#ohhhhh. ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. you know what this means right

[takami-takami]

On Keigo's relationship with his mother versus his father.

Keigo only calls his dad "my dad". I cannot find a single panel where he calls him "dad."

But he repeatedly calls his mom "mom".

Look at these:

(Ignore the part abt the commission, not relevant.)

See the look on his face when Shoto's mom says "he started calling me 'mom' again"? The little "I see."

In addition, take a look at this.

Keigo's reaction to his dad leaving:

But when he's alone with his mom... He still tries to stay together with her. "Lets go to the police." Together.

But once she gives him up to the commission, he severs those connections for good, though. Entirely abandoned, he leaves her in turn.

I think his tale with his parents is incredibly tragic, but the way he views his father versus his mother is very different. He is much more removed from his father, viewing him as someone he needed saving from. In contrast, he views his mother as someone he failed to save.

a

That's it, no funny intro this time, I've been waiting all goddamn day to see this and I don't exactly know how to phrase my excitement.

Aside from that, here's some Spoilers, I guess...

-Also, I was spoiled on the fact that George is indeed transforming. I uh... didn't mean to spoil myself, but I follow Noritaka Hamao on Twitter and he was super jazzed about the whole thing so good for him!

-Aaaaand there he is! Ikki-nii!

-He's physically incapable of calling Sakura anything other than "Karate Girl". I mean, he's not wrong, but I assume that he might break out into hives if he does call her by name.

-Ohhhh, somebody's dying. Or perhaps truly becoming one.

-"They defy all scientific reason, but 'God damn' I hope they make it."

-Demons moment!

-Wait... from a few episodes ago... when Vail left the Demons Driver and Olteca raged about his modifications...

-He modded it for himself, didn't he.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey!

-He's not your average science man! He's basically playing god.

-His English is truly glorious.

-Hey, fellas. You okay?

-Oh, I guess not!

-Ohhhh, that's spooky.

-We're all the way back in the past. ...or at least, in what Ikki remembers.

-"No one can ever know" feels a lot more ominous now.

-Very... lovely twinkling music!

-Oh god, we really are back in the past.

-OH GOD DEMONS

-Er, that is, the Gifterians.

-This is... a lot scarier than I was expecting?

-He's having an inner struggle, he's fine.

-AGUILERA NO

-Oh, he's a douchebag fiance too! ...I mean, he is a groomer, a mass-murderer, probably very racist, and a literal demonic god, but that slap caught me off guard.

-Cults are monstrous beyond my comprehension. Fuck Gifu and fuck Akaishi, I can't wait to kick their asses.

-OHHHHH HE'S GIFU NOW

-Olteca, you mad man!

-Phase 4 then?

-Jesus Christ, I'm getting really bad vibes from these demons.

-OHHHH

-FUCK DUDE

-Man, looks like Dai-chan's already struggling.

-Tamaki, bro, pls

-George, buddy, I know you're having the time of your life right now, but you gotta rein it in a little.

-Ah, yep, looks like he took a bit too much.

-Vail's got a real twisted sense of partnership. He's basically Genta's salty douchebag ex-boyfriend.

-"Fuck the fighting. Go play Minecraft or something instead!"

-Ohhhh, there he is. A Shadow, of Ikki's true inner self. All of his Vice centered into a physical form. Insert I'll Face Myself here. Preferably the Reincarnation version, that's the best one.

-Oh he's healin'. Cheating bitch.

-You logically should know all of his moves, man.

-Remember the fam!

-Damn, these feels

-Aibou...

-Ikki stands to protecc

-They're back up!

-THUNDER GALE!

-COME ON! THUNDER GALE GO!

-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the wind's blowing!

-HEY HEY HEY HEY!!!!

-Revice!

-Thunder Gale! Amazing!

-REVICE DA!

-OHHHH HE FAST

-That Cross of Fire burns real hot!

-OHHH THEY SPEAK AT THE SAME TIME THAT'S SO COOL

-STOMP HIM

-Now that. Is a fucking thunderstrike.

-Not gonna do a count down? I'll do it then!

-3!

-2!

-1!

-De-merged!

-OH GOD OLTECA

-oHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT'S NOT GOOD AT ALL

-Guess he got everything he wanted and is going home to his apartment to smoke weed or something. He doesn't even acknowledge Aguilera.

-We're back!

-...and also we're fucked!

-Let her go, man. She absolutely needs to have a good long think.

-Hello, Daddy. You probably owe a lot of child support.

-Yeah, I don't blame you, George.

-Fuck you Akaishi.

-It seems we're all fighting from a different angle for the same purpose. Sakura with the Weekenders, Daiji with internal reformation, and Ikki and Vice on call for whatever comes up.

-There's a whole 6 stamps left on that sheet. It would seem our time with the Igarashi family has yet to come close to over.

-MOVIE WHAT

-Goddamn, looks like we're gonna have to do some funky detensioning. I hope it's not like a glorified recap episode or clipshow.

-(*Looks left.. looks right... leans into microphone...*)

-...where Jeanne super form?

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Chapter 12: The 4pm Bookstacks (Part 2)

Previously: Yashiro and the suspicious girl (yes, I’m gonna keep calling her that until we learn her name) met for the first time. Her suspicion levels rose to even greater heights since she seems not only to know about Hanako (and the other mysteries) but also she seemed to imply that there’s possibly another little ghost boy going around? Which made me ask a lot questions last chapter, and apparently they will be answered in due time, so I won’t repeat those here. Anyway, following her advice, Yashiro and Kou ventured into the 4pm Bookstacks a.k,a. the fifth mystery of the school to hopefully learn more about Hanako. And Yashiro did find some details but the big terrifying butterfly monsters in that boundary made their little expedition come to an unexpected end. Thankfully, Hanako and...Tsuchigomori, yes, that was his name, appeared just in time to get rid of the two big butterfly Yashiro and Kou look-alikes. Tsuchigomori really wasn’t pleased with the state the kids left the bookstacks in sooo..... we’ll see what happens.

Now onto the next chapter!

Ohhhhh we’re starting with a colour page of the last portion of last chapter! It’s so gorgeous and btw one of the main things that caught my attention when I saw the anime screenshots was the art style and the colouring. And I gotta say, the manga really doesn’t dissapoint, it’s so beautiful.

Okay, so onto the actual chapter and....

I legit had to go check how the last chapter ended again because I thought I was forgetting something but no. It seems like we’re starting after a little timeskip and Tsuchigomori wants Yashiro to say something?

Ah, here’s narrator Yashiro again. And I just

There’s so much going on here. Hanako cheering with the fans, the little “shame” sign above her head, the “(working title)” gag, and omg the little radishes with the microphones pffft I can’t. This manga really is something else.

But yes, Yashiro is recapping what happened between the end of the last chapter and the start of this one.

Kou mentions that he can’t believe that one of their teacher’s is not actually human and yeah, finding out someone you interact with almost every day is actually a supernatural being must be quite a shock. huh? But! Tsuchigomori says that it’s more common than one would think

Huh. When he puts it like that, I can see his point. I mean, there must be an array of supernaturals that aren’t necessarily bound to a place and they might not want to live in hidding. If they can blend in with the humans and live semi-normal lives, then why not do it? Also, being able to influence your own rumors makes a lot of sense, that way you would be able to stop them if they got too out of hand. But also

................well, now that he’s said that, I’m 90% sure that one of them will end up being a supernatural. Because come on, it would make the plot more exciting.

Yashiro brings up a good point: that could be dangerous, but Hanako says that they shouldn’t worry since that’s what the mysteries are here for and I just 

There’s something so funny about this panels. Like, the contrast between Hanako’s cheery disposition and Tsugochimori and Yako’s just overall “done” aura it’s just great. 

It just keeps getting better pffffft Yeah, idk if that’s the best way to describe their group. “Emo spider” made me giggle more than it probably should have

............Yes, the leader thing is clearly true. And I talked about it during last chapter, but I really wonder if he’s the “boss” because he’s the most powerful one of the bunch and because his task is to take care of not only the random apparitions but also the mysteries themselves (like with what happened with Yako). Also jfc sometimes I forget how scary Hanako can get

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh we have a clearer picture of the mysteries!!! Okay so we have Hanako, Yako and Tsuchigomori highlighted since we have met them already. Then we have another three: I had noticed the girl and the mirror before but this confirms that they are two different mysteries; then there’s a clocked figure....that I know it’s facing away from us but my brain just keeps seeing it as a big bug that has huge bulging eyes and almost human teeth and I hate it. But this is just showing six right now, yes? There’s one missing? (EDIT: Oh, I think I see it now, there’s a separate silhouette between Yako and the bug man, right?)

But anyway!! the important point is here is that apparently they think there’s a traitor among them. And they think this traitor has tied their fate to a human and they’re using this human as a way to alter the rumors around the school. So the human would be the suspicious girl because we know that she’s been spreading rumors. And if that’s the case, then this possibility about the “other Hanako” being the traitor would also be high. Because, come on, the drama would unbelievable

Ohhhhhh that’s interesting. So the reason they think that one of the seven is behind this is because only a powerful supernatural would be able to change the rumors in a way that would actually affect another one of the seven mysteries. And I was right to a point: there meeting was indeed about the changes in the rumors.

...........oh. I mean, I guess that would get rid of the problem. But I really need to know what that would entail. Because it obviously isn’t permanent if he says it’s only “for a while”. Like, would it involve doing something like what they did with Yako? Because Hanako had said that she had to “return her number” or something of the sort when he fought her, right? And she has less power than she had before, too, right?

Ah, okay. The next page confirms that yes, that’s exactly the case. And because of that, Hanako’s idea is to destroy all of the mysteries’ yorishiros before they even have a chance of going berserk. And I can see the value in doing that but like, what if the “traitor” isn’t, for some reason, actually part of the seven? Wouldn’t that leave them vulnerable?

And I agree with Tsuchigomori (side note: my brain always autocorrects his name to “tsugochimori” and I have to make a conscious effort to actually type his name the correct way why is this so hard for me). It does seem like quite a rash plan to put into action, even if they can reappoint the mysteries later on. Then again, I understand why Hanako wants to avoid pissing Teru off because we know how that went and... yikes

Pffffft this face made me laugh so much, it reminds me of one of my favourite Tanjirou faces.

^this one

Also ngl my heart stopped for a second when he said “no” because I thought it would lead to a fight but then I scrolled down so thankfully that’s not the case.

.................. *looks up echinococcus*: any of a number of tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus whose larvae are parasitic in humans and domestic animals. 

Omfg by e that’s harsh but also so nerdy. Yako’s response is both appropriate and incredibly over the top at the same time. I really like their dynamic so far

Ohhh okay. Tsuchigomori says that he’s a supernatural who craves knowledge, and if they’re gonna destroy his yorishiro and temporarily take away his boundry, then he wants information that would be valuable enough as compensation. And, okay, I now see what the beginning of the chapter was about.

Ah, he says that he will still let Yashiro destroy his Yorishiro even if they don’t tell him anything, but he says that if they don’t, then he will broadcast their most embarrassing secrets to the school. That.......that would do it, yeah, I completely understand why Yashiro was so willing to talk at the beginning. That would be a nightmare jfc

.............still kinda hot ngl

Btw I love that this is drawn as a fighting game, it’s so cute.

Yashiro gives it a shot but Tsuchigomori is not impressed. 

(Side note but Hanako’s reaction just gives me life:

He doesn’t even try to hide his jelousy, does he?)

Omg he’s reading the one of the letters she “exchanged” with Teru and omfg Tsuchigomori stop she’s already dead

Okay now it’s Kou’s turn. Good luck, sweet child. It’s probably something really pure

...........Baby boy, bless him

Both of them are getting fired up and spitting out their secrets and they’re such small and dumb secrets, bless their little hearts

Ohhh and Kou is appealing to what’s probably their last resort: asking Hanako to spill any secret he might have (there are probably a lot of secrets, my instincs tell me Hanako’s secrets probably have secrets)

Oh? What’s this we have here? Those looks scream shared history. Well, I guess that Tsuchigomori could have read Hanako’s book since that’s part of his boundary. It would make sense for him to have read it. But idk, I feel like there’s something more to it that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like, why would he say “enough”? Because he’s read Yashiro’s book and he still wanted to know more. What makes Hanako different?

���‿ಥ

and

ಥ‿ಥ ಥ‿ಥ ಥ‿ಥ 

They’re so freaking cute I can’t deal with it omg Also look at Hanako’s surprised face! The NeneKou combo is too pure to resist

.......................................................of all the things I could have expected, this was not one of them. I- why is that so wholesome, though?? like, it’s really silly but also no one gave this child the right to be so freaking adorable (EDIT: also, is this gonna be relevant to the chapter title “donuts”? is Hanako gonna get some yummy donuts? I would honestly be okay with a chapter that centered around that. let the baby have his donuts)

“Are you both morons?” Yes, Tsuchigomori, they are. geez, I thought you had read their books, you should know by now. But also give them so leeway, they’re excited to learn more about their ghost friend. Like seriously

Look at them, they’re so happy together, even Hanako has what seems to be a genuine smile. And by that comment I’m guessing that Tsuchigomori noticed that, as well

Hmmm. Okay, two things: 1) so Tsuchigomori did read Hanako’s book and knows everything about his life 2) the fact that, knowing everything about him, he believed that Hanako wouldn’t want to create any new friendships AND the fact that this kinda implies imo that he hasn’t seen Hanako making that kinda gentle expression before is all just. really sad and it makes my heart hurt

 Anyway, sad thoughts aside, spiderman here tells them their time is up because their secrets are so ridiculously dumb that they’re not worth discussing.

Why is he so fucking weird? and why do I kinda fucking love him already??

This man just keeps earning more and more points in my book

But yeah, he says that he’s not gonna broadcast their secrets since he was (kinda) joking and he did end up seeing something interesting after all. In the end, he agrees to take them to his yorishiro! Yaaay!

the great indian dysfunctional family ep 1 lb

gosh just seeing swaroop sampat in the credits is making me soooooo happy.

oh starting right off with a house party blasting ladki byootiful kar gayi chulllll. ironic wink wink since the show had a heavyyyyyyy kapoor & sons vibe in the trailer. 

they even stole the smoking a joint in the bathroom scene. cool cool cool.

i’m guessing chubby-cheeked, reluctant-joint-smoker addu (aditi) here is the baby sister of the two guys?

addu’s being a real bummer towards her bride friend and dissing the groom. hmmmm. is she just not a nice person, or is there something more there?

lmao she just told some annoying dude slamming on the loo door to “bhag behenchod” tho, so maybe i like her?

cut to samar (barun) who seems to be a doting moon-eyed husband. nice.

sobti’s wedding ring featuring in prominence as always.

dude you cute and all but you’ve got to give up your 4 Lions Leading Man habit of driving so carelessly. why do literally none of you guys keep your eyes on the damn road??? maana ki biwi bohut hi cute hai lekin is rate par kisi ki jaan lekar rahoge tum log. 

oh he’s a chef (i think.) dang, this might be the most attractive role sobti’s played.

he just pulled the car over for a quickie! waaah re daring! get some, boo!

addu has zero spine to stand up to peer pressure. also her bride best friend (nandu) needs to quit literally shoving joints and shots into her mouth.

the music is now assi vele from student of the year. whoever’s in charge of the party playlist here seems to be a siddharth malhotra stan.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh boy, does addu have history with nandu’s to be dulha? yikes.

and now she won’t let her one non-asshole (guy) friend pee in peace. we’re only 5 min in, but i think addu’s kinda a terrible friend.

of course guy friend is not so secretly in love with her. enough to let her wipe her puke-stained mouth off on his shirt. sigh.

okaaaaay. kay kay’s character is On Edge.

and his son, mridul, seems to have inherited it from him? he’s veryyyyy cute, but there’s something... about him.

ok the rifle might be overkill, vikram.

lmao what a welcome samar and wife got.

swaroop has just made her entry and said her first line and i already know i love her the mosttttttttttt in this show.

vikram is already glaring at mom’s laad for baby bro. ~~~~~DRAMA!!!!!

they took the unfixed stair gag from modern family, and gave it a sorta angstyyyyyyyy turn.

clearly samar’s wife is ~~~the cool one.

vikram seems... regressive and needs to tone down his opinions on a woman he’s JUST met.

who’s this other unidentified lady with swaroop? the house-help?

ooooooh samar was in the army. (as was vikram too, i suspect, from his general demeanor.)

samar + wife (sonali) have a nice easygoing happy comfort and intimacy with each other. it gives me the warm fuzzies.

vikram needs to let this humaaare ghar ki auratein don’t smoke bs go. esp. since we know swaroop’s character likes to puff puff pass from the trailer. 

AND LOL ADDU WAS JUST CARRIED IN BY HER FRIENDS WITH A CIGARETTE IN HER MOUTH. SO MUCH FOR THAT.

samar chachu! ohhhhh addu’s vikram’s daughter!

wait, it’s nandu who’s greeting samar that way. addu hasn’t even noticed samar’s here.

.... is nandu family? apparently samar’s here to attend her wedding. so they’re clearly close. but that guy at the party called nandu addu’s best friend? huh.

drunk/high addu is giving expository details much to family’s discomfort: vikram’s retired from the army coz of an injury. and he’s the one who set nandu up with... whoever she’s marrying.

addu dgaf about all the awkward tho.

dumbass boy in love with addu is describing helping addu puke like she was giving him a bj (“main khada hua tha... she was on her knees... i held back her hair...”) cool. nice story to tell HER DAD. WHO’S HOLDING A LOADED RIFLE.

sonali and swaroop’s character (can we have a name already?) are the only two people with any real chill here, and i look forward to seeing them bond.

vikram did notttttttttttt appreciate samar telling him to not grab addu so hard and is now lashing out at his interference. ugh he needs to chill.

and now there’s baap-beti tension. lord, what a mess. we’re just 11 minutes in.

addu’s like “lol welcome to the fucked up sasuraal of your nightmares, chaachi!” and sonali’s now thinking haan cute toh hai yeh BUT AT WHAT COST??? WHAT HAVE I MARRIED INTO?????

vikram’s wife is very mild mannered as of now. can’t wait to see all the crazy SHE’S hiding!

ohhhhhhhh mridul seems to be mute, and speaks sign language. ah man. i hope the show treats his character properly without any ableist bs.

cut to next morning, and samar’s getting handsy. uh huhhhhhh honey.

SAMAR AND SONALI ARE HELLA CUTE AND #COUPLEGOALS AND PLEASE GOD LET THEM REMAIN THIS CUTE AND HAPPY.

meanwhile vikram’s doing some kinda.... army waalon ki tuition?

LOL SAMAR CAN’T.... “FOCUS” COZ BADE BHAIYYA IS YELLING ABOUT FOCUS RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW.

“soldier down” lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo poor samar.

sonali’s saying thanks for protecting me from your trashfire of a fam for as long as you did.

gosh i just really like samar and sonali together. they seem like a couple who genuinely like each other as friends AND spouses. again, throwing up a most fervent prayer to the heavens that their relationship survives the show.

okaaaaaaaaay creepy house-help seemed to be eavesdropping on them.

finally a name for vikram’s wife. geeta. who has a really nice terrace garden it seems and is showing it off to some friend of hers on a video call.

friend only cares about samar’s return though. #relatable

who’s swaroop (WHAT’S HER CHARACTER’S NAME?????) waiting for????

LMAO HER DEALER.

dealer and baai seem to have a flirtation going onnnnn.

addu’s bitching about her fam to sonali first thing in the morning. brush toh kar lene do behen.

ok addu’s putting nazar on samar/sonali by remarking how happy and sane they are. oh gosh, pls don’t.

sonali is giving addu some well-meaning tippani on how following your heart makes you happy and we all know addu’s gonna take that and apply it in the most fucked up way possible and blow everything up to shit.

vikram is aggrieved that addu is pulling standard desi kid maneuver of resolutely avoiding papa after fucking up last night. lol.

get yourself a man like samar, who WHOAAAAAAAAAs when you dress up nice.

and a saas who calls you a “totaaaaaaa”.

lol the khataara family van is called “sharon”.

i’m guessing this is nandu’s sangeet we’re at. still don’t know how she’s related to these ppl though. i’m guessing a cousin or something?

yeah, looks like nandu is the daughter of a cousin of samar and vikram.

i envy sonali’s confidence and verve and ability to cheerfully blend with whatever crowd she’s in.

mridul in the bg beamingggg at samar chaachu’s happiness is making my heart glow. he’s so cute.

oh so nandu’s all sanskaari and shit now, and mad at addu for getting high last night. again, i remind you, she literally shoved the joint and shot AT addu.

but there’s some srs tension between these two, thanks to addu having some hang up with this wedding/dulha.

oh boy, it’s heading towards confrontation. in a weirdly... like... they’re getting into each other’s spaces in a... romantic way?????

OMFG WAIT WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. IT’S NOT THE DULHA ADDU WANTS. IT’S THE BRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE, BUT AREN’T THEY COUSINS????????????? OR ARE THE FAMILIES JUST THAT CLOSE THAT THEY’RE ALMOST RELATED. EITHER WAY, OH ADDU. OH MAN.

aaaaaaand sonali just saw addu lay a kiss on nandu (who pushed her away angrily.) whoa. welcome to the sasuraal, indeed.

oh the credits have finally given me a name for swaroop’s character. premlata. thank you!!!!!!

a comprehensive humanz listening experience

henlo friends i wrote this as i listened to the entire humanz album for the first time. here are my thoughts and revelations written in real life as i went through this life-changing and at times harrowing experience. i hope you enjoy

intro: i switched my robot off

is that russel’s voice

that FUCKIN TRANSITION INTO ASCENSION??? damn

7/10 im fuckin ready

ascension

gets me fuckin pumped as always

BE A PUPPET ON A STRING HANGIN FROM A FUCKIN TREE

9/10 after like 50 plays over the past few weeks it’s still great 

strobelite

oh this is a cute intro. very bouncy

sounds like a hip and trendy remix of the seinfeld intro. im digging it

this is the type of song you go swaggering down the street to wearing ur fancy new 70s disco duds

just had a mental image of murdoc dancing disco to this

i feel like this is gonna grow on me in the coming weeks

noodle’s falsetto is so cute she’s going so hard i love her

7/10 i like how happy it was

saturnz barz

honestly after how joyful strobelite was this tempered the album really nicely

i still can’t listen to this song without thinking about murdoc’s dick. minus one point

honestly i’m only four songs deep and the album already has got a really strong electronic pulsing haunting vibe going and i love how well it all goes together

death by 2d. those vocals? WHACK and by whack i mean i want to cry it’s so beautiful

6/10 always a classic and gave us THE BATH but honestly i’ve always liked the other singles a bit more and i don’t want to think about murdoc’s dick

momentz

what is happening

MOMENTZ that scared me

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT HHOTLY SHIT

THEY’RE GOIN OFF

DAAAAAAAMN 2D

dirty

im gonna SCREAM THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD THIS GOES SO FUCKING HARD GOD FUCKIN DAMN

whose voices are those?? the high voices saying plastic on the ceiling

is that 2d and noodle omf

honestly the fact that this is in a major key makes it like. really psychedelic party hard i can see people headbanging and on hella drugs listening to this

i think i liked the intro part more than when it got all dreamy at the end

7/10 kind of petered off at the end but the intro was really amazing

interlude: the non-conformist oath

i promise not to repeat things other people say lmao

4/10 obligatory weird shit from damon

submission

ohhhHHHHhh the vocals

OOOHHHHHHH THE BACKING VOCALS

ohhHHhhHHHHHHHH fuck fu cku fucK i love the backing choir it’s so gorgeous 

all the choir backings make me think of the whole band just singing quietly together in the back and. idk it’s such a good image of them all being so deep into their music and jamming together and on the same wavelength

what the hell kind of noise is 2d making in the background of this

i feel like this is gonna get stuck in my head in the next week 

HOLY SHIT THE RAP i like his rap style very erratic 

the choral vocals behind the jumpy rap is so good

this is honestly something i think of when i think of the word celestial

8.5/10 this is gorgeous but i’m saving 9s and 10s for things that really knock me off my feet 

charger

is this the orange juice lady

super tough leather jacket vibe murdoc def wrote this

fuuuuuuuuuuck stu’s lil breathy speaking voice. honestly im weak for high pitched breathy stu voice he’s so cute fuck me up

a cha cha cha

i feel tough listening to this like walking into a gritty bar and smirking at everyone. the beat is really stalky

idk normally i don’t really like songs without very much melody but its p well done 

OHHHHH the electronic whistles that’s good

murdoc probably was fuckin his bass for this one

okay more melody at the end!!! choral backing vocals are back too i like it more now

6/10 2d’s vocals got me wet ngl

interlude: elevator going up 

wait that was so short

uh 5/10 because the guy says going up like gooOOOooing up which is nice

andromeda

ohhHHHh okay honestly with the interlude before it it’s nice it feels like im taking a fast glass elevator up to space 

OH I JUST GOT WHY THERE’S LIKE AN ELEVATOR SOUND AS THE FIRST NOISES

this like. cleansed my palate and calmed me down after charger. 

the drum? ??  poppin. smooth backing instrumentals. noodle’s little humming in the background? adorable. 2d’s falsetto? magnificent

the little melody right before take it in your heart now lover always gets me it’s so dancy i always bounce around to it. so great

andromedaaaaaaaa (andromedaaaaaaaa)

when does damon cry

8/10 another hit single and it reminds me of like neon signs and retro roller rinks

busted and blue

OH FUCK IT TRANSITIONS

OH FUCK THIS IS THE ONE THAT MAKES EVERYONE CRY ISN’T IT

ohhhHHHHHhhhhh god oh god this is gonna fuck me up 

FUCK

death by 2d 

ohh. oh my god. fuck. fuCK. fuck the vocals. fuck. the vocals. 

my heartstrings

is it about 2d? because if it is. oh god that’s so sad

amplify the sirens more like amplify my sobs because there are tears

so deep and ethereal i feel like i’m sitting on a roof staring up at the stars about to fall into space

I CAN’T GET BACK WITHOUT YOU

this is another love song on par with to binge or on melancholy hill

murdoc niccals or stuart pot or SOMEONE IN THIS BAND is in LOVE WITH SOMEONE and it’s BREAKING THEM APART 

THE BACKING VOCALS oh noooo oh noo oh no

fuck i’m really actually tearing up i [note: i had to stop here because my breathing was getting funny and i was tearing up and my rommate is asleep so i had to calm down]

he sounds like a lost little child looking at the stars through his window 

the deep bass sounds and the minor chords and the gentle snapping. im floating

THE SLIDING NOISES this is what it feels like to be in space my heart is so cold and empty but so full 

the ending satellite. the gentle rain noises. the setting down of the music. goodbye i am dead tell damon albarn that he has killed a person on this day

10/10 this song is one of those rare ones that catches me by the heart and reminds me of dark blue and stars. thenks damon albarn for my life and someone please comfort 2d 

interlude: talk radio

why are there so many interludes in this damn album

wtf

uhhhhhhhh

is this guy okay

2/10 what the fuck

carnival

what the fuck

oh okay that opening beat was cool

is someone knocking on a door. let them in

the keyboard in the back is cool i guess

someone please let whoever’s knocking in 

very bobby womack-y vibe. pretty intense between the dark instrumentals and the KNOCKING WHICH DOES NOT END

hyeAUp

3/10 i didn’t really like it. very spinny tho and it goes well with the rest of the album as like a filler song

let me out 

MAMA MAVIS OH MAMA THEY TRY MY PATIENCE

OH OH OH IT’S GONE WHO IS LEFT TO SAVE US

OH OH OH WE MOURN IM PRAYIN FOR MY NEIGHBORS

THEY SAY THE DEVIL’S AT WORK AND oh IS CALLIN FAVORS

honestly the little electronic oh oh oh’s in the beginning are what i live for

plus they bleep out trump which is hilarious drag him damon

let me out let me out let me out it’s DEL LET HIM OUT

fuck this was my favorite out of all the singles i listened to it 15 times today

2d’s vocals are adorable yeah yeah yeah 

the whispering gets me SO MCFREAKING PUMPED im ready to OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT

the build up gives me legitimate shivers. the whispering and the choral vocals ugH i love it

you gotta die a little if you wanna live

the ending is so haunting

let me out 

9/10 i love this song so much please let del out. my only problem with it is that i sound dumb when i try and sing the first lines with the electronic oh’s 

interlude: penthouse

REALLY ANOTHER ONE

damn someone’s goin hard

ding

5/10 sounds like one of those audio posts where people do some song but heard through the wall 

sex murder party 

just looking at the title i know murdoc wrote this

oohhhhh nice beat

this is like going to a cool underground house party with lots of smoke and colored strobe lights somewhere in germany

is someone playing the kazoo

idk i don’t think 2d’s sleepy sad vocals really go with this it sounds like he’s mourning while walking down a runway

on that note: model 2d walking down a runway. he would fall off the stage almost immediately

this sounds like something that would play in forever 21

the deep voice has some cool lyrics 

why are they whimpering the words sex murder party 

the kazoo is back

murder murder murder muuurder 

4/10 didn’t love it but it was better than carnival and it had a kazoo 

she’s my collar

ohHHH i like this very punk pop

oH SHIT damn stu those vocals tho

wait what is he talking about a collar

DID HE JUST SAY SHE’S MY FURSONA

i likE IT IT’S VERY DARK AND BOUNCY AND ETHEREAL BUT UHHHHH IS THIS A REFERENCE TO ALL THE BDSM AND FURRY SHIT GOING ON THIS PHASE

the panting .. . . mmmmmm

2d’s tryna get some 

KALI DAAAAAAAMN

this is a really sexual song but i really love it 

i really love when 2d speaks quickly and semi-raps 

kali’s vocals are gorgeous. also her snapchats were great

she’s my collar she’s the one i’m running with 

im jammin out this is gonna be my new jam 

FUCk the panting came back i. wasn’t expecting this

9/10 2d’s into some kinky shit but i’d still let him fuck me 

WAIT THE PANTING IS A REFERNECE TO DOGS FUCKING SHIT IT’S A PUPPY PLAY REFERENCE WITH ALL THE 2D DOG STUFF THIS PHASE FU ck

i am. kinkshaming. minus one point for making me suffer through this realization

interlude: the elephant

COME THE FUCK ON THEY’RE NOT INTERLUDES ANYMORE IF THEY TAKE UP THREE QUARTERS OF THE GOTDAMN ALBUM

uhhhhh again. what the fuck

2/10 these are getting annoying

hallelujah money

so unsettling and weird but that’s what it’s going for i guess

ben clementine’s voice is so good and it sounds like a sermon esp with the choir in the back i love it

idk it makes me sad because it reminds me of the night of the election and how everyone cried and was so scared

i love the chord progressions

haaaaaaallelujah moneeeeeeey 

again 2d’s vocals kill me i have been slain thrice

we are still humans, how will we know, how will we dream, how will we love

what fantastic lyrics. the crux of the album tbh i feel like i’m being told a story

this song terrifies and creeps me out but makes me feel warm and strong like i can face the scary things it brings up??  i don’t like it as a song per se but as a piece of art with a message it’s absolutely amazing

HALLELUJAH MONEY

where is my spongebob scream

8/10 i never loved this song but i appreciated the chord progressions a lot this time around and it adds a lot to the message of the album. also it fuckin destroys donald trump lmao damon what is ur damage i love it

we got the power 

honestly it’s upbeat and i like that but it’s a little bit too cheesy for me

the claps in the back remind me of that shitpost where it’s like the people in the 80s doing that weird dance yoga

this is a good song to do jazzercise to. imagine murdoc doing jazzercise

 never mind don’t do that

“on the m1″ is that a reference to m1a1?

oh oh oh stu ur so cute

the backing instrumentals are so powerful i feel like i am being propelled through the stratosphere on russel’s back

5/10 it’s cute and happy but i never really ever got into it even after having had time to

interlude: new world

P L E A S E N O M O R E I N T E R L U D E S 

this sounds like an electronic soap opera intro theme song

the elevator? ? i guess the elevator is the new thing this album

oh fuck this is creepy 

yikes yikes YIKES 

honestly it has an actual uhhhh music ish thing going on so?? ? i guess there’s that

i just wanted to be close to you BITCH NO GET THE FUCK AWAY 

2/10 because i don’t want to be close to whatever’s whisperin in my ear and also because apparently damon albarn does not understand what an interlude is 

the apprentice

so great. so jazzy. so cool and suave. 

clap clap clap cla-cla-clap i love the beat 

I AM A BROKEN SCREEN I’M A MAP ROUTINE

this is also going to get stuck in my head isn’t it

I’M INSIDE YOUR HEAD ya u are

oooohhh the electronics are so bubbly

THE FEMALE SINGER’S VOICE? ? ? SO SMOOTH SO GOOD so gorgeous im dead

this song reminds me of a lava lamp 

YO NEW BLACK KING NEW YORK DREAM 

IM THE FIRST BLACK PRINCE OF A NEW WHITE KING

god this rap is so great 

normally i don’t like slower songs but this one just. takes its time and jams out and knows exactly what it’s doing. what a bop

8/10 a solid addition to the album and holds its own really well 

halfway to the halfway house

this album is so long but i’m not complaining. actually i am a little because i have a writing sample due in an hour and a half and my computer is dying but this is more important 

nice spaceship sounds

2d’s really jamming out on those bloopy keyboard sounds isn’t he

it’s like floating in a pool of static kinda

i like the chorus esp since everyone in the band is singing together which i still think is so cute

everyone singing on it has really good voices but idk the fact that there’s no real melody kinda distracts from that 

it sounds like a congregation or a gospel choir which is super cool 

3.5/10 it was pretty cool but a little too aimless for me

out of body

pipe down pipe down

tHIS IS CREEPIN ME OUT

oh SHIT WAIT THIS IS SO COOL DAMN

i don’t know who’s rapping right now but i love her and her voice

THIS GOES OFF DAMN

i love it. i love this song this is so bouncy and cool and it’s so cute too with the lyrics telling you how to dance

noodle wrote this. noodle 100% wrote this

i feel so cool listening to this 

this is definitely going to be in a commercial for like. fashion or makeup or something 

this is the new runway song

this is something you listen to right before going out to some fancy european club with like models and weird plastic architecture

oH SHIT OH SHIT 2D’S RAPPING IM SCREAMIGN

FUCK 

FUCK IM YELLING his voice is so high im screeching

they made this fucking dork into a suave motherfucker 

9/10 i was briefly transformed into a european model and stuart “two-dents” pot makes his debut as a falsetto rapper and also establishes himself as the coolest baddest hippest raddest mofo out there despite not being able to tie his shoes 

ticker tape 

it’s almost over :(

very dreamlike and chill 

awwww the way he sings ticker tape is so cute 

the whistling!

okay this one’s cute it’s like. very dreamy and sweet

cauterized and beautiful wow i like those words 

i can see stu or russ singing this gently under their breath while just doing work. what a cute and sweet song 

it’s about healing? maybe they’re healing their relationships with each other. i hope so

a sudden draft and quick chill, a single snowflake falls and that is all damon your imagery is fantastic as always

ohh the acapella is so nice. this means murdoc had to go buh buh buh in the back which is cute 

the sudden stops are so quirky 

again i love the crackling of vinyl at the ends of some of these 

7/10 super cute and not what i expected at all from such a dark album

circle of friendz

the final song? ?? i hope it’s good i wanna give it a 10

ohhhh what’s gonna happen with this buildup

who’s breaking shit

aw these lyrics are cute even though they’re a little juvenile 

a circle of friends :))))))

the growing instrumentals in the back are so sweet 

stu and noodle singing my circle of friends as the last thing in the album rotted my teeth and gave me diabetes

a cute ending!!!! even though it didn’t wow me it made me smile

7/10 they are a happy family 

faves: ascension, saturnz barz, momentz, submission, andromeda, busted and blue, let me out, the apprentice, out of body 

overall: not going to give it a numerical rating because i would just give it a 10 because i was so excited for it. honestly i think it was a pretty solid album there weren't any breakout hits like feel good inc. or whatever but they did a really solid job on it in total. thenks damon albarn for my life please tell 2d and noodle and russel and murdoc i love them
