#ive been in the mood to make some playlists lately

[zeawesomebirdie]

I finished the zero draft of the Hawkeye/Radar fic!! Im gonna attempt to work on one of my other wips now, but omg omg it still feels so good to at least finish something!

[arolesbianism]

Rabbit au Olivia has been slowly taking over the entire oni playlist and I've tried slowing it by cutting songs that I don't care for much but it's not helping much at this rate she's going to make up a third of the playlist while canon Olivia is still stuck with like 4 songs

[bronzetomatoes]

Well once you start you can't stop I guess.

Under the Cork Tree / Fall Out Boy / fav track was Of All The Gin Joints in All The World

Conventional Weapons / MCR / fav track was Boy Division

Pussy Whipped / Bikini Kill / fav track was For Tammy Rae

In Utero / Nirvana / fav track was Dumb

as part of my new years resolution to listen to at least 2 new albums a month, i must say The Bends by Radiohead goes hard and my favourites are My Iron Lung and Bones

[moonstruckme]

im sooo late to this sorry ive been so busy with college but big big congrats on 5k!!!!! ur fics bring me so much joy so thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

make popsicles - send a character + scenario/mood and I'll make a short playlist

this might be really niche but songs youd sing to remus or play in your apartment/place after he comes home from a full moon and he cant sleep and youre trying to calm him down

No need for sorries my love, thank you and I hope your assignments are going okay! Def some repeats in here but oh well if the shoe fits

nothing's gonna hurt you baby - cigarettes after sex between the bars - elliott smith gospel - the national corduroy dreams - rex orange county tapestry - bruno major sweet creature - harry styles in a week - hozier to the mountains - lizzy mcalpine pretty boy - the neighborhood savior complex - pheobe bridgers like real people do - hozier

[puppy-phum]

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up then tag 5 people

thank you for tagging me hilsie @hils79 ♥ for some reason tumblr didn't give me a notif for this but i saw it anyway :'D

-

these are all from the playlist i listen to the most. it contains 20 songs that i currently want on loop in my brain all the time, every day. been changing it up a lot lately, tho some songs also hang around for longer periods.

here's the random five:

I. Firework – &TEAM

been on this playlist for a longer while now. puts me on a good mood ♥ i have no clue about the artist otherwise but i should maybe check out their other songs based on this bop hmm

II. I Don't Care – LAY

happened to get notified of lay's new music the other day (psychic just came out, it's a banger) and went through everything i'd missed during these past years. there were couple of others i liked too but this one stood out to me.

III. Screen Time – Epik High ft. Hoshi

i've heard this one before but my discover weekly threw this at me some time ago and i got hooked. the vibe somehow fit my spring mood and the title feels like a huge call-out 😅

IV. Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

ever since last twilight happened, my playlists have been filled with linkin park. one song always hangs on this playlist too (i've changed it a couple of times). currently this one feels adapt bc it's the bg song for the credits screen in the first twilight movie (am writing my thesis about twilight, the book) and i also wish to make (another) morkday edit for it so it's like a reminder.

V. แค่คืบ – Satang Kittiphop

i will never move on from the slow dancing scene in ep 8 of last twilight. that one was so perfect, truly my dream scene. and i really adore this song, and satang's voice, and i just hope we get more gays slow dancing in the future tyvm

🎶💖 and 🤗 for your ask game please ^^

hello! hope you’re doing well today ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

🎶 do you listen to music while you write? what songs have you been playing on loop lately?

yes! i usually listen to some kind of music when I write. I have some series specific playlists i made while working on bigger projects like ctsav and my cerulean gaze series, as well as character specific playlists I sometimes turn to if I feel like i need a little extra inspiration. If not those then it’s probably lo-fi music or whatever I’m in the mood for at the moment. I’ve been revising my cerulean gaze playlist lately because I’m actually currently working on a lil bonus fic set in that au im hoping to have out by touya’s birthday, which has a lot of the neighbourhood songs on it (they’re also one of my favorite bands).

💖 what made you start writing?

Honestly it was mainly two things, and that was wanting to create content i was looking for but couldn’t find and also processing through some of my own personal traumas. Writing has always been a form of therapy for me in some way, but there’s just something about fic writing that especially helps. Maybe it’s because I’m also sharing it but, and I don’t know if other people necessarily get the kind of catharsis out of it that I do while I’m writing it, I like to think that perhaps there are some people who’ve read my fics as a form of therapy. I know I definitely have some fics ive read by others that have helped me in ways I could’ve never expected.

🤗 what advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

I feel like I’ve seen people give this advice a lot but it really rings true for me so here it is: write what you want to write, not what you think other people want you to write. Even if it seems niche or oddly specific or whatever, if you have a passion for it that’ll shine through and become apparent to your readers. Also read a lot of fics by different writers/just read a lot of books in general too, figure out what makes your favorite writers’ work so special to you and figure out what you can adopt/learn from that. Also don’t worry too much about making everything perfect. This is something I’m constantly reminding myself of as well <3

Get To Know The Author

name : Kay

pronouns :  she/her

preference of communication : Honestly I have a huge preference for discord. I don't trust tumblr IM to actually alert me. Ive recently learned tumblr has been eating my asks too. If I don't reply to an ask or DM me PLEAS reach out to me. I will NEVE outright ignore something. If I don't think something is going to work for our muses I will reach out to you. 

most active muse :  Kat is my loudest and most demanding. After that would be Her brother Kass, Feyre, and then our spotty maybe I'm here maybe I'm not - Emmett.  

experience / how many years : Ohhh boy. I've been doing the rp thing off and on since 2010. There was a five year chunk in recent years where I disappeared for a bit but the lovely @sharpayevcns pulled me back in a few months ago and I am so appreciative that she did. <3 

best experience : Discovering the people here that make me feel safe enough to obsess over threads. You guys have absolutely made my return to tumblr. If I were to delete my blog with nothing but my connection with you guys to show for it - Well I would be absolutely fine with that. You guys are amazing and will absolutely be tagged in this. 

rp pet peeves : I keep running into situations where I get heavily invested in plotting something (Drawing, writing head cannons, making playlists, planning cannon events. . .I literrally brushed up on a whole ass language for a plot) Only to have those people completely leave me on read. I am not a pushy partner in the least. I would be more than happy to wait a month for a reply. But I need communication. I need feedback if something doesn't sit right for you. I need reciprocated enthusiasm. You don't have to show It the same way I do but I need some show of enthusiasm otherwise it just feels uncomfortable and I feel annoying and restrained. That's not what I'm here for. I've honestly made the decision to start unfollowing people based on a three strikes basis. No hard feelings. I just don't want to follow anyone who doesn't bring the same energy I do. 

fluff, angst, or smut :ALL OF IT! While I'm becoming more and more selective about who I write smut with I LOVE writing smut ESPECIALLY if its born of post Angst fluff. Actually almost exclusively. There is nothing that gets my muses motor going like post Angst Fluff! 

plots or memes : Augh! Don't make me pick. I love Plotting but sometimes nothing really gets the juices flowing like memes do. I cant tell you how many times a simple meme interaction help set a pivotal point in a plot. ALSO- Memes are usually what help me forego my shy nature. While my muse outwardly gives NONE of the Ducks. . .I do . I give all of the Ducks so memes help  me loosen up. I'm not responsible for the haphazard neuroSpicy creature you meet once the shyness has fallen away. You've been warned.

long or short replies : It depends on my mood and attention span. There is a Adderall shortage right now so I have only been taking my Adderall on work days so Ive had a VERY hard time focusing o replies as of late. When Im on top of my Game I am LONGWINDED AF .Please don't ever feel like you have to match me because there are times where I will write you a novel and we were only supposed to be writing a sentence or two. It just happens and Im sorry.  time to write : Ha! um . . . Well I work Graveyard  Thursday- Saturday from 8PM-9:30ish AM (PST)  On slow nights I do write here and there but for the most part I can be found here pretty sporadically. If I have something going on during my weekend that I have to be a daytime person for then ill be up during the day time. OTHERWISE- Mostly evening and spooky hours . 

are you like your muses : I could draw some parallels with each of them but I dont think I am like any of them.

On Stray Kids' FNF

The song was already on my "songs that might make me cry (depending on my mood) playlist," but with the video, I'm now a sobbing mess

The song was written by Chris and Felix after the bushfires in 2019-2020 and the feelings of loss of so much of the native environment of their home.

I was okay until it cut to Seungmin riding a bike and enjoying being outside.

I miss outside. I want to be out exploring and finding all sorts of plants and animals I've only seen in photos. I want to run along a trail and climb over rocks and ride down a river again.

I want to be able to take photos of things I find beautiful. I want to be able to sit in the park and paint the scenery like Hyunjin. I want to explore new cities and sit outside at a cafe like Lee Know. I want to read a book in the sun like Felix. I want to have fun with my friends on the beach.

I started having trouble keeping up with my friends' activity levels when I was 12. If I tried to run and climb and keep pace with everyone else, I'd go into bronchospasm. I started getting left behind. When I was struggling to climb the stairs back up Tallulah Gorge at 13 years old because I couldn't breathe, one friend lagged behind to stay with me so I wouldn't be completely left behind.

I was treated like I just didn't do enough in my free time. Like I just wasn't outdoorsy or just didn't try. It didn't matter that I loved animals and the science of nature or that if you gave me access to a pool I would spend all day in it. It was my fault that I couldn't breathe or started to feel sick or started having difficulties with heat that would make me nearly pass out even though I had the same activity level as most of my friends and drank the same amount of water or more or ate the same amounts of food. It didn't matter that I met getting launched from a raft or stuck at the bottom of a waterfall with laughter and eagerness to get back on the river. It didn't matter that I always wanted to see the snake or the bug or the weird thing someone found in the woods.

I just wasn't "outdoorsy."

When the outdoors makes you sick, its easier to not be outdoorsy.

In Japan I had more chance to be outdoors again. I still struggled to climb up the "easy date outing, women in low heels, and children can gmdo it mountain," but I figured that was because I was used to the flatness of Tampa and Middle GA, not mountains.

I was able to go to parks and enjoy the outdoors a little more over time because I was walking all the time. I did get a little more heat acclimated, but I also knew how to correct for the amount I was sweating and could control when I got into air conditioning more than I could at a band practice. Running still wasn't an option (I pretty much stopped running outside of emergencies at 13 because of the bronchiospasm) so I couldn't play soccer with my friends, but I could still cheer them on. I was unfortunately dealing with too much anxiety to do all the things I wanted to be able to do on my own.

I continued at that level of able to be outside and okay walking and at a casual pace for a while. I could do shorter, strength based work like carrying things across camp or setting up a tent, and I could walk for miles with just normal muscle fatigue.

Then late 2015 the ability I had started to fall away. I've been trying to get it back since then. Chasing after the ability I did have and longing for a life where I could just walk my dog around my neighborhood without having to plan the whole day around it. Wishing I didn't spend 75% of my time on a queen size mattress.

Ive been trying so hard. I've looked for any answer. Any remedy. Any experiment I can run on myself to try to claw some of my life back. Since November 2021, I have gotten some back. A tiny bit, but some. I have proper diagnoses. I have more science to try to piece together my medical puzzle. I've struggled with my body and my brain, trying to understand so I can try to make things better. I have a sleep study coming up that will hopefully lead to improvements. I have an experiment next week that could really help or it could be a really awful waste of time.

I'm trying so hard to catch up with the life I wish I had.

"I run and chase after you, even if it's impossible."

[patchdotexe]

i'm thinking of doing an animation meme myself, do you have any recommendations? :O

GOOD NEWS I HAVE AN ENTIRE PLAYLIST

(warning: some of these are loud and flashy or have blood and there's some with ableist language in titles. also there's some repeats because of variations)

it really depends on what kind of mood you're going for? you can kinda break animemes down into categories - there's the intense/edgy/angsty/ominous ones (Ping!, Avenge,Wake Up, I Need A Win), the cute/chill/sometimes romantic?? ones (Thinking About You, New Light,Feeling Down), and then the really energetic/bouncy/usually silly ones (Dinosaurs Go Rawr, Candy Pump, Chok Chok), but then there's also stuff like "is this built with multiple characters in mind, or for characters with certain features (eg wings), etc"

from there it's a matter of figuring out which ones look less complex / are more approachable for starting out, which is. probably the question you're actually asking me DFGHXLKDFHGLK so here is an arbitrary list:

NAMx (simple loop with effects, focused on expressions)

Beings (variations on same character)

i was gonna put Shelter here bc that was one of my firsts but the original appears to be gone now and its just the variation?? uhhhh

Blast Doors (simple loop with pose changes)

ITS OK (simple loop focused on expressions with more variation than NAMx)

Bad Vibe (lipsync focused so. probably not a good starter actually bc lipsync is hell. whoops)

Pop It! (simple loop without much effects, also hi i made this one years ago so i have a bias lmao)

and i am also now discovering exactly how GARBAGE youtube's search has gotten in the past couple years because it is genuinely getting impossible to find variations on certain animemes without wading through completely unrelated ones and im going to start biting

however out of all of that the most important part is finding an animeme that has a song youll be able to stand listening to on repeat LMAO. i used to look up "[song i like] animation meme" and go from there. also looking through what animemes animators you like make (eg ive been looking at Polar Summit's stuff lately) and going "oh this looks cool i wanna try"

but also like. in general. the animeme community has a really big problem with flashing lights / fast images / eyestrain. people have gotten better about warning for it but old animemes especially go all-in on it (trying to find a non-flashy version of Nice Day that was close to the original's pose/vibe last night was REALLY hard) so be careful when looking for stuff if youre sensitive to that :(

[27-royal-teas]

look ive been looping the light behind your eyes by mcr for the past HOUR and i am having so many emotions i cannot even COMPREHEND right now so i am going to ramble about mania because i have twenty minutes left in computer science class and nothing to do. this is complete word vomit i did not go back through and edit read at your own caution

the thing i really love about mania as a whole is the juxtaposition of the symbols it uses; its literally going insane. It seems kind and pretty and aesthetic on the surface but scratch the top and you’re falling into a pit of maniac despair. There are llamas and purple and the ocean and sure those seem peaceful and lovely on the outside but thats the thing theyre NOT its a juxtaposition. Its something beautiful combined with awful traits (never in my life did i think i would watch llamas stab pete to death but cest la vie i guess) and that just makes things so much more horrifying. The overuse of purple feels like a panic attack, or a point trying to get through. the llamas, which are a symbol of peace and royalty, are constantly used in a creepy/harmful way that really ruined llamas in general for me. Sunshine riptide is a fantastic song and i love it so much but its REALLY FUCKING DEPRESSING AT ITS CORE. AND !!!! the constant use of royalty as a pedestal!!!! purple is the color of royalty!!!! The purple llama’s name is Royal-Tea!!! LLAMAS ARE A SYMBOL OF ROYALTY!!!! Its like a motif idk i just think its so interesting. And then theres the song champion which is. obviously linked. 

As i write this my playlist hits me in the face with Calm Down and then Fake Out in quick succession its making me so depressed ajskfhewincn

mania is also a really interesting experimental album but the new elements are incorporated so flawlessly its rlly difficult to tell theyre new things that fall out boy hasnt done before. Also in this they add a lot of Black influences, like burna boy featuring on sunshine riptide (AUGHHHHH ANOTHER SAD SONG JUST CAME ON IM DYING INSIDE) and heavens gate is very soul influenced. but since i am not black, im just some random chinese american (i might as well just be white), i feel like whatever i say im going to get wrong and i really, really do not want to fuck up talking about cultural things, but i really do love how different cultures are peppered into this album and it just feels so NATURAL. Like for instance i also saw in the youtube comment section of hold me tight or dont that it’s kinda like salsa music? Im not positive i just thought id add that in there. 

My favorite tracks on mania are ranked as follows

Bishops knife trick (a true banger, ive talked about this already)

stay frosty royal milk tea (everyone likes it the least but it is a certified bop) 

Church (aaa)

Young and menace (my musical wife)

Sunshine riptide (everytime i hear it i want to scream. in a good way)

Heavens gate (ITS SO FUCKING GOOD)

Champion (i listen to it before i perform, every time without fail)

Last of the real ones (brings me back to radio memories from 2018. Very good)

Hold me tight or dont (idk if youve ever heard the spotify acoustic version but it SLAPS)

Like to be completely honest with you there is no way to reasonably rank these. Theyre all fucking great. Honestly i love them all so, so much. Mania has my heart forever i just kind of ranked them by how often im in the mood to listen to them

There is definitely more i want to talk about but now class is over so i am going to go pass out on the floor of my debate teachers room. im sorry this was incomprehensible. you find out too late i am insane

Find the song on Spotify or Apple Music:

Here are some quotes from listeners who enjoyed the track!

“this is the first song i have really liked. the rappers voice sounds alittle like the style of 50 cent. nice strong beat to the song. this is a song i could listen to again.. i would definitely add this to my playlists or workout mix.”

“instantly im intrigued, ive been on a lofikick lately. the organ and fade/echo effect is an amazing choice. its really lofi and faded type beat. i could play this at work and everyone would love it. its not too slow but just enough to vibe to. it sounds like 90s bone thugs n harmony”

“This hip-hop track brings the boom bap. The rapper lays down confident rhymes with a smooth flow, weaving social commentary or personal braggadocio into the beat. The production is tight, with a bumping bassline providing the low end and crisp hi-hats keeping the rhythm sharp. Samples or atmospheric synths might add texture, but the focus remains on the rapper's delivery. Skillful scratching or turntable cuts could punctuate transitions, keeping the energy high. It's a head-nodding experience that showcases the rapper's lyrical prowess.”

“Intro is amazing! Horns were awesome! Love the artists sleepy voice! I don’t smoke but i want to listen to this song while vibing out, laying in the California sun…and i live in Georgia! lol. I will be searching for this song on Apple music to add to my playlist!”

“The instrumentals are very defined and really adds to this song. The beat is fine and the rhythm is lovely. The artist is very talented. Sings very clearly and never hard to understand. The song is rich and gives great vibes. Very driven by motivation.”

“The instrumentation is very good. Its sweet, solid, and vibing for sure. Its so amazing, strong and theres a lot of talent in both the vocals/lyrics and musical background. Its very funny too with the lyrics and compassion thats here very obviously and brightly.”

“The voice is a delicate blossom, blooming in the garden of melody, enchanting our souls with its sweet fragrance. Lyrics paint a vivid tapestry of emotions, woven with the threads of brilliance and passion, creating a masterpiece that resonates deeply within the chambers of the heart.”

“Perfectly captures the warmth and comfort cozy music, transporting me to a place of tranquility and relaxation with its soothing melodies. like being wrapped in a soft blanket on a chilly evening and having a coffee with each note gently lulling me into state of calm at the same time cool”

a03 writing wrapped: 17, 27, 29, and 30! 💕

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

wen kexing from woh from zhou zishu‘s perspective! youve seen some of my descriptions of his hair and body language and quirks already!! hes a character that i love a lot and learned to love even more this year, and i kind of kickstarted my own characterization of him when i wrote that one let wkx be cringe! post :D i havent really written him cringey yet but it was important to my perception of him

also: zhou zishu from woh. i found out what i enjoy writing about him the most this year. mostly i write from his perspective for some reason, and many of my zzs versions tend to be very similar. i tried something new this year and it was really fun

27. What do you listen to while writing?

i have several playlist from other writing projects and three (3) playlists curated specifically for tyk. lately ive been listening a lot to taylor swift even though im not a taylor swift fan. there is just smth about her songs that make it very easy to slip away into a good headspace. though i need to be in the mood for it. sometimes i will listen to artists that are recommended to me or an artist‘s radio. i also really like spotify‘s recommendation songs function based on the playlist im listening to. but i dont always listen to music, i need to be in the mood for it. sometimes i just want to hear the words flow or the background noises from my place

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

im sure there are several! but one im very proud of and that kinda showed me that yes, i can indeed write! is this one from good things that lie in the hand:

"pocket knives are actually very good at lying in your hand when you close your fingers around it. they have a good feel to them, like stones. and they have ridges. while u trace these ridges u can imagine all the little, smart, brilliant things that are tucked away in that pocket knife‘s little body."

generally im very proud of the entire thing. its silly and whimsy and unpolished and perfect to me. it showed me that there are words inside of me that can and will flow effortlessly when im in the right headspace, that writing can and will feel good and fun, and that there is skill and a sense for structure in me even when im not aware of it

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

see the above lmao!!

but to expand on this, im wowed and proud to see the signs of my own growth. sure, i was more confident when i started out, im generally an anxious mess 24/7 currwntly which is Not Fun. but i understand things about storytelling and my own preferences and skills, my own style, now that i didnt before. for a very long time writing was just me getting a feel of being creative with words in this way again after i thought i would never be able to bear it ever again. my priorities have shifted a lot since then, which shows how far ive come

ask me writing questions about my ao3 wrapped!!

i was thinking about making a playlist of songs that remind me of my tc, but like pretty chill songs that’d you’d just listen to on a friday night with nothing to do but drink tea while it’s pouring outside...ya know that kinda vibe 

like this if you think i should- i have about 20 songs in mind...most of them will be female tc related (sorta) but i’ll try to throw some neutral ones in the mix
