Typing the lyrics of every tally hall/miracle musical song:

-Good Day:

I'd like to say hello and welcome you, good day, that is my name Come here and sit down, I'm so glad you even really truly came We can even go and take a walk or something like that or something like that But first, I need to introduce my what and introduce my when

Let us sing! (Ah, ah-ah)

Its name I like to call, it likes to say it's nothing (it's nothing, it's nothing) It lives and breathes, and it insists that, it insists (whoo!) that it is something (it's something) It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat

Looking through glass eyes, give it a few tries Nothing goes right in its time Kill all its bad dreams, wonder 'bout no things Circles and spirals in mind

But we know that this song is not about a no or yes or why What's really truly what I say is that about a little sigh (ah-ah) So come along, I think I'm done, I think we're done, yes this is done What's truly that I think about it, and it thinks about a ton

Na, na, na, na-na-na Let us sing! (Ah, ah-ah)

Looking through glass eyes, give it a few tries Nothing goes right in its time Kill all its bad dreams, wonder 'bout no things Circles and spirals in mind

I thought you knew I knew but Why and by and why and by and by I wanted you to know I thought you knew, but why and by and why

Everyone loves a potato monkey (I stepped on gum! I stepped on gum! Ho-ho-ho!)

Let us sing, let us sing Let us sing, let us sing Let us sing, let us sing Let us sing, let us sing Let us sing, let us sing (birds and bees and television) Let us sing, let us sing (cardboard houses, x-ray vision) Let us sing, let us sing (many little silly rhymes) Let us sing, let us sing (things forgotten lost their time) Let us sing, let us sing (telephones and silly games) (Periods and lots of question marks) let us sing -Greener:

Here's that part again where everything's more than it should be And greener seems to fall beneath your feet Seconds tick like boulders whenever you don't call Does it seem like that where you are? Wherever it is you are Does it seem like that where you are? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Time for time together, and depending on the weather We'll either argue in your house or outside How different I felt, before I got this notch on my belt 'Cause in my plans, you were all for me Yeah, but now it seems that you'd just rather leave

Wherever you go is breaking me slowly Don't leave it alone, don't leave it alone You sound so much further on the phone! You fit just right, right next to me But there's always a reason why it can't be

Telephones make you seem miles away from home All alone, I get a little meaner I leave a message at your tone And miles away from home You get a little cleaner of me And I find a little greener shade of envy

Wherever you are is breaking my heart Don't leave it alone, don't leave it alone! You fit just right, right next to me

-Welcome to Tally Hall:

"Welcome to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum Known from coast to coast like butter and toast From headlines to bedlines From school rooms to pool rooms No other place in the contiguous United States Or other environments of the world Welcome"

Can I get a T? (T) And if you hit me with the A-L-L-Y Then you'd see why The Hall is here for y'all The mini mall is calling us all in So kids pack up your mom's car Back up the Windstar Kick it in drive and arrive at the mega mart Slide the side hatch with pride 'cause your ties match On booty duty like your name was Eddy Thatch

W-W-T-H-D We like to kick it at the university But all work and no play makes us crazy So, we jump in the bumping SUV Hit the street get the sweet tunes on Do a donut on your mama's front lawn And sooner than you know You've found the rock 'n' roll show At the Tizzy Hizzy we'll be gone

We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall

The automated players, I proclaim Yellow tie, this suave fellow writes Heterophonic tunes of how love bites Red the proud loud guy we adore (Is my amp too high?) No, turn it up more So Grey in the back sipping 'gnac can hear He's knocking down the shots like Bill Laimbeer Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys To unlock the rock in the act, if you please Now open the gates Give Blue the bass And jiggle your badiggle all over the place

We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall

Can I get a click Flick off the switch And we'll ignite the night in pitch Sing songs you like to hear And the world will disappear Then we'll be glowing in the dark Lighting up the park Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please With unpredictable games and antiquities The collectables so delectable The unreliable style's undetectable

Like I might rap like an English chap Take you by the knickers and I'll bum your slap You didn't think we had the gall Well bloody welcome to Tally Hall

We're stereosonic We're animatronic We're rocking with the robo-electronic Ebonics A quick distraction A mechanic attraction Got a penny in your pocket for the slot Rock

Hey ho, don't you know It's a good old-fashioned puppet show That's right quite the set We're the marionette quintet

We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand (Woo)

We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall

We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand -Taken for a Ride:

Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly am I happy, is this happy Following the footsteps left by man he stepped to reprimand the mystic who's sadistic Took a step into the elevator who said guess I'll see you later, don't you worry Fifteen flights that lasted nights and days that spent without a cent for creatures with their beat shirts

Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill

Next the stranded senate of the white brick house with flowers asked some questions for their story All feeling now he took his bow and left the stage of time with no answers to no questions Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling to implode them before living Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said now take your place in line for happy, this is lovely

Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill

One secondary smile To go that extra mile To make me feel today To make it go away The chemistry is gone Taken for a ride Far away from you No longer left inside

The actor with his world renowned was thinking ‘bout his last real day of silence, was it over Or is it just we all think that our answer isn't real it's just a picture of a letter Bumble mumble make the rounds no matter what you'll seem profound it's useless just to worry Something normal happens somewhere far away in clouds so please stop thinking this is happy

Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill

One secondary smile To go that extra mile To make me feel today To make it go away The chemistry is gone Taken for a ride Far away from you No longer left inside

There're no secrets in the door Just a moment doing chores And there's something And there's something And there's something And there's something next to nothing And there's something And there's something But you're gone -The Bidding:

I've been sleeping in a cardboard box Spending every dollar at the liquor shop And even though I know I haven't got a lot I'll try to give you love until the day you drop

I've been training like a Pavlov dog Let my independence out to take a hike All you got to do is activate my bell And I'll fetch you anything you like

Going once, going twice Every man here has a price Over where? Over there, sold To not a single lady in here

I've been in like a thousand times Dated every woman in the atmosphere I've been to every continent Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent Just remember not to love me when I disa-

I graduated at the top I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie So if you have a fantasy of being a queen Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me

Going once, going twice Won't these gentlemen suffice Any here? Any there? Any motions anywhere? Going twice going thrice Guess this means we'll go four times a lady

I promise I'll be all you'll need, ever need You'll never have to shop around (don't shop around) And I'll give you all you'll ever need, ever need Don't worry I will never let you down, let you down Don't worry I will never let you down

So many ladies are wanting for mates And the prospects are good but the date's never great Over here over there over where? Anywhere They're too busy with winning the bidding to care And he's sold -Be Born:

I suppose you're quite content in your swimming pool All you pink-skinned babes are the same And you can't stay forever young So get out here and see the sun You're only six inches away from becoming one

I was in your shoes before, or lack thereof And things worked out for me There's a dozen people here, and they're waiting for you It's your party, you can cry if you want to

What if I told you I could show you something? What if I told you I could make you live? Follow my instruction, swim in the direction Of my voice, hear my voice Of my voice, hear my voice

You think that you've seen it all in your little ball But, man, you're wrong and she's been waiting Long and hard to kiss your head and hold your hands And hold you while you fall asleep, and

What if I told you I could show you something? What if I told you I could make you live? Follow my instruction, swim in the direction Of my voice, hear my voice Of my voice, hear my voice

Ba, ba-da-ba Ba, ba-da-ba, ba-ee-ah Ba, ba-da-ba Ba, ba-da-ba, ba-ee-ah

What if I told you I could show you something? What if I told you I could make you live? Follow my instruction, swim in the direction Of my voice, hear my voice Of my voice, hear my voice -Banana Man:

Ladies and gentlemen, Colonel PT Chester Whitmore is proud to present Bung Vulchungo and the Zimbabwe Songbirds

Do you see banana man Hopping over on the white hot sand Here he come with some for me Freshly taken from banana tree (one, two, three, four)

Banana man me want a ton Give me double and a bonus one Give me more for all me friends This banana flow never end

Do you want a banana? Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? This banana for you

Tonight we dance around the flame Then we get to play the spirit game Spirit names we shout out loud Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud All the songbirds in the tree Chant a tune to let the spirits free Then we see them in the night Spirits jumpin' by the fire light

Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana) This banana for you

Look you, you're too uptight you know You can laugh and kick it back and go (we) But without a rhythm or a rhyme You do not banana all the time Fly away from city on the run Try to make a little fun

Look you come to the bungalow African't you tell me don't you so Don't you love the bumping of the drum Make you shake until the bum go numb Let the bongo play until you drop This banana never stop (never stop, never stop)

Forget all your troubles and go with the flow Forget about whatever you may never know Like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should And whether anything you do is every really any good And then forget about banana when it sticks in your throat And when they make you want to bellow but you're stuck in a choke And you forget about the yellow from the beckoning man He'll make you take another and make a mock of your plan

Bungalay bungalo make up your mind and tell me no umm shh

Well it's nine o'clock and it's getting dark And the sun is falling from the sky I've never left so early and you may wonder why

Tomorrow morning on the plane No banana make you go insane Floating back to busy town No banana make you want to frown

Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? This banana for you -Just Apathy:

I'm too much or not enough Maybe everyone else is messed up Well, anyway, I can't seem to stay in just one state of mind Waiting round for something better I'm the one that wouldn't let her Now I'm back and forth, I get bored when she's no perfect find

'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down 'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother Something I just can't get around

Consider the possibility that you've been had, but not by me We're just kids, don't worry about this My course is run and I'm so tired, until the next one comes inspired I feel bad and I should I made her sad and I knew it would

'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down 'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother Something I just can't get around

I need to learn to wait in turn 'Cause now I just step blindly And I'm only happy when I can close my eyes and I just dive in And forget about about acting kindly

'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down 'Cause it's one thing or another I don't even know why I bother Something I just can't get around

But still, I know you won't let me down -Spring and a Storm:

One time, I tried to sing About spring and a storm But you know How it goes

Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah All along

Won't you please stop complaining I'm playing a song

But all the rain comes down the same Falling to from where it came On the ground then back around Up in the sky

I wish you could have heard the music When the clouds growled overhead I finally felt enthusiastic I finally felt alive

Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah So you said

Would it please you to listen To thunder instead

Man the rain came down that day And it drained my soul away And I wondered why I even Bothered to try

Mr. Moon (yeah?) Tell us about the sky

The sky is deep and dark and eternally high Many people think that's where you go when you die

Do you?

Well, I think you return to obscure Or wherever you were Before you were But I won't let you lose yourself In the rain

We have so much left to sing There's a storm for every spring All you see and you and me Became from a star

You're a star You're a star You're a star You're a star You're a star Yes, you are

Silent explosive and Silent explosive and Silent explosive and Silent explosive and

Create until nothing is left to create and The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then Over and over and over again and then Over and over and Never again -Two Wuv:

I have this little thing It's probably just a fling Two girls I like a lot I think they're really hot But I'm not sure if they know How my love began to grow It took a lot of time But right now, it's solely mine

Today! I drew a mural of The things I'd like to love And where my heart resides Is with two girls with great eyes

If they just gave me a chance I'd show them what they want And teach 'em what they got I'd tickle each and every one of their fancies And I'd take the key to my heart And open it, and let the love shine through

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school Mary-Kate!

I saw you on TV You're dressed up like a bee Reminds me of the time How it's gone, and it's gone, and it's gone It's sadness every day that passes without you And I really wanna, really wanna, really wanna hold you both tight And tell you you're mine, but instead I sing

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school

Hello? (Hello?) Hello? Hey, I'm calling from Tally Hall (wait, say that again, slowly) What? Hello? (Hello?) Hey, I'm calling from Tally Hall and I just-

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school

I know that life without you and you would be sad And I know it'd be bad

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That your loveliness blossomed and I wanna hold your hands And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled into your school

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school

Mary-Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool- -Haiku:

I have been trying To write a haiku for you Some things I just can't do

Maybe you're beyond Ancient Asian poetry Or maybe it's just me

I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you, alright I'm through!

Maybe this poem Was lost in the sauce we spilled That never got refilled I've never thought much Of formulaic verse anyway And rhymes are not my fort!

I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you, alright I'm through!

I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight

La da dee diddum Lada da dum doo diddle Dum doo la dee do

There, that's sufficient! I wrote a haiku for you! Well, I tried at least And that's not so bad I'm working here Can that be said for you?

I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight

Words don't work like Webster says They trip me up all night I'm just trying to write for you But you're hard to write down right! -The Whole World and You:

There's lots of pretty people here Sharing stories and passing letters and There's lots of questions answered and Metaphysical astronomical songs Worth printing all on papers That seemed too mystical It's so magical People that dance and compute that No one's better then you

La la la La la la La la la La la la

There's kings in distant cities Who rule their persons and Make them happy and We won't forget about all the servisory congratulatory Even the animals know that something's brewing And they're all cooing 'Cause in the end I'd like to say No one's better than you

I hope you're happy now I've revealed the truth I've even written this whole song about you And not about me And not about me

Please don't just laugh and clap right now This is serious I'm not delirious I've waited very patiently Just to let you know Who should run the show 'Cause we all know these are the facts Nothing to retract Nothing too abstract

Concluding in the song I'll say that No one's better than you No one's better than you No one's better than You -13: bWAAwaAAwaAAAaaa BWAAaaaWA (Ahhhh) BWAAAAA, bWAaa bwaaa bwa bwaa ba -Ruler of Everything:

Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend

In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the billows even over the sun Every end of the time is another begun

You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything in the end

Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants Consequential enough to slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric

You practice your mannerisms into the wall If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill)

I've been you, I know you, your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene Oh, no, no, oh yeah

Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool, although you're only a man So give it up and smile

Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool although you're only a man So give it up and smile

You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything In the end

Without looking down, gliding around Like a bumbling dragon, I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh, no, no, oh, yeah -Hidden in the Sand:

We were playing in the sand And you found a little band You told me you fell in love with it Hadn't gone as I'd planned

When you had to bid adieu (ooh, ooh, ooh) Said you'd never love anew (ooh, ooh, ooh) I wondered if I could hold it And fall in love with it too

You told me to buy a pony But all I wanted was you

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) -Mucka Blucka:

Woke up today with the lay of the land Feather in cap and the sun in the sand It was easy, it was easy to understand Everything suddenly falls out of sight Every attachment is made of the light That you offered, you have offered to give me life

See the sky and all the land together again See the way the earth can stay below Who do we think we are? Everything plays a part There are some things we are never meant to know

Having enjoyed all the meat from the bone Is perfectly equal to being alone It was even, but you breathe and I turn to stone Everything suddenly looks like a sign Easy to see from the outermost clime I believe in what I leave in the way behind

See the sky and all the land together again See the way the earth can stay below Who do we think we are? Everything plays a part There are some things we are never meant to know

And all the parts combine to one And all of us around the sun Everything will fall away To order from the disarray See the sun the shadows cast From all the times I floated past See the ocean spinning out With all the hope and all the doubt

See the sky and all the land together again See the way the earth can stay below Who do we think we are? Everything plays a part There are some things we don't understand Reasons on the other hand There are some things we are never meant to know -&:

Weak & strong & Wet & dry & Right & wrong & Live & die & Sane & gone & Love & not & All the &s that we forgot so

Big bad Betty of the 'pocalypse She opens her lips and it goes like this When the golden rule and the jungle meet There'll be nothing to love and there'll be no one to beat

Oh, the things we know, the things we don't Oh, the things we think, we can, will and won't We're loathed together and nothing's left We're all together and we're all bereft

Capitalist, communist You did the hokey pokey and it went like this You hate each other and you love yourselves It might be heaven and it might be hell

Oh, the things we do, the things we say Oh, the things we wish we could wash away -You & Me:

Starting on the road Carefully unload Open-eyed and all the light is falling Back and forth And I concede of course Maybe I am in the way recalling

It's just you

Off again we go Another seed to sow Another part to keep in proper order What have I begun? Get away undone I have seen the signs and I ignored them

Now it's you and me Divine, a circular design Do-do-do-do-doo Time, and place in mind Points along the line Do-do-do-do-doo

Sitting in the park I carefully remark "Everything is better when you're learning" You were in the dark And I was in the dark Everything is made to keep on turning

It's just you and me Divine, a circular design Do-do-do-do-doo Time, and place in mind Points along the line Do-do-do-do-doo You and me Return to be In orbit all the time

You turn away and around I've been coming down I've been coming down You turn away and around I've been coming down I've been coming down You turn away and around I've been coming down I've been coming down You turn away and around I've been coming down I've been coming down -Cannibal:

Looking for a cavern A place where she can stay Waiting for the darkness When she leaves obsessed to make her way to me Because it's getting to the time when she will need to feed

And I am the willing victim of a cannibal She rips out my bones just like I'm an animal And right when I'm feeling like my blood is drained She calls it a game But the wound that she leaves is unmistakable

I'm not the only one that she has come to see Dig up the skeletons of men who thought that they would be the one like me Like they could be the ones to make her believe But for now

I am the willing victim of a cannibal She rips out my bones just like I'm an animal And right when I'm feeling like my blood is drained She calls it a game But the wound that she leaves is unmistakable

Hiding in corners, disguised She's a phantom, a glimmer inside She keeps on feeding while I am conceding So please, won't you tear me open wide?

You were the chosen appointment to be who you are I have been sitting and waiting and hoping apart You are insight in the air, in the night, in the airplane I am a light in the city your flight overcame

How is it all of the people can know who you are? Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark I see you Not too far

Maybe there's something to being the one who you are Holding the thoughts in as you pull away in your car I get to thinking a little too often and All that I want is a little aloft and Maybe it's all too much thinking and not enough heart

How is it all of the people can know who you are? Off in the distance emitting a glow in the dark All of it subtle and all of it very bizarre How is it all of the people can know who you are? I see you Not too far

Armed to the teeth You will sit at the fireside We are the ones who have chosen the other side It was easy to see You were ready to be And it all falls down

You rose up And rode away underground Alone, us Finding our way to found You rose up And rode away underground Alone, us Finding our way to found Dark, I see you Not too far -Sacred Beast:

We live in the service of the king Almighty in control of everything As the queen decides who lives and dies Tonight we will sing

Love was never more than going Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, easiest thing

Our mission is to slay the sacred beast Who has come to claim our innocence at least And though those who went before us won't return For the feast

We'll be riding high and going Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm-hm

Worst of all it knows its only truth is made of lies Wanting for aught and ever-wise So there will need to be a compromise Easier to close our eyes See the other sides of our disguise

We thought we had found a separate peace Thought all our pain had finally been released But as long as it's alive we'll never rest In one piece

Meanwhile, may it join in going Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmh-hmm, hmm-hm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hm-hmm-hmm -Hymn for a Scarecrow:

You hang around for a living Somewhere between all the land and the sky Being by never forgiving Nobody knows you and neither do I

Birds may believe at a distance You wear a grin and keep perfectly still Driven away with persistence I wonder if they have wondered or will ever wonder Ever wonder

Farmer Jim hums when he's all alone He may imagine you heard and he knew You wouldn't hear what he might have known I wonder whether he wonders if you ever wonder Ever wonder

Oh, scarecrow Maybe the wind knows Whether you wonder Who's calling your name

Scarecrow Maybe the wind knows Whether you wonder If you are to blame

Mother Earth's love whispered to me (and it wasn't her fault) Real is a feeling and feeling is real All of you are flowing through me But you wouldn't know how to fathom or feel

When the wind blows The wind knows The wind knows

Oh, scarecrow Maybe the wind knows Whether you wonder Who's calling your name

Shame how nobody knows you Only who wonders if you are to blame

Saving the grain of your golden domain Without even reasoning why The crows seem to know where you need them to go Igniting a spark in their minds, so they circle and fly

Fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly, fly

You hang around for a living Blown in the wind like a pinned butterfly Monarch of ever forgiving Some of us wonder if you want to die Would you want to die?

How I wonder, ever wonder Ever wonder, ever wonder Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows) Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows) Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows) Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows) Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows) Ever wonder, ever wonder (the wind knows, the wind knows)

The wind knows, the wind knows The wind knows, the wind knows The wind knows, the wind knows The wind knows, the wind knows -A Lady: I know a lady, good and evil Showed me that I was a gentleman Wait for the girl to blossom into Colors that grow where you can -The Trap:

Whispered leaves on swaying trees And mysteries define Summer nights of endless light Remind us of the line that's yours and mine

Thoughts of green and breezes mean I'm growing from a stem Missing dirt on my T-shirt You'll move a little closer, but the moving isn't over if it's

Them and you and me, stringing electricity And the rest of it is waiting under When it overflows, taking us where no one knows We remember when we fell into the trap

Midnight air is unprepared for Thoughts we would condemn Silence of the stars above in any other weather We would try to stay together but it's

Them and you and me stringing electricity And the rest of it is waiting under When it overflows, taking us where no one knows We remember when we fell into the trap

Mothers and fathers without will doubt Brother to brother another hold out Imagine a world if the numbers would take some time out Me without you and you without I want to break out of this abstracting pattern of layers but it's on -Turn the Lights Off:

Don't go in there You'll become one Freaky creatures Monster party Eyes of yellow Scales and feathers Tails in tethers Turn the lights off

Bend the nightmare You control it Artful dodger Easy does it Shut the closet Get under the covers Snakes and lovers Turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns To see how bright the fire inside of us burns And everybody wants to get evil tonight But all good devils masquerade under the light

Here's the pinky There's the kinky Everybody complicate it Man and woman Baby child Calm and wild Turn the lights off

Don't remember (day's gone) What we look like (night's on) Younger holding (day's gone) One another (light's passed) Paper colors (day's gone) Dangle streaming (night's on) Tangle screaming (light's gone) Turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns To see how bright the fire inside of us burns And everybody wants to get evil tonight But all good devils masquerade under the light

Can't they take it Should be stronger Books abandoned Breathe the water Mind distracted (bad girls) Sons and daughters (good boys) Out for slaughter (bad guys) Turn the lights off

Sparkles and shines on the water Seeps through the cumulus brume Tingles and tears while we're gazing Vanishes soon after bedtime for good

Don't you like it (day's gone) I know I do (night's on) How about you? (day's gone) What do we know (light's passed) Tiny patterns (day's gone) Hypnotizing (night's on) Terrorizing (light's gone) Turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns To see how bright the fire inside of us burns And everybody wants to get evil tonight But all good devils masquerade under the light

Chroma diamonds Twinkle brightly Dance in darkness Blow the nights off Sleepy child Spark desire Walk the fire -Misery Fell:

Misery fell on the town when they lost all their looks Spent all those years with their jobs and their scholarly books With no one to share all their thoughts and their worldly-to-bes Oh, no They got down and prayed a little more for a life that was free

Wanting a change they assessed how reform comes around A wise man suggested they work in their smiles not their frowns And all of a sudden, it sounds like the town was to be Oh, yes A happier place where they live out their personal dreams

La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la

Why, oh why? This town without love, too much faith in above Can you feel the Force that it brings not to worry 'bout things Just the stars in the sky all enjoying their time With a hope for peace

First thing they do is to substitute pleasure for pain Helping themselves figure out there's so much they can gain The bad guys surrender their chemistry books at the fair Oh, well Then frolic and take in the love that persists everywhere

La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la

Why, oh why? This town without love, too much faith in above Can you feel the Force that it brings not to worry 'bout things Just the stars in the sky all enjoying their time With a hope for-

Why, oh why? This town without love, too much faith in above Can you feel the Force that it brings not to worry 'bout things Just the stars in the sky all enjoying their time All the people that kiss, all the children that wish All the fresh living flowers That spend all their hours outside in the rain Just so happy you came from so far for so long With a welcoming song Just to say, to say -Out in the Twilight:

Stone & glass, everything balancing Every saint has a sin Won't it last? Resident present I don't even want to ask

All the light is low Where the time will go All I know is that I can see anything Out in the twilight

All is past, everything interesting Is it new? Is it me? Stone & glass, give me a reason it Ought to be easy to last

All the light is low Where the time will go All I know is that I can see anything Out in the twilight

And in between, eternally An even fall is all that will appear to be Our story's old and either end untold The in-between goes on

Collect yourself and move into the street Out in the twilight The rest of our entire life is free Out in the twilight Collect yourself and move into the street Out in the twilight The rest of our entire life is free Out in the twilight -You:

It's never fair to say I never care about Anything 'cause I always care about you It doesn't seem like there's anything happening Nothing ever seems happening without you

Mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

It never seems like I'm all alone when now Everywhere that I search about is for you There's always something that's worth believing in Keep uncovering more at the thought, it's for you

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

In the warm sun Past the winter Here and ever, hear forever In the motion Frozen quiet Still it's spoken heart unbroken Clouds before us Unknown waters Greater spaces hold no hiding Far and near to Change or constant I'll still wait and do it all for you

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm -Fate of the Stars:

To leave from this tale, follow closely ahead Prepare to exist by the living & dead Too slow or too kind or too wary of those too at ease Past all the buried impressions of then Sullen drawn eyes and expressions to mend Continued through mirrors left broken to sing and be heard Through when it seems all the senses are lost to absurd

So the part where we are Trapped in active depart In the fate of the stars No, not one who we are No control pumping heart Button pressed mind in art Mind control, mind restart

To leave from the present with no source of sound They laugh because silence is never around Ignored and forgotten, the past may continue to breathe Feared not a rest by this desolate friend Whose patience revealed what intent comes to send With a stare at a hole in the world comes a lust to be high Above all the dark nested clouds that keep guard of the sky

So the part where we are Trapped in active depart In the fate of the stars No, not one who we are No control pumping heart Button pressed mind in art Mind control, mind restart

Step onto the Ferris wheel Round for day & night Lost in what's forever more Complacent in its reasons for Give & take & sleep & wake & Pray for day & night to come Again, we see there's certainty in What we feel and what we've heard Again, we see there's certainty in Expectations all the same -Introduction to the Snow:

Alone at the edge of a universe humming a tune With sparkling crystals souls aglow

A part of thee in the key of what we know to be every part without me Knows only two can make it light

You'll live forever tonight -Isle Unto Thyself:

Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known

You were an island unto thyself You had a heart you hadn't felt Why would it hurt me? Or was it real?

It was the night we had to part We were afraid to miss the start What did it matter? Why would it matter? And could we heal?

Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known

I was a victim of magic Apollo, catching my breath as I bled on the ground Somebody called me to follow I followed thinking aloud without hearing the sound

Then, all the planets fell to dust Lonely departing after us Gone, not forgotten Long, but forgotten old lore

In every element of life Love camouflaging under strife or other matters Minds over matters, let there be more

Maybe you'll exit tomorrow The sorrow sweeping you off as your island replies Sudden invincible flowing A river clearer than all thou might view with thine eyes

Why did fire-erupted lands arrive? Why did murderous animals survive? Why did we deserve to be revived? Why was any and everything alive? -Black Rainbows:

Do we remember (Oma'oma'o polū poni) Connected rainbows? ('Ele'ele, 'ele'ele) Stella octangula

I see the praised rays You see me smile We know the joy beyond above Has been here awhile

I draw the rainbows You draw them near ('Ele'ele) And lo the hues arrange to show It's perfectly clear ('Ele'ele)

Stella octangula ('Ula'ula 'alani melemele) (Oma'oma'o polū poni)

I draw the rainbows ('Ele'ele) You draw them near ('Ele'ele) And lo the hues arrange to show ('Ele'ele) It's perfectly clear ('Ele'ele)

Do we remember ('Ula'ula 'alani melemele) Connected rainbows? (Oma'oma'o polū poni) ('Ula'ula 'alani melemele) (Oma'oma'o polū poni) (Ah-ha!) -White Ball:

Drift aloft In some effortless place Bound by delicate dread Saving no face

Air dissolves Where one game is designed Something's elegant find So the program goes

Fate decides How these columns align Birth by chess or benign Every moment

Marble gods Tango circles in space 'Round the already dead Hung by staircase up

On and on The awakening light Will bathe slumbers Of ethereal sights Today is renewed, is reborn Each day, I am new, I am yours

So please dismiss What they claim about this Being in vain to explain How expressed with a kiss Taking passionate steps Floor suspending abyss

Such impossible bliss Such impossible bliss Such impossible bliss Such impossible bliss Such impossible bliss Such impossible bliss -Murders:

He was in the forest looking to see the trees But none were there He found a girl She found the Erlking (the lover)

They were in the white wood Gamboling out to picnic In the light leaves broke above Then fell below

I was in the middle ground Looking to find the flowers in the garden Wearying of the hate me, hate me not Wait. they forgot Woe, oh, the rot

Deeper in they crept Oblivious of the bears and darker terrors Or none were there How did they dare?

I was in the middle ground Looking to find the fountain of infinite mirror Tree falling, no one would hear Shadow of nobody there Murders of murderers living in fear of it

Owls on the night watch Solemn and easily wise to what we thought They thought above Sound broke below

They were in the black wood Coveting indiscreetly her for him Or him for her Shown what they were

I was in the middle ground Looking to find the fountain of infinite mirror Tree falling, no one would hear Shadow of nobody there Murders of murderers living in fear of it

I was in the clearing Buzzing around to hearing But the bees and birds who knew the words Soon arrived the twilight Finally the night and day remembered How they came to be

All for nothing at all All for nothing at all With something to do

I was in the forest looking to see the trees But none were there -宇宙ステーションのレベル7:

十五年後、待ち時間は終わったそれは大地を残すことは無理我々は天国から出発それは秘密じゃないすぐに誰もが知っている

HEAVEN 天の御国 HEAVEN 天国は待機

それは大地で宇宙ステーションだも何もこれに比較しませんレベル七にはしごを使用し睡眠、俺の子供明るい目が待っています

HEAVEN 天の御国 HEAVEN 天の御国

UN ENSEMBLE D'ENFANTS LA GALAXIE S'ÉTEND JARDIN DE L'IMAGINATION

JE DOIS DIRE BONSOIR LANCE-TOI ET TU VIVRAS TOUJOURS CE SOIR

HEAVEN 天の御国 HEAVEN 天国は時機 HEAVEN 天の御国 HEAVEN 天国は時機 -The Mind Electric:

Think of these thoughts as limitless light Exposing closing circuitry of fright Think of each moment holding this breath As death minute in decimal

Resident minor, how do you plead? We'll need your testimony on the stand Solemnly swear to tell the whole truth So help you son, now raise your right hand

Father your honor, may I explain? My brain has claimed its glory over me I've a good heart albeit insane Condemn him to the infirmary

All mine towers crumble down the flowers gasping under rubble Shrieking in the hall of lull, thy genius saves a thirst for trouble

Scattering sparks of thought energy Deliver me and carry me away Here in my kingdom I am your Lord I order you to cower and pray

Nuns commence incanting as the lightning strikes mine temples thus Electrifying mine chambers, wholly scorching out thine sovereignty So-so-so-so-so-so-so-so spiraling down thy majesty I beg of thee, have mercy on me I was just a boy you see I plead of thee have sympathy for me

See how the serfs work the ground (see how they fall) And they give it all they've got (fall) And they give it all they've got (fall) And you give it all you've got 'til you're down (fall)

See how the brain plays around And you fall inside a hole you couldn't see And you fall inside a hole inside a- Someone help me Understand what's going on inside my mind Doctor I can't tell if I'm not me

When it grows bright, the particles start to Marvel having made it through the night Never they ponder, weather electric Calming if you look at it right! -Labyrinth:

See how I circle Imaginary mind Imaginary lines Let the maze of my design carry you on

Just bumped my head and my face turns purple Running through hurdles Running in circles Trying to escape from this thing that I fear Everything seems clear like the end is near

In the rear I can see the beast getting close Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke

The smoke reeks of failure I don't want to fail But all the stairwells lead straight to hell So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me Focus on the love and the light right before me

Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning Patience thinning and my calves keep burning Hotter than a furnace Suddenly I'm learning Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and East is North and West is South I feel like I'm 'a never get out I'm trapped

See how I circle Imaginary mind Imaginary lines Let the maze of my design carry you on See how I fly away (away, away, away, away, away)

Behind me my ex-girl's chasing me In front of me, my next girl's facing me Awaiting me The light's in my sight but I can't cross these enemy lines I'm behind I can feel the fatigue but I'm dying to shine But the road winds I rewind, I rewind

Got to find a new place to hide for the night Will I ever escape Boy, I try and I try Everybody's watching me I'm dying to get out In the glass labyrinth, I am the mouse

See how I circle I'm trapped I'm trapped It's just a game you play Here in this labyrinth (I'm trapped) -Time Machine:

Look Oh look at what you've done now to me Dead tired and ornery I'm leaving today today

Thinking of the way I used to spend the time I can see that I have overpaid Past is passed and rather than regret the old I can live it back the other way

Just look Oh look at what you've done now to me Free floating temporally I'm leaving today today

I avoid the messiness of misery Playing in dimension number four I can get away to any time I like Space-time's any time and many more

Live the dream with a time machine You've been waiting forever But you can make ever wait for you Do what you want to do

Live the dream with a time machine You've been waiting forever You'll have time enough to spend some time alone

Wait I await for all eternity With standing modernity Is where we must stay today

Now I know the nature of no urgency Now I know why now is never gone Fleeting in this mode of making memories Keeping up this pace of keeping on

Live the dream in a time machine You've been waiting forever But you can make ever wait for you Do what you want to do

Live the dream in a time machine You've been waiting forever

You'll have time enough to spend some time alone All alone Time alone

Live the dream with a time machine You've been waiting forever

Live the dream with a time machine

Live the dream with a time machine You've been waiting forever

Live the dream with a time machine -Stranded Lullaby:

There's a still tension in the swell Of dreamt debris afloat amidst the waves and then dispel

Aimless thoughts and papers blown around A million moments meant remembered rest in deep dark sound Game the mess I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea Maybe we'll be there when you want

Anchorless and unmoored set amiss Awake would only prove the fantasy made lucid sense Sail on, sail on I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea Maybe we'll be there when you want

There's a still tension in the swell So given to the vast receiving emptiness of time Beyond, beyond I'd like to know why you are all alone while I You're unsure if I am A loose end or a strand That waits for you to mend or understand -Dream Sweet in Sea Major:

Alone at the edge of a universe humming a tune For merely dreaming we were snow

A siren sounds like the goddess who Promises endless apologies of paradise And only she can make it right So things are different tonight

We'll go together in flight

It's now and never A reverie endeavor Awaits somnambulant directives To take the helm

Believe me, darling The stars were made for falling Like melting obelisks As tall as another realm

Un ensemble d'enfants La galaxie s'étend Jardin de l'imagination Combler la lacune Voler face à la lune Vois comme nous évoluons

It feels like flying But maybe we're dying A cosmic confluence of Pyramids hologrammed

She knows you heard her Staging music murder In line before the show began To be where I am

Children born of one emotion Our devotion's deepest ocean No division reasoned we'll be free

To know We are beyond a bow And lo, the hues arrange to show It's perfectly clear

You look quite divine tonight Here among these vibrant lights Pure delights surround us as we sail Signed, yours truly, the whale

Joy mirage's kingdom come No one left at stake Now that existence is on the wake Let's see what we can make

The part is wholly ending A line in any final song So long, so far

We will be atoning At last eternal through the past Above a blinding star

Bye, hi Sigh, Hawaii We never meant to part Sublime, thy art

One light Higher than the sun Invisible to some Until it's time

#tally hall #miracle musical #I DID EVERY SONG OH MY GOD MY HANDS HURT #if this doesn't prove that im a tally hall fan idk what does

Tell me what are my words worth ; Benedict Bridgerton x Reader

Chapter 9: "Déshonorez-moi, M. Bridgerton"

Pairing: Benedict Bridgerton x fem!reader

Summary: While the other ladies have grown with the mindset of marrying and having children, you, as the daughter of a man who wanted a son, grew up being both. You learnt how to embroider, play the pianoforte, fence and manage the estate. However, there were some things that not even the Duke of Burgundy could do, so after he passed and you thought there was nothing left for you, you decided to move to London for a while and go to the Royal Academy of Art.

Nothing was going to keep you from what you wanted, and you would do whatever it takes: you would lie to everyone, you would live to death, you would pretend to be a man. You had a plan and it would be a piece of cake for you. But again, when has something that she wants and should not do easy for a woman? Especially when a man like Benedict Bridgerton gets in the way in more ways than one.

Warnings/tags: idiots in love, eventual smut, love triangles (but not really), lgbtq+ themes, bisexual benedict bridgerton, feminist themes, historical inaccuracy (for the sake of the plot), inspired by mulan (1998), song: the lakes (taylor swift), other tags to be added

Chapter summary: In spite of the inconveniences, you joined the Sharmas, Lady Danbury and the Bridgertons at Aubrey Hall for the ball, but not without setting a date with Benedict Bridgerton at midnight.

"Mr. Bridgerton, welcome!" Lord Carrington exclaimed. "Lady Y/N is finishing getting ready."

"Of course, Lord Carrington, I will wait for her."

He nodded. "I hope everything goes very well on your ball. We, unfortunately, might not be able to attend as my wife has fallen sick."

"Oh, that's a shame," Benedict empathized. "I wish for her to recover very soon, and as for the ball, do not worry. I will tell my Mother."

"Thank you, son."

Benedict smiled at Lord Carrington's words.

"Antoinette, dépêche-toi !" your yells could be heard from the sitting room, making Benedict smile fondly. "We will be late!"

"My Lady, this dress is not very easy to put on!"

Lord Carrington laughed. "One could never fathom a lady and her maid treating each other like sisters, but Y/N certainly treats Antoinette like one."

"She proves to us every day that she is another kind of lady," Benedict noted. "That is probably why she and my sister Eloise tally as well as they do. These two were cut from the same cloth."

"It would be unbearable to have two of those under the same roof," He smiled. "Thankfully, my wife is not the defiant kind, she would be similar enough to Y/N otherwise."

"I am certain Lady Y/N is not that bad."

"Not at all," Lord Carrington rushed. "You will never have one boring day beside that woman. She is quite the artist, any would be surprised by her talents; and her particular ability to spend an entire day at the modiste. She returns with at least a dress each time she goes, and is argumentative enough to contradict the jeweler," he added. "I promise you will have the perfect wife by your side if you keep her."

"Well, I intend to."

He curved his lips. "My wife and I have known her since before she was born… She holds a very special place in our hearts, and we wish for nothing but the best for her. Louisa and I, we are glad it is you."

"Thank you, Lord Carrington."

"You know, Mr. Bridgerton?" He began, looking at Benedict right in the eye. "The environment that she grew up in made her the woman she is today. It took her father a while to… take a look at her, he wanted a son but ended up with the living image of his wife. When he realized that she was going to be the one to take care of everything when he passed, that's when he decided to be the father she needed... And he used to spend hours teaching her how to ride a horse and then he would talk about their home while she painted the sunset. They traveled the world together and were everything to one another, so… take care of her."

Benedict frowned at certain words of his but nodded nevertheless.

"I am here!" you exclaimed running downstairs. "Good morning, Mr. Bridgerton!"

"Good morning, Lady Y/N," Benedict grinned at the use of names while in front of Lord Carrington. "Shall we?"

"Yes, we shall," You accepted his arm. "I am starving and excited for this trip."

He laughed. "Goodbye, Lord Carrington."

"Bye, my Lord!" You smiled. "Take good care of Lady Carrington for me, will you?"

Lord Carrington laughed. "I will."

Once you were finally inside your carriage, you looked at Antoinette.

"Did you tell Théo and Laurent that we will have a long trip today?" you asked and Antoinette nodded. "So, are they rested and are the horses alright?"

"They are, my Lady. There is nothing for you to worry about."

You smiled and looked at Benedict in front of you.

"You look most ravishing in that teal blue dress." he commented.

"I believed my color was apricot orange."

"In all honesty, apricot was the same color you wore the day we met," he reminded you. "Therefore, it holds a very special spot in my brain."

"I didn't remember that," you confessed, feeling warmth rushed into your cheeks. "Thank you for saying that, I am glad that both teal and apricot are my colors."

Benedict grinned. "To be fair, every color is your color. You look equally dazzling in all of them."

"That is, perhaps, because you have not seen me in red just yet. That would be your favorite."

"Very well, you have me looking forward to it."

"Your wishes will be satisfied during the ball." you replied with a suggestive smile.

"I cannot wait, then."

Soon, you arrived at the Bridgerton House, being received by all the siblings and Lady Bridgerton.

"Y/N!" Eloise called you before you joined the rest of the family for breakfast. "I need to talk to you about something."

You frowned. "Of course, Eloise. Can it wait until we are in Aubrey Hall or at least until after breaking the fast?"

She sighed. "Yes. Okay."

You and Eloise went to the dining room and sat next to each other.

"Uh, I hear you are to return to France soon, are you not?" Anthony questioned.

"Yes, I must go back. There are issues at home only I can resolve," you replied. "There is also a visit from the Americas waiting for me."

Anthony looked at Benedict. "You are coming back to London, I assume."

"I am not sure," you said, catching his telepathic conversation with Benedict that was surely about you. "Unless I am given a reason to, I will not. At least, not anytime soon."

"That is unfortunate," Anthony added. "Just know you will always be welcomed by us."

"Thank you," you replied. "Likewise."

Lady Bridgerton sighed. "And this visit from the Americas… Can we know who it is?"

"Oh, my Grandfather," you answered. "He was shocked by my absence and wishes to see me."

"He should come here," Lady Bridgerton proposed. "I have never met him before, I would be delighted to."

"I know, but he just survived a weeks-long trip, so I do not think it is proper for him to travel more," You wrinkled your nose. "You could always join me and spend a few weeks in Versailles until I leave for the Americas with him."

Benedict almost choked on his food. "Are you traveling overseas?!"

You hummed. "I will unless I have a reason not to. Or a companion, too, would be very appreciated."

Eloise looked at you with her eyes wide open, while Daphne and Francesca looked at each other hiding a smirk at your suggestion. Gregory and Hyacinth pretended not to be aware of the conversation but gave each other funny glances. Lady Bridgerton hid her laugh as Benedict, Anthony, and Colin shared surprised stares.

The eldest Bridgerton was well aware that his brother was flirting with you. It seemed very innocent and even encouraged by him at the beginning, but once he heard his Mother talk so highly of you and after having met you, Anthony knew it was time for a serious conversation: Benedict had only met you a couple of weeks previous and already decided to court you? What were his intentions? Did he not think it was an awful idea to marry someone he did not know well enough? Was he aware of the responsibility that would fall on his shoulders once he married you?

The answer to his question was found in that glint of doubt that shone in Benedict's blue eyes, and Anthony knew he had to make his brother give up on marrying you.

Since, of course, Anthony believed it was his responsibility to dictate the future of each of his siblings.

What he did not know was that the reason behind Benedict's doubt was way worse than whatever his fate marrying you and destroying an entire region would be. The remedy was worse than the illness in this case because it involved his brother having some sort of relationship with another man. Particularly his future fiancée's —fictional— brother. And Benedict, clearly, did not want Anthony or anybody else to ever know about it.

"I could always go with you! An adventure would be quite enriching." Eloise intervened.

"I think that is a wond-" Lady Bridgerton began but was interrupted by her eldest son.

"Do not even mention it, Sister," Anthony threatened. "You cannot travel abroad with a stranger."

The dining room fell silent, and Lady Bridgerton was about to interfere and scold his son for treating you that way when you replied.

You raised your eyebrow. "Did I miss something, Lord Bridgerton? Or what have I done to cause the sudden change of attitude toward me?"

"Brother…" Benedict gave him a pointed look.

"Not at all, I just cannot help but realize that you are very insistent on marrying my brother."

"Anthony, stop."

"Mr. Bridgerton, I do not need you to defend me," you told Benedict, then looking at Anthony in an attempt to hide how offended you were. "I have never, not even once, approached your brother myself, Lord Bridgerton. As you should be aware, a woman is not allowed to. I am not desperate, it is just that I must return to France, I do not need anything from you. In case you haven't considered the possibility of me loving your brother, I could easily point it out for you: marriages based on a love match do exist and I was hoping to have one of those for myself. I believe I could find that with Benedict, I did not know you were the one to make decisions for him," You stood up, dedicating him the deadliest glance your eyes could make. "Bon appétit."

You did not hesitate nor looked back, and made your way out of the dining room with the purpose of returning to the Carrington Mansion.

However, Benedict stopped you in the middle of your way to the front door.

"Y/N, wait!"

You stopped with a sigh, trying to regain composure. "What can I do for you, Mr. Bridgerton?"

"Don't call me that, please," he pleaded, taking you by your arm and leading the way to the bureau. "And pay my brother no mind, I beg you, he… Marriage is a very sensitive topic of conversation lately, especially for him. He did not mean to say any of that or to offend you."

"You do not have to apologize in the name of your brother and I do not care for him or his personal issues, Benedict," you answered. "I love you, alright? I do. And I can think of at least ten respectable gentlemen in London, forty more across Europe, and a hundred all around the world who wish to marry me and about whom I couldn't care less when you are the one that I want. I do not want to settle for any of them, I do not care if it is a prince, a king, a duke, a count, a viscount, a lord, whatever, I only want you. If you love me, too, tell me at once or I will go back to France with no reason to return to London."

"I love you, too."

"Think it through, then," you demanded. "If you marry me, you must live in France with me, Benedict. You will have to leave your life here behind for me and while I love you so, I cannot ask you that."

"Y/N, I would follow you to the ends of the Earth, you hear me? I love you like I never thought possible," he whispered. "Don't leave, come to Aubrey Hall with us. Anthony will make it up to you, of that I am sure."

You looked around, noticing you were alone.

His eyes met yours so passionately that it hurt to even break the contact, so you just cupped his face, caressing his features fondly.

And you kissed him as if the world was crumbling down around you.

"I do not care about Anthony, Benedict," you muttered. "He could disown you and still you would have four palaces at your disposal if you stand by me, you would lack nothing, nor would our children or the children of our children or their great-grandchildren. I will be by your side until my very last breath and I will love you through Heaven and Hell. This is your choice."

He kissed you again, this time more urgently and lovingly.

You observed him as he pulled away, looking perfect as ever in his Prussian blue suit with a steel and burgundy waistcoat and a matching cravat of the latter color.

"You are the most enchanting man I have met in my life," you confessed. "And I have met many princes."

Benedict laughed. "You mean to tell me that I am more enchanting than a prince?"

You clicked your tongue. "I meant that you are more enchanting than all those rich, handsome princes and the nobles and the explorers and every man I have known altogether."

He kissed you again, smiling throughout the dance of your yearning lips.

"You are the most endearing, interesting, and ravishing woman I have ever encountered," he complimented you. "You are the only woman who has called him out in front of a crowd apart from Miss Sharma."

"Ah, he must hate me now," you noted. "I will get over it."

"But he will be my best man!"

You shook your head. "No ring, no wedding innuendos."

"Well, no wedding, no kissing," Benedict added. "Two can play that game."

"That is actually very sensible from you, Mr. Bridgerton. Can you imagine what would happen if someone was to catch us with our hands in the bag?!"

He chortled. "What does that even mean?"

"It means if someone sees us in this compromising situation: with rouge all over our faces, hair a mess, and… your cheeks are turning the color of the wine!"

"Then, meet me tonight in the garden, my Lady," he proposed. "When everyone is fast asleep."

"I never said I would still go to Aubrey Hall."

"My dear Mother would be devastated if you rejected her invitation. Not to mention Eloise, who was arguing with me about how I should not keep you to myself the whole time as she needed her friend."

"Meet me at midnight, then, Mr. Bridgerton."

You did not exchange a single word with Anthony for the rest of the day. Not when you arrived at Aubrey Hall, not when you declined their invitation to play Pall Mall, and the siblings —minus Anthony— and Miss Sharma, insisted on you to. Not during tea or dinner. Not ever.

It was now an hour until midnight, and you were on your way to Eloise's room.

"Finally!" she exclaimed in a whisper when you were in front of her door. "I thought you had forgotten."

You shook your head and entered her room. "No, I just had to wait for Antoinette to fall asleep so I could come."

"Alright, that does not matter," she replied, making space for you to sit on her bed. "I have a problem I do not know how to solve."

"If there is any way I can help you, do not doubt I will."

"I know," she muttered. "That is why I am asking you this, I cannot appeal to anybody else."

"Of course, Eloise, tell me."

"The Queen believes I am Lady Whistledown."

You gasped. "What?!"

"I know!"

"Are you?"

Eloise shook her head with a frown. "No!"

"Alright," you replied. "What should we do?"

"She threatened me. My family. I do not know what to do."

"We must find out who Lady Whistledown is and expose her."

"How?! That is what I have tried to do for so long, and-"

"Shh… It is alright, everything will be alright, Eloise," you tried to calm her down. "What if you tell her who Lady Whistledown is, except that it is someone who does not exist?"

"She will find out and it will be worse!"

You nodded. "Tomorrow night, at the ball, we will spread different rumors to every possible Lady Whistledown and see which got printed and tell the Queen it was her."

"The rumors will be spread, how will we even know?"

"Because she would want to spread the one no one else told her about in order to have one novelty! We will find out who it is, then, and tell the Queen."

Eloise sighed. "And what will happen to the real Lady Whistledown?"

"That is not your problem, Eloise… The Queen threatened your family, and they are the ones you must worry about."

"Y/N, could you… not tell anyone?"

Your expression softened. "It will be our secret, El."

"Thank you."

"Always," You smiled and stood up to look at the window. "You know? You should ignore Anthony and come to France with me and Benedict, I hope. It will help you clear your mind… we could tell your Mama that you will find a French husband there; instead, I could take you everywhere!"

"Benedict, you said?" she mocked you.

"Yes. All proofs lead me to believe he will propose before I leave," you answered. "He said that I should not be indifferent to Anthony's hate because he would be his best man. That should be enough."

She made an annoyed grin. "You will marry my brother?"

"A lady can only hope," you said, noticing how Benedict was already waiting for you in the garden. "I should head back to my room, Eloise… We can talk specifics tomorrow."

"Of course. Good night."

"Sleep well."

You practically ran to the garden until you met him standing there, waiting for you with that grin of his. "Ready, my Lady?"

"For what?" you asked, taking the hand he was offering.

"Ready to be mine for a night?"

"Always."

Benedict took your hand in his and drove you to the backyard. "Would you like to fence? I could teach you."

"Oh, Benedict, darling… I have been fencing since I was seven!"

"Yes, of course," he said sarcastically. "Me as well, and allow me to remind you that I am way more experienced than you since I am older."

"Moi, j'adore un rêveur !" you exclaimed.

He gasped, faking offense. "Are you calling me dreamy?!"

"I am indeed, dearest."

"Tu es la femme de mes rêves," Benedict said with a grin. "See? It is not that difficult to compliment others!"

"Ooh, la la, Monsieur Bridgerton… si romantique !" you teased him, getting closer to him. "I will destroy you."

"That sounds most tempting…" he whispered, turning around to get the pair of fencing swords he had left there earlier that day. "This one is for you."

You took it and gave him a look. "The dress might make it difficult for me to unleash my prime level."

He laughed. "I will go easy on you."

"No, do it as if I were one of your brothers."

"Are you sure about that? We are very competitive."

You clicked your tongue, taking a defensive position. "En garde, dearest."

"I will destroy you!" Benedict exclaimed and you chuckled as he hit his sword against yours.

And you started fencing.

You could admit you were having the time of your life, all laughter and you winning more than half of the rounds.

"It is because I have been going easy on you."

You scoffed. "I told you not to!"

"One more, all or nothing at all."

"Only if you wish to lose."

"Confident much?" he questioned. "Alright, how about… a bet?"

"A bet?" You frowned. "What could you possibly bet?"

"I win… you dance with the man of my choice at the ball," Benedict stated. "And I shall not be gentle."

You hummed, then. "Very well, Benedict. I win, you come to France with me despite Anthony's objections"

"Oh, you are serious."

"I always am, dearest," you replied. "En garde !"

You began the final round, and it was, probably, the most competitive you have been a part of.

Benedict started running as he saw you close to winning, and you had no choice but to raise your skirt and chase him down. "That is against the rules!"

"We never said anything about rules!"

"You said fencing, so we must follow the rules of fencing!"

"Once you catch me we can begin to talk about rules!"

You got closer to him, taking advantage of how Benedict lowered his speed to give you a much more fair chance to reach him. "You run too fastly and this dress is making it impossible for me to-"

Benedict, who had turned around to see you complain, felt you fall harshly on top of him as you stumbled.

Both laughed at the situation, the fencing swords long forgotten.

"You look precious under the moonlight," he noted, seeing how the light illuminated your face slightly, and how your short hair fell messy, covering both your faces like a curtain with how close you were to one another. "You certainly do."

You could feel the way your stomach fluttered at his compliments and how flushed your face was. "Shall we call this a tie?"

His hands put your hair behind your ear and then fell on your neck, driving you impossibly closer until your lips met.

"I believe you mentioned something about no kisses, Mr. Bridgerton," you mentioned once your lips parted. "Not that I am complaining."

Benedict kissed you again, this time more urgently. You could taste the craving in his lips and feel the need in his touch.

"You will not believe half the things I see inside my head," he confessed, standing up and helping you stand up, too. "Your lips are my addiction, Lady Y/N, and I long for you every second that we are apart."

"I wish to never be apart from you," you whispered, taking his hand in yours. "I wish to grow older with your hand holding mine and to watch you sleep every night."

He smiled and kissed you once more. "I love you."

The next kiss was better. Benedict pushed you against the nearest tree and you felt as if your soul would leave your body any second at how… unearthly the experience was.

An unfamiliar warmth took over your entire being, and the need for more would not leave you breathing in peace. More, more, more… your body chanted, but more of what?

"I feel…" you breathed out when he left your mouth and went to your neck, his hands holding your waist tightly against him. "What is this that I am feeling?"

He grinned. "Have you never been taught about this?"

"About what?" you asked with a whimper.

"My, my, Lady Y/N, anyone would think that with that know-it-all attitude of yours, you were aware of all the ways two people can make the other feel when they are alone." Benedict smirked.

"What does that mean?" You sighed, feeling his hand go to the bare part of your back and caress you there.

"Do you trust me?"

You nodded eagerly. "I do."

"Alright," He kissed you tenderly on your cheek. "This is something important, so you must be sure about it before we proceed."

"How so?"

"Because it is something that a lady like you only does once she marries."

You made a confused grin. "Like kissing?"

He chuckled. "It is… more than that. However, it is related to kissing. You kiss the other person when you do it."

"So it is like… advanced kissing?"

"Yes, you could say that," Benedict laughed. "It requires us both to be nude."

Your heart started beating faster and you felt your cheeks warm. "Nude? Like in the paintings?"

"Just like that," he replied. "And we would touch each other. I promise you that I will make it the most enjoyable experience if you allow me."

"Would you enjoy it as well?"

"You have no idea," Benedict smiled, kissing your forehead. "But this is not something you should take lightly, so you must be certain you want to do it."

"Why do people do this?"

Benedict pursed his lips. "Two reasons, actually."

"Two?" you questioned.

"Firstly, and that is why ladies like you only do it after they are married, so the woman can be with child."

Your eyes widened. "I do not want to be with child yet!"

"I know," he conceded. "That is why we will be careful..."

"Could there- could there be consequences?"

He nodded, stroking your hair. "Only if someone sees us."

"Then we must hide somewhere to make sure we are not to be seen." you answered surely.

"Are you completely sure you want to do this, then?"

"I am. I want to do it."

"Shall we go to my bedchambers?"

"Yes."

You kissed again, this time shortly. "You cannot tell a soul about this."

"You know I will never tell." you said, taking his hand.

Benedict drove you silently through the hallways of Aubrey Hall until you arrived at his bedchambers.

He opened the door and invited you in. "Are you completely sure, then, my dear?"

"I am," you answered. "Could you call me something other than dear? Everyone calls me dear: the Carringtons, your Mother…"

"Mmm… does my heart sound good?" he wondered between laughter.

"It is perfect, mon cœur." you confirmed, taking a look around his room.

[My heart]

"Shall we?"

You nodded in front of him and waited for him to do the first move.

So Benedict kissed you softly on the lips and then pulled apart. He spun you so your back was facing his front, and started kissing your neck while playing with the buttons of your dress. "May I?"

"Yes…"

He unbuttoned the dress and soon it was discarded on the cold floor. Your bare skin got goosebumps under his burning, delicate touch. Then, he undid your corset and put it away, driving his hands to your now-uncovered breasts.

You shook under his touch, resting your head on his chest as his hands did wonders on your breasts. "It is cold, why do I feel so warm… there?"

"Do you like this?"

You nodded.

"That is why, my heart… Now, do you like what we are doing?"

"I do," you answered truthfully. More, more, more… you heard again the chants of your body and decided to indulge. "Is there any way you could give me more?"

"More of what?"

"I do not know, I just… I want more." you hurried to say.

"Anything you please," Benedict left your breasts unattended to put his hands on the sides of your undergarments. "May I?"

You nodded, and he complied.

The cold air meeting your warmth was the first feeling you met with, and the way you shuddered wasn't familiar in the slightest.

"Is this normal?" you wondered while raising each leg from the floor so he could take off your undergarments while kissing your bare back.

"Is what normal, my heart?"

"It is too hot and I feel something… Can I touch it there?"

He breathed out with eagerness. "Yes, you can. Come here, spin around, my love."

You did as he told you and with the most flushed expression, you put your right hand between your thighs, meeting with an unusual, heated moisture there. A loud sigh left your lips. "Why is it wet?" you asked, feeling embarrassed without knowing why.

"It is normal, you mustn't worry," he answered, taking your hand in his and sliding your wet fingers into his mouth. He released them, kissing your knuckles before letting go, fighting the ache that hardened between his thighs. "That means that you are enjoying yourself, just like I am."

You cleared your throat. The sight, though unfamiliar, awakened many inexplicable feelings of intimacy you couldn't quite decipher. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Very much." Benedict said, kissing your cleavage.

"But I have not touched you yet and you are still clothed."

"But I am seeing you, touching you, and kissing you," he lowered his kisses to the valley between your breasts. "I enjoy that. I enjoy sharing this with you."

A shaky breath escaped from your lips as your hands went to his shoulders for support. "Really?"

Benedict hummed. "It is most pleasant, as I have been told, when you do it with someone you love."

You let out a soft chuckle at his words. Looking down, you met with his blue eyes and sweet smile, and when you saw his burgundy tie, you were more conscious of the fact that he was still fully clothed.

"I wish to see you." you demanded, untying his cravat delicately.

He shuddered at your command. "Anything."

He stood up now and started unbuttoning his waistcoat. His white linen blouse, with the sleeves already rolled up, came next; his black trousers followed, and soon, it was the two of you wearing as much as you did when you were brought to this tempting world.

Your finger went to his torso, focusing on his beauty marks and connecting them like constellations. Benedict exhaled with difficulty, long gone the ease one must have for having breathed their whole life, his hands resting restlessly on your hips.

"I have never seen a man quite like you," You left a soft kiss on his chest. His forehead met yours and his eyes remained closed. "Dishonor me, Mr. Bridgerton."

That seemed to be his cue, a trigger for his wildest desires because when you least expected it, he pushed you against the wall and kissed you as if he fed off of it.

Lust, just like time, turned the daylight heavens in his eyes into the dark midnight sky you loved under.

He carried you, making your legs wrap around his body and your skin merge with his, never not kissing you, not even for the briefest second.

"I am desperately in need, Benedict. Please, do something!" you begged, holding onto his arms, feeling his smirk against your neck like a kiss. "Something, anything."

Suddenly, the tip of his fingers met your core. You flinched at the intrusion but did nothing other than moan his name. "Something like this?"

He started drawing circular shapes on you: slow like torture, steady like a heartbeat, sweet like honey.

"Oh," you moaned. "What are you doing to me? Why do I… feel like this? Oh, God…"

Benedict grinned. "Are you enjoying it, my heart?"

"Yes." you replied, breathing quickly and closing your eyes. Instinctively, you spread your legs further to give him better access.

"Look at me," he told you. "Every second, you shall be looking at me."

You nodded, opening your eyes, squirming under his touch. He explored you, he loved you, he made you feel so good.

"Benedict, what is…" you whined, moving your hips at the same rhythm as his fingers. "I need more."

He kissed your forehead and increased the speed of his movements, putting one of his fingers inside you.

It was a sensation you could have never imagined, it was better than what you expected when Benedict promised you would enjoy this. You felt the need to scream his name, but knowing Colin's bedchambers were just next door, you decided to cover your mouth with your hands.

His forehead was pressed to yours and your eyes locked to each other's while your body exploded in a wave of delight, his hands didn't leave you unattended until he was certain you were done.

"What was that?" you asked him, tone a little tired.

Benedict kissed you. "That was a little bit of me dishonoring you."

"Clearly," You laughed. "Does it feel similar for you?"

"Well, it works a little differently for men."

"How come?" You frowned, getting closer to him and feeling something hard pressed against your thigh. "Wait, is that you?"

Benedict shuddered. "Can I show you?"

"Yes, please."

He nodded. "Alright, this might hurt a little, so I will need you to say no if you are not certain. You must be comfortable at all times and should not feel obliged to do something you do not want to, alright?"

"Will it hurt for long?"

"Only at the beginning, my heart, though I promise I will do my best to make sure it does not hurt," he promised. "Then, it will feel good."

"I would like to try."

"Remember to stop me if you wish to stop."

"I will," You kissed him gently. "I want you to feel good. Please, teach me how."

Benedict smiled. "You could touch me like I touched you."

"Okay," you agreed. You kissed him, and your body got closer to his. Your hands traveled his arms softly, then his chest, then going lower. Once your fingertips reached under his belly button, he flinched. "Did I hurt you?"

"On the contrary," you whispered. "Continue if you wish."

Your fingers went lower until you stumbled upon his cock, and Benedict's breath hitched. "Can I… touch you there?"

"Only if you are comfortable."

You looked down and focused on him. Under the dim moonlight, you could not see much, but you could distinguish its length, so you traced his silhouette. He moaned loudly at your touch, and you smiled proudly. "Guide me, please."

Benedict covered your hand with his and made your hand hug him, then guided you up and down slowly. Some moisture joined your movements, making it easier for you.

"Come here," He stopped you, then making you straddle him but not getting your bodies to meet yet. "I shall get inside you now. Are you still sure you want to do this?"

"Is this the part that hurts?"

"Yes."

You nodded. "Alright, I am ready."

He looked you right in the eyes and used his right hand to drive you closer to him until you were kissing softly. Then, Benedict put his hands on your hips and lowered you until your bodies met.

The pained sigh was muffled by the kiss you and Benedict shared, the ache was tarnished by the growing bliss, and you couldn't contain the voices imploring for more.

"More," you begged. "I need-"

"Let me know if you want me to stop." he said, switching positions.

"I will." You nodded, looking at him in the eyes.

And then, it began.

If you thought nothing could be better than what you had just experienced, you were definitely wrong.

It was all soft at the beginning, but then it grew desperate and needy for the both of you. Your hands were intertwined and your eyes locked as he fulfilled his promise of making you feel good.

The kiss was never-ending, and it got to the point in which you did not know where you were, you just knew you were together and nothing else mattered.

Suddenly, Benedict pulled away, but you were in such a state of bliss after you felt your body shattering and coming back you were not all that aware as to why. Not that you cared with the way you felt right now.

"I will be back in a second." he promised as he stood up, kissing your forehead before leaving the bed. You looked at the window from the bed, admiring the night sky.

Benedict returned and started cleaning you up delicately, not saying a word. You didn't need to as the silence was peaceful and comforting.

Before he could lie next to you again, you wrapped a blanket around yourself and went to the window sill, where you sat and Benedict soon joined you. He was supported on the wall and you on his chest, both admiring the stars and the moon.

"I love summer nights," you commented. "And the good company makes it even better."

He chuckled. "Am I a good company, my Lady?"

"There is no one I would rather be with right now."

"I sure hope so," He smiled, giving you a short kiss on your temple. "I do not think Lord Weber would have done any of this."

"He wouldn't have dishonored me, you are correct," you joked. "I am glad it was you who dishonored me."

Benedict chortled, caressing your arm with his fingertips. "I cannot just dishonor you and get away with it, can I?"

"You cannot! What would happen to us if someone opened that door and saw us in a position as compromising as this one?"

"We would be forced to marry!"

"What a tragedy, Mr. Bridgerton!" You dramatized, turning around to kiss him on the lips.

"Marry me." he asked, an enamored sigh leaving his lips.

You looked at him with a small smile. "That sounds incredibly impersonal and not worthy of a yes from a lady like me."

Benedict trapped your lips into a last kiss for the night, doing nothing to hide that huge and adoring smile of his. "You have absolutely captivated me, my heart, and I am afraid I am irredeemably in love with you. For you, I would run from London to Versailles, swim from France to the Americas and back; I would give away everything that I have and renounce all that I am. You are my inspiration, my muse, and I am here to swear to you that I will love you, cherish you, and honor you until my very last breath. I have been trapped under your spell since the first time my eyes met yours, and I shall remain bewitched until I am on my deathbed. Will you marry me, my heart, my Lady, my love?"

"I will marry you, Benedict Bridgerton," you answered with an ecstatic smile. "And you better put a ring on my finger before you dare tell a soul."

"Cross my heart."

How fucking cool is it that you get to live while deltarune is still being released? Like i was too young to be interested in homestuck while it was coming out, and i got into amphibia right after it finished, so i never got to experience the hype around cascade or true colors. And ill be long dead by the time however many thousands of shows and music and books that i otherwise wouldve loved to see do come out. But i was there for the spamton sweepstakes!! I saw the SVN livestream! This even goes for other current media, like how i get to talk with my friends about new amazing digital circus episodes!! Ive been to many twenty øne piløts concerts, and i plan on going to many more! I watched the live premiere of overcompensate when i was staying home from school!! I watched mr samuels teatime stories for good kids and confused adults as it came out!! It hurts so much to know that i missed out on a lot of really cool things, like i wish i was a college student in ann arbor in 2002 so i couldve watched tally hall grow, how cool would that have been!!!! I wish i couldve seen all the theories around the owl house and gravity falls back in season one!!!! But there are so many experiences i have had and will get to have in tons of different fandoms that are just as beautiful. <3 <3 <3

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - “Further Warnings”

Further warnings indeed! Let’s tally them up.

First one: Mr. Grimsby, a friend of his, but a man I very greatly disliked: there was a sinister cast in his countenance, and a mixture of lurking ferocity and fulsome insincerity in his demeanour, that I could not away with. That a man like this is Huntingdon’s friend is a warning sign.

The second one is seen in both Huntingon’s treatment of Millecent’s arts, and his reaction when Helen is actually interested in the Van Dyke painting he shows her, and tries to discuss it with him. He’s not interested in any of her interests or thoughts, or in any kind of thoughtful conversation. On top of it, he’s very disrespectful and unkind to Millicent, and Helen is aware of it though she doesn’t outright admit it to herself; the abrupt transition in I don’t know what Milicent Hargrave thought of such conduct, but I found his conversation extremely interesting, as though she’d rather switch to talking about his conversation rather than give her opinion of his bad treatment of Millicent. And immediately after that, she admits that if his mockery of the rest of the people in the room was written down, it wouldn’t look as entertaining as it felt at the time.

Third warning: he’s actively toying with her by flirting with another woman and then using that to try to get her to say she’s in love with him without having made any committment to her himself. That was not done at the time, and is a power play on his part.

Fourth, which is a bit subtler: in Helen’s conversation with her aunt, she says, “sometimes he says that if he had me always by his side he should never do or say a wicked thing, and that a little daily talk with me would make him quite a saint.” (It’s reinforced a bit by him calling her an angel in the conversation where he’s trying to get her to confess her feelings, right before her aunt cuts them off.) Helen may be, as she says, more thoughtful than the average 18-year-old of her acquaintance, but she’s still a fairly normal young woman, not an angel or a saint, and by treating her like one Huntingdon’s not only putting her on a pedestal, he’s moving the goalposts. If he holds up her relatively normal conduct as angelic, then that means he, a mere mortal, couldn’t reasonably be held to such lofty standards. Which has some implications for what his usual behaviour is like.

Helen’s conversation with her aunt also gives a good display of how she’s rationalized down her previously expressed standards, from needing a man to be actively good for her to love him, to “well, he hasn’t done anything actively wrong,” and from there down to “well, you can’t definitely prove he’s done anything wrong, and if he did it was other people’s fault”. (I want to say ‘she’s treating him like her blorbo’, but that’s trivializing.)

“I know nothing positive respecting his character. I only know that I have heard nothing definite against it—nothing that could be proved, at least”

And from that point, she rationalizes it down even further to, “well, if he’s bad then it’s especially virtuous for me to marry and fix him, it would be downright selfish and self-indulgent for me to marry a good man!”

Minor vocabulary note - Helen’s aunt describes Huntingdon as a “profligate” in relation to his supposed affair with a married woman. I’d always though profligate meant “spendthrift,” so this is a different usage than I’m used to.

I feel awful for Helen - she’s so young and inexperienced, and she’s being ruthlessly played by a man who’s about ten years older than her. It really goes to show where her first conversation with Gilbert near the start of the book - about young women needing to know more about what the world is like before they’re thrown into it headfirst - is coming from. Her aunt is doing her best, but social norms and propriety limit how frankly and openly, and in how mich detail, she can talk to Helen about the dangers.

And I do also feel terrible for her aunt, especially after extrapolating that she’s trying to save Helen from the kind of marriage she herself experiences! We see more of the “friend” of Helen’s uncle whom he wants her to marry, Mr. Wilmot, in this chapter, and he’s old enough to have a 25-year-old niece and is perving on an 18-year-old while drunk. That Helen’s uncle thinks that could be a good match for her says a lot about him! Helen’s aunt is in her worst nightmare here seeing Helen be entrapped; she’s trying her best to fight it, but she’s losing.

Fandom song animatic tournament: Bracket 2 Side B

The Mind Electric - Miracle Musical

"See how the brain plays around? And you fall inside a hole you couldn't see And you fall inside a hole inside a- Someone help me Understand what's going on inside my mind Doctor, I can't tell if I'm not me"

Rät - Penelope Scott

"And the worst part is I loved you, I loved you I loved you, it's true And sometimes I feel like I still fucking do I lived here, I loved here I thought it was true I'm so embarrassed I feel abused"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

The Mind Electric - Miracle Musical

Propaganda:

the CLASSIC insanity song. you have a character that goes a little crazy? a little wacky? you will see the mind electric used for them. there are more well known tally hall related songs, but this one is def the one you see the most animatics of just because its so specific to this very popular trope. of going a little wacky.

1. It's a banger. 2. It's about a man going through electric shock therapy after being accused of murder. 3. It's got animatics in fandoms from FNAF to Gravity Falls to Hermitcraft. 4. It's by Miracle Musical, AKA Tally Hall. 5. It's just awesome.

Visuals alone are absolutely insane most of the time

Animatics with the song:

QSMP

FNAF

Deltarune

Spider Man: Across The Spiderverse

Gravity Falls

Life Series Martyn

Rät - Penelope Scott

Propaganda:

not only is the song a banger and a half, it fits SO MANY FOLKS SO WELL and was the song for my first full animatic, though not with the character I thought I was gonna make it for initially ^^; it's about losing faith in those you idolize. it's about kids who grew up and realized this isn't what they wanted. it's about how hard it is to let go despite all that because you still care or see them as good. it's about trying to be like those you look up to and finding out too late what that means. (...in my case, this is a song about what happens when a program is too human and expected not to act as such or lash out when hurt. this is a song about a teenager who was left believing his father betrayed him and was left wanting to hurt those he once held in such high regard.)

It’s a good song and I’ve seen LOADS of animatics of it

Animatics with the song:

The Owl House

Amphibia Swap AU

DSMP

The Promised Neverland

Ace Attorney

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

(Tyrionyork) in your kuwtb / modern au who do you think listens to what music? Doesn't have to be artists (cause thats a lot of artists) just general genres etc

YAY love thinking of this stuff. ok i have a post from 2021 w some of my opinions i still broadly agree with:

quick disclaimer. my main opinion forever is these motherfuckers would NOT listen to mother mother or tally hall or cavetown or jack stauber or AJR. sansa MIGHT. but not a single other character would. im sorry to break the news to you. there is a HUGE difference between 'song that reminds you of character' and 'song character would listen to' and im sorry but robb stark is NOT listening to the oh hellos no matter how much you think soldier poet king fits him. doing the starks + theon send asks if u want a specific character :^)

ROBB he likes kanye west do not even fucking try and claim otherwise. he likes UK drill and all kinds of rap and 90s r&b. he listens to the top 40 when working out. the gayest thing he listens to is beyonce. i also think he likes country music (sorry.)

THEON oh everything. lots of electronic and if he's in charge of the aux cord he puts on whatever it most annoying and bad for the vibe. i do think he's a little bit lana del rey especially post-ramsay. definitely a barb just to be annoying. would never be honest about his music taste. is a dj :)

JON teen jon listens to paramore mcr etc but older jon likes tame impala and king gizzard. def an arctic monkeys/snow patrol/strokes/kooks kinda guy. im on the fence about mitski on the more dubious side. beach boys pet sounds. WEEZER AND NIRVANA.... lots of grunge. he and robb listen to wu tang and NWA together. can play guitar and did wonderwall oasis for ygritte to impress her and she was like ach canae ye listen tae good music even?

SANSA swiftie all the way. i may not like the blonde devil's music but it is undeniable that sansa is a swiftie. i think she likes pop and folk. lots of female artists :) goes to pop concerts with margaery and gets vip backstage passes cos margaery is kind of a starfucker name dropper and uses it to impress sansa on dates. can play piano and maybe also flute or violin...

ARYA everything that gives you tinnitus. heavy metal industrial noise. bonds with jon over grunge. punk and grindcore. every kind of metal you can think of. and yes she is a juggalo. she likes insane clown posse (argue with the wall) her and gendry + lommy + hot pie are in a terrible band together. plays drums FOR SURE

BRAN beatles :) psychedelic rock.... i still see him as pretentious about music 😭 listens to pink floyd The Wall high with the reeds. makes music in garageband its actually pretty good.

RICKON he is also a juggalo

#not dragging people with mother mother on their robb playlists or whatever. my theon playlist is SOOOO embarrassing #modern au #this is mostly a repost of my old post im sorry!! i just havent changed my opinion i guess LMAO it seems i do not grow as a person #asoiaf #i didnt go very far into any of the characters just a quick coupel sentences based on vibes cos otherwise this post would be miles long

barks and bites and i need to share the hyperspecific lyrics in the angelacore playlist feel free to ignore

angelacore, which is a made up word i use a lot here, is my catchall word for anything that makes me think of Angela from Lobotomy Corporation/Library of Ruina.

do not expect in depth lyrical analysis on why a specific lyric makes me think of angela. this is me dropping a bunch of lyrics from 8 or 9 different songs and saying "see how this is the blue haired robot lady"

There are spoilers for both Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina.

for context: the angelacore playlist was something i started after listening to Language of the Lost by RIProducer which has the following lyrics

I don't need forgiveness I just wanna talk and for you to listen

I thought that I was safe, now I'll never be the same Tossed aside for making a scene Do I know who I pretend to be? Of whom am I a copy? Yes it made me who I am, but I'll never understand Why it had to happen to me

and heres a mix of chorus lines

On my knees, I try to crawl Fire breaking in the walls Calling out for somebody, knowing I'll get no reply

If I'm a robot or a doll Am I anything at all? Maybe a thing like me doesn't yet deserve to know

and the final chorus

Not robot nor a doll I'm not anything at all I'm just an entity finding out the way to go But these fingers and these palms Full of love despite the scars They show indisputably I have so much more to grow Oh, I can change, I can evolve I can get up when I fall I'll live contentedly, I don't need a reason why Standing tall and standing strong I have found where I belong In the arms of somebody, there is no more need to cry

the second song on the playlist is Pathological Facade by Ghost which. yeah. (cw for medicines and medical shit if you listen to it)

A year ago, I was told that I would be a miracle Something theoretical, I guess It's kinda like a psychedelic lie, and yet it tries to be A line between the villains and the rest Nostalgia from a wall of barricaded faded memories Impartial to the carnal scenery Apparently, guarantees are only found peripherally Drinking to a total mystery

Stars always watching from afar, turning who you are In the end, it left me delicately scarred beyond pathological facade Don't you find it odd? Secretarial speaking Go on, praise me like a god

(Stars always watching from afar, turning who you are is not really important to why its in the angelacore playlist but i included it because otherwise it felt weird)

Bye-bye-bye goes the time, turning on a dime Gone without a reason or a rhyme So flip a coin, let's rejoin our family in the mirror world Where everybody's crooked by design

A year ago, I was told that I would be a miracle Something theoretical, I guess It's kinda like a psychedelic lie, and yet it tries to be A line between the villains and the rest The Tower's gonna fall, and you'll silently rebuild it all Knowing someone else would be appalled You're crying as you call out Halt and move on without someone that you think a lot about

then we have fucking Hymn for a Scarecrow by Tally Hall which I have ALWAYS considered this song angelacore.

im gonna try not to post the entire fucking song but just trust me the entire song is angelacore, here is the bit that is MORE angelacore than the rest

You hang around for a living Somewhere between all the land and the sky Being by never forgiving Nobody knows you and neither do I Birds may believe at a distance You wear a grin and keep perfectly still Driven away with persistence I wonder if they have wondered or will ever wonder Ever wonder

Mother Earth's love whispered to me (and it wasn't her fault) Real is a feeling and feeling is real All of you are flowing through me But you wouldn't know how to fathom or feel When the wind blows The wind knows The wind knows Oh, scarecrow Maybe the wind knows Whether you wonder Who's calling your name Shame how nobody knows you Only who wonders if you are to blame

then we have the uncanny x deathbody mashup (gore art tw).

Attuned inside, alluded, denied I feel my breath pressed into contact Undo the seal, the vague and unreal I shouldn't pry, a child sighs and hides away

hold my hand even if i cry i need to feel like i'm human through you hold on tight till the tears run dry the things i see are a dread to undo

All this time, I've waited My death was recreated So this would last forever Accepting agony Cruel indifference, lonely sufferance Returning to a time when I was still alive

and yeah while more of this falls into uncanny i feel like deathbody fits any character who falls into the "i am a robot and yet i do not wish to be" trope (for me, deathbody is a five pebbles song)

talked about this one in the last post about the angelacore playlist but this specific lyrical cover of Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye

Stop— Every moment trapped in someone else’s hell: No love is unconditional where there is fear to be found. If that’s the case, then it may be just as well To hide it all away underground. Stop— Though I look away, I’ve seen it all before: Another ugly truth lies behind these cold, brittle locks. Dig even deeper; there must be something more: A last hope at the bottom of the box?

had to stop from posting the entire lyrics to this but GAH its so angelacore. why is angela and satori the same character (they are objectively NOT)

now we have hello world by Louie Zong, which is the shortest little song on the list, but its there.

Hello, world Programmed to work and not to feel Not even sure that this is real Hello, world

next there's JubyPhonic's cover of Dramaturgy

Knew it already fine, misery inside At myself, I would laugh, fallen down behind But I don't know a thing, love or losing, see? So I threw to the side any human in me If I live a lie of shallow words and empty replies "Then what am I?" Hitting the walls of a stage that I couldn’t break Then it stuck to my head, gotta run away Playing out like a scene, posing every lead Near the end of the show, waiting in the wing, see? Run to the front stage, you're all actors anyway No one to watch, you're all part of the play

There’s no one inside me There's no one that's hiding Always been me, empty, a body but nobody here to see

We were young, never bound by a single sin Til before we could see, we were monsters in skin But even if I had tried to move on why can't I leave my past? "Considering it's you, better give up soon" "Cause no matter what you do, you will always lose" And then I was alone way before I knew Blocking every little thought that I couldn't sit through All they want now is safety from what's around Waiting for help but never learning how

The world that I locked out is nowhere to find The people who mocked me are gone from my sight Emotions and feelings are useless to keep The tears that had fallen were not mine to mine weep The kindness and warmth, I can't feel them at all The hands that are offered, I'm scared that I’ll fall The hole dug inside me can't hold any love Instead, you can see me break down from above Hey, remember when you saw that they were nearing their end? And you looked like you were laughing at the pain they were in But what did you see? Oh, really what could it be Well, take a breath 'cause you'll need it, so c'mon, saying

overall the song is very angelacore (because of the whole concept of dramaturgical theory

then we have Dizzy Paranoia Girl by VocaloKAT.

Expectations high from the start I’ll just mess it up “Congratulations, you fell apart” Fuck, I messed it up! They tell me I just need to grow up But I know that they think that I’m not enough Pirouette your view and you’ll see There’s no cure for burnt out and naive

Spinning all around, I think I spun out My fault by default Thoughts racing up and down, oh what to do now? Follow protocol But I hate this, I don’t wanna play ball I just wanna end this once and for all

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Laugh through every day No matter what I do, nobody has a clue, life’s always been this way I hate hate hate hate this arbitrary game No matter what you heard, you’ll never hear the words nobody dares to say

Stab me with an IV But I know you won’t protect me And I can’t keep on ignoring When you make me wanna bleed Cynicism inbound Common sense nowhere to be found I’ll bottle up the thought that I'd be better off left underground

Think I’m at the end of a road traveled far too long And I keep screaming out the lyrics of this idiotic song Hate me just because I never wanna play along But I don’t wanna live a life where I live in the wrong

and finally, Left Behind Generation by VocaloKAT (s//cide tw according to vocaloid lyrics wiki)

Playing pretend, praying that one day this will end All of us already know the support’s for show, and they all let go Maybe one day, one day We won’t have to take our mistakes to the grave Give your heart and your soul, down to the bone, just to fight alone

So tell us How can we keep on living life? As every other person passes by We cross our hearts and hope to die another million times And if all of the effort was in vain If nothing was ever worth the pain We’ll try again Until the end

So tell me Why I should keep on living life While every other person passes by I’ll cross my heart and hope to die another million times And if all of the effort was in vain If nothing was ever worth the pain We'll sit and obey just to get thrown away

thats everything on the playlist right now. maybe one day I'll do a more in depth lyrical analysis on why these specific lyrics but. i am going to go insane if i do not post this soon.

#library of ruina stuff #evora original #pancake was here #do i want this in main tags? actually yeah #angela lor #library of ruina

Not a request, but!! Thoughts on Pinkerton?

pinkerton is their best album easily. or at least my personal favourite (i could see arguments for blue and ewbaite).

pinkerton is definitely the most exciting and interesting album musically, it has a feel to it that i don’t think any of the other albums truly capture. the louder, rougher sound is unique for them and an incredible listening experience and the lyrics are truly something special. rivers writes so well on this album and it’s really interesting to hear the brutally honest wording.

pinkerton was my 2nd most listened to album last year (just after black parade) with like a full 25 hours spent listening to it it’s incredible, 10/10 album

you know what screw it, track by track opinions:

Tired of Sex - really good opening to the album, it introduces the tone of the whole project perfectly. i’m amazed at how well it translates onto pinkerton from SFTBLH, they managed to change it just enough to provide a fantastic opening. the kind of drone on the vocals emphasises rivers exhaustion with his current lifestyle very neatly and the sudden bursts of noise starting up as the lyrics become angrier is gnarly as hell i love the loud guitar

Getchoo - this one hits like crazy i love the sound of the chorus, the little ah-hAH right at the end of it when it goes slightly higher scratches the brain itch just right. the actual characters of the song feel so real, the whole album feels real, and it’s actually mint.

No Other One - same deal with the characters, this is gonna mostly just be me reiterating that Rivers killed it with the songwriting here. absolutely love this song, the long, winding intro kicking in suddenly with the bM-bm-Bm-bm-BM is heavenly, it’s a truly lovely melody (i have no clue how music actually works) and makes for a fantastic song, one of the best on the album

Why Bother? - this one makes me go bananas it’s so quick and fast and speedy and other synonyms and it just mmmmm good track good song everything explodes and i love it. also you guys know Rob Cantor from Tally Hall did a cover of this song for a Pinkerton tribute album and it’s really sick

Across the Sea - oh boy this is it this is the track where my opinion gets the account shut down. it’s good man it’s really good this song really hits. like obviously the lyrics are- they’re fucked they’re fucked up, but they’re honest and the fact that this song even exists at all and weezer put it on the album means a lot and made huge strides in musical lyricism as a whole. i honestly really enjoy it. and like it sounds good instrumentally as well the little piano noodles are so funny and chimey and cool and the repeating of the actual “i got your letter, you got my song” tune by the guitar immediately after it is nice it makes me happy

The Good Life - fucking insane track blam blam blam i love it i love it i love it. it’s time he got back. the actual historical elements of Rivers life that tie into this track is very interesting in regards to the weezer lore. this is a loud song and it’s a crazy song and everything about it is good and everyone should go listen to the good life

El Scorcho - now this is the song of all time. the lyrics are so silly goofy i adore them, he’ll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon man (the sudden slam i tot he chorus from that line is so good as well). Matt Sharps back in vocals are really nice to listen to, it isn’t his best vocal performance in the songs he was on but it’s very nice, and Brian Bells first ever vocal performance on a studio album (pretty sure he sang on the longtime sunshine recording earlier) is slaying honestly. that whole section of the song slams me violently back into the wall with some invisible force everytime i listen to it i mean how stupid is it i can’t talk about it i’ve gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart. anyway el scorcho good song ay carumba

Pink Triangle - funny funny gay song. unironically though this one is pretty perfect the instrumentals throughout the entire song is completely solid and i mean the lyrics are- they put my kind in the weezer lyrics. (actual history element of this is one of my favourite pasty’s of weezer lore, girl it’s about heard the song and it turns out she isn’t even a lesbian)

Falling For You - this one is my favourite weezer song. in my top 3 songs of all time alongside MCR - Mama and Komm Sußer Todd. it is, and it doesn’t feel like it the first time, but it is genuinely one of the greatest songs ever made. just listen to it. listen to the album. every little detail from the japanese voicelines in static at the beginning to the perfect melody and loudness of the chorus to the way all of the verses flow like that to the way he says little old three chord me (such a good line such a good line i am so normal) to the screaming the title in the final chorus. it’s immaculate. i love weezer pinkerton

Butterfly - this track is divisive. most people either think it’s the only good part of the album or it isn’t worth listening to after the rest of it. these people are incorrect. it’s a perfect closer for the album, after all the bangers, this is the mash to make, the full- bangers and mash. i actually do love the concept of winding it down at the end of the album like this and butterfly is really exactly how to do that. it’s beautiful and a really profound and perfect way to call back to the rest of the album and reflect on all the beautiful themes and concepts touched on. and hey, if butterfly doesn’t do it for you, you always have…

THE BONUS TRACKS ON PINKERTON DELUXE

oh baby those bonus tracks

i won’t talk about all of these specifically but Devotion, I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams, Longtime Sunshine and Tragic Girl are all favourites of mine. blast off! too even though that’s not actually on pinkerton deluxe. Songs From The Black Hole was an incredibly interesting concept and a lot of the unused tracks from it or parts that were worked on to pinkerton also stand as incredible pieces of art

so in conclusion:

what have we learned today

pinkerton is one of the greatest albums of the 90s, one of the greatest albums of all time, and everyone should listen to and love pinkerton

i am so normal about weezer

#weezer #pinkerton #this is my most autistic post yet #thank you lizardkid777 #again #this ask has ruined me

Hello im. Sorry to bother you but I see you on my dash as "the will wood person"(well also the tf2 person and the wof person but that doesn't pertain to this) and was thinking about listening to his stuff but idk where to start do you got any recommendations?

Yippee!! I managed to be so Demented about William Woodard that it made me the "Will Wood person" to somebody :))) That's so silly

Okay, so recommendations. It's...really quite difficult to recommend stuff from Will because a lot of his music is quite varied and it kinda just depends on what music you've already listened to. If you've gone down the Jack Stauber, Tally Hall, or Lemon Demon path, chances are you're going to be somewhat on board with his music.

Will Wood is an experimental music artist who never exactly sticks to one sound. He said he doesn't quite like it. Self-Ish, his second album, he considers a concept album due to the fact that it's mostly grungy and rough vocals with frantic and wild instrumentals all with lyrics spouting stuff relating to a singular theme. However, if you ask me there are some things about him that stick out as being "Will Wood".

Piano. A lot of his songs have piano. In some places, what other songs would have as a guitar riff, is a piano bit. Piano (along with the baritone ukulele and also occasionally glockenspiel) is his main instrument.

Jazzy instruments. Saxophones, trumpets, all that. In his latest main album, In Case I Make It, Will forgos that sort of jazzy tunes a lot in favour of more calm and folk songs, but they still linger.

Tons and tons of lyrics. Will's lyricism is one of the main draws of his music to me. He often writes about his own experiences with his mental health and struggles in his songs. Themes of mental illness, being loved despite being human, and generally just being a person trying to get through this messy, cold world.

Yeah that's about goes for the constants.

Okay, so, depending on your music taste, I don't know how to quite recommend stuff. His newer album, In Case I Make It, is a lot more folksy and softer than his previous work. It still has that Will Wood flare, but just with less loud screaming matches between Will and an alto sax. His earliest albums (Everything is a Lot and Self-Ish) are more edgy and dark with those grungy and gravely vocals. The Normal Album is a middle ground.

I personally believe the best way to experience Will Wood is to listen to the albums, but for individual songs? Here's some ordered from softer to more intense.

Skeleton Appreciation Day (Bones), Everything is a Lot

When Somebody Needs You [Song], Camp Here & There

That's Enough, Let's Get You Home., In Case I Make It

White Noise, In Case I Make It

Venetian Blind Man, Camp Here & There

...well, better than the alternative, The Normal Album

Falling Up, In Case I Make It

Against the Kitchen Floor, In Case I Make It

The Main Character, In Case I Make It

Memento Mori, The Normal Album

Laplace's Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!), The Normal Album

I/Me/Myself, The Normal Album

Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialects, but I Need You To Leave, The Normal Album

BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA, The Normal Album

Suburbia Overture, The Normal Album

The Song With Five Names, Self-Ish

Mr. Capgras, Self-Ish

6up 5oh Cop-Out (Pro/Con), Everything is a Lot

Dr. Sunshine is Dead, Self-Ish

Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!, Self-Ish

Aaannnddd if we're giving song recommendations, I also highly, HIGHLY recommend checking out his live stuff. Not just his live albums (those are fantastic though), but live performances recorded of him. They range from in-studio and professionally done recordings to somebody with a phone. I love them.

Here are some performances I recommended for one reason or another.

The entire BBQ show, as it shows off Will's character a lot as well as being fairly charming and fun (also good music)

Marsha Live in the Studio

Mr. Capgras (this one's I think something he did with patreon people)

Mr. Capgras/White Knuckle Jerk (WFMU radio)

Yeah that's about everything off the top of my head. See ya.

analysis/description (in some cases) of Chonny Jash’s Tally Hall/Joe Hawley/Miracle Musical covers because apparently the new hyperfixation has emerged. Most of these are just my interpretation, and there’s many ways someone can interpret these! (I would like to say i am no academic genius or anything, i get Bs in english, at best an A- every so often, this is nothing professional so i’m not trying to make it sound professional, this is just me rambling about a thing i like a totally normal amount)

Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to add to this analysis

TW: Talks of suicide (i mean it when i say let me know if i missed any TWs! I can be incredibly dumb sometimes and miss/forget them)

Analysis under cut

Spring & a storm + Never meant to know:

It's a bit difficult to relate these ones to the CJ’s narrative, since there’s no added or changed lyrics (aside from an added line in S&aS that goes “So observe these blues and greens, and embrace this harmony, all you see and you and me, we came from the stars …”) you also can’t find heart or mind (and potentially soul?) in them.

We do know that this may be intentional though, seeing as not long ago CJ redid the “Spring & a Storm” cover. They might be made to make the covers look relatively normal, just of a guy covering a band he likes, until it's not that of course.

Hidden in the sand:

This is where it gets a bit more like the Chonny Jash we know and love. From what i’ve gathered this one is about a man who gets rejected by a woman. The man tries to write her a song to try “win her back,” but his frustration at her and life in general leads him to make the lyrics sound angry and resentful, maybe not intentionally. Even when the frustration went away, he couldn’t make the lyrics work.

This is a fun one, and one of my favorites of CJ’s covers. Still no immediate sign of Mind or Heart in this one, though there is some speculation this one is sung by Heart instead of Soul, since in the Mucka Blucka cover, he’s the one to make the reference to Hidden in the sand, as well as the reference to the Haiku cover — which is most likely based on the same or similar situations.

Ruler of Everything:

Now THIS cover is where it gets good. It starts off with the usual lyrics of “Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had, so he shot at the sun with a gun …” Until it quickly shifts into the usual CJ sound, also with our first traces of Mind! Right away when listening to the next part talking about how “Juno” in this situation missed, and so he “got what he deserved,” you can easily hear Mind singing along with Soul. Even in the beginning you can very barely hear Mind singing, until you can hear him much better in the next part.

The paragraph immediately after that doesn’t include Mind, although the next pre-chorus you can very easily hear our bestie again.

“Juno” in this situation is most likely to be Heart, when you listen to Mind’s attitude towards him as well as the evidence in Mucka Blucka: “And right is he (i) missed, my eyes in a mist, i finally realised, i shot at myself …” Here Heart is the one to say “I” instead of “he” in that first line, as well as the rest of that verse.

Speaking of this next pre-chorus, the lyrics go as follows: “You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything …” Now as we know, Mind is VERY commonly referred to as an “automaton” or “robotic”, most often by Heart. This is probably due to his habit of using logic and reasoning instead of his emotions. Knowing this, makes that line very interesting! Going back to Mucka Blucka YET AGAIN we are looking at the reference to Ruler of Everything where the lyrics go: “But mechanical hands decided where the heart would be: Just apathy.” This also includes CJ’s cover of Just Apathy, which we’ll get into later. This probably means that, as a result of Heart trying to shoot Mind, they end up having a chat where Mind explains his reasoning for never using his emotions to dictate decisions, or something like that to be honest I got a bit lost on that one.

Now we get to the “do you like how i walk” part, which is sung by both Heart and Mind, Heart of course doing the “goofier” lyrics with Mind butting in to sing the “consequential” line, i'm not typing the whole verse out. When Heart sings the “disintegrates into chalk” line, this may be an allusion to his blindness, it clearly has a bit more importance seeing as Mind also joins in when he sings this, who knows though.

The first half of the flibbity-jibber-jabber verse (yes, that one) seems to be sung by our boy Soul, with the second part sung by Heart and Mind. The lyrics don’t really change from the original here, but my bets are they’re all going through some sort of either identity or existential crisis.

And finally, the last verse is sung in a duet by both Heart and Mind, both singing specifically about mind, with the only lyrical variation between the two versions being Heart says “you” while Mind says “I”. This is probably Heart accepting that Mind does have the high ground in this situation, and there’s not much he can do about it.

Variations on a Cloud:

This cover is a doozy! Mainly just a trio between Heart, Mind and Soul with some lyrical changes (mainly being from Soul). This is excluding one of the last parts, where the three start singing all at once completely out of harmony.

In this part Soul’s lyrics are almost completely original, where one of his lyrics is: “They say we're not worth the time, they wouldn’t spare us a dime, while they spend all their days devouring cocaine and wine,” This seems to be a jab at people who don’t do anything to help others who need it, such as people mental illnesses or physical diseases, even though they have the funding to do so.

This also includes another one of Soul’s lines: “I’ve suffered agony, relentlessly, helplessly since you came,” He’s probably saying this to Heart and Mind, for obvious reasons.

Also on that last line, “Join if you wish,” it might say something if Heart’s was the one to stick around the longest before all the texts disappeared, idk just something to point out.

I’m sure there’s more to this one, but I couldn’t find much for it apart from that last section.

Bad Day:

This one’s a bit more complicated, it doesn’t seem to directly include Mind or Heart in it.

There’s a good chance this one isn’t involved in the narrative being built here and was just a song about CJ’s health, which is what it most likely is. Though there are a few lyrics that feel a bit off, such as the repeated line of “let us sing,” as well as “you want me to sing? Fine,” But it’s also very easy to tie this to Chonny’s fans requesting songs so often, who knows.

It might also be a way of speaking the truth about one’s health instead of just the normal lyrics, which I got from the last part of the song where it goes: “Fine I'll play the happy version, free from sadness and perversion, eyes be blocked from devastation …” but who knows with this one.

Haiku:

Haiku!!! Love this one, really nice and wholesome amirite haha. Anyway, going back to Hidden in the sand, there’s a good chance this cover is likely based on the same story as Hidden. The first half of this song is about a man trying to figure out how to write a haiku for someone.

The next half is the actual haiku, which seems normal at first, until in typical Mr. Jash fashion, it turns out our subject has been stabbed, where at first he thought the love-interest had stabbed him, saying “i swore that i smelled your smell” until it goes on to say “but i stabbed myself,”

From what I've gathered, he asked a lady out, and she rejected him, so he tried to write a haiku/song for her, which he struggled to write for a while, until he finally did it, but it still wasn’t enough for her as she turned him down again.

Let’s see if this relates to the Heart, Mind and Soul narrative. At first glance it doesn’t seem like it does, but when you look more into it (as well as the Mucka Blucka cover referencing BOTH songs), you might be able to see it at least has some symbolism to Heart and Mind’s fallout.

Banana Man:

This one probably doesn’t have as much to do with our narrative we're analyzing here, mainly meant to criticise the issues with the original song, so I won’t be saying too much about it.

I suppose It CAN still be debated that it DOES include Mind and Heart, seeing as you do have a voice with Mind’s lower octave, as well as a few lines that might reference them, such as the part that goes: “forget about the voices lying deep inside, the one that’s screaming screaming and screeching, proclaiming wrong and right,” although that line can also very well be interpreted as someone’s morals that might say “hey this is kinda weird,” so we’ll see.

It states in the cover’s description that the song is meant to over-dramatize an argument Jash may have been having with a “past version of himself as well as people who refuse to acknowledge things that can be good but have problems” so this cover is most likely just that, not really much to do with our narrative and more about the problems with the song.

There is still some evidence of Mucka Blucka briefly referencing the song in the cover, as well as some of the lyrics and of course, being able to hear a voice similar to Mind’s in it, so maybe they’re vaguely involved, idk.

We’re Gonna Win:

Now THIS is a good one! I’d say this cover is where it really starts getting into the narrative of our favourite guys, with the “plots” of each song being a bit more clear.

This cover, as we know if you’ve heard it, is a combination cover of Rob Cantor’s “I’m gonna win” and Tally Hall’s “All of my friends”, and it’s definitely one of my top 5 fav covers!

The song starts with the first verse and chorus of Cantor’s “I'm gonna win,” seemingly being another trio between Heart, Mind and potentially Soul, though the chorus does sing a bit of “all of my friends” sung by Mind.

There’s a brief intermission with a distinct “click” sound, similar to a finger click or a light switch, before the second verse and chorus switches to the lyrics of “all of my friends” with a bit of “im gonna win” in the background also sung by Mind.

It then goes into the bridge, where the first actual lyrical change happens, where instead of saying either song’s actual lyrics, it goes “but we’re not so different, you see” before it goes back into both of the songs’ respective lyrics sung by both Heart and Mind, until they start singing at once, “but it’s just you and me, it’s just myself and I, we are all that we need, we are all that survives,” Now i don’t normally bring up the actual music video here, but it might be important to mention that this next part i’m gonna talk about here, up until this point as usual, Mind and Heart’s sections have been split up as black and white, but here it is entirely black, with the funny little face you see so often appearing coloured. Coolie!

In this section they are almost singing in harmony, with only the lyrics being different and some parts being dragged out a bit more. Here is possibly one of the few times they’ve been in agreement about something, basically singing about how they’ve harmonized their tones, but they’re not done, they’ll keep singing no matter what until they're “dead in the ground.” fun times!

So one can depict this as the boys finally coming to an agreement about something, at least (most likely) temporarily. That’s how i’m gonna depict it as there’s not much else to see it as.

Welcome to Tally Hall:

This is the one where we finally got the name for this little narrative, “Chonny Charming Chaos Compendium” quite a mouthful! And why i’m just calling it CCCC.

This one mostly seems like an introduction to the Jash himself, at least for the first half. When we get to the second half, we hear our first glimpses of Heart and Mind, who sing their own parts for a bit, with yet another reference to mind being some sort of robot. Whereas the first half seemed fairly normal and was just him covering the song normally, the first bit of the second half is much more like Chonny Jash’s usual style, until it goes back into the ‘normal’ cover.

Like i said, seems mostly like an introduction to Jash himself, admittedly I don’t listen to this one as much (im so sorry) so i haven’t had as much time to hyper analyse it, but maybe i’ll come back to this one day and look more into it.

Just Apathy:

I love this one! It’s so good! Definitely an underrated one compared to the others, for both Chonny and Tally Hall!

This one is fairly easy to understand, it seems to be an exchange between Mind and Soul, (or Mind and Heart, it’s a bit hard to tell) with a bit of Heart/Soul appearing at times. It seems to be highlighting their apathy to things in general, and trying to justify it.

“I’m sick and tired of holding fire, when all I feel is violence,” Wanted to single this line out, firstly, because i want to MARRY it, it is AMAZING, and also because, it being sung by Heart, can also allude to the grudges he holds.

Greener:

This one is mostly a metaphor, the “yards” being mental health. And Soul is either experiencing mania, delusional or is actually doing a bit better here. Mind also briefly shows up in this one to state that he doesn’t think this better mental health state will last, so thank you Mind appreciate it.

This one seems to be our subject, potentially Soul, seeing someone’s mental state is pretty bad and being like “same bestie,”

I haven’t got as much to say about this one either, this one is a bit clearer to me than others have been, so that’s gamers champion.

The Whole World & You:

This one is always gonna be in my top 5 favourites because it’s actually the one to introduce me to CJ in the first place! That’s right, not the mind electric, so there’s a few bragging rights for me.

This is a very funky one, with Mind very prominent in it, not so sure Heart is though - still unsure if this is Soul or Heart singing in this, but it seems like Soul so i’ll say it’s Soul. This one seems like, partially, a eulogy to Tally Hall, while also bringing our favourite CCCC lads into it.

As usual with some of the covers Jash does, it starts off sounding like a “normal” cover, before it goes into the narrative we’re familiar with. I should mention, they’ve been mention “Blues and greens” a lot in these recent covers, including greener, and this one, probably as a reference to the first cover he did, Spring & a storm.

We also hear a small tease to the mind electric when he says “Love, duality” at 1:29, ain’t that fun, speaking of this part. An interesting line would be when he says “So when the darker side had found out about the songs, i’d hidden for so long, i finally had the courage to say say ‘this is what i can do’” While Mind is heard singing in the background the whole time about him passing his “test”, this might be him talking about or TO Heart, but it’s a bit dubious.

The next part, when analysing the lyrics, seems fairly passive aggressive, with Soul (or Heart) saying “I hope you’re happy now, I've merged dark and light,” And Mind adds in “I must admit you took your sweet time,” in response. He then says “This slope I'm headed down has turned to a slide,” and mind’s line is “I always knew that we could be intertwined,” and finally Soul/heart says “So i’ll throw my hands up high and enjoy the ride,” while Mind says “You played Dr. Jekyll so I played Mr. Hyde” and the back and forth goes on for a bit, until they finally say at once “But at least now i’m mine,”

It then goes on for both of them to start singing “Please don’t just laugh and clap right now, this is serious, i'm not delirious,” which is most likely in reference to that last line, and how others may not believe it, perhaps the other side that wasn’t featured in this song.

After that the eulogy for Tally Hall happens, we know this because he says “consider this a eulogy to the colourly band that used to be” (And colourly is definitely a word trust me The Jash said so)

Be Born:

This one is a big one, and definitely a cover i need to listen to more often

This one seems to be sung by Mind, directed at Soul, saying there’s no good or evil here, they’re both just fucked up individuals who rlly need some therapy (paraphrasing), “But what if I told you, I am not the villain? What if I told you, you’re the same as I? …”

Also included are the first glimpses of their names (since we haven’t had any mention of their names til this point) by mentioning Heart and Mind a few times.

It also repeats how at one point, Mind was the one in charge, but not anymore, probably due to our buddy Soul.

So basically Mind humbles Soul THOROUGHLY in this song. Including the end, where Mind states, directed at Soul, “these facts entwine to form a sign, to craft your voice in heart and mind. So make your choice, and make it right. Will we be ours? Or will you die?” So basically, Soul has to choose between the two of them, or else he’ll just run himself into the ground from depression. Yay..!

Going back to the idea that Mind used to be the host, now run by Soul or Heart, it seems like whichever one is “running the vessel” is, consequently, getting very tired of it, as Mind says “So if you’re sick, and if you’re tired, then soothe your heart with songs inspired,” This seems to also be directed at Soul, due to that last point of him saying that Soul has to make a decision.

Special:

From Soul’s perspective, it mainly seems to be about his struggles in terms of his morals and how ‘special’ he is.

One line that is definitely in reference to Heart and Mind would be: “If there’s one person in this world that I can’t trick it’s myself,” It’s pretty self-explanatory. Soul can’t lie to Mind and Heart, they know about him too well.

He later goes on to say “And anyway, who am I to fret like this? Maybe a keychange can pull me out of this abyss.” The tone of the song changes significantly, going on to say with a more hopeful tone to it “Sooner or later I shall find myself and make amends with the me left on the shelf,” Soul wants to make amends with Mind (we can tell the “me left on the shelf” is Mind thanks to our bestie Mucka Blucka cover, where it references this, and the “me left on the shelf” part is sung by the one and only automaton man)

They eventually go on to sing 4 different lyrics at once, two being the usual special lyrics (one of which uses we/us pronouns instead of i/me pronouns, and also fades into the lyrics of Time Machine by Miracle Musical) and the other two being two different sets of lyrics from Variations on a cloud.

This is also the cover where he starts using live action more instead of just the funky little face with lyrics and blacks and whites.

Two Wuv:

Again, from Soul’s perspective, but more about the public’s opinion of his duality. Specifically, parents, family, as well as churches and whatnot.

“Father, saint and Mary, I hope you understand … I think that you’ve been playing this wrong, I've come around a thousand times but I'm still singing this song,” This line is directed at the churches, how he’s gone there so many times but praying has never worked, he’s still making this music, he’s still got issues.

“I wrote a couple rhymes, over tunes I didn’t write, In an attempt to reconcile what keeps me up at night,” In reference to the last song, where Soul tried to make amends with Mind.

You can also use the next line, “But as ideas began to grow, and the tracklist followed suit, the halves I once reviled had finally settled their dispute,” the songs and ideas are a metaphor for Soul’s mental state, and when it started deteriorating, Mind and Heart decided to “settle their dispute”. This is also told from Mind’s perspective in "Storm & a Spring,” where he sees a “soul so deep, and dark, and eternally cold, and an oath formed from us both that it would stay whole,” Mind and Heart made an oath to keep Soul together.

“The person you see is a dark, divided man, but the fact is that is just who I am, and I can’t keep selling this facade when I know that it’s a scam,” This one is fairly self-explanatory, his family knows that he is suffering like this, but he’s come to accept it, and he can’t keep acting like he’s okay when everyone knows he’s not.

“But I think for the first time in my life, that these oddities that bonded me aren’t worth the fucking strife,” Despite Mind and Heart making an oath to keep Soul bonded, he can’t deal with them and the constant alienation from society they bring him.

“Fog so thick and hazy” may be a reference to Heart’s blindness, as well as the one quote from Mucka Blucka “… My eyes in a mist, I finally realised I shot at myself …” though it feels a bit out of place, so possibly not.

This is also the cover where CJ brings the boys signature colours into the videos, the electric guitar having a blue edge, likely to symbolise it’s Mind playing the guitar.

This can also have two meanings to it, obviously the one we’ve just covered, but also the idea of being queer in a christian household or town, and having to deal with the issues that brings. “I refuse to be the person that my parents eulogise,” and “… But i’m an egoistic queer under any definition of the word,” these are normally interpreted as coming out to your parents and them not accepting you or being different to what they wanted you to be. The line “Fog so thick and hazy, calls for holy light,” can be in reference to how people might say he needs “God’s guidance”.

The Bidding:

This is a good one! First song I was there to experience be released, it’s also in the favs list. This is mostly Mind and Heart arguing while Soul suffers in the background. I'm not gonna go hugely into detail with every little line in this one for Heart and Mind’s parts because it can all be summed up as “they fightin’” but i’ll go more into detail for Soul’s and whatnot.

Mind seems pretty much tired of the arguments, but still adding to them and egging Heart on. He points out how Heart keeps “putting in his dimes” or, contributing to the argument.

Heart’s part is him pointing out Mind’s hypocrisy, and how he is doing the exact same thing he is, yet he acts so much higher than Heart.

Soul’s chorus is him trying to get them to stop arguing, saying “time is short, life even more, yet you wage this silly war,” they have these petty arguments so often they’re letting life pass them by. He then threatens to “tie the rope” if you catch my drift.

The next part of the chorus is Mind and Heart singing in harmony about how they have been in “total agony” ever since the other came around, they then lose the harmony, going back to insulting each other.

Soul obviously notices that temporary harmony, and urges them to try again, saying that even if it is just from them insulting each other like children they harmonised none-the-less, saying even if they won’t do it for each other, he wants them to do it for him, that he doesn’t know how much more he can take of their arguing, but if they can harmonise maybe he can finally be himself.

In this section they are briefly able to harmonise to say one word, and then say the last sentence “this dissonance could disappear” in harmony. Let's go girlies!

Mucka Blucka:

Hooey! finally the song i mentioned so much! to be fair it’s absolutely littered with references that are really useful for evidence, soooo…

This one seems like a sort of recap of Mind, Heart and Soul’s characters, with several references to past songs as well as the very much more in-your-face reveal of our boys' names (though technically they were revealed last song, but I didn’t notice that until 20 minutes ago soo… shhhh) and also the plethora of chicken puns.

We also get a retelling of Heart and Mind’s fallout, where Heart shot at Mind, which led to Heart going blind, and him realising that he kind of brought that upon himself.

Time Machine by MM also makes a reappearance in this one, at the very end using the melody of the original song.

The state they’re all in is often described as a “personal hell” or the likes, they’re all trapped and suffering for eternity here.

“It’s painful to admit, but even I can see through my bullshit,” can be seen as a reference to the Special cover, where Soul mentions how he can’t really trick himself, aka Mind and Heart.

Dream:

Mind and Heart’s fights have gotten worse, seemingly physical, and Soul seems to be getting increasingly paranoid, thinking they’re trying to take control and probably kill him.

You may have noticed, Mind and Heart have not been trying to do this, they’ve been far too busy being mad at eachother. Outside of them arguing, they’ve still been trying to keep Soul together (as far as i’m aware) so them trying to kill him is a bit contradictory, isn’t it? But maybe they don’t realise that their arguing is slowly breaking Soul down, mentally and possibly physically, so he may be assuming they’re doing this on purpose to usurp him.

Still they’re arguing, and it seems in this song Mind and Heart are possibly getting ready for another fight, and Soul is having a breakdown over it because he wants to live, so he decides to try one more time, what this is? I have no clue, it’s probably obvious and i’m just stupid and sleep deprived, maybe something like giving them one more chance to sort their issues i have no idea.

The Heart Acoustic:

Yeah that’s right i’m splitting them up. You’ll catch me dead before I put the TWELVE MINUTE SONG into it’s own section. Fuck that.

Anyway, here’s where we first see Heart’s face with the blindfold, as well as his perspective on things. It seems He wants everyone to stay alive, but he knows that “one plus one can’t equal two if happiness is both our truths,” He knows that Soul will have to pick ONE of them.

It’s also where we first see signs of Heart’s chest pains, since he’s seen several times holding his chest in the way someone would if it was hurting.

“… And you beg for it to stop, but you’ve already dug your lot in the ground,” This line is likely in reference to later on in the song, during Mind’s part where he mentions how Heart “fell into a hole he dug for him”

He antagonises Mind saying he tricked Soul into becoming what it is, and while he certainly had a part in it, if we’re talking about the constant arguments wearing Soul down, we know that both of them had a part in that.

In the last verse of Heart’s acoustic, he once again calls Mind an “automaton freak” and saying he doesn’t care anymore, the “vessel” is becoming worn.

I also noticed how Heart barely gets that last “fare” out before it immediately switches into Mind’s perspective, how kind.

The Mind Electric:

Mind is a really good one, although it’s the shortest, he certainly uses the time well to give us the good ol’ tiktok audios

As stated previously, Mind switches in and is IMMEDIATELY singing, like a millisecond intermission before he’s insulting Heart. You go dude, I think.

The first paragraph is pretty much a diss track on Heart, insulting him CONSTANTLY, before it shifts to the second paragraph where he keeps insulting him, but also saying his logic is the absolute!

Third paragraph is a little different, he mentions how Heart probably sees him as just a “simple, cynical machine,” (which he does, admittedly), but despite that, he still has Soul’s best interests in mind (pun not intended).

He goes on to say he doesn’t enjoy covering these songs — likely because he’s the one most often there in the covers, maybe not the main focus but he’s THERE. He then says he’s knows its “hard to see my rhyme behind the entropy, but if he’d just once humour me, he’d see we need to live life logically,” The “he” in this situation is most likely Soul, but it might be Heart.

He goes back to insulting Heart, saying he sounds profound but it’s “insincere,”

“See how his feet miss the ground, and he falls inside a hole he dug for me.” This line is in reference to Mind and Heart’s fallout, which we all know by now.

He then goes on to say “Though I seem harsh in all my assessments, we each seek a life lived in the light …” Yeah no shit half the song has been you insulting Heart, anyway, he goes on to say that they can’t live in this “light” because Heart has been hella resentful and stubborn.

And now unlike the transition between Heart to Mind, the transition from Mind to Soul is much different. Mind gets PLENTY of time to say that last word, in fact he gets to enunciate the T iin “akaryocyte” before it switches, lucky him!

The Soul Eclectic:

Now unlike Mind’s part, Soul waits like a whole 10 years before singing, adding distortions and instrumentals for a whole 5 second intermission before the “Yo”.

He introduces himself to the audience as The Soul, his name (which he promptly doesn’t say, thanks man), your host or insane. The whole range!

Mind and Heart then butt in briefly to once again try to persuade Soul to make a choice on who to pick, through insults at each other, ofc.

Now Soul is much different in this song, he’s aggressive and snippy, probably at his limit, saying “you seem to forget, you answer to me,” reminding them that they can’t be too pushy or smth idk.

He still goes on to say however, that neither Heart or Mind is wrong or right.

“You must be so arrogant to think that either of you can control The Soul so wholly, when to be one whole you can’t hold solely” This one’s pretty self-explanatory. He’s reminding them that it needs to either be BOTH of them in harmony here, or that it would have to be shared with Soul himself.

The next verse is another reminder of his power over the two, he’s the “lord” in this situation.

After an intermission, he goes on to say “‘Cos I’m not nearly kind enough to leave you parasites inside me …” Fun times! Surely I don’t need to explain that one, I am very tired.

There’s another intermission, with some additional lyrics that i don’t need to get into bc we get the message, before they bring in the next section with all three saying “I am me”, not quite at once.

We then get to the serfs work the ground verse, where the lyrics remain mostly the same, except for a small shift saying “See how the brain plays around, and it splits what once was whole down into three,”

We then get to the Demo 4 section, that’s right WE GOT DEMO 4 IN THIS BITCH i literally screamed when I heard that part not even joking. Anyway, you know this you’ve probably heard the song. The first part of the Demo 4 section is sung in unison by Heart and Mind, as they pretty much insult each other repeatedly.

The next part is sung by Soul, and how they are always fighting, never hearing what the other has to say.

And then the last verse. God help me. It pans to a clip of Soul singing the last part, with his usual red lipstick, but with Heart’s nail paint and Mind’s blue guitar. He’s given Mind and Heart one last chance to sort their shit out, or else he’s gonna “take them down with him” if you know what I mean. Yeah. Fun times!

Storm & a Spring:

Mind slays yet again in this, and once again it is directed at Heart!

“One time I tried to sing … But it was nothing fucking new.” Ironically enough, this one DOESN'T seem to give much new information, but instead reinforcing some old information we got from Mind’s perspective, such as the oath and seemingly the idea that Heart can’t/won’t let them “live in the light” (likely a metaphor for healing or letting go of old grudges).

It DOES however, proposes the idea of Mind’s headaches for (I think) the first time, (at least visually) seeing as several times throughout the song he’s holding/rubbing his head.

“You thought they were listening? …” This is most likely talking about Soul, maybe both Mind and Soul, never actually listening to Heart’s laments.

“I’m sure you really sang your Heart out, … that’s how it seemed. … Looks can be deceiving.” This line might be one of the few new bits of information we get, or not and my brain didn’t connect it to anything idk. It seems like Soul/Mind tried to ‘kick Heart out’ (possibly kill him) but it didn’t work. It might also be a reference to Heart and Mind’s fallout, which resulted in Heart’s blindness, but that's a theory.

There’s also hints that Heart may have tried to off himself, but Mind stopped him because it would’ve also killed Soul, but I admit I cannot find much evidence for this outside of the song.

“So if you insist on crying, while our host is slowly dying, then i’ll cut you loose and spare this noose the deadweight,” as well as “if i left it to you, you’d fall under its weight and kill it too,” are some key points, it might also be a new event that happened between TMA and S&aS, so who knows.

Part I: Night:

Fun fact about this one, for some reason I thought the song was started by Mind for so long. Like as of writing this the song is about a month old right?? I only realised a couple of days ago that it was started off by Heart. And I'm sure you can tell by this entire post that I probably listen to Chonny Jash a bit more than the average person, right? So why the hell did I not notice it till now? My brain works in mysterious ways dawg.

Another thing I noticed when drawing them once that has absolutely nothing to do with their lore (as far as i'm aware) is the fact that Heart is absolutely DRIPLESS. Like Mind and Soul have these cool jackets going, Soul with the fur and Mind with the hot-topic, but Heart just has his hoodie and sweatpants, and I find that hilarious. I think I will draw that.

Anyway, within the first 30 seconds, as I just mentioned, the song is started off by our bestie Heart, and we can also see two fairly brief clips of Mind and Soul sitting down, facing the camera. Very interesting! Maybe they’re finally having group therapy (wishful thinking)

“Open the window, look out and see me,” This quote is started off by Heart, but then fades into Mind by time he says “out”, this is clearly meant to give the image of Heart opening the window, looking out, and seeing Mind! wow!

“Tonight, I’m arriving alive and alight, … All the black, and the gray, and the white,” The boys have finally made up! They’re “in the light”, and harmonising!

The next verse, sung by our boy Soul, seems to be him inviting Mind and Heart to “look out through” his eyes.

Basically this one seems fairly upbeat, right? The best outcome, everyone’s united, Soul doesn’t want to kill Heart or Mind, Heart and Mind don’t seem to want to kill each other, they all WANT to unite, it’s a good outcome!

Although, from what i’ve gathered of the bridge here, they’re not fully sure it’s real, something feels off, Heart and Mind still seem to be at least a little passive-aggressive, but we don’t get to hear much else about it as it fades into the last chorus.

Part II: Light:

So I'm not the greatest at expressions, especially reading them but I figured I could do it this time seeing as their faces are there this time.

Something I noticed in the first few seconds as it switches between Heart and Mind is Mind’s expression. Not really sure how to describe it, but I find it very interesting. In the first shot of him it’s pretty unreadable, he’s just staring ahead into the camera, a little stoically maybe, the second time is pretty much the same, only he blinks slowly, but the third and fourth times seem VERY interesting to me. Now it might just be the autism misinterpreting facial expressions here, but he seems almost solemn? maybe regretful even. In the third part he looks away from the camera, his eyes downturned, and the fourth is him in that same expression, looking down away from the camera.

Now that previous analysis is very interesting considering what Heart’s lyrics are going to be about. “Sitting in the sight of that which blinds [sun], tore me at the seams. Harsh palpitations that tunneled my view, eyesight grew warped, distorted and skewed.” Now anyone with a brain (That of which i certainly have and noticed the first time I heard the song yes certainly) would know that Heart is describing how and why he went blind. Heart’s eyes are extremely sensitive to light, and considering the other two want to live in the light, that is a problem! It’s likely why he wore the blindfold previously if he wasn’t blind then. Now as we established in the Night section, we know they’ve all managed to start living in the light, and so I'm sure I don’t need to explain any more.

Now the next verse is also very good (this whole song is ngl), it’s sung by our bestie Mind once again, and it seems like he’s finally having some empathy for Heart here, at least a little maybe. possibly. “Striving to be right, I fight this sordid fight against the other one,” He says, it seems like he’s finally admitting that these arguments with Heart have not been justified in any way, they’ve been stupid and infantile, simply looking to win the arguments.

“Transmute the pain to kinetic energy,” Now if you’ve taken your science classes children, you’d know that kinetic energy is the action of movement. He probably got physical with Heart at times, which we do have some evidence of in Dream, where Soul describes them as “covered in their blood and sweat,” which is not usually something that can be achieved just verbally, unless you’re in an anime maybe but I don’t think this counts as an anime.

“Tonight you’ve survived out of pity and spite, all night you have vied for your place in the light,” slay Soul, you go, clearly he’s speaking to both of them here.

“But I won’t be split in two, won’t be him or you, we will be combined whether that be dead or alive, let’s blur these lines,” He doesn’t want either of them to become him, he wants them to be combined, all sharing a place if u know what I mean.

“Please help decipher this life that we lead, for each step that we take, the answer takes three,” I got a feeling this one is directed at Heart, seeing as he would probably be least willing to figure things out or go into the light (if they’re the same, i’m not totally sure), and also the fact that Heart’s part is immediately after, and while it’s not a response, it feels like a response, yk?

After Heart’s verse, Mind and Heart then go on to sing the chorus in unison one more time (altered at the beginning to fit Soul’s “split in two” segment from before), two halves of their faces have been split to form one full face, and our boy Soul appearing at the very end with “mine,” all three then go on to take turns singing some lines about how “something must feel lest they rot,” and how things ARE different. They’re understanding each other more. “Something has shone,” seems like the best line to use.

“All of the else will fade away” they then all sing in unison, Mind and Heart’s faces split to form a whole new face, with Soul’s layered over the top.

And now this last verse sung by Heart is about him accepting the others and his own humanity. “That sad, sulking mess. This human you’re being,” FUCK OFF /pos

And finally, the second last chorus sung by Heart at first, “tonight i’m arriving alive and alight,” im sure i need not say anymore about that. It then transitions into another mix of all three faces, saying “with doubt consigned to drought let ardour sprout cos …” This brief statement basically means, even in doubt, let passion grow. Normal-wordified.

And finally, the last chorus is sung by all three mixed together still, where basically they sing about how they’re going to combine, they’re all onboard, they’re letting that “ardour sprout,” “fuse the moon, and sun, change your point of view, let us variate these hues” or, more familiarly, “blur these lines,” you go girls!

A theory I have is that Night & Light is more based on the same experience, night being the more upbeat “wow everything instantly turned out great!” ending where we’re kinda left “in the dark” about it perhaps. While Light is the more realistic approach, where they had their own struggles to go through, and still have more struggles to go through, but they’re trying now, working together, and that's a REALLY big step.

And that’s it! Final thoughts have been reposted (if you’ve already seen this and are coming back to it to see it has more added to it, you didn’t notice anything. For some reason it didn’t paste some of the end, very mean of it)

“All of the else will fade away” they then all sing in unison, Mind and Heart’s faces split to form a whole new face, with Soul’s layered over the top.

And that’s it! I’m gonna reblog this with some “final thoughts” that didn’t really need to go into the whole post.
