#oughhhhhhhh the dream though

[ent-is-indecisive]

I just need to lie facedown on someone's chest/tummy while they like read or play video games (not paying attention to me) for a couple of hours and i swear i'll feel better.

[luckyyyduckyyy]

Heyyyy, so I got a band fixation and the ear worms are at it again soooo, dumping it all here >:3

If you wanna see KGLW songs I'm feral over, they're all below the cut. If not feel free to mosey along! I am just in need to shout into the void.

Ohhh my God I love this band so much. The different genres they do... The recognizable sound. The banger after banger...

They give me like 80% of inspiration for all the WIPs I have tucked away in Google docs 😭

Set is just so perfect. While I don't like the entire Silver Cord album, the songs I do like gave me such cool ideas. Also obvious is obvious, a lot of sun and moon mentions in this song.

Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh my beloved. Gilgamesh the destroyer of worlds- Oh the things I want to animate to this.

Ok this is just turning into a music dump-

Let's put more!

LIVE!!! THEIR LIVES ARE SO GOOD! SADIE SORCERESS IS SO ME FR FR!!! I AM HER!!!

And while I'm at it- MORE RED ROCK LIVE SONGS 💥💥💥 (I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE ITS NOT FAIRRRR)

Wah Wah my beloved. The original is PEAK but then they do the live aND THEY MERGE IT WITH THEIR JAMMY SONG "RIVER". AUUUGHHHHHHHH HOWWWWWWWW

Alter me my beloved- Leah Sr. My beloved- Her voice haunts my dreams its awesome. I was only an Arc 1 & 2 lover of MOTU but then she had to slap me with her voice here and made me understand that all 3 are beautiful.

Okie lets end this brain dump on non-live songs since Tumblr only allows 10 songs womp womp.

Oughhhhhhhh Ice Death songs.... Ice Death save me. Ice Death my beloved... Will we survive.... Ice V?

Nonagon my most beloved. My first album. My darling. I'd say Wah Wah is my favorite, and my boyfriend keeps trying to convince me Road Train is actually my favorite since I bounce hard to it, but at least we both agree that People-Vultures was my first love. (Though Robot Stop was my first KG song ever so hmm. It's a toughie to choose.)

Rat's Nest my actual favorite. My go to. My darling. 10/10 can do no wrong. Listen to all the songs. Metal to work hard to. Farming my Organs while rich people go to mars and Earth becomes Hell. My fav from this Album is Venusian 2, but its preview isn't it so take Mars For The Rich. :3

Fishing For Fishies is under appreciated and I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. MY GOOFY GOOBER DESERVES MORE. HAN-TYUMI JUST WANTS TO FISH FOR HIS FISHIES BUT THE END TIMES IS HAPPENING >:(((

Flying Microtonal Banana. Yes. That is the album name. I love KGLW. I love this album. Nuclearing my Fusion until I am essentially one being. These mfs need to make more microtonal music NOW!!!

Thank you for perusing my wares. I have so many songs I love. I must shout out my brain rot somewhere.

I didn't even get to put songs from I'm In Your Mind Fuzz or Petro Dragon in here... Or Flight B741 or Omnium Gatherum or Butterfly 3000 or Polygondwanaland or-

Ive accidentally reached the post limit so Ive basically been doing my liveblog in my notes app, i wrote all of this while watching the February 4th 2022 vod

Oughhhhhhhh the way Sams literally begging

Oh the "present" is gonna be a clock isnt it

Oh nvm its a cake, which is just. so evil man, cakes have terrible saturation but Sam doesnt have anything else so ofc hes gonna be grateful even though its shit

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I was definitely wrong about Dreams manipulation tactics changing with his goals. Like, i still dont think he wants to work with Sam or be 'friends' with him like with Tommy during the exile arc, but he is still doing the thing of breaking people down and then building them up with a fascimile of kindness so that theyll listen to him

Im assuming the time passed irl is the same as the time passed in-universe which means that Sam has been alone in the prison for 4 days but Dream is a lying motherfucker whos telling him that its only been one day

Okay now hes saying its been 2 days but hes still lying

HE DID GET HIM A CLOCK IM GONNA LOSE IT

Okay he wants to compare hkmself and Sam, Im very curious bc this will hopefully grant us some insight into how Dream like, actually percieves himself and his actions

Okay, two things:

1. Dream being like "[the evil bunker full of everyones sentimental items] was just theater" has some serious Wilbur vibes ngl

2. Dream is sooooooo obsessed with Tommy istg

Dream is asking Sam what bad things hes done aside from manipulate Tommy and be dramatic and Sam is like "uhhhhh idk tbh......" as though Dream isnt the guy responsible for Lmanberg blowing up thrice

Sam is basically asking Dream if the things Dream did were wrong/bad and its like, you cant do that, you cant cushion your opinions on someones bad action in this kind of insecurity, especially if youre talking to someone known to be manipulative!!

Ouhhghhh the way Dream can basically make up anything he wants about Tommys time in exile because barely anyone, but esepcially not Sam, visited him

"How was it my fault that Tommy was exiled" I dont even have anything to say, Im just kinda enamoured by the realization of how little people other than Tommy and maybe Wilbur actually know about the exile

Dream just mentioned the Egg and 1. I had already basically completely forgotten about that and 2. The timeline of Drea involvement with the Egg is like, he briefly checked on it back when everything was still kinda kicking of, didnt worry about it for weeks or even months and then he was in jail for a year and he basically completely missed all of the Egg Lore like damn, I hope Punz properly explained all that bullshit to him lol

God, Im projecting so hard rn but Dream weaponizing his own genuine suffering in order get what he wants which also shields him from having to confront the ways it was made him suffer and how it actually affected him is so relatable

Ive been spoiled so I know theyre gonna try and make c!Dream more sympathetic later on and i know a lot of people really hate that and honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that he didnt get his own POV/only got it very late which gives people less opportunity to sympathize or empathize with him and also really dehumanizes him. Idk this is kinda complex and I'll probably make a seperate post about it

Im going to lose my mind, Dreams monologue about how everyone is the hero in their own story and a villain in many others literally sounds like a thesis statement, like if the Dream SMP had a kids show-esque "message" like so many people inexplicably want it to, it would be this more than literally anything else

OHHHHHHHH the double meaning of Dream telling Sam that he built the prison for him. mwah, perfection

"Dream said he wouldnt lock anyone up in the prison" WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST HIM

Ooooooooooo Sam grouping himself in with Dream..........

HES TAKING SAM OUT OF THE PRISON

Hes giving Dream full access to the prison theres no way this could possibly go well

Sam as the users manual for the prison vs Dream as the revival book...........

👁👁 HES KILLING SAM??

SAMS DEAD VOD OVER

[wanderingpeonies]

WOOOOOOOOOO here you go. idk julien baker outside of boygenius so these are all lucy dacus and that. anyways, this is organized by album.

—

from the historian album:

‘body to flame’ was what got me into her music it is so fucking good. amazing metaphor shit oughhh. tears your lungs out of your body and then stomps on them and then shoves them back in upside down

‘next of kin’ has multiple banger i wanna die lines and some cool depersonalization themes ,,,, very good.

‘pillar of truth’ is. ohhhhh my god. sad sad sad metaphors and all that shit. like jesus christ i am falling over into a pit of spikes absolutely amazing .

‘night shift’ is her most popular & i honestly am not a super big fan of most of the song. it’s just the last part that is so gut wrenching,, anyways it’s about an abusive / bad relationship.

from the no burden album:

‘map on a wall’ isn’t super sad but it has great figurative language that’s just like. bittersweet, i think?

‘dream state…’ and ‘…familiar place’ are like. twin songs with similar themes and repeated line between them. it’s not explicitly sad but feels incredibly melancholy and solemn. really really good

from the home video album:

‘please stay’ is wonderful. it’s about a friend being suicidal and like . you get the gist. really fucking sad and that repetitive kind of sadness that makes you want to die violently

‘thumbs’ is on the very specific topic of dacus’s friend having an absent and abusive father and meeting him again. its really good though and sad,, definitely worth considering

‘triple dog dare’ is SO good and definitely very much sad queer ,,, ough. so good. also a specific story, but really good

‘cartwheel’ is ripping my heart and ribs out and leaving me to bleed out on the pavement. soooo many metaphors and horrible sadness and more horrible horrible sadness.

‘VBS’ is also a specific story about like. church summer camp. but its so good and sad and amazing

both songs in the home again / it’s too late album are BANGERS and very sad. yea.

‘my mother and i’ is SO FUCKING GOOD its really really depressing and amazing . cries

—

from boygenius, the band lucy dacus and julien baker are in with phoebe bridges:

from the the record album:

‘without you without them’ is so fucking depressing and it’s not in the same musical style as any other song on this list, but oughhhhhhhh i love it

���cool about it’ is sad and like. not extremely so, but it’s really good. yes.

‘true blue’ is sad but in a happy way, like. oh my god im so used to bad shit, why is this good??? yea like that

‘we’re in love’ is very melancholy and just. aaughjhhhhh you know. really bittersweet so so so sad,,, metaphors and figurative language everywhere,,,,,, i am on the floor

from the boygenius album:

‘bite the hand’ makes me want to drown in a river its so good auooughhhh indescribable sadness

‘salt in the wound’ is amazing with really good abuse metaphors and just. god. fuck!!!!!!!!!!!
