#not an ipod shuffle tho

[faithdeans]

on a more positive note tho it may not count as an mpreg player but I’ve just busted out the iPod shuffle in honour of the post o7 it may not be much but it has olly murs and like uh idk fuckinn 5 seconds of summer ???? I just asked my homie Darren to put olly murs on it and no one direction those were my only preferences to what he decided to chuck on there and he put all this other stuff on it. He still put one direction on it but it’s okay I’ve grown as a person so I know I don’t have to be not like the other girls I can just be a boy

cjhdjsfj this is amazing. i found the mpreg player in question the other day, it doesn't work but i thknk i'm gonna frame it or something. i am proud of you for your growth <3

[cmdonovann]

happy homestuck day!! ive been meaning to do quantum break homestuck au art for... literally over a year, lol. so here's their godtiers!

jack is a knight of time, paul is a seer of light, beth is a rogue of void, and will is an heir of doom. don't ask me to explain because i will never shut up (please god ask me to explain i want an excuse to talk about this au)

more info about this au under the cut!!

i actually have a whole document about this au because ive been thinking about it since like, mid 2021, lol. but here's all the info about their sburb session:

CLASSPECTS jack - knight of time will - heir of doom beth - rogue of void paul - seer of light

LUNAR SWAYS jack - prospit will - prospit beth - derse paul - derse

CHUMHANDLES jack - chronoCrash will - timeTraveler beth - graffitiGoddess (or if you wanna goof, totoAfrica) paul - alliedAntagonist

TEXT COLORS jack - #006666 will - #00FF99 beth - #990000 paul - #FFCC00

SYLLADEX FETCH MODUS(ES? MODI?) jack - shuffle (like an ipod shuffle, it picks at random and you have to just skip through until you find what you want) will - something extremely mathematical idk beth - the one where you draw what you want from your sylladex (like jade has) paul - literally just queuestack like john has lol hes basic about his sylladex. maybe he would upgrade it to like, a dewey decimal system type fetch modus later on tho

STRIFE SPECIBUS(ES? SPECIBI? IDK) jack - gunbladekind (it is a foam cosplay weapon lol) will - canekind (his grandfather's fancy old cane) beth - batkind (baseball bat) paul - butterflykind (he has a butterfly knife, it was a gift from jack)

LANDS jack - land of steel and storms will - land of fractals and dice beth - land of bricks and graffiti paul - land of butterflies and glass

GUARDIANS jack - emily joyce (formerly pope) - mother will - casper darling - grandfather beth - dylan faden - "uncle" paul - jesse serene (formerly faden) - mother

POST-SCRATCH SESSION emily pope - maid of mind, prospit casper darling - thief of hope, prospit dylan faden - bard of heart, derse jesse faden - prince of space, derse

yeah, because they dont have a space player in the QB session it is technically unwinnable, so jack would have to scratch the session. the post-scratch session is control characters bc Why Not tbh, i think it makes sense. polaris is like a first guardian in this au (so she's like the becquerel to jesse's jade, if you catch my drift, including eventually prototyping herself, then self-prototyping with jesse's dreamself so that when jesse godtiers, polaris becomes a part of her. i just love that concept so much lol)

anyway back to the qb characters tho!! in this au, they all know each other cuz they play d&d together online. will is their dm. will and jack dont live together anymore (will went to study abroad and is staying with his & jack's grandfather, who is a scientist) hence why they play online. this is how they end up playing sburb together.

jack is the first to enter the game, followed by paul, then beth, then will last (he does NOT like jack being his server player, lol).

as far as who reaches godtier first... i have thought about this a lot actually and i think paul, being a seer of light, is the first to figure out how to godtier, but is not the first to do it because he is afraid to die. in the end, jack probably makes it to godtier first, entirely by accident (he probably does something stupid and gets horrendously injured, and someone-- maybe paul?-- carries him to his quest bed). after jack has reached godtier, paul asks his help with it, and gets jack to kill him >:3c because of course jack is the only one he would trust to do that >>>;3c

asdhjklhgfdsdfghjk ANYWAY. i am... probably not going to write this au anytime soon, as i have several other WIPs on my plate right now, but i like rotating it in my mind like a rotisserie chicken sometimes regardless. you know how it is.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

roxy's music tastes i feel is p clearly defined throughout the fic. i dont remember if you talked about her dad's and if maybe that influenced it? would also love to know ur thoughts on the rest of the cast's music tastes pre-btr

imo i feel like even tho the series is based on a musical group, theres not much music based storylines? so its rly fun to read more of the music side of things with roxy <3

RAHHHHH THANK YOU FOR ASKING... i spend a lot of time thinking about roxy's musical interest but i don't spend much about the rest of the cast aside from a few offhanded mentions here and there. this was a challenge to put together but it was so fun! <3

the main thing i want to mention before i dive into oc music taste is the presence of music surrounding my story! every chapter title, song mentioned, musical influence etc i'm trying to keep within the timeframe + past in which the story takes place. as someone who was not really aware of popular radio in 2009, this is a very fun challenge for me.

Here is the fic playlist if anyone is interested!

It features the song where I got the title of the fic first, then the chapter titles! (and a sneak peak of the next few titles of unreleased chapters <3) These songs aren't meant to reflect anything onto the characters, it's basically just my own music taste fitting the chapters.

Now into the real question... Musical notes! Please find everything under the cut for Rox, her dad, the boys, Jo, and Camille :)

Roxy

what type of music does your oc like? Like you said, her music taste is pretty clearly defined! She's into just a bit of everything, though prefers pop and rock music above all else. Since she worked at a radio station, she was lucky enough to have access to all sorts of music, and when the station went digital, the owner let her keep all of the ancient cassette tapes they used to store everything on! Through combing through these albums from across many generations, she's been able to cultivate what she's into on her own, though her biggest musical influence is definitely her dad! If he wasn't into punk/rock she wouldn't be either. do they listen to music very often? Yes! I don't show this too often in my fic, but I think she listens to music a lot because she prefers it to silence - especially when she's alone in her apartment. What she listens to depends on her mood, and she has a bunch of different mix tapes she's made/she's found to match. So one of those could be on, one of her favorite albums could be on, or she could just pull her iPod out and put that little thing on shuffle to let the machine decide... Endless possibility! musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - James - The Fray - The Pussycat Dolls - Boyquake (in universe boy band) - Taylor Swift - Green Day - Jonas Brothers - Jordin Sparks - Dak Zevon (look out girl!) - Oasis - NSYNC - Kelly Clarkson - Lady Gaga - Nirvana - Big Time Rush :) Special side note: No bearing on anything above here, but if 5 Seconds of Summer were around during the timeframe of this story they would 100000% be her favorite band. They're the perfect blend of everything she loves music-wise, wrapped up in a four hot boy package. I'm incapable of listening to their music without going 'omg this is so her'

2. Declan Somerset

what type of music does your oc like? Declan is a rock/punk/metal kinda guy but specifically the sub-genre of these types of music that culminate into local gigs at shit dive bars and basement shows. As a youngin he stumbled into a basement show with some of his friends (soon to be bandmates) and just loved the atmosphere so much he roped his friends into making their own band so they could be active participants in their community. He's the kinda guy to be like "oh, yeah, i like this band, they're super underground idk if you know them" but like... he's right. No one else in Minnesota is listening to Rainbow Sludge Baby Guts Explosion or Sexy Fishing Rod Brigade or whatever that band he saw last night was called. For him, it's not so much about the actual music, but the community surrounding it, but he would love to hit the stage and shred again if someone let him! do they listen to music very often? When Roxy was home, he would listen to whatever she had on! Her music listening habits didn't change from Minnesota to California, so whatever she put on was just background to him. Now that she's gone, he finds the house is a lot more quiet than it used to be. The only time he really finds himself listening to music is if he's at a show or if he's playing it himself. musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Nothing concrete yet! Perhaps will be expanded on in future chapters <3

3. Carlos

what type of music does your oc like? Very briefly mentioned in chapter 18 but Carlos is a big fan of Latin music, show tunes, and hip hop! I imagine growing up in a household with three generations of Hispanic individuals really helped cultivate his taste in this way. I personally do not know much about Latin music, show tunes, or hip hop music, but I imagined while they were on the plane he had Roxy listen to a lot of Selena because he though she specifically would like her music a lot. Homie was bumping El Chico Del Apartemento 512 so hard trying to get her to vibe with it while she was like half conscious and trying to not get sick lmaoo. As for hip hop, I think that was something he discovered for himself once he entered high school. Artists like Jay-Z, Eminem, 50 Cent amaze him with how they're able to get their point across and he likes to try and learn the words as a challenge (though he is not very good at it) and he also likes to make up his own dances. It's also good hockey hype music, he likes to listen to it before games. And show tunes... I truly know nothing about musicals so I cannot speak to specifics but he likes them because (in my unposted james POV chapter which will come out eventually) he used to try out for school musicals a lot. He likes the flare and the dramatics! do they listen to music very often? Back home, yes, before hockey games, before auditions, around his house, but now that music is literally his entire life he finds he's getting that fix at work and doesn't really need to listen to it on his own anymore. musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Green Day - Taylor Swift (because i said so!!!) - The Pussycat Dolls - Big Time Rush - Jordin Sparks (Honorarily bc they were mentioned in this post) - Selena - Jay-Z - Eminem - 50 Cent

4. Kendall

what type of music does your oc like? </3 His ass is so boring his only taste in music is what's on the radio. Though... his performance of Girl 2 My Heart in the first ep of the show makes me believe he actually liked some of the 90s boy band stuff! There is hope yet. Also, not in the story, but I think after his and Roxy's little scene in the fourth chapter he listened to some Oasis and was like "what the fuck. no." Too jock to rock... Tragic... But his issue before BTR was that he liked music but never found anything he liked enough. do they listen to music very often? Only at work, only when he's learning a song, only when he's trying to snoop on whatever Roxy's writing. BORING! musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Big Time Rush - Boyquake (i'm calling it ok) - The Pussycat Dolls - Jordin Sparks

5. Logan

what type of music does your oc like? Oh my GOD Logan is so into rap music it isn't even funny. Everything about it is just so exciting to him! The technical composition of the beat, the eloquence of the lyrics and how they're strung perfectly together, the performance of it all, the messages... It's like a big equation to him, and he loves it! He and Carlos often bond over this, because rap is a sub-genre of hip hop if I'm not mistaken. Artists like 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, DMX... We see the vision hopefully and I apologize for not being more knowledgeable in the rap/hip hop genre to provide more than common generalizations. He also really likes instrumental music! As we saw in chapter 16, he also enjoys being in a room in which Roxy is playing either the guitar or the piano! do they listen to music very often? Yes... This man is somehow able to study and listen to music at the same time, so he'll hit his playlist and hit the books. AKA he's listening to it a lot when he's alone. And as previously mentioned, he'll also seek out Roxy to play him some instrumental tracks too. It's good for him, no silence when he studies, and good for her, she gets to practice. How considerate of him! musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Big Time Rush - The Pussycat Dolls - Jordin Sparks (Honorarily bc they were mentioned in this post) - 2Pac - Snoop Dogg - DMX

6. James

what type of music does your oc like? Oh, James... In the same vein as Kendall, he likes whatever's on the radio, but simply because that is what's popular and he himself is popular. So pop music, for sure, is his favorite genre and it's easily accessible through the radio or his phone or whatever so he's always keeping up with the latest! In addition, however, I think he really likes R&B and soul-type music as well as a by-product of living with his mother. There's a reason he chose a Smokey Robinson song to sing at his audition and not something on popular radio, right? Part of it is because he has a really smooth voice that flows right along into the R&B/Soul type genre, but also I'd say it's mostly his mom's influence. Her son should know the "classics!" Also like previously mentioned, he's big into show tunes! It's mentioned a bit in chapter 19 hehe. He's very good at convincing Carlos to try out for school musicals with him, so they practiced a bunch together after school hockey practice <3 And of course... He likes whatever Roxy plays... And wishes she'd play for him the same way she does for Logan... do they listen to music very often? I'd say his music listening is moderate... Not as much as Roxy and Logan but far more than Kendall! In Minnesota, his mom would play her music bc she's so controlling lol... So whenever he was on the way to school/friends' houses/dates/whatever he'd pop on the radio to catch up with the latest and the greatest. His show tune listening aligned with whenever musical try outs were coming up :) musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Roxy - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - The Pussycat Dolls - Jordin Sparks - Dak Zevon (get out of there king!) - Big Time Rush

7. Jo

what type of music does your oc like? Two words: Boy bands. It's as simple as that! I'd also say this blends into mentions of popular music, but if she has a choice she's putting Backstreet on no QUESTION. That and movie soundtracks, I'd say, but only for the cheesy supernatural romances she likes. I know she's bumping the Twilight soundtrack near daily (as she damn well should be). Also, I know she's from North Carolina but she doesn't really feel like a country girl to me... idk Being friends with Roxy and dating Kendall is like her perfect musical dream. do they listen to music very often? Yes! Like Roxy, Jo doesn't really like silence. I imagine she listens to music most when she's running lines and trying to flesh out the characters she's trying out for. Once again: listening to the Twilight soundtrack while running lines for New Town High... God I love her. Beyond that, I think she's too busy being with her friends to care particularly about what's on, so she's happy to listen to the radio or pop one of her favorite CD's in! musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Big Time Rush!!! - The Beach Boys - Jonas Brothers - Dak Zevon (before chapter 1.11.5 lol) - Kelly Clarkson

8. Camille

what type of music does your oc like? I'm not going to lie to yall i've literally thought about this for hours and I just have no idea. in the show i know she was in their camp rock spoof, so maybe show tunes? but thinking about her sitting down and listening to like... Hello, Dolly! just doesn't feel like her. my best response is that she absorbs her music taste through her friends like osmosis. Jo and Roxy like boy bands? Great, now Camille does too! Logan is rocking out to Beastie Boys? Camille is excited to be a part of it. I also know that very briefly she mentions knowing how to figure skate, so maybe even like classical music? but that feels far too mellow for her... She likes Big Time Rush and that's enough for me to say she at the least enjoys pop music. What do we think gang?? do they listen to music very often? Right now I'm going to say only when she's rehearsing for a musical part! musical things this character has mentioned/is observed liking: - Big Time Rush - ???

Thanks for reading :) These are so enjoyable for me to write and I'll do my best to add these elements into my story!! <333

[cesium-sheep]

@extravierge tagged me to put a playlist on shuffle and post the first 10 songs that come up :) we are using the shuffle hell playlist of every song I like (that is available on spotify). (all the links are youtube links tho since that's most broadly accessible)

[te amo y mas] from the book of life soundtrack (tbh I'm getting tired of this one but it reminded me of someone close to me at the time)

[honey (are u coming?)] by maneskin (their new single that just came out last week, I think it's already one of my favorites of theirs. it's a vocal flex, but not super in your face about it, and absolutely not at the price of being actually listenable and good as some flexes can be.)

[wrong way out] by junction 18 (I don't remember where I got this one. I think my mom or my brother had a random compilation cd with like 2-3 songs each from a bunch of random little punk bands? it was on my ipod in high school. their songs are in a really comfortable vocal range/timbre.)

[misirilou] by the surfaris (even if you don't know this one, you know this one. the sax in this particular recording is really picking it up tbh, even though the most popular recording everyone has heard is even more biased towards the guitar.)

[afterlife] by avenged sevenfold (this whole album is in the same situation as #1. same person even lol)

[timber] by pitbull and ke$ha (I know everyone really loved to make fun of pitbull for a while but it's a fun song, even without chopping him out of it.)

[girl that you love] by panic at the disco (this album as a whole had a pretty distinctive sound that I really strongly associate with walking around the older part of campus cuz that's where I lived the year it came out and the year after that.)

[army] by ben folds five (this one is fun to play on piano though it's been a while, it's very jaunty staccato under the vocals with these pretty little runs to break it up every once in a while. also even though the experience and sentiment aren't the same at all it is still a good place to put some of my bitterness about my military experience lol)

[be still] by los lobos (this is one of the very first (non-kid/non-instrumental) albums my parents let me listen to as a kid. this one in particular has a deeply soothing rhythm to it as well as the actual lyrics. we would listen to it all the time on road trips, and even with my pretty bad motion sickness in the car on a road trip was always always one of the safest and happiest places to be.)

[come into my arms] by november ultra (if you watch a lot of cute/gentle tiktoks you've probably heard this one. it's so deeply tender. beautiful voice, beautiful sentiment, beautiful song.)

if you want an excuse to do the same thing then I tag you <3

[cairoscene]

5 no-skip albums

@vinelark tagged me in this right as i was building a blorbo playlist for myself so i am ready to go

💿 ceremonials florence + the machine — behind kiss with a fist this is the og florence for me, the album that i truly fell in love with and played on repeat on my silly little ipod nano in 2012. also the album with most florence songs applied to concept and writing playlists over time

💿 ok computer radiohead — my og sadboy depression album. then i grew up and started listening to the lyrics beyond projecting and started to hear the album concept. i still queue it up when i feel sad tho

💿 shallow bed dry the river — this one i stumbled across when a friend made me a mix CD with dry the river and now it holds a special place in my heart, lots of nostalgia and sort of a sense of deconstructing religion in a really beautiful and cathartic way

💿 wiped out! the neighbourhood — saw them live in 2018 and it fucking rocked. the build up to rip 2 my youth is so good

💿 gris (video game soundtrack) the berlinist — gris is a hugely important game to me for many reasons but the soundtrack has been there for me when i couldn’t queue up the game and play. i never listen to it shuffled, it’s a linear experience just like the game and it’s powerful

also had a big long discussion with @megafaunatic about Albums in general and how i really do still kind of skip in most albums bc i’m attached to certain favorite songs and how my real no-skip albums are the playlists i curate for myself from all of those bangers but since those are less accessible, these will do

tagging @burins @floofyfluff @dcyiyou @tux-kate @yuebings if you want!!

[zannolin]

1 3 and 19!!! 🎧🎶

1. three songs that come up when you put your phone on shuffle

please forgive me. i do not have music on my phone. i will instead put my gen 4 ipod nano (main playlist one not to be confused with my second gen 4 ipod nano exclusively for my 80s playlist) on shuffle.

"message from pegasus" steve mcdonald

"main title" wizard of oz

"knowing me, knowing you" abba

i feel like this exposes things about me i wasn't ready to have exposed.

3. three songs you were recently obsessed with

no repeats so i won't say "pink pony club" by chappell roan tho that does count. since it says "were" i will also not include "the moment of truth" by survivor or "against the wind" by bob seger. what does that leave me with. let's see.

"17th street treatment centre" john k. samson (this man's music blows my brains out)

"linger" the cranberries (oooaarrruughhghg)

"american teenager" ethel cain (still looping it. tbh.)

19. three songs that are your guilty pleasure

ohhhh. well. hm. promise me you won't judge me okay i can't control my upbringing.

"so many books" michael card (LISTEN. listen. sometimes i just have to listen to christian songs from my childhood this one bangs it's so jangly i love it. am i singing it about the bible no. but i DO have so many books and so little time.)

"breakfast" the newsboys (this is literally just another christian song from my childhood that i'm obsessed with. there's a lot of them.)

"stay for awhile" amy grant (hey would you look at that it's ANOTHER chr- [i am forcibly removed from the stage for having poor music taste and failing atheism) (this is a joke) (i don't even know if i'm an atheist) (whatever it's a DAMN good song y'all)

song asks!

another song that changed me as a teen was neutron star collision by muse (i was NOT a twilight kid??) and i remember i would go outside and listen to it on my new ipod touch and run around the yard and spin in circles looking at the sky as if i was in a movie

[beeboysupreme]

helo do have spotify ?

hewwo yes i do!

here is the thing if u wish to find me and my badly made playlists

[theewrites-tf2]

(Nope, this is an original, thanks for sending it on in @reapbirb!!! ^_^)

Scout: I headcanon that, whenever the Mercs land in the county jail for the night for something Scout did, probably, this guy trades his left sock for the other inmates harmonica, and everyone groans, because it's gonna be one of THOSE nights. Scout takes advantage of this 'talent' and the Mercs dont even have to call Pauling to bail them out... the jailhouse just wants to get some SLEEP.

Engineer: Guitar player all the way, and a pretty badass banjo player, but apprently the other team found out and all the 'backwater hick' jokes came out, so, after kicking their asses, he hung up the banjo for a bit. Thinking about picking it back up though!

Sniper: I think he was forced to take Band one year, and mastered every wind instrument out of pure boredom. Guys lungs are the size of Wyoming.

Soldier: THE UKULELE. You cannot pry away the headcanon that Soldier is a genius on a beautiful, handmade Hawaiian Ukulele.

Demoman: Piano is the canon instrument, but I like to think that Demo is a KILLER on the keytar. He has a sign-up list for the local garage bands, 15 bucks an hour!

Medic: Violin! I personally took violin classes in middle school, so I kinda based my headcanon with my own experience... but who knows, maybe this is how Medic came in contact with the Devil, by being the most devilish violin player in Germany >:3

Pyro: Xylophone. Because, why not?

Heavy: One would expect him to be someone who pays a classy, calm instrument... but Heavy is a fricking BEAST on the drums, mostly because drums are his way of releasing any extra aggression he would normal release on the field... on on the base, when someone does something really flipping stupid. And amazingly, they don’t break.

Spy: He’s picked up the basics for many worldly instruments in his days of false identity and missions, but he’s always been fond of the cello.

[sunlezz]

i should care

and i do

[cactuseri]

does anyone else have specific albums or playlists that they have Rules for listening to? for example i only allow myself to listen to transmissions (starset) in order & at night and/or while traveling

mainly this stems from it being one of the like 3 albums that i owned when i was ~13 (and even tho streaming stuff existed i didnt have a phone i had a CD/cassette player and the, like, 1st gen ipod shuffle) so its out of nostalgia that i listen to it like i did then

[miekasa]

a little tmi but i love the all the armin hcs that go like “armin brings you to make a build-a-bear for your birthday as a commemoration. the bears you guys would make would most likely look like each other for when.....”

like🥺🥺 yes armin has a hot side that makes me weak on my knees but his personality outside the bedroom🥺 i wanna marry him so bad ugh

Who said Armin has a h*t side 😐😐KIDDING!!... but yeah, no, unfortunately, Armin is a little c*te :// Totally see him doing the Build-a-Bear thing omfg and you know he'd make a whole day/event of it too, I don't even know if Build-a-Bear does reservations, but he probably made one, anyway. Here's some more because I feel like sparing him today:

If you work during the summer, he either brings you ice cream or a smoothie or a slushy or something of that nature every Friday as a treat, and would always pack you/send you off with water and juice every day.

Likes taking you to parks when they’re empty and wandering around, vaguely playing on the playground as you talk. He’s surprisingly really good at those ring things where they’re in a line but spread out (where I live, those kinds of playgrounds have sand underneath them, so it feels beachy), and the monkey bars too. If it’s a late night kinda wandering actively, he’ll hang upside and talk to you, and he can honestly stay like that for a scary amount of time lmfao

Carries a backpack around, and inside of it he’s got a small emergency pack; not a first aid kit (tho he has one of those too), but a little You emergency pack with things you might need, anything ranging from chapstick to hair ties to napkins to a pair of sunglasses you lost at his house once.

He likes taking pictures of you with food, so he’ll ask you to pose with your ice cream, or before you start eating if you’re sitting down at a restaurant, even if you’ve just grabbed a snack from a convenience store, he’ll take a quick picture. He’s got a whole album dedicated to it.

If you like to read, he’d give you a book he’s already read and marked up with annotations for you to borrow. If you return it with annotations of your own, he might just cry and never stop thinking about it for the rest of his life.

He’s got an old iPod Shuffle or maybe even an iPod Classic from when he was really young that still works, but he can’t really add new music or anything to it. That’s fine, because that’s not what he’s looking to do with it; whenever he gives you a book, he gives you the iPod, too, because the majority of the songs are stuff he’d be listening to while he read as a kid anyways. With the exception of a few Hannah Montana bangers, but still, it usually makes for good reading music.

Stops and ties your shoelaces for you when you don’t notice they’re undone, and yes he does use the bunny ears method.

He has you on a list of contacts that can get through his “do not disturb” mode; it’s you, Mikasa, his grandparents, and Sasha (because if Sasha had to call him, then something must be very wrong lmfao). In general, he picks up your calls and FaceTimes pretty quickly, even if he’s kinda busy or half-asleep.

Gets very giddy whenever you comment on any of his social media, whether it be Instagram or Twitter; seeing a reply or comment from you makes him happy.

Sends you news articles of stuff you say you’re interested in, whether that be animals, or makeup, or astrology, or art; if he sees something cool or important regarding the topic pop up on his feed, he’ll give it a quick read himself and then send it to you, and ask for your thoughts on it. He really values your opinion and loves hearing it, so he always asks.

@vampiraptor psuedo-tagged me Rule: shuffle your playlist. list the first 10 songs then tag 10 people 

This is my car playlist that lives on a super old school ipod. It’s probably about 2-3 months of driving long? (Or, uh... 4 days, as in 96 hours long??? I gUESS???) Fairly curated compared to say, my “main rotation” playlist which is literally almost everything... Hey Alice - Rachel Rose Mitchell Possibly still her best known song? Not her best overall but it’s definitely enjoyable. Thank You For The Evil - Phideaux Huh, I did not realize man was on bandcamp. Cool. Anyway, definitely some kind of song. Title of all time, good for rotating baru cormorant blorbos to Tourniquet - Evanescence It is a known fact that it is psychologically healthy to keep your inner emo teen alive!!!! Endogenesis - Tristania This came on, found myself thinking, “eh, not the best song from the album”, then “well, it is pretty good”, then “ok, it doesn’t need two false endings tho” Dead! - My Chemical Romance - WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT INNER EMOS Permian: The Great Dying - The Ocean Speaking of dying-- what actually came on was the live version (mostly not as good? but with some cool different bits too) but I couldn’t find that online. extremely bleak but good The Watchmaker - Steven Wilson Fun fact about Steven Wilson: I was only able to unlock enjoying him after I got on antidepressants! I’m still in the process of getting to know some of his older stuff so this song was a journey. “It’s nice, melancholic as I’d expect--oh this is GOOD good, I see.”

The Space Between - Auri Oh so we’re just playing good stuff now, sweet.

Spookwave - toby fox Whomst among us does not have the undertale soundtrack on their driving playlist?

RIP=RELEASE - Ryuusei-P As this is a vocaloid song, it took a hot second to figure out who actually wrote it, but here appears to be the original posting. It uses Megurine Luka, who is better than Hatsune Miku. Actually IMO most vocaloids sound better than Miku ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tagging @redshiftsinger @soulvomit @bamboocounting uhhh anyone else who wants to?
