#you picked really hard questions sjdjsjdjd

[daddy-ul]

18, 25, and 26!

Hey there, stranger!! This ended up being LONG, so feel free to skip a bit the boring parts fjsdkfssda

18. Which piece of your Met merch is your treasure?

...... you are coming for my throat, are you? HOW CAN I PICK ONE?? I know I wrote these ask, so it’s also my faul BUT

Uhmmmm, I think I posed the question wrong bc what does ‘treasure’ mean in this context? If we go with emotional value in general, I should say my SKOM dvd/book bc, as lame as it can sound, it plays a major role in my inner life + i’m a strange animal and i bought it without knowing a thing abt metallica, and it was what convinced me to listen to them. .... but is it a treasure if I could buy it whenever I want? It’s everywhere, even on netflix.

If we go with treasure = rare... well, I could say my concert tickets, bc of course they are only mine. MHHHHHH

I’m making this harder than it should be, am I? LOL, then let’s compromise:

It’s a tie between a) my met crop top that makes me feel powerful af and has the pushead sun design on it;

b) Back to the front bc HOLY SHIT I still think about that book, how it’s structured in such a heartfelt way and... well,  you know that when you love a thing... you kinda recognize that love in other people or even in object? You recognize the care and thought and passion... bc you have them in you. I can see them in that book. And the ending lives rent free in my head; 

c) my So What! issues bc they bring me so much JOY and they are so fun, and it was not easy getting them and some are already sold out!! My treasure indeed.

25. Fave HTSD lyrics

You are ruining me, hope you know that. djsakdhajkdhadh kidding, I love these kinda things (I have many opinions and no qualms about spreading them fdjfhsd)

I’m a rebel so I do what I want, which means that I pick one line for every song of the album

Hardwired: hardwired to self destruct (such a great, dark concept); Atlas: Overload, the martyr stumbles/Hit the ground and heaven crumbles/All alone, the fear shall humble (bc it rolls magnificently on the tongue);

Dead: When doubt returns/May it be/That faith shall permeate our scars (i love dark stuff as much as I am an optimist); Moth: Overdose on shame and insecurity;

Dream: He sleeps under cosmos shaking/Stars granting his breath (HOW COOL IS THAT???? such amazing images); Halo: Fear to turn on the light/ For the darkness won’t go away (I am a basic bitch and this still hits me hard as it did in 2016);

Confusion: Rapid is the road to sacrifice/Just takes longer to come home; ManUNkind: Seized by the day/Frozen captive by the night (i love the pun);

Revenge: I return this nightmare, I will find you/Sleepless, cloaked in despair, I’m behind you; Savage: Sharpened edge touch liquid flame/Deepened seed soaks angers reign (I LOVE METAPHORS OKAY??? Also i wrote a damn meta on this song, it was hard to choose);

Murder One: Born to lose/Living to win; Spit: Remove your heart, it’s only good for bleeding

One day I’m gonna write a meta about how much James’ writing lyrically speaking has changed during time, down to the structure (ie. in Death magnetic there were SUBORIDNATES and in HTSD has a lot of 2-words lines)

26. What Met riff is eating your brain today?

Uhmmmm, more than a riff today I’m kinda obsessed with the violins in a specific part of Moth into Flame S&M2 bc they sound EXACTLY like lil insects swarming and dying around you. (this reminds me that I have also my S&M2 post in the drafts)
