#mary's song truther

[marysong-mp3]

where were you when taylor finally played mary's song

[titsthedamnseason]

i can’t believe the first city of eras 2024 is already over tonight but it is in fact time for tokyo night 4 🥲 of course we will be playing the surprise song game and taylor has been playing some hard hitters this week so please leave your BEST guesses in the tags or replies and i will give shoutouts to all of our winners 😊

my guesses tonight are going to be mary’s song and foolish one because i’m trying to imagine more ways for taylor to fuck me up ❤️

[supermantv]

four surprise songs in honor of killatrav tonight and somehow mary's song truthers still lost

[memories-feel-like-weapons]

Every week I think I have guesses for all three shows and every week after N1 I reevaluate 🙃

But for now, I’m thinking:

N1: gold rush/Ronan (so: no theme/Eagles/Maya)

N2: Mary’s Song/seven (7/childhood/home state)

N3: The Best Day/Never Grow Up (Mother’s Day)

[shortsweetespresso]

She will never sing Mary’s song.

modern artists i think the marauders-era characters would listen to

this is based on my opinion so i’d really rather not get flamed !

james: hozier. he’s a hozier kid and i can’t really tell why but he is ! he might also listen to the occasional daniel caesar, frank ocean, and ricky montgomery (esp when he’s pining)

sirius: conan gray. is that even a QUESTION. with songs like family line and astronomy he’s set for life tbh he’d also listen to arctic monkeys, marina, ethel cain, possibly boygenius n chappell roan

remus: mitski. i don’t know why exactly but he seems like he would listen to mitski. he’d also like phoebe bridgers, delaney bailey, matt maltese. but i feel like he’d listen to some more emergetic songs as well

peter: cavetown. the neighborhood, harry styles, wallows. they match his pre-betrayal energy and seem like his vibe. he’d also relate to some of the lyrics i believe

lily: boygenius. she’d be such a boygenius listener i think. she’d also love laufey, olivia rodrigo, paramore, and possibly songs from musicals like waitress. she just serves this music i swear

dorcas: lorde. oh she’d love ribs. she’s a writer in the dark truther. she’d also listen to sza, chappell roan, frank ocean and raye bc she’s just that girl

marlene: arctic monkeys. she’d adore that vibe tbh i wouldn’t put it past her if she’s memorized all their songs on the guitar. also paramore, ethel cain, sir chloe, avril lavigne

mary: chappell roan. oh she’s such a chappell roan girlie i hope we all agree on this. i also think she’d listen to sabrina carpenter, beabadoobee, lucy dacus, and clairo

if you have any more requests feel free to drop them in my asks ;)

What your favorite JCS song says about you

Tag your favorite and tell me how I insulted you

Overture - You're the hypeman at the function

Heaven on Their Minds - Judas is your babyboy + you're right this is the best one

What's the Buzz - This song is like crack to your seventies-obsessed brain, and "what's the buzz" is now something you say on the regular

Strange Thing Mystifying - You're a Judas Iscariot believer til the end, you think he did absolutely nothing wrong

Then we are Decided - You think you're super underground and obscure, but in reality you just have a fat crush on 24-year-old Bob Bingham (same)

Everything's Alright - Mommy issues

This Jesus Must Die - The villain song is ALWAYS your favorite

Hosanna - Jesus is your little meow meow and all you want is to see him happy

Simon Zealotes - You just love seeing a guy go batshit crazy + you're a sucker for good choreography

Poor Jerusalem - All you want is to be one of those actors that Jesus touches gently on the forehead

Pilate's Dream - You probably scream every time Pilate's on screen (girly calm down)

The Temple - You probably know a lot about time signatures + Jesus throwing over tables and yelling at everyone is your aesthetic

I Don't Know How to Love Him - You're basic but it's okay because this is a great love ballad + you think Mary is the most interesting character

Damned for all Time/Blood Money - You just really like seeing actors sing incredibly wordy and difficult songs

The Last Supper - You listen to John Denver + Seeing Jesus and Judas fight like a married couple tickles your brain

Gethsemane - If they don't hit that g5, the rendition immediately goes to the bottom of your list

The Arrest - Jesus is your little meow meow and all you want is to see him suffer

Peter's Denial - It's literally just Strange Thing Mystifying again but you like that funky little guitar intro + you ship Mary and Peter

Pilate and Christ - You think the best word to describe Pontius Pilate is "cunty"

King Herod's Song - You're girlypop + you think all movies would be better if they had a flouncy musical number

Could we Start Again, Please? - You're probably really sweet, like, overly nice

Judas's Death - You are a Jesus x Judas truther (respect)

Trial Before Pilate - You will never stop analyzing this scene. Ever.

Superstar - You grew up religious and are now in the alphabet mafia. How the turn tables??

The Crucifixion - You either love suffering or you love polyrhythmic jazz

John Nineteen:Forty-One - You're sensitive af + ALW is your favorite composer

This might be my favorite post I've made so far

Announcement!!! I've finally created a Dick Grayson playlist I have curated enough to be shared!

As with my other playlists, this is loosely in order from childhood to adulthood/present time.

Some notes:

This playlist will continue to be edited and added onto! If you have recommendations please share through my asks!

I deliberately chose a cover from Dick's 90's era because so many other playlists use modern art from Nightwing 2016-onwards. Not that its a bad thing, I just want to evoke a more specific era/characterization here.

Songs in French are included, for the same reasons that Arabic songs are included in Damian's playlist -- I like implying heritage in ways that don't just include songs in English. As for why French specifically, theres no real canon basis but an acclaimed Dick Grayson truther (Tumblr user: mysterycitrus) really got me onto the hc that Dick was born in France/Mary was French Roma.

Also, in line with the above, I found some great French-Romani guitarists that I put into the playlist too.

I try really hard not to include songs that haven't been in other Dick Grayson playlists already, but there a few that fit well enough I need to put them in for the vibes.

EDIT: Looking back on it a lot of song choices here are kinda depressing, so if thats not your thing....don't listen.

Iceberg Bing for layer 3 and 4.

My memory is really bad, so some of these might have already appeared in earlier layers.

AMVs - Either specific songs that were popular to use in the fandom, or any fanmade content from during the manga's run that was popular

Soul and Maka Split up - Apparently this interpretation of Maka and Soul's final discussion in the manga is a hot take. There was a lot going on in the final chapter, but here are the phrases from the manga that gave me that impression.

Will cross this box off for any analysis from that final chapter tho.

Thompson Twins - Can't remember if this specific reference was pointed out, but stands in for any pop culture references brought to light.

The Dress - This is a newer development, but at some point this dress got listed on Devil Inspired and advertised heavily on instagram.

A bunch of Chrona cosplayers independently saw it and adopted it. (There were at least 3 or 4 at the first con I went to after it was listed). It's so prolific I've seen it in fanart of Chrona now.

Mary Shelly Theory - Saw someone in the tag a while back theorize Marie might be an allusion to Mary Shelly. It would add a layer to the electricity power outside of the Mjolnir reference.

New Art - Any mention of the 20th anniversary drops. (It didn't fit well in the square)

Purple/Pink Gate - Another one I can't remember if it's already been covered. Despite most fan artists color picking a dusty rose for Crona's hair, lavender wigs are still more common for cosplayers. I am a pink wig truther.

Shinobi - Okay, this is a PS2 game that predates the manga by two years. The main mechanic is a katana that sucks the lifeforce/soul of the user unless it's constantly fed other souls. I am fairly sure this is the inspiration of the uncanny sword. Even the cover art gives post time skip vibes.

If not, both pieces of media have to be referencing the same thing.

Zagreus + Dionysus : Death the Kid's role in SE has similarities with the god of the rebirth. Particularly the part of the legends where he's dismembered and eaten. There is some confusion in greek mythology if these are just different names for the same god or just two gods whose roles overlap, thus why I put both names.

Ragnarok - Particularly how he stops being a character after Salvage. Will also check off for mention of the war of the gods.

Merch - There's a lot of merch out there. Apparently they made a speaker inspired by bonus art. I'm sure there's a bunch of official stuff I haven't seen before.

Official Cosplay - There's a few talking points here that come to mind. Like how Soul is the only weapon with an official cosplay prop. Any Spirit, Ragnarok or Tsubaki props you see were made by the cosplayer. Death the Kid rings get sold one at a time, even if they're advertised as a set.

Translations goofs - There's little things like Afreet and Kishen being used interchangeably in the sub. The Witch hunter evolutions have a few different names. I'm sure there's other translation stuff that I don't know about that might pop up.

Demi-god Black Star - Another umbrella square. Black Star's arc towards the end seems to be referencing something specific. Idk what it is, but Marie goes out of her way to put him and Death the Kid on the same level and snubs Maka at the end of the manga.

The Dread Queen - Comparing Chrona to Persephone is really common in the Kirona crowd. After listening to some deeper dives on the topic there's actually precedence for them to be an allusion ancient underworld goddess that predates Persephone and Hades, but not the abduction myth. They're never referred by name only by titles. Crona's name being literally Dark One in Japanese fits with this theme, as well as usually being referred to as the Demon Sword rather than by their given name. This could be more coincidence than anything else though.

Unlocalized content - The iceberg has already covered the games, but there might be audio dramas or other in-character content that didn't make it's way over when SE was popular in the US.

hi jen!! could i request lily for the character ask?

hi renn!!!! this is so late!!!!!! but we're sooooo back !!!!!

lily evans my aboslute most beloved... 🤍

favorite thing about them

problematic lily!!! i love that she's flawed,defends the wrong people (severus), is adamant about james and severus being equally bad as each other/if not even thinking james is even worse and she only ever stops defending severus when he personally offends her. i think it says a lot about her character that she only ever sees her own point of view. whats that saying..... she doesnt see beyond her own nose ?? and yet she's martyrized and praised, made into this poster child for muggle witches and wizards, represents goodness, selflessness, kindness and bravery. i often see her characterized in fanon as this girlboss type woman who doesn't take anyones bullshit when.... in my opinion... canon implies she's The Doormat of The Century . she let people make her into whatever they wanted her to be, eventually a martyr, even if her actions during her teenage years sort of contradicts how she's remembered

least favorite thing about them

the majority of fanon lily............ xx especially the girlboss cottage core version……… xx

brotp

well. it used to be snily. and now im a lesbian snily truther..... :/

random hc

6ft tall and (in modern aus) she stops shaving as an adult, eventually, even if i envision her with a guy, actively trying to break free from heteronormative beauty standards and patriarchal approval !! 🤍🤍

song i associate with them

[titsthedamnseason]

my theory is that mary’s song has become a sort of rwylm / hits different for taylor in terms of surprise songs because while im sure it’s somewhat simpler to perform, it’s become so highly anticipated that the pressure on her is probably similar and now she’s just too scared to even touch it 😭 and that’s why we’ll never get mary’s song surprise song

TC Tag Game

As always I’m excessively late to the party, but thanks @renaultphile for the tag!

1. "He would not fucking say that" only they did and it's canon. When/who?

I don’t have a copy of the book at hand right now, but while Laurie is visiting home for the wedding he goes on a walk and recites this weird incest-y song to himself, then contemplates how it always felt relatable to him. I’m not saying he would not fucking say that, because obviously he does and I hear him quite clearly. But I am saying maybe he should not have fucking said that. 

Also Ralph calling Bunny “Boo”. I don’t care how drunk he was, you don’t randomly slip out with a word you wouldn’t otherwise use. It’s part of his vocabulary. This one had me in contemplation for months, like, would he ever call Laurie that? Does this count towards the bad habits and lifestyle choices he wants to abandon while being with Laurie? Whole scene’s just embarrassing af 

2. Did they kiss in the study? Yes/no + why you are 100% correct about this.

I think they probably did, but that it was very chaste. I’m convinced the kiss between Laurie and Andrew is supposed to mirror it almost exactly. The way I see it, Laurie didn’t fully process it and therefore just stood there. From the flashback he got later on while holding onto Ralph’s sleeve while they’re in Ralph's room I think Laurie might’ve grabbed onto Ralph’s arm a little. But other than that I don’t think he did much, which made Ralph decide he wasn’t ready yet.

3. Mandatory question about Ralph's alleged tattoos.

I wasn’t aware this is something people discuss lmao, I’ve only thought about it once myself. Gonna be a party pooper and say he has none, as it's "improper"

4. 53 vs 59 edition: quote a line or paragraph that is better in the edition you like the least.

I feel like me and @renaultphile are the only ‘59 truthers. I think I once even wrote an entire post just on why I like that Mary cut the knee-touch?

Again, don’t have any book copies at hand right now, but I remember one small detail in the ‘53 I really loved. During Alec’s birthday party while he’s blowing out the candles everyone is looking at him, and for a moment there’s this shared feeling of hopefulness. In the ‘53 Laurie feels someone’s eyes on him, but by the time he turns around Ralph has already stopped looking. Something about Ralph glancing at Laurie in this moment, who’s presence represents so much to Ralph, makes me ache. 

5. Which TC character would feel right at home here on tumblr dot com?

I guess the obvious answers would be something like Hazell, Sandy or Bunny, but I feel like Andrew would run the most terrifically angsty aesthetic account. Also young Laurie, he'd probably write bad poetry or something

6. Tag yourself at Alec's birthday party.

The two guys holding hands in dead silence, not because I can relate, but because they really set the scene. Or the petty shit-stirrer who snitches on Ralph having a boyfriend. Or the other petty shit-stirrer who cries "Here comes Bim"

7. Post a TC meme.

I used to run a TC meme account over on Twitter. I’ve planned on reposting all of that stuff on here sometime, in the meantime here’s one: 

8. Easy to talk about who deserved better. Who deserved worse?

Dave. The Mature Wholesome Elder act he’s putting on at the end is pissing me off. Self-serving cu- 

Also, following the heavy implications that Alec had been snuggling it up with Bunny for quite a while, I think he got off pretty scot free 

9. You can break the fourth wall (at any point in the novel) and say a single sentence to our protagonist, Laurie Odell. What do you say?

I really wanted him to stay friends with Reg. I always felt like Madge’s Aunt Vera joke was pretty funny and well intended, albeit improper and terribly timed. It didn’t come off to me as her making fun of him for being gay. More like her trying to awkwardly bond over it, similar to Reg during The Bathroom Talk™. If Laurie hadn’t been so emotionally rattled at that time I feel like he would’ve played it off. It was such bad timing for him. So I wanna scream at him “Chill out, they’re clearly not out to get you!” 

10. What's a question you have about TC? One you haven't found an answer for yet.

I think there still might be a couple minor details, but I can’t remember them right now. The only bigger piece of dialogue that’s still a little intransparent to me is Ralph’s whole speech at the beginning of their post-wedding trip argument. I have my theories about it, but would also enjoy to hear more. 

Considering I’m over a month late and have no clue who did this tag already I’ll open it up to whoever might still wanna do it.
