Spotify Wrapped: BL edition!

Sort of stolen from @theflagscene : Put your top 100 (101) songs on shuffle and assign the first ten random songs you get to a specific BL couple, doesn’t have to make complete sense to anyone but you.

Two of my favorite activities are listening to music and assigning songs to my current blorbos, so as you can imagine I couldn't resist that one.

"Rule #2: Moonlight" by Fish in a Birdcage - Choco, Milk and Jungwoo (Choco Milk Shake) I miss you my dear, there's something that I have to say: All I need is to come home to you, all I want is to be close you.

"Maraschino Love" by EZI - Mangkorn/Yai (Big Dragon) [...] not to worry, we were both fucked up in the story. You lips a sugar rush, like candy on my tongue, once I got a taste I couldn't stop

"Quelqu'un d'autre que toi (someone other than you)" by Les funambules - Tar/Tum (Tharntype) I looked at you (and I watched you) and you were right (slowly drifting away) you were my chance, my care, my home (and stopping yourself from being happy)

"Sternenhimmel (starry sky)" by Hubert Kah - Daonuea/Khabkluen (Star in my mind) And as soon as I feel the first rush, the love comes back too. But in my little heart, I feel this despair.

"Hello" by Evanescence - Mitsuru/Koichi (Eien no Kino) Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide Don't cry...

"Ne me dis pas (don't tell me)" by Maud Lübeck - Bai Lang/Xun An (My tooth your love) Do not tell me you love me, others said it. Others said 'I love you' and then left me.

"Habit" by Sekai no Owari - Nozue/Togawa (Old fashion cupcake) I'm not saying you have to have a dream, I wouldn't be so irresponsible. I'm just saying, don't be consumed by those habits, when you drop them you'll see your real worth.

"Sonne (sun)" by Rammstein - Mork/Tawan (My Ride) One... here comes the sun. Two... here comes the sun. Three... she's the brightest star of all.

"Don't call me" by SHINee - Seo Jaeyoon > Yoo Seungseok (Roommates of Poongduck 304) I'm gonna find love, a more beautiful love that can help me forget how you and I were awful together.

"Think about you" by Sture Zetterberg - Kim/Mek (My Secret Love) Should I close my eyes and never again hold you tight, call you mine, think about you every time I remember that it's over?

('dead garden' from Nick Wong - almostpoetic)

It's not really a tagging challenge or anything but as always, if you do it after seeing mine please please please tag me so I can have a look?

LOVE, IN SPITE OF by Valerie T. Our house is divided into two parts / when my mother comes for a visit / Every weekend she brings potatoes, string beans, and meat for lunch / In one side of the house, the aroma of asado and ginisang Baguio beans roams like noon breeze / my mother’s laughter and sudden sighs of exasperation over a week’s worth / of unfolded clothes are plastered / all over the walls / In another side of the house / my father dances to his favorite music / his children’s laughter / and always, there is the wild scent of adobo / and fluffy scrambled eggs, which I still try to master / In this corner, / sometimes there is the painful silence I try to / bury with my hands / but most of the time / I do not have to dig any more soil / I had built an entire graveyard / over the past years / for all my broken bones / and over time / it has become a garden / where butterflies seek for refuge / and birds build nests from fallen leaves / Every weekend / I come home to the same house that taught me / to love, in spite of //

I had the beach all to myself today. The only sounds were the crackling of ice as the sun hit the lake and water flowing underneath just barely audible through some openings in the ice. #lakeerie #almostpoetic #portcolborne #sunnysaturday #whatadaytobealive #lovewhereyoulive (at Port Colborne, Ontario)

the second and thirds

have you ever noticed how cold the second and third are?

without a doubt,

always the most wrenching, borderline speaking,

holding back for motivation's sake,

perfect is too close,

life is too generous.

the second and third sisters are

like twin fallacies in that they share the same God-given breath

that the rest of us do, 

but they hold it, unknowingly, over my head

beneath my bowtie,

in their fire-and-water dresses, really close to

killing me if they so wanted to.

i've never comprehended why God created them as statues,

like artifacts in one and every museum nearby,

when their feet slide across the parking lot till they

enter the white minivan.

how they sit symmetrically on the couch, 

like second and third days of November,

causing a literal cold to depress my lungs,

tainting the deep breath I value,

frosting the windows, stealing the eye,

and I convince myself I can never reach heaven aside from God,

so this darling third and alluring second

have always been statues: look but don't touch,

only the predestined are destined to hold either freezing, addictive hand.

ostensibly my pursuits are invalid, meaningless, a sham;

because I've felt the touch, but not the grab;

the glance, but not the stare.

delicate like

a crisp, sugar paper from a wedding

stepping through the sanctuary

quick, quivering smile with contempt for competing

passing the veil, her searing view

(but not lethal),

has the force to break my kneecaps

if I ever were to look for longer than

the millisecond of a passing glance

more like caramel to my ears

when she speaks of love and moreso,

how she needs me but never will

fall in

fall out

fall along

sore

there's a pain in my back

I feel as if I've stood too tall

I tried to reach that top shelf that said I could

my arms really aren't that long though

let alone, my back was never stiff

I wanted that cup at the top

to drink the sweet goodness of fulfillment I imagined years ago

I thought it would fill all of the holes in my vertebrae

so I could stand taller next time

but the music keeps playing even when I thought

I turned it off

...

I did turn it off, right?

the thickness of a rhinoceros's horn as it's impaling my heart as I wonder, 'will this kill me?'

SOME nights i scare myself before the jump comes

and i'm fixed on your face

fierce, but too calm, for it makes me stare deeper

and deeper

and deeper until poetic things elude me

and your perfect teeth sink deeper

.

the lust, is it real?

or have i been attracted to

your potent, wide heart?

.

i've pondered this, and

have come to the conclusion

that if you love me,

i would see too.

.

the pathetic night

invites me in, because my

dreams are better than

what really happens

so i lean yet again on

the Rock higher than i

and hope i can see better from the top

it's been too long since i've really seen

from a path that tames everyone

.

now, the horn drives deeper

because i won't run away

i won't take safety

i'd rather stare into the eyes of a

beautiful pissed off rhinoceros

than watch it impale other men

.

is that insanity?

is that real?

.

the funny thing is,

the rhinoceros pulled out it's horn weeks ago

maybe months 

it could have been a whole year by now

regardless, i've been wanting the pain all the more,

wanting the rhinoceros to pierce me again,

so i could see it's blue eyes more clearly

and make even all the distance i thought we walked

and talked

.

i want to settle

i really want to move
