#tmp my darling

[rainbowresurrection]

Spock having a psychedelic brain blast and crying about how gay he is + the futility of his life-long self-hatred is the most 1970s way that movie could have ended. Chef's kiss

[flufflecat]

remembering the time that I listened to so much rusty quill gaming in such a short timeframe that my internal monologue was narrated by alexander j newall for like 2 weeks straight

[rrawrrxd]

hi hello look at my ship art with nate shapiro and my tmp host interp (his name is henry btw)

my darling @wormcreature explained their dynamic here:

and heres some other things including my ydkj sona. damn i have GOT to draw more nate/henry i love these freaks

[youandthemountains]

the prompt "fake amnesia" for spones made me laugh so hard and now i truly want it. who's "forgetting" and why and exactly what level of bitchiness will it entail and also can elaine may direct it

There are just too many ways this could go I can't pick one

Set during TMP - when Bones runs up happy to see him, Spock instead responds with 'all irrationality and illogic was purged from my memories during the kohlinar ritual, soz', a catty way to imply a 'and you are...?' bc the Need to Tease McCoy takes control like it does in the end of Operation Annihilate. Bones parries with an oh darling I didn't realize I inspired such emotion in you! so naturally it becomes a game of chicken in which they both know it's fake but have decided to keep running with it to see who breaks first.

Post Dreams of the Raven, the beta canon novel where Bones actually does get amnesia and reverts to thinking of himself as a young resident who would never join a hierarchical organization like starfleet, and Spock is very sweet to him and defends older McCoy's life choices to his younger self which is the single most romantic thing I've ever read - ANYWAY. yeah so set at the end of that novel - the amnesia actually is real here but bones regains his memory earlier than he reveals. At first it's because he's entertained by Spock's discomfort with him being so non-combative but then he plays himself bc Spock's all but spelling out his feelings and he can't reveal he was faking NOW bc that'd embarrass the both of them. Spock earlier in the novel tries to get McCoy back to his normal self by baiting him into a debate about morality - over time this comes up again and this time, of course, it 'works'.

I mean the obvious and in a similar vein as above, post-TSFS, Spock actually regaining his memory earlier than he reveals to McCoy because he's so entertained by his changed behavior towards him, but can't hide that he knows him again when McCoy tells him something too honest than they'd ever normally say to each other, like his It seems I've missed you scene, or his Nobody's perfect!

have another one set between the 5YM and the movies involving Disco Bones and Kohlinar Initiate Spock in my head but I can't spell it out to my satisfaction so I want to go ahead and post this already lol

[cherrydeprived]

Now in a relatively readable version, updated to MAGP12! Cw for spoilers. Image and rambles under the cut

Closeups and elaborations

Why do the employees work the night shift? It's weird for an office job. Even the institute was a day job. Why is it at night? It can't be just because, finding employees would be 10 times harder

If no one checks the files classification ("you basically never get a misfile" qt Alice) what are they doing it for? What do you even need to classify them first? The fears hardly benefited from a well kept archive.

Why does Gwen want Lena's job. Is it just pettiness or something else?

What is up with Alice? What is following her? What does she know?

Why does Collin hate tech in his office. What does HE know

Celia. Celia darling what is up with you. Do you regularly wake up on highways in your pjs or ? And do you know about the horrors? She mentioned tape recorders and manila folders. Like. Like tma. What does it mean. Also wdym Jack and Georgie elaborate.

What did Klaus know that made Lena try to kill him? Where is he and is he alive?

Is the jon from the email Chester or is it tmp!jon that still got roped up in supernatural stuff. Why did he send Sam there.

Klaus was german. Was he the one to create FR3-D1? Is that related to why Lena wants him dead?

Is Augustus really Jonah like many people think? We haven't heard his voice yet. Jonah died before Jon and Martin, did he also go Somewhere Else?

THE FUCKING "oh... Hello" EPISODE KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN. ARE THEY ALIVE OUTSIDE OF THE COMPUTERS? ARE THEY CONSCIOUS? WHERE ARE THEY?

What is the "protocol" what does it regard and why is it classified? Is it in regards to the fearpocalypse?

Why did the text to speech suddenly appear. Did no one question it.

Bonzo is canonically a government official. Do with that what you will

Why does the OIAR generate statements? I wonder if Needles and Ink5oul are also externals. Do they only kill people or Do Other Stuff too?

What was the gifted program? What happened? Is that why Sam is in the OIAR now?

Why is Gertrude protective of Gerry about it? Are they related or is it a found family thing. Where is Mary. Did Gertrude work for the institute even here?

What's up with Gerry. He's hiding something i feel it. Deeply suspicious.

Who or what is Error. The audio started glitching after they got out.

In tma the tunnels were millbank prison. Now the institute is in Manchester, so what was it built on and what are the tunnels?

Was Elias still hired here? Is he related to Gwen, does he exist, is that why she wants Lena's job so bad? Did she notice the switch from Elias to Jonah?

How did it burn down? Was it arson, a leak, an accident?

The papers????????????????

The fucking. Internet magnus statement. Raised SO MANY QUESTIONS. There's gore (?) or weird graffiti (?) the photos are freaky and someone doesn't want information spread about the institute. There were eyes (?) (like... Full on eyes? Still preserved after 25 years?) both the graffiti and the gore were banned. What does this mean.

Here redcanary says explicitly: no documents or papers, even mush. However Alice and sam found them in the archives and drawers.

Also there's worm tracks on the floor of the archives? Jane Prentiss?

Who was "chosen" from the program. Chosen for what. Why did Dam wish he was chosen. is it regret for a missed opportunity or survivors guilt. What weird stuff happened.

I will try my best to keep this updated with every new episode but Wow it's a mess.

The tmp conspiracy board is coming along nicely

Anyone want a readable copy ?

At the Back of Your Neck

(Got inspiration for a Your Boyfriend drabble.......)

Sometimes... you feel like there’s something... someone following you.

Like a shadow.

There were times that you felt like somebody was trailing behind you whenever you had to close up the diner on your own. Turned off all the lights, made sure none of the kitchen appliances were left on, lock the doors, put the chains around them. And as the chains jingled and jostled while you locked that too, you could swear something moved from around the corner of the building. That made you hasten, practically dropping the padlock and yanking the key out, stuffing it into your pocket while you rushed away, keeping away from the alleys. The darkness between the streetlights made you hurry your steps, you feel like you could hear someone else matching you- but every time you turned around, it seemed like no one was there. But the entire way from work to home, you were sure you’d heard the footsteps. When you walked into the apartment hallways, you could hear clearly the difference between one set of footsteps and two simultaneous ones.

It was even more alarming when you saw your window open when you entered your bedroom, quickly shutting and locking it, paranoia building in you. You slept under the covers that night- even when you started to feel like it was too hot, you felt like any more than just your face poking out of the blanket, and you’d be exposed.

That was during the nights... you’d probably chalk it up to nights generally being slightly creepy, especially all alone, and call it just you being paranoid.

But the feeling persisted during the day as well.

When you were going to and from work, when you’re just walking through town, you could really feel a set of eyes staring into your back.

Of course during the day, there’s more people out and about, and you’d think it might be because you feel like someone was looking at you, but this felt more than the usual ‘are they looking at me?’ feeling. You felt the same unease as you did when you had to be out during late hours. Whenever you looked at the people around you, none of them would give you the same feeling, either they were talking with their friends or just plain not noticing you... even when someone was looking at you, it didn’t feel like they were the same stare you kept feeling at the back of your neck. Just a passing glance before they look back to where they were going.

Are you just... anxious? People don’t... feel stares... You sure wouldn’t think yourself of having ‘above average�� senses, even if the sense did exist. Maybe it’s because it’s the anxiety from the nights being carried into the day?

Sure, you’ve gotten scared before. Watching a horror movie always made you feel like there would be something around the corner, made you turn on the lights (one particularly bad scare had made you turn on ALL the lights in the apartment- your roommate certainly wasn’t too thrilled about that when she had to go out that night to get some water). But those were temporary, at most lasting a couple of days before it settled down.

This felt constant, every where you went, in the day or the night. You felt eyes following you, watching your every move. How- how are you supposed to explain that? You’re pretty sure you’d be given weird looks if you tried to explain this to someone else... why would you be so scared when you’re not even sure if someone’s following you? How can you be sure that’s happening when you didn’t even actually see anyone, all these times you’ve felt the stare? Even you’re not sure if it’s real or just paranoia.

It’s probably just the latter. Right? If it wasn’t...

...

You weren’t sure what you’d do if it was the former.

For now you just laugh it off, it’s just silly isn’t it? You’re just overly paranoid, no one’s actually following you. Just your imagination playing tricks, your mind coming up with these scenarios- that’s what’s scaring you.

It’s not real.

You’re fine. No one’s following you.

That’s what you tell yourself as you climb into bed in comfy pajamas, clicking the lamp off and repositioning yourself under the covers. You close your eyes.

You don’t have to worry about it. Your fears aren’t real.

...

.....

........

Your boyfriend slowly pushes the closet door open, once he’s sure you’re sleeping. He’s been here so many times, he can tell by your breathing when you’ve already fallen into slumber. You sound so soft when you just fell asleep... it was adorable. He could hear it every night.

He loves a lot of the sounds you make.

He closed the closet door and walked towards you, his footsteps dulled by the carpet, almost silent.

Tmp. Tmp. Tmp.

He casted a glance towards your window, making sure it was unlocked.

He turned to you, crouching down, knees on the floor. It was a good night- you were facing towards the window, he could see your face.

“Ah... darling...” he cooed quietly, his whisper but a gust of wind gently rustling the leaves. You didn’t stir- he’s learned what volume would wake you up, and kept his voice low. Low enough that you don’t startle, but loud enough that he’s sure your ears could hear it, his words falling into your subconscious.

“You’re so cute when you sleep. So soft.” he brushes his knuckles over your cheek, relishing in feeling your skin.

“So peaceful even when I touch you. You’ve been so scared lately, my love... your eyes keep darting here and there whenever you’re out... looking for someone.”

When he smiled, his sharp teeth glinted slightly from the faint moonlight outside.

Was it him you’re looking for? The very thought makes his heart thump against his chest from the inside, a sigh escaping through slightly parted lips. Thinking about you actually looking for him... it didn’t matter why. It made him smile up to his eyes when you thought of him.

He wants you to think of him. To only look at him.

No one else.

You belonged to him.

He kisses your cheek, gently; sucking in a breath when you make a small happy hum, mumbling something he can’t quite hear.

He feels he’s going to burst from how much love he has for you.

“You don’t have to worry about a thing, sweetness. I’m always watching you. Nothing will ever happen to you while I’m around.”

He sighs.

“You’re safe with me, (Y/n).”

[exn0bisstudios]

ooo apologies if this has been asked but !! pet names!! what do the ROs call the MC, and what would they like to be called? :3

(Backlogged ask [sorry for the wait!] sent before TMP was announced)

What would they like to be called...

In general, all of the ROs would be happy with any pet name. In fact, most of them would preen when called by a pet name! The only real exception is with Andrai, who would probably get too embarrassed over some of the more ridiculous pet names out there (like ‘honey-melon sugar-pie’ type ridiculous) and would ask not to be called them. Otherwise, have at!

What they call their partner(s)...

Mira Twilight

Mira tends to use 'love' for casual endearment, like "Of course, love, I'll take care of it." Once they know it’s okay to use a pet name, they usually end up using it more than their partner’s actual name in casual conversation. When it comes to sincere or emotional moments, they add a possessive and switch to 'my love'.

In the poly route... Mira has a habit of playfully calling Nova ‘sugar’ as their casual pet name, and much like with MC, they start using it more often than they do their actual name. With sincere or emotional moments, Mira sticks with ‘my love’, or, if referring to both Nova and MC at the same time, switches to ‘my loves.’

Nova Dreamreaver

Nova isn't too big on casual pet names and is more likely to just use someone's name. However, if they're teasing someone or being sarcastic, they’ll often use use 'darling'. When they are being sincere or emotional, they will start peppering in the occasional pet name, specifically ‘sweet thing.’ This is mainly because they are trying to mask how emotional they really are by trying to frame it flirtatiously.

In the poly routes... Nova’s general habits with casual pet names remain mostly the same in both their available poly routes, preferring to use their partner’s names unless they’re teasing or being sarcastic. When they are being sincere or emotional, for Mira they will use ‘sunshine’ and for Stella they will use ‘honey bee.’

Stella

Stella uses pet names constantly in casual conversation, usually sarcastically, as insincere flirtations, or just as friendly teasing. Most commonly they will call people ‘babe’ or ‘hun’. Thus, their version of a casual pet name is to actually use someone's proper title (or a title of their own making, if a proper one isn’t applicable), so 'Seer' in the case of MC. In casual conversation, though, they still pepper in plenty of ‘babe’s and ‘hun’s. When Stella is being sincere or emotional, they express their affection by actually using their partner’s name.

In the poly route... Stella gives Nova the same constant pet name treatment, and since Nova does not have a proper title, they have dubbed them ‘Dreamwalker.’ Similarly, when being sincere or emotional, Stella will use Nova’s name.

Désiré Desrosiers

Désiré doesn't use pet names casually at all. In general, if he's calling you a pet name, he always means it with sincerity and emotion. 'My love' or 'my darling' are his go-to, but the biggest endearment for Dez is an action rather than words. Namely, that he will start speaking against Seer's skin as a sign of affection/intimacy.

Vittore Simone Armati

Vittore Simone uses some casual endearments platonically, which is a common cultural practice in Chepria. In such cases, he usually uses ‘urso’ (’darling’ in Cheprian), but sometimes says 'dear' in Common. Casual romantic endearments are always in Cheprian, like ‘che igni’ (my sweet), ‘che bepriese’ (my beauty), or ‘rovi’ (honey). When Vittone is being sincere or emotional, he uses ‘che cietto’ (my treasure). When he's especially in his feelings, he’ll use ‘che piugio/che piugio prippi’ (my heart/my whole heart).

Andrai Freestrider

Andrai struggles with expressing himself, especially emotionally, so pet names are few and far between and usually only used if he's having a very emotional moment. In casual settings, he's more the type where him calling you a fool or other mild insult is actually affectionate and means he cares. For those aforementioned sincere or emotional moments, he'll either use his partner’s name or a traditional ‘my love.’

Vzridmi Ri'kho’ve

Vzridmi will use pet names casually with anyone she's fond of, both platonically and romantically. Usually those pet names are along the lines of ‘hun’ or ‘dear.’ If the relationship is romantic, a few additional casual pet names are added to the retinue and are used liberally. These are all in her native language of Atnachi, and include ‘ada’ (darling) and ‘trini’ (sweetheart). When Mimi is being sincere or emotional she starts to add a possessive to the pet name, most frequently using ‘vna ada’ (my darling).

[amythecinnabunny]

I have decided. For 300 followers, here are 30 prompts that are just lines from my WIPs. Send me a prompt number + a character(s)/ship/platonic pairing and I’ll do a little drabble based off it. Alternatively, send me a number + “explain”/”context” and I’ll tell you a bit about the WIP and put the line in context. (Ignore the names, I copied these directly from various WIPs)

Also feel free to turn this into a prompt list ask game i’ll be genuinely curious to see anything else that comes of this.

I’ll write for the following fandoms:

Julie and the Phantoms

BBC Merlin

Harry Potter

Marvel

Miraculous Ladybug

The Order

Emma’s absence was tangible. It was a hole in Adrien’s heart that he could feel. He had never loved anyone like he’d loved Emma.

“If you bite me, will I turn into a vampire?” // “If I bite you, I promise it won’t be about letting you live further.”

“If I don’t make it back -- no listen to me. If I don’t make it out, you have to promise to stay alive. For me. You have to live if I can’t. I made my choice. If I have to pay a price like this for it, then that’s something I have to do.”

“I want one.” // “One what?” Sam asked stupidly, patting his pockets for the phone he’d left in the kitchen. Then he paused. “Oh,” he whispered, “a baby.”

Ani didn’t fancy explaining the difference between being the spirit of a dead person and being someone with ghost physiology so she generally just pretended to be a fifteenth century queen hellbent on haunting the organisation’s property. It was fun.

“I want you to stay so desperately. I wish I could find the strength to persuade you to stay. But I know you have to go and I know you’ll find me again. You always do, right?”

Myles was a soldier. Not because she wanted to be or needed to be. She was because that’s all she knew.

“Don’t worry. We haven’t added my blood -- or anyone’s for that matter -- to the potion so any large scale and or dangerous magic spells won’t come to fruition like time portals or. . .” Merlin trailed off at the look on Gwen’s face, His shoulders dropped. “I already did it, didn’t I?”

“Wh- Daisy?! No. No, no, no, no. You can’t have a crush on Daisy Louise. Reg, she will break you.”

Being a professional assassin was only fun when she actually got jobs. Otherwise she was stuck listening to Luke whining.

“It’s only been two hundred years. Angela Darling, we would never forget the promise of a saviour.” // “YOU TOLD THEM I’M A SAVIOUR?????”

Phoenix crashed through the window with a loud curse. Did she know she’d crashed into the house of the only superhero who could fight her? She stood up and brushed glass off her gray leotard. “Sorry. I thought the window was open.”

Dell stared at Kai like he’d grown a second head. “We are not throwing the king overboard.”

“If you ever touch him again,” Anna hissed, her dagger flush against the knight’s throat, “I don’t care if I bring war upon Camelot herself, I will slit your throat and leave you to bleed in the dungeons. Do you understand?”

Dealing with other people’s nightmares was easier than dealing with her own.

“This can’t be happening. I must be dreaming. There’s no way my favourite character in the whole world is standing here.” // “Why, River Farley! What a coincidence! You just happen to be my favourite character in the whole world!”

Clearly magic was an ineffective weapon when faced with Eddie and a tree branch in her hands.

“Call me a bloodsucker one more time--” // “Am I wrong, though?”

Amy stared at the chaotic mess that was her team. “Okay, so I’ve just decided that I’m your parental unit while Peter’s missing, whatever I say goes.”

Being dead was fun. Watching people slowly skew the story of your life, the greatest romance of all centuries, was decidedly not fun. 

“So I just have to pretend to date you for a month and I get to piss my cousin off? Okay!”

Given the equipment, Rae would have probably tried to become a vigilante at thirteen instead of eighteen.

“Trying to forget you has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.”

Launet was the kind of person who, upon being handed a baby, either wanted to kidnap it for herself to raise or chuck it out the window. There was no in inbetween.

“Breaking into the Hollywood Ghost Club was admittedly not my best moment but look me in the eye and tell me it doesn’t make you fall a little bit in love with me.” 

“Daisy, my love, I adore you. But I genuinely would rather walk into traffic than sit on your bike with you.”

Being dead wouldn’t have been such a problem for Aleksei if he didn’t have to go about his afterlife watching the love of his life making the world’s stupidest decisions.

“I ate a peanut.” // “Aren’t you deathly allergic to nuts?” // “Yeah.” // “Je- FUCK! Did it have to be now while I’m bleeding out?”

Romeo always thought that he’d cross over when Bella eventually died. He didn’t expect her to figure out a way to bring him back to life. It was annoying. This was the seventh door he’d walked into.

Promise me that when I die, you’ll get Buzzfeed Unsolved involved. -- seen @ 8.15pm

redacted for the ask game !!!! >:D - omen / @gentle-horrors

:DDDDD i haven’t talked abt redacted in a minute this is awesome >:) thank u

What made me like them: ok, fun story! after my first time playing jackbox w/ my game club and realizing my irrational hatred of it was unwarranted (fun story; i was soooo jealous of ppl who have enough friends to play it that its existence made me kind of angry DJFNSKFJD i now realize you don’t need the kind of friend group that made younger me so jealous in order to enjoy it) i went onto the tv tropes page. everything i read about redacted was so “dangit that ones my type isnt he”. the pitched down voice put me off at first which is the weirdest thing now that i look back?? but then i played tmp with my game club and realized he was, in fact, as cute and charming as tv tropes had me believe. now i have Feelings

My favorite thing about them: HOW DO I PICK OMG.. probably the fact that he is such a total nerd just in general. this man wants you to think he’s serious and scary but he likes boy bands and disney movies and obscure celebrity facts. also the fact that he has a soft spot for cute animals!! there’s one question in the game where he gets emotional abt otters holding hands ;__;

Nicknames we have for each other: i call him redac or red a lot. he likes using pet names associated w/, like, *tv tropes voice* terms of endangerment bc he likes being a little scary; “my darling” and stuff like that

A headcanon of our relationship: since i know a lot of weird obscure trivia about my interests, he likes getting question ideas from me!

My favorite image of them: n/a

Anything else!: diagnosed with saw lover and also autism we are autism together

[angelofarts]

I was tagged by the immaculate @hey-there-juliet and oh my goodness thank you!

Here we go:

Simple as 1, 2, 3 (multi chap, complete): "I am sorry, Miss Molina." (I promise it's less angsty than it sounds)

Oh you fill my head with sweetness, and you fill my lungs with you (multi chap, WIP): Julie didn’t think they’d get away with it.

Saw my plans come undone, cause I knew you were the one (oneshot): “Mom?”

And when you feel your pulse, knock you over like an animal (oneshot): Ray pinched his nose as he stared at the ceiling. “Okay,” he said, after a moments silence. “Explain it to me again.”

Darling all I want to do is be with you tonight (oneshot): Carrie was not having a good day.

You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin', Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet (oneshot): Flynn was not a hot-headed person.

What's as intriguing or half so fatiguing As what's out of reach (oneshot): Reggie was the king of denial.

Now I'm all caught up in the highs and the lows, It's a shock to my system (oneshot): Luke isn’t exactly sure how it happens.

To be young and in love in New York City (oneshot): The first time Alex knew for sure that he loved Willie was three months after they’d first started dating, almost to the day. 

I'll make the moon shine just for your view, I'll make the starlight circle the room (oneshot): Friday night dinners became a thing early in the first semester. The entire group would move from host to host, though admittedly Luke’s favourite nights were the nights they ate at the Molinas. 

Needle and a thread, gotta get you out of my head (was meant to be a oneshot, became a two shot and now has the potential to be a multi chap because of dragons): It started at their first band practice.

Secret WIP that had to be pushed back because of health problems: "Aha!" Willie said with satisfaction. "I found you."

What we have clearly learned is I have a problem with opening statements 😂

Tagging @knitsessed @tmp-jatp (I know you were already tagged, sorry) @lenacarstairspotterstewart (same as before, sorry) @kybee1497 @fiddlepickdouglas (idk if you write fanfic, I'm sorry if you dont!) And @echocharm17618

Going roughly most-to-least recent, as far as I can tell from last-modified doc dates lolol. All are Whofic, unless otherwise noted!

1) [unnamed/unpublished WIP]: The instant they let her into the room, the moment she locks eyes with him, the realization crashes into her with the impact of a lead weight. She just knows.

2) Striding Parallel [unpublished WIP]: The Doctor huffs impatiently, tapping the psychic paper against his thigh. He doesn’t know who summoned him here, or why, but the longer they make him wait, the less he cares. Well, that’s not exactly true; if someone’s trying to get ahold of him, then they probably need help. So he cares about that. ‘Course he does. Still fairly irritated about the waiting, though.

3) Aural Fixation: “Oh, for goodness’ sake!”

4) [unnamed/unpublished Human Nature WIP]: Did you see him, Son of Mine?

5) love don’t roam: “Welp,” says the Doctor appraisingly, glancing all about the room. … “It’s got buckets of atmosphere,” [he] concludes, and to Rose’s horror, he starts untying the belt to his ceremonial robe.

January 2017 Jeff Rosenstock “Wave Goodnight To Me” Former front man for experimental punk rock collaborative group, Bomb The Music Industry, Rosenstock is now on his third solo record and the first single is a great, sloppy punk rock mess, and I mean that in the best intentions. Group shouted choruses, jangly guitar riffs and a rolling drumbeat, if you grew up under the same punk rock influences as Jeff, you will enjoy his take on the ever-classic material.

Dawes “Roll With The Punches” Dawes is a band that perpetually sits in the mix of the Americana rock scene that is ever present in modern rock. Kid brother to Band of Horses or Alabama Shakes, Dawes doesn’t ever get, pun intended, their fair shake. “Punches” shows off the bands ability to be more than some sweet harmonies and acoustic guitars. Excellently produced and well pointed lyrics, the track shows off that the band can go out and become their own thing without constantly being compared to their brethren.

Joseph “White Flag” A sister trio act (two of whom are twins) let their genetic ability to harmonize shine through. A solid protest song with a very cool percussion backing, “White Flag” is a great debut track to a trio that can very much make big waves in the Americana scene.

Drive-By Truckers “Guns of Umpqua” One of my all-time favorite bands have found their voice again. After a couple forgettable records, the band, specifically principle songwriters, Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, found inspiration in the tumultuousness of 2016 politics. “Guns”, which tells the story of one of the many mass shootings last year, shows what Hood was always so amazing at – painting a deeply dark scene in an amazingly intimate perspective. Empathy for those that lost their lives, displaying the simplicity of that morning and the imagery that might be embedded in someone during a horrific life-changing moment. If a song done this well, can’t help inspire passion for the gun control movement, not exactly sure what can.

Alex Vargas “Higher Ground” A smooth, dark and moody R&B track that is eloquently layered and well-built dynamically.

Bright Light Social Hour “Harder Out Here” Theme to Amazon’s newest breakout show, Sneaky Pete highlights one of Austin’s hidden bands. BLSH has been a favorite for a while, akin to Gary Clark Jr., the band contributes to that Austin blues rock sound. Gritty, emotionally dynamic but full of rock. I also can’t complain about a track that excellently highlights a cool bassline.

Tiny Moving Parts “Volumes” A great band that is improving on the early 2000’s emo/punk scene. Reminiscent of Glassjaw or early Jimmy Eat World, TMP messes with unique time signatures, unique guitar lines but knows where it’s bread is buttered, in its great chorus.

Kaleo “Way Down We Go” Sometimes, it takes another medium to allow you to hear a song in a new way. Case in point, this year’s newest Wolverine movie, Logan released a new trailer highlighting rock’s newest darlings, Kaleo. Poised to be the next Hozier or Kings of Leon ties to what looks like the best blockbuster of 2017, shows pairing of two great media bringing the best out of each other.

The Weeks “Buttons” Long time rock act The Weeks has a passionate underground following. “Buttons” is one of those tracks that shows off why that following isn’t wrong. Perfect in its dynamics and melodic in both its choruses and its verses (the hook is great) – just a solid rock tune.

Chance The Rapper “No Problem” 2016’s hip-hop darling, “No Problem” will be one of Chance’s iconic tracks. Its beat is fun and inventive but not too far off in left field and then its hook, which many recent hip-hop tracks have seem to actively avoid is catchy as hell. It’s a great hope that hip-hop can stay melodic and still push boundaries.
