Alessia Cara’s new single DEAD MAN OUT NOW 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

[haveyouplayedthisirlgame-poll]

Dead man is a trampoline game/tag variant. One player, the "dead man" lays in the middle with their eyes closed while the rest jump around them in a circle chanting "Dead man, dead man, come alive! Come alive at the count of five! One, two, three, four, five! Come alive!" The "dead man" then rises and tries to tag the other players with their eyes closed.

please tell me your mankind + goldust + taker thoughts because i watched your amv and was interested and intrigued i wanna know how you perceive them in your mind

OMG I'VE BEEN WANTING SOMEONE TO ASK ME THIS FOR SO LONG! I'LL TRY MY BEST TO EXPLAIN IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE [for a bit of context all the clips I'm going to be talking about are from 1996 + I have them saved if anyone wants to see a certain one!] So when mankind's debut was being teased he would always be alone in dark places talking about how he's a 'freak' both physically and emotionally [my favourite quote from these teasers is 'on the eight day God created mankind, why was he having such a bad day?'] and he later goes onto talk about how both of his parents grew to resent him due to either his anger [he says something about how his father thought he was too out of control and needed to be 'numbed'] or his deformity [he says his mum used to always wake him up so her friends could hear his music but once it stopped she started to resent him or something like that] and I believe that because of that not only does he have parental issues [like hell he frequently calls Goldust 'mommy' and says he's her little boy who needs to protect her] but further more I hc that he has a twisted kind of religious guilt which is why he's so 'crazy' [trying to destroy himself and possibly end up dead because God clearly made a mistake with him which you can either read as him trying to deform himself sm he's unrecognisable and therefore nothing like what God created him to be or you can read it as he feels if God couldn't love him then there's no point in living because he was created as pure evil and pure evil must be punished/cleansed from the world.

Now as I've stated before mankind sees Goldust as a mother figure and I think it's for two reasons; one, his own mother rejected him for being a 'freak' so he believes no 'normal' person could love him so he finds comfort in someone else who is, as Vince McMahon always puts it on commentary, 'a bizarre one' but also because Mankind's mum 'always woke him up for the music' which made him feel wanted, he clings to Goldust's theatrical nature as it reminds him of his mum [and side note, Goldust clearly takes on the role really well, there's footage of him literally in Mankind's boiler room, a place he feels safe and grounded, a place he calls his home being so tender with him, comforting him like every child wants their mother to do.]

Before I go onto The Undertaker, for context, in '96 the three men had a feud; from his debut Mankind always attacked The Undertaker and then when Goldust and The Undertaker began feuding Mankind would frequently come to his rescue [clearly closer with Goldust, playing into the stereotype of a 'mamas boy.']

I feel like there's two ways to view The Undertaker in this dynamic; one being as Goldust is a mother figure to Mankind he could view The Undertaker as a father figure [in his debut teasers there's light implications that Mankind's mother and father weren't on agreeable terms, especially when it came to how to raise Mankind so the conflict could remind him of that and as his mother was implied to be more tender, even if she was still rejecting him, he would be more inclined to 'protect' her and in turn protect Goldust from The Undertaker] but also you could argue his religious guilt could absolutely manifest in a hatred for The Undertaker because, as previously mentioned, I think that Mankind would be drawn to death and self-destruction as an attempt to either defy God or cleanse himself from the world and as The Undertaker is very much symbolic of death [he's literally 'the dead man'] he could be angry at death for refusing to take him and the closet he can get to attacking death realistically is via The Undertaker.

Also this is exclusive to the amv but I do hc Goldust and The Undertaker as a couple and the 'and your dearest fantasy is to grow a baby in me' was intended to be a way of saying that Mankind is a monster, a creature, he was never seen as a human even as a baby and deep down The Undertaker wishes he could start again and have a family with Goldust and have a baby rather than a creature. I'm sorry I'm weird and have weird little hcs but I really hope that made sense and I explained everything properly! If there's anything I didn't explain properly/anyone has any other questions about my hcs for *any wrestlers* please lmk [either via dming, commenting, asking etc] and I'll be more than happy to answer/re-word anything :)

We've had another busy week in music, once again. Here's a quick recap from me:

Who by Jimin

I had really high expectations, but Jimin still managed to blow me away. This song has an irresistible Y2K-ish charm that made me fall head over heels. I think I might love it even more than Like Crazy.

Dead Man by Alessia Cara

Damn, what an incredible song. She truly found the perfect single to showcase all her skills. It's more than worth the wait, that's for sure, and I hope the album is just as great.

Chk Chk Boom by Stray Kids

This is one hell of a bop. It got my body moving from like the very first note. I wish it was longer, but the short length doesn't undermine its impact.

Cardinal by Kacey Musgraves

I'm so happy she made a music video for this, cause it's probably my favorite track in the album. And the video perfectly captures the mysticism of the vocals, the lyrics and the music.
