Thank you @startrekfangirl2233 for the tag, this was really fun.

January: Villain-K/DA, Madison Beer, Kim Petras, League of Legends

Straight up villain, straight up villain Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling I'm alive, but I'm dead Hear my voice up in your head Watch it fill you full of dread 'Til you go pow

February: Electric Touch(Taylor’s Version)- Taylor Swift ft. F.O.B.

I’ve got my money on things going badly, Got a history of stories ending sadly, Still hoping that the fire won’t burn me, Just one time, just one time All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

March: I Did Something Bad-Taylor Swift

I can feel the flames on my skin Crimson red paint on my lips If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming They say I did something bad Then why's it feel so good? They say I did something bad But why's it feel so good? Most fun I ever had And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could It just felt so good, good

April: Little Girl Gone- CHINCHILLA

Wow You're so fuckin' stupid Been a while since my head was this polluted Lucky I know my own worth … Little girl gone, got a gun from a gangster Run little girl, run little girl, bang, ha Say that again, I didn't quite hear ya Messed with the wrong bitch in the wrong era I been at work and I got my badge of honour Honey, I've changed so much since I last saw you

May: Last Night-Morgan Wallen

No way it was the last night that we break up I see your tail lights in the dust You call your momma, I call your bluff In the middle of the night, pull it right back up Yeah, my, my friends say, "Let her go" Your friends say, "What the hell?" I wouldn't trade your kind of love for nothin' else

June: Heartless-The Weeknd

'Cause I'm heartless And I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless All this money and this pain got me heartless Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless Said I'm heartless Tryna be a better man but I'm heartless Never be a wedding plan for the heartless Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless (heartless)

July: Monsters-All Time Low ft. Demi Lovato and blackbear

Thinking about you, you're in my head Even without you, I still feel dead Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life? Dead, thinking about you, you're in my head Even without you, I still feel dead Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?

August: My Type(Little Attitude)-Bryce Savage

And she's an earth sign, she likes wine Got me grounded like it's worth time, so fine She likes sippin' 'til the sunrise, all night She likes energy and sunlight and good times, uh And she dress in all black, she likes that I have an arm covered in all tats, we drive fast Listen to the songs from our past on full blast Never looking back, she likes that, oh, she likes that

September: Main Attraction-Jeremy Renner

Roaming through the city like the track of time The freedom is mine Riding the lines You know how I like it, yeah Pedal to the medal, I'm your soldier We can take it for miles And let it all wild Just how I like it

October: Hate Me-Ellie Goulding, Juice WRLD

Hate me, hate me, tell me how you hate me Tell me how I'm trash and you could easily replace me Tell me that I'm strung out, wasted on the daily Prolly 'cause there's no one around me numbin' all my pain Prolly 'cause there's no umbrella to shield me from all the rain Probably because you're the one playin' the mind games You hate me because I don't let you play no mind games They give me migraines and damage my brain Date me, break me, easily replace me Hopefully you see it clear, hopefully it's HD Bet you wonder why the last few months I've been spacey In your head, I sing

November: @ my worst- blackbear

Don't try to call, do not disturb, I do not want to speak This is the end, demons are friends, angels are enemies I'm just a fool, stuck in the past, your worst memories I'm not ready for you to forget me

December: Villain Era-Bryce Savage

She's in her villain era, chapstick on with dark mascara You better send a prayer up, hoping that she'll maybe spare ya She's in her villain era, chapstick on with dark mascara You better send a prayer up, hoping that she'll maybe spare ya (Spare ya)

Well Spotify really said we gonna be in the villain era.

weird question but what are your top 5 fav albums?

Heyo! This isn't weird at all friend :3 Thanks for asking!

I'm gonna be real with you- it's rare I find a full album that gets me hooked from start to finish. I'm a shuffle queen- whatever song come on that's my jam lols. Still- there are a few albums I've been attached too recently :3

(No particular order cause I can't rate them lols)

1.) Rise Of The Monarch- Amalee: I adore her music- her original stuff is gorgeous and her anime song covers are some of my long time favorites. I love the Villain Era vibes the songs carry, plus I'm an absolute sucker for royal monarchy stories with an evil twist lols.

2.) Portals- Melanie Martinez: Another long time fave- I really love the forest nymph theme to all the songs and how everything connects to one another (each song leads to the next with the last song leading to the first). Lowkey created my Demon!sona while jamming out to this album lols.

3.) Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent - Lewis Capaldi: For a while I've been a casual listener to his music, I really love Before You Go and Somebody You Love- Lewis' voice is incredible; but this album? God I can't stop listening to it. From the first song all the way to the orchestra versions of Burning and How I'm Feeling Now I can listen to this album again and again karejkarjkej

4.) Kizuna No Kiseki/Koi Kogare EP- MAN WITH A MISSION & Milet: This is absolutely cheating and I don't care- I just adore the opening and endings of this most recent Demon Slayer season. I loved the others but these two? I listen to them on repeat the most. Koi Kogare being Mitsuri's theme song too is especially wonderful; she's my fave and deserves the world lols.

5.) So Much (For) Stardust- Fallout Boy: Admittedly I wasn't that into Fall Out Boy during their "This Aint A Scene" era but I was convinced to listen to their newest album by tik tok and now here we are. I really love the songs in this one, my favorites being Fake Out and So Much For Stardust- really they're all great.

These are the most immediate albums that have been popping up on my playlist recently- really I like a little of everything, so this could all change in a few short weeks lols. There's a few honorable mentions (-: Ed Sheeran, Endless Summer Vacation- Miley Cyrus, REAL-Tasuku Hatanaka, etc etc) but like I said most of the time I put my playlist on shuffle and see what comes up :3

Thanks for asking! :D

#squiggily speaks #ask #anon #music talks #favorite albums #I can't say these are cemented cause they will change #but generally speaking I come back to these the most lately #I like these questions :3

Guide To Political World Building

This is also available on wordsnstuffblog.com!

– This is a subject that I see brought up a lot in book reviews by readers, but not very often when it comes to the writing community. I decided to search the internet and my own experience for as many tips and as much advice as I could find to put in one place for you all. I also addressed a lot questions (in fact, more than usual because I know this is a weak point for most fiction authors) in the common struggles section. I hope this is useful to those of you who have a lot of trouble finding help on this. It should help me as well because I’m in the middle of tackling it for my own series. Happy writing!

Know What Details Are Important

Not all aspects of a political system in a fictional universe are important to the story-telling, especially when the story is more character or plot driven, rather than driven by the world building. It’s important to deliver relevant information to your reader in pieces, and at a pace that enhances their understanding of events and meaning rather than their knowledge of trivial details.

Know Your Demographic & Your Genre

For certain genres and age-demographics, your world building in the area of political systems and implications should be matured or simplified. The majority of your readership should be able to understand what’s going on, and the way you makes sure of that is know who you’re writing the story for. Certain genres also require a lot less complicated detail in political world building. For instance, YA romance should have less political world building than, say, adult fantasy. Sure, maybe in the case of writing a YA romance, there could require some, but definitely not as in-depth as that of the latter.

Choose A Model to Alter

If you’re going to do it, especially as a beginner, you need to pick some form of inspiration or something similar to what you’re going for. There are so many governmental systems out there that already exist, and if you should research plenty of them and them mix and match, add and subtract, and twist until you have something that serves your story.

Think of The Implications of Details

Every detail that you make prominent in the reader’s mind should be thought out in terms of the implications. Ask yourself how this affects different groups of people, how it’s evolved over time, what it means for the system as a whole, etc. This will make your story more three-dimensional in the reader’s mind.

Find Issues in Power Distribution

Most government tension (throughout history, at least) has come from inequality in the distribution of power. Whether it be between races, classes, branches of government, figures in politics, or groups of people with different opinions, or all of the above combined, most issues stem from the struggle for power, control, and influence over others. Explore this and find new ways to think of how this could be interpreted from your story.

Think of Culture’s Impact on Politics

Culture has a major hand in how politics works. A society’s values, religious majorities and minorities, gender roles, environment, what an average citizen looks like, how citizens are expected to look, act, use their time, etc. These things all impact political situation and how it changes over time with culture, so explore this heavily.

Common Struggles

-- The common struggles section of my “guide to__” posts are general questions sent in by readers on the topic at hand. If you have a question that has not been addressed thus far, you’ll probably find the answer in this section. As always, you’re welcome to send other questions to my inbox if you don’t find the answer in this post. --

~ How do I illustrate the evolution of a society’s politics?... I would choose a few major events and make the causation behind them more prominent than the actual events themselves. History repeats itself, and that’s very important in political foreshadowing and often how a society deals with political situations.

~ How do I write conversations about my world’s politics?... It depends on the tone of these conversations. The way casual conversations about politics are written can tell the reader a lot about your world’s political climate, and can be a very useful device. Heated conversations can be useful in showing different passionate sides of a political issue in your world. I would say, write them carefully and with intention.

~ How do I make the reader invested/interested in the world’s politics?... Show the reader why they should care, make them relate to it, and then make them relate your story to their reality. You have to use literary devices as well. Show, don’t tell works really well here. Don’t show the main character reflecting that the conflicts at the war front are bad. Show the war front. Show the severity. Make them feel the heavy emotions of the people. Show them the real stakes of the political decisions being dealt with in the story.

~ How do I create believable racial tensions?... Again, just mirror reality. Understand why racial tensions exist and mirror that in your story’s context. Racial tension is majorly caused by fear, prejudice, and response to the “other side”. It’s often a long, ongoing battle because it’s rooted in the way people are raised and the constant environment around them. Racism is taught, so show it’s bigger, more outstanding moments, as well as its less prominent ones. No political issue arises exclusively from large, explosive moments. It’s made up of a few big ones, notable ones, and then the many, millions of little contributing moments and factors.

~ How do I write reasonable opposition groups?... You’re the author, so you have the unique opportunity of setting the reader up to see the reasoning behind both or all sides. You can show the evidence and logic behind each one, and make the reader understand why each side believes what they believe, and the personal engagement that leads each side to fight so hard.

~ How do I connect a caste system to political tension?... Political tension within caste systems are commonly caused by people’s natural desire for power and control, which leads to dissatisfaction in cases of being on the less fortunate side of inequality. Caste systems are also typically a pyramid, which means there’s more of the underdogs. These things combine to create political storms because on one side you have few people and lots of power that add up to just a bit more than a lot of people with less power individually, but more when pooled.

~ How to I create a corrupt government without too many clichés?... The most cliché thing about typical corrupt governments is the one-dimensional evil figures that lead to corruption. Very few authors explore what leads a human who’s only job is to protect the people to turn against them. Explore their motivations and their personal struggle and justifications and you’ll have a more interesting and impactful corrupt government.

~ How do I illustrate a positive government that doesn’t come off as suspicious?... Work hard on perfecting tone, be very careful with what could be interpreted as foreshadowing, and show genuine goodness in not only the government’s words and actions, but actual results. Show your government talking the talk, and then walking the walk.

~ How do I set up the climax of a political issue?... Show the slow burn, and then the inciting events that set off the inevitable explosion. You need to establish to the reader that something is going to happen no matter what, but make the actual consequence and its place in time a surprise.

~ How do I develop a governmental system from the ground up for the sake of the plot itself?... As I said in a previous point, use a model or several to take inspiration from. In the case of world building being the centre of your story, build your world and your plot together so they complement one another.
