S, as a fellow fall out boy enjoyer, i gotta admit I started tearing up at work today bc "sunshine riptide" came on my playlist and i started thinking about stucky and got sad

Idk why i just thought you might relate

Eyyy, good to know, lol 🤙🏻 because you are not the only one! Stucky and Fall Out Boy hit a spot in me that is pure weakness.

I don't even have my own attention You say, "Please don't ever change," but you Don't like me the way I am, the sign says "Don't you tap the glass," but I read it in reverse: "eht pat uoy t'nod syas ngis ehT" The world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know I wouldn't let it, it tried to teach me the hard way, I can't forget it Driving down the coast again The pills are kicking in, the pills are kicking in She said, "I love you 'til I don't" I am just playing house, no idea what I'm doing now There are no atheists in foxholes The pressure's getting to me, it's time to throw in the towel 'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide Dancing all alone in the morning light The sunshine riptide You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright, the sunshine Call me Oluwaburna, I fell in love, but I didn't fall down Them say me nah normal, drink Hennessy, me nah drink water Make me stumble pon me Air Jordan Ain't no slowing down, know I keep it rolling now Smoking in my fuckin' brain, passing through my fuckin' mind Feel like I'm bulletproof, bulletproof, baby With the sun shining through, got the blunt and the juice, cruise Ridin' through the The sunshine riptide Dancing all alone in the morning light The sunshine riptide You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright Sun, sun, sun Sun, sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...) Sun, sun, sun Sun, sun You are my truest feeling yet I love you so much, it's just like oxygen And it's going to my head A public meltdown, petulant, but irreverent Take all your possibilities then take away the limits Take your ideas and throw away all the gimmicks I do the best with what I have The pills are kicking in, the pills are kicking in 'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide Dancing all alone in the morning light The sunshine riptide (The sunshine) You came back like a wave when I was feeling al- (-right) I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide Dancing all alone in the morning light The sunshine riptide (The sunshine) You came back like a wave when I was feeling al- (-right) Sun, sun, sun Sun, sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...) Sun, sun, sun Sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...)

I mean... come on. Yeah. Just, YEAH.

Don't like me the way I am, the sign says "Don't you tap the glass," but I read it in reverse: "eht pat uoy t'nod syas ngis ehT"

That part is just Bucky. Being imprisoned like a zoo animal in a cage behind a glass barrier, reading the sigh from the inside out so it seems to be reversed and everything is backward and confusing and you don't understand.

The world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know I wouldn't let it, it tried to teach me the hard way, I can't forget it

That part screams Steve to me. It is definitely Bucky, too. But Steve. Being bullied growing up, continually knocked down, but always standing up. He always sees the good in people, no matter what. (Bucky, too, he's been tortured and beaten and made into a machine, but he's a hero. He doesn't want to hurt people.)

You are my truest feeling yet, I love you so much, it's just like oxygen And it's going to my head

S-T-U-C-K-Y

Sunshine riptide

The overarching sun and ocean theme, of course! I can see either of them, Bucky or Steve, as either in the titular pairing, depending on how you look at it. Come with me:

You would obviously expect Steve to be the sunshine with his blonde hair and golden persona as Captain America, God's righteous man, with Bucky following as the riptide. Bucky's churning blue-grey eyes like ocean depths, his body and morals pulled on by HYDRA like the moon tugs the seas, unrelenting, so deeply ingrained it feels inevitable at times. But... Steve's resolve can be like white water surf, unexpectedly strong, a current that comes back again and again no matter how many times it bashes against hard rock at the shore, waiting forever for the seemingly unchangeable to change and doing just that. Bucky can be like the sun with his tanned skin, the way the summer light warms his hair to more of a honey brown than dark chocolate. His smiles when he's happy. His charm, and how welcoming and easy people can find him.

It comes down to the age-old debate I suppose, lol, which, between Steve and Bucky, is the grumpy one and which one is the sunshiny one? Depends on the era and flavor of stucky, I suppose.

There's so much more I could pick out of this song, but that's where I'll stop for now before I completely talk your ear off, haha.

P.S. Sunshine Riptide isn't the only Mania song that guts me by reminding me of stucky, Bishops Knife Trick also makes me lose it.

6. Overdose — Trickle

I've known from the start that it all would fall apart Heart-broken after dark I'm such a fool for thinking anything has love for me, hah Overdose, hold me close, darling Feeling so low, falling Close my eyes and let me leave my blues behind

This is actually a piece I finished a few months ago; I had wanted to experiment with a more solid line brush, color palettes, and cropped compositions, and I figured doing an album-cover-style piece would be good practice for it! I meant to post it back when i finished it in June, because I'm honestly super proud of how it came out! But i just never got around to it— super happy I get to share it with you all now :]

Jhariah album/singles art (2018-2024)

[fiasco95]

Regulus comes out wearing a black crossover skort, grey sleeveless crop top with black knee high laced up combat boots. To top it off he has make-up on; baby pink eyeshadow adorned with small yet sharp winged eyeliner. Tinted light red lipstick.

Regulus, twirling in place for James: So? Looks good?

James backing Regulus up to bathroom door he just came out of. Places his hand on the door next to his head. James quietly and hungrily eyes Regulus up and down.

Regulus, knowing what’s about to happen, turns around to open the door: No. Stop. This is my outfit for the concert you’re not-!

James pushes the door close.

James, without turning his head and continues to drink Regulus in: Love you, Pete. But get out.

Regulus, begging Peter with his eyes: No. Peter I swear to g-

Peter without having to be told twice already opening the front door: Will wait for you in the car! Mwah!

Regulus ended up being driven to the concert by James instead. James also has to buy Regulus 10 albums to compensate for ruining his outfit and makeup that day.

James is okay with that. (He will do it again.)

Hi Jonny. Were you at all inspired by A Question Of Balance by The Moody Blues for other things you’ve written? I ask because your reference to Melancholy Man in Thirteen Storeys prompted me to listen to the full album a while back and I feel like I find new parallels between the album and your other works with each listen. I’d also be very interested in any thoughts you have on the album. Thanks!

I mean, I grew up on my dad's 70s prog collection (my first gig at age 13 was Uriah Heep's 30th anniversary show), so Moody Blues were pretty formative for me, yeah. They weren't quite up there with Pink Floyd, Deep Purple or Uriah Heep, which were my favourites, but "Melancholy Man" specifically has always stuck with me, and its definitely found its way onto more than one of my writing playlists.
