things spotify needs to do for the next wrapped to redeem themselves

not use ai.

top albums list

bring back our cities map. I would love to hear that I listen to the same music as people in utah ok?

take each top song of the week and make that a 52 song playlist (or however many weeks it is before they stop counting stats)

genres???

top genres that are normal. I don't care if "pop" "rap" "folk" are basic terms. I would rather have that than "sunrise granola van life christian" ???

genres by month but using those wheel things they did with artists last year (they should bring that back too but—). did the summer see a rise and fall in country music? was winter a rise and fall of folk?

what was the first song you listened to this year. what time of jan 1 did you play it on

what date did you play your first Christmas/holiday music on

we're halfway through this decade! how has your taste changed in the last 6 years (related: take the top 10 songs from 2020-2025 and put them into one playlist) (they HAVE to do something with this in 2029 or I swear—)

"you listened to 45,000 minutes of music this year" great! follow it with "that's 31 straight days of music!" make me horrified that I spent an entire month of my year just listening to music

better visual design. this was so tech-y. so odd. even last year was those pixel things. make it cute, fun, whimsy. can genres determine colors people get more in their panels. shapes for each genre, artist, whatever. etc etc. give the designers more freedom

the personality thing they used to do. that was fun. personal. had some flair. makes people identify with A Thing and then with other people that are The Same As Me. which is like #1 in marketing. this is not a hard science

Than you so much for the tag @ultravioletbrit!!

Here's a bit of dialogue from a scene of Silver Secrets I'm working on rn:

James: “Hey!” running up to Reg Reg: “Potter” James: “Don't be like that” Reg: “I’ll be exactly how I like, thank you” turning around with a sigh “What do you want?” James: “I just wanted to wish you good luck” Reg: “Have you forgotten we’re playing against each other?” James: “So?” Reg: “I don't want your luck” James: “Well, it’s yours anyway” crooked shy smile

25 Days of Jegumas | Dec 1 | Dec 4 December 5 - Snowball Fights | @noblehouseofgay | wc: 546

“Why can’t I go out there with them?” Harry asks, turning his big eyes onto Regulus after tearing them from the glass door that leads to the backyard. The backyard where Pete, James, Remus, and Sirius are hunkered near their own little walls of snow or trees or random objects that’s big enough to mostly obscure their body, hammering each other with snowballs.

The two can hear their laughter from inside, and Regulus sighs, “I know that you want to play in the snow, bub, but the boys are being too rough and they might accidentally hurt you.” 

“Snowman?” Regulus thinks for a while, watching his partner, brother, and their friends playing.

It’s only when he’s sure that no snowballs have been overshot and hit towards the back porch area, does he nod, “We can make a snowman together, but we have to be careful.” Harry nods and Regulus goes to help him get into his warm snow clothes, getting into his warm over things as well. He gently guides his son out into the backyard, calling, “Watch for the little boy and his father. If you hit one of us, or our snowman, you’ll be executed. Resume.” Then he brings the boy to a nice patch of snow that’s been mostly unbothered by the chaos happening around them. 

They get finished with their snowman before the boys are done with their snowball fight and head back inside so Regulus can make them some warm drinks and warm the two of them up by the fireplace. 

When they have hot chocolate in hand, Regulus settles on the floor and pulls the little boy into his lap in front of the fire, watching the fight outside the window.  

When he thinks that the fight is finishing up, Regulus leaves his son with his toys and heads to the pot of hot chocolate, pouring some out into four mugs, all themed and reserved for the four, and grabs some blankets from the hallway closet that he throws over the couch. 

He’s only just settled back in the living room when the glass door slides open and Regulus barks, “Coats and shoes and anything else that is wet or snow-covered is off and put into the bucket that I put by the door.” The family shucks off their over things and James attempts to go over to Regulus and pull him into a kiss, but the man dodges it, “Nope, not while your hands are cold. There is hot chocolate in mugs in the kitchen, grab yours. You can come and hang out with us and sit with the blankets, but you are not to touch me until your hands and your face are warmed up.” James nods, pouts just a bit, and goes to the kitchen with their best friends just behind them.

They come back out seconds later, their mug in hand. They walk over to the couch and settled next to their husband, leaning into him, “I know that you said not until I was warmer, but I’m warmer than most people.” 

“I know,” Regulus shakes his head, wrapping his arm around them. Remus and Sirius go to settle on the couch chair together and Pete moves to sit on the floor, talking gently to Harry.

Something so scrumptious about James having a crush on his best friends little sister all of high school but then he doesn’t see her for years because he goes off to college and when he finally returns he meets Sirius’ little brother rather than his little sister and James is absolutely floored with the knowledge that his adolescent crush has turned out to be the love of his life like he simply knows the second their eyes meet???

regulus who makes out with james just to get one of his hair and make polyjuice to play a prank on his brother.

eventually he loses the hair and has to do it again, and james is oblivious and surprised regulus of all people is showing interest in him but regulus got him completely wrapped around his finger.

[venus-sqturn]

both james and regulus plotted and hung mistletoe around campus to try and get wolfstar and rosekiller to kiss. much to their surprise, they end up under it instead.

(Based on the TikTok trend that’s had me rolling)

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

Sirius: One time in third year I ate the last of Moony’s chocolate and I blamed it on you because I didn’t want him to be mad at me.

James: 😒

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

James: Sometimes I use your toothbrush when I can’t find mine.

Sirius: 🤨

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

Sirius: Over the summer when I stayed at your place, I accidentally broke Effie’s favorite mug and blamed you because I didn’t want her to hate me.

James: She made me to extra chores for a week!

Sirius: 😬

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

James: Sometimes I take your stuff while you’re asleep and then when you try to find it, I pretend to help you look for it.

Sirius: Prongs, my good quill?

James: I needed to do my homework!

Sirius: 😪

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

Sirius: Sometimes I hide your glasses on purpose when I’m annoyed at you because I think it’s funny.

James: What the fuck, mate?

Sirius: 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sirius and James: We listen and we don’t judge.

James: I regularly meet up with your brother and snog him senseless.

Sirius:

James: We listen and we don’t-

Sirius: Oh no, we’re fucking judging now.

failure - November 23 - jegulus raising Harry - @stag-microfic - word count: 312

James sat on the couch with his head in his hand, dejection and misery flooding through his body. "Was it me, Reg? Am I a failure as a dad?"

Soft hands combed through his hair as his husband whispered soothingly to him, "No, James. Of course not."

"But I had such high hopes!" he wailed, flinging his body backward and pressing his hand over his eyes. "Ever since the day he was born, I-"

"I know, love," Regulus murmured, voice quavering. "It's hard, I know."

"And now, he doesn't even have the decency to tell me to my face?" he continued, completely beside himself. "He just sent a letter?"

"Well, love, what was he supposed to do? Wait until the holidays?" Regulus replied softly.

It was only then that James heard it. A small laugh slipping out of Regulus's lips.

His eyes popped open and he sent him a suspicious look, eyes narrowing. "Are you laughing?" he asked, frowning.

"N-no!" Regulus insisted, but a broad grin formed over his stunning face. "I just-" he let out a laugh, pressing his thin fingers over his perfect lips. "I just think it's funny that Harry's turned out to be a Seeker. I mean, he's not even biologically mine, and-"

"Exactly!" James wailed, throwing his hands up. "He was supposed to be a Chaser!"

In an all-out laughing fit now, Regulus said between chuckles, "Well, you know teenagers. They always rebel."

Rolling his eyes, James tried not to pout. But after a moment, he began to think about it. About watching Regulus streak through the sky when they were young. About how amazing it had been to watch. "Seekers are talented," he relented, sighing. "And they get the most points in one go."

"That's the spirit, love," Regulus nodded, still grinning. "Way to be neutral and supportive."

James just snorted and flipped him a finger.
