Alcibiades music playlists

Okay here it goes!

There are 2 english playlists and 1 greek. Note 1: so some of these are very self-indulgent and might not make sense but at the very least maybe you'll find a new song you'll like. this was really hard to do because evey song reminds me of him. I tried to make sure all the lyrics fit him somehow, might've failed at that, and the order is completely random.

Note 2:

a (v) next to a song menas it has a music video I reocmmend checking out,

a (s) means it is heavily socrates/alcibiades focused rather than just alcibiades.

GREEK PLAYLIST (with commentary, some translated lyric bits are in purple . If anyone wants a full translation of any specific one, let me know! songs are linked on the titles for your convenience)

-φρονιμα κουκλα μου (behave yourself, doll, I tell my soul. Everything will happen as we have planned it, there's a flirtiness towards the soul there that UGH idk) -μαγιατικο (every other lyric in this song is so alcibiades coded I am losing my mind) Newly brought spring, my red fate Awaken to speak your dreams Awaken and hold close The most beautiful things, the most distant, with stubborness and bait The haze from the perfumes, your youth's load I woke you up suddenly, I know You'll see I'll turn the wreath twice on my head, my mind is the warp and the weft is the world's daze -αναθεμα σε (the socrates/alcibiades mood here :''') shout out to my best friend, this is their favorite singer ) -κατω στης μαργαριτας τ'αλωνακι ( the overall vibe of the song gives me something alcibiades-like, also: their sleep smells like wildfire, the sun writhes on their teeth) -τα μπλουζ της αγριας νιοτης ("the blues of wild youth") -δεν χωρας πουθενα ("you don't fit in anywhere", but the phrase for fit in is here literally means not fitting in due to size, like something that doesn't fit in a box because it's too big, not because it doesn't match.) -με γελασαν τα πουλια (the birds tricked me and told me I would never die, so I built my house taller than the rest) -κοκκιν' αχειλι (traditional love song, there's some desperate feeling underneath it all that reminds me of alcibiades. also half the sun and the whole moon turns red after a kiss how crazy imagery is that) -ελα ψυχουλα μου (okay so I really fought with myself for this one because I think it's cringy as a song but some of the lyrics scream socrates/alcibiades and that made me put it on the list. I am sorry. I debated this for days but if I have to hear this and think of them, you have to as well.) -σιμουν (everything went wrong and everything is beautiful, along with "sends ships off the cliff, fades the shade and turns me into brushwood, but me, I don't care gives alcibiades) -καιγομαι και σιγολιωνω (again, socrates/alcibiades I am also partial to this version of it) -σπιρτο και βενζινη (tell me this isn't an alcibiades song with soc/al undertones i dare you) -γιορτη (set fire to what burns you, what eats at your soul, the streets outside are breathing, thirsty, open. Love is a trip from celebration to celebration. live with me in the wind, the fire, the rain, empty days and fractured skies await us, love is a trip from wound to wound) -παντα θα ξημερωνει (I'll become a thorn in your throat, dust in the eye, a whisper in your ear and shivers on your back, a splinter on your certainty) -Κρασι, θαλασσα και το αγορι μου ("wine, sea and my boy". a eurovision song from the first time greece took part in it.) -μη χαμηλωνεις τα φτερα (turn your heart into stone, and hold onto the stone)

[ratsoh-writes]

What would all the boys do if s/o slapped their ass. UuU

Pfff alrighty *cracks knuckles* let’s do this!!

Under the cut for a few of the horn dogs

Sans: he’ll freeze and his eyelights will go out. When you nervously come closer and asks if he’s ok, sans will whirl around and slap your butt in return. Don’t bother chasing him. He’s already shortcutted away lol

Papyrus: he yelps and will be so scandalized lol. How dare you slap his butt! Well you thought he was scandalized. The booty shorts he wore for the next week straight beg to differ lol. Papyrus will be so sad if you never tap the skelebooty again

Star: with no hesitation, he spins around and slaps a good hand print into your butt. Now you two match lol. Couples who tap the butt together stay together.

Honey: he squeaks in surprise and will back up while holding his rear defensively. But he never tells you to stop. Honey tries slapping you back one day but finds it isn’t for him

Red: instant bedroom eyes. Have fun ;)

Edge: he’s also scandalized, but unlike papyrus who’s too shocked to return it, edge will back SO into a corner and grab a VERY generous handful of their own butt. If you wanna play games, he’ll join you. Be warned

Mal: he LOVED that. Man, mal almost asks you to do it again ;)). You find he wears his ecto around you way more often ;))))))

Cash: he does the most obnoxious hentai moan to freak you out lol

Oak: his eyelights don’t go out, but his red eye does shrink as far as it can go lol. After his shock, oak will sheepishly chuckle and give your bum a firm pat if you let him

Willow: his butt is probably shoulder height to most people so he saw you raise your hand in the air first and caught it before your assault lol. When you explain what you were trying to do, he’s so flustered. So much that he runs away lol

Charm: he also moans obnoxiously loud. Then he asks you to do it again for extra emphasis lol

Sugar: you’re about to take your hand off his butt after the slap, when sugar puts his hand over yours to keep it there ;). If you sure gonna slap his booty, at least appreciate it a little better. He works hard on it!

Lord: he also moans. Then covers his mouth in horror. You broke him lol. Lord is unresponsive. Come back tomorrow

Mutt: “lookin’ for some attention there~?” Oh you’re getting your attention. Mutt is gonna a bruise on each cheek for the booty slap ;)

Wine: he casually stops what he’s doing and turns to you with the calmest pleasant smile. RUN.

Coffee: he squeaks in shock then makes this sort of breathy whine growl before chasing you down. You coffee end up roughhousing until either wine yells at you two to knock it off or you start making out lol

Pop: he also yelps in shock and immediately shortcuts lol. Then you hear that familiar crack noise and pop is back furiously pointing at you. “Y-you! You hit me!! You hit my butt!!”

Rhythm: he only gives a sly smirk and keeps doing whatever he was working on lol. You’ll get a casual pinch later on ;)

Pluto: you only hear a soft eep from him. Then he’s sinking into his hoodie. When you get him to come out, his face will be a dark aqua. So dark that his freckles look light in comparison

Jupiter: he sighs a little in exasperation at first but when he sees that the slap was from you, he’ll perk up and nuzzle your cheek or give a kiss in return. Unfortunately a lot of the gym ladies think it’s ok to tap his butt when he’s trying to do reps. The other jocks do a good job at covering him though

G: harder daddy~!! basically G says the most cringeworthy thing he can think of, then laughs at the look of repulsion on your face

Green: he lets out a soft “oh!” And will turn to give you a half chiding half fond look. He’s trying to be annoyed but can’t really get himself there lol

Peaches: if he was eating something, he’s spat it out lol. Peaches will hiss out whatever pet name he calls you in mock horror. Later in the day you find his hand keeps landing on your rear. he wants to slap back but can’t bring himself to. So he settles for it petting.

Rancher: “YOU DO NOT WANT TO START THIS GAME WITH ME DUCKLING~” you really don’t. Rancher can’t exactly slap your butt back as hard as he wants, so find a much more creative way to get revenge lol

Snipe: he LOVED that lol. Snipe will give that mischievous sultry look that only his SO can ever see. He keeps annoying you all evening in hopes of another pat or something more ;))

Bruiser: you can’t do this to him and not expect to get tapped back. It doesn’t matter how fast you run, bruiser will catch you. And he will slap that *ss

Butch: oh honey. You’re getting pinned to a wall. I’m sorry, no exceptions. Right as you start getting really into the kisses, butch stops and leaves you there all high and dry as revenge for the slap lol

Boss: someone needs to be taught a lesson on manners ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). You’re gonna be sore the next day lol. That’s all I can say

Ace: he bites his lip (lower jawbone?) at you lol. He might wiggle his butt a bit to entice another slap too. You won’t know if ace is actually flirting or just being a goof until you go for it again lol

Slim: he lets out this breathy little whine and look at you with those hopeful eyes. Slim will be devastated if you walk away afterwards. You can’t just give him that attention then leave him here!!

Rust: like red, you’re getting those bedroom eyes lol. Rust is already reaching for a grope

Noir: he’ll take a seat as if he’s trying to steady himself. When you come over in concern, noir suddenly grabs you and pulls you into his lap ;). Hah! Now that you’re caught face his revenge! (Aka kisses)

Lilac: he’s so exited to slap your butt back lol. You can practically see the sparkles in his eyes. Lilac adores it when his SO is playful with him

Basil: he straightens up in surprise but doesn’t squeak like honey. Instead he stares SO down for an almost comical amount of time before smiling and pulling them into a hug. Then pinching their butt hard enough to make them squeak

House of Mouse: Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In At the House of Mouse: A Rope of Sand Review (Patreon Review WeirdKev27)

Ho ho ho all you holly jolly people! We’ve come to the end of my christmas reviews for the year (i’m saving Danny Phantom for next year, don’t you worry), as I take time to spend with my love ones, relax, and bask in the warm glow of christmas. 

So with that it’s approriate to cap it off witht he final of the trilogy of house of mouse christmas specials: the DTV movie snowed in at the house of mouse. Like the last one it reuses wraparound material, shorts and what have you.  But also like the last one it has more theatrical shorts, and unlike that one the wraparound is actually charming this time instead of a waste of a REALLY great premise. SO a nice little bit of christmas. 

As with the last complation film, due to doing the other house of mouse christmas episode i’ve also done 2 1/2 of the shorts contained within. So like last time I did this with House of Villians i’ll be copy and pasting my reviews of those segments into this one, except for the christmas light fight as only a part of that segement made it over and frankly, most of it was spent on something they threw out, this monstrosity

 That way if your just coming in for snowed in at the house of mouse you don’t have to redo those segments. It’s also.. weird being this close to done with House of Mouse. As I said last time i’m not going away from it entirely, i’ll return for the right episode.. but it’s going to be weird NOT having this show on my monthly schedule. It won’t be quite the same when I go back so i’m going out on a high next time. As for this time see what I thought of this movie, it’s shorts, and it’s holiday cheer under the cut. 

Going segements first again since the wraparound ties things off more climactically again. Let’s a go.

Donald On Ice:

This one is pretty good but hampered by the ending. The boys build a snowman for a contest while donald skates with himself baby, and slides his way on over into some shenanigans. Again it works fine: the slapstick is pitch perfect, with mouseworks having really gotten what makes Donald work a lot of the time, and it goes a bit nuts in the best way possible as Donald gets chased by a mutant killer snow goon at one point.

Yup. No explination just a murder snowman. The boys snowman gets ruined in the process of the chase and.. donald gets chased off into the sunset.. because a snowman tried to kill him because he.. wanted to skate peacefully on his own? Yeah the ending sours what could’ve been a true classic, and thus weakens the whole short. Still might be worth a look just be wary of that.

Pluto’s Christmas Tree

One of only two shorts here that wasn’t recycled.. and it’s Chip N Dale.. and Pluto. Again

It’s what you’d expect from the title: Mickey finds a tree to chop down, dosen’t realize the two banes of my existance when their not two gumshoes who have our backs in it and they procede to torment pluto a bit who Mickey dosen’t seem to get has a reason for acting up. It’s still BETTER than a lot of these as Mickey dosen’t tourture the poor dog and Chip N Dale have a reasonable catalyst for their bullshit. Mickey chopped down their home and took it in his home. They just want revenge and to not get set on fire... oh yeah Mickey nearly sets Chip on fire because he imitated a santa candle. Or was it dale. Point is Mickey nearly set another rodent ablaze and angered his mousey god that’s the take away here. 

It’s.. fine. Obviously the fact I typed that like a man who just had his toe stepped on by an innocent child means i’m not the target audience for this short but it’s decent enough and Mickey sparing the two rodents because it’s christmas, while being saranaded by his friends doing carols is really sweet. TLDR, not for me, but not bad. And for a Chip N Dale short that’s the highest praise I can give it.  ood lord the one upside of not doing this is never having ot see those assholes outside of a trench coat or hawiaan shirt again unless I WANT TO. Hallejuah and holy shit where’s the tyllenol. 

The Nutcracker:

This is another one of those big, beautiful two part shorts they did, the kind that really stuck with me all these years. This is easily the best of the two parters i’ve rewatched and were it not for the two part Blot short, which we’ll get to soon enough.

It follows the basic plot of the nutcracker well enough: A vaugely aged girl is given a nutcracker by her eccentric uncle, said girl shrinks down, dances and romances with the nutcracker. Then she gets kidnapped by the rat king who wants to make her his bride because that’s all villians could think of back then, the nutcracker breaks his testicles with a silver baseball bat, everyone’s happy and then you loose 20 minutes of your life watching the dance of the sugarplum faries. And that’s without having seen the play in 20 years, it’s homaged and redone like this that much.

This short has fun with that by using the narrator, who interacts with the cast. THe best of this is at the start when Ludvig, playing the uncle (Minnie is naturally the girl, Mickey the nutcracker and Donald the rat king), gets increasingly pissed off at the narrator not letting him speak and narrating over all his lines. Ludvig is always a delight but here he’ sin top form with just the best expressions. Eventaully the narrator gets fed up with this and LITERALLY throws him out of the story uncle phil style. IT’s great stuff.

Donald meanwhile grumbles about his roll and only agrees when the narrator lies and says he’ll win in the end which only works due to Donald’s war on literacy.

Finally we have Goofy showing up and the narrator refusing to get in the middle of his whose on first shenanigans, and goofy simply putting a hat on to signify he’s the snow fairy. It’s truly fantastic and the ending, with Ludvig becoming the sugarplum fairy, is great and lampshades how utterly pointless that segment is. A true christmastime classic. Check it out.

Mickey’s Christmas Carol And now for the real meat of this movie. Clocking in at 28 minutes, this is the longest work featured on House of Mouse, with the HOM cut chopping it down only slightly. But frankly it’s the perfect showstopper to this movie, and i’m glad I finally saw it as this special, i’ts more of a special than a short really, is a true christmas feast.

Like some other shorts we’ve covered, this takes Mickey and Co and transplants them into classic literature. And given this came LONG before Mouseworks and this very show, I feel those shorts later on wouldn’t of existed without this for good reason. Out of them this is the best, a nicely crafted, short and sweet take on Dicken’s well worn tale. 

Like the other looks at classic literature, the beats are the same: Ebeneezer Scrooge, played here by Scrooge McDuck .of course, in Alan Young’s first time in his long career voicing scooge, is a wealthy old bastard who mistreats his only employee Bob Cratchet (Mickey Mouse), his nephew Fred (Donald Duck of course), and some guys coming to collect for the poor (Ratty and Moley from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride), all while reveling in his greed. He’s then visited that night by the Ghost of his Partner, Jacob Marley (Goofy) who warns him of the grisly fate his past leaves him on bound by the chains of his sins and tells him three ghosts will be here to set him straight: The Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows Scrooge his past as he was a kind young man with a loving girlfriend and a nice boss who gave up love for greed, the ghost of christmas present (The Giant from Mickey’s take on Jack and the Bean Stalk) where he sees Bob Cratchet barely strugglyg to feed his family and support his sickly son tiny tim, and Future (played by pete ) where Tiny Tim and Scrooge is dead, the latter unloved. Scrooge turns things around, donates a bunch to the poor, offers to go to freds and makes Cratchet partner. It’s a story we all know and love evne if it’s been told so. many. times. 

So rather than go blow by blow, i’d rather go into why this special is so amazing.  For starters we have the main reason: Alan Young as Scrooge. This is his first time playing the character in an actual story (having done some records before this), and he nails it, steps into the roll like he was born for it and let’s be real, he totally was. Scrooge’s greed, selfishness and arrogance are all well on display, as is his vunerabliity as the ghosts strip away his ego and reveal the consequences of his actions. He truly and perfectly merges Ebeneezer Scrooge with Scrooge McDuck, a feat that isn’t easy to the point Muppets had a human just play the role outright instead of try to make one of their own step into it. Here though Scrooge, and not just ofr the name, is perfect for the role and is damn hilarous too, from the simletaniously heartbreaking scene where he fines his fiance for their honemoon cottage, to him shoing out the charity guys by using some roundabout logic to say they’d be out of work, to finally on christmas day saying he can’t go out like this (with his coat over his jam Jams).. and then simply grabbing his cane and deciding he can now. This is one of Young’s best performances at the character and steals the show. 

The rest though just works: each character is well represented but also has bits of their disney selves: Fred gets angry at one point (while still being mostly joyful) since he is donald, and Goofy gets some wonderfully awesome slapstick as ebineezer, while Pete has his signature sneer yet is somehow just as terrifying as the ghost of christmas future should be. It makes this feel wholly i’ts own depsite again the story having been told 80 dozen times before and after this. I also like all the clever animated canon character uses: Jiminy cricket as christmas past, the giant as christmas present, mr toad as fezziwig. It’s all inspired and wonderful stuff. 

Finally we have the animation: it’s beautiful even decades later, to the point I watched the Disney+ cut of this rather than house of mouse to get it in the best quality, and it was worth it. Gorgeous crisp and expressive animation. 

All in all easily one of disney’s standout works with the classic crew, and a holiday classic i’ll be revisiting every year after this. Truly a miracle. 

Snowed in At the House of Mouse:

Finally we have this wraparound and while like last time it reuses some bits (the what i’m thankful for bits from the thanksgiving ep and Ludvig’s display of how santa gets around which I feel I neglected to ention so I am now: it’s a fun one where Ludvig clones himself, steals his mom’s cookies and in general is just nice to watch) it has a more solid throughline and story, opting to go simplier. Given House of Villians wasted a far more ambitious premise this was the right call. 

This time around Mickey is finishing up his christmas show for the year, only to find out their snowed in. So Mickey decides to double down, and have a big christmas party with everyone to make their spirits bright.  Donald naturally is a humbug about everything, so Mickey makes it his goal to cheer his friend up with some shorts and cheer. It’s a nice, wonderful idea that uses both well.  The scene where Mickey, seeingly defeated talks to jiminy, realizing both the true meaning of christmas (making others feel good) and wishing for a way to make everyone feel it, thus getting a christmas star is great as is the ending: Mickey gives Donald the star, which geninely warms him with the gesture, to put on top of the tree, finally winning him over in time for christmas carol. 

Then.. it all ends in a way that melts my heart. All the disney cast get together.. and sing a warm and lovely christmas song. Seeing all these characters, including Belle and Aerial in solos of all characters, such a lovely little bit, and by their va’s too if i’m not mistaken, come together, good or bad to share in christmas and the warm glow.. it just warms my heart so hot it’s now replaced the sun. It’s a truly touching and joyous way to end this film. 

As you can probably tell.. I think this movie is great. LIke House of Villians it packs the best themed shorts in with a few nice bonuses, capping it off in one of Disney’s finest works. They even have a nice original bit of the man on the street segment from the other christmas special I loved and no mortimer sexual harassment! Huzzah! It’s a truly nice, breezy little film, full of great shorts, cheers and a wonderful lesson and song to play us out. Check this one out if you can, still not on Disney+ still have a grudge about that. 

I got one more bit of house of mouse to get to but for now.. i’m going to enjoy this christmas eve, enjoy my family, and my own warmth of cheer. And i’d like to thank kev for getting me to watch this wondreful film. I hope you have a merry christmas bud, as do all of you. Whatever you celebrate, I hope it’s making your spirit bright. Thanks for reading, I Love you all.
