Pile 1: Show Stunnah 🌻

Overall Tarot Card: The Devil 😈

Channelled Song: Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson

⛽ The gasssss on you is....⛽

🚨🚨ALARMS GOING OFF. YOU SHUTTING THIS SHIT DOWNNNN. LESSSGOOOO 🚨🚨

First of all, you muthafucka's is FINE as hell! I'm talking about FOIIINNEEEE as hell. Body on fleek, face card never declines. As soon as you walk into the room, all eyes are on you and all your competition starts to die a little inside 😂 You are the talk of the town, the talk of every circle, babbyyy 🤤 But y'all been knew dat, 😏

"BEEN that bitch, still that bitch" - Megan The Stallion

Natural beauty with the confidence to match

Confidence of a lion(ess)

Honestly, physically, you got it muthafuckin' going on dawg, what the fuckkkkk. Out of all the piles, this one wins in the Looks Department LOL sorry to the other piles

I'm seeing a face that is so fucking beautiful and angelic. Forever youthful.

Your beauty never dies and it never ages.

I have this huge urge to gasp in awe! You make people gasp with your beauty, ermagerrrdddd this is too cute! I feel like I'm melting in your presence 🫠. It's like everytime people see you in person, you take their breathe away and all they can do is gasp in awe at your undeniable beauty 😂😂😂 it's so fucking corny bro, but damn. That was a channelled message for someone's fine ass out there. You got it like that Mami/Papi, *snap snap snap*

A literal fucking goddess/god. Like you make men want to turn all romantic and old school, writing poems and singing outside your window in the middle of a full moon & shiiit. Or for my men, you make a girl wanna break all her rules and go buck wild for you!!! Like this shit crazzzyyy!! But this is what you be doing to these people lmaoooo!

I'm sure you're a great person on the inside and all, but there is so much emphasis on your physique that I apologize if you feel exploited right now 😂😂 and tbh, you might know the effects your body causes on people so you might be a person with strong boundaries. But damn Papi, what dat body do? 😏

With the devil card crowning your reading, people are OBSESSED WITH YOU!!! Bitch, who tf are you? Why is everyone so fucking obsessed with yo ass!? Lmao

"I can do bad all by myself." You're very independent but you may have many friends too.

Imma just say it flat out: YOU GOT THAT GOOD WAP BABYYYYYY. THAT GOOD WOOD, ya know what I'm sayin' 😂 rumor has it, you can fucking werkkkk it. You got people THIRSTY AF out here, mayneee. Chilllllllll.

You got this hella chill vibe to you though. Like laid-back. Relaxed. Not about the shits or the drama. People can try to ruffle your feathers to get any type of reaction out of you but you stay unbothered AF and that's what draws them nearer to you.

You have a gift for social interactions. Most people have social anxiety but you maneuver and work the room with ease and calmness. It's very admirable.

So many people want to marry you dude, I'm not even kidding. But I'm sensing that you are just focused on yourself and your goals. Relationship isn't a priority in your life right now. But that also is what turns the thirst factor UP when it comes to you.

SEXY, SEXY, SEXY, SEXY, SEXXXXX-Y.

Rich girl, city girl, material gworl vibes

"You always got dem eyes on you" - people love to watch you and stare at you. Sometimes people zone out in conversation with you because your beauty distracts them 😂 you could be talking to them in perfect pronunciation and speed but they won't hear a damn thing you said lol I guess your beauty is deafening too 😂

As beautiful and as sexy as you are, you also have a tender kindness when you interact with anybody. Your beauty shines both inside and out and that's why you are the mf GOAT.

You turn heads every where you go. You got bitches jealous wishing they was you. Ermahgerrrddd, I'm getting a rush of energy from tons of people who fantasize about what it would be like if they had your life. Honestly, that sounds like I'm over hyping y'all, but it's the truth lol. Maybe knowing this information will help you see the beauty of your own life and appreciate it for what it is. Because from folks looking on the outside into your life, they would literally trade spots with you in a heartbeat. Heck, they are already doing it in their daydreams. Recognize that YOU ARE THAT BITCH.

You may come from a great family life. Or people think you come from a super good looking family judging based off of your looks alone lol

A lot of people want to be tied to you in some way. People feel that being connected to you gives them "brownie points" in popularity 😂😂 some people may try to befriend you for clout. I'm not even getting social media vibes, although y'all may be big on social media too. But I'm sensing like real life clout, which is ten times better than social media clout, ya feel me. It's almost like knowing you in real life makes people feel more important in real life.

Y'all are the IT GIRL/ IT BOY. Everyone wanna be you, do the things you do, talk like you, walk like you, fucking everyfannnggg!!! I cannot with y'all. You guys are unreal but thats why we are so fucking obsessed with you, booo. Keep doing you and keep being you 🌻

Pile 2 - Cutie Pie 🥧

Overall Tarot Card: Ace of Cups

Channelled Song: My Bestie by Lloyd ft Sevyn

⛽ The gasssss on you is.....⛽

🍯🍯CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE CUTEST FUCKING THING EVER 🍯🍯

Everyone wants to hug you, squeeze you, love on you. Stick you in their pocket and take you home. This vibe is so mushy and gooey!

Everybody's little sister. You provoke a very protective spirit in those around you and those close to you. You are looked at as something that needs to be protected at all costs.

I dunno what it is about you but people will go to bat for you no matter the situation or the time. If ever you are in trouble, you have a whole gang of people who you can count on to drop what they are doing and prioritize you. Even if they are pissed off at you, they would lay their differences to the side and come to your rescue.

You make people feel very emotional when it comes to even just the thought of you. You are so special to people I don't think you realize that!

You are that person in people's lives that they cannot imagine ever losing. Like an angel in disguise who needs to be protected from this cruel world.

You attract friends like flies!!!!! This pile is SOOOOOOO popular and you don't even have to try. You could actually be a more introverted and reserved person but constantly have a crowd of people with you.

Sooooo warm and soft. Feels like I'm sinking in an ocean of really warm honey. That's how you make people feel.

People LOVE hugging you, cuddling you, and feeling you. Your presence is very calming and motherly.

You have great motherly instincts and people trust you with their children and animals. Kids might naturally flock to you and easily trust you because of your kind nature.

You may only consider a small group of people as friends but there are so many people who consider you as one of their best friends. You may make some friends jealous because they envisioned some type of exclusive friendship with you. However, a lot of people need you in their life and so that's something they need to come to terms with.

A lot of people feel like they can confide in you with confidential matters, knowing it will be kept safe. You also give really great advice that helps people progress further on their life path.

You are a very necessary presence in many peoples life stories. If every human soul had a book about their life, there would be at least one chapter about you in multiple life books. While most people are only focused on writing their own book, they are scarcely mentioned in other stories. But you, you are very necessary in the development of other people's life journeys. Like you make an impact on their story for the better. Wowwwww. I can only imagine that this role comes with a lot of positive karma for you and your generations to come.

You beautify every place you enter, every floor you walk on, and every person you meet. You are a contagious ray of light that shines everywhere you go even in the darkest of places.

You very rarely compete or get jealous of people and that's why many consider you to be their best friend. They feel completely free to be themselves around you with no judgement, guilt or shame.

You are unapologetically yourself and it's a big turn on for the opposite sex.

Many people wish they could possess your unapologetic nature but they are realizing it is a lot harder to mimic than they thought.

"I walk like this cuz I can back it up. I got a big ego" -Beyonce

You been through a lot and it shows through how sweet and caring you are. And because you put out that energy, people wanna love you the same way in return.

You really tug at people's heart strings when they think of you. I'm hearing "a heart of gold and titanium". So valuable and indestructible.

You have been placed on this throne by a lot of people. Very very respected and admired. I'm hearing you proved yourself. Your true colors shown and they worked in your favor.

An example for others to follow

A true royal

SELF-CONTROL, SELF-CONTROL, SELF-CONTROL. You have so much self control and people are both envious and admiring that trait of yours. "The one with the most control over themselves is the one with the most power in the room."

You might be a very adaptable person. You literally can chop it up with anybody you want! No personality is too hard for you to adapt to.

You have such a knack for resolving conflict. You can de-escalate any situation with your soft spoken voice and level-headedness. Things always run smoother when you are around.

People take you seriously and really listen when you speak. You may not vocalize your opinions as often as others, but when you finally do, it shocks people, so they listen.

A deep well of wisdom.

Honorable. Highly respected. Highly trusted.

Pile 3 - LEGEND ⚜️

Overall Tarot Card: 8 of Pentacles

Channelled Song: One Call Away by Bina Butta

⛽ The gasssss on you is.....⛽

🥶🥶 YOU OUT HERE GIVING US THE SHIVERS WITH YO ICY FINE ASS 🥶🥶

BOSS BITCHHHHH. I see you focused on that bag and getting that bag!!! If you chose this pile, YOU LOOK LIKE MONEY, HUNNY 🤑

"came through drippin *drip drip*"

You are a hard ass worker. I'm getting strong energy coming from the workplace you work at. You got a lot of people dumbfounded at your work ethic. For some reason, I'm getting that they didn't think you were going to be the type of worker that you are.

You may be known as someone who bosses up every time you experience a hardship in life. It's actually pretty phenomenal to watch.

Phoenix rising from the ashes.

You are that one character in a movie story that never dies 😂 it's like no matter how many battles you fight, you never fucking die lol it's annoying to your haters but so inspiring to those who witness this inner strength of yours.

You are a LEGEND! Some people think that your life experiences are too good to be true. But they just ain't ever met nobody like you before thats why. I'm hearing that behind your back people try to investigate the validity of your story just to be humbled when they find witnesses who retell the same story.

People want to know the depths of your life experience. I'm getting that people view you kind of like Indiana Jones who is well travelled with many stories and adventures to tell for many days.

You inspire people to think outside of the box. To want more for themselves and be open to newer opportunities that can make them feel free and alive again. You make them want to explore life again.

You walk around like a large ball of life force energy. Anything within a 5 foot radius of you starts to be influenced by your vibration.

A lot of people speak about you!!! A lot of people have your name in their mouth. It's very positive though. I'm hearing a lot of praise, chanting your name. Celebrating you!

I sense you might be hermit mode or really just focusing on yourself. People can see the changes that are happening through your physical appearance . Your hardwork and focus shines through your countenance.

You have a lot more people who support and love you. Im feeling that for this pile, the support isn't as apparent as it was for Group 2. I'm feeling like this pile stands alone with lots of silent supporters. Something about you being very intimidating or being closed off to a connection is what's blocking people from showing their support but it's like they understand why you are closed off and respect your boundaries.

People feel like you are going very far in life and will hit it big in the future. They want to see you win and are silently watching until then.

The way you carry yourself is top notch alpha type vibes. Specifically for my feminines, this is so sexy about you. You carry this masculine energy in such a sexy feminine way it intimidates and submits even the strongest of men. Very BAWS BOSS like.

RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 🦁

BOSS, BOSS, BOSS, BAWSSSYYYYYY

"Dat ass, dat ass, dat ass, dat ass" 🤨🤨okaaayyyy, someone clearly has a nice juicy ass that needs to be pointed out 🤷🏾‍♀️

You must have a very strong presence in your work place because the energy keeps taking me to a work environment. Either that or you think about work all the time 😂 you really are such an independent woman. Some may call it hyper independent but do you honey. Set the standard as high as you want. Don't let their intimidated ass opinion shrink you 😉

Maybe you own a lot of businesses or aspire to own your own business. People see the potential for you. But I'm getting indecisive energy. You are probably really talented at SOOO many things and are weighing out your options. However, you know that once you have made your decision, there is no stopping you from reaching the top. Everyone else knows it too and that's why they are silently watching you.

You are a rare human. You have an imagination that is so active. Anything you imagine, you create in this world. You were probably a very imaginative kid and highly active. With how hard you work coupled with your crazy active imagination, you actually have the power to manifest whatever you want into existence. Maybe you are aware of that. Maybe you aren't. But channelling this energy feels very magnetic and strong. Keep your imaginations alive. Keep your dreams alive. Chase them.

People wonder how you gained such a bright imagination. They wish they could have that light that you have. You heal a lot of people's inner child by giving them experiences to exercise their imagination. Maybe you enjoy conversations about the trendy things from people's childhoods or you like to talk about the future a lot. You spark creativity and imagination for people and it gives them motivation for life again.

You lead by example. Lots of people are out here running they mouth but you stay steady on your grind proving your worth through your life.

You have silent supporters because you are a silent leader. You don't do much talking. You just do the damn thing and later on people find out what you did and are completely shocked.

You are a bombshell. Not only do you look great but you're like a ticking time bomb in people's minds. You constantly have people stewing over you and then boom, you do something that blows everybody's minds lol. I like this vibe. Very spontaneous and fun to be around

[skyeknight-oneshots]

Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu, Luigi!

"This one is for my one and only true love... Luigi."

Luigi blushed, eyes going wide at the side lines.

"Lu, you're so cool... And with my cum, you're gonna be so full.

Lu, after this song, Imma love ya all night loooong~"

Now, Luigi's blush intensified and his jaw dropped at the choice of lyrics. He pulled his hat down, embarrassed beyond belief.

Mario was starting to seethe.

Donkey tried to offer him food to help him relax, but he refused it.

Princess Peach raised a brow, pretty certain that wasn't how the lyrics should go... Or how this scene should be going, actually.

"Ooh, Lu, Lu, Lu, my sweetest Lu,

Oo, oo, oh~ Lu, Lu, Lu ooh~

I love you, ooh!

Ooh, Lu, Lu, Lu, my sweetest Lu,

Oo, oo, oh~ Lu, oh~ Luigi!

I love you!"

"That's it!" Mario grumbled as he swallowed a red mushroom before storming into the scene. "Let's-a go!"

At that same time, the director yelled "cut", sounding more tired than angry.

"Hm, I wonder if he's trying to a bunch of cuts for gag reel." Princess Peach as she took a sip of tea, staying behind the scenes as her boyfriend tried smashing Bowser.

DK shrugged, munching on several bananas at once. "Bet he's just doing it on purpose at this point." he mused, as Luigi charged into the scene to pacify things between his brother and boyfriend... for the umpteenth time. "Think we're all going home late tonight."

"STOP SINGING ABOUT HOW YOU'RE DEFILING MY BROTHER!"

"Mario, stop trying to throw Bowsie to the next the galaxy!"

"Not until he stops singing about you that way!"

Bowser didn't stop, even without music accompaniment as he's no longer within reach of the piano.

"Mario, Princess Peach, and Donkey Kong too

Notta single one of 'em could hold a candle to you..."

The aforementioned princess and prince looked indignant at that.

"You'll be my man to the end of the time

Mario can suck it cause you're forever mine, oh~

Ooh, Lu, Lu, Lu, my sweetest Lu,

Oo, oo, oh~ Lu, Lu, Lu ooh~

I love you, ooh!

Ooh, Lu, Lu, Lu, my sweetest Lu,

Oo, oo, oh~ Lu, oh~ Luigi!

I'm gonna fuck you!"

"DAMN IT, I'M-A KILL HIM!"

"Mario, no!"

"Mario, yes!" Mario grumbled, still struggling in his brother's grip. He could power through since he ate the mushroom, but he didn't want to hurt Luigi by accident. "WHERE'S THE SUPER STAR!"

"NO, THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP REPLACING!" The director runs away with the star.

Princess Peach hummed, "Late night it is."

JM Like crazy - my crazy thoughts

First of all, stream stream stream.

Now, let's talk about Like crazy a little.

I'm trying to soak it all in, so I will probably miss some stuff, but I'll give it a try.

The visuals are incredible, no doubt.

And the message is there, a little hidden, a little double twisted, so to speak, because I see what people are throwing out there. All heteronormative and all.

But peeps (gosh, I've been loving using that word lately), I see so much more than a man and a woman, that don't interact, did you notice that part all of you that are saying he's going in to kiss her. Like where the hell did you get that idea from?

I'm not going to do a second by second breakdown of the clip but I'm going to leave you with a few of my thoughts.

Oh, and so fucking what if he starts it out with "she"...does that mean the song is about a her? I really really don't think so. But I'll get to that.

This is a good explanation about the she:

Dropping this pic here too...

Oh, and I don't remember, did I say the English lyrics are different than the Korean. Imma gonna talk about the Korean, cause they're the ones that are on the clip, not to mention they are more telling, in my opinion.

Ok then, let's get going...

JM in the club.

Standing alone.

Zoom in on the eye then zoom out, flashback Serendipity. And why do I say Serendipity you ask? Well, because, you'll see ya'll. Stop being so impatient.

When he's singing:

"She's saying: Baby, don't think about it There's not a bad thing here tonight..."

The room is clean.

It goes on:

"baby it's fine if you leave, stay with me just for today" - room turns muddy, dirty.

That's where I feel the quote ends.

The she explained above makes so much sense in this context.

He continues with

"watch me go keep me drenched all night (away), so that morning gets drunk and never comes..."

I'm getting used to it

Did I come too far to find the me you used to know?

Yeah I know

You know

I know

I'd rather be...

Something look familiar?

Perhaps certain "I know you know I know" lyrics?

He is running into that bar/club and he's alone, he's drinking, he's 'having fun', but at the same time he's not, and when he's dancing and making contact with another, he has his arm around another guy.

This

Him walking against the stream, looked at, perhaps judged, and singing

I'd rather be lost in the lights I'm outta my mind

Please hold onto the end of the night...

walls closing in on him (hallway narrower than it was a second ago).

Now this part in the lyrics.

Nah, I will not accept any other interpretation (though I know there are hundreds of them), but nope, this is mine and I'm sticking with it:

Each night

you spin me up high

(psss...the dirt again people)

the moon embraces you

Let me have a taste

Give me a good ride

Ooh, surprise a queer couple...

Oh, and the colours...do we have gold/yellow and purple?

We have people making out, not JM. JM is by himself. It adds to the feeling of loneliness.

He's singing

forever you and I', but he's standing alone...

Then the bathroom scene.

Again he's alone.

I'm going endlessly crazy

I'd rather be lost in the lights

I'm outta my mind

(bathroom walls coming apart, leaving him standing alone...

Each night

You spin me up high

The moon embraces me

Let me have a taste

All while he's here:

Yes, he's 'showcasing' a hetero couple, but once again he's standing or sitting on that screen alone.

We have a hetero couple shown all while he's singing about what he'd rather be doing...

Then again, repeats the "give me a good ride", again standing alone in the crowd.

It's gonna be a good night

(oh I'm falling)

Forever you and I

No don't you wake me

I wanna stay in this dream, don't save me

I need a way we

I need a way we can dream on

Euphoria vibes much?

"Won't you please stay in my dreams, yeah...

Even if the earth crumbles No matter who shakes this world Don't let go of my hand Please don't wake me up from this dream"

Pausing one second here, crying a little.

Moving on...

He walks back into the room, on the way he's leaving muddy footprints, the room is dirty, muddy, his hands smeared with mud, which he spreads on the screen.

Yeah, every single work I say here can be total crap.

But it can also be all true. I certainly feel like it is.

There are too many references. Coincidences once again?

I don't think so.

Oh, and there's this:

That's it for now folks.

If I have more thoughts on the matter, I'll definitley come back.

This is me writing a few crazy thoughts after watching Like crazy a few times.

Go stream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[what-have-i-unleashed]

unhinged unimportant rant about echo by crusher

long ass post about a song no one care probably, so imma put in under the cut. also these are my unorganized thoughts with no background in music theory/production sorry. however i will encourage you guys to listen to peak music 🗣️🗣️🗣️

the thing with the readmission remix is how much it is changed from the original, especially the format of it. so in the the original version, the format of the song is:

lyrical verse -> pre-chorus -> chorus -> instrumental verse -> bridge -> final chorus -> outro

but in the remix it goes like:

new instrumental verse -> chorus -> instrumental verse -> bridge -> pre-chorus -> final chorus -> outro

the remix completely cuts out the lyrical verse, which i find interesting thematically.

what's the lyrical verse? it's this:

The clock stopped ticking forever ago How long have I been up? I don't know! I can't get a grip, but I can't let go There wasn't anything to hold onto, though

in my opinion, the remix can be seen as either the sequel to the original or a reinterpretation, or maybe it's both - depends on how you see it. the way the original is formatted is that it has a classic traditional song format at first (verse - pre-chorus - chorus) and then it hits you with an instrumental verse. the remix completely messes that up by giving you a whole instrumental verse before the chorus hits and you wonder "wait where's the verse? why are we at the chorus now?". there's not lyrical verse! and the pre-chorus has been moved to the final chorus, which changes the whole vibes and story of the song! interestingly, the pre-chorus is also changed!

the pre-chorus in the original:

Why can't I see? Why can't I see? All the colors that you see? Please can I be? Please can I be? Colorful and free?

the pre-chorus in the remix:

Why can't I see? Why can't I see? All the colors that you see? Please can I be? Please can I be? The echo in the mirror?

i'm of two minds about this. it's either:

a) the "you" here is someone other than the echo. in that case, the original wishes to be "colorful and free" - free from a problem they perceive that makes their life miserable and lifeless. however, i think this interpretation, while valid, is kinda incongruent with the changed lyrics in the remix. so...

b) the "you" here is the echo in the mirror, which also makes sense. if you see the music videos, it's obvious why they're in black and white. the meaning behind the black and white color scheme and theme might be interpreted in different ways too. but it pretty much implies that the echo (from the other side, maybe?) can see colors (also a symbolism for different things depending on interpretation) and that's why the singer is envious of them and yearning for the same abilities.

the bridge is also changed - not lyrics though. in the original, there's this cool delay overlay effect where it seems like there's someone - some voice - is repeating what the singer says. like two beings, one copying another, like an echo. but in the end, the voice finally sings in tandem with the singer, supporting them, before both of them blends into this cacophony of singing voices. it's a really cool choice i think, because it feels like the whole song has been building up to that point where the echo becomes one with the singer. It's about fighting something within you, and you eventually become that thing you wish to fight against. you and the echo are one. at least that's my interpretation of it anyway.

but in the remix, the accompanying voices are gone, and there's only one voice singing. which i take to mean that, in the sense that this is a sequel, that the harmonization/amalgamation has been completed. there's that sense of stability that is free of haunting voices.

additionally, i don't know why but the original version (both music and song) is very much vhs/television coded, with the grain, the noise, the snow, and the vhs sounds. black-and-white can mean the envy of being left behind as a relic of the past, of being stuck in black-and-white while your "echo" - your better version - is moving to color.

(but also the popular interpretation is about bpd and/or did, which i think is also highly valid, considering how the lyrics mirror and resonate with people from the community! "i'm black, then i'm white // no! something isn't right" can be read as that!)

meanwhile, the remix has a distinctly... video game feel to it? the beginning is very glitchcore and noise music in my opinion. also it just sounds like something that would be played in a high-action video game. i think the contrast is what makes me have a specific interpretation for this songs.

the original is about fighting your demons and struggling to maintain your identity. there's waves to this song - the ups and the downs. the instrumental verse is especially interesting especially when you watch the music video. there's the ":)" parts and then there's the ":(" parts. there's that feeling of quickly swinging from one mood to another. of watching other people (the eyes) to see how they perceive you (there's that theme of mirror again). there's the gleeful manic high and the short briefs of unsatisfied lows. the bridge ("i'm gonna burn my house down") feels like this obsessive intrusive thoughts that keep haunting the singer. i feel it's about self-destruction, as the singer slowly gives into the temptation to burn bridges with other people and discard their own safety.

the remix has a consistently manic and high-energy feel to it, as if the singer is enjoying the destruction, maybe of themself and other people also. there are no eyes, only a screen showing many clips playing as if the singer has become the observer instead of the observed. the ":(" are no more in the instrumental verse. as the singer sings in the bridge, there are no voices overlapping with them except for in the end:

I'm gonna burn my house down And never look back (Look back) And n-n-never look back (Look back) And never look back (Look back)

the voices are telling them to "look back", instead of encouraging them to "never look back" like in the original. this is interesting, since i kinda take it as this is not the voice of self-destruction, but of their past self being guilty and wishing to make things different in the past. this melancholic part leads right into the pre-chorus before the final chorus. i would argue that the pre-chorus becomes the emotional low point in the song. there's that envy, that guilt, that longing. but they're unable to act on those feelings, because we're right back to the high-energy music after this.

all in all, very interesting choices all around for the remix.

[meeeeeeeep78]

I don’t think any song takes you an an emotional rollercoaster quite like Kotoki Taiga’s Caucasian Destination does. 

before the song even begins, the tension is palpable.

Imagine you have a dream. a dream so big and powerful that it’s shaped who you are since a very young age. A dream inspired by three people that you’ve looked up to forever. Your father, your uncle, and your aunt. The latter two may not technically be your parents by blood, but by blood only. They’ve helped raise you every step of the way, and taught you everything they know to help you achieve your dream. You’ve loved them since you were old enough to know how to love, and they’ve loved you right back, indiscriminately. Now imagine that one of these people, who you thought had moved away, has been dead for years, and nobody told you all this time. you were young when she left of course, but even your father kept it from you, when she was like an incredible older sister to you. That the event that sparked your driving force, your dream, was actually a swan song for her, so she could go out with a bang, doing what she loved. Your uncle stands in front of you, resurfacing these memories himself as he finally tells you and your group the truth. All of you express your grief the only way you know how. You sing with all your might, with all your passion, for your aunt and for your dream. Your uncle responds, old loss exposing new wounds, with the only song that could appropriately convey his mess of emotions right now.

Heyyyy yeah

Hey yeeeeeaaaahhh

This is where you are caucasian 

destination falling

Heyyyy yeah

You’ll stop the keyboard come shop patchy

flash in the stars blow myself through

life in deeper when it’s in  it’s domination

(you’ll hear my song)

(you know it’s like that to me)

(how about then lower count me)

(imma call it now)

(it’s time to throw my furb!)

[repeat chorus]

You and your group, who’ve practiced countless hours, all striving together for your shared dream, lose to your uncle, one of the people who put on the original event that sparked your goal. This would be somewhat conceivable if he didn’t just sing whatever that was. To anyone who understands english, any seriousness of the moment went out the window, transformed into anything between concern, confusion, or disgust within 9 words, and then leaned more heavily in to confusion as time went on, potentially ending in laughter, maybe beginning at the end of the bridge.

tldr: incredibley serious and tense moment is ruined by a gong show of an attempt to have a cool song in another language.

[the-lesbian-orpheus]

Um okay first I was hyped because YAY NEW CRANE WIVES SONG MY FAVORITE BAND

But now

Epik High — “On My Way” English lyrics

The official English translation can be found in the CC subtitles of the visualizer. Mine is, in places, more of a word-for-word translation of the Korean.

I’m on my way. I’m on my villain arc.

Imma need you to shut up for a minute. Zip it up. Did you want to hurt my feelings? Just my ears hurt. I don’t need your love. Hate me, I don’t give a fuck. Cuz I’ll be on my… Gimme some applause, an ovation. Okay, now I’ll leave. Thinking it was a door, I knock-knocked on the wall. I’ll wave my bloodied hand and go, Singing, I’ll be on my way.

Okay, they say if I don’t start by changing myself, the world won’t change. I dunno, in the end, only I changed, and the world—unchanged—points fingers at me. I hear them say,

“I hate the way that you talk. I hate the way that you are.” Okay, baby, I’ll be on my way. You hate the way that we are. (I’m on my way.) I miss the way that we were. (I’m on my way.) Just call, and you know I’m on my way.

I’m on my way. I’ll go now. Nothing’s forever. I’ll kick out regret. To me, the world’s a main street with the lights out anyway; It’s full of emotional trash, so what more do you expect? The festival is over and the only thing left to do is leave. Put away your cringey goodbyes, I’m good. I’ll walk out like I did when nobody cared, So gimme some applause or something so I can be confident. In the end, goodbyes are something you have to face. Being born leads to death. Like how snow falls where flowers once bloomed And darkness falls where light once shined, You leave on the same road whence you came. A single speck buried in the ground Blooms into a single flower And is plucked by the hand of the world.

Please, baby, can you give me room to breathe? You don’t know what it feels like to be me. Broken heart, but I like the way it bleeds. Paid the price but I gave it all for free, yeah yeah.

“I hate the way that you talk. I hate the way that you are.” Okay, baby, I’ll be on my way. You hate the way that we are. (I’m on my way.) I miss the way that we were. (I’m on my way.) Just call, and you know I’m on my way.

I quit my job today. Yeah, I quit my job today. I quit, so go away, ‘Cuz I’m sick of all these sad songs.

I quit my job today. Yeah, I quit my job today. Tell the boys I’m on my way, ‘Cuz I’m sick of singing these love songs.

[seokjinsonlyone]

Idk if you’ve been asked this before but what is your favorite song from each members solo projects so far? Lol the astronaut is the exception 😂

omg!!! we must have some sort of connection bc i was just thinking about this earlier and i'm gonna assume this is in our hiatus era bc the rapline just has so much history it'd be impossible to pick just one LOL so imma go in chronological order of when it was released!!

for hobi it's safety zone like that song just really hold a special place in my heart like the sound of it is soooooo i can't even describe arson is a close second tho

for joonie it's closer hands down when i first heard that track i literally started vibrating on the frequency of bees

for mini it's it's actually hard to pick but his lil ep hit so freaking hard and was so unexpected for me and listen i am not really a lyric girly like i will listen to a song in english mind you could know all the words and sing it but not really pay attention to what it's saying at all like there's this one song i love and i swore by that song listened to it on repeat for hours wanted it played at my wedding that's never gonna happen and everything and like a year later i realized it was a breakup song all this to say that the english version of like crazy makes me soooo insane specifically the line "emotions on ice" like that one line right there changed the trajectory of my life BUT THEN there's alone and like i said NOT really a lyric girly so the way that this song sounds and just the composition is SOOO clever like in the chorus part where he's like "day and night fall" and when he says fall there's that voice effect that literally drops and the overlapping "mayday, get me out of here" that's literally a cry for help like that is so freaking genius and caught me from the beginning and it's just so it's a song i really like to listen to even tho it's really sad LOL BUT THEN there's set me free pt 2 which i realize now i could've just led with bc it really does have both those elements like it has that sound that makes me vibrate and the lyrics that alter my brain chemistry (especially when he's like raise your hands for the past me i'm just head in hands about that line AMONGST MANY OTHER PARTS) AND THE PERFORMANCE MY GOD i don't even know where to start talking about that one so i won't so let's just say set me free pt 2 is king for me

for yoongi i literally decided on my way into the house after getting off from work that dday was my favorite from the album like i was going back and forth between dday and sdl and decided that what takes sdl to the top for me is adora's adlibs like she really snapped but if i was picking my fav from yoongi bc of yoongi it's dday like y'all don't understand the way i be blasting that song everyday on my way to work it be like 5am and i'm in the car volume turned all the way up talm bout time for some paycheck and i'm riding downtown 😭 it's become my ultimate hype song me thinks

and i know my seokjinnie only has the astronaut but it's SO good like "when i'm with you there is no one else and i get heaven to myself" is such a wonderful and lovely line and when he starts belting about how much he loves me god my heart is so full i am at peak military wife whenever it comes on

and the babies haven't released anything yet but i will use this opportunity to say that i am forever changed by taehyung's jazz covers like that festa video that dropped had me listening to jazz for the rest of the week and like you can tell how much he has improved as a singer his voice is just like honey and i gulped it down with a cup of tea fr like i've probably watched it five times by now i love it so much and for jk can i just say that i miss when he was in his silk sonic phase like i was literally screen recording that one live when he covered leave the door open for the first time honestly i have most of that concert screen recorded LOL like baepsae hip thrusts and all but i think of all the songs jk has covered and my god there has been plenty his cover of leave the door open is my favorite and i'd like to hear more of him with that sound there's also this one other song he covered once it was during one of his morning lives it was a korean song and he was imitating the singer but i have no idea of the artist or the song but just know that there's a section in my brain that holds that one specific cover dearly

i have no idea how this got to be so long i didn't expect to have this much to say on this topic BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING

[domnq88]

I want to sing this to somebody 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

It’s so sweet… (English lyrics below. I didn’t translate this though)

The Korean is simple so I could sing it, and I could play guitar for it.

I’d probably cheat and use my keyboard for the strings. 😊I’m almost done with my wreck of the day song, so I’ll work on this for the summer!!!! 😊 imma try omg!!!

우리 손 잡을까요 지난날은 다 잊어버리고

나를 사랑한다고 말해주세요

우리 동네에 가요 편한 미소를 지어 주세요

노란 꽃잎처럼 내 맘에

사뿐히 내려앉도록

바람결에 스쳐 갈까 내 마음에 심어질까

너에게 주고만 싶어요

사랑을 말하고 싶어

사랑해요 그대 있는 모습 그대로

너의 모든 눈물

닦아주고 싶어

어서 와요 그대 매일 기다려요

나 웃을게요 많이

그대를 위해 많이

많이 웃을게요

우리 손 잡을까요

(널 얼마나 사랑하는데)

오늘은 안아줘요

(왜 왜 자꾸 놓아주려 해)

놓아주려해

바람처럼 사라질까 내 마음을 채워줄까

나는 너를 보고 싶어요

너와 함께 하고 싶어

사랑해요 그대 있는 모습 그대로

너의 모든 시간

함께 하고 싶어

어서 와요 그대 같이 걸어가요

웃게 해줄게요 더 웃게 해줄게요

영원히

Shall we hold hands?

Forget about all the past days

Please tell me that you love me

Going to our town

Please put on a comfortable smile

So that it settles gently in my heart

Like yellow dandelion petals

Will the wind blow you away?

WIll you be planted in my heart?

I just want to give it to you

I want to tell you that I love you

I love you

Just the way you are

All of your tears

I want to wipe them away

Come here, you

I wait for you everyday

I will smile a lot

A lot for you

I will smile a lot

Shall we hold hands?

(How much do I love you?)

Please hold me today

(How long have I been waiting for you?)

Dancing now

(Why do you keep trying to go farther away?)

Going to our town

(Why do you keep trying to let go?)

Trying to let go

Will you disappear like the wind?

Will you fill my heart?

I want to see you

I want to be with you

I love you

Just the way you are

All of your time

I want to spend it together

Come here, you

Let's walk together

I'll make you smile

I'll make you smile more

Forever

🕯 and 🎧?

Thank you so much for the ask Adri🤍 Hope you and your f/o's are having a wonderful day/night!

🕯: what would you two consider a super special date?

Let's see...

Hanasis: Date in nature. Somewhere far, far away from humans, from pollution, from loudness of the cities, far from everyone. Just the two of them, together. Exploring some abandoned places, reclaimed by nature, forest, or a wide hill. Hours filled with talking, affection, compliments, cuddles, and warmth.

Sephizilia: As long as they're together, and away from the public, it's ideal for them. Late night drives? Movie dates? Stargazing? Even just reading books and gossiping and infodumping about stupidest of things? Every moment is special for them, because just one alone is enough for the other for their world to be complete. It's not about what or where they go and do, it's about the moments Tsizilia and Sephiroth share. Because their lives were filled with nothing but sorrow, hatred, and war, anything they do now, is like experiencing the missed opportunities and wonders of a 'normal' life. And nothing shall make them fall apart again. Together against the world, forever and ever.

(WAOOSIAIUSIAS I GOT EMOTIONAL WHAT THE FUCC)

🎧: what song/songs do you associate with your f/o? Is there a specific verse/verses that make you relate to them?

Oh, man😭 this one is very difficult, because I don't really listen to music with 'lyrics' anymore💀 But if I really had to choose, I would say:

"Hole-dwelling" by Kikuo - for Sephiroth. The lyrics, in my opinion, perfectly depict how Sephiroth probably felt as he floated half-dead-half-alive in the Lifestream, after getting yeeted by Cloud, for over five years. And I also like to think, since the one that sings always says 'we/our/us', it's like Sephiroth and Jenova, as a part of him and his blood/cells. I just know she 'communicated' and manipulated her "son" in some way, and turning him into a villain we know of, I don't believe it was just 'going crazy' moment. It was ALL at once. Jenovas manipulation, identity crisis, (Tsizilias encouragement👀), and other stuff.

"Inside a cramped, narrow hole The two of us show each other our dreams We can't be in that world; Neither can we be in this world"

"The sun, the moon, the sky, and God-all Bringing forth: this life of hole-dwelling We can't escape. We can't escape We can't escape, so we won't escape We won't escape, so close your eyes. 2, 1, 0 Let's fall, let's fall, let's fall and fall Into the vortex of this life of hole-dwelling Let's fall, let's fall, let's fall and fall together Like the best of friends, wherever it may take us You and me, forever and always"

SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT???

As for Hanami... I've WAITED for this one.

"Earth Song" by Michael Jackson. (MAN. That song holds the record of making me cry the MOST times while listening to it). The lyrics are... Brutal. Because, just like Hanami, they do not hide the truth, that we ARE indeed ruining our planet. And beside all the promises we made along the way, it was always broken and forgotten. Earth is crying, Hanami can CLEARLY hear it, but humans are deaf. We're torturing it, and they have to endure as forests, hills, seas, everything, goes to nothingness, by our destructive hand.

"What about sunrise? What about rain? What about all the things That you said we were to gain?"

"Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores?"

"I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far"

"Hey, what about yesterday? (What about us?) What about the seas? (What about us?) The heavens are falling down (What about us?) I can't even breathe (What about us?)"

"What about nature's worth? (Ooh) It's our planet's womb (What about us?)"

"What about crying whales? (What about us?) We're ravaging the seas (What about us?) What about forest trails? (Ooh) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us?)"

OKAY YEAH BRB IMMA CRY NOW-

Link to the ask game!

[smittenvixen13]

For that ask thing you just reblogged. All of them. Answer all the questions from 1 to 30+

Well! Didn't expect that lol, but will do.

what’s your Christmas aesthetic? Somwhere between "Tacky" Christmas (think 90s/early 00s look) and Nature took over inside and you're expecting a reindeer to somehow walk out into the livingroom.

good or naughty? Eh, Good for the most part.

what fictional character would you want to find under the mistletoe? There's a COUPLE but most likely Aizawa from BNHA, or Jason Todd from DC. I am fully aware of my type and know I have no chances lol

reindeers or polar bears? Reindeer, for sure!

opening the presents: Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? Counter! Midnight! We used to always open presents at midnight between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, our parents would send us to bed around 8, of course we didn't sleep, and we'd be woken up around midnight, and then all 20-ish of us (more if people could travel) would go one by one and open presents all at once. We still keep the tradition going as much as we can, but we don't mind picking a day or doing both days and seeing the same people twice. Both sides of the family (dad and mom) would both come, my parents go lucky that the in-laws loved each other, and we all get together/visit one another whenever we want. it pays that all of us live in the same city.

what’s your favourite Christmas movie? I'm actually a sucker for those old school stop-motion movies like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Year without a Santa Clause, etc. I also love How the Grinch Stole Christmas (both versions, not with Benedict Cumbersalad) too! But one I haven't seen in FOREVER is The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause (2000s version), been a hot minute since I watched that on Disney Channel.

favourite Brooklyn Nine-Nine Christmas episode? I sadly never got into Brooklyn Nine-Nine :(((

what’s your favourite holiday/winter fics tropé? I think Snowed in alone together is a nice one, so long as no one creates angst there >.>

playing in the snow or drinking hot cocoa by the fire? Drinking Hot Cocoa by the fire! I have a fireplace in the den and whenever I can, I like to sit by it and just vibe.

who do you relate to the most, the Grinch or Buddy the Elf? Buddy the Elf, but make me go to the mall and the Grinch shall appear. I get all my shopping done in October.

knitted sweater or knitted scarf? Knitted Sweater! I can't do scarfs too much because i end up getting bugged by them, but I love sweaters!

what’s your favourite Holiday song? "My Grown Up Christmas Wish" sung by Kelly Clarkson. Always manages to make me cry but I do love it.

fairy lights or neon signs? Fairy Lights.

do you have any particular Holiday tradition in your family? Mostly that midnight one I mentioned in the earlier questions. Oh! And my Maternal Grandmother has an old baby Jesus doll from Mexico (actually 2, but we use the bigger one). We place the doll (made out of clay or ceramic i think, but I can't recall, it's painted over) gently on a blanket, lift it up, and we sing him to sleep as we gently rock the blanket back and forth. Once he's "rocked to sleep" each of us will kiss his forehead to wish him a good night, before he's placed in the 'manger'.

hot cocoa or hot cider? Hot Cocoa!

Michael Bublé or Mariah Carrey? Imma have to go with Michael, I'm happy Mariah got her bag but c'MON, It's too much by now.

do you celebrate Christmas? I do! I'm no longer a practicing Catholic and honor more Yuletide events instead, but I love to celebrate Christmas too, it's what i've known for a long time.

snowed in with your crush: yay or nay? Yay, but I currently don't have any haha, wish me luck in the wilds that are dating apps!

Christmas rom-coms or Christmas children movies? Christmas Children Movies, Rom-coms can be over done and too cheesy for my tastes, and I have a couple Xmas hallmark movies I like.

you’ve been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas future. What did you find out? I found out that I can't allow my fear of the unknown to hold me back, it's sadly a truth i learned late in life. But I am learning.

spending Christmas with the whole family or just with your so? (hint: it can be your pet) With my family, again, not dating ATM, but I am getting some cute catches.

what’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think about Christmas? The scent of pine. I love that smell and can get VERY addicted to wearing all those candles to nubs just to enjoy it.

Gingerbread or cookies? Gingerbread, they can have a bit of a bite to them and that's honestly very appealing to me. I can't handle too much sweet.

what’s a good book to read during the holidays? Whatever you like, honestly! I'm looking up my old Jr. High books from almost (oooof) fifteen years ago! I really loved "The Goblin Wood" though! It's by Hilari Bell.

Skiing or Ice-skating? Neither, my ass is not balanced enough to not eat snow/ice. I WILL break something.

where and would you spend the winter ideally? Ideally it would be in the UK, honestly, I'm planning go next year! But only for the beginning of December. I can't imagine a Christmas without my family, no matter how chaotic and loud we all get. (I'll have to answer the rest after I post this!)

[the80hbee]

okay time for me to BARREL INTO THIS IDEA with all of my excited Naturalist Hippie Knowledge, while gladly ignoring the fact that fantasy england probably has pretty different life from where I live dhshdhdjdjd

halt and crowley the fox duo I honestly just love too much I ain’t making any suggestion there no sir I am not changing that we can forcefully create those as species in araluen if necessary

and let me say before I go on that at some point halt ABSOLUTELY makes this joke ab gilan and will. “little fox? you mean the little fucks?” and with the slight hibernian accent I will just forcefully create the reality that it’s similar to how my friend with a french (canadian) accent says “fox” which sounds a Lot like “fucks” SO

:readmore:

berrigan: songbird? unacceptable /j /lh Imma put forth varied thrush bc 1. I like varied thrushes and I like berrigan 2. varied thrushes have unique haunting sad beautiful songs. which ik doesn’t 100% fit berrigan ig you could’ve gone with a robin or whatever w their pretty jaunty songs but a varied thrush has more Character, man. “haunting buzzy minor key monotone whistles” they sound rly cool. plus they’re kinda reclusive and not often seen by people walking around in the woods, only if they wanna be seen, so usually you just hear them when they decide they wanna sing. sounds rangery to me

will: I like the feline thought, and I’m thinking perhaps bobcat or eurasian lynx or whatever if you wanna make it more fantasy england appropriate (both in the lynx family). silly tufty ear bois but all the feline qualities of stealth and waiting stalking and knocking shit off shelves to fuck with people. big paws to be quiet bois. I say bobcat though bc they’re not as much like Snow Boi High Elevation Lads which I don’t think will would appreciate given. skandia. and other lynxes are more that vibe. further north you get, in general, the thicker the fur gets and the bigger the paws get on lynxes. and honestly lots of snow animas lmao. maybe we can make up a species for will 🤝 black lynx bc I love that like lineage from halt

gilan: I’d say this bitch is like an american bittern or smthn KSJDHDHDHDKS (give that bird a google. I love them. one of my favorite existing things. I saw one once and got great pics of it and saw it CATCH A FISH AND EAT IT so it’s forever embedded in my heart. this is your notification that I am in fact also a nature nerd and an atypical birder, which is really just other words for bird nerd, but not the kind who tried to check off life lists and buys increasingly expensive equipment, which hey valid if that’s what boats your float, but I’m just gonna run out and make tiny happy stims and watch the birds and be like lmfao what is this mfer doing this absolute LAD and create some bird memes and be like wow the Character the absolute Sass and occasionally nerd out identifying new ones and-right uh anyway) american bitterns are HILARIOUS they are long, yet they are chonk. they sound like weird water pump glunk-a-glunk things, and it’s a sound that travels for miiiles. also reclusive and not usually seen, only heard. they’re a part of the heron family (LMAOOOOOOO THAT WASNT ON PURPOSE BUT NOW IT IS-) I feel like lewis would just joke about how gilan should’ve been codenamed araluen bittern after the whatever happens with bb crossover (HAVENT READ IT DONT SPOIL) and given the way he is and so on. but actually, his code name is maybe. uh. I’m actually stumped, so I’m just gonna assign him some raptory predatory bird-great sure we’ll go with red tailed hawk SHDHDJD

what is the spacing ;-; thanks mobile

well, finally, pritchard: I love the little chicks thing DHSHDHJDDJ though I could also so see him calling them his little cubs or something if pritchard was a black bear (or brown bear?), just a thought. you’d be surprised by how stealthy black bears can be. though eh at the same time. they’re rangers. so. I think of golden eagle for pritchard, for some reason. little eagles! too many birds in the rangers to rly call them little birds I think. and so the chicks remain

let me return to crowley and halt: the fox duo. pritchard gives halt his code name as the final parting gift before halt heads to araluen — and crowley and halt realize they were both mentored by pritchard and then that they were both made into foxes by pritchard. the renegades absolutely refer to them as the foxes because they’re an inseparable and indomitable duo. absolute forces of nature. even when crowley becomes commandant, halt is obviously his unofficial second/right hand man type whatever, and so it’s often that the leadership is referred to as “the foxes”.

retired rangers largely still keep the right to their code name. there’s enough animals y’all lmao. BUT. if a retired ranger forms a bond with an apprentice, they can choose to offer their code name to that apprentice as they graduate, and the apprentice can choose whether or not they’d like to take up the mantle. it gave crowley such a paperwork headache the first time a retired ranger approached him about it (bc I feel like it’s a thing crowley would do/allow) but as long as he keeps a very up to date list of who retired when, then there shouldn’t be issues with confusing which “sparrow” it was who did what.

because I also definitely believe that the retired rangers do Not just sit around castle araluen helping crowley with paperwork. and I think crowley absolutely Would implement some kind of mentoring program shit where apprentices spend time with the retirees and spend a month at some point in their apprenticeship swapped with another apprentice in their year, to get a different mentoring style/rangerly approach/etc. beneficial for all. Anyway.

oh god sorry if I absolutely just bulldozed through with that

What if rangers used code names?

What would the names be? I think they'll use animal names, cause why not?

But who would have what? They'd be animals that exist in Araluen, but by tradition, the ranger can't chose the name themselves. And I think the name would be based of their apprenticeship.

A few suggestions:

Halt: Black fox

Crowley: Red fox

Berrigan: Song bird

Will: Black cat

Gilan: Lone wolf?

Pritchard: White? eagle

As apprentices they'll be called something like little- and then whatever their mentor is.

So Gilan and Will would be called 'little fox'. And Crowley and maybe Halt would be called 'little bird'. Although Pritchard has called them 'his chicks' repeatedly. They still get teased about it by the renegade rangers.

Halt still calls Will little fox sometimes. So does Crowley though, and so does nearly every ranger.

I will think it would be nice. Just to have the funnys

i thought you might find it fun that i stumbled onto this tiktok and went "oh that's my Enby On The Men's Team!MC for College Tennis. their dance moves are their Big Guns of a weapon for flirting - Oooh Look At Me, You Know You Want Me And Nobody Can Blame You, Watch My Body, Wish Your Hands Were On It, WOOOH" like. imma multishipper so im just going. Dayum. Imagine Them And Tobin Showing Everyone Up And Their Teammates Fake-Gagging When They Dance Again On The Way Home. Imagine Them Dancing While Rayyan Watches Until Rayyan Finally Stands Up To Claim Their Partner. Imagine Them And Sam Giggling While They Dance Ridiculously. Imagine Them And G At Another Party And Then Again In Private. Just Imagine Their Team Going "OOOOOHH!!" During MC's Smug, Adrenaline-Fueled Victory Dance.. Bonus Points If They Can Get Their Doubles Partner To Do A (Far Easier) Little Coordinated Jive With Them

just. thanks for the ability to make the MC a dancer. i really like all the opportunities to show how much music means to MC (singing with their dad in the car, their mom's mix-tape, dancing at the resteraunt and the party, so on and so forth). it's a detail i really like and now have headcanons about how theyve learned and what music means to them (and, yes, their major is related haha). and, bRUH, you KNOW i am playing a Lead Singer (who got late bc of a work emergency as Nat sighes that they are a workaholic) and selecting Kareoke As The Family Tradition for Merry Crisis, and taking that Qiu Listening To MC Sing headcanon as canon. i cannot wait to see more of music playing a recurring role in both games, you know what ill be picking for my MC to be doing every time music/dancing is available, theyre both now experts forever and always haha sending you lots of love and inspiration, all the respect to you and your craft ❤️❤️❤️❤️ hope you enjoy the lil dancey tiktoks hahaaaa

OH MY GOD I forgot to actually reply to this!!

Sorry, I absolutely 100% LOVED this, because bruh, you've got a whole universe of CT:OS headcanons in the form of tiktok dances here. (How very, very '21st century modern art' of you).

I especially especially loved the idea of Tobin and MC dancing/jiving to music at Valentina's in public (or wherever, really, at a party, maybe during a random lunch stop as they drive to an away game etc.) just for fun, and just being ridiculously good at it and being cheered on by everyone watching, and then driving back from somewhere and finding some little pocket of time to dance for just themselves, with everything/everyone else melting away. Also that one with Sam dancing ridiculously with MC: I can 100% see that happening with those jokers.

I am also 1000% in love with the idea of a coordinated doubles partner victory dance, and it is absolutely canon that Tobin would do that with MC. In fact, it's so canon that I'll give you my word to write that in. Rayyan will be... far more difficult to persuade, though :P

Also - you are absolutely right (that was some high level literary analysis you did on Merry Crisis HAHA) I didn't even realise I'd jam-packed so many music-related scenes/concepts/choices into (both) IFs. Super cool how you've got so many threads linking Qiu and Nat and your family in one playthrough alone. You're going to think this is absurd but Shay is also (and this is canon) a drummer in a band? I'm SORRY I PLANNED IT ALREADY, BEFORE I READ YOUR ASK!!

I guess it just happened because for me, music has always been so intimately entwined with memories (both good and bad), and spending time with people I love (family, friends, romantic partners). I don't think there's been a big moment in my life that I don't associate with some song or music.

Thank you so much for sharing this :) Also, p.s. this is not helping my CT:OS/Merry crisis blog divorce, at all :P I don't even know how to tag this.
