some aftg characters as underscores lyrics cause I’m bored

anywho

Kevin: “I am 100 percent 50/50, I optimize all my opinions”

Neil: “Dance around the subject 'til my legs hurt”

Andrew: “The colorful plastic that you put on the end of your line, was it really alive”

Allison: “After seven long years, she saw streaks in her makeup”

Riko: “I'm a spoiled little brat and I get what I want”

Nicky: “And when you meet with that God of yours/ I hope you see the light”

Kevin (he gets two): “Worldwide superstar, running out of mileage/ Can't sleep, 2 a.m., I don't really mind it”

Jean: “I cleared my name in just six easy payments/ But there’s more to my end of the bargain”

Cat: “Black Docs, white socks, 2014 cliché/ I'm bored, aux cord, let me be the DJ”

Renee: “Send my love to the girls/ I've always had it in spades/ You won't get away with this”

She's only fifteen inches tall She couldn't scare a fly off a wall

[arklypurple]

and when you're done with that song of yours i'd like to sing you mine

and when you meet with that god of yours i hope you see the light

must've forgotten those those dogs of yours i've seen them walking round

and did you drop off that mom of yours or is she still in the house

"Seventyseven dog years", underscores

[trannywithagodcomplex]

This song is criminally good

[scarletdarkmagic]

theory/analysis: ashley (cctv pov) is the northwest zombie girl

copypasted from my initial post in the underscord #lore-corkboard channel. content warning for brief mentions of suicide ig???? also this will NOT make ANY sense to 99% of my followers bc they dont listen to underscores💔

the soundcloud description to northwest zombie girl reads as follows:

Deleted scene — Character: Old money bitch

Upon reading of a girl from the Northwest’s chemically-induced emotional transformation, Old money bitch begins to yearn for something similar.

and cctv:

Prologue — Character(s): Ashley

The late daughter of Secretariat founder Jerry Bowman recounts the last week of her life from beyond the grave.

the lineup of the songs seventyseven dog years (mara & s*nny interacting for the first time) & uncanny long arms (mara realizing her actions towards s*nny now have consequences) in the base album, gives the metaphor of uncanny long arms syndrome = metaphor for the "reach" somebody has on anothers life, & maras near death experience during the reduction surgery being/causing the epiphany. since ashleys the daughter of secretariats founder, her bloodline has reach on the entire town as opposed to just one person. following this logic, "chemically induced emotional transformation" could refer to ashley committing suicide to try & be at peace.

uncanny long arms soundcloud description:

Mara wakes up and finds her arms are longer than usual. Upon getting her arms reduced, she has an epiphany.

lyric taken from cctv:

I'm sorry you had to find me like that, in that sorry state

samantha (old money bitch name, confirmed in the lyrics of my guy) is shown to have suicidal thoughts as expressed on tracks like horror movie soundtrack & good luck final girl, & cctv heavily alludes to ashleys suicide. samantha is also shown to be ashamed of her familys wealth & actively try to distance herself from it on both old money bitch (song) & northwest zombie girl. its not hard to imagine ashley would feel this way too but to a heavier extent, described as growing a whole new limb rather than just existing ones elongating from ula, resulting in said suicide.

lyrics from good luck final girl:

I'm postponing my suicide indefinitely

lyrics from northwest zombie girl:

I cleared my name in just six easy payments

But there's more to my end of the bargain

I'm of a people who hoard what they've taken

How do I end what someone else started?

lyrics from cctv:

Focus has shifted, I grew a new appendage

Everyone thinks I'm overreacting

Oh, I'm beyond all recognition

my theory? ashley is the "northwest zombie girl" that samantha is envious over. the song is sung from samanthas perspecrive, but the subject in question is ashley.

underscores - Wallsocket (2023)

A great album! Feels really personal from the songwriter and has songs about trans issues, social constructs, grooming, parasocial interactions and stalking. Really glad there's an album like this out and I want to check out the ARG connected to this and the other stuff they've released. Favorite Tracks: Cops and robbers, Locals (girls like us), Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, You dont even know who I am, Johnny johnny johnny, Shoot to kill kill your darlings, Geez louise with henhouse, Seventyseven dog years, Good luck final girl

[catty-words]

i was tagged by @hiriahb (hiii 👋) !

Last Song You Listened To: it's full-time wallsocket (2023) hours over here, and i most recently paused at the end of "seventyseven dog years". a very good track!!

Currently Watching: i'm in the middle of a veronica mars rewatch, though not a full one. i'd debated to even include season two and ultimately decided i would, but season three can suck it.

Current Obsession: well. underscores.

[bowsersforeskin]

Now that its been a full month since the release of Wallsocket, how have your opinions started settle around the album? The more Ive listened, its grown on me a ton personally. Now its in my top 10 albums of the year.

this got long so here's a readmore.

TL;DR i want to put wallsocket in my mouth and chew on it forever

the same thing happened to me tbh, it's grown on me more and more as i relistened to it. wallsocket is defo in my top 5 albums this year.

it's not like i actively disliked it or anything, it's just that it went from "pretty good" to "one of the best albums of 2023" yakno?

like my only real criticism of it is that underscores' dedication to making basically every track over 4 minutes meant that there were a couple that felt bogged down to me.

that being said, there is way more to love about wallsocket than there is to complain about. there were a few tracks that i wasn't enthralled with on the first listen that i'm super in love with now (duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and uncanny long arms come to mind)

but GOD is underscores good at making a melody that sticks with you forever. a month later and i still catch myself going "johnny johnny johnny johnny whoops johnny whoops" out loud and humming the tune from shoot to kill, kill your darlings.

i really really love this new direction. i love the moments in wallsocket that call back to her earlier works (like the ending bit in uncanny long arms), i love hearing borderline jarring transitions to stomp-and-clap country (thinking mostly about that switch in geez louise! good god do i love that moment) i love how difficult wallsocket is to define and how it's clearly still underscores, but not at all what i would have imagined from her.

oh and the samples that are being used are BANGING i love hearing gun noises being used as percussion, i'm almost certain i heard a squidward noise in there, and the "good luck!" producer stamp is utilized SO well across the album.

also it's underscores, i feel like it goes without saying that the story telling is great. she's stepped it up a notch and i hella regret not following the arg, but that's life ig 🤷

my top track is definitely seventyseven dog years, maybe it's because it made me feel seen. i won't get into it because it's a long thing but it really reminds me of my relationship with a couple family members and also just sounds really good!

i like every track, but i think the highlights for me* are: shoot to kill,kill your darlings/horror movie soundtrack, geez louise, and seventyseven dog years.

*i'm excluding the singles because they all slap. no exceptions. i know that they're gonna make it into my spotify wrapped lmao but good lird old money bitch and girls like us make me act up.

uhh idk where else to put this but i mentioned earlier that i wanted to see how you don't even know who i am fit in to the album, and i'm really glad to see that it fits in seamlessly with the rest of wallsocket.

i really liked it, and tbqh i'm still hoping that she'll release a companion piece a la boneyard.

sorry i took a couple days to reply, as you can tell i have a lot of thoughts about underscores and wallsocket and noises and sounds.

[prompt-master]

If you love yourself you'll listen to seventyseven dog years by underscores (and also every single song made by her ever)
