#he def lifts 60

[benboulette]

Some of my Icemav headcanons frfr

Every friday they cook together and they choose which kind of cuisine they wanna eat every monday, they listen to music on an old vinyl player that they got from mavs parents and they got the vinyls from ice's parents as an anniversary present. All the vinyls are old cheesy 60s

love songs and they like to dance while cooking whenever one of their favourite songs comes on no matter what theyre doing. It doesnt matter if the foods about to burn if be my baby comes on theyre are grooving to it while singing off key.

Along with the songs, they memorized eachothers favourite songs just by observing how the other acts depending on what song comes on. Mav could tell that ice always liked slow songs more because whenever they came on ice would hum and bop his head more than the other songs (he also loves Frank Sinatra and The Ronettes)

Ice could tell Mav was more into bittersweet love songs that sounded more upbeat although it was harder for ice to figure that out since Mav seemed to sing along with his whole heart to every single song they ever listened to, but whenever his favourites came on Mav would move a lot more and genuinely just smile a lot mroe while singing.

The day that the ban on gay people in the navy was lifted (December 21, 1993) they slow danced in Ice's office while kinda just crying in eachothers arms because they were so happy that they didnt have to hide how much they loved eachother anymore (ofc they didnt immediately announce it infront of everyone but they def had to hide less and got to be more open about it even though everyone already had an idea)

Mav's ringtone for ice is literally the song "ice ice baby" and it has been since the song was released.

Sarah was Tom's lesbian friend and they would rant to eachother about the ppl they had crushes on bc they were the only queer ppl they were aware existed around them. (they were actually surrounded by gay ppl they just didnt know)

Mav and Ice used to try to make eachother listen to new artists atleast every month and in that tradition they discovered Joe Dassin which ended up being their favourite artist to listen to together and they always sing his songs in a really bad french. Their first dance at their marriage ended up even being to "Et si tu n'existais pas".

Ice tried to learn guitar with Goose (goose side headcanon: he plays almost every instrument in existence, like if he wasnt in the navy he would be a music teacher in highschool) but Nick didn't tell him that Mav already knew how to play after having played in a band with him and slider in highschool all together. Mav (voc. and guit.) Goose (bass and backup voc.) Slider (drums) and Ice learnt through Slider that Mav knew how to play guitar infinitely better than him after slider caught him trying to learn a love song he was gonna play when he wanted to ask Mav to officially be his boyfriend.

Every. single. time. one of them got deployed the night before they would ALWAYS spend the night together listening to music and dancing the whole time, they always made their last dance "Till Then" by The Mills Brothers and they always cried no matter what.

Mav is an ugly fucking crier and gets snot everywhere but since Ice started being there where ever he was he would always use his shirt as a kleenex so when Ice isnt around when Mav cries he is completely lost and just slimes everywhere.

Before they were official Mav caught Ice singing "If I Loved You" by Dick Haymes in his office once and when he heard him singing he literally felt his heart skip a beat and now he asks Ice to sing for him a lot more than Ice would like. (He likes the way Mav's eyes light up every time he sings for Mav) and before Ice lost his voice he recorded himself singing for Mav and it made Mav ugly cry when he found out abt it

Ice has a journal and he writes about Mav and Mav only in it. Mav found it and cried again.

Ice and Mav keep matching pictures of eachother in their helmets bc Ice refused to get those necklaces that can have pictures inside with Mav so they settled on that bc it was still risky to get caught. They eventually evolved to them just bringing a full sized picture of eachother in the plane anytime they went flying. They also keep pictures of eachother in their wallets and while he doesn't admit it Ice was the happiest he ever was when he could finally stop hiding the picture of them he kept in his office and being able to grow his collection of pictures of them as his office also got bigger was his biggest accomplishment in his own eyes

Wehenever they would fight or something, Mav did the cliche of showing up infront of ices house with a boombox to sing as an apology for Ice, Carol and Goose went with him as his backup vocalists and it always worked.

Once while Mav was on a mission, he got hit (he was fine in the end and someone called his parachute) and Ice was listening to the comms on the ship and as soon as he heard that Mav was hit he had to leave the room bc he had to throw up because his mind of course went to the worst possible conclusion. They both had to be in the hospital in the end bc Ice was breaking down (NOT. breakdancing) and couldnt move bc he was shaking so bad. While they were in the hospital, even though Mav was the one who got hit, he was the one taking care of Ice.

The first song they danced to was Be My Baby by The Ronettes and they both started singing to it at the same time when it came on and had a moment where they looked at eachother like "how tf do u know this song" but turns out its bc they're both hopeless romantics.

They lived together and said they had separate rooms so ppl wouldn't be suspicious, one time Nick and Carol needed them to babysit Bradley and Bradley slept in the room that they said was Ice's, and when he went to bed he asked "Why does Ice have his own bedrooms if he always sleeps with uncle Mav?" Of course they just avoided the question but he ended up asking Goose the same question and he just burst out laughing.

Ice and Mav are the reason that Bradley had a relatively easy time accepting he was bi, he attended their "wedding" when he was like 10 so he never thought bad of gay ppl. (I put wedding in quotes bc in 1992 gay marriage wasn't legalized so they technically only held a ceremony in secret and said they were married, but when gay marriage WAS legalized they immediately made it official)

Wait no way they saying that?? There was literally a screenshot going around these days with Jungkook being able to lift 200 kg with his back and jokers think that a 60 kg twink on his back in the water that probably made him weight even less due to physics is what's going to kill him? No way 😂😂😂 and the way they did not even seemed to talk before getting in the position to do it, they totally did this before and you can clearly see they were goofing around, jokers really prove everyday that they never had a friend or felt a loving touch of another human huh. Worse thing is that if it was Jimin on his back, that probably weight just as much or even more than Tae at the time we would all be seeing the weirdest takes on how he's so "strong and alpha" 🤪

60 KG TWINK???????? STOP

Yeah they def tried that before, they immediately fell into position 😭 Jokers wanna try to prove Jkk were annoyed by his presence but with no avail because they only look stupid

How Johnny Cash Ended Up Covering Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’

Jared LinnenPublished: November 22, 2022

This is the story of Johnny Cash's iconic cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.

By the early ‘90s, Johnny Cash had fallen from grace. He’d spent much of the 1980s increasingly marginalized, chasing trends instead of setting them, and ultimately, Columbia, his record label of 25 years, dropped him. At the same time, he was recovering from a drug addiction relapse and health problems were creeping in. Johnny’s future in the music business was looking bleak.

It was after a show in 1992, where Johnny was approached by a young and hot record producer with an idea to help revitalize his career. Def Jam records co-founder, Rick Rubin, was at that show, and saw a still-vital artist who didn’t deserve an early sunset.

“I said, ‘If you had me on your record label, what would you do that nobody else has done?’” Cash recalled asking Rubin. “And he said, ‘What I would do is sit you in front of a microphone and record any song you want. Just you and the guitar.’ [I said,] ‘You’re talking about a dream I had a long time ago.’”

Back in the early ‘90s, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor rented out a Los Angeles house to write and record a new album. It was the famous house where Sharon Tate and her friends were murdered by the Manson family in the ‘60s. Reznor was not in a good spot emotionally — he was struggling with his new found fame and his sense of identity. To cope with his depression, he wrote a brutal depiction of self-loathing and emotional numbness that began, “I hurt myself today / To see if I still feel.”

Reznor later called the song “a valentine to the sufferer." He sings the verses quiet and intimately, followed by the chorus where it feels like Trent’s releasing all the pain he felt inside of him.

“I’ve always had a sadness and a sense of of abandonment, I think, haunting me and never feeling like I fit in anywhere,” Reznor told Song Exploder. “Always feeling like an outsider. It’s not rational, it just happens often.”

Ultimately, Reznor was flattered a man of Johnny Cash’s stature would consider covering “Hurt,” so he gave the go-ahead.

Johnny’s version ended up more bare-bones. Acoustic guitar, with tasteful touches of organ and piano, which allowed Johnny’s aged and weathered voice to cut through, but it’s clear that age didn’t take anything away from Johnny’s greatness. His weakened voice allowed him to convey emotion in a deeper way, and you believe the wisdom he’s espousing.

“The lyrics have such a profound sense of regret,” Rubin told Lex Fridman. “And to hear, when you’re 20 years old, talking about regret, it’s heartbreaking, but it’s heartbreaking in a different way because you have your whole life to figure it out. When you’re looking back at your life at the end of your life with regret. It’s brutal. It’s brutal.”

What really changed the meaning of “Hurt” and what would lift it to a whole other level was the video. Directed by Mark Romanek, it unfolded like a mini-biography, blending archival footage, home movies, and a performance as strong as the song itself. Aware that he had little time to shoot the video, Mark flew to Tennessee to meet Johnny and found the perfect location — a decaying museum built in Johnny’s honor, the House of Cash Museum. In it, Mark uncovered stacks of old footage. A lightbulb went off when one of the first reels he watched showed a young Johnny riding a train. There was something about the footage of Johnny as a young, vibrant man, cut to him near the end of his life in a weathered old museum, that was undoubtedly powerful.

Three months after the video shoot, Johnny’s wife, June Carter Cash, died. Johnny himself died months later, just under a year after the release of American IV, his album with “Hurt” on it. It would end up being Johnny’s first album to achieve gold status in the U.S. in more than 30 years.

“Hurt” is a prime example of how powerful music can be. What was originally intended to be morose, insecure, and intimate, was a song juxtaposed with a country legend that was beautiful, emotional and introspective. Even though an industrial rock band like Nine Inch Nails penned this dark song that read like a suicide note, it transcended genre to prove that ultimately, the song only deals in one currency… genuine heartfelt emotion.

Watch the story of Johnny Cash's "Hurt" in the video below.

Drunk Wonderland Squad on a Night Out Headcanons

idk this is weirdly specific but they won't leave me alone till I've written them out

(just gonna put this here- mentions of underage drinking, if you don't like that. x)

Peter — everyone thinks he's the guy you'd want to stick with (on account of him being such a mom friend in general day-to-day life) but he literally cannot hold his alcohol and after one/two drinks, you've literally lost him the entire night. He'll dance with everyone, ending & staying with Jason and will whisper musical theatre references back & forth with Ivy the entire evening. Gets incredibly giggly and is lowkey an amazing dancer, even when drunk. He loves a vodka and coke and can usually be found drinking one - Ivy introduced him to this. He's the first one to pass out (usually on the way home) but almost never gets hangovers which makes the entire squad super confused & jealous. Jason basically follows him round the entire night bc he's lowkey kind of worried and has to make sure he's alright. He gets extremely clingy (especially to Jason but also to everyone) and goes around offering everyone a hug (while Jason's following, acting all exasperated bc he wants to dance with him but lowkey loving it.)

Tanya — the person you'd actually want to stick with on a night out. Life of the party and will always make sure you're having a good time. She keeps everyone well stocked with alcohol and makes everyone join in dancing - even Matt. Can hold her alcohol much better than Peter but gets awful hangovers the following day. Really, really loves peach vodka - Peter is the only other person who'll drink it with her. She gets very loud when drunk and will start belting out off-key ABBA songs, Lucas will join in bc that's my girlfriend. She and Lucas have a tradition ever since they started dating of dancing together whenever an ABBA song comes on, anywhere, Lucas has almost broken a leg in an attempt to find Tanya when he's heard the music start.

Matt — lowkey kind of a buzzkill. Turns into your literal mother in Peter's absence (but, like, your strict, paranoid mother not the caring mom-friend) and is constantly checking the time/the people around him/where his friends are. Gets super paranoid that he'll lose his wallet or keys or phone and is constantly checking. Lucas always steals the keys to freak him out. He (Matt) spends the entire evening keeping a tally on who is where and is def the one you want to be with at the end of the night because he will get you home safe. Acts almost like a teacher counting the children: does head counts and is all "meet at the van at half twelve. If you're late, we'll leave without you." Of course, Lucas is always purposely half an hour late or something and bc Matt's not actually going to leave him behind, the rest of them just collectively watch Matt lose his mind as Lucas saunters over at one o clock. Doesn't drink too much at parties/raves so is the designated driver and prefers getting drunk in the comfort of St. Cecelia's where he doesn't have to worry.

Nadia — lowkey scarily good at holding her alcohol. It's really hard to realise she's drunk and she'll often sit calmly to the side, watching the carnage her friends unleash. Gets super intense when actually drunk - tho bc she's quite intense anyway, it can be hard to notice. Will often tag-team with Lucas to steal something of Matt's. She and Lucas have an escalating bet to steal something bigger/more noticeable each time. Once, she accidentally punctured the church van's tire while trying to steal it and they had to hike back instead. Only she and Lucas know what really happened. She and Ivy get really competitive whilst playing drinking games and often have to be stopped, otherwise they'll carry on drinking bc no way are they loosing to the other. At the end of the night, she is usually found sitting at the side bitching to Peter, who is half asleep and nodding along like he'll remember it in the morning.

Jason — similarly to his sister, he can hold his alcohol pretty well, contrary to popular opinion, which is that he's a complete lightweight because the first time he ever got drunk was on two beers and he threw up on Tanya's shoes. But he's evolved since then. Likes going to parties/clubs with dark lights so he can dance with Peter - he lowkey likes drunk Peter who can't stop hanging off him. He likes to play drinking games with Tanya, though Lucas has been banned from joining in ever since he attempted to shave his own eyebrows off when he lost. Lucas and Jason often end up daring each other to do increasingly ridiculous things, tho Jason is better at cutting things off when it gets too intense. Jason's love language is definitely touch and this is even more apparent when he's drunk. Like him and Peter literally cannot stop holding hands - luckily for him, it's dark so nobody can really see and, if they do, it's just played off as a buddy system to stop the other getting lost. Watching Peter sleep in the van on the way home makes him super sleepy so it's all he can do to help Peter inside and into bed before he's asleep too. Often gets really bad hangovers so Peter will bring him breakfast and they'll eat together in bed, maybe make some excuse for missing church so they can stay there longer.

Ivy — signature drink is a vodka & cranberry and it's always the first drink she gets. Usually ends up in the bathroom vomiting at some point bc she loves to mix alcohol with different outcomes - with varying results. She invented her own cocktail when extremely drunk one night which consists of vodka, lemonade, tomato juice, and raspberries. It is absolutely disgusting and nobody else but Lucas (who got such a bad hangover when he tried it, he thought he saw God) will go anywhere near it but she will attempt to convince everyone every time. Giggles a lot when drunk and often gets super emotional. Once cried because Peter spilled his drink on the floor. She gets really loud and is def the one person you'd find on top of a table dancing - Peter would be cheering her on from the floor. The best at placating Matt (even before he started liking her) and persuading him to stay an extra hour or so at the party so the rest of the squad always send her in to convince him. Often wears heels when they go out and is scarily good at keeping her balance in them even while drunk.

Lucas — off the rails. You go out on a night with him and you could wake up with no shoes in Quebec in someone's swimming pool with no memory of what happened. He will literally try any drink you offer him and is always up for dares - to the point where Matt has to intervene bc he's straight up about to jump in the lake with a plastic bag on his head. Extremely fun and you'll def have a good time with him but, if not restrained, the good time could end with a visit to the police station. Has no impulse/self control when drunk and loves to wind Matt up by stealing keys/something that'll freak him out. Will always show up late to their prearranged meeting time to go home and will pretend he's serious about wanting to drive them home to wind Matt up even more. Gets awful hangovers and, if they have class/church the next day, can usually be found either in bed or sitting in class/church with sunglasses and a hoodie pulled right over his head. Last one to fall asleep, he could probably keep going all night.

General —

* The squad usually have one night out a week/two weeks depending on what's going on/where it is

* They can't use church van often as it'll get noticeable so seven times out of ten they'll go somewhere in walking distance or else Lucas will somehow know these lowkey kinda sketch ppl who'll give them a lift (Matt will be freaking out the entire time)

* they'll usually spend Friday nights out somewhere and then Saturday in the common room/someone's dorm/the grounds if it's warm enough

* Peter and Jason attend about 85% of these nights and will plead homework or illness at least once a month so they can spend the night together instead

* Nadia attends about 60% of these and is less likely to go when Peter and Jason don't go but Lucas always tries to persuade her so they can annoy Matt & play drinking games

* Ivy, Lucas, and Tanya literally always go, Matt tags along most times with them bc 'someone's got to make sure they get home'

* Once or twice, Matt has stayed behind and gone to pick Lucas, Tanya, and Ivy up at one instead

* Nadia and Matt sometimes hang out when the others go - they watch scary movies together in the common room - Nadia keeps picking increasingly scarier/gorier ones to see how long it'll take Matt to ask to turn it off but he hasn't cracked yet

Super long post so apologies for that lol, again, feel free to add on/let me know what you think!

⊱┊7

with the moment past {definitely not mentally}, i make my way to the lounge.

“hey, rosé?”

i see him seated on a 3 seat sofa.

a, i hope he didn’t see the way i shaved my hair down there into a love heart... b, he def saw my boobies!!

“y~yes, mr killian?”

“you hungry or something? i can order you some pizza.”

hell, i’m famished, can’t remember the last time i ate.

“no, aha…”

“you sure?”

“actually, yeah, i am, a little... sorry if that’s an inconvenience.”

“no, not at all! don’t be silly. i’m starving.”

i restrict a smile.

“here,” he shifts to the side, patting the middle seat, “make yourself comfortable. i’ll order some now.”

i place his hoody on the armrest and sit on the other end instead; don’t have it in me to sit right next to him. we would be like idk touching and whatnot. amongst the remote and his wallet, he grabs his phone from the middle seat, dialling a number.

“pineapple on pizza?” he faces me, holding the phone to his ear.

i fucking love pineapple on pizza.

“100%,” i reply confidently.

he grins.

i have just found my soulmate.

i admire how laid back he looks: his white untucked dress shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal thick veins and a dark tan, tie tossed on the table. is this how every male teacher looks after work?

‘cause, yummy!

“takeaway. one large vegetarian and one large hawaiian...with extra pineapple, please,” sir glances at me adorably. “cheers, sweetheart,” he hangs up after giving his number and address for the order. “should be here in 40 mins,” he informs me, “catch,” and tosses the remote at me. “pick a movie. make it a good one. i’m gonna go freshen up quickly.”

can i come?

-ˋˏ ༻🍷༺ ˎˊ-

i struggle to find a goddamn movie!

sir’s phone vibrates and i look across at it. why does that thing be buzzing and ringing all the time? i mean... hmm… i lean all the way back, peeping down the hallway. i listen to see if the shower is still on.

🚿pshhshhshhshhshhshh

oh good, it’s still on. i sneakily pick up his orange google pixel 4 xl mobile phone. okay, let’s see, what’s his passcode? says his pin contains at least four digits. hmm...

1 2 3 4

incorrect pin entered

4 3 2 1

incorrect pin entered

6 9 6 9

incorrect pin entered

his birth year, maybe?

1 9 8 1

incorrect pin entered

it’s definitely mine, then.

2 0 0 0

try again in 30 seconds

fuck, what is it?!

now i’m adamant.

a while later, i listen for the shower again. no sound. fuck me! i also haven’t even picked a movie yet! i grasp the remote and quickly flip through the movies. in ‘newly added’ a film that goes by the name ‘barefoot’ {2014} appears. this’ll do. i haphazardly click on it, put his phone back in the middle seat and swiftly bring my knees up on the sofa.

bathroom door opens and mr killian returns, setting himself down.

and ohhhh boy, oh jesus h. christ, he is wearing grey sweatpants. grey. sweatpants. oh my goddddddd!!!!

🎵dun da daaaaa! dunda dunda da dun dadada oo oo oooooo dun da da

i cringe, really should have skipped the first 10 mins or something.

sir looks at me with an amused expression, “just started?”

i nod, embarrassed.

then he cracks up a little, “how long did it take for you to pick a film?”

“i paused it, was waiting for you.”

“yeah?”

“yeah.”

“alrighty then,” he slumps down, letting me get away with the white lie. “this better be good or else you’re held accountable.”

the professional teacher’s vibe is disappearing and transforming into a perky one.

he’s wearing a loose t~shirt with long sleeves and it’s even rolled up. his hair is damp and floppy, making him so much more attractive. he runs his hands through it, flipping it back as the stray droplets of water roll down his neck. i would gladly lick them off for him if he doesn’t mind...

“why’s my phone locked for 60 minutes?”

“huh?” i snap out of my daydream.

“my phone, why’s it locked?”

*ding dong.*

“maybe...you put the wrong password in?”

“pretty sure i didn’t, and you’re the only other person in this house, no?”

*ding dong!*

“aha..ha,” i giggle nervously.

“does it look like i’m laughing?” he asks me condescendingly.

my smile disappears.

*ding dong! ding dong! ding dong! ding dong!*

“ight, i’m coming!!” sir shouts, grabbing his wallet. “..jesus christ, break my damn doorbell, will you..” he mutters under his breath angrily.

bit hot...

-ˋˏ ༻🍷༺ ˎˊ-

i only ate 2 slices of pizza so i wouldn’t look like a fat bitch in front of sir. he, however, didn’t even eat any. so much for being ‘starving’. he was just casually watching me eat. i could feel his eyes on me each time i took a bite and the odd olive or pineapple went rolling down into my lap. it was so awkward!

we’re halfway through the movie and i felt the need to say something because jay, the character, was such a jerk.

“i mean, it’s actually rather heartbreaking. daisy was locked away for most of, if not, her whole life. and now she is finally free, finally able to experience the pleasures of the real world. she put all of her trust in him and he abandoned her. that’s so not cool.”

as i’m analysing the film, i feel his eyes analysing me.

“well, you can’t blame him,” sir counterattacks. “jay had his own life, his own problems to deal with. she was just another added problem to that.”

“then he should’ve led her back to the hospital again instead of taking her on this joyride purely for his own greed.”

“remember, she chose to take part.”

“he was being selfish.”

“he was lending her a hand.”

“which is what ultimately made her fall in love with him in the first place,” i state like a full stop.

sir’s whole face just speaks wow. “so why didn’t you do my analysis homework then, huh?”

“because it’s boring,” i look him boldly in the eyes, his slicked back hair has me feelin’ oozy and woozy.

“oh, it’s boring?” he emphasises, raising his eyebrows. “is that so?”

“yup,” i purse my lips.

“what was it again?” he grabs my arm, pulling me into his lap. “‘boring’, did you say?”

i’m trying to escape and he’s trying to hold me still. gradually, our laughter dies out and we become aware, so much more aware.

“got some on your mouth,” he says in the heat of the moment, running his thumb over my bottom lip.

there was definitely no pizza sauce or whatever on my mouth, but i play my part. somehow, his thumb finds its way inside my mouth and i instinctively wrap my tongue around it. his green eyes glimmer like shiny marbles as he watches me

suck

on his

thumb.

i feel pressure underneath me, something building up in stiffness. i shift his hand away, glancing down and then back up again. his marble eyes, they just look at me. look through me.

no way in hell did i imagine this moment to actually happen. i mean, most of us girls had these insane crushes on teachers, but never did i think it’d unravel like this.

he firmly places his hand on my lower backside and pushes me closer to himself. “what, you scared now?” he whispers, dominance combined with confidence, topped off with lust.

i gulp, trying to sound brave, “and why would i be scared?”

“you should be,” he replies.

i am lost for words. this kind of intimidation is seductive. all i wanna do is kiss him! though i won’t make the same mistake of glancing at his lips twice.

he speaks in a soft tone, “has anyone ever told you how captivating your~”

“my eyes are?” i finish his cliché line off for him.

“...your lips,” he corrects, casting his gaze down at them.

i bite my bottom lip, flustered for acting like a smartass.

“you know, on some occasions, i’ve noticed that you bite your lip when you’re nervous. it’s cute,” he grins, “i like it more than i should,” and waits patiently for me to fall into his devilish trap.

believe me when i say i’m trying goddamn hard to not sink my teeth into my flesh! which is why i replace it with a mere innocent gulp.

“but on most occasions, you gulp,” he says as i’m gulping.

he removes the hair from my neck.

i get hella anxious, hella aroused so i..

“nuh~uh,” he shakes his head and pulls my bottom lip down with the pad of his thumb. “‘nough biting from you, sweetheart. those are mine to bite now.”

am i dreaming right now?

i try to reposition myself by moving a little back so that i’m not directly on him. as i do this, his erection rubs further into me and i slightly moan kinda too evidently. my eyes open super wide and i instantly shut my mouth. it surprises me that it doesn’t faze him one bit.

“your t~t~thing is p~poking me..” i gesture with my eyes to his manhood.

his orbs shine like someone has stabbed an apocalyptic emerald sunset multiple times. it’s glorifying. magical. the stuff dreams are made from. and instead, he pushes me further down onto his sculpture. he leans his head in, his mouth millimetres away from mine.

“and do you like it?” he questions seriously.

our noses touch, our lips brush...

“answer the question.”

“yes,” i squeak. “i like it.”

i try to remain as calm as possible, but it’s impossible due to the nerves causing havoc inside me, particularly the nerves between my thighs. i don’t know what to focus on. that mouth? his eyes? or down below...

“may i let something be known, luv?” sir requests politely.

i nod.

“i can see your tits...through that shirt...” he whispers sexily.

my breath hitches up.

kiss me! why won’t he kiss me? just fucking kiss me! shit, it’s impossible not to look. i give in and look at his lips. the corners curve slightly into a wayward grin. i see... he wants me to initiate it.

welp, sorry, no can do, mister.

he literally places my bottom lip between his teeth and lightly tugs at it, his breaths hitting my mouth like rose petals. this act is enormously enticing, but i know he’s teasing me.

my turn.

i purposely grind in his lap and he suppresses a hoarse groan. then he scoffs. very conceited. he’s so gonna lose. i keep my lips impossibly close to his for when he forfeits which should be right about...now.

he shakes his head smugly.

i frown, pouting.

he half~smiles adorably.

fine, i have a better idea. one he doesn’t see cumming coming.

i lift away the waistband of my borrowed sweatpants and grip his hand. his body automatically tenses up. i can feel him getting harder from just the thoughts i’m giving him. i bring his hand closer to me. he’s losing and it’s hella entertaining to watch.

unexpectedly, a phone goes off and i jump in fright. i rapidly get off him and he returns to his usual, rigid ways. he aggressively clears his throat before answering that stupid device.

whilst pacing up and down and holding his forehead, he stares at me intently like i’m that fucking maths problem again!

BTS as... Rockers

Ngl, I panicked a little when I checked on the masterlist because an older post about BTS as rock band members was labelled as this title and I’d already written this one for like 3 members already. There’s various genres I mention, some of which are also metal and pop but I thought a simple general title would be best here.

Anyways, my second post coming back recently. Hope you enjoy.

RM

Mainly a classics man

Loves to analyse lyrics

and loves writing his own lyrics based on his current favourites

It’s like a form of literature to him

Loves to chill out to prog and psychedelic rock

Accidentally had the same music tastes as that weird geography teacher in school

Probably has a pet named after a member of a power / symphonic metal band

sorry I’m a bit of a Nightwish nerd and now I can just imagine him calling for his dog “Floor!” and everyone getting confused because they think he’s just shouting at the ground

this is the kind of genre he likes the most other than classic rock; that’s where the most literature references are. It’s poetry about poetry

Has a journal of art and lyrics quotes for when he’s super into a song

Could be mistaken for a geek in school 

because to a juvenile ear, his taste in music might be challenging to listen to

like no one else had the patience aged 12 to listen to a 9 minute song or an instrumental track

and then even at 15/16, how many people your age would listen to Dark Side Of The Moon?

Guess he would say music is all about sitting back and listening and taking it in

Would love to be a songwriter for the right kind of singer

unfortunately though, he’s a bit of a loner

likes his own company too much

it’s probably the solitude that motivates him to write 

too many more friends than he already has would be too much of a distraction

It’s not a sad situation though

music is what Namjoon loves the most

and “nothing else matters”

Oh yes, let’s have a bit of Metallica in there too

It’s not until he finishes school that he becomes more in touch with what people in the current world of rock and metal like

discovered “Rollin’” by Limp Bizkit like WAY too many years after it came out

“Have you heard this ace song man?”

“yep... in 2004 dude”

“oh”

But he’s no ashamed or anything, no

He’s proud to be a fan of the bands he likes

even if they aren’t to everyone’s tastes

“Well, sorry if this isn’t some 3 minute long four chord song repeating the same 5 words”

If they don’t appreciate it, their loss

Jin

The old ones are the best ones

Think 50s rock n’ roll; Little Richard, Elvis, and so on

mixed with guilty pleasures of songs about ‘my baby girl’

Loves themed music nights

Whilst of course his favourites are the 50s themed ones

he also loves showing up to 60s nights to flaunt the flower power

or 80s nights in a fun wig as some member of a hair metal band

all the styles are very fun

but on a daily basis, he’s basically dresses like a teddy boy

tight trousers with white socks peaking out

jacket - sometimes a suit jacket, sometimes denim

as you can imagine, when a lot of this stuff comes back in fashion...

“Well, I did it first...”

you know, in this era he means he did it first

Loves a good finger clicker song

Once considered doing a tribute act around pubs and clubs

but he couldn’t decide who he wanted to be

Probably should take a role in some live production of Grease

he’s seen it enough times

and he can sing

He reckons he could never do theatre for long though

his fantasies are with playing instruments to perform

talented keyboard player

starting to get the hang of guitar too

but he does get carried away whilst trying to learn guitar

because he wants to add on all the cool moves NOW

He’s got some bangers he created on the keyboard though

he didn’t really intend to create original songs

it just happened one day after a break up

and he listened to Heartbreak Hotel

too many times

he just sat at his keyboard

and made something that really felt special

and then the day after that, he made a more upbeat song

and the week after that, he has 4 full songs in total

Open mic nights become something he enjoys 

a bit of a local celebrity

“Would you play my grandma’s 80th party? Pleeeease?”

and aww bless him, he plays all the throwback songs at care homes

all free of charge

slips in some of his original music too

“Ooh, I’m afraid I don’t remember that one dear, must be my brain”

“Oh, no no no” explains Jin “I made it myself”

Old dears just love him basically

but so do the girls his age

Whilst some think the whole 50s get up is a bit lame

some go wild for it

because he dons all his outfits so well

and his songs feel so true to the era they were inspired by

you gain a love for the 50s just from watching Jin

Talented boy, keeping the 50s alive

Suga

A lot say Yoongi has an acquired taste

an electronic element to rock or metal always makes it more interesting to him

loves industrial music - NIN for days

Linkin Park made most of his jams

cried for half a day at the news of Chester no longer being with us

Likes a bit of new wave, synthpop, all that

emo songs just help you through the bad times okay

Can equally enjoy a dub festival as much as a rock concert

some people think his taste is actually naff

but then they realise he also listens to the likes Foo Fighters or Sum 41

Plays like the same 30 songs on repeat

but his collection has so much more

He has some rock and blues for the road trip

he’s got your 70s singalongs for the party

Was briefly a DJ at a rock bar

got fired for not playing enough popular songs in his set

“wtf I thought this was a bar where people could appreciate this” huffs Yoongi

“yes but people want to sing to ‘down with the sickness’ or something, not ‘down in the park’!”

“stuff you then, I’ll take Gary somewhere else with me”

guilty pleasure: Kate Bush

A somewhat gothic sense of style

but not overwhelmingly gothic

He likes bandannas and black clothes

not always in black clothes though

sometimes the merch he wants just isn’t available in black

but no worries

as long as he can happily flaunt the music that makes him who he is

J-Hope

Can listen to any rock genre

give him something and he probably already loves it

So yeah, the band members are pretty cool and all that

but what Hoseok has more interest in the backstage roles

he’d love to manage a rock band

be a tour manager

guitar tech

Much knowledge is stored in that brain of his

and he wants to put it to good use

He starts out as a promoter and organiser for the rock bar in town

which he eventually lives above 

His events are ace

he can pick out fresh talent that everyone on that scene can enjoy

His showcase nights are the place to be

everyone can agree, he’s got amazing taste

no one can disagree with him

He’s a one man show and still managed to pull it off

he’s the promoter, the sound guy, the tech on all the instruments

way more professional than most other local music events

He takes pride in his work

did I mention he’s so good, it becomes a full time job?

As time goes by, he listens to less and less older music

but that’s okay

he’s happy with the time it takes to listen to all the up and coming bands

in the moment is where you should live

and he can still appreciate a band’s influences should they initiate conversation

“man, this dude really knows his stuff”

“will you manage our next tour?”

“can you do sound at our next gig? our guy’s rubbish”

and that one is like right in front of their current sound guy

The future is bright for Hoseok

his love for rock music could really earn him a solid living

Jimin

Some say he’s a bit of a poser in his leather jacket

but he really does love his rock music

Sometimes a bit behind on modern rock bands or releases

Low key wishes he was born in the 50s / 60s 

just so he could live in his favourite eras

his heart really lies with the classics

60s, 70s, 80s.

90s at a push

not the later 90s where grunge bands did pop

ew

actually any movie made in that time makes him cringe

like he’s all up for good clean fun

but christ it’s like they were trying to go back to the 50s or something

not everything is ‘swell’ you know

Don’t get him wrong though

he does also like some 50s music

He may or may not have spent that one time acting like Elvis in the mirror

it really hyped him up before a night out though

it may or may not have become a thing before going out in the evenings to boost his confidence

His all time favourite bands have to be The Rolling Stones and AC/DC

and no, he couldn’t pick between the two, ever

Doesn’t really have a desire to be in a band

but sort of accidentally picks up the bass to help out a mate in a band

and sort of accidentally becomes a permanent member

It’s just a cover band

but it’s so much fun

Sometimes, you can have a really bad day

and then listening to 23 people singing “I Love Rock n Roll”

kind of lifts your mood

“Play Wonderwall!”

gets a bit annoying to him

kind of wants to hit that one guy around the head with his bass

but he holds back

Because being aggressive wouldn’t be very rock of him

and whilst he does like punk music

he’s definitely not a punk

Screw all that political rubbish

music should be to enjoy yourself with

stop worrying about the world for one minute and

let’s sing about whiskey and cigarettes and just living life

“What do you MEAN you don’t know any Def Leppard songs?”

“For crying out loud!”

He tries to understand that not everyone will listen what the music he likes

“but... like seriously, how can you not though?”

V

Probably likes all the underrated bands

Loves vinyl

definitely collects vinyls

Likes to shop at vintage stores to fulfil his obscure taste

People are like “you paid £60 just for that?”

but to Tae, it’s worth every penny

He likes the classics too

he can sing along in a rock bar to all the well known tunes

old or modern

and there may be loads in his vinyl collection barely anyone recognises

but there’s some more familiar faces too

there’s The Beatles, Guns n’ Roses, Foo Fighters, anything like that

it’s just only like 20% of his huge collection

Whilst his style is inspired by those he idolises...

he can never copy them

that would be an insult to them and his originality

Plays guitar and writes songs

never anything soppy though

actually fairly hesitant to pick up an acoustic guitar

always plays electric

and the songs he makes are about having a good time, life experiences

but not about love

He can listen to a couple of cheesy tracks

he just won’t make any

“Who the heck is John Otway, Tae?”

“Oh, you know, Wild Willy Barrat”

“Willy who?”

“Cor baby, that’s really free!”

“....”

“Headbutts! da da da da da... Headbuttttsssss”

I feel like rocker V loves anything that feels slightly random

probably make his own secret songs that sound silly to others

Probably has a band that never gigs

it’s him singing and playing guitar

and a bassist and drummer that aren’t really sure why they’re here

but they kind of like the unique stuff he does

and the band is almost purposely bad

“It’s the imperfections that really give a song character”

Jungkook

Modern rock and metal

low key emo

Tears Don’t Fall by BFMV on repeat aged 14, his first break up

Lives for festivals

like when he goes to work, that is what he is earning money for

well, that and bills and food

has a jar for each festival he wants to go to this year

Also loves a bit of melodic punk

like when that one Australian band are finally coming to his country

he HAS to go

help me I’m really sad because this is me and The Decline were supposed to be coming to the UK and then this pandemic happened and now I might never see them criii

Has a playlist for every aspect of life

every feeling, every colour, every occasion

songs that remind him of a time, ones where he can visualise a colour...

many people don’t get it

“how many playlists?”

“how can a song be a colour?”

it just is

like come on, listen to this Red Jumpsuit Apparatus song 

and tell him this doesn’t remind you of gold

Could be a journalist

knows everything and anything about his favourite bands

AVENGED SEVENFOLD

because it’s the perfect mixture of everything he loves about music

vests because M.Shadows

So badly wants to be in a band

tries every instrument you could find in a typical rock band

loves the drums

gets stuck on guitar though in his first band

well, he was just desperate to go gigging

he left after a year and a bit though

got boring

forms his own band instead around him being on the drums

Lives for this band

it’s like a rock band but with political lyrics

and they can perform at most events

they just fit any bill

gigs are booked almost every weekend

road trip with the lads

they travel like 50 miles just to be paid in beer only

Dreams of big time collaborations

that will probably never happen and he knows that

but it’s nice to dream, right?

puts on his own gigs a few years down the line

of course his own band are always on the bill

everyone thinks his gigs are a hoot

He even manages to book some lesser known punk bands 

but they are a massive deal to him

“God, I love live music!”

“Do you always wear a black shirt guk?”

“Hey, I’m a drummer! It’s hard work; a lot of sweat involved... I’m sure no one wants to see my wet pits whilst trying to enjoy the show”

and then that person wishes they never asked...

but he’s right

he knows that a good band is all about the hard graft and work

and he is always so thankful for the great rock bands that influence him

— fast until we crashed into each other's hearts.

requests: I keep forgetting to send this in, but imagine a werewolf s/o with the Rk's! I imagine it would be cute cause they still act a little bit wolfish, even in human form. Or, alternatively, imagine in your cats and dogs Au (which I love btw) a werewolf reader with the dog detectives! Imagine how shocked the others are that a little detective that they thought was just another dog is actually much stronger than any of them! QwQ I just thought it would be cute to tell you these. (This is the same anon from before) I'm glad you liked that werewolf ask! And I actually just thought of another thing! Imagine a bunny/rabbit s/o with the werewolf Rk's! I bet the Rk's would be so protective over them and just imagine a giant werewolf cuddling up to a little bunny that's just calling them cute names and petting them! Or, a jealous werewolf boi that's just glaring at the person and just holding onto their s/o, while their s/o is just happily smiling. It would be so cute! (>w<)

JDJDJFHDJ PLEASE MAKE BUNNY!READER X WOLF!RK900 OR ALL THE RKS CJJCCJJ I LOVE THAT SHIT

hii! I'm in spoopy season mode so can I get headcanons on how markus and connor would react to their s/o being a werewolf? Not the full moon kind, but like voluntary. They feel kinda like they don't fit in with humans or androids and are a bit insecure about it but eventually show them? Maybe they even help in jericho/with investigations later because of their abilities :D

werewolf anon where are you now. do you know that i love you. can you send me a message? just want to hang out, talk about AUs n howl at the moon with u. also, connor has werewolf s/o, wolf!RK900 has bunny s/o, 60 is in cats&dogs AU with werewolf s/o (since he won’t appear in the AU. i think)

Connor:

• there’s not even an attempt at hiding it • he just spouts it out a few days after knowing you  • and you’re there kinda in disbelief but realize after a second that well he’s a detective model after all • gosh how his eyes light up when you confirm being a werewolf • a bit weird you must admit but no judging • okay actually a bit of judging when he asks you if he can see your ‘other form’ • like DEF weird  • and you briefly explain to him that it’s p uncomfortable to have someone inquire about it out of the blue • not to mention you’re very self-conscious about the whole ordeal so?? • he immediately understands and softly goes ‘oh’ • profusely requests for forgiveness follow because the last thing he wanted was to have you feel uneasy bc of him  • you reassure him with a couple of ‘everyone makes mistakes you know’ • actually from there on you become good friends • he’s an android but not quite • he was a deviant hunter and for this reason he’s a bit of an outcast • you almost feel connected to him, in some sort of intricate way • both ‘not quite enough’ or ‘quite too much’ to either fit in your little box • of course your relationship quickly blossoms into love • yes, he spoils you with tons of praises because you don’t deserve to be embarrassed about being yourself • pwease do the same with him! • yes, he also adores how soft your fur is but shh 

RK900:

• it was weird. it still is. • come on a massive wolf getting tenderly captivated (& whipped) by.... a tiny little bunny. • he’s the first having troubles believing that • BUT I MEAN there’s no denying how he’s always thinking about your cute little fluffy pompom tail • im not exaggerating his whole head is just tons of pictures of you with little hearts in every corner • and we don’t want to talk about his death glares when someone’s making you smile too much  • or his claws often wrapped around your hips in such possessive way • not because he’s actually that jealous anyway he’s just dumb and likes others to know you’re his baby • or him offering to lift you up and keep you hugged against his chest because you both don’t have work and things to do right ?? • YOU WISH he’d be joking but no he’s dead serious when he asks you that • idk it’s just p normal in his mind for you to be super touchy with him, esp cuddling in his lap or better taking a nap on top of him while he relaxes and caresses your face • ok ok but he’s not the only one entitled to cute gestures™   • in fact you’re the one assigned to the precious pet names department • and he loves-hates every single minute of that • won’t even bother listing the silly pet names you give him y’all know they’re wolf themed • the amount of lovebites he gives you for all the times you call him something sweet i swear to god • ugh yeah tail wagging is included the cute gap between his stoic face and his fuzzy tail going to-and-fro?  • just,,,, just cuddle him in privacy and he’ll be a mess making all sorts of happy whimpering noises. he’s puppy • tbh a bit disappointed when you don’t do the kiss stomping foot bambi style 

RK800-60:

• he doesn’t mind you too much at first • you’re just another detective, the same as him, nothing special • it’s just.... work • but the morning you inadvertently growl at him in a dominant way   • not because you actually intend to • rather quite the contrary • it’s– it’s this case, okay? been giving you headaches for weeks now and he happened to find you in a bad moment • boy does he get turned on  • i swear he stutters a ‘sorry’ and quietly returns to his desk • and you’re there covering your face with your palms, embarrassed, wondering WHY you have to act like this when you’re nervous and already thinking how to apologise • while he’s fixating his gaze at the center of his table because if he doesn’t focus his face is going to burn like a bright blue neon and that’s not an acceptable response at all • it takes a bit of pining on his part but trust me it’s totally worth it • only him being a big moron crushing hard  • hard as in quite literally • can’t ask for your help on the job bc he’d waste the time thinking about how cute you look with those little soft wolf ears and fangs and claws and tail and and and– you’ve lost him • can’t even ask you to spend lunch break with him because he’d kiss you the whole hour and you wouldnt be able to eat  • but sure can ask you to lift heavy things for him as to savour seeing how strong you are • he’s just a big sub for you being a wolf  • you don’t have to do anything in particular he’s sold at the sole thought of you calling him a good boy while scratching his ears and under his chin • and at the thought of you pegging him yeah

[harrysdimples]

just gonna leave my thoughts about the 1975′s new album, a brief inquiry into online relationships, here bc I’m that type of dumbass that will forget what I thought of it 10 mins after i listen to it kksjsaknskas (this is me listening to the leak btw and obviously I will buy the album when it comes out on friday)

give yourself a try: ?? 10/10 excellent single choice. loves it so much!! the exact techno 80s guitar I needed to live my best life. sign of the times??? le gasp. so just giiiiIIIiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIveeeeeeeee yourself a tryyyyyyyyy....thank u matty for inspiring my self love once more

TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME: THE FUCKING BOP OF THE CENTURY. genuinely on blast 24/7. what a TUUUUUUUUNE. love this with my whole heart and is the wholesome bop I needed. just pop perfection. LAV IT. the video warmed my soul. thank u to whatever god gave me the chance to boogie along to this when I make my breakfast n tea

how to draw / petrichor: why does this intro sound like beginning of a john lewis christmas advert? I mean I’m not complaining, take me to winter wonderland pls. wonderful xylophone usage. this is a veryyyyyy long intro. OH WOW this vocoder i love. not entirely sure what matty is saying but you know ? I dig it. OOFT OK WE TAKING IT SOFT TECHNO IM HERE FOR IT. this feels like a song that if u put on in the background you’d be really productive. ok we’re nearly 4 mins in and not much has happened. im here for these oddly distant computer sounds. hmmmmm not sure how to feel about this. feels like I might be dreaming about 80% of this song but I’m not entirely sure what to think about this. oh the piano at the end pls I love. was this just supposed to be an interlude or?........

love it if we made it: I actually did not like this at all on first listen when it was released as a single but MAN after the video and the genius video I am HERE. FOR. IT. thank YOU matty my KING for this woke af song. we stan. 2 real sometimes tbh. AND I’D LOVE IT IF WE MADE IT. the ultimate headbanging in your car song.

be my mistake: oh.........bitch am I in for a ride with this guitar?.......shit. fuckin hell I’m tearin up already. MATTY JESUS CHRIST. I literally just got chills all over my body. this is like.......a sadder slower version of somebody else if that were possible. I’m literally crying oh wow???? this is so fucking beautiful holy wow. so simple yet so powerful. I am absolutely in love with this. possibly my favourite 1975 song ever and that’s saying something. I feel the urge to lie in the dark at 3am and listen to this song with headphones on & just cry. wow. I am literally in awe. this is one of the most sonically perfect songs I’ve ever heard holy shit. thank you. wow.

sincerity is scary: I’m still emotionally recovering from be my mistake jeez louise but I absolutely LOVE this song too. the mv for this was *italian chef kiss* and the entire message behind this song is so ! bloody ! important ! this three song stretch of love it if we made it / be my mistake / sincerity is scary is grammy worthy within itself. I will FIGHT the recording academy if this doesn’t get an aoty nomination. and this song better be fuCKIN recognised istg

YES??? yeeeeeEEEEEEeeeeesssssss bitch. this is lit??? vocoder is a personal peeve of mine in songs but this pops off? I’ll need to look up what the lyrics are for a lot of this bc I have no clue what he’s sayin 60% of the time in this song. long fade out but im here for it

the man who married a robot: this intro??? MEMES WHOMST??? I am ? wow ? I don’t know what’s going on rn but I’m going with it. this is supposed to be a deeper meaning of a reflection of society but I cannot take this siri voice seriously. confidentiality issues and porn issues with your computer is 2 real. I’m ? this was an eye opening interlude type thing. THE VIOLINS YES PLS. this is giving me those apple launch adverts for new phones background music realness. sad wanking?? here for it and harry approved

inside your mind: these violins??? oooooOOOOooooh this piano??? OKAY BITCH???? that low note ok wow???? these lyrics are slightly stalkerish but u know. oh okay we’re taking it there??? I see. this is a very nice orchestral accompaniment. 10/10 on vocals thank u. this shredding on the guitar in the back? im assuming this is supposed 2 be self aware creepiness & thank god for that. showing how fucked males are as a gender. seeing females as a vessel for their own personal pleasure and then when they either don’t get that or have used them for what they need, turn to violence as the natural consequence of his actions.

it’s not living (if it’s not with you): a vibey song that I needed. I’m lovin it. feels like it could be part of an 80s coming of age film, like ferris bueller’s day off or sixteen candles. the chorus absolutely SLAPS and thank you for this bop. an amazing song for a long car journey/road trip. 10/10 would recommend listening

surrounded by heads and bodies: oh........no........I thought I was safe after be my mistake but APPARENTLY NOT. these harmonies are heavenly. feel like this is what you hear as you are being lifted into heaven to calm you down. has that whimsical/ethereal vibe and I absolutely love it with matty’s voice. the lyrics are fuckin sad :( I am hurting. my hort :(  will be adding this to my sleepy time playlist on spotify of songs that lull me to sweet dreams, I look forward to falling asleep to this (and I mean that in the best way possible) 

mine: this flute? hm. oh......no.....another piano my heart is too fragile for this please no. this is so pretty :( oh no I am tearing up. pleaSE I LOVE THIS. SAXOPHONE AHHHHHH MY FAVE. JAZZY????? ALL I COULD EVER WANT PLEASE THANK YOUUUUUUU.

OHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. please I am so emotionally fragile this is a lot for my overly emotional heart to handle. you are just fine!!! because I know you are mine!!! someone stab me in the chest please!!! when will I receive love!!!! a contender for my fave on the album

I couldn’t be more in love: judging by the title if this is another slow song I’m going to bawl my eyes out. oh fuCK. this is......sad........I am..........sad. matty’s voice oh my god????? my love.....I need to be held. baby I’ll rely on all the things i did BECAUSE I’LL GIVE YOU ALL THE YEARS OF MY LIFE FUCK OFFFFFFFFFF I AM SWAN DIVING OFF A CLIFF. THIS CHOIR??? RIP MY SOUL FROM MY BODY THANKS. I am thIS close from having an emotional breakdown. and this bloody guitar solo just solidified that for me okay wow I was not nearly emotionally prepared enough for this album. THAT KEY CHANGE BITCH?????? I am so sad but I’m having a musical eargasm. wow I loved that.

I always wanna die (sometimes): (that’s a fat mood) oh no I really am going to cry during this song. oh. fuck. holy fuck this is genuinely a situation I’ve been in before and I don’t know what to do with myself. 

I had to stop and listen after the first verse because this song hit me so much. wow. this is a masterpiece. the bridge is absolutely beautiful. one of the most meaningful songs I’ve ever listened to. god listening to this song after I’ve gone through is making me so emotional. and matty’s vocals are the most angelic thing I’ve ever heard. I don’t even know how to describe this song because it’s just that good. just wow. so fucking beautiful and the best closer to an album I’ve heard since hs1. I just love this with my entire being.

overall rating: 10. my favourite album of 2018 by far. just beautifully crafted and a genuine piece of art. this is the band’s best album. I need to go process what I just heard but wow. just so beautiful and I’m thankful my ears were so blessed to hear this. faves from the album are def mine, be my mistake, tootime and I always wanna die (sometimes)

I think I’m done with watching Female Trouble for a while. I feel like I’ve seen it like five times or more within the last four years and that’s too much for a comedy. It’s still a great movie though. The whole cast is great in their own way especially for top billed cast for remembering all that Waters dialogue and nailing certain punctuated words when needed. They’re all great. I think rewatching it again I really narrowed into Mink Stole’s performance again as the Hare Krishna brat and really getting glee from the Baltimore accents, that’s like the best way to hear Divine’s Earl in the movie. I feel like the first time I saw the movie I didn’t know Divine was both Dawn and Earl so he has sex with himself literally in the movie early on, it’s hilarious when Earl goes down on Dawn.

Also, at point Edith is offered eggs, I think it was when she’s in the cage and Mink asks her if she wants eggs and she says no, she hates eggs which is a fun nod in reverse from her Egg Lady character in Pink Flamingos.

It’s wild they shot in an actual prison and I believe that was a real electric chair which seems super spooky to me.

I think the only thing that grossed me out with that movie was when the photographers shoot up Divine with something that I don’t think it was real but it looked like they used a real needle and that stuff just gives me shivers. Other than I wasn’t grossed out and I feel like a lot of people won’t be grossed out either, maybe I’m just used to that movie but overall that movie feels less gross than his other early ones. It’s def not a PC friendly movie and def of its time (the R word is said a lot) but if you know all this I think one would have fun.

Desperate Living is something else though. I think I’ve only seen one other time, although I have seen Mink’s (Peggy) rant at the beginning out of context a bunch of times for pleasure. It’s a wild movie, it starts right away with Mink having a breakdown at her second store bedroom yelling at children outside. Not long after that there’s naked children (you don’t see anything inappropriate which was a relief) and then at some point Mink’s husband is dead and she and her lesbian nurse Grizelda (Jean Hill) are on the lamb from the police. One cop catches up with them and Mink and the nurse have to give up their panties to the cop who then proceeds to strip to his underwear and he puts them on. Next he demands that they give him a kiss, they oblige and this leads to the cop laying down on the ground, making weird noises.

The rest of the movie is set in a shantytown Mortville (except for one quick moment outside of like a liquor store and one scene at a hospital where a character demands at gun point to get a sex change, that whole sex change bit is all done distastefully as expected and borderline lazy but it’s the 70’s!) where Edith Massey (Queen Carlotta) plays an evil Queen who rules the area so the movie is the two characters adapting to this place and we’re introduced to even more whacky characters!

There was so much nudity in the movie and not female nudity but male too. It was a real boob and dick and ass fest! (And some vagina too) Susan Lowe (Mole) and Liz Renay (Muffy) kind of becomes the co-leads couple of the movie during this part of the movie along with Mary Vivian Pierce’s Princess Coo-Coo (daughter of the Queen) and Mink. Grizelda has a house fall on her during the movie (spoilers) and that was a bummer because she was a fun character. Anyways, Queen Carlotta declares a backwards day, everyone in Mortville has to walk backwards or they’ll face death. Very harsh, this leads to Mole to start a rebellion. And that’s pretty much the movie. I’m sleepy so it’s not the best description.

It was fun recognizing all the lesser known Dreamlanders in this movie from Female Trouble.

The other real highlights for me were:

- Mole’s flashback as a wrestler

- Mink dressed up like the wicked witch, cooking up a rabies brew.

- the dual lesbian sex sequence where Peggy and Grizelda have loud sex while Muffy and Mole also have loud sex.

- twice Queen Carlotta has loud hetero sex with her guards, I think she’s fully clothed in these scenes and the guys are all naked. Like I said lots of dicks!

- the four pals go to Mortville’s nudist colony where Mole has a regular conversation about her day with a naked woman and all the whole during their conversation we see like naked guys on pogo sticks and naked guys and gals playing like sports. It was wild. Def not something you see in most movies.

Not a great movie but still all these moments added up to a good time to me.

Just being in a movie theater as the city feels like it’s on the verge of lifting even more mask policies was interesting. I think I would’ve been more off put by seeing people without masks if I wasn’t used to seeing that on the bus, work, eating in fast food places and so many other places. It’s not for everyone for sure. The rules are just so odd. I’m repeating myself but it bears repeating you must wear a mask to go inside but when you’re in you can take your eat popcorn or sip a drink so idk! Like I said I’m already kind used to be around people who aren’t wearing masks even in indoor places, it is a little different being in a semi-packed movie theater but it seemed like 60/40 of the people in the place were pretty good at keeping their masks on, not the people around me though, I guess Waters movies brings out that rebellious spirit in people even if it’s misguided. It didn’t bother me enough to leave though so again, I just have to get used to it if I really do want to go to the movies again so yeah it is what it is.

Overall I had a pretty fun night, I’m glad I saw these movies and I wish I was more knowledgeable about the Fast and the Furious movies. And I wish I was a good writer because both John Waters movies and the Fast & the Furious movies are kind of about outcasts becoming a family, not in the traditional sense but like a real supportive community. And there’s a link that crime is totally involved too. I feel like I’d need a third thing to tie them together too but there’s something kind of there, right? I don’t know the Fast movies well enough to even try to write a piece like that but I did think of it as I contemplated when I’ll go to the movies again which will probably be the next Fast movie which I hope will be good, fun trash!

DOMESTIC THINGY: benpatty bc i ship it and everyone else should 💫

holy shit is there a Third person who ships benpatty??? @pastel-franceschi WE FOUND ANOTHER we should start a gc or something omg

send me a ship for the Domesticity Meme

big spoon/little spoon: ben is the big spoon, patty is the little spoon

favorite non-sexual activity: trying different vegan restaurants together or just goin on little dates

who uses all the hot water: ben says it’s patty. patty says ben’s a liar.

most trivial thing they fight over: food brands

who does most of the cleaning: it’s like a 60:40 split between patty:ben

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: oooh hmm… ben

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: ben

who steals the blankets: patty initially, but when ben steals the blankets back, hope is lost and patty just has to cuddle up instead

who leaves their stuff around: they’re both cluttered messes. everything is Everywhere

who remembers to buy the milk: ben

who remembers anniversaries: ben, again lol (it’s bc he always Plans Things/Surprises)

Who cooks normally? they’re both probably disasters that take turns attempting things. ben can successfully make vegan mac n cheese, so that’s a regular meal

How often do they fight? they never have any ~real~ fights; they’re good with communication. usually their fights are about work/music/ideas

What do they do when they’re away from each other? they text each other when they’re just a room away. when they’re actually apart? it’s Terrible, they’re always tweeting/texting/facetiming for the first couple days. if they’re away for like a week or something, then they can eventually chill out, but man they love each other so much that they are just in constant contact

Nicknames for each other? ben 100% uses nicknames way more often than patty, calls him “sweetheart,” “angel,” “baby,” “love,” etc etc etc.; i’m still debating on whether or not “bunny” should be a Real and Valid nickname that patty has for ben, so take that as either serious or a joke?

Who is more likely to pay for dinner? oooh this is def something they argue about, bc patty knows vegan food is expensive and wants to pay bc he’s the reason they go to vegan restaurants, but ben Loves treating patty and def always wants to pay for everything

Who steals the covers at night? i just realized that the “blankets” question above answers this lol (patty, then ben steals them back, so patty deals w this by becoming a total cuddlebug)

What would they get each other for gifts? everything has something handwritten in it, because they’re both poetic saps. patty will make videos, scrapbooks, he plans surprise parties, things like that. 

Who kissed who first? patty!! he kisses ben ‘goodnight’ after their first official date

Who made the first move? ben was the one to ask out patty/confess his feelings

Who remembers things? ben

Who started the relationship? patty was the one who took it to a less-than-platonic level (flirtflirtflirtflirt), ben was the one who made it official

Who cusses more? patty swears like a sailor but ben is close behind

What would they do if the other was hurt? ben would b rlly fussy over patty getting hurt, definitely coddles him (and patty is 100% okay with that, lol, it gets him out of doing heavy lifting/etc.). patty would probably see any injury from ben and be like “omg SICK dude– now let’s go get that taken care of” (i.e., bloody noses/black eyes/broken fingers/etc.)

Cardi B Donates 20,000 Meal Supplements To Medical Staff After Hospital Stint + Oprah & Jeff Bezos Donate Over $100M To Coronavirus Relief

Celebs are joining forces to pitch in for Coronavirus relief efforts. Deets on what Cardi B, Oprah and more are doing inside…

The Coronavirus crisis is taking a toll on everyone. More people are being confirmed to have tested positive and more people are dying from it. As of the time of this post, the United States have over 257,000 confirmed cases and over 6,500 deaths.

As most of us have been staying inside to help slow the spread of the deadly virus, celebs are pitching in to help healthcare workers on the front lines and citizens who need help feeding their families.

Last week, Cardi B and DJ iMarkkeyz announced they will be donating the “Coronavirus Remix” proceeds to those affected by the pandemic. Now, Bardi is doing more.

The Grammy Award winning rapper has donated 20,000 bottles of OWYN – a plant-based, vegan meal supplement – to healthcare workers and staff in NYC hospitals and ambulance crews. It’s reported the “Press” rapper donated the drinks because she wanted to gift workers something to put on their stomachs when they don’t get a chance to eat during shifts. As you can imagine, they’re likely eating very little if at all while on the clock with the way the pandemic continues to spread.

  The "Money" rapper made the donation after she went to the emergency room for stomach pains.

  Thankfully, her health issues aren’t related to COVID-19. She shared with her fans that her stomach had been hurting for four days and that she dropped six pounds, so she went to the ER. Good news is she’s doing well now.  And it's equally good news she's no longer calling Coronavirus a consipiracy that celebs are being paid to say they have....

                  @chefjoseandres and Claire Babineaux-Fontenot have teamed up with @leonardodicaprio, Laurene Powell Jobs and @Apple to launch America’s Food Fund to help feed local communities. I was struck by the work these organizations are doing and while everyone’s priority right now is to stay safer at home, I know there are many of us looking for ways to help. I believe that America’s Food Fund will be a powerful way to make a difference for our neighbors in need and am committing $1 million to this fund to support those facing food insecurity. I am donating $10 million overall to help Americans during this pandemic in cities across the country and in areas where I grew up. For more on this Fund and how everyone can be of service, tap the link in my bio to watch this free AppleTV+ conversation.

A post shared by Oprah (@oprah) on Apr 2, 2020 at 5:45am PDT

  Several celebs have joined forces, gathered their coins and launched a new initiative, America’s Food Fund, which will provide funding to help feed vulnerable citizens impacted by #COVID19, including children who rely on school lunch programs, low-income families, the elderly, and individuals facing job disruptions. The organization has already raised $12 million and will work with hunger relief organizations World Central Kitchen and Feeding America to continue providing meals.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio serves as a co-founder of America’s Food Fund with philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs. Apple and the Ford Foundation are also donating funds to the movement.

Yesterday, Oprah donated $1 million to help launch the new initiative.

  Jeff Bezos - Amazon founder & CEO - made a huge donation to Feeding America that will be distributed to food banks in the U.S. to help amid the crisis. He donated $100 million to Feeding America.

          View this post on Instagram

                  Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately COVID-19 is amplifying that stress significantly. Non-profit food banks and food pantries rely in large part on surplus food from a range of food businesses. For example, many restaurants donate excess food. But during this time of social distancing, restaurants are closed, and many other normal channels of excess food have also shut down. To make matters worse, as supply is dwindling, demand for food bank services is going up.⁣ ⁣ Today, I want to support those on the front lines at our nation’s food banks and those who are relying on them for food with a $100 million gift to @FeedingAmerica. Feeding America will quickly distribute the funds to their national network of food banks and food pantries, getting food to those countless families who need it.⁣ ⁣ Feeding America is the largest non-profit focused on food security. Millions of Americans are turning to food banks during this time. If you want to help, the link to Feeding America is in my bio. They’d be excited and grateful for donations of any size.

  "Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately COVID-19 is amplifying that stress significantly," Jeff wrote on IG. "Millions of Americans are turning to food banks during this time."

“We are deeply grateful for Jeff Bezos’ generous $100 million contribution to Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund," said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America. "This donation, the largest single gift in our history, will enable us to provide more food to millions of our neighbors facing hardship during this crisis. Countless lives will be changed because of his generosity.”

While we're def happy Jeff offered up that uber generous donation, maybe now he can listen to the workers in his warehouses who have been complaining about working in unsanitary conditions. A recently fired Amazon worker wrote an open letter to Jeff Bezos to air out his frustrations.

Below are a few excerpts:

Dear Jeff Bezos,

When I applied to work at Amazon, the job description was simple. It said you need to have a high-school diploma or a GED (general educational development) and you have to be able to lift 50lbs. That’s it. Now, because of Covid-19, we’re being told that Amazon workers are “the new Red Cross”. But we don’t want to be heroes. We are regular people. I don’t have a medical degree. I wasn’t trained to be a first responder. We shouldn’t be asked to risk our lives to come into work. But we are. And someone has to be held accountable for that, and that person is you.

I have worked at Amazon for five years. Until I was fired last week from the Staten Island warehouse in New York City, I was a manager assistant who supervised a team of about 60-100 “pickers”, who pick items off the shelves and put them on conveyer belts to get sent out for shipment.

At the beginning of March, before the first confirmed case of coronavirus at the facility, I noticed people were getting sick. People had different symptoms: fatigue, light-headedness, vomiting. I told HR. I said: hey, something’s wrong here. We need to quarantine the building. I wanted us to be proactive not reactive. Management disagreed and assured me they were “following CDC guidelines”.

The lack of protections worried me. Inside the warehouse, there are gloves, but they are not the right kind. They are rubber instead of latex. There are also no masks. Hand sanitizer is scarce. There are limited cleaning supplies. People are walking around with their own personal hand sanitizer, but good luck finding one in a local grocery store.

Because of those conditions, I didn’t feel safe, so I took paid time off to stay home and avoid getting sick. Eventually, though, I ran out of paid time off and I had to go back to work. Other colleagues don’t have that option. Many of my co-workers and friends at the Amazon facility have underlying health conditions. Some have asthma or lupus or diabetes. Others are older people, or pregnant. They haven’t gone to work in a month, so they haven’t been paid. They’re only doing that to save their lives: if they get the virus they could be dead. One of my friends, who has lupus, is living with his relatives so he doesn’t have to pay rent. Can you imagine if he couldn’t do that? He’d probably be homeless.

Another problem is that Amazon has imposed mandatory overtime to keep up with the demand of everyone ordering online. The result is that Amazon employees are going to work sick as dogs just so they can earn $2 per hour on top of their regular pay. Do you know what I call that? Blood money.

The Amazon worker started to raise awareness about the unsanitary conditions. When a worker became sick, management told the worker to NOT tell the other associates. He said he contacted the New York state health department, the governor, the CDC and the local police department to try and get the warehouse closed down so that it could be properly sanitized. It never happened.

Because Amazon was so unresponsive, I and other employees who felt the same way decided to stage a walkout and alert the media to what’s going on. On Tuesday, about 50-60 workers joined us in our walkout. A number of them spoke to the press. It was beautiful, but unfortunately I believe it cost me my job.

On Saturday, a few days before the walkout, Amazon told me they wanted to put me on “medical quarantine” because I had interacted with someone who was sick. It made no sense because they weren’t putting other people on quarantine. I believe they targeted me because the spotlight is on me. The thing is, it won’t work.I am getting calls from Amazon workers across the country and they all want to stage walk-outs, too. We are starting a revolution and people around the country support us.

If you’re an Amazon customer, here’s how you can practice real social distancing: stop clicking the “Buy now” button. Go to the grocery store instead. You might be saving some lives.

And to Mr Bezos, my message is simple. I don’t give a damn about your power. You think you’re powerful? We’re the ones that have the power. Without us working, what are you going to do? You’ll have no money. We have the power. We make money for you. Never forget that.

Chris Smalls is a former Amazon employee

  There's also this:

  Nah, sexual enhancements - especially that are geared mainly (but not all) toward women - are most definitely essential.  Stop the misogyny, because we all know men wouldn't say this same thing about condoms or Viagra.

G’s Core Pt 2

(Undertale is property of Toby Fox, thus I hold no legal rights to it. CORE!Frisk is Dokudoki’s creation, Gaster!Sans is commonly found in Echotale and or Underpatch which were created by Yoralim and Borurou respectively, ERROR!Sans was created by Lover of Piggies and Axetale is the creation of Bananafrappe and Azulandrojo while most of the artwork for their AU comes from Mercy-Monster. These are all ideas I’ve borrowed and they’re to be credited with these things, although this story is my creation so thanks for reading and please check the earlier mentioned creators out. Please enjoy!)

Every Journey Begins With One, Hellish Step

“….” G stared in silent bewilderment at his companion’s unconscious state, barely able to register the transparency his companion had begun to display. His silence would be broken, however, the frigid zephyrs trying to drain him of the little body heat he could retain as snow began to fall from above with a desperate haste to reach the ground beneath his boots. “Sorry, but I won’t be able to survive in this weather if I stay out here. I’ll see you when you wake up, kid.”

Pulling over his hood and zipping his jacket, G strode into the forest, casting a hesitant glance back at CORE!Frisk before quietly scoffing. They’ll be fine. They always are. Besides, they have to decide whether or not they’re tangible, so they’re safe from hypothermia or those ‘ravenous beasts’ they mentioned. G thought assuredly, a smirk coming to his face as he made his way towards one of the Guard Barracks.

The snow crunched beneath his boots, accompanying his every breath and step, the forest’s quiet wildlife boding poor tidings later. Didn’t matter, though. Once he got to the barracks, he’d have access to the public records and provisions. Frisk said that the population’s been cut by zero-point-3 percent, which may or may not be a lot depending on the time frame we’re given…He stopped, the sound of his boots crunching snow ceasing as he swept the heavily wooded landscape with his eyes.

Something’s not right. He thought to himself, certainty in his being. Wait….Looking around cautiously, he summoned a pair of long, nondescript bones to his hands. His breathing was all he heard, the quiet birds and rodents having gone silent. 

“When it’s silent in the forest, there’s a predator nearby.” CORE!Frisk’s words rang in his head, their familiarity with that subject having come from living in a man-made Hell on the surface.

Alright, G thought, supraorbital ridge furrowing in seriousness. If Frisk’s right, than who is it I’m up against? The Dog Guard, perhaps? This is their modus operandi: stalking their prey ‘til it’s far enough away from the beaten path that it won’t find its way back… A rustling of feathers made him lift his head to find a crystal-feathered avian staring down at him from the branches above in its nest. Okay, it’s just a drake, nothing to worry about…

His thought was proved wrong when the creature above him snarled, its teeth slick with blood and dust, making the Revenant’s eyes narrow as he took a stance similar to that of Papyrus. Looks like those lessons Fell!Pap gave me are going to finally be put to good use.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, he found the Drake diving at him with its razor like talons ready to tear into his being, forcing him to slide away as the avian monster sank its fierce claws into the spot where he’d stood not a moment before before turning and charging for his head. G, seeing how the maddened creature’s eyes practically burning with desperation, slammed the bone in his left hand onto the ground and flipped above the mastiff-sized raptor to land behind it with a swing for its head.

The blow landed, but instead of incapacitating it as intended, G’s senses swam with data concerning the beast before him. “LV: 7  HP: 20/20  ATK: 15  DEF: 6  EXP: 2  NEXT: 30″ These numbers, as inconsistent as they were, explained a lot about this creature’s life. Despite being a bird of prey, a Drake wasn’t usually battle intuitive or aggressive, and yet this one was holding up against a blow that could’ve concussed a Royal Guard in the central timeline of their multiverse.

Said reptilian-avian screeched, sinking its jaws into G’s shoulder as a reward for his lapse in focus. Jolting in pain from his unconscious observation, G willed the bone in his right hand to undergo a transmutation, grafting the bone in his right arm into a casing with the skull of a blaster around his fist which he subsequently used to remove the foul poultry from his now damaged shoulder.

His stats held themselves in his mind, the knowledge that Sans and Gaster’s fusing into him bringing him what he was still a bitter taste in his mouth. “LV: 13  HP: 70/70  ATK: 130  DEF: 130  EXP: 60  NEXT: 254″ The skull over his fist glowed, G’s high magic output giving it an artificial facsimile of power and sentience, only to be shattered over the encroaching Drake’s brow with a punch.

Its eyes vacated of life and its body fell to the snow covered ground, every molecule of its being beginning to quiver in ecstatic madness as it prepared to become dust. “No you don’t!” G said sternly, flooding magic into his hands and the creature he’d felled, his intent alien to any other than himself.

The bird’s body ceased to quiver and yet its eyes still remained vacant of life, as if it were any empty shell yet to be filled. It croaked out a strange chirp, a grim smile crossing G’s face as he returned his bone staff back into the ether from whence it came.

“That’s more like it…Now then,” Turning away from the empty eyed bird, G looked towards the general direction of the barracks he’d come this far for, with a groan. “Back to walking.”

The barrack door creaked with neglect, its hinges fighting against themselves to move in the frigid air that threatened to snuff the warmth from all life in the forest. G sighed heavily, scowling at the cold, dark place he’d held such hope in finding. Fitting, that a monster would seek a cold, dark dwelling instead of the outside world. He’d have chuckled if not for how peeved he was with the bird he’d recruited as his thrall.

During his trek, it hadn’t shut up or behaved with any semblance of intelligence outside of premature sentience displayed by a child. Every tree was so interesting to it that it had to circle it three time before climbing to the highest branches that could support its weight. This wasn’t something G appreciated at all, if put in mild words.

Even his memories as Gaster told him that children weren’t this easily distracted or poorly behaved. Said avian dived under him with its scaled belly acting like that of a penguin, knocking G flat on his ass as a result and getting him to growl in disapproval. “Thrall!” G said firmly, rising to stand and see his psuedo-puppet to be frozen before him like a toy soldier. “Cease this unruly behavior, you sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgic half-grounded Achiyalabopa-wigeon crossbreed, or so help me; I’ll make your undeath a Hell worse than this one you’ve been in!”

It merely blinked its lifeless eyes at him before returning to whatever it had been doing before, G’s quiet groan audible to only himself. If I’d gotten a Caladrius, an Alicanto or even an actual Achiyalabopa, this wouldn’t be a problem. He silently stewed, glaring venomously at the mastiff-sized avian’s turned head. But I got a Drake: a near-flightless, avian with as little intelligence as a newborn when enthralled! Why did I think this would be a suitable thrall?! Am I going soft?! Am I getting sentimental?!

Despite knowing the answers to these questions, G continued his internal queries as he entered-closing the door behind him with his left heel-and took a seat on one of the numerous bunk beds occupying this small barrack. Sighing heavily with a drag of freshly lit cigarette, G admitted to himself what he hated to think about. I’m desperate for companionship.That’s why I enthralled this stupid, fucking bird.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, he found said avian in front of him with a small book in one of its talons and its mouth agape in something similar to the smile a pet would give its owner. “Thanks, Thrall….I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading it.” G said, a rueful smile crossing his face as the bird gave him the book and darted after something only its falsely-resurrected eyes could self-deceive.

“Go have fun, Thrall…”Taking another drag of his cigarette as he stared out the window into the dark, blizzard-beaten forest outside, G muttered under his breath, “This is gonna be our home for a while, so we might as well get comfy.” Falling back into the bed, he propped open the book Thrall had given him, the cherry of his cigarette illuminating the words of the first page.

“L” albums recap.

5 weeks and 111 albums, this is recap #12 of 26.

Discoveries

1. I’m back in the game.

After two letters in two weeks and only one Top 100 contender, “L” put me back on track ushering in a whopping 111 albums while adding nine albums to the contender list. We haven’t seen over 100 albums in a letter since “B,” which clocked in with 123 (not including any add ons after the fact).

2. “L” spanned the gamut.

The contenders this month touch upon a handful of differing genres: hard rock, alt-country, punk, indie rock, hip-hop, whatever the new Kanye West is... Along with that, the contenders came from a variety of sources: a couple albums were gifted to me, a couple were recommended by friends, and a couple were straight up risks I took a plunge on and purchased. 

3. Mr. West woke up.

Kanye finally made the list, doubling down on the letter “L.”

Surprise Contenders

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin: Believe it or not, but this was the first time I listened to this album in its entirety. Also, this is the first album that made the list off a first listen, although, had I heard it decades ago, it probably would be on the list just the same. 

Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill: Hardcore punk is full of satire. Hip-hop, not so much. So it comes as little surprise that these three Jewish Brooklynites would transfer that punk energy and obnoxiousness into a burgeoning Def Jam scene. What comes as more of a surprise is how well it holds up over 30 years later.

Kanye West - The Life of Pablo: I don’t “own” this album. In fact, I don’t even have the most recent version (mine ends with “Fade” instead of “Saint Pablo”). And, probably more importantly, can we even call it a studio album, given the fact that it was never officially finished? Putting all this aside, along with the fact that, after much discussion with my fiancee and confronting my incessant defense of Kanye, there is no excuse for the “I made that bitch famous” line, The Life of Pablo is chaotic, unhinged, relentless and sticks with me far after its completion. Ask me again in a couple of years and maybe this opinion will change, but for now, it gets a slot.

Surprise Non-Contenders

Fenix TX - Lechuza: This is another one of those albums I couldn’t get enough of in high school. It’s a hindsight non-contender. 

R.E.M. - Life’s Rich Pageant: One of their stronger releases and, in my opinion, one that often gets overlooked. Just not strong enough.

Less Than Jake - Losing Streak: This would have been contender number 3 for the Gainesville act and long-running “favorite band” contender. There’s just a bit too much filler, and unlike “Hello Rockview” and “Borders and Boundaries,” the filler has little to offer.

Rainer Maria - Long Knives Drawn: This is a great breakup album but may need to be listened to in the midst of a breakup to be fully appreciated.

Lupe Fiasco - Lupe Fiasco’s Food and Liquor AND Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool: Maybe it’s the fact that he’s never recovered from the “Lasers” debacle. Maybe it’s the fact that rap is going through an “alternative” phase so he doesn’t feel as novel. Maybe it was my overambitious believe that one, if not both, of these albums would make the cut. But they didn’t. Sorry Lupe.
