come from him.

 “Yeah, Ava’s mother. 19 years ago…….so much water under the bridge.”

 “Do you think about her often now?”

 “Who? Jen or Ava?”

 “Both I guess”

 “Yeah sometimes. You know in a sliding doors type way, especially at Christmas. That’s when we lost Ava. Christmas Eve 1999. What about you, do you think about your lost babies?”

 “Yes sometime of course …….  but I think it’s different for me. My lost babies paved the way for Josh. If they’d lived, he wouldn’t be here, so I don’t mourn them as maybe you mourn your daughter, do you see? Of course I do think of them and every Christmas we’d hang stars and angels on the tree for them. That’s how we remembered them and the pain of their loss.”

 Hannah was quiet for a few moments, remembering

 “Do you have a way, a ritual to remember Ava? Do you and your family do something to remember her?”

 “I guess they always just try to make sure I’m not alone at Christmas. That’s threatened to happen a couple of times and then Brenda or Janey or Alexandra have stepped in you know to rescue me! Stop me embodying my meme!”

 “Your meme?”

 You know, “Sad Keanu”?

 “That one must have passed me by! I’ll get the boys to explain to their boomer mom!”

 “I’m so glad you’re a boomer mum as you say and not all over it when it comes to press and internet stuff about me. It’s refreshing. Makes me feel I can be me without all that stuff informing who you think I am. Sometimes it gets in the way with new people, you know? I know I can be myself around my old old friends like Alex (he was in Bill and Ted) and Rob (he was in the band with me)

 “Wait you were in a band?”

 “Yes back in the 90s, Dogstar. Our folk thrash punk band”

 “Sounds interesting – I clearly wasn’t paying enough attention back in the 90s!”

 “Well we weren’t exactly topping the charts so that would probably explain it!”

 “Can I hear some of your stuff?”

 “Sure”

 Keanu fetched some cds and had a look through to pick a song, going for  “And I Pray”.

 “Gosh, a man of many talents” she praised “what did you play?”

 “the bass”

 “Cool”

 “wanna listen to some more music? I can hook up my phone to the speakers and we can play things on Spotify”.

 “Sure, so you’re au fait with all the new tech? I took me ages to get there and I still have loads of cds and vinyl”

 “me too   - believe me I’m generally way behind the curve with technology but my god-daughter and my kid sister both played a role in bringing me into the 21st century”

They spent the next couple of hours, huddled on the sofa, scrolling through music choices on his phone and sharing both his and her favourites as well as reminiscing about bands they’d grown up listening to and great concerts they’d been to.

 It was around 1am, with Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” softly playing that Hannah’s head lolled onto Keanu’s shoulder, the impact startling her back awake

 “sorry, sorry” she said embarrassed

 “hey no worries, you wanna go to bed now?” he asked

 “Yeah, as you saw, my eyes are closing” 

 “Come on, let’s get you set up in the guest room, I’ve got a spare t-shirt you can sleep in if you like and there’s a new toothbrush in the en-suite with your room.

 The room was a pretty one, perhaps decorated with his god-daughter in mind she thought. Once he’d shown her where things were and how to work the shower, Keanu bade her goodnight with a light kiss on her cheek. Despite being so tired, it took Hannah a good half hour to fall asleep. She touched the cheek where he’d kissed her and giggled inwardly at herself for feeling like a giddy teenager. In the past 2 months, she’d recognised her growing fondness for Keanu, putting it down to a mix of absence making the heart grow fonder and the Covid crisis making her susceptible. She’d found him very attractive way before she met him but she certainly hadn’t expected that he would reciprocate those nascent feelings. Tonight his lingering gaze as they talked about grief, his befuddlement trying to get her to stay and his soft goodnight kiss all made her wonder and maybe even hope. Tomorrow was another day.

[edengarden]

hi hi! could i ask for a regular matchup please? my positive traits are reliable, kind and optimistic. negative ones are naggy, easily excitable and airheaded (space-out often and prone to losing my balance). i'm an infj and a virgo with my hogwart's house being ravenclaw.

my hobbies are meditating, singing, writing (i like horror and romance the most) and hiking in the nature. otherwise i'm not very athletic but sknce i get motion sick easily i prefer walking anywhere i can😅 i love learning about languages and geography as well! my music take is quite open from classical to rock to chill beats. cheerful folk music has a special põace in my heart though from childhood💕 rap is the only genre i tend to avoid because the lyrics are usually difficult for me to understand.

in a partner i value loyalty and open-mindness, someone who listens to me despite my quiet voice but knows when it's time to get outside and move. a sense of humour is always appreciated because mine tends to be a little abstract, hehe😇

thank you so much!! i hope you'll have a good day!

I’d match you up with Osamu!

The ~vibes~ i’m getting here are undeniable. Buddy can handle naggy; he’s handled Atsumu all his life anyways. I really think the two of you would go hiking as a date!! Like pick him up after a shift and outright tell him right then “hey we’re going on a hike” 9/10 he’s 100% hyped for it and will not complain. But if you do hike together, holding hands is a must. Also taking pictures. Osamu takes selfies of the two of you and it takes up like a quarter of his camera roll dude. He gets one (1) Bad Idea per hike, which usually results in him getting hurt and you uploading a new funny video of him on your private story, but the two of you laugh about it so it’s fine.

Osamu!! Has!! A!! Meme!! For!! Your!! Contact picture!! No, I’m not taking any constructive criticism on this. At the start, it was like, a legit meme that represented you pretty well, but a while later you got promoted to a wholesome meme with a blurry picture and a bunch of hearts. He’s the type of person to send you stuff at 3 AM and if you react to it he’ll scold you for being up at this time and demand that you go to sleep. Ah, yes. The Hypocrite.

He’s definitely there for you. While Osamu isn’t very quiet most times, he’s still rather attentive and will make sure you have your space to talk and express yourself.

Oh, and please don’t mind Atsumu either trying to intimidate or flirt with you, he’s jealous. Osamu will ask you often if it bothers you and if it does he’ll try to have you avoid his brother as much as possible, but if you tell him you don’t mind, he’ll love to sit back and watch you roast his brother for being jealous AND single. At this point his presence might also be a precaution bc Atsumu didn’t dye a part of his hair blonde like that for nothing if you get what i mean— Anyhow, you warm his soul. He might make some memes about the interaction himself and send them to you.

Songs!!!

- Hiding from the Rain, Autolaser & PLS&TY ( I feel like Osamu has more of an up-beat type of music vibe bro)

- Moonage Daydream, David Bowie (the one live on the 3rd of july 1973 is your favourite)

- pH, Shibo & Nick Dorian

- In the Flesh, Pink Floyd

[blapisblogs]

Oh god... Yeah, right after the in-video ad break, we’re hit with this: Doug Walker dressed like a Nazi with a smudged dotted line around his face and the words “person you hate” written on his forehead in sharpie. Dude, if this moment didn’t make you stop and wonder what the fuck happened with your life to bring you to this moment, then it damn well should’ve been.

Before you ask if this was based on something from the film or album, yes, but as usual there’s context for it. It’s difficult for me to explain, but in short the idea is that Pink’s attempt to build a metaphorical wall between himself and everyone else is making him more and more mentally unsound, right up to the point where after he’s forced to be drugged up for one of his shows he hallucinates himself as a fascist (the very thing his father died fighting against), the fans his zealous followers, and his concerts rallies where he encourages violence against marginalized groups. This goes on for a few songs with the violence and threats escalating in each one, and by the end of the last one he’s ranting and raving incoherently on a megaphone until the hallucination ends as he shouts for it all to stop, finally realizing how dangerous the things he’s been doing to himself are. It’s disturbing, and intentionally so. That’s what I got out of both the album and the film anyway. I have no clue what Doug Walker got out of this part of the film, though, because these next two parody songs have almost nothing to do with it. The first one mentions it so people will know that it’s a parody of something from the film, but that’s about it, and the second one doesn’t mention anything about the film or album at all.

The next two parodies are of “In the Flesh” (the reprise), and “Waiting for the Worms”, neither of which I will post links to based on what I explained earlier, but if you want to look them up yourself I will warn you that there are things said there that are identical to things the Nazis have said and done, and use words like “queers” and others that I dare not say nor want to. (Also, yeah, they didn’t include “Run Like Hell”, presumably because Doug couldn’t think of another full parody’s worth of “fuck you, haters” for it.) In the parody of the former, Doug addresses his crowd of followers, which are the same five people copy-pasted onto the screens of multiple devices (I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be intentional commentary or Doug didn’t have enough people willing to work with him to pull off what he wanted for this), in a place called the “Echo Chamber”.

Yes, really.

It’s supposed to be commentary on how bad callout/outrage/cancel/purity/whatever-we’re-calling-it-this-month culture can be, but considering who this is coming from, what his own fans are like, and the rest of the presentation in this “review” it comes off more like “technology bad” and “social media bad”. Worse than that, the latter parody song is still about callout/outrage/cancel/etc. culture, only now it’s even more apparent that this is his way of commenting on the Change the Channel movement. This isn’t just me saying this either, other people have taken note on it as well, including people who didn’t even completely hate Doug Walker after the Change the Channel thing happened. I’ve seen one person try to (rather weakly) argue that it wasn’t trying to mock the Change the Channel movement, but even if one were to give them the benefit of the doubt and they weren’t making fun of that, then 1: they still should’ve known that doing something like this was going to get people to draw comparisons to said movement whether it was intended or not, and 2: it’s still absurdly over-the-top and out of touch with why “outrage/cancel/callout/whatever culture” has become a thing. It’s about as subtle as, well, a hammer to the face. (Speaking of which, the hammers for this parody are used to make hashtags instead of an ‘x’ and instead of chanting “Pink Floyd” or “Hammers” the fans chant “hashtag”. I’ve been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of how to comment on this, but all I can do is put a hand up to my face like Captain Picard in those memes, I think that says it all.)

This message of “technology and social media bad” is so ridiculously passé at this point that it’s laughable, and yet it seems like Doug Walker is under the impression that he’s saying something new and brilliant. This is also a truly bizarre message to be hearing from a guy who had so much success with his internet career that he quit his previous job to pursue it full-time. You know, that career that’s dependent on technology. (Also, Doug, social media itself didn’t cause those problems with said internet career: that was all you.)

The sad part is that for this sequence we get some brief scenes with actually good CGI of things like marching smartphones (identical to the original’s marching hammers) and a decently-animated 2-D(-ish?) sequence of a six-fingered hand coming up from the ground and forming into a hammer much like something that happened during part of the film (not this part specifically, but a part). It’s weird in context, but these animated parts look far better than any of the other effects that were used earlier. I’m guessing the guest person who made the effects I’ll talk about later also animated this (at least the CGI bits; as I said earlier, the 2-D-ish parts look so suspiciously close to the original that I have to wonder if they were traced over for this). While it is good, that just makes me wonder that if they were hired to make the animation in this part then why didn’t Doug let them animate the black eagle scene for the “Goodbye Blue Sky” parody section too? He clearly had the time and budget to get a talented animator to do this stuff for him, so why not fully use them?

Also, I swear one of the visuals looks more like a mashup between something from the opening of Phantom of the Paradise and The Wall than anything actually from The Wall alone. Maybe Doug and/or the person animating this got their rock operas momentarily mixed. Maybe they did this on purpose to mess with people. Maybe my brain’s making up this shit because a Phantom of the Paradise/The Wall double feature sounds infinitely better than this “review”. Maybe the headache I’ve gotten while watching this dumpster fire is fucking with me. I don’t know.

[Lyrics (and snark) below the cut]

Oh yeah, I’m the P-Person you all think you know That sucks up all your angst and confusion I’m that nameless foe, huh!

[Oh, so you are trying to do an impression of Bob Geldof. ...It shouldn’t take me over half-way into the “review” to figure out for sure that’s what you’re doing. Or did you choose to only actually do an impression of him for just this one part? I can’t even fathom almost any of Doug’s thought process for this “review” anymore.]

I’ve got some weird news for ya, sunshine, This was dissin’ Thatcher’s administration

[So I have seen Wikipedia mention that at least some people have either interpreted or used this part as commentary on Margaret Thatcher, and I don’t know enough about UK politics to dispute whether it was intentional or not. What bothers me is that if this was intentional, then how did Doug pick up on this? That would mean that he either caught this but somehow didn’t pick up on any of the other, more obvious things in this film that doesn’t have “the slightest bit of subtlety”, or he researched this and only this. Or it was a random guess he made that happens to coincide with what some others have interpreted from this part. Who knows.]

But it’s vague enough to put anyone you fear - Politician, showman - just put their face here!

[Uh... Are you talking about how someone edited this part of The Wall so that it was Drumpf in there because of how much he talks about his stupid wall? ...You are aware that the entire point of the film and album is that those kind of walls aren’t good and should be broken down, right? You know that Roger Waters himself openly despises Drumpf, right? ...Right?]

Are there any authority figures in the crowd tonight? Well put them in The Wall! (Get. Them. All.) That one’s looking stressed, he wants to feel oppressed Put him in The Wall! (Post. His. Balls!)

[Oh yes, The Wall - a film about the cycle of abuse and the effects it has on people and how taking self-isolation to its most extreme is unhealthy for the health of one’s self as well as those around them, among many other things - is something that adults don’t take seriously, not like this web video that has lines talking about people posting some dude’s balls on social media for shits and giggles. (In case you couldn’t tell that was sarcasm.)]

And that one looks sheltered, like she never leaves her room I’ll be that friend that you can blame for all your gloom That one looks like he really wants to be outraged! Now with social media, you have the stage!

[...You know, as awful as the previous songs in this “review” were, at least they were about the film and album. This, however... What even is this?]

(This is the part where the five-person audience starts chanting “hashtag” which goes on until Doug and his two goons run outside, run back inside due to it being too bright out, and then start the next parody. There’s not much to comment on for that, it’s just stupid.)

[End “In the Flesh” parody, begin “Waiting for the Worms” parody]

(One, two, three, post it!) Ooh, you can’t convince me now Ooh, I’m too far on my side Goodbye, nuance I never will abide

[You are not one to talk about nuance, not regarding this film or album, and certainly not about the Change the Channel movement, which this parody is pretty transparently about as we’ll see soon enough.]

It’s us vs. them, I don’t even know who us or them are

[“Us and them, and after all we're only ordinary men.” Come on, man, I know it’s not from The Wall, but the opportunity was right there. Actually, since Rob Walker is there as the Charts Guy (a recurring character in Doug’s reviews), you could’ve even thrown in a “Have a Cigar” reference if you wanted (also not from The Wall, but still). I know at this point I’m nitpicking, but I’m forcing myself to watch a “review” where a guy dressed himself like a Nazi to make a blatant “take that” statement against his “haters” without understanding and/or caring why the Nazi comparisons were there in the original; if Doug Walker doesn’t give a shit about those kind of details, then why should I.]

I just wanna be angry so I can be (Tweeting) About those who hate me (Tweeting) I need their attention (Tweeting) Love me or hate me, just look at me more

[Sadly one can’t say that this train wreck of a “review” didn’t make at least some people look at Doug Walker again even after they didn’t want to.]

(Tweeting) Whatever side you choose, just don’t ever wane (Tweeting) Waiting for the point

[I’d joke about how that’s how most people felt about the video at this point, but everyone has made that joke already. Everyone.]

Don’t fear that you’re wrong Just fight until the end, my friend

[At this point I could just say “Okay, Boomer” at every line in these two parody songs and it’d be about as meaningful as all of Doug’s comments about the actual film. Remember, the film he’s parodying here and supposed to be reviewing (allegedly)? The film he’s not mentioned once in this particular parody?]

All you need to do is fight off something Don’t worry! As long as you don’t see me as human, You can hate me all you want! Because remember, this can never happen to you! I’m bad! You’re good! The more extreme you can get the more happy you’ll become! They’ll put that person whose face you hate here, and tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!

[...Doug, please tell me you didn’t have these parody songs in mind first as a sort of rebuttal against your detractors and then used it as an excuse to make a “review” for the actual film in this style as well as a whole parody album of it...

Also, this may be another nitpick, but towards the end the guys aren’t even “marching” in time to the music. Because of course they’re not.]

Favorite supernatural creature? i’ve always been partial to direwolves, and yes, this started even before i read a song of ice and fire!

Favorite folktale/myth? call me a basic girl, but i’ve always love the myth of persephone and hades. persephone is a bamf, and hades isn’t really as cold/evil as he’s depicted in pop culture. they’re a power couple and i love them.

Favorite thing to wear? cool tights! lace tights, fishnets, cutouts, sparkly, any kind of tights paired with a dress and boots or high-tops.

What’s a piece of media (book, movie, game, etc.) that has had the greatest impact on you as a person? oh wow. okay at first i was like “i can’t narrow it down to one thing” but i actually can. probably the wall by pink floyd. i listened to it in full for the first time in college when i was myself very depressed (but didn’t really realize it) and had withdrawn and isolated myself from many of my friends. the concept of the album spoke to me a lot and helped me process a lot of my feelings and recognize that my coping mechanisms (withdrawing, isolation) weren’t healthy and weren’t fair to people who cared about me. i don’t listen to much floyd anymore but i still consider that album my favorite of all time, for personal reasons.

Favorite thing about yourself? Physical and non physical. physically, my eyes. they are good. nonphysically, probably that i have a really well-rounded set of interests that lets me relate to most kinds of people? idk how to explain that best. but you guys really just see the gaming/writing side of me, where i also irl am an avid movie watcher, sports fan, record collector (of many genres, too), etc. so i feel like i’m able to engage with or find something in common with almost anyone.

Favorite Disney movie? (if not a fan favorite animated movie would work too.) the lion king! ugh it’s the best. but my next favorites, in order, are mulan, hercules, and beauty and the beast.

What does your dream apartment/house look like? more storage space! but not overall any more space than i really need. and i would need to be in a city and in walking distance to *things* (things being food, shopping, fun). i can’t ever go back to living in a place where you have to drive to everything you need/want to do. a good view would help, too!

What are your thoughts on marriage? (lol we had a discussion last night in class now it’s got me thinking, along with the copious weddings I’ve been to.) i myself like the idea of marriage and would like to be married to the right person someday. but i don’t like the societal expectations of marriage and the way society looks down on unmarried adults once they reach a certain age.

Describe what makes a good ship to you. mutual respect, power balance, personality balance (i love opposites attract or ships where they each bring out each other’s strengths and help work through their weaknesses), ships that promote personal growth in each character 

What does home feel like to you? wherever stevie (my cat) is! she is not an official emotional support pet, nor do i plan on registering her as one, but having her and being around her has really improved my depression and mental health since i got her two years ago.

Your favorite thing to eat? pierogi! i just got some for easter from my grandmother. now i have to wait until thanksgiving until she makes them again, or make them myself haha
