[wisteriashouse]

Hi, I would also like a matchup! Im an ISFP, straight female. My love language is quality time. Im also super touch starved and a bit shy. Im a bit of a sensitive person, I also overthink a lot. If I get a long with the person I can talk a lot but I can also be pretty awkward at times when it comes to social gatherings. I love to eat and sleep, im at my worst mood when im hungry and tired haha. I like to listen to music, mostly more upbeat music. I also like drawing but often don't find the motivation to draw.

you have been matched with... rengoku kyoujurou!

as the quieter one, you’ve always been watching the flame pillar kyoujurou from a distance. part of you (well, a lot of you) secretly admires him intensely for his vibrant warmth and passion, but you’ve never seemed to be able to be the one to initiate a conversation with him; it’s always him coming up to you to talk while you just remain tongue tied in his presence, only managing awkward nods and smiles. when the two of you are left alone for a while and you’re forced to talk to him, you learn that kyoujurou’s presence is so comfortable that it’s remarkably easy to talk and chat with him - and from then on, you find yourself inexplicably drawn to his side.

kyoujurou radiates warmth, both in the literal and metaphorical sense - who better to act as your personal body heater? whenever you feel like you want someone to hold you, all you have to do is hold out your arms to him - and kyoujurou instantly moves to sweep you into his tight embrace. his displays of affection aren’t just limited to hugs, though, he also shows his love for you in more mundane touches like the holding of your hand in his, using any excuse he can find to brush your hair behind your ear or to wipe a crumb from your cheek. you might feel a little shy at first when he does this in public, but when you see the way he beams so brightly at you after doing so, all your inhibitions simply melt away.

if you do overthink things, kyoujurou will always be quick to reassure you when he notices something is wrong - he can be a little oblivious at times, so it’s best that you tell him things directly! also, if you’re the type to get hangry, kyoujurou will keep snacks in his pockets just for you 😂, he thinks that it’s cute that you’ll immediately seek him out whenever you want something to eat. if you’re tired, he’ll let you put your head in his lap while he strokes your hair - what better way is there to fall asleep?

[image description: a q&a for the webcomic someone always cares. full desc under the cut because its long and wordy sorry]

post chapter 3 Q&A

first - previous - next

thanks for yalls questions!! it was fun to answer! if anyone still has questions feel free to ask whenever i am always 100% down to ramble. even if i did go slightly off topic in some answers

additional: went off topic with the hair question a bit. their bright hair is all part of the transformations. regular hair dye does exist though. best way to tell is that if the eyebrow matches the hair its probably not dyed. also, quartz’s hair is naturally ginger.

also for more on ages, check out the character bios here

also was gonna keep this in the tags but thought i might as well actually try to answer it: the question i found it hardest to answer was someone the song one. my taste in music is. a mess really. ive been listening to like the same 5 songs on repeat all day. more under the cut because i was rambling again and now its uhhh half 1am

if it helps at the time of answering that specific question i had home by cavetown on repeat, and that song reminds me of both rami and lewis. but that may be because i project onto those two a lot, and as a aro trans dude. who sucks with people skills, yeah of course i love that song.

specifically the vibes of like not knowing how to communicate (rami is fine with his friends but other people are different), the lines “ Turn off your porcelain face, I can't really think right now and this place, Has too many colors, enough to drive all of us insane” idk what the porcelain face line is supposed to mean but im picturing it as like. a mask. that you need to take off and stop hiding and rami does tend to hide when hes feeling upset, and the next two lines kinda could tie into that, like the feeling of when youre overwhelemed and just want the world to stop so you just hide somewhere. also the colours could go with chapter 3 with the chromatic abberation.

also the bit with “ my eyes went dark, I don't know where, my pupils are, But I'll figure out a way to get us out of here” just kinda sums up ramis whole hero thing with his powers and all. anyway this has turned into less what songs rami would like and why this particular song reminds me of him and lewis (lewis specifically has the hair cutting/chest hiding, [big transmasc mood], and also messy haired trainwreck who doesnt know who he is yet. also the ghosts bit)

i did end up picking upbeat songs because ramis a dude who like to try and be upbeat even if things arent. even if hes not really feeling it he will pretend to.

[full description: Anonymous said to someone-always-cares: “hi ily!!! do characters like quartz who have colored hair have that naturally or did they dye it?”

“its both natural and not! while most supers can do a magical girl ish transformation, including a change in hair colour, there are some exceptions.”

theres two small full body drawings of rami, one in civilian clothes, one fully transformed.

“if a superhero were to have a biological child, the child will inherit the powers of the parent(s). however, the child will not inherit the full transfromation. they do inherit any physical transformations, but not the outfit.”

theres a drawing of a woman in blue, quartz’s mother, fully transformed, holding her mask in her hand, smiling down at a much younger quartz as a child. hes smiling back up at her with the same blue eyes, pointy ears, and blue hair, but hes still in normal clothes.

“in the case of quartz, both of hisparents had superpowers, and he inherited those powers and the physical transformations.he can also pick and mix whatphysical traits to change.“

next is a headshot of adult quartz, his face split down the middle with one side having hair and eye like his mother, the other like his father. theres a list of traits from each parents, blue hair and eyes and pointy ears from his mum, and purple hair and eyes and pointy teeth from their dad.

 “Anonymous said to someone-always-cares:  Are all the characters the same age? If not, how old are they? Are they irl friends or just superhero friends?”

theres some headshots of rami and his team lined up with ages labelled: cam is 15, rami himself is 17, lin, mateo, and dante, are all 18, and cap is 20.

“rami and xandra were somewhat friends before she got superpowers, so when, after the incident with her old team, she found rami had developed powers, xandra stuck close to him. their other teamates started off as superhero friends but soon turned into irl friends too”

theres a headshot of lewis and jade. theyre both 17

“when lewis first decided to start being a vigilante,jade quickly found him and decided to help train himand offered to be a mentor of sorts, as they both have similar powers. that quickly derailed.”

“ cinder5555 said to someone-always-cares: How long does it usually take to make a comic page? I'm curious because they're so freaking good that they must take FOREVER”

theres a drawing of myself, a fluffy hair tired bastard in a hoodie, smiling

“Thanks! Ive been doing this shit since like 2017 and i still have no idea how long it takes me. i can get a page done in a day if i have nothing else to do or if its a simple page, but if i have work then maybe 2-3 days? i spend like, most of my free time doing this.“

another drawing of me, now looking frustrated muttering “how the FUCK does time work”

“but i can never do it all on one sitting.i will inevitably get distracted and zone out daydreaming mid drawing so its very hard to get an accurate read on how long it takes. so however long a piece of string is i guess“

the only qustion not from tumblr is a discord message from RuneStone Cabin:

“Q: Can you talk about the incidence of superpowers in this world? Like many people are supers, which powers are more or less common, how long they've been a thing for, stuff like that. Also does Omen know I'd die for them “

theres a drawing of omen pointing at a date circled on a calender marked “decembuary”, theyre saying “i know. i already wrote your death in my calender.”

then a giant wall of text reading: “Supers have only existed for a relativly short time, since the early 1940s. momento mori was the second person to have ever gained powers.

Only a small number of the population are supers! the chances are higher in more populated cities, but unusally london has oneof the higher percentages of supers. while nobody in universe has any idea of the origins of superpowers, it does seem that powers are more likely to occur in people who would actually use their powers.

as for what powers are most common, after making a badly catagorized spreadsheet of every superpowered character ive made for this world (70% of which will probably never even be seen), turns out that elemental powers are the most common. although not all elemental powers manifest as the straight up 'controling this element' as seen in characters like lin or tsunami. for example, iris's powers would fall under shadow elemntal powers, but theyre a lot more weird that just controlling shadows.there are some abilities that have never been seen before,such as ressurection or full on time travel (aka anything that could bring a character back to life), but powers are certainly allowed to toe the line eg healing, powers involving undeath, immortality, pausing or manipulating time.

aside from that, anything goes. you could get plain old superstrength, but you could also get the ability to create dogs with your mind. other not quite rules, more guidelines are that supers are immune to their own powers hurting them (unless they were pushing themselves too hard), although the way the imminuties occur may be inconvinient to the super.

while some powers may be 'more powerful' than others, powers dont really get to be way underpowered or overpowered in comparision to others. sure being able to talk to animals may feel a bit useless compared to someone who can lift 4 tanks at once, but nobodys going to end up with a power like 'can turn into a goose but only once' or 'can grow toenails twice as fast' or 'if i sneeze i can change my hair colour'. at the same time, youre not going to get someone with the power to snap their fingers and level a city, or instantly blow up the moon or whatever.

“Anonymous said to someone-always-cares: I love rami PLEASE tell me his favorite song(s) and why. I will die for you”

a drawing of rami saying out loud “i dont really have any specific favourite song, really? i just listen to whatever sounds catchy and then listen to that on repeat for hours until i hate it. i guess i do like upbeat songs? ones that make you feel happy even if the lyrics are sad”

“ un1c0rnhh said to someone-always-cares: tell me,,, please,, cam,,, are they a cat person or a dog person?? ily"

theres a drawing of cam a metre away from a cat lying down. she has her arm out and is making ‘psspsspss’ noises at it. end id]

FUCK i am so glad i didnt hand write all of that, it would have been a major pain in the ass to write it all and then have to transcribe all that next. but nope i could directly copy paste the asks and word answers. cheers if anyone made it this far down. if anyone wonders why this is uploaded late, you know now.

Album Analysis: Neotheater

neotheater is possibly one of my favorite albums of all time. i love the way the album opens and closes, it really reminds me of a show and almost like an overture while also being a unique song. the sentimental value each song obviously holds made me want to cry and smile at the same time. in my opinion, the click’s theme or message was about balancing what you want to be and what other people want you to be, and i think that this album is about the ‘human experience’ and things everyone goes through but never talks about (like the Peter Pan factor, which is explained later). I loved the messages of 100 Bad Days and Birthday Party when they dropped, and Dear Winter brought me to tears.

But it’s always better to go in order, so starting from the beginning, Next Up Forever: wanting to never actually peak because then it means you’re never going to be better/or as good as you were at one point or another. this song also pushes into motion the Peter Pan factor that reoccurs throughout the album, not wanting to grow up. but then the flip side shown in the song is not wanting to be left behind. “I know i have to grow up sometime, but i don’t think im ready yet” is the line that really drove it home for me. This song is also musically beautiful and i love love LOVE the chorus.

Next, Birthday Party: Firstly, i love the transition between the songs. i also love the little “wow”s! This song also captures the ‘human experience’ in my opinion because it mentions thoughts everyone has, but doesn’t ever really say out loud (with a few exceptions). Not to mention the upbeat music that for me represented the outlook that the song has, even if it is in a sarcastic way.

My personal favorite to get hype to, 100 Bad Days: this one i feel contributes the most to the theme of ‘the human experience’. the song is about surviving what hurts, and becoming more interesting because of it. it also talks about coping with failure and everything going wrong, which is something that everyone ever can relate to. “i aint scared of you no more” is such a powerful line, saying ‘hey yknow what? im not going to let this keep me down’ which is also something everyone can relate to. This song holds a special place in my heart because it has helped me through a lot even though it hasn’t been out for very long.

Don’t Throw Out My Legos: holy. crap. i heard this song first when i listened to clips from people on The Click tour, but hearing it produced and really complete is an entirely different experience. This song contributes to ‘the human experience’ because it’s about being stuck in this feedback loop of having to let go but not being able to. it also represents a first step to me, because moving out but not moving on is the first step towards being really independent. this song may have the most peter pan feel to it of all!

Break My Face: the way this song starts is my favorite thing ever omg. this song is kinda like realism, cause it gives the pros and cons to every situation in an unbiased way, but also makes a little joke out of it. human experience shows in this one through how it almost sounds tired of life’s crap. “life gives you lemons, at least it gave you something” is an iconic line, and the little callback to Birthday Party with “everything is going great” is super sneaky cause it sounds perfect.

Turning Out Pt.ii: wow. this song is really raw, and it honestly makes me feel so aware of everything. the universal shared experience of being in love with the idea of someone is already near heartbreaking, but then the way it is compared to growing up and, well, turning out and loving how you turn out really drives it home. not being able to actually tell someone and instead having to indirectly imply it is also something people can relate to.

The Entertainment’s Here: if someone were to ask me what song i feel embodies who i am, it would be this song. the alarm part really called me out to be honest. being someone who hyperfixates on things alot, this song is about being bored and starting to think about things way too much and getting bored but then content (in this case, entertainment) is available and i use it as a distraction. “you don’t even gotta use your brain from here” is the most hard hitting line for me. this song embodies the human experience, because it’s about needing to be distracted constantly which is how life is now.

Karma: This song is just.... beautiful. i love how the song is from the point of view of someone at a therapy appointment, because that is something alot of people will be able to latch on to and feel really close to home. another thing people will relate to is doing your best for as long as you can, but not getting any good karma in return and getting gradually frustrated. The callback to 100 Bad Days really hit hard, because it ties the songs together. One, about pushing through everything life throws at you, and the other, about being wound so tightly and straining from said pushing through and never getting a break. The outro of the song is another thing that is going to resonate with so many people. “the universe works in mysterious ways but im starting to think its not working for me” is the summary of it.

Beats: This song reminds me of Im Not Famous, cause it’s about the moral argument of selling out/not selling out. this song is very human to me because it has the recurring theme of being afraid of being forgotten/left behind/fading away. It also gives me Come Hang Out vibes cause of the end.

Wow, Im Not Crazy: This is another song that i think its the epitome of the ‘human experience’ because hearing someone else confirm that youre not alone in something you think is weird about yourself is such an amazing feeling that i feel was captured perfectly in this song. the tone is perfectly reflective of the feeling you get when you hear someone say something you’ve been thinking about forever.

Dear Winter: I have almost no words for this song. The first time i heard this song, i was having a really bad day, some of friends were out together without me, but i watched the video and listened to the song on repeat and things were a little better. The idea of planning your life and skipping over certain parts you can’t actually plan is so relatable, and i think that it says alot about us as humans. It’s in our heads from the beginning that we have to have a plan and we have to know what to do, but sometimes thats impossible and we can’t, so we don’t, and we hope instead. and i think this song reflects that beautifully.

Finale (I Cant Wait To See What You Do Next): The way this song echoes the first track but is still it’s own song is so beautiful. I also love how both songs are reminiscent of old movies or old shows that you would go and see in a theater, but theyre still new (hence neotheater!!!) “They wanted heaven from me, i gave them hell” is so powerful on it’s own, because it is about expectations piling up and just exploding and throwing them off. this song really does a good job of communicating that message. There’s also that little feeling of being behind and overwhelmed after such intense expectations that the song does a perfect job of putting into words and music. It also brings a little of the Peter Pan factor back, talking about not wanting to be forgotten or left behind. being welcomed to the neotheater at the beginning and the end was my favorite little detail in this album.

Overall, this album is an emotional rollercoaster. there are songs that make you think “hey, how did you get into my head?” Theres songs that you listen to get pumped up, songs you listen to to cry, songs you listen to to smile, and much much more inbetween. Overall, this album is about the Human Experience and the things we don’t talk about but always think. Congratulations on your bit of success! welcome to the neotheater, we can’t wait to see what you do next.

ooooh i love stories like that, they’re my favorite to read !!! and omg, i love horror stories too !! and yes definitely, the filler content makes it hard for me to remember what’s going on unless im reading it in one sitting ! but omg that’s such a good idea, im totally gonna do a master list of everything i read now. then i can send it to youuu and ofc reread my favorites too. ooooh yes i actually love fantasy but i really want to read some sapphic fantasy too, omg what is it, i love love love enemies to lovers !! okay i knowww but, you’re perfect to me. omg that’s so sweet, i love telling you them too, i get so many images in my head and i’m so happy you like hearing them. and omg, you’re so sweet im literally so happy you feel that way, i definitely feel so comforted and listened to in all of our conversations. omgggg awwww jdjsjjd i just did it again, like omg you think that ahhhhhssdhdjjd im melting <3 the convo always makes me feel that way hehe djdjdkd but yes omg, the pressed flowers🥺we can write and pick flowers for eachother and press them and then lay in the sun and talk for hours omg yes you’re definitely the sweetest person i’ve ever met, are you kidding ?! you literally make my heart skip a beat everytime we talk. yesss, it’s super nice but i already have a hard time falling asleep, like i can’t stop thinking despite how tired i may be so i’ll be up hours later than i want to be and then it’s even harder if im up too late and have to be awake early, bc then i keep thinking i won’t wake up 😭it’s truly an endless cycle after the first day. but i woke up early today !!! and omg, im going back to work on tuesday and i will absolutely take photos of the sunrise for you and figure out how to put it onto an ask, they’re so beautiful. and when i’m driving i think it depends on my mood so if i’m really awake i like to listen to upbeat music, since i need to be really awake and happy yk (so basically i’ll listen to my liked songs on spotify lmaooo) but if i’m peaceful i love listening to phoebe bridgers, like idk if you’ve heard her music but it’s sad, but like i never listen to it when im sad, i just think it’s really beautiful. like her album “punisher,” i’ve listened to it so many times that i know the correct order the songs should be in because they all follow a plot line. like i was telling one of my coworkers about this, it’s like my favorite thing to talk about hahahha but there’s one song that starts the whole story and then the other songs are in different peoples perspectives from the first song. if that makes sense. it’s really beautiful though. but my current music that i listen to changes a lot, but i do have a connection to like every song i listen to and also make up stories on what i think they’re about. i can talk about this sm more but it would be so long so like tell me if you want me to hahahaha. but YES disobedience, it’s so sad but good, i totally cried when- omg i wrote something but just realized you said you didn’t watch it so i’ll wait till you do. it’s really good. it is, they’re so tender with eachother it’s the sweetest thing. and yesss, that’s what drew me in, the religion aspect because i think it’s so interesting, and it really adds another layer to any queer story or film. omg yes i totally want to visit, totally for the nice people, scenery, variety, general needing to take a trip, mhm mhm. but definitely would come for you the most, i mean i wouldn’t just go to canada to go, that’s a long flight for just some casual tourism… unless of course it involved a flower field and you<3 and you have me feeling the same way, im actually so honored, i get so comforted and excited too and i wanted to talk to you after i first read something you wrote but i didn’t know you did asks for a while, but i’m so so so happy i did and you feel the same omg

GOOD TEARS they were so good. omg, that’s the sweetest thing aww omg, you looked at it again too ahh you’re so sweet. omg this entire message🥺it made me feel so happy, and omg this response is touching too, like wow you literally make me so happy and i’m smiling so much at this rn. and i definitely wanted to be awake instead, id talk to you all night omg. you’re making me gush and melt all the time, you’re actually such an angel. i’m so happy i woke up early so we have more time to talk today, im so excited. jfjdjsjhs “you deserve nothing less” my heart🥺 you deserve nothing less than to be happy and smiling too, and i’m honored i make you feel that way too<3 wow sunrise is early there, do you eat it before the sun rises or while it is rising ? it was 5:30am right ? i slept so well, and i hope you’re sleeping well love <33

-💟

omg, me too, I love stories that explore those themes so much, they're amazing and make me feel so many things. and are you into horror in general? I haven't watched and read a lot of, but it's so interesting when it's used as symbolism for different aspects of human life (like, relationships, family) and really creeps upon you. I'd love to read and watch more. yes omg I'd love to see a masterlist of the stuff you read, I'm so interested. omg omg, okay, I have some sapphic fantasy recs - most of these I haven't read, but really want to. there's The Jasmine Throne, Girls of Paper and Fire (I read this one!), The Warrior's Path, Of Fire and Stars, and The Crier's War. I'm reading The Dark Tide rn! yes, omg, all your images are the kind that make me feel so comforted and warm. omggg you did it again? that is so fucking adorable, I literally think that is the cutest thing in the entire world. like, you nuzzling your head into your pillow kldfkldfj so, so cute. and you're totally right, finding the flowers for each other then pressing them together while getting to just lie down under the sun and eat and talk for hours. okay, you are literally so sweet, I am so happy your heart skips a beat each time, you know exactly how to make me feel so good and gushy ahhhh. oh, shit, I'm so sorry it sometimes is so hard to fall asleep. yeah, sometimes it can be so difficult for your mind to stop whirling and going so fast with all these thoughts. and I definitely understand then why you'd rather try to be in bed a bit earlier if you have to wake up early. ayeee, omg I'm so proud you woke up early!! how did you sleep? yes, yes, you're so sweet, I would absolutely love some sunrise photos!! I have heard pf Phoebe Bridgers, but I don't think I've ever listened to her music. whoa, I actually love that so much, holy shit. like, that is so, so fascinating - an entire series of songs that all follow a storyline, with each one following a different storyline. I am definitely checking it out. and I find it so beautiful you feel such a connection to each song you enjoy, and have stories you think of to them - I would love to hear them all. I do that a bit too, especially if I'm in the car - I'll think of so many adventures and romantic scenarios, haha. yeah, Disobedience seems like quite a tear jerker omg, and same, I like the incorporation of religion because it is such a complex concept. omg, well, I definitely was hoping to see you if you come, I would definitely care a lot more about seeing you than any scenery or tourism. seeing you is definitely my secret motive in advertising Canada, hehe. yeah, I'm seriously so glad you sent in the ask and realized I did them <3

okay, I'm so glad they were good tears <33 yes omg, I had to look at it again because it was so, so sweet. when you say I make you happy, it literally means the entire world to me, and I love it when you are smiling at something. that would literally be the sweetest thing, staying up to talk and chat all night. good, I'm glad you're gushing too, because you always have me feeling so sweet dkjfkd and "angel" dkfjkjf I am okay, I am okay. I am so sorry I am responding so late, though, it was so dark in my room so I stayed in bed for such a long time and had no idea how late into the afternoon it was till I came down. and we eat before sunrise! it was around 5:30. I'm so happy you slept so well, I'm a bit hazy from waking up so late but excited to speak w you <3

2016 Music Madness

Super super overdue but again I wanted to commemorate another good year in music and I definitely think there are some fantastic songs out there despite all the viral ones that only became famous because of challenges-memes. For those who read last year’s list you’d also notice I added new categories (signposted as ‘new’). Hope everyone will try to check out these songs just to get out of your comfort zone but also so that we can discuss them (and fangirl over the artists(!!))

Album of the Year Carly Rae Jensen - Side B

This was a tough one. I’m super biased because I almost awarded Emotion AotY in 2015 but it was beaten by Adele’s later release of 25. This year I was still happily listening to the songs in Emotion but around March Carly released the *songs that didn’t make the cut/didn’t make it to Emotion* and I was so f@*%ing ecstatic because I wanted more of her 80s synth-pop songs. Will be discussing my faves from Side B below.

The reason it was tough was because I also just discovered Alessia Cara’s Know-It-All (released late 2015) in 2016 and I really really like her songs too (pun intended). She is so refreshing not just with her non-pretentious MVs but it’s the first time since Taylor, Adele and Carly that I truly thought the lyrics were great and relatable and were written by a true artist (or maybe I’ve just not tried to discover that many artists in a hot minute). So I’m giving Know-It-All the runner-up award to Best Album of 2016 (even though technically it’s a 2015 album).

Best Comeback - None I can think of/that is notable

Most Surprising Album (in a good way) - Troye Sivan’s Blue Nieighbourhood and Charlie Puth’s Nine Track Mind

Don’t wish to belabor this but I just find it a recurring experience of mine that the first single off any album I almost always am annoyed by. Just like when I initially thought Adele’s Hello was annoyingly sombre when it first came out (because she said it was kind of a ‘revival’ album–of her coming to terms with everything that’s happened in her life so far, so I wasn’t expecting Hello to be the first single off 25, was expecting something more upbeat and revival-y). Anyhoo, Youth from Blue Neighbourhood and Marvin Gaye from Nine Track Mind annoyed the f%@# out of me too initially. Probably because they were always on the radio but I guess like Hello they were songs that just grew on you more than anything. And for the record I understand why the song was named Marvin Gaye but my goodness if he was gonna name a song after a classic artist I feel that the song should’ve at least channeled the artist’s style at the very least? It happened that it was only alluding to the mood that Marvin Gaye songs put people in which is such a waste because Marvin Gaye was a true thespian and master of his craft (listen to What’s Going On and you’ll know what I mean).

Fave New Artist (New) Zara Larsson

People are calling her the ‘White Rihanna’ which I think is unfair because although there are similarities in their music Rihanna is such a queen in her genre and Zara is just starting out (she’s only 19!! Omg I feel so unaccomplished) but I have confidence that this girl is gonna go far (not to say she’ll be Taylor Swift big but I think we haven’t seen much of her yet/she’s only just begun).

fave songs of 2016 (in no particular order) Carly Rae Jensen - Fever, Higher and Store Alessia Cara - I’m yours, Scars to your Beautiful and Overdose Troye Sivan- Wild (ft. Alessia Cara) and Heaven (ft. Betty Who) Charlie Puth - We Don’t Talk Anymore (ft. Selena Gomez), Marvin Gaye (ft. Meghan Trainor) Zara Larsson - Ain’t My Fault and I Would Like Flume - Never Be Like You Michael Posner - I took a pill in Ibiza James Arthur - Say You Won’t Let Go Little Mix - Shoutout to My Ex The Weeknd - I Feel It Coming Maroon 5 - I Dont Wanna Know Drake - One Dance and Too Good (ft. Rihanna) Middle - DJ Snake Chainsmokers - Closer (ft. Halsey) Cashmere Cat - Trust Nobody (ft. Selena Gomez) DNCE - Body Moves Neikd - Sexual Léon - Treasure Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna - This is what you came for

Honorable Mentions Chainsmokers - All We Know and Dont Let Me Down Charlie Puth - Dangerously Meghan Trainor - No Shawn Mendez - Treat You Better and Mercy Flume - Say It (ft. Tove Lo) The Veronicas - On Your Side The Weeknd - Starboy Demi Lovato - body Say Jonas Blue ft. JP Cooper - Perfect Strangers DNCE - Toothbrush Léon - Tired of Talking (remix) Jonas Blue - By Your Side Bad things - Machine gun Kelly ft. Camilla Cabello

DJ Snake ft. justin Bieber - Let Me Love You

Most Overrated Song (New) Side to Side - Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj

Im a fan of both artists (don’t judge but yes I listen to Nicki from time to time) but I just couldn’t with this song. I don’t know what the hype is all about.

Most Disappointing Song Release/Collaboration (New) Cold Water - Major Lazer and Justin Bieber

I enjoy some of Major Lazer's songs and as you know I selected Justin as best comeback of 2015 but even though this song went into the top 10 charts I was still disappointed. Not their best work tbh.

Artist with Potential (but needs to tweak his/her current Sound - New) Bebe Rexha - trying too hard to be edgy but I think she’ll shine with more ballads (In the Name of Love ft. G-Eazy was pretty good)

Annoying (but still OK) Can’t stop the feeling - Justin Timberlake Black Beatles - Rae Sremmurd

When Trolls came out, this. song. Was. Everywhere. All. The. Damned. Time. Black Beatles was slightly better because I didn’t mind it with the mannequin challenge–but really it was everywhere too😅 #annoyingaf

Best Animated Movie Song (New) How Far I’ll Go - both Auli'i Cravalho and Alessia Cara versions

Shoutout to Disney for finally getting a Pacific Islander Princess. Some problematic Orientalisms and slight cultural appropriation aside, I’m letting it slide because wtf at least Disney is trying and we all know diversity has to start somewhere. Moana was a good first step and as a Pacific Islander myself I really dont mind it. First time ever that I can 100% fully relate to a Disney Princess even down to the overprotective parents and amazing grandma😭😂😝 I cried watching. Twice (or maybe thrice oops).

Most Annoying Song (shouldn’t have been made) Juju on the Beat - Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall

Read up on this because it was such a WTF Song moment and what I found out was that these were two middle school boys who wanted to go viral on the internet. Yes, boys. Yes, because they wanted to be viral. Go figure why this song sucks 🙃

Album I recognise as a work of art but I just can’t get on the bandwagon (New) Lemonade - Beyoncé (maybe it’ll grow on me too but atm I still can’t and please don’t hate me I’m just being honest)

Indie Music I couldn’t stop listening to (New) A Place You Like - ISLAND Her and Drive - Glades Wake Up Where You Are - State of Sound

Spotify playlist most played (New) Today’s Top Hits Quiet Evening Throwback Thursday

Oldies but goodies/Old Songs I like and rediscovered in 2016 (New) Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

Notable Cover Songs Shane Ericks - the Carpenter’s You cover and Love Me for What I Am cover Citizen Four - I Feel it Coming cover and Black Beatles cover (with Kurt Hugo Schneider) Alex Aiono and William Singe - Black Beatles and Confessions mashup Harvey and Samantha Harvey - We Don’t Talk Anymore and Perfect Strangers mashup Alex G and Sam Tsui - We Don’t Talk Anymore and I Don’t Wanna Know mashup The Three of Us - Middle cover Jonas Blue - Fast Car cover

The Good Riddance Award (New) Fifth Harmony - for axe-ing Camilla Cabello because she was so antithetical to the idea of a 5th harmony. She was always a diva (music-wise in that she ALWAYS sticks out and doesn’t even try to blend with the rest). I’m kinda over her tbh and that’s not to say I don’t think she’s good. I do think she’s a great singer. She just was never a girl-group player.
