Bob’s Burgers bedrooms

I downloaded Toca Life World and made the Belcher’s bedrooms with my own little twists to them. I reimagined some of it and I hope you guys like it!

Starting off with Tina:

Some classic horse paraphernalia (I imagine the brown horse is Chariot from the equestranauts)

I put walkie talkies in all the Belcher kids’ bedrooms because I like to imagine that they communicate with each other past their bedtime

Tina would 100% have those glow in the dark stars on her walls all throughout high school. Change my mind

I think she would have bought into that vines on the walls trend that was all over Tik tok for a while. She thinks they look classy

I also added a lil cameo of the cat treats that Tina and Gene eat in that one episode lol I headcannon that they still snack on them from time to time

There’s also a box of chocolates and a little teddy bear holding a heart, I just think that she either received them from someone (Zeke, J-Ju, whoever you want) or she’s saving them to give to someone else

Shoutout to the composition notebook on her desk for her erotic friendfiction

And because this is a headcannon for teenaged Tina’s bedroom, I gave her a mirror and some fancy looking moisturizer. I don’t think she wears much makeup (if any at all) but I do think she takes skincare VERY seriously

Gene:

Gene’s room is MESSY

Like I love him but he’s a total slob

I think that he would have some of those LED lights, but only because Louise wanted them first but her room was too small for the whole roll

Like in Tina’s room, I gave him the cat food to snack on

I also think that Gene is a sweaty boy and therefore has a fan on 24/7

Burger and ketchup plushies!

So. Many. Snacks.

I gave him a kiddie radio and a regular boombox as well as a synthesizer (I couldn’t find any keyboards that’s my bad)

He also has a walkie talkie so he can “walkie and talkie with his favourite sisters”

I also added a music score!

The posters are kinda miscellaneous, they didn’t have any music based ones but I think that “bulko” character would be one that Gene is rlly into

Ofc I added a baseball in there as well. I think that even though he never excelled at the sport and isn’t a sport person in general, he still just likes to have the ball around. Maybe as a stim toy maybe not who knows

Louise:

Louise was my favourite room to put together! I just find that she and I have/had similar rooms growing up and I just relate to her on that level

I gave her the loft bed with the desk underneath because obviously. She has one. But I chose this one specifically because I think that it’s very her.

I think she added the caution tape because it’s “the next best thing besides barbed wire”

And ofc the stickers to add some ✨personality✨

Louise got really into the LED craze of 2020 and hence, got some for Christmas or something like that

But her room *cough* closet *cough* is too teeny tiny for the full roll so she had to share the rest of it with Gene

I added horror movie posters next to her bed because there are SO many instances in the show where she just talks about horror films and I think she gets REALLY into them when she gets older

She still uses crayons. Sue her

Ofc I also gave her a walkie talkie. She’s literally the reason the Belcher kids have them in the first place

The one poster in a frame reminds me of that one onion poster she has in her room in the show. I still don’t understand the significance of the poster but I think it deserves to be added

The green frog on her bed is supposed to represent Kuchi Kopi

And all the other weird looking toys are her collectables!

And I have to address the lady bug in the room. I think that she got that as a lil baby and just grew so emotionally attached to it that she can’t bear to get rid of it. She rides it around the apartment when she’s bored

I also tried to imitate her spiral carpet and even though there is no spiral I think the colour is spot on

Bob and Linda:

Linda 100% made all of the design choices in their bedroom

Ik that canonically they don’t have a window but shhhhhh

I think that they would have two carpets because Linda always complains that her feet get cold when she’s getting ready in the mornings

And she let Bob pick the colour of it (the red one)

Linda found that tapestry at a flea market and “Isn’t it just DARLING Bobby”

BUT it smelled like cigarettes for sooooo long she almost got rid of it

Almost.

Linda is a candle gurly. If she goes to the store and sees a candle she HAS to have it, especially if it smells good

She also got rlly into the holistic medicine industry for a while, hence the salt lamp

She thinks it looks fancy and rustic at the same time

Bob picked out the framed picture and he’s so proud of himself

“Did you know that IM the one that picked that? And now it’s hanging in our room”

They have white sheets because Linda likes to feel like she’s in a hotel

Bob actually is an avid reader. Well, mostly.

He reads but he doesn’t really READ, you know?

But he always tries to read a little before bed so he keeps his current books on his nightstand (at least since the events of the episode where he and Linda sleep apart)

Those are my headcannons for the Blecher bedrooms! I’m thinking of doing an MLP version too but we’ll see. I’ve also been thinking of doing a Mr. Frond and Gayle bedroom because in my mind they stay together forever lol who knows

jamie is, objectively, a bit of a strange guy. now, its not that his music taste itself is odd, but rather his choice of playlist names. he won't knock other people's preferences but he personally believes that life is too short for boring playlist names. the ones he comes up with are just so incredibly niche but make perfect sense to him. his playlists i've come up with so far ( except 2 & 3 which i saw & stole ) are as follows:

chugging 5hr energies in the campus library is his study/focus playlist

neon green troll living under the golden gate bridge is songs that have big trickster energy, do with this info what you will

is this a wedding or the apocalypse is pretty much entirely optimistic nihilism if that makes any sense. sorta just nothing matters so do what makes you happy

songs that taste good is songs that have really satisfying sounds or lyrics that are just objectively fun to say/sing

ruh roh raggy ( got any scooby snacks ) is his late night driving playlist

arthur's fist is based on the meme & is basically just a rage playlist of songs that are both angry & aggressive

lets commit a felony & tweet about it is for when he's either feeling like the main characte or needs a confidence boost

white noise 10hrs is still just music but its what jamie categorises as having a noisy sound. i'm not sure how else to describe it tbh

call me austin powers the way i be groovin' is songs that have a fun bass line or are a lil funky

my frisbee is got in a tree again is just sort of his generic feel good happy music, the type of thing you want to listen to if you go on a park picnic on a nice day

sometimes violence IS the answer ( untitled goose game ) is his work out or training session playlist all really high energy & intense, very hype

how to channel your inner pomona sprout is his stoner playlist because weed → herb → herbology → professor of herbology

brb gotta level up real quick is just video game songs or soundtracks he enjoys

please don't sue i have a family to feed is copyright-free music he can safely play while streaming

welcome to the chum bucket is just metal music

got that dr suess flow is just rap music

hot sauce classics is for all the old school iconic rap

tongue stained from all the pop rocks is his favourite b-side tracks

call my dentist is bubblegum pop

little berry richard & chuck ( in them we trust ) is exclusively rock & roll

rock paper scissors winner gets an autographed picture of jack black in a bowser onesie is inspired by this tik tok but basically the concept is songs that evoke the feeling of jack black while being from other artists. no particular genre or subgenre either, they are truly all over the place but all have the jack black vibe to them. one of the comments also referred to this as wizard music which, yeah 100%

& his sex playlist is titled yo yo yo & a bottle of cum but was previously called shake n bake

jamie also is v much the type to make people playlists or mixtapes that have equally strange names bc its his brand <3 hits such as: two needles in a haystack or made this you in a fever dream & the songs were actually good. or from when he was feeling Romantic: i'd join a pyramid scheme for you

that is all, ty 4 ur time

#j. lincoln. character study — nothing is ever so mischievous in its own place as it is out of it #queued.#in case the tiktok vid ever goes down it listed a few examples #songs like war pigs or holy diver and bands like skull fist or iron maiden #and specifically the guitar riff in fog machine by white reaper

“not okay” thoughts??????

SPOILER FILLED omg please do not proceed unless you have watched this brilliant film thanks x

mia isaac - the STANDOUT for me for the entire runtime

like ya’ll i’m a dylan girl thru and thru, and gorgeous zoey is the main star of this movie

but mia

ya’ll don’t sleep on mia isaac

i know the proper reviews have agreed with me, she is absolutely brilliant and powerful and and empowering, every scene was so strong and she deserves all the praise, all the awards, hands down

her character’s story where it related to real life events.. her trauma was so heartbreaking, and the ptsd scene on the stage really truly got to me and i honestly started tearing up. that was a full panic attack... i’ve lived through many, and it was captured so upsettingly well. mia conveys emotion so so well and i hope you love her as much as i did.

AND DUDE ----- THE LAST SCENE OF THE MOVIE WITH MIA WAS AHHHHHHHHHHHH MY FAVE PART OF THE WHOLE THIINNG

now... zoey, wow, her characterisation was SPOT ON

she just gulped up that fame, actual fame whore

like i hated her but i loved her and but at the same time i was holding my breath for her white lie to be unfolded

and PHEW it was nuts

“shit gon be nuts” - dylan o’brien, 2022, twitter.

zoey is a phenomenal actress, she can play all sorts of dimensions, but danni was just something else, in a very good way

she was a crafty lil bitch and i give her kudos, to an extent, and then yes she deserved to be #cancelled over and over again, never coming back from that one

i was shaking my head at her the whole time like..... honey you’re making it so obvi that you are not traumatised. you just want those likes, you just want that @WEEDBOIIICOLIN so bad.

also SHOUT OUT to the nightmares she was having, and her own personal haunting trauma with the green coat guy. i loved that continuity and how it built her guilt over and over again.

especially with the reveal.. i saw it coming at the last second, but was still surprised when you saw who it really was that was haunting her.

her hampster tho being the soul reason for her lie, giving her the idea, that was iconic. you go hamster. they also had similar hair???

her style was wild, very tik tok, very ‘on trend’ thank you quinn for crafting this crazy girl

zoey you need to be given like 150 gold stars right now, girl.

now................

dylan.

fuck me.

from the GET GO, from his first words, i was like............. here we go.

“lick the tit” yeah bro, straight off the bat

the little pet name ‘honey’ also got to me

ah DUDE THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT FOR COLIN WAS HILARIOUS, his last outfit that you see him in, when he walks out of the elevator, i loved it so much i took a photo because i giggled

the was dylan put on that shit talker voice was also so well done, the vernacular he sattired was perfect

everything he said was legit comic relief

he made it funny with her stupid he was, honestly

and you could 100% tell that he was doing it to make fun

he better have enjoyed this role because i bloody well did

ANYWAY

DYLAN O’BRIEN’S FUCKING MOANING WILL LIVE IN MY HEAD RENT FREE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND I NEED IT ON ACTUAL FUCKIGN REPLAY RIGHT NOW THIS IS NOT A DRILL

his ****** game is also STRONG

seriously, THAT scene, you’ll know it, in the bathroom

it doesn’t last long but it was literally the set up for every dylan smut scene in fan fic okay

HIS WORDING WOOWWOWOWOWEVNBKJGE]

I AM STILL DEEEAASDDDDDDDD

ask @ slutobrien because i was messaging her the whole time and i was going craazzyyyyy

my fave is “youre so tight”

fuck thats dylan fan fic

in a good way.. a very, very, good way

he also says that he’ll protect her in a very sensual way and yes i believed it i still do i also need it RIGHT NOW.

but yes okay, thank you quinn once again for choosing this god of a man to portray this idiot of a man

other things i super loved: - the running jokes with kendall jenner loooool - quinn’s cameo!!!!!!!!!!! i squealed, like a lil piggy - the cinematography?!!?!!??! so good - the support group hanging out together was too cute for words - special shout out to NADIA for her portrayal of harper!!!!! the villain (?) that we really needed ((((( but like was danni really the villain the whole time and was harper the hero??? hmmmm????)))))) - still love mia isaac - MY 2ND FAVE PART THOOO ,....... OMGG... was when colin said some weird shit and harper was like “you’re from maine” and dylan puts his real voice on for a short moment since colin gets called out for his fakeness HAHAHA too good

Overall, NOT OKAY was a very good, eye-opening, funny film. It really makes you look at the craziness and toxicity that social media carries. It shows you how it can change people, literally, and the lengths they will go to to get those extra followers or those extra likes. Social media can be so dangerous. Watching Mia’s character get absolutely shit over for having a ptsd panic attack, saying she was being a fake victim.. that’s real, unfortunately. It happens so often. Dylan and Zoey have only recently done interviews where they explain that the truth is sometimes never believed, that the lies circulating gets the better of them and puts out negative untrue vibes.

This movie HAD to be made. And I am so glad that Quinn did it in such a captivating way.

But I think that there is also another important point made from this movie......

What I have learnt is that it is indeed.. okay... to not be okay. Don’t hide if you’re in pain, because it’s very most likely that the person next to you is also not okay.

OKAY THAT’S MY REVIEW BYE

#not okay #not okay movie #dylan o'brien #zoey deutch #mia isaac #not okay 2022 #colin not okay #DON'T HATE ME ON WHAT I SAID thanks

Game night

Characters: Henry Cavill x female reader

Word count: 668

Warnings: None. Fluff.

Author’s note: I do not own any of the characters in this short story besides the reader, who is a figment of my imagination.

Tag: @littlefreya @sciapod @katerka88 @mitzwinchester @hell1129-blog @mary-ann84

MASTERLIST

Feedback is appreciated.

(GIF credit goes to the always wonderful and lovely @henry-cavlll)

Game night with friends was always a fun challenge. Both you and your boyfriend, Henry, loved to win and were really poor losers. You loved to gloat at your friends for winning. This night was no different.

Four of your friends were over for a game night. It had started with dinner and lots of wine, laughter, and teasing about each other’s gaming addictions.

Moving onto the sofa, you started up your Playstation 4 going right into the playlink game called ‘Knowledge is Power’, the winner was going to determine the first game of the night. With the vast knowledge that Henry had, he quickly gained a lot of points, but you were right behind him, not wanting to lose, didn’t matter that he was the love of your life, he was going down.

The pyramid-finale was where you were going to keep attacking him with the pranks, everyone else alternated their pranks between you and Henry, which annoyed the crap out of you.

After lots of fighting off freeze attacks, bombs, and green slime, Henry won. You mumbled a few curse words, irritated that he won by being a few milliseconds faster than you. He chose your next game. Charades.

“That’s not fair, Henry.” One of the guys whined, “You’re an actor, and you…” he pointed to you, “are an author, who writes and research words for a living.”

“Mark, is that fear I hear in your voice?” You teased your friend, “Afraid to lose to a superior couple?”

“What? No! Let’s play!” Mark huffed and picked a word from the basket.

You and Henry won victoriously, so you got to choose the next game. You felt a little devil taking over your body and chose Trivial Pursuit Disney, the red edition.

“Disney? Come on, what are we? Twelve?” Jasper, another friend, groaned.

“Are you afraid you’d get beaten by lil’ ol’ me?” You asked, trying to mimic his southern accent.

You set up the game, everyone for themselves. An hour into the game you were leading with five cheeses and needed the brown one. All your friends and Henry were still on two or three cheeses.

It was Henry’s turn and he landed on a blue cheese field.

“Ready?”

He rubbed his hands together and was optimistic.

“Bring it on, love.” He told Melanie, who was reading the question. He kissed your temple for good luck.

“On whose shoulders is Dopey standing on in this picture?”

You watched as your boyfriend stared at the little image on the card. His eyes widened, snapping his fingers, the wheels turning, working on high-speed. His face scrunched up, his right fist hitting the palm of his left hand.

“Oh god, why can’t I remember?” He whined, annoyed at himself for not remembering the dwarf’s name. “There’s Dopey, Doc, Happy, Bashful, Grumpy, Sleepy, and…”

“And?” Melanie asked, “Tik tok, Henry.”

“And… baaaah, I can’t remember.”

“Come on, honey. Think of me and Summer.” You told him.

“No helping!” Jasper said.

“Sneezy!” Henry exclaimed and laughed. The kind of laugh where his whole body would shake, he would put a hand over his heart and leaned his head back. The sound of his laughter was the most beautiful melody to your ears.

You wore a big smile on your lips, seeing him happy made you even happier. You leaned in to give him a long kiss.

“What was that for?” He asked and kissed the tip of your nose.

“I just love seeing you like this. Happy, laughing, relaxed. Having a brain fart.” You teased.

“You are going to tell everyone we know that I just couldn’t remember the seventh dwarf, aren’t you?” He smiled. You touched your forehead with his and just felt all the stress being released from your body, as you inhaled his scent.

“Yes dear, and I won’t let you forget this for the rest of your life.”

“Can you two stop being so cuddly and living in your bubble, so we can continue this game?”

3. A Semi-Original List of Things To Do During Quarantine

Niggas all over the timelines are baking banana bread, doing headstands, and making Tik Toks. Yeah it was fun the first few weeks – but now we’re almost four months deep into quarantine and the gworls need some change! A bit of variety. Some pizazz, if you will.

Well, fear not!

I am here to help (as per usual). Digging into the depths of my chicken breast-like brain has been hard, but I’ve done it to compile a list of things to try now that quarantine is dragging along. Some of these you’ve definitely heard before (but they were so good, it was worth mentioning again), some of these you may have considered but never really saw the value in, and some of these seem like I pulled them out of my ass, but I promise, they’re a fun time and definitely worth the try.

Take up a new workout routine now that gyms will probably cease to exist.

I can’t even speak on this one (my record this quarantine has been four days without leaving my bed), but health comes in different forms. Even back in the early stages, one of my favourite things to do was get a coffee and aimlessly walk around downtown – it got me out of the house, it didn’t feel like exercise, and was an excuse to take advantage of the warm weather. Exercise is both important for physical as well as mental health, as cited by a million and one studies, and can break up the monotonous cycles of online shopping, self-loathing, and eating that everyone seems to be trapped in these days. Your options, however, go beyond yoga and walking. Buy some weights or use one of the jars of canned tomatoes you have sitting your pantry (…) and do a weight routine. Go for a run. Climb some stairs. Bring back step aerobics like the bad bitches from the 80s. Ride a bike (Queen’s Quay is really nice, and pretty empty on the weekdays). The other benefit to establishing a good routine now is that you can carry it out through the winter. Maybe not the bike riding part, but you get my point.

Socialize (safely).

I never understood the obsession with patios until I went to El Jefe a few weeks ago, and it got me thinking about how fun that actually must be when everyone isn’t terrified of getting a virus from the person eating chips and guac two tables over. But! There are alternatives! I know you don’t believe me but there are! Toronto has more parks and green spaces than you’d think, and now is the perfect time to take advantage of them. Connect with nature, friends, and socializing in an environmentally friendly space (throw those White Claw cans in the trash, please) and you and your friends will literally be the peak of ecofeminism. If you’re tired of wearing your crop tops and lashes to the grocery store, picnics and beach days also give you a reason to look cute in public again (and with a mask, you don’t even have to put foundation on the bottom half of your face. #win). Some of my favourite places include Trinity-Bellwood Park and Woodbine Beach. If you have a car (or a lot of patience) Scarborough Bluffs is also definitely worth the commute. I think it’s a game changer that “going out” now means sitting in the grass making small talk, instead of getting hammered in some dark, damp club, but maybe it’s also improvement.

Clear out the clutter that you always tell yourself you’re too busy for.

I know you see it, bitch. That box of clothes overflowing in the back of your closets. Or the basket of random hair ties, scraps of paper, and pen caps on your shelf. What about when you open social media – Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, whatever – a see all these random people on your feed that you don’t remember following, much less ever meeting in real life. Quarantine has forced us to retreat to our own spaces, physically, mentally and emotionally, and now more than ever is the best time to reflect and take inventory of what brings you joy and (God forbid we’re in this situation again) what you’d be ok with surrounding yourself with 24/7. It may be hard – times of crisis especially encourage a scarcity mindset instead of an abundance one – but it doesn’t hurt to try and reframe your thinking!

The 3 Restaurant Rule

If you’re anything like me, then you love Uber Eats. Since this virus has stripped the joy of going out to eat from my small and soft hands, we’ve had to find ways to work around this. One of these compromises has been Uber Eats. But that, much like anything else in life, can soon get repetitive (and niggas were clowning me for actually enjoying Swiss Chalet. Fuck y’all.) So, I established some ground rules, one of which being the three-restaurant rule. Do I follow it all the time? No. But knowing that it exists had made trying new foods more like a game. Here’s what you do:

1. First, pick a type of cuisine (I’m partial to sushi, so we’re going to use that for this example).

2. Next, really study Uber Eats. Find the best restaurants in your area specializing in that kind of food and pick three restaurants that look the best to you. Another alternative (especially if you’re lucky enough to live downtown where a majority of restaurants are doing take out) would be to curate a list of places on Yelp! I loved doing this when outside was open – it made eating out feel a bit more purposeful, almost like it was for research).

3. Then, keep a lil list – on your phone, on paper, in your camera roll - wherever. When you’re not in the mood to cook, consult the list, and don’t pick a restaurant twice in a row. Start building up a list of places that you can say you’ve tried. Keep tabs on how you felt about the food to compare it to in-person dining when restaurants re-open, or make it an event with friends. Dress up, get together, crack a bottle of wine (or some beers, or sake, ya know – whatever floats your boat) and make it an event.

The other upside to this is now when people ask me for recommendations, I can give them with confidence instead of bullshitting like I would have before (sorry y’all LOL).

Learn how to do your own personal upkeep.

It would probably take me ten hands and feet to count the number of videos I’ve seen of nail salons throwing customers out for being black or on the prejudice of race and/or class, or the number of hair salons and stylists who charge extra fees for thickness, length (or lack thereof), or for specific styles and modifications, etc. If you knew me, you know I was devoted to my nail salon. I loved the feeling of getting a full set of acrylics, having all the work done for me, the little burn on my cuticles when they’d slide my hands under the UV light. But in quarantine, a lot of things happened – nail salons closed, I became unemployed, and suddenly, $60 manicures every two weeks were not realistic. YouTube has so many videos on how to do basic self-care - things like cutting or dyeing or braiding your own hair, doing your own nails (whether it be acrylic, gel, even a basic polish manicure), doing your own eyebrows – the possibilities are all there. And, if you get good enough – you can always go ahead and make it your own side hustle (with salons operating at half capacity, the demand for people that do house calls is rapidly increasing). I’ve recently swapped my acrylics for press on nails and let me tell you – game changer. They last just as long, look just as good, and allow me the freedom of talon-like nails without having my bank account scream at me (a post on how I do my faux-acrylics at home coming soon!)

Try to watch something that isn’t reality television.

I know 90 Day Fiancee is that GIRL. And if you’re like me, you tend to get very sucked into YouTuber mukbang drama as well (if anyone wants to discuss Nikocado Avocado with me, I am more than willing). But after a while, it gets kind of repetitive, and there’s no harm in educating yourself on other topics. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, even YouTube all have so many documentaries on a variety of topics – from crime, to health, to cults – there’s literally something for everyone. Plus, there’s something really self-satisfying about learning something on your own. If you need a place to start, my personal favourite is Bikram (Netflix) and any of the Vice documentaries on YouTube, but there are so many, so browse around and find one that suits your personal taste.

There are also many documentaries on environmentalism and the Black existence/experience/life in America and globally. Considering all the things that are going on right now, it would be wise to educate oneself, especially when the tools for doing so are a few clicks away. My personal favourites are 13 and Who Shot the Sherriff, but there’s so many that you don’t have an excuse not to at least learn SOMETHING.

Severe ties and blame it on the pandemic.

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Maybe there’s the persistent wanna-be friend who you tried to avoid in your Thursday 11-1 lecture and would incessantly text you for notes. Or the creepy guy who would always be in your study spot in Deerfield and message you after with the dumbass eye emojis. Maybe it’s that one friend you used to call to console you of your issues, but by the end of the chat you felt more unnerved than understood. Whomever it is, don’t be afraid to stray away a bit and use the excuse of social distance or “getting your head together” to gradually give yourself some space and make things a bit obvious without having to be a total asshole. It can help, tbh, and the last thing you need in a time like this is to feel guilty for someone else’s feelings.

Be ok with doing nothing.

Life is always on some go,go,go shit. With people posting all those fucking memes about hustling or whatever, it can be easy to feel like you’re sitting in quarantine wasting your life away because you haven’t joined Forex, or OnlyFans, or started three side businesses, or taught yourself a new language or whatever. But listen – look at quarantine like a break. You had a nice long break to re-cooperate and self-indulge a lil bit and you know what? That’s ok! You’re not less of a person because you chose to rest or hang out in bed more than you should have. Don’t let other people’s progress (or lack thereof) be a measure of your own. How can you expect to bounce back after a GLOBAL PANDEMIC if you spent the entire time beating yourself up for not living up to other people’s idea of success? …Exactly. This list is just for fun and personal growth, but realistically, quarantine is for doing whatever the fuck you want (safely and sanely, of course), but literally look at this time off as God, Allah, Buddha, whomever, pumping the brakes on what is a normally hectic life. Slow down, enjoy the small things (ALL the small things), and allow yourself to be what you are – a human being, not a fucking machine.

Percabeth: Alcohol and Mansplaining: Quarantine

“You know, Ari, everytime I see this tik-tok, all I can think of is mom.”

“Which one?” She’s trying to paint the wall, without dripping paint all over the bed. What is wrong with her paint today?

“You know, the one that goes two shots of vodka and then she pours like the whole damn bottle?”

She looks over at her sister, sitting in bed, guitar perched on her knee, but scrolling through her phone. “Liz, that’s a vine NOT a tik-tok.”

“I mean, they’re basically the same thing. So, ya know, go with it.” Ariadne rolled her eyes, and went back to painting the wall. This sunset painting was going to get finished today. She wanted to start a new project and the more she has to scrap and recoat the wall, she might just push her brain over the edge. “Anyways, I’m going to go find our parents. Make sure they’re not causing trouble.” Mmm-hmm, you mean like you’re trying to do, Ariadne thought.

It couldn’t have been longer than five minutes that Liz was gone, but when she did come back, she was very annoyed. “Listen, Ari, for the sake of professionalism, Mom has not gone off on this guy, but this little man-whore-”

“Lizzie, you shouldn't use man-whore, it's nasty.”

“Right, right..you’re right. This lil bitchchacha keeps talking over her, mansplaining her job to her. So, I say we do something about it.” She sighed, here it comes.

“We gotta make her a drink.”

“Oh yes! I’ve been wanting a drink for a while.”

“Girl, what?”

“You think I don’t have more than 1 fake ID? Girl, please.” Elizabeth cackled. “To the alcohol cabinet!”

“Okay, Chlo, what’s in a Long Island?”

“Um, well, our beach house at Camp where I wish we were right now?”

“The drink you numbskull!”

“You don’t already know? Wow, and I thought you owned a fake ID.”

“Doesn’t mean I go out drinking a strong ass drink. They’d kill me if I came home drunk as a skunk. I usually stick to like a single rum and coke. I mean, the lighter you go, the less you are to spill all your damn secrets.”

“Anyways, the google says its got coke -”

“Where are we supposed to get cocaine?”

“The DRINK. LIKE COCA-COLA…. Who’s the crackhead now, Ariadne Rose?”

“Lizzie! Oh my god! Both our middle names are after types of wine! Chloe and Rose!”

“I - Oh my gods, you’re right. What the hell?” They both sat there for a few minutes. “How have we been alive for 16 years and didn’t know that?” They both started laughing, call it cabin fever, but this social-distancing was hell for the two of them and seemed to be making them delirious.

“Back to the drink: Google says it has coke, vodka, tequila, gin, rum, sour mix, triple sec...Do we have all that?”

“Well, we’ve got some vodka, I don’t see any of that other stuff. There may be some tequila somewhere.”

“Well, shit. Hang on, I’m going to ask dad.”

“No! Have you lost your mind? If he finds out, he’ll kill us.”

“No, he wouldn’t...But, maybe you’re right. We definitely shouldn’t tell a responsible adult what we’re doing...even though another responsible adult will be getting the drink.”

“Fuck it. I’m just going to put some vodka and coke, and like some of that simple syrup stuff dad uses.”

“That’s for cakes and stuff, not alcohol.”

“Bih- I don’t care.”

“Well, at least Mom’ll crash from a sugar high rather than being drunk… Ooh, we’ve got ice cream. Should we add some?” Ariadne can tell Elizabeth is getting punchy, and is really about to start going bat-shit with whatever they do to their poor mother.

“Yes. Yes, we should.”

“I don’t think this can really count as an alcoholic beverage at this point.”

“Well, it's definitely not a Long Island, that’s for sure… Are we done? I think we should be done.”

“Okay, so like, should we knock on the door?”

“Liz, what? No. You literally said she’s still on the call.” She opens the door, and they can see her glance up, and then look back at the computer. The man is still talking.

“You see, I really want it to have a sort of green-house feel. Like, I want the roof to be a dome with nothing but windows. Have you seen a dome before? They’re really cool, and I don’t want anything to be just a boring square. And, well, I don’t think you’ve seen a colosseum before, but that’s really what I’d like for the main area. I also really want…” Mom looked like she wanted to strangle him. Ari set the drink on the desk and turning around, she saw Lizzie with that dam sign. IT'S ALCOHOL. DRINK.

“Shit, Lizzie, I thought you were joking about that.” Oops. That was loud.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Garnichelli. I’m going to have to call you back.” They heard the glass slam onto the desk. Uh oh. The call ended, and she said, “Gee, no. I’ve never heard of very simple fixtures in architecture - ever. I’m just saying I’m an architect for shits and giggles.” Lizzie snorted. “Girls, what is in this drink?”

“Uh, ice cream, coke, and vodka.”

“You… okay. Thank you, but if I drink this, I’m going to end up calling that mansplainer ass back and give him a piece of my mind, so I’m getting some wine…” She stood up, and walked to the door, and then back to her desk, “and I’m going to dump this out so neither of you decide to take it for yourself.”

“You trust us that little?”

“No, I just don’t want to explain to my husband why his daughters were in the alcohol without permission. Now, come on, we’re watching Reign and eating a shit ton of the cookies he baked.”

Social Distancing-- But Make It Aesthetic

A guide to staying in by Tyler. I had fun spending a lot of time on this, i hope you can take away something from it :))

note: photos are NOT mine unless stated that they are

Things you can do anywhere:

Make art: doodle on random pen and paper, make sketches, paint if you have paint! Digital work, collages and sewing projects are also cool to start. Keep your mind and hands busy

(photo by me, tyler watts)

Journaling: this is such a culturally/historically significant time that we’re in, so write out thoughts, feelings, and document your day to day to look back and remember the current state of things. Writing is a great way to reflect and communicate with yourself!

Meditate: Meditation can take many forms-- yoga, breathing exercises, working on chakra alignment and being still with your thoughts are great ways to detach and focus on spiritual/emotional health.

Watch movies (or should i say films): Netflix, hulu, on-demand, and random gems on YouTube and other websites are great places to find movies to watch. Working through a movie list is fun and keeps you busy!

What I’ve watched thus far→ Fight Club (1999), Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019), The Vampire Diaries Season 1(2009)

Read books: Reading is a great way to pass the time especially if you don't normally have time for it during regular school. Read an e-book or listen to an audiobook if you don't have any in print with you! Reading is aesthetic because it makes you look and feel smart, which is fun and simple as that.

What I’m reading → This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald (it moves kind of slow but it’s interesting)

Get famous on social media: make vlogs on youtube, create a twitter. Be resourceful, inventive, and get a following going. A lot of people will be online, so take advantage and create content!!!

Become a Pinterest addict: Enter a well of outfit ideas, photography inspo, corny quotes, recipes, beauty tips, workouts, and more (: You can really spend days at a time on here

Follow me→ @tylerrwatts

Learn all the TikTok dances: I don't think i have to explain this one. You’ll already probably spend hours on this app per day, so while you’re at it try out all the dances on your for you page.

Research astrology: i know a lot about western astrology, so if you want to chat or have someone read your chart just hit me up! Or, download apps like CoStar Astrology or look online here to start beginner’s research.Take what you want from astrology (and don’t take it too seriously) but it is a cool way to pass the time, learn about yourself, your friends, and the stars

Workout: Even if you don’t have equipment, carve out at least ten minutes for something to get your blood flowing (push ups, core circuits, squats, yoga, the aforementioned tik tok dances, etc). Endorphins = good vibes

Become a beauty guru: Even without a ton of palettes or swatches get creative and experiment with makeup if you’re into wearing it. Perfect that wing and paint your nails too!

Stay hydrated: It’s 2020. America’s favorite pastime is (or at least i think it should be) drinking water! Period

Stay caffeinated: As I learned after not having coffee or caffeinated tea since Tuesday morning, do whatever it takes to survive and maintain that serotonin. I recommend green teas and matcha as well as any form of instant coffee you can find and store long term. BUT, avoid going out to dunkin or starbucks; it’s not that deep

Music: Streaming, vinyls, cassettes, CDs-- whatever you can listen on, vibe out, dance around, and discover new artists

some new albums I recommend:

- Man Alive! by King Krule

- Kiss My Super Bowl Ring by The Garden

- Eternal Atake by Lil Uzi Vert

my Spotify: tylwat7

the aesthetic society playlist (add some songs):

Some things if you’re staying at home :

Organize your wardrobe: Put stuff you don't want anymore in a bag for the thrift shop to take later. Create lookbooks and keep track of outfit ideas so people will say, “wow you look great!” when you see them again, and you can pretend like you didn’t spend the last month or so away from your peers focused on one goal: the glow up

Chef thingz: Make your favorite dishes, drinks, and microwave meals. Get creative, food is friend! Some cool things to eat/drink include:

charcuterie boards: fancy lunchables that are very easy to make if you’re vegan! https://www.spendwithpennies.com/how-to-make-a-charcuterie-board/

Whipped coffee (as seen on tiktok) it’s great, lightweight, sweet coffee

Fancy oatmeal and/or yogurt

Cereal

E g g s ( if you are vegan i don't recommend these)

In Conclusion

I hope you guys can have fun indoors! Keep spirits high and spread positivity <3

if I was home, instead of in this dorm room I hate, today would’ve been a good day.

I would’ve finished making an among us helmet out of cardboard from this tik tok tutorial. I would’ve bought spray paint to paint it black, gotten my little black backpack, black snow boots, black sweatpants, and black turtleneck. would’ve watched a youtube tutorial on how to make fake cuts with blood and tissue paper and glue, and made a jagged cut down the side of my face. would’ve made myself look pretty and everything, added a lil cardboard, green stem and leaf taped to the top of the helmet. finishing touches would’ve been a printed out, lil “nasa” logo, taped to my turtleneck. I would’ve gone to my friend’s basement halloween party and been fricking beautiful and amazed everyone. I would’ve finally met my friends’ college friends irl. I would’ve relished in my height advantage over the guy that slighted my one friend and been as intimidating as possible through my mask. I fucking dream of actually getting to be passive aggressive to him, or maybe even cuss him out, in person one day. I would’ve gotten to meet their small friend who intimidated me until I saw what she looks like. She’s adorable, and yet so fucking cool, and I really fucking want to meet her. And the dude I’m lowkey catching feelings for, i could finally fucking flirt with irl. i’d fucking make him fall in love with my smile and a laugh heard through something other than a microphone. turtlenecks and sweatpants make me look skinnier than I am, combined with a mask to cover my double chin, and all he’d have to base his impression of me off of would be my humor and jabs and eyeliner and hair, which are the only parts of me that are actually attractive, thank god. it’d be like a dream. i’d get that same, crush-like hyperawareness of where he is in the room all the time, making sure i held myself in an attractive manner whenever possible, which i know sounds psycho, but fuck does it work. i’d actually get to see his spiky hair in person! maybe he’d let me touch it... he’d actually get to see just how much he makes me smile, this time in person. i’d prove him wrong in so many things we’ve bet on: yes, i do have rbf; no, he won’t be able to tell when i’m lying; yes, i’ll be able to intimidate him; yes, i’ll be able to read his face and tell when he’s screwing with me. i’d get to actively stare without seeming creepy under the guise of an actual experiment; guys, i’m just trying to read the ways his eyebrows twitch and his eyes upturn and his jaw sets and his cheekbones rise to read if he’s fucking with me, of course i’m not just watching his face because it’s pretty as fuck and fuck is his face beautiful, like, oh my lord. probably weird asf, but i highkey want to see if his lips are actually that chapped irl. i want to run my fingers over them and berate him for not wearing chapstick. fuck okay this is getting outta hand but you get the gist

i would’ve liked to hug my friends so. damn. much. i know with corona i probably wouldn’t have been able to, but fuck do i just want to hug them tight. the girl i’ve been friends with the longest and the strongest, she’s basically my sister, and fuck do i just wanna hug her really really tight and spin her around. and the other girl, she’s taller and soft and so huggable, she gives some of the best hugs out there. i’d just really love to hug the shit outta them fuck, and to get to gossip with just the two of them and laugh like old times... fuuuck

i really wish i hadn’t spent halloween visiting the bank, eating cheetos, napping, and generally doing nothing productive or fun. if i was going to ignore my work, i would’ve at least liked to have a good time...

244. The Big List of Favorite Commercials (part 17)

(part 16)

1985 Velveeta Extra Thick Slices "enough for the biggest cheese appetite" TV Commercial

This commercial is kinda sickening but I love that "extra thick" voice. That plastic cheese is too thick!

"Six Degrees of Separation" by John Guare at Lincoln Center Theater [1990]

"His shirt isn't bleeding! HE'S BLEEDING!"

Frankie and Johnny's Furniture: See the Special Man [1989?]

[grumbling] "Let her have it!"

Conan showed this old commercial from New Orleans on his show back in 2012.

Here is a news report on it.

Jane Lynch Roach Control Combat Commercial 1995

Doesn't this look like a parody of a Combat commercial, and not a real combat commercial? Reminds me a lil of that SNL sketch with the roach killer that teared off their legs and then used the legs to beat the roach to death. However, this time Jane is the host of the episode.

New Coke Commercial (1986)

Next time I go out this week (which let's face it will probably just be the Publix) I'm doing my makeup like this.

McDonald's Filet-O-Fish - Commercial Classic 1985

This Minnie the Moocher x Filet O Fish mashup is a JAM.

Kraft Singles Tennis Cards Promo - Australian Commercial

We love you and your giant packs of cheese, Pam.

Little Shop of Horrors broadway play commercial 1983

Now, I've never seen Little Shop, I've only seen the parody on Family Guy of "Somewhere That's Green", and I just read the plot on wikipedia and it sounds sad. BUT but, this commercial has Marlene Danielle from Cats, pre her being with Cats through its entire original Broadway run.

1986 Snuggles Poison Contol PSA

Never ever ever...touch, taste or drink...bottles and boxes under the sink? Such a clunky saying.

NBC Commercial - Thank You (1986)

I discovered this one from the Jaboody Show. Yes, they obsess over how bald Dennis Franz is, and how sexy John Larroquette is. This is a shorter version, I can't find the long one where Jane Pauley says "z'thank you".

The 25 Best Albums of 2017

the Staff

2017 has been a little bit of a whirlwind year. If we thought that 2016 could get somehow worse in any way, 2017 has topped it. But taking a break from possible nuclear world war III, losing the power of the internet, men being whiny babies because retribution is finally coming for the awful scumbags in Hollywood, and our president cheeto’s tiny, waving hands, music is our savior. Music is universal, music is wondrous, and these artists made that abundantly clear. From collaborations made in heaven to strumming guitars recorded on Iphones, 2017 is diverse, daunting, and yes, oh so good. Throughout the year these albums have stuck with me in one form or another. They’ve come with me to Australia, and to my first solo apartment. They’ve played as I worked my first internship job, and they’ve been the soundtrack to my final senior thesis project. They’ve been with me as I’ve lost love and found it, and they’re with me as I move into my final semester of college. Today I present to you my personal top 25 albums of 2017.

Honorable Mentions:

As a radio host, this list began in 2015 and I only had 3 hours to do the show, so I kick off the list of the albums that would have definitely made a top 50 list, but neither me nor anybody else has that kind of time.

Toro y Moi // Boo Boo

King Krule // Ooz

Lil Yachty // Teenage Emotions (Bring it back)

Gorillaz // Humanz

All of which were absolutely fantastic, but ultimately did not make the list (hey, I’m only human). So, without further ado, from bottom to top:

25. Lil B // Black Ken

So here’s the thing about Lil B. Yes, he is the #basedgod, and yes, I did listen to his hundreds of mixtapes in high school, but one of my favorite things about Brandon McCartney is his undeniable message of improvement. He went on tour in 2009 for a self help book he wrote, which still cracks me up to this day (#staybased). And after 2015’s unforgettable Hoop Life, he went on a bit of a hiatus, coming back with one of the most well-produced, succinct rap albums I’ve heard in a long time, let alone coming from Lil B himself. He takes us through a little bit of the story with “Still Run It” and “DJ Based God”, and yet this album is worlds away from his previous work of drunkenly freestyling over unmastered beats. Slick and jazzy with excellent drops and good flow, Black Ken is unforgettable, coming from one of the most unforgettable rappers out there.

24. Jay Som // Everybody Works

Every so often there is an indie rock album that you hear that you cannot forget any time soon. Alvvays 2014’s Alvvays is in a similar vein, and Everybody Works is the kind of album you can put on, jam out to with gin and orange juice and forget a little bit that everything kinda sucks. And yet, most of these songs are about things sucking, at least in a romantic sense. Many of the songs feature heartbreak (“One More Time Please” and “The Bus Song”). And yet there is also overcoming fear; to go on and perform in front of a crowd, to share your message and have it mean something (“(Bedhead)”). Jay Som is definitely someone to watch over the next few years.

23. Mount Eerie // A Crow Looked At Me

Music is emotional, and this album is the kind of album that reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s Blue, of the sickness and heartbreak and sadness that is human. A Crow Looked At Me was a response to the death of Phil Elverum’s wife, and this loss can literally be felt with every pluck of his guitar strings. From the opening line of the album, that “Death is real”, to the final track of the album, of a tender walk in the woods with his wife, seeing a crow flying over the trees. The crow was an omen, says Elverum, he just wasn’t sure of what it was, and A Crow Looked at Me takes us that place of uncertainty, yes, but ultimately it takes us with Elverum as he returns to the world. It takes us through his loss and into the void to emerge from the other side, human, and not quite sure what’s going to happen next.

22. Alvvays // Antisocialites

Okay yes, I’ve already mentioned Alvvays on this list literally two slots ago but it was because I flipped out so much when this band released this album that I’ve been waiting for for three years. When they first made headlines in 2014, it was from their lead single, an extremely sarcastic anthem of...matrimony. There is no “Marry Me, Archie” on this album, and yet each track is still just as poignantly indie-rock as their debut. “In Undertow”, the first single released on the album, was released about midway through the summer. This song is ultimately about a relationship ending, and just having pulled myself from a similar situation as the narrator, it’s chorus of “there’s no turning, no turning back after what’s been said” struck a chord, as one might say, with me. There is no turning back, but “You find a wave and try to hold on for as long as you can”, says lead singer Molly Rankin, and I can at least hold onto that wave, too.

21. Torres // Three Futures

I saw Mackenzie Scott go on tour for this album, and she showed up on stage wearing a blazer over a sports bra and 5 inch heels. It was pretty intimidating. Scott made my best album list back in 2015 with her incredible release Sprinter, and yet, Three Futures resonated somehow more with me. Perhaps it was the title track’s chorus, singing, “You didn't know I saw three futures / One alone, and one with you / And one with the love I knew I'd choose”. Yes, something may end, but we may emerge from that darkness again and end with something w both want. Also, the music video for “Skim”, the lead single, is something else, and definitely worth a watch.

20. Kesha // Rainbows

This album for me was an anthem. Kesha Sebert has been kind of an icon for middle-school me; “Tik Tok” dropped when I was twelve, and it dominated the music of middle-school dances. And if it wasn’t “Tik Tok”, it was one of the gajillion other top hits. And then I learned that her producer had been sexually harassing her and preventing her from having practically say on any of her artistic releases. And Kesha’s struggle somehow that year became all of our struggles. Kesha fought a long, uphill battle separating away from Kemosabe and Dr. Luke, and this record is a direct response to that. It’s even more fitting then that men are finally getting what’s coming to them. As Kesha sings in one of the singles, “Woman”, “I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright / I don't need a man to be holding me too tight”

19. James McAllister, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, Sufjan Stevens // Planetarium

Okay, yes. This album is long, this album is kinda mostly experimental classical music. It’s a lot of beeps, it’s a lot of boops. But listen though; I still maintain that everything Sufjan Stevens touches is absolute gold; and also, this album is a classical music match made in heaven. I may be just making excuses, but when “Saturn” dropped back in June, I lost my shit. And again after “Mercury” dropped three weeks later. I may be one of the only few people who loved this album, but let me tell you, firstuvall, it’s an album about space, and seconduvall, the transitions from “Kuiper’s Belt” to “Black Hole” to “Saturn” is something remarkable. I know “Jupiter” is a little overblown, but like, let’s be real, “Mercury” makes up for it, following the nearly 15 minute long instrumental “Earth”, ending with Steven’s quiet voice over intimate guitar, singing, “All that I dream / Where do you run, where do you run to? / Now I am messed up”. Yeah, Suffy, I’m a little messed up too.

18. Slowdive // Slowdive

Okay, I didn’t think that I would get into shoegaze this year, but let me tell you, this release changed my mind. I’m sure that the infamous reputation of shoegaze concerts gets out there, but actually going to one and just kind of sitting there mesmerized in the green light, standing without moving as some guy is just staring at his feet as he mostly just changes the pedals on his guitar? I’ll admit that sounds silly, but ho boy is it pretty dope. And Slowdive kind of did the perfect thing you could do: have only a limited catalogue for fans, go on hiatus, keep all the people who actually mattered in the band, and then release a damn good album after ten years. “Star Roving” kinda changed my view on shoegaze; pedals guitars never sounded so good.

17. The National // Sleep Well, Beast

I think the National have yet to release something that isn’t brilliant in every way possible. I’m not intimately familiar with their catalogue, but on a cold evening when I’m working on studying and want to slam my head against the blackboard, the quiet guitars and the deep, soothing voice of Matt Berninger singing about how much more life can suck keeps me going. Like a bunch of other albums on this list it’s once again about heartbreak, this time a marriage falling apart. “Day I Die” has Berninger singing to you, “I don’t need you, I don’t need you”, but his hushed quiet whisper on the last track/title track of the album whispering, “I’ll tell you about it sometime” leading up to this almost weirdly crunchy guitar riff closes out the album leaving you with something of a sort of hope, at least. Which is mostly what the National does -- it’s pretty sad stuff, and yet, somehow, you keep coming back to its brilliance.

16. Sampha // Process

2017’s music scene came in two parts: part one was people we all love releasing really good shit, and then the second part was people I’ve never heard of releasing really good music from absolutely nowhere. Sampha was part two. He had done a bunch of stuff (in re, collaborate with Kanye West) but I had never heard of this guy. Until he released an album centered around his mother’s battle with cancer and ultimate death. The first time I heard “Timmy’s Prayer”, I thought to myself, damn. Quiet music has a good place, and Sampha’s hushed voice over the ambient chords singing “I messed up, ooh / I know now / There's no room for me to play now” reminds me that yeah, I’ve messed up too. The real magic of the song, however, comes from the building of the bridge as Sampha sings with increasing fervor, “I wanna tell you that love comes and goes / That it comes and goes.” We all make mistakes, and sometimes it’s pretty fucking hard, and yet that process can lead to something beautiful, something wondrous.

15. Kelela // Take Me Apart

There is a reason that pop music is changing. For so long it’s been defined by EDM, and finally (finally) it’s shifting -- yes, to r&b. Thank goodness. And this album is the kind of album that reminds me why r&b is so good. Take Me Apart is Kelela’s debut, and you can bet I’m going to be paying attention to her in the next few years. I like to save songs that I really enjoy on a playlist for the season and I had to keep myself from just saving the entire album on the list as each song was equally as brilliant as the song that came before. A transition between to relationships, the album begins with a breakup song, but the brilliance comes from not only the lyrics, but the utterly intoxicating build through the first verse until the beat drops as the chorus begins, Kelela singing, “Couldn't take it back even though you wish I could / If you think I'm going back, you misunderstood.” (”Frontline”) The album takes you through the emotional journey of beginning another relationship however, and ultimately ends with a track of encouragement, that yeah, black women can fuck up the world, too: “There's a place for everyone / Let me remind you, let me remind you.”

14. Arcade Fire // Everything Now

Arcade Fire never does anything lightly. They had a whole fake branding down to the fake website for Reflektor, which ended up being a nearly 70 minute long somewhat-bloated excapade. Then they decided to do disco, and for some reason the critic world decided they didn’t like it. Fuck that. Everything Now was my summer listening album (other than a few more noteworthy albums to come). My coworkers and I blasted the lead single “Everything Now” through the open window of our field sampling van as we took buckets of crabs into the lab, and my friends and I sang the lyrics to “Signs of Life” as we strutted through the streets of Manhattan on our 21st birthday. I don’t even care that Pitchfork tore this album to shreds, if you don’t dance when the chorus of “Looking for signs of life / Looking for signs every night / But there's no signs of life / So we do it again” drops, something is wrong with you.

13. LCD Soundsystem // american dream

I’ll admit, I have never listened to LCD Soundsystem that much. I respected them as one of the more well known rock bands of the indie scene, and I had obviously heard a few of their more popular numbers on college radio (“All My Friends”). When their synthesizer/DJ genius person Gavin Rayna Russom came out as trans, it caught my attention. So when american dream came along, the release after a hiatus (post hiatus albums always get me, in re: Fall Out Boy, Sleater Kinney and obviously Slowdive) I listened to it. And it was a fantastic intro to the band: the long dancy kinda songs (“other voices” and “tonight”) to the even longer anthems (“how do you sleep”) and the even longer experimental EDM songs LCD is so well known for (“pulse v.1”), this album impressed me, and I came back for more. I understood why LCD soundsystem was so acclaimed; their music was damn good, and worth the wait.

12. Migos // C U L T U R E

Donald Glover called “Bad n Boujee” the best rap song he had ever heard. I’m not sure it’s the best I’ve ever heard, but Migos’ Culture was a damn good album. Impressively produced by 18 people and yet the three rappers at the center of the album are never lost. “Bad n Boujee”, the obvious hit from the album and collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert, is pretty relevant in today’s materialism, talking about getting rich and being with women with expensive taste. With lines like “cookin’ up dope in a crockpot” and “I'm young and rich and plus I'm boujee (hey)”, the song is big, and relevant, and addicting. Bourgeois is the new 1%, and if you’re not living it up, then what’s the point of living.

11. Run the Jewels // Run the Jewels 3

Run the Jewels’ first album was a little more of an experimental thrust into the world, and their second album brought the politicism and polarized lyrics we’ve come to know. Their third album takes what has been established and solidifies it into something uniquely theirs: big, bad and in your face; only the lyrics pack a little more punch than you first thought on the first listen. With team-ups with Danny Brown (“Hey Kids (Bumaye)”) to songs that are just RTJ taking it to the next level and keeping it as hype and as loud and as relevant as we’ve come to expect (“Talk To Me” and “Legend Has It”), RTJ3 is excellent, staying with us all the way through 2017 since its release in January. Oh, and if “Pather like a Pather” isn’t featured in Marvel’s Black Panther, they’re doing something really fucking wrong.

10. Vince Staples // big fish theory

When Vince Staples announced that he was departing from the previous sound of his critically acclaimed Summertime ‘06, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Then I heard that SOPHIE, of PC Music notoriety, was helping produce his album. The songs that carrie SOPHIE’s touch are obvious (“SEMO”, “Yeah Right”); SOPHIE is not a subtle producer, but this newer, bigger sound didn’t drown Staples’ raps, they exemplified them. Staples thrives in this sound as he thrived in the atonality of Summertime, and songs like “BagBak” and “745” are impressively big, hooking the listener in and keeping them coming back for more. I was impressed, and big fish theory is an album I have returned to several times this year. Staples takes us into his life with “Big Fish”, looking out at the world from how far he’s come in his fish bowl, and somehow the intimacy comes through amidst the bigger, badder sound.

9. Syd // Fin

This album was released in February. My friend called me and told me I needed to “have sweet lesbian sex to this album right now”. I couldn’t, so I put it off (idiotically) until I finally (only) listened to the album months later, in July. And I felt like an idiot. Syd, one half of the funk/r&b duo The Internet, is a queer icon. She shits gold, and her voice is the kind of smooth, cocky voice that is addicting and extremely sexy. Fin exemplifies this. Only Syd can pull of a braggadocio, egotistical song about fame, money, and of course, bitches: “I’m the one your girl been posting tweets ‘bout / This the kinda life me and my niggas used to dream ‘bout / Riding round your city in a mother fucking spaceship” (”No Problem”). Only Syd can sing this explicitly about sex and somehow make it tender: “Baby we can take it slow, say my name / Don't let go, I can hear your body when I / Pull your hair, what’s my name” from “Body” basically sum up the album. It’s Syd bragging about how great she is, and fuck yes, is she great.

8. HAIM // Something to Tell You

HAIM has been my favorite band since I first heard “The Wire” on my college radio as I drove home one afternoon just before I graduated as a senior. I listened to that album nearly every day that summer, and since then, I listen to the band and think of home. I was so nervous the moment I heard the news about their new release; I was terrified it was going to be a sellout record and absolute garbage. It wasn’t. It was no Days Are Gone, but it was just as wistful, just as smooth as Days Are Gone was, with a little extra disco. Sure, there are moments when it’s a little overproduced (sorry Ariel Rechtshaid, I don’t really care to hear this weird pop fake horse neigh on “Want You Back”, I just want to hear Este Haim’s slap bass and Alana’s first extended vocal solo since “Spirit Wind”). I may not have every song memorized yet, but you can bet I scream along to the chorus of the cathartic “Found it in Silence”: “But I found it in silence, I finally see / There's no turning back, I know what's good for me” or the almost Imogen Heap-like “Kept Me Crying”: “I was your lover / I was your friend / Now I'm only just someone you call / When it's late enough to forget”, and finally we hear the Danielle Haim Guitar Solo we’ve been waiting to hear since the beginning of the album. There’s throwback disco (“You Never Knew”), there’s raging blues rock (“Little of your Love”), there’s cathartic goodbyes (“Right Now”), and yeah, I’m a little teary. My band didn’t disappoint, and I am happy.

7. Jlin // Black Origami

This album was released in February, and has stuck with me throughout the entire year. It’s a black woman who refuses to let people (aka, white men) produce her work for her. It’s experimental and percussive and sometimes makes your brain feel like it’s melting (“1%). There aren’t many lyrics in the album, it’s almost entirely EDM experimental percussion, and gosh man, is it good. I listened to the album for the first time and I physically felt myself leave my body for a few moments to forget I was human. The percussive roots of the album are apparent in tracks like “Kyanite” and “Nyakinyua Rise”, and she gives us quieter moments with “Calcination” a rest from the percussive sound centered at the album’s heart. This album blew me away and stuck with me, and was one of the most out-of-nowhere albums of the year. There are surprises hidden away in this world; you just have to find them.

6. Giraffage // Too Real

So it was not once but twice my friend called me in frantic haze, saying, “Molly. Remember when I called you in February to tell you you needed to listen to Syd’s album that very moment and you didn’t and it bit you in the butt? Listen to this album right now.” I had never heard of Giraffage, and when I pulled the album up on spotify I was greeted by a naked blue guy’s butt, resembling Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan, looking at a crumbling earth. Little was I to know that some vaporwave album from nowhere would go on to be one of my absolute favorite albums of the year. It’s indietronica/vapor soul at its finest: little to no lyrics except for the vocal distortion of “oooOOh YEAH” on the album’s opener “Do U Want Me” (somewhat off putting) until the funk kind of chimes in about 15 seconds later and takes you on the smoothest journey to vaportown. This may seem like I’m chiding the album, but that is the album’s vibe. It chides you until you listen to it 8 more times just that week. Something about future funk is addicting, and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

5. St. Vincent // MASSEDUCTION

How about we take the fallout of a relationship between two of the most iconic women on earth, that we thought for sure were gonna get married, have the musician at the center of the fallout write an album inspired in part from it, and have Jack Antonoff produce it. And let’s have every track be so St. Vincent that the album may in fact be her best album yet. From the moment “New York” dropped in the middle of the summer and became one of my quickly most listened to tracks of the year (“you’re the only motherfucker in this city who forgives me”) to the dropping of “Los Ageless” as a crunchy indie rock anthem (“How can anybody have you? / How can anybody have you and lose you? / How can anybody have you and lose you / And not lose their minds, too?”) to the fervent listen I gave the entire album the second it dropped on a September Friday, to seeing Annie Clark herself perform the album in its entirety live in Maine, this album has been one of my defining albums of 2017. In the end, Clark hints at what made that relationship fall apart on possibly my favorite track of the album, “Slow Disco”: “Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'? / I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave”. We’ll miss you until next time, Annie. But we’ll keep coming back.

4. Kendrick Lamar // DAMN.

Kendrick Lamar has been on my top albums of the year list since 2015. The man releases a living masterpiece, To Pimp a Butterfly, to critical acclaim. Next year, the same year Kanye West releases one of the most overproduced albums I’ve seen in my living years, he drops untitled unmastered, which went on to steal my heart. This year, he decides to make an album about growing up as a young black man in Compton, CA, and somehow makes it the most listenable rap album of the year. He is deservedly on the top spot again for both Pitchfork and NPR and a number of other publications, and deserves nothing less. From the songs everybody has on their party playlists, “Humble” and “DNA”, to collaborations with Rihanna and, um, U2?, to the end track of the album “Duckworth” telling the story of Lamar’s now-producer avoiding a robbery at Lamar’s father’s counseling, rewinding back to the beginning of the album, right back where we started: “So I was takin’ a walk the other day...”. The cycle repeats, and Lamar is left right in the center of it all, exactly where he should be.

3. SZA // Ctrl

Sometimes there are people in this world who are born with the voice of an angel and Solána Rowe is one of them. I idiotically did not listen to this album upon its immediate release; it was not until I was recapping the summer did my friend berate me for not listening to Ctrl. I listened to it and immediately fell head over heels in love with Rowe and everything she’s ever released. Ctrl took the minimalistic groundwork laid in Z and upped the ante, making the songs even more listenable than you thought. There’s a reason that r&b makes such good soundtracks to any sort of activity you could imagine; exemplified by the smooth base and twinkling synths of “The Weekend” to the more laid back “Drew Barrymore” as she sings, “am I / Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah”, worrying like all of us do, in a moment of self doubt, if we are in fact good enough for the loved ones around us. Ctrl exemplifies this self doubt, making it poignant, universal, and oh so listenable.

2. Lorde // Melodrama

Lorde is my age, and it’s a little bit jarring. And yet, every single thing she sings about being a 21-year old is somehow reflected back into my life. Perhaps it was the release order of her singles, from “Green Light”, which sounded like a typical pop song with pretty good lyrics, to “Liability”, easily the best song Lorde has ever released in her entire life (“They say, "You're a little much for me, you're a liability / You're a little much for me” / So they pull back, make other plans / I understand, I'm a liability”), to “Perfect Places”, one of the greatest party anthems I have heard over these years, Lorde has outdone herself again. And if it couldn’t get any better, she takes one of the weaker songs on the album, “Homemade Dynamite”, and releases a remix with Khalid, SZA, and Post Malone (yes, you heard me right). Everything about this album is exactly what it needs to be, from the “glamour and the trauma and the fuckin' / Melodrama” to her whisper at the end of the album as the music crashes leaving her alone and tired and young, Lorde has created a masterpiece. I still ask myself, since the album has released, as I dance in dark lights crossfaded on friday evenings, surrounded by people...“What the fuck are perfect places, anyway?”

1. Khalid // American Teen

I’ll be real; this album may not have been as poignant as DAMN., as universal as Melodrama, or as listenable as Ctrl, but the moment this album was released in May, from the ending chorus of the opening and titular track “American Teen” sung by Khalid’s friends, to his smooth voice over a single piano at the end of “Angels”, I knew Khalid had my album of the year. Heartbreak, frustration, independent and lack of it, struggle, peer pressure and over it all, Khalid’s molasses voice singing over the release of (in my opinion) one of the best r&b albums I’ve heard, this album is universal. Every teenager has been where Khalid has been; trying to hide the smell of marijuana in his car from his parents (“8TEEN”) to losing hope when we thought we could make it through the hardest part (“Winter”), to the heartbreak of young love (“Another Sad Love Song”) we’ve been there. I listened to this album a gajillion times this year. I may not be a teenager anymore, but I’m about to graduate from college and be an adult. It’s a little terrifying. And if a 19 year old can make it through that process of independence (and then go on to release an exceptional album), then damn it, I can make it through too.
