I'm gonna explain one of my TMA playlists bc I've been wanting to do that for several months, and how else am I supposed to procrastinate my animatic project at one in the morning?

(here's the link to the playlist bc I think its pretty slappin')

General:

Body Terror Song By AJJ-

I know that it could technically be a flesh song, but I feel like its a bit more vague than that? if that makes sense?

The Afternoon By Lemon Demon-

there's gonna be a lot of Lemon Demon songs in this lol- This one is also pretty vague, but for some reason it kinda reminds me of Michael specifically? I don't 100% know how to describe it.

thrifted youth By dalynn-

Most of the descriptions/reasonings in the general section are pretty simplistic and vague huh? I guess it just kinda fits the vibe? I might be saying that for a lot of the general ones-

Aurora Borealis By Lemon Demon-

this one reminds me of the season five, kinda feels like a jmart song. (also you'll probably notice that there's not much in the ship theme in this playlist. I like to keep my ship playlists separate from my more general ones, don't know why.)

Under My Skin By Jukebox The Ghost-

just kinda fits the vibe y'know? other than that I don't really know.

Turn the Lights Off By Tally Hall-

i can't actually remember why I put this one specifically- that's a bit unfortunate-

When He Died By Lemon Demon-

This one mostly just fits the vibe, makes me think about the really old Victorian era statements.

Ancient Aliens By Lemon Demon-

again, fits the vibe.

She Doesn't Sleep By Anthony Amorim-

Feels like a random statement tbh. also reminds me of Not!Sasha too.

Nightmare Fuel By Lemon Demon-

funky song- fits the vibe- I don't know what more I can say-

Everybody Loves Me by OneRepublic-

I don't remember actually???? I think It was an Elias one??? but thinking about it now that doesn't really make much sense???? I'm gonna keep it tho, fits the vibe, at least it does to me.

Bloody Nose By Jack Conte-

fits the vibe :)

Christmas Kids By Roar-

I think I saw an animatic to this one time? now I can only think of the season one archival staff,,,, my beloveds,,,,

La nuit en matin By OH MU-

imma be honest, I have no idea what this one's actually about, but It lowkey reminds me of the intro music during end of season three- y'know, the clown vibes :D

9 to 5 By Dolly Parton-

Archival staff moment

American Healthcare By Penelope Scott-

I guess it could technically be seen as an End themed one? but I put it on bc I felt like it fit the vibes (are you getting sick of reading vibes? i'm getting sick of typing it)

Butch 4 Butch By Rio Romeo-

mostly just the rat filled piano line,,,,,, and also it fits the vibes to me.

Oblivion By Grimes-

Kinda feels like a statement?? In a way?

Murders By Miracle Musical-

the vibes. hopefully thats the last time i type that for this-

oh yeah woo yeah, we're onto the specific Entities now B) lets start with the one that probably has the most, if not, it sure feels like it-

The Spiral:

Spiral Eyes By Rewenge-

yeahhhh,,,, I know it doesn't really fit the vibes all that well, But the title fits and I like it so-

The Distortionist By Ghost and Pals-

this one is SUPER obvious, but it fits REALLY well in my mind.

Out of Her Head (Outerlude) [From The Film Possibly in Michigan] By Korban Baxter-

I can literally picture this one- I lowkey wanna do an animatic of this one one day.

A Crow's Trial By Vane Lily-

OKAY- so this last one is because it's the song from an absolutely GORGEOUS animation/animatic by Akidachi on YouTube, I ADORE this animation. please watch it omg-

again, I'm like, 90% sure that The Spiral has the most songs on this playlist, definitely not a bias or anything. next up is the mf uhhhh-

The Corruption:

Spiral of Ants By Lemon Demon-

no explanation needed.

Maggot By Slutever-

Mostly just the name, but it's a good song too so-

Sick On Seventh Street By Sarah and the Safe Word-

fits the vibe title and actual song wise.

in retrospect under my skin probably could be here-

The Web:

Redesign Your Logo (Bonus Track) By Lemon Demon-

Feels like a very web song,,,

Boris The Spider By The Who-

Spider,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Spider Dance By Toby Fox-

Yes,,, like from undertale,,,,,,,

i think thats it for the web (i swore there were more,,,,)

The Lonely:

Nobody By Mitski-

C'mon, you didn't think I WOULDN'T put this one on, did you?

This December By Ricky Montgomery-

idk what it is exactly about this one, just,,,, feels correct?

Blue Jay Way By The Beatles-

MANNNNNNN- i love this song, my mom hates it- that's unrelated- but I always just feel like there's fog or like, an eerie sea, or something- while listening to it. it feels very lonely-

I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew (1909) By Eddie Morton-

I have no idea why spotify suggested this song to me, but I will never not find it funny. Anyway- reminds me of the crew on Peter's ship :)

The Stranger:

Rattlesnake By Kabaret Sybarit-

Idk, feels like smth Nikola would sing at jon- idk how else to explain it-

A Mask of My Own Face By Lemon Demon-

pretty self explanatory lolll

The Slaughter:

War Pigs By Black Sabbath-

war.

The Hunt:

The Hunter By Slaves-

maybe this one is because it's because it's litterally called the hunter, and that they say hunter a bunch, but it is fun to listen to-

Teeth By 8 Graves-

I cannot remember my reasoning at this current moment-

The Flesh:

Body By Mother Mother-

the lyrics do be fittin doe

The Dark:

Everything Goes Dark By The Hoosiers-

i mean- everything goes dark- what more do you want me to say-

Dr.Sunshine Is Dead By Will Wood and the Tapeworms-

i think its mostly the song's vibe and the title.

The End:

The Trick to life By The Hoosiers-

the trick to life is not to get too attached to it.

Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world By Will Wood-

remember death.

YOOO OKAY NOW WE'RE ON THE ONES THAT I HAVE ACTUAL THINGS TO SAY ABOUT NOW- at least for the most part-

Characters:

i think i'm gonna go from least to most for this- (spoilers, Jon has the most ones because I care him)

Cryptid Hunt- Demo By Averno, Sushi Soucy-

this one makes me think of the WTGFs,,,,,

You're at the Party (Bonus Track) By Lemon Demon-

makes me think about Micheal Shelley,,,,,,,

Saint Bernard By Lincoln-

Alice "daisy" Toner moment-

Mary By The Happy Fits-

mary keay,,,,,,

there used to be a gerry one too, but the more I heard it in the context of the playlist and him, It just didn't fit,,,,,

Ew it's Elias/jonah time-

The Fine Print By The Stupendium-

capitalism- jk- kinda- Idk, just feels like it fits because he really just kinda,,, doesn't care about his employees-

How Bad Can I Be? from the lorax-

I had to-

Boss 3 from the terraria soundtrack-

Listen- I don't know why- but- it has elias/jonah vibes- the vibes are fowl, but the song is good.

Ruler of Everything By Tally Hill-

Panopticon/eyepocolypes time-

Ayooo it's jon time- I really hope I can write out my thoughts in a way that makes any kind of sense- /foreshadowing

A Sadness Runs Through Him By The Hoosiers-

Goddddd,,,,, he's just kinda filled with sadness and survivors guilt, just like, all the time huh?

Home By Cavetown-

the lyrics are just- very him- like- I just gjbdjgsflkjns-

Broken Crown By Mumford & Sons-

frick- the foreshadowing was accurate- the best I can describe it is that the lyrics just???? y'know??? hhh why am I like this sometimes-

Sweet HIbiscus Tea By Penelope Scott-

i'm willing to bet that he never wanted to be the main character-

Honey I'm Home By Ghost and Pals-

I saw a Jon centric animatic to this one time- I can't for the life of me remember who by, But everytime I hear the moth lines, my brain goes ":0" Because I remember there was a time when people kept drawing moth jon- I don't know where that came from but I thought it was very cool.

Who Are You, Really? By Mikky Ekko-

I'm like- actually starting to get frustrated with how poorly im articulating my thoughts right now- this just isn't funny anymore-

Sleep By My Chemical Romance-

I'm not actually sure why for this one- I just remeber putting on my black parade CD, hearing this, and being like, "damn, that do kinda be jon tho-"

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings- tbh, all this sounded and read out better in my head. My words might not make sense, but I do like how the playlist is. also im very tired, maybe this would've been written better if I wasn't struggling to keep my eyes open lol. I'm gonna fall asleep now- or maybe i'll post a spiral themed doodle dump again, who knows. I don't know.

Cyborg 009 Manga - Aphrodite, Star Mermaid, & Deep Space

Aphrodite

-Okay, this one just felt like the plot of a hentai. Neo Black Ghost creates an island of pleasure for their soldiers where they collect a bunch of sex slaves and masterpieces of art. They implant something in the girls’ brains that makes them docile and horny. I thought Cyborg 009 was a children’s manga but okay...

-It’s kind of funny that the pleasure island includes high-brow art. I feel like the soldiers really don’t care about that part lol 

-I’m guessing Francoise was able to resist the brainwashing because she’s a cyborg but then why did it even work on her in the first place? Was she just dazed for a second there?

-Seeing 007 with boobs was pretty disturbing lol 

-I feel like it’s a cliche in Japanese art classes to make people draw busts of famous statues/sculptures so I wonder if this chapter was nostalgic for Ishinomori lol 

-Pretty savage at the end how they just leave the bad guys to die in hydrochloric acid. I feel like modern day super heroes usually try to save the bad guy. I like it better this way tho lol. Screw them terrorists!

Star Mermaid

-Yaaaay a Titanic story! I feel like Cyborg 009 hits all the middle schooler obsessions: Greek mythology, alien conspiracy theories, etc. 

-Man this arc is already using super difficult nautical vocabulary so it might take me awhile to get through. 

-Watch the focus not be on Pyunma at all even though this is the perfect setup for him lol 

-Okay...it’s not about the Titanic. It’s about a space mermaid (another middle schooler interest lol)

-Can someone tell me why the mermaid went from an A cup to a F cup in like one panel? I’m dying laughing. Jet even calls her “Boing-chan” lol. They aren’t even well drawn, they overlap like circles in a venn diagram.

-So this was the randomest story ever. Some old dude tells the cyborgs to go find the Titanic because his wife died in the disaster. They go into the deep sea and get sucked into some kind of warp that sends them to a robot/mermaid planet thing. They reluctantly help the mermaids fight the robots and then they’re like “wait...why is this our problem??” lol. Eventually they just decide to dump the mermaids on a similar planet and call it a day. It ends on a fake deep message about how “we’ll all be mermaids on day~” cuz of global warming or whatever. The old Titanic dude is never mentioned again and some of the mermaids get left behind on their island and die without much fanfare. Kay...Imagine if the solution to a human problem was just “well, just go to another planet!” I don’t think we’d be like “Good idea!” 

-I understand why Gilmore would need a mask to breathe in space but why does 001 need one? Is it cuz he’s an earlier model? 

Deep Space

-Oh interesting. Based on the first chapter and the title page of chapter 2 is this going to be a series of one shots where each cyborg gets their own planet? The baby planet was really cute :’3 It’s funny that this is the follow-up to Star Mermaid. I guess Ishinomori was going through a real space phase...

-Seeing Ivan solo chapters is so rare, I feel blessed <3 

-LOL Jet’s bird planet. It’s like the Rito in Legend of Zelda! I liked Leda’s design. We don’t get enough big-nosed girls in anime. (Of course, she dies immediately lol)

-So, are these all going to end with the cyborgs screwing something up? Are these nightmares?

-Francoise was probably more expressive here than in any other chapter! Her conclusion was pretty dark. It was pretty savage how she just insta-killed the villain no questions asked. Also, apparently he was the good guy because humans suck and they’re better off being transformed into animals? 

-I don’t know what it is but the 004 chapter gave me major Star Wars “Droid rights!” vibes. I really liked the robot’s design. It was also nice to see Albert on a robot’s side for once too 

-Okay...I didn’t understand Geronimo’s chapter at all but...was that an Amaterasu reference?

-I didn’t know whether to laugh or be disturbed by 006′s chapter. The pigs were really funny looking but it was kinda messed up how 006 just bashed them in the head. Also...why a Nazi reference?

-007′s chapter was probably the most random so far. Weretiger lady causes GB to hallucinate things?? Okaaay...Also, it’s weird how drinking is supposed to be this huge weakness for 007 but we don’t actually see him drink that much typically...

-The only thing I got out of Pyunma’s nightmare was that I really like how Ishinomori draws animals. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a sea lion in a manga lol. It took me a second to register what it was

-009 has an awkward Freudian dream. We’ve all been there Joe -pat pat-

-I’m glad Gilmore was included. He didn’t really get his own “planet” though and his was much shorter. His dream felt closest to a real dream to me.

-So in the end the reasoning behind all the crazy dreams was

...very on brand
