the link between the outro of guilty as sin, waolom, icfh, tsmwel, and bdilh is just so striking to me every time i hear one of those, but especially guilty as sin.

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.

the scandal was contained, the bullet had just grazed. at all costs keep your good name.. you don't get to tell me you feel bad

They shook their heads saying "God help her" when I told them he's my man. But your good lord didn't need to lift a finger. I can fix him, no really I can. Woah maybe I can't.

then say they didn't do it to hurt me BUT WHAT IF THEY DID

you caged me and then you called me crazy

I just want to know if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal.

i forget if this was ever fun. I just learned these people only raise you to cage you. Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best, clutching their pearls sighing "what a mess?" I just learned these people only save you 'cause they hate you.

when he ghosted her, she blamed the fandom. in part because she felt ashamed she alienated us* for the sake of this guy who fucked her over and so focused on the fact she shouldn't have had to and the fact that she did was, itself, a red flag. the disdain of our* self righteousness was blaming us for the fact she had to alienate us and it still wasn't enough to keep him around vs blaming him for that. because blaming him would blame her too.

ending the standard edition with clara bow after the alchemy, too, draws it in. she feels terrible she did that to us and loves us so much... but she's also terrified of how bad that felt.

SO THE FINAL HIGH STAKES IS UP TO THE WILLINGHAM BAILEYS?

They literally just said let the parents do the leading didn't they

[radicheart-a]

"Ahem!

"Good evening, deer listeners! I know it's been a while since I hosted one of these events, and I do apologize for that — but allow me to make amends by kicking it off one day early!

"Are you bored? Looking for something to do? Feeling mischievous, or even violent? I sure am! Why not give ✨ Harassing Travis ✨ a try? Not only will you get to flex your creativity and let out some pent-up frustrations, but it’ll earn you friendship points with me!“

"Did I forget to mention it’s absolutely free?

"For those that are new or have forgotten, Travis resides at 3816 Nash Street and likes to frequent a bar in Pentagram called The Cackling Crow. He is almost always at one of these locations when he isn't working at the Porn Studio. Do with this information as you see fit!"

"I’ll be watching!"

Please this is so funny 😭

Nat and travis as the last ones to get back when Jackie's outside. Nat and travis as the last ones to get back when they're preparing to cremate jackie. Nat as the one to stay outside all night. Nat as the one to carry her bones, saying no to travis. Nat as the only one after shauna to say goodbye.

I think I have such a hard time coming up with/fleshing out certain ideas for MCD sometimes because the series is so fast. Like on one hand it's 237 episodes, which is a lot, but there's still no break time like ever. Most of the time that there's proper downtime in the story is in the earlier parts of Season 1. And on one level I get that's part of the point, right? These are a bunch of incredibly fucked up people with no time to get their shit together before the end of the world is thrust upon them and they don't even know it yet.

But it's so disappointing. Because I have all these great ideas for story beats or character moments that just wouldn't have time to fit into the original. And sure that's what my rewrite is for but... Augh, idk I feel like I'm not entirely making sense. Just, like Laurance's Shadow Knight condition. It starts off very mild and gets progressively worse as time goes on, but the change can feel so sudden in the canon and even rewriting it can make it hard to give it the time to develop. I always think of it like a chronic illness/condition that afflicts him slowly over the course of years, but in reality it's like the course of months. I just want the world to slow down a little so these poor bitches can talk about their feelings.

All this comes down to the main structural problems I have with MCD as it pertains to the focus eventually shifting. Sometime in season 2 Jess got really into the lore and a lot less into the characters she had already spent so much time building up and the series lost focus. I'm not interested in the relics because I give a shit about finding out Irene's secrets or whatever, I'm interested in how the presence of the relics really effects these people. Give me Garroth having a crisis over the fact that he and Esmund are so similar it can be hard to tell whether he believes something or whether the relic believes it. Give me Travis, the show boat, the flirt, being unable to stand the sight of his reflection because it either reminds him of his fucked up heritage, or because when he looks at his own reflection sometimes he looks exactly like Enki.

I just wish the focus had remained on what truly drew people into the series. I can read complex lore about characters I don't ever really see on the RWBY wiki. My attachment to MCD even after all these years is because these characters had an impact on me. I connected with them in a way I hadn't connected with a cast of characters before, and I doubt I'm alone in that. I just wish that the thing that keeps me coming back to the series remained the focus instead of becoming a lower priority. The story was being carried by the characters and their interactions, as it should be. It should never feel like the story is just dragging them around.

UK ROCK BEST 100 ALBUMS - The 00's [CROSSBEAT (August 2006)]

00's UK rock's current location, where a diverse range of personalities are in turmoil

In the early 2000s, UK rock music was in a state of chaos, with the unprecedented idol boom taking over the leading role in the music world, but the seeds for the next generation could be seen here and there.

Since the end of the 1990s, several eclectic blues/folk/electronica bands, described as "the British answer to Beck", have emerged, and a branch of this, the "New Acoustic", has been gaining local attention. The post-rock/neo-prog rock scene developed in tandem with the rise of Radiohead, while the "new acoustic" bands that branched off from it gained local attention. It was Coldplay who drove an important wedge in the direction of the scene there. The band's "orthodox" approach to music captured the hearts and minds of the public at a time when there was an unabated demand for lyrical rock and a thirst for new Radiohead releases that were confused by the electronica-driven sound of the band. They went on to conquer the USA.

However, it was the American bands such as The Strokes and The White Stripes, and the Scandinavian and Australian bands such as The Hives and The Vines that brought about a decisive turning point in a situation where pop, dance and mellow music still dominated. It was perhaps the UK that was most affected by this simultaneous worldwide garage rock revival. People hungry for aggressive guitar rock greeted the band with enthusiasm, and new British acts such as The Libertines and Razorlight soon responded. The UK rock counter-attack began in earnest.

This led to a rapid revival of guitar rock in the UK. In fact, studies showed that guitar sales had increased several times faster than at the end of the 1990s. The fact that Alex Turner, frontman of the now flying Arctic Monkeys, was inspired by Vines as his first live experience as a frontman is testimony to this virtuous cycle.

The rise of guitar music has resulted in a wide-ranging revitalisation that is not confined to one genre. In Liverpool, for example, a unique and individual scene was flourishing around the local Delta Sonic label, represented by the eclectic psychedelic The Coral, and the fusion of rock and groove (The Music, Kasabian, etc.) also established an area of its own. Muse, who at the time of their debut were treated as a Radiohead follower, established their own dramatic rock opera world. Then came Franz Ferdinand, who further dramatically rewrote the UK rock map. With their clever blend of sonic sharpness and pop danceability, the neo-New Wave/post-punk revival (Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, etc.) was in full bloom at once. This movement, which has been described as the second coming of Brit-pop, is not just a rehash of New Wave, but is also the culmination of 40 years of British rock music from the 1960s to the present (beat, glam, art rock, Madchester, etc.). -Sumi Imai

Emperor Tomato Ketchup Stereolab (1996) A mid-period masterpiece that cleverly digested the experimental elements of later electronica into pop songs. Their taste and skill crystallised at their highest point. -Mima

OK Computer Radiohead (1997) Third album that catapulted Radiohead to the top of the world's top bands. Not the most accessible work, but perhaps it was the fact that it was somewhat esoteric that got so many people hooked. -Koguchi

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space Spiritualized® (1997) Jason Pierce led an orchestra in building this cerebrally delusional soundscape. A dizzying druggy spectacle that connects New Orleans and space in a straight line. -Kuroda

Word Gets Around Stereophonics (1997) The first album by this burly rock trio from South Wales, including the singalong classic "A Thousand Trees", and Kelly Jones' narrative lyrics were also highly acclaimed. -Yamashita

Urban Hymns The Verve (1997) The Verve's 'Urban Hymns' turned the previously often under-performing group into a national band (and a success in the USA). Listen to Richard Ashcroft's soulful singing. -Koguchi

The Man Who Travis (1999) A major breakthrough (second) with Nigel Godrich as producer, bringing naïve songwriting to the fore. Don't forget they were there before Coldplay. -Koguchi

Community Music Asian Dub Foundation (2000) Second generation Asians living in the UK hit the scene with their one-of-a-kind groove, and also worked with Primal with their anti-establishment message. This album is a reflection of London as a racial melting pot. -Otani

Rock Action Mogwai (2001) This is their controversial work, which is a step forward from My Bloody Valentine-esque guitar experimentation. It's impressive that they feature breakbeats and vocals in a big way. -Kuroda

A Rush of Blood to the Head Coldplay (2002) The band have continued to enjoy such huge commercial success since their debut that it's almost a little depressing. This second album is another fine piece of work with well-crafted songs, and has exploded around the world. -Hirose

The Coral The Coral (2002) 1st album by Liverpool's young super-individuals. They showcased their nostalgia by mixing psychedelic, acid folk and even Mersey Beat. They had hits such as "Skeleton Key." -Yamashita

Up the Bracket The Libertines (2002) Undoubtedly one of the most important albums of 00's UK rock. The band's unstable, uncontrollable performances and poetic genius in their depiction of everyday life painfully redefined "punk". -Sawada

The Music The Music (2002) UK rock newcomer of 2002, with a no-questions-asked groove. The whole band seemed to be beating to a single beat, and their development was simply breathtaking. Being Japanophiles, they have already visited Japan seven times. -Otani

Absolution Muse (2003) An epic rock drama combining hard guitar sounds with beautiful classical elements. Excessive romanticism has transformed the post-90s values of 'cool'. -Mima

Phantom Power Super Furry Animals (2003) A masterpiece from the Welsh outfit that succeeded in making a sonic leap forward. By suppressing their anger and mixing it with humour, their serious message stands out even more strongly. -Kuroda

Franz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand (2004) This Glaswegian four-piece crossed disco with new wave and created a worldwide fever in 2004. They are the ones who started the current UK rock boom. -Koguchi

Kasabian Kasabian (2004) New working-class rock of the 00's. The 90's hooligan appearance of Oasis and Primal was successfully evolved with 00's dance grooves. -Sawada

Hopes and Fears Keane (2004) One of the bestsellers of 00's UK rock, which popularised the middle-class rock pioneered by Coldplay. In a sense, the ultimate form of "melody supremacy". -Sawada

A Grand Don't Come for Free The Streets (2004) The Streets' second album from the UK garage scene. The song depicted the reality of working-class youths and gained overwhelming support, becoming No.1. Excellent dance music without lyrics. -Yamashita

Silent Alarm Bloc Party (2005) A record that symbolised the era when the 00's rock groove became known to the world together with Franz. The jittery beats are appealing, but the melodies are also very melancholy. -Sawada

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not Arctic Monkeys (2006) Straightforward and straight to the point. A shocking debut album that opened up the possibilities of rock music with the most difficult sound to make it sound fresh these days. A brilliant crystallisation of pure initial impulse and passionate energy. -Otani

Translator's Note: And that's it for covering 50 years of UK rock music in 100 albums. Honestly, the reason why I scanned and even translated this while article was just because Chris Martin was in the picture. Would be nice to have Matt there instead, but I also like seeing a white man with curly blond hair and blue eyes. Hard to resist him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
