★ Headcannons Bill with reader who a rapper☆

n.o.t.e.s - BILL IS SO MAJESTIC AND GORGEOUS AND SO HOT AND SO WONDERFUL AND AND SOO FUCKING COOL AND SEXY, LIKE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. - also I wonder how different it would sound if there was rapper in the group.

w.a.r.n - fluff, imagines and me being a fan girl.

p.a.i.r.i.n.g - Bill kaulitz x fem!reader

w.c - 473

★ Being the rapper of the group, you have a jam session with Bill. Since you need your rhymes to sync with his lyrics, sometimes even when Tom is around, he started beatboxing and you would rap your lyrics out.

☆ You would suffer some backlash only because a) you're a girl and b) you're a woman. The fan's girls would go wild on you, like fr they would first hate you, but I see them warming up.

★ Your style would probably have the mix of Tom and Bill style together, Like definitely a snapback, oversized shirt or some bodysuit, cyber glasses, and some slap-bracelets or bead bracelets. -and just for some pizzazz a puffer jacket.

☆ -And with the crazy fan thing. Imagine you performing your stuff, and like you're in your vibe, your zone. And next thing you know you got hit with something by one of the fans in the crowd, like their phone, and ur just bleeding from your nose. And Bill just immediately rushed to you and like trying to help you out, while on stage.

★ let's just say, the fan who did. Got blacklisted.

☆ but lucky you got to finish your lyrics.

★ Imagine doing an interview with the rest of the band, and you're sitting next to Bill. After the simples question get asked like 'What do you do in your free time' or like 'favorite thing to do', and then you get asked the question, "Are you and Bill dating" your face gets red, and you just turn to Bill, who like too stunned to speak, and just blushing.

☆ lowkey, awkward and embarrassing but cute at the same timee.

★ Imagine being in the recording studio with bill, and your having a hard time writing a rhyme or like bar, and he start beatboxing, to trying to make a beat for you, but overall likes makes the both of you laugh.

☆ Bill loves the way you make bars like rhymes in your mind, he thinks there cool that out of nowhere you just start writing things down from rhyming and sounding out words.

★ Imagine, like coming up with a lyrics and you started like saying it, but it's like super fast like rap god fast, I just see bill sitting there with a smile just blinking at you and clapping from how good it was.

☆ ngl if you rap like fast in German, I feel it would sound crazy like demonic crazy.

★ He likes it when your bar goes with the rhythm of the song and it all just comes together, but it likes acapella too.

☆ definitely likes your flow and style.

★ He finds it entertaining when you rhyme two drastically different thing together and some how make it sound good, like rock and pillow

tw//suggested domestic abuse

May I request a yandere rise tmnt with a reader who's in a toxic/abusive relationship they're trying to get out of? Maybe they go to the yan for advice/help or the yan finds evidence of the abuse? Thank you and don't feel any pressure if this isn't something you're comfortable with!

(Have a Yan Leo edit cuz I felt bad not having a banner)

Ah another day of writing yan turtles reaction to MC having trauma-

Ok so I was originally going to do one with all of them and then I thought that would make more writing messy (especially on the time crunch I'm on) so I decided to do a small little piece with Mikey and Leo, since I think those two match well together in terms of yan traits (ngl they're opposites but in an odd way it works out).

Tw: mentions of toxic relationships, some perhaps uncomfortable touching (it's just clinging onto the arm and shoulder), read with caution please-

Indulgent Glorification

Mikey and Leo were playing games in the arcade, with the pair competing against each other on who would get the new high score yet. So far, Mikey was winning: to Leo's dismay. The arcade lights glowed onto their faces, making their expressions look more dramatic than it already is.

"Oh, Leo~! Guess who's about to take the new highscore~?" Mikey teased in a sing-song voice, not taking his eyes off the screen not once; not letting himself slip from losing the chance of having bragging rights. His hands gripped the controllers tightly, almost to the point if he put any more pressure, the contraption would surely break.

Leo huffed and his eyebrow muscles furrowed more, intent on claiming the win right before his younger sibling did. He smirked cockily, "Oh just wait little 'Angelo, I will beat you so hard you'll want to hide in your shell out of embarrassment!" He presses his fingers down on the buttons harsher, his fingertips burning from the pressure of his jamming.

Just then, a voice interrupts them from their gameplay, "Hey guys...Can I ask your opinion on something?" They stood at the entrance of the arcade area, their body language looking anxious, fearful even.

As soon as Mikey noticed their nervous form his face immediately contorted into a worried frown and he rushes up to them, putting a hand on their shoulder. "Are you ok? What happened?" The game he was playing with Leo was long forgotten, with his entire attention solely on the person who entered, Y/n. His entire mind was swirling with panic for his divinity.

"Wait hey-" Leo swore as he also lost the game, with both him and Mikey not being able to beat the high score. He then stood up and sauntered over to the other two, his face relaxed but holding a serious vibe. "What can me and my hermano help you with bab- I mean mi amigo?"

As the troubled person started to speak of their agonizing experiences with their significant other, the two brothers couldn't help but become more bitter and concerned with every word that flows into their minds. They wanted to take revenge on this disgusting bug, they wanted to murder them so brutally that they would wish they never even thought of speaking and doing such horrible actions.

"So, what do you think I should do with them?" They ask, their head tilted to the side slightly in hopes they would get an answer they could work with to get out of the torturous situation.

"Well, I think telling them your thoughts and feelings is one thing if you haven't already done that. Then proceed to state of you want to split because their behaviour is just something you can't deal with," Mikey replied in an honest statement, using his knowledge of emotional intelligence. He was going to make sure this process was as least painful as possible for his beloved divinity. He clung to their arm to provide them with some comfort, and also for his own self-indulgence.

"And what if they don't let you leave? Or threaten to do something if you do?" Their tone became more dreadful as they spoke, revealing their extreme uneasiness of the situation.

"Leave them. And if they try to do anything, we got your back." Following his words, Leo pats their back, occasionally stealing a little caress with his finger. His demeanour then changes, back to his cocky self, except in a darker atmosphere than his usual attitude. "Look, if you ever need help from them, you can always come to me. I'll always be here, always." His eyes widened slightly at his words, making his smile more maniacal.

Mikey tightens his grip on their arm, nodding to Leo's words. "Yeah, if you ever need something from us, we're always here to help you. It's my duty as your friend, your best friend." His tone slowly transformed into something stern, almost possessive-sounding if one were to listen carefully.

The two turtles were practically clinging onto them now, with an unhinged glint in their eyes.

And just like that, from a toxic relationship, they walk into a bloody, obsessed, friendship romance with the turtles.

I cranked this out in an hour, so it isn't really polished, but I hope it suffices- (I forgot I had to do an assignment before tomorrow morning so I decided to do this real quick-)

okay more than a week late due to life. but. concert report!

rock band from hell absolutely bang! they kinda give me good charlotte vibes in such a good way! they were so much fun, super great energy. at one point they had everyone like. get down so we could jump up and i hit the deck so hard my knee is still bruised lol but it was still fun 😂 jere kept licking his guitar when he wasn’t grinning which. whore behaviour (affectionate)

ghostkid gave a slapping show too! alas their brand of industrial is in a similar vein to miw which isn’t my vibe but it was still fun and i had a good time. so. but the crowd was so energetic i got like no pictures, just a super blurry one of their bassist with his shroud and corpse paint. he kept staring out into the audience doing that intense stare thing but seeing as he looked like a necromancers minion it was kinda hot ngl

and bc! they did their exit radio thing, but my ears were ringing too bad to hear much of it. the songs they were playing on it were fun tho lol like. going from britney spears to slayer was A Choice and it banged

the show was so good! it made me wanna give exitemo another chance tbh like how seeing lxsx made me give them another chance. the crowd was super energetic with a pretty good pit going for most of the set, and the guys looked so happy! joel also kept sticking his necklace in his mouth, but alas i couldn’t get a pic in time :( he also made a little heartfelt speech about how happy he was the show was so close to sold out and that the last time bc played bristol it was at the same venue (a boat), and niko just cut him off mid sentence to say ‘i like boats’ 😂😂 joel asked him if he had ‘a whole fucking standup routine’ and then carried on with his heartfelt speech 🥰🥰🥰 he also had his little wrestle with joonas 😂😂 ooo and joonas singing rory’s part in for another day has me gagging for more of his vocals because i adore his vocals apparently lol. and afterwards they did their bows to the backstreet boys and were jamming out to it like the crowd which was just. *chefs kiss*

A friend of mine's been tryna get me into Redacted and shit and told me bout your matchups so Imma give it a go

DO 4 LOVE by Snoh Alegra. Specifically the part "And in my world, only you / Make me do for love, what I would not do"

Had to look up what you were talkin bout, my friend said Id be a 2? So Imma take their word and go with that

I don't really watch things unless someone else is showing me?? But I'm pretty sure I saw this one vid about the best cocktail and fresh herb pairings which was pretty fucking cool

Is that a thing people have...? I guess I didn't have one really?? Friends were kinda hard to keep when I was younger

I don't really sleep if I can help it. If I do, it's usually cuz I'm around the right people y'know? And usually cuz I'm bout to pass out or some shit

My name isn't changed across the board or anything but I chose my other name cuz I wanted something that felt like it represented what I wanna be. I like being a guide in a weird way, and there was something bout my name that just feels right now. I dunno, it's kinda weird cuz I still vibe with my first name too

Had to pull it up again so I didn't fuck up the title but "Baking A Cake With Your Incubus Boyfriend" for sure. I pretty much learned how to cook cuz someone else taught me and the audio reminds of one of my friends. Plus I crack myself up thinkin bout how badly another friend fucked up a cake this one time

I don't really fuck with Sam honestly? Don't really like Vincent either but that's more of a dislike kinda situation. Sam's real hard headed bout certain things and it's exhausting sometimes. He's not bad when he quits actin like he ain't holdin onto the same shit he scolds other people for, but as a whole I don't see what other people do in him

Sat next to a friend reading Circe out loud and then borrowed it from them the next day. They let me keep it after I asked to re-read it for the 5th time

If I had to pick? Vega or Brachium. Both of them remind me a lot of a old friend of mine so I fuck with most of their audios. I think they'd be cool to kick it with if they didn't have a bunch of plot shit goin on

Don't really have a go-to cuz I like tryin new shit. I tend to let someone else pick for me and roll with it. Last time I got something they gave me strawberry lemonade and hard pretzels. Was pretty good ngl

Been really into disco music lately! I think it's disco. That's what they called it, I dunno, it's fun to jam to. Really into Night To Remember as of late

Uh I dunno, maybe cooking shows? I don't really get what they're sayin half the time but it looks good on the screen

Hmmm, Type Twos are characterized as a giving, open- hearted sort of people, leaning towards those who are similarly inclined. With that in mind, I’d pick Camelopardalis for you.

Another reason I like him for you is because of what you said about sleep. Sleeping in the presence of another person is so vulnerable and trusting so I wanted to pair you with the most trustworthy Redacted man I could think of. Also, I think Cam would be the most appreciative of the trust and love that that gesture would wordlessly express, you know? Also, I like what you said about “being a guide”; like, I feel Cam would hear that and resonate with that.

Overall, you’d have such a peaceful, serene life, and I love that for y’all. Cam would be so well fed in more ways than one, because I can see him being such a supportive, helpful sous chef once he gets the idea. I can clearly imagine you introducing him to cooking and disco, music playing while he watches you dance around the kitchen while also watching whatever’s in the pot on the stove. (I’m so sure the daemon powers and speed will be so helpful in the kitchen.) (Also, I think he was totally old enough to be around for disco, but he was more of a classical/jazz guy. This would make it even more fun to show him the genre he missed.)

Song:

Give me the simple life/ Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant/ Those things roll off my knife/ Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes/ Give me the simple life/ A cottage small is all I'm after

Like I said, Cam’s a classics and jazz kind of guy in my head. I think he’d have a wonderful time showing you the music he likes, the kind that brings him serenity. This song, specifically the Ella Fitzgerald version is deffo an example. I can see this playing in the morning as he gets ready for work in the morning making you breakfast since you always cook for him.

Runner-ups:

Morgan is a good runner-up for you because he also strikes me as a guiding, helpful figure, just not as much as Cam, ya know? David is a runner-up because I think it’d be really cute for y’all to cook with each other~

Note: I totally agree with you about Sam you’re so real for that~

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[mrschwartz]

Can we talk about how insane this bit: "I just wanted to be one of those ghosts/You thought that you could forget/And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror/On a long drive from the back seat/But it’s alright, 'cause you love me/And you recognise that it ain’t how it should be/Your eyes are heavy and the weather’s getting ugly/So pull over, I know the place/Don't you know that an apparition is a cheap date?" in Star Treatment is???

Alex wanting to be disassociated in a relationship, him thinking that's fine as part of the package of 'love', the partner not really being ok with it, and in the end he doesn't get what he wants because he has to take care of their needs (or maybe his solution is to break up once they have had enough and are sick of him). like this is my personal interpretation and you could also frame it as him thinking about his fame but either way Alex is inSANEEE

anon come on where do i even begin with this 😭

alex's songs are almost all very hard to crack but i feel like star treatment is one of the hardest, it's so dense. all of the verses are jam packed with very specific metaphors, if you don't have the key you're not getting in fr. also one of the cases where i feel like the "words are there to carry the melody" a lot of the times, so it's very hard to pick which ones are worth analyzing

that being said. i think your interpretation is very interesting and very valid, and like i said for someone who doesn't have the key (none of us do, is what i mean) i think it's well founded and makes sense. but if i may.

it's very clear that this verse is meant to parallel the first verse in the song, which to me is him commenting on how when he was young he dreamed of doing what the strokes do, be in a band with his friends, and then he blinked and a decade later he was a world-famous rockstar with such a whirlwind as a baggage in his personal and professional life. and on how yeah he's in this place now with all of this fame and success and he's still uninspired and suffering from writer's block. i'd expand but we're not here to talk about the first verse, i'm just saying this so we have in mind that i think this song is very introspective and self-reflective in its nature

so in the second verse. i think he's talking to himself. his past self talking to his current self, more specifically. "i just wanted to be one of those ghosts you thought that you could forget" meaning his past versions haunt him, as ghosts do, but he wishes he could forget them, forget how he was

but "then i haunt via the rear view mirror on a long drive from the backseat" meaning he can't help it. every time he looks back on his life (throught the rear view mirror) he's still haunted by his old versions (the backseat here being the past, you know. or even, as if to say his past versions are always on the backseat of his mind. he's always thinking about them and they're always influencing him)

"but it's alright cause you love me and you recognize that it ain't how it should be" would mean that he appreciates his past selves (how everyone looks fondly at our own past versions for getting us here) but yeah it's come a little too far (...........the mess we made him make and all........)

"your eyes are heavy" could very well be a reference to how he's tired of writer's block, of his fame, of this spiral of always driving this long road (which would be life, i guess) constantly looking at the past, and "and the weather is getting ugly" is the negative side of all of it outside of him, like people's perception of him and of the band, how time is running out for him to write an album, how he has an image to uphold, etc etc

"so pull over, i know the place" gets a little lost on me, i'm ngl. if this is his past self talking to his present self, it could mean a metaphorical comfort zone, like. "just start creating and things will work out"/"trust your gut". his past self would know, that's what he's always been doing. or something like that

"don't you know an apparition is a cheap date" is just a slap in the face lol. i feel like it's the reverse now, his present self talking to his past self, literally him saying like "don't you think it's cheap to come on to me like this to get me think about you?" like, "you really had to come as a ghost and haunt me? low blow"

but oof. yeah i'm drained now. and sad vfkvmjfnvgj

Drama round-up 2023

This is one of the best drama years I've had since I started watching in 2019. I think I've finally learned when to drop and when to say - maybe another time.

there were some standouts, but for me the top three were:

Oh no! Here comes trouble

Ripe Town

Till the End of the Moon

reviews (in the order I watched things) under the cut

The Blood of Youth 少年歌行 (3.75/5)

2023 started off on an unexpectedly good note with a really fun well-done wuxia. It had lots of what I enjoy in a drama: ensemble cast of friends, good pacing, some humor, lots of fighting, and a fairly logical plot. Sure, there was a little bit of over-the-top silliness, but it's a wuxia, not a historical drama, so I enjoyed it. What it did not have a lot of was romance - which is fine - though there was a really sweet angsty sub-plot with two minor characters, one played by cutie Cao Yuchen, if that's your jam. Besides that sub-plot I personally didn't find any of the (many) other CPs had chemistry or added anything to the overall drama, and yes I am including those folks who ship the MLs.* Costumes, effects, and visuals were all great, and acting was ok. There was a mix of younger and more seasoned actors which I think helps. Ngl I immediately fell for Liu Xueyi as Wu Xin, and will be watching more of his dramas.

Weak points were the dubbing and (some) acting. VA was done by the donghua VAs, and it took me until 3/4 of the way through to get used to their voices with the actor's looks. Many didn't fit well, especially Xiao Se (Li Hongyi). Which brings me to the #1 weak point - Li Hongyi. His character should have been interesting, and thus was chosen as the main ML, but the man's face does not move. It really detracted from the whole drama, especially when the plot moved to revolving entirely around him and who would inherit the throne. I started to groan every time the camera focused on him and his unmoving upper lip and vacant expression. There were so many more interesting side characters - from the 'older generation' as well as the younger, that I wish we had spent time on instead of focusing on the imperial family power struggles.

*it is impossible to have chemistry with an inert substance

League of Nobleman - dropped

Grammar aside (yes, the English title annoyed the crap out of me) the production value and look of this drama was really good. The plot was fairly interesting but for some reason overall it didn't grab me and I dropped it around ep 10. I think this was because I had just soldiered through one lackluster male lead, and had to deal with one again in Song Weilong. Everyone else was good, and I heard that it got better towards the end, but I'll never know. The real problems for me were two fold: the lazy plot device of the water-hypnotism thing (this is supposed to be historical, not wuxia, so I am less tolerant of vaguely magical/occulty things that just happen to make solving the crime easier) and the fact that the drama was trying soooo hard to pretend to be a dangai and get you to ship absolutely everyone with the ML. If that's your thing, then you might enjoy it.

Under the Microscope 4/5

Dubious at first because of the slightly 'Rain man' treatment they were giving the ML. You also have to give it lots of drama leeway in terms of historical accuracy (w/r/t the role of the lawyer) which was done for obvious dramatic reasons.

If you can overlook those two things, it was satisfying - well paced, and well plotted. The look was much more realistic than typical costume dramas, and joy of joys, large portions of it used live audio (not dubbed) which gave it even more of a realistic feel. I wasn't completely sold on Zhang Ruoyun's performance, though I do think he's a good actor - it might have been the writing or direction, difficult to know. I'm fairly sensitive to portraying neurodivergent characters. All the supporting characters and their performers were really good which is what eventually won me over.

Till the End of the Moon 4.5/5

This should probably rate it's own post. I've defended the ending once, and will do forever - it is not a BE. It fit the themes of the drama perfectly. This drama will either continue to be divisive, or everyone will move on with their lives. It won't leave me though, I'm scarred for life. (the personal emotional damage is what earned it the extra .5 in my rating. I've never cried this hard over a drama ending.)

So far this is the only xianxia I've seen that manages to be about more than romantic love. Though it stuck to some familiar plot devices - the three arcs, destiny/fate, multiple cps - it was about so much more than the main cp and I hope paves the way for more like it, turning away from tired tropes and towards a literal xianxia - the story of Immortal Heroes - not just fairy-tale love.

The biggest flaws (outside of Xixi's inconsistent heavy makeup and an overuse of sparkly effects that obscured the action during fight scenes) can be blamed pretty squarely on the NRTA rules. Tantai Jin was a bit too whitewashed. Li Susu's character arc was difficult to follow because of all the many many cuts. I was very frustrated towards the end as the majority of really brutal editing seemed to be done in the last arc - it made the plot confusing and character motivations - especially for Li Susu - unclear. Overall, it was good but could have been even better if we had all the episodes and production had gone even further with the Dunhuang aesthetic and farther from typical xianxia/wuxia tropes.

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble 5+/5

I was worried I'd need to give up cdramas forever after the emotional beating I took watching TTEOTM. Luckily tumblr came through and kept putting gifs of this on my dash. An absolute gem. Funny and heartfelt drama about paranormal investigation, friendship, family relationships, death and grief, high school bullying - it really had it all. Twelve episodes were not enough!!! It's rare that I can literally say "I laughed, I cried" about any show but it was true for this one (and maybe the Good Place.) The friendship among the characters, and their really supportive families was so heartwarming. Which was needed since there were also lots of dark themes about isolation and loneliness, abuse, and death. The attention to detail in the sets and character names and backstories were so clever, it was obvious how much love the production had for the show. My only quibbles are that the first couple eps that set the characters were a little long to get through, other than that a practically perfect drama in every regard.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook - on indefinite hold

Not as good mystery-wise as Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty but mostly fun. Decent acting (this is the first time I've watched CY and he's OK, if not particularly compelling for me.) I should have liked this more because as a wuxia/mystery it's absolutely 100% up my alley but found myself falling asleep during some episodes - there is way too much exposition and not enough 'show' when it comes to the mystery solving aspect. I most definitely skipped all the tender scenes between CY and CDL's characters (🤮).

I ended up putting it on hold, but I might pick it up again for Xiao Shunyao's character. I think the main reason people went bonkers for this drama on tumblr was because they loved shipping the MLs, which - whatever.

Hikaru no Go 5/5

Finally watched this after having it on the list for a couple years and it was absolutely as good as people said it was. Touching and sweet without being overly sentimental. The child actors were fabulous - I was almost sad to see them grow up and be replaced by the main actors. Each character really feels like they're a complete person, their motivations and actions are individual and understandable. Who knew I'd love a drama based on a manga about Go?

Ripe Town 5/5

Everything about this short drama was absolutely top notch. It was like watching a prestige western drama or mini-series. I want more of these, please! Luckily I've heard that Tencent is making a series (like iQiyi's "light on") that will specialize in these shorter dramas.

The cinematography was gorgeous and set the mood so well. Acting was excellent from everyone. The plot was TIGHT. The pacing was ON. Direction was so good. Audio was live, not dubbed for most of it (aaaaaaaah my beloved ambient audio.) I looked forward to each new episode and lamented that there were only 12. The suspense built with every episode as we learned the backstories of our characters and what happened 20 years ago. There was even humor - dark, adult humor, not slapstick. The only slight failing for me was the very very end - there's an unnecessarily twist that, while it didn't ruin the drama, didn't really help it either, and in fact muddied some of the character motivations somewhat. Aside for that would have been the best cdrama I've ever seen.

Love is Panacea - dropped

Yet another modern drama starring my favorite actor that I simply could not get through. Sorry Xixi. He and Zhang Ruonan were both good (though her stiff faced kiss scenes were not) but the plot was a melodramatic mess that overshadowed a really sweet message about facing adversity. The direction made it look like a cheesy idol drama in spots, and the secondary characters (Dr. Gu's family) were beyond annoying. Please let him stop acting in these sub-par modern dramas. I have no idea why it did so well on CCTV8 other than the fact that he looked stunning through most of it.

The Story of Kunning Palace 3.75/5

Honestly not entirely sure how to rate this, but out of all similar dramas I've ever watched this was pretty well paced and generally well acted. I definitely looked forward to each episode but did eventually find myself 2x'ing through some of the slower scenes and romantic longing looks with the OST in the background (yawn.) The revenge plot was well done, and more interesting than the 'who will she pick' romance plot, though even I found myself rooting for one of our MLs more than the other (even though it was obvious who would get the girl).

The biggest downside for me was the directing - the spins, the terrible backlight - it was so dated and so noticeable that it took me out of the drama. Though Bai Lu did a good job, I won't say it was her strongest performance. Zhang Linghe was criticized for his performance and at first I disagreed strongly. His character was a little exaggerated but it's a costume drama, come on. Around ep 32 though I understood what people meant. His character was too unhinged to be taken very seriously - I mean, how many times can you stab yourself without the audience thinking you're nuts? His shouting and throat grabbing was just a bit over the top and was more like deranged stalker behavior than hopelessly obsessed lover. How much of that was direction (see my earlier criticism) I don't know, but at the end...he's all fine. Gets the girl, loves kitties, etc. etc. Ngl, I did not expect such a pat HE and it kind of didn't fit. Folks who love HE loved it though.

Eyyyy I was tagged by @nonbineynaruto bc they are wonderful and know I love talking about my music taste (and yes, most of it is gonna be nerdcore. Because I'm me.)

list 5 songs youve been listening to lately. adding the links so people interested can check them out (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

Recently my partner and I made a playlist of Positive Protagonist songs together, and this was one of the first I thought of. Now it's constantly stuck in my head again www

(god, I love Spanish rap. It always sounds so fucking good. If you don't want to hear some inspiring jams at least give the second verse a shot.)

I spent a long time listening to this on Spotify without being sure if it was anime rap. It's just a fucking good song. I want to cover it so bad.

McGwire's been churning out hits lately. I've been listening to a lot of McGwire.

Ever since I heard this song a few weeks ago I've been unable to stop playing it. Easily one of my favorite things right now. The hook kinda gives me emo vibes, but the rest is hyperpop, and it's just everything. It's everything.

Also ngl, Gameboyjones is kinda cute in this video. Low-key kawaii.

Not nerdcore, but Måneskin came out with a new album recently and this song fucks so hard.

Honestly I've mostly been listening to this bc the art in the video is so good and I love looking at it, but also GHOST has been killing it with their Kevin tuning lately. He sounds really good. (For the uninitiated: that's a fucking vocaloid.)

Anyway, I tag (if you're so inclined) @luxion912 , @rybreadu , @lovova, @ghostoftheyear, @cheatingway, and whoever might want to steal it from me

[hummingbird-hunter]

ok wait maybe I'm not lazy (because I'm a lil bit insane!)

Jose Mauro (Google him tho his whole story is fucking insane ngl!) Makes I think stuff in Portuguese.

Kit Sebastian makes stuff in I think English & French?

Azymuth is a Brazilian funk/jazz trio.

Arthur Verocai is Brazilian as well, he's made some cool stuff.

Lily Allen did a version of Smile in Simlish which is always fun if you have both in your playlist because it's a horrible 50/50!

The Mauskovic dance band is an interesting band, I think they're from the US?

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is like 8 siblings and a random dude they hired to be a drummer, really good band, Ballicki Bone is very good.

I'm not sure what language it is but Haydar Haydar by Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek is fun.

Out Of Reach by Klaus Johan Grobe is in German?

People, Let's Dance by Public Service Broadcasting & EERA is in German.

I think Men I Trust has stuff in Quebec French.

Utu by Eno X Dirty is a bop.

Sonos Cor De Rosa by Tiawa is Spanish & English.

Sudan Archives is in English but she makes really fun & interesting art pop especially in her current album cycle.

CASIOPEA is Japanese like Jazz, Mint Jams is a really good place to start.

MF DOOM & BadBadNotGood's song for GTA is partially in Spanish.

Also Madvillian by Madvilliany is one of the best albums I've ever gotten to listen to.

SAULT makes amazing music, they've pit out a crazy amount of music since 2019.

Birds Of Paradise by Karnan Saba & Hone Be Good is really good. (I really like the label it came from)

Ethel Cain's debut Preacher's Album is definitely something, I loved it, be warned it's fucked up, and long.

Pip Millet has a series of Amazing EP's, still need to listen to the album though).

MĀ has an amazing album (Breakfast with Hades).

Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030 is a great album.

Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones) by Jai Paul is amazing, it's a tragedy that it ruined his creative drive.

Caroline Polachek has done 2 art pop records under her own name, both are amazing.

Ravenna has made some beautiful music.

Ayonha by Hamid Al Shaeri got me into Arabic Jazz.

Balkan - Honey and Blood by Jordi Savall is a really investing album, idek how i found it.

La Sabotesue by Yazz Ahmed is a really good album.

Dub Yalil by Natacha Atlas is just, an amazing song.

Cosmic Funk by Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes is good, my brother loves it and he has amazing taste.

Todo De Ti is really good pop, it's all in Spanish but I'm surprised it didn't get a Dua Lipa remix.

The Nu Deco Ensemble version of I Am The Antichrist to You by Kishi Bashi is beautiful. but haunting

Rosalia's Motomami is amazing. Hentai is a really beautiful song.

Celeste's album "Not Your Muse" was a really good listen.

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song & Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day) made me desperately to find this album from The Carpenters.

If you're feeling Horny the remix of Wizz by Coucou Chloe is fun, same with the Cupcakke remix of Good Puss. Also anything off Alias by Shygirl.

Roisin & Crooked Machine are great albums.

Tinashe's 333 is an amazing album, it's so good.

Orville Peck is gay country music.

Revulva is an 8 piece jazz band, Stop Pulling On My (Hair) is so pop though.

Lava La Rue makes amazing (and very queer music).

If I Sleep by Dystopia hits really hard.

Code by The Comet Is Coming had my friend jamming out because it sounds like the comet is coming.

I Feel Love by Donna Summer is one of the most important songs in moden music history and its so fucking good.

Nia Archives makes jungle, it's Drum & Bass but more fun.

Giving Up Air was a really nice EP by Bloodmoon, amazing production.

Julia Jacklin & Stella Donnely are both kinda sad Australians, thank you land of Muck for these artists. And the story of Engadine Maccas in 1997.

TRYON by Slowthai is really amazing, espech the A/B side differences.

Blood Orange's 4 songs are a nice chilled out 4 songs.

Self Esteem, I too do this all the time, but yet I don't Prioritize Pleasure.

She's So Kind by Harve is the sibling song of Theirs13 by JGrrey, both artists wrote the songs about eachother, truly a queer love story.

Wolf Alice's Blue Weekend has some moments more Blue than others.

The Danger Mouse & Black Thought album is well produced, with amazing features. Do not skip Strangers.

Doomsday by MF DOOM is an essential song, same with Nobody by Nas & Ms. Lauryn Hill, also recommended is One Mic, One Gun by Nas and 21 Savage.

Body Dysmorphia. by RAYE is such a constant mood!

this is the hits from my like 7.3k song spotify playlist

Thank you I am saving this

[agentdilf]

what bands/artists i hc craig + stan's gangs listen to + favourite songs.

more stuff, wasn't requested but swaggy. i apologize if some of the characters are ooc, first time writing for like, all of them other than stan and kyle. ships: Craig x Tweek, and Stan x Kyle/Stan x Wendy.

tw: slight angst?? is bo burnham a trigger? idk i'll put it here just in case. possibly problematic music artists? im not sure honestly. so sorry if i didnt tag these right,,, hcs below the cut!

CRAIG'S GANG

Craig Tucker -Mother Mother idk i think he's just a guy who likes a good Mother Mother song. -Lemon Demon man idk he's a funky dude. -Toby Fox he hums random songs while on drives with tweek *sobbing* overall genre i think he likes the most is indie pop & rock or video game music. i think his favourite song is Deviltown by Cavetown. it reminds him of himself and tweek.

Clyde Donovan -Carly Rae Jepsen this bitch JAMS to call me maybe. -Katy Perry he is a dude who needs an angsty but pop-ish song. early Katy music is perfect!!! -Britney Spears he loves her music ngl the genre i think he likes the most is early 2010's pop!! i think his favourite song is The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani. I legitimately do not have a reason. i just imagine him dancing to it whilst pissing off the rest of the gang..... Tolkien Black -The Weekend this mf would listen to blinding lights on repeat -My Chemical Romance i think he would listen to teenagers!! it gives him a comforting feeling and it reminds him of his friends. -Cuphead Soundtrack he listens to it with jimmy :))) overall fave genre i think would be rap or pop, or older swing music. no happy medium. I think his favourite song would be Deceptacon by Le Tigre. idk the vibes fr.... Jimmy Valmer -Cuphead Soundtrack listens to it with Tolkien!!! -Cavetown it gives him comforting vibes, and sometimes he falls asleep to them. -Jack Stauber he likes how strange it is. i think his favourite genre is pop or indie pop, and swing. fave song is penis music (not the actual song name but its often associated with that name lmaooo) because it makes him laugh. and he deserves it.... I NEVER SEE JIMMY HCS WHERE ARE THEY.... (im probably not lookin hard enough) Tweek Tweak -Lofi calms him down!!!! he likes to snuggle into his blanket, and drink tea. -Cavetown comforts him and reminds him of craig. -CG5 he's a video game nerd, agghhh. his fave genre is no doubt in my mind classical or lofi jazz. i think his favourite song is Ukelele and Chill by Cody G. its on the softer side and i just think he'd cuddle with craig to it... STAN'S GANG Stan marsh -My Chemical Romance he started listening to it in his goth phase because he thought it was edgy, and kinda just started listening to it afterward. Teenagers brings him undying comfort and reminds him of his friends. -Nightwish i personally think he'd like their softer music more, but still love the metal stuff. -Mother Mother it's like music you put on when you hate yourself. overall fave genre imo would be indie rock, pop rock, and indie pop. i think his favourite song would be Still Into You by Paramore, reminds him of Wendy and Kyle, and makes him feel all fuzzy inside. Kyle Broflovski -Gorillaz he thinks the idea of the band is neat. and also he loves all the genres it's dabbled in. -Penelope Scott he likes the feel of her music. -Glass Animals heatwaves reminds him of stan sometimes i think his favourite genre of music would be indie pop. i think his favourite song would be Hayloft by Mother Mother. he thinks about stan while listening to it, and it makes him laugh. Kenny Mccormick -cupcakKe ... do i really need to explain why? -Eminem he's a rap fan, what can i say... -Hatsune Miku i really dont know how to explain this one... i think his favourite genre of music would be rap or anime openings/vocaloid music i think his favourite song would be Seiso, Say so Parody by Nyanners Eric Cartman -Bo Burnham I feel like he'd laugh at his older stuff. -Lady Gaga Self explanatory -Britney Spears he vibes to toxic even tho he knows he is <3 I just see him as a fan of 2000-2010 music,,, HIS FAVOURITE SONG IS RULER OF EVERYTHING BY TALLY HALL NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. Butters Stotch -Ho-Kago Tea Time k-on band!!! their music is very fluffy and i think he'd like it. -Babymetal listen, i think this is the most metal thing he'd ever listen to ;; -Justin Timberlake lol i think his favourite genre of music is cute music or j pop!!! i think his favourite song would be Stamp On the Ground by ItaloBrothers. he's a lil dude who likes to dance to upbeat music alone in his room!! I SPENT 5 HOURS WRITING THIS AND LISTENING TO MUSIC I THOUGHT WOULD FIT THEIR PERSONALITIES AND VIBES THEY GAVE ME..... sorry if this is ooc or the music is unfitting,,, i tried my best!!! reblogs r appreciated v much muaaahhhhh ily !!!!!!!! stay safe and hydrated :)))) requests are still open!!!

[residentraccoon]

I'm bored so I decided to re-do my prediction for the semi-finals, with details this time. This is pre-rehearsals btw, and after them I'm sure they will most likely change but...I'm still too excited for ESC and I wanna talk about so yeah. These are in a random order btw so like anyone from, let's say 1st-3rd can be in any order at all.

SEMIFINAL 1

(Q) 1ST-3RD

• Norway. Well most people will already know this one from Spotify or TikTok or wherever this song is extremely popular (I don't have either of these lmao) plus I think the staging will be pretty dynamic and fun. I think this secures it as a clear qualifier from start.

• Sweden. Another no brainer. Epic staging, Loreen, great running order, she's in.

• Finland. Massive public support. He's also in.

(Q) 4TH-7TH

• Portugal. I think that the colorful, cabaret-like staging and Mimicat's charisma will be enough to make this qualify. It's really fun and catchy and I can see also getting the public's eye

• Croatia. Well they're pretty much established with Serbia voting and it's gimmicky and chaotic enough to also get the attention of the televoters.

• Israel. This will probably have a great choreography and also it's the only girlie bop in the semifinal which already stands out. Plus I think Noa is pretty popular herself so that alone will help her qualify.

• Moldova. Just the chorus alone is an absolute earworm and definitely memorable enough to make Moldova sail to the final.

(?) 8TH-12TH

• Malta. I know some of you will say that it will miss out, because it's 2nd and Malta does bad with the televote, but I'm sure they might actually have a decent chance to go through. It's incredibly catchy especially with the sax, yeah I can see the voters jamming to this (and preferably vote as well lol). Even so, this semi is stacked so I don't know if there will be enough room for this to get in, so that's why it's in this category.

• Latvia. Their stage show is very neat and professional from what I've seen and he can carry the vocals very well. I think casuals might be a bit confused with the structure of the song, but I still think this one could also be an option for qualifying.

• Switzerland. One of the few ballads in the semi, which can make it stand out, but at the same time, Switzerland last year didn't get that much love from the public with a (kind of) similar song. Though I feel like the message can get to the hearts of the voters and uhhhh maybe even vote for it? I don't know. It could go both ways. But I think he has a chance as well.

• Czechia. The live vocals can make or break this one so I hope they nail the harmony. Probably has the biggest chance out of these ones from this category to go through.

• Serbia. I have a feeling that casuals might have a hard time connecting to this or finding it too weird, it's also really early in the R/O, but at the same time is has a very impressive staging that will surprise.

(NQ) 13TH-15TH

• Netherlands. I didn't want to put them here, but I feel like they don't have that much of a dynamic on stage and it's like they were forced to sing together instead. The song might go on for too long for some people, or they might be put off by the lack of chemistry between the two. I can see Netherlands doing a Verona ngl.

• Ireland. I feel that the show will elevate this a bit more, but I don't think it will get enough points to qualify, since again, this semifinal is a literal bloodbath and not enough room.

• Azerbaijan. Probably the lack of competitiveness of the song might make it struggle a lot to go through.

SEMIFINAL 2

(Q) 1ST-3RD

• Slovenia. Amazing staging, the guys are charismatic and fun on stage, plus this is an incredibly weak semifinal, I can see them comfortably Q-ing.

• Austria. They have the televote appeal and the earworm-ness of Poe Poe Poe, so that's another easy qualifier. They're very stable vocally from what I've seen at the pre-parties.

• Australia. Besides being the last ones in the R/O, they too have a great show potential and voices. So they're in as well.

(Q) 4TH-7TH

• Armenia. The 2nd place might make it struggle a bit but I honestly can't see this flopping. It will come alive a lot on stage and I can see them having a very enticing staging.

• Estonia. Contrary to what I've seen, Estonia to me is a pretty sure qualifier. Her voice is tremendous and the instrumental is honestly beautiful. Will attract the ballad-loving voters for sure.

• Cyprus. Well, it's definitely a pretty safe pop song, with another great vocalist, so I think he's qualifying.

• Georgia. Ah thank god, for the first time since 2016 they really have a good chance to qualify, like I'm so proud of them you have no idea. Okay, about the song. I can see this having a big staging with dancers and all, and again, she sings great live.

(?) 8TH-12TH

• Albania: I think the R/O helps them a bit in terms of qualification, their voices are amazing, and might get the balkan votes.

• Belgium: It's indeed very dynamic and dancey, he might have a chance too? I really have no idea about Belgium, sorry.

• Iceland: Pretty underrated from what I've seen in the odds and fandom, honestly from this list she's the most likely to make it out. I think she'll get some votes, she really owns the stage with charisma and energy.

• Poland: This one depends heavily on her vocals. If she sings the same as in the nf, she'll NQ. If she improves until the semifinal, she might actually have a bit of a chance to go through. It has a good amount of streams on Spotify and has the safe pop song-sound that casuals would be familiar with.

• Lithuania: Actually, along with Iceland, she's having a good chance too. I think some people might really like the catchier conclusion of the song, you know, the ciuto tuto part. Plus, the R/O might help her a lot. 

(NQ) 13TH-16TH

• Greece: Probably the song moves too slow for some and they'll get bored I think? There's also the other songs that the voters might like more. However, they have the Cyprus vote guaranteed, but I don't know about the others.

• Denmark: I thought at first that it might get the appeal of the younger voters, but I'm not so sure about his vocals? Will it be 100% his natural voice? Will he have the vocoder just like Greece last year? If his vocals won't be so brilliant I can see him struggling a bit.

• San Marino: I don't think it's that competitive, might get the rock fans voting for it but outside of that...I'm not so sure.

• Romania: Mmyeah, maybe some will be put off by the message or the pacing of the song, either way, this one has a very poor public support from what I've seen so currently I don't see having that much of a chance...

[iichaeyj]

help bae i think i might have gone overboard with choosing songs for the ask game <//3

beauty and a beat - justin bieber stickwityou - the pussycat dolls complicated - avril lavigne burnin' up - jonas brothers good girls go bad - cobra starship i kissed a girl - katy perry replay - iyaz only girl - rihanna starships - nicki minaj love you like a love song - selena gomez we are never ever getting back together - taylor swift eenie meenie - sean kingston, justin bieber airplanes - b.o.b. your love is my drug - kesha

FAE 😭😭 THE WAY U HAD TO APOLOGIZE IN MY DMS, TOO?? HELP

beauty and the beast definitely reminds me of jaemin!! it not only suits him, but have u seen him perform this?? iconic tbh

taehyung definitley vibes to stickwitu 😭😭 he pulls out the old man dance moves and sways side to side as he lipsyncs

complicated just screams beomgyu omg <3 like just think about him and his emo look during the loser lover phase?? yeah this song literally Is him

BURNIN UP AND SUNGHOON OMG??? ive said this before, but opposites attract trope and sunghoon just go hand in hand 🙏 and this song is literally that

ngl this one was sorta hard? but i sorta just had the image of frat boy johnny jamming out to good girls go bad in his jeep and it's stuck with me now so,,,

ngl this song reminds me of me ryujin 😭😭 (idk her sexuality and this is not me speculating on it or anything btw) i think she just suits the vibe of this song? and the song is sorta sassy (?) with the lyrics and stuff, and plus, as a bisexual 😍😍 ryujin <3

MARK LEE 💀 he unironically listened to replay by iyaz back when he was in canada and thought he was so cool (to be fair, he was 🙈). like yk the pictures he took in the mirror when he was like 10? that mark lee was listening to replay

TAEHYUN <3 okay but i do have reasoning (surprisingly). for starters, i think that he would be the type of person to feel this way about his s/o <3 and also, he is just literally the only man ever (main slayer taehyun)

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS JUNGKOOK?? he was the kid in middle school who learned the rap in starships and kept singing it in the hallways, i rest my case

jungwon 🤭🤭 giggling and kicking my feet rn. him and his boba eyes just suit love you like a love song :( especially the bridge like??? tbh i think selena gomez wrote this about jungwon

my main man yeonjun <3 we r never ever getting back together is so like sarcastic and gives off a certain confidence that only yeonjun can have tbh. i want him to cover this song now ngl,,,

this was hard ngl 😭 but i have decided on jake 🧍‍♂️ this song is smth that he listened to daily back in australia. i can just picture him screaming "eenie meenie miney mo lova"

beomgyu and yeonjun bc of this tiktok that's been stuck in my head. it compared their blue and purple hair to the meme of mordecai and twilight,,,

ur love is my drug, especially the chorus, reminds me of like a relationship with heeseung?? not comparing him to a drug, but like the vibe is giving me older boy rockstar puppy love (if that makes sense at all)

send me an ask with a 2000s song and i'll give you an idol !!

[shuxiii]

ngl it took me some time too at first 😭😭

1989 Taylor's Version Thoughts!!!

longggggg post lmao

Welcome To New York (Taylor's Version):

The intro sounds so clean

tho the synths sound really different

the vocals omg

is it just me or does her voice seem really far back???

it's kinda hard to hear her tbh

the bridge <3

damn, I always forget how short this song is

altogether sounds a little off???

Blank Space TV:

she sounds so different and it's so awesome

the way she says "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend"??????? flawless

the chorus feels less loud? if that makes sense

the anger in her voice in the second verse is *chef's kiss*

love that she kept the "oooh" in the second chorus, idk why I was worried she wouldn't

the bridge is still as awesome as always ofc

Style TV:

I don't think I'm ready for this lol

I think the reason they all sounds so different to me is that this is the stolen version I'm most familiar with

this album was my childhood and got me through a lot of really hard things

the "mmm yeah" after "taking off his coat", dear lord

dude I think this beats the rep tour version for me

which is like crazy high praise

Out of The Woods TV:

The distant piano (?) in the beginning is so fucking good

the amount of times I screamed this song at like 8 lmaooooo

I genuinely don't have words this is so good omg

All You Had To Do Was Stay TV:

my first track 5 🥹

I haven't listened to this one really in a while and I've since had a really rough friendship breakup with my bsf

it's hitting a lot harder rn

no but fr it's outing my abandonment issues rn

(I was like sobbing and aggressively lip-syncing while listening to this song lol)

Shake It Off TV:

my first Taylor song!

ngl I literally dansed for 3:39 minutes straight lmaooo

I Wish You Would TV:

it sounds so different but so similar at the same tine

tbh sometimes I forget how good some of these songs are

the "I wish I wish I"s are still as fun as they used to be

Bad Blood TV:

omg it's 3rd grade Sprite's jam!

the bass and drums hit so much harder holy shit

this goes so fucking hard

the echo on "ghosts"???? hello???

Wildest Dreams TV:

I've had this on repeat for 2 years

I just vibed for 4 minutes lmaoooo

How You Get The Girl TV:

honestly such a bop even nearly a decade later

how was she holding out on us with this chorus for so long???? it hits so much harder now

with the synths in the chorus, I'm surprised jack didn't produce this lol

This Love TV:

such a vibe

god I love this song

I kinda want this kind of love

I Know Places TV:

This is the one I'm most excited and most worried for

it's probably my favorite 1989 song

maybe even my favorite Taylor song

the way she says "and we run" has soothed my fears lmao

<- 2nd pre gave me chills holy fuck

Clean TV:

yk I'm actually starting to feel "clean" from my SA and this song is probably gonna make me cry because of it lol

to think that I was listening to the stolen version in the months following it and now I'm here about to celebrate 9yrs since I was last assaulted????

listening to some of these songs are crazy to me

Wonderland TV:

this and I Know Places are tied for my favourite 1989 song so I'm ridiculously excited lol

the prechorus has somehow managed to go harder

one of my favourite parts of the stolen version was always how pissed she sounds during the "oooh"s in the prechorus and I'm so glad she kept that in

I'm nearly to the vault songs and it still doesn't feel real that 1989TV is out

You Are In Love TV:

this is in my top 5 on 1989

I love this song so much

nevermind I want this kind of love

which is weird because I genuinely can't imagine myself having this kind of love but whatever lol

New Romantics TV:

last rerecording before the vault songs!

CAUSE BABY I COULD BUILD A CASTLE OUT OF ALL THE BRICK THEY THREW AT ME

"Slut!" (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault):

I claimed this vault song so I'm like so fucking excited right now

omg it sounds so fun

the tempo of the lyrics feels weird ngl

the chorus is fun but the verses are (hopefully) gonna grow on me

(it's my least favorite vault song, message in a bottle has officially been pushed out of its place 😭)

Say Don't Go TV FTV:

this is a fucking guy punch holy shit

my phone was dying during this one so I was trying to fix it for the most of it

musically, this was more what I was expecting from slut

Now That We Don't Talk TV FTV:

this fucking hurt so ow

it's cruel his shirt this song is

Suburban Legends TV FTV:

it's giving mastermind

no thoughts just wow

Is It Over Now TV FTV:

wtf it that intro?!?!

"only rumours bout my hips and thighs/and my whispered sighs" I fucking love how this is said

I love her your honour
