[capybaraonabicycle]

When you get this, you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, publish. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers <3

Aw, thank you!! I feel honoured 🥰

I know that wasn't the task but I gave myself a theme to follow. See if you can guess it 😊 (just kidding, it is super obvious) I might not have listened to all of those songs in the last week but I have all of them downloaded onto my phone. Which is reserved for songs I listen to at least semi-regularly.

Friend - Bukahara

Hug all your friends - cavetown

Liebe Freunde - Dota

Gute Nacht, Freunde - Reinhard Mey

Friends 'til the end - Shipwrecked, Dylan Glatthorn

Also, I can't shut up, so you're getting explanations on why I love those songs under the cut :)

Friend - Bukahara

This song is kinda what decided the theme because I just had to pick it. It is beautiful and it sounds so much like dw to me. Especially thoschei but actually all the Doctor's friendships. I keep listening to it and thinking 'this is them. it's so them'.

You said look up even when the nights are long

'cause you will never be alone my friend

You will always see my light shining on

'cause I, I will soon be home again

Oh and no one knows what really happened on that day

Well some people say the saw him up there flying away

You know, when 9 or 10 are convinced their friend is gone together with Gallifrey? Looking at the stars and missing them, remembering the days at the Academy? Tracing a scar on their knee they got as a child and that has stayed with them through the regenerations? This is the soundtrack for that.

(@marvellouspinecone so... about not writing/planning fics based on songs. Apparently, I do that after all. I'm a liar. Or maybe talking to you about it has jump-started it. Idk)

2. Hug all your friends - Cavetown

I haven't listened to this one in a while but it is the song that really got me into cavetown, I think. It is just ADORABLE and whenever I miss my friends I put it on (might have been one of my most played songs 2020). There is also a wonderful music video for this on yt in which Robbie is shown hugging a bunch of friends. But tumblr won't let me put it here😑

And I don’t care about my sleeping routine I fucked it up as it is but we got so much time to kill As the night rocks me to sleep

Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go No I won't let go

3. Liebe Freunde (Dear Friends) - Dota

This video seems to not exist either, so here is the spotify link in case that works better:

It's in German anyway, but I love it so so much because it reminds me of my German friends. You can translate it perfectly to our situation, just that usually I am the one staying over and being asked again and again to just stay a while longer, you can take the next train, then, when the last train is gone: you can take the bus and then you can take the first train in the morning.

I need my sleep and I do have enough of social interaction rather quickly but I just feel so loved whenever they plead that I stay a bit longer.

Das Rauschen des Festes ist leiser geworden,

in der Küche gibt es nur noch Schnaps und Chips.

Und ich find ́s schön, so schön, so schön,

dass es euch egal ist, dass die letzte Bahn grad fährt.

Ich find ́s schön, so schön, dass ihr da seid. Ich fühle mich geehrt.

(The sounds of the party have died down, there is only schnapps and crips left in the kitchen. And I find it beautiful/great/wonderful/lovely, so lovely, so lovely, that you don't care that the last train is leaving right now. I find it lovely, so lovely that you are here. I feel honoured.)

Also, the ending is my favourite for obvious reasons:

Schön, dass ihr da wart. Gute Nacht.

Ach, ihr fahrt Fahrrad.

Vielleicht solltet ihr schieben.

(Lovely that you were here. Good night. Ah, you're taking your bicycle. Maybe you should walk and push it along.)

4. Gute Nacht, Freunde (Good night, friends) - Reinhard Mey

Reinhard Mey was the favourite artist of my great-grandmother (who I was lucky enough to know as a child). So this song is already dear to me because of that. It also has a similar feeling to the Dota song, about not wanting to leave a friend's place at night.

I especially love that he changed the lyrics 'everything that is left to tell you takes the time of one cigarette' to 'NO cigarette' in the video above. I assume it is because of the moderator. They're friends and the moderator is very anti-smoking. Idk I just find it touching and fitting that he presumably changed his song about friendship for his friend.

Für die Freiheit, die als steter Gast bei euch wohnt Habt Dank, dass ihr nie fragt, was es bringt, ob es lohnt Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass man von draußen meint Dass in euren Fenstern das Licht wärmer scheint

(Thank you for the freedom who lives at your place as a constant guest. Thank you for never asking what it is worth, if it is worth it at all. Maybe that is why one thinks, when standing outside, that in your windows the light is shining more warmly)

5. Friends 'til the end - Shipwrecked Comedy, Dylan Glatthorn

Okay, this one is mostly hilarious. But it is my favourite Shipwrecked video and I have listened to the song often enough to know it by heart. Also, it's about telling your bestie she's too good for her man because he is

A) too boring

or

B) a bloody vampire

and I find that important.

- Dearest Mina, I know just how you feel When it comes to Jonathan I don't see the appeal Because my man is where it's at Last night he turned into a bat We danced in the moonlight He's colder than frostbite - Wait - did you just say he turned into a bat? - Yes, he gives a mean backrub He's pale as a bathtub -Bathtub... uh, so I guess we're just moving on from that?!

[romance-club-daily]

OK so I saw that ask about Mimi and it reminded me of a take I have, so maybe unpopular opinion I don't mind the mc in heavens secret not being the "traditional heroine" things can just happen to you and you don't have to be prepared for them, but what I don't like is that she never changes, nothing really impacts her or forces her to grow. Like she didn't need to become badass but idk she just never really changes even if she joins up with Malbonte she's just still the same person. But I feel like they wanted to wrap it up in 3 seasons so, a lot of the basic stuff suffered like endings with li, THE ENDING IN GENERAL and like oh idk the character development of the mc. It's disappointing because we've seen mc develope before like mia and mei and it would've been cool to see it's disappointing because HS probably had the potential to be up there with the greats and the rush to finish it let it down. A lot of the endings don't make sense it's too complicated for it's own good and a lot of the episodes could've been split in 2. So yeah sorry for the long take, love your blog<3

Don't worry! 🥰 And glad you liked it!

I think this isn't an unpopular opinion actually... 👀

I agree 100% with you, Vicky isn't one of my least favorite MCs for nothing, her screams in the finale make me roll my eyes everytime I remember it 🤡

And I guess you explained very well one of the her main problems, there's no character development at all. She's just there doing things.

And Alice learned her lesson because Selena is literally another level of character! 🤩
