#that���s also my favorite song

[nightmateria]

isn't it laughable?  how many times have we loved and betrayed  trapped in this endless cycle  isn't it ironic?  to find peace and completion right here  look at me all that's left is my twisted self screaming soundlessly in the pits of despair  please come back  and stop searching for the answer

ok but folie à deux is such an underrated album. makes me want to beat up men and wear over-the-top winged eyeliner and leather jackets and skinny jeans and drive entirely too fast down desolate roads late at night. genuinely my favorite fall out boy album, 10/10.

oh i'm gonna be so annoying about this album..... i even took notes while listening to this just now...

I headcanon that while Dick and Jason may not have gotten along super well before Jason died, one thing that they bonded over was their love of Dolly Parton. Jason had heard of her, but wasn’t really familiar with most of her discography (he didn’t really have a lot of money to spend on music or time to listen to stuff while trying to survive on the streets). Dick plays him “A Gamble Either Way” and “Silver Dagger” and both hit a little close to home for Jason. he quickly got into the rest of her music.

after Jason comes back and is on better terms with the family, they do a family movie night (the first since Jason’s return) and Dick puts on 9 to 5. during the opening sequence, Dick looks over at Jason with a glint in his eye and starts singing along. Jason rolls his eyes but sings along perfectly, getting kinda into it, just like before he died and it was just the two of them. everyone else is surprised to see the two of them acting this way, except Alfred who is smiling fondly at them

Bruce Dickinson just did a two-hour podcast interview with Rich Roll and name-dropped Russ Ballard when talking about Samson and "Riding With the Angels" and I could do nothing but think of you immediately by association. "Ah! Yes! lock-my-feelings-in-a-jar's blorbo!"

i went to watch some to find that part because i assumed it was somewhere near the beginning because of the timestamps in the description so i just played it from the start until then

and i laughed when the guy said "a guy that doesn't really do podcasts" even though he does the psycho schizo espresso podcast

but anyway

also i love bruce's red shoes

YES I FOUND IT i love how as soon as riding with the angels is mentioned by the other guy, that's ALL BRUCE SAYS, just "russ ballard. russ ballard." and then gets back to his story. thank you bruce, for pointing out who did the original, it's one of my favorite things for a musician to do when talking about any cover songs

love this because first there was the video of russ talking about bruce with an iron maiden fan(he got a fact slightly wrong but that's okay(and then she was like "you're such a legend it's crazy" and he was like "oh don't!" and that was cute)) earlier this year while he was preparing a prank gift for somebody on tour with them

and now we have this with bruce mentioning russ

perfect.

THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THIS, this ask was the first thing i saw when i woke up and it made me excited to get up and look into it. and i love that his name makes you think of me omg, the greatest honor, to be associated with him in some way

i'm just a part of him now forever

Song of the Day: October 1

“Chipping Mill” by Turnpike Troubadours

[kusuokisser]

my favorite song is "heaven is a bedroom" (tv girl) because one day at work i was weeding or something and it came on and i had to do a full pause because my brain went "i think saiki would listen to this" and from then on its rotted my brain

Lyric Headcanon

I know I'm like a bazillion years late and I'm so sorry, @peaches2217 wrote this adorable story back in August and at the end included a cute callback to One Step Closer. The reference was a quote from the eponymous U2 song, where the lyric "a heart that hurts is a heart that beats," is mentioned as something the Bros mother used to say.

I think it was so sweet and it kind of gave me this sense that the Bros' mom quoting U2 was becoming fanon 😂 So what if their mom was just a huge U2 fan, and all her wise or uplifting quotes that the boys fondly remember are literally just lyrics from their songs? They have plenty of material and quotes I've adored my whole life. I'll make a list here, and I may incorporate this into my future fics. Any other Mario writers are welcome to do the same as long as you give me a little shoutout 😎

--In no particular order, here are some quotes alongside some context I believe they could fit in--

"A heart that hurts is a heart that beats." -One Step Closer (A gentle reminder that pain makes us human and can be appreciated.)

"Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel." -City of Blinding Lights. (On religion and judgement against others.)

"...Grace makes beauty out of ugly things." -Grace (A reminder to be kind even when it's hard, maybe something Peach does in her approach to politics reminds Mario of this line.)

"It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success." -The Fly (A warning that both ambition and success can be damaging.)

"I'm not broke, but you can see the cracks." -All Because of You (A quip about money or sense, maybe Mario and Luigi use this to tease each other?)

"The only pain is to feel nothing at all." -A Man and a Woman (A similar sentiment as One Step Closer.)

"Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth." -Running to Stand Still (Some things are just not worth it, especially when it comes to overindulgence.)

"There is no failure here, sweetheart, just when you quit." -Miracle Drug (Uplifting reminder to keep going. Maybe something Mario tells Luigi.)

"Stay a child somewhere in your heart." -Original of the Species (A plea to not become jaded by adulthood.)

"The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear." -I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Being silly for the sake of silliness is an underappreciated privilege in our lives.)

"It's hard to listen while you preach." Every Breaking Wave (Remember other people have valuable things to say that you'll only hear if you listen.)

"Love is bigger than anything in its way." -Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way (I feel like this could be a quote Mario chooses to live by, and he tells Peach this and it kind of shifts her perspective too 💖)
