is anybody else constantly thinking about the kevin day/sirius black parallels. the jean moreau/regulus black parallels, even. having to leave your abuser and it breaks your heart to leave them behind but you know they won't come with you. jean loving kevin and wanting to forgive him, but they will never be friends again. when neil goes to the nest and riko's left kevin's room exactly the way he left it, like a shrine? did nora read atyd

I’m like slowly falling back into a bit of my musical theatre phase so here are some dad songs from musicals I like and I’m assigning them to dndads dads
The pants song (bmc) - Ron stampler (the song is so spot on it’s a little scary from the pants to the slight incompetence but still caring so much it’s so Ron)
What tim wants (Black Friday) - Glenn close (easy same kind of grief and the lyrics talk in a way that’s just very what Glenn was trying to do)
If I fail you (Black Friday) - Darryl Wilson or Glenn close (this song works for like almost all of the dads but I think it works the best for Darryl or Glenn, Glenn for the talking about grief and failing and shit but Darryl also for the failing and not knowing his son and trying to be what his dad was even though that’s not what grant needs)
To break in a glove (dear Evan hansen) - Henry oak (I feel like this is a little controversial and idk how well it really fits but in my head it fits to how he tried to be with lark after the rogue card probably later in life like high school and shit but that’s just my interpretation)

Update: Luckily our house just has excessive water and broken limbs. (Pines soak it up in a day or two)
A friend did get more multiple sightings of tornados around noon.
The one touched down from this morning was just the one. Took a part of the middle school, a church, a few homes and one life, sadly.
A couple of roads have some flooding. Thankfully nothing like when Mathew broke our damns about 8 years ago.
"It's just rain/water, what's the big deal" - both managers today.
Uh how about the roads are flooded and fucking closed off? And winds are strong enough to knock down trees by the hospital? Some folks with power outages?

Yo, so.
Are you gonna continue to play fucking coward, or are you gonna actually own up to the shit you're doing and STILL saying?
Are you gonna actually fucking read the points that were made, and process them, or are you gonna only try to find ways to pull strawman arguments from them?
Are you gonna continue to excuse your still-going-on shitty behavior, or are you gonna actually take responsibility, regardless of if you're taking your meds or not?
Are you gonna continue to make excuses that don't line up with what you are STILL saying, for the fucking record, or are you gonna finally shut the ever loving FUCK up and go back to the cesspool of pure fucking sewage that is Twitter?
Excuse my toxicity and anger, I don't give a flying fuck if I'm being an asshole anymore, because the son of a bitch ain't listening, nor do they have a fucking will to learn. I don't get why I should be nice to some more-than-likely white son of a bitch who's a self-proclaimed supremacist. You know, the same people who actually rot communities with their fucking nazi-like behaviors and ideas.
I'm not taking "Oh, i was spiraling!" or "Oh, I'm traumatized and this icks me!" or even fucking "I'm trying to make my community appeal to the possible bigots!" as ANY fucking excuse. You're so god damn vile that I'm baffled and amazed at how your stupidity isn't leaving you to rot in the PURE liquid SHIT that you came from.
At least when it comes to the shit I do, if I really hurt people (which. I tend to focus on emotional harm if I'm really in the mood to hurt people - I won't pretend I'm the nicest alter - I'm the alter that gives a fuck until I don't, and I have so little energy thay I couldn't care less about you being a whiny son of a bitch because you don't like that a fifteen year old middle, who resides in an eighteen year old body l, told you to shut the fuck up and put up), I won't apologize because I'll stick by what I said without trying to fucking excuse myself n my behavior.
You are just. something fucking else. And it's not welcome in these tags. Or in others' inboxes, because you're still playing pussy.
[ If you're very confused - Hi! We're talking about the "troll" that's going to people's askboxes now because they didn't. like when we directed confronted them and countered their arguments hella hard. Yes, I can normally be a massive asshole if need be - evidently ]

The Only Boy Band That Passed My Musical Standards
Here’s the thing: I am a bit of a music snob, although my music taste has grown diverse over the years (and I also have some guilty pleasures too). If you ask me what my favorite genres are, I’d say pop and rock. During my toddler years, I liked Britney Spears’ music (I am a millennial born in 1995). During my elementary years Disney was at its peak so of course the music I consumed at that time came from them. I liked some songs from Hilary Duff, Raven, and Lindsay Lohan. The singers I loved, though, were Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. The second millennial wave of Disney girls brought something new to the table. I enjoyed their pop rock music.
I guess it’s no surprise that pop rock was the first genre I truly appreciated during my childhood. My father has a wide range of musical tastes, but classic rock by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones stood out to me. It was in high school that I started listening to alternative rock. In college (around 2014 or 2015), I started listening to the Beatles. I appreciated Elton John after watching Rocketman. I am now starting to appreciate more retro pop rock artists too.
To reiterate, my perception of One Direction was kiddie music. Therefore, I didn’t bother to care for their music back in the day. I remember when Best Song Ever came out, and I was slightly irked because of its redundant chorus; I also thought, “What is the best song ever that they keep on singing about?” Basically, I didn’t listen to their music during their active years since I was listening to other artists. To be honest, I also had the perception that boy band music was cheesy.
It was this year that I appreciated You and I. I thought the song sounded pretty. Each member’s solo verses fit the song perfectly, and all their parts flowed smoothly. It’s a radio-friendly yet mature ballad. After a month of becoming a Harry fan, I gave in and went through 1D’s discography.
At first, I thought that their singles were catchy and their non-singles okay. I thought, "Maybe if I were Gen Z (like my niece, who was a fan during their first two albums), I would’ve appreciated them during their heyday." I eventually came to appreciate them. I was surprised to hear their fresh take on pop rock. Some songs on Midnight Memories sounded like they could’ve been done by an alternative rock or pop punk band (Diana reminded me of the pop punk band All Time Low). The album is a mixed bag for me. Some songs I enjoyed, and some were average. I’d consider it their transitory album (this has been said to have a mature, “rockier” sound). I was surprised to hear the rock influences on some songs, especially on Little Black Dress.
It’s fan consensus that FOUR is the group’s best album. To be honest, FOUR and Made in the AM are a tie for me. I’d consider the two albums solid pop rock albums. The last two albums have a bit of a retro influence. 1D experiments with several pop genres with these two. They have a more polished pop rock sound this time around.
One Direction is the boy band that stood out to me. They made an excellent transition from bubblegum pop to solid pop rock. It’s no surprise that boy bands don’t have much input when it comes to songwriting and creative/musical direction (during their prime), so I was impressed to find out that 1D was able to defy usual boyband protocol while managing to remain relevant. I am not really a person who is into dancing, and I guess that is the reason that I appreciate pop groups that only sing. Of course, I share the popular opinion among fans who say that all the boys of 1D are talented and have relevant contributions. I remember telling my elder brother, “The Backstreet Boys are singers. One Direction are artists.”
