#music good :)

[realsorcerershit]

Man this is just a small personal post but my life became so much happier when I just accepted the kinds of music I like rather than holding myself to some awkward societal standard or whatever. Fuck yeah I love cheesy pop rock but also power metal but also the edgier emo stuff too. Fuck yeah

After watching StrangeAeons hivliving video on YouTube

My adhd brain completely missing the point(but yes the whole situation is messed up, god this is why I hate people): I'm really curious about the cannibalistic mermaid fic. Mostly because I love mermaids and the idea interests me. Sorry I'm weird.

(Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you)

when a song has a callback to earlier songs on the same album or even songs from a previous album. that’s the good shit right there

I love how Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel specifically cameoed during One Short Day, because that’s the song where Glinda and Elphaba are talking about their future together- a future that we know they’ll never get. BUT having Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth there feels like we got to see a version of Elphaba and Glinda who DID get their happy ending together living in the Emerald City 💚🩷

thinking with gratitude about how a lot of ariana grande's acting choices in popular make it seem like glinda has so much pent up Energy and excitement to give elphaba a makeover........ almost like glinda had already spent countless hours fantasizing about living out her very own enemies to lovers au

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
