[two-person-job]

hey guys i've added to this playlist so. time for part two!

@lexisism @milk-violet @floraldresvi AND OUR NEW ADDITIONS @camvrin and @ilyuu-archive <3

have fun! :)

nahoko (i miss you) - joe hisaishi

you KNOW I have to put kavexis. it's from the wind rises!! aka the most kavexis core movie I've ever watched!!!!! ugh I love this song and its title so much. there are a bunch of songs on the soundtrack that start with "nahoko" and they all have different things in parentheses. the encounter, her destiny, a rainbow, the proposal, I miss you, an unexpected meeting, and together are all of the songs that start with nahoko. (btw. alexis = nahoko for this) I'm such a sucker for symbolism, and I ADORE what you can say about these song titles. they are about nahoko to their core. everything about them is nahoko, but each one is a different part of the feelings attached to her. and this song in particular isn't just "wistfully gazing out of a window" it is stressed because jiro (kaveh) is stressed. he's trying to get to his lover, to his fiance, because she is sick. because he wants her to be well. because he misses her. nahoko, I miss you.

transparency - small crush

with great joy, I say zagreis!! transparency is one of my favorite songs. and with the enough I know of hades lore, let me ramble: (also!! spoilers for the supergiant game Hades ahead!!)

"I never knew how hard it could be / to stop talking with your tongue between your teeth / to feel real you must say what you mean / if you wanna go somewhere" though zagreus has made it to see his mother many times before, he has been untruthful about all of his reasons to go back to the surface. whenever asked why he seems to be fighting with a renewed vigor, he simply says that he wishes to visit persephone again. and he knows that there is a chance the unfamiliar feeling he has found may simply disappear, he still decided to find out the long way. a fitting decision for a boy as stubborn as him. "quit acting so upset / it's all just in your head / that you'll end up in an empty bed / with even colder sheets" meanwhile, aléxios has not been well. they miss the mysterious man they met recently, and wonder when they shall see him again. they worry if he was hurt. if he doesn't want to see them anymore. if something else possibly happened to stop him from seeing them. and though he has never gone further into their house than the kitchen, their bed has a cold spot where another body would have been. "you are here with me / we got the whole world pinned to the sleeves of our jackets / that we wear in the fall" once more, they reunite. once more, they learn so little but so much about each other. once more, aléxios and zagreus converse at her kitchen table. and every time afterwards, they grow closer, and they grow together. they have every memory they've shared sewn into the fabric of their being. both of their lives have changed, and neither zagreus nor aléxios could be happier about that. "if life's full of feelings, then why not feel them all? / if life's full of beauty, then why not see it all? / if life's full of change, why be scared?" if they are to be together, why should they not make the most of it? zagreus only has a bit of time with his mother, and even less with aléxios; the food they prepare for him almost always being left half-eaten on his plate. but he doesn't mind, and neither do they, for time spent together is time spent together. and the moments they have are filled with beauty. they are made of love, and care, and the feeling of holding someone dear to you closely. and though zagreus changes, and though aléxios changes, they change together. and it is beautiful. "and open up your eyes / see your visions impaired by the dark / claim back your sight / see all of your thoughts come to life" when aléxios is with zagreus, they feel like she can finally be loved without any chance of consequence. they do the same for zagreus, who can't believe how much adoration was waiting for him on the surface. yes, he had all who had grown to care for him in the house of hades, but nothing like this. like the motherly care from persephone, and the unconditional love from aléxios. he is stunned. and he is happy. (sidenote: he 100% calls aléxios "my love")

sweet talk - saint motel

OLIJAX!! OLIJAX MY BELOVED!! specifically, childe pining after oliver and trying his very best for their attention. "you're probably not aware / that I'm even here / well you might not know I exist / but I don't even care!" he doesn't mind that oliver doesn't look at him, he can look at them!!! how amazing is that!!! "sweet talk / everything you say / it sounds like / sweet talk to my ears / oh you could yell / "piss off! won't you stay away?" / it'd still be / sweet talk to my ears" and then. seeing oliver isn't even the best part (it's tied for #1 tho). he gets to HEAR Oliver SPEAK. SOMETIMES TO HIM!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? WOOWOWOOWOOWOW. simply thinking about Oliver makes him feel all fuzzy inside. like wowowow. they're so. wow. !!!! maybe one day he'll go on a date with them! how spectacular would that be?

good luck, babe - chappell roan

CHAPPELL ROAN!! anyways. shroomiya :}

i think yoimiya wouldn't be that exposed to non-heterosexual relationships, so she wouldn't really realize that you could date people of the same gender. and because i'm too afraid of ruining a relationship to confess to her, she doesn't realize that what she feels for me is romantic. she assumes that we're just!! really good friends!! for so long!! and so eventually, she finds a nice man to fall in love with, but it doesn't feel right. but that's ok, you can't have a perfect life, right? and eventually, that boyfriend becomes her husband, and I, her maid of honor. the months after her marriage become years, and we're still very close, and one day, yoimiya comes to me with a problem. it's nothing her husband did, no, but more what she is doing. she doesn't know what she is doing. but she does know that she doesn't feel right in her relationship, for some reason hidden to her. she still follows her passions, he is kind to her. he loves her, she helps take care of him. and nothing was wrong with it. that's why she came to me, to ask why. and I would tell her something like "love can be uncooperative, and that's not anyone's fault. if he doesn't feel right, then it's better to do something about that then to let those feelings simmer. and remember, yoi, I will always love and be here for you." those words wander about in yoimiya's mind for months afterwards, and once more, those months turn into years. and throughout those years, we drift apart. through no fault of ours, however, simply by us both being more busy. then it all gets to her when she wakes up next to her husband, in the middle of the night, with her head in her hands, and realizes that she is no more than his wife. not to him, but to her. she doesn't feel the same amount of love for him as he does for her. and she thinks about me, all of those years ago, and she hates to say it, but i told her so.

HOT TO GO! - chappell roan

im obsessed with a couple versions of this. 1. olijax where oliver is playing music and this comes on, and ajax does the dance without even thinking (oliver didn't know he knew who chappell roan is) (there was a long conversation afterwards). 2. mizuha with mirei teaching kazuha the dance :} "like this?" "nono, your arms go straight up. yeah, like that!!" it took 7 minutes but he finally found out how to do the h. wish him luck when he realizes that he has to make a g with his arms. (he tries to make the letters by himself before following mirei's instruction) 3. me and yoimiya doing the dance BUT trying to do it while we're holding hands (it failed but it was fun). 4. scarayui where yui is like "hey scara do you want to learn the hot to go dance-" "no" (he learned it later by himself in case yui asked again)

the ENTIRE waitress musical soundtrack

PLEASEEEE I NEED KAVEH AND ALEXIS TO WATCH WAITRESS TOGETHER!! kaveh will be sobbing by the end. he will say "I love you like a table" to Alexis SO MANY TIMES. they learn to make pies together.

also!! baivi!! watching waitress together!! ougghogugh!! vi you would cry watching it. I think that baizhu would make you a pie the next day and give it a strange name and your reaction made him ever more sure he married the right woman.

but HIGH SCHOOL BAIVI?? "it only takes a taste"! ugh I love the idea of baizhu being really awkward in adolescence. he knows what to say ("if pies were books / yours would be shakespeare's letters!"), but is often too nervous to say it and often messes up. (the intro when dr. pomatter is comparing jenna to a kind waitress he used to know and jenna's like "thank you?? ig???" because he basically said "yeah she's old and a nice waitress just like you" BUT HE ONLY MEANT THE NICE WAITRESS PART and it's so odufosdhgdg) I love the thought of baizhu first reaching out to vi, and it's endearing how awkward he is. but vi loves it, because it's him trying to talk to her. "she was sweet to me, reminds me of you." / "you remind me of her, but, better." also it's DOCTOR pomatter and DOCTOR baizhu so. it's perfect.

also. honestly? I feel like baizhu has an INTENSE appreciation for musicians. he finds musical actors especially impressive, being able to move around so much and have such intense vocal requirements for each song? this makes it so instead of watching musicals he more studies them SKHFKHDF. vi asks how he's liking the musical and he goes "the vocal ranges of the actors are incredible"

scarayui "when he sees me" but it's not yui as dawn, it's scara. "I stick with real things / usually facts and figures / when information's in its place I minimize the guessing games / guess what? / "what?!" / I don't like guessing games or when I feel things / before I know the feeling" idk!! it just reminds me of scarayui!! but also, when dawn lists off things that would scare her off, it's instead scara listing off the endearing things he's found yui doing. the entire song, instead of dawn trying to convince becky + jenna why she's scared to try dating, it's scaramouche trying to convince someone that he does not, in fact, care too much about yui (lies!!).

STOP I LOVE THE SHROOMSYM WITH NEVER EVER GETTING RID OF ME OK HEAR ME OUT!! so. the character singing this. oklahoma/ogie for short. he was never really taught how to love someone as a child, seen well in the lines "my only friend was a stray kitty / called sardine!" ogie does not know how to love like most people, but he tries his best for dawn!! which brings me to sym!! who is both alien and artificial intelligence. naturally, he does not know most of how the people he interacts with work, besides from what he's learned from our media. this could cause him to be both good with words and terrible at talking. just like how curtis from the studio ghibli movie "porco rosso" was exaggerated, because he was based off of hollywood films, I believe, sym would be. uh. slightly off at times. he'd definitely try his best to interact with people, he'd try his best. (canonly he is quite skilled with words, but I think it is also canon that he learned most about people from media so. this is what I've taken from that.) I adore the thought of sym saying something really out of pocket and me going "sym. what do you mean by that." and him responding with something like "I've seen that phrase frequently used by humans in movies, is it not as popular outside of them?" UGH I love him.

but to elaborate. sym is like "it's ok, i'll never leave you! you'll never be able to escape me, don't worry" and he means to be reassuring but some media that has a "i'll never leave you" scene/line is similar to never ever getting rid of me. in the sense of ogie is being strange in this song. like you can't deny that he is being kinda wacky. but he has good intentions!! "gonna do this right / show you that i'm not lettin go / i love you means you're never ever gettin rid of me / "when you say never?" / ohhh, you could try / ohh but i / i love you means you're never ever ever gettin rid of me!" that's strange but he's trying his best and his best is not that great sometimes. but that's ok because i love sym he's so everything to me :) <3

(unrelated but "you will still be mine" makes me sob my eyes out every time. ough. he had his six string and i had my own thing though he can't remember what it is. he wrote me love songs yeah i liked that sad one so he sang it all the time. what was that one line somethin bout sunshine he sang it every nightt. SJHFJKHD IM GONNA CRY)

a guy that i'd kinda be into - stephanie hsu + 'be more chill' ensemble + be more chill

KAVEXIS PANTALOVI OLIJAX HIGHSCHOOL AU DONT EVEN TALK T OMEEE ODUODGUUGOGUGHG

so!! SOO!!! soooooo!! here are the different things i've thought of.

kavexis: kaveh is very smart, but how I view him in high school aus is that he's trying his best, but not doing too great socially. he's just not good with talking to people yet ok!! and Alexis, a more popular/well known student has known him since 7th grade, and they are at the very least friendly with each other. every time that kaveh sees Alexis pass by, he's filled with.. desire. desire to be close to her, desire to be more than just a friendly acquaintance, desire to be more to her. and so he tries his best to be just that. he makes an effort to become her friend, much to some jealous others disdain, and it works! meanwhile, Alexis starts to find herself seeing kaveh as more than just the guy she's known since middle school. more than someone she's friendly with. more than just kaveh. but most importantly, she finds that kaveh has become, or maybe always was, just the kind of guy she'd be into.

mehrak as the squip (I know nothing about be more chill but this sounds right BAHAHAH)

pantalovi: OGUOSDGUDIGHDG. pantalone, stuck-up and self-adsorbed. vi doesn't care much for him, and this seems to be exactly why he started to care about her. vi tried to ignore his attempts at talking to her, but eventually, she decides to humor him. and then something changes. vi was sure that nothing would come of her finally responding to him, but she was wrong. she thought that she already figured him out, but soon realized she never really knew him that well. he's gone from a guy that she'd never possibly think about, to the one constantly on her mind.

olijax: no this is The guy that i'd kinda be into selfship. like.. yeah oli has known ajax for a while blah blah they're nothing special together. partners on a few projects (he's mesmerized every time they talk to him), passing each other in a few hallways (he takes the long route to see them), but nothing more (he wants everything more). but one school year ends, another starts. everything is the same, everything is the same, except for ajax. he's definitely changed. oliver can't tell if only they noticed, or if there even was anything to notice, but they still do. but there is one thing that oliver is certain of: the change, whatever it is, is not unwelcome.

all I need - small crush

"how could i ever stray away / from your kiss / and at the end of the day / you're the one i really do miss" ough.. this fits everyone tbh i really like small crush. but the ones this makes me think of the most is zagreis, baivi, and kind of olijax (not those lines in particular but more the rest of the song).

meet the plastics - I'm not listing off all of these names so. mean girls musical.

"myy name is regiiiina georgeee...... and i am a massivveeee dealllllll" i love you meet the plastics. also idk i think it'd be fun as like alexis as regina with her smart loser boyfriend kaveh. and then mirei as karen but not because of like the ditsy girl thing but because karen's actor needs a powerful voice and honestly her songs are a lot of fun to listen to. and and uh can i be gretchen :} and oli you are. you are. janice. mirei you're also cady btw. you're both karen and cady. yui if you want you can be karen when cady is also in the scene. and vi. you're that one scene between cady and aaron where he asks what the date is and it becomes cady's new favorite day. grool.

if only / if only (reprise) - stray gods soundtrack

:( UGH shroomsym where I become a gardener (sym is a gardener but not in the. he has a garden sense. but in exocolonist, they are a group that i believe are immortal? and are more connected with vertumna, the planet exo takes place on :) but it's NOT what I expected in the slightest and feel as if I ruined my life. all of my friends, all of my memories, would eventually be replaced by only sym + the other gardeners and only vertumna. which, I suppose, is ok for a bit, but what about afterwards? what about when i've seen all of the wonders of vertumna and done everything there is to do? that's scary. "within me there will always be / something left behind in shadow / I'm tethered to you, I'm free / I've known i've loved you / before we were grown / never alone" but that's ok. everything changes, and things will forever get more interesting. what's the harm of a bit more time with my favorite gardener while we wait?

also.. baivi stray gods au could be a lot of fun.. maybe angsty tho i'll have to decide which romance route baizhu would be like.

the rest of the mean girls soundtrack

mirei going "hey kazuha let's watch mean girls together!" and kazuha agreeing and then getting his life CHANGED (he really likes musicals now).

mirei I ADORE all of karen's songs. "sexy" is so much fun it's so <3 !! ough. "if I could change the world I'd make it Halloween! every single day! and also have world peace!" mirei as a ditsy girl who's actually really in control of herself just likes the role. my beloved.

mirei as cady is also a lot of fun. going back to what I said for the mean girls roles, i wasn't joking, mirei you COULD be cady.

i love the idea of Alexis having the same amount of power as Regina George and then having Kaveh as her boyfriend. he's some nerd who's constantly singing her praises, and she loves him. if Alexis wants to watch the world burn, kaveh will bring her the gasoline :)

percy jackson musical soundtrack

um the obvious answer is modern au zagrius of zag + aléxios watching it together because. greek mythos yk. zagreus would be VERY upset at how it's not actually greek mythos, it's simply using the figures to create a new story set in a modern era. but aléxios probably doesn't mind as much and so he calms down :)

idk why but I just. really like the idea of mirei and kazuha watching musicals together. kazuha: "I don't care for musicals" mirei: "let's test that theory" (if this feels wrong then just swap the names hdkfsdkj)

("'I was walking in the strawberry fields with charlie beckendorf! / and we were holding hands! / and then i kissed him and he started growing sunflowers everywhere' / look, kid! / i hate to be the one to tell ya! / but i think that charlie beckendorf was also holding hands with a NYMPH! / that doesn't wanna wish you well / to tell you the truth? / the best thign is to BREAK UP WITH THE GUY / 'but he loves me!' / HE LOVES YOU NOT! NEXT!" idk how accurate that is but i dont want to look up the lyrics. ugh i love that stupid song. another terrible day.. stuck with these runts in the muck and mud.. george salazar you are perfect)

mayonaka no door / stay with me - miki matsubara

i finally looked up the lyrics to this, it's about finding familiarity with someone and never forgetting the important things they do for you. you know what I have to say to that. baivi. just that statement in itself, I feel, is very representative of baivi. loving each other, and keeping it that way.

songs from the "boo, bitch" tv show soundtrack (paraphernalia by temples, medicine by dayglow, dead girl! (shake my head) by au/ra, AMERICAN GURL by kilo kish)

im going to sob. my favorite tv show. my beloved. I NEED to watch this with yoimiya. :(( ugh ok maybe it's really predictable maybe it's not good. but MAYBE it changed my life. maybe i've watched it five times. maybe it took me until my 4th time to realize that one of the characters put his friends faces over the actors on a fast and furious poster. ugh i love you boo bitch </3

sweetest - small crush

putting this as shroomsym because me adding this song to this playlist was a very personal choice. "you are the sweetest thing / you make my phone ring" i almost always have do not disturb on, and the settings make it so only a few people can actually make my phone vibrate when they text me. the line you make my phone ring means a lot to me in the sense of if you make my phone ring, it means i really love you. "every time i talk to you / feels like i am falling / more and more each day" every time i talk to him he finds a new way for me to fall in love. a new thing about him that makes him even more endearing. some things repeat every time i see him, some things are consistent, but he is ever-changing. "walking down the street / I saw you and you saw me / something just feels right / an unbreakable light / is shining on my face" sym only appears if you look for him. sym only appears if you want him to. i want him to. and so he does. i saw him after he saw me. "didn't know i could feel this way / didn't know i could feel this way / didn't know i could feel this way" didn't know i could feel this way.

assigning songs from my latest romance playlist to mine and my friends' selfships :}

@lexisism @milk-violet @floraldresvi

it got a lot longer than I thought. so. have fun! <3

best friend - laufey

kavexis or verali. definitely an alexis selfship. the parts that are more about how you're best friends reminds me of kavexis, but the parts that are lovingly insulting feels more reminiscent of verali

magnolia - laufey

this song is about yoimiya. or it's mizuha and it's kazuha thinking about mirei. a lot of this song feels more like poetry than lyrics?? which leads me to say that kazuha would hear it whenever he sees mirei.

death, thrice drawn - the scary jokes

baivi? verali? I can't really place this one. but. when I think selfships with lots of pining, baivi and verali come to mind!!

jeanine - the scary jokes

kavexis angst where both alexis and kaveh are feeling overwhelmed and end up kinda neglecting each other. with the line "love is just a name for you to call me by", this song talks about how though they are still acting in love, the feelings are starting to fade. it also goes into someone being emotionally absent, and not being vulnerable enough for the other. both people are stuck in a space between "I can't find time to talk to them" and "they can't find time to talk to them", and lots of conflicting "it's my fault/I shouldn't be to blame here" thoughts. one of the last lines is "just like the smote cedars in the yard, I have fallen so hard for you" which shows that yes, they are in love. yes, they adore their s/o. but. it's not a love that is gentle anymore, it's hard to live with and difficult to manage. very "I love you, but at what cost?"

starstruck - the scary jokes

this song has a permanent spot in my shroomsym playlist for a myriad of reasons!!!! firstly. sylvia is being depicted as a figure who shows enough to be admired, but never enough to be known. that's sym for a while!! and the entire song is just someone gushing and wondering about her.

no leverage / no pleasure - the scary jokes

scarayui because of the "I just can't have a normal heart" line and all that's added onto that. with all the scaramouche lore I know very little about, I believe this fits his character? loving, despite it being against his nature? but since yui isn't on tumblr anymore. this is actually really hard wait. this could lead off of the kavexis angst from "jeanine"?? i'll go with that dfjdjdfk

crushed out on soda beach - the scary jokes

shroomiya angst because. the first lines "I tried just burning the whole thing down today / but decisiveness is such a foreign tenant to my psyche" represents someone trying to break up with their partner, but being too indecisive to do so. later on in the song, it goes "you called my bluff / I love you too much / would you please stay with me? / cause after all is said and done / I want you here, stay with me!" this song is representative of wanting the end of the bad parts of a relationship, but not the good parts. it's about wanting the relationship you used to have, wanting to go back to when everything was normal and better than normal because it was beautiful. "I could hardly stand under the weight of my little crush on you" shows how much yearning can take a toll on someone.

bets against the void - the scary jokes

baivi angst this time. "these days your light beam penetrate / the sorrowed skin that i've been living in". baizhu's condition is getting worse, but vi and everyone else's love and care for him motivates him to try to be everything he could be. "but still I wait for piercing pain / i'll feel when your feelings fade / I feel so good today" he knows that all of the good he feels now is temporary. when vi's gone, or busy, or tired, or sick herself, he feels worse. but how is he supposed to push that onto her? when they both feel so good today, isn't that all that can really matter? "the sun is just a copper coin / I flip in bets against the void / imitating choice / 'til I feel good again / i'll keep them in a tin can / then i'll have copper coins to spend" baizhu's trying to find optimism in vi, in qiqi, in everyone who comes to bubu pharmacy, and he is, he really is, but it's getting difficult to find much more meaning in that optimism. he has all of the little memories from people he's known and loved and cared for, but he doesn't have much to do with them. "will you remember me / when our spirits scatter off?" will you remember him, when he can't remember you? when he isn't there? when he can't be everything you deserve? when he loses all he was? "I know I'm an artist / 'cause I just can't stand the thought / that a love as beautiful as ours / could be forgotten" he knows you'll never forget. and that's just why he wants you too. he wants you to be able to move on a live a life as amazing as it always was. but he also knows that you won't be able to do that. so he will make sure you remember your love as beautiful, and make sure to pass it on to everyone you continue to meet.

anata no koibito ni naritai - choo kyuu mei

MIZUHA!!!!! "koi ni ochite iru" THAT DAY I FELL IN LOVE! "kocchi wo mite yo!" LOOK THIS WAY! "choco yori amai! ondo de tokeru!" SWEETER THAN CHOCOLATE, YOUR WARMTH MAKES ME MELT! ik the translation is rough but!!!! KOI NI OCHITE IRU!!!! THAT DAY I FELL IN LOVE!!! KOIBITO NI NARITAI! I WANT TO BE YOUR PARTNER! I want to make a mizuha animatic of you two falling in love.. and being in love.. and that day you fell in love!

also dreszhu. though I know little about it, I like the idea of baizhu seeing dresvi and going "OMG SHES SO BEAUTIFUL" before regaining his composure lol

what will you leave behind (end titles) - max LL and maude plante-husaruk

spiritfarer is everything to me. BUT this song feels like shroomsym and baivi!! for shroomsym, sym is immortal. there is a way to become immortal with him! this song is about loss, about moving on, about grief, and about getting over it and learning how to lovingly remember instead of feeling constant grief. immortality comes with watching the death of all your favorite people, but the last line "but it's ok, we'll be together my friend" would be how sym would be there through it all.

with baivi though!!! baivi is the sort of couple that goes through and sees everything. they grow old together, watch friends come and go, watch relationships blossom and deteriorate, see the landscape around them shift and change, and learn every little thing they can, and more. they guide each other through every difficulty, every problem they may ever have. and they make their own world, out of love and beauty and patches of everyone and everything in their lives. baivi is a couple that grows old together.

hikouki gumo - yumi arai

kavexis. alexis gets to see all of kaveh's dreams up close, everything he wants and everything he does to reach those wants. hikouki gumo is the ending song of "the wind rises", about an aeronautical engineer (I think?) who falls in love with a woman with tuberculosis. though he stays with her as much as possible, she doesn't survive. however, they get to love in the most beautiful ways possible. they love in paper airplanes, they love in carefully-chosen gifts, they love in dropping everything to see each other, they love in spite of everything that encourages them not to. they love no matter what may happen. that's kavexis to me, passion and dreams and unconditional love. kaveh would do anything for alexis, and all she wants is for him to love her. "i've loved you since the wind brought you to me" is my favorite quote from that movie, and I think it suits kavexis :}

itsudemo dare ka ga - shang shang typhoon

sunvi? this is the ending song of "pom poko", and is playing during a lot of friends reuniting. I feel like sunvi is about never truly being apart, only in different places. this song talks about never forgetting the name of the people who loved you. sunvi is about remembering. remembering favorites and dislikes, anniversaries and birthdays, names and relations. everything that matters, and everything that doesn't. because if it's connected to someone you love, is anything really insignificant?

le temps des cerises - cora vaucaire

this is a song that plays in "porco rosso"! the woman that sings it in in love with the main character, though he feels as if he will never be good enough for anything. he has too much guilt about his past mistakes, and doesn't want anything bad to befall someone he cares about, so he stops caring. but she persists, and I think that's very reminiscent of a possible mizuha or pantalovi au. for mizuha, kazuha feels as if he isn't stable enough for relationships. also everything that happened with tomo, he doesn't want that to happen to mirei. but she doesn't care. all she cares for is kazuha, and that's what matters to her. slowly, she teaches kazuha that she loves him with all the risks he may see in being close to someone. as long as they get to be together, she'll be happy, and so will he. pantalovi has something similar, with how pantalone is in the fatui and all. how could that end up in safety for vi? how could he make sure she'd be ok? by not involving himself with her, is his first thought. but similar to mirei, vi is persistent! she will love freely! and he will have to learn to accept that. and he does, because he loves her. pantalone will make sure NOTHING bad ever happens to vi, who appreciates the sentiment, but once again similar to mirei, won't mind what happens as long as she is with him.

socks - out of luck

MY FAVORITE SONG FOR SHROOMIYA!!!! "what's up? how you been? / I wanna be so much more than friends!" lots of realizing you're in love and wanting to confess and not being good at telling someone you love them but trying anyways!! wanting to be with someone forever and never being forgotten and sharing things that only you and them know! yoimiya reminds me of giggling into pillows at a sleepover, and that's what this song also feels like!! failed confessions and flustered glances!!

i do adore - mindy gledhill

baivi. vi is so deeply in love with baizhu that him just asking her about her day makes her a blushing mess!!! they're different in so many ways, but not in a way that sparks argument, in a way of someone who's always cold has someone who's always warm!! they compliment each other in such a personal way, it feels as if they were made for each other!! no matter how many times vi fails at telling baizhu how she feels, or how much he means to her, he understands. he is able to tell by the absolute adoration radiating off of her, that all her words are laced with love.

sakura kiss - chieko kawabe

i put the ohshc intro on here because of who this playlist is about jhsdjh. but also mizuha kavexis and shroomiya are all couples who would shout these lyrics at a sleepover turned karaoke night. KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!

pretty girl - clairo

high school au baivi, kavexis, and shroomiya. helpless girls + kaveh who'd do anything for their favorite person.

for baivi, vi would see him in the halls, and it'd start off as just a little hallway crush. but she'd find herself constantly looking for him, trying to find out what he likes, what he doesn't, who he's close with, who he isn't. she's writing him little love notes to stick in his locker, and though she's been found doing this by a multitude of people, none have told baizhu!! she thinks. one day, one day, she'll find the courage to tell him how she feels. (and one day, one day, baizhu will find the courage to strike up a conversation with you) this could also work with sunvi + pantalovi but I think it's cuter with baivi <3

for kavexis this song fills my brain with the image of kaveh in fluffy pajamas and looking at his phone, which has a message from alexis that says something like "thank you!!" and he's blushing because SHE saw worth in HIM and thinks that HE was worth not one, but TWO. WHOLE. EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! they might as well have gotten married already!!! kaveh is so hopeless and in love with Alexis, and thinks that she's so out of his league!! but she thinks the same about him. so they're both stuck in the pining stage with a VERY annoyed alhaitham.

for shroomiya. I would do anything for her!! I'll make her snacks!! this is affection in the form of simple acts of love that are filled with adoration, mistakes made to make someone laugh, and endearing habits belonging to someone you love. I could be her pretty girl!!!

kool - meet me @ the altar

honestly? kavexis. both of them think that the other is so cool! that the other should look in the mirror and think about how beautiful they are! both are such daydreamers, and could spend the entire day just thinking about the other. but they'd much prefer being with them, thinking about them is a good temporary substitute. pining and doesn't know the other feels just like them!!

cat serenade - beetlebug

MIZUHA MIZUHA MIZUHA MIZUHA!!!!! "I've never been the kind to fall in love / it's just me and a couple of fleas and that's all I want" HE NEVER WANTED TO STAY IN JUST ONE PLACE BUT IF IT MEANS ANOTHER DAY WITH YOU HED STAY A CENTURY! kazuha slowly realizes again what it's like to find a home not in a place but in a person, and finds himself imagining all the places he'll go with mirei. he'd go fishing with mirei. go to liyue with beidou and mirei. search for flowers for mirei. everything has mirei added on, and honestly? he doesn't mind. he could use a couple more years of his life, if it means those years will be with you.

honey jet coaster - nasuo and route BLUE - yuki nakashima and kawaii dake ja nai - nasuo

shikimori intro and outro. and the shikimori-themed song. that means baivi. highschool au baivi again where everything with vi or baizhu apart of it is beautiful! everything has to be about the other, and if it's not, then they'll find a way to make it!! every single thing baizhu does is endearing. every bite of food vi takes baizhu finds himself smiling at. ik I compare you to shikimori a lot vi but I think it would be reversed? like. yes ur like shikimori. but for the Cool Person/sweetie who's madly in love with the Cool Person dynamic of shikimori and izumi, baizhu would be the shikimori. while baizhu is always making sure that vi is ok, that she doesn't accidentally hurt herself, that she isn't overworking herself, she's making sure that he doesn't have to worry!! vi's doing everything she can to take care of herself so baizhu doesn't have to constantly worry himself over her, but he still does. and whenever vi tries to bring up possibly being a nuisance to him, he shuts it down before she can get the full sentence out. he worries because he loves her. he worries because she matters to him. he couldn't imagine a world without her, and doesn't want to.

every little thing - cybergirlfriend

shroomiya and mizuha. mirei would GUSH about everything kazuha does!! his handwriting, the way his voice gets softer when he talks directly to her, the way he looks at her with a warm smile after grabbing her hand.. anything and everything she can think of!! and I'm never going to have an empty mind when yoimiya's around. it's always full of thoughts of her!!! <33

biri-biri - yoasobi

i can't say yoasobi without also saying mirei. which is why this is another mizuha song. she's waiting!! she's hoping!! she's anticipating what kazuha will say, do, and everything else about him!!! when will she see him again? what will he say next? where is he right now? when will he hold her hand again? she's always wondering!! and he always has the answer, and it's always "whenever and whatever you want".

shake & shake - sumia

this is the intro to a really weird anime that me and someone else are watching together so I put it on the playlist. anyways this is shroomiya. we'd watch the anime together and laugh at how weird and i'd teach her the choreography in the intro <3

chicken noodle - small crush

kavexis? verali? for kavexis, kaveh is the mess. nothing goes right for him, except for alexis. she's the right in his world of wrongs. when he falls in the mud, she picks him back up and cleans him up. when he loses something, she spends hours helping him find it. he's a mess, but you're the best.

for verali it's swapped. I love you alexis but from what I know of verali you'd be the mess <3 she struggles with falling asleep on time, and he texts her at exactly 10:30pm to go to bed without being prompted to do so. he brushes her hair when she forgets to. he always makes sure that her working space is clean. whenever alexis asks him why, he tells her that he's just doing the bare minimum.

signal dreams - small crush

shroomsym!! "i would rather be living in a dream / if that's the only way I could get close to you" anything for you! everything for you! dedicating your days to someone who doesn't know that you think of them the amount that you do! doing things for someone that they'll never know of! picturing yourself with someone you think will never look your way again!!! he's a dream, and i'm doing fine asleep.

freshman year - small crush

sunvi. vi getting her view on everything skewed. she's having to get used to a new life, a new place, new people and nothing she can do to make the scenario more comfortable. but sunday can do something. so he does, and makes her feel as welcome as he can. he makes sure that she is loved properly, and cared for in the way she needs to be. "but I wish I knew then what I know now" if only she always knew how much sunday would do for her. (he'd do anything)

rumblin tummy - small crush

i swear I didn't plan for it to end like this but. tbh. this fits with everyone.

shroomiya: similar feelings to socks!! i'd never waste a day if it's spent with you! <3 no emotions are useless, no words are meaningless, because they're for her. everything is about her. everything is for her.

baivi: days upon days upon weeks months years and lifetimes spent with each other. spent sighing and dreaming and falling in love too many times to count, and then falling in love again!!! finding new ways to say I love you every day, and new ways to reciprocate.

kavexis: kavexis actually really feels like a couple who has a lot of accidental synchronization!! complimenting outfits, texting each other at the same time, confessions piling over each other because you were both so adamant that the other spoke first.

mizuha: making sure that the other is always cared for. during any absence, any reason for not being together, they are both always secure and excited to see each other again. and they always do, they always, always reunite.

shroomsym: I'm never ever going to be free from him, and honestly, I don't mind. I'd waste all my time finding him, talking to him, and thinking about him while I'm not with him.

sunvi: making space for each other, making time for each other, anything to accommodate to your beloved. because that's what you are to each other. everything you do, is in honor of them. sunvi feels like the type of couple to always be intertwined with each other, when you see sunday, vi is not too far behind. when you see vi, sunday was just making his way over with a bag of food and a kiss for the crown of vi's head.

verali: though he may deny it at times, veritas lives for all of alexis' mannerisms. everything she does fills him with love. everything she says makes him so, so happy. he'd really love it if he were able to just be with her for the rest of his life.

pantalovi: he always makes sure that vi is taken care of, because that is always the top priority. vi is everything to him, and he's everything to her. how could either of them be any less? when all of their spare time is spent on the other, how could there ever be any doubts that their love is less than unconditional and absolute?
