There’s something so beautiful and special and melancholic about Beautiful Night too. Like… Linda being in it just shortly before she passed 💔 but also Ringo being in it, the melody and the switch from one section to the other, Paul’s voice… I can’t. What a song. What an album.
oh my god was no one gonna tell me there's an earlier iteration where Polites was introduced like this??

Odysseus: Polites...🥰 ///

Athena(?): Polites, the Captain's best friend.
I mean, I much much prefer Full Speed Ahead because it introduces Eurylochus and Polites much better, with you picking up their role in the narrative via musical cues and their lines, but this was so cute. especially the chorus.
haven't talked about chess in a hot minute but i think we need to bring back some of the synthpop arrangements from the original concept album for songs like the arbiter and one night in bangkok because whatever benny and björn put in there is better than prozac
haven't listened to the anthology yet, but i do think her music is suffering from the sheer quantity she's putting out while doing all this other stuff tbh. feels more like an overproduced electronic cashgrab than real layered music despite some tortured lyrics. like ttpd the first half has such a sameness to over half of it.... and that sameness is tied to midnights too imo. i really wish i could experience the joy of albums like 1989/folklore/evermore and def her country earlier stuff but. she can be a lyric writing machine (she needs someone to veto some of it thoughnfjdkfjd feels like no one can tell her no) but not lean on the exact same production style for this long bc it's kinda getting old to me and i really do enjoy so much of her discography like 😭😭😭 idk. i know swifties are just gonna eat up whatever she does, and i've always been in between the absolute worshipping crowd and the absolute hater crowd but some of the music/production part is so uninspired.
its so hard for me not to be a hater of CATS PAC NYC. its nothing to do with the actual production and everything to do with the fact i cant find anything talking about it that isnt shitting on the og and fans of the og musical to somehow prove that its good/better.
like dont tell me how "its better than the og bc its not in stinky weird cat costumes" tell me how much you like the dance or the set or particular actors or changes to the songs please!! i want to like it i really do but i just cant i'm sorry😭😭😭
not tagging cats or cats pac nyc i wanna keep the negativity out of that tag bc it deserves a chance to thrive it really does
a while ago on the discord i brought up the "which desk at the station is forrest's desk" question when the answer should probably have been obvious. he's been at the job for approx. one week, so it's the desk with all the unpacked boxes. it just didnt occur to me because thats Frankly A Lot Of Boxes and my first thought was this is where all the storage and junk are piled on, but no. it's all stuff forrest brought (/hc). he's a heavy packer. he spite packed all the stuff he didn't want his old job to keep even if he doesnt need or even like them all that much but now that he's blacklisted then no one in the entirety of chicago can have them
the greatest thing that's come from rereading the riordanverse books is that today a dad saw house of hades on the desk next to me and pointed it out to his kid who just lit up and started asking me if i knew the spinoffs and the short stories and i got to tell him heck yeah i know them!! what's your favorite?? and he was so excited to talk about it, and i just...idk there's something about little kids realizing that an adult genuinely likes something they love that's just so amazing and i love it
sometimes i don’t think ive changed all that much and then i show ppl pictures of myself in hs and they do a double take and it’s all very funny. for example i used to dress like this.
and i was also blonde. so. looking at these is surreal for me also.
this scene is so silly ajdjajsja but I can't stop thinking of him saying that to Ash and Ash just grinning.
"... G.arrus, humans usually just say 'you have a nice ass'"
"That's not what I meant! I wasn't even looking there- Well- Actually- Uh... I-I meant, you know.. It's just, well, uh... Oh, come on, Ash! You know I'm new to this!"
unpopular opinion but I hate michael buble's christmas album. least favorite album ever in the world that I can think of. I would prefer objectively bad music, christmas or not, and I am not kidding or exaggerating, nor was that a hard choice to make
