#im going to brag bc this is a perfect playlist

[shadowscommand]

Could you maybe give us some More Mace headcanons? About him, his relationships, what he likes doing,...etc

yes 🥺 this is perfect bc ive been messing with his playlist lately.

ill start with his music taste which ive already talked a lot about (black metal, various death metal, noise, anything that pushes the boundaries of what constitutes music, and esp any of this thats a rare find. a certified Snob™️) but lately I've really been thinking about the music hed have grown up with and i think hed have a real soft spot for 80s-90s hiphop and r&b. disco, too.

and to add i think hed really dislike songs that are just purely brags about someones monetary worth (but not songs that are about needing money or being protective of what someone Has earned, theres a difference) bc he hates money and rich people. also songs that are really misogynistic. he'll still listen if he enjoys the beat but he will be shaking his head in disapproval (exaggerated. he will not actually shake his head.)

and now I've mentioned him growing up, I've said in the past him going no contact w his family, not bc they were abusive but bc stress amplifies his selfish traits and he just didn't want to make an effort for his family. anyway. nowadays he will speak with family but its still very stunted bc he feels disconnected with his upbringing and life in America. he knows his family doesnt understand this either bc he's pretty extreme in his views.

still for the people around him where hes in his element (probably leading a small group in one of the various pmcs he's joined) he's very easy to get along with. he's excellent at keeping a friendship very surface level for the means of being a good coworker/superior. pretty energetic in his tone at times too im sure hes fun to joke along with.

that said, he really enjoys his boundaries AND. his personal space. he'd never get into anyone's personal bubble without good reason and he would like this courtesy to be extended to him as well. he's an atheist but he does still believe in the golden rule.

i can perfectly picture his phone in the most heavy duty case with the screen protector cracked to fucking hell bc he's careless with it and will toss it across his room to his bed and multiple times overestimated how much power hed need. but it's okay it's like a $50 phone. as long as it charges and takes calls and texts he doesn't care.

Are you a pretty girl? Are you angry...or maybe just a little bored? Do you like to play with your food? This playlist is for you.

For Ashleigh’s Wampus playlist, I decided to choose songs themed around the competition itself, and inspired by BLACKPINK-- so the first half of it is the “pink” sound and the second half is the “black” sound. ;) For the full experience, I’ve linked the KPOP music videos because, well, they’re the best, they’re the mood. Enjoy! 

Ddu-ddu-ddu - BLACKPINK

When we want, we’ll steal outright Whatever you do, it’s like cutting water with a knife Our hands are full of a fat check If you’re curious, fact check My expectations are higher It’s like fish in water I’m a little Toxic You’ve fallen for me, I`m Foxy

Oh wait til’ I do what I do Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du

Let’s start our Melee with this powerful declaration of war from BLACKPINK, America’s #fave girl-crush kpop group. This entire song is all about that girl-power, which introduces the theme of Ashleigh’s playlist. I also like that it flows very smoothly between hard-hitting rapping and some melodic pre-chorus sections, two whiplash moods that will be reflected here in this playlist. One of my favorite lines comes in the pre-chorus: “I only smile for myself.” In the end, even if she and Corny do win, she’ll be doing it one hundred percent for Ashleigh and Ashleigh only.

Cannibal - Kesha

I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood Carnivore, animal, I am a Cannibal I eat boys up, you better run

Keeping the beat pumping, this song speaks to the raw animalistic power of the Wampus in a pretty literal fashion. I don’t really know what else to say because I feel like Kesha’s really got it covered, in her embrace of her physical and sexual appetite. For Ashleigh, this appetite translates to the thirst for battle and her hunger for victory. So watch out other champions-- she’ll attacc and turn u into snacc

Icy - ITZY

What can I do though I seem cold? I don't care what you think because I'm cool oh, oh, oh Come on With confidence let it go (Here we go) Marching on the streets (On a roll) Background music where I be Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb

Icy but I'm on fire A dream inside me, I'm confident Look at me, I'm not a liar I don't want to be put in your box (Dance)

I picked this song because its fun, erratic, percussive-- basically one big wink emoji to me, which you hear in every interesting sound in this song (you have like, three different types of drums, a cash register sound, the sound of glass breaking??, some cellphone noises??). The attitude of this song tells you that Ashleigh does not give a single fuck, and the lyrics reflect that: “They keep talking/I keep walking.” It’s also about embracing a flaw and turning it into a strength-- some people call her ‘icy’ but she says that makes her ‘cool.’  I also love the fun drum break-down in the middle of the song right before the bridge, which feels like Ashleigh flaunting everything that she’s got.

Birthday- SOMI

Oops, you're not invited Yeah, you're not invited Oops, you're not invited I'm gonna do what I want today Everyday is my birthday

Honestly, half of the reason I included this is because the lead in from ICY to Birthday is so smooth and fun.

But yeah! Another song about celebrating yourself, literally. It feels appropriate for a playlist themed around the melee for there to be a song announcing that its Ashleigh’s birthday. In my opinion, that’s basically her way of saying that this championship is really just about her and the rest of y’all are just bystanders, thank you.

also the brass at the end omfsalkgjadf

When I Rule the World - Liz

When I rule the world, then I'm gonna make you sweat Dog collar 'round your neck, on your knees and scrub the deck Oh there's a spot over there so I'll drag you by the hair So scrub it, rub it, whip it, dry it, 'til I tell you to stop When I'm on the throne, it's a total freak zone You can call me mommy and I'll throw a dog a bone Better bite on that bone, or you're never going home So bite it, break it, hit it, lick it, 'til I tell you to stop

Obviously, this is Ashleigh already basking in her inevitable victory. I like that the lyrics infantilize her audience while also leaning into that infantilization-- the high feminine “baby” voice, for example. The instrumental reflects that with its bright, bubbly songs, though there’s a dark undercurrent that draws from dubstep.

Also, shoutout to this line-- “I can be your daddy and you're gonna make me proud.” Please someone call Ashleigh Daddy.

Boo! Bitch - Kim Petras

No lyrics for this one, but we’re continuing our EDM thread here. I love all the dark beats and samples in this mini little dance-break as we move into the second half of our playlist. While the first half is more playful-- speaking to Ashleigh’s performance of the rich, mean girl-- I like to think the second half takes the competition more seriously. She’s not just pretty, she’s deadly.

disco tits - tove lo

I'm sweatin' from head to toe I'm wet through all my clothes I'm fully charged, nipples are hard Ready to go (oh, oh) I'm sweatin' from head to toe I'm wet through all my clothes (yeah) I'm fully charged, nipples are hard Ready to go

This could technically be interpreted as a pretty straightforward song about sex, but for Ashleigh competition is sex. Winning is better than any orgasm. The entire song has lots of gritty dark synths too and that’s the vibe we’re going for people.  

Bad guy - billie eilish

So you're a tough guy Like it really rough guy Just can't get enough guy Chest always so puffed guy I'm that bad type Make your mama sad type Make your girlfriend mad tight Might seduce your dad type I'm the bad guy, duh

I would include this classic billie eilish song for the “duh” alone. Billie Eilish is THE Ashleigh musician who is surprised, no one. Anyway, this whole song is the exact mood I’m going for here. I love Billie’s seductive whisper, the distortion on her confessed “I’m the bad guy” as though the demon is about to rip through. The ending also reminds me of those scenes in horror movies where the possessed person’s limbs start to distort and go every which way.

Mother’s Daughter - Miley Cyrus

Hallelujah, I'm a freak I'm a freak, hallelujah Every day of the week I'ma do ya Like I want to I'm a Nile Crocodile, a Piranha Oh my God, she got the power Oh, look at her, she got the power So-so, so don't fuck with my freedom I came back to get me some I'm nasty, I'm evil Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter

I love how this song also starts off gritty, like metal scraping against metal. I’m also big on the animal themes as I’m sure people have noticed, but I think that plays into that #wampus beast energy. Finally, this song is a really nice allusion to Wampus Ashleigh’s veela heritage on the downlow. Though she’d never be open about it, veelas are female, and so her true mother would inevitably be a full veela, as fierce and dangerous as the myths suggest. So this song is a cool nod to that and Ashleigh’s inhuman side.

Play destroy - Poppy

Poppy, I'm dying It's a Hollywood moment Destroy, destroy, destroy Destroy, destroy, destroy It's time to die Uh! This is how we play destroy, destroy

Now let’s ramp it all the way up! This song is vicious and creepy, from the hard metal rock orchestration to Poppy’s soft, girly vocals. I LOVE the “It’s a Hollywood moment” lyric because it’s like something out of a horror movie when one of those creepy dolls come to life. So this song is definitely building to the climax of the competition as Ashleigh revels in the violence, the blood, the pain.

Kill this Love - BLACKPINK

Feelin' like a sinner It's so fire with him I go boo, hoo He said "you look crazy" Thank you baby I owe it all to you Got me all messed up His love is my favorite But you plus me Sadly can be dangerous

Ending off our playlist, we must, yes, literally kill this love. It’s about ending a relationship but I’m interpreting it as the murdering of all your soft emotions and your weaknesses. It’s time to get down to business and finish off this game. Plus ugh-- the sirens! The marching! The air horns! That ending goes from 50 to 25000 and that’s how any Wampus ends her victims: not with a whimper, but a bang.

If you haven’t done it already, ship your moots ! <3

ooo omg omg okay !! lmk if i forgot anyone <3

@katsdni + shinsou — they just match you know. he 100% is such a ridiculous blushy mess for her and they’re both just the epitome of cozy couple vibes. also?? they both swap sweaters every now and then and they’re closets are just basically a fusion of their styles.

@katsucookie + midoriya — RAHHH CUTEST PAIR IN THE WORLD, it’s very much (oblivious) friends to lovers because they’re both blind to each other’s feelings but when they do realize they’re the cutest ever? definitely the smartest pair ever too

@lilsparkyswife + bakugou — no bc von would be the only one to calm his ass down and sass him around like it’s nothing. she probably makes fun of his fashion sense and he’s just like ╰（‵□′）╯ but it’s so endearing?? also he’s probably the clingy one in the relationship JEJSJJE

@luvmojii + asahi — she braids his hair and takes him on camping trips and he’s just like :) ‘i love her :)’ so many soft vibes AND YET she’s also the one blasting mother mother and he’ll always give her back the exact same energy every single time, he feels at comfort with her.

@planetoru + bokuto — ENERGY BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS, they both replicate enthusiasm so much. em is there if bokuto is ever feeling down and vice versa. also i feel like they would have good communication skills so not too many fights as well? yeah :) they’re the super fun couple !!

@prince-kags + midoriya — chaos nerds. they would geek over so many things together and always hear each other’s rambles out. also both are so scarily smart and hardworking so they both work theirselves to the bone, but nag the other to take care of their self and that’s just. how they end up surviving. because the other keeps getting them to care of themselves despite it all.

@avis-writeshq + denki/nishinoya — once again, THEY ARE THE HYPE COUPLEEE !! they’re fun, chill, and you just wanna hang out with them. noya saw you around the school once and he was like i am in love <3 no one perceive me <3 AND JUST HH SO CUTE <3

@aelbedo + lev — YELLS WHAT DID I SAYYY, he just loves you so much <3 he would think you’re intimidated by him bc you’re quiet around him at first but he thinks you’re so pretty so he’s like ヽ( `д´*)ノ I MUST CONVINCE THEM I AM FRIENDLY and so he tries his very hardest and he’s oh so clumsy around you, but from then you hit off <3 also definitely listens to you ramble about video games even if he has no clue what’s going on

@nicira + itadori — MIRA IS DOTES ON HIM SMMM and he’s just so cheesy and loves her so much? like you can tell he loves her so much because she’s all he talks about. probably gave sukuna every living detail about her too. they’re both just super in love w each other <3

@m1s0-s0up + hawks — YELLS CHAOS ONCE MORE, they wreak havoc but they still care about each other sm. he absolutely spoils her and is just like ‘mm yeah that’s my rumi’ all smug n stuff >:)

@mattsunbae + atsumu — dude these two probably roast the shit out of people together JSJSJWJ #GiveOsamuABreak2K21, before atsumu does a serve he always looks in the crowd to find her and do his dorky hand fist thingy, they’re like the best friend couple yk yk

@weebybermuda + ushijima — 100% he will listen to anything bermuda talks about bc this mf is so whipped. literally so in luv w her and even though he always looks like 😐 inside hes just ‘aAAHHHhaauiHHJ SHE <3’ also he probably talks about her to tendou all the time JSJDJSN

@bukojuiice + todoroki — the puts her emotions on a sleeve and doesn’t express his emotions pair. julie is like his soft cottagecore gf and you can visibly see the softness and care shoto holds for her.

@lovelytarou + inumaki — if you can’t find one of them chances are they’re with the other. they’re always just near each other, and inumaki always has a hand on her. since he can’t talk, he always displays his affection with light touches to show that he loves franz dearly :)

@ch0s0 + choso — they give pinterest couple vibes tbh, theyre super casual and just fun to be with all around tbh, he definitely makes playlists for her because that’s the best way he can show his affection without saying it and goes out of his way to get her embroidery supplies even if he ends up getting the wrong things AJSJJS

@pockydays + kuroo — mmm they fit each other so well. kuroo definitely has heart eyes for her, and silla is just like tossing him bad puns and he’s giving her those bad science puns JSJSSJ and they’re just perfect for each other?? they’re always teasing each other as well LMAO

@denji-core + yamaguchi — they understand each other so well! they probably met during class, maybe they were passing notes to each other and just instantly hit it off. it took them a while to actually get together, but once they were they were always with each other. comfort couple <3
