VENGEANCE SAGA?? MORE LIKE BEST SAGA YET

[geddy-leesbian]

@raccoons-garbage-can is the realest because I can just send him something insane about how I think medicine in the island lab looks like heartburn medicine and then an even more insane explanation of why I think it makes complete sense for Los Illuminados to stock up on heartburn medicine and he just accepts it 🫶 ily

u seem like a big time ritsu enjoyer so i figured i would recommend you this interaction i saw,, yesterday? i think? on @/shigayokageyama ‘s account !! (if u scroll back a bit you’ll see it)

basically someone sends a ask about the character profiles and music tastes and it spirals into a silly convo about ritsu and what he listens to since he doesn’t listen to music lmao

I DID see that lsdkfjlkdsfj the fact that ritsus canonically doesn't listen to music is possibly my favorite character detail about him. he's so funny.

he is definitely a white noise enjoyer to me. he sits down to study and just googles "white noise for studying" and finds a nine hour video to listen to. someone sees him with his earbuds in and are like "oh what are you listening to" and it's an audiobook about physics.

it's especially funny to me that he's best friends with shou, whose character profile says he listens to any kind of music. I feel like shou is constantly trying to find something, ANYTHING to get ritsu to listen to, and ritsu is just like :/ about all of them

Hate listening to BTS songs right now 'cause they put me in such a good mood but then reality is like we're not gonna get new shit for another year and that sucks so much.

[depengu]

3! For the ask game

Thaaanks for the ask hopw you like the song and hope that your day is going well!

[ghostickle]

I really be cursed for everyone I meet to just end up using me huh

[chalkeater]

Im thinking about how some people (ive seen) have this mild hint of Snobbiness when it comes to whether or not you save each song individually like The Old Days (I used to do that) . You download the song + edit the artist name + add a song image�� but have you considered that. If you have any form of disability with your hands that its time conuming epecially if you’re just starting and have 500+ songs of backlog? Also even if youre able bodied its just so time consuming and i cant squeeze in the time to download and sort 500+ music if i have more important things to do

[steampunk-raven]

my parents are talking about a really triggering thing within earshot but I currently can’t move or talk and neither of them have their phones with them so I can’t text them

[uozlulu]

Listening to David Bowie because all other music is apparently making me anxious but also silence is making me anxious but also for now reason

No clue why. Just all of a sudden my brain is just like directionless anxiety. Can’t reason with it because there is no discernible cause

i wish you could reply to people's letterboxd reviews

2022 Loosies: Spoon — “Wild”

Most bands that have albums I love as much as I do a good number of Spoon albums, I’m fairly all in on. It’s not at all normal for me to like 3-4 records by someone and then range from neutral to negative on the rest. To be clear, I don’t think I’ve ever thought a Spoon album was bad, and it’s not as if they’re all radically different from each other (except for maybe the first two versus the rest) so it’s slightly mystifying to me why some I love and some I shrug at. Even weirder, unlike say Elbow or The National where their records tend to need to grow on me, I tend to pretty immediately know when I love a Spoon release (and when I’ve gone to do due diligence, it hasn’t changed my mind on any of the ones I’m lukewarm on).

The progression went something like this (what are tumblrs for if not personal indulgence, eh?): hear “Everything Hits at Once” on MuchMusic, spellbound; buy and love Girls Can Tell. Track down A Series of Sneaks (with the Lafitte songs as bonus tracks), am mildly amazed that this sounds basically like another also great band. Get really excited for Kill the Moonlight... then only like a handful of songs on it (”Small Stakes”, “The Way We Get By”, “Jonathan Fisk”, “Vittorio E.”). Feel slightly aghast at how much friends and colleagues love that one and the boring-to-me Gimme Fiction, decide that I like their early stuff and they’ve fallen off. But then Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is one of my favourite records of the year (only listened to after “The Ghost of You Lingers” turned my head around) and sometimes still my favourite. Transference 100% does not take and having not learned anything I mentally write them off again except the video for “Do You” pulls me back in and They Want My Soul is (in my opinion) their best record. Hot Thoughts has so far done nothing for me. So it feels like I’ve settled into a pattern where for whatever reason I adore every second Spoon record and don’t care about the other half.

If that holds, I should love Lucifer on the Sofa, and presumably the same way I did Ga x 5 and They Want My Soul; from first listen. I heard “Wild” and got excited. It’s not quite “Do You” as far as first impressions go but it touches on some of the same powerful, inchoate emotions that some of my favourite Spoon music brings to the table. But... if I’m going to love that record it’s going to be the first time a Spoon record has successfully grown on me and it hasn’t yet. “Wild” is good, though.

All of these did things to my brain but I said centuries solely because I have a Core Memory of my brother and I writing a parody of it on the school playground

"Some leggings are worn/ Some turn to dust or to corn/ But you will remember mine/ Remember mine your whole timeline"

It's a silly memory but one that's very dear to my heart :] I am a silly creature fumbling in the dark and laughter is a lamp on in the other room

I've made a whole list of songs that ruined my brain AMVs in my early YouTube days so I was curious if this was universal.

I listed only one song per artist, no fandom songs, and only from my experience. Feel free to share yours that I didn't list!

I dont wanna sound all "ooh tiktok scary i hate modern technology" but as an autistic person who is surrounded by lots of neurodivergent people, it honestly scares me how many people I see these days get their interests and hyperfixations from algorithms. They're not organically finding interests, its something that was pushed to them by algorithms.

I don't know how to put it into words, but in an age where we can't own the software we buy, do we even own our interests anymore? How do we know our latest hobby isn't something astroturfed by a business manipulating the algorithm?

The First Meet Self-Aware!Sylus

Is it still kidnapping if you’re in love with him? Yes. It is. Welcome to the N109 Zone get comfortable baby pt. 1 here

Self-Aware!Sylus who can call anywhere home, but is becoming less and less interested in the N109 zone because you’re not there “Well you can’t come here” “Why not?” “You’re not real Sylus how would you come here?” he turns tapping his chin as if he's actually trying to figure out a way to access your world “You could come here”

Sylus wouldn’t out right say it, but he was desperate to have you in his arms it just never seemed possible. There was nothing either of you could do so you settled for a love that would end tragically because you just couldn’t let him go. You found yourself daydreaming constantly about spending your days with him. What it would be like to hold his hand instead of your phone. To caress his cheek and feel his warmth in the palm of your hand. You gave yourself butterflies just imagining him melting into your touch.

Just him.

“You’re spacing out Princess” You slightly jumped at the sound of his voice. You glanced down at the celery you were mindlessly chopping. “Shit I didn’t mean to dice it” You huffed and scraped it onto the pan anyway; there was no way you were going back to the store right now. You looked back at Sylus who was casually sitting on his couch watching a musical. Sometimes it really made you feel crazy seeing him like this. Not the in-game repeated movements that he was programmed to do, but fluid movement and everyday life activities. It really felt like you were talking to a person and not just code in a game. “What are you watching?”

Sylus hummed off key as he answered “Heathers” You giggled at the fact that the big bad Onychinus leader watches musicals in his living room during his free time. “You should join me” He glanced at you from the corner of his eye and smiled to himself like there was some inside joke you didn’t catch. “Only in our dreams” You smiled at him, but it was somber the reality of your relationship always made you a little sad yet here you were doing nothing to end it. You turned back to stir the vegetables you had sautéing because the last thing you need is for them to overcook.

That's when you heard the clearest voice in your ear “Just dreams?” You spun around rapidly flinging food in the process. Your heart pounded against your chest as you scanned the empty kitchen looking for any other sign of life. You immediately swapped out the spoon for the knife you had just minutes earlier. “Sylus please tell me you heard that”

Silence.

You glanced at your phone and saw that the screen was off. “Is there a fucking demon in my house right now?” You snatched your phone ready to call a friend to come over, but your efforts were thwarted when a band of silky red and black mist wrapped around your wrist wrenching you backwards. “I’ve been called worse”

You breath hitched causing you to choke on your own spit as you came face to face with Sylus. Are you going crazy? You struggled against his evol that felt like what you could only describe as smoke with density. “I must be hallucinating” You’ve imagined having this man in front of you for months, but you had no idea he would be this terrifying in person. It felt like you were standing before a hungry wolf that wouldn’t second guess snapping your neck. Why was his demeanor so damn scary? Before you could even process what was happening Sylus grabbed you buy the waist and pulled you close to him. “I’m sorry Princess but this is probably going to hurt”

“Wha-” Pain seared through you in an instant like lightning and fire at once. Your mouth fell open in a silent scream as it felt like your vocal cords were singed to a crisp. The pain was unbearable it changed from searing to pins and needles almost like little pieces of you were splitting apart. You couldn’t handle it and your vision went dark as you passed out.

You came too slowly, groaning as you stretched your limbs on a stiff mattress. You sat up slowly realizing you were fine. Rolling your shoulders and rubbing your legs you were sure whatever that was must have just been a terrible dream. Maybe? “I knew I was dreaming” you couldn’t explain the amount of pain you felt though. You turned and noticed instead of your usual view of your room you were looking out amongst a vast dark city. “Where-”

“What do you think?” a voice said in your ear causing your fight or flight to kick in. You pulled your legs under yourself and swung your fist as hard as you could in the direction of the voice. The person groaned at the contact and you reached for the nearest object you could find which was a lamp and swung it, but your wrist was caught mid air and you were disarmed with ease. Within seconds you were pinned down on the mattress.

Your eyes widened in shock when you realized who was holding you down “Sylus?” He was just as intimidating as he was in your dream. Or was it a dream? “You’re not dreaming” Sylus squeezed your wrist tightly “Ow stop stop it hurts” he raised an eyebrow as his lip quirked up “See?” You rolled your eyes he was way too amused with your reaction for your liking. “We need to work on that right hook of yours it's a little weak” He can’t be serious right now you just punched him in his jaw and tried to beat him over the head with a lamp and the first thing he thinks of is training your punches to get better? Typical.

Sylus couldn’t help but, chuckle at your expression with your brows furrowed and your lips curled in frustration. “I wish you could see yourself right now” You pushed his face away with your free hand irritated with him for causing you that much pain.

“I wish you would get a new mattress why is this bitch so stiff my fucking back hurts” You squirmed underneath him. He inhaled a sharp breath making you freeze realizing the position you were in; he was nestled perfectly between your legs with one hand pinned above your head. Suddenly there was a knock at the door “Boss we heard some commotion are you okay?” Sylus rolled his eyes “I’m fine. Leave.”

“Yes boss” The sound of footsteps retreated until there was silence again. Sylus looked down at you furrowing his brows, this time is was your turn to smirk. “Don’t say it” He warned. Your lips quivered as you tried to stop your smile from forming “Are those my boys?” Sylus gave you a bored look before rolling his eyes at you as well. “Do you know how hard it was to bring you here Princess? You’re more excited for Luke and Kieran than me” Sylus expression seemed irritated, but the look in his eyes was pouty. You had Sylus jealous of his own men now that was an ego boost. You squirmed in his hold again trying to free yourself. “This is a lot for me Sylus you have some explaining to do" You kicked your legs like a toddler trying to sit up once again "And let me get up your mattress is not comfortable!”

Sylus huffed at your commands, but of course he listened getting up and pulling you with him. He had you straddle his lap with his hands gently placed on your waist. “Is this more comfortable?” He leaned back against the headboard his eyes traveling up and down your body. Based on the look in his eyes it was almost as if even he couldn’t believe you were not only in front of him, but on top of him at the moment.

“No! w-well y-yea but-” You cut yourself off to save face. This man really had you stuttering like porky the pig. You took a deep breath, gathering your thoughts as best as you could. “How the actual fuck am I here right now Sylus”

“Energy manipulation is stronger than you think” He shrugged like it was no big deal. “What the fuck does that even mean?”

“If you turn something into pure energy it can travel wherever you want it to even into as you call it a game world” His words bounced around in your head as you tried to make sense of them. What does he mean energy can travel anywhere. Then it hit you. The searing pain, pins and needles, the black out. “You turned me into pure energy to bring me here?!” You screamed in his face.

“Something like that” He replied in a bored tone “The shopkeeper said it should only hurt the first time” You rubbed your temples just trying to stay calm, how were you supposed to be okay with the fact that you were seemingly ripped apart and put back together inside of a damn game. You felt Sylus shifting underneath you and his hands running up your sides. “Tell me” he tilted your chin down so he could look you in the eye. “Are you not happy to have me like this?” he wrapped his arms around your waist while he rested his chin on your chest. “I can hear your heart beating fast”

“Of course I'm happy to see you” You cradled his face in your hands and he immediately melted into your touch. It was even better than you imagined it would be. His eyes closed and you could feel the satisfying hum that rumbled in his chest. You stared in awe at the sight before you; he was really melting because of you. He opened his eyes and dropped his gaze to your lips causing them to part “Prove it.”

You didn’t need to be a genius to know he wanted a kiss. You two spend many nights talking about it. He made you promise that if you ever actually met him the first thing you would do is kiss him. That promise was clearly broken since the first thing you did was punch him in the face. His lips looked so soft and full you didn’t hesitate to lean in and Sylus met you half way. It lasted no longer than three seconds before you pulled away. “What's wrong?" You shook your head and looked away “Nothing you’re just making me nervous”

You had no time to prepare yourself as Sylus slammed you back on your back and pressed his lips to yours in a heated kiss. Your eyes bugged out of your head before slightly rolling back as you gave into him. He nipped at your bottom lip and shoved his tongue in when you opened up for him. You thought he would be more rough, but he was actually so gentle. He kissed you like he was trying to perfectly mold your mouth to only fit his. No more like it was already made to fit only him. You wrapped you arms around his neck and snaked one hand up the back of his head tugging the hair at the nape. He smiled against your lips “Do that again” he whispered, hooking your leg over his hip. You tugged even harder this time relishing in the satisfied groan he let out.

You could do this for hours, but you had too many questions. You pulled his head away trying to catch your breath. “We’re not done talking Sylus” He sucked his teeth and sighed heavily as he sat up. This time he didn’t pull you onto his lap he helped you sit up and fixed your shirt that was riding up from him almost removing it. “Ask your questions” He leaned back against the headboard with his arms crossed. You couldn’t help, but giggle at the slight pout he was failing to hide. "For starters where can we buy a softer mattress?"

Just got reminded my father is homophobic sometimes I forget because of all the other flavors of bigotry coming from this man

Now I’m gonna listen to Ram It Down in loop cause it’s the perfect “angry at people saying gay people are shoving it down their throat” song
