Hazbin Boys And Their Partners modern Music Taste

Alastors partner listens to Hozier, always humming and singing to his music. Alastor prefers jazz, so he was not to impressed by Hoziers more alternative songs. But sooner or later he’d get an earworm, especially after hearing you singing and humming the song. He catches you on the kitchen one night, singing a song from his new album, and he decided to join in, grabbing your hand and spinning you around as he softly joins you in your song. “You’re too sweet for me~”

Lucifer has not kept up with music at all. But he is very open and loves sharing music with you. He loves it when you sit next to him singing songs, showing him your favorite albums. Billie Eilish is your favorite artist so you share her music a lot with him. By proxy she becomes his favorite artist, her songs all reminding him of you and your happiness when you share her music with him. Now he sits making a new rubber duck singing his personal favorite song by her. “Birds of a feather, we should stick together~”

Husk always preferred jazzy songs, a song you would play in a casino. But he is open to any music you want to listen to. Mainly because he loves spoiling you, and when you’re talking about your favorite artist you just light up. So when you bring up Mitski with that look in your eyes, Husk listens in and even learns the lyrics just for you and the smile you give him for it. He learns to appreciate Mitsuki and her songs, even outside of you. “Domi Ti~Why not me?~”

Angeldust loves pop music to his core and you can’t tell me otherwise. He’s a pop girly and when you tell him your love for Taylor Swift, He immediately geeks out with you. You guys bond over the albums and which ones you like the best (he’s a Avid Reputation Stan), you guys will sing to her lyrics to your hearts content, just laughing and sometimes crying together. So now you guys are outside in the streets humming and singing to her songs like nobody else is watching. “The more that you say the less I know~”

Vox doesn’t have much time to listen to music, and he wasn’t big on it when he was alive either. It was just not really something he connected with personally. But he does find it pleasant when you sing or hum along to Chappel Roan. It’s a nice change from the chaos that Valentino brings, or the stern lectures Velvette dishes out. He’d never admit it but he looked into Chappels album after you started to get into it, just so he could feel closer to you. He found he didn’t really care much for it, however he liked the way you moved to her songs. It made his heart swell. So maybe while he was on his keyboard typing away, he started to absentmindedly sing a song or two. “H-O-T-T-O-G-O, you can take me hot to go~”

Valentino likes all music, there isn’t a type he likes or dislikes more. He likes music you can cry to, Music you can move to, Music you can fuck to-Just all kinds. So when you start talking about Sabrina Carpenter he is instantly curious and ready to learn about it. He immediately falls In love with her and her style, dancing and singing along with you as he learns the lyrics. He swings yo around the living room, hands on your hips as he grins and laughs with you. He adds her to his playlists immediately, intent on learning more. Now it isn’t uncommon for his to start singing her songs at random. “Have you ever tried this one?”

2024 vid recs

just some vids I saw and liked in 2024! these are sorted by fandom but not otherwise in any order

Interview with the Vampire

washing machine heart by @a-story-is-true - yayyyyy armand he has every problem <3 this really deftly stitches together key imagery from the show, love the ending shots of them getting further apart all lined up together

Revolutionary Girl Utena

doll parts by @amoralmorel - oh boy. oh man. utena fans are too good at amvs. this one uses shots in some ways that feel novel which is impressive given how long this fandom has been making amvs

good luck babe by ombrose - I might have googled "good luck babe utena" to find this. I like that it switches povs and the first lyric match for "shoot another shot" made me laugh

[nightcolorz]

Just saw your post about relating Mitski song to Armand....

I am begging you on my knees to explain Nobody to me. "Venus, planet of love / Was destroyed by global warming / Did it's people want too much, too? / Did it's people want too much?" Just that passage + the possibilities make me insane. Like Armand as to have painted roman mythology scenes (since he was owned by a painter), he must know a lot of the stories. Does he appears in any of those painted scenes? Does he see himself as a sterile environment for emotions? 😭😭😭😭

RAHHHH!!!! YESSSSSS!!! So true so true runs around. I often consider nobody more of a lestat song than an Armand song and u pointing this lyric specifically out as Armand core is opening my brain up sm omggg. Ahhh tysm sm for the ask I have thoughts!

the comparison of Armand to Venus is so sad, omg, bcus like, yes. The way “Venice planet of love was destroyed by global warming” functions in the context of the song supports the main theme with a sort of a self aware edge. Nobody is about how incredibly desperate the narrator is for human connection while being completely unable to connect with ppl. By bringing up Venus the meaning is basically like, “I have so much love in me but I want too much that I can’t have and it’s destroying me”. By bringing up global warming also there is an edge of “the world is a corrupt place that is falling apart and it’s preventing me from feeling like I’m able to be a person”. Which is all so Armand ‼️‼️ the imagery of a planet that has so much to give and so much to love being destroyed by the curroption of humanity is ugh, Armand to a tea. He was born an earnest, innocent child, with so much potential and sm love in his heart and anything he could have been was stripped from him horribly bcus men r fucked up and evil. He was a human made an object, a sterile environment as u said, omgg. And because of what he’s been through Armand is unable to connect with people or ever feel like he’s a part of the world or part of humanity. And he’s always longing for that connection, always feeling that gaping hole in his chest destroy him from the inside and looking for something to fill it. And all he wants is love 😭 love he can never understand or find for himself because he was never given it. UGHHH

also, nobody always reminds me of this rant Armand goes on in queen of the damned, where he’s freaking out as he talks to Daniel and talking about how he feels like the world keeps becoming more sterile and isolated, and being alone keeps becoming more normalized, and he is watching in real time as loneliness eats up the population collectively and destroys them. And I always felt like Armand gets so freaked out about this because he suffers from feeling unable to connect with other people or the world and unable to understand it, and I think for Armand seeing this becoming a wide spread issue for normal people is frightening cus of how he relates to it

thank u SM for this ask omg!!!! I hope you enjoy my answer <3 (Cough cough guys pls feel free to send me “explain how this Mitski song is Armand” asks its my favorite thing to do)

[possum-quesadilla]

Playlist dissections for Time is a Flat Circle, Time’s Arrow, and You Can Always Come Home!!

TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE

Titles:

- “The Heroine” by Unwoman

Used twice, for the title of chapter one, “Go through the emotions again and again”, and chapter six, “And this time I actually feel them”.

The first chap’s title is fairly obvious, He has to go through all of the emotions of the loop over and over again. The rest of the song is about an actress lamenting how she has the sympathies of the audience, but that someone who promised to come see her show never did. I feel like this is prevalent for our rancid little fella!

For chapter six, it’s a continuation of chapter one’s title. Beetlejuice actually has to start facing and feeling all of the emotions and hurt from the loops!

- “In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)” by David Lynch

For chapter two’s title, “In Heaven, everything is fine”. It is from the movie “Eraserhead”! The movie itself is rather dark, and the song comes at a moment that the main character is considering that maybe heaven would be better than his current situation. For Beetlejuice, this pertains to how he is trying to convince himself that this is as close to happy as he’ll get, and that everything is indeed fine, even though it isn’t.

- “Dinner Is Not Over” by Jack Stauber

For chapter three’s title, “I’ve tasted dying and it tasted good!” The song actually promotes suicide prevention. The song talks about having many experiences, including a brush with death. The idea of death is very tempting to the person singing, but he says it’s “for desert” and he can “have it when dinner is done”. (Basically, yes death is tempting, but there’s so much more to your life to experience and look forward to.) It’s a hauntingly beautiful song, while also being uplifting and catchy! The lyric for the title in particular refers to how Beetlejuice’s own constant brushes with death and eternal rest is seeming more and more desirable with each passing loop, but he keeps going for Lydia and the Maitlands.

- “Devil Town V2” by Cavetown

For chapter four’s title, “Falling doesn’t feel so bad when I know you’re falling this way too”. SPECIFICALLY specifically V.2 because that is my favorite version. It’s about growing up in a tumultuous home, specifically being a child of divorce. The cyclical and downtrodden nature of the song reflects BJ’s outlook at this point in the story, but the title line specifically refers to how his pain is being lessened by no longer being alone in his suffering.

- “So Long” by Tokyo Elvis

For chapter five’s title, “Try to hold the breeze within your fingertips, It’s hopeless”. I can’t find much online about the song, but it has that good cyclical feeling I look for in songs for this fic. This line specifically refers to how Beetlejuice is trying to hold on to the fleeting joy he finds among the routine of the loop, but he can’t hold on to it forever. This song is also just soooooo time loop core, it’s insane.

- “Nobody” by Mitski

For chapter seven’s title, “And I don’t want your pity, I just want somebody near me”. Mitski was my rock throughout writing this chapter. (And the whole fic) If I had less self restraint, the entirety of both of the LoopJuice playlists would be all Mitski. I feel like this song, and the line I chose for the title in particular, really reflect what our sweet little demon wants deep down.

- “This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush

AUUUGH. This song destroys me. For chapter eight’s title, “I know you have a little life in you yet, I know you have a lot of strength left”. Heavily inspired by a scene using this song in “Our Flag Means Death”, I listened to this song endlessly while writing this chapter. I believe it fits it so well for obvious reasons. My brain associates it very heavily with Barbara, but also Beetlejuice and his struggles to have “a little life” in him yet.

Non-titles:

Time loop core

These songs mostly just generally fit the vibe of “stuck in a time loop and it sucks”!

- “Look Who’s Inside Again” by Bo Burnham

It’s hard to explain how Beetlejuice core AND time loop core this is without just. Explaining the entire song.

- “taixu” by lasah, sasakure

One of the songs that actually helped me come up with the plot of this fic! I like imagining the first “crow” as Juno, in my mental animatic. Then the Maitlands as the second “crow”, with him banishing them to the attic. (Fun fact: I originally planned on making a chainshipping animatic to this. I still have it partially plotted out.)

- “Any Day Now” by Bo Burnham

I imagine this is him being in hard denial about the time loop. Or about his feelings.

- “Charlie’s Inferno” by That Handsome Devil

I think this one is fairly obvious in a way maybe

- “Rain” by Jack Stauber

Just listen to this one, and it’ll make sense. Ouch. “Why’s it still raining? I did what I was supposed to. That’s not fair.”

- “You’re at the Party” by Lemon Demon

A song about a man who’s stuck in purgatory after dying in his sleep. Fitting!

- “There’s Something Happening” by Jack Stauber

Vibes, man. Also him pretending everything is hunky-dory

- “Spiral of Ants” by Lemon Demon

Idk how to put this into so many words. This song fucks.

- “Once I’m In My Head” by Jack Stauber

Him being a dumbass struggling to think of a way out.

- “4379” by Jack Stauber

Beetlejuice falling in love over and over, doing the same things over and over.

- “Is Anyone There” by Jack Stauber

Pretty self explanatory!

General Beetlejuice core

Songs that fit Beetlejuice as a character in general to me, as well as loopjuice specifically.

- “Hansel” by Sodikken

A song about a character who was ignored so hard he did something drastic that got him killed. That’s our guy!

- “People Eater” by Sodikken

Love this freak energy. Also, “I think there’s something wrong with me, why can’t I just live happily?” And “Why do you still believe in me?”, and “And I’m baffled why you choose to stay with me, you’re completely free, yet you refuse to leave”. Yikes.

- “Mirror Man” by Jack Stauber

Desperate for attention and approval!

- “A Mask of My Own Face” by Lemon Demon

Adaptable! Will be anything for anyone! Please just stick around, I’ll be anyone

- “Soft Fuzzy Man” by Lemon Demon

Heheh. Fits his weird flirty side.

- “The Mind Electric” by Miracle Musical

A classic Beetlejuice core song.

- “Eighth Wonder” by Lemon Demon

Creature energy. Love him.

- “Sense, Sensibility” by AJJ

Funky demon who doesn’t understand human bullshit!

- “Friends In Low Places” by Worthikids

Mostly referring to how he’s a demon, but also how he could “vanish with no traces” etc.

- “A Human’s Touch” by TWRP

Again, desperate for attention and approval.

- “My Time” by bo en

I feel like this just exudes the same manic energy he does.

- “Fighter” by Jack Stauber

“Call me fighter, I’ll mop the floor with you, call me lover, I’ll take you for a drink or two” and “If you truly loved me, why’d you train me to fight?” Specifically. The second one is a sort of begging call-out to his mom, in my mind.

Beetlands

Mostly from my Beetlands playlist, so I won’t really explain these! I will eventually if I do a dissection on my Beetlands playlist. Maybe

- “It Will Come Back” by Hozier

- “Curses” by The Crane Wives

- “Never Love an Anchor” by The Crane Wives

Beej trauma

- “Mama’s Boy” by Dominic Fike

I guess this only really works if you’ve seen the animation memes…

- “Abbey” by Mitski

He doesn’t know what he’s wanted, but he just knows he was born wanting. (It was love and warmth)

- “The Wolf Song” by Amanda Palmer

Pretty… self explanatory with the lyrics, but for his mother instead of his father.

Specific

- “Goodbye” by Bo Burnham

This song very much fits his mentality of chapter 8, in my mind. Especially “I swear to god that all I’ve ever wanted was, a little bit of everything all of the time, a bit of everything all of the time” he wanted so little, but to him, it was still too much. Too “everything”.

- “The Sword of Damocles” from “Rocky Horror Picture Show”

He talks about the sword of Damocles in the original show, and he feels a sort of constant dread in the fic, heheh.

- “What If Tomorrow Comes” from “Black Friday”

Funny story, this was almost the title of chapter 8! Originally, I had the idea of it ending on a cliffhanger of whether the time loop actually ended or not. That was in very early stages of Loopjuice’s development though, before I decided on making Time’s Arrow. Still holds up to me, with their anxious countdown there at the end!

- “Last Words of a Shooting Star” by Mitski

If you know what this song is about, it makes quite a lot of sense for chapter 8.

- “I Guess” by Mitski

Him thinking this is the end of himself, expressing his care for the others, especially Lydia.

- “Pearl Diver” by Mitski

For when he was so sure he was dying! Also some of the lyrics hurt hard if you think of them from the others’ POVs.

- “Pale Machine” by bo en

In my mental animatic, this is him singing with Lydia, forcing himself to go through the motions each loop to keep her happy. Also, “Hold me, I’m a pale machine, life is just okay out here, anyone can see, I’m lonely”

- “Choice” by Jack Stauber

Ough. It’s hard to elaborate on this one without going beat-per-beat with the animatic I’d make if I had the skills.

- “Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart” by Mitski

Very much fitting with Beej’s thoughts leading up to the ritual in chapter 8. How he’s grown, but how he feels he has to go and how he deserves to be forgotten.

In story references:

- Chapter 8: “So Long” by Tokyo Elvis

Line: “They tried, desperately, to hold it all within their grasp, to savor it, to hold it close. But it’s hopeless. The last day with their BFFF passes like sand through his fingers.”

Original lyric: “Try to hold the breeze within your fingertips, It’s hopeless”

A sort of call back to chapter five’s title, and to allude how he thinks him holding onto these things is hopeless.

- Chapter 8: “Last Words of a Shooting Star” by Mitski

Line: “He empties out their belongings from his hammer space and leaves them in tidy piles in the basement.”

Original lyric: “And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy, They'll think of me kindly, When they come for my things”

See previous note about this song, how the song is about someone dying in some way, and is looking back at how they left things and how they lived.

TIME’S ARROW

Titles:

- “Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart” by Mitski

For chapter one, “There’s some kind of burning inside me, It’s kept me from falling apart”. The song itself fits more with Time is a Flat Circle and chapter nine of this fic, but the selected line specifically is meant to refer how to Beetlejuice is unknowingly reflecting on his deep yearning to be seen and heard and understood, and how it impacted his relationships and his self worth.

- “Mt Washington” by Local Natives

For chapter two, “Digging like you can bury something that cannot die, We could wash the dirt off our hands now”. Both literally relevant and thematically relevant! Beetlejuice is digging for no apparent reason, to Lydia. She doesn’t know he can die, so to her, it’s useless, and they should just go home and wash up. For Beej, he’s trying to “bury something that cannot die”; his guilt, his dread, all his Feelings. You can wash your hands, and try to bury it, but it will not die.

- “A Mask of My Own Face” by Lemon Demon

For chapter three, “A mask of my own face, I’d wear that”. I feel like this one is perhaps the most self-explanatory of the chapter titles, haha. He’s wearing a “mask of his own face”, or putting on a show of a version of himself for the others.

- “Hey, Little Songbird” from “Hadestown”

For chapter four, “Suddenly, nothing is as it was, Where are you now, Orpheus?”. I’m sure we can all connect the dots with this one. Rattlesnake vs songbird, but really, wolf vs lamb.

- “Good Luck, Babe!” By Chappell Roan

For chapter five, “Good luck, babe! You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling”. Pretty literal and self explanatory. Beej is trying to bury all of those pink fuzzy Feelings, but that’s impossible.

- “No Children” by The Mountain Goats

For the first half of chapter six’s title, “I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow, I hope it bleeds all day long”. Two songs for the two very different vibes! This first half reflects how Beetlejuice was relying on pain to distract him from his Feelings. Also, “No Children” is a good song for Beej in general, for a few of his past relationships.

- “Samson” by Regina Spektor

For the second half of chapter six’s title, “You are my sweetest downfall”. Basically, Beej admitting to himself that the Maitlands are his “downfall”. His Feelings for them are fatal, in his head. Also this song just fits Beetlands so well to me, oh my god.

- “Strawberry Blonde” by Mitski

For another split chapter! This is the first half of chapter seven, “I love everybody because I love you!”. That fits the majority of the chapter, and how his new official relationship with the Maitlands fills him with so much warmth and joy to spread to others.

- “Gross” by Penelope Scott

For the second half of chapter seven, “But I’m just a chemical compound, You’re just the gun in my mouth”. Good contrast to the other song, and between his relationships. Beetlejuice is just a being, trying his best, and he knows Cyrus will be the “death” of him. This whole song is sooooo Beetlejuice and Cyrus core, it’s insane. Also it goes HARD.

- “October Passed Me By” by girl in red

For chapter eight, “October passed me by just like any month”. Very extremely literal. October passes him by in a blur, as does the rest of the year shortly after. This song is also a personal dagger to the heart for me, and LoopJuice is based on me, so it hurts him too, lol.

- “Never Love an Anchor” by The Crane Wives

For chapter nine, “I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel, I am all the things they might have said to you”. This song is sooo. Beetlejuice. Beetlands. LoopJuice. I’m obsessed with this song. This title is him worrying about what the others think of him, and what they will say about him after he’s gone. How he feels so horrid for what he’s done, and believes wholeheartedly that he deserves it for his actions and such. I love you The Crane Wives!!

- “Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl” by yeule

For chapter ten, “Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that, Now you’re all gone, got your make-up on, and you’re not coming back”. Haha, get it? Because this chapter’s from the POV of a 17 year-old demigirl? Also, it is meant to reflect their relationship and her mental space throughout it. The dream-like quality of the song is meant to mirror how confused and adrift Lydia feels here. Also, “I Saw The TV Glow” is very important to me and to this fic series in general, hence the constant references to it.

- “Wait For Me (Reprise)” from “Hadestown”

For chapter eleven, “Wait for me, I’m comin’, Wait, I’m comin’ with you”. Either from “Wait for Me” or “Wait for Me (Reprise)”, both work! Mostly the first one. Pretty obvious, and blatantly connected to the “Hadestown” / Orpheus and Eurydice through line!

- “Flowers” from “Hadestown”

For chapter twelve, “Flowers, I remember fields of flowers”. Now we’re seeing our Eurydice’s perspective! Very literal. At one point, all Beetlejuice can remember is flowers.

- “Everything Stays (feat. Olivia Olson)” from “Adventure Time”

For chapter thirteen, “Everything stays, But it still changes, Ever so slightly, daily and nightly, In little ways, when everything stays”. Thank you Cosmo! The vibe of the song “Today Today” by Jack Stauber really fits this chapter, as I hear the ending as a happy reunion, and I’ve been planning to use it for this chapter for forever. Unfortunately the lyrics don’t fit, so I went with the next best song! Also, Beej has changed quite a bit. In little ways and big ways, but still he (and everyone) stays.

- “First Love/Late Spring” by Mitski

For chapter fourteen, “So please hurry leave me, I can't breathe, Please don't say you love me”. It’s meant to reflect Beej’s crushing guilt and turbulent mental state.

- “Claw Machine” by Sloppy Jane

For chapter fifteen, “But my heart is like a claw machine, It’s only function is to reach, It can't hold on to anything”. This song works well for both LoopJuice and Corpsejuice. I wanted to tie the “I Saw The TV Glow” themes back in again, and to reflect how Beej still holds a negative image of himself and his ability to hold onto relationships. Hopefully, that image changes soon, wink wink! Also this song fucks. It goes so hard. The whole soundtrack for that movie does.

- “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” by The Smiths

For chapter sixteen, “So for once in my life, Let me get what I want, Lord knows, it would be the first time”. Because gets what he wants in this chap :) (Also listen to that song and think of LoopJuice if you wanna cry a bit.)

- “You Can Always Come Home” by Toby Fox

For chapter seventeen, of the same title. This is the first and probably only LoopJuice chapter to not have lyrics for the title! Instead, it’s from a song title. It’s meant to be Beetlejuice to Lydia, as well as myself to the reader. You can always return to this fic, if it brings you comfort. It will always be here for you. I highly recommend listening to this song while reading.

This song very much reflects Beej’s mentality on how he sucks and all. And how he loves his family.

- “Dead Weight” by Jack Stauber

He feels like dead weight! This is mostly vibes.

- “Furniture” by Owen Pallett

Fits poor Beej’s trauma with his mother and avoidant tendencies!

- “Coyotes” by Modest Mouse

This song. I can’t. Go into too many specifics. This song is everything to me. I don’t know how to explain it

- “A Sadness Runs Through Him” by The Hoosiers

Pretty self explanatory for our boy! “He could not break surface tension, He looked in the wrong place for redemption”

Beetlands

She misses her mama.

- “Skeleton Song” by Kate Nash

This has always been a Beetlejuice and Lydia’s friendship song for me. Fuck. The ending, for me, is about the ritual.

Cyrus:

- “Me and My Husband” by Mitski

To me, this is a song about a woman from the 50s trapped in a loveless marriage, where she’s basically just an accessory for her husband. Fits Beej and Cyrus’ relationship!

- “maggot belly” by awfultune

Oof. This song is… rough. I won’t say too much about it. It is a pretty triggering one for some folks.

Specifics:

- “Lima Bean Man” by Jack Stauber

Remember those scenes where Beej thought Cyrus was going to / had killed Barbara? Yeah…

- “STRAIGHT DOWN” by Worthikids

I can’t tell you much about how this applies to LoopJuice without spoiling the series it comes from, so I won’t say anything. Because I need more people to watch it.

- “Leopard” by Jack Stauber

In my head, very vividly, this song is Beej stumbling and suffering through the second time loop stuff.

- “Our Word” from “36 Questions”

Specifically the ending part, in my head, is Beej being taken, and imagining what the others would say about him. Ouch.

- “Who Was She” from “Centaurworld”

I feel like this one is pretty clear, hehe.

- “The Moon Will Sing” by The Crane Wives

This is specifically about Deb. “I shine only with the light you gave me”, etc.

- “Today Today” by Jack Stauber

Everyone going through the motions while Beej is missing, sort of mentally not there. The happy-sounding ending is him returning.

- “Neath the grove is a heart” by Yaelokre

About Beej slowly forgetting everything in the second loop, mostly. Poor boy.

- “Pink in the Night” by Mitski

RAAAH. I love you Mitksi. There’s so many little things in this song I connect to loopjuice, it’s insane.

- “Coma Baby” by Nichole Dollanganger

Post Beej returning from his second time loop. “You’re just a shell of the boy that you’ve been”. Ouch!

- “I’d Rather Sleep” by Kero Kero Bonito

Reflects what the title says. For a while after his return, all Beej wanted to do was sleep.

- “What Did You Do” by Jack Stauber

“Thanks for taking the time to know my name”.

- “Who Is She? (Reprise)” from “Centaurworld”

This is right before Cyrus takes him.

- “Darren” by Jack Stauber

THIS IS. SO HIM. ALL OF IT. AHHH!! Oh my god.

- “Crocodile Tears” by Jack Stauber

How he feels everything is his fault, and his pain is not deserved.

- “Premonition” by Toby Fox

Okay. Kinda crazy. But I specifically think of this one as right after Beej finds out the terms of his and Cyrus’ Deal, when he’s stumbling through the forest.

- “Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus” by Nichole Dollanganger

Mostly for the title. And the vibes, for right after Beej took off his blindfold, before Larry found him.

- “Undertale” by Toby Fox

It feels nice. Like Home.

In story references:

- Chapter 1: “The Moon Will Sing” by The Crane Wives

Line: “She was light. He shone only with the light she cast. She was everything.”

Original lyric: “Bore the shadows that you made, With no light of my own”

This song greatly embodies Deb and Beej’s relationship, and how it was very one-sided and draining for him. He basked in the limited attention and affection she showed, and allowed his own needs and wants to be pushed aside in favor of Deb’s.

- Chapter 1: “Cop Car” by Mitski

Line: “He is cruel. He is gentle. He makes him laugh.”

Original lyric: “I am cruel, I am gentle, I can make you laugh”

“Cop Car” really embodies parts of this chapter and Loopjuice’s character as a whole. He also genuinely saw Cyrus as gentle, until he just… wasn’t.

- Chapter 1: “Gross” by Penelope Scott

Line: “(It was so easy, so salty and gross - )”

Original lyric: “It was so easy with you, so salty and gross”

Like I said before, really embodies Beej and Cyrus’ relationship. It was so much easier to give himself into something “gross”, something “salty” and painful, than to face his real Feelings.

- Chapter 1: “Tongues & Teeth” by The Crane Wives

Line: “I will ruin you. I know that you mean so well- ”

Original lyric: “Oh, I will ruin you” … “I know that you mean so well, But I am not a vessel for your good intent”

An extremely Beetlejuice / Beetlands coded song, fairly literal. I listen to that song sooo much and think of them.

- Chapter 1: “Curses” by The Crane Wives

Line: “But rain is washing the blood away. The smoke clears.”

Original lyric: “Every word I say is kindling, But the smoke clears when you're around”

The Crane Wives in general are very LoopJuice / Beetlejuice / beetlands coded to me. This was meant to be a nod to the song, but it and the song in general also applies to him very heavily.

- Chapter 2: “Feel Better” by Penelope Scott

Line: “Lydia could tell, then, that she certainly had a heart.”

Original lyric: “But when my head hit my cheap pillow, I could tell I had a heart”

This song as a whole fit both Beetlejuice and Lydia so well. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell you have a heart. Then it reminds you.

- Chapter 2: “Just For Once” from “Black Friday”

Line: “Just for a moment, your life could be just what you wanted.” … “Just for once, just for a moment.”

Original lyric: “But just for once, my life could be just what I wanted”

Mostly just because the song goes SO HARD, and is thematically relevant here.

- Chapter 2: “When He Sees Me” from “Waitress”

Line: “You give your all, and you get so much given back.”

Original lyric: “What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?”

Suuuuuuuper Beetlands song, for obvious reasons. Also, again, thematically relevant.

- Chapter 2: “Love Love Love” by The Mountain Goats

Line: “The things you do for love come back to you one by one.”

Original lyric: “But the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one”

It is one of the gentler songs on the LoopJuice playlists, and reflects more feelings of acceptance and uneasy peace.

- Chapter 2: “Personal” by Stars

Line: “Don’t be too much. Heavy is the cost.”

Original lyric: “Sorry to be heavy, but heavy is the cost, Heavy is the cost”

Give this song a listen. It doesn’t quite fit LoopJuice, but the idea of “heavy is the cost” fits well.

- Chapter 2: “Please Eat” by Nichole Dollanganger

Line: “Parts of you are already gone.”

Original lyric: “There's parts of you already gone I can never revive”

LoopJuice doesn’t have an eating disorder similar to the one this song is about, but the line hits hard and is very thematically relevant.

- Chapter 3: “Stray Italian Greyhound” by Vienna Teng

Line: “Oh no. … Oh no, not now. … Please, not now. … But, of course, some sort of ridiculous “Feeling” had to come along.”

Original lyric: “Oh no, not now, Please not now, I've just settled into the glass half empty, made myself at home, And so why now?, Oh, please not now, I just stopped believing in happy endings, harbors of my own”

A very pivotal song in the playlist, and a very pivotal moment. That “FUCK I just settled for a shitty life, and now I’m feeling Feelings??”. Y’know!

- Chapter 7: “Like Real People Do” by Hozier

Line: “Not just slightly sardonic or glibly nihilistic, but happy. Like real people do.”

Original lyric: “We should just kiss like real people do”

Mostly just a reference, since it’s a Beetlands song to me, and I love Hozier.

- Chapter 8: “Sweet Hibiscus Tea” by Penelope Scott

Line: “Exhaustion weighed down their limbs, the heaviness of it all threatening to crack their collarbone as it settled down heavily on their shoulders.”

Original lyric: “The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash, The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash”

This song is very Beetlejuice, but also the dread of this part fits very well.

- Chapter 8: “Never Love an Anchor” by The Crane Wives

Line: “Exhaustion weighed down their limbs, the heaviness of it all threatening to crack their collarbone as it settled down heavily on their shoulders.”

Original lyric: “There is love that doesn't have a place to rest, But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders”

Beetlands. Beetlejuice. What else can I say?

- Chapter 8: “The Bed Song” by Amanda Palmer

Line: “They all sat in a semi-comfortable silence, the ghosts’ arms wrapped around his midsection, Adam’s lips in his hair while Barbara rested her cheek on his collarbone.”

Original lyric: “We have one filthy pillow to share and your lips are in my hair”

Used to be one of my favorite sad songs, but now I know the singer’s a piece of shit. I wanted to highlight the sweet intimacy of the scene.

- Chapter 9: “Dead Girls” by Penelope Scott

Line: “The living need attention too, Ash. It’s okay.”

Original lyrics: “And if all you ever see are dead girls, If all you hear is terrible news, Maybe it's not all about the dead girls, Maybe it's more about you, The living need attention too”

A very important song on Ash’s playlist. Can’t say too much more.

- Chapter 9: “you smell of dead flowers” by vslush, cover by Cliesel

Line: “(How could no one see it? He felt so happy, but still he felt pieces of him slowly dying and rotting away. How could no one see that he was rotten? That he was dying?)”

Original lyric: “Wanted to scream, wanted to shout, how did you not know?, How did you not realize I was rotten?”

- Chapter 9: “Yo, Girl” from “Heathers”

Line: “ “Hello, pet.” Time’s up.”

Original lyric: “Too late, he got in” … “Knock knock!”

Just a reference to a musical I love and also to highlight the dread Beej feels here!

- Chapter 9: “I’m Your Man” by Mitski

Line: “One day you'll figure me out, I'll meet judgment by the hounds” … “I’m sorry I was the one you loved.” … “People always gave me love, Others were never to blame after all”

Original lyric: (just the same thing!)

This song is. So many things to me. These lines are very literal for Beej at the time, but also. Auuuugh. Oh my god. So Beetlejuice core.

- Chapter 11: “Livin’ It Up On Top” from “Hadestown”

Line: “Is she living it up on top?”

Original lyric: “Where are we livin' it?, Livin' it up on top”

Just another “Hadestown” reference! :)

- Chapter 12: “Who Is She (Reprise)” / “Who Was She” from “Centaurworld”

Line: “What did they think of him, now that he was gone? What were they saying?”

Original lyric: “I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Rider. I'm sorry I left the way I did. If you knew what I was gonna do you would've tried to stop me. At least all of you are safe now. It's over. I wonder what you all must be thinking. What are you saying about me, now that I'm gone?”

Those songs heavily inspired these scenes, so I wanted to give them a little reference!

- Chapter 15: “The Bed Song” by Amanda Palmer

Line: “Beetlejuice just laid there, mostly paralyzed, staring up at the strange glowing shapes dotting his ceiling.”

Original lyric: “Now we're both mostly paralyzed, Don't know how long we've been lying here in fear, Too afraid to even feel”

Mostly meant to parallel how Beej is stuck in a place where he could easily get out with help. Like the ending of the song, “I would have told you, if you’d only asked me”

You Can Always Come Home

- “Army Dreamers in 29edo” by Deister Orchestra

Purely vibes. “Army Dreamers” isn’t really a Loopjuice song, more Corpsejuice. (Perhaps in LITPT tho)

- “L’amore dice Ciao (Main Titles) - Remastered” by Armando Trovajoli

Again, vibes. Gentle and happy and twinged with a little sadness.

- “Love Story” by The Newton Brothers

I won’t explain this because that would be spoiling “The Haunting of Bly Manor”, and I refuse to do that. If you know, you know.

- “You Can Always Come Home” by Toby Fox

Both for the title and the gentle, welcoming feeling the song gives.

- “In Our Bedroom After The War” by Stars

For all of the characters as a whole. I have a fun mental animatic for this one. About finally feeling like the “war” is over, and things are “beginning”.

- “Will You Remember?” by The Cranberries

A bit of a reminder about Beej going to forget everything, even his wedding and his beloved sister.

- “It’s You, It’s Me, It’s Us” by Reinaeiry

Again, “The Haunting of Bly Manor”.

- “Remember Me (Lullaby)” from “Coco”

Vibes once again. Also, because Beej and Lydia have to be apart from each other.

- “Pilvet liikkuu, minä en” by Yona

I don’t know any of the words to this song because I don’t speak the language, but the vibes fit Loopjuice so well. The last line translates to, “And I don’t wish anything else on my journey but, Happiness”. Oough.

- “Love Like You (feat. Rebecca Sugar)” from “Steven Universe”

C’mon.

- “Everything Stays (feat. Olivia Olson)” from “Adventure Time”

C’mon.

- “That Distant Shore (feat. Jennifer Paz)” from “Steven Universe”

C’MON! Sooooo loopjuice core, the lyrics are. Oh my god.

- “Strawberry Blond” by Mitski

Repeat for Beetlands reasons.

- “Pink in the Night” by Mitski

“I glow pink in the night in my room, I've been blossoming alone over you”. Need I say more?

- “Ready Now” by dodie

BEETLANDS. THE WORDS. THE GENTLE MUSIC. AHHH!! “You saw through me all this time, I'd forgotten people are kind, I was hurting and you knew, So you showed me what to do” … “You said "I will listen, tell me it all, You don't like the ending?, Then we'll find one that's yours", Oh, how did you know?, That's all we need?, A promise of hope, Is enough to feel free”

- “Samson” by Regina Spektor

Mostly for the sweet, loving tone. Also Beetlands as fuck.

[wizardlover124]

mitski album announced so i have thoughts about rose lalonde.

in MY opinion rose lalonde grew up as such a reactive little spitfuck because she was never reacted to as a child. nothing she did got an active response from shit-faced-drunk mom, so she learned to escalate and lash out and verbally annihilate people to prompt something from them (see: grimdark, see: suicide threats). she pokes and prods because it will keep them engaged, because genuine sentiment can be rejected but nobody likes to be mildly condescended towards. the delusion with which she approaches the "one uppmanship" game with mom, and the amount of attachment she has to it, stems from the fact that it's a stable reaction. every time she makes her move, she anxiously waits for the next ten days to see if and how mom will react. every time mom makes hers, it's this cathartic adrenaline rush and reassurance that she is worth at least that much to her mother. she has learned to sustain herself off practically nothing, grasping at any emotional thread and evidence that she is a daughter to her, and later even recognizes this insanity as her mother's best shot at love, just like how mom might have grasped at grandpa harley. to the core she is her mother's child. killing myself.

[tortol]

v important quastion. what mitski songs do u think r lilith clawthorne core. second important q. would lilith clawthorne listen to mitski in ur opinion. okay thanks

OHHGAGGG this is a VERY GOOD ASK. the actual perfect ask for me to receive. i’m doing a giddy leg wiggle. i LITERALLY have a playlist of exclusively mitski songs that remind me of lilith on my old phone and you made me charge it and turn it back on just to check my sacred archives i’m so excited

a horse named cold air (EXTREMELY lilith song and i’ve never heard anyone talk about that. her whole entire character arc is there)

remember my name (also extremely lilith song)

class of 2013 (duh)

working for the knife (duh)

pearl diver

francis forever (in regards to her mom mostly but also eda)

fireworks (i think this one is great and oozing with lilithness because there’s a line about how her eye is greying)

a burning hill (particularly s2a lilith)

nobody (from her Good Times in the coven. i think she was very, very lonely)

honestly i feel like there could be a couple more but these are just so straightforward and lilithful. i kind of want to say i bet on losing dogs, my body’s made of crushed little stars and geyser because my brain could do a backflip to relate them to her but that’s not really what the songs are about. they could be if you’re insane enough, though.

second v important answer: actually i don’t think lilith would really listen to mitski, like, religiously. she enjoys the music but she wouldn’t just grab her headphones and Crack A Last Words of a Shooting Star on a daily basis. her music taste consists predominantly of ambient noises, classical music and very cathartic emo songs she’s embarrassed to admit she listens to but there’s not an inbetween. probably one of the kids on the hexsquad introduces her to mitski *after* all the shit goes down and she’s more established as everyone’s cool aunt. maybe then she’d give herself some time to listen to mitski and bake a nice cake and process her feelings.

edit: i also found a picture i drew circa 2021 after KUA came out that i think is relevant to this conversation

[badlandsdeluxeedition]

okay so i analyzed a pearl for my english final last year. i had to do it in a lot diagram format😭

Plot Diagram 

PLOT:

Title : A Pearl (Song)

Author : Mitski

PROTAGONIST vs. ANTAGONIST:

Narrator vs. Self-destructive habits/behaviors

CONFLICT:

 Feeling unsafe/uncomfortable in a safe and healthy environment 

 because you’re so used to abuse and toxicity, leading to

 self-destructive behaviors/habits, along with being unable to 

 navigate a healthy relationship.

RISING ACTION:

(List examples that create complications or suspense)

“You  love me so hard and I still can’t sleep”

↳ The speaker is not trusting of their new partner 

       despite them showing how much they love the speaker.

 “I’m sorry I don’t want your touch

  It’s not that I don’t want you”

↳ The speaker is having trouble accepting physical 

  affection/intimacy from their partner

 “It’s just that I fell in love with a war

  Nobody told me it ended”

↳ The speaker ‘fell in love with a war,’ they became so 

  used to abuse it became normal, now, with this new 

  partner, they no longer know how to feel. And, maybe, 

  they crave abuse and toxicity because it’s what’s 

  Familiar, it’s safe.

CLIMAX:

“And it left a pearl in my hand

 And I roll it around

 Every night, just to watch it glow

 Every night, baby, that’s where I go”

↳  The “pearl” is a metaphor for self-destructive

   behaviors. The narrator “rolls it around,” and,

   in doing so, indulges in these behaviors. They

   might make the relationship toxic because that’s

   what they’re used to. They could pick fights over

   nothing or act like their abusers to create that

   familiar environment once again.

FALLING ACTION: 

“There’s a hole that you fill”

↳ The narrator acknowledges that their partner 

  fills this hole, making them complete. This 

  hole is the one created because of abuse, the

  narrator lost a part of them. 

RESOLUTION: 

In the final stanza, Mitski repeats things she said earlier in the song. Because of this, some might say there is no resolution, but, to me, she is making the narrator speak directly to their new partner during these lines. The narrator, instead of hiding these habits, is sharing and explaining them to their partner. They are helping their partner understand why they act certain ways or react to things in a “weird” or “odd” way.

THEME:

 The theme of “A Pearl” by Mitski is very clearly spelled out:  

 being so used to abuse that you are unable to live in a non-abusive environment.

EXPOSITION:

 Setting: 

A healthy, non-abusive relationship

 Situation/climate:

Being uncomfortable in a healthy relationship, leading

  to self-destructive behaviors and actions.

 Characters:

The narrator (The person who was living in an abusive relationship)

The new, non-abusive partner

While it can’t be considered a literal, physical character, abuse, core beliefs, and trauma/trauma responses are characters in my view.

so yeah. i love mitski, basically

hannah you always have the most eloquent beautiful analysis of this song i’ve seen yet. i have so many other thoughts but it’s 11pm here so i’ll probably add on my own thoughts later but omg this is a work of art

[littlevandalist]

Im so nobody by mitski core

[nonbinary-sticks-the-badger]

kinda wanna explain my song choices in this playlist like usual but as i said im trying to be annoying and pretentious and cryptic here so instead im just gonna say how much each song fits

1. DINNER! femtanyl

fits very well!

2. LOVESICK, CANNIBAL! femtanyl

being frank im not entirely sure what this song is about but i can tell it doesnt really fit that well beyond the title (which also doesnt fit perfectly)

3. PUSH UR T3MPRR femtanyl

i mean vaguely, yes

4. Virtual Paradise Machine Girl

FREE PASS - INSTRUMENTAL

5. S33K H3LP femtanyl

i mean its technically not instrumental but the lyrics are so vague i can make them into whatever i want. also you can barely tell what she's saying

6. ...Because I'm Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For Machine Girl

not really no

7. Lost Umbrella INABAKUMORI

i still havent got around to looking up a translation so it's mostly vibes (which also are a stretch)

8. 1:15 8485

YES YEAH YAYYYYYYYY PRETTY MUCH PERFECT FIT

9. Black Is The New Black Goreshit

if any breakcore purists get at me for including a goreshit song then i dont careeeee. i havent listened to any of his other songs nor do i know about him as a person so if people hate goreshit for genuine reasons then my bad. also no this doesnt even slightly fit

10. Doku Hakushi Hasegawa

this song has pretty vague lyrics iirc so i can do what i like

11. People Eater Sodikken

it does FIT but also i dont think it works well with the general sound of the playlist :(

12. Liquid Smooth Mitski

yes but it's not the focus of the au

13. Townie Mitski

YES YES ABSOLUTELY

14. Fuck Me (I Didn't Know How To Say) Crawlers

yes and no??? it does fit but id just like to clarify the sexual part doesnt??? but the sex part is vital to the plot of the song. idk how to explain this but ANYWAY!!!

there are a lot of songs in this playlist with heavy sexual themes because they fit the narrative HOWEVER i promise there are no sexual themes in the narrative

15. Fly Away Teddyloid

i have no idea why i even added this in the first place i just dont wanna take it out

16. Just For Me Pink Pantheress

i mean yes but at the same time i always felt like the obsession in this song feels deeply unhealthy and im kinda worried nobody else interprets it that way so id just like to clarify that's how i interpret it

17. Come Over (Again) Crawlers

only a little bit (i mostly added it because i havent listened to crawlers in ages)

18. GIRL HELL 1999 femtanyl

im like 99% sure this is about being a trans woman so itt doesnt really link to the themes im thinking of but i like this song so i can do what i like

19. AM FM Vertigoaway

FREE PASS - INSTRUMENTAL

20. Brk.Temp Graham Kartna

FREE PASS - INSTRUMENTAL (also this is sort of hard to listen to which is absolutely perfect)

21. Nimbasa CORE plasterbrain

only a little bit

22. KATAMARI femtanyl

no not really

23. GOT UR NUMB3R (v2) bugcried

a bit too sweet and cheesy for this but whatever

24. Lovefool The Cardigans

YES YEAH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH YES IT DOES YESSSSSSS

[purpledonutpeanutturkey]

Thought daughter thoughts.

Song: Nobody by Mitski

Lyrics: "Venus planet of love was destroyed by global warming, did its people want too much too?"

Interpretation: Through books and movies, I believe we have been shown a false idea of what love is and how it works. Love is a human emotion, therefore it is also flawed. Nowadays we expect love to do everything for us, we expect it to make us happy and whole, it's a common quote that "love is all we need" but obviously that is not the case, we have not only destroyed what love is, but I not sure we ever knew what it was, what it means to be loved and what being loved looks like. For me the earliest memory of what being loved looked like to me, it stems from the bible. I make one mistake and I'm sent to hell to burn for an eternity. Is that love? Hurting people because they don't obey you. I don't know. Venus is similar to earth in the sense that human beings want too much from it. We push the earth to its very core so we can profit off it similar to how we push love to its very core so we can profit from it.

. I can't know what love is but I know what it's not, I know that's somehow, I have profited from it. Love has kept me alive. Because I love, I have continued to endure living even though I fail to see the point in it but I think of my family and my friends, how much I love them, and how sad it would be to see me go. Somehow it still feels selfish.

[intoloopin-archive]

⭐ – for everyone!

GIO.

Dani, you chose VIOLENCE. I tried to pick ones I haven't mentioned before!

⭐️ ── a theme song.

TAESONG:

Oh baby here we are, I made a wish on shootin' stars / It would be so tragic if we abandoned this part, no / Baby we've journeyed too far / No U-turns my sweetheart.

He loves this fucking group so bad, God bless his heart and soul. Get these dudes OFF HIS KITCHEN.

MINWOO:

But it's just that I fell in love with a war / And nobody told me it ended / And it left a pearl in my head / And I roll it around every night / Just to watch it glow / Every night, baby, that's where I go.

Mitski just can't stop writing songs about him, it's so silly of her.

SEUNGSOO:

Maybe it's in the gutter / Where I left my lover / What an expensive fake / My V is for Vendetta / Thought that I'd feel better / But now I got a bellyache.

He can't make a single good decision to save his life.

HARUKI:

One hug of yours can solve so much / Don't give me a single reason to run away because I don't want to / Be yours or be sincere? You want me? I'm at your mercy / I don't feel things halfway, baby, I go overboard.

Someday he will quit self sabotaging! Fingers crossed!

DYLAN:

So many balconies and no one ever uses them / So many balconies and no one ever uses them / Your nostrils are bleeding chocolate out / You're eating chocolate.

It's all about being terrified of the past, present and future with Chihoon.

GYUJIN:

Speak to me the language of love / The language of violence, the language of the heart / This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love / Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough.

He just gets it. He knows exactly what's going on.

O.Z:

Never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi / But I'd save a life if I thought it belonged to you / Mary Magdalene would never let her loved ones down.

I am so normal about how much Zhiming is the whole Magdalene album at his core. So normal. No one has ever heard a thing about it or anything.

HANJAE:

I know that I ended it, but / Why won't you chase after me? / You know me better than I do / So why didn't you stop me? / Why didn't you stop me.

Local man wants to feel wanted so bad it makes him sick, would rather be struck by lightening then communicating it.

J.J:

And I've always been too smart for that, but you know what? / My heart was not, I took it like a kid, you see / The cool kids voted to get rid of me / I'm ashamed of what it did to me / What I let get done / It stole my fun, it stole my fun.

It's so spot on about everything he is and been trought that it sounds biographical. Anyone can really roll his eyes at him and kill.

HAEGON:

I've been traveling so long, I don't think I can hold on / Where were you when I needed you the most? / Now I'm sitting here with a black hole in my chest / A heartless, broken mess.

Yikes, dude. Yikes.
