Having the Adam and Caleb playlists on my phone is the BEST (I’m an Apple Music user). Listening to them really makes you feel all of the emotions in the best way (even the sadder songs). I highly recommend checking them out!!!💚😇
I have also attached links from The Bright Sessions website that lists all of the songs from each playlist if you want to listen to them too (including all of the other characters too!)
Bright sessions holds a super special place in my heart, and I can't believe it's been over two years since I first listened to it :(,,,, Additionally, Adam and Caleb changed my brain chemistry, I can't explain the feelings I felt when I finished the College Tapes😭I love all of them dearly <33(Even Damien...he makes me sad though) I want to put more bright sessions art after finals too agghhhh
I occasionally see posts/get messages about the various harry potter references in the bright sessions, etc. and I've gotten a bunch of new followers recently so just so any new/younger listeners of my shows know:
jk rowling is a terrible transphobe whom I hold zero respect for and I haven't given a dime of my money to her since she revealed who she truly is. I want the whole bright universe to be a safe space for trans people (including the trans folks in our cast and crew!) and if I could go back and remove those references, I would. but I can't! harry potter was an extremely significant part of my life until...well, until it became very clear who she really was. it makes me so sad to think that folks might be finding TBS now and get thrown out of the story by these references, but just know that the people who made the show do not stand by jk, and that in many ways, the show is a product of its time.
nothing is quite as satisfying as picking up a new piece of media and picking 2 characters of the same gender and jokingly shipping them, picking out tiny moments to read too much into, and as the story progresses it slowly goes from 'this is a joke that i know will not become canon' to 'this is a joke but there's a likelihood' to 'god god god pleaseee i almost don't dare to hope' to 'theres no fucking way im reading into this now' and then they kiss. like
caleb michaels makes me crazy literally every single time i listen to college tapes and i love him so much but he has so much trauma and isn't talking to anyone and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love caleb so much. dr bright is like “yk it’s okay to be asexual, or aromantic and-“ and he’s like “yeah of course I know that bitch people are just overwhelming as fuck leave me alone”
just realized I never posted my bright sessions tattoo here!!! art by me, characters by the incredible @thelaurenshippen and handwriting by the amazing @briggonsnow
"we were in different classes on opposite ends of the building and all of a sudden i got punched in the stomach with like, this pure joy. and i knew it was him. the moment the bell rang i went to find him, and it took like two seconds because i just followed the feeling and there he was with this like, stupid huge smile on his face. i've only ever felt him that psyched maybe like, once." "when was that?" "our first kiss."
