Teenagers absolutely count as children lololol I am so with you, I’m really hoping for some grown woman music to go with this grown woman cover! This doesn’t need to be FOR them!!
me too!!! part of folklore's appeal to me (of which there is boundless appeal and it's perhaps her most perfect album by my own tastes but i've been going on about that for a long time so i won't bore you) is that it was a huge contrast to the lover stuff that literally sounded like songs for a kids movie soundtrack at times ladkfjsdkf. and i love the highs of lover! but it felt like goddamn woman you're 30!! why are you STILL doing this??? and so i'm hoping to see if this album picks up a bit where folklore left off, both in sound but also in concept and how folklore was an examination of the craft of crafting songs as stories. creating worlds. really putting thought and maturity into the lyrics to explore adult themes. me and my friend agree that it looks like it could be folklore's sexier younger sister that lives in the east village and makes bedroom pop.
but i was also DEAD wrong about midnights so i have no idea honestly and my expectations are zero cuz this could literally be anything.

Almost done reading Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm (my e-book says it's 80% through).
Koba's backstory is so SAD. He was such a nice bonobo. We never saw a baby Koba, like we did with Ceasar. I needed to put the picture in my brain on paper...

My favourite moment in the whole httyd franchise is when Hiccup is building Toothless's tail. I love when we see him work his projects. I imagine him working late often at the firelight.

you know the excellent quadruple life fan comic has me thinking about double life again. and MAN. thinking about the soul bonds mechanically. like, before I get into my meta-analysis it’s worth noting that non-diagetically the soulbond mechanic being based on how many hearts someone has is basically the only way I can think to do it in minecraft that’s sensible, but diagetically…
so do you ever think about how the marker of what made people soulmates in double life was pain?
like, soulmates share injuries/pain! that’s the whole premise! like, to the point that day one people were making up elaborate ways to hurt themselves so they could test for their soulmates! you met your (very romantic-coded) partner and confirmed they were the person you were looking for by hitting each other, generally!
being a soulmate in the double life universe isn’t about being compatible, it’s about literally sharing pain, and it’s just… I think about how for some pairs, they share the burden between each other, and it brings them closer. for some pairs, though, the only way they know how to communicate is by hurting one another. and the thing is, this isn’t just a literal thing. like, mechanically, the thing soulmates do is share pain and communicate with pain, but metaphorically, can you say desert duo doesn’t have trouble communicating because half of how they know how to exist is either sharing in pain or causing it for each other? can you say that ranchers’ strength wasn’t a pair of people who understood each other’s pain and desperation to be better than they’ve been before? can you say that divorce quartet isn’t, well—
so pearl wins after scott hurts them one last time don’t you ever think about that,

only the absolute realest of the real ones will have a clue what i’m talking about here but i just realized the ‘grian argues with the secret keeper’ comic is 100% the spiritual successor to that trolley problem comic i storyboarded back in december 2020 but never finished or posted
