i have this silly thing i like to do where i have playlists for characters i frequently write about. they contain a mixture of in-character songs they'd listen to, songs about their character/personality, and songs relating to their story as a whole

my personal favorite so far HAS to be hikari. there are so many songs that fit him???

full list below //

allies or enemies (the crane wives)

battle cry (the family crest)

battlefield (svrcina)

child of the stars (fish in a birdcage)

curses (the crane wives)

dog days are over (florence + the machines)

don't fall in love with me (tiger hawkins) - for everyone that interprets hikari as having a hard time letting himself be loved

don't save me (chxrlotte) - i'm a bit iffy on this one, but i'll go ahead and list it

fish in a birdcage (...fish in a birdcage)

for the dancing and the dreaming (erutan's cover specifically)

it's ok i wouldn't remember me either (crywank)

just a man (jorge rivera-herrans)

karma (ajr)

lost (fin)

love like you (steven universe)

my love is sick (madds buckley) - i normally see this as more gauged toward hikari/ritsu and the one-sided pain that comes with it

never love an anchor (the crane wives) - another about hikari giving himself a hard time when it comes to love

night watch (naethan apollo)

prophet of pain (ethan jewell) - technically, this is more poetry than a song, but i think it fits regardless

roots (fish in a birdcage)

second child, restless child (the oh hellos)

suffering (amélie farren)

sometimes (nick lutsko)

the family jewels (marina)

the moon will sing (the crane wives)

thus always to tyrants (the oh hellos)

tomorrow we fight (tommee profitt, svrcina)

tongues & teeth (the crane wives) - yet again for those who see hikari struggling with love due to perceiving himself as a danger

toxic thoughts (faith marie)

two birds (regina spektor) - more hikari & ritsu shenanigans

two face (jake daniels) - iffy on this too, but listing it for the time being

wander. wonder. (the arcadian wild)

your light (will morton, julie wemyss)

three of the few songs i feel fit him the best (in no particular order)

--

i believe the lyrics speak for themself;

"watch the stars at night; how they shake against the dark, like firelight."

"oh, i will fight for you. i will die for you. i will die for you."

"feel the years pass by as the weight of time, it shakes; as the earth, it turns and quakes."

"shed your fears, your tears, your pride, and then ramp into the night; ...and i will fight for you."

in my interpretation, the lyrics primarily focus on hikari's cursed bloodline and his relationship with mugen

"i can't break the cycle, am i just a fool?"

"pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end."

"ooh, don't you find it strange? only thing we share is one, last, name."

"did i beat you at your own game? typical of me to put us all to shame."

hikari pushes himself to be better, to be *good* enough, and struggles with his image of self-worth. but this song ends on a more positive note, and i like to imagine that it's him slowly improving

"if this isn't right, then does that mean i failed?"

"the ceiling gets higher and higher, it's harder and harder to shatter; and when i fall, i fall worse than i ever did before."

"evaluating the damage, no, i just don't understand it; conflicted by the very air i breathe, a love with hatred laced between."

"i've lived my whole life afraid, it's time for me to be brave; to embrace a forest that's so dark and unknown."

Thank you to @puzzle-gvf, @ignite-my-fire, & @writingcold for the tag 🖤🖤 I love talking about/sharing music sooo here goes!

rules: put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that come up, then tag 10 people.

(And I’ll be using the playlist I’m using as I write Covet. 😏) There is so much music that heavily influences this story & imo, sounds like it was written to match situations and so many feelings y/n and Jake feel.

…🌊💦 that’s all

This song is so Covet coded omg^

……Jake heartbreak… that’s all I’ll say 😥

I just fucking love Allen Stone & when I hear this version, I imagine good, slow sex w Covet!Jake

AHHH!! It’s insane this came on shuffle…. Considering the entire last part of the last chapter was based off y/n wanting to be at the performance for this song… which led to… mhm.

Because y/n loves groovy music & I’m sure if she were to hear this, she’d think of Jakey (whether she likes it or not hehe) 🖤 (also imagine them slow dancing in the kitchen to this 😭)

This is Jake perspective, but y/n’s music preference

It just makes sense.

This gives Jake pov 🥺

Heartbreak. That is all. (We have plenty more angst to come… *evil, sad laugh*)

Thoughts on Brick Flagg

So, I've seen Brick labelled as a "bully jock" character, usually lumped with characters like Flash Thompson (Spider-Man), Dash Baxter (Danny Phantom), and Brad Morton (American Dragon: Jake Long). However, I don't think Brick deserves to be in that group.

Firstly, we never actually see Brick bully anyone. It's never even implied he does that. Whenever someone's picking on Ron, Brick isn't around. The only time Brick gets aggressive is with Hirotaka, but never anyone else. Truly, that exchange with Hirotaka was out of character for Brick, not the norm.

Secondly, Brick actually seems to like Kim and Ron. He willingly sits with them and talks with them in "Royal Pain" and has had pleasant interactions in other episodes. Brick has never insulted either of them, and doesn't seem interested in doing so. Surely, Brick isn't a mean-spirited guy.

(I also want to mention that when Brick sees bulked-up Ron in "Ron the Man", he seems a little concerned until Ron assures him it's nothing to worry about, at which point he's just supportive.)

Lastly, Brick is actually a sensitive guy. In "All The News" he openly talks about his feelings. He mentions that he was devastated when Amelia dumped him and lost a game because of it. Typical "bully jock" characters don't talk about their feelings, they just beat someone else up to deal with them. But Brick doesn't do that. He opens up to people and talks about his feelings, not beat other people up.

Sure, Brick is definitely lacking in intelligence, as Barkin mentions in "Ill-Suited" that it took him seven years to finish high school, but he's not a bully. He'd be more of the "dumb jock" variety than "bully jock".

He could also fall under the "himbo" category, but I don't think the fandom's ready for that talk yet.

he's literally the defining yuppie jerk. the antagonist of a classic teen movie, he's such a huge asshole. he's super rich, and harasses and bullies the poor kids (especially the main character Andie,, because she rejected him). manipulates and tells Blane that he won't be friends with him anymore if he dates Andie.. and also throws parties in his rich parents' house where it gets trashed, is overall a mean bully and sexist asshole

Brad Morton

Main character's (Jake Long) bully, dated Jake's crush for a time, got that classic bully voice, calls himself "the Bradster"

his name is Brad, calls himself the Bradster, when he got to the front of a line at a kissing booth and the girl turned into a scorpion monster all he said was "Jackpot."

[mariacallous]

The final moments of a convoluted and chaotic 24 hours of political drama that culminated in Liz Truss’s downfall began at about 11.40am on Thursday, when Sir Graham Brady slipped into Downing Street via a back entrance.

The official No 10 narrative was that Truss had instigated the meeting with Brady, the shop steward for backbench Conservative MPs. Few believe that, and even if it was the case, the power balance was much like a bankrupt calling in the administrator as the inevitable loomed.

While the precise details of what Brady told Truss remain opaque, the message was obvious: you have lost the confidence of too many MPs, the chair of the 1922 Committee told her, and if you do not go voluntarily you will be removed.

From that moment on, events travelled at speed, with every development increasing the expectation that the UK was heading towards a fifth Conservative prime minister since 2016.

Shortly before 12.30pm, Thérèse Coffey – Truss’s health secretary, deputy prime minister and close friend – was photographed arriving at No 10. Minutes later, Jake Berry, the Tory party chair, was seen walking, grim-faced and with a phone clamped to his ear, into Downing Street.

Less than an hour later black-uniformed staff carried a lectern outside No 10, and the game was up. Dressed in a royal blue suit, the gloomy expression of recent days supplanted by an uncomfortable half-smile, Truss delivered a statement of just 200 words. She had spoken to the King. A successor would be chosen within a week. She was gone.

Even in the context of the almost absurdly accelerated timescale of Truss’s premiership, how did she and the Conservative party get here given that, just the day before, the main challenge was initially seen as coping with prime minister’s questions?

As with much of the last 45 days, the answer comes down to a small amount of bad luck which is grossly magnified thanks to a toxic combination of cloth-eared party management, ideological tunnel vision and an often astounding tendency towards sheer ineptitude.

The condensed endgame had begun at 4am on Wednesday when Suella Braverman, still then the home secretary, joined the National Crime Agency on a raid in Oxfordshire connected to illicit Channel crossings.

As she returned from the raid in the back of a ministerial car, a presumably sleep-deprived Braverman used her personal email to send a government document about immigration to a supportive Tory backbencher, accidentally copying in the aide of another MP, who informed the whips about what was a serious, if not necessarily career-ending, rule breach.

The result is well documented. Truss called in her home secretary, and after what some reports later described as a standup row, Braverman agreed to resign, albeit with a departure letter dripping with barely coded contempt for the prime minister.

One of the many paradoxes of a truly extraordinary day was that Truss could, even then, probably have survived the loss of a second top minister in five days, at least in the short term.

Yes, many MPs on the right of the Tory party assumed Braverman had been toppled by Jeremy Hunt, who replaced Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor on Friday, but the swift installation of Grant Shapps as home secretary signalled an intent to steady the ship.

Similarly, such had been the endless news wattage of Truss’s administration that the suspension earlier on Wednesday of one of her senior aides, Jason Stein, for alleged negative briefings had passed with relatively little notice.

What proved Truss’s final undoing was, instead, a sequence of events which underlined perhaps her most serious flaw as PM: the tendency to appoint loyalists, cronies and friends to top jobs, irrespective of their apparent abilities.

The challenge facing Wendy Morton, appointed chief whip after enthusiastically backing Truss’s leadership bid, had been dealing with a Labour motion in the Commons which sought to split Tory MPs by offering them the chance of a vote to effectively outlaw fracking.

The first clear error by Morton and her team was to declare on Wednesday morning that this would be a confidence issue, with MPs who failed to back the government at risk of losing the whip.

From this point events rapidly deteriorated, passing through confusion, then chaos and into outright farce. After a string of Tories pledged to rebel nonetheless, a minister stood up in the Commons to say it was not a confidence vote. As MPs lined up to vote, many simply did not know. At least one was in tears.

At various points in the ensuing melee, Morton and her allies badgered or shouted at confused would-be rebels, or according to some reports, physically shoved them into the government lobby.

Morton and her deputy, Craig Whittaker, were widely assumed to have resigned amid the bedlam, until a seven-word No 10 statement at 9.50pm said they had not. At precisely 1.33am, another Downing Street missive said the vote was a confidence issue after all, leading some rebel MPs to publicly question whether they remained Conservative MPs or not.

And all this, it must be remembered, was for a fairly routine if procedurally knotty opposition day motion, one the government ended up winning by a significant margin.

Drinking and gossiping in Strangers’ Bar on Wednesday evening, and by WhatsApp the next day, Tory MPs were in despair at the extent of unforced errors.

One cabinet minister openly blamed Morton for causing the PM’s downfall, albeit with the full complicity of No 10. “Yesterday was appalling mismanagement,” they lamented. “It was a victory with a majority of 96. If the chief whip had not lost the plot over it we would not be in this situation. Confident leaders would have just ignored games by the opposition.”

Another MP was more blunt still: “The whips lied and misled MPs to achieve an outcome on house business. The public deserves answers.”

Hours later, Truss was gone, but there was a sense among many Conservatives that the party’s troubles are only just beginning as it embarks on what could well be an utterly brutal rapid-fire race to discover who will inherit Truss’s policy poison chalice of spooked markets, spending cuts and endless broken promises.

“There is no way the party will be able to agree on one candidate,” one MP said. “We are too far gone.”

For some Tories, worse still was to come: the news that Boris Johnson might join the race. One MP was clear: “If he came back I would immediately defect to the Labour party.” There is, it would seem, much more still to come.
