REMIX EXCHANGE

★Precious Pillows (Couch Cushions Remix)(Avengers Assemble, G, 1408 words)

Steve's pining is as clear as the sun is bright. It's obvious, constant, and hurts if you look at it directly. It's a wonder, really, that Tony hasn't noticed.

Or

The five times Steve attempted to make Team movie nights a thing, to debatable success. And the one time the Team helped, and everything worked out perfectly.

Remix of Couch Cushions by hollyandvice.

★No Repeated Regrets (MCU, T, 3398 words)

Natasha knows all too well the pain of locking away her feelings. Of believing that now’s not the right time, that there will always be another chance.

She also knows that she can’t let Steve make the same mistake. Not when the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance.

Remix of I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead by neverever.

REMIX RELAY

★Umpires (Marvel Adventures, T, 1489 words)

Steve and Tony have to umpire an AIM/HYDRA fight and discover something about each other.

★Magic Made Them (616, T, 1451 words)

Steve knew it was going to be a bad week when it started with Doctor Doom trying to trick Iron Man into what Stephen Strange later described to Steve as a forced magical bonding.

★Thinking of You (Remix) (MCU, T, 1171)

There is even a compilation on youtube of Tony zoned out, staring at Steve with big doe eyes while Whitney Houston plays in the background. Steve’s made him watch it a few dozen times now.

★ Armor Magic (Who is in That Armor Remix) (Avengers Assemble, T, 1220)

Tony is having a terrible day cleaning up magical pranks unless the pranksters steal Steve.

REMIX MADNESS

★Take-Backs and Do-Overs (the Five Gold Rings Remix) (Earth’s Mightiest, T, 1199 words)

As if being replaced by a Skrull didn't leave enough of a mess for Steve to clean up, apparently Tony got married while he was gone.

Remix of Can I Take Back My 'I Do'? by DepressingGreenie

i know im on hiatus but i can’t stop thinking about these trivial ranks of musical headcanons for the spencers so you’re welcome

BEST TO WORST SINGING VOICE: liz, jamie, maddie, raleigh

MOST TO LEAST LIKELY TO SING IN PUBLIC: maddie, jamie, raleigh, liz

MOST LIKELY TO GO CRAZY SINGING IN THE CAR: jamie, maddie, raleigh, liz (but, for the first three, it’s such a common occurrence that it’s basically a threeway tie. in fact, singing in the car was an activity jamie & raleigh use to do with maddie when raleigh. once getting his driver license, took them to places. and this was kinda often since this was a heavy period of robert isolating himself & liz from the others by all of the trips to dc & equestrian competitions. seeing the way the teenagers goof around made maddie giggle & was one of the very few moments jamie & raleigh could get along (for maddie’s sake), and that resonates to this day... and why maddie can’t sing.)

MOST LIKELY TO HAVE HEADPHONES: maddie, jamie, liz, raleigh

MOST LIKELY TO LISTEN ON A VINYL: liz, maddie, raleigh, jamie 

BEST AT AN INSTRUMENT: maddie, raleigh, jamie, liz (maddie is proficient at the bass & harp, but also knows how to play the piano (her first instrument), the guitar (second), drums (marching band), and ukulele while saying she ‘fiddle’ with the xylophone, cello, violin, & the banjo; she does not like any instraument she has to blow into, like brass or woodwinds. as for raleigh, he only knows how to play piano but is fairly decent at it; he plays it better than maddie, since she’s more of a jack of all trades. jamie has fool around with the guitar. and, liz knows nothing even if her dad attempted to get her to try his guitar.)

KNOWS MORE SONGS: maddie, raleigh, liz, jamie

PLAYS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND THE MOST: maddie, jamie, liz, raleigh (they’re all pretty equal here actually, besides maddie since she breathes it.)

SEEN MORE CONCERTS/GIGS: maddie, jamie, raleigh, liz (this doesn’t include maddie seeing other artists play when her band is part of the gig/festival/concert. meanwhile, for liz, she pretty much has only gone to maddie’s shows only.)

the rest is a list that im putting under a readmore... and i think i finally got liz’s music taste settled after like, a million years.

MADDIE’S TOP THREE GENRES: alternative metal, heavy rock, kpop MADDIE’S LEAST FAVORITE GENRE: country MADDIE’S MOST ASSOCIATED ARTISTS: halestorm, alice cooper, frantic amber, paramore, blackpink, metallica  MADDIE’S ARTIST SHE CANNOT STAND: she can’t tell the country artists apart tbh, so she’ll go with blake shelton here. ARTIST I ASSOCIATE WITH MADDIE: (aka when i hear songs from this artist, i think of maddie or the remaining spencers) dermont kennedy, pat benatar 

A SONG I RELATE TO MADDIE I HAVEN’T SHARED: barracuda | heart

JAMIE’S TOP THREE GENRES: pop, rap, 80s pop(?) JAMIE’S LEAST FAVORITE GENRE: folk rock JAMIE’S MOST ASSOCIATED ARTISTS: britney spears, cardi b, sza, bonnie tyler, carrie underwood... tbh his playlists are like 99% female artists. and did i mention britney spears?? JAMIE’S ARTIST HE CANNOT STAND: john denver ARTIST I ASSOCIATE WITH JAMIE: nf, ron pope

A SONG I RELATE TO JAMIE I HAVEN’T SHARED: drunk face | mgk

ELIZABETH’S TOP THREE GENRES: indie, punk rock, classic country ELIZABETH’S LEAST FAVORITE GENRE: ??? ELIZABETH’S MOST ASSOCIATED ARTISTS: johnny cash, p!atd, stevie nicks, fiona apple, dolly parton, mcr, john denver, her sister :( ELIZABETH’S ARTIST SHE CANNOT STAND: justin bieber  ARTIST I ASSOCIATE WITH ELIZABETH: nancy sinatra, taylor swift & no longer ironically at this point

A SONG I RELATE TO ELIZABETH I HAVEN’T SHARED: king of anything | sara bareilles

RALEIGH’S TOP THREE GENRES: classical/instrumental, soul, soft rock RALEIGH’S LEAST FAVORITE GENRE: country RALEIGH’S MOST ASSOCIATED ARTISTS: bill withers, john williams, whitney houston, the fray, louis armstrong, the temptations, yiruma, elton john, the piano guys RALEIGH’S ARTIST HE CANNOT STAND: probably blake shelton too ARTIST I ASSOCIATE WITH RALEIGH: regina spektor, ben platt

A SONG I RELATE TO RALEIGH I HAVEN’T SHARED: the science love song | asapscience and im sorry considering raleigh would be the most likely to play embarrassing songs rip

Girl put your records on

Thoughts and memories and ideas and arguments jangling around my brain

On Friday, June 24 (2022) the supreme court in the usa changed the law about a person's right to get an abortion. An abortion is a medical procedure where you can end a pregnancy. My mom got one after she had me. She told me about this for the very first time this past winter. A few days after she told me, she said something about me offhandedly – "oh, but you. i think about you as my middle child" – and I've been thinking about all this a lot lately. On June 20 (2022) Beyonce released "Break my Soul" and it got on the radio on June 27. For days I read a lot of tweets about these two topics, and felt so many thoughts and memories jangling in my brain.

Girl, put your records on

It can be difficult to choose what music to listen to. I must have had a dream with Chaka Khan's 1978 song "I'm Every Woman" in it because one morning two weeks ago I typed in "Im every woman" in my spotify search bar. I clicked on a playlist with that title, stylized as IM EVERY WOMAN. It's a really good playlist, by user julianikolae. It has 5,887 likes and is 8 hours and 51 min long. It starts with Chaka, Gloria Gaynor, Aretha Franklin, and Donna Summer, and travels widely.

The skips are:

"Senorita" and "Rock Your Body" Justin Timberlake

"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" by Michael Jackson

"Damaged" by Danity Kane

I'm sure everyone has a song they'll like from this selection of nearly 9 hours of music. There's plenty that will intrigue you, make you wonder, and you will find different sections that you particularly enjoy, and sometimes you will chance it and put it on shuffle. 

It has been good to listen to Donna Summer during these first few weeks of summer. Anna Nalick sings "Winter just wasn't my season" on 2 AM (Breathe); I agree. My mom loves Annie Lennox and always reminisces when she hears her voice. Whitney Houston is from New Jersey, and I've noticed a lot of Indian people i know who live here don't know that, so I like to mention it. She sings "I'm asking you / what you know about these things" in "How Will I Know" and I love that detail. When "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado comes I have an instant flashback to my youth, but how did I miss her song "Maneater" at the time? Thankfully I can catch up now. 

I'm not here at all to rank or sort, or claim "quality" and "genre," I'm here to listen, as is best with any group of women. It's not exhaustive, its not supposed to be, its maximal (opposite of minimal). who decided that "senior superlative" awards were a beloved USA high school tradition?

Maximalism

Obviously I'm thinking about feminism and women's work and having babies, and not having babies. Just like my mom never told me that she had an abortion, I still haven't told her that I've taken plan B four times. 

I got my plan B easily from the Walgreens on Telegraph two of those times, and i kept it pushing, I went to work and parties and protests and pickets and meetings and my lovers apartments. 

My mom doesn't know I took plan B because she doesn't know that I have sex, which is fine, she doesn't need to know about that. It's ok. I know how to fight, I know how to work in groups. I am not poor, my mom is not poor. Which is a big part of the reason she got an abortion and forgot about it. 

My perspective and awareness of abortions and reproductive justice really changed when I befriended a sex worker and met her friends and started fundraising on their behalf among my friends and family members. Feminism took on a new meaning for me in general; it was an important strand of analysis when convincing people to share their financial resources. And as analysis works, you see things newly, you peel back the layers of your own lived reality. I am my mother's middle child, actually; I had never known.

More recently, I am learning actively about caste and talking about it in my community. I am re-discovering that I am gendered, I am having better and better sex. 

I'm every woman / its all in me

Whitney says those lines again in 1992. Ariana Grande says the second line in her 2018 song "God is a woman."

 "It's all in me." 

last but not leastly, Fuck TERFS

the greatest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me

I wish there was a word more hard hitting than heart ache. Because it hits that hard… punches you in the gut, kicks you while your down, and absolutely knocks the wind out of you. My heart is throbbing in my chest and im beginning to wonder if there are any legitimate medical conditions associated with being heartbroken. You never crave solace more than when you know you absolutely will not and cannot have it. I wonder how long it will be… until I feel at peace again. Its always hard to tell in situations like these.

I remember being in 7th grade and thinking I was hot shit because I would get on AIM after school and message boys safely behind a computer screen into the wee hours of the night. I remember a girl at my school broke up with her boyrfriend and there was talk of how sad she was. Some people said she cried when she did it. I remember being absolutely unable to wrap my head around the idea that, if you broke up with someone, you could be sad about it. You weren’t the one who just got dumped? What gave you, the heartbreaker, the right to cry over something that you chose to do? unfathomable. Even now, I can’t find the right words for how strongly I felt about the whole situation. Although, now I do understand how she cried when she broke up with her boyfriend during the passing period between P.E. and social studies.

The heartbreakee (so to speak) obviously would be sad….well… typically. But maybe not. you would think they would be the sad one. The saddest one, even.

But I’ve come to find that the heartbreaker, the one who does the breaking up, typically has/is experiencing a heartbreak so painful that the only thing left to do is leave.

I’ve never broken up with someone before, well, until now. Someone who I love with ever fiber of my being. I never loved someone the way I love him. When I read poetry, I day dream of him and when I see elderly couples holding hands and sharing dessert I think “I have that kind of love too” Even now, I type in the present tense… because my heart feels stuck to his. (How do you even do that? Detach? Become and individual again?)

Theres a lot of reasons you break up with someone, I think. There has to be or else you would never do it. Afterall, its safer to stay with someone you don’t love than to be all alone. None of my reasons are that I didn’t love him anymore though. Maybe I loved him too much, and thats why it feels like someones sitting on my chest every time I inhale. I always try to write it all out, when I feel this much pain. I feel like its the only thing you can do. besides surf the web for techniques on “how not to cry” and “how to know if you shouldn’t have broken up with someone”. The uncertainty really gets me. I love this person and I know they’re good and I know they love me! But is that greater than all of the other reasons that led me to just blurt out the end of our relationship? I don’t know. I really don’t. And I know I’ve said it a million times but it hurts so fucking bad. I’ve been doing these horrible breathing techniques to slow my crying. But my mind wanders to him and my heart yells out to my cerebrum to open the flood gates. Crying swells my face and clogs my nose. It empties my heart and drains me of any energy. But its all I can do. Its all I can do right now.

Theres two things making me feel better in the heat of this moment and im going to share them so maybe they can make you feel better too. Whenever I feel dark and gloomy I always think of the scales, of the balance of the world, off the yin and the yang. When I feel so low that I think I could be sadder than any of the 7 billion people in the world, I think theres someone thats so high, they think they could be the happiest out of the 7 billion. And it makes me feel so good, even if its just for a second. Its someones wedding day, someone got their dream job, someones baby was born. For the lowest low, theres a highest high.

The other thing is the song from the cinderella with brandy and Whitney Houston. Even though the movie as a whole could probably move mountains, the song “the sweetest sounds” is my favorite part. ill leave you with my two favorite lyrics: “The kindest words ill ever know are waiting to be said” “and the dearest love in all the world, is waiting somewhere for me”

Love hurts sometimes. I always feel the need to spew out what ails me and share my hurt so I can validate my pain. To feel like this mess matters, this chaos counts.
