HP Rec Fest 2024 - Day Seven ❄️ the best of your OTP @hprecfest

Look. I'm indecisive and I really don't think that I can ever pick one. That why I have freaking extensive rec lists. So I'm cheating and will give a "off the top of my head, rec only 5 fics" and I still feel pressure.

•crimson rivers by bizarrestars

• the standard book of spells by Imparfait

•the Sea is a good place series by peachyybabe

•orange juice (i've been ready for you to come home for so long) by raggedypond

•my jokes are my armour, my kindness is my sword by littleoldrachel

And the deer in the headlights "I have to choose????" might would change a bit based on the day. Bc there are so many wonderful fics that have impacted me and that give different characteristics and aspects of their relationship. Anyways. That's what I have today. So...

I also struggle with "best of" label but still wanted to do it and I totally get the spirit of the day/rec

I CANNOT EMPHASISE ENOUGH THAT MY BODY

IS A BADLY DESIGNED, POORLY PUT TOGETHER VESSEL

HARBOURING THESE DIMINISHING SO-CALLED 'VITAL ORGANS'

I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST

I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST

We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, Los Campesinos (2008)

We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed but we are, on the whole, much, much more doomed. Los Campesinos’ sophomore saw their view of the world deteriorate; their relationships all bitter and hopeless, their actions misanthropic, the futures consisting of little, if anything, to look forward to. And isn’t that like quite the same for a lot of us, really?

Pick: ‘Miserabilia’

Los Campesinos! lyrics about fondness hit so hard

[bedroomcloset]

i fucking love We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed by Los Campesinos! like it's such a fucking awesome song and this is me telling you to listen to it

[itrustmydiscoverweekly]

This week I listened to "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed"

"We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed" is a lovely little album by Los Campesinos, a lovely little emo band out of a lovely little country (Wales)

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 out of 5 stars) I liked this one a lot! I'm already an established Lovejoy fan since day one of "Are You Alright?", and Los Campesinos are most definitely a major influence on Lovejoy, so I found this album very natural to get into and enjoy.

Anyways, opinion time! These are my top 3 (as always, no particular order, just the order as they appear on the album)

"Miserbilia" is a brilliant track that does the classic heavy lyrics and a pop/happy sound. I love the way this song goes from quiter sections to very loud choruses. I also love the way the singers' voices mesh together on this track. That is a big strength of this band.

"You'll Need Those Fingers For Crossing" really stands out to me for the lyrics, what they mean and how they sound and function within the song. I also really enjoys the rhythms throughout this song, particularly the intro, and how they fit together.

"It's Never That Easy Though, Is It? (Song For the Other Kurt)" is such a good song composition wise. I LOVE the structure of this song and the lyrics resonate a lot for me, it's a fun, and very real, type of "breakup" song. And again, I really love how the singers blend their voices together.

And onto the honorable mentions 🥳🥳🥳

"Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #1" is a fun little song I love how the lyrics flow in this one and I cannot get enough of this band's instrumentals. I especially love they way the line "Do you kiss your mummy's lips with that mouth" fits into the song

"Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time" I love mostly for it's intro and how it fits with the previous song but very much establishes it's own identity. I also like the drums on this track and how they play such an important role but really are quite basic. I also like all the background noises on this track.

The ONLY way to listen to listen to miserbillia is with headphones on full blast

favorite lc! song and whyyyy

i feel like it changes from time to time depending on my mood or if a certain song is stuck in my head. but i think allez les blues is my all-time favorite still. sticking by it. it's my most listened to track for a reason, i suppose.

as for the whyyyy... i am terrible at being introspective (or whatever) about my interests when given the chance to talk about them. it's awful. but i dunno, i like the lyrics. i like the vocals, especially kim's (i believe it's kim singing, yes?). i like the instrumentals. it makes my ears happy.

also, to me, i feel like there's something inherently petty about the song. i love the attitude behind it.

whoever did the violins in its never that easy though, is it? (song for the other kurt) is amazing thank you so much for your service

[peruseanduse]

"haha yeah i'm doing pretty good mentally!" i say, hitting replay on the same los campesinos song for the 4th time

Fic has me emotional on a Thursday afternoon. (we are beautiful, we are doomed by peachyybabe)

all he could think about now was going to be having to say goodbye. Six months. If he did nothing, his goodbye would be in six months. I was meant to love you and always keep

And

He didn’t want to have to make a decision on if he wanted to continue his life or fill it with poison in a weak attempt to kill off the tumor. He didn’t want to have to sit his child down, look them in the eyes and tell them that their dad has cancer again and this time he most likely wasn’t going to survive it.

Spoilers I guess?

“No…no surgery. I’m sorry.”“Why are you apologizing? It’s your choice and your body, Rem.”“Are you mad that I’m giving up?”“You’re not giving up, sweetheart. You’ve fought for so long and you’ve done everything you’re comfortable doing. You’ve done chemo three times, had two massive surgeries, tried a whole pharmacy worth of drugs. That’s not giving up…it’s alright you don’t want to take this surgery.”“I’m going to die, Tonks…”Remus whispered, the words bitter on his tongue. “I’m really going to die this time…”  “Oh, Rem…”She let out a soft sigh. “I’m so sorry…I wish I could just scoop you up into a hug right now and take you away to some place better.”
