Closeups w info under cut
Someone comes into Airy's office, and they get stared at, and then he misdiagnoses their issue/gives them a bunch of crackers saying, "You're hungry." No matter what you come in with, if it isn't a visible injury, Airy assumes you haven't eaten enough
Mephone4 and affiliated TAs probably run all the computer related classes as well, depending on curriculum, including coding classes, keyboarding, and classes that are just for certification (ex. Microsoft..?? Idk I took that class like last year. I miss coding classes, but the teacher SUCKED!!)
Mepad... we've all had the very, very tall TA who just wants to help, yeah? That's Mepad
Mephone4 DOES NOT want to do this with his life. He spends any time he can to watch reality TV and puts 'Just Dance' on for any grade level students
4S surprisingly would have knowledge imo. He'd call the students stupid and give them the harshest feedbsck, but he'd get the job done. Most definitely a shouter.
Floory would be along for the ride. Go, Floory, unqualified TA goals!!
Animatic runs every Psychical Ed Class. Works students to the bone, does the workouts alongside them, and still has energy to be found taking a jog after school
Crayon box's subject was an easy pick... the crayons would be TAs, I just didn't have the room for them, so I gave her the earrings !!
Popcorn sucks at his whole thing. She'll assign roles and stuff but give no notes or constructive criticism. Always arguing worthless shit over the phone in class, something wild happening every other day
Daddy Longerson is band because Sacri makes music. Also, he doesn't play an instrument. He does acappella. (Cue the elimination theme)
All of Clock's classes would start with "IT'S TIME FOR THE TIME," and then they'd say, "The world spins round, and time... time-"
Underrated X fact, also why I think of em as genderfluid >:]
X relies on positive reinforcement for teaching, whereas Four goes for verbal punishment, etc. X still isn't good at math. Just relies on Four, but the students still like X more for being nice.
Donut was probably a substitute teacher, Two is off being a luncher, Announcer may or may not be the principal. Idk, I haven't seen bfdi, bfb, tpot, etc, just algebralien comps.

hai good friend,, tell me about mai. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of her before… look what we are doing to our beautiful queens 😔
YIPEE I love when me going insane about a character for a day makes you curious about them... especially cus atp I can kind of predict what is going to pique ur interest
ok ok: so, Mai. She's 1/3 of Azula's Evil Girl Group, colloquially known as Ozai's Angels, and thats the context you see her in for most of the show which is why it's important to know. You know how all cartoons in the 2000s HAD to have ONE morose goth chic? Well she is atla's quota. She's a noble, she's an only child (THEE only child. The first only child they made at the only child factory <33), she fights with 🔪KNIVES 🔪!!! she's Zuko's canonical comphet love interest and she has a very understated but underrated arc..
Her role/arc in the show:
I mentioned Ozai's Angels because her interactions with Azula and Ty Lee are the real meat and potatoes of her character. They're like... baby's first toxic yuri love triangle <3333 REALLY can't overstate how toxic yuri love triangle they are. Mai and Ty Lee end up betraying Azula in season 3 which is both the climax (imo) of Mai's arc and the inciting action for Azula's descent (but we're not getting into Azula never ask me to get into Azula please). A lot of people reduce Mai going turncoat to JUST being about saving Zuko - and like partially it IS. She saves Zuko from dying because she loves/cares about him and that's a big part of it.
But it's ALSO about her finding her voice ?? Like throughout the show we NEVER see her voice opinions about something unless it's to say that she's bored, or jaded, or what have you. She never seems to have strong feelings about anything; her stated reasoning for joining Azula's Imperialism Girl Band is because she's bored living with her parents 💀 but it's like. It becomes clear to the audience later in the show that she was raised to never speak unless spoken to, to mask emotions, etc etc LIEKKK SHE'S SOOO REPRESSED ONLY CHILD SHE'S SO WOMAN TM... So her telling Azula "I love Zuko more than I fear you" was THEE cuntiest moment EVER because it's like oh shit ?? this is something pretty unexpected from this character ?? Waow so crazy so cunt ??
A lot of people point out that she and Ty Lee never really got a "ohhhh Imperialism is bad" arc like Zuko did but. imo there wasn't a whole lot of room in the show for it lol. Would have been something interesting to explore in the comics for sure !! but uhmmm I'd rather walk into the ocean than watch Gene Luen Yang try and write about imperialism and colonialism again so maybe its better we never got that.. (no offense to him he's just... not that great at doing it in the atla comics...not his strength..)
Her reception in fandom:
She's usually only ever talked about in the context of being Zuko's love interest (either positively OR negatively) hence my post that you saw. Like. Victim Numero Uno of zutara/kataang shipping wars cus at least a bunch of people LIKE Aang whereas people either ignore or actively dislike her.
There's often discourse about like. Who's the "toxic" one in the Mai/Zuko pairing and it's annoying when she gets flak for it cus like newsflash: they both are. My GOD they both are. They've canonically broken up twice. They're the emo boy/goth girl pairing. They're cute together. They're miserable together. They're both homosexual. You get it.
Also a lot of times people just call her boring or emotionless and it's like congrats !! you have fallen for her facade... in conclusion... sorry this is so long uhm.. your fault for asking me though... how long is it going to take until I've just told you the entire plot of this cartoon piecemeal ask by ask...
#mai atla#allgremlinasks#north tag#every time I get one of these I'm like 'UGH idk 🙄 idk how to say this UGH. anyway here's my essay on-'#its so embarrassing hope you know that.

what’s the idea behind your username
Hello! Thanks for asking! 💜
I originally came up with it when I was very active in the blink-182 fandom. My favorite song of theirs has always been (and I'm guessing will always be) Stockholm Syndrome (very underrated imo) and the name of the guy that joined the band after Tom Delonge left it in 2015 is Matt Skiba, so I combined the two :)
I used to come up with new URLs for every new fandom I joined, but at this point this one has been with me for what, 9 years? I kinda grew attached to it lmao
#stockholm syndrom forever fucking beloved song#matt skiba forever impressed with your lyrical abilities#anon#answered

Nobody asked but over the last couple of days I decided to listen through every mainline Skinny Puppy album (all formal LPs + Remission which is for some reason considered an EP, never fully understood that) from beginning to end in order of release. I've listened to all these albums 5 billion times and know them more or less by heart but it occurred to me after the last show that I don't know if I've ever done this.
After each album I wrote a little Twitter-sized review of it and highlighted a few standout songs. This is, of course, because I originally did this on Twitter. It was a really fun little post-concert activity so I figured I would share it here too.
Maybe even a good introduction if I still have any followers putting off checking them out...? 👀
Remission (1984). The one that started it all. Kind of. Simpler than the rest maybe but still so iconic. “Far Too Frail” continues to be my favorite, hearing it live for one of the encores blew my mind. “Film” as the encore opener also brought tears to my eyes.
Bites (1985). Still simpler than later outputs but also still a classic. Has a ton of really underrated instrumental-heavy/atmospheric tracks, and “The Choke” and “Last Call” are perfect songs. “Assimilate” is legendary but unfortunately gets hardcore overplayed lol.
Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse (1986). The addition of DRG is palpable. SP starts coming into their own and sounding less like a Cabaret Voltaire tribute band. Lol. Moodier, more complex, and lush with dark soundscapes. “God’s Gift (Maggot)” is one of the best.
Cleanse Fold and Manipulate (1987). From the first beat of “First Aid” onwards, this is one of THEE quintessential Skinny Puppy albums. IMO the real start of their “golden era.” Contains some of my favorite songs of ALL time. “Addiction” is easily a no contest top 5 SP track.
VIVI SECT VI (1988). One of the greatest. Noxious war zones, sterile hospitals, choking, burning, cold clanging cages in animal laboratories. One of the darkest, most nightmarishly psychedelic, heaviest, absolutely masterfully crafted albums. “VX Gas Attack” remains unparalleled.
Rabies (1989). Hi Al. This album just oozes sex appeal. I never get tired of it. It has a deranged masculine militaristic machine gun energy unlike anything else. I’ll never tire of “Hexonxonx,” “Worlock,” or “Tin Omen.” And ending on the dreamy delirious “Spahn Dirge”… Goddamn.
Too Dark Park (1990). A lot of people call this one THE supreme SP album. It’s legendary. Pure unadulterated Skinny Puppy. Sounds like home. An endless barrage of chaos and stormy monstrous polluted amorphous landscapes. “Grave Wisdom” is an all time favorite ever.
Last Rights (1992). The most utterly mindblowing devastating masterpiece of an album maybe ever made. The cohesiveness of the themes, sounds, lyrics, imagery—pure art. It’s a terrifying and desolate hellscape. Flung into sonic Knowhere. “Mirror Saw” is pure perfect transcendence.
The Process (1996). I have some trouble with this album—It can just make me very sad. You can both feel and hear the devastating loss. Barren and hopeless. Still, it’s TEEMING with absolutely rocking, heavy, guttural bangers. “Cult,” “Blue Serge,” and “Curcible” stand out.
The Greater Wrong of the Right (2004). A personal fave. Forever enthralled by the dreary smoking futuristic cityscapes painted by the various textures across each track. An epic journey through destruction of civilization and the mind. “Goneja” is an easy top 5 SP song for me.
Mythmaker (2007). Used to struggle with it, was even my least favorite, but it’s grown on me and I love it. A high octane reality-bending journey through alien dimensions and human mythos. If Ogre’s alien Other belonged to an album it’d be this one. I adore “Dal” and “Pedafly.”
HanDover (2011). Grossly underrated and constantly written off, I ADORE this album. It captures a sort of dreamlike melancholic sharp surrealism unmatched by anything else, like rain falling softly atop a rusting metallic dystopia. “Gambatte” is a stand-out forever favorite.
Weapon (2013). A fitting end. Nostalgic familiarity rejuvenated with sharp crispness. This one taps deep into my imagination; post-apocalyptic fantastical mechanical wastelands haunted by ghosts of the past. “Plasicage” is an all-time fave, and I love the reimagined “Solvent.”

Some of my favorite Lostwave Songs - Solved and Unsolved
For those looking for cool obscure music, lostwave is your friend! Don't mind me geeking out about unidentified or previously unidentified music aaa!
Solved -
Making Dedication by First Person - Probably my favorite lostwave song period. Beautiful lyrics. I found it took me a few listens before I really started appreciating it.
Cyan Daze by Chimera - THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY SLAMMIN' IT'S SO GOOOOOOD.
L.A. Woman by P.J. Marcus - If I had a nickel for every time I really loved a song called "L.A. Woman", I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
The Livin' and the Dyin' by Jim Dawson - Really beautiful song and an early lostwave solve!
On the Roof by Johan Lindell - The original "most mysterious song on the internet". Absolutely slammin'.
Traveling Minstrel by Richard Torrance - No fish.
Bird On a Wing by Rare Bird - Absolutely bangin' song, lovin' this dude's voice.
Common Hound by The Blind Venetians - Another early lostwave solve and absolutely awesome song.
Early in the Morning (Demo Version) by Excalibur - Much better than the final version imo. This song makes me feel like a 80s wizard shooting lightning out of his hands, which is extremely high praise if you ask me.
Little Islands by The Gallery - Great song with an emotional story behind its search. I'm so happy it's finally solved.
Ready n' Steady by D.A. - Not a unidentified song but a lost song! Well, now it's found but you get the idea. Deserved a release imo.
George Sand by Antonia and the Operators - Bangin' song. I wish there was more by this band they're so good honestly???
Organ by Jon Lord - This was solved in like 10 seconds but still worth putting on here. I love a good neo-classical piece.
Unsolved -
"The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" - You know I had to put this here.
"Fond My Mind" - Another classic lostwave song. They gotta solve this and TMMS eventually right? RIGHT???
"Wait Forever" - Very ethereal sounding. I really love this one. It's possibly by a German band called the In Tensions or the Intentions but there's no record of them anywhere online?
"Deluded" - Probably one of my favorites. This song SLAPS. The vocalist's performance is delightfully unhinged.
"Baby It's Not Too Late" - Song from an... *ahem* adult film, that's absolutely slammin'. A lot of vintage porn has great music for some reason??? Unfortunately this is likely unsolvable.
"I'm Almost In Love" - Another vintage porn song. This song has an absolutely awesome saxophone and keyboard part??? Also I have no idea why Barni used a picture of some pandas but I'm not complaining. Unfortunately this may be unsolvable.
"Losing My Patience" - Possibly from a porn film??? It's got that energy. I love the guitar solo here.
"Fly Away" - Another famous lostwave, this time from Japan! Despite the slightly unnerving tone, the lyrics are quite mundane???
"Light the Lanterns" - Sometimes called "The Third Most Mysterious Song on the Internet". I love the surreal lyrics.
"Writing from the Train" - Underrated lostwave song. Switches between two different languages for some reason???
"One More Chance" - I really like this one because I feel it has vintage anime vibes for some reason???
"Cat Swimming Guitar Solo" - Awesome guitar solo and Barni put a picture of a cat swimming for some reason, so exactly what it says on the tin!
There's so many more lostwave songs I wanna gush about so I might do a part 2???

So you want to listen to Alice Nine? (prt. 3)
Moving on with my suggestions for potential new Number Sixes (I took my sweet time, I know, but time and mood are two big issues of mine), cause summarizing their work in one post was impossible, let’s dive into the final era (again based on how I personally separated them).
The years after PSC (2014-hiatus, From “Ginga no Woto” to “Grace”)
Self-explanatory, the following songs are from stuff they released after leaving PSC, a time during which they experimented the most and walked away from their signature sound, which worked for some and for others didn't. If you're a new fan, choosing to start from this era might be easier for you than a returning fan who's set some expectations, but I want to show everyone, regardless, that they kept releasing amazing songs, which fell under most fans' radar, turning them into a severely underrated band.
Reminder: the songs I use in these posts aren't those I necessarily consider their best works, I focus more on what's easier to listen to for a new listener.
Let's go:
youtube
Phoenix was one of the first songs they released as an independent band, hence why it's a song closest to the style they were known for, until then, and a very easy first listen, imo. Personally I took my time getting used to it, but now I wonder how it didn't work for me right away, cause it is rather addicting.
youtube
Oh you like guitars? This might be a good starter for you. I love this song and the guitars give me chills every time. It was different for them, had speaking parts, a certain type of thrill to it, and I wish I could have experienced it live. If you have a good sound system, turn up the volume. These guitar sequences are meant to be listened to, loudly.
youtube
Now this was very different, but it's chill, it's fun, it's sth to go for a walk to, dance in your room on a weekend morning, even do your chores to. xD It's an easy and beautiful first listen I think.
youtube
Hands down one of their cuter and more fun songs and concept mvs, but maybe I'm biased cause it felt like a song devoted to the several eras of rock and their own fanbase. I don't know. It's laid back, it's playful and definitely sth I'd enjoy if my journey as their fan had started in this era.
youtube
A must-listen imo. Youtube's sound compression is killing me but...it's still good as is. If you get your hands on the album, it will sound even better, trust.
youtube
*Aggressive nodding* Yes yes, press that play button! Especially if you love bass lines, this is your song. My sister calls this song a hymn and she doesn't listen to much from vkei bands, so... xD. It's one of my favorite songs, too, and the kind I think could probably capture you as a first listener as well.
youtube
While this isn't sth you will see more than 3 times in their discography, cause they generally didn't use folk sounds in their songs, it's a banger and worth a listen early on, on your journey.
youtube
Sit back, chill and let's go on a trip, cause this is exactly the vibe this song gives xD. Nostalgia, car rides, 70s or 80s too, maybe.
youtube
This sounds so 80s or 90s fun in Tokyo for me, I don't know xD. It's giving fun with friends. Maybe's just me. But another goodie to start with.
youtube
This song was from a series of single releases they made in 2021, for which each member was to compose one song. I don't remember whose this one was, but it was my favorite so I thought of sharing.
And we've reached the end of my recommendations for Alice Nine newbies.
I didn't hit the video limit for this post, yes, cause this era, I will admit, is the hardest to get into. Again, I don't think this was a bad era, I found plenty of songs I liked from it too, but because they experimented with so many different sounds, if you're the type who listens to only few genres, you might be bothered by it. Personally I listen to pretty much every genre, so as long as sth sounds good to me, I'm going to listen to it. ^^'>
I hope you find sth you like, if not, it’s ok, you might enjoy sth from other eras. But well, if you still don’t find sth, we all like different things, it’s alright, but yeah, this was an attempt to entice more people listen to one of my favorite bands, Alice Nine (their final era before hiatus, according to my understanding, at least).

I really liked your answer about missing horror in Käärijä/JO fics, I wanna hear more! <3 do you have some ideas what would make it good?
also 🍌
I'll answer the fruit ask first and then share some ideas!! :D
what's the funniest joke/reference you've made in your fics?
I generally don't rlly pay attention to humor in my fics tbh, if an idea for a funny moment or dialogue comes to me in the moment I'll write it but otherwise jokes are usually accidental. But something that does come to mind is the subtle running joke in the deaf! Jere AU that Kris is still the only single in the group lmao Also in stalker! Tommy, writing Tommy as being shocked and dejected whenever Jere reacts badly to him doing something evil like killing people is extremely funny to me like what did bro expect 😭☠️
Anyways here's some horror concepts for JO/Kä crew 👀
Stalking in general I feel is a great concept for psychological horror. Whether it be one of the JO/Ka members themselves or stories where the fans are the obsessive ones. I was going to do a stalker! Jan one but I also think a fic where the band/Ka crew have to deal with parasocial fans could be very interesting. I wouldn't think of it as villainizing fans but more so calling out the sometimes scary behavior some people have towards their idols. The more realistically written, the better imo
I'm also very obsessed with doppelganger horror. I wrote a short doppelganger Käärijä story back in the summer but I think this concept would also be super interesting with Häärijä as the evil clone/copy. He's such a comedic relief and unserious character so it'd be very cool to see him in a scarier role like trying to steal Jere's identity etc
Another concept is body horror with Jere but I do feel more hesitant about that one because I was thinking of it in a medical context. How horrific it is to feel your body slowly decaying and that you become weaker and weaker. This one would have to be written very tastefully and considerate though because it's a real trauma Jere went through and I wouldn't just want it to be something written for shock value or gore. But I do think horror is an underrated way to portray those topics
Hope these were interesting anon! ^_^ If anyone wants to experiment with any of these concepts absolutely feel free to btw!!

Hello, please may you recommend five of your favourite albums to me, as I am still recovering from my dark era of "just outsource it, get someone else to pick the music" of the last thirty yrs and I wish to learn :)
I haven't been as active about seeking out music these days, but I really want to start doing it again! I used to be *very* good at it, so if you'd like tips, happy to share!!!
In terms of my five favorite albums... These are a little arbitrary because I have too many, but I decided to focus on albums that I consider to be really strong from beginning to end. So, in no particular order:
Draw Down the Moon by Foxing: Foxing is Midwest emo-adjacent, so this one speaks to my nostalgia a bit. It's a gorgeous album in the post-rock vein, so it's got a lot of really lovely texture. Also features the culmination of nearly 10 year long recurring albatross imagery which absolutely demolished me the first time I heard it.
The Million Masks of God by Manchester Orchestra: Manchester Orchestra has been around for like 20 years now, and it's been really fun to watch their music change over time. As a post rock lover, this is my favorite album by them (the album is not really post rock, but listen, it's post rock adjacent.)
Historian by Lucy Dacus: A beautiful album with some real gut punches of songs. Lucy Dacus is frequently associated with Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker (they all make up the band boygenius), but tbh I don't find her style all that similar to theirs -- She has a much more energetic approach to melody as well as instrumentation in general, and lyrically, she's a lot more hopeful.
Crushing by Julia Jacklin: Severely underrated imo! Singer/songwriter with some indie pop and folk influences. If you like Historian, you'll probably like this album, too.
The Winter of Mixed Drinks by Frightened Rabbit: A weirdly hopeful album about overcoming depression that rewired my brain in college. I find this one kind of hard to listen to these days (the leader singer killed himself back in 2018, god it's been 6 years--), but it's gotten easier. It's a good fucking album!
Bonus: Because Some Things Cannot Happen Enough by Tomasz Bednarczyk. I intentionally left instrumental albums out of the above list because they take up a very different space in my brain but like... holy shit it's such a good instrumental album. The textures.... Pop on a good pair of headphones for this one if you can.
#i also want to suggest the band hop along#i find all of their albums to be pretty inconsistent so they didn't make the cut#but they've got some great songs#alsoooo if you have a specific genre you like - let me know and i can pull out some deep cuts lol#i'm partial to the indie rock space but i genuinely listen to a bit of everything#anyway thanks for sending this - this was fun it to think about!!#gonna start seeking out new bands again maybe...#ask

13. the song with the most peculiar sound: tsundere kfc murder chicks? i think backxwash has a very unique sound also so i lie here buried with my rings and dresses and terror packets might also fit.
14. underrated song: umm i think bomb the music industry [band name] is pretty underrated. even winning feels bad is my favorite of theirs and my #10. backxwash as previously mentioned is also majorly slept on imo
15. most danceable track: idfk makes me wonder by maroon 5????
16. a song everyone should know: i wouldnt wish my music taste upon anyone. umm see underrated tracks i mentioned for the most sensible recs. theres some really famous songs on here so its like. well everyone probably already does know these. anyways you should listen to how you remind me by nickelback #95

25. favorite lyrics of your #100 song:
26. favorite bassline. as if i remember the basslines of every song on this damn list

-- abba
my fav authors ::
-- agatha christie

-- fyodor dostoevsky
my ranking of DL boys ::
-- kanato is obv number one, i rly love his more feminine design and i believe we need more characters that look like him in media. maybe bc my type is more feminine boys but idk. i love his personality asw he's batshit insane and needs immediate professional help. underrated
-- subaru is a surprising one for me, as i often forgot he existed while watching the anime but his route in hdb was rly cute and he's such a tsun tsun which is adorable
-- a few yrs ago reiji was EXACTLY my type and i still appreciate his character archetype quite a lot. he's also one of the meanest of the brothers i love that abt him (i would cry on the spot if he scolded me)
-- shu is pretty cute and i rly like his personality as well. he also has his weird moments like everyone else but i think he had the closest thing to a healthy relationship w yui so that's cool. he's also super relatable
-- laito was actually my second favourite before hdb, but holy fucking shit is his route messed up. the anime did NOT do a good job portraying how deranged this man is. i still like him but his constant horniness and raging misogyny [more so than the others] are huge turnoffs
-- ayato was always pretty low on the list, and after seeing his route my opinion didn't change much. i don't dislike anything in particular abt him, he's just not the type of character i usually like. i don't rly like him with yui either for that reason, so yeah

Everyone talks about Steve Perry, and rightfully so. But, let's talk about Neal, Gregg, Jonathan, Ross and Steve S. for a moment.
The Evolution/Departure era I think was Neal Schon's greatest time as a guitar player culminating in his work on Escape. After that, his tone and his style of play began to change and IMO, not for the better. Today, Neal's tone has lost much of its signature mellow yet, biting characteristics and his god like talent is hidden behind layers of delay, chorus, reverb, sustainers all topped with an almost novice-like fascination with the whammy bar. Yes, Neal Schon was one of the first to use a Floyd Rose back in the early 80's, especially on a Les Paul. His status as a pioneer and innovator cannot be questioned. I get it. But, it seems as though he's using the whammy on just about every single note these days. Its a little much. He is still one of the greatest players out there and is one of my all time favorite guitar players. But, with his caliber of talent, we shouldn't have to squint through all of the effects to glimpse that talent.
And then, there's Gregg Rollie. He is perhaps one of the most unsung and underrated members of the band, past or present. His vocals meshed with Steve Perry's vocals like no other. His keyboard playing, especially when it came to blues, was unmatched. He added a writing quality to the songs that gave the band their pre-Escape signature jazzy/bluesy sound. There are few other keyboard players who can play a Hammond B3 like him.
And then we have Jonathan Cain. In his own right, he is an exceptional musician. There is no question that from the Escape album forward, Journey gathered most of their commercial success. But, the depth of Cain's influence would not be completely realized until Frontiers, which was a commercial hit, but, musically, not really their best work, especially side two. Frontiers clearly signaled the beginning of Journey's transition away from their biting, bluesy/jazzy sound to a more keyboard and synthesizer oriented sound. But, there were a few tracks that were not commercial hits where the band still rocked - Troubled Child, Edge of the Blade, Chain Reaction and Rubicon, for instance. For better or for worse, we can thank Jonathan Cain for that. With every album release after Raised on Radio and especially after Perry's departure (no punny intended), lyrically, Journey's songs became more like love letters written by broken hearted teenagers set to music than anything we had come to expect from veteran rockers of this caliber. Thanks in large part to the stylings of Jonathan Cain and the exodus of Steve Smith and Ross Valory, there was nothing to prevent Jonathan Cain's "after school special" style of song writing from taking over. Not even hard rockin Neal Schon could completely contain Cain's sappy song writing.
Then there's Steve Smith. But, we can't really mention Steve Smith without mentioning Ross Valory. These two were and are one of the best rhythm sections in all of rock music. No one really pays much attention to the base lines or the subtle and finessed genius of Steve Smith's playing. Take a few minutes and cue up some of Journey's older stuff and have a listen. Paying close attention to the exquisite rhythm work. Ross Valory is one of the best bass players in the game and Smith is one of the greatest drummers you will ever hear in a rock band. I promise that once you listen to and notice their playing, you will never hear another Journey tune the same away again.
As an honorable mention, we have to include Aynsley Dunbar. Without a doubt Dunbar was and is a great drummer. He had a very large part in developing the band's early sound. Few people know this, but, after Journey, Ansley Dunbar's distinctive style and playing can be heard with a variety of musicians from David Bowie to White Snake. His list of appearances is really quite astonishing.
What I'm not going to do is include the Steve Perry "clones" that have fronted the band. In all fairness, Arnel Pineda and Steve Augeri in their own rights are very talented singers. But, their strength and their curse is the fact they both sound like Perry but, without the "magic." In any other band, these two singers would've probably been very successful. But, putting them at the helm of Journey and sounding like Steve Perry came off as borderline creepy. It made the band look like they were going through some serious separation anxiety. Nevertheless, with Arnel Pineda, Journey has tapped into the nostalgia market and they have generated some great success. After all, there are a lot of people out there that are willing to pay good money to see some very good karaoke.
With Steve Perry pushing 70, Neal Schon in his mid 60's and the rest of the band in their mid to late 60's, its very doubtful that even with Steve Perry's recent comeback, we will ever see this band get back together for any reunion. But, we can still remain faithfully hopeful that the party's not over and they will be feeling that way towards some sort of reunion. Perhaps there will be some miracle after the fall that these guys will welcome the notion of a reunion with open arms and stay awhile. Perhaps someday soon, they will play some magic together one last time after all these years and each one of us will lament to ourselves "why can't this night go on forever?"

hi! you asked for marauders fic recs so im here to give you some :)
idk if you’ve read these or any yet, so they might seem kinda basic. they’re just to introduce you to this world/the characters. i wish i had a list like this when i first got into the marauders fandom ngl
also these are only gonna be marauders era fics, if you want golden trio era fics as well, i can give you some!
anyway:
all the young dudes by mskingbean89 (completed, 527k words, wolfstar & jily): this is THE marauders fic for most ppl, and i just think of it as what happened canonically. no fic is perfect, but this should be every1’s first marauders era fic imo (you might’ve read this already cuz it’s SO popular). its from remus’ pov and it follows him throughout hogwarts and until (i think) poa or ootp
the wolf’s tail by myheadsgonenumb (wip, 457k words, no ships yet but prob wolfstar & jily): this one’s pretty underrated imo, and it’s SO WELL WRITTEN!!! this also follows remus throughout hogwarts. however id say the diff between this and atyd is that (so far at least) it focuses more on the war side of the marauders era, even when they are still young and at hogwarts. so if you’re interested in how actually dark and dangerous the times were back then, even for children, you will like this one! the only thing ill say for this is that its kinda very descriptive at points (ex. there’s a lot of newspaper clippings, book quotes, interview transcripts etc) but you can just gloss over them if you think they’re not that important. rn i think their 5th year just started, so keep that in mind (its gonna be a long one)!
the cadence of part-time poets by motswolo (completed, 980k words, wolfstar & jily): AAAAAAHHHH this one is my ALL TIME FAV (marauders era) FIC <33333 this is a muggle au, so no magic! this is also a remus pov (😭) and he goes to hawkings (which is basically hogwarts) in his (i think??) 4th year? or younger? smt like that :,). this fic also has my fav oc (tomny) hehe. as the tags say, its a band fic/au, but i’ll spoil no more!
the making of the map by fox_pitch (completed, 79k words, wolfstar & jily): this is a shorter one, but its also rlyyy good. pretty sure this starts and ends in their sixth year, but as the title suggests, its how the marauders map come to exist! its also how wolfstar gets together and its very cute and wholesome. the ending is kinda ambiguous in the sense that it doesn’t give any hints as to if anything changes in this fic’s universe’s future, but id assume not.
choices by messermoon (completed, 624k words, jegulus, wolfstar & jily): i kinda assumed you wanted the “canon” ships (aka jily and wolfstar) but if you’re interested in jegulus (james potter/regulus black) then this one is prob for you. i personally haven’t finished this fic, but ik its a jegulus classic/canon, just like atyd is for jily (& wolfstar). this one follows james, and it doesn’t start on his first year i think. it has alternating povs as well! however, as the tags warn, it is canon compliant, aka reg dies in the end, so do w that what you will :,)
only the brave by solmussa (completed, 646k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, rosekiller & pandalily): this is another jegulus fic! it has started being considered a classic and if you read it, you’ll understand why. this also does not start from their first year, and this one also has alternating povs! i love the writing and just general concept/plot of this one; i don’t love jegulus but i was still HOOKED w this fic, so yes. its rly good. and as you can see w the tags, this is a happy ending (aka, reg lives)!!!!! mwah love those.
art heist, baby! by otrbs (completed, 219k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, alice/frank longbottom - idk their ship name): i also have not read this fic, but ive only heard good things about it (and some sobs but that’s what you get for “major character death” : ) )! i know the ending of it tho, and it is kinda sad, so prepare yourself. it is a muggle au, and they basically wanna pull an art heist? yup lets go w that simple explanation.
that’s it for now bahhaha, and its a LOT, so enjoy! if you want shorter ones, i also have some i can show you, and if you’ve read these, lmk if you like them! <3
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏 Ur my savior bro. I'm abt to finish ATYD and I started reading The Making of the Map per your suggestion because it was short enough to download a pdf to read in class 💀💀 I really like both of them!! I need to psych myself up to read some of the 500k+ fics tho bc atyd took me so long 😭😭😭 I'll let you know how I find the rest of them ^^ TYY!!!

Tagged by... @flamingplay in: listing 9 albums of 2023! Hey, thanks, pal and merry Christmas ;) <3.
1-. Náufrago by Siddhartha: it's such a fucking cool album, very personal imo. I've fell in love with him recently and it's one of his bets albums.
2-. Únicos by Siddhartha: yeah, I just got obssesed. And I love this album because matchs perfectly with my feelings for my boyfriend (hehe, lysm Luka <33).
3-. Moctezuma by Porter: OMJ, this is a fucking master piece, like, it's about my country, it has indigenous musical influence (yes!!) and talks about a historical topic such as the Spanish Conquest. And with its ending, always so nostalgic, it reminds me of my history classes when I was a child.
4-. Cosmophonic by Robersonic: okay. This dude is underrated. This album doesn't have a single phrase in any of its songs and yet it shines on its own.
5-. Everyday Life by Coldplay: such. a. perfect. album.
6-. X & Y by Coldplay: yeah, more Coldplay. I think it is one of the band's best albums that they themselves hate it so much ;(.
7-. Viva la Vida or Death and All of His Friends by Coldplay: I must say that I'm Mexican and this album is fucking inspired in British history from the 1700s-1800s, and I understand it perfectly because, in my childhood, I watched a (British) program called Horrible Histories and... I've always been a fan of history, so I loved that detail in the album and in the entire atmosphere/aesthetics of the era!
8-. Lover by Taylor Swift: I'm not a fan of Taylor or I particularly enjoy hers music. But a friend of mine (and my boyfriend!) recommended (forced) me to listen to this album, and I quite enjoyed it.
9-. Lámina Once by El Cuarteto de Nos: it's a short but really fantastic album, with a mix of genres and styles that has always marked the Cuarteto.
