#its my favorite live song of theirs

[arolesbianism]

Impulsively spent an hour making a big splat tune playlist and lemme tell you I forgot how much I just do not care for off the hook songs. Damp sock however? Absolute fucking perfection they take the best part of off the hook (Pearl and Marina's voices) and both let them properly shine and also fixed what I didn't like abt off the hook music (the boring ass instrumentals) by doing what sploon does best and going ham with the piano and guitar

fifty creative writing warmups

1. search for lists of writing prompts, select one at random, and write from it for 15 minutes. the goal should be to write as much as possible, rather than trying to write something “good.”

[diredeliverance]

I know it was just a silly joke tag but if you ever wrote an Orin manifesto I would read it...I haven't played BG3 in a while (its siren song is calling to me but I cannot answer as it is at home and I am at uni) but every time I think about her. God... she evokes Emotions.

It is so much less of a joke than you might think. I'm very much an "Orin is easily the most interesting of the Dead Three Chosen" truther and I think that even if she doesn't get the focus that Ketheric does and is just not presented very well by the game all the material is there to see it. I don't think I ever posted a manifesto besides my swap AU rant but like. She's the child of one of the most legendary Bhaalspawn to ever live, who simultaneously is the most legendary failure among the Bhaalspawn. She's raised, unknowing, as a sacrificial lamb to enable her mother (her father's favorite pawn) to rise to power. She survives attempts on her life from a very young age. She resists attempts at being controlled- and god does it speak to her skill and creativity that the reason she doesn't have her own little immortal butler is that she managed to kill hers and keep him dead. She's a false chosen one in this weird gothic family situation with a declining, incestuous bloodline pushed further towards decay by the arrival of the Dark Urge, who usurps whatever she could have possibly earned. The world rejects her and her vision relentlessly, but she refuses to be rejected or broken down. She keeps the faith and she believes that her way isn't just valid, it's right.

And another thing! People will take DUrge's word that she's worshipping Bhaal wrong and doesn't understand her faith or her god, but I think that's completely untrue! Putting aside the fact that the Dark Urge seems to have had a kind of unending flop era for those who could see it and canonically lost Bhaal's favor, I think Orin is incredibly fucking knowledgeable, the game just doesn't give you a lot of context to understand just how engaged she is with the cult's history and the nuances of the faith because it's bad at implementing its references to the original games. Orin is responsible for all these sacrifices around the city that are hidden in weird locations, right? With weird, cryptic poems attached to the killings? That's not a frivolous or self indulgent art project (well, maybe a little self indulgent). The characters she's referencing are a group of Bhaalspawn who conspired against his plot of resurrection to instead usurp his throne and seize the powers of the god of murder. Orin is creating her own ritual executions of traitors to the faith. Bhaalspawn of the past have been failures, have been disloyal, have attempted to take that which was not theirs instead of playing the parts they were given. Orin is affirming with these wildly difficult sacrifices that she distinguishes herself through her devotion, her skill, and her ability to excuse that which strikes against Bhaal. Her decadent killings would strike fear into the hearts of onlookers- fear which is an essential part of the faith of Bhaal.

And I don't think she's an idiot, either! She nearly killed Bhaal's Chosen- did kill them on a non-DUrge run. She's able to rule the cult despite some pretty powerful dissent. She's able to infiltrate Gortash's domain without being noticed until she chose to reveal herself (with typical dramatic flair). She's a pretty exaggerated character, but the game leans into the cartoonish and the other villains tend to match her energy in their own archetypes.

I feel like this isn't comprehensive but you get the gist, I think she's super interesting and fun. She deserves a lot better than to be treated as uniquely flat or reduced to DUrge's whiny sister or the Durgetash third wheel in fandom. Besides, she's so fucking fun. Who doesn't love someone that hammy? And her lookalike tricks in Rivington just rule. Highlights of the act.

TLDR I love Orin and I'll die on the "she's super interesting actually" hill

Medley of Maxley Headcanons

Greetings, all! It's been a long time since I've made an original post. So I wanted to make one for a favorite old pairing I enjoy that's been making a resurgence. A collection of all my Maxley headcanons. I hope that you enjoy them! Species Headcanons Max is a Labradoodle, a designer crossbreed between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard/Miniature Poodle. Along with being great family companions they're known for being great service dogs. Both breeds are in the Sporting Group and are water retriever dogs. He gets his Labrador Retriever side from Goofy and his Standard Poodle side from his late mother. I picked this breed for Max because both breeds have loppy ears, black fur and outgoing personalities. Bradley is a Saluki, a purebred dog that originally comes from the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East. It is well known for its hunting prowess and hunts by sight rather than scent, making it a sighthound. Additionally in Islamic culture it is the only dog that's described as being clean. I picked this dog for Bradley because the common fur coloring for the breed and its background as a hunting dog fits his personality and overall look. It's also used as a mascot for the Southern Illinois University Carbondale varsity athletic teams, called the Southern Illinois Salukis. And being the athlete that he is just made it an even more perfect choice for Bradley.

Regular Headcanons Bradley, being the Alpha male type that he is, will howl at Max when he walks by to tease him. The first time he did it Max whipped around to slap him out of instinct. Bradley barely dodged it but still likes to tease the cute freshman by howling at him. Now Max just rolls his eyes at the senior. Although he can't deny that he blushes a bit whenever Bradley does it.

Max likes pop music, which surprises a lot of people as he comes off as an alternative music type. And recently he's gotten into city pop(Japanese 70's/80's pop songs). So Bradley takes Max on a surprise trip to Japan to attend a live city pop concert.

Max is a chili head, and Bradley tries to eat a super-hot Serrano pepper chili to impress him. Even in spite of the fact that he has the spice tolerance of a two-year old. It goes about as well as you think. But Max is there with a nice, triple chocolate fudge ice cream cone and gives the Uppercrust a kiss for effort.

Bradley is very possessive and dangerously protective of Max. He does not tolerate anyone who's not part of Max's inner circle touching his freshman. Once at a party a guy tried to get handsy with Max when Bradley turned his head for a moment. Max tried to make the guy back off for his own sake - but it was too late. Bradley already had the creep out on his ear. For the rest of the party Bradley keeps Max sitting in his lap. And even as they leave, he carries Max all the way back to his dorm.

Before either of them enters a skating contest, Max and Bradley always rub noses for good luck. It was a little intimate tradition of theirs that started by accident when they bumped into each other - and their noses touched. Bradley quite liked the sensation, and Max finds it cute how the Uppercrust is a secret romantic. So they started rubbing noses for good luck.

Bradley likes to watch 70's/80's Saturday morning cartoons(i.e. Transformers Generation 1 and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero), but he never told anyone until he started dating Max. When he told him the Labradoodle started watching the cartoons with Bradley - also having an interest in them. Max even got Bradley a collector's edition action figure from a favorite cartoon of his for his birthday. It was then that Bradley knew he wanted Max to be the new Mr. Uppercrust.

Whenever Bradley is upset he'll seek out Max to lay his head on his lap, and the Labradoodle rubs his scalp. Doesn't matter if Max is at the library studying, chilling at the park or it's late at night and he's about to go to bed. Bradley will text him that he's mad and Max immediately knows what he needs. He'll tell him where he is and Bradley will come to him and lay his head down on his lap, an angry pout on his face as he lets Max rub his scalp. Cute as this is, professors did have to express to Bradley that this isn't allowed in the middle of a midterm. When Bradley proposed to Max, he told him that there was no pressure or expectation to take his name or even hyphenate it. He's actually come to like the name Goof - and knows how much it means to Max. The Labradoodle found this very endearing of the Saluki to reassure him. However Max did at least want to hyphenate his last name. So, on the day of their wedding, Bradley Uppercrust the 3rd and Maximilian Goof-Uppercrust were wedded.

Max does get jealous over Bradley, but it's a bit more complex. Along with general insecurity Max is an angry jealous type. Not angry at Bradley - but angry at the person who tries to steal him or make light of their relationship either by claiming Max is just a gold digger or Bradley just has his wealth and looks to offer. Max would be rightfully pissed and tell off the person by saying Bradley is more than just some rich guy. He may be an arse, but he's trying to do better. And how it's more than he can say for his peers who go out of their way to be nasty people. And if it's someone trying to steal Bradley he tells them off by saying how trashy it is to go after a guy who's already attached and how they could have all the money in the world and still not buy good taste. Then he storms off. Bradley of course is elated to see his normally sweet Goof show some fire. And he spends that whole week just spoiling him from roses to breakfast in bed. Footnote: Don't panic at that last part ! He had someone else cook!

Bradley has always had an affinity for horror movies, so when a school dance was coming he got on a Scream costume and did the whole "Do you like scary movies" bit with Max and towards the end asked if he wants to be his "final girl". Dork that he is Max giggled and said yes.

Bradley was so nervous about asking Goofy for his permission to date/marry Max he actually gave him a bridal dowry. Let's just say you could rent two thirds of Spoonerville for what Bradley gave. But Goofy was cool about it and said that Bradley has his permission. Although he would like a new fishing rod, and Bradley happily got him a top of the line one.

Max wears a white-tailed suit to give the illusion of a gown as the bride and a veil. Bradley wears a classic black tuxedo as the groom. In place of a garter Max wore an ankle band for Bradley to take off and toss. A very special headcanon for all of you House of Mouse enjoyers! Bradley comes to the club every night Max works and always tips him. None of the Gammas, even Tank, go along with him after the first dozen(well for the other members it was the first three times, for Tank it was the first dozen) times because Bradley so shamelessly fawns over Max in his uniform. Older Disney characters like Aladdin and Hercules try to tell him to just talk to Max…but as the kids say, he fumbles the bag. Often. It takes Pongo doing his old ring around the leash trick to literally bring the two together for it to finally click and they actually get together romantically. Max's pet name for Bradley is dreamboat, while the Saluki's pet name for the Labradoodle is macaron. Max speaks fluent French thanks what he learned from his late mother's side of the family, as she originally hailed from Paris. While he doesn't have an accent per se his voice does change into a distinct tone when he speaks French. And it really gets Bradley in a romantic mood any time Max says so much as "croissant". Bradley's Family Headcanons

Bradley having emotionally/physically abusive parents or even a whole rotten family is getting really tired out. So, I'm going to do what Spongebob said and make aggressively NICE people!

Bradley's father, Bradley Uppercrust the Second or Bradman as to avoid confusion with his father or son, is a successful man and a man about town. He's intelligent, a strong leader and also a family man. However…he's a might uncoordinated. Like very uncoordinated. Like…Well like this fella here. For those who don't know, for reference's sake, this is Inspector Clouseau from the original live action Pink Panther film franchise.

Anyway, Bradley could never understand how in the world his accident/danger prone father got to where he was without offing himself just by walking on air. But if nothing else Bradman has a good head on his shoulders(which is amazing that he can keep it on) and is always there to support his son. However, he does wish that Bradley would tone down the intensity at times. As such Bradman views Max as a true blessing as someone who can keep his son grounded and as much on the straight and narrow as possible. Eloise Uppercrust is a mix of two women. The kind you see in beauty pageants, and the kind you see play as the dangerous femme fatale luring the hero to their doom as she was the villain all along. If Bradley got his smarts and looks from his dad, he definitely got his cunning and athletic prowess from his mom. Eloise is not a woman to trifle with, especially when it comes to her loved ones and career. She's a woman filled with ambition and righteous fury. But she can take a moment to settle and be a peaceful lamb when in the presence of her two most favorite men. When it comes to Bradley's fierce competitive streak Eloise does blame herself as she feels she didn't teach her son that there are times when you should stop and not go overboard. So, when Max comes along and shows himself as being both able to keep up with Bradley and having the willpower to make Bradley stop when he needs to, Eloise immediately approves of her future son-in-law. Mercedes Uppercrust, or Mercy for short, is Bradley's tween younger sister. She's usually reserved by nature but does have a wild side that she lets loose when she gets a burst of excitement. Mercy is very close to Bradley but felt that she was losing touch with him after he got more involved with the X-Games and felt that he was more focused on being the champion than he was being a person. And, by extension, being her big brother. So when Max came into the picture and began to help Bradley get on the road to the redemption Mercy looked up to the Labradoodle as a hero. A child prodigy in her own right, Mercedes has a predilection for all things music and cooking. Her favorite instrument to play is the harp and she greatly enjoys baking. And when she learned that Max is a culinary arts major and likes to listen to music Mercedes told Bradley not to blow it with him. Bradley Uppercrust the First, or Grandfather Lee, may be an older gentleman but he has a sharp mind and a strong spirit. Being the doting family man that he is Grandfather Lee loves his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren very much. When it comes to Bradley he wants nothing more than for him to find the person that he wants to be and for him to be happy in his choice, rather than trying to continue what he thinks is a legacy his grandfather is trying to set up. Grandfather Lee actually takes a great liking to Max as his bright spirit reminds him of his dear late wife. And as it happens the oldest Uppercrust has a rather surprising past that not even Bradley was fully aware of. In his youth, Grandfather Lee was a vocal coach who taught the one and only Powerline. And he was actually backstage when Max and Goofy got on stage with the singer at his concert all those years ago to provide support for his old student. So, in a way, Max has actually "met" Bradley's family early on. Suffice to say - Grandfather Lee gives Max his blessing. Max is a Gamma AU Headcannon

Deciding that he wanted Max apart of the Gammas more than anything, Bradley begrudgingly agreed to let P.J. and Bobby join the Mu Mu fraternity as well. So the freshmen all joined in with the Gammas for the X-Games. And before long Max pretty much became the den mother of the bunch. Having lived with a single dad Max knows about how to run a house and clean. Even though his aloof, free-spirited nature would have you thinking otherwise. He listens to the other Gamma members and talks to them when they need a sympathetic ear. And he knows how to cook actual food, which has certainly worked to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood. Max's kind nature has also helped Bradley chill out. So much that this year he decides not to cheat for the X-Games. Mainly because he knows how disappointed Max would be if he found out.

At some point when Goofy arrives at the college, though, Bradley does feel compelled to come clean to Max about not always having been the nicest guy(understatement) but quickly adds that Max made him want to change. Of course Max is disappointed like he expected him to be. He even contemplates quitting the team. But eventually he's just glad that Bradley decided not to cheat this time - and tells him he'll stay if he puts in the work to win the competition fairly. Bradley does so, and the Gammas do win. It doesn't take much after that before Max and Bradley start dating, and the king soon lands himself a freshman consort.

Scaled and icyyyyyyyyyy. What to even say. I admit I was not its biggest defender when it hit the ground in 2021 but it has grown on me so much over the last few years. Visually their most beautiful and cohesive era that tells such a specific and clear story all on its own. Sonically so fresh and bouncy and served as Tyler's "back to basics" self produced project where you can tell he was having fun trying new sounds out for the band while keeping a very specific feeling and energy throughout.

The almost genuinely horrific dissonance set up on Good Day between this very peppy bright music, and absolute crushing misery and isolation. Constant references to self-medication/allusions to addiction. Clinging to how the world used to be because how it is now is unbearable (hello ongoing pandemic). Clinging also to imagination as an escape and a form of freedom - but that can only get you so far, really. The first album where we properly got to know/understand clancy imo (obviously he was present during trench but it was much more subtle back then since we only had dema org to work with, sai gave us the livestream and very lore heavy shows and more heavily narrative videos).

Regardless of how the boys might feel about scaled and icy after the fact due to its reception ("kinda wishing that I never did saturday") to me it's so clearly the album/era where they fully realized they could just go for it, whatever it was, and we would follow them and have a good time. Both in terms of basically becoming a full-blown concept band & in terms of the music itself.

I know we all adore redecorate and did from the moment it dropped but I also truly believe songs like saturday and mulberry street are some of tyler's best production work ever. Choker is one of my all time favorite songs of theirs. The livestream gave us both the heathens/trees mashup and the jumpsuit/hds mashup & then we ALSO got mtv unplugged out of this era ?? For being a peak early covid album it still gave us some of their best live material ever. And ofc tyler's sparkly jacket and miss faux fur shirtless diva josh dun.

SAI is probably the tøp album I have the least weird personal emotional baggage tied to, which is why this post has actually been about the music lmao. But I respect the music so much. And I also appreciate this era so massively for seeming to have brought a good number of people into the fandom :-) there is no bad first pilots album to have but SAI is a really special one I think. Love you forever girliepop <3 happy birthday

whatever you do with it will be amazing, like you. thank you & i hope you have an fabulous day!

Hewn City

Feysand x reader

A/n: AAAHHH THANK YOU BESTIE! I hope you like it and I hope YOU have a fabulous day 💜 also u need to dm me so we can talk more about Feysand ☺️

Warnings: kier being a douchebag

Sitting in front of your vanity Feyre and Mor were putting the finishing touches on your hair and makeup. This was your first visit to the Hewn City as Rhys and Feyre’s partner. You were nervous, but you knew nothing bad would happen to you.

You didn’t particularly want to meet Mor’s father, Kier. Rhys and Feyre told you what happened centuries ago. All you felt was rage toward the male that made your best friends life a living hell.

“All done!” Mor said in a sing-song voice. Feyre kisses your temple, “You look beautiful sweetheart.” Your blush was hidden by the pinkish glitter Mor had brushed on your cheeks moments ago.

You stood to give your outfit one more look over before heading downstairs. Mor winked at you through the full body mirror and left. Feyre came up behind you, snaking her hands in front of you to hold yours, resting her chin on your shoulder.

Your dress was a deep violet that it was almost black. The fabric shimmered with your movements. The high slits on both sides showing off your legs, the top only covering your breasts and wrapping around your neck. It was like you were the night sky Rhys ruled and Feyre shined in. Without you there is no them, they had said.

Your tattooed hand played with the fabric. You had a whole sleeve on your left arm to match their tattoos. Its dark swirls like theirs with stars to fill in the open spots.

A knock on the door has you and Feyre turning. Rhys had a bright smile on his face, his eyes twinkling with love for his favorite girls. “Wow. Just wow. You look stunning, both of you.” As he padded over to you two Rhys opened his arms and embraced you.

Pulling away he cupped your face looking down at you. “How are you feeling?” You swallow audibly. “Nervous. But I’ll be ok. You guys will be there, I know you’ll keep me safe.” Feyre placed a hand on your lower back, “Always, love.”

A little while later you were standing outside the throne room with them. Mor, Amren, Azriel, and Cassian already waiting on the dais. Your nerves acting up as you twisted at the silver rings on your fingers. Rhys stroked a finger down your spine to calm you, whispering in your mind, “What’s wrong love? Don’t be afraid to tell me.”

Keeping your eyes forward you respond, “I guess I’m just nervous about all of it. About the mask you and Fey will wear, the one I will wear.” “We’ll be in here the whole time reassuring you love. Don’t worry.” You nod at that, shaking out your arms and taking a deep breath.

The three of you walk past the kneeling crowd on to the dais. You stand between their thrones as the High Lord and Lady take their seats. Rhys gives you a wicked grin and motions for you to sit on his lap. Once your seated he scans his subjects, commanding them to rise.

Dinner started and Mor brought you all glasses of wine. You took a long swig to help with your lingering nerves. Feyre reached out her free hand to hold yours, rubbing her thumb over the back of your hand. You and Rhys smirked at each other and he began to kiss your neck.

Your eyes fluttered shut as you softly moaned at the feeling of his lips. “How are you feeling?” “Better now that your both touching me.” A feline smirk played on Feyre’s lips. “Tell us if you’re too uncomfortable. Az can take you home if you don’t want to stay.”

Opening your eyes you see Kier approaching the dais and tense up. Seeing the male in person you realized how pathetic he truly is. The three of you turn your attention to him. “It’s alright darling just stay calm, as you were before.” Rhys said softly. “He’s useless. Don’t let anything he says get to you. Bite back and keep your face bored.” Feyre adds.

As Kier aired his grievances to Rhys, he and Feyre continued their soothing touches. They knew they had to listen to Kier. But that didn’t stop them from looking bored or that he was an inconvenience. Once Kier had moved on to petty topics of things that would only benefit him Rhys cut him off and dismissed him.

Kier bowed but decided to show off his attitude loudly, giving Rhys a glare you should never give a High Lord if you wanted to keep your head. “One whore wasn’t so now you have one to share?” Half of the room fell silent at Kier’s comment.

You found Mor, Cassian, and Azriel close by. She was fuming and the Illyrians looked like they were about to attack Kier.

Rhys tapped your leg and you stood. Feyre stood too, pulling you into her, keeping a hand on the small of your back. It was clear the two were seeing red at Kier’s comment. You tried to take their advice and keep your face as bored as possible, but you couldn’t help but be a little hurt by his comment.

Rhys menacingly stepped toward Kier, coming toe-to-toe with him. Rhys towered over him, making Kier look even more pathetic than he already was. Kier tried to apologize quickly but Rhys held up a finger silencing him.

All you could do was watch. Rhys didn’t hurt Kier physically or verbally. No, you and Feyre could tell he delved into Kier’s mind and was mentally messing with him. When Rhys was finished punishing him, Kier’s eyes were wide. Sweat was beading on his forehead and his skin was a sickly pale shade. “You are dismissed for the rest of the evening.”

Kier walked off, heading toward the door that leads to his living quarters. The party resumed once the door was shut. The three of you went back to the thrones. You went back to your spot on Rhys’ lap, smiling at the two of them. “Are you ok?” Feyre asked. You nod and rest your head on Rhys’ shoulder and nip at his neck.

okay top five favorite underrated robron scenes and go

this took me several days to think about lol you have no idea how much i love you rn for letting me info dump about them omfggg i dont know what counts as underrated really i feel like every single scene they have is so well-loved for one reason or another but, i'll happily list some underrated(?) details i noticed on my watchthrough

this will be in no particular order just from what i think of first. god. ok

though its a very very very well known and loved scene (WELL DESERVED) i just love how robert sways with aaron during the reunion scene, like he's trying to do a first dance 2.0 with him to adele all over again. and help jog aaron’s memory about the scene like. Well technically it’s just standing. and then of course they have a flirting banter back and forth EXACTLY like their first dance too. god. wedding parallels kill me always

when aaron goes away to ireland after the gordon stuff comes out but before gordon is charged, the background plot of robert working at the scrapyard for aaron to not only make his life a little easier once he comes back but also working his ass off to have the scrapyard earn MORE money so aaron can be a little more comfortable financially (and pay for legal fees) once he's back too. like. god. 2016 robron forever and ever and ever i would live there 24/7 if i could

the casino las vegas holiday scene where robert has his hands over aaron’s eyes and is leading him to the back room it’s just. sooooooo cute to me but also shows how much aaron trusts robert. and it just makes me happy to be reminded what kids they both are like i truly do believe they have eachother pieces of their childhood back after both of theirs were taken from them :,-) like they can be KIDS together. ugh

the fact that chas picks out the song “can’t take my eyes off you” just kinda confirms that even when robron aren’t on screen all they are doing is staring at and giving heart eyes to each other, so much so that everyone in the village notices that it’s like. constant. and honestly just gonna throw in the whole karaoke scene as a scene i love that’s underrated(? not really), i’m a sucker for karaoke. and it kinda calls back to them being kids with each other

the "you are such a wind-up" scene lives rent free in my head its just sooooo them its SOOOO them, and really shows how much they know each other like aaron is literally saying nothing and robert STILL knows he's trying to rile him up likeee. i think theres a common trend with my fave details/scenes of them both and it's when they allow themselves to be silly / be kids like i cannot state this enough sorry. it just hits sooo good that they not only supported each other through revealing their childhood traumas to the other (robert supporting aaron getting gordon locked up / aaron supporting robert by steering any and all conversation away from jack) like... they can give each other a little piece of childhood glee back like its just so special to meeee

i'd love to know yours if you'd like to list some :-)

i was trying to find what quote they used in xzs vlog, first i thought it’s the mary poppins one, but theirs excluded the “fear”. when i searched again, what came up is the movie saving mister banks. did he watch it? 🧐

him singing / humming starry starry night was such a treat! and it’s not really a surprise that he would like that cause he is a van gogh fanboy ( plus a sad song which is is vibe lol ) . the use of bad guy by billie eilish is my fave tho! it’s so perfect!!!! it’s an upbeat song that fits the video but i wanna believe that it’s something more. like what i placed in my tag, some people wanna paint xz as this bad guy/person and he is throwing it in their face. say what you wanna say about him but he is out here living his best life being sexy and beautiful in Milan.

there was also a part where this was mentioned:

山不讓塵,川不辭盈 // 智行方圓,曲中求直

The mountains will not let dust fall, and the rivers will not let go of their abundance. Wisdom moves in a circle, seeking straightness in the curve.

the first part comes from "Inspirational Poems" written by Zhang Hua of the Jin Dynasty. It means that mountains can be so majestic because they do not reject tiny dust; rivers and seas can be so vast because they do not reject small streams. The meaning of its reflection is that if you want to achieve big things, you must also do small things well. You cannot aim too high and do not do things because of small things. Only by taking things step by step and working steadily can you achieve success and achieve what you want.

In terms of human nature, it means that you should never do good deeds because they are small, and do not do evil because they are small! When it comes to learning, people who have strengths should learn. Don't think that these strengths are worthless just because their bright spots are small. Only by being able to discover the strengths of others can you enrich yourself and become stronger bit by bit.

AND WELL ISN’T THIS XZ’s WAY OF LIFE? He is not afraid to give his all and do the small things to reach his goals.

“wisdom moves in a circle, seeking straightness in the curve" is an idiom, which means to describe a person who has clear goals and plans for doing things, and can flexibly respond to various situations without losing principles. while "Seeking straightness in the curve" means that he can respond flexibly in complex and changeable environments without losing direction and goals., being able to overcome difficulties and keep moving forward.

One of the reasons why i admire XZ! despite the chaos that is C-ent and what people expect from him — he does not compromise his principles 💪🏼 he has showed that time and time again!

FINALLY THE USE OF THE COIN. Which could mean different things but my favorite would be this one that points out how the last time he made a wish in the fountain using a coin. and now, he is holding it and doing these wonderful things again, like his wish has been fulfilled. He was able to come back and experience it again. 🪙

Okay so I've seen it a few times now and there are people who genuinely believe the Squid Sisters have the least content out of every group. I mean, I get forgetting Deep Cuts but the Squid Sisters do have as much as Off The Hook. Sure, OTH is starting to look like favorites now but the SS aren't left behind. Here's an itemized list:

They're in every main story mode. They have three whole games about them. The concept of story mode revolves around them. Just because they aren't proactive in them doesn't make it not count. Their quips and banter are what made us care and learn about them. It did flesh them out. They don't have to actively help to be main characters and receive development. The only game you could argue that is Splatoon 3 but it has a writing problem in general. It did close their story, subtle but interesting and well-written (for what Splatoon is), across the three games.

A short story. They're the only ones who have that. That has insane development, providing a lot of details about them. Like, that's a MAJOR thing that's lore-dumping so many things.

They're in almost every concert. They're in all but two concerts. They're canon too. This gives them a lot of presence in the franchise.

Lots of illustrations. Makes sense. Of course they are with how long they've been around. Still an important sign that they're a major part of the franchise (obviously, the main story is about them). It's always nice to see them in different situations anyways. They also get some lore out of them, fleshes them out and whatever. Which brings me to my next point.

Different outfits. It's not only giving us a sense of how they dress, but it's telling a story. Said it before but, for example, we know Marie likes dressing up for Story Mode and be a mentor of some sort. If you pull that string, you can get that she's someone who puts on a façade depending on the occasion and likes teaching/guiding people, her idea of mature and cool is a traditional outfit from her hometown.

Special Fest variants. Yes, they all do. However, the thing that differentiates them is that this is outside their game and, even though they were mostly reskins, they did get fully new outfits and hairstyles which neither other groups did.

Technically, they got a DLC. Even if it's the old hub and basically promo for Side Order.

They're in Smash Bros. That's not nothing. They're not spirits, they're full-on assist trophies. They better be in it honestly, but it's still something they have over the other two groups. It solidifies their status in the franchise.

Many songs, including remixes. Obviously, but they're also on the Splatfest list which never happened before outside of special events. They started it in Splatoon 2's Final Fest and started it in Splatoon 3's regular Fests. They're trend setters! Which leads me to...

Boss Fight. Final Boss, even. Callie started it. Literally. She fought us. The fact that she was The Final Boss™ puts her above the others. They wish they were her.

Solos. They did it first. They've also got not one but two mash-ups of their solos so it gotta count. I would argue that theirs are special too as they're meant to be solo pieces while the Anarchy Poisons are always put together be it on the soundtrack or the concerts. They were made to, and it's lovely, as Deep Cut's continuing the trend OTH's set: a united group that values each other and their work over fame. Their music is made to be together. Anarchy Rainbow and its Poisons is just that, something that's all of them, always. They were also fused in every live version, and the in-game live version, unlike Tide Goes Out and Bomb Rush Blush. These were forcefully mashed up as each sang over the other, desperately trying to drown out their will and win this fight. It's only now, years later, that they get an unexpected mash-up, joyful and harmonious —which in a way is a part of their story, them reclaiming this song as they bring their solos together. The Squid Sisters are working for themselves, they now do whatever they want with their careers and what they sing, how they sing, when they sing is up to them and only them.

They're the end credits of every game. Special mention to Splatoon 3 that just sacrifices its own idol group for them. Unlike Splatoon 2, Deep Cut was involved in Story Mode and for all the 10 minutes they spent in it, the end credits should have been theirs as they sure as hell didn't get a DLC. Their equivalent was a last minute addition at that, unceremoniously added later on without much spotlight. Jeez, they could have had a second collab song instead or something!

They've got the final battle song for every game. Makes sense because it's their story and their games, it's the culmination of their work every single time. Unlike the credits, they at least shared the spotlight with Deep Cut... Hey, if Marie's their boss, doesn't that make her a part of their group or vice-versa? She better be, she's the one handling their paperwork after all (poor woman, it's a mess too and they're not spending wisely. Shouldn't have been talking about becoming a manager, Marie, you're getting roped up in too much silliness and Callie won't help).

Participation in 2 Final Fests. By that, I mean actually having a team and representing it. Otherwise, they're involved in every Final Fest.

Merch. I mean why wouldn't they have some?? But it had to be added. Special note for the concert CD and special edition. I guess I'd put there the interview bit Marie conducted in Splatoon 3's soundtrack bonuses. That's another bit of trivia/insight on her work. The Nintendo Magazine interviews also count as they're relevant to their characters.

Their song is a major part of their world and franchise. Calamari Inkantation has a special place in the lore and the franchise. It's THE song but also THEIR song.

4 amiibos. They might not give their outfits (which I kinda like because I'm not fond of how they did it for the others) but they give out gear related to their story, the game, and that we should have gotten. At least they're fixing that flaw I guess.

Storyline during the Splatfests. Not sure if it should be added but it did culminate into long lasting conflict between the two of them and started their storyline. Since it's missing in Splatoon 3, I think it should be noted. It fleshes them out and makes them feel a bit more alive, like they're affected by the results.

Most of these could apply to Off The Hook too. My point is that the Squid Sisters haven't been neglected, not from Nintendo's point of view. They're more than included, arguably the stars of Splatoon 1 and 3. The thing is that Off The Hook is the fan favorite right now so most of our attention is on them, not the others. The Squid Sisters have also been so ingrained in the franchise that we're used to it. We readily accepted they would be the stars of Splatoon 3 because they took over most of Splatoon 2 until Octo Expansion. We assumed the other two groups would get DLCs, or that Deep Cut would be involved in OTH's like in the Main Story, only to realize that Nintendo didn't give a damn and gave the spotlight to OTH alone in an attempt to replicate what Splatoon 2 did. Obviously, once we got over Side Order, we kinda realized this was unfair and that there was favoritism. It didn't help that OTH was featured in regular battles and that Splatoon 2 and 3 handled Splatfests differently, with special events and work done to the idols. We've come a long way since the first game, which itself had changed plenty during its time, so it feels unfair that the Squid Sisters didn't benefit from what the others got or for as long. That doesn't mean they didn't get a lot and weren't the favorites for a long time.

Now, I'm gonna address the thing that made me write this in the first place:

They do have a story and development. Just because it wasn't in your face doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Up until Splatoon 3, the story wasn't as obvious as it could be when it came to the idols. Marina's background is clear-cut, because you cannot be too subtle about it, but apart from some big lines, it wasn't directly stated, nor was her development in Octo Expansion (it's heavily linked to Agent 8 and the Octavian but the fact that she comes to be comfortable in what species she is and overcomes her fear of being found out and rejected should count as a story). She's fascinating and it's important to the world.

But that doesn't leave the Squid Sisters flat and boring. They had an arc! Them slowly resenting each other because of their time as Splatcast anchors, because they were always pit against each other, because of the way being an idol works, is a story in itself. It was bad enough to get Callie to free Octavio, who's a terrible, dangerous person as far as she knew then, and go to the Octarians, poor, underground enemies. The Hypno-Shades are more like heavily suggesting you to obey, we know that Callie had some sort of free will to put glitter, of all things, into their ink. She also was fully conscious of her actions when freeing Octavio, and we know this guy isn't a mastermind and world class manipulator. Marie wasn't doing much better, working a lot and being stressed. Fame drove them apart and broke Callie down to the point of going to people who wanted hers dead. She freed a war criminal. Once Marie saved her, mostly from her own despair, they decided to do their own thing. They didn't need fame or their careers. Family was more important. Tidal Rush was their solos crashing against each other, not listening and trying to sing over the opponent, until Marie blasted on a song that meant the world to them. The hymn of sea kind. The song that they won that fateful contest with when they were young, the reason why their dream came true. The song that they sang when safinf their dear grandpa, powerful enough to make Octolings give up everything and try to join the surface. A beautiful memory. Something that was theirs. And so they sang. Together. "I remember everything!" The innocent days they practiced for the contest, the terrifying ride to Inkopolis, the nervousness of their first Splatcast. But they were together. She wasn't alone. Marie had always been on her side. Neither of them wanted this. If it had been up to them, nobody would have compared them to each other. They wouldn't have been choices for their last Splatfest. It's a certain kind of cruel to ask which of the two teenage girls was the better one. Callie wasn't angry at Marie, she was angry at the system. She felt awkward, self-conscious, worthless because of her status as a celebrity, because she as a person didn't matter. Her comfort? Who cares. Take the photos, sing the songs, be careful to be perfect. She was overworked, isolated, and the only person she could count on was put in the same position and told she was a competitor.

Fresh Start is the two of them reconnecting away from show business. Going back to their roots. They stop being idols afterwards, they don't sing much anymore. They get their own careers. Callie slowly finds the strength to be in the spotlight after so long and goes back to acting, unlike Marie this seems to be more of her thing. Marie keeps on with her podcast, now using it to hype Callie up. Splatoon 3 even shows us that Callie is some sort of spokesperson, announcing that an Inkopolis stage will undergo reconstruction. She's rebuilding her career on her own and making it her own. The Squid Sisters, while some of the most people in the world, weren't recognized in the Splatlands. Sure, Shiver and Frye probably didn't give a damn about Inkopolis musicians but Big Man is a fan, he's even showed them their music, and he still didn't recognize them. They're known for their music, their names possibly for themselves. Splatoon 3 is the only game not to give them a story, even its details don't imply much. But the previous two games did.

It's a story of two girls who got famous too soon, too suddenly, and got eaten by showbusiness. It's two young women taking their power back and breaking free from the idol life. It's a family that managed to heal from the damage fame caused over the years.

I dunno but I think it's beautiful and I'm a sucker for stories that criticize being an idol and family coming together. The Squid Sisters' entire thing was being idols, that's their entire concept, especially identical ones which is dehumanizing enough. It's fitting and not something you'd expect out of Splatoon of all places but it's the kind of franchise that gets surprisingly deep and dark in its smallest details.

No, they're not neglected or underdeveloped. Their story is there, just not as flashy as you'd expect. Their presence is something we're so used to that we don't clock it anymore, moreso when the other group gets attention too. Splatoon 3 didn't handle the writing well, as fun and silly as it gets, and it shows in a lot of ways. It's easy to go "so what was the point of the Squid Sisters being there?" when the story didn't bother doing anything with them for once but they weren't the only one neglected nor did they not get content in other ways!

[drinkabletoxicdishsoap]

Project Sekai x Fairly Odd Parents A New Wish AU? Why yes of course! WARNING: THIS IS SUPER EXTRA LONG!! BE PREPARED TO READ FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES 😭😭😭

Hazel- Hazel was one I struggled with! She’s either Saki or Emu. Emu’s story is that she is the daughter of the owner of Phoenix Wonderland, and grew up watching shows in the park. After seeing Tsukasa fail his audition, she hires him, along with Nene and Rui, to return the dilapidated Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu wants to perform on the small Wonder Stage and keep it alive, as it was her late grandfather's favorite stage. She was inspired to make others smile by her grandfather, whom she greatly looks up to, though he passed two years before the main story. I feel like this matches Hazel a lot! The passion and wants to make people smile. Saki’s story is that Saki was born with a weak body. Because of this, she was hospitalized throughout middle school. Her older brother, Tsukasa, took care of her during that time. At the beginning of the main story, she has become healthy enough to return to school. Saki is determined to enjoy her youth and experience all the things she couldn't while she was in the hospital. Due to this passion, she sometimes overworks herself and falls sick. Saki and Tsukasa's mother is a piano teacher. I feel like this matches Hazel by wanting to experience her whole youth and how her older brother took care of her. For the songs that match them I’d go with Once Upon A Dream and Stella.

(1 and 2 are Saki, last is Emu)

Dev- He would probably be in Nightcord at 25:00! His story reminds me a lot of Mafuyu’s! If you don’t know it, basically Mafuyu’s mom is a manipulative, overbearing mother who tried to raise Mafuyu into becoming a doctor, stopping her from pursuing her own dream to be a nurse, which caused Mafuyu to suppress her own emotions to please her mother's high expectations (I totally did not copy and paste this shhhhhhhh). Instead of with Mafuyu suppressing her emotions, with Dev, he lets out too many emotions if that makes sense!! Dale would probably really want Dev to follow into the family’s footsteps, ignoring Dev’s dream. (no idea what that is yet, honestly your choice!) The song that I feel like matches him the best is probably BUG.

Jasmine- Jasmine would probably be in More More Jump! I could see her being Minori. Minori is a girl who no matter what, won’t give up on her dream and encourages others to follow theirs! Someone who looks up to others. Minori has a kind heart and tries to be considerate of others. However, she is also clumsy, tends to get panicked easily, and often has trouble keeping her composure. She looks up to many of her friends and classmates and aspires to be like them (totally didn’t copy and paste this either shhh). I feel like this in my opinion, totally matches Jasmine! The song that I feel like matches her best is Angels Clover.

Winn- See with Winn, I was stuck. I know I wanted them to be in Vivid Bad Sqaud or Leo/Need, I just honestly didn’t know who they would be. I don’t know they would be and I’m still a little unsure 😞but I ultimately went with An and Ichika. An’s story is that she is the daughter of the popular former musician Shiraishi Ken, who now owns a popular live cafe & bar called WEEKEND GARAGE, where she sometimes worked. She hopes to one day surpass the legendary event he put on, called RAD WEEKEND. She has been surrounded by music ever since she was young, and began singing partially because she felt a natural connection to it, and partially because she wanted to be like her dad. She has a lot of connections in the street music scene, due to being Ken's daughter. I feel like this just honestly gives Winn vibes? I don’t know how to explain it 💔 For Leo/Need, I gave them Ichika. Although Ichika seems stoic at first glance, she is a quiet, modest, and kind girl who is always thinking about her friends. Adding to her kind nature, and despite her insistence, she is good at complimenting others. According to one of her friends, she doesn't always communicate very well. (I’m now too lazy to copy and paste this but here’s the photo that explains her more.)

I feel like this sort of gives off Winn vibes? Tbh it’s hard to assign characters to Hazel friends since we barely know anything about them and it’s so sad because they’re so silly 😞😞😞 The songs that match them best are probably Pulse of the Metor and Awake Now.

(1st card is Ichika and the 2nd card is An)

For the vocaloids, they could still be you know, be vocaloids, have them as fairies, or they could be Cosmo, Wanda, and Peri! Like Wanda could be Meiko and Luka, Cosmo could be Kaito and Len, and Peri could be Rin and Miku!

Anyways, here’s all of the songs and their lyrics in one video clip (5:21):

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR READING ANOTHER YAP SESSION, IT MEANS SO MUCH <333 I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT

[scrawdragon]

i want to take a moment to appreciate Yaelokre’s songwriting skills, as a songwriter myself. and not just songwriting skills, but also speaking skills. They talk like a medieval bard about to send you on a tale of luck, mischief, yet also terrible fortune, and i live for it, because its one thing to write absolutely fantastic songs, but then to go back and actually TALK how you write is FANTASTIC

anyways songwriting appreciation time (and yall im so excited for Song of Origins)

im only including one song here but all of their songs are so good and i recommend you all listen to them

anyways again

“Stuck in the middle of a forest made of Flesh and bones and they're all scared of A lost little boy who has lost his heart, Fear's not enough, they have to tear him apart

Follow the scent of iron sinking Deeper into corpses rotting But they can't hear you talk, talk, talk About every little thing, every little thing Every-

And the Hound is humming you, A lie, a lullaby

It clicks and it clatters in corners and borders And they will never Hear me here, listen to croons and a calling I'll tell them all the Story, the sun, and the swallow, her sorrow Singing me the tale of the Harpy and the Hare”

-from “And the Hound,” Yaelokre

(THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF THEIRS)

[eliteseven]

we meet again. this meetings purpose? as always…another consonance hc thingy.

side note i also hope u don’t find these annoying cause they honestly are just thoughts that pop into my head and you get the ones i think are “good”

anyways

idk about you but whenever i make a band au for something whether it be my fav fandom at the time or just my own oc’s- i usually make a list of like songs that they would totally do.

And lowkey- see Astral Prism absolutely smashing through a bunch of Radiohead songs, the one i’m thinking about the most is Let Down. Always been a favourite of mine and i just like love the very specific idea of Serena and Jen co-writing the song, and since it’s obvi Shads on main vocals, it’s her singing it.

But then, combining the tik tok accounts that i mentioned Shart having, except it’s Serena’s page this time. I can imagine it being only a few videos and half of them are how they wrote some of their songs. And this is the first time that people have really heard Tav sing- the only other time is really on backing vocals an all that jazz. The fans? Fall in love with just this version of Let Down, which i can just imagine jen teasing serena about re-recording the albums with Serena on main vocals and her just being like “but they sound perfect with yours.”

UGH rant aside. Their on tour, one of the last shows or the tour. Venue? Sold out. Fans? Pumped. Serena? Nervous as shit. Hotel? Trivago. Why is Serena nervous you may ask? Well well. If you don’t already know- during the bridge of Let Down theirs two sets of vocals as they essentially sing the same thing. And usually- it’s just a backing track as Shad takes the lead. But- what’s this? No backing track? Just the Raw music? The song plays, it’s amazing- it’s gets to the bridge. And when it gets to the part where the song goes “One day, I am gonna grow wings.” Serena takes leads vocals as Shads does the beautiful extended vocals in the background. Fans go fucking nuts for it. Karlach and Wyll go nuts cause they have no idea cause it’s funnier that way. Serena is struggling just a bit because they barely planned this, but any technical mistakes are being replaced by just the raw emotion she puts into her vocals as she’s still fucking killing it on guitar.

And Shart? Has to sing with her eyes closed just listening to Serena because she’s just going to get side tracked and forget to actually sing- dw, she watches replays of it on tik tok and instagram the next day. I think it would also be rlly cute if that was their first like public kiss is after the song where they are both puffed out from the extended vocals. The crowd roaring with cheers and shouts, only just barley starting to die down before shadowheart leans in and kisses puffed out Serena for just a few seconds- hearing the cheers from the crowd somehow erupt even more so. Shads pulling back to see Serena doe eyed, blushing, and then returning to her spot on stage as if not happened, announcing the last song of the evening and Serena missing her que because she was still caught up in the moment.

I sincerely apologise if this makes zero freaking sense. It is late and this is the most brain fart thing if ive ever seen one.

keep doing you boo xx

- anon

lol I loved this!!! 😭🥰 it was an entertaining read, absolutely no apologies necessary! I never find asks annoying. They are my fucking jam and I’m so excited every single time I see that little grey anonymous ball with the sunglasses lmaooo. It’s like getting to chat up my friends on my favorite subjects. Never apologize and never hesitate in my inbox pls. Its open for a reason 🥹

Now onto your lovely Serena vocalist HC:

Fuck yeah!! I love the idea of Serena being a shy but talented vocalist! And Let Down is great, I know exactly which part you mean!

It’s so sweet that Jen believes in her and knows her talent before anyone else does (even Wyll and Karlach- I can see their shocked expressions when she belts it out live lmfao). I think Jen would be totally supportive of the fans realizing Serena is as talented as she is.

The live show you described is soooo sweet and satisfying, and the moment is so climactic! Poetic cinema 🥰 the idea that Jen has to close her eyes to focus is so real, she’d be lost watching Serena accompany her like that. And the kiss?? 😮‍💨 still breathless, panting, so fucking proud of her gf that she just HAS to kiss Serena to let her know?? Holding their foreheads together for a moment, forgetting the crowd entirely, trying to catch their breath?

Serena missing her cue because she’s zoning out staring at Jen has to happen at least once a show lol. She catches up quickly and the fans probably replay that moment 24/7 afterwards 😅

I love it all!!! Jen definitely pushes for Serena to do more vocals after the fact. I love that she slowly becomes less and less shy around Jen as she warms up to the idea that she’s safe with her. They both grow so much because of each other’s support. 💕

current!harry x taylorrussell

Because if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you xx

"Tay I'm back. I brought you your favorite coffee!!!"

As he spoke, he packed his AirPods back into the case and placed his running shoes in the hallway. With an amorous smile, he walked with quick steps into the large living and dining area, hoping to run into his girlfriend, who preferred to stay in bed before his morning run. Hampstead was showing its most beautiful sunny side today, so Harry had spontaneously turned his little run into a big one. Taylor is still not a big fan of jogging, she prefers to enjoy the long walks with Harry. Even today, after a hot bath in the morning, Taylor decided to surprise Harry with breakfast. Just yesterday, they had gone shopping together and replenished their supplies. "Their" supplies - yes, theirs. Officially, Taylor and Harry weren't living together yet, but since Harry had finished his tour, they were actually spending every spare minute together. Hampstead and London are Harry's home and by now for half a year Harry was Taylor's home too. Not only for Taylor Harry was a home, also her little dog Root feels very comfortable in Harry's house. So her London apartment currently exists only for appearances. But for nothing in the world Taylor would have it differently or even want to trade it. Dreamy and full of thoughts, Taylor didn't even notice that her boyfriend was looking for her. But the music of her Siri-HomPod told him that his girlfriend must be in the kitchen. He listened and really had to smile, he recognized the voice immediately, even if it was not his own.

„Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there

The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air

It's hard

Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round

It's funny how things never change in this old town

So far from the stars“

The sight of his girlfriend almost made his heart melt, there she was at the countertop in one of his way too big Love on Tour shirts, a loose bun, and snuggle socks. It may have only been October, but Taylor was one who loved walking around in snuggle socks all year long. She was so in her element making the pancakes that she still didn't notice her boyfriend. And she was humming along to the voice of one of his now still best friends. He stood leaning against the doorframe, a sweaty strand of hair falling into his face.

"Hey sweetie, are you cheating on me?" He laughed.

Feeling almost startled and a little caught, Taylor turned around frantically.

"God H. I didn't even hear you come in. How long have you been standing there?" Quickly, though, Taylor's startled expression turned into a loving smile.

"Long enough to see that you seem to really enjoy my best friend's music. As lyrically confident as you are humming along to the song ..huh?"

With a raised eyebrow and a sly smile, Harry approached his girlfriend. "So ...yeah..I love that song. Even long before we met. You know?"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Harry quickly set the coffee down on the countertop next to him and pulled Taylor closer. She giggled. "Harry what are you doing" - "Well asking you to dance together"

"H you're still all sweaty" Harry shook his head. "I guess you'll have to go through with it now. I love that song too and I can't imagine anything better than dancing to it with you here in our kitchen."

„Because if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you

Drive highways and byways to be there with you

Over and over the only truth

Everything comes back to you

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room

Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you

Over and over the only truth

Everything comes back to you“

But Harry didn't miss the chance to accompany the song with his voice.

"Your voice to it sounds wonderful Harry"

"Thank you my Love. The song is really one of his best. I hope you know that if it's not my own song, I mean every word of it...don't you? I really can't wait for our future together."

He punctuated his statement with a sweet loving kiss. Smiling lovingly, Taylor nodded. "I love you too H"

"Speaking of ..Before we leave for Korea, we really need to meet up with Niall. You two really need to get to know each other. Amelia will love you"

"Nothing better than that"

Slowly Harry broke away from Taylor and reached for the coffee and held it in front of her. "Now drink your favorite coffee dear, otherwise it's about to be iced coffee" Gratefully Taylor took the coffee from him and tried a sip. "Oh even with oat milk" "For you always my Love"

Dreamily Taylor looked at her boyfriend. "Harry?" - "Yes?" - "You know you'll always be my number one artist and I love your songs to death right?"

Harry laughed. "I know Tay. I really can't wait until you see and hear HS4, because you're not completely uninvolved in that" Taylor grinned sheepishly.

Before Harry disappeared from the kitchen and hopped into the shower he picked up a quick kiss from her. There was a little pat on the butt at the end as well. "You look so sexy in my merch" Laughing Taylor shook her head. "You weirdo, now get in the shower ..or your pancakes will never be ready" - "I'm in a hurry".

Taylor smirked. "Siri, play Harry Styles Love of my Life on Apple Music" and yes, he definitely was.

Music Haul 05/14/2025

not that anyone will read this, but i wanted to share some of the cool stuff i found record hunting today! this was the culmination of three different record stores because one is never enough.

from left to right, top to bottom

They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul - 1989 (Vinyl)

Out of the three record stores I went to, only one had anything TMBG, and it was this promotional single for Flood with an Elektra sleeve. I quickly grabbed it from its hidden location in the back. I find it neat that it's a promotional single, and on the record itself it says "for promotional use only, not for sale," so I wonder where this vinyl used to get played at before it ended up at a small, Midwestern record shop. TMBG are one of my top five favorite bands, so finding any physical media of theirs out in the wild had me kicking my feet in joy.

Arcade Fire - Her - 2019 (Vinyl)

This is my all-time favorite movie. I've been seeing this one float around Barnes & Noble for a while at a ridiculous price, so I was ecstatic to have found the vinyl for a deal. a beautiful piece of minimalist piano that coincides perfectly with the industrial and technological world of Her. It changed the way I view love and human connection, and I'm glad to finally own something physical of a piece of art that fundamentally changed me as a person.

Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt - 2007 (Vinyl)

This is a reissue and remaster of the original 1969 album and introduced me to country music outside of the slop on the radio. I find every track so harrowing, and Van Zandt's vocals croon in such a way that makes my heart ache. He's one of the best songwriters to ever live, and what he makes country music is what people should know and recognize country by. For the Sake of the Song is one of my all-time favorite tracks. I ADORE this record. Joan Baez - The First Ten Years - 1970 (Vinyl) I found what I believe to be an original pressing of her compilation album hidden in a stash of folk music records underneath a table. After watching A Complete Unknown, I fell in love with her voice. She has incredible voice control and resonance in her tone, giving it sweet and addicting qualities. This album has a few folk songs I'm quite fond of, and I do think her cover of Don't Think Twice, It's Alright is better performed than the original version (sorry, Bob). The Devil and Daniel Johnston - 2005 (DVD)

It was a surprise to see this hanging out in the DVD section of a vinyl store. I do like this documentary, but I have a fair few criticisms on how it portrays Daniel's very real and very complex mental illness. It's by no means perfect, but Daniel Johnston is one of my favorite artists, and I think I was so shocked to see a physical version of this still floating about. There is nobody like Johnston, and there never will be. We need more unapologetic music in the world. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV - 1971 (Cassette)

This was one of the first albums I ever owned on vinyl. While it may not be my personal favorite Zeppelin album, it is undoubtedly one of their best. I remember listening to When the Levee Breaks over and over again on the bus in high school thinking I was hot shit. Excited to own this one on cassette! Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher - 2020 (Cassette)

I found this one used at a hick record shop, and we instantly made eye contact among the cassettes of corny 80's rock bands and heavy metal. The cassette is a slimy, translucent green color, which I find cool. Although I'm not as obsessed with Phoebe as I was in high school, her music has been formative for my coming-of-age journey, and I will never miss an opportunity to pick up a personal era-defining piece of art.
