Me having big emotions over a Rise character other that Warren and Hypno? It’s more likely than you might think!

Been thinking of Future Leo and an alternate universe of him jumping back in time with Casey Jr. I’ve got this song associated with him and it always makes me emotional and oh boy does it fit him (in my mind, at least)

[mc-was-here]

hi! it’s my first time requesting,i was wondering if you could do headcanons of the brothers with teen!mc who is a k-pop stan ,has like A LOT of posters of idols in their room and is learning k-pop dances. Thank you in advance 🫶

This is the CUTEST request ever omg!!! 😭💕 Also yay, first request! I’ll do my best!

Teen!MC who’s a k-pop fan:

CW: Platonic, Fluff

Lucifer:

-He has no idea about the music and has never heard of k-pop before until you introduced it to him.

-Major peepaw vibes, he’s clueless BUT he supports you all the way.

-When he walked to you room to see all the posters, he was taken aback but finds it super endearing.

-Speaking of him being an absolute grandpa, he’d try to indulge you to talk about it.

-He pointed out one of the posters asking “MC, this is Jungkook, right?”

-He meant nothing bad, he just doesn’t know the names and was genuinely asking. Please give him a break… 😭

-You stare at him blankly and correct him.

-He had a laugh from that and will tease you sometimes about it.

-He still has no idea about the music but will recognize the merch whenever he visits the human world and will get you something.

-He got a mug once, you still use it every chance you get.

-He caught you dancing to some tunes once in your room, and you kicked him out so fast.

-Will tell you about it and say he loves how your passionate about it and that you had nice moves! 😊

Mammon:

-He will try really hard not to say anything when he found out you’re a k-pop fan…

-He coincidentally bumped into your room and you didn’t notice since you had your headphones on.

-It was fairly loud and you were dancing by a mirror.

-Mammon clutches his chest, it was too cute.

-Now he wants in on it, so he’ll try learning how to do their moves too since he’s fairly good at dancing.

-He will bring up how he’s learned the same song you were listening to, and you immediately light up.

-Now by indulging it, he’ll practice with you in your room if you’re cool with it!

-You’ll be like “Oh wow, what a coincidence! Me too!”

-God forbid if you caught him accidentally going into your room.

-But it worked out!

-He does little gestures like when taking you to RAD, he’ll have your playlist on.

-Or you and the brothers go on a trip!

-He once brought you to a concert, you have very fond memories of that day.

-Don’t ask him where he got the money…

Leviathan:

-You like k-pop?!?! Omg him too!!! But don’t tell anyone…

-He invites you over to his room to lounge around and he has the music quietly in the background while you guys are talking or gaming!

-He’ll show you his hidden collection of merchandise.

-Exclusive clothing sets, albums signed, bottles and plushies of BTS characters because he finds them extremely cute!

-You get comfortable with him enough to dance when he’s around, he giggles and finds it endearing!

-Don’t ask him to dance though, he’s too embarrassed to do it around people. Even though, he is good at it.

-YOU were the one that caught him once, he passed out on the spot.

-No, literally he did.

-You never speak about it… 🧍

-Now you two can gush about it whenever you visit his room! Yippee!

Satan:

-He’s never heard of the genre, but now he’s curious!

-He loves your passion! So he’ll drop some books and magazines, and will do his own research.

-When he sees you dancing, he helps find you proper tutorials and will send you multiple links!

-One time, he had Mammon help to find you classes!

-He uh… “borrowed” Lucifer’s card.

-When Lucifer found out, it didn’t go well.

-BUT he allowed it because it’s you, now he willingly pays your classes. :)

-You and Satan run to the shops to get magazines and he listens and is fascinated by your knowledge!

-He’s a new fan, not a super fan, but he enjoys a few bands like Red Velvet and TWICE.

-Your psyched about it, and he’s happy to indulge you!

Asmodeus:

-He’s a huge BLACKPINK fan.

-He has their moves memorized.

-So when he sees you’re a huge fan seeing all the posters in your wall? He’s excited!

-Will actually be the one teaching you dance moves!

-You approached him once and spoke about learning how to do your favorite band’s dance moves, and he takes on the teacher mantle !

-Asmo calls you his number one fan as you improve your skills! 🥺

-He’ll be taking you to a few concerts! You go at least three times a year.

-You both have an album of memories you made of your classes and when taken to concerts.

-He brings you albums, makes sure to gift them to you on holidays, birthdays and special occasions!

-You have a big shelf of your growing collection. 💗

Beelzebub:

-The way he found out was when he was looking for you to invite you to lunch.

-He didn’t think a lot of it at first, until he started to see the variety of merch you wore.

-Beel asks out of curiosity one day, and you explain to him and show him videos.

-He’s really happy that you have so much passion and knowledge for it!

-Any chance you get, you give him an ear piece and you both take a listen.

-He doesn’t know much about k-pop but he can name some groups from what you’ve told him!

-One day he brought the idea of a cafe with meals themed after your favorite group!

-They made a small school event after Diavolo’s approval, and everyone loved it!

-Beel ate all the dishes they had in the menu…

-Of course, there was music too! And each of the brothers that were hosts were dressed as idols to match the aesthetic of the event!

-You had fun, and was touched by the idea that Beel thought of this for you (and his stomach…)!

Belphegor:

-Belphie found out when the music was too loud for his liking, he could hear it from his room!

-He slouched out of bed and trotted to your room with a grumpy look.

-You swore everyone was out besides Asmo, but you thought wrong.

-You were practicing Set Me Free by TWICE, and midway you jumped out of your skin when Belphie opened the door with a pout.

-He was taken aback by your reaction, soon apologizing and explaining how it was hard for him to sleep with the music in the background.

-You apologized as well, but he wasn’t as upset as he had a bit of guilt.

-He told you it’s okay and that you could continue doing what you were doing with the music lower.

-After that day, whenever you two are lounging around, you put your earphones on and at times he grabs a piece to have a listen too.

-He let’s you talk about your favorite groups, and doesn’t mind it!

-He once got you a hoodie as a way of letting you know he is listening. <3

Sorry for the lateness but hope you liked it, friend! 🫶

I had fun writing these, even though I don’t know a whole lot about k-pop either but some songs are cool! 😊

[prince-less]

I KNOW THE SONG WALLY IS SINGING ON THE DUET PAGE.

HI. UM. Sorry for the sudden Welcome Home post, but this arg has been plaguing me and my roommate all fuckin day.

When we got to the Duet webpage and listened to the singing, I felt like I knew the tune but couldn't place it. It wasn't until i was driving home while listening to it again that I finally bit the bullet and looked up the only word I could parse from his singing:

Beautiful Dreamer

Low and behold, it's literally the name of the song he's singing. He's shaky in voice, but it's the same tune and listening with lyrics pulled up makes me parse it even better. He's singing Beautiful Dreamer by Stephen Foster, but it sounds most like the Bing Crosby cover of it. It matches best with how Wally sings it.

Now, after figuring that out I went digging on the song itself and it's meaning. Apparently, a lot of Foster's songs are tunes about young dead women. This is no different. This song is described as, and I quote, "a lover serenading a 'beautiful dreamer' who is oblivious to worldly cares and may actually be dead."

HEY WHAT.

NO PERFECT IDEA WHAT THAT'S INSINUATING, BUT IT HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING RIGHT?

I have no clue if this has already been found out, but it made me so excited to finally figure out I had to share it. If it hasn't been figured out yet, yippee I unearthed a dinosaur !!!!!

Anyways, super excited for this arg and of course go support @partycoffin and the Welcome Home team !!!! Everything is absolutely stunning and im ready to get digging when the next phase comes out :]] !!

Here's a link to their Ko-fi if you're interested !!

[elliegoose]

got tagged by @annunakitty in a thing! yippee tag game!

now the tag game was to introduce yourself with:

one tv show

one movie

one album

one video game

however, i'm doing two for each category! why? because i'm cute and special and get to change the rules, of course! and also because i'm really enthusiastic about sharing my favorite things with people.

tv shows: adventure time & scavengers reign

not being able to pick between these two shows is the reason i'm doing two for each category. adventure time is my all-time favorite show hands down, but scavengers reign took second place (overtaking russian doll, which previously held that rank) when it absolutely blew me away earlier this year. i've watched it twice now and definitely plan on giving it a third watch sometime soon.

movies: i saw the tv glow (2024) & suspiria (2018)

as someone who repressed my gender really hard throughout most of college after flirting with transitioning in high school, this movie really spoke to me. i've seen it twice now and found a lot of value in the rewatch. i definitely want to watch it again at least one more time. this is an incredibly profound movie that has changed me as a person.

on the other hand, suspiria (2018) is an enduring favorite of mine for a very silly reason. it is a straight up good movie, but the actual reason it's my second pick for this post is that for like a year after first watching it, i kept seeing the mangled bodies of characters from it as sleep paralysis hallucinations. it was terrifying at the time but i find it incredibly funny to look back on, and think very fondly of this film in general. i got to rewatch parts of it for free irl! thanks, sleep paralysis demons!

albums: feather river canyon blues by pigeon pit & kudzu, devour everything! by levees

for two years now, feather river canyon blues has very unambiguously been my favorite album of all time. it's lomes oleander's bold, dense, imagery-filled lyricism at its best, backed by the full band that her voice deserves playing alt-country sounds that strike the perfect balance between gentle and energetic. it's simultaneously desperate and hopeful, joyous and melancholy, and at every moment filled to the brim with emotion and beauty. this album feels like watching every sunset at once surrounded by your best friends and loved ones. transgender folk music will save us. if you have to pick one song from this album to listen to, make it milk crates:

kudzu, devour everything! is the reason i started playing banjo. levees is a friend of a friend, and i was introduced to their music because said friend was praising this album in our friend group's discord server. i find levees' idiosyncratic manner of clawhammer playing--often very fast and full of non-traditional rhythms--to be absolutely magical. their songwriting is also excellent, full of vivid stories and characters sung about in prose that weaves effortlessly between the elegantly straightforward and beautifully dense. i also recommend listening to their album vultures, as well as quarantipilation volumes 1 & 2. it's actually not one of the songs that contains banjo, but if you have to pick one to listen to from this album, i recommend her/hymn/their, which won't embed for some reason but hey here's the link

(also, honorable mention to drink the sea by the glitch mob, which is the first album i ever really fell in love with, and which inspired little 13-year-old elise to grab a copy of ableton and learn how to make music myself. until feather river canyon blues came along, i would have probably picked drink the sea for this post.)

video games: signalis & mice tea

first off, i cried at the end of signalis! while streaming! it was really, really good!!! it has a delightfully dreadful atmosphere, great story, very interesting worldbuilding, phenomenal art style, and excellent character design. plus, it was great for practicing my german. i strongly recommend signalis to anyone who likes survival horror.

second off, yes, i am choosing mice tea, a transformation fetish visual novel, as my second pick here. judge me all you like. i stand by my choice. its story is fun! the characters are excellent! its humor and conceptual ridiculousness disarm you and make way for genuinely emotionally impactful storylines! it has a lot of interesting commentary on gender! it almost single-handedly turned me into furry! also, it's hot! go play mice tea!

now, finally, it is time to tag! don't feel pressured to pick multiple things or provide explanations like i did! i just enjoy doing more than is assigned lmao. tagging @rotten-spaceymage, @birras0, @citrusuprising, @roboticvenusian, @femboty2k, and anyone who sees this and wants to do it themselves!

[cosmo-shell]

Hi, hello, I'm sorry for barging in unexpectedly, but I just wanted to tell you that your and @slug-ball's ideas about Emma-May/Stan have bewitched me body and soul, and I maaayyyy (read: definitely) have already sketched some stuff and outlined a lil au fic idea for them 😳💖💖💖

Not sure if you've ever heard "Feel Again" by OneRepublic, but I listened to it again recently and it fits them SO well imo, like, verse 1 = Stan's POV, verse 2 = Emma-May's POV, then of course the chorus = both together and I just AAAAAAAAAA I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAA

Even tho we know very little about her, I feel like Emma-May's narrative is almost as tragic as Fidds' is, and I wish we could get more info about her and I wish she wasn't such an ignored/forgotten character and uuuggghhh it's so frustrating. BUT I can really see potential for a pairing of her and Stan cuz they're both such damaged, hurting souls and the idea of them coming together to help each other heal from their respective trauma is just so *chef's kiss* to me, hhhhhhhh 😍 (Also I just feel like Stan was MADE to be a step-dad figure, lol.)

If you ever do make an Emma-May playlist or an EmmaStan playlist pls tag me or link me cuz I'd love to listen! And if/when I finish up my drawings and fic stuff with them I will def give you and @slug-ball shoutouts!! 😉

Nah dude you're good lol

Yippee I'm so happy that you're becoming a Emma-stan enjoyer cus there's like 5 of us and WHAT⁉️ A FIC ⁉️ I CANT WAIT TO READ IT OH MY GOD 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤩🤩🤩🤩

I never listened to the song but I did read the lyrics and yea it's them core :3

And REAL I wish there was more of Emma in canon like I wanna know stuff from her perspective, her personality, her thoughts on the whole situation, etc so yea 😔

And it's so annoying that when people think about the ship, they're all like "lol Fidds can't catch a break cus Stan is with Emma haha" NO‼️‼️ THERES MORE TO IT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT FOR MORE THAN 3 SECONDS 🤬🤬 THEYRE TWO PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HURT THEN WHEN THEY GET TOGETHER THEY HEAL THROUGH EACH OTHER BRUH 🤬🤬 (being a Emma-stan shipper in a fiddlestan world is hard 😔😔 I think it's just they don't care about women or something idk) (and yes I love that Stan would he a step dad to tate)

I don't have a playlist about Emma but I do have a Emma-stan playlist but there's not that much stuff in it

And I can't wait to read the fic yayyy ‼️

Lucas and MMC Guilty as Sin? Analysis

When I first heard this track it immediately became one of my favorites on the album, the lyrics felt very forbidden love/star crossed lovers and so my brain made the connection back to EAA. I felt a lot of the lyrics could relate to Lucas’s route from his perspective, and the more I listened to the song, the more sure I was of it. Please enjoy my no doubt senseless yapping. I’ve decided to break the segments up into “themes” where I’ll include the lyrics and my thought.

Here’s the link to the song if anyone wants to give it a listen: https://youtu.be/OOYlWF6V8t8?si=R5QBsL-ANQ6F27Fd

Also shoutout @megatraven for hyping me up on this I’m sorry it took so long😭

CW: The lyrics being analyzed contain blatant sexual themes (idk if that’s a concern for this fandom but figured I’d include it)

The first section will be focused on Lucas’s duty to the crown

My boredom’s bone deep

This cage was once just fine

Lucas was born out of necessity, his father needed an heir. He was raised being told he would inherit a kingdom, and it never registered for him that he could be something else until MMC asks him what he would want to do with his life.

I dream of cracking locks

Throwing my life to the wolves

Or the ocean rocks

Crashing into him tonight

When Lucas is with MMC, it’s the first time he’s allowed to consider a life outside of being king, to turn his back on it and live with the love of his life in the lighthouse by the sea (also insert obligatory wolf joke with Ezra)

Am I allowed to cry?

This line makes me think a lot about that one scene after the battle with the Warlock where MMC tells Lucas that crying doesn’t make him weak (I cried). He’s being unconditioned from his harmful upbringing through unconditional love and while it may scare him he trusts MMC enough to be vulnerable with him (I could write an essay on that scene alone but I digress)

He’s a paradox

I’m seeing visions, am I bad?

Or mad? Or wise?

He’s never felt such strong devotion towards someone and it makes him question everything he has learned

This leads me into the next section, a focus on his relationship with MMC in his first two seasons (the pining/situationship stages, if you will)

I keep these longings locked

In lowercase inside a vault

Someone told me

There’s no such thing as bad thoughts

Only your actions talk

Lucas feels obligated to make his quest against the Warlock his priority and is guilty over his feelings for MMC, making excuses for himself to justify pushing his feelings aside

These fatal fantasies

Giving way to labored breath

Taking all of me

We’ve already done it in my head

I swear I remember there being a line where Lucas admits to fantasizing about MMC (i wanna say season 3? I’ll have to check). Anyway, the notion of “fatal” fantasies is pertinent, they’re all consuming, his feelings for MMC are all consuming and “distracting”(😏) him from his quest

I keep recalling things we never did

Messy top lip kiss

How I long for our trysts

Without ever touching his skin

How can I be guilty as sin?

This line could go either way for them tbh, it feels like their mid season 2 situationship era, the knowing glances and stolen kisses while avoiding the question of what it means (Alexa play Casual by Chappell Roan /hj)

Of course, they’re able to work through these issues (yippee). But when passion and infatuation becomes love and devotion, they have a new warlock to face: their contradicting futures

If it’s make believe

Why does it feel like a vow

We’ll both uphold somehow?

Despite their destinies leaving them in separate realms, Lucas and MMC are determined to make their love and the time they have left together last (even if they feel less hopeful for their future)

What if the way you hold me

Is actually what’s holy?

Lucas is left wondering if being his father’s heir will satisfy him as much as his relationship with MMC does, making him question where his loyalties lie

If long suffering propriety

Is what they want from me

They don’t know how you’ve haunted me

So stunningly

I choose you and me

…Religiously

This is the scene in the rose garden (another scene I could write an essay on). Lucas’s realization that he never wanted the throne, finally making the choice to live with the love of his life in the lighthouse by the sea (good for him)

ANNNNDDDDD that’s what I got for you! I’m trying to be better at not letting stuff sit and collect dust, but I hope this was worth the wait! And even if it wasn’t, I hope it brought you some enjoyment. I would love to do more of these at some point (and hopefully with much less delay)

YIPPEE!! Modern FnC AU:

Chip cooks a lot. He's really good at it, and he cooks Gillion meals all the time. He takes note of what Gillion seems to like and tries to perfect those meals

Gillion once listened to Chip's "fun playlist" and absolutely HATED it (it was too hyper for him), but he keeps listening to it because all the songs remind him VERY MUCH of Chip

Chip often takes Gillion down to the beach, and they walk with pinkies linked on the sand near the water

:D <3

I’m SOOOOOOO normal about themmmmmmmm

I also now consider this all canon to the Fools Gold universe, just btw

Tuesday Again No Problem 7/16/24

I wanted to scan something but my printer decided it didn't want to communicate with my computer anymore, so I've spent the greater part of my evening wrestling with it. Yippee.

Listening

This was a very podcast-heavy episode for me. In particular, I listened to the Worst of All Possible Worlds’ episode about Heavy Rain:

It’s a good episode. Pretty funny, give it a listen. I don’t have much to say about the episode itself, but it did remind me of an encounter I had a few years ago at work.

A woman came into my workplace about half an hour before we closed. She was a little strange, but nice enough. She and a friend sat down in the nearly-empty lobby and began having a conversation, which is fine, they’re allowed to do that.

This woman then proceeded to talk about her love of astrology, and how she was convinced that her love of the city of Paris was because she is the reincarnation of French royalty. She loves Paris so much, in fact, that she wrote a song about it, and her friend should totally listen to it. It’s on Spotify. (I looked it up. It has, like, 50 listens. It’s not good.)

She then started giving her friend advice on her love life, and the two started going into…. very graphic detail. I won’t reiterate it here, but it did make my coworkers and I exchange baffled glances, because we were sitting like 10 feet away in the process of closing and could hear literally All of this.

At some point this woman mentioned that she’s an actor and started bragging about her acting career, and mentioned how she did motion-capture or something on a game called Heavy Rain. I immediately looked her up on the Heavy Rain wiki, and she did indeed match the picture, and her social media did in fact link to that horrible song on her Spotify page.

Anyway. TL:DR; this podcast reminded me that I had an encounter with one of the…. eccentric… cast members of Heavy Rain. Which I guess means I am now (just barely) two degrees of separation away from David Cage. And that fact haunts me.

Watching

I re-watched a bunch of Strange Aeons videos this week. Favorites from this week include:

The Portland Polycule from Hell

The Birth of Superwholock

A History of Blingee

Playing

Fallow, again. :(

Making

I continue to have very little free time (and the free time I do have is usually spent recovering from the fatigue of work), but I have found the time to draw a little.

I posted a few artfight attacks, and I also updated my ask blog.

I'd like to at least draw a few more artfight attacks before the end of the month. Nothing too crazy, but having an excuse to draw other peoples' OCs is fun.

---

That's all for now, I'll check back in again next week.

[sankttealeaf]

OOH 26 and/or 29 for the fic writer asks maybe?

hehe of course!!! answering these fic writer asks !!

26. Share your favorite detail

even if u had no idea that orin is the one to betray rue/the dark urge, theres one key bit that gives her away when she's masquerading as gortash & that's calling rue "sweet rumour". orin's the only person to use that term for her (mockingly, of course) and she lets it slip when she's pretending to be gortash. (i had to go through and check to make sure no one else had called her that just so that one line in that one scene would work)

another fun thing that never actually happened bc i changed the order, but in the chapter "consequences", the pov order goes orin, rue, gortash & is the first chapter directly after rue defies bhaal's wishes and gets punished for it. i was going to have that specific order come up again in the betrayal chapters but it didnt make sense in the end with how i ended up writing them. (final version was rue, orin, gortash instead. rip gortash ur always last)

29. If you made a playlist, talk about the songs on it and share a link

fic playlist!!! yippee!!

originally this started as a "chronological" version of my bigger ruetash playlist but then i gave up on that pretty quickly & just started adding songs that meet the vibe of the fic. idk what counts as fic vibes vs general ruetash vibes. dont ask me. i just Know

notable Good Songs That Sum Up The Fic:

on your side - the last dinner party

codependancy - orla gartland

drops in the lake - lord huron

i usually listen to it when writing because its a little more tragic than my other ruetash playlist which is perfect for these later chapters :')

[phoenixisobsessed]

Hey again! Was thinkin' about music (as one obsessed with music does) and I was curious what you were into! :D

Genres, bands, albums, any songs specifically you recommend to me or anyone else? Any small bands or underrated songs you think could use some love?

Also, do you own any physical music? Vinyls, CDs, tapes, something more obscure? (Reel to reel/8track/etc)

And as a little bonus question, favorite transformers soundtrack? (Which show/movie/game did you think had the best (in your opinion) theme/backing tracks)

Well…Heh…I am one of those people who say they like everything and then hate on a bunch of stuff. AHSBHAV no that’s a joke, but it would be easier to say what I don’t like rather than what I do like. I don’t like the specific genre of pop that is Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, and most just popular pop songs, I guess? Like I DO like pop but not that kind of pop. I also have a thing that I need my music to be at least a little loud and energetic because most calm music (like lo-fi) stresses me out (don’t question me.). But I’d say my most listened to genres are metal, rock, hyperpop and electronic (in that order).

I have a really hard time PICKING OUT things for this reason but I’ll give you a screenshot of my most recent added songs to my playlist because those are usually my recent favourites. 2 sec hold on.

Alright there it is. I also just realised I said that like I was texting somebody and having a live conversation but I’m not changing it now.

If I’d have to say anything, I AM IN LOVE with Jay Ray’s stuff. High recommend. I think Jay Ray is big in the tf community though so UAGEUA. If I had to mention like one thing I have that I actually think may not be listened to by many it’s BREAK by Jimmy Here. I wish that song was longer because that scream it has in the end is BANGER. (And yes that is the “it is wednesday my dudes” guy. Yes I watch his videos). Six feet under by kissin’ dynamite is also recently one of my favourites. Can also, ALWAYS, recommend infected mushroom. Specifically “becoming insane” and “The Pretender”. Imma just list some more that I like rq

BOOGIE - BROCKHAMPTON

I could go on but we could be here for days guys I’m stopping myself here. And I also recommend every single song in the screenshot. YIPPEE.

I’d like to link you to a previous post where I mention some artists I listen to: here

The problem is that I’m a song listener. Not an album listener, not an artist/band listener. I find a singular song I like, add it to my playlist, and move on. AHBSHA My friends hate me for it. And for that reason I also have no physical music. Only a bit of band merch from my absolute faves (Slipknot and mother mother hehe)

And now I must admit…an EMBARRASSINGLY big portion of the songs on my playlist comes from the Bumblebee movie (and it’s not transformers media, but some of the songs on the screenshot are from THE FUCKING FALLOUT SERIES (it was banger)). AUEHUA They aren’t originals so I’m not gonna count it as much BUT THE SONGS FROM G1…OH BOY YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG. Those are mf BANGERS. We need to go back to rock songs in animated kids movies. I have “The touch” on my goddamn playlist and no I’m not ashamed about it. I also have jort storm by Slimecicle because I’m a gunky goober who wears jorts.

SORRY IF THIS IS OUT OF NOWHERE BUT I listened to A Hundred Million Suns like you recc’ed in my tags a bit ago, and u we’re right it does have good songs :D but WHY IS THE LIGHTNING STRIKE 14 MINUTES 💀 anyways I wanted to let u know I listened to it and liked ur recommendation so ty :3

- @sheepie-self-ships 🦇

YAYYY it's one of my fav albums from when I was in highschool :D !!! (tourist history by two door cinema club is another good one that I've been relistening to LOL)

SBDHDJL FOR REAL THAT ONE SONG IS SO LONG, i wish they'd split it up into its three separate-ish parts because it was rough using a CD player to skip to certain parts dhdjdkl, but tbh the only part i usually listen to nowadays is this first part ⤵️

(linking it for anyone who is curious) it feels like the sort of song where u lay in the dark and stare at the ceiling while listening fhdhdkl

THANK U FOR LETTING ME KNOW U ENJOYED IT I'm so glad :] YIPPEE !!!

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, what are the smiths?

Alright another infodump by meee yippee

(So um I’m really tired rn but the fact that I haven’t answered this yet is eating my insides rn lol, so instead of an infodump masterpost where I just infodump basic knowledge to indoctrinate the asker into the same special interest, this will instead be a link post with some helpful links to answer the question)

But I will answer the question myself by saying that The Smiths were an Alternative, Indie 80s band from Manchester. They actually inspired quite a lot of bands including Radiohead, Blur, Arctic Monkeys and even MCR. They lasted from 1983-1987 and had four albums in total(excluding compilation or live albums.

Group consists of four members( pictured below 👇):

Going from right to left here: we have Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, and last…but definitely not least….Morrissey.(…is it just me or he does kinda look a bit like post MCR breakup Mikey….i think I read somewhere that Mikey is a Morrissey fan…soo yea ima leave that there)

Alright well I’m gonna leave the info to a couple videos and other informational posts, bc honestly I’m a bit tired and the hyperfixation is more of a “let’s listen to the same songs over and over again and watch the same interviews over and over again and look for the same content over and over again.(a lot of repetitive stuff but hey I like it like that😀)

Now this post goes way more in depth than I have. It’s got a lot of info on band history, group members and their whole personalities and stuff. I think it even goes into solo works and stuff, but it’s really simplified and kinda of interesting.

There’s also this video that basically sums the band’s history up

So i recommend checking both of those out

Now as for music I can give you some recommendations for where to get started

You should totally start with their hits. Stuff like Heaven Knows I’m miserable now, There is a Light that Never Goes Out, This Charming Man. Basically just any “essentials” or “hits” playlist of The Smiths you come by.

For albums(disclaimer I haven’t listened to every album fully through yet). Probably start with The Queen is Dead. It’s really good and I’ve had it on repeat for quite awhile.

Alright well I will leave you there to do your own exploring. Once again love to answer any questions you may have during your research, don’t be afraid to ask.

hi!!! hello hello!

i've not read obbligato myself yet, nor am i well versed in the characters, but i've heard that you are The Obbligato person, (hopefully i'm not wrong?) so i was wondering if i could get your thoughts on something?

there's this song i was listening to recently and i feel like it might be a pretty decent like, like song that would follow what oremeru thinks about of tatsumi from his old revolution days- or something. might be super missing the mark but yeah i thought it matched kinda what oremeru's thoughts about tatsumi are like??? (not what tatsumi was Actually Like though)

song+mv | fan translation of lyrics in english.

(hopefully the links work)

anyways~ hope you have a great day!!

First of all, if you don’t mind me being obnoxiously prouful of being called “The Obbligato person”, you came to the right place! This is a 0 days since last thinking about Obbligato blog, so thank you very much for sending me an ask! Yippee even.  Also. Briefly noting that I’ve never listened to this song before, but I ended up liking it lotsies. Shoutout for bringing new music to my Vocaloid playlist o7 [one last minor note is that I usually tend to use Kaname when talking about kaname tojo and HiMERU when talking about oremeru specifically, when diwscussing the two. thought I should clarify that]

Okay, back to the main topic of the ask. I do see your vision oh so clearly re: how HiMERU would see Tatsumi and his revolution. Especially in ways it affected Kaname, who, as far as HiMERU is concerned, was a victim of it (and my extention, of Tatsumi, who mislead him etc etc like a cult leader would mislead his followers etc etc. There is a discussion to be had about HiMERU projecting the guilt he feels, - for not being close to Kaname before, not knowing what was going on until it was too late, - on a person who *was* close to Kaname. But I think I am going off-topic with this). 

Even if you analyze the song beyond the general theme of “religious leader ends up persecuted by their own previously deeply loyal followers”, I can see how you could connect it to the Reimei Revolution, and Tatsumi’s role in it.

“Fourteen, both God and the priest shall be treated as one and the same”

This was how people treated Tatsumi, wasn’t it? He became an unreachable, infallible, almost God-like figure to them. He would hear out your problems, he would make your wishes come true. He loved everyone, and he loved everyone equally. Even Jun called the meetings Tatsumi had with his followers in the Catacombs a cult. 

“It’s the march of blind believers, they flock together and go Everyone, everybody, they’re seeking for a “life””

“I take people’s life away, devouring even those wishes of theirs”

As HiMERU himself said, in his old Obbligato line, “No matter how much you praise Tatsumi, you’ll remain the same in his eyes” (Ship of Fools - 1, tl by @/hyenahunt). From HiMERU’s point of view, Kaname became one of Kazehaya’s “blind believers”, throwing away his life, - metaphorically, refusing the easier route towards becoming the idol he dreams of being for the sake of joining the Revolution in the end, and, as it ended up, literally, ending up in a coma. And even if you touch on the “devouring even those wishes of theirs” part… “What is it you want? What is it you wish for? Money? Work? Fame? Affection? Peace of mind? Whatever it is you ask of me, I will grant to you.” (The Devotion to Tatsumi Kazehaya - 8, tl by @/hyenahunt). Tatsumi would hold out his hand for the suffering people around him (Jun even mentions at some point him often talking people out of suicide), would promise to make their wish come true and then bend over backwards to do so (usually with zero regards for himself in the process). Those people would follow him, with almost religious fevor, fuelling the revolution machine, which would then turn around and plow through Tatsumi and Kaname all the same.

“It’s the rebellion of the fanatics, they flock together and go Everybody and everyone, they flock together and die The saints cause incitement by reciting the scriptures [...]” 

「In his last moments, I honestly feel sorry for him. I heard that it was quite gruesome.」

Idk why I typed all of that, to be honest, you literally were the one to recommend the song to me, you see all of this already. Sorry. Blacked out and ended up with 600 words on my hands. Again, thank you so so so much :3c
