#she's such a tragic character that way likeeeee

[jewishcissiekj]

I'm this close to fucking losing it

something very tragic about the way Asajj can never go home/back to the places and people she was in and with but will always carry with her the pain feelings and memories of these places/people/situations and the consequences and marks they left on her

hello sweet ariel,

do you have any playlists for your self ships? if you do, are there any artists you keep coming back to for each of them? what are your top three songs for mermaidghost and jariel?

xoxo sunnie (@fic-over-cannon)

hiiii sunnie angel!!! i'm so sorry it took me so long to answer this uni has been after my ass :(( hope you've been doing okay <333

yessss i do have playlists for my self ships!!! the jariel one is much much much more prominent than my other ones and i've only recently made my mermaidghost one but!!! they're literally everything to me!!!

there are some artists that are basically tone setters for the ships. for jariel it's taylor swift (act shocked everyone), technically her music is so versatile and explores so many themes that it's is in literally all my playlists but. i dedicate almost all her songs (especially the reputation and lover album) to jason. i think just outside of selfshipping i relate to a lot of her lyrics and i find that a lot of them could apply to jason too. likeeeee listen to the evermore album and tell me you don't think of him. literally. also she's just my favourite artist and white woman of all time, jason is my favourite fic character and white man of all time, the correlation is obvious. another artist i think makes peak jariel songs is sabrina carpenter. idk something about them blue eyed blondies and their love songs just tick all the jariel criteria.

i'm gonna cheat a little bit and give you my top 3 taylor jariel songs, then some random songs.

for taylor:

this is not just my favourite taylor song but also just my favourite song ever ever ever ever. i could go on and on about how important to me and artistically perfect it is but to to keep it short it literally embodies the very essence of jariel. it just paints a sweet and beautiful picture of love all while still being self aware of your character and how secure you feel in this relationship that you don't care what anyone has to say about it. the way the melody just blends so well with the lyrics and makes the meaning stand out even more. it's just such a comfort song that i dedicate to jason because he's my everything <3

this song is pretty self explanatory. like. idk you can just listen to it and figure out why it's so jariel. we just started it off with pissing each other so much but in reality we were just fighting the underlying feelings we had for each other. and it's infuriating. the bridge was literally inspired by us i know it taylor told me.

this song takes a deeper dive on the struggles we both went through before finally making it out and realizing that maybe we should give this a chance lol (we were meant to be together). this song is literally gorjus and it kind of describes our headspace and entourage instead of just focusing on our little selves.

for others i'd pick:

• feels like by gracie abrams

• bed chem by sabrina carpenter

• like lovers do by hey violet

• nonsense by sabrina carpenter

• margaret by lana del rey

• safe and sound tv by taylor swift

• the louvre by lorde

• thoroughfare by ethel cain

now for mermaidghost, i've only recently got into my simon brainrot but i've slowly started fleshing it out and!!! thanks to aurore i figured out that the artist who describes us the best is lana del rey. like i mean she's queen of singing about older men and their controversially young girlfriend so. everytime i think of simon while listening to her music i get so 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 another artist i think embodies us so so well is gracie abrams. another case of sad girl music because him and i are tragic in that way </3

so for lana we have:

it's always her unreleased songs.... self explanatory. like sorry but going around all grumpy and broody isn't gonna get me off your back love <333 if being aggressive is his go to attitude then let's do it baby You're Just Turning Me On.

this was suggested by aurore as part of our stripper au but even outside of that it's just so.... us... like i'm literally his midnight answer. he goes wandering around all day but the moment it gets dark everyone knows where he'll be (in my bed). also i just think he'd always have to sit through my dancing sessions so.

i giggled a little bit when i thought of this because he's a british army man so naturally overboard patriotic but. baby that's not gonna work with me <333 i'm your home country now pledge allegiance to me.

and for others i'd pick:

• i know it won't work/full machine/us. all by gracie abrams

• dial drunk by noah kahan

• how did it end? by taylor swift

• don't tell me i'm pretty by faouzia

• loml by taylor swift

• get him back! by olivia rodrigo (great contrast to the jariel one lol)

• miss me too by griff

• casual by chappell roan

funny little thing but there’s this unreleased gracie abrams song called tuesday/denial which is soooo mermaidghost but she changed the lyrics then released the official one titled let it happen and it’s very jariel coded… i just thought it was super funny lol

this was so long and i went so overboard with it i'm so sorry omfg 😭😭😭 this was such a good question and it combined two of my favourite things in the whole world couldn't just settle for 3 songs each... anyway as always sunnie you're amazing i'm sending you loads of kisses mwaaaah

i have to calm down bro its not that deep

i was nawt expecting to get so stupid emotional over lisa and taffy's rltshp getting into lisa frankenstein i feelso fucking stupid . i cant even form coherent thoughts rn

taffy being introduced as a shallow self centered cheerleader stepsister but pretty early on you can tell that she genuinely does care about lisa even though she unintentionally comes off as passive aggressive or her way of trying to connect with her sister and trying to help her is a little misguided LIKEEEEE ..............

i was kind of worried about the whole both liking the same guy thing but like ghorhgofghdfoghd idk really liked how that whole thing played out and it leading to their final goodbye scene between the sisters like godgoisdjgoisjdgkgjsdkjgksdjgskldlskd and they could have easily spin this as taffy being secretly cruel this whole time in a shock reveal that the bitchy stepsister is stealing the protagonist's crush but it didnt go that direction and it rly does make sense for taffy's character because, she likes the same guy as her sister, that can happen, theyre teenagers, but she doesnt want lisa to hate her !! taffy has gone through so much effort to build a connection with her stepsister !! and maybe she shouldnt have hid that secret from lisa but its just normal teenager mistakes ............

which is why like im soSOOO distraught over like their final scene together where lisa finally acknowledges taffy after the initial anger because she realizes that taffy had always been her biggest supporter . like it just hurts so bad because their relationship could have been good but it was broken before it could really begin and all taffy had left of lisa was the necklace she gave her . LIKE IT REALLY HAD TO END THIS WAY AFTER THE MURDER AND SHIT LIKE GODDAMMITTTT GODDAMMMITTTT THIS SHIT HURT WORSE THAN THE EDWARD SCISSORHANDS ENDING I SWEAR TO GODDDD

(and before anyone takes it that lisa doesnt love taffy back, she DOESSSS, more than she realizes before this moment. the way that lisa would bring up "taffy says you shouldnt try to fix boys" unprompted, how she protested against wearing taffy's dress at first because its hers, etc, like she does have her sister in mind, but her own trauma and hangups and bad rltshp with the stepmom held her back from opening up to taffy LIKEEE!?!?!? AND NOW THEY CANT EVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THEIR RLTSHP AGAIN THATS WHATS SO TRAGIC TO ME IT HURTS SO BAD!!!!!!!!

I DONT KNOOOOW I JUST HAD TO SPILL MY THOUGHTS OUT BECAUSE I LOOOOVE CHARACTERS LIKE TAFFY (shallow self-centered spoiled girl who is actually well meaning and whose good intentions end up hurting more than helping . coughs in apple white eah and siobhan from wendell and wild) AND FOR A LIGHTHEARTED ROMPY CAMPY CRINGY HORROR ROMCOMEDY WITH GOOFY CHARACTERS I WAS ACTUALLY SO DEVASTATED OVER LISA AND TAFFY AND THEIR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FEELS SO EARNED. I CANT DO IT. THIS IS MY FROZEN . BETTER SISTER MOVIE THAN FROZEN <-- hasnt watched frozen
