Most-Listened of August 2023

(via stats.fm/spotistats)

[last month]

1. Deacon Blues -- Steely Dan (i may be depressed... bottom text. but also this song is GORGEOUS!! i've been singing the chorus to myself over and over again all month)

2. Gay Frogs (Alex Jones Remix) -- Placeboing, Alex Jones (this was in the #1 spot for most of the month, but luckily it got replaced before the 31st. i would like to issue a formal apology for my taste in music...)

3. Moonlight Mile -- The Rolling Stones (soundtrack for moving back to university, which i did earlier this month)

4. Quiet Night -- Oohyo (i love the feeling of falling asleep, and "quiet night" reminds me of that feeling!)

5. People -- Libianca (this is such a good-texture song! i can honestly see it being on my most-listened lists for the rest of the year??)

6. Maybe You Saved Me -- Bad Suns, PVRIS (PLEASE don't let this be the first bad suns song you listen to it's literally not that good, especially compared to their other stuff. i can't explain why i like it so much, it is literally the boringest of boring pop songs i think i've just been pavlov'ed into becoming obsessed with everything christo bowman sings)

7. Glasses -- IU (i have no idea how this got here, but yay IU!!! "zezé" from that album is WAY better tho)

8. bad idea right? -- Olivia Rodrigo (OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS SO FUN. INSTANT! FUCKING! CLASSIC! i wish the barbie movie soundtrack made me feel as obnoxiously teenage-girl-y as this song does)

9. Time Difference -- Infinite (i very love this production!!! i feel like i can get lost in it, it's beautiful)

10. Get It Together -- Genshin (found this on someone's rnb study playlist a few weeks ago, and i've been leaving it on repeat all the time since then)

11. Los Cuerpos -- Alba Reche, Fuel Fandango (this song would have been on this list even if it was just a 3-minute version of that acappella intro, it's SO good)

12. Delicate -- Taylor Swift (you've seen all the aesthetic, good-texture music on this list. is this really a surprise?)

13. Lay Low -- YooA (speaking of good-texture music--crunchy song!!)

14. None of My Business -- Itzy (i would NOT have expected this to be my favorite song from their latest album, but i'm down BAD)

15. Hard Times -- Paramore (will i get bullied off tumblr if i say this is my favorite paramore?)

Other Notable Most-Listened Songs:

#16: Lemon Black Tea -- Jo Yuri (probably my favorite release from this month, definitely my favorite kpop release from this month!)

#25: Canciones de Amor a Ti -- Rigoberta Bandini (tell me you watched red white & royal blue without telling me you watched red white and royal blue... btw i thought the movie was terrible, especially compared to how awesome the book was, but at least this song is great!!)

#26: Air Force One -- Odd Eye Circle (OH I GET THIS ONE NOW.)

#39: Madeline -- Limelight (another favorite release from this month! look, I'M not over tropical house even if you are)

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

he did it! 🐍 and it only took...uhhh...well, there probably could've been less punches, but why hold back!

PUNCHES FOR EVERYONE

I finally watched breaking bad (all within the past week or so while I worked, finished it and watched el camino last night) and I'm confident this isn't a new thought I'm expressing or anything but genuinely how DID an entire generation of dudes convince themselves Walter White was cool and admirable and intended to be sympathetic. I know ppl just lack media literacy sometimes but I'm still so confused

I don't think I've EVER watched a piece of media that so blatantly depicts a guy making the worst possible decisions at every turn and having his life ruined for it and not being redeemed or made sympathetic in any significant or lasting way. the kinds of justifications villains USUALLY give that make people consider them "morally grey" or "tragic" or whatever (everything I did was for my loved ones, I did what I had to to survive, once I was in this I couldn't get out, I just needed you to trust me so I could keep you safe, etc etc) is ALWAYS framed as complete self-serving bullshit when Walt says it, and one of the only shreds of personal growth he ever exhibits in the whole series is when he finally fucking admits that. every time he does something even remotely cool or drops a quotable one-liner, something terrible immediately happens that makes everything worse and makes him look like an unreasonable idiot asshole again. by the end of the series the ONLY characters they can still contrast as being morally "worse" than him are literally a bunch of bloodthirsty neonazis who kept a guy in a cage for several months. this show is practically SCREAMING at you the entire time not to admire Walt. why did every dude I knew in highschool have his face on tshirts and Facebook pfps.

I just don't get it. at least with The Dark Knight's Joker it was like, a feature-length movie and that's it. you spend a lot less time with the Joker and it has a lot less time to delve into his motivations, so there's way more room for flanderization and misinterpretation as people extrapolate the few cool/interesting/sad things they saw into a whole nuanced misunderstood guy in their heads and online. Walter White has 5 seasons' worth of 45min episodes to convince you beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a miserable fucking loser who ruins everything he touches because of greed and selfishness. if you weren't watching it for that, what WERE you getting out of this. what DID you think this show was about. am I just missing some key piece of context from 2012 or whatever that would help me understand this

"She's Gone"

This bad boy was started on the third of November, and finished on the seventh. In total, there are thirty panels (all of which were drawn separately).

A good chunk of N's dialogue near the end came to me after I did some improv to figure out what he should say. I have since dubbed it "N's Failure Monologue."

been thinking a lot abt fwb!gojo today.... this is his first time ever doing this kind of a thing btw. i do not think he sleeps around AT ALL. but with you, he just... you start off as very good friends but then it keeps escalating – you start sitting closer and closer, your thighs always touching as you lounge on the couch. his hands seem to always find your waist in public, your seem to be in his hair more and more. and the thing is... satoru isn't all that good at deciphering his own feelings. he isn't entirely sure what this is; the butterflies in his stomach whenever you laugh at his jokes, the warmth that spreads under his skin whenever he sees you bend over. it's weird. he doesn't know what to do.

so, when one night you inch closer with your hand on his thigh, he lets you. he welcomes you with open arms. you ask whether it's okay or not and he lets out a shaky yes, his cheeks burning with something new, his eyes low and heavy as he stares at your lips. you feel so good on top of him, your body flushes to his and he thinks about how perfect this is. how much he likes it. the night is like a wet dream for him, something he's always dreamed off but when you leave the bed and hop into the shower without giving him a kiss, he doesn't even know what the weight on his heart means. where it comes from. he doesn't ponder over it for too long though as you step outside the bathroom in a shirt way too big, his shirt. he watches you get dressed and hums when you joke about his bed hair. he thinks you look gorgeous. he doesn't ask for you to stay – if this is what you want, to leave without the desire to continue your adventures from the last night, then so be it. satoru wants you to be happy. you tell him it was good and that you'd like to, perhaps, do it again and he can taste you on his tongue when he says that he feels the same. satoru will take every crumb you'll give him with a smile on his face. he won't complain and he won't ask for more, not yet at least. for now, he'll be completely and utterly at your mercy, a lapdog for you to play with whenever you so desire to do. a selfless kind of love.

Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.
