YEONJUN

Roza and Yeonjun have known each other since early 2018 when both were big hit trainees but this doesn't stop them hyping each other up. During a 2022 award show Yeonjun and Roza had a collaboration where the two would be performing a duet of taemin’s Heart stop featuring Seulgi. 

While preparing for the performance, they were filming behind the scenes. “And here we have Roza!” Yeonjun pointed the camera at Roza and she waved. “Hello Moa!”. “We have a very special performance prepared for you guys, I hope you love it!”. “Yes we are working very hard”. “Roza has been working very hard as well. Everytime i see her dance I get blown away!” Yeonjun said as Roza got flustered. “Thank you! But I'm definitely not better than you. Yeonjun 4 gen it boy!” The two laughed as they continued to practice. 

The camera filmed as they continued to learn the dance. Roza was a fast learner, learning the dance almost straight away. “Wow, you're so good!” Yeonjun said as he watched her continued to watch Roza dance. “That's a professional,” He said, pointing at her. “Real talent!”. Roza, getting shy, stopped dancing. “Don't stop… you’re so cool!”.

WINTER

Roza and Winter became friends shortly after both groups debuted in November of 2020. During an award show ENHYPEN were performing their most recent songs, when the camera cut to winter staring in awe as Roza performed her part. Winter got surprised and laughed as the camera cut back to ENHYPEN.

The next day Winter was on live when fans started asking questions about Roza. “oh Roza? We became friends shortly after debut, we are very close”. She smiled as she continued to giggle. “Yesterday she was so cool during Enhypens' performance… i was in awe as many of you saw” she blushed remembering being caught on the cameras simping. “I was shocked to see myself on the big screen, but I think many of you can relate to how I felt. She's a true idol!”

As Enhypen were at Mcountdown doing their interview when they were asked to sing XO. Roza and Heeseung sang as Niki and Sunghoon danced in front. Hanbin was seen at the back smiling in awe as he listened and watched them perform. “Wow, your vocals are so good!” he said as she was standing next to him. She blushed as she bowed to thank him. Both smiled shyly as they continued with the interview. 

˖ ✧ ⸻

KEEHO

Even though the two are broken up they are still friends. Keeho still finds Roza very pretty and sometimes can help but stare if he sees her during an award show. Enhypen and P1Harmony were sitting next to each other as they watched other idol groups perform and accept awards. 

While Enhypen were accepting an award, when Roza was shown on the big screen. Many fans screamed at her visuals. Keeho couldn't stop himself from reacting, also smiling at her beauty on the screen. Which many noticed and later was posted all over social media.

Roza and trainees Nari and Jihyun get up to perform Red Velvet’s ‘Bad Boy’. “Wow, they're really good… makes me more nervous.” Sunoo nodded his head in agreement. “They're on another level.” 

After the girls finished and got their votes they sat back down. “Roza did the best for real.” Sunoo whispered to jake. “She's so pretty too! Makes me jealous.” Sunoo laughed at Jake's statement. “Jealous… okay hyung.” “Seriously, she's pretty and talented, she's like the perfect human being.” Jake's eyes are still on Roza, admiring her beauty. Sunoo watched as Jake fell in love.

Even the trainees were amazed as they watched her sing. “Wow, unnie is so good!” Wonyoung said. “She really is!” Yena said back. “I think I fell in love!” 

˖ ✧ ⸻

YEDAM

Roza had arrived on set for Yedam’s solo music video ‘WAYO’. “Oh you're here!” Yedam smiled as Roza walked up to him wrapped in a blanket. “I'm so tired… Why is it so early.” “oh you'll live.” He laughed as Roza glared at him. “See that guys, that’s real friend. No concern." "I do care.” “no you don't” staff laughing at the twos interaction. 

Later Roza was filming some solo scenes. Yedam grabbed a camera and started filming her. “Look at her… she's so pretty she makes it look easy. Flawless” he laughed as he continued to watch her. After she was done Roza found her way to Yedam. “How did I do?” “fantastic, really… you looked really pretty.” “ayyy, you think I'm pretty…” She batted her eyes at him. “Don't push it..” “okay.” she giggled. “You give this girl one complement and it goes straight to her head.” Yedam joked as he looked at the camera. 

˖ ✧ ⸻

BONUS - STAFF

Enhypen was doing the rehearsal for the MAMA performance and Roza had a solo dance performance. As she stood on stage ready to dance, the Enhypen members and staff stood on the side ready to watch. The music started and everyone stood amazed as Roza began dancing. “Wahh, she's so good!” “she's so mesmerizing!” 

After finishing, the staff clapped for Roza as she came backstage. “How do you think you did?” Roza looked up as a staff member pointed a camera at her. “I think I did alright… maybe I could make my moves more sharp?” she questioned. “I think you did perfect,” Manger Yuki said as Roza laughed. “Really?” “Of course! Enhypen members always do well.” Many staff nodded in agreement. “Our staff is the best!” Roza giggled.

damn crew hcs because i miss them every day they’re not posted </3

sometimes when gavin is hanging out with his friends he’ll just. flop down on top of them if they’re sitting or lying down. genuine cat behavior. he gets very comfortable, his ear over their heart and their hand in his. he savors every second he gets. he also complains when any of them tell him they wanna get up

“can you move for a second gav? i wanna refill my drink” “just say you hate me.”

(for someone with such severe self worth issues) damien pampers himself SO much when if comes to hygiene. matching fragrances across all his products, shower steamers, bath bombs, candles, the whole deal. on friday nights you’ll find him wrapped in a plush bathrobe with a matching headband pushing his hair back, a clay mask smeared on his skin. he has a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, with some soft classical instrumentals pumping from the tv speakers. huxley loves coming home to find him so relaxed

sometimes, when he’s upset, huxley will go out into the backyard and lie in the grass for a while - letting the solid ground hold him and the soft grass caress him. other times, when he’s very upset, he’ll dig a hole and lie down in that instead. he feels safer, grounded (ha) and closer to his element. damien checks on him periodically with offerings of snacks and water

lasko is something of a fashionista (it might be why he and milo got along as well as they did at the E&E games) - he’s very meticulous about his closet; every item is lovingly sorted by type, color, material, and season. he frets whenever his “best” pieces are still in the laundry and no combination of the things he has on hand looks “good enough”. he’ll say it’s about being presentable but he also really just likes feeling pretty. dear assures him that he always looks lovely and helps him find an outfit he can at least tolerate for the day. such a diva

freelancer has an absolute BLAST on karaoke night. they’ve sung at least three (3) lovey-dovey duets with each of their friends and aim to do even more. (at first damien took some convincing with a direly serious “you love me, right?🥺”) as of late, their favorite singing partner has been dear - they’re always happy to indulge their freelancer and both their voices just blend so beautifully

in their quiet nature, dear has picked up on a lot of campus gossip when the people around them thought no one was listening. sometimes their students will come up to them and directly fill them in on the most recent, hottest rumors. they know how to keep a secret, but if damien needs dirt on another staff member he always knows who to ask

and speaking of - don’t let their professional appearances fool you; damien and lasko are total suckers for gossip. when their lunch breaks align with dear’s, nobody on campus is safe from their shit talk. lasko has a surprisingly sharp tongue where he feels it’s warranted

ok, think this:

you and lu childhood friends. close to the hip, always playing together outside, riding your bikes together, go to the same school. your friends tease you, i mean, boys are terrible, they’re gross, how are you besties with one. you couldn’t care less, y’all have so much fun together. catching the ice cream truck in the summer and getting vanilla chocolate swirls. sitting on the park bench, looking at birds in the trees, both of your parents wondering where you guys have been. getting invited to the mangione family picnics, playing with super soakers, laughing around with Lu, his sisters and cousins. going to the library together, his older sister taking you guys while she’s there for one of those teen computer curriculum sessions. spending hours in the fiction aisle, listening to each other read in funny voices. You asking Lu who’s this penguin writing all these classics? Him bursting in laughter, much to the librarian’s disapproval.

all changes in grade 5, when Lu’s parents transfer him to Gilman, the all boys private school. Lu was vehemently against it, for so many reasons, but the biggest being he wouldn’t be able to hang out and see you everyday. it hurt him, but as a boy just growing up and beginning puberty, he wasn’t really sure why it hurt him the way it did, and if there’s one thing Lu is good at, it’s avoiding his emotions. so, one day in the park, before the start of the school year, when you express how sad you are that you’ll no longer be together in class, playing at recess, taking the school bus together after class, the sadness he feels hits so hard suddenly and he doesn’t know how to vocalize it, or even fully understand what he feels, so he does what he does best, just puts up a front, brushes it off. “oh, it’s not that serious, i mean, it’s not like we’re always going to be close, that’s weird, you know.” he immediately regrets it once he sees the look on your face, like you’ve been slapped. but he can’t back down now, cause he isn’t about to pour his heart out when he doesn’t even know where these feelings are coming from anyway and he doesn’t want to scare you off. but when he sees you silently retreat and put a distance between how you were sitting, he feels like he’s been hit in the gut. you start to think maybe the girls were right, “boys are terrible.”

you guys lose touch after that, you continue your way, he continues his way at gilman. you both excel at your studies, another thing you both had in common, loving to read and learn new things. it’s like you two were mirror images of each other, both top scholars, both athletic, both outgoing. you think about him a lot, especially when you see his family around town, or his nonna at church (your parents put you in the choir, no if, ands or buts.) his nonna always liked you, said you always smiled with your whole face.

you’re both teens now, wow has time passed. you’re still in choir because you find you love to sing, and the sound of the organ playing in the church hall always soothes you for some reason. the choir is preparing for its annual Christmas show that they host in the church. you’re excited because they picked you to sing the lead in The Prayer, a duet originally sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, with your choir friend Andrew. He’s a bit older, and you think him and his girlfriend Meadow are the cutest couple ever, you wish to have a relationship like theirs, they always seem happier in each others company. You’re a bit nervous because you have to sing Italian in some parts of the song, and being the perfectionist you are, you want to get it right! Especially since it’s the grand finale of the show.

Day of the show arrives, and the pre-performance jitters are really getting to you. It’s all fine when you’re singing with the choir ensemble, songs and hymns of the Christmas season. But when Bianca, the head of the choir, lets you and Andrew know that you’ll be up next in 2 minutes, the butterflies in your stomach increase ten-fold. You suddenly feel like your voice is going to give out, light-headed at the prospect of potentially messing up and not hitting all the notes. “Just relax, you’re going to surprise everyone, you have the best voice here!” says Andrew, trying to calm your nerves. He continues, “just look at me if you get nervous, we’ll keep each other in check.” You nod, feeling a bit at ease, even though your hands are still a bit shaky.

Bianca introduces you and Andrew and the song you’ll be singing. You both walk up together to the platform, the pews full of people, though the lights have been dimmed in the church hall so you can’t quite make out who’s there. The opening notes of the song begin, and you let yourself just feel the music, and let go. “Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, to a place where we’ll be safe” you sing in perfect tone. The next verse is a call and response, with Andrew singing his parts in Italian and you responding in English. The melody between you two is going so well, every note sung with emotion.

The next part is the height of the song, both of you having to sing together in Italian. You take a deep breath before getting into the verse, and look to your left to see Andrew looking at you, his eyes at ease. You feel a bit more grounded, smiling and letting your voice carry throughout the church hall. Your voice with Andrews blends so well, that when both of you finish hitting your high notes in that verse, people immediately begin to clap, even as the song continues. You smile and continue to sing, closing your eyes and feeling the emotion as the song begins to reach its conclusion. The last verse is in Italian, and you sing it with such melodic conviction “E la fede che, Hai acceso in noi. Sento che ci salverà…”

As you both conclude the last note together, a rupture of applause breaks your trance, everyone on their feet. You and Andrew both bow as you take in the cheers. You see Lu’s nonna sitting right in the first row of pews, and you make sure to smile wide directly at her with your whole face. she instantly smiles back.

A few rows behind, you see a set of dark brown curls though you can’t quite see the face. You find yourself hoping it’s someone you used to know, even though you aren’t sure he even remembers who you are…

Everyone is gathered in the Church basement for an after-show gathering, filled with food, beverages and music. So many people come up to you, complimenting you on your performance and your impeccable voice. You’ve been blushing the whole night, you aren’t very good at receiving compliments so you tend to get pretty embarrassed. As you’re finishing up speaking to one of the regular church attendees, you feel someone tap your shoulder. You turn around and see it’s Andrew, who you haven’t actually seen since you both walked off the stage and were surrounded by your choir ensemble. You both smile at each other and he pulls you into a tight hug. “You absolutely hit it out of the park!” Andrew exclaims. You respond with the same enthusiasm, letting him know that his voice was so good, and his performance was so emotive. As Andrew continues to talk about the details of the performance, you sense in your peripheral vision a pair of eyes staring your way. You turn my head just a bit and your eyes stop in their tracks. You see Lu, right there, and once you lock eyes with him, he immediately looks away, his eyes darting in all directions except your way. He starts to run his hand through his curls a bit, which even when he was younger was always a sign of him being nervous. Your mind tries to process the fact that he’s here, especially since he’s never been the biggest fan of these types of Church events.

“—special, you know that?”

Your eyes go back to Andrew, and you immediately apologize to him for missing that last part.

“Haha, I said you’re special, you know that? And regardless of what you sometimes tell yourself, please never forget it.” You appreciate his kind words, and he gives you another hug before telling you he’s going to find Meadow who’s texted him that she’s got a big slice of tiramisu waiting for him at the table.

You wave goodbye, and as you watch Andrew disappear into the crowd, your eyes immediately go back to a familiar figure who appears to be walking in your direction, hands fidgeting slightly on his sides as he gets closer. He stops right in front of you, and you’re immediately faced with a ghost from your past, a person who meant so much to you at one point, maybe even still does, even though you’ve tried telling yourself the opposite many times over the years.

You hear his voice directed at you for the first time in years, and it immediately hits you right in the chest. “Hey, you were–you di–you were so amazing tonight” he stutters through his words a bit, which surprises you since Lu’s never been the one to shy away in a convo, always had a determined voice, full of confidence. “Thanks Lu, it means a lot coming from you,” you respond. Upon hearing your response, he looks right at you with such intensity, almost as if he’s staring right into your soul, his mouth parted like he’s stuck in a trance. You both are caught in each others eyes for a moment, not saying anything. You decide to smile, because seeing him after all these years does bring a warmth to you. You suddenly notice his pupils dilate and he immediately looks down to the floor, his hand coming up to run it through his curls. You could tell he’s nervous, but there’s also something else there too, almost a feeling of desperation and longing, but of what, you can’t quite place.

He takes a moment to look to the side of the room, using his tongue to poke his cheek, trying to ground himself, reel himself back in. He looks back down and takes a deep breath, before locking eyes with you again. He looks blushed a bit in the face, but the next words out of his mouth are more steady, determined, almost as if he’s intent on getting to the truth, “You and the guy you were singing with, seems like you two are close. Is it that– I mean are you–”

Anon, this is such a FUCKING masterpiece what in the entirety of fucks!!!! ����😩😩😩😩😩

Like c’mon Luigi, say it, don’t spray it, are they WHAT????

I also love how Nonna loves you 🥺 but this is just PERFECT omfg

Summary <3 : What happends if your dating the high school’s so-called ‘bad boy’?

If this man falls, he falls hard

Okay so starting off a week when you guys start dating is that he takes things rather slow like he doesn’t want to make you rush the relationship

At the first few weeks he is romantic, he buys you your favorite drinks before the first class starts, he always waits for you whenever you guys go to school (because whenever you see him riding his motorcycle you keep telling him to stop using it to school or tell him to be careful but majority of the time you just slide it off and let him be) and he always and I mean ALWAYS walks you home to school even if he’s tired, but if he’s busy then he’ll ask Cho-rong, he’s just worried about you yk?

Whenever you go to school, he would be constantly by your side (except the restroom ofc ew🤨) walking to school? beside you, talking with Soo-ah or Jukyung? beside you while scrolling to social media, lunch break? beside you while adding some of you favorite side dish from his plate and putting it to your plate, while on that topic, he’s next to you on lunch, someone tries to sit next to you? booped to the side, you remember that scene where he booped Soo-ah from the side after trying to sit next to Jukyung? yep just like that

He’s always trying to make your day, and he knows what your favorites are, you like a certain drink that’s not in the school cafeteria? he’s always buying it whenever he has the chance so that he could see the smile on your face whenever he gives it to you :))

He’s overprotective too, because you’re so beautiful that tons of voice actually ask you for your number, inside the school the other boys knows to back off but when you’re outside, it’s hard especially when you’re alone and  Sung-yon manages to notice you and immediately knows that your seojun’s s/o😭

His mom loves you a lot because you were able to make him smile🥹 and you are a really nice company and their house because technically you’re best friends with gowoon, she would tell you about the embarrassing things that seojun does!

(bonus if u can sing, you and gowoon always duet songs and challenge one another on who can hit the high note hsjdbd)

‘might write part two tomorrow or so hshdbdhd😭’

ps. THIS TOOK ME A LONG TIME BCS I AM NEW IM SORRY IF ITS BAD😤 btw request box is open <333

For those who wanted to hear about lyric changes in the previews:

The performances werent even that different in the previews: it was the SCRIPT with the good stuff, since that had even the little pencil additions while they were editing the show what I will assume was mid-rehearsal.

There's a LOT for me to discuss, so I'll just talk about the bits that had the most shocking changes to me: The Confrontation and Stars!

This is all copy-pasted from my google doc i've just typed up. Under the cut as I ramble on a little bit.

Feel free to ask questions!

THE CONFRONTATION

The staging was basically identical to the original staging, y’know, with the chair. Although in the footage, the chair did NOT break upon Colm Wilkinson slamming it on the ground, and he had to rip the leg off with some effort which really broke the immersion that Jean Valjean was like the strongest man in France or whatever, especially after having lifted the cart a couple scenes ago.

One minor change before we get to the big bit, as there’s not really much to say. A simple word: You’ll wear another chain. Which is of course a different chain in the modern lyric.

Anyway, the juicy part - the original lyrics to the first verse of the Confrontation duet. The 2nd verses were identical to the modern ones, but Javert’s was VASTLY different:

I have watched you through the years, Growing rich and full of pride, Looking down on men like me! Hiding what you had to hide! How you loved to see us crawl! How we had to scrape and bow! Now the wheel has come around! Jean Valjean is nothing now!

Brutal. As mentioned, the 2nd verse was the same as it is now (or at least, I didn’t take down any other changes). Now, Valjean’s verse was similar to the modern lyrics, with some notable differences:

You know nothing of my life* How I saw the children starve All I did was steal some bread I’ve wiped away my crime! You know nothing of the world You are deaf to every voice You would sooner see me dead And dead before my time!

*”life” was initially “past”.

Not much else to say about it as it was essentially just the "original" staging everyone is used to with the chair leg.

Here's where I ramble on a bit:

STARS

At this point in the show, Stars was right BEFORE Look Down, instead of after The Robbery, after Javert chases everyone offstage. So, the scene plays out as Jean Valjean taking Cosette from the Thenardiers as usual, and there’s a wordless (no “come Cosette, come my dear” etc verses, its silent with the Castle On A Cloud instrumental) musical section as Valjean and Cosette hang out sweetly before leaving the stage following.... A foreboding street lamp? It was hard to make out in the footage. Anyway, after they exit the stage together, out of the dark comes Javert. Which is when he starts singing Stars. In the footage he sung the version we hear in the OLCR, but in the script it was very different, even including what seemed to be a cut opening verse before the main song began. It had a big pencil line through it, implying it was cut even before the previews began. I do not know to which tune it was set to, I can only assume one of his motifs, but it went as thus:

He’s here in the night With the creatures that hide from the light With the prowlers Who wait for the shadows to fall. The darkness is his For he can never change what he is And the stars in the vigilance They see it all.

And from there Stars began... “as usual”. There were still some changes, as they were clearly still working it out when that script was written. For example, there was in fact another cut verse which shared similarity in lyrics to another verse, and so I assume was just worked into that and thought obsolete:

And so it has been And so it must be The lesson is there to learn That those who falter And those who fall Must burn Must burn.

I mean, raw! But... it’s definitely a janky structure. You’ll see whereabouts that was originally in a second.

This might be hard to explain thanks to the way I have my notes written leaving out some information that would have been nice to know NOW, but I’ll try my best to explain. 

The order of the verses were different. There were numbers written next to them to put them in the order they appear in the OLCR, so this made my job very easy in creating a shorthand way to copy down what order they were in. As follows:

*In the modern lyrics, it is “and if you fall / As Lucifer fell / The flame, / The sword.” However, in the script, it was “You fall / In flames.” Which does not appear until the 2nd time that motif is used in the modern version of the song. Not really a groundbreaking note, but still interesting!

And that's all I have on that, as far as changes go. I had performance notes on Roger Allam's performances because to be honest, he was PHENOMENAL, even from an acting standpoint - he really knew when and where to actually MOVE - but thats for another time.

Hope this was as interesting to you as it was to me! Any questions about the previews footage/original script, please let me know and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability !!

I Need A Little Fabulous, Is That So Wrong?

Alexa play "Fabulous" by Sharpay Evans

I'm going to start this post off with an anecdote.

Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew I wanted more. I knew that this life wasn't up to my standards.

"Now, how could you possibly know that when you were a kid? You're just exaggerating." I was an only child to a single mom, so I was SPOILED.

I wanted every single toy that I laid eyes on. That Barbie dream house? I got it. That easy-bake oven? I got it. That bicycle? That scooter? That Wii? Playstation? XBox? Oh, I got it all.

So basically, I got everything I could ever want, and as one would imagine, I became a little spoiled, a little bougie, if you will. And honestly, I love me for it.

So today, I was listening to the High School Musical soundtrack (the second and the third ones) and just some Love lore for you: I love Sharpay; I always adored her.

She knows what she wants, and she's not afraid to go after it. Granted, she might about it in some...unfavorable ways...but she does it nonetheless.

And let's be honest: She's an icon. What would High School Music even be without Sharpay?

In the second movie, there's a song that is sung at her country club entitled "Fabulous," and if you aren't familiar, here is a verse:

"I want fabulous, That is my simple request, All things fabulous, Bigger and better and best, I need something inspiring to help me get along, I need a little fabulous is that so wrong?"

And my goodness, did little ol me agree with this (surprise, I still do.) I want fabulous, I want it all! (You'll see what I did there.) Do you want to know the twisted thing about life?

Nobody ASKED to be here, we were all born here against our will. So what is the harm in wanting the best things in life?

What is wrong with wanting just a little bit of fabulous? We have been forced to accept the terms and conditions of the game of life.

The terms and conditions say that we can't want more. The terms say that we have to stay in our place, that we can't have it all.

But honestly, fuck the terms and conditions because a bitch doesn't read them anyway so if I want fabulous then that's what I'm going to get.

Now, what exactly does a Disney Channel song have to do with the law?

Well, I don't know about you but when I listen to this song I feel, for a lack of better words, like that bitch. Hey, that's just what Sharpay does to me! When I listen to this song, it makes me think about how little I do think. Sharpay says she wants bigger and better because better is bigger, and I find that so inspirational.

This is MY life! And if I want that dream house with that vintage pink Cadillac with 24-karat rims, then why not have it? In the words of Sharpay, "I need a little fabulous is that so wrong?"

I Want It ALL!

Alexa play "I Want It All" by Sharpay Evans

After I got done listening to Fabulous while simultaneously envisioning my desired life, I tuned into I Want It All (you see what I did there?) the song that Sharpay sings in the third movie.

Let's see what she says:

"Imagine having everything we ever dreamed Don't you want it? (Maybe) can't you see it? (Kinda)"

Now, it is to be noted that this is a duet that she sings with her brother, Ryan (he's the one in the parentheses).

And I want y'all to get out of the Ryan mindset and be more like Sharpay.

You see how optimistic she is? Asking her brother if he can see the bright future ahead of them.

And look how he responds, "Maybe" and "Kinda." Don't be a Ryan.

That that uncertainty into a fact. You can imagine everything that you ever dreamed; you want it, and you definitely can see it.

Let's jump ahead to another verse:

"I want it, I want it, I want it The fame and the fortune and more (I want it all) I want it, I want it, I want it I gotta have my star on the door I want the world nothing less All the glam and the press Only giving me the best reviews"

Read this, and now read it again. Want it. Nothing is too big for you, and when you think it is, THINK BIGGER.

Go beyond your limits, take the world and nothing less. Be greedy; claim your desires.

olivia rodrigo songs the glee cast would've devoured

good 4 u - my top dog marley rose would've been sick at this. knowing ryan murphy he'd probably have tried to make it some ohio/new york duet with rachel NO. no ryan murphy listen to me marley would devour this with her teenage angst brain

traitor - ryan murphy is stupid pt2 he would definitely have made rachel sing this NO. blaine anderson would leave no crumbs on this song. kurt made eye contact with a guy and he is spiralling. darren criss i want nothing more in life than i want your vesion of this song

enough for you - would kinda fuck with tina cohen chang singing this icl

bad idea right? - please don't make mr schue rap this ryan murphy. tbh i can kind of see brittany doing this. kickass dance time backed up by the cheerios type shit

all american bitch - quinn fucking fabray did you even have to ask

lacy - you know as well as i do rachel would sing this and ryan murphy would call it heterosexual

pretty isn't pretty - obviously another homoerotic faberry duet. marley could do this as well, but tbh marley could do most of these songs without a problem because she's That Girl (read: angsty teenager)

vampire - mercedes would slay the house down. this is absolutely the kind of song she would've sung after her brief fling with puck, not because she cared that much but for the Plot

the grudge - santana. it would be about her abuela. somebody that i used to know style they'd turn a breakup song into a family-tragedy song and i would eat it UP

(there is no part 2 because these are the only olivia rodrigo songs i know! suck my dick ryan murphy)

[seancekitsch]

Can you do Jaskier catching you singing while doing something domestic?

it’s been a while but here it finally is!

For Jaskier, hearing his own songs being sung to him isn’t out of the blue. Plenty of people sing along in taverns or forget the titles of his songs and sing a chorus or a verse or two to explain themselves to him. However he’s never heard a voice so lovely, with a tone so clear and timbre so sweet. And really, it’s not like he’s used to hearing any of this outside of a town.

Jaskier stares up at the trees that make his canopy, at the trees that shield the hansa from the elements and you all have slept more or less in a pile under for almost two days now.

“But the story is this: she’ll destroy with her sweet kiss,” the voice sings, and Jaskier sits up with a start, untangling the arms of Geralt, Regis, Milva, Angouleme, and Cahir off of him in their cold little huddle for warmth as they push further into the winter.

He looks about him, and counts. The only one missing… you.

He follows the sound of the voice, now correctly matched to you, the typically silent member of the Hansa; only loud when you argue with Angouleme over who gets the last bit of cheeseboard when you all can afford a tavern. More often thought you are silent, observing, and using it to your advantage when you can.

Jaskier rises from his spot and follows the sound of your voice like a siren’s song.

Your voice, your song- HIS song, leads him to nearest body of water, a small lake still ebbing and flowing before the cold sets in for the season. You’ve taken it upon yourself to grab everyone’s extra clothing from their bags and do some washing.

“I’m weak, my love, and I am wanting,” you sing, your tone growing… sad? as Jaskier approaches, he starts to hum along.

“If this is the path I must trudge-“

“I’ll welcome my sentence, give you my penance,” Jaskier finishes the line, and you jump, practically throwing yourself into the water.

“Sorry!” He grabs your shoulders gently, bracing you.

“Butchered that worse than Geralt would, I reckon,” you joke, peering up at him not shyly, but in that quiet defiance that sometimes shakes him to his core.

“No,” he responds, breathy and stunted like the song took the words from him, “Beautiful. You’re beautiful.”

Your lips ease into a smirk, your whole face softening at his words… the ones he realizes he just spoke.

“I mean- the song, your voice.”

“I’ll take those compliments, all of them,” you joke, and rise to stand with the finished laundry in your hands.

“But can you take these back to camp for me? I only have yours left to finish.”

Even his? He didn’t even notice his own clothing in a pile next to you,

“Why do you do this for us?”

“Easy, I don’t like when you all smell like horse and I don’t want to argue to make you do your own washing,” you answer, shrugging as you turn back to his clothes.

“I like this shirt on you,” you comment, pulling one from his pile.

“And the singing?” He asks, not at all wanting to move from his spot next to you.

“Favorite song of yours,” you respond, dunking the shirt into the water.

Jaskier looks back to the camp, noticing that finally the rest of the Hansa has begun to stir.

“Will you duet with me next time, then?” He asks, hopeful to get another chance to hear that rare voice.

“Maybe if you help me with the washing,” you retort, your smile telling him all he needs to know.

Hypothetical Cobra Kai Musical Songs (Season 2)

WE BACK IN THIS HOE

Yall know what it is. What if Cobra Kai was or had a Musical? Well, this is what I think a couple of the songs in Season 2 would be like.

I was a little confused on what the first song should be but then it came to me. It starts as basically a celebration song between Miguel, Aisha, Hawk, and the rest of the cobras about how they won, they’re badass and all that. It’s trumpet heavy, with some guitars and drums. And then halfway through the song, Johnny cuts in and changes the whole vibe, talking about how they won unfairly, and admonishing them for their dishonorable tactics and cheap moves. His lines would be cold, strict and the music behind it would be mostly drums and perhaps a few trumpets, etc etc. Not quite sure of a name for it, ngl.

I try to think of at least one song for each episode in a season, but I’m drawing a blank on Episode 2. Hmmm. I guess a reprise of Pain is Power while the students are training in the cement mixer, sung by Johnny and Kreese.

Then, another Johnny song, wow, I’m really giving this man a lot of screentime, ion even like this guy. Anyway, it’s him explaining all of the Keene-Lawrence lore to Miguel, telling him about how he was never there for Robby because he could never build up the courage, and by the time he did, it was far too late. It would be uncharacteristically sullen, with a background track composed of violins, flutes, piano, etc. I think the song should be called Fall Again, and in the feel of the lyrics, I think it would be a lot like Die Together by Fabvl, primarily the chorus.

Episode 4 doesn’t get a song because I can’t think of one rip.

Next, maybe a short sonata during the Eli flashback at the start of the episode about how much of a fucking loser everyone thinks he is, ending with Hawk saying the last words in the present day. It’d be about a minute long, wouldn’t take up too much time. No idea what to call it, ngl.

Next, a dramatic ass song from Daniel about him admonishing Johnny for the vandalism of Miyagi Do, starting with pure accusations towards him and his dojo, and then him lecturing the students about the true nature of Cobra Kai, which results in half of the leaving as in canon, It would be exactly like Mastermind from the newest episode of Helluva Boss, well, not ‘exactly’, but like, the same genre and feel. I’d call it Too Far. 

I REALLY want to put a Kreese solo here in Episode 6, but I feel like that should wait until Season 3 since that’s the season where he’s the sole and biggest antagonist. So instead, I’m going to have a song with Johnny’s three friends on their road trip. After Johnny brings up how he brought the dojo back and allowed Kreese to put his grubby little hands on it, each of the friends launches into a musical number about how their lives went downhill after Cobra Kai and all the bullshit it put in their brains. Tommy’s section at the end would be especially passionate, all of this would really put some doubt in Johnny’s mind. No clue what I’d call it lmao, I’m sorry-

Next up, a song between Miguel and Hawk. It’s a song-rap battle type deal, think Fight of Our Lives from Descendants Rise of Red except significantly less cringe. So basically It’s Goin’ Down. It’s starts when Hawk reveals that he did all the vandalism and stole the medal, and it’s an argument that conveys that Miguel leans to Johnny and Hawk leans to Kreese. Hawk calls himself a revolutionary while Miguel calls him a criminal. …yeah I don’t have a name for this one either, I’m SORRY-

And then, a Robby and Sam love duet. Now, I do feel bad about giving Robby and Sam a duet like this and not Tory and Miguel (which is honestly just because I have no idea where to put it), but I think it works because imo Robby and Sam’s relationship was way more genuine and interesting than Tory and Miguel’s. I think Tory and Miguel got together just because the other was there. Anyway, this would be a short bop, in the same vein as Meant to Combine from Zombies the PEAKanimated series. I’d probably call it Sugar and Spice, because they go together like, well, Sugar and Spice. Also to show how Sam’s from a good place and a sweetheart (Sugar), and how Robby’s rough around the edges because he’s from a bad life (Spice).

Then a short Daniel and Amanda duet, mostly of their reconciliation, I’d take inspiration from ‘Wouldn’t Change A Thing’ from Camp Rock 2 (I think it was 2, I’m not sure). It’s mainly about Amanda talking about how the company’s going under because of Daniel’s obsession and Daniel opening up about the trauma and pain he faced at the hands of Cobra Kai and how he wants to stop them before they hurt other kids. But in the end, they resolve to come to a compromise. Calling it Priorities, because, well, that’s what it’s mostly about. 

For the next song, I’m thinking maybe a Johnny Daniel duet? About the stories of their past or something? It could take place when they’re all at the Mexican restaurant and Amanda and Carmen go to the bathroom. Honestly, not sure of this at all, I just wanted a song for the events of Episode 9 (and to prepare for the emotional sniper shot the next song is going to be).

Up next, Robby solo. Taking place after Daniel banishes him for the second time. It’s an emotional, orchestral solo about how Robby has been being abandoned and cast away his entire life, and how he thought he was finally in a place where he was valued, cared for, even loved, but then it all got ripped away from him like all the times before. You know how in all musical, there’s always one singer that’s just unabashedly a better vocalist than everyone else? I imagine that’s what Robby’s actor would be. So this one would just hurt to listen to, but also be heat. Think Waiting in the Wings from Tangled The Series. Actually, it’s EXACTLY like Waiting in the Wings from Tangled the Series. Legit can’t think of a better basis for this song. Maybe some Everything I Ever Thought I Knew from the same series. I’d probably call it Clockwork because of how he feels like everything’s repeating.

And then the finale song, taking place during the school fight. It’s absolute pandemonium with harmonies, clashing lyrics, all kinds of lyrics, each main teen rivalry would get a verse, it would be insane. First starting with Miguel and Robby’s lyrics, basically insulting each other about their places with Sam and Johnny respectively, Miguel takes cheap shots at Robby about how his father gave him up, weaponizing the information he learned in Fall Again, but then Robby claps back about how Miguel basically fucked over his own relationship with Sam. 

And then Hawk and Demetri, it’s a Hawk heavy segment of him hunting Demetri down, talking about how he can’t run forever and how he’s going to get what’s coming to him, mocking Demetri about his philosophy, maybe calling back to Under the Radar and Flip the Script. 

And finally, Sam and Tory, I would have Tory call Sam a Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing and tell her that karma’s come to collect her debt (only peak enjoyers know that reference). Tory heavy segment, very bitter, angry instrumental. And then when Hawk and Tory have Sam and Demetri on the back foot, Sam and Demetri launch into a sort of duet, reiterating Daniel’s teachings as they use their Miyagi-Do techniques to take down their aggressors. 

But then when it comes to Miguel and Robby, it’s way different, because it’s actually pure action until Miguel has Robby on the ground, and then Miguel apologizes. And that’s when Robby gets pissed, attacking Miguel as he wrathfully sings about how it’s dumb that Miguel thinks a sorry is supposed to erase everything. He’s blinded by rage until he accidentally kicks Miguel off of the railing.

And then Miguel gets a slow, soft version of the chorus, sung as he falls down the rail and his thoughts slow down to reflect on every action that got him to this point. It’s sullen until he’s cut off by the sound of his spine breaking on the stair rail. The screen cuts to black. And then Miguel sings the last words as the camera fades to him laying on the ground, blood pooling from his mouth.

“From here~” 

Okay, yeah, I think I cooked with that last one. Anyways, just like last time, feel free to suggest names and other songs you think could fit in. But overall, I hope you all enjoy.

For the entrapdak ask game - 3, 12 and 17? c:

3. Ah, now this is a hard one.

In general, their feelings were definitely developed gradually. Hordak of course had his big, hit him like a brick wall, realization when Entrapta says "... at least to me..." and sparks literally fly. Granted he knew he was attached to the princess, but this was the moment he truly realized the extent of his feelings.

Entrapta on the other hand came to the conclusion she had romantic feelings for Hordak when she was analyzing her data surrounding him. She was probably in her room one evening, looked at the data, and had a lightbulb moment where she realized it. Then she immediately ran to Scorpia and told her.

12. When Entrapta was a teenage/young adult, she read a lot of cheap romance novels, and years later Hordak found them while cleaning out a random closet. He laughed about it for days.

Also, during the first few years of Hordak living on Etheria, any money he was able to make doing odd jobs was gambled so he could make more. He was able to cheat the house by counting cards and other strategies in order to triple his income. He was banned from a lot of casinos, and now he's the worst person to play card games with.

17. Ah yes, my original idea for an Entrapdak-centered sequel...

Basically, the clone who replaced Hordak as Prime's general tries to take Prime's place, and at some point, the clone kidnaps Entrapta (I had this idea five years ago, so it's not super fresh in my mind). Also, in my mind, it was definitely a musical. Hordak and the clone would have a duet with the song "Nothing Left to Lose" from the tangled series as Hordak tries to convince him to give up his pursuits. Also, "Love Like You" would have been sung by Hordak at one point. (In my defense, I was in middle school)

In the same vein as the songs, I remember there was a duet between Entrapta and some non-descript guy who had a crush on her to the song "A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into" where he would think she was talking about him, but she was actually talking about Hordak, obviously. Also, in the background, Scorpia, Catra, and the rest of the Fright Zone Trio would be cheering the guy on, and then be absolutely shocked she was crushing on Hordak. (Again middle school. But, I actually might still like this concept)

(Also, someone else should ask me this question again because I have another, angsty one I'd like to discuss.)

HuskerDust Sinatra playlist (to be updated)

Given Husk and Angel's time when they were alive, Sinatra's songs would no doubt fall into their mutual category of favorites. I believe Angel would very much like Sinatra's crooning considering Sinatra's melancholy voice, him being also Italian and having alleged connection to the Italian mob. Husk spent so much time in casinos so surely he knew all of these songs like the back of his hand.

Below are the songs that I find would fit well into their inner thoughts and stages of their relationship. When Sinatra sang, he didn't just sing a song, he was telling us something from his heart which I imagine is what Husk wanted to say to Angel and vice versa (and there are duets :))). You will see that Husk was allocated more songs than Angel. This is because I firmly believe Husk is the more sappy and sentimental one in the relationship.

Who knows :)) these songs might inspire some fanfictions. Whatever you imagine, Sinatra can provide :)))

One song might have different version sung by Sinatra. The ones listed here are the most fitting in my opinion. These are all youtube links because some came from nice musical films/music shows and some aren't available on spotify.

The pining stage (sprinkled with some self-loathing/insecurity in case they didn't think their feelings were mutual)

Husk

These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)

These foolish things remind me of you You came you saw you conquer'd me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be

It could Happen to You

All I did was wonder How your arms would be And it happened to me

Half As Lovely (Twice As True) (or Husk's insecurity about himself being just a washed-up drunk while Angel could have anyone he wants, also mention of Angel's facade. This is the perfect song :))))

I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs, Just another who knows your laughter and lies. I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true. I love you, I love you, too much it seems, for any fool can see, With your heart so crowded with other dreams, how can you dream of me?

Bewitched

I'm wild again, beguiled again A simpering, whimpering child again Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep Then love came and told me I shouldn't sleep Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I Lost my heart, but what of it?

Angel

I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)

You never seem to want my romancing The only time you hold me Is when we're dancing I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why, but I do

I fall in love too easily (This fits Angel so well)

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast

Glad to be unhappy

Unrequited love's a bore And I've got it pretty bad But for someone you adore It's a pleasure to be sad

Prisoner of Love

Alone from night to night You'll find me too weak to break the chains that bind me. I need no shackles to remind me, I'm just a prisoner of love.

The confessing stage

Husk

Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart

Dear when you smiled at me I heard a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me, started a symphony Zing! Went the strings of my heart

Then Suddenly Love (I can imagine Angel kick the door open :)))

I never heard bluebirds, the songs that they sing, I never get crazy, not even in spring, Then suddenly love struck me like lightning, Love it blew up a storm, Love suddenly grabbed me, and ooh, was it cozy and warm 'Cause I found you, now I no longer just exist, Ooh, what a change, it started from the time we kissed

Angel

I Get a Kick out of You

Some they may go for a cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically too Yet I get a kick out of you

I've Never been in Love before

I'm full of foolish songs And out my song must pour So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've really never been in love before

Husk and Angel

You're Awful (A silly duet confession of love :)))

Husk: Those words that everyone knows But my thoughts gets mangled, And all the words get tangled, But since you asked me, here goes: You're awful, awful good to look at, Awful nice to be with, awful sweet to have and hold. You're nothing, nothing if not lovely, Nothing if not dazzling, nothing but pure gold, You're frightening, frightening me when you say That you might go away, You're boring, boring into my heart to stay. You're cheap, dear, cheap at any price, dear, Cheap for such a diamond, Cheap for such a pearl, What I said before, I'll say again, You're awful, awful nice to be my girl. Angel: You're old, dear, old with worldly wisdom, Old like Gorgonzola, old like finest French champagne, You're so-so, so-so, so-so kinda charming, So-so kind of witty, so I can't explain, Husk: Can't stand you, I can't stand you giving some fellow the eye, Can't stand you in the arms of another guy, Who needs you? Need you to distraction, Need you too this crazy, need you rain or shine, Both: I'm the one who needs you, And I think you're awful, awful nice to say you're mine.

The dating/domestic bliss stage (sprinkled with some angst/couple fights)

Husk

[How Little It Matters] How Little We Know

Who cares to define what chemistry this is? Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is? So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters, How little it matters, how little we know.

I Could Write A Book

If they ask me, I could write a book About the way you walk and whisper and look I could write a preface on how we met So the world would never forget And the simple secret of the plot Is just to tell them that I love you a lot Then the world discovers as my book ends How to make two lovers of friends

That Old Black Magic

Those icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle that I feel inside And then that elevator starts its ride And down and down, I go 'Round and 'round, I go Like a leaf that's caught in the tide

Too Marvelous for Words

You're much, too much, and just too very very To ever be in Webster's dictionary And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds To tell you that you're marvelous Too marvelous for words

Polka Dots And Moonbeams

In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we floated over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answers And perhaps a few things more Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning of the words? Ever after? And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss the pug-nosed dream

Witchcraft

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft And although, I know, it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in my My heart says yes indeed in me Proceed with what your leading me to It's such an ancient pitch But one I wouldn't switch 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

Dear Heart (Husk waited for Angel to come home from work)

Dear heart, wish you were here to warm this night My dear heart, it seems like a year since you've been out of my sight A single room, a table for one It's a lonesome town all right But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door And dear heart, I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more

Husk and Angel

We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye

We thought that love was over, that we were really through, I said I didn't love her, that we'd begin anew, And you can all believe me, we sure intended to, But we just couldn't say goodbye. The chair and then the sofa, they broke right down and cried, The curtain started waving for me to come inside. I tell you confident'a'lly the tears were hard to hide, And we just couldn't say goodbye. The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below, With folded hands, it seemed to say, we'll miss you if you go. So I went back and kissed her and when I looked around, The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down. Now we're both so happy because at last we've found That we just couldn't say goodbye.

Kisses and Tears

Kisses and tears, it's up to you If we laugh or we cry through the years Unless you trust me, whenever a doubt appears Your future with me will continue to be kisses and tears You're crying again, you're sighing again Can't we patch it up this time? I guess it's alright, we've finished our fight It's just about kiss-time

Nothing in Common

Our two goals are apart as the poles are As lovers our roles are completely miscast Let's make a clean break And not take any chances 'Cause outside of thinking you're something divine And outside of wanting your lips close to mine We've got nothin' in common We've got nothin' in common at all

How Are Ya Fixed for Love

How are ya fixed for someone to watch the rain with? To stroll down the line with? For someone to just go a little insane with? How are you fixed for memories? Memories that shine so bright? If we let fancy take us We could make us a few tonight How are ya' fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove? Hey, tell me baby, how are ya' fixed for love?

Bonus: Sinatra's Loser, baby a.k.a Here's To The Losers

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers Bless them all!

Transformers thoughts that wouldn't leave me alone - Forgotten melodies of eld

I have a bit of a tendency to overthink my favorite media and make strange associations with other things, and Transformers is no different right now. Those robots are spinning in my head like leftover pasta in a microwave. Anyhow, last night I was thinking about Cybertronian music.

(Ramble incoming! Also I might get stuff wrong, I am still fairly new in the fandom, after all. So please, forgive my potential ignorance.)

Now, there usually isn't that much lore on it from what I've seen, which absolutely sucks and I need more. What I've also noticed is that there often seems to be more of a focus on the musical instruments (which I also definitely need more lore on), rather than vocals. And hoo boy do I have thoughts about that specificallly.

Cybertronians have voice boxes, right? And considering their mechanical anatomy, it's pretty safe to say that they can hold on for way longer than our vocal cords. After all, it's not like a computer or its speakers start breaking down after a few hours of music being played continuously. Of course, such a voice box would be more complex, and there are definitely some more unique ways for it to break or damage, but... I generally like to think they are pretty durable when they are used for speech or song. Which brings me to the concept which I decided to call "mechanical elves", or something to that effect.

Now, what does that even mean? It's simple; I was inspired by the portrayal of elven music in various fantasy media, like J. R. R. Tolkien's works. Songs that reach the deepest parts of your soul in an ancient, ellegant language, voices that sing heartwrenching ballads for hours on end about tragedies that happened millennia ago. And I thought... wouldn't that work for Cybertron? Or at least, Cybertron in its beginnings?

You have a race of giant, mechanical beings, many of which have lived for millions of years. And they do love their music, even if we often have no idea what it's like and get only snippets from their culture. You have people like Blaster, who is literally nicknamed "The Voice" in the IDW1 comics and uses his voice to inspire his fellow Autobots, among other things. Just their voice boxes alone have so much potential, and that just makes me feel stuff, honestly.

Why wouldn't they sing for incredible amounts of time without stopping, at least when the times weren't so complicated just yet?

Did the first Cybertronian who ever hummed a melody feel so much joy that he simply kept going and couldn't stop, before excitedly teaching others? When a friendship started to feel more than it already was, did the night start with a passionate serenade sung by a singular voice, which, as the hours went by, turned into a duet full of affectionate words to one another? When a Cybertronian died for the first time, did his brothers sing for his memory, and to survive the sorrow as they had no tears to weep?

Mechanical voices crying out in raw emotion to let the world know they're there, only for others to answer. Languages and dialects no longer spoken, beautifully haunting melodies long forgotten. And as the time went on, the world started to get more and more quiet, before the old compositions finally gave way to the new ones. Perhaps the Titans who yet live still remember a few notes or words once sung.

All that's left of the beginnings now is a requiem doubling as an ode to hope.

Its words?

"'Til all are one."

[nite-puff]

OKAY! So I checked out the snippets for the thh fan musical that is currently in development and I gotta say that I’m liking what I’m hearing so far.

So in case anyone else wants to hear them too, I made a list of links to each snippet. I also labeled them in case there’s a specific song or character anyone wants to hear about. I’ll also include the titles of the songs if I see that they have them (which doesn’t mean that some songs are actually untitled. The titles might’ve just not be revealed yet, or I haven’t found them).

First off, I’m just gonna put a link to the creator’s tiktok account because there’s still more than what I’m going to be covering here. Stuff like updates, introducing the actors, and songs for other dangan installments.

Alright, now to the songs (in no particular order):

- “A Million Lifetimes Away”: A Byakuya solo song that sounds like it details on his backstory.

- “Killer School Life”: A song sung by Monokuma as he introduces the concept of the killing game to the students.

- “Turn it Around”: The “trial 1” song. It sounds like it’s sung when the class suspects Makoto of killing Sayaka, and other classmates (mainly Kyoko) try to push the suspicion off of him.

- Untitled Kyoko song: Like the Byakuya song, the snippet covers Kyoko’s backstory. It also sounds like it may be a duet with Makoto (who joins in at the end).

- Untitled Celeste song: Sounds like it’s Celeste trying to defend herself during the third class trial. It sounds like the song will go over her breakdown.

- Untitled Sauna Battle song: The Mondo and Kiyotaka duet. The snippet takes place before the actual battle, so it’s the two airing their grievances with each other. It even has a double-entendre that could be seen as a sexual innuendo.

- “Deep End”: An Aoi solo song. Sounds like it’s Aoi expressing her mentality throughout the killing game and how she’s struggling to stay optimistic through it.

- Untitled Chihiro song: Takes place during Chihiro and Mondo’s meetup in the locker room. Chihiro sings about her appearance and identity and how she’s struggled with it.

And while we’re at it-

- Untitled Mondo song/reprise: A reprise of the song above but sung by Mondo. Sounds like it takes place after he’s discovered as the blackened during the class trial. He sings about the night of the race and how he sees himself as weak.

Side Note: I don’t know how exactly the musical is going to approach Chihiro’s identity, but it sounds like they’ll be deviating from the game in that regard. Because it sounds like at least Mondo still refers to her with she/her pronouns after everything is discovered. Just thought I’d share that bit of info for the people wondering.

Back to the list:

- “Soundproof”: A Sayaka and Leon duet. Takes place during the actual attack and murder and illustrates both of their thoughts during it.

- “World Ended”: The Junko villain song. Mainly details Junko’s backstory and explains how she found everything super boring so she destroyed it.

- Untitled opening number: Like it says, it’s the opening number! Everyone sings about how great Hope’s Peak is and how they’re so excited to be attending.

- “My Sacrifice”: The Sakura solo song. Takes place during Sakura’s confrontation with Monokuma, and she sings about how she’ll start to fight back to stop the killing game.

- Untitled Trial 4 song: Like the other trial song, it’s a musical rendition of something like a non-stop debate. The snippet itself goes over the whole “Byakuya, Toko, and Hiro being suspects” thing.

- Another Kyoko song: I don’t think it’s the same as the other Kyoko song mentioned earlier. If I had to guess, I think it takes place when Kyoko and Makoto find Jin’s skeleton in the box.

- Untitled Toko song: Toko sings about needing to repress Syo and not letting her “take the wheel.” The snippet also briefly goes over her backstory.

- Untitled Hiro song: Silly Hiro song that doesn’t have anything to do with the plot. It’s him going on about his conspiracy theories (like how ghosts and aliens are real). There’s also an earlier version of it on the account that has some dialogue at the beginning if people are interested in checking it out.

And lastly, I thought I’d just group these four together. Monokuma sings a little song before each execution. They’re all similar with some lyrical and instrumental changes based on who’s getting executed and what they did:

Trial One- Leon

Trial Two- Mondo

Trial Three- Celeste

Trial Four- Alter Ego

And that should be it! I hope I got them all. By the looks of it, they’ll be going along the lines of the game/anime itself instead of the stageplay in terms of story. And there still should be a few more songs since the gofundme mentioned there will be 24 tracks, and this list only has 21.

The cast album has been recorded and is currently still being edited. I don’t know if any of the songs on this list have changed in the span of time between the snippets being uploaded and the actual recording of the songs. But I’m excited to see how it will turn out.

Until then, if you’re interested in the project, I recommend going over the creator’s account and giving them some support. It sounds like this is coming from a place a passion, and talented creators and performers are working to make this a great product.

Anyways, that’s it from me!

Original Soundtrack Recording for "Phantom of the Paradise."

"Phantom of the Paradise." This album is as much a cult classic as the film it accompanies, and it's a testament to the musical genius of Paul Williams.

Here's a breakdown of what makes this soundtrack so special:

At a Glance:

Title: Phantom of the Paradise (Original Soundtrack Recording)

Release Year: 1974

Composer/Performer: Paul Williams

Film: Directed by Brian De Palma, this is a rock musical horror film that satirizes the music industry and reinterprets the Faust legend and The Phantom of the Opera.

The Music Itself:

Paul Williams' Masterpiece: Every song on the soundtrack was written, composed, and largely performed by Paul Williams. He was already a highly successful songwriter (known for hits like "Evergreen" and "We've Only Just Begun"), but "Phantom of the Paradise" allowed him to craft a complete musical narrative. He also stars in the film as the enigmatic record producer, Swan.

Genre Blending: The album is a brilliant pastiche of 1970s rock music. You'll hear elements of:

Glam Rock: Evident in the theatricality, costumes, and some of the more flamboyant arrangements.

Progressive Rock: Complex song structures and ambitious instrumentation.

Soft Rock/Ballads: Beautiful, melodic pieces, particularly those sung by Jessica Harper.

50s Rock & Roll: Used for the "nostalgia" band, The Juicy Fruits.

Hard Rock: For more aggressive moments.

Narrative Focus: The songs aren't just standalone tracks; they are integral to the film's plot, advancing the story, developing characters, and expressing their inner turmoil and desires.

Key Vocalists:

Paul Williams: Sings many of the pivotal songs, including "Faust," "The Hell of It," and "Old Souls" (with Jessica Harper). His distinct voice adds to the album's unique character.

Jessica Harper (as Phoenix): Her soaring, ethereal vocals on tracks like "Old Souls" and "Special to Me" are a highlight, representing the pure, innocent voice that Swan seeks to control.

The Juicy Fruits / The Beach Bums / The Undead: Fictional bands from the film, their songs (all written by Williams) showcase different facets of the music industry's trends.

Notable Tracks:

"Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye": A fun, retro 50s-style track performed by The Juicy Fruits.

"Faust": A powerful and dramatic track that establishes the Phantom's tragic bargain.

"The Hell of It": The film's iconic opening theme, a grand, theatrical rock anthem.

"Old Souls": A haunting and beautiful duet between Phoenix (Jessica Harper) and Swan (Paul Williams), perhaps the most emotionally resonant song on the album.

"Special to Me": Another showcase for Jessica Harper's vocals, a touching ballad.

"The Phantom's Theme (Beauty and the Beast)": The Phantom's leitmotif, often instrumental, conveying his pain and obsession.

Impact and Legacy:

Cult Status: Like the film, the soundtrack initially had limited commercial success but developed a passionate cult following. Fans often know every lyric and instrumental passage.

Influence: It's considered a significant work in the rock musical genre and has influenced subsequent artists and films.

Enduring Appeal: Even without the film, the album stands as a fascinating and compelling musical journey. It's a testament to Paul Williams' versatility and his ability to craft memorable melodies and lyrics that tell a powerful story.

If you're a fan of unique rock music, theatrical scores, or just looking for something truly distinctive from the 1970s, the "Phantom of the Paradise" soundtrack is well worth a listen.

Come to Me being sung by Antoinette was the "premeditated flaw" by Lestat to provoke Louis's jealousy. And Louis got so angry, he swam the Mississippi to find him and beat his ass. So Lestat's plan worked.

It's assumed Louis made Lestat re-record the song later but with his own vocals. Or maybe Lestat did that himself. How did Louis get another re-recording? Who knows...

Exactly ahaha!! I was just wondering if it was sung ONLY by Antoinette or if they were doing like a duet, which would arguably be even worse💀 (or at least, if it was me it would enrage me even more)
