Since I posted some of my old fanart yesterday... if you're not familiar with Slayers, and thus have never heard its amazing music, do check it out. It's largely by the same songwriter, Masami Okui, that did Utena's iconic opening (Rinbu Revolution) and ofc (TRUTH) and sung by a duo of her and Hayashibara Megumi (you know, the GOAT)
youtube
The entire OST pretty much slaps. there's only a couple of bad image songs in an absolute expanse of pure gold. GIVE A REASON, the opening to the second season, tends to be the reigning favorite. (I've a hard time pinning down my absolute favorite... of the original openings, it might be Breeze, but all three are so good. Of the entire catalog? Impossible to choose. Midnight Blue, Raging Waves, Within my Unlimited Desires, Gloria, Get Along... Impossible Choice)
#slayers#the slayers#music#anime#90s anime#Gourry's image song So In the World is like the cutest thing too#the series itself is a deep lore D&D parody swords and sorcery action/adventure series#very firmly a dramedy but when it decides to be serious it goes hard#it very rarely decides to be serious so it's always kind of a thrill when it does lol#but this post is about its soundtrack#namely its vocal songs#and as I said they slap a ridiculous amount#so here#Youtube#what if I go back and put Get Along in here too because I love it so much#I love any version that leaves lina's ramble in at the start#and the lyrics of I WANT THIS I WANT THAT... IT'S JUST HOW GIRLS ARE (showing lina blowing up shit lmao)#Hold on the memories of riding with my granddaddy to the big city next to us#so I could go to suncoast and get the new vhs release of NEXT when it was first being published in the US#just hit me like a sack of bricks#that's a good memory...

Truly from the depths of my struggling heart. Viva La Vida by Coldplay belongs to one Toshinori Yagi aka the one and only All Might.
Coldplay should just sign over the rights of the song at this point promptly too.
#the song just works on so many levels#cause yeah there’s the grander theme off glory days gone past#but there’s another layer of was; I really effective or good if the minute I left everything that I had built crumbled around me#because Toshinori was the symbol of peace but any peace that can’t survive without one man isn’t true peace at all#it’s a stalemate#hero society#should never have been so easy to collapse without all might#and honestly even though it was never really fully explored that was always a layer of the story I enjoyed#the ways in which a complete dominance in a field especially one as important as heroing can hurt just as much as it can help.#because if yagi had actually let people stand beside him if he hadn’t helped to create a space where other heroes could grow complacent#because all night was there. hero society would never have collapsed so easily without him.#it’s touched on but not a lot not dope if icalry about all nights dominance#it’s why I feel like if you watched the show and your geniune conclusion was that Deku should have become the new symbol of peace#then I just think we didn’t watch the same show#And don't get me wrong I'm not saying that yagi was wrong for saving people or using his powers to the max but it was touched on repeatedly#this kind of deep fear/belief that he had. That only he could save these people and if something happened to them it was on him.#Like every case could only be solved by him and it wasnt a pride thing if anything it was a trauma response same with Izuku#the tags for this got so long i swear i don't mean to do this😭#the symbolism#symbol of peace#all might#yagi toshinori#mha toshinori#mha#bnha#boku no hero acedamia#my hero acedamia#mha analysis#music#coldplay

Well, I didn't get any writing done, but I did watch the Wiggles documentary.
#look it was a compromise!#i was babysitting#these children were cranky and driving me nuts#this gives them music and me a documentary to learn things from#bad news: songs in my head forever#good news: actually pretty interesting#i'm always fascinated by the fact that no matter how strange or niche a type of art is#there's always people behind it#with ordinary lives and thought processes that go into what they make#and it was fun to see the very sensible and human ideas that go into creating something so wild#this wouldn't have been quite so shameful except that i kept watching after the kids were gone#instead of writing anything

ur telling me the singer/rapper i got attached to in like. ninth grade is the famous pretty boy vampire of my dashboard fame. sorry i actually can’t process this at all what do you mean
#he’s been in other things too like he’s a famous actor. obviously#but tbh i’ve only listened to like. a single song of his consistently#but like. first of all bloodsport changed everything 4 me. but also in like the way that ships and associated music changes everything when#- you’re in ninth grade#and i like. did listen to his ep when it came out. ten years ago???#his first one i mean. that’s the only music of his i’ve consistently listened to#i could not even slightly tell you if i think it’s good i’m just Attached#raleigh ritchie/jacob anderson btw. the pretty one#ok i’m listening to his new album. security goes hard. i’ve always really liked the rhythm of his rap breaks#ted talks

one of the best parts in playing through remedy’s games is directly seeing how each game built upon concepts touched upon in prior ones. you can trace almost every experimental decision throughout its run of games that it makes for an interesting playthrough whether or not you enjoy playing the game
#watched an interview a while back where i believe it was Sam lake who said that often concepts that are discarded from the game they’re#making usually have a chance of reappearing in the next game#and that is. incredibly apparent with these games#or just continuing to try bold creative things#it doesn’t always work for me + part of that could also be from issues with time and production#(blood platforms in Payne. possessed objects in AW. the television eps in QB. the map and final boss fights of ctrl. etc. etc.)#but the care and love put into it by the writers developers actors musicians etc.#makes me fond of them for different reasons even though I definitely have favorites lol#it’s also why I understand the games don’t work for everyone. it’s reeeeally a matter of preference and I don’t even know whether I’ll like#their future releases. but hey if they keep trying new things then good for all the people involved#on a serious note where the hell do you go from making an ingame musical sequence?

I feel like with this whole Liam Payne situation and the resurgence of 1D content (which I’ll be lying if I said I haven’t been enjoying) it’s easy to forget what a real tragedy this is—because obviously I don’t know any of these men personally nor will I ever, but the 5 of them where still incredibly important to me in a very dark and yet very formative period of my life, and they deserve that recognition on my part at least. Growing up I very rarely thought about how the 1D members were very close in age with me, only a couple of years older, yet while I was living the last years of my childhood protected by my parents, they were literally plucked from their homes, overworked to the bone and thrown to the wolves.
Liam became an abuser and an addict, there’s no denying that, but it’s very hard for me to think that the boy I used to eagerly watch videos of everyday when I was a teen started off that way—and this isn’t me trying to put my nostalgia above the pain of his victims at all, I’m just pointing out how the cycle of abuse perpetuated by the industry can only end up ruining lives. Liam’s life absolutely did not have to end the way it did. Ultimately Maya Henry and the rest of his victims don’t deserve to be blamed for this, they should receive nothing but compassion and empathy from us, and so should Liam’s family, especially his son.
I think I will, bearing that in mind, allow myself to mourn Liam, and the girl I used to be and that he was such a huge part of. I can never be that girl again, I’ve lost and gained too much over the years to ever be her again.
I will also allow myself to mourn the rest of the 1D boys too, because while I don’t want anything bad to ever happen to them, they aren’t those boys anymore, the pedestal they used to occupy no longer exists in my heart, but a part of my love for them will always be there.
#this got super sappy sorry the ghost 17 year old me possessed my body and wrote it#so I know that I always come back here like “yes I’m back for good” and then disappear for months#but these last couple of months have actually been good for me for a change (and I don’t want to jinx it so…)#i went to a cool trip through europe to study. came back. got a new job. and even started dating (we’ll see how that goes lol)#but i feel like i owned it to teenaged me to post something here which basically amounts to: wow… growing up realllly sucks uh??#anyway i really couldn’t stop myself from commenting on this because i literally started this blog 13 years ago because of one direction#like… imagíne that…#1d renaissance is cool despite the circumstances#what isn’t so cool is the whole putting blame for liam’s d*ath in underpaid hotel employees and any woman in his vicinity#using it as an excuse to gush about the pettiest thing ever like l*rry reunion (like???? read the room?????#liam payne#liam#1d#one direction#ufff felt super weird using those tags after all these years#like it feels like I’m talking about some guys who disappeared into the void 10 years ago but no#i saw them around a lot and even listened to some of their solo music#(specially niall’s because i vibed with his the most)#but it wasn’t the same because they were no longer 1d ya feel??#idk anymore#stfu pam

no im not saying this is a unique experience no im not saying im uniquely worse off or whatever for this but its an interesting thing abt my life that i quite literally can never return to certain places from my past. like thats usually mostly a metaphor, or half true, but like for example the high school i went to was being remodeled as i went there. there are buildings i spent hours in ever day for years that just dont exist anymore, and it happened within like a year of leaving. the auditorium was even worse bc i first performed on that stage when i was like 4? its gone too. right before i moved out of my childhood home i had to move all the furniture around for a slapdash and disruptive remodel. everything is gutted and rearranged and looks different. id say barely it functions as a house but it was a hoarder house growing up, so the functionality is probably equal, except now i guess its empty instead of over-full. even the house i lived in w my friends was drastically remodeled into some kind of workshop when they finally moved. even the big tree in the front is gone. my grandmother's house had to be remodeled after it got flooded in hurricane harvey. the dance teacher & studio head i had for a decade died. like god damn the liminal spaces sure do be liminal (im sorry)
#my elementary school is still there tho#again not trying to claim this makes me some tortured soul im just commenting on something interesting that keeps happening#like if i went to visit my middle or elementary or even preschools for some reason#it would all be different and of course no longer feel like the same place#i visited the elementary school a lot in high school bc i helped teach music#again tho thats like normal#even my childhood home being different is probably a good thing considering it needed to be changed but its still weird#the high school tho? all that shit is rubble nlw#*now#im not rly someone who goes hard for nostalgia in terms of feeling like life was better in the last#*past#just always fascinated by trying to look back at what memory has skewed and the way things can never fully be known#yknow????????#and stuff like this makes it feel even further unknown#life does seem to be a lot of making up new normals as you go along#and periods of adjustment in between#u can never go back to the old house....

My dad's favourite band released a new song and I really like it which is kind of unusual and I'm just like =[ listening to it
#i miss him a lot#especially when this kind of thing happens#obviously his favourite band was dream theater#bc he was a dad rock enthusiast#I always thought DT were fine but ultimately not for me#he really wanted me to be in to them though so i went to see them with him a few times#always felt like the only young woman there lol#but it's always a little gutting when new things come out he would've loved#so much of my TV/film/music experience involved going to tell him about it or discuss it#so many things my immediate reaction is oh dad would've loved that#just a lil grief rant#my life is irreversibly worse without him#doesn't mean it's bad but it isn't as good#ugh

when i have nothing to do (which is often unfortunately) i usually just fluctuate from drawing -> reading -> tumblr -> twitter, and going from twitter to tumblr and back and forth has made me realise that twitter people literally just hate everything
#its almost funny how bitter people on that app are#that new show? hate it. new game? looks shit. new music? do better#even worse if they complain about “wokeism” which is often on twitter#almost seems like yall cant enjoy anything 😭 kinda sad ngl and this is coming from an active hater of many things#but yall tumblrinas are always so postitive good for u guys

Controversial but I genuenly think Eve should take a one yearish break and rethink some things, there’s no way that man has made three songs that sound exactly the same
#to me at least#like yeh I feel he should just take a break do some other stuff maybe some new inspo#cause even if I support him I’m kinda tired of all the commercial songs like#idk as of late everything seems so forced#ignoring insomnia for a moment (which I like) nothing he has released as of late has a grip on me#literally last song and mv I truly enjoyed was touhiko and that came out almost a year ago#no wonder why sou is always in top of my music lists since he has different stuff#which ig it’s easier with the utaote status since he sings a different range of songs and his albums are big collabs with other people#idk man#it’s not like I don’t like the new eve don’t get me wrong but#sigh#btw none of this means I want dramaturgy eve back I know he’s gone and that’s a good thing too but this new evolution to cutely anime songs#is just ugh#fight song I’m sorry I took you for granted#anyway sorry for the rant

i guess im being offered the job lol
#i didnt even have to interview????? here i was worrying about oh god going for an interview#but i guess not???#manager called me just now and was like hey i spoke w the people they want to know if you can start on these dates#like. okay???????#theres a week of training for me to do and then the following week id start at thee job#like an idiot as i was saying bye on the phone i only remembered then that i should have asked if it was PAID training ugh.#im assuming so . but maybe not. idk#im gonna call him back on monday to give my answer#this is it.... i may finally be free of the annoying people....#but like anything i have my trepidations. bc who know if itll work out#well thats life. as the song goes#fortunately im still within the timeframe to change the amount for my commuter benefits pretax card thing#bc the monthly pass id need for the new job#costs like less than half of what i pay now for the bus to ny#crazyyyyy. anyway i gotta do that if i decide to take the job#its more money (a little. but still more. ok its like a dollar and 4 cents more. which not a lot but still)#i get more sleepytime (always good) and im saving on commuting#plus ill only have to pay nj (and federal) taxes. instead of also paying ny yay. thats good#sorry again weighing the pros and cons onstage here#UH. what else#well a shorter commute is good but it means less reading/music listening time#although ive only resumed reading recently lol#idk. well then i could read at home and not worry about my books getting messed up#these past couple weeks ive been :( that the like 70-something year old paperback ive been taking is getting a bit rougher#only a little. but yesterday it got a bit wet bc my bag got soaked in the rain#why am i taking a super old book to work well i dont know what to tell you we have some old books#ok getting off topic. everything seems good about the new job so fuck dude i guess ill go for it#finally free of the stupid people here.... on to new stupid people (undoubtedly)#well it's probably all good then but unfortunately i always worry what if it isnt. hm

ok after listening to the english version of the death note musical....... unpopular opinion i think but i actually prefer the japanese version? dont get me wrong, with some of the songs i do think i might like the eng version more but..... idk i like the lyrics of the japanese version a lot more? and obviously i only know them via a translation but i know for a fact that the entire focus of certain songs are different between versions.
like in the english version of the game begins, L is talking about his strategy to track down kira. but in the japanese version, he's more so talking TO kira directly and saying that he's going to take him down from his "god" status to hell. or mortals and fools, which had a wholeee different vibe in the japanese version being called like a cruel dream. and uhhhh am i insane or was rem's song before she dies an entirely different song? cause in english it was like a sort of generic love song that was pretty chill considering the context, while in the japanese version it was this superrr melancholic and striking ballad she sang while floating around misa.
idk but i really do think i prefer the japanese version. but the og english version is good too!!! i really liked hurricane and the way it ends in particular
#in ''the way it ends'' btw light saying to L ''i've always stayed a step ahead; but you were with me all the way'' almost made me cry WHATTT#WHO MADE HIM FUCKING SAY THATTTTT THATS SUCH AN INSANE LYRIC#but anyway yeah i think i prefer the jp version a good amount#another thing was um. and this might be a stupid thing to be weird about but. L's actor was too passionate for my tastes#<- that sounds insane but if you know anime L you know what i mean right. like hes pretty reserved#and i felt in the japanese production i watched L's actor there was still a great performer and singer like putting work into those songs#while still keeping that air of L being more reserved and like. flat almost? i feel like the guy playing L in the eng version was too much#like ''im BELTTTINGGGGGG HOW IM GONNA FUCKING CATCCHHHH KIRA!!!!!!!!!!'' like bro calm down......#ITS A GOOD PERFORMANCE it just doesnt read as L to me. and like thats fine whatever its an adaptation#but also in the japanese version they still did that adaptation while making L feel more like himself. so idk man#but anyway I WANNA SEE THIS NEW LONDON PRODUCTION SOOOOOOOO BAD#IVE SEEN PHOTOS AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD THE SET IS SOOOOOO COOL LOOKING OML#i need to see this musical live at SOME point in my life. pleaseeee can we get a north america production after this#serena.txt#death note posting

#aotv spoilers#ok you’re asking for my opinions let’s do it#i love louis!!!! im so proud of him and im so happy i got to watch him on his journey for so long and can’t wait for what’s to come for him#and i think my love for him and for his music and for my time in the fandím and for one d etc is what makes this a good watch and why i#liked it because otherwise i have my reservations to the movie and im not going to get into the babygate stuff#apart from the fact that louis trying to get freddie to hug him was extremely awkward and ive never seen less organic thing than the beach#scene and i find it funny they tried to push that as organic so hard#my issue is that it just had a potential to be a much better film is all sksmsk#it is good but it feels a bit rushed and kind of cheap in some ways and i get that’s the style of these biopics sometimes but#like it was such a shame the bg music was not really gold and was always exaggeratedly emotional because it made it cheesy and cheap and#kind of forced#i think it would have a great potential to get many people to say wow this is a strong talented guy and i think it is a great intro but i#think they undersold the movie so it’s not going to have a chance to reach an audience much wider than his current fanbase which is a shame#for his current fanbase it is a solidification and reiteration of his promo season and it is very clear where they want louis to stand and#what they want his image to be like and i think it’s absolutely amazing how they managed to show his growth as an artist and as a human and#and place him in a position where he’s now confident and secure and ready to embark on a new journey etc. although for the fans there’s#nothing new there and i think it’s worth considering how exactly they’re portraying and that they completely left out his relationships#aside from his family and the band#i think it’s important that it was noted he was undersestimated and pushed down and i think they made obvious how much he’s worked on#himself#i think it’s kinda clear they’re using it as a faith in the future promo with the new songs even though the doc ends with the end of the#tour#i think it’s interesting how many rainbow flags they chose to include without addressing the way his shows and fanbase look at all because#if i were from Gp id wonder what’s up with that esp when he only acknowledged the kmm project again#generally i think it’s a good watch that’s very transparent in what it’s trying to do for louis promo and image wise and it doesn’t tell#you anything new but it reminds you why you love this man so much while also leaving you a bit disappointed because this had a much#greater cinematic potential and a lot of it feels either rushed or underfinanced or forced and that’s a shame

☆ Nathaniel Wilson ☆
I Really Like Nathaniel because the guy embodies Hope and Positivity without forcing it down the gullets of everyone around him.
He looks like he'd be a pleasant individual to actually be around at 7 am. Even before his coffee. [ Sera should be too, she doesn't seem like an unbearable person to be around in La Matinée ( the Morning ) . But still, she is alot grumpier than her other half. ]
With that said. Insert Happy music here. Nujabes or Smth.
Submitted by @mettamorphoses!
Love the way you drew Nate here! such a clean style and serious face :> He's my favorite little quadfocal guy... friendly, polite, and a good conversationalist! You're absolutely right, he's one of the easiest people to get along with. It's almost like he knows exactly what to say to people.
Sera isn't grumpy so much as she is disinterested and dismissive. She heads to work without bothering to make small talk besides a basic "Hello." if she passes you by. Not the worst outcome, really, if silence doesn't bother you.
#submission#yeah. i'm in Tags too. wassup witchu#Aight but seriously i wonder how literally anyone would be like at 7 am.#Deva's tags start here =>#If he's home for the day he will always be a good conversationalist and offer breakfast or coffee on a morning#This is literally so cool#queued post#As for people at 7 am...#Sera is up by 4 AM unless Nate doesn't have work. By 7 she has already had breakfast and gotten ready to work on her projects.#If you catch her it is likely after she returns from a morning flight. She'll be civil but it can easily come off the wrong way. aw.#Nate takes a lot of long shifts that stretch into the night. Due to this he and Sera have very contrasting schedules.#If you see him in the morning it is usually only because of the weekend or whatever other days he takes off. He is a very tired guy#Vincent has a very erratic schedule and he is always out and about doing things that fancy him#He is also a HEAVY sleeper. Nothing can really wake him except for a very specific noise#Said sound makes him wake up in a horrendous mood. Most mornings are thankfully safe from this sort of temper.#It is hard to say what new bizarre thing he will get himself into next. Like doomcrying while hidden on the roof of a religious congregatio#Sonia is not up by 7 AM without a good reason to be. She is down at the kitchen in a bathrobe by 9 to eat some breakfast.#Which made her the unknowing first victim of Vincent's newly founded pyramid scheme#Amon is a late riser since he is still used to his old schedule from his time at the Ricciardi mafia. Sleeps late? wakes late!#If it's a weekday he will always be up at 6 AM regardless of the amount he slept to take Adra to school.#Eric tends to wake up early but often gets caught up in personal projects. He loves music and editing his tracks but it really eats his tim#So Eric will be going to sleep at 4 and see Sera making herself coffee whilst Nate is also coming home from work and crashing on the couch.#Not even Amon heads in that late. Maybe Vincent does though. If he's “Traversing the night.” Like he says he does.#Vince can't see very well at night anymore. And the sun is almost blinding now. But it's nothing to an immortal like him! ha! bow before hi

Returning from war with the only decent thing I have written in the last few months. Entirely written in the notes app at 1am so I apologize for the dubious quality
Inspired by roger water's song The bravery of being out of range
For context the setting is tgm on the carrier during the Mission just after mav and roo are shot down
#theres paragraphs upon paragraphs in this note just to lead up into this tiny thing#i couldnt figure out how to end the actual fic and ive since pretty much given up on the original plotline so im posting this now#did i write a whole oneshot just to abuse one single lyric and then abandon it#yes#always found the whole what if ice was on the carrier fic plot interesting#theres a whole new level of numbness required to leave two people for dead#especially while their only real family is right next to you#top gun#icemav#top gun maverick#topgun fanfic#alsooo important addition i do not really support roger waters as a person i just think he has good music sometimes#that is all
