What are some of your favorite aro-/ace-coded fob lyrics?

oh fuck yes a little bowl of seeds just for me

boycott love from disloyal order of water buffaloes is a personal favorite of mine. its a lyric i really really want tattooed at some point. that's not the only lyric i latch onto from an aro perspective but it's probably the biggest one

basically the entirety of it's hard to say "i do" when i don't but a special mention goes to you are appealing to emotions that i simply do not have as well as the only ring i want buried with me are the ones around my eyes

it's true romance is dead / i shot it in the chest and in the head from the music or the misery is also a favorite of mine, also just that whole song in general

i thought i loved you but it was just how you looked in the light in hum hallelujah resonates with a lot of queer folks i've found, and it's no different for me

same goes for it's a strange way of saying that i know i'm supposed to love you from g.i.n.a.s.f.s.

i'm outside the door, invite me in / so we can go back and play pretend from alone together brings me back to when i was trying to perform heteronormativity/amatonormativity even if it was making me miserable

i also hold to a very similar vibe with she said "i love you 'till i don't" / i am just playing house, no idea what i'm doing now from sunshine riptide and also most of burna boy's verse, frankly. i fell in love but i didn't fall down and feel like i'm bulletproof, baby in particular

american beauty/american psycho, particularly the first verse. i think i fell in love again / maybe i just took too much cough medicine

golden is a big one for queer folks in general i've found. the chorus especially hits hard from an aro and/or ace reading. and i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies / and all the lovers with no time for me

i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth is a heavy song no matter how you slice it. but that chorus gets to me in particular: we can fake it for the airwaves / force our smiles, baby, half-dead / from comparing myself to everyone else around me

the kids aren't alright reads to me as one big anthem for platonic love above anything romantic, which resonates super hard with me. the second verse has a lot of good lines that i latch onto from an aroace lens too. your love is anemic and i can't believe / that you couldn't see it coming from me

pretty much the whole chorus of HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T does it for me, and those verses have got some good aroallo vibes too! i never really feel a thing... confidants but never friends...

the whole of fake out is a gimme. that chorus rings real true. starts with love is in the air, i just gotta find a window to break out and finishing with but it was all a fake-out

i've got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers is one that has another highly applicable title but the whole refrain of the truth hurts worse / than anything i could bring myself to do to you paired with the one-two punch of that second verse REALLY gets under my skin

and of course, the culminating one: you are what you love, not who loves you from save rock and roll. obviously there are a LOT of ways to read that line

there are a couple other songs i latch onto - wilson (expensive mistakes); a little less "sixteen candles", a little more "touch me"; the (after) life of the party to name a few - but the ones listed above are the big lyrics that resonate with me on a personal level

just in general i have a shitton of fob over on my aro playlist (which doubles as a general aroace/queer playlist but has a lot of emphasis on aromanticism) in case i forgot to mention anything but like i said those are the big ones

Here is the Reason Why I Am Not A Destiel Fan Anymore:

And the reasons I refuse to go back to being one:

So in retrospect, the SuperWhoLock fandom has been by and large a pretty big fandom that has been running a good while. I don't think it's stopped. I have always loved Doctor Who, as that- alongside the works of Mr.Henson and the brilliant creations from his creature shop, were my first introductions to all things weird and other worldly. Horror was another story. I will be more than happy to talk about that another day. So as time went on, in abouts the late summer/early fall of 2005, right before I turned 13, I was introduced to Supernatural. Starring Jared Padelecki and Jensen Ackles. The person I was watching it with was bouncing up and down, all excited because "Oh my gosh, it's so nice to see you watching something other than anime." (The cow.), and because it was nearing Halloween time and it was both of our favorite time of year for two very different reasons. This would end up being the start of my enjoyment of a long running series that had a good premise, but a very confusing story line after season five. (Sorry but it felt...skewed after that point. But I stayed loyal.) In any case, I eventually started shipping Destiel because of the constant queer baiting. Which didn't exactly, idk help the situation? And with that I ended up being a shipper for a good seven and a half, I repeat, SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS. Hardly anyone sticks with a shop that long. (But being autistic you kind of stick with a lot of things for a long ass time. *Mumbles something about a certain one winged angel from the nineties*.)

My enjoyment of the ship came to a close when I was at a fantasy convention the spring of 2016. I was at one of the Double tree locations with an ex of mine and dressed up as a fae queen, laughing, having a good time and just having good conversations with the people at our table. I was with a troupe that my ex and I had started and we were initially responsible for acting out as "hosts" for the opening and closing for these events, and even "opening the portals to the realms" 🙄. When out of character we were still expected to be gracious hosts....well, more like I was. The man could get away with spilling a punch bowl over his head while mooning an entire audience, yet still somehow do no wrong. If I complained, or made a peep in my defense, the whole world would come crashing down. Even with some of the people we spent time with. And some of the people we spent time with were Destiel shippers who liked to bring strangers into our space without asking, or without any given warning or invitation. At that time, it'd been Supernatural fans who were not only Destiel shippers....but also Cockles fans.

[I am going to pause for a moment here because I feel the need to emphasize that shipping is fine. Shipping is a great way to escape reality for a period of time and even let loose the pent up need for some sort of intimacy in ones life, regardless of the type that is needed. But to allow it to interfere with reality, to force real people into seeing each other and actually make it so that it can't be left alone for years after? That's where there is an issue. And people who can't see that need to re-evaluate themselves and get some fucking help.]

There were few things that my ex and I agreed on, and one of them had been that uninvited guests had been a nono. However, the rules at play prevented me from saying anything while in costume. He had to dismiss the person. He had to tell them it was time to go and that "appreciated the travellers journey, however it was time for the court to take it's respite." . And yet he didn't. So as these people went on, our troupe laughed and carried on with the conversation. I did my best to segue into a different topic, and tried my hardest not to show discomfort. Because to do so would be breaking the rules. The uninvited guests went on....and on...and on. They ignored my attempts and ignored the fact that I had requested two glasses of wine and a white Russian. They carried on about how Destiel was technically canon, and how Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins were secretly dating behind the scenes. I looked for any reason I could to get the hell out of dodge. And I found my salvation when I found a friend of mine standing over by the bar.

"Pardon me, my dear..." I said, with a soft lilt in my voice. "As compelling as this conversation has been, I find that I have urgent business with a friend of the forest." As bewildered as my poor guest was, I immediately left before they could say anything more. I hated the conversation. I hated feeling trapped. It felt draining and honestly, going to my friend was the best decision I felt that I could make. And when I got to him, he mentioned that I looked like I needed help. And for a man like my ex to not say anything, he was a little disappointed.

Over the next few years, I ran into several more of these shippers at events that I'd helped run. I insisted that the rules be changed, and while he did not like it, he knew that I would not back down on the issue. The same people tried joining our gathering by one of our troupe members behest, and without warning. Upon recognizing me, they grew excited and hoped to continue the conversation from the last time they'd seen me.

"Why don't we talk about something else?" I groaned. I recalled the unpleasant experience I had with them last time as they hardly allowed a word in edgewise.

There was a long pause.

As if summoning a great storm, I was suddenly accused of being homophobic and told that I only played a queen because I whined and sobbed my way into it. And I stood there, allowing the insults to continue until they couldn't anymore. I figured it was just best to let them kick dirt at a statue and smile at them exhausting themselves.

I'm sure some of you may think me a horrible person fo this. I am sure some of you are thinking "why are you telling us this? There's no point."

Because some of you need to know the extent of how some fandoms and their shippers behave.

Back then Destiel and Cockles were as bad as LDS's. Now...well they're still just as bad. But twice as aggressive. And while I was one, I don't think I ever went that far. I would often ask things like "Aren't those two married?" When it came to the Cockles fans. Or say "I'm from way south Alabama and experienced ISA, please stop." To the Wincest shippers. Every single time I would say something like this, some would try to come directly for my throat. Literally. Hell, someone grabbed me by the hair once. All because I dared to disagree.

It's a fucking series.

With fictional characters.

Played by actors.

And all the special effects are done by the crew.

But some people can't seem to grasp that.

I refuse to entangle myself back in that sticky little web and I would rather watch it burn itself out. I would prefer to see it go up in flames as it gets rejected by the fandoms it tries to infect, JUST because it is politely disagreed with.

Because it doesn't leave people alone after being told no or receiving the sense that, maybe, a person is uncomfortable.

Chapter 21/? Nosebleed

Remember how in canon Steve said to Jonathan during their fight "You know what, Byers? I’m actually kind of impressed. I always took you for a queer", aiming at insulting him?

I took Jonathan out of this equation, but kept the season 1 Steve vibe.

Party music:

Twisted Sister "We're not gonna take it" (1984)

Twisted Sister "I wanna rock" (1984)

Dead or Alive "You spin me round" (1985)

Robin Gibb "Boys do fall in love" (1984)

Billy's music:

Scorpions"Dynamite" (1982)

Van Halen "Sinner's Swing" (1981)

Mötley Crüe "Live wire" (1982)

The last day of March which is also Sunday, right before the beginning of the last school term in the quiet respectable town of Hawkins, is marked by a celebration. While Hawkins housewives have already started compiling lists of the ingredients necessary to make all the dishes for the upcoming festive family dinner next Easter Sunday, Tina and her gang have been preparing a party. Flyers have been printed out and delivered through friends, phonecalls have been made, the grapevine has been set in motion. Booze has been bought and a keg has been secured. Hawkins teens are eager to have one more party cause soon life's going to be so different, people are adjusting to the idea of having to let go of so many habitual things, and plenty of them aren't ready. Even those who are excited about their future. Especially those who are still very vague on the subject.

In such circumstances, it is never a bad idea

To paint the town red.

***

Technically the party is happening on Palm Sunday cause it's the last day of the spring break, those kids who went away have returned home, so practically everyone's expected to show up, and there is no sense in postponing the fun till actual Easter.

However, keeping the general Easter spirit is important.

Girls are encouraged to wear bunny outfits, at least a set of ears and a puffy ball of a tail are a must. Tina's wearing it all herself, and looks great. Andy is all over his girlfriend.

Hargrove is late as usual, that's not in his character to arrive at a soirée early. He's wearing tight jeans, a dark forest green button down, and he knows how he looks.

Stayed in his room for almost an hour glued to the mirror, considering ignoring the party altogether and just whacking off to his own reflection.

Loud music is screaming out of large wide open windows and the front door that welcomes everyone.

Mischief and rebellion are in the air tonight. Feels explosive, like there's a smell of gunpowder.

Oh we're not gonna take it!

No, we ain't gonna take it!

Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

The night is noisy, the space is packed and charged with young energy.

We've got the right to choose, and

There ain't no way we'll lose it

This is our life, this is our song

Oh we're not gonna take it!

No, we ain't gonna take it!

Billy stops in the kitchen first to take a can of beer. Roy is shouting, as always reigning over a bowl of red punch on the kitchen counter

"Pure blood! Pure blood!"

Hargrove can't help but curve his lips in a wry smile. What is the guy's deal, really, what's with the punch names. He's throwing his arm around Roy's shoulders

"Hey Dunston! I say, we drink flaming cocktails with you tonight, or what?"

Roy is muttering something like, in fact, he has read some information on the matter and there is a bottle of rum somewhere in the cupboards and ..

Billy smacks him on the forearm

"Later, man." He needs to go see if King Steve has made it to the party.

On the way out of the kitchen he notices that there is a keg standing in the corner, waiting for its turn.

Another hit by "Twisted Sister" comes up, and Billy can feel the rhythm running through his veins

I wanna rock! Rock!

I wanna rock! Rock!

I want to rock! Rock!

The Raven ball

Fandom: Wednesday (Netflix series)

Ship: Wenclair

Tags: friends (?) To lovers, fluff w/ slight angst, happy ending, Enid have a lesbian attack at the sight of Wednesday, jealous Enid

Summary: while thing forces Wednesday to take Tyler to the Raven ball to socialize, Enid thinks otherwise

Word count: 1316

A/n: I love this show sm, I swear if Netflix is queer baiting us which they probably are I'm emailing them a strongly worded complaint. Also some scenes in this fic obviously don't line up to the episode

Wednesday opened the door to reveal Tyler at her dorm. He held Flowers with a bright smile "I got the note you sent me" what note? "honestly it shocked me how endearing and sweet it was" "yes. It shocked me to. One moment please" she closed the door and glared at Thing "How could you make him think I could write something endearing and....sweet" she looked through her closet. Maybe I could try faking my death, it's not like it's something I haven't done before. Thing snapped his fingers to get Wednesdays attention. She turned to the black dress from the antique store "how'd you afford that?" Thing sighed to her in response. "Hm"

Her roommate Wednesday walking down the stairs, looking more beautiful then she'd ever realize. Enid thought Wednesday was quite attractive when they first meet but now seeing her here confirmed something Enid was contemplating since the two girls first meet:

Enid looked around for her date. He'd left just mere seconds ago! Where'd he gone? She heard whispers and awes of someone who had just entered the ball. She'd looked to see-

Enid took interest in Wednesday. She didn't know how she hadn't realized it before. Then again the way she felt with Wednesday was different from her other romantic interest. Ajax was attractive yes, but he didn't have that dark allure that Her roommate had. This attraction was stronger but hidden in the back of Enids mind. Like when the two were up on the balcony she had felt a certain way. Back then she thought the attraction was what all girls felt.

Sadly that awe came to an end when she noticed Tyler accompanying her. What the hell was he doing here? She thought Wednesday was stubborn on not having a relationship, she'd mention it to Enid one time how she loathed even the slight possibility of her having a partner so why was HE here with her? Enid realized she was getting frustrated and tried calming herself down. She walked over to them with a bright smile "Wednesday! I never thought you'd be here. What was the change of heart?"

"Believe me I didn't come here by will, if I did it would be a sign I've truly gone insane. Though I'm not surprised you're here" Wednesday eyed her in suspicion "I thought that gorgen dumped you. Who's your date? Or are you alone? Now that'd be the real surprise" Enid felt slightly hurt at Wednesday implying she'd gone to the dance alone. But brushed it off "oh he's around here somewhere"

Enid looked desperately In the crowd to find him, though a part of her hoped she didn't. Wednesday raised an eyebrow "is he invisible? How inconvenient, be harder to kill him if he breaks your heart" Enids felt attracted at the thought of Wednesday killing someone over her, even as morbid as it was. "Oh no no! He just went somewhere... probably taking a bathroom break" Wednesday replied with a "hm" and went to find Tyler. Enid walked to the punch bowl and drank 3 cups of punch. Hating the thought of Wednesday being with that normie. She watched as she saw Wednesday bumping into Xavier. After awhile she walked out to the sitting room.

"Xavier told me what you did" Tyler looked to Wednesday sitting next to him. He sighed "look Wednesday I wish I could lie my way out of this and tell you a reason why I did but to be honest, I can't. I don't know why I did it but after I realized how awful it was I felt terrible"

"Do you really think I'd stopped liking you for a lousy prank? The way Xavier told me about I would've done worse" Tyler smiled. "I knew I liked you for a reason" Oh. We're the feelings mutual? Wednesday didn't know. She thought over it. She somewhat tolerated his presence around her, and did he make a damn good cup of coffee, but Did she like Tyler? In that way? People confused her. How should she put it to him.

"I don't believe the feelings mutual" Wednesday deadpanned. Tyler turned towards her "huh?"

"Not in that way, I don't find interest in you in a romantic Sense but I do somewhat tolerate your presence" Tyler translated what she said to himself then repeated it back to her "so you're saying you don't want to date me but you more see me as a friend? Did I hit the mark?"

"Not exactly. I don't have friends but enemies and people I've decided not to poison in Thier sleep. Also I have a confession to make" Tyler snorted "And what's that?"

"I didn't write that note to you. Thing did, he was forcing me to socialize and thought you'd be the perfect date. He was sorely mistaken"

"Yeah I had a feeling someone else wrote it. Too sweet to be written from you. You'd rather be caught dead then doing that"

"Agreed" a pause. "So who is it?" Wednesday was confused though her face didn't show it "who's what?"

"The person you're interested in instead of me?"

"Do I really have to be romanticly interested in someone else if I'm not with you? Like I told myself in the beginning of my time here; I will not become my mother and find my "one true love" why is it a need for girls to find a romantic partner?" Tyler quickly defend himself "sorry that's not what I meant, you're right I shouldn't assume" The silence thickened between the two. "Though I'm might be contradicting myself, there might be ..... someone"

"Who?"

"Not telling you, but I do have some business to take care of with this person" Wednesday stood up ready to walk back into the ball. "Is it-" Tyler was going to ask if it was a certain boy but she interrupted him "it's not Xavier if that's what you're thinking" she walked out of the sitting room into the flashing light filled dance.

Enid accepted that her date completely dipped on her and wasn't coming back. She sighed, frustrated at the predicament. She watched as the rest of the school danced with each other as she sat at one of the tables. Enid took a sip of her drink.

"Enid" she nearly choked as the girl in black appeared out of nowhere. Putting her drink down Enid stood with Wednesday "Jesus Wednesday! You have a nact for appearing from nowhere"

"It's a hobby" Wednesday deadpanned. "I have something to tell you" "what? You killed your date already?" Enid joked.

"Don't change the subject" something told Enid this was serious and not Wednesdays usual morbid sarcasm. Enid leaned closer "so what is it?"

"I don't know what you did but you've done something. Maybe it's some form of dark arts you've casted on me"

"Huh?" Wednesday furrowed her eyebrows in irritation. "I'm trying to tell you I tolerate you a lot more than everyone else. It's probably because I've spent so much time in that dorm with you I've formed Stockholm syndrome" Enid realized what Wednesday was trying to say and smiled. "Wednesday are you trying to say you like me?"

The girl in black avoided her question and said instead "will you have this dance with me" Enid squealed and threw her self on Wednesday "oh yes! Yes I will!" Wednesday tensed up at the physical touch. "Sorry forgot you're not a hugger" Enid tried pulling away but Wednesday slowly (and awkwardly) wrapped her arms around Enid. Holy shit. Wednesday was hugging Enid. It somewhat surprised dark haired girl herself. Wednesday promised she wouldn't end up like her mother and fall for someone. Damn her mother for being right.

Not to get on the Disc Horse™ or anything but there is a difference between someone mearly being uncomfortable with a topic, someone metaphorically shitting in the punch bowl, and someone voicing genuine concerns over p3dophilic/abusive content. Pro-shippers really blurred the lines in recent years.

It’s why I hate the term “puriteen” so so sooo much. Like. Oh no! A teenager is being uncomfortable with flagrant sexualization! Better call them a puritan, because that’s totaly the same thing!

Assflash, newshole. They’re not. And this is coming from someone who is pro-kink at pride. Because you can’t erase history, queer people had their sexuality demonized and made taboo. And look, I get it. Sometimes sexual stuff makes people uncomfy. Obviously that doesn’t mean you should go and harass that person, just let ‘em be. At the end of the day, you pick what you want to see online.

...The more I mull this over, the more I realize that maybe the whole “Kids invading adult spaces to be snot-nosed brats” phenomena is nothing but an ruse made by people who really want to justify cranking their hog/polishing their pearl to child sex abuse content.

I swear, pro-shippers are some the worst people on the planet.

RWRB Prompt: Henry introduces Alex to Lord John Marbury. Alex is NOT prepared for this.

"Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz!"

Is what Alex hears before he is suddenly grabbed and spun and hugged by someone with a particularly bony ribcage and a pair of reading glasses on a chain that digs into Alex's collarbone.

"Uh--" is as far as Alex gets before he is thrust backwards with the sort of velocity of the most terrifying of Texas grandmothers (he has two; he is very intelligent on this subject) and finds himself a gangly arms' length from a man in a royal-conservative pinstriped suit, a red (no pattern) tie, and a white shirt that has a line of spatter down the front that Alex clocks as tea, not coffee because he is now very familiar with the way tea stains a white shirt due to Henry being Henry.

"Hi," Alex says. Staring at the man who also has the grip of terrifying Texas grandmothers and is smiling at him like a favored child.

Except Alex doesn't know who the fuck this guy is.

"Um," Alex says, trying to stop himself from saying exactly that. "Who the fuck are you?"

(He's gonna wake up tomorrow to Zhara leaning over his bed holding his kneecaps in one hand.)

The man throws back his head and laughs. He has a very long neck and a lot of hair that seems to like to move every which way as he moves, and when he meets Alex's eyes again, there's a downright twinkle and warmth in them that Alex recognizes immediately.

"Lord John Marbury," the man says, finally releasing Alex's shoulders to give a little bow. "At your service, Sir."

"Oh holy shit," Alex says in a rush.

Lord John Marbury grins wickedly and looks around Alex. "And where is my beloved baby cousin?"

"Punch bowl," Alex says, waving behind him, unable to look away now that he knows who he's looking at. Henry's cousin. Lord John Marbury. Who's been an Ambassador in several countries and loudly queer the whole time. And who is sporting a full beard which makes him look completely different and is NOT in any of the photos Henry's ever shown Alex.

"Lovely!" Lord John Marbury says and saunters away, slapping Alex on the back hard enough he actually stumbles a little.

Alex straightens and runs his hands down his jacket to smooth any wrinkles as he gets his bearings again. His brain short circuits when another man comes walking towards him. White-haired instead of dark-haired like he was in his younger days (Alex definitely hasn't looked up old photos for most of his fucking life), but still moving like he's about to start a fight.

"Mr. Claremont-Diaz," the man greets, holding out his hand. "Joshua Lyman. Did I just see my husband accost you?"

"Uh-huh," Alex manages, shaking Josh Lyman's hand on reflex. "I didn't know you two were on the invite list for this party."

"We weren't sure we'd make it back from Hong Kong in time," Josh says. "Which way did he--"

"HENRY!" comes a roar that works through the crowd with ease.

"COUSIN JOHN!" Henry replies, just as loudly, and this time Alex stumbles because who is THIS Henry so excited he's dropped every manner he has?

"Lead the way?" Josh Lyman asks.

"Sure," Alex says. "And call me Alex. I know these royal-types gets stuffy about titles, but I'm just a Texas kid."

Josh Lyman laughs and gives Alex a knowing look. "Right," he says, "And I've got a bridge to sell you."

Alex chuckles and leads the way through the crowd to help his fellow American collect his own Brit.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I was tagged by @peridotglimmer and this was one I haven't done before!

Rules: List ten books that have stayed with you in some way, don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard - they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you.

A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer - I cannot express enough how obsessed I was with this book. I first read it when I was six which is probably too young but I would read it two or three times a year until I was sixteen. I adored the mythology, the Odyssey-like story, and the main character Nhamo. I admired her determination and her resourcefulness and how she questioned the authorities around her. Nhamo was my hero as a child.

Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff - This book and a couple others on this list have a brilliant way of slowly unfolding the trauma, aftermath, and information about a defining event in the life of the main character. I adored the use of Hollis' art to tell the story, and it just sank into my bones and didn't leave.

Saffy's Angel by Hilary McKay - this book was so funny to me, and I wished I had a family of such colorful characters who were offbeat but supportive. The idea that you will not get the answers you seek and must define for yourself who you are and where you belong resonated with me.

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie - the first Christie book I ever read, it hooked me and I fell deeply in love. I haven't recovered since. I started devouring murder mystery books after this but Christie was always my favorite.

World War Z by Max Brooks - anyone who's read my Buddie Zombie AU or has read the stuff about my Horsemen Quartet on Patreon will not be surprised, but this book blew the door wide open for me on zombies and the zombie apocalypse.

Maus by Art Spiegalman - I read this in high school, assigned by a teacher. Not officially assigned, it wasn't on the coursework, but she told us to read it anyway. That book taught me... not everything, because there's still so much learning and growing I've done since then, but some days, it does feel like everything.

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison - I read this in college and I don't know how to describe the emotions I felt other than "I was too haunted to even cry."

Out of the Dust by Karen Hess - This story is written as a collection of poems, and its bare bones, punch-in-the-throat prose stuck with me. The unflinching look at guilt and what life was like in the Dust Bowl in the 1930s was powerful, and in retrospect it's one of the few books that had a disabled protagonist that I think handled it really well - the anger, the frustration, the pain - without making it inspiration porn.

Define "Normal" by Julie Ann Peters - I learned only a couple years ago that Peters is gay, which probably explains why I could not put this book down as a teenager who knew something was different about her but was too scared to examine it closely enough to define it. The friendship between the two girls had a lot of queer undertones, in retrospect, and I think that's a big part of what led me to read this book until it fell apart.

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson - this was a book I snatched up from a relative's house and read when I was... thirteen? something like that. This was the book that taught me what nonfiction could do - just how entertaining and engrossing it could be, and that nonfiction was just as stimulating and fascinating as fiction. Certain passages are still burned into my brain.

Tagging @mistmarauder @captainofthefallen @givemeunicorns @extasiswings @catdadeddie @evcndiaz @qqueenofhades @oldshrewsburyian @devilsbrokerank @tulipfromtheinternet and @tripleaxeldiaz because I am deeply curious to know all of your books.

This is going to be so all over the place I'm so sorry. I still can't organise my thoughts, I don't know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't THAT. But this song was SO good I still haven't recovered from it. Park Jimin really did that. First of all, I want to talk about the choir because we always talk about the choir because the choir fucking ATE this song up oh my god. Now I want them on every Jimin song. And the dancers?? They were amazing too. The way Jimin walked in front of them was so powerful. I loved all of the formations and I have to admit at first I thought they were forming a 9 and I was like wtf is a 9, what does that represent 😂 I have seen someone say it's a fibonacci spiral, or a cyclone which symbolises Jimin's inner struggle, or the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly and I am loving all of them. The butterfly dance ATE TOO?? I am so in love with that move he's so sexy, so hot, he delivered so well. And his dancers are so pretty too like everything about this mv is chef's kiss. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HIS JACKET EXPOSING HIS SHOULDER AGAIN 🥵🥵 and he really said he has no problem getting naked for us AND THEN DID THAT. Imagine how much more gagged we would've been if h̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶h̶̶̶a̶̶̶d̶̶̶ ̶̶̶n̶̶̶i̶̶̶p̶̶̶p̶̶̶l̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶p̶̶̶i̶̶̶e̶̶̶r̶̶̶c̶̶̶i̶̶̶n̶̶̶g̶̶̶s̶̶̶ akanfndkanans ALSO HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE THE WAY HIS HAIR WAS STYLED I WANT TO KISS HIS STYLIST. One of my absolute favorite shots is at the end when he's inside the circle and they spin the camera around just before they lift him up. And all you can see is him in the middle and the dancers' arms and Idk but it's just such a beautiful shot of him. And god when the dancers lift him up AND HE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, HIS FACE??? SO BEAUTIFUL and then they start to GRAB FOR HIM and basically make him collapse on top of them??? THAT'S REAL CINEMA.  -🦋

under read more hehe <3

(part 2 so you can put this under read more because i can't shut up again 😭) Omg and can we talk about his singing and rapping? I mean we really got everything, we got lower register Jimin, we got Jimin singing high as a fucking skyscraper 😩 he did it for us 😞✋ And the way he jumps from very low to very high? It's soo good. Don't even get me started on him swearing 🥵🥵 "Look at me now, I won't hide anymore even if it hurts" & "Look at me now, I won't stop even if they mock me" with the dancers pointing at him UGH. Letting go of his past self, moving past all the hateful comments he got over the years. "raise your hand for the past me, now set me free" I feel like I got punched in the chest. And he talked about this before!! Of letting go of his past 'macho/manly' self and that he could finally just be comfortable with who he is.. And then his photofolio happened... And now set me free. Very queer coded.

Okay and can we also talk about how they do the exact same lift in Lie and we go from "I can't be free from this lie / pull me from this hell, I can't be free from this pain" to SMF "I never stop, fuck all your opps, finally free / I won't hide anymore even if it hurts / raise your hands for the past me, now set me free" I LOVE his journey.

So now that we finally have one of his songs out and I kind of calmed down a little, I'm already thinking about the rest of the songs. He hinted (like literally pointed at it) that the little aquarium bowl he was decorating in his wlive is also a hint / spoiler for the album. So I'm thinking it has to do with the other mv. Water is also a hint from the very first teaser. Please if they put him in a serendipity bubble again, I will combust on the spot. Also I was listening to the snippet again and he's definitely singing "fucking nowhere" and I think that song is Alone which means it will definitely fuck me up 😣 And didn't Jimin say his album is a story like Hobi and Namjoon's was? SMF is the last track if we don't count Like Crazy's eng version, which means him breaking out and finally being free is the end of his journey (for now). And he also said his album was influenced by his emotions and thoughts during the pandemic (like Namseok) so naturally I'm like wtf and fearing for my life because of all the tracks that come before we reach SMF's conclusion.

And on top of all that, we are already getting Like Crazy's poster in 2 days 😩 No rest for us. I'm very curious what your thoughts are, after a few hours 👀 (sorry for the long ask again 😭)  -🦋

anon it's been more than a day and i STILL can't organise my thoughts. im just there on twitter seeing tweets made by big brained ppl and I'm like, "holy shit! yeah makes sense!". I wasn't expecting the song to go that hard either 😭 it surpassed ALL my expectations it is so goddamn good. The chorus is soooooo goddamn addictive and the beginning of the song is such that it'll keep you hooked to listen to more. It is such a powerful and intriguing start. The horror like sound makes my brain freeze whenever i listen to it and then when the beat starts after the "ey" it feels like i just gained a shit load of power inside of me. AND HOLD ON ILL GET TO THE CHOIR. Jimin's voice. dear fucking god. The layers, the textures of his voice in the song. He's trying so many different things artistically and musically and it makes me so so happy. His growth has been so so insane. His range in music is so immaculate. He doesn't stick to one genre and I love that about him. AND NOW the choir. Whoever came up with the idea of adding the choir vocals to the song you are a fucking genius. They were so fucking amazing. The oh-eh-oh after the second verse when the mv had a close up of jimin and then it zooms out to the camera going in circles and the dancers circling jimin and dancing, that's my most most most favourite part of the mv. It's so fucking powerful i cannot even begin to explain what it makes me feel. And you know what, just imagine armys singing along to the choice when jimin sings "set me free" . LITERAL CHILLS. IMAGINE A STADIUM OF 50K PPL SINGING THAT WHILE JIMIN DANCES. oh i would sell a lung to witness that. the choreography the formations everything about it is so fucking genius sienna is such a talented choreographer she never never disappoints 😭 the dancers fucking ate my god all of them make this song so grand along with jimin. i literally consider myself so lucky to be in this fandom and witness this. AND THE SHOULDER JACKET THING PLS. I'm totally considering going back to my old url flipthatjacketjiminie 😭😭😭😭😭 pls omg you will not believe this but i literally thought the same on my 10th watch of the mv that what if he had nipple piercings hahahahahahahahahah rip army then ig 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh oh oh and i just saw you mentioned that same shot as well where the dancers circle around him. TRUUUUULY THIS MV WAS CINEMA. and yep when they lift him up, jimin's expressions are so vulnerable for a while like he was so determined and strong and aggressive throughout the entire song but when they lift him up his expression softens and changes into something vulnerable and even his voice singing "set me free" mellows down a little as if it's coming from far away. god it made me feel so many things.

and omg yeah his voice 😭 it's everything. again like the way he's experimenting with his voice so confidently is mind blowing i love it so much. AND OH MY GOD THE SWEARING I DID NOT EXPECT THAT. is this the same man who goes "blublublublu" when a song that he plays on live has a cuss word?????? AND HE CUSSED NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE. LIKE HELL YEAH YOU TELL THEM OFF BABY. Oh also I read this in some tweet I'm sure because my brain isn't big enough to come up with this, but it said that interlude: set me free was like a plea to be set free but set me free pt. 2 was demanding the freedom. it blew my mind away fr 😭 and omg yeah that interview!!!!!!! the song took me back to that as well 😭😭😭😭 I'm so fucking proud of him you know? the way he has come to accept himself and love himself the way he is. the GROWTH. I'm so proud of him. AND YES TO THE QUEER CODED. this tweet made me so 🥺🥺🥺🥺

GOD YES THE LIE REFERENCE. the growth truly 😭 he's no longer trapped in lies. he's no longer in need of saving. he's demanding his freedom. not asking for it. he's letting go of the past and is being reborn into his truer self. and all of this happens when the music sounds so fucking cathartic. set me free pt. 2 is a real masterpiece through and through. and this is just the pre-release.

Yes me too. But i saw people who visited the Jimmy fallon prerecording say that they heard a snippet of like crazy and it was really amazing 😭😭😭 so I'm super excited again now i can't wait for Friday. I literally cannot believe I'm gonna have a jimin album in less than a week. And yes pls omg the bowl and the water..... my brain still hasn't moved on from thinking about jimin dancing in water/rain ok. I'm still stuck there. And yep i can hear "fucking nowhere" too but a lot of people can hear other things too 😭 alone will most definitely fuck me up I'm sure of that. Oh yeah he did say that!!!! which means the other songs are gonna be darker than smf 😭 we gonna get fuuuuucked up 😭😭😭 and god yeah pls I'm loving the content and everything jimin has such a packed promotion schedule 😭😭😭 the music shows and variety shows and everything oh we're gonna absolutely FEAST 🍽️ and again, don't apologise hehe it was fun answering<3 it just takes me a little time to answer bc i literally have no time these days between work and I'm so tired after work 💀 so answering long asks is a little overwhelming but also fun. I'm glad I can talk to you about all this hehe <33
