First date fits are atrocious, Greg wears a Hawaiian shirt over his usual clothes and Petey wears a bowtie (lil Petey insisted)

Spotify wrapped was pitiful this year - nothing good in it at all. Last years was much better.

Things of note:

* I was in the top 0.005% of listeners to - girl, so confusing by charli xcx featuring lorde

* top artist was Taylor Swift, I went through a phase guys, don’t BOO. Top 3% is insane when I stopped listening to her in the middle of the year 😭😂

* the progression of my music taste from august to October is absolutely hilarious. The entire vibe changing due to the main album I was listening to is astounding lol.

Overall- and underwhelming Spotify wrapped for an overwhelming year of music. So many amazing albums came out this year! And I listened to so many new artists too!

A few stand outs: (just found out after this entire shitshow that they haven’t put the fucking songs in order of how much they were listened too? What the fuck man?!)

* I actually blocked Noah kahan on everything because his music made me want to drive my car into a tree. But he did sneak onto my top 100 most played with the northern attitude at 35

* places 5-10 on the list consist of:

5. Good luck, babe! Chappel Roan

6. JOYRIDE by Kesha

7. Linda by Tokischa and Rosalía

8. 360 by Charli xcx

9. Red Wine Supernova by Chappel Roan

10. One of your girls by Troye Sivan

* Sabrina carpenter comes in with juno at 22

* not my fault by Renee rapp ft Megan the stallion at 30

* Tyler’s chromomopia debuting at 38 with St.Chroma - this album dropped the 28th of October for ref 😮‍💨

*the entire album of solar power by lorde can be found throughout my entire top 100 songs. I adore this delusional album so much 🥹

* new entry from a new artist at 43 with aftertaste by Chitra

* at poisition 🚨🚨69🚨🚨 we have Joan of arc by arcade fire- straight banger please listen to this and Helen of Troy by lorde on repeat to relive a manic episode I had this year !

* Paramore enters with this is why at 70

* my love mine all mine by mitski takes 79

* motion sickness by Phoebe Bridgers takes 80

* embarrassingly position 85 has been taken up by Diet Pepsi by Addison Rea… I have no explanation other then like 2 weeks of psychosis

* 88 has harry styles entry with watermelon sugar- which is weird because I swear I listened to Harry’s house more?

* 93 has money trees by Kendrick Lamar roll in

* 95 has Billie Eilish debut with birds of a feather - her latest album hit me hard and soft was a masterpiece and her tour looks sick as hell

* at 96 we have one of the only artists I saw live this year- Arjit Singh with Sajni. This song is one of the prettiest things I’ve heard in a while 🥹

* and at 💯 closing us off is our first entry for Florence and the machine- but this is only because I spent 4 months listening to dance fever on vinyl every day 🫡 her song King has come into bookend a fantastic year of music for me!

AOTY: in my opinion has to go to either Troye Sivan’s - something to give each other. A no skip pop record with just such a stunning overall production and its live performances have been undefeated this year. The queer joy this album gives me is indescribable- there is so much joy and longing in this album that I adore so much. Going to be carrying this album with me for a while 🌟❤️

Or! Chromokopia by Tyler the creator- this album is breathtaking- in the way that Beyoncé’s renaissance took on a life of its own almost with each song being an amalgamation of such small details keeping you hooked for days on each song. The lyricism and features make it a top contender for my AOTY despite only coming out like 5 weeks ago? It’s insane actually! Production out of this world another best thing Tyler has ever made - but we are saying this with his every drop so I am not surprised but I also am. This is such an amalgamation of all of his old work that came together for this. I have hopes Tyler headlines coachella and pulls this off in such a way that we never forget this truly groundbreaking album 🫡😮‍💨😤🫵💫

A thing that needs to be taken into account with this is that I listen to a lot of music on vinyl! This year I’ve been broke so have only purchased 2 7” albums, one was the song come on Eileen by the Dexy Midnight Runners and the other being the Safety Dance by Men without Hats.

My most played LP was the album Dance Fever by Florence & the Machine - I had this playing all summer- it kept me company while I used to get ready for parties from like May to August. Which is insane actually. Other frequent plays would be the album El Camino by The Black Keys, Trench by Twenty one pilots and midnights by Taylor Swift.

On YouTube I had the NPR tiny desk by Ca7riel & Poco Amoroso on REPEAT. This was such an amazingly fun tiny desk that was probably one on the best I’ve ever seen?!

Gotta thank TikTok for the overwhelming amount of good music that I get recommended to on there. Truly nothing is more fun than finding something amazing you’ve never heard of before.

In regards to soundtracks and broadway I was blessed with a mean girls and legally blonde hyperfixation that can’t be beat! The almond tutorials of these two are amazing and I probably watch them like 4/5 times a year ngl.

Overall a stunning year of music, I was thoroughly stuffed with some of the best the world could offer. Can’t wait to see what another year brings 🙏🌟🎉

Wow, your talent for writing is just so incredible 😩❤️ HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST FOUND YOUR ACCOUNT??? 🤨🤨🤨 Better now than never, I say 😮‍💨 You are so incredibly descriptive with your works, and I adore your style of Satoru! I love how he’s his goofy bratty self eheheheh but also how you go deeper with how he’s lonely under the silliness and truly adores those that he’s closest to. OH MY HEART IS MELTING, I’M MELTING!!

I hope that you have a fantastic day 🥰

Hi, Skittles! You are such a dear!

OHHHHH, PLEASE 😩 I am blushing! I literally squeaked! I'm holding my face in my hands right now!

Thank you so much! ❤️ I didn't start posting fic here until about 7 months in when I finally found the courage! Don't worry about finding my account! I don't have a consistent schedule, and I'm not tumblr famous either! 😂

I am sooooo happy you find my work to be descriptive! I worry readers want something short, but I like something a bit more built-up. I want readers to feel all sorts of emotions and swoon!

As for Satoru, I AM SO IN LOVE 😍😍😍 His arrogance, his goofiness - I love it all! I think he's more complex than it seems. I think he is a deeply loving man under his loneliness. I could talk about Satoru for hours.

Thank you for your kind words! Readers like you who can see what I'm trying to accomplish make my heart SWELL. It makes me want to keep writing! I hope you have a lovely day, and you deserve all the happiness in the world. ❤️

this is the anon that sent the ask about how much i loved love on the floor!! i finished reading the most recent chapter of a lesson on style and i don’t even know how to describe my feelings right now.

i actually finished the most recent chapter a few days ago, but i keep going back and rereading jaemin and reader’s conversation. i also keep rereading when jaemin walked reader home and then jeno showed up. maybe i’m looking into it too much but jeno seemed so nervous asking reader that she only likes him, does she like him more than the others, confirming that reader has nothing with jaemin or renjun. i can’t tell if jeno is just anxious and needs confirmation or if he has ulterior motives. that just might be because of the tone i read it in my head though lol.

jaemin subtly insisting that reader keep his jacket lol. and the fact he said he and jeno both hate losing?? omg. they’re friends but they’re kinda lowkey going for the same person it feels like. this is why i felt jeno might be a little disingenuous because he was there (i’m pretty sure at least) when jaemin gave reader his jacket and jeno made it a point to ask reader that there was nothing with jaemin and that reader liked him more than jaemin. and the cliffhanger of jeno finding jaemin and reader??

also, does renjun like reader? is there a small crush happening?? when he was saying how much he didn’t like jeno and he was listing off other people to be interested in he mentioned himself and it’s making me wonder.

i don’t know how much of this rambling made sense, but!! if your goal was to cause absolute chaos within the minds of readers just know you’ve succeeded

first of all — love on the floor anon, we gotta get you a shorter and more consistent nickname!!! let me know what you’d like to be called! 🥹💜 i love talking to you and rambly messages are my actual favorite so don’t you ever worry about making sense! even if it didn’t (it does tho!), i would love that message wholeheartedly!

i can’t say anything much yet about jeno having motives bc as my professors used to say ~~ the knowing is in the writing ~~ and plans can always change but! the direction it’s headed is definitely in a bit more of a gray area 😮‍💨i feel like quite a few people have definitely classified jeno as a red flag and while i do agree he exhibits a lot of those warning signs from time to time, i will say he isn’t doing anything out of like … explicitly malicious intent? like he’s definitely not evil WHICH IS SOMETHING I FEEL A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT THINK HE ISUSJSJSSKWWOOWOW HES NOT A LIL BITCH he’s also just immature, in the way our mc also has her immaturities. all i can say at the moment is that jeno is definitely a complicated character, as jaemin always manages to say, and there are things he does and will do that mayyyy toe a line he doesn’t really acknowledge is always there!

i am v v glad you also caught onto jaemin looking like he wants mc to keep the jacket bc!!! him not even explicitly saying oh keep it bc it makes it feel like i asked u to be my gf … as a person not in this situation i love that energy but i feel like for mc … SIGH i’m guessing it’s also a unique level of density (see: denial) on her part that stops her from fully reading jaemin’s signs — like … she knows he’s doing something but adamantly refuses to see what it is and WHY!! yet i think the fact that she acknowledges her panic now in not wanting anyone to misunderstand who she likes is a step towards the direction of having an epiphany LOL and yes! jaemin has until now often taken a back seat and has also allowed things to unfold organically with jeno and mc. however! i will say that this may make him seem passive and sort of cavalier about the whole thing so i think it’s important — through this chapter — to know that jaemin isn’t necessarily on the bench; he’s just more of an underdog (not the sports metaphors DJDJDJJD).

and yes! this much, i can say with certainty: renjun has a small crush on mc, and it stems from close proximity and a lot of time spent together. there’s no clear reason for it other than that; i don’t know if it’s obvious, but the logical nature that renjun has and his implied interests aren’t really aligned with mc’s. in coming chapters you will find reasoning and closure for this sort of grey friendship, but it’s not without conflict. renjun dislikes jeno for the attention he gets, but there’s a high possibility his interest in mc stems from mostly that, and it’s hard to say it’s the result of anything genuinely romantic. i think renjun knows, deep down, that he and mc are not a good fit as a couple, but in life……………. emotions always get mixed up, and only time will truly resolve these things!

see i rambled too! i love rambles! 🥹💕 feel free always to send a message bc if there’s one thing i can’t shut up about, it’s diving deep into stories and characters. and i am not by any means a patron of chaos but i think it’s also very chaotic in my own mind HDSJJSSJSKS WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY WE MAY FEEL THE SAME WAY I FEAR
