#no. 1 in Heaven

The Disintegration of Memory by Salvador Dali // "Beat The Clock" by Sparks

Sparkstember Day 8: No. 1 in Heaven

(Note: I realize that I did Beat The Clock in 2022, but I just adore this song! This song is what got me interested in watching TSB in the first place - shoutout to Edgar for picking it for his Alamo Drafthouse "Favorite Sparks Songs" featurette.)

Sparkstember Day 8: 'Now I've even met ol' Liz!'

Who could forget Liz Taylor's brief but tumultuous marriage to Ron in the mid-90s which later inspired most of the songs on Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins.

completely forgot to post these, here’s days 6 and 8 of Sparkstember (didn’t have time to do 7):

big beat was probably one of the hardest to come up with a drawing for so far because ive barely ever listened to it, but no. 1 in Heaven was an instant success for me

Sparkstember, Day 8: Nº 1 in Heaven

"You think you're romantic, well, I'll whisper in your ear I'll be all you'll hear for years and years and years You may be deaf to everything, you won't be deaf to me My other voice"

[muzsmocsing]

It's insane how Pei Ming slutted his way through life and slutted it up even more once ascended, banging mortal, god, ghost, and demon alike yet he managed to be known as The God of Love. People wish STDs upon his hoe ass and STILL pray to him for luck with romance. Meanwhile one unfortunate government mandated typo and poor Feng Xin is forever known as Thick Dick Daddy 27. Like how is that fair.

Sparkstember Day 10:

Where're our girls? Who stole our girls??

What I’m learning from reading danmei is that the only way to tell another man you love him is to literally die in front of him and then he’ll figure it out

Sparkstember day 8: No. 1 In Heaven ✨ The Number One Song In Heaven // La Dolce Vita // Tryouts For The Human Race

everybody go home. this is my magnum opus

*bracing myself on my knees and trying to breath, nursing a cramp*

I got here as fast as I can. I just wanted to point out that THIS…

Is one of the gayest fucking lines of television I’ve heard in my life.

Even if the presence of the song itself somehow wasn’t a flashing spotlight enough, the literal voice of God directly draws attention to it. Telling us that in universe, a nightingale really is in fact singing in Barkley square, and to know its music is sweet regardless of if we can hear it. Just like there are really in fact angels (one fallen but we’ll let it slide) dining at the ritz, and they’ve been falling in love regardless of if they’ve been allowed to openly pursue that feeling.

And hell, maybe it’s BECAUSE of the traffic that the nightingale finally sings. Perhaps it wasn’t ready until it was sure no one else could listen.
