My sanctuary for random music collection is in shambles 💦

Or well more like it is in shambles bc I use Android.

Hope they get to sorth it well eventually since I miss some of the tracks on my list.

Every time I go to a party I'm reminded that it's not that I can't interact with people, it's just not a desire I have :(

[svnflowermoon]

curious about something, reblog with how many liked songs you have on spotify/whatever streaming platform you use the most and whether you prefer to like songs or add them to playlists

[foxgloveinspace]

Ahhh. Sleep token gets so much hate cause the fandom is full of women and queers (affectionate I am said queer), I get it now.

me when i find the PERFECT mtt song (yamitsuki,,,,,,,, maretu my king how did you do it,,,,,,,,,,,,, literally HOW did you do it why is this song weirdly accurate wtf and its for a completely different character 2??? HOW DID YOU DO THIS??? THE ENTIRE FUCKING SONG FITS??? THE ENTIRE SONG COULD BE MADE TO HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH ONLY MILD REACHING??? HELLO??????) (this translation!!!) (the translation is not.linking i will be shooting myself. its the on on the vocaloid wiki NOTthe video....)

literally like. 1/3 is horror. 1/3 is dust. and then the last is killer. in that order. the first 2 verses talk about bloodshot pain (bloodshot EYES.... HORROR'S EYE) and a rotting fatal wound (THE FUCKING HEAD CRACK!!! HIS GODDAMN HEAD WOUND!!!!). commiting brutality. i dont think much else is needed. wrong/right and judging biases,,,,, jesus fuck wtf. AND THEN in the next verse there's a mention of "starving for necessary evil" HELLO!!!! HELLO!!!!!!! him starving himself while also feeding snowdin human which totally sucks,,,,,, horror sans,,,,,,???? chorus of shrill voices (duh snowdin. or also could be undyne and royale guard. i like snowdin more). and then the last line of the second verse mentions sadism. nothing more to say. horror sans i mayhaps perchance mightve just encountered you in a song. or maybe the translation is freakily accurate and the song itself isnt that specific (probably but hey i can dream)

and then th next 2 verses r dust except i dont really know about the first verse but also a line that says "this is the death of the conflict, come and see me" could be referring to the human's death which like. man. and then the next verse is just dust sans but in a single verse. give me more excellent pain could be interpreted as LV but also the mental pain that comes with yk..... killing all you love.LOVE. LV. he needs more LV... anyways. mad off the beaten track. MAD. MENTION OF MAD LIKE CRAZY LIKE MAD TIME LIKE DUST SANS!!!! echoes of a haughty voice resound,,,,, phantom paps,,,,, "severe punishment, 100 renouned sights, i long for pure pessimism" i cant explain this one well i think but just think about it okay. this time you get to be the one coming up with the ideas (σ´∀`)σ

killer only has one verse that i can link this song 2 but i also think its th most freakily accurate. verse 1 is "through instantaneous joy, entertain me for my whole life, i'm cunningly"LUCKY". i get completely bored. give me pleasure without worry. and now, right away." and then "i'd rather head to eternal darkness. i'll abide by you always, emptily "HAPPY". i shed tears from my clear white eyes. come and show me your best smile!" HELP HELP HELP THEYRE SHOOTING ME HELP HELP!!!! THEY JUMPING ME (these lyrics) because WTFyhis isFREAKILY accurate. the entire first verse and its spiel on boredom and having someone else manage the entertainment/emotions,,,, and the cunningly lucky part is just. i think the word cunning is just really good to describe killer (sneaky little bastard) and then he's "lucky" emphasis on quotes because idk he got chosen for whatever the fuck his chara wants. what luck. really bad luck but whatever. and then MORE on the following another person and EMPTILY!!! EMPTY!!! KILLER FEEL NOTHING EMPTY!!!! fake happy too,,,, and killer has white eyelights sooo IM NOT REACHING!!! also he literally cries

in conclusion MARETU is a god amongst men and somehow this song managed to fit the mtt i have no idea how. next coming up: how NAMIDA fits horror. how thirst fits dust. how i'm high fits killer. idk if i already said this one probably did BUT JUST IN CASE maretu also has maegamist,,,,, maretu i knew i listened to you for a reason. so i could make totally irrational and unreasonable connections of your songs to the fucking murder time trio of all things. what joy

watched the musical demon show (don't wanna name it so this post isn't in the tags) at the behest of an IRL friend and i can already tell this is going to be a piece of media where i absolutely cannot stop thinking about it, not because i really love the show as-is, but because it has so many individual components i really like and find incredibly fun or compelling, and i'm so frustrated that it doesn't come together for me

i think the main thing i can say about it as a show, setting aside some of the insensitive choices that were made that i really don't feel qualified to tackle or talk about, is that the entire thing sort of gives off this vibe of someone really excited to show you every single oc they made in high school and college and i very genuinely mean that in both the best and worst ways possible

there are some good hooks for season two though so i will absolutely give them that

🎧 — do you write while listening to music/podcasts/videos/etc, or do you need total silence?

munday asks! / accepting!

Ohh, this is such a good question!

I need music to write! I can't fathom how people sit in either camp of needing silence or listening to videos/podcasts because both sound horrendous to me. I find the former too stifling and the latter far too distracting. My thoughts tend to be a jumbled mess I'm trying to wrangle into some kind of coherence, so I can't afford to let them get away from me LOL.

Music, however, has enough rhythm and flow that I can end up tuning out to the lyrics but also pull them back if I need to channel a particular kind of 'feeling' to achieve whatever I want to transpose onto paper. More often than not, a lot of my edits and drabbles centre around a song or series of songs because I've had a brainwork from sticking it on repeat, or I know it'll achieve some kind of effect in my brain if I'm working with a prompt (looking at you xivwrite).

It's why I have character playlists for pretty much all my ocs. Kor's is the biggest at 408, but the rest have at least 50 or more. They tend to all link to a loose theme that relates to their characterisation, so it makes it easier for me to channel them.

Unless it's a meme song, which can be a bit distracting if I'm really into it. Still, there's always a reason something is there - even if I'm the only one who gets why.

hi kelsey baby!!! sorry if this is too gossipy for your interests in which case ignore me, but what's ur thoughts on the whole sabrina taylor olivia thing? like im thinking about how chummy taylor was with olivia (and by extension conan) and then how she suddenly seemed to have no relation in the slightest with her but suddenly know shes so chummy with gracie and sab... god i know this may sound parasocial but sometimes i want to be her friend just to get the tea haha

hmmmmm i thought about what i would say to this because it's not that it's gossipy, just that i don't really like wading into discoursy gossip that has a lot of morality tacked onto it by idiots who police when someone sneezes wrong.

i guess i'll say, if anything, you'd have to be willfully blind not to notice the shift, not even from a parasocial place, just how overnight the shift was. How olivia went from gushing about taylor at every opportunity to not mentioning her name at all like there is some sort of moratorium on it. however, i'm not inclined to sit here and analyze the minutiae of every word she says, not even tonally, because context in interviews can get lost and tone is not always properly conveyed in the written word, and can be edited around on video. so i can't, and won't, declare her intent or what her sentiments are towards taylor cuz idk her and everything i say is conjecture.

and as for taylor, she always flits from one rising star to the next in terms of publicly showering them with praise and lifting them up. not in a bad way or flakey way, just that she seems to enjoy encouraging the young women of the new class and also enjoys collaborating with new talent to inspire her creatively. public image-wise, its also very helpful lol, but i don't think she's fake about it, from what i can tell. she's done this for a decade now, and sometimes they might drift apart or sometimes a certain person inspires her more than another. it seems like she was merely a supporter from afar for olivia, and gracie and sab(rina) are more friends of hers, for example. (not for nothing, but gracie and sabrina are also in her ecosystem, working with aaron and jack respectively so i think that plays a part. are you a coworker in another department or a just peer, if you will) i also think her condoning, however inderectly, olivia and conan promo fearless tv is a bit..... idk that makes things sticky and builds a clear boundary that she hasn't set with the likes of gracie/phoebe/sabrina/etc. which is a fine boundary to set, but who tf knows what she saw in them that she didn't see in olivia. nothing nefarious going on i don't think, or any secret hatred i guess, from taylor's side insofar as i can tell objectively, that i can point to.

but yeah at the very least, something happened to cause this shift in focus for Olivia from taylor to.... not taylor lol. and there are a few smoking guns that are very glaring (Deja vu bridge, clara bow, etc) but nothing i can pull prints from, from where i sit at my computer. we don't know the order of events or even the involvement of certain people, or if what people have said is even true. at the base level of it all, with the crumbs of information that we have, it's perhaps a dont-meet-your-heroes situation. which sucks for olivia but idk if i would go so far as to say it casts taylor in a bad light. if anything, it can serve as an example of how distant fan/celebrity relationships have a tendency to always remain if they start that way. taylor was never truly her friend and olivia never really knew her through her music and stanning all those years. which again, if that's simply all it is, doesn't mean anyone is in the wrong. just a wakeup call that that is the true nature of all fan/celebrity relationships; the fan will always run into a glass door they cannot open, and they might get hurt if they don't realize it's there until it's too late. but even THAT assessment of the situation is still just my observation based opinion, so really, who the hell knows. i would LOVE to know though if i ever became taylor's friend, but tbh it's very low down on the list of things i'd ask her. it's ON the list though!

(also took me like five minutes to figure out who tf "sab" was like i was trying to figure out if it was an acronym or something lol. shows how often i think about sabrina carpenter, sorry to this girl. she keeps catching strays from me lol)

[phagodyke]

i dont pay much attention to global listening stats on spotify cuz i just listen to shit i like but sometimes ill see smth and be like how tf do they have so many/few plays on this??? like my impression of how popular some artists are is so WILDLY disconnected from real life
