“halloween” by me; a pretentious love letter to a girl finally finding her loveliness in an emptied school

there was a roll call at vacant locker where every corpse that was bleeding with life and every body with a different story that was brought together was like a funeral for the loved or a celebration of the living and each word that was eager to stem from my thought was jumping, dripping as i faked smiles and laughed before a final release of all my struggles which wouldn’t be resolved until we were free of the restrains of people who couldn’t care enough to walk faster than a crawling toddlers speed. it spouted small talk in which you were carefree and i was careful in what i would say before the breath escaped my throat and my thoughts and leapt onto you like a final, fatal contract of one who was too scared to mention things that i had been blooming of weeks before. when you asked if we could stop at the bottom of an incredibly dull staircase i hesitated, not wanting to stop our comforting slow march of a tempered monday. when the words had finally been freed of a twisted tongue, you smiled and laughed in your kind, lovely tone that could compare to a lovebird. 

when i had finally escaped the hallways that were previously shivering with the presence of life but were now empty, i smiled.

and i smiled all the way home.

a couple sketches I did inspired by lyrics from a couple songs from los campesinos! new album (0898 heartache and kms)!! I’m super excited to hear the full thing!!

[willgoldgirlie]

why do ex wilbur stans say everything wilbur did was with malicious intent. ‘HE WAS JUST COPYING FROM LOS CAMPESINOS!’ ‘HE WAS MEAN TO TOMMY ON PURPOSE TO SHOW HOW MUCH BIGGER AND STRONGER HE WAS!’ ‘HE WAS JUST GROOMING TOMMY!’

i’m truly convinced you guys don’t know what child grooming is. child grooming is, by textbook definition, “the action or behavior used to establish an emotional connection with a minor, and sometimes the child’s family, to lower the child’s inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse.” we all know wilbur’s intention was not to sexually abuse tommy. they were good friends.

as for stealing from los campesinos!, that is just not true, and you know it. bands take inspiration from other bands all the time, and no one bats an eye, but lovejoy’s so much different? double standards, maybe?

you guys put wilbur on a pedestal, even when he said NOT TO. you guys did anyway, then found out he’s not this perfect sweet little soft boy who does no wrong, and you guys lost your shit. i find it absolutely humorous watching all of these other dsmp stans get humbled. ‘george would never!!! ❤️❤️’ then he DID. ‘punz would never!!! ❤️❤️’ then he DID. ‘quackity would never!!! ❤️❤️’ THEN HE DID.

nobody is perfect. wilbur is not any different.

you guys refuse to see any of the off putting things in shelby’s story. i want to make it clear that i DO NOT believe wilbur is 100% innocent. he’s still a raging cunt, whether or not he abused anybody. however, shelby’s story is just so… off.

why was she so angry about him not paying for HER plane tickets and HER own catsitter? why did she feel it necessary to laugh about the fact that he was depressed and burnt out? why did she get so angry about the fact that he didn’t want to go out all the time?

shelby’s frustrations about the biting are 100% valid. there is no excuse for that. but as for everything else? why?

‘he only did it for the fame and money, guys!!!’ it’s almost… like… it’s his job…

it just makes me so angry. wilbur did not do everything with ill intentions. stop acting like he did.

HOWEVER, some of you also need to stop acting like wilbur is 100% innocent. he is NOT. he’s not this perfect, innocent soft boy he made himself out to be. you can obviously enjoy him and his content, but stop acting like he didn’t do anything wrong.

late night cuddles with Greg

warnings: it’s basically total fluff, minus greg being rlly insecure (insecure greg truthers rise up), basically all comfort barely any hurt

author’s note: did i plan on writing this? no. did i listen to too much los campesinos and write it anyways? yes.

song inspiration: To Tundra — Los Campesinos

word count: 500

———

Quiet nights with Greg were a must have. Gentle and intimate silence was like a second language to both of you, not even having to be asleep to enjoy the stillness and warmth of it all.

You knew you loved Greg from the time you first kissed, and even though neither of you verbalised it, you sensed it. It was like a prayer running wild throughout each other's brains like wind sweeping over a grassy field. Deep down, Greg didn’t believe how he got someone like you to love him. So he believed all of the soft “i love you”s he repeated in his mind were unreciprocated.

Something changed one night, though. Laying on your own respective sides of the bed, facing each other, your eyes grazed every centimetre of his face, you could’ve drawn him from memory. Greg’s eyes did everything to avoid yours, but how could he resist you? When eye contact was made, you almost spoke on autopilot.

“You’re very handsome, you know.”

He didn’t know, he didn’t believe. Instead of embarrassing himself by going the cocky route, or by sounding like an insecure 15 year old, he just didn’t speak. You moved closer to him, head resting on the first few inches of his pillow, close, but not uncomfortably so. “Seriously. Your nose, your doe eyes, your lips, and your dimples, dear god, I love your dimples. So wonderfully handsome.” You chuckled tiredly, his eyes gained happiness, but with a slight twinge of disbelief and his lips pressed together in a tight smile that looked like you were holding him for ransom.

You moved your head and pushed your lips against his, hand gently resting on a spot somewhere in between his jawline and neck. You pulled apart and didn’t even hesitate to say “I love you.” Greg’s face gained a slightly more genuine light, but a lack of blush, displaying the fact that your love for him was never an unknown thing, just one that wasn’t believed. Possibly, instead of doubting what you say, he could bask in the glory of having the most divine person he’s ever seen, and believed could ever exist.

“I love you too.” He spoke, it rolled off his tongue so easily, considering the phrase was nesting in the back of his throat, waiting to be set free. “I know you don’t believe me, but you’re one of the most fucking beautiful men I’ve ever seen.” It almost made your chest ache saying that. Inevitably, there was nothing you could do to make him believe that, and the knowledge of it pained you.

“I don’t.” He simply responded after a decent bit of hesitation. “I wish you could.” You added, a complete sense of truth behind your voice. “I know.” He tiredly replied.

As you laid on his bare chest, there was a set of glassy eyes watching the top of your head, your lack of movement aside from your rising and falling chest as you slept soothing him.

Maybe he’d start to believe you, at least he’d try.

Played @infamous-if because I just can’t resist music drama, especially duet ex-best friend drama?!? Like! Sign me right the fuck up with that shit! Los Campesinos! is my favorite band, do you have any idea how many songs I can just binge for inspiration? So many! :D

The demo is an absolute delight, I highkey recommend it. All the characters are so charming and it gave me a lot of nostalgia for back when I rped on forums, especially the tour ones. x) <3 It’s a nice vibe to revisit. I can’t wait for more and to make more little angsty singers on the course to ruin their lives~~

But for now, I just have X.O. Kiss. Because I’ve been sitting on that name forever and it’s about time I used it~ I’m still not entirely sold on a band name yet, but maybe The Blue Mondays?? Vonnegut references, ftw?

And here’s some random little tadbits about X.O. because why not?

»» X.O. Kiss is very much xer birth name, suck it haters. I haven’t fully decided on what the initials stand for, mainly because I’m waiting for more parent info. The idea is X.O. parents were ...ah, artsy free-spirits who enjoyed mind-altering substances prior to xer birth, and maybe trip a bit hard with the sky telling them they were destined to birth a beautiful soul named  ✨ Xanadu Opaline ✨  Now. In the nine months between that and actually birthing X.O., did they have a change of heart? Not sure yet. They def kept the XO initials tho. 

»» Said parents stopped the artsy free-spirit thing a few years later anyways. I imagine they’re corporate shills now. If they ended up sticking with Xanadu Opaline, they def gave X.O. a list of new names at like age eight like ‘we fucked up. pick something better. :)’ and X.O. kept Xanadu Out Of Spite.

»» Story says East Coast?? So? Can be from Boston (or the South Shore at least, Quincy? Maybe)???  While xe does love performing, Big Stadiums and Excessive Fame isn’t really xer end goal. But! God, xe would kill a man to perform at Fenway just once. 😍 

»» Just once though, any more is overkill.

»» X.O. is ...honestly weirdly competent? Xe puts out an remarkably cute and airheaded persona when on stage and I imagine when people meet xem off-stage for the first time, they’re super taken back by the monotone and unimpressed little chain-smoker who actually Knows Xer Shit. “It is what it is” is like xer eternal mantra. Not apathetic, just very pragmatic? Orion and xem probably get along decently well (chain-smoking aside).

»» X.O. listened to Heart Swells 100-1 / I Just Sighed. I Just Sighed, Just So You Know arguably too much after the break with Seven. Like they’re both still in xer Yearly Top Ten, near the top. It’s a cacophonic bop, don’t judge xem.

‘Just let me be the one that Keeps track of the moles on your back I just sighed, the universe replied "Let this pass you by" 🎶 

»» Oh! I forgot about A Slow, Slow Death! 😭 😭 😭  Oh god, just imagining like Rowan, Iris or Devyn stopping by xer apartment and hearing A Slow, Slow Death playing and them just dead-stopping like ‘oh no, it’s a Bad Day. o__o;;’ 

You on a lilo Are an island of the Pacific And then me, me, I am face down In a puddle on the High Street I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup

»» X.O. just tends to eat down all xer emotions. Singing is like xer one outlet, so it’s sing or let everything bottle up until it all comes out in a violent torrent of tears and screaming for last all of ten minutes before xe goes back to default settings. So, xe sings.

»» X.O. loves duets and loves singing with other people. It’s a trip and seriously one of xer favorite things. Like, it’s how xe Always pictured xer imaginary band, even in the days before Seven. So having their fans and then rest of the band basically be like ‘okay buuuuuuuuut’ before Logically Rejecting that part of xem? X.O. still hasn’t entirely forgiven anyone involved. Not the fans for suggesting, not the rest of the band for listening, not Seven for leaving and not xemself for ...every other minor and major detail really. It’s not unforgivable, of course, but xe takes rejection a lot harder than xe outwardly projects. So it lingers, underneath everything, like the mildest cold. Always there in just so slightly dampen xer days.

»» “It is what it is.” Xe just sighs.

tick goes the clock

you gnaw at my flesh

my bones are torn apart

my muscle is removed

tick goes the clock

i am gutted of my organs

you replace them with lights

i am your beacon of light

tick goes the clock

you hang me on the post

i rot and shine

this is your creation

tick goes the clock

god i really do love your city gave me asthma. it sounds so homemade — you can hear wilbur laughing at the end of one song, and a discord notification in the background of another. you can hear his influences and inspirations — los campesinos! references, crywank picking patterns. he doesn’t hit every note but it’s okay because you can tell he loves what he’s doing and does it for catharsis, and you feel that. it’s an imperfect, amateur passion project that inspired me and so many others to learn guitar and write music. it finally got me to set my perfectionism aside and say “hey, maybe i could do that.” it’s about wanderlust and loneliness and anger at the systems you live under and the choice to step out of them, the experience of moving away and the internal conflict that goes with it, and it’s so very human. i love ycgma.

hiii just wanted to say that through the many many fic related spotify playlists you have made, you have had by far the most profound impact on my music tastes than anything else I can think of. Portugal the Man, Watsky, Spoon, The National, Cold War Kids, all of the KTOWL character playlists. You also streamlined my listening of Woodkid from "light interest" to "full blown obsession". And frankly I cannot thank you enough for it, so I'll instead just ask, do you have any more recommendations?

i have been wanting forever for an ask like this

i'm gonna put these in some vague categories so you can decide what you're in the mood for

Weird haunting folksy vibes

Fleet Foxes' Crack-Up (melancholic, deep water, forgotten legends)

Andrew Bird's Are You Serious (tho Armchair Apocrypha is my all time fave)

Bruce Peninsula's A Mountain Is A Mouth (their only good album sadly but fuck me its SO GODDAMN GOOD)

The Builders and the Butchers' Salvation is a Deep Dark Well (cannot believe how tight and cohesive this is)

Laura Marling's I Speak Because I Can (she's done other good stuff but this has "Devil's Spoke" so)

A little less alternative with more danceability

Franz Ferdinand's first three albums (the anthem to my own queer awakening when i was younger, my fave is probably still "The Fallen" which had a hand in inspiring the revenant AU)

James Blake's Assume Form but specifically "Where's the Catch?" which has the most incredible verse for Andre 3000 I've ever heard

if you want Karkat-vibes, check out Stars, no specific album bc a lot of their stuff is good, but try our "Fluorescent Light," "Romantic Comedy," "Hold On When You Get Love," "We Don't Want Your Body," and my favorite "Personal"

Gin Wigmore's Gravel & Wine

MGMT's Oracular Spectacular (my god that block of the last three songs is amazing)

Los Campesinos' No Blues (they have a LOT of good albums, this is the easiest to start with imo)

Arc's Weird Faves That Add Up To 90% Of Their Personality

Janelle Monae's Metropolis Suite, especially The Chase and The ArchAndroid. (PLEASE look up the video for "Many Moons" because its my favorite piece of science fiction. I CANNOT overstate how exemplary and unmatched Janelle is. I am just thinking about it and feeling goosebumps.)

Miracle Musical's Hawaii: Part II (there is not a part one really, it's a very strange, magical concept album)

The Mechanisms' The Bifrost Incident (i'm not gonna say anything except this is the only music album i know with a Plot Twist and if you can go into it not knowing the twist, do it)

and finally the most About Me Album that I feel weird even reccing because it's so specific, so interwoven into EVERYTHING I do:

The Klaxon's Myths of the Near Future. I cannot sell you on this album, only that I think if you somehow got a hold of my skull and held it to your ear like a conch shell, you'd hear this.

and i'm gonna stop there bc yeah that's. that's enough for now.

[tonyjalapeno]

okay so los campesinos! have been my top artist on spotify for the past 3 years but this past week all hell has been making me CRAZY crazy... crazier than usual. knawing at the bars of my enclosure crazy. I have been listening to their entire discography in order and on repeat all day every day and ough god my brain is making so many connections. I wanna make a list of my favourite lyrics that I can draw inspiration from for illustrations / tattoo designs. I fear they might all be lyrics with religious imagery or suicidal ideation... so like half of every song. I need a guardian angel bored to death tatted on my thigh. above a row of engraved milk teeth hungry waiting for me. Do you get it.Do you Understand !!!! She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me & SHES TURNING ME TO GOD NO JOKE!!!
