I love being dramatic. because why would you deal with any emotion in a logical way? when you could have the option of absolutely losing your mind

[not-over-heaven]

you & i

[steviebellgirl]

why would you ever kiss me?

i’m not even half as pretty

you gave her your sweater

it’s just polyester

but you like her better

i wish i were heather

“i still remember 3rd of december,

me in your sweater, you said it looked better

on me than it did you, only if you you knew…”

I dmand EVERY picture of CJ you had drew!! Pretty please

Considering I'm super disorganized about my art and don't post everything I draw (sometimes it stays just in my server or among friends, or I just don't show anyone because it's unfinished/I'm unsatisfied), I'll have to find a lot of stuff that I've forgotten about.

Actually, I can just show some stuff that I *haven't* posted! (Everything else I ever have should be here.) Some of this stuff is Krow before I added the white hair because I didn't have that idea until around April.

^ Appropriately titled "Krow Smug Bitch". Everyone has fun with the cowboy AUs so why can't I?

^ He got nervous about seeing Usagi/Yukito I suppose

^ This one is interesting. Originally it was supposed to be just Krow as a magical boy, but then it turned into a bit of a mythology AU. He's the son of Yatagarasu the Three-Legged Crow from Shinto myth. Wasn't quite sure about everything... this was probably the result of watching too much Kamichama Karin as a kid lol

^ For fans of Transformers - TFP Optimus Prime with good ol' canon CJ! I feel like they would get along. Something about that red-and-blue leader drew him in I guess.

^ This was actually my first pass at an older version design of Krow. This was a complete piece too, but I was unsatisfied within a week or two. You can still see that I kept some things, notably the piercings, beard, and the idea of tattoos, as well as the Leo-inspired shoulder pads. The tattoo designs changed and so did the armor color, but it was an interesting first try at the older design.

^ A second attempt and older Krow, I was getting closer. (Still love the fashion on this though.)

^ The point I realized that I can't draw this man thin and have to start drawing him beefier and more filled out more consistently because it would be a crime against god or something. Was still finalizing his tattoos at this point and playing around with the idea of white hair. Considered the idea of the Hamato crest tattoo near his heart before nixing it because it's too cheesy and the Hamato tattoo is something a lot of people do for older/future character designs.

^ Ninpo weapon design for Older Krow! Yes he has a cyan scythe (really more of a kusarigama since it has a chain and weight at the end). Yes it's cool as fuck. No you can't touch it.

He's basically a reaper and it plays into his whole aesthetic as a crow, which symbolizes an omen of death. Crows are also often seen with scythe and scarecrow imagery because they're related to harvests.

I don't know why I never posted this, it *looks* finished... I think there was something off about the anatomy and I intended to fix it and then forgot and ugh. But anyway! There you go.

^ A height chart for younger Krow and Yukito that I never quite finished. But it's interesting to see them to the actual scale that I imagine them to be - Krow is 5'6", and Yukito's height is reversed since he's 6'5". Since both are around 19 when they meet, they're at their full adult heights here. Long live your short king!

^ Older Krow with lightning gloves. Which doesn't make sense actually because his gloves are electrical insulators to keep himself from getting zapped from one of his attacks. But who cares about that! It's cool!

^ Scythe sketch. Just trying to get a feel for the vibe of how he wields one. His cape/cloak plus the scythe probably gives opportunity for some really cool directional flow to occur.

^ Something I doodled just the other day. Old Krow but more cartoony and goofy. Love this silly guy!

I'm sure there's many more that I've missed, probably lots of half-finished sketches and doodles, but this is a lot of what I've found.

a comprehensive list of conan gray lyrics that remind me of the raven cycle:

first of all ronan lynch coded lyrics:

just ronan pinning after adam, being jealous of blue (ofc had to include heather) also wish you were sober is so ronan lynch coded like???? getting drunk? check. ripped jeans? check. acting tough but is not really that tough? check.

even the kid krow album cover is so ronan lynch !!!

also i haven’t properly listened to found heaven yet but the theme of having religious guilt as a queer person is so ronan lynch.

next we have some good old ronan x kavinsky homoerotic rivalry:

just to confirm i do not ship roninsky at all #pynch4ever but i do enjoy reading about insane gay people #representation

now for some bluesey:

the lyric from the cut that always bleeds always reminds me of the “why do we breathe air” scene from trk and the killing me part is obviously very bluesey

ronan and gansey being bbf goals:

this lyric is literally from the song “Best Friend” and always reminds me of the time they went to buy orange juice at like 3 in the morning

my fav adam parrish:

family line is adam’s song and i literally think of him and cry whenever i listen to it

this is very adam to gansey coded

and omg whenever i listen to this part from memories, the image of ronan standing outside adam’s apartment above st agnes comes to my mind!!!!!! something that we sadly never got to see in the books :((((

gansey the iii:

summer child is SO gansey. putting everyone else’s feelings before his own, not wanting to be a burden and the imagery of him laughing under the sun, searching for his king, wading through beautiful cabeswater, a seemingly “loftly, unknowable Virginia princeling” but in reality harbouring so much sadness and responsibility and through it all knowing that he was gonna die so soon

lastly, lyrics with trc vibes:

the themes of growing up in a small suburban town, dealing with trashy rich kids, getting high at parties, etc throughout kid krow (and even sunset season) are very reminiscent of the raven cycle aesthetic

and i think that concludes it!

congrats on making it to the end

you win THIS

Reviewing Conan Gray’s Never Ending Song

The Lyrics

Like many of his songs, the lyrics deal with a relationship that isn’t working out. Like the title suggests, the relationship is never-ending.

Before I go into if I like the lyrics, let’s go over my interpretation. The most obvious point is that this relationship won’t give up. Even if Conan tries to “turn the page” the relationship goes on and on and on.

Although Conan mentioned trying to end the relationship, there also seems to be a need for it to continue. The relationship took so much out of and from him, like his adolescence, that giving up would be a waste. It’s almost like they’re already in too deep and this cycle has trapped them. And to be honest, I love it.

The lyrics are great. I’ve said it before, but lyrics are what sell a song to me and I’m sold. They’re relatable and well-written lyrics. Like many of his songs, the lyrics make the song ten times better for me.

Favorite Lyric(s): “Tried to turn the page, but our story wasn’t stoppin’”

The Aura

Conan went for a new feel with this song. The stars are the most iconic part, I would say. It almost gives a vintage rockstar kind of feel.

In terms of the music video, I loved the theme. The dancing in the grocery store at night just added to the vintage feeling I was getting. That might not be the intended feeling to be felt, but it was there.

Overall, the aesthetic and vibe of the music video was a lot of fun to watch and cute.

I have to say, the deeper, almost-British voice isn’t my favorite, but it doesn’t ruin the song at all.

Compare & Contrast

The song is new for Conan, mainly because of the lower voice. I would say the aesthetic of it is pretty new too, with the stars, yellow, and black. Regardless, there’s still that iconic Conan Gray flair to it.

The lyricism is typical Conan. I can imagine them being sung the way his other songs are. I can imagine hearing these lyrics on the Kid Krow album or Superache album. They’re great.

One song it reminded me of while listening was Telepath. They both have a retro feel to them and some similarities in meanings, too. I would say that’s the most similar past song.

My official rating for the song is:

✬✬✬✬½. This song is going to be never-ending on my playlist these next few weeks.

this was way easier than beabadoobee because 1. i know these songs better and 2. conan just has less songs. damn i thought he had more

lu’s spotify library - kid krow, conan gray

we were all plunged into quarantine together the week this album came out. it seems fateful that i wrote kid krow alone in my bedroom at such a deeply lonely time in my life; yet somehow it brought so many of you newly into my life. connected all of our bedrooms together through our phones with these songs. thank you for listening to the secrets i had to tell. thank you for showing me i’m not insane for feeling how i feel.

[inmybook]

Say what you want but Conan Gray's lyrics are the bane of my existence. Captures emotions others are ignorant to write about.
