Hello there!! Can I request some headcanons / mini-scenarios for: Dan Heng, March, Welt, Himeko, Yanqing and Jing Yuan; with a normally soft-spoken Reader who has a wide vocal range (from contralto to hitting those high notes) and occasionally does song covers? Doesn't matter the genre, so long as Reader likes it.

So they might hear Reader singing something like a lullaby or a traditional Xianzhou song one day, to something that's still soft and sweet like a mainstream pop song on another day; to belting out something like "Kakusei" or "NEXUS" from the Promare OST. :D

★ A/N: I understood the request, I just hope I wrote it in a way you wanted! People with such a large vocal range are so talented istg, they gotta teach me. (I say as if I have ANY confidence to sing anyways)

☆ Genre/Trope: Platonic

★ Format: Bullet Pointed Head Cannons (And small scenario at the end :>)

☆ Warnings: None

★ Extra: Reader is a Nameless // Readers age is undisclosed so imagine them at whatever age you wish // Reader can play instruments! // Characters might be OOC I feel // Proof Read but I did it when it was 4am lmao

When you sing more soft songs, Dan Heng tends to enjoy listening. It helps him feel more relax and sometimes rids his mind of nightmares.

He's more used to hearing that kind of voice from you. So when one day, he walks in on you singing a song that's the exact opposite of how you usually sing, he's a bit surprised.

He never doubted you could have a big vocal range, however hearing you sing a song that's different to how he normally hears you sing is what surprised him.

He still enjoys listening, but more so when you sing in a softer voice, don't get him wrong. He still enjoys your singing voice and will support you. But he isn't one for a more loud song.

"[Name]...if you're going to sing more...on the loud side, could I request you do it else where?" Dan Heng sighs softly, being awoken up once again due to you. Despite his words hinting at annoyance, his facial expression was soft and kind. A soft sorry came from your voice as you quickly turned off the music you were using, switching to a more softer song. An old Xianzhou lullaby. "Here, I'll make it up to you. Sit on the couch and I'll sing a softer song" You smiled, Dan Heng chuckled as he obliged. He can't deny that your more softer voice doesn't help him fall asleep. He silently hums along to your voice, and in a sleepy voice he speaks to you before drifting to bed. "If you enjoy music like that so much, we can pay a visit to Serval okay?"

March 7th LOVES your singing voice. She would sing along to whatever song you were singing. She praises you every time she hears you and likely took photos of you singing.

She so supports you if you ever make a YouTube (StarTube?) account and posted covers, literally your number 1 fan.

When you post a cover of a song, she's always the first one to like, comment and listen!

When you post a cover of a song that's VERY different. (Let's say, Usseewa) and you hit ALL those high notes and, everything omg. She was surprised but immediately hyped you up.

She doesn't mind if you sing songs like that at all, your singing is amazing. Like I said, number 1 fan...she doesn't hid it either.

"I love you [Name]!" "Uh, the one with the blue camera and pink hair?" "OH. MY GOD. [NAME] YOU NOTICED ME, YOU NOTICED ME. I.LOVE.YOU" Serval laughed out loud seeing Marchs outburst, as if you two don't live with each other. You could only look away with a small smile, seeing March jump up and down and shaking whoever was beside her. Much to Welts "delight"

Welts very impressed with your vocal range. But he's also worried, he knows that if you were able too have a large vocal range, you likely know how to manage it.

Still, anytime he hears you singing songs like NEXUS or Kakusei he can't help but slide over a bottle of water for your throat.

If you ever join a concert with Serval then he IS buying tickets, though not everyone may go (Dan Heng) he and the rest of the Express will.

He also tends to buy any merch you may come out with if there is any. (Mainly for March but he does keep one or two for himself to support you)

He doesn't really have a preference when it comes too what songs you sing, just as long as your happy and it isn't really disturbing anyone.

If you ever start a StarTube channel, he might animate a few of your covers! Under a pen name though, he's not embarrassed, but I think he'd like it if you thought it was a different fan and not just him who's already liked your singing from the start. (If that makes sense)

"WELT! Weltweltwelt" You ran up to him, quickly showing him an animation someone did of one of your new songs. "ArahatosNumber1Fan animated one of my covers again" You said excitedly, bringing the phone screen back to your view as you scrolled through the comments. Many complimenting the animation but many also asking who sang the cover to which they were directed to your account. "This the guy that you said was helping boost your channel subs?" You nod happily, tapping your chin you thought for a bit. "Do you think they'd still animate my covers even if I sing a different genre? I want to go with something softer this time instead of a louder peice" "I'm sure they'll animate any song you wish to sing" He chuckles. And sure enough, a week after you posted a cover of Lost Umbrella, ArahatosNumber1Fan posted an animation to go along with it.

Himeko compliments you a lot for your vocal range. In fact, she got you a karaoke machine for your birthday! Of course, though. She doesn't let you use it during night time. She doesn't want to wake up because you decided to start singing Churira Churira Dadada at 3 in the morning.

I do think she prefers you to sing outside the train. While she does enjoying your singing and she has no problem if you were to sing in the train. However she also understands it may disturb many people so she does ask for you to sing in an area where you aren't disturbing anyone.

I feel like she also asks you to teach her how to sing or have a wider vocal range. She enjoys singing herself and would love to join in when you're out singing to keep you company!

Perhaps you two can make money by singing on the streets :> (Only if you're okay with it though!)

You strummed you guitar as the two of you reached the last note, Himeko took a small bow and looked up at the audience that had gathered around. All of them clapping and complimenting your voice. She laughed softly and gently packed up your things so the two of you could get going, checking to see if you were uncomfortable with the attention before she directs you back to the train. As you two entered, Himeko was quick to sit and count the amount of credits that were left in your guitar case, looking up to you she said with a smile. "A success, well done. They loved you" "It wasn't just me singing..." "Perhaps but...I'd say they have their favourites"

When Yanqing overhears you singing Xianzhou lullabys, he's quick to shower you with compliments. Your voice is so soothing! He could listen it for so long and it's effective too. You had to usher him out as he could wake the kids you just put to bed.

When he hears you singing a song like (man I'm running out of songs I know/hj) Noels Lament. He's impressed, how can you sing a song so softly and quietly and then sing something like this which needs a stronger voice??

He might skip a few of his training to find you and see what song you're singing, he makes it a guessing game! Will you be singing something so sweet and kind? Or something that might will make head turn??

"...Yanqing?" "Ha! I guessed right this time" "...Guessed...right?" Ah, you weren't meant to know the guessing game he had in his own head, quickly, he shuffled away. Scratching the back of his head. "Of where you were!" "I always walk in this area" "...I meant...what outfit you'd be wearing?" "I usually wear similar clothes?" ...Yeah, he's running off quickly, hopefully Jing Yuan won't scold him for skipping his training again right? Surely the general can understand he just has to see if his guess was right or not.

Surprisingly (or not surprisingly) Jing Yuan enjoys when you sing your heart out with songs like Candy Store or Mount Rageous. That's the type of sing he first heard you sing when he tried to find Yanqing when he skipped yet another training sessions.

Usually he would just sleep till Yanqing returned or just go on with his day if he never did. In either case, now he joins Yanqing to see what song you're singing before returning back to train.

When he hears you singing a less upbeat song like Sweet Dreams. He's slightly surprised but listens intently, it's different to what he often hears you sing but he enjoys it none the less, he sees your happy so he's fine.

He might even request to hear certain songs just to see how well you voice range can handle it. From the loudest song that could break glass, to a soothing song that can put even the mara struck to bed. And if you successfully sing them all, he congratulates you.

Overall, he's impressed as well as many others, likely talks to you and how well you sing to his friends.

You panted a bit as you finished a particularly long high note, Jing Yuan chuckles and slides over a cup of water which you accept quickly. Taking a drink to sooth your throat. "You voice really can do wonders, I'm more then impressed" He speaks, you nodded in response as he then offers a small treat for agreeing to sing a song for him. A song that made you go from high to low, soft to loud and all in all, tested how wide your voice range can be in a singular song. "I must apologies, I just wished to see how far your voice can go. I should've considered how tired your throat must be from singing that particular song" "No worries, it was fun to read and practice that song. I'm a bit surprised you know it though" "Oh? Are you now?" "Yeah...I mean...the song was released like a month ago and you're kinda a grandp-" "Alright I get it" He chuckled lightly, gently flicking your forehead.

I'm so smart writing Yanqings and JY sleep deprived right?/j Yeah uh they might be OOC, hopefully not thoughejfpgt.

! pairing- ex lee heeseung x male reader

! synopsis: y/n's ex, heeseung, shows up to y/n's fan meeting and ends up rekindling his relationship with y/n.

! word count: 720

! now playing: "I WISH" by lee dongwon: ost of "happy merry ending"

"let's break up."

"what?" he asked, confused.

"i'm tired of our relationship. you deserve someone better than me."

"no. we're not breaking up right now y/n," heeseung said shaking, grabbing y/n's wrist, wanting y/n to take back what he had just said.

"i'm serious. let's break up, heeseung," y/n said, clenching his jaw. he gently let go of heeseung's grip.

tears began to stroll down heeseung's face. he never thought this day would come. but not for y/n. he knew all along this day would come. he began to walk away from heeseung.

"no... don't do this to me, y/n," heeseung begged while y/n walked away.

= = = = = = =

a year passed and y/n had always regretted breaking up with heeseung. but his insecurity got the best of him. he didn't want to be the one getting hurt if heeseung left him, so he left first instead. in reality, that made y/n hurt more than anything. heeseung didn't deserve to be treated like that, but the decision was already made. would heeseung still want y/n after he left him like that?

"alright. that's perfect. we're done recording," the producer said through the small communicator.

"thank you," y/n said, smiling, taking off his headset.

"you did great," his manager said.

"thanks, i couldn't have done it without you hyung," y/n replied.

"no way, i can feel this song is going to be a hit," he said, patting y/n's back.

= = = = = = =

"please welcome mr. y/n!" the mc yelled, welcoming y/n to the stage. everyone in the audience began to clap loudly, excited to hear the new song y/n would release.

"the fans and i have heard that this new song is from your experience," the mc said, beginning to start the show.

"yes, it is," y/n replied.

"could you explain in detail?"

"this song is dedicated to someone i haven't met in a while. they have a special place in my heart," y/n said.

"that's so beautiful. i hope you're able to meet with them again. please give it up for mr. y/n as we start listening to his new song live."

y/n grabbed his mic and began to sing...

"i call your name gently with my lips... before i knew it, my empty day was filled with memories with you...," y/n sang.

"when I close my eyes, when the wind blows, it feels like you're in front of me..."

as y/n continued to sing, he saw a familiar face in the crowd. it was heeseung. y/n couldn't help but to keep making eye contact, expressing how much the song meant to him- how much heeseung meant to him. soon, the fan meet ended and everyone had left. it was just heeseung and y/n left together.

"did you miss me?" heeseung asked y/n, walking towards him with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"i did...," y/n said, embarrassed at the same time.

"i got you flowers. congrats on your new song," heeseung said handing them to y/n.

"thanks... that means a lot to me," y/n said, sorrowfully smiling while looking at the flowers.

"you have something to explain to me, right?" heeseung said, slanting his inner eyebrows.

y/n made eye contact with heeseung again.

"i'm sorry i left you like that... i shouldn't have. i was afraid you'd leave me...," y/n said, his voice shaking and tears forming.

"why would i leave you, y/n?" heeseung said, grabbing y/n's hand.

"i don't know..." y/n said, his nose getting puffy and red.

"i could never," heeseung comfortingly said, hugging y/n and soothing him.

"i'm sorry i couldn't reach out to you sooner," heeseung said.

"why would you be sorry for that," y/n asked, pulling back from the hug to look at heeseung's face.

"because i hated you afterwards. i was frustrated and angry with why you broke up with me. your words... "you deserve someone better than me" made me think. why couldn't you be that person?"

"i'm sorry i said that," y/n said, smiling at heeseung with comfort.

"it's okay..." heeseung replied, looking at y/n's eyes deeply.

"i love you," he said.

"i love you too," y/n answered.

Jungkook X reader

Morning routine

Pairing:Jungkook x fem!reader

Warings:none

Genre:fluff

Synopsis: after a sweet movie night last night you and Jungkook go through your regular morning routine but with a little more fun

A/N: people keep reading my older fanfics that are lowkey shit and it's like...PLEASE READ MY ACTUALLY GOOD STUFF 😭😭😭

Jungkook - morning routine 🎥

You watched the TV glow around the living room swallowed by darkness. Jungkook's head rested on your legs as your fingers strummed through his curly hair. You and Jungkook just finished watching the most recent spider man movie in his living room. The credits started rolling with some of the ost's playing in the background.

"What did you think of that?" You said looking down at the sleepy bunny on your thighs. "Jungkook?" You said as you gently tapped his shoulder.

"Oh, it was pretty good," he opened one of his eyes to look up at you through his long bangs accompanied by a little smirk. He then closed his eyes again before snuggling into you. You spotted a blanket behind you on the back of the couch. It was a soft brown and it contrasted nicely with the Grey couch. You took it and laid it over top of Jungkooks body. As you tucked him in, making sure almost every inch of his body was nice and cozy he opened his eyes. He watched as you treated him like your little baby. You noticed his staring eyes.

"What?" You said with some mysterious pink dust on your cheeks.

"You're so good to me," he said with a loving smile as you sat back up with his head perched on your legs again.

"That's because I love you~" you said, pinching his cheek lightly making him giggle and wiggle around. "Good night babes," you said as you pat his head lightly. His eyes fluttered shut and he snuggled into the blanket.

It wasn't long before you heard snoring from him and you realized the TV was still on. You grabbed a remote and exited out of the movie before shutting the TV off. You found a little foot rest to set your feet on nearby. You bent over Jungkook's sleepy head and pulled over the foot rest. You set your feet on top of it. You laid back against the couch and found yourself drifting asleep alongside Jungkook.

°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○

Your eyes slowly opened to a bright lit living room with Jungkook half falling off the couch. You rubbed your eyes as you remembered last night and basically tried to come back from the dead. You stretched and grabbed your phone. You scrolled through some socials and played a game for a short while before decideding it was time to get up. You gently shook Jungkook and he slowly opened his doe eyes.

"Wakey wakey bunny," you smiled down at him. His face softened when he saw you. He lazily raised a hand to your cheek and patted it. You weren't sure what that really meant but you've gotten used to Jungkooks weird behavior. "I'm gonna go make breakfast,"you said patting his cheek back. He sat up off your legs to let you up. He let out a little groan and assumed that was his way of saying okay.

You got up and just started frying some eggs. Cracking each egg on the side of the counter and listening to the eggs sizzle as they hit the surface of the hot pan. As you chefed them up you felt song arms wrap around your waist. You jumped slightly before sighing.

"Smells yummy," he said in his morning voice as he rubbed his face into the corner of your shoulder. His wavy morning hair tickling your neck and you smiled. Like a motherly smile. The kind of smile a mom gives her kids when they're all playing nicely together.

You finished your underwhelming breakfast and sat down at the kitchen table. Bam came trotting over and sat under the table by your feet. Jungkook sat next to you as he ate your meal as if it were his last day on earth. There was hardly an opportunity to talk to him. Meanwhile you were calmly cutting up your food and eating it piece by piece. You took a deep breath as you watched the fool with all the love in your eyes. Jungkook caught your loving stare and gave you a cute little bunny smile. You laughed at his adorable expression.

"Why are you staring at me?" He said after swallowing his food.

"You're just so perfect," you said with a grin.

"I'm eating like a pig right now. What do you mean?" He said, cocking an eyebrow. You laughed your ass off before shrugging.

"I don't know. You're just you!" You said standing up with your plate in hand. You walked over to the dishwasher as Jungkook's eyes followed your figure. You gestured for him to give you his plate and he waddled over with his plate and utensils. He had a goofy grin on his face as you did these little tasks for him.

You and your boyfriend have a general morning routine. Eat breakfast, brush teeth, brush hair, skin care, and stretch. The rest of the day was pretty much just a whim. Without even saying anything you went to the bathroom as JK waited outside shifting from side to side. Then you traded spots. He went to the washroom as you adjusted the heat pump. After a while you joined him in the bathroom. The two of you brushed your teeth when Jungkook had a great idea.

"We should do that thing where I hold your tooth brush and brush your teeth and you do the same for me!" He said with a smile. You shrugged your shoulders.

"Why not," you giggled as you handed him your toothbrush. He gave you his and you awkwardly brushed his teeth. It was quite the funny feeling and you laughed. It got chaotic quickly. Choking each other, brushing each other's lips, it was so fun for no reason. Jungkook took the tooth brush out of your mouth and rubbed the toothpaste on your nose. "Hey!" You yelped as Jungkook laughed at you. That's when you grabbed some mouthwash and chucked it in his mouth, catching him way off guard. Now it was your turn to laugh at him.

"Alright bring it on!" He said as he tackled you and started coloring your eyebrows with toothpaste. You laughed and squirmed around. You got an elastic from a little jar on a little rack beside the sink and messily tied his hair back with it. After you did that he grabbed a handful of Bobby pins and put them in your hair. You laughed hysterically.

"Why!?" You laughed as you rolled over on the floor. You then noticed some body butter on the side of the sink and you grabbed it. You grabbed a big scoop of it before drawing a smiley face on his forehead. You laughed at how silly he looked. Meanwhile he smiled at you with the most pure in love eyes you've ever seen. He then placed toothpaste kisses all over you. You squirmed around as you laughed saying, "that tickles!" Jungkook stopped and you both let out big sighs.

"We should probably actually get ready now," Jungkook said as he stood up with a big grin. You nodded and washed yourself up.

After the whole bathroom fiasco you and Jungkook did some quick morning stretches in the living room. After that Jungkook did the dishes from last night. Popcorn bowl, some cups and other random things that were thrown in the sink. Meanwhile you were vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom. Jungkook moved onto doing some laundry as you showered.

After all the morning chores you and Jungkook found each other sitting on the couch in the living room. Jungkook placed his Nintendo switch into the TV and you brought yours out to the living room. You sat next to him on the couch and you wrapped a blanket around both of you.

"So this is the plan today?"

"One hundred percent," he said with a grin and a determined head nod.

still screaming and crying ans throwing up over cosmic wheel sisterhood if any a yous reads this n doesnt wanna pick up the game i highly suggest listening to the ost cause damn this shit hits

[daeeeeeb]

the music in rwby

i feel like i could talk about rwby's ost for HOURS. not even like, how the lyrics represent a character and/or their situation (thats a whole other post) but how everyone composing them NEVER MISSES!! every song is just absolute banger after banger ranging from full on songs with vocals by casey lee williams to just scores that are used on the episodes of every volume (that you can just listen to!! and i think that rules.) every song in every volume hits the soft spot in my brain that makes me smile (bmblb from vol4), makes me cry (forever fall from vol6) and gets super fuckin hyped n pumped up (die from vol2, especially the part with casey just full on screaming the lyrics) and to be honest theres a lot of songs in the albums that fit those 3 criterias but those are the ones i could remember as of late i also love how much the casey has evolved as a singer (i've heard that she's been singing for RvB since she was like,6) from vol1 where she was, i think, 12 and her voice was plenty AWESOME to listen to already, then came vol8 and shit went DOWN. the opening kicking off with "we said GOOODBYYEEE" goes so goddamn hard its unreal. every opening in this series goes incredibly CRAZY and its not even funny like every second of the songs in the series are so damn well composed with the catchiest beats and best lyrics ever (specifically lamar hall, he raps so damn fast in big metal shoe, vol6) by the way, jeff HOWLING in some songs he is wonderful, like caffeine (vol2) or the vol3 opening. hell, songs where its just him doing the vocals are incredible too even if there arent that many, like bad luck charm in vol4 orr not fall in love with you in vol3! ill be honest, i dunno who composed what and who did this n that but im ASSUMING most of the guitar parts were just jeff, like the swell and heavy guitar in touch the sky, vol7, that ones gives me summer (not the character) vibes and it slaps. i love the solos sprinkled around the songs as well and im glad to see them still present and incredible as always in the vol9. (RED LIKE ROSES PART 3!! absolute PEAK. i listened to it for like 3 seconds on borrowed earbuds and it felt like heaven on my ears) the whole of volume 9 was incredible too, checkmate is incredible with the flow of the lyrics and the doots and the BASS, oh my god the bass. its really cool knowing martin de lima, from ok goodnight (the band casey sings in!! check them out, i need to listen to more of their songs aswell, awake sounds HEAVY and im all for it) composed some of the scores for vol9 and i hope there'll be more of ok goodnight in future volumes (greenlight vol10) didnt expect to have written so damn much but thats ok. what im saying is : music goes hard, goes cool and makes me happy. hope it makes you happy too :)

(Belated) Tuesday Again No Problem 3/12/24

A day late, oops. (To be fair I had this all typed out yesterday but I forgot to hit publish...)

Listening

Still listening to the Rain World soundtrack incessantly. I feel like there’s usually one or two video game soundtracks that will dominate an entire year of my life, and Rain World’s OST is definitely filling that spot for 2024.

(Someone in the comments of this song pointed out that it sounds like a cover of Dust by M|O|O|N, and they’re right. My god.)

Reading

Fallow. 😔

I keep bringing Ancillary Justice with me to work in the hopes that I’ll be able to find time to read it and then I never do. Perhaps I need to re-think my book reading strategy...

Watching

Speaking of the Rain World ost, I recently watched this video discussing the different music tracks and where they occur in the game (which was pretty interesting because despite listening to the soundtrack so much, I couldn’t remember where a lot of the songs actually played).

I also watched the most recent episode of Journey to the Microcosmos, which is about sea slugs!!!

The video also shouted out a website that I’ve encountered many times while looking for info about sea slugs, seaslugforum.net!!! The forum is no longer active, but the website is still up and all the old posts are still readable. It’s a wonderful little treasure trove of sea slug facts that maintains that more humble mid-2000’s website design.

Playing

Still fallow…

Making

I finished that tote bag I was making for a family member.

It’s meant to be attached to a walker, and it has extra ties on the side to help fasten it. I used this pattern.

I’m also working on my Five Pebbles amigurumi again. I’m almost done, I just need to finish sewing all his parts together (which is admittedly my least favorite part of any amigurumi project). Then I can start working on Looks to the Moon! Moon will hopefully be a bit easier, because making Pebbles was a lot of trial and error- I wasn't following a pattern, and he's also the biggest amigurumi I've made to date, so I had to experiment a bit.

...

Thanks for reading! I'll check in again next week!

[heademptynothoughts]

ok i've had enough time to process post human: nex gen and i think this is one of my favourite bmth albums ever. it's so good and i love the concept.

so song-by-song thoughts below (not including [ost] dreamseeker bc that's just an intro and too short)

youtopia:

the first time i listened to the album i was honestly surprised that this was the first song. it's a lot calmer than i was imagining for the intro into the album. it also has a really hopeful tone which i wasn't expecting. after listening to the whole album though, i think it's the perfect first song. the lead into kool-aid and the rest of the album too turns it from hopeful to sinister, and makes me think that youtopia is actually the cult that’s overarching this whole concept

kool-aid:

fuck i love this song. i think it would be awesome to hear live, especially with the chanting of "is this what you wanted? no! do you want some more? yeah!" it's just so fun

top 10 statues that cried blood:

this is my favourite of the new songs. the chorus is perfection and i will fight anyone who says otherwise. the breakdown is also soooo good. 10/10 no notes

limosine (feat. aurora):

i love the tempo and melody of this. i think aurora's voice blends so well with oli's and her verse is probably my favourite part of the song. the switch up at the end is great too

darkside:

another banger of a song. heart-wrenching lyrics. nothing more to say

a bullet w- my name on (feat. Underoath)

i really love this song too. second favourite of the new ones. i don’t actually know underoath, but holy shit that screaming is awesome. also the lyric “the beat in my chest sounds like a swan song” just hits and the gun shot at the end… oof

[ost] (spi)ritual:

distorted cult chanting with an added "oh shit somone's coming," what more could you want? it's a great lead into n/a too, like were the people chanting also the group meeting?

n/a:

i’m sorry, i know it’s just what people say at n.a. meetings, but i can't hear the beginning without thinking of i'm not a vampire by falling in reverse. it is what it is. more heart-wrenching lyrics. the melody is so fun though. i love the juxtaposition of dark lyrics with a fun melody that makes you wanna jump around

lost:

another chorus i absolutely love. this song just resonates with me, i feel it in my soul. also the breakdown breakdown is top tier. saying “i think i’m gonna breakdown” in the breakdown, hello???

strangers:

heard this one live last summer, so amazing. i love the line “we’re dying to live and we’re living to die”

rip (duskcore remix):

this is such a good hate song, high school me needed this. awesome bridge. and then the lead into amen! with the funeral speech👌

amen! (feat. lil uzi vert, daryl palumbo & glassjaw)

this song goes hard, a heavy banger. also i can’t believe we’ve had the title of the album for a year and didn’t know it. all hail nex gen

[ost] puss-e:

i don’t even care what the deeper meaning of this is, the absolute ridiculousness of one of the only clear audio snippets being “what would you do for puss-e?” is fantastic

die4u:

what do you mean this song has been out for 3 years?? what is time?? also heard this one live and again so amazing. i adore the bridge

dig it:

ending it with probably the most conceptual song of the album. “life is a grave and i dig it.” the lyricism. the glitches and distortions throughout are very smart. and then the minute and a half of absolute silence. i had to check to see if the album was over my first listen bc i knew there was no way that was 7 minutes and i was so confused. m8 has such a cute robot voice (i know that’s not the takeaway here, but it’s my takeaway lol). i think it’s the perfect way to end the album and drives home the post human concept.

Obey Me! Older Brother Music Taste Headcanons

A/N: I'll write for the younger brothers later, but for now, here are the eldest 3! Also, logically speaking, of course the Devildom would have their own artists and stuff. I guess this an 'if they listened to human world music' situation.

Lucifer listens to a bunch of piano covers of video game OST's. It started when he heard MC playing "Your Reality" on the piano for Levi, and then spiraled from there. He has a particular soft spot for DevilCart soundtracks because it reminds him of the rare occasions he does play games with his brothers.

While it's not a DevilCart song, I feel like he'd really enjoy the Mii channel theme. Something about it is just so calming and repetitive and predictable that it makes it really easy to zone out focus on his work.

Also, Lucifer listens to country music. His brothers hate it.

Mammon definitely has the most diverse music taste out of everyone, because he listens based in whether he likes it, not based on genre. He's an Olivia Rodrigo fan. Mammon is a huge swiftie, and will cry to Taylor's songs even if he's never related to them. "Shake it off" is his go-to cheer up song after his brothers have been mean to him. He's also got a few indie game songs in his repertoire (think like, five nights at Freddy's fan songs). He's heard them because of Levi, obviously, and they were catchy, so they stuck. Also, this is very unoriginal, but I love the idea of Mammon and Bruno mars, especially "Treasure".

Levi, like I said earlier, listens to lots of indie game songs. Specifically, lots of FNAF and BATIM songs. I feel like it doesn't matter if he's played the game the song is based on, either. Indie game songs just hit different. He's also a really big fan of The Stupendium, specifically Vending Machine of Love. He's into J-pop (as an otaku) and will adamantly correct anyone who says he's into K-pop. (Which is no one...no one is talking about this-) Sure, he listens to K-pop too, but that's not the point-! And it goes without saying, Levi doesn't listen to 'normie' music. (What do you mean, you found Olivia Rodrigo's entire album on his Deviltunes playlist? Jealousy, Jealousy definitely isn't his most streamed song of all time, what are you talking about?)

5, 12 and 17 from the video game music asks, please!

op jumpscare!!! hello!!!

5: What is a particularly memorable piece?

Dungeon Freakshow from Pizza Tower has permanently taken root in my brain. I haven’t even played pizza tower but I’ve absorbed so much content of it and listened to its ost so many times I might as well have. it’s something about that shrill notes that make up the main motif… AGH. hits all the right spots

12: Share with us some of your favorite lyrics.

You Are Stronger from Persona 5 Strikers is what convinced me to get the game in the first place, so naturally I’ve listened to it a few dozen times!

AND THE CHORUS!!! OH MY GOD THE CHORUS I don’t want to copy paste the whole choir is here so I’ll just pick a part that I really like

The way Lyn sings “Toughest prison to break out of is your mind/ take my hand, join the team/gotta let the dead leaves fall down” just BSBXHHXDBJX N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT ITS SO GOOD EVERY TIME I want to scream these lyrics every time I hear them

17: Favorite boss theme?

noooo don’t make me choose….

Battle on the Big Bridge from Final Fantasy V is just. god. it’s actual musical perfection I think. the pixel remaster took an amazing song and made it actually even better somehow. love it so so much

FAKEVOX

[Plus-Tech Squeeze Box] (2000)

Plus-Tech are a Japanese Picopop trio (They are a trio, not a duo. Wikipedia is WRONG!!!) who are known for their off the wall music and lively sound.

Plus-Tech Squeeze Box's first album, released in 2000. 'FAKEVOX' is all over the place, It's a kid who cant sit still. Full of wonder and life. High-pitched sounds and upbeat melodies are the backbone of this album. If this Album was food it would be a strawberry sundae. It's hyper sweet, cute and feels like a sugar rush.

(also on a side note. I have noticed that Plus-Tech have been featured a lot in British stuff, for example they have been on the BBC quite a few times and featured in a British Coca-Cola ad. Just thought that was interesting....) anyway on with the review.

Track 1: Channel No.17

"What time is it?!"

Plus-Tech really sets the tone of the album with this intro track. You are hit with all sorts of sounds from VOX samples to bowling balls and carnival sounds. It's fast and alive.

Track 2: early RISER

"Bouncy!"

Track 2 is quintessential 2000's hyper J-pop. This song reminds me so much of the Jet-Set Radio OST and I love it. Plus-Tech create super catchy ear worm songs that play on loop in your mind all day. It's so upbeat you can't even be annoyed at it.

Track 3: A Day In The Radio

"I'm a plus-tech girl friend!"

Track three is more vocal based letting Kamada sing. This is another cute song you can't possibly feel mad when listening to.

Track 4: Test Room

"1,2,3,4. Plus-Tech!"

Test Room is a super bright song. It's fast, lively and experimental. The vocal chop in this song carry it a long way. It's just so satisfyingly to listen to lol.

Track 5: rocket coaster

"Rocket coaster! la, la, la, la-la."

Track 5 is Plus-Tech's most popular track for a reason. It's definitely their most accessible song by far for a normal audience. It's got a nice duet going on, a catchy chorus and a light rock instrumental. Really sweet and cute song.

Track 6: Scene1 - launch a spaceship into space →

Track six is an interlude following the space theme of the album.

Track 7: ☆

"Have you ever met a great astronaut?"

Track six takes us right back into the cutesy vibe with an instrumental that wouldn't be out of place on a Frenesi album, especially with those tom drums and pluck-y melody.

Track 8: White Drops 

"fantastic..."

Man, White Drops. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I really do love this song. It's so nostalgic to me. It's so simple yet so affective, It's upbeat, endearing and... idk cozy?

Track 9: MILK TEA

"しまうのさー”

Milk tea is an other nostalgic song for me as I used to listen to it a lot. It's got guitar, synths, vocals and bleeps n bloops. what more can you ask for in a song to be honest?

Track 10: Scene2 - citybilly lived happily after

"BEEEWOOP! FUNNY GUITAR!"

Lots of sounds and a guitar. This song is like if you were at a fair on many, many substances.

Track 11: Sneaker Song!

"Why don't you tell me? hey! you're little rascal!"

Sneaker song goes right back to the hyper sound that the rest of the album follows. Lots of bleeps and gated sounds. This song has more of a pop-rock guitar lean though.

Track 12: ​clover

"いつのまにか降り止んだ雨"

Clover is a great outro because it changes the vibe of the album completely. It is the complete opposite of the rest of the album taking on a more melancholy down-tempo tone. A lot less vocal processing and FX. But the a happy sounding melody comes in creating a bitter sweet end to the album. This song reminds me of looking through old photos. Sad it's over, glad it happened.

Overview: FAKEVOX

FAKEVOX is a great introduction to hyper J-pop and Picopop, if any of this sounds interesting to you I highly recommend this album. It's sugary sweet with a lot of life to it.

Rating: 7.5/10

If there’s any typos or inconsistencies in this review it’s because I can’t be bothered to proof read it.

OST rambling time. You know how it is on this blog sometimes.

Gotta blindside you all today though and not make it about either the HoT or EoD soundtrack but about that one soundtrack that has been OBSESSING me since its game's release in 2014, and that is Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.

This seems to be a general strength of the series (at least the games composed by David Wise) and not necessarily exclusive to DKCTF but the atmosphere of the music is out of this world.

You're playing this game about an ape collecting bananas to defeat a bunch of penguin vikings and the music does have this general upbeat bouncy vibe you'd expect from a colourful platformer but almost every single track has this gutwrenching melancholy touch to it. Sometimes more of a melancholy punch in the face tbh. That mixture is something I've barely ever encountered in any other game soundtrack, at least not executed with such perfection.

There's I think about 100 songs in the soundtrack and not a single one is bad either. I honestly don't know what else to say other than please listen to this soundtrack. In its entirety. It works perfectly as study/work background music as well. Or even better if you are able to, just play the game in general because aside from its great soundtrack it's probably also the platformer with the best level design I've ever seen. Also did I mention the game has dynamic music with variations depending on level progression... T_T

Here's a humble selection of songs to get you started, but please know that there are so many more:

Some fan favourites: Seashore War - The fan favourite. Wing Ding - Personally I love the Zipline version of that song. Amiss Abyss - That one's a tearjerker. When it hits that part. Busted Bayou - A bop.

Some of my favs: Mangrove Cove (Underwater) - My personal favourite. Don't have any words to describe the part starting at 2:09. Might just be my favourite VG song of all time idk I cried when this came on ingame and I'm not proud of it fjnek Fruity Factory - Atmospheeere. Scorch 'n' Torch - That electronic processed brass (whatever instrument?) drop between 0:58-1:00. Irate Eight (Underwater) - I think that's one of the first songs that caught my attention back then. Still one of my favs in the OST. Frozen Frenzy - My favourite level.
