Why are parxies so afraid of calling waterparks "pop rock"
it's more of the term "pop punk" they're afraid of because of ~connotations~ and the fact that they aren't really anymore but once you start getting into local music scenes you stop caring about genre labelling unless it's to impress other people - iz
#example: you can loosely say waterparks is an emo band#like dude ik waterparks isn't 'real emo' music i just associate them with that scene bc of their fans + influences + people they hang with#genre labelling only gets worse when you get into more niche sections of music#like do you think a casual rock listener can tell the difference between screamo and skramz (they are technically the same)

The ask about venti and a reader who sings dark stuff got me thinking:
How would venti, a bard who usually sings calm and soft songs, and zhongli, the definition of a classic gentlman, react to sneaking into their S/O's concert and finding out they play loud screamo death metal. I say sneak in because I imagine the S/O thinks they wont like it. Can be separate or poly depending on your mood.
I just finished my essay! I’ve still got art to do but yahoo!
I also pulled Yanfei yesterday but idk if I wanna build her :|
Anyway hi, I’m doing this monogamous cause I feel like it :)
omw to play genshin now
Pairings; (Seperate) Venti, and Zhongli x reader
Warning(s);
Keep reading under the cut!
Venti
“I’m off!” you announce to Venti as you leave the house “You’ll probably be home before me” you smile kissing the mans cheek and leaving the house
Venti knows of your occupation but doesn’t really know much about it, you’ve never bothered to invite him to your concerts on the count that you’re sure he’d never like something as harsh as your music
Though more recently your music has been the chatter of the bar, especially when the patrons start discussing your new song about love. Those who aren’t from Mondstat are often discuss the curious love interest that you sing about, so count his interest spiked
So not five minutes after you leave the house Venti runs about getting on a new outfit fit for a metal performance.
And with new outfit in tow the bard finds himself in the back of your concert listening to the pre band
Venti can understand why you didn’t think he’d like the atmosphere. There are so many close, sweaty bodies. Not the kind of place that people tend to find the bard.
But Venti is in his element, so much so he’s found himself in the mosh pit a little while before your band even comes on
“Good evening Teyvat!” you yell into the mic, the crowd erupts in a fit of screams and cheers, Venti feels a rise of pride in his chest “It’s time to rock baby!” you yell again erupting another fit of cheers and the distinct riff of a guitar
Your set is surely something. You sing so many emotions that occasionally between songs Venti finds himself getting whiplash from the rapid change of themes, but the crowd seems to eat it up
“Time for one more song!” you say into the mic with a grin “This one is dedicated to my life partner, so I hope you have some open ears” you add
The song begins and as you sing Venti smiles at your words that touch his heart. While his way of music may be seen as traditionally seen as romantic, Venti thinks he’s never seen something so romantic before
After the set Venti is immediately leaving to phone you
“Hey Venti whats up?” you answer
“Am I interrupting anything” he asks, he hears the shake of your head over the phone
“Nope” you pop the p “Just finished my set”
“Well in that case come out to the band entrance”
“Kay!” you hang up the phone and rush out through the band entrance. There’s a few people about but most notably Venti is there with a grin and waving at you. You run up into him and his arms
“What are you doing here sweetie?” you ask kissing the bards cheek. Venti giggles
“Hm, well I popped in and watched your set” he smiles “You’re amazing by the way”
“Huh, I. . thank you baby” you grin giving Venti another few kisses
Zhongli
“Later love” you smile to Zhongli “If Xinyan breaks in tell her I’ll teach her in the morning” you tell him waving as you leave
“Stay safe love” he tells you waving you out
Zhongli is very aware of your profession in the metal but hasn’t really had the guts to show up at your place of work. That and you’ve never given him an explicit permission to join you while you work. You’ve mentioned it in passing but never anything explicit
Zhongli can’t help but get his interest piqued when the talk about Liyue revolves around your music. So today he’s built the courage to turn up unannounced
Zhongli leaves a note on the side for Xinyan, a protégé that you had adopted into the home a year or so ago, just to pass on your note
Zhongli arrives at the venue and immediately makes a b-line for the back entrance, with a flash on his pass and a charismatic conversation Zhongli is in and ready to listen to your creations
The music is loud, loud in a different way than how Opera is loud. Loud in a beautiful white noise kind of way. Zhongli loves it more than he thought he would, probably because you’re singing
Zhongli sees the crowd that you’re singing to, he notices the mosh pit and the casual listeners who enjoy just jumping and headbanging along to your music
He’s very impressed at the crowd you draw in. It makes him proud of you
Zhongli spies a few familiar faces in the crowd and smiles softly
The archons eye falls to you as you scream into your mic and boy does Zhongli smile widely to himself
He’s never found a moment where he’s more whipped for you, doing what you love in front of people who are here to cheer for you. To yell for you. Maybe if Zhongli wasn’t such a refined gentleman he to would find himself in your crowd
“Thank you so much Teyvat! You have all been dope as fuck!” you yell before bowing and jogging of the stage
“My love that was quite the performance” you hear Zhongli from behind you causing you to jump
“Zhongli what are you doing here?” you ask with a smile and a kiss on his cheek
“Thought I’d see what my fiancé does for their job” he confesses looking into your eyes “It was amazing” he adds
You giggle “Thank you love” you grin “You should have said you wanted to drop by though” you add, Zhongli shakes his head
“I got to surprise you instead” he smiles
“He really is a keeper [name]!” you hear the bands bassist yell from behind you
“That he is, that he is”

rfa+saeran react to a metal singer MC
yoosung
he’s a little shocked, partially because it shatters his perception of what a metal singer is.
he would expect a metal singer to be rude and loud and inconsiderate of others, yet here you are - a kind and considerate person who helped him so much
he’s not very into metal or screamo, but he will still play your songs on discord for all his friends to hear and he will still brag about “look!! there’s my awesome metal partner!!”
always attends your concerts if he can, where he stands out like a sore thumb (probably wearing fan merch)
jumin
in the end, jumin is absolutely not a metal guy.
he views it in a similar way that he sees cup noodles or other “ordinary”/middle-class things; with apprehensive fascination
that all being said, he’s willing to give it a go
you invite him to come to one of your concerts - and he does, in full suit and done hair (the tabloids will have a field day with this one)
afterwards, he tells you it was an “interesting” experience and compliments you on your apparent success
he is positively willing to sponsor your career, but other than that, does not draw much attention to your occupation
jaehee
jaehee views metal as a little crude - she’s definitely more of a ballad/pop person.
that being said, in her earlier, more rambunctious years (especially right after her mom passed), she tended to listen to more angsty music close to metal (e.g. rock). therefore, she knows of the genre and doesn’t necessarily mind it
so when she hears your music, she’s ultimately very supportive - only a little surprised since she assumed you would have similar music tastes due to your shared love for zen.
she would absolutely collect your albums, recordings of your performances and merchandise just like she does zen - but might not listen to them in the same way
gets a little concerned for the well-being of your throat, however - considering all that screaming you do, so always makes sure you’re resting your voice
has probably done extensive research on how to care for your voice on top of all this
zen
as a musical artist, he is definitely in the know of different genres and has dabbled in multiple different bands. he’s certainly not unfamiliar with metal music.
so his first instinct is “oh, you’re a musician too?” closely followed by “wait.. metal?”
it’s not what he’d expect, but he’s not disappointed.
considering how you work on different spectrums within the same career as singers, you often end up switching tips when it comes to developing one’s voice
karaoke between the two of you has never been so powerful before
would absolutely do a collab, even if it’s not part of his built up image or what he’s used to -- he likes your music and would be proud to be a part of it.
v
he doesn’t think of it at all
he’s an artist to his core; he’s seen a lot of art through his life and yours does not shock him any more than anything else he’s seen
he supports you just as he would have if you were a ballad singer; there’s no distinction between his behaviours
that being said - it is a bit of a contrast to the innocent person he first knew you as - but he also know one’s art does not always have to be a reflection of its creator, so he never really asks
707
he knew from the start and it was surprising to him that a public figure had appeared like this into the chatroom. however, it also put him at ease.
he may make jokes about you being a metal artist from time to time, randomly exclaiming such things as “woaw!!! MC is so hardcore!!”
he would also do his makeup in a more "metal” way - in accordance to whatever style your band has - makeup, clothes and all
in fact, probably cosplays you as an artist at some point
but beyond all that - he supports you wholeheartedly and happily plays your music in the house (even to your embarrassent)
bops to it when you’re not around, too
saeran
saeran... is not that familiar with music. the culture around it, what pop is, etc. of course he was exposed to it as a kid, but in his adult years he never had much time to listen to music.
he does know what a singer is though, so when you explain to him, the metal part goes over his head and only the singer part is processed
“that’s nice. you’re so amazing MC, you can do anything!”
it was more casual than you’d figure it’d be, but don’t think of it.
one day, you ask him for opinions on this newest song you’ve been writing. you play it and his face is quite unreadable through the experience - but there’s a smile on his face.
at the end, he immediately compliments the song and your singing, but it’s closely followed by: “but... why are you yelling so much?”
you end up having to explain metal and you play some of your favourite songs from the genre
he ends up a mega-fan. sure, he doesn’t like how loud it is, but he loves it because it’s something you share now
very supportive and doesn’t think of you any differently

🎶 what song makes you think of your muse (One for each)
OMG there are too many songs to list here for them! I’ll try to pick ones I’ve listened to recently that made me think of each character. It’s by no means a list of their “theme” songs or anything, just something that made me think of the character. Please enjoy!
Argonas - Always Something There to Remind Me by Naked Eyes
This is one of those songs where the tune and lyrics are mismatched, and that’s something I’ve always enjoyed! In this case, the melody is catchy and positive, but the words tell a story of pain and loss. And there’s plenty of that in Argonas’ story as of late! Lyrically, this song speaks to how the Vindicator feels having survived his beloved Sinafay ( @sinafay1 ). He spent so much time with his love, weaving her presence and existence into his daily routine. And now, in her absence, the memories are a constant reminder of what he’s lost. It points so strongly to their situation, that I always think of it the instant those introductory wedding bells chime.
“I was born to love her, and I will never be free... you’ll always be a part of me.”
Avehi - Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie
Obvious title aside, this song makes me think of Avehi more and more as she becomes comfortable in her own skin. She used to lament her undeath, but now that she’s accepted what she’s become, she’s moving forward and getting on with her life... so to speak. This includes engaging in some of the activities she enjoyed when she was alive again... if you catch my drift. But truly, Avehi’s fought against becoming a monster for a long time. And now, with how her story’s going (and how it’ll likely shape up in Shadowlands) she’s starting to see undeath as far more gift than curse...
“Blood on her skin, dripping with sin, do it again, Living Dead Girl!”
Bey’ron - The Man by The Killers
What’d you expect it to be? Bey’ron Everblaze most assuredly thinks very highly of himself. And few songs I’ve heard recently portray such confidence and narcissism fitting for such a quintessential elf! His arrogance is legendary! His self-aggrandizing unrivaled! He’s a god among elves, and he’ll happily let everyone know it.
“They kiss on the ring, I carry the Crown. Nothing can break, nothing can break me down.”
Brent - Look at Me Now by Reveille
This sleeper classic still pops up in my playlist from time to time, and always makes me think of Brent. Brent’s story is one of history repeating. All iterations of his transformations have followed a formula ; trapped in a cycle of mistakes that he’s constantly trying to outrun. The line “He don't want it, but craves what he can't escape” rings particularly reminiscent of that conflict that sparked within him later in his story; his shattered faith and desire to move away from the Cult, and his dependent relationship with Nepen’thea, the Coterie’s Speaker ( @nepenthea ). Plus, doesn’t the angsty screamo just fit a velf rogue so well? xD
“...And still he worships that fundamental bullshit talk. ‘The path you carve yourself is the path to walk?' Now walk alone!”
Dahlyah - Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult
This classic song’s message is a lot of different things for a lot of different people, I know. But I feel it relates to Dahlyah whichever way people spin it. In her profession of hunting people down, it’s never anything personal. And dangerous as it is, she knows the consequences that could happen if things take a bad turn. But she doesn’t let either bother her. Don’t Fear the Reaper has that casual, upbeat tone for a generally upbeat Dwarf. A the lyrics convey a message both to Dahlyah and her quarry;
“Seasons don't fear the reaper. Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain. We can be like they are. Come on baby, Don't Fear the Reaper.”
Gattius - Rise Today by Alter Bridge
Ah, yes. A wholesome Christian rock song about making the world a better place! Fitting for my boy Gatto! He’s an altruistic soul, as those who have interacted with him know. So compassionate! And that compassion started him on both paths his life has taken; to become a doctor, and to become a protector in the form of a Blood Knight. His life’s work has been to help his people, and that’s expanded beyond just his elven kin. Regardless of faction, race, or belief, Gattius has seen to helping anyone he can!
“Seems to me that we've got each other wrong. Was the enemy just your brother all along?”
Grakkar - Warriors of the World by Manowar
Grakkar’s retired, sure. But his story is that of a mighty warrior! And this song is basically any true warrior’s anthem! I first got turned on to this song by a friend of mine named Droz. It has such presence to it, that it stands out to me for any warrior archetype character, including my Warsong Orc Grakkar! And this one’s a War Song if ever there was one!
“ All are gathered here... victory is near! The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all!”
Tyrellius - Strength of the World by Avenged Sevenfold
Looking back at the whole list really paints a picture of my preferred style of music, huh? Oh well. Between the phenomenal guitar riffs, this song tells a tragic story of a man who lost his family, and turned that pain into vengeance. So, too, has Tyrellius lost a lot over his many years, and turned the pain of that loss into vengeance for his people. He’s taken many risks, walked paths that should’ve led to his demise... giving all he can to make sure no one else loses people the way he has. He still endures,
“Avenge the dead, kill all who cross me in my path. Suicidal, I never planned on coming back.”
Thanks for the prompt @syrielle! This was a fun one! ^^
