DAREEEEE!! DARE MY DARLING MY LOVE MY DEAR hello 🥰

Re: your reblog about underwater albums

The photo rang a very distant bell in my mind and I could have sworn I've seen it before, lo and behold, when I went to check my Instagram highlights, I saw that it was on there!!!

Said highlights contain songs that I've discovered/rediscovered throughout the year, and the ones that really stick out, I put on there. This song was the first one I put for the year 2024.

And since you love them, that means they are worth checking out and so I shall do that, starting with this album! But I would love to hear if you have any specific songs you would throw my way as an introduction to this band ☺️ okaythatsitiloveyou mwah!!

WAAAAHHHH!!! 🥺🥹🥰

DARLING!!!!!

(I am putting this under a cut because I 100% started rambling and it got very long winded. I'm not sorry.)

So first off, being told that music is worth listening to simply because I like it is genuinely the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me and I'm smooching your face

SECOND!!! I've been listening to PR since before they were PR (heard them on the Disney channel as Kropp Circle when I was like- 7? Ish) and are the only artists I've been able to see more than once! I would say they're definitely top 3 favorite bands.

So this band is actually made up of a group of brothers who go by their first and middle names professionally, Sebastian Danzig on guitar, Remington Leith on vocals, and Emerson Barrett on drums.(Well Seb and Rem go by their middle names. Em legally changed his to omit their last name and add in a new middle name following his knighthood in 2022.)They've had a few different bassists and rhythm guitarists for touring, but they make up the main band. They all have input on composition and all 3 of them take part in song writing as well.

Anyway SONG RECS!!! I'm gonna give you one or 2 of my favorites from each album, as well as noting which songs are the classic "need-to-knows"

(note: there are some songs here that I say hit home for me personally, doesn't necessarily mean I relate to the subject matter, just that the songs are so emotionally driven that it's hard not to empathize with it)

So starting you off with their second album "Boom Boom Room Side B" (the underwater album in question), you clearly already know it, Dying in A Hot Tub is one I recommend because it hits right in the feels, especially with the knowledge that they wrote it about/for one of their best friends. It is what I would consider a staple of PR.

I like recommending this one because it's the first song they ever released under the name of Palaye Royale back in 2012. At the time they were 20, 18, and 16, so it's interesting to listen to how much their style has changed and how much they've grown as musicians over the past 12 years

Now this one is from their first EP "The Ends Beginning." It was their first major release and it's just beautiful. This is probably my favorite song off it

From their first studio album "Boom Boom Room Side A", this one is a classic PR song. A few years back Sumerian Records put out a movie called American Satan, which followed a fictional band called The Relentless who essentially make a deal with the devil in exchange for fame. Now while the main character/vocalist of The Relentless was played by Andy Beirsack, all the singing was actually done by Remington, and this song was added to the movie as an ode to that.

Also BBR A, this one also hits directly in the feels. I don't think I would have survived had I been able to travel to the city back when they played this live acoustic for vip meets (which were held on their bus/in their trailer back then! Unfortunately they've apparently developed an allergy to STL since)

So from album 3, titled "The Bastards", I actually loved this song far before it came out, as the boys love putting unreleased tracks in live setlists. I think I legit screamed when I heard the opening notes to this the first time I went to a show a full year before the album dropped

Keeping with the theme of pointing out which songs on each album hit hard, track 14 still makes me cry every time I hear it

Album 4, "Fever Dream" actually has quite a few that I could mention, but I'll limit this to 2. Both of these hit home for me personally, definitely on the sadder end of the spectrum here, I promise there are more upbeat ones on this album, but these are the 2 that stand out to me the most

Now their 2nd ep (technically their 4th ep, but the 2nd and 3rd are made up of singles later released as part of Bastards and Fever Dream, so I'm not counting those) Is titled "Sextape", and is 2 original songs and 3 covers. I will be listing 1 of each.

First the cover. This is originally by Depeche Mode, but the way Rem sings it is so beautiful and I love it to bits

The original song here is both extremely sad and angry, based off a previous relationship. It also has an extra layer to me, as I hadn't sworn off social media yet and saw this play out in real time, so hearing exactly what was happening to him in such a raw form is certainly something and it hurts to hear

I could probably keep going but we have hit the song link limit. But these are my favorites from each album. They do have music released this year as well but Vessel needs to loosen his grip on my brainstem before I'm able to listen to anything else lol

Not technically related to their music unless you wanna go into a bit of a dive into lore, but Emerson is also a very talented artist and does have a shop where he sells it! I've bought a few of his pieces and they're absolutely gorgeous!

I mean this in the most respectful way possible:

I may have had a few years where I was off of Tumblr because life was lifing, but the way I dressed was a clear confirmation that you can take me away from Tumblr, but you can't take Tumblr away from me!

A Darling who loses all self-preservation when sleepy. Who would accept being kidnapped by a yandere as long as they one, went to the effort of acquiring their favorite pillows and blankets from their house; and two, are up for cuddles immediately. Probably a yandere’s fluffiest daydream

hello Ever After High tumblr community, i humbly request your attention briefly.

so basically, i have a lot of Ever After High ideas clogging my head, ranging from misc. concepts, to plans for entire storylines/arcs. (this includes world building regarding both what we’ve already seen and what we haven’t yet seen, character arcs and development, fairytales and fairytale characters we have yet to actually meet onscreen, etc.)

i doubt anyone cares that much, but i have this vision for how the rest of the Ever After High story (in the tv continuity) would go. i have tentative plans to write this continuation using the 4 episode per story arc format that eah later switched to, while staying in line with the tone and writing style of the specials/webisodes so that it feels like it could naturally work as an official, canon continuation of the series, all while still telling a compelling narrative.

currently i have a rough outline for the first four-episode story arc that i’ve come up with (though i still have a few things i wanna workshop with it) written out. (side note: i typically write the finished draft of stuff in screenplay format, so the rough outline is written with eventually being transferred into that format in mind.)

i just wanted to post this to see if there’s any actual, palpable interest in this at all. and because my friends think i’m insane for keeping my work to myself & the select few people i’ve chosen to show it to as opposed to publicly sharing it because they at least think it’s good enough to be shown off.

so, yeah, just putting this out there incase there are people who wanna know more. i’d be willing to share the aforementioned rough outline i’ve written.

tldr; i want to write—and finish—the story of Ever After High.

Edited the wind up rubber strap of GO!Kidou because they got lazy and just reused MUJI!Kidou's hairline despite them being completely different and it pissed me off

I heard this song again for the first time since playing through Control and thought "hmmm this might work for a Darling edit"

My desire to support a Biblical sitcom done in a respectful way vs. my hatred of the mockumentary style, FIGHT!

Lemon demon x Wally + home = 😌😮‍💨

Funny thing though I was literally listening to the whole album of spirit phone while drawing this which helped me get in the mood lol. Anyways enjoy!!!

Guess what my favorite song from this album is?

Happy timezones darling!!

I finally got around to taking a picture of my glow in the dark constellations blanket and I wanted to share it with you

I shall bring it for when we go sunset watching on your trampoline 💛✨

Good timezone darling!!!

Oh I love yours!!! Love that it names them as well! Perfect for skywatching!

Mines just got a repeating constellation pattern, but it's plenty big and warm:

With a bonus Loki because he's decided that if I don't give him my full undivided attention right this second he'll die (this was the only photo I got that isn't blurry because he was slapping my phone lmao)

It's perfect, we can sit on the trampoline with warm drinks, watching the sunset and wrapped up in stars 🥺🥰

[daredevils-advocate]

It was so pretty! So bright and colorful, and it turned so pink! It was The Tonee Sunset!

(The was the one I was worried Tumblr ate, I wasn't sure if it sent before I lost connection)

Good timezone darling!✨

No cozy trampoline sunset today, I'm on a road trip!

It's another 12 hours or so until we reach the mountains but this sunset is worth it <3

(as I was taking these my brother in the backseat just goes "are those for Tonee?" The whole family has caught onto me lol)

Hey so real quick let me just-

DARE WHAY DO TOU MWAN??! WHAT IS THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY GIREGOUS SUNSET YOU HAVE SENT ME??! I'm not even gonna bother correcting my typos so you can feel the intensity in which I lost my marbles because of how STAGGERINGLY BEAUTIFUL those are oh my god

It is DOWNRIGHT SINISTER for that sunset to start off so golden and having it end in bisexual colors!! Sunsets catered for me!!!

I need to go lie down (I'm already lying down)

I now have a stupid smile on my face, all thanks to you 🥰 but for real, I am so very grateful for this, and for you, in general 🙏🏼

Not your family recognizing me as That One Internet Friend Who Is A Hoe For Sunsets hahahaha!!

drawing lots of dramatic lias. shes going hauntinggirl mode

[freckliedan]

Friend anon here: Yeah, I get what you are saying and I agree; however, that's not exactly what I meant. Before they were out, they would call each other 'friend' because they wanted people to believe they were just friends and nothing more. What I was trying to say is that I can't imagine them still doing that in 5/10 years.

OH thanks for the clarifier! and. um. well. thinking about a future where the default thing they call each other isn't friend anymore just made me vividly imagine dan casually calling phil his lover and i think i've died.

realistically it'd be partner or husband but. lover is so

ok. does omi omi use pet names for tsum tsum or no. ur opinion will influence mine

why are u treating my opinion like it’s the One Truth. The Word Of God 💀😭

but anyway….. the answer is yes but also no. I think he does but there are conditions.

i know you didn’t ask about atsumu but i’m going to start with him for comparison purposes. atsumu is a nickname/pet name guy. clearly. i mean look at him. but beyond the “omi” nickname and it’s derivatives, i think he uses a lot of pet names for omi like babe, sweetheart (i have STRONG opinions on this one and it’s backstory but i won’t get into that here), darling, hun/honey, etc. i think he uses them regularly and at any time. but i think he also gets Silly With It a lot and comes up with weird pet names for kiyoomi just to get a reaction out of him.

kiyoomi on the other hand is a little different. I think he will use pet names like baby, my dear (used kind of sarcastically but kind of not), love (rarely), etc. i think kiyoomi probably finds a pet name for atsumu he really likes and he uses it regularly, BUT. he uses them only when they’re alone. the idea of calling atsumu “baby” in front of another living soul is so mortifying to him, he needs to take deep breaths to calm down just at the thought of it. in public it is “atsumu” or “miya” (literally no matter how long they’ve been together kiyoomi will still call him miya sometimes. atsumu doesn’t like it).
