since y'all seemed to want this.... here's the live notes i took while listening to each song for the first time (bold are thoughts i had during later listens)

fortnight:

‘i was a functioning alcohol till nobody noticed my new aesthetic’ what the fuck does that even mean…

love the fact she gave post the female collab treatment. don’t wanna hear what he has to say.

they’re voices sound actually good together?

some pockets of the melody are catchy

okay i don’t hate this

ttpd:

her red flags are on fire in this song lol

this seems very half-cooked

also jacks weird mixing continues to plague us all

CHARLIE PUTH???? WHAT THE FUCK WHY HE HERE

tattooed golden retriever??? ……no way

my boy breaks all his favorite toys:

i blinked and it’s half over

this also is like… half cooked and didn’t need to be released tbh

i love the way she sings the second verse tho

down and:

the production does not match the vibe

did tpain produce this

i’m… kinda bored lol

like i have nothing to say this also didn’t need to be released tbh

this grew on me a lot actually

so long london

the production is so futuristic?

oh im obsessed with how she sounds on this one

her talk-singing in the verses is great

honest lyrics without any clunky unnecessary metaphors! a win!!

the fast-paced verses with th slow chorus is really really cool

a favorite so far

daddy i love him

i can barely hear her? the bad mixing continues

‘growing up precociously sometimes means not growing up at all’ oh yeah WE KNOW

is this…… is this about her dating matty and loving how people hate him… no fucking way she’s this stupid

SHE IS BEING THIS STUPID

‘it’s white noise’ yeah yeah that’s exactly how id describe him

.... anyway y'all remember when fans really believed the little mermaid theory and this song was supposed to be about how 'joe stole her voice' lmaooo

we will pretend this one doesn't exist!

fresh out the slammer

are we getting another ‘i didn’t cheat technically’ song lol

what is this weird tempo change….

okay kinda catchy

it’s sounds exactly like you are in love at the end….. jack is really out of tricks

florida

‘my friends all smell like weed or little babies’ what the fuck is she even talking about anymore

i’m sorry but i’m laughing at the phrase ‘fuck me up florida’

again the production sounds so detached from the vocals

i honestly still have no idea how i feel about this one

guilt as sin

an real instrument?? wow crazy

okay she’s kinda cute? catchy and fun, love the melody

i love when she goes up at the end of the vocal

okay…. i don’t mind this one she’s catchy, a little too long and drawn out but cute

who’s afraid of little old me?

what is this production? it’s way too soft to be as threatening as they’re trying for

why did jack push her vocals back so far when she’s supposed to scream…. that’s ruins the whole thing…. she’s supposed to be screaming and threatening….. not quiet and far away…. hello

this song is trying very hard to be threatening but it’s not... vigilante shit 2.0

‘you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum they raised me’…………… upper middle-class pennsylvania?

‘i’m drunk on my own tears isn’t that what they all say, that’ll sue you if you step on my lawn’ okay bar?

the bridge was good but that’s about it.

i can fix him

…………… not another matty song oh god

‘i can handle a dangerous man’…… im too stunned to speak this is so embarrassing

wow taylor really is that girl who like ‘women supporting women’ and then dates/defends a racist bf…. a walking example of white feminism

intersectional feminism found dead.... twice....

loml

okay this is really nice?

I WAS ACTUALLY ENJOYING THE SONG WHY DID SHE RUIN IT BY SAYING ‘MR STEAL YOUR GIRL’ 💀

if we ignore that one line we're good this is good. im refusing to let that line ruin such a good song

i can do it with a broken heart

‘bitch smile’ why are there so many cringey lyrics on this album lol

what is this song omg why do i kind of like it

taylor please learn depressed isn’t a synonym for sad

they recycled the mastermind production

wait till taylor finds out most of the entire world is sad while they're doing their job and has to pretend they're not

smallest man who ever lived

oh i think i like this?

‘you said normal girls were boring’ GIRL AND YOU DIDNT IMMEDIATELY GET UP AND LEAVE??? EWWWW??? she's not beating the pick-me allegations

'i just wanna know if rusting my sparking summer was the goal' okay love that line

i like this a lot

the alchemy

no….. no way this is real

i cannot

THE SPORTS METAPHORS WE JOKED SHED DO THAT AND SHE ACTUALLY DID IT OH NO

touchdown ✅ teams ✅ benches ✅ winning streak ✅ the league ✅

she’s doing…… the worst thing ever this is so laughable

the corny lyrics are on overload

‘this time it’s heroine with an e’ didn’t she write folklore? i can’t remember

that literally was an snl parody of a taylor song

clara bow

love how the guitar sounds… bet money this is an aaron track

a stevie nicks reference!! a win!!!

i like this one a lot no cringey lyrics yet

nope never mind she name-dropped herself don’t like that

overall really liked it tho

the black dog

i think i like it?? this is kind of what i expected the album to be

okay for once the weird production choices kind of pay off

imgonnagetyouback

kinda catchy?

she loves a fancy car getting wrecked line

the pre-choruses are the best part

this would’ve been better without the jack of it all bc he loves a song that doesnt build to anything

this just comes down to personal preference: i don’t like her lighter vocals with jack’s heavy production (ie most of lover lol)

the albatross

a real instrument!!! production that matches taylor’s voice and is well mixed!!! aaron’s arrived!!

i think it’s solid, has good writing and she sounds great. that's about it.

chloe or sam or…

took me a solid minute to have any semblance of a fuck to know what was going on but okay

okay i love this one

wayyyy more emotive than like… most of the original album

a lot of the 2nd version (or whatever this is lol) are way more emotive, maybe because her voice isnt drenched in reverb so we can actually hear her voice emote better

how did it end

this sounds like an old school adele song?

i love this one too….

her being upset people wanna know what happened but then also feeding it while promoting the album oop

i love the story of this one it's so refreshing

so high school

THE PRODUCTION is so good ugh aaron never fails

the man here is a walking red flag girl and the lyrics are ~not it~ but the production is too pretty to hate it

fuck these lyrics are so bad lol

maybe if i disassociate hard enough i can ignore the lyrics and just listen to the production and vibe

give me a karaoke version of this song and we'd be so back

i hate it here

i mentioned disassociation and she made a whole song about it!!!! this one’s mine!!!!

‘without all the racists’ GIRL HUH

WHAT WAS THE REASON

also... girl don’t act like we don’t know you’re fine with that lololololol

if i had a dime for every time i was liking a song to then have it slapped away because of a bad, out-of-pocket lyric……

thank you aimee

this isn’t grabbing my attention

oh the bridge is interesting

it’s meh

i will never be thanking the people that bullied me thanks tho

i look in peoples windows

what do you mean aaron didn’t produce this??? it’s well-made and has instruments?

i love this one, again a really interesting and unique concept that's very refreshing to hear at this point when a lot of the songs feel repetitive

the prophecy

aaron guitar!!!!

she’s nice i like her

i've really grown to love how she sings this one, the melodies are cool.. however i feel like we've heard the same melody.. like on this exact album... where she upturns at the end of every line...

cassandra

this seems very…. familiar… idk i feel like we’ve covered this (i mean there are 31 songs we’ve already covered everything lol)

this is such an aaron song, that's a classic 'the national' piano

i like her voice in this one tho, sounds good

peter

oh love i love this

now this? THIS feels the most like a taylor swift song

once again she’s at her best with a simple instrument and emotive simple lyrics

the piano reminds me of champagne problems

the bolter

i like this! the chorus is so cute

oh i like that ending line a lot!

she’s cute, a little long and drawn out but cute

robin

i haven’t seen anyone talk about this one

welp…. i literally have no feelings toward this one but sounds pretty!

the manuscript

oh this is soooooooo powerful

i love this concept

her ending the album on another introspective album that sums everything up a la dear reader yep yep!!

if you actually read of this ily 💗

#tp #ttpd lb #kind of lol

˚ ༘ ♡⋆｡˚ ﾐ the big seijoh four's status!

✿²˖ ࣪ ➣ includes : oikawa tooru. iwaizumi hajime. matsukawa issei. hanamaki takahiro.

note : random headcanons lol. it was really fun so i may do this with kuroo, kenma, akaashi, and bokuto if i'm feelin crazy. BTW, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE LATE TEENS-EARLY TWENTIES SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN READING!

OIKAWA TOORU:

favourite song/artist/album: he's been super obsessed with 360 by charli xcx him n electronic pop are like this 🤞 he loves likes his rnb girlies so of course kali uchis is his favourite he knows all the lyrics to fue mejor and he doesn't even know spanish! the SZA version of course!!! bc his favourite album is ctrl by SZA the superior sza album

favourite movie/show: he likes psychological horror or classic 2000s romcoms so probably midsommar or 10 things i hate about you. look me in the eye and tell me he isn't a gleek. you can't.

favourite colour: dark blue. he thinks he looks the best in it he would be right

favourite subject/grades: math. he's lowkey good at it? his grades are pretty solid but his fatal flaw is that he gets bored easily unless it's something that really interests him or if it's something he's good at.

tattoos (yes/no): NOT REALLY! him and iwaizumi plan on getting matching tattoos. probably a little doodle of something knight related. he doesn't really want a lot of tattoos other than that.

piercings: he wants a nose ring but he's scaredddd omg. for his eighteenth birthday, iwa n mattsun n makki dragged him to the piercing shop to get it pierced bc he would not shut the fuck up about it 😭

celebrity crush: it changes all the time. he's in lovee with pinkpantheress rn. and also christian bale specifically his velvet goldmine premier look..... god he's so fucking fine sorry im projecting

IWAIZUMI HAJIME:

favourite song/artist/album: he's a casual neosoul enjoyer of course he grew up on it the filipinos love their neosoul n jazz so his favourite song since BIRTH has been on & on by erykah badu. it's between that and sometimes. he was GEEKED to know erykah was on a tyler, the creator song bc that is his favouritee artist real ones know he put suna on it's hard for him to name his favourite album that isn't by tyler but if he had to he would choose channel orange by frank ocean.

favourite movie/show: godzilla. nuff said. he's kind of a jojo's bizarre adventure fan. ok he's actually a huge jojo's fan he just likes to LIE and say he's just a "casual" enjoyer.

favourite colour: green or brown.

favourite subject/grades: literature/academia/history. he's really interested in reading but he can't stand writing essays. his grades are good, everyone thinks he's naturally smart but he did pretty awfully in elementary school until he got his act together lol.

tattoos (yes/no): YES kind of. matching tattoos with oikawa of course. i bet he's got a couple precolonial filipino tribal tattoos too lord he's so fine but other than that, i don't think he's a big fan of tattoos unless they're not very visible at first glance.

piercings: he's got a gold nose stud that he got drunk with mattsun one night and he lowkey regrets it until someone compliments him on it then his confidence is through the roof for the rest of the day

celebrity crush: steve lacy..... he doesn't know if he wants him or wants to be him. OH AND CLEO SOL. she is so beautiful and he is obsessed with her energy.

MATSUKAWA ISSEI:

favourite song/artist/album: he's a slut so his favourite song is probably dreams, fairytales, fantasies by A$AP ferg.... don't shoot the messenger! you cannot convince me that he isn't a crazy frank ocean dick rider. "what do y'all know about frank ocean" is his favourite phrase. he's been in his top artist for spotify wrapped since novacane came out. his favourite album is probably WASTELAND by brent faiyaz because yes i still do believe he is a brent stan.

favourite movie/show: all four of them are really into the spiderverse just ask him where he was when the into the spiderverse release date was announced. his favourite show would probablyyyy be death note he wants to fuck ryuk

favourite colour: pink, purple, and probably some obscure shit like amaranth.

favourite subject/grades: any weird extracurricular that doesn't require a lot of academic knowledge like jewlery making or somethin. it's not that he hates school exactlyyyyy, it's that he finds it soo boring. he has never studied for anything in his life but somehow, his grades haven't gone to shit yet, IN FACT, his grades are pretty good like Bs at worst. the whole team hates him for this.

tattoos (yes/no): YES. he had a tattoo phase for a brief period and he BEGGED all his friends to let him practice like he would PAY some of them. he didn't want to practice on himself at first because his pain tolerence is surprisingly low but hanamaki and oikawa pleaded him to stop being such a pussy because they didn't want anymore shaky ignorant tattoos lol. his phase fizzled out for a little bit and people are shocked that he has this skill because he's not a tattoo artist?? it boosts his ego lol

piercings: he's planning on getting a tongue piercing (and bringing hanamaki too so he can get the vertical eyebrow piercing he's been wanting for a while)

celebrity crush: like i said, he's a slut, so he has a handful... brent faiyaz, alexa demie, dominic fike, jhené aiko, summer walker.... and i get him!!

HANAMAKI TAKAHIRO:

favourite song/artist/album: this mf will listen to anything tbh but he's a fan of alternative bedroom indie music like wallows, rex orange county, and tame impala, so his favourite song is can i call you tonight? by dayglow. but we all know at his CORE, he is a barb... he loves nicki minaj him and oikawa were SO invested in the nicki/meg beef. speaking of, oikawa put him on so much electronic so now his favourite album is CAPRISONGS by fka twigs.

favourite movie/show: him n mattsun watch superbad RELIGIOUSLY do Not talk to meeeee. he will admit fully with his chest that total drama island is 100% his favourite.

favourite colour: pink obviously. sometimes he says vermillion for literally no other reason other than it sounds fancy. he doesn't even know what it looks like 😭

favourite subject/grades: he does not like school so he doesn't have a favourite subject.... he sits in the back on his phone mostly and copies off of iwaizumi and mattsun. oikawa Refuses to let him copy off him because he is STINGY and iwaizumi only does because hanamaki's grades are kind of abysmal 🙏

tattoos (yes/no): definitely. he has some ignorant patchwork on his upper arm and a couple of his thigh, a product of mattsun's tattoo phase. he likes em a lot but he only ever gets them when intoxicated tbh. he almost got a tramp stamp once but iwaizumi finally talked him out of it after an hour of protest. it was oikawa's idea of course.

piercings: LOOK AT HIS FACE AND THEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND THEN TELL ME HE WOULDN'T HAVE A SEPTUM. he's been thinking about getting a vertical eyebrow piercing but he's worried it will heal bad.

celebrity crush: his thoughts that are not about dylan minette are about kali uchis. need i say more.

⚠️Long Post Alert⚠️

Alright I've seen a lot of (negative) buzz around Disney's new show "Primos" so I'm gonna put my 2 cents in

According to the Primos wiki, the show is about "Tater, an eccentric 10-year-old girl with big dreams and, unbeknownst to her, a certain “it factor” that makes her exceptional. When her 12 cousins (“primos” in Spanish) move in for the summer, they help her discover just what it is. Tater’s aspirations and larger-than-life imagination are seen via entries in her super-secret diary, which turn her deepest thoughts into grandiose animation sequences."

FIRST, it's yet ANOTHER piece of children's media about the main character + their large Latin American family.

Upon doing some research apparently this show is about the creator's personal experiences, which okay valid. But when creating media that meant to represent a community it would be better to offer a DIFFERENT perspective rather than give us the same trope that has been done to DEATH.

And I'm gonna be real with yall, I LOVE Coco and Encanto, but both movies also fall under this trope. Not all Latin American families live with their extended family, we don't need ANOTHER piece of media perpetuating the stereotype.

Also, Disney has been putting out a few shows on Disney Channel and Disney Junior that are clear knock offs of Nickelodeon shows. Some examples:

And...hm....lemme think....a kids TV show about a Mexican girl and her quirky large Mexican family getting into some Mexican™️ shenanigans...where have I seen that before...?

Oh right

Yeah the premises are slightly different, but it's essentially the same trope so already right off the bat Primos feels like a knock off version of The Casagrandes.

SECOND, there are many stereotypes already present in the series just from tbe opening theme. Many of the cousins fall into stereotypes themselves, particularly the names. Some the names of the cousins are Gordita, Big Nacho, Nachito, and Cookita. I've seen people justify the use of these names by saying many Latin Americans are given these names as nicknames, which is true. But then again, having a characters named Nacho and Gordita in a show that's supposed to be about LatAm representation is just in bad taste. It's giving "Marco Diaz from Star vs. the Forces of Evil being half Mexican and being obsessed with nachos for some reason but not representing his Latino heritage in any other way other than him wearing that Day of the Dead themed costume in The Blood Moon Ball ep." It feels lazy, and of course, stereotypical.

On TOP of this, the word "Cookita" in many LatAm countries is slang for pussy and the suffix "-ita" means small. And the character with this name is the BABY. So yeah maybe naming the B A B Y character something that to many Spanish speakers means "little pussy" in a show ABOUT Spanish speaking Latin Americans probably isn't the wisest decision.

Another detail people have been pointing out leans into negative Mexican stereotypes is the use of the "yellow filter".

Now I'm gonna be real and say I'm not 100% convinced about the yellow filter being used here. The show takes place over the summer, so the use of yellow might may be used to give the feeling of how hot it is, but I can totally see why Latin Americans would find this offensive.

Also the name "Terremoto Heights" has been heavily criticized. Terremoto means "earthquake" in Spanish and the earthquakes are common in LatAm countries. Then again, show takes place in LA, where a lot of earthquakes occur too. So Im not 100% convinced that this is flat out racist either, but it's definitely in poor taste.

THIRD, the thing that is being SLAMMED at the most, is the improper Spanish grammar and the creator's response to people pointing it out.

In the theme song, the phrase "¡Oye! Primos" is used a lot, which means "Hey cousins!" The issue with this phrase is that "Oye" means hey but in the singular tense, and "Primos" is plural. If you plug in "¡Oye! Primos" to Google translate you'll get Hey Cousins regardless, but in Spanish the phrase is not grammatically correct. In order for it to be grammatically correct the phrase would either need to be changed to "¡Oigan! Primos", "oigan" being the plural word for Hey, or "¡Oye! Primo" and make primo singular. People have been telling this to the creators of the series and well...they haven't exactly been taking it well.

Here's what the voice actress of the main character Tater, Myrna Garcia Velasco said her on social media (Instagram I think, I could be wrong) in response to the bad Spanish:

(If you can't listen to it I'll just summarize. Velasco says that Spanish is the language of the Spanish conquistadors and the only reason why Latinos are LATIN American and not indigenous is because of the Spanish, and to stay mad if you think her incorrect Spanish is an issue. She also brings up how they're "trying to make a good show" for kids who "don't have a grasp on any language" or something?? Idk that's pretty much what she's saying")

Basically this response doesn't make any fucking sense. "Spanish isn't our original language so it doesn't matter if I speak it correctly or not. I'm a NATIVE Mexican so it doesn't matter if I speak Spanish correctly or not"

???????

Girl what the fuck does this mean??? News flash, but the majority of Latin America has been speaking Spanish for CENTURIES. You go to Mexico or most other Latin American countries and you'll find them speaking SPANISH. Yes it's because of the Spanish but it's part of our culture now whether you like it or not. It's like saying "oh it doesn't matter if I speak English correctly or not cause English isn't the US' ORIGINAL language anyway" ?????

Now, the story IS about a mixed kid. Tater is half white half Mexican, so if Tater is a Latina girl who doesn't know Spanish fluently (otherwise known as a "No-Sabo" kid), then the imperfect Spanish would make sense. If the idea behind Primos is to represent the Latin American kids who don't speak Spanish, then yeah thats fine and it was a directoral choice. But judging by Velasco's response, that doesn't seem like thats the idea?? She immediately got defensive and brought up the Spanish colonizers?? Which is relevant??? HOW???

On top of that, one member of the creative team, (not 100% sure who) called someone a "Grammar N@zi" for pointing out the grammatical errors and, well...

That's def not helping their case.

How the HELL are you gonna make show about a Spanish speaking Latin American family and NOT SPEAK SPANISH PROPERLY??? How the HELL are you gonna start beef with SPANISH SPEAKERS over whether or not it's important to speak Spanish CORRECTLY when portraying SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE IN MEDIA??? Yes slang exists, yes different LatAm countries speak Spanish differently, but grammar still exists??

OVERALL: Do I think Primos is this horribly racist dumpster fire? No. Are there MANY choices in this show that are just in poor taste? Absolutely 100%. Are the responses from the creative team outta pocket? Yes of course.

If you ask me, I think the main reason why people are so outraged over Primos is because the stereotypes and tropes are tired and dated, and people KNOW what writers are capable of. The response of this teaser, sandwiched between The Owl House ending and the premier of Across the Spiderverse, which have STELLAR LatAm rep, is proof of that. Luz Noceda, Miles Morales and Miguel O'Hara are SHINING examples of good SPANISH SPEAKING LatAm representation in children's media. We CAN have good LatAm protagonists in mediation, we've SEEN IT. We don't need all the stereotypes and overused tropes, so it makes sense why so many LatAm people feel like Primos is offensive and a step backwards.

Disney is getting lazy, they need to get their shit together

hi musieee!!! i've been following yours truly for a loooong time and personally it may be the best not only in the hazbin fandom but among all the fan fiction i've read. thank you very much for bringing together so many people with the same feelings even though it takes so much effort to even think and write a fiction. (even though i was a monk while waiting for the 30th chap :p) i would be rich if i earned a dollar every time i logged into ao3 to see if the notification had arrived. it will be a great compensation after my birthday and the university entrance exam. at the same time i am very sad because we are approaching the 40th chap. especially when the story between 27-28 has reached its own consistency. i really like the dialogues, they are very natural and fluent, not only in the fan fictions, in general there is no artificiality that i complain about even in many books. you inspire even a procrastinator like me and push me to write something.

as a song suggestion, i recommend "Rattlesnake" from Kabaret Sybarit, which is a song by a Danish band that is unfortunately not very well known and has already disbanded. in fact, it is jazz-oriented fits the New Orleans theme, and some of its songs use French words as well as English, and it is a song that includes the theme of enemy-lovers. i can recommend many of his songs. btw, the word "Sybarit" is a phrase used in Danish for hedonistic men in the 1930s, for some reason this reminds me of someone else ;). I may have taken the song to its root, sorry. here we gooo

"hahaha, I kid you not I think I just heard my Luger saying: 'Shoot me, shoot me Fire me through his wrinkly face ' Well, it's not that I don't want to But first, I wanna hear you yelling 'Kill me, kill me, kill me', hahaha"

"I hope you go to hell Click, bang!"

"Rattlesnake pulls her string and My marionetto kind of guy He won't ever ask me why, no So let the games begin"

these parts scream Penelope in my opinion

"Yeah, doggy-style was never my thing"

even though i don't find such terms very nice, i can't be angry because the woman sings the song beautifully- anyway. i think this part reminds me of how disgusted Alastor is with conventional sexuality

"I never did care for waiting I better like compensating And mama just taught me one thing Sewing stitches like a madame Dying might just be your thing And the pope just taught me one thing: ”Take things into your own hands!”'

i don't know exactly about Nel's relationship with her mother- if im not wrong there were posts on your tumblr talking about the Sheridan sisters' parents, but I seriously forgot- anyway poor woman only had ten years in Nel's life for heaven's sake but the mention of "mama" in the song and the mention of learning to sew like a madam is a shame Alastor. it reminds me of the fact that he did not conform to the much stricter social norms back then. and i think the father part fits both of them. in terms of how she coped after his father's suicide(im sure picking up the dismembered remains of a corpse is a good experience that will make you forget everything else your father taught you-) and how Alastor's issues with his father turned him into a violent person.

"Hey now, don't be blurry You know I hate those eyes"

Al's freakish obsession with smiling and Nel's constant pouting and frowning.

"I'm sorry 'Cause I love you Like a rattlesnake Like a bellyache Like this day to your face And people do crazy things for love"

of course they never openly say that they love each other in their own twisted ways but i think this part explains their behavior.

in some parts of the song, it is said "Living is overwhelming" or "Killing is overwhelming", Penelope is the one who is living, but here "overwhelming" refers to her in a sense that makes people stressed due to the intensity of life. in the one with killing, a more pleasant "overwhelming" is mentioned in the sense that Alastor is enjoying it. thank youuu for your time, i hope you enjoy it and it inspires you

Hiiiii! Sorry for replying to this so late, but hey, that just means that Chapter 30 is already out! Thank you so much for the kind words and all the BANGER song recs revolving around so many characters. I'm gonna listen to these when I'm home form work today!

#my asks #I offer you chapter 30 on a platter

not anon but im here to ask some swiftie related questions! :)

do you have a favorite album/song? (i know that's a hard question!)

how long have you been a fan of hers? (not asking because of swiftie elitism, I just find it interesting seeing fans who have been here the whole time or more recently, or whenever!)

p.s. i hope you don't think this is weird for me to say but i think about the art you made of tarlos in their eras outfits a lot. it's so cute and reminds me of last summer when i went :')

Hi Rachel <33 Thanks for asking! Do I ever get tired of talking about Taylor Swift? NEVER. do you have a favorite album/song? It isss a hard question but I think we all have albums we are sentimentally tied to above others. Like, I remember going to the store and buying Speak Now when it came out in the middle of a school day in the lunch break. That will always be special to me. Butttt. Folklore hit me like a train. Literally, because I first listened to it on a train ride home from the sea, on a vacation that was really tough on me because every vacation is a little challenging for me because of mental health. Back then, it was worse though and I cried on this old rickety train that Germany still uses for some reason, as 'this is me trying' came on and I boped to Betty and I was transformed on an overcast, summer trainride, exiting a new person lol. favorite song: basic bitch alarm but All Too Well (10 min) How long have I been a fan of hers?

Love your phrasing here. I also try not to be super obnoxious in my answer but I've liked her since Fearless era, which back then made me justtt about a teenager that could pine about her crush while listening to Love Story lol. I 'discovered' her music through a Twilight fanvideo...I have always been an obsessed bitch. All in on anything I like a lot, so this woman has had a chokehold on me for more than half my life now. Thank god I chose her as my fave singer. Who else is this lucky with how much music they get so consistently being part of their life too? How about you? And also, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Makes me so happy you like my art. I hope you had an amazing time at the Eras concert!! I can't wait to finally see it this year.

amore amore

Trigger Warning: angst, obsession, drabble

Word Count: 608

Character: curt wild/reader

amore amore

The dirty club — the name of which hardly anyone would have remembered — greeted visitors with a loud sound from rattling speakers, dancing people sprinkled with sequins, vomit on the floor in the corners of the room, bright lighting. The green walls are covered with numerous low-quality posters of rock stars — sticking out their tongues and showing guitars — in black leather jackets, as well as strange red drawings that seemed to be drawn by stoned drug addicts.

Sweat was pouring down from Curt's hot body — it was stuffy. Being stripped to the waist, still wearing blue worn jeans, Curt closes the dressing room door and there is a click — the light turns on and the latch rattles. He takes off the strange collar that hung around his neck for a couple of hours and throws it somewhere to the side — now Curt is not interested in how he performed. In his mind, drugged with highs and screams of visitors, there is only one thing — you.

With a light sigh, still unable to calm the increased heartbeat, he steps with his bare feet to his beloved star, not paying attention to the fact that he stepped on something sharp and hugs you. Pulling closer, he kisses on the lips, but does not feel the answer. He looks at her, hears all the charm with his eyes even at this moment; Curt could not stop enjoying his beautiful star. She is incredible, she saved him at the moment when his hands dropped and his veins were filled with only heroin.

He walked the paths of psychotropics, was about to go crazy; the walls of the house, brothel and alienation of people pressed, as if in the mouth of a dragon.

Brian opened the way for him to his Emerald City — glasses were beating after midnight, he celebrated a successful performance with Slade — it make a splash, the manager told them. Curt was surrounded by beautiful girls, but no one attracted his attention; in the middle of namelessness and strangers (what was he doing here anyway?) — she became close to him, his star... Sneakers continued to wear off on the floor, a pack of Rothmans stuck out in the pockets of her jeans, she was pretentiously smoking a cigarette, standing in the corner of a huge room. He did not dare to approach her, watched from afar.

He was ordered to love, but to love is disgusting. Brian was empty, but behaved like an prince. He clapped his hands when Curt slammed the door, mocked and laughed — "go to your junkies!” he said after him. Curt studied to live alone in the dark, but he never managed. Was weak, doubted. At the moment when the bottom swallowed him, she appeared. The smoke was dissipating before his eyes, he would never fix what he had done during his lifetime, but now she is his salvation, his love, his asterisk, his death, his addiction.

“My star...”

He called her, but got no answer. His cold heart was warmed, and now he was kneeling in front of her. Curt spoke with naive phrases, the songs continued to play, and he smeared the green antiseptic chickenpox — an infection from first love, but the wound did not hurt anymore. Eternity had no love, love had no taste.

They were like Paolo and Francesco, Othello, Desdemona and everything like that, — his star said. Сurt could be a monster, but he sincerely tried to be good. His life with Brian was tedious tales, but only with a cute star he felt love.

There was no love without illness.

Curt continued to live in castles in the air.

i remember that i have been promising the third part of ewan mcgregor's characters for a long time and writing a fic on mark renton, but i still cant find the strength, only on drabbles. sorry to disappoint, but so far only so, im sorry

Tag 9 people you’d like to know better. I was tagged by the lovely @icannotreadcursive

Last song: spotify tells me it is Honeymoon (Forever) by Hellogoodbye, which is off of my ineffable husbands playlist. I have good omens brain rot rn 😅 accepting fic recs if u have any

Currently reading: I have been slowly churning my way thru Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. 1950s Mexicana socialite must go investigate her cousin’s mysterious illness. the cousin lives in a spooky manor after she has married into the once-rich family of a British aristocrat, whose failed mining enterprise hangs over the town like a spectre. ALSO Tombs by Junji Ito—I very much enjoyed the title story and the one about the deep sea creature.

Currently watching: Recently finished Kingdom, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a korean period drama with zombies. The king dies while the queen is waiting to give birth, and the current heir starts a coup. What do you do if you’re from the queen’s clan and desperately want to stay in power? Why, infecting the king’s corpse and turning him into a zombie sounds like a great way to buy time until you have a new heir. The costuming is excellent (THE!!!!! HATS!!!!!!) and the characters are genuinely so likeable.

also going apeshit for star trek lower decks

Current obsession: I blame david tenant’s wonderful acting because after bingeing good omens 3 times in the past few weeks I have now returned to doctor who and am attempting to watch the 13th doctor. it’s fine. not the best quality writing. Im curious to see where this “lone cyberman” plot goes. the evil microplastics episode was silly. i want to know more about “ruth.” i liked the mary shelley bits, but I am slightly put off by the writers not letting thirteen think on the fly. ten always used to come up with these crazy schemes in the moment. meanwhile, in the mary shelley episode, they keep asking thirteen for help and she goes “yeah my brain isn’t working right now check back later.” like, hm. I don’t like the written in incompetence. or perhaps it’s the phrasing/set up of it that’s getting to me? it’s not that there weren’t challenges that were tough for ten, but the writers’ hand wasn’t so….evident? it always felt like big time lord brain working on the problem. now it’s as if they’re telling us “hush we haven’t gotten there yet so just deal with her being dumb no we will not give you more info yet or a satisfying reason for her to act this way.” i’m also not the biggest fan of the whole “oh look at me i’m talking to myself” jokes. I know they’re trying to make the character quirky and likeable, but the joke wasn’t funny the first time and now i’ve heard it like 8 times. save me. I have heard that her final season is better, so hopefully that’s true. I think I will be taking a break for now though so that I can watch more star trek lol

alrighty I’m supposed to tag 9 people i want to get to know better so! let’s go: @kayliflower @dolly-macabre @cosmosredshift7 @godofsickdreams @idylls-in-juniper @minecraftgender @transathenacykes @lezbfrenz @great-exhibition-of-1851

(only if u want to!)

there's glitter on the floor (after the party)

ship: Helnik

rated: T

read on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52884196

Part 4 of the Helnik Royalty AU is Christmas fluff, written for Kay (@im-doing-hot-girl-shit ) for the Bastards of the Barrel WInter Exchange. Hope you enjoy, Kay!

there's glitter on the floor (after the party)

Christmas banquets and New Years galas are all the same – the same themes, same music, same kind of classy entertainment – year after year. Matthias has never found them exciting. Even Christmas has long since lost its charm. When expensive clothes and items are an everyday requirement, gift-giving can easily get excessive. He really appreciates his little sister's handmade or thoughtful gifts – Embla has always been artistic – but the family traditions have felt a tad stiff and planned and lackluster. The highlight has always been decorating their own private tree together, and getting a few rare days of downtime between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Nina throws all his expectations for another boring holiday season out of the window.

The day before the row of banquets start, she shows up with two homemade bingo sheets.

"These are things I think we'll spot people doing," she explains with an excited smile. Matthias stares at the paper, confused. It contains squares like Ambassador Gröndahl itches his nose and someone trips on their skirt and Embla shocks someone with descriptions of her current obsession (horror TV-series) and a parent gives their child the patented disapproving stare and someone gets too drunk and knocks over a glass. "Every time we see something on this list happen, we get to cross it off after the party! And then if we get the whole bingo card we can celebrate!"

"Celebrate with what?" Matthias asks dumbly.

Nina smirks. "Perhaps we'll shop together online for some lingerie."

That gets him on board real fast.

The other bingo card contains ridiculous phrases or words they have to try to squeeze into polite conversation.

"Why, I believe Mrs. Andersen is slaying in that dress tonight," Matthias comments to Nina and Embla while watching the dance floor. Mrs. Andersen is about 80 years old and wearing a black ensemble which might be made out of leather, but Nina keeps a surprisingly straight face at his comment, her eyes glittering. Embla in turn is choking on her champagne, eyes comically wide.

"Yes, it's giving fashion," Nina retorts, a pretty tame phrase on their third bingo card – they are going through them way too fast.

"I can't with the two of you," Embla mutters and flits away to join one of her friends.

"Are you having fun, darling?" Nina asks, and Matthias wraps an arm around his wife.

"Surprisingly, yes," he admits.

They do keep to Matthias' family's tradition to decorate a private Christmas tree. The rules are that they have to chop it down themselves in the forest edging palace grounds, and every year they manage to find an ugly and lopsided one.

It always looks crazy and colorful and beautiful with the ornaments on, though.

Matthias hangs the star but lets Embla dig through the decorations they've made through the years: pinecones painted by clumsy chubby toddler hands, paper snowflakes that he made when he was still mastering the scissors, tacky painted balls and some uneven crocheted angels Embla has contributed. Of course there's tinsel and family ornaments from years past as well, so it's quite a mess.

Nina runs back to her rooms and contributes an ugly glittering plastic avocado-ornament as well as a red ball with a picture of her family printed onto the side. Embla is ecstatic about the ugly ornament and Matthias shakes his head from the sofa while the women debate the best branch to hang it from.

His parents have already given up, enjoying a hot toddy and casually cranking up the volume on Frank Sinatra Christmas songs to drown out Embla's dictator-like commentary on tree decoration.

Matthias feels happy, at that moment. Content. In the years to come he's sure Nina will add more ugly decorations, and perhaps one day assist new chubby hands in making something for the tree.

Nina insists on making Christmas dinner themselves. She somehow gets his mother and father on board. Mother even starts reminiscing about grandpa Krister's Christmas meatballs and digs out all the old family recipes on her side. Matthias' father has always enjoyed cooking, and he cures the salmon for gravad lax and makes the potato casserole.

Matthias religiously follows a recipe for a beetroot salad, and does not mess it up too badly. Nina whips up cranberry mousse and generally cooks like there is no tomorrow. The ham ends up with a lovely mustard glaze and they'll have leftovers for a week. The table looks very different to Christmases before, no carefully plated dishes or subtle flavor combinations. Instead some dishes are a bit burnt, others too salty and some quite perfect. At least their cooks sure enjoy an extra holiday.

Embla's Christmas tarts meant for dessert sort of explode in the oven, but they all agree they taste wonderful.

Matthias gets a kiss at midnight that New Years, and he strokes Nina's cold cheek as fireworks explode above. Privately, he muses that she's been the best thing about this year.

They make new traditions as well. Nina enjoys having dinner with friends on January the first, to start off the New Year right!, she claims.

Matthias loves how well their friend groups mix, Nina's friends and siblings having flown up to meet them. He especially enjoys watching Nina in her element, playing hostess and tossing jokes around. Her brown hair meshes with Inej's black as they lean their heads together, discussing something in animated whispers.

Fedyor sidles up to him at some point, and they contemplate the starry sky outside while nursing their warming beers.

"She's really happy here," Fedyor says quietly at one point. "Just so you know."

Matthias smiles and claps him on the shoulder.

"I'm really happy she's here," he says, and they rejoin the party.

And January the second... Well, the lingerie they ordered arrives, and Matthias tackles Nina into bed and they don't end up leaving their room that day.

hii honey! i missed you and your long asks so much alskjs. i always feel bad when you stay up late for me but it also makes me so happy cause what do you mean you couldn’t stop reading?

don’t worry about it i really love writing this long asks cause i need you to feel appreciated because of your amazing writing i seriously mean it and i won’t stop saying it!!

being her would solve all of my problems (even for just one day, just the time to transfer the money, taylor, please)

exactlyyy like i only need a couple of hours as her so i can transfer me SOME of her money (not even half of her fortune i swear)

re-reading this now is so funny cause he really thought he was a genius for that adsjldslk

he really thought he did something 😭 and this reminded me of a saying/meme?/phrase we have in spanish that it’s the opposite of “you ate” which literally translates to “i wanted to inform you that you did not actually eat, in fact, you fasted, you starved yourself, your job was to kill it and you fixed it, you did not serve but you removed the plate” idk why but it is soo funny to me especially because the boy who created this had an argentinian accent and that makes it sound so much more funny (to me at least)

you going insane over him is such a mood 😔

no but did you see the clip from the fan meeting?? i am still losing my mind over it like he’s so insane for it….. (https://x.com/hyeokfs/status/1819689552992420004?s=46&t=pSPb58cQQjSKbyQAmjRu7w)

THIS! but also I was good, they didn’t have a last kiss

THANK GOD or i wouldn’t be alive rn

he’s such a loser and he has been since day one, i love when i write him like this

and i LOVE YOU for writing him like that

i didn’t know this song but you’re right this IS his song omg (and it’s so good)

IM BEGGING YOU you NEED to listen to taemin i swear he is so good i’ve been obsessed with him for years when i tell you he was my only kpop artist in my 2020 spotify wrapped i DO NOT play about him. (never gonna dance again pt. 2 changed my life forever)

renjun was my favorite character to write i need him as a best friend (special mention to yeri, my other evil baby)

yes they were like the best characters ever because they were super funny my #bestfriends

PART 2

“all i do is sit and think about you,” YOU GOT HIS ASS

no but you know what’s crazier? haechan actually recommended this song back in 2019 sjdhsjxjsk

WAIT but why does crazier fits them so well especially the start “I'd never gone with the wind, just let it flow, let it take me where it wants to go,'Til you opened the door And there's so much more, I'd never seen it before.I was trying to fly, but I couldn't find wings, but you came along and you changed everything” and “Baby, you showed me what living is for, I don't wanna hide anymore.”

STOP they are so cute and the fact that crazier fits them so well i love them so muchhh my comfort couple<3

the way I was tempted to put “so high school” in the playlist…

you should have!! it fits them soooo well

they truly are the perfect example of “dumb and dumber” but i loved writing them like this. it could’ve been a mess if they dragged it for too long or if I made it end up in unnecessary angst but i’m pretty sure i wrote the right amount of tension and “not knowing what we are” without making a mess.

YES your writing was perfect cause you “dragged” it long enough to be fun and interesting it was the perfect length to develop and show their relationship. And the "not knowing what we are without making a mess" part SO TRUE

he IS an icon and he IS the moment

we fawking miss you renjun 😭☹️😔😞😢💔

perhaps you could share…

you see, i kinda want him only for me… and it’s so crazy because i’ve been a fan of nct (haechan biased) since 2017 and i’ve always found him soo pretty and handsome but lately i look at him and he literally gets even more pretty everyday this is NOT fair i want him so bad

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I NEED TO KNOW IF AT LEAST ONE PERSON GOT IT OR I’LL GO INSANE

WERE YOU HINTING #NOREN??? i could feel the tension between them….

i fear this were the war flashback from the sour universe (tbh hits different too, but i don’t know if you read that) and now you fear when you can smell the angst around the corner lmao

the other day i was kinda sad cause i found some old stuff and i reread sour and omgg why do have to be such a good writer i was about to throw up and then kill myself because of the anger and sadness and about hits different i read the first part (cause i wasn’t active here when you published the second part) so i just need to finish the review cause i started it back then but first i need to reread it cause i don’t remember too much and i think i will read it tonight so expect to see my review of the first part soon!!! (UPDATE of when i'm editing this: i already read the first part i just need to finish the review and let me tell you one thing... YOU ARE FUCKING CRZY REBS)

i killed you 5 times already 😔

that’s when you know you’re a good writer… if i don’t want to kill myself it means your story didn’t make me feel anything

does it show this is a kink of mine? (what is the non-sexual term for kink please i don’t know)

SJDHSJXSJ YOU’RE SO REAL BECAUSE I LITERALLY LOVE THAT TOO (i don’t know how to call it maybe a liking??)

THANK GOD THEY’RE A CONSTAST STAR IN EACH OTHER’S HEART THO

OMG YES YOU’RE SO RIGHT

I’m happy you liked this cause i wasn’t sure of putting this part til like the day before i posted it jajsoasioa i know people don’t usually go crazy for this but i HAD TO make a call back to what inspired this story.

no because i always love when you include lyrics of the songs that inspired the story like in sour but i wasn’t expecting it here so this surprised me and i loved it!!! you made the correct decision

right? when they’re not at each other’s throat they work too well to not be an iconic duo, the music industry needs them. i also love the idea of that being the time where they can be more competitive, you know? i don’t know why i didn’t write that but she still writes songs so you can imagine their writing sessions didn’t change much.

i think the idea of them not losing their competitive side is so important and cute to see cause that’s how they were and how they met and how their story started so them still competing in a healthy and fun way is such a smart and lovely thing to keep!

YOU COULD’VE WAITED FOR THE REVIEW NOW I FEEL SO BAD 😭 but you know i love your comments they make me so, so happy so a bigger thank you for writing all of this when you should’ve been asleep!

noo don’t worry about it i really mean it when i say i enjoy your stories they make me feel so many things and they are super fun so they are definitely worth to stay until late🩷

honey thank YOU for sending that to me. i always wanted to write an academic rivals to lovers and you gave me the chance to write this. and i’m happy you’re happy with how i wrote it cause even if it wasn’t a request i’m always so nervous about everything i write lol. yeah adding angst would’ve been useless and i love adding angst but this time just wasn’t right. i really loved writing this so reading all of this makes me SOOOO happy i genuinely can’t explain it (if it makes you feel better i also think about all of them a lot, i hope renjun and jeno didn’t kill each other yet)

omg i also love the academics to rivals to lovers (i love the enemies to lovers trope so anything similar/related i will eat it up). nono and i can’t say it enough but i really do love your writing every time i see a new update from you i get soooo happy!!! also pray for jeno 😔🙏🏼

tbh i don’t have many good news unfortunately BUT i saw taylor live twice!!! this is literally the only highlight of my year lol because i haven’t been very lucky when it comes to work (i basically only work for free every now and then for “experience” so yeah 💀) or my love life. what about you?

oh noo :( wishing things to get better for you for the second half of the year<3 and omgg two times i’m so happy for you!!! i also saw taylor last year but i had to travel to argentina (i don’t remember if i had said it before but i’m from chile) i had SO much fun i was truly happy to see her finally after waiting for more than 12 years and honestly my show was the best one (at that time) since she sang a remix for the first time (is it over now + out of the woods) and also travis was there so she changed the lyrics to karma is the guy on the chiefs coming straight home to me. the screams for that part were INSANE and i loved every second of the concert i miss her so bad and i wish she would come to chile too:(

and about my life… here’s a little summary:

i broke up with the guy i told you about (cause i liked him but not as much as he liked me so i felt like it was unfair for him)

my thesis traumatized me so bad cause my guide teacher left me ALONE i asked him to reunite several times and he never replied so i literally did it all by myself without any revision until i finished it

i defended my thesis so i officially graduated back in february

in january i sprained my ankle SO bad that i couldn’t walk for almost two months so i spent my birthday in bed and i had to defend my thesis sitting sjdjsk

i no longer have a best friend. in fact, today is her birthday and i decided that i would wish her a happy birthday and it will also be the last time she hears from me so i’ve been kinda bummed because of that (since last year actually but that’s a long story…)

i’m going to the dream show 3 in 30 more days so i’m so excited since i bought vip + soundcheck!!

i never stopped working at the place i did my last internship so they hired me but they’re underpaying me (they’re paying me about €590… so yeah that also has me a little bit sad? tired? bored?) but i know it is my first job and lots of my friend haven’t even found a job since we graduated but idk i think it's too little for the amount of work and do + one girl who doesn't know anything earns more than twice than me just because she's friends with our superior

since i have a job i will have to call in sick the day before the dream concert so guess they’ll pay me even less this month because i will miss 3 days 😭

i’m going to see a.c.e and i bought a fan sign so i’m also super excited about that (but not my wallet rip) !!!

my graduation ceremony is in two more weeks so i’m also happy about it since i'm graduating with honors and my outfit is arriving tomorrow (and i bought the sabrina shoes? the ankle ones so pray that i don’t trip and embarrass myself)

and i think that’s all about my life sorry for the tmi about everything 😭

it’s alright i loved the ones you wrote here. also i might have to hire you for the future fics cause you think of so many good and fitting songs, they’re always perfect. sometimes i struggle and i always end up with the same ones

haha is my very useless talent but i get you sometimes i end up thinking of the same one the whole time i read a story

also while i was reading your answer i realized i had so many grammar mistakes that’s so embarrassing i should not write english texts when it’s so late and i’m sleepy so i apologize for that (it is literally 2:50 am right now) 😭

and i thinks that’s all for now, have an amazing week rebs, ily, read you very soon (as i said, by the time i edited this i already finished reading hits different part one and i'm sorry in advance...)🩷

and i will never stop thanking you!!

exactlyyy like i only need a couple of hours as her so i can transfer me SOME of her money (not even half of her fortune i swear)

no for real, i don’t need much, she probably won’t even notice something is gone

I FOUND THE VIDEO AND I’M SCREAMING i will start using this from now on

no but did you see the clip from the fan meeting?? i am still losing my mind over it like he’s so insane for it….. (https://x.com/hyeokfs/status/1819689552992420004?s=46&t=pSPb58cQQjSKbyQAmjRu7w)

he looked unreal every video that would pop up in my tl would make me want to jump off a cliff

and i LOVE YOU for writing him like that

we came a long way from sour!haechan!!! (i still remember when someone asked me if i would ever write him "not like an asshole" lmaoooo)

taemin’s like that one idol i don’t stan but love, yk? i know some of his songs, and i know he’s such a good performer but i never really got into his music. i will listen to it then!!!

PART 2

no but you know what’s crazier? haechan actually recommended this song back in 2019 sjdhsjxjsk

I DIDN’T REMEMBER IT OMG SMALSKAL

STOP they are so cute and the fact that crazier fits them so well i love them so muchhh my comfort couple<3

they really are... i will miss them a lot

the way I was tempted to put “so high school” in the playlist… you should have!! it fits them soooo well

i feel like i already put too much taylor swift everywhere, i don’t know for how long nctzens can tolerate this

this makes me happy cause these dynamics are always tricky to write so i’m glad i didn’t make a mess

we fawking miss you renjun 😭☹️😔😞😢💔

i hope he’s doing okay and i wish the worst suffering on everyone who caused him pain

no but fr he gets prettier each day, what does he drink and eat and he doesn’t even sleep or rest how is this fair

WERE YOU HINTING #NOREN??? i could feel the tension between them….

YES I WAS AJKSIOSA my babies

i’m honestly surprised i didn’t receive death threats in the asks after the sour series cause NOBODY was happy about anything in that story lmao. the second part was a mess cause tumblr sabotaged the post lmao you probably wouldn’t have seen it anyway. WHY AT NIGHT OMG STOPPPPP i don’t care you love my stories so much GET YOUR WELL DESERVED SLEEP (oh okay i hope you didn’t stay up to finish the review...)

that’s when you know you’re a good writer… if i don’t want to kill myself it means your story didn’t make me feel anything

right, i like this point of view

SJDHSJXSJ YOU’RE SO REAL BECAUSE I LITERALLY LOVE THAT TOO (i don’t know how to call it maybe a liking??)

i thought about and i think it’s probably just a soft spot, right? well i love that shit if somebody doesn’t do it for me RIGHT NOW i will die

i ate and left no crumbs (unlike donghyuck)

as a lover of this trope, i hate when they just stop, when it’s enemies to lovers it makes a bit more sense but if they have a certain personality and ARE competitive that’s not going to go away babe, just make it healthy and you’re done.

noo don’t worry about it i really mean it when i say i enjoy your stories they make me feel so many things and they are super fun so they are definitely worth to stay until late🩷

crying, shaking, throwing up, i love you

iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou

thank you, i hope that too! yeah you told me you’re from chile! same, the last time she came here was 13 years ago and this was my first time so i was so happy. i also was so lucky cause the second date she wore my favorite outfits and i was on the floor so i could see her from up close. i got “the one x wonderland” and “I almost do x the moment I knew” and then “red x mr perfectly fine” and “getaway car x out of the woods” (can’t believe we’re somehow twins of a surprise song, this is such a nice coincidence). i hope that for you, but i feel that she saw how many international fans there are and how much we love her so i feel she will add more cities next time!

i broke up with the guy i told you about (cause i liked him but not as much as he liked me so i felt like it was unfair for him)

yeah i remember about him. tbh it’s better this way, you were honest and that’s all that matters

omg not us being twins even in this cause mine did that same!! love to see it (i hope they both choke). also i don’t know how it works there but here they get paid for it, i had to pay a tax of 600€ just to do everything on my own. but you did it! i’m so so happy for you!!! what did you graduate into? (if you want to tell me ofc)

in january i sprained my ankle SO bad that i couldn’t walk for almost two months so i spent my birthday in bed and i had to defend my thesis sitting sjdjsk

omg how did you do it? are you alright now or do you still have check-ups to do?

were you friends for a long time? friendship break-ups are the worst, i’ve been there a few times, so i can imagine how you feel. did she reply? (if you want to rant, I’m here)

i’m going to the dream show 3 in 30 more days so i’m so excited since i bought vip + soundcheck!!

IF YOU DON’T COME HERE AND TELL ME EVERYTHING I WILL HAUNT YOU DOWN!!! LIKE VIP AND SOUNDCHEK!!! LET’S GO (but also, if i didn’t miss new updates, renjun won’t be there, right? why can’t you never see the 7 of them?😭😭😭)

i hate this world so much, 590 is nothing, like you can’t survive on your own. and the fact that you work more and get paid less than someone who doesn’t know how to do her job drives me insane. i hope you can find something better soon or that at least they raise your pay

since i have a job i will have to call in sick the day before the dream concert so guess they’ll pay me even less this month because i will miss 3 days 😭

it’s worth it, this time it’s worth everything. fuck the job (your wallet doesn’t agree but i don’t care rn)

i’m going to see a.c.e and i bought a fan sign so i’m also super excited about that (but not my wallet rip) !!!

YAS! you’re living your best life i’m so happy for you (i don’t know anything about them but if you want to and let me know how it was, i would love to know)

i’m sure you’ll be the pretties. did you buy a dress? (i don’t think i know what you’re talking about, i’m picturing sabrina carpenter but i don’t think i’m right…)

and i think that’s all about my life sorry for the tmi about everything 😭

nooo don’t apologize i love reading everything!!!

haha is my very useless talent but i get you sometimes i end up thinking of the same one the whole time i read a story

very useful to me actually. but also, right? like when a song gets stuck i just keep thinking about that and i can’t think of anything else for that story i hate it

i’m replying now that it’s afternoon and i’m sure there are just as many mistakes, but we have an excuse for this so it’s fine!

i always reply in the weekend i hate it here, i’m sorry if i make you wait. i will read the hits different one, not sure if i’ll reply later or tomorrow but i can’t wait!!! have a good week too!

I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret..

IMARA ! ╌ a swahili name that means "strong," "firm," and "stable," perhaps hinting at your little one's inherent strength and power in navigating life's challenges.

sixteen y/o (08) who really loves animanga and games.. maybe writing stories to run away from reality as well.

wait noww!! my primary account is @ilovelinkk want to be mutuals? just ask in my inbox!

HOLD ON ╴what does imara even likes ?

she loves animanga such as..

hunter x hunter (#1 FAV !!) , cardcaptor sakura (#2 FAV !!) , bleach (#3 FAV !!) , great priest imhotep , spy x family , clannad , kimetsu no yaiba , jujutsu kaisen , blue lock , magi the labyrinth of magic , tokyo ghoul , tokyo revengers , a sign of affection , soul eater , naruto , fire force , nanbaka , chū-2 , kirby right back at ya! , etc..

she also loves games like..

final fantasy xv (#1 FAV !!) , final fantasy vii (#2 FAV !!) , kingdom hearts 2 (#3 FAV !!) , final fantasy ix , final fantasy x , kingdom hearts 1 , kingdom hearts 358/2 days , legend of zelda: twilight princess , legend of zelda: skyward sword , legend of zelda: breath of the wild , dungeons and dragons , baldur's gate 3 , romance club , love and deepspace , wuthering waves , honkai star rail , roblox , minecraft , resident evil 2 , resident evil 3 , resident evil 4r , etc.

LETS MAYBE END IT OFF WITH SOME FACTS..

my name is imara but surprisingly, almost everyone pronounces it wrong! so everyone just calls me mara. (its pronounced as ih-mar-uh)

when you remove the " i " from my name which gives you mara, its the name of a demon, a goddess of winter, death, harvest, the underworld, witchcraft and nightmares, it also means death and bitter.. so um yay? its also literally used a curse in hsr i always think someone is calling me when i hear it LMAO

im african-trinidadian! so i live in the caribbean and speak trinidadian english creole, which is basically made up of words or phrases we made up(?) and words influenced by different countries such as china, french, spanish, other east asian countries and etc. irl but online im a whole different person aha! so sorry for grammar errors/phrases that makes no sense, its the dialect..

my birthday twin is.. yuuta(jjk) who's coinky dink my 2nd favorite character in jjk! my first is suguru, third is megumi and fourth is inumaki! my birthday is also march 7th's name so haha

i grew up with kingdom hearts, watching my brother played it at the age of 3 and also tried to eat the CD.. and also grew up with final fantasy! maybe thats why its my top fav games.. i also had a crush on ben drowned, maybe thats where my obsession for loz came from.

arcane is my favorite show, vi being my most favorite character! i also tried out league of legends bc of her, fun game! but wont recommend.. its fr hard to play and dear god the players..

imraespace came from my dungeons and dragons oc, called imrae armgo. i was really into dnd when i made this blog. one day i really wanna learn how to draw her!

vtubers, some maybe cringe but i do watch some, such as sunkenji, imkaivt(hes my fav omg), doctordeath and omi_vt. kenji, kai and doc are funny i love them while omi is oddly funny with his cooking streams. he just needs to learn how to stay clean..

idk if youve noticed the trend but im oddly into ancient egypt, seeing how ive read great priest imhotep, watched and read magi the labyrinth of magic, and kai(imkaivt) being my favorite. i didnt mention this part but in romance club, my second favorite story there is song of the crimson nile, first being kali: call of samsara(this isnt egypt, its indian). my favorite egyptian god is thoth!!

secretly into love island usa, the drama is funny esp kaylor crying.

Hi! Im trying to collect information from writeblrs about the stories everyone writes. That includes you! Yay!

If you dont mind, can you share wips, characters, blurbs, funfacts? Go nuts, im here to listen!

I apologize for not getting back to you for a little while. It took me some time to type all of this out and make sure it was somewhat concise.

Fun Facts About the Author:

I’ve been writing/telling stories for as long as I can remember.

I was obsessed with reading until I was about thirteen, when I began to get more serious about creative writing.

The franchises and books that were partial to me when I was a kid have influenced all my works, whether accidentally or on purpose. This means that if we’ve ever had a fandom in common, you will most likely know due to the way I write or the events that take place/characters I have in my works. While I’ve never directly copied a character from an existing work into one of my original ones, I tend to take a trait that I liked from the original character and tweak it, using said trait as a base for one of my characters.

Alright, onto the meat of this post. Get some popcorn and a drink, we’re going to be here for a while.

WIPS I Am Currently Editing/Working On:

The WIP With No Name

Love Corrupts Fresh Lilies

The Devoted Musician

These do not include completed WIPs, deleted WIPs, forgotten WIPs (rest in peace to those ones) or WIPs that were not originally created by me. You will not find any WIPs that someone else made the idea for that I assisted with here, as they are not my WIPs. Keep scrolling if you would like a short and mostly spoiler-free explanation of each.

Still here? Great! Welcome to the abominable mess that is my head.

The WIP With No Name

I started this WIP all the way back in high school. It’s certainly not my best work, but I was proud of it at the time.

I’ve since updated it to fit the times (and another WIP I helped with at one point), but it’s still not perfect and most likely never will be.

It has three instalments, the last of which is still unfinished. I am unsure where to take the plot, but I’m quite close to figuring it out. After I’ve officially finished all three instalments, I plan to rework it.

The cast for this series is quite large, which is one of the problems, as I cannot develop all the characters in it properly for the length that fits it best.

This series is about a young girl who finds herself to be the outcast in many places outside of school. She’s adopted and doesn’t have the best relationship with her parents (especially her father). Her cousin is jealous of her ability to summon demons better than she can. The whole demon-summoning thing starts the protagonist down a long and dark path, getting more corrupt with every being she hosts.

I do not associate any songs with this WIP.

Out of Context Blurbs:

“You thinking about your parents again?” he asked, not letting go.

“Yeah…”

“Don’t worry. I know it’s hard.”

“I know I’m adopted, but…does that really make me unwanted? Why do they never seem to have time for me? Am I that bad? Do they just want to use me for insurance or something? Did I do something?”

“Henriette!”

“Sydney, don’t tell me what to do! I’m just sharing my ideas. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s a free country, right?”

“Who taught you that phrase? You’re eight!”

“You, dingus. Remember?”

“Oh yeah. Sorry.”

“You’re going to kill me anyway. I might as well stall you for as long as I can before you kill everyone else I know too. You’re making things easier by using weapons, you know. Are they just for show, or are you more human than demon? Something seems off about you. Are you sure Henriette’s not the one in control? Besides, what’s up with these weapons? None of them make any sense to be together, unless you’re actually just somebody who runs tabletop RPGs. I mean, that’s cool with me, I did that once. Actually, it would explain a lot of things about you. You seem like the type of guy to railroad your players though, and I don’t respect that. Do you run tabletop RPGs? You should. You could, like, give your players a better experience by, like, actually showing them the areas they’re in and the monsters they’re fighting. I think it would be good for you,” Elliot babbled, not entirely sure of what he was saying anymore.

“What-”

“Yeah, if you want help getting players or setting up a story or something, I’m your guy! I’ve done this stuff before, so I can give you some help or advice, whatever you need. Don’t hesitate to ask!” Elliot grinned, inching past Hadeon and slowly backing into the hallway. Hadeon watched him as he walked by, a puzzled expression on his face.

“I-”

“WELL IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU, BYEEEEE!” Elliot shrieked as he sprinted down the hall, through the first room, and out the metal door, dropping the whip as he ran.

Love Corrupts Fresh Lilies

In other words, the “Look Ma, the WIP with a title!” one.

While there is a title, it’s only a working one. It always seemed a bit long, but it’s the one on my list that fits the story best.

I started this WIP a few years ago (can’t recall how many as of now) as a collection of poems.

I’ve been slowly turning the list of poems into a novel, and hopefully it’ll be better than my last WIP. If it’s not, I’ll throw my microwave out my window. (I won’t actually do that, I just want a WIP that’s not entirely trash. I desperately need to improve my writing skills.)

This WIP is similar to the last in terms of the protagonist and their development, but the plot is completely different. The protagonist is almost entirely forsaken by members of society and has an awful relationship with her cousin. However, instead of bringing beings from other worlds into hers, she falls into another dimension, one full of different deities. She finds love there and is slowly corrupted to her lover’s liking. How charming!

Some songs I associate with this WIP include Sway With Me by Saweetie & GALXARA, Me and the Devil by Soap&Skin, and Feed the Machine by Poor Man’s Poison.

Out of Context Blurbs:

It stung as it hit my skin. It stung even more as I felt the object reposition itself and pump my veins full of the substance I wasn’t allowed to see. I could imagine it being somewhat viscous, like thinned paint. I didn’t know what colour it was, but I thought of it as something dark and dreary, like old mauve or hunter green. Maybe even a deep plum or navy. No, navy was too unnatural. What’s navy coloured other than a boring prep school’s uniform?

I found everything I loved in that aroma. Roses. Pine trees. Tomatoes. Old books. Sawdust. Smoked gouda.

The Devoted Musician

Oh boy, this is always either the WIP I have to do the most explaining for or the one I explain the least about, for the same reason.

This WIP is one that I’ve worked on consistently for seven years. Well, I’ve worked on three of the characters for eight, but not the actual story.

This WIP is the closest to completion and takes the form of an analog horror series. A partner and I (who has asked to remain anonymous on Tumblr) are working on producing it together, though the original story is mine.

I don’t want to spoil too much, but the first instalment is up on YouTube, and for its purpose, it looks great.

This WIP follows my foolproof formula of “idiot does something stupid and pays the price for it, as does everyone else”.

There isn’t much else I can share about this WIP, as I don’t want to spoil too much (in other words, I actually am posting this entire one).

The main song I associate with this WIP is Who Is She? by I Monster.

In terms of my characters, see A Comprehensive Guide to My OCs - A Masterlist
