Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems
#sketchbook#scrapbook#Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at#but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open#image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best#medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a#limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont#know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and#excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines#and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch#pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color#or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being#'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my#outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one#more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page#before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then#was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down#stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and#having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's#a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the#scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol#Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube#face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to#work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time#be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm#(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a#pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

watching haikyuu after being in the blue lock pit for a while is so refreshing. like they're so normal
#one of my favorite things about liking different sports manga is getting to compare the protagonists#and hinata and isagi have a similar hunger—that's a really big theme in haikyuu too‚ and hinata in reference to the way he plays as eating#is brought up but it's different than isagi. i think the most succint way to put it is hinata's 'the view from the top is one i could never#see on my own' vs isagi's 'im a striker' [and the whole 'we will‚ no i will lead japan to victory] thing#but hinata's selfishness is an important part of his character as well and that's how he growsa#granted haikyuu is a story about connection and blue lock is a battle manga so like the comparisons are Clearly not necessarily. Accurate#but it's interesting!! that there's similarities. and i guess that could be attributed to the traits you need to be a successful athlete#i was on the same track team as a few guys who are probably going to be in the olympics and like. You have to be insane for these things#oh also another interesting comparison is hinata and isagi's relative backgrounds; hinata lives in a rural area and had a lot less#opportunities than his peers and did what he could and isagi is Literally Average Guy From Average Suburb.#i have few points to make here it's just interesting comparison [<- i think i have already said this twice]#though actually yeah the themes of class show up pretty consistently in hq but very subtly and it's literally just in like. the way you see#differences in opportunities based on income and area in real life. it's just There Always#anyway i have to go rinse.my hair the deep condition is done#masayapping#<- YAPPED FR

it's been like half a year but I'm still thinking about what a queer teen mood Darcy's outfit was in this pic. The rainbow scrunchie. The nb shirt. The pan tie-dye. It's such a mood to go "I don't care if they clash or not, heck I don't even care if I personally identify as all of these, they're all pride flag themed, and I WILL wear them together to show how aggressively queer I am".
And on a more somber note it's the fact that clothes like these are subtle enough that your parents/any adults you're closeted to probably won't notice (which if I recall right Darcy was still closeted to parents who she Knew weren't fully safe to come out to). And if they did ask her about any of those clothes individually she still had the plausible deniability of saying she just "liked the color scheme" like I'm sure many of us have said to cover up pride flag colored belongings before. But to other queer people? To her supportive and loving queer friend group? And most importantly to herself? They all know it's queer-themed, and they're the only ones who truly need to recognize it as queer.
And that's all that matters.
#heartstopper#heartstopper s2#darcy heartstopper#darcy olsson#lgbtq#queer#tbh if someone wanted to use this outfit to hc darcy as any of the labels mentioned then honestly GO FOR IT#id love some nb pan lesbian darcy hcs myself#but at least from what was seen in the show (feel free to correct me if its in the comics) darcy only identifies as lesbian?#but hey dude sometimes you gotta get some pride themed clothing to express yourself and sometimes you cant be picky abt which colors#for which flags you get its based purely on what you can find that doesnt have an obvious 'queer themed!' label slapped on it for your mom#to notice at check out. and i love darcy so much for it. literally one of my favorite outfits in the whole show#<- said by someone who actively buys outfits based on what elle wears lmao

omgg you modded your 3ds :0 what games did you get
Welcome to my very epic modded 3DS :D I’m gonna download pokémon x, rhythm heaven, and sonic generations tomorrow but it is currently late (I need to set the clock for daylight savings lol it’s an hour ahead rn, it’s 2am) and I thus want to go to bed <3
#spent the last two hours installing alpha sapphire lol. I gotta do bigger cias from qr cause my laptop doesn’t have a ton of space :p#I have a bunch of other cool themes installed rn too I just think this scenecore one fits the vibe the best for showing off my home screen#I’ve been mostly using a club penguin fishing minigame theme tho cause I love opening my ds to that classic music#it’s pretty much all pokemon games rn. I have red yellow leaf green silver crystal soul silver sapphire emerald alpha sapphire diamond#platinum black and white 2. lol#and of course breaking bad ds is there. I did not expect that game to be so fun#I’ll probably shuffle the cube w checkpoint to put x below that and just move my folder over to the next cube idk#the folder is really just for old stuff I don’t use (download play eshop etc) I kept it cause it was my 27th folder and that’s my favorite#number so. special 27 folder yaay#also idk if I’m gonna keep the Cyrus ac settings badge I just like the idea of badge app icons and that’s the only one I have#zoracontent#asks#anon

i don't have a point here except ???, but i realized today that starsky & hutch episode the psychic a) was written by micheal mann of (among many other things) classic crime thriller heat fame, and b) contains a baffling amount of (references to) crossdressing. it's one of the two episodes that opens with starsky and hutch chasing a guy in a dress (which gives us the "well i don't know, you('d) look rather nice in basic black and pearls" starsky-to-hutch line), later on they interrupt a robbery being committed by ANOTHER guy in a dress (and grey wig, posing as an old lady - presumably with the intent to disguise his identity rather than express some part of it, but who knows), and THEN they meet a hot lady mechanic who among many fast lines says to starsky "i'm really a basketball player in drag. whatever turns you on, honey" (interestingly timely, considering starsky's earlier comment about hutch). and finally, not entirely related but also not unrelated, there's these people at a laundromat hutch hits up on his mad phone chase at the end of the episode:
so yeah. ???.
#haven't revisited this episode in a long time (if ever?) because maybe-THIS-psychic-is-REAL plots... are not among my favorite#(due south has an episode very similar to this and i'm blaming starsky and hutch for it. c'mon guys.)#but!! everything else about this episode is FUN actually!! slightly wacky lots of great s&h interaction and oooh that chase at the end#but i just. what's with this one thing. is this an attempt to be clever with a theme? as in. deception maybe. or you don't know what's real#or a kinder interpretation: there are things you may not understand in this world but that doesn't mean they're not true for someone else?#or is it meant as a recurring joke? is it literally pure coincidence?#did michael mann even write that first scene or did it come from the other episode that uses it and just got tacked on here#which suddenly makes this episode seem like it's Doing something when it wasn't supposed to#i have! many questions! among which is. why the hell was starsky in such a bad mood. what happened#... are you telling me he's psychic too and he had a deep dark feeling hutch was going to almost die later on?#i feel like i need to make a psych reference here but i haven't watched enough of the show to be clever about it. 🍍 i guess#*#starsky and hutch

bomb group chat is the funniest thing in the world to me. ratio really said you guys can figure this one out yourselves
#personal stuff#seraph plays star rail#OH OKAY HE IS HELPING. HE JUST LEFT THE GROUP CHAT THE MOMENT HE HEARD WHAT WAS GOING ON. REAL.#wisely. i would not want notifications of Literally Every Playable Character From Penacony blowing up my phone either#hiii sparkle. loving the adapted monodrama theme they're using for this#also aventurine who is not on penacony and dealt with his share of bullshit already going lol. have fun with that#argenti and boothill gay moments.#BLACK SWAN JUST SHOWING UP. HI.#oh. okay. that was kind of anticlimactic#everyone's supposedly rushing to the bomb site but then we get a long ass conversation with firefly. then everyone is just chilling out#was everyone in on it?? was i the only one who didn't know?? why was i the only one heading to the fucking bomb abt to go off come on#anyway aventurine just hanging out in the spot where he almost died was funny. king shit#also kind of weird that the screen was still damaged even though we did a whole event to fix it. what was the point of that then#a lot of weird inconsistencies with this quest idk if i'm liking it#like. kind of weird that we had that whole sidequest with robin asking us to find sunday only for us to know where he is the whole time#anyway my favorite parts were the aventurine mentions and when aventurine showed up alive and friends w boothill. also ratio#OOH WE GOT A BUNCH OF VISITORS TO THE EXPRESS WOO.#but no aventurine :(#like boothill black swan sparkle robin and argenti yaay woooo#no acheron i can understand. but no aventurine......

[ 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚋𝚊 𝚗𝚊𝚘𝚖𝚒'𝚜 𝚝𝟷 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚊 ] 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚎𝚕𝚝𝚢
naomi's vd is here! i think this one is a little shorter than the other ones? at least it definitely feels like a short one to me.
well, naomi's crime was basically solved on my other blog, so i felt like it wouldn't make sense to try and make it sound more mysterious than it actually is, haha. she's still a very interesting character to me though and i'm excited to see how her trial goes.
(divider link)
(door opens)
(sounds of footsteps)
Miki: I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long..
Naomi: No, no, everything is fine, don't worry about it.
Naomi: I understand that you two are quite busy today, haha. If I recall correctly, you have to extract everyone's songs today, right?
Miki: Y-yes..
Naomi: And I'm only the fourth prisoner. You still have a lot of people to talk to today.
Miki: *nods*
Naomi: Well, do your best then. I'm sure everything will be fine.
Miki: T-thank you so much!
Eiji: *clears his throat*
Eiji: I'm also here, just so you know.
Naomi: Of course. Hello, um..
Naomi: Is it okay if I call you both by your first names? You both are guards, so calling you both "Guard-san" is kind of..
Eiji: Hey, who do you think you are to-
Miki: Yes, that would be so much better!
Naomi: Great. Hello, Eiji-san.
Eiji: (to Miki) What are you doing? She has no right to call us by our first names like that, she's just a prisoner!
Miki: Well, I'm tired of being called "Guard 002" or "Guard-san's assistant" all the time. So yes, I prefer my name better.
Eiji: .. What happened to you?
Miki: Maybe I'm just trying to act more like a guard?
Miki: You can still say her prisoner number and name though. It's your thing, after all.
Eiji: I-I know that..
Naomi: Haha, you two get along so well.
Eiji: So, Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi.
Eiji: Oh, you also were a teacher before arriving to Milgram.
Naomi: .. Yes, that's right. I was an elementary school teacher, to be more exact.
Miki: That's so cute! To be honest, I can definitely imagine you being a type of person who's good with children.
Naomi: !..
Naomi: Y-yes, a lot of people have told me that..
Eiji: So, an elementary school teacher..
Eiji: Even someone who spent so much time with children still ended up becoming a murderer.
Eiji: There's really no hope for all of you.
Naomi: Yes, I won't deny that I really did murder someone.
Miki: U-um, before we discuss that..
Miki: How about we talk about your life in Milgram?
Naomi: Well.. Sure, why not?
Miki: Do you get along well with other prisoners?
Naomi: Hm, let me think..
Naomi: Other prisoners are very.. interesting people.
Eiji: You mean they're all insane.
Naomi: *laughs* I don't really have a right to judge them for their behavior and for what they've done. I'm just like them, after all.
Naomi: I can't imagine some of them being criminals at all though..
Naomi: Like Yurika-san. She's so kind and gentle!
Naomi: And Aimi-chan. She's such a sweet and polite girl!
Eiji: You haven't mentioned Asahi though.
Eiji: Don't you think it's weird that he's here, since, you know, he's a child?
Naomi: ...
Naomi: Kids can be very cruel too, Eiji-san.
Naomi: Of course, a lot of prisoners here are children. Akio-kun, Aimi-chan, Riku-kun..
Naomi: But.. um.. Asahi-kun definitely seems like the type of child who is not as pure and innocent as you'd expect a child to be.
Eiji: It's like you had to deal with kids like that in the past.
Naomi: You're right.
Naomi: I love kids, I really do, but some of them..
Naomi: .. Can be more evil than any adults.
Naomi: And yes, usually people say that it's okay for children to do horrible things, because again, they're children, they don't understand what they're doing!
Naomi: But that's exactly what makes them so evil.
Naomi: We always say that adults are responsible for what they've done even if they didn't know better, but why do we go easy on children?
Miki: Um.. because they're children?
Naomi: Miki-san, were you ever hurt by a child?
Naomi: And what about you, Eiji-san?
Miki: ...
Eiji: ...
Naomi: Think about it. Refusing to play with someone just because they're "different", making fun of someone for some stupid reason they've just made up, hurting someone and then blaming that person for everything..
Naomi: Children are capable of all those things.
Naomi: I can tell that you two have met children like that before.
Miki: H-how do you know that?..
Naomi: You two are still children in my eyes. I know that a child had to go through something horrible when I look at them.
Naomi: I had to help a lot of my students. Some of them were abused by their own family, some of them were bullied by their classmates, some of them were simply ignored by everyone.
Naomi: And I can tell that you were just like them when you were younger.
Naomi: I'll tell you more, I feel like one of you is still really angry at that child who hurt them in the past, meanwhile the other one..
Naomi: Feels like they were that child who hurt someone very badly when they were younger.
Miki: ...
Eiji: .. Stop it. Let's just talk about your crime already.
Naomi: You're right. Sorry.
Naomi: But before we talk about that.. Can I ask you something?
Naomi: Eiji-san, you want to vote everyone here guilty, right?
Eiji: Haha, how did you know? Was that so obvious?
Eiji: Of course. I hate every single Milgram prisoner.
Naomi: I see. In that case..
Naomi: Can you promise to vote me guilty no matter what?
Miki: .. Huh??
Eiji: Sure, I'd love to!
Miki: No, wait, Chiba-san, what does that mean? Why do you want to be voted guilty?
Naomi: Well.. Because I want someone to tell me that they don't forgive me.
Naomi: I'm sick of it. I know that my crime is unforgivable, but..
Naomi: I've never got punished for it.
Eiji: .. What do you mean by that?
Naomi: My crime.. was seen as something good.
Naomi: Well, not exactly good, but not exactly bad either.
Naomi: Sure, I've never actually told anyone that I was the one who did it, but I just know that people wouldn't say that I'm evil for doing that.
Naomi: They would be okay with that. Even my victim's family would be okay with that.
Naomi: So, please.. Tell me I'm guilty.
Naomi: I will tell you everything you want to know about my crime. Just promise that you won't forgive me like everyone else did.
Eiji: Oh, you don't have to worry about that.
Eiji: Now, about your crime-
(bell rings, machinery sounds)
Miki: No, no, wait! We need more time! We finally can talk to a prisoner who actually wants to tell us everything about their crime, we can't lose that chance!
Eiji: It's okay, we'll learn everything we want to know very soon.
Naomi: But.. Are you sure that video will be enough to judge me properly?
Naomi: What if you decide that I'm innocent after watching it?
Eiji: Well, if that video makes you look sympathetic..
Eiji: It simply means that you actually want to be forgiven.
Naomi: I..
Naomi: I DON'T WANT TO BE FORGIVEN! I DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED! I LITERALLY KILLED A CHILD-
Eiji: Prisoner 004, Naomi, sing your sins!

#tbh naomi is probably one of my favorite prisoners? i think i did a good job with her character#like sure maybe she's similar to shidou but she also literally said “hey it's okay to like kids and still want to choke the annoying ones”#i have no idea what will happen to prisoners 003 and 004 like i can guess most characters' verdicts but these two?? idk..#i think it's also because their theme doesn't really show up? like you can see how everyone's themes are related to their murders but#i've never mentioned how other people's expectations from 003 and 004 were an important part of their motives#but they were. trust me#also. can we talk about the fact that naomi spent the whole vd basically going “fuck them kids” but when eiji was like#“haha what if you actually want to be voted inno” she suddenly used the “i'm literally a child murderer you can't forgive me” card#says a lot about her character haha :)#🎤 voice dramas! 🎤#🗡️guard 001: sanada eiji 🗡️#🌼guard 002: andou miki 🌼#🌿prisoner 004: chiba naomi🌿#milgram#milgram oc#milgram project

when someone asks me to show them one of my tumblr posts I never do or I like change stuff up. This is mainly bc a lot of my tumblr/internet experience consists of me attempting to find posts and even though it takes wayyy more effort than I expect anyone Ik irl to take it’s still like Possible. And I don’t need my irls seeing this account 💀
#mylife#Tumblr#no bc like Ik that I would take the large amount of pointless effort to find an account after someone shows me a post 💀#I wouldn’t look through the account beyond looking at their main theme or checking to see if they have any organization but still.#It’s like I was talking to a friend of mine who’s an a03 author and she wasn’t telling me what ship her work was for BUT she showed me the-#-comment of a user on one of her chapters. And from there it took be about 3 minutes to find her account and what fic it is#It would probably take the average person much longer but like once again that’s like my favorite thi to do on the internet find posts#I’m never going to read her fic bc like invasion of privacy and I feel bad for checking what it was at all but my point is if I’d do that-#-it’s possible for others to do so. I like doubt anyone would bc like weird insane behavior but internet safety from opposite direction ig

More misc. daily life pictures and such
#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1 & 2 - Very bright pretty looking sky !#2. HUGE icicle that looked like you could kill someone with it or something.. Pulled from near a gutter on the side of a building#3. & 4 & 5 - various images from a silly party I had where I pretended to be some elf king turning like 204 years old lol (also not like#a REAL party. Only my roommates were there really and we're all in the same household bubble.#just to clarify. I would never dare have a large party anyway given#my hermitous nature but on top of that.. didn't want there to be some implication that I'm having a Party while covid is still ongoing lol.#NEVER.. But I do love dressing up as some fantasy character so much.. The only thing that could ever bring a true hermit wizard#to engage with others socially is the prospect of connecting it somehow to fantasy worlds and costumes lol. One must simply dress up#as a silly 200 year old man from time to time and pretend you've never seen a balloon before in your life. etc.#6. bapy boye... feets#7. The main food that I made for the elderly elf man 'party'. which was a Deconstructed Beef Wellington (kind of as ajoke since I watch s#o many silly cooking competition shows and they always make stuff 'deconstructed' at the last minute when under time limits or whatever.)#I've wanted to make beef wellington a few times but Ithink to do it well I'd need like..an actual kitchen and a lot of time and#an oven that fully works to bake things and etc. etc. So I thought this would be an easier method. A thick steak cut round to kind of mimi#c the round tenderloin or whatever it is in a wellington. instead of the puff pastry being wrapped around - I just did star shaped cut outs#of pastry and baked them and put them on top (to go with the star theme). instead of mushroom duxelles being wrapped around in pastry#its in a little circle under the steak. and instead of mustard being brushed onto the meat I made a mustard gravy sauce type of thing#Then of course asparagus on the side.. my favorite... Though I know some wellington#also has a layer of prosciutto I think. or I saw one person use crepes. I didn't feel it was necessary to incorporate that too lol#8. bapy son helping me do a giant puzzle that took me hours and I had no idea it was actually that large of a puzzle#until I started putting it together and for some reason it made me stressed by the end instead of relaxed lol.. puzzle fatigue#photo diary

Am I the only one who doesn't really like the new Mother Mother song? Ever since Inside Deluxe version came out with Hayloft 2 (and even a bit before that) there's been a change to their music that I'm not a big fan of. I feel like they've gone the Weezer route, the lyrics themselves used to portray how quirky, charming, and different they were but in their current songs they just spell that sentiment out for you instead of letting you infer it from the lyrics. ESPECIALLY with a new song thats basically just "look at how abnormal and out of the box we are", what made O My Heart so great was the same sentiment but it wasn't spelled out explicitly, the entirety of Eureka does the same exact thing as Normalize but way more effectively.
This isn't to say that the song is bad! Musically it's great but the lyrics on their newer songs and albums leave something to be desired that their past songs accomplished. The bridge or hook or whatever you want to call it is so grating on me, a word shouldn't lose its meaning because it gets repeated so many times in one song. Musically the song is great but it's also overproduced, I can hardly hear what they're even singing in the verses because of the mixing of audio and all the effects put over their voices. The music is good as I keep saying but it also sounds like 3 different songs smashed together and sometimes it works but other times it's like "what are you guys even doing here?" It goes from alt pop rock to horror soundtrack, I like the horror soundtrack vibes, I wished they leaned into that more.
And the part at 2:28 when Jasmin screams "Die!" sounds so awkward, it picks up pace so suddenly like it's going from a 25 all the way up to 100. I wouldn't mind that if it wasn't such a sharp jump from one part of the song to the other, it just doesn't really work. (Don't even get me started on the fact that they used the word "unalive" in this song. Tell me you're writing for a tiktok audience without telling me you are) It just feels like they went from writing songs for themselves, or people their age, to writing songs for teenagers going through puberty. They used to sound so real and relatable but it doesn't feel natural anymore. It feels to me like they're trying to capture the resurgence of success O My Heart had in 2020 with their new albums. We will never have another OMH because it already exists and they made it! I really liked the use of violins and horns in OMH because you don't hear that in many rock songs, I just wish their use of it in this song didn't sound like they were trying to make OMH 2 (like they did with a certain song off of OMH.....)
It feels to me like MM is trying to capture the past and live it differently this time rather than moving on with the future. One of their older albums that reminds me of OMH a lot is The Sticks and that still sounds different! A lot darker and more mysterious, I wish they'd reinvent themselves rather than reinvent the past. I'm still a fan of them and I always will be but I'll be a fan of them the way Weezer fans still like Weezer: I'll listen to stuff past Pinkerton but the first two albums are the best. Which album of MM's is their Pinkerton? That's debatable but most tracks off Dance and Cry are still a hit for me, Inside and beyond has me cringing a bit
If you disagree then please feel free to have a convo with me about it! I'd love to talk about MM in depth with someone else! I don't mean to say these things in a needlessly pessimistic way, when MCR came back from their hiatus they managed to make a song that sounded like their old songs while feeling fresh, creative, and new. I know MM could do that too, I'm not opposed to bands changing up their sound from album to album either, The Sticks, Eureka, and Touch Up are some of my favorite albums by them and they all sound so different from each other, the newer songs and albums just sound like most of the alt pop stuff playing on the radio. I don't want them to make a radio hit, I just want them to make songs I like again
Who knows, maybe the new album will come out and I'll change my mind but I have a feeling this will be like the release of Inside for me: all the good songs will be put out as singles
#mother mother#mini rant about one of my favorite bands starting to lose me. such a shame#during the VIP acoustic show before my concert they said this new album was going to be centered around the theme of death#that got me excited. hopefully really. thinking they were gonna go back to their alt rock roots but this single has made me lose hope lmao#i hope to GOD this isnt gonna be a concept album about 'the death if the self while trying to be normal and fit in'#The Sticks was described as a concept album with all the themes of escaping society to get away from the noise but that was an accident#i dont hate concept albums and i dont hate the sentiment of this single but the way theyre going about it just feels so ingenuine#PLEASE if yoi dont agree with me then have a conbersation about it and let me know how you feel!#if youre a teenager that got into them in the last 2 years DNI unless youre gonna say something other than 'idk i like the modern sound!'

the general plotline from wolf -> jamba -> cowboy -> awkward is one of my fav parts of wolf
#ignorance cloud on#that and the partyisntover/campfire/bimmer -> ifhy -> pigs plotline#to me the intro of the album just makes so much sense. like we have this cinematic intro that then leads into the kinda fun/funny scene#that shows you all the necessary characters (wolf sam and salem) along w all the side characters#then we get an aside from the quote unquote ‘villain’ of the album and his perspective on things#which then has an immediate tie into a flashback scene establishing why sam is so protective of salem and wants wolf to stay away#it’s like. a very clear story up to that point! then we kinda lose the plot for a bit until the other plotline i mentioned#bc while this album is a concept album w a general story it kinda fluctuates between like.#tyler himself and the characters of wolf and samuel (which some can argue are just two different aspects of himself since that’s basically#what wolf is already as established through goblin)#anyways. that’s why i say wolf is one of my favorite writing albums bc like. the way the story flows helps me regulate my brain#IGOR has a more concise story imo but i like wolf just a bit more in terms of structure#like IGOR overall has my favorite themes and like characters. but wolf has an interesting story structure#sorry i have to be insane abt tyler the creator it’s almost july which means it’s almost new album season
