Songs That Remind Me of BL Characters & Couples

@zimmbzon kindly tagged me in their post, prompting me to share the first ten songs in my On Repeat playlist. Highly recommend checking theirs out, because mine is...rather basic. And becauuuuse it's basic, I'm gonna add another layer to this and tell you which BL character or couple perfectly matches the vibe of each song.

1 | "imperfect for you" by Ariana Grande: This one's off her new "please feel sad for me because even though I'm messy when it comes to love I still have feelings" album. I may have listened to this one "on repeat," because it's just cathartic to two-step to these lyrics: "I'm fucked up / anxious / too much / but I'll love you / like you need me to / imperfect for you." What's that? Self-awareness? Respect. I just know Ming from My Stand-In would have the audacity to sing this to body-swapped Joe.

2 | "Acid Dreams" by MAX and Felly: Could not tell you who either of these people are but this song is a snap-worthy bop that got me feeling myself every time it comes on -- probably because it opens with: "You look so good in a night gown girl / freckles on your face / lemme kiss each one." This was clearly meant for my generation, because there is not a single human under 30 in possession of a night gown. But Khem from Deep Night would 1,000% use this song to charm the pants off of someone.

3 | "Toco Toco To" by Dixson Waz: I'm Dominican. And even though I understand Spanish, I cannot for the life of me tell you what this man is saying, but I can assure you it is inappropriate. Rated NC-17 without a doubt. And for that reason, I'd pair this song with the entire cast of Playboyy -- just casually playing this in the background of one of their random, impromptu, midday sex parties.

4 | "Lie to Me" by Meghan Trainor: Obsessed. Not with her. With her music. She has so many non-butt-related songs that are worth a listen. I truly feel like she's underrated -- on par with Ed Sheeran -- and she doesn't get enough credit for it. In this track, she sings: "I don't want the truth / I want you." That sounds exactly like our lovesick boy Nick in Only Friends, thirsting after anti-monogamy Boston like he didn't know better.

5 | "Jealous" by Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, & Big Sean: While it is true that every single person on this track is problematic, including producer DJ Khaled, the swagger is immaculate. Every time it comes on, I, sincerely, close my eyes and just picture BTS's rap line to cleanse the beat. Not gonna miss out on a banger because men are the worst. Anywayyyy, the most jealous character I can think of is Way from Pit Babe, who tried to r-word his "bestie" because he chose a random nerd over him. He fits in well with these clowns.

6 | "Bounce Back" by Little Mix: The only British pop girl group I've ever intentionally streamed is Spice Girls, but the algorithm clearly thought it meant I'd like this group, and the track that hooked me was one that sampled the iconic Soul II Soul's "Back to Life." Instant replay. Someone I think lives and breathes the mantra "You can have me however you want me / however you need me" is the Sultan of Simp, Karan from Cherry Magic (Thailand). Achi could've asked for a kidney, and he would've delivered. But coming in a close second is obviously Rain from Love in the Air. Payu had to practically beat him off with a stick -- no pun intended.

7 | "Body" by Loud Luxury and Brando: It's the buildup to the chorus for me -- come to find out many listens later that it's about a guy who is begging a girl to sleep with him because he's been "waiting too long." 🙄 This one very obviously goes to Yuan from Unknown, who damn near disintegrated Qian's clothes the minute he saw even the glimmer of a green light. Talk about a slow build.

8 | "Into You" by Fabolous feat. Tamia: Back in 2003, rappers used to drop an R&B hit every now and then to remind women that they were romantics. The gaslight kings of the aughts. So in this track, this duo talks about an inexplicable-but-undeniable connection, which only makes me think of Vegas and Pete from KinnPorsche. Those two needed a PowerPoint presentation to explain to their friends and family how they went from hostage situation to star-crossed lovers. But we got nothing -- just good vibes and patricide.

9 | "i wonder..." by j-hope feat. Jung Kook: Do I miss them? Yes. Will I listen to any BTS track that's easy to Namjoon to? Yes. Now that we got that out of the way: This song is about enjoying the moment and not wasting the good times by dreading the future. And that just screams Be My Favorite to me. Kawi just kept trying to time-travel his way to a hetero fantasy, not realizing his queer happily ever after was standing right in front of him the whole time in the gorgeous form of the eternally patient Pisaeng.

10 | "MY HOUSE" by Beyoncé: Not to bring up BTS again, but 👀...j-hope would body any choreography set to this song. Without breaking a sweat. And mother would be proud. On this track, the Queen B speaks of once dreaming of the wealth, fame, and stability she has now, and making sure to only keep positive people around her, because love heals. Sailom from Dangerous Romance would certainly relate to having similar dreams and beliefs, and effortlessly exudes equally feisty bad bitch energy. I still can't get over how he disarmed his bully (and future love interest), Kanghan, by basically saying, "You clearly like me. Shut up." And saying it with tongue.

That was fun. 🤸🏿‍♂️

Sorry if someone's already asked this, I'm fairly new to your page but what are some of your favorite Taylor Swift songs or albums or your thoughts in general about each one?

𝑠𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑖𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘 !

↳ honestly i’m so so happy you asked because it gives me an opportunity to talk about taylor’s music so i’m just gonna rant a little bit

my experience as a swiftie :

✩ my first memory of listening to taylor was when i’d watch the shake it off clip with my sister RELIGIOUSLY, even though we were really young at the time

✩ i started listening to her music a little after fearless tv released and became a swiftie during red tv (best era ever imo, i miss streaming atwtmv all day long and romanticising fall)

✩ i had the chance to go to the eras tour back in june, which was the BEST experience of my life. i traveled to london just for the concert and it was so great !

✩ london n2 btw, i feel like we had the worst show of all wembleys and i can’t believe i missed gracie abrams by a day, but i’m still super grateful (i got thank you aimee x mean and castles crumbling)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

my opinions on her music :

✩ i’m personally more of a fountain pen songs swiftie than a glitter gel pen one, although i love all of her albums and songs (all bops idc)

✩ i have absolutely NO idea how to rank her albums because it changes everyday and based on my mood

✩ in my opinion, taylor’s most “taylor” album is red, which is why i have a particular attachment to it

✩ folklore and evermore are BOTH masterpieces and evermore deserves to get the folklore treatment (dare i say it’s better than folklore ?)

✩ debut is criminally underrated and i can’t wait for people to realise that when taylor’s version is released

✩ ttpd is a perfect album, and probably in my top three of hers (i do like the anthology better than the album in itself)

✩ her only album with NO skips (again that’s my opinion) is reputation….

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

about ME! :

✩ she truly does have a song for every situation, it’s insane

✩ i’m a this is me trying/the archer girl through and through, that’s for sure

✩ as for my favourite songs, i do have a particular attachment to cowboy like me and you are in love (yes i cried when she did a mashup) and my most streamed song of hers is haunted

✩ OKAY WAIT i’m gonna do a little playlist with taylor songs that describe my “romantic life” (you’ll get the lore pretty easily, try to guess what happened)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

♪ the playlist ♪

“babe”

“my boy only breaks his favorite toys”

“now that we don’t talk”

“betty”

“gold rush”

“better man”

“the 1”

“the smallest man who ever lived”

“peter”

“girl at home”

“down bad”

“right where you left me”

“foolish one”

pretty sure no one is gonna read all that but i had so much fun ! thank you for your question <3

[politemagic]

Okay I absolutely adored that fruit salad question, so I'm bringing it to you! Musical fruit salad from your favourite artist, 5 fruit minimum, go go go 💙

oh boy i love this question so much okay okay okay i really couldn't decide if i would rather do sleep token or twenty one pilots... so you will ALSO get two fruit salads!!

my fruits:

strawberry 🍓 <- one of their more popular songs that i would show someone who had never heard of them before blueberry 🫐 <- it may seem like just a little tune, but to me the album would NOT be the same without it melon 🍈 <- she may not be for everybody, but real ones will appreciate these underrated tracks (underratedness was determined by spotify streams not science) kiwi 🥝 <- we're adding a lil something special to this fruit salad. these are songs that are near and dear to me cherry 🍒 <- my personal favorite fruit, so my personal favorite song

sleep token salad:

🍓 The Summoning - it's the song that seems to have really set them on their current trajectory, and it is indeed a fucking BANGER so if i'm trying to get someone into sleep token, this would be my go-to

🫐 DYWTYLM - honestly didn't really like it on my first listen to the album, but on my second go round i could not BELIEVE i ever felt that way. it is so incredibly necessary to the overall album + vessel's journey and i will defend her until my dying breath.

🍈 Drag Me Under & Descending - i really couldn't pick between these two UNDERrated queens get it? get it? i'm so sorry . but there was one morning that i was listening to my sleep token playlist watching the sunrise on my back porch and these songs played back to back and tbh it was a spiritual experience

🥝 Take Me Back to Eden - i actually can't stress enough the personal significance that this song has to me. the line "i don't know what's got its teeth in me / but i'm about to bite back in anger" is in total honesty the thing that motivated me to get the help that i needed during the darkest time in my life. i can't talk about it or i WILL cry

🍒 Aqua Regia & Telomeres - it's my fruit salad so i get to have extra cherries since they're my favorite😌 aqua regia is the baddest bitch in town to me and the guitar solo in telomeres is possibly my favorite part in any st song ever.

twenty one pilots salad:

🍓 Fairly Local - i would have chosen car radio because that was my personal introduction to them, but i think fairly local is more representative of where they are now musically. (but if i was to pick a first album i would def be showing them vessel)

🫐 Neon Gravestones - not sure how universal this is, but most tøp fans i know skip this song on trench but i personally have always loved it. the lyrics are phenomenal, and it's a very powerful song.

🍈 Redecorate & March to the Sea - i couldn't choose just one because i think both of these albums as a whole are underrated (listen. i know that scaled and icy wasn't their best but. those are some fucking bops okay?). whenever i need to have a good cry i listen to self-titled and march to the sea has always been my favorite from that album.

🥝 Trees - seeing them perform trees in concert was a canon event for me. my best friend, who i have known since i was 5 (and was not familiar w them at all), said she had never seen me experience emotions like i did when they performed this song. it makes me so happy that they still end shows with this song, i think its a rite of passage.

🍒 Doubt - honestly, i can't even remember why at this point but this has been my favorite twenty one pilots song since blurryface came out, it's my most played song by them FOR SURE.

Lover

High highs (dbatc, cornelia street, cruel summer) and low lows (we know which ones those are).

This album is especially important to me and in a way I think it saved me before it even came out in 2019, owing to months and months of anticipation of its release. And when it released, it was everything and more.

Its perhaps a little weak compared to its predecessor and successor albums in terms of concept. I mean, an album dedicated to love itself? Babe thats ALL OF THE TAYLOR ALBUMS *sigh*

Cruel summer is about to hit 2 billion streams on Spotify, making me question (and judge) single choices for promo...but it is what it is.

FAV SONG - 🌸Cruel summer (the bop to end all

bops).

FAV LYRICS- 🌹You hold my hand on the street/ Walk me back to that apartment/ Years ago, we were just inside/ Barefoot in the kitchen/ Sacred new beginnings/ That became my religion, listen (gives me a warm feeling)

🌹I'm New york city

🌹He better lock it down/ Or I won't stick around/ 'Cause good ones never wait (cheeky queen)

FAV BRIDGES- 🌼dbatc,

🌼cruel summer

FAV UNDERRATED TRACKS- ☀️ maathp

☀️ daylight

"Cruel Summer" crossing the 2 b-b-b-b-billion mark is absolute crazy town to me. INSANE. I love this for her? She deserves it?! I so love what Lover has meant to you. Also funnily enough I had a conversation with a friend the other day who made the case that Fearless is actually the superior album that actually expresses love in multiple forms / ways. Which was very fun to think about.

Oh the funniest heatwaves jumpscare I've ever had was I was going back and re-watching pogchamps (round 2? or 3?) with Hafu because I love her and I love watching her play chess

(an underrated Hafu moment is the grandmasters are watching her POV (she can't hear them) and she's hovering over a move,

"Am I throwing?"

And all of the grandmasters just start laughing because as they put it,

"God, I wish that were me! Saying 'Am I throwing?' as she's looking at the best move in the game!")

But I was watching back the pogchamp matches in order, and I finally get to the last one. Hafu vs Gripex90. The grand finale! Gripex has on some sort of rock music. Hafu's got a soft pop playlist.

Ending of the first game, they cut into Hafu's POV right in time to hear her react to Gripex blunder and there's an instant "Mmmmm" followed by a "gimme that" as she takes advantage of the blunder. All while there's Nobody like U playing in the background. She's softly bopping out to it. The game's basically over now. Hafu has the softest murder vibes. It's awesome.

Second game, Hafu's got Gripex cornered, the commentators are discussing how she can cycle him threw checks, and then Gripex blunders and basically hands her check. The commentators instantly tune in to Hafu's stream, and it's fucking heatwaves playing as she wins pogchamps.

what are the five’s favourite taylor swift songs? doesn’t have to relate to them necessarily - just what do they like to listen to?😂

MMMMM okay.

Matthew -> The only one of the 5 that I think would be an actual Swiftie beyond casually liking some songs. I think he's definitely a 1989 girlie (gender neutral). This is because I think he'd primarily like "dancey" songs - Style, Shake It Off, I Wish You Would, How You Get the Girl, Now That We Don't Talk, Is It Over Now... that vibe. Definitely a big ol' fan of Blank Space, too. I think he'd also really like Reputation (TIWWCHNT, LWYMMD, and I Did Something Bad would be God-tier to him) and Midnights (his relationship with YOYOK would need to be studied.) So yeah. He'd probably like all of her songs, though, from different eras, and listen to them depending on his mood.

Cordelia -> I think that she has a really strong relationship with Don't Blame Me. Like, her #1 most streamed song on every platform. Besides that, she vibes Getaway Car, Delicate, Sparks Fly, I Can See You, Mary's Song (because uh. Her and James), Paper Rings, Cornelia Street, and Lover. You Are In Love as well. She's a fan of The Ballads in all their forms, whether they're poppy or calming.

James -> I feel like he mostly will vibe anything that Cordelia or Matthew are listening to. He's not, like, a Swiftie who listens to them on his own, but he doesn't mind when the others play her music. His favorites would be Dear Reader, Don't Blame Me, You Are In Love, Cold As You (he likes the emotional moping vibes), High Infidelity (again. Emo.), and maybe like, Innocent.

Alastair -> Alastair was unfortunately not born with the Taylor Swift Enjoyer Gene. Alas. Bad things sometimes happen to good people. But he does really like a few of the Folkmore songs, and he puts them on his playlists - he has pretty wide music tastes and listens to select songs from tons of artists, so his playlists are expansive. I think his faves are My Tears Ricochet, Peace, Hoax, Tis the Damn Season, Tolerate It, Ivy, Closure, and It's Time to Go. But he definitely has screamed to WCS more than once too when he's emotional about Charles.

Thomas -> A Fearless girlie (gender neutral) to his core. Every song is a bop or a banger to him. But I think his favorite is Hey Stephen solely because it reminds him of how he felt about Alastair. Also because it's my favourite and I like to self-indulge. Other Fearless faves are Tell Me Why, Forever and Always, Love Story, The Other Side of the Door, and Today Was a Fairytale. His #2 album? Lover. His faves are I Think He Knows, Miss Americana, and the much-underrated INTHAF.

Another funny headcanon is that Cordelia tries to be a Good Ally and defend her loved ones against Homophobic Picture to Burn, but like every queer person ever made Matthew, Alastair, and Thomas think Homophobic Picture to Burn is hilarious and real. They're head-banging to it in the car (Matthew got the aux cord as usual) and she's Shook.

[penroseparticle]

CRJ

CRJ's best song is so hard to decide, she's just a consistent performer. This and my fave changes with the seasons. Like do you go full on bubblegum with a song from Kiss? Any gay bop from STREAM EMOTION ON ITUNES??? Something from her latest album (Probably not, recency bias)

But really, Call Me Maybe is a masterpiece of our era. So what else could it be.

MY FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW IS BAD THING TWICE COME THROUGH CRJ COME THROUGH

Underrated I can't just pick one. Turn Me Up? Boy Problems, Let's Get Lost? Everything He Needs?

I'll go with I'll Be Your Girl.

Honorable mention Cut To The Feeling let's go CRJ, bangers on bangers

[glittertrail]

A hopefully fun question for you if you want to answer!! Pick any musician/group you love and tell us your favourite track off each of their albums (you can do as many albums as you like or just one), and also an underrated song of theirs that you think needs more love 😊

According to my wrapped most of what i listen qualifies as pop and a good chunk of that is supposedly indie pop in spanish but I don't quite think they really are all that indie lol (is there a middle ground between indie and mainstream? not quite we produce all our music in our basement but definitely we aren't the top artists of the record company) my first thought was varry brava bc raffaella was my top song this year and i am just very fond of the italian version they have of calor which i don't think gets recognized for being a bop

but also, a band that stole my heart is called la vida boheme (not pop, kind of rock? all of it in spanish i'm afraid and half of the lyrics make no sense in english bc they're half protest poetry half stream of consciousness nightmare)

2011 - Nuestra. The entire album. All of it. Flamingo makes my heart crump up and wish to hide in someone's neck. But also. Huxley is the anthem of the intellectuals that drink to make people tolerable. I love it. Most of the album reeks of a nihilist daring the gods to strike him with a lighting. For divine retribution of some sort. It's for people fed up, asking for a fight.

2013 - Será. I hate this album not bc it's bad but bc it reminds me of being terrified out of my mind for people i love during a very unstable political time (not that my country has had a non unstable time since 1999 but i was far away and too many people were getting incarcerated for protesting and being gassed). It's full of their own sorrow about it too. But they take influence of other musical genres which i love and their last song is literal hope.

2017 - la lucha. Brilliant album. Lyrically? Milagro del sur. So sad. But no. If I'm going to keep one song from it it'll be the protest song (the entire album is all protest music tho one way or another)

The 3 albums are a trilogy and their names form together 'nuestra será la lucha' (ours will be the battle).

They've been releasing singles rather than albums since then. Two stand outs for me one from 2020 and one from this summer:

[club577]

23: A song that you think everybody should listen to

oooh ill go with Paradis Disparu - Sŵnami bc i think this band is so criminally underrated (like paradis disparu is such a bop but its only got 11k streams on spotify 😭😭)

[sanakiras]

favourite non-title tracks? like b-sides and other underrated svt songs and such?

see now this is complicated, mostly because i just don’t think i’ve listened to all of their music yet? i became a fan a little over a year ago and i’m still discovering new songs of theirs tbh BUT here’s a little deep dive bc i need to explain it all 🫡

crush was listed at number 3 in my top 5 most listened songs on spotify last year so that should be enough of a sign. perfection in a song ‼️ i even taught myself the choreo of the final chorus, the performance vid with the hats and suits is chef’s kiss too <3

hey buddy is also one of my favs. fun, upbeat, with a solid and very fitting choreo that we’ve unfortunately only seen in this inside seventeen episode. (97z are also all biases of mine so. i’m playing favorites :D)

ASH!!! it’s been getting more recognition on twt lately (as it should) bc they have still never performed it. which is a crime. stream it i beg you.

2 minus 1 is so good. recently discovered love letter which is cute. i love fallin’ flower, heaven’s cloud, kidult!! KIDULT!!!

less underrated but still big bops are hiphop unit’s tracks (back it up, lalali, lotto remix, fire)

svt’s cult classics that are also not underrated (for a reason!) — shadow, don quixote, cheers, march, to you, i don’t understand but i luv u, snap shoot, light a flame… honestly i could name more but the ones mentioned are definitely my top picks. i still need to find the time to do a full volume with max concentration listen to their older albums ;)

[cleoselene]

I’m sure I will love it whenever it comes out on streaming but I still can’t get over how underwhelmed I am by the Eras Tour setlist?  how can a setlist with so many songs leave me feeling so cold???  No Getaway Car?  No ivy?  No Maroon?  No Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve?  Like the POWER that would have been doing Dear John and WCS as a 1-2 punch?    No vault songs aside from ATW10?  So little evermore and really, of evermore, Tis the Damn Season as one of the mainstays?  It’s a holiday song!  No Last Kiss?  also Karma is such a weird closer choice for me.  I’d also have given it a proper yeehaw section, I guess I yearn for some more country from her since “I Bet You Think About Me” was such an underrated bop

and we will not discuss how she has mutliple costumes for every era but evermore lmao, Taylor give your best and brightest child more love

[plegdoctor]

Right, who had Black Cherry interaction on the ship bingo cards today?

[booksie]

Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories? Can I be him?

Can I Be Him, James Arthur

[titsthedamnseason]

listen to i’m fakin by sabrina carpenter or else u suck 🤪 and we don’t want that so ,,, , , ,

[botls]

for songs whose lyrics apply/i like but the tune or whatever i cant take seriously/doesnt fit the tone (eg take on me like the previous anon suggested) i like to look up covers!!! for take on me, i like the versions by leo moracchioli and andie case ;)

i actually never would have thought ab this if the other person hadn’t sent about the unplugged version but i tried listening to that and it still had the Energy of the song i cant explain it skajsgbsks maybe i’m just being a difficult brat as always but :) i def will try this going forward !
