#sometimes you just gotta listen to a song

Having,,, gender

LISTEN. Jim’s theme from treasure planet is the Ultimate Ftm Vibe Song. It’s the song I listen to every time I become boy. And the immediate follow up is IRIS by goo goo dolls bc ITS IN THE SAME GENRE… SAME VIBE….. ABSOLUTE GENDER BANGER. ALSO FEELS

so um I’ve also decided that iris is Hei’s theme song for 3rd year bc that’s how his heart will ache while he’s. going Thru It. and by the end of the year…… he will be well enough to be have Jim’s theme instead as his theme.

Basically I’m going to listen to iris on repeat while writing the depressing parts of 3rd year. is what I’m saying

ALSO HEI WOULD GO FERAL OVER THE JWST IMAGES IF HE SAW THEM. HE WOULD

hope y’all are doing okay! Gal says hi :) Remember to eat and drink something, take breaks, and look after yourselves and each other! We love you! This has been a Daily Interaction Ask <3

okay before anything else: YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT JIMS THEM IT IS. for me its not a gender song but it IS a species song!! there is just Something About This Song man it hits so hard...like every time i hear it come up on my playlist i go into hawk mode so hard. there are some songs that have really good beats for flying to (and this is one of them) AND THEN THE LYRICS......literally top ten songs of all times. its got gender its got species it truly has it all.

also IRIS....god that is such a good song too!! out there listening to the BOPS ive never considered it as a gender song but i just listened to it and yeah. YEAH its about the and i dont want the world to see me / cause i dont think that they'd understand / when everything's made to be broken / i just want you to know who i am LIKE YEAH THATS GENDER BABEY!!!

man yes you really do have to find the songs that fit your characters and just listen to them forever when writing about them....literally such good songs to pick for hei. thank you bc of this ask i listed to them both and YEAH. YEAH!!!!

in return you get one of my current songs. its not a gender song its just a Vibes song idk the other day i heard it for yknow. 100th time or whatever but THIS TIME i sat there like oh my god. i understand everything now. anyways the song is so long by abhi the nomad idk WHAT about this song is hitting me but now i start tearing up whenever i hear it....the lines cause there's many many places you could be yeah / there's many many places you could see yeah / but you're stuck right here waiting for my words / to change your point of view just keep hitting me every single time.

literally this ask goes on my blog i think everyone should listen to these songs actually. time for another music recs with wyn and acacia.

also god yeah hei deserves to see those amazing stars....

ANYWAYS. we are doing good over here. hope you are too!

Just noticed a parallel thats eating my brain alive. Here you go

You ever think about how Morro gets. Uh. Melted. A lot.

Like both his corpse and his ghost got their bodies dissolved by fire and water respectively and y'know, if yall will allow me to go on a tangent about how this relates to Morro paralleling both Kai and Nya, and how both his body and soul are melted by Kai and Nya's respective elements due to his inability to learn the lesson that saved their lives.

Kai is obvious. They both wanted to be the Green Ninja, and their journeys led both of them into an active volcano. Kai realized he wasn't the Green Ninja, and it was this realization that allowed him to unlock his True Potential and escape. Morro, on the other hand, was unable to make this realization, and died in the process.

Nya is a bit trickier, but the similarities are there when you know where to look. Both characters are perfectionists and over-achievers with wicked gifted child syndrome, who hate feeling weak and have a critical difficulty with relying on and opening up to others, and despise being told what to do/how to live their lives. They're also some of the only characters who have explicitly stated a displeasure with destiny deciding their path for them, and a desire to choose for themselves. When Morro realized he wasn't the Green Ninja, what did he say? "I'll train more, learn more lessons." Rationalizing his rejection as a result of personal failure.

And in the end, when Wu begs Morro to take his hand "so we can be stronger together", Morro ultimately lets go. "You can only save those who want to be saved." Was this because of regret? Perhaps because even in his final moments, Morro couldn't bring himself to accept help, still couldn't let himself be weak or vulnerable in front of another, still insisted on being strong? Maybe he didn't want to let down his old master one last time by seeming weak? Bottom line is, he didn't want to be saved. But Nya, she learned. She learned that it was okay to fail, that if you care too much about something, you'll trip over your own feet trying to get it. She learned that no man is an island, and that it's okay to rely on others for help and to be weak sometimes. She took the hand Morro refused, and it was through accepting this that she conjured the tide that destroyed Morro.

I hope that made sense. It's very late and I've been up since 5AM.

It’s like 1:30am and I’m spiralling so have an obligatory “songs that make me think of Echo characters” post. Enjoy! Flynn Moore - Otter by Don Harvey is such a Chase and Flynn song (specifically TJ’s route. Desperately need an AMV of Chase and Flynn having fun in the lake to this song, interspersed with how TJ’s route actually ended) - Cruising by Don Harvey is a Flynn and Ryan song - (Honestly Flynn just has such strong Don Harvey energy but no one knows this cause Don Harvey has like 16 monthly listeners its insane) Jenna Begay - Blow My Brains Out by Tikkle Me is just so Jenna (especially Jenna and Heather omg) Carl Hendricks - Prologue by Chase Petra - Bugbear by Chloe Moriondo - Sweet Hibiscus Tea by Penelope Scott - (he’s just so sadgirl) Chase Hunter - Labyrinth by Miracle Musical is just so fucking ‘echo protagonist’. Like Chase, Samuel, Mr Font, and Cameron - Stupid Intruder by The Vincent Black Shadow is strong Chase and “””Samuel””” - Umami by Go Child! Leo Alvarez - Two Birds by Regina Spector (I forget who but I saw someone on here say this and they were so right) - Don’t Ever Leave Me by Sharon Prabhakar - (Of fucking course Blurry by Lilybug and Scars by Splingus but I don’t think that a song on the OST nor a fan song count here) TJ Hess - If I Killed Someone for You by Alec Benjamin (I found it on a TJ Chase playlist and they were correct) Sydney Brosnon - Poor Isaac by The Airborne Toxic Event - (wasn’t gonna do Sydney but this song came on while I was making this and holy fguck)

It is now like ten past 2 I need to sleep, thank you for reading my Echo music thoughts I guess.

Nol’s Weird Reactions to Shinae’s Weird Compliments

I needed to take a small break from all the heavy discussions and decided to go round up all the little moments I could remember of Shinae paying Nol an unexpected - and often seemingly weird lol - compliment and Nol’s very puzzled reactions lmao because it always makes me laugh. There’s something about his “um what” that always makes me laugh 

Honorable mention to this scene at the black and white formal

Not a weird compliment (hence it being an honorable mention) but it still came by surprise and left them both feeling awkward

Honorable honorable mention to THIS scene, too. He seems to react more to the fact that she’s saying anything nice to him at all, hence why it’s an honorable mention, but it still fits the “reacting kinda weirdly” theme so here it is lmao 

Let me know if I’ve missed any more - I think a post of all the times Shinae has paid anyone an awkward compliment would be just the best because I still never get over “SEXY HANDS” and Dieter nearly dying in response lmaooooo She’s a unique and somewhat socially awkward one, our Shinae, and I wouldn’t want to have her any other way

Classic German Children's Songs

Maybe you're learning German, maybe you're doing research for god knows what, but here is a list of some classic German children's songs and nursery rhymes

Alle meine Entchen

Alle Vögel sind schon da

Auf der Mauer, auf der Lauer

Brüderchen komm tanz mit mir

Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust (for hiking/rambling)

Der Kuckuck und der Esel

Der Mond ist aufgegangen

Ein Männlein steht im Walde

Ein Vogel wollte Hochzeit machen

Es klappert die Mühle am rauschenden Bach

Fuchs du hast die Gans gestohlen

Grün sind alle meine Kleider

Guten Abend Gute Nacht

Hänschen Klein

Hejo, spann den Wagen an

Ich geh mit meiner Laterne ( for St Martin's Day)

Im Frühtau zu Berge (for hiking/rambling)

Kein schöner Land

Laterne, Laterne (for St Martin's Day)

Matten, Matten Meeren (for St Martin's Day)

Was müssen das für Bäume sein

Weißt du wieviel Sternlein stehen

Wer will fleißige Handwerker sehn

Bonus: for modern classics check out Rolf Zuckowsi and Gerhard Schöne

I honestly don't know what people mean when they talk about "having dreams" in the sense of like aspirations and ambitions. People talk about it like EVERYONE obviously has one. And I don't. I just kind of hang out and try not to die.
