ive been hesitating to ask this bc youve been on a roll with the clone^2au (which i am frothing over) but could i poke you for some childhood friend au? bc GOD i wanna see how danny reacts to reuniting w jason or how the rest of the batfam react to learning jason never told danny of his resurrection or wondering if dannys gonna put jokers dead body on a display/offering to jasons grave. i havent been normal about this since i first read it and was wondering. thank you for your writing.

RAAAAHHHH DON'T BE HESITANT I AM JUST AS FERAL OVER MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AU AS I AM WITH CLONE^2 I AM DELIGHTED BY THIS. Like.,,,, i literally love them,,, so much. I can't listen to The Crane Wives without thinking of them.

(which is my fault - the ao3 fic of them has literally only crane wives lyrics for each chapter title and summary (posted AND the ones not written) so of course im gonna associate with them.)

(if you wanna listen to some of their songs while thinking of cfau here are my recommendations: "Once & for All", "Here I Am", "Hollow Moon" is a Danny AND Jason song to me, this would be my go-to song for an animatic of CFAU if i had the skills for it. "Tongues and Teeth", "Curses" and "take me to war" is a heavy cfau danny song to me, and of course, "the moon will sing")

Like they're BEST friends dude, they're two sides of the same coin and when they were kids they would do this thing where their 'fingers crossed'/'double-crossed' was them hooking their index fingers in the fingers crossed gesture.

and i'm actually currently rewriting my original post into a more fic-like format, and when I'm done I'll post it on here under the cfau tag - with the original post still in tact. But its,,, gonna be so long dude,,,, the original behemoth was just over 9000 words,,, and I've written 3k words already of the new one and we haven't even reached Jason and Danny reuniting at the gala yet,,, i need to get back to that,,,

and then to answer your questions!! god im almost hesitant to answer because i dont wanna spoil the little fic i had planned for it but also like,, its not like im gonna spoil everything, right? and answering the questions isnt the same as writing the scene down so!!

i love danny and jason's reuniting, like i've thought about it SO much and I've thought about it happening after Danny kills the Joker. I know the reveal could have been before that, and it could have been equally just as dramatic but like??? Thematically, doing it after danny kills the joker is SO good. To me at least.

Because like?? Jason's been in somewhat denial about danny's plan to kill the joker for months. ever since danny told him that he wanted to at the gala. And from Jason's pov its not even technically a plan. He sees his best friend for the first time after five years and his best friend still isn't over his death. He hasn't stepped foot in Gotham since his funeral and now suddenly he's here.

And he's still so full of grief over his death that he tells a masked vigilante that he's going to kill the guy that did it, who lives in said masked vigilante's city. And danny's got that look in his eyes that Jason knows so well that means he's being serious. And yet he still doesn't know if he should believe him or not.

And then he does. Danny kills him. And Jason can't fucking believe it. And when he goes and sees Danny, Danny's hands are still covered in blood. And that reunion? God like a fucking firework show. Danny's so fucking angry, and pissed, and hurt, and so goddamn overjoyed that he's alive and here that he sends them both to the ground, and if he doesn't calm down he's gonna take out the power in a five block radius.

there's just so, so much yelling on Danny's end. And then so much crying, first from Danny and then them both. because god, you're alive. you're here. i've missed you so much. i'm never letting you out of my sights again.

and Joker's death! God I don't want to actually say too much about that, but the way I have it set up thematically makes me actually not want danny to take any part of the joker with him as an offering. and he may actually forego that particular ghost etiquette and offer something else as an offering to Jason in substitute to not bringing him the Joker's heart/head/ritualistic body part.

Because you know what the last thing a man whose been spending the last two decades of his life building himself up to be larger than life would want? A death that's unremarkable. :) and that's all i'll put on the matter for now.

and the batfam!! they technically already know that jason hasn't told danny he was resurrected, and plenty of them have mixed feelings on them. largely bruce and dick i think, considering they saw firsthand how close jason and danny were when they were kids.

Dick was honestly surprised at first when he found out that Jason hadn't told Danny he was alive - and on one hand he understands the reasoning for it, and on the other hand he isn't sure if it was such a good idea. Especially after he sees Danny again after he arrives back in Gotham and sees just how badly Jason's death was still affecting him. But it's not like he's going to try and convince Jason to tell him - he can make his own choices, even if Dick has questions about them.

Bruce has much the same thoughts as Dick, so there's not really much to add here other than he might bring it up once or twice to Jason like, vaguely. And then immediately drops it when Jason shuts him down. He might actually somewhat...?? prefer that Jason hasn't told Danny because that raises a lot of questions and could jeopardize their identities. However, again, Jason can make his own choices and there's not much Bruce can do about it other than disapprove from afar.

Tim who knew of Danny from stalking the Wayne family shares similars sentiments of being surprised that Jason didn't tell Danny, but again, yeah, understands the thought process to some extent. Doesn't bring it up ever.

Everyone else who hadn't seen firsthand how close Danny and Jason are don't really have much opinion on it -- Jason didn't tell his best friend he was alive, great, he also didn't tell them either so it's not like its that much of a surprise. It would've been more of a surprise to them if Jason had told Danny before he told Bruce and co. Damian may make a comment or two about Jason not telling Danny, but its not about how he can't believe he didn't tell him or anything like it.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #danny fenton is not the ghost king #cfau #childhood friends au #danny and jason are such best friends i love them so much #BUT YEAH ASK ME MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT CFAU I'LL SCREAM #AND THEN TRY AND ANSWER THEM TO MY BEST ABILITY #like i could go on RANTS almost SPECIFICALLY about rath (dan) and then about jason and danny #and their friendship like i've thought about this au with a combined soulmate au and immediately hated the idea because no!#no! i can't call them soulmates. i can't it doesnt fit. their bond goes DEEPER than that. its *better* than that #this wasn't written in the stars it was forged in the back alley streets of gotham with all the broken glass under their feet #and the smell of nicotine weaving itself into the fabrics of their shirts. their souls aren't intertwined because the universe said so #they're two balls of yarn tangled together because they batted it at each other and decided to play cats cradle. and then never bothered #to untangle the string from one another. you'll never know where one ends and the other begins #i actually have a cfau miscellaneous facts post in my drafts that i need to finish too and i might do that today because of this ask <33 #the fastest way to starry's heart is through her ask box #asking me questions about my aus is the fastest way to make me make more content about them ajshld #see: clone^2 (i've been coasting off the fanart i got from them for the last two days) and now this #i need to stop more before i start waxing more poetic about jason and danny's bond with one another.#also also jason is equally as feral about danny as danny is about him (see: him plotting joker's demise since he was 14) its just not #showing as much since a lot of this is from danny's pov. like dw this isn't one-sided obsession its mutual.#see: jason seeing danny's scars and immediately wanting to find out who caused it and getting murderously angry about it #its not a starry post unless its long #idk maybe im just obsessed with the idea that relationships are chosen and forged with time and that the bonds we have arent because they #were predetermined but because we made them to be. Like how clone^2 said 'i choose to be brothers' and how danny and jason said #'i choose you. i will always choose you. you're my other half. the one who watches my back. i choose you.'

What made you say taylor was a little crazy for the peace lyrics? Ive always felt I was missing some meaning from that song, maybe because I am not a native english speaker? Idk

when i posted that it was just because they were really resonating for me personally in that moment, so nothing analysis-related, really! i just think the way she captures feeling like you've come into adulthood (in the text of the song, 'coming of age' can be taken as both the honeymoon phase of the relationship and the people in it growing up individually) and looking around to find all these regrets (i never had the courage of my convictions) you have bc of not acting out of anxiety and insecurity (or, if you're taylor, this combined with the hint of legitimate actual danger being with you brings to people) to be so simplisticly profound.

but generally, i just find the themes so touching and compelling...like the song is about how bringing peace to your love is impossible because of the ups and downs of your life, but you are willing to give them everything anyway. like that beautiful declaration of surrender to someone you love just makes me want to scream/cry/throw up/etc. i think, in many ways, the feelings of not being enough, or of being unable to find peace are deeply human. and the hook being a question (would it be enough if i could never give you peace?) is so cool because it leaves the answer kind of open-ended to the listener? like, in taylor's life at the time that song came out it was clear that the answer was 'yes' and now it is clear that the answer was 'no' for that particular partner. i think that tug and pull of the yes/no answer kind of puts the lister into that anxiety, almost? also, the way the lyrics are sung is also kind of melodically/rhythmically fluid, and i think the conversational associations of using a question really add to that vibe. anyway, i just wrote you an essay, but as u can tell this is one of my favorite songs ever and i just love everything about it :)

#happy to explain/analyze line by line if u want too!#idk how much additional insight i can bring but i am happy to try 🫡#ask

Sorry for the ramble in your inbox incoming- I'm a really huge fan of your analysis type posts like the ones about Cathal and recently Flint ;A; So I hope its ok to maybe throw in my own 2 cents about Cogs/their society- (Sorry this gets rambly I thought about this last night and writing this like an hour after waking up lol)

I think what alot of people kind of (I wouldnt say ignore- more of:) don't really get is that I dont believe characters like Cathal or Flint have bad tendencies because they really want to in a way, (I kind of worded that poorly but point is) but because their society rewards and encourages that type of behavior. I think you said something kind of similar on Cathals post- But especially for Flint, whose a Bossbot (Who are literally the embodiment of a toxic workplace and elitism. I believe a old snippet from the TTO magazines says "They have no real skills of their own, just the ability to push down others and stay on top!" Or something to that nature.) he has to be demanding and imposing. There is no benefit to him in being kind. (Like looking at Misty for example) And don't get me wrong I don't believe that if Flint and Cathal were removed from Cog society they'd be better/objectively nicer (Like Flint not being condescending to Toons and Cathal not making people do things for him and being encouraged to try) But I do wonder how much of it is pressure, or how much of it is egged on and rewarded. Atleast in the aspects it relates to how they treat others.

(..And also I wonder what happens to Cogs that don't get jobs and are seen as ..not functioning. Since Graham was freaking the hell out in "Meeting Of Two Minds" over the possibility of not getting the job. I have a whole thing about this actually in my oc lore but thats another thing entirely I'll write about someday I swear)

Also I gasped when I saw the doodle of Graham in the MSI shirt finally a MSI listener Graham truther. I think he'd like the album "How I Learned To" and of course "You'll Rebel To Anything". I associate him mainly with the songs "Lights Out", "On It", and "You're No Fun Anymore" :p (This has been my favorite band since I was like 13 and now I get to spill all my opinions xD) I always imagined him doing the guitar backbend their bassist does! And my final hc is that Flint plays bass and Graham plays the main guitar. I think it fits them .. some people overlook bass when its actually pretty hard to learn from what I hear and vital to the song. (Like heres Feel Good Inc w/o the bass.. feels wrong x_x)

Anyways thanks for reading ;A; take care and happy new year!

RAHHHH EATING THIS UP YUM YUM YUM YES YES YOU GET IT

THe biggest issue with Cogs Inc is that it REWARDS and ENCOURAGES these poor behaviors, worsening these characters as people. ESPECIALLY cathal considering the position of power they’re in. I’m sure it applies to a ton of other cogs too, but unfortunately I haven’t gotten to them yet bc I’m not as insane abt them . LMAO

And yeah since cogs are literally built for work, it’s a wonder what happens to those who can’t find a job as easily as others. Hoping that gets built on since it’s clear in MOTM that these cogs have to actually apply and go to interviews and probably face some trial and error to land a job, just like people IRL.

ALSO. THE BAND HCS. I love it and you’re SOOOO RIGHT about the backbend that is so grahamcore. And yes I’m pretty sure Flint does play bass, I think his creator mailman said smth abt that on their blog . AND IM SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP FEEL GOOD INC bc i did draw flint in a demon days shirt in that same animatic . And ive def drawn them in the same shirt a couple times in the past too . I’ve always imagined him to be a Gorillaz fan, maybe graham too

Anyway ty for these thoughts im eating them up and leaving no crumbs . I love when ppl come to ramble in my inbox bc discussing this stuff IS SO FUN and a good outlet for me esp when i might be having art burnout rn .

Shin Megami Tensei IV has my favorite videogame soundtrack of all time

Heavy Spoilers for Shin Megami Tensei IV ahead, proceed only if you have beat the game.

"hi! this essay was in my draft for almost an year left unfinished so......I decided to post it without finishing it completely because I think it's pretty good and I want people to see it already lol. I may write a continuation for this analysis in the future bc I still want to conclude my thoughts but for now I hope u like it!" -elise realizing she left this in her drafts

It was long overdue that I wanted to talk about the music in this game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV’s soundtrack was a huge surprise to me – such as the game itself. It is initially presented as a more medieval-like world, set in the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, which it didn’t bother me initially, just didn’t surprised me at first glance – but when its true colors started to show up – I realized it was something special. It borrows from my particular impressions, I didn’t pay attention to the music initially, such as the ‘Main Theme’, and ‘Premonition’, only noticing about the more fitting tracks for the medieval world, such as ‘Aquila Statue Plaza’ and ‘K’s Tavern’. Although ‘Self’ was able to make me immersed on the intro sequence, but not exactly foreshadowing the iconic and unique mixture of futuristic technology with the occult aesthetic that the series is known for – and what I would find out about just later. My experience with the MegaTen series until that point was Persona 3, Persona 4, and a little bit of Devil Survivor – and as much as these games has some of its dark moments – Shin Megami Tensei IV surprised me, because I honestly didn’t knew anything about that game and mainline SMT in general, I wasn’t that much aware about the setting and aesthetic – I only knew about the Order and Chaos philosophical conflict. I was initially playing the game as just one more regular medieval RPG – that unawareness really helped me to being immersed on what would come after.

The musical tension of facing a Boss

The end of the first chapter with Issachar and the Minotaur shown me the first impression of one of its unique aspects; the Boss Themes. Both Battle B1, the Mid-Boss Theme, and Battle B2, the Major-Boss Theme, just caught me completely off-guard, feeling dangerous, futuristic sounding-like, and at first glance; uncomfortable. Most things until that point presented the game with a specific aesthetic, and then had a tonal shift for me. As much as the game foreshadowed its more futuristic tech-based stuff, such as the AI Burroughs, I didn’t actually realized it, the game still didn’t caught my attention that much yet. When I listened to Battle B1 – I was, no joke – SUPER scared, as much as this sounds funny. The tone of the story at this point was already making me realize its true colors, I was completely set on the mood, so when the revelation of Issachar happened, I was feeling so, SO uncomfortable, and I loved it. At the time, I was playing the game on my Nintendo 3DS at a bus trip, at 3AM with everyone sleeping, everything but my 3DS’ screen was pitch black, and my headphones on a fairly good volume.

As much as I liked the regular battle themes, Battle B1 had a lot of elements that were able to perfectly fit the atmosphere of facing a demonic entity, and, in that specifically on that moment, someone that was once your best friend. The song is composed on a minor key, associated with melancholy, sorrow, but in that case, danger and urgency. The instrument that composes the melody on the intro is a Chime, in a fairly low octave, which is something not expected when using this instrument, making it sound eerie and uncanny. Right after followed by a saw-wave synthesizer on the main melody, the synth itself isn’t uncanny, but yet fierce, the melody itself ends up takes the role on making it sound imposing and eerie. Then a 303 sounding-like Synth steals the show on the main melody, people often call it ‘boing-boing’, which is quite fitting for how it sounds, that sound makes the song feel otherworldly, and again, really uncanny. The very last section takes everything back to the saw-wave synth, but now on a very slow, but imposing chord. Then the loop ends.

It has lots of things that I love about music, such as heavily Synth-based instruments, evoking both a retro style and a really amazing ambience to the streets of that post-apocalyptic Tokyo. With that said, what I loved the most about that soundtrack is that it had such a consistent identity of its own, with at the same time being so diverse, it manages to be both catchy, and musically complex in a way that I really admire, with simple compositions, but really creative and unique arrangements, made with a very wide range of different Synths and electronic instruments in general.

CONTINUES IN PART 2.......SOMEDAY........I GUESS...........SORRY

17 and 31 for sparrow for the random character ask game :)

HEHEHE ill do the tumblr one first bc its shorter. i think she definitely had one as a teenager after everything and had one of those really awful to look like neon gif backgrounds and a funny wolf image and then the actual content she posted would be so depressing 😭 once someone goes like oh my god were you [insert tumblr user. probably w0lfl-v3r or something similar) and she blocks them

asking me abt things i associate with sparrow is so dangerous because ill listen to anything and be like hollyyyy shit sparrow moment and it 100 percent is not. but here are some song lyrics i associate with her (codependency by orla gartland, microwave dinner by petey, and weight of lies by the avett brothers)

you already know some of the others ie not strong enough boygenius and well better than the alternative will wood. for writings I actually associate her a lot with frankenstein oddly? something about a creature being made out of love and seen as a monster. i have a Lot of poetry saved actually ive written my own based on her 😭 but i think a lot about ocean vuongs writings in parallel to her if you wanted to read some wonderful writings. i need to make another web weave soon shes just in my brain 24/7

Is it bad that like—if she doubles down on all this and tries to justify it I’ll quit listening to her music; of course I will.

But I don’t want to have to do that. I’ve been listening to her since elementary school, and up until this point she’s been the only artist I grew up with who hadn’t done/condoned anything horrible. (I’m still shocked by what Demi confessed to a few years back and the way that was played off.)

I want Taylor to dump him and address this because it’d be the right thing to do. But it’s also because I just want one artist I liked growing up to not be terrible.

to put it plainly, this fucking sucks. i don't want to stop listening to her music either. i relate to a lot of it and i also grew up listening to her. i think im especially disappointed by all this bc of her seeming so dedicated to speaking out against injustice and it makes all of her "activism" seem performative. ive seen a lot of different posts floating around since this has all come to light, but the one that resonates with me the most is that she can't not know about all the shit he's said and done. she's obviously active online -- she knows about people thinking she hates evermore and the whole "mother is mothering" stuff, etc -- and while i think it's plausible that she's sent some of these things by members of her team, i find it so hard to believe that she's just totally unaware of all m*tty's bullshit. i literally never listened to the 1975 until i just saw them on snl maybe a few weeks ago and i liked a couple of the songs, but i remember hearing things over the years (I used to be suuuuper active in bandom #rip) about him just. not being a good person. i don't think i knew specifics, but it's why all of this coming out about him doesn't particularly surprise me, though it does disgust/horrify me. like i get her needing a rebound bc like. after 6 years with someone, that has to hurt?? and we have literally no idea what even happened between her and joe bc they were so private to begin with. so i understand that she's hurting and probably not in the best mental place, and while she's entitled to do what (and who) she wants, that doesn't mean im gonna just. sit by and not say anything about it? and this is so incredibly unlike 2016 when people were cancelling her left and right just bc theyd been foaming at the mouth for excuses to do so. im not even advocating to cancel her (still holding out hope that she addresses this somehow), but i am in favor of holding her accountable. i also understand the whole "separate the art from the artist" thing to an extent. who immediately comes to mind on that topic though is jk r*wling, who turned out to be essentially rhe biggest disappointment of my life. her views and beliefs have stained what she created, to the point where i don't even want to associate myself with hp despite having grown up with it and having it be a big part of my life. Im not to that point with Taylor's music (though I will say this has made me a lot less excited for my show next month), but I COMPLETELY understand what you're saying. Like why is it so much to ask for artists/celebrities in general to not be terrible people? Like even if she's not the one saying the things he's said, she's still with him and has said nothing about any of his statements. As a white person, I know that I'll never fully understand what it's like to be part of a victim of racism and that I cannot speak to what that's like. I have privilege in that regard. I have the ability to shrug my shoulders and say "That's not my problem" and move on. But I don't want to. I want to hold taylor accountable for all she's said and done to make us think she loves and supports her fans. But this has to feel so alienating for members of the groups m*tty's said shit about. We love Taylor and a lot of us look up to her and we want her to be happy. But this ain't it, not by a longshot.

#answered #anonymous #taylor swift #im sorry not sorry for the novel #i just have a lot of thoughts on this #and fair warning that i dont tolerate any kind of hate in my inbox #i delete that shit so dont bother if you feel so inclined

im sending this bc ive hit my post limit for the third time this week but every day i listen to Hozier's "It Will Come Back" and i think of it as garaks pov in the wire

oooh that's nice! love it. I heavily associate it with a different ship so it never occurred to me it could be a garashir song. Actually one Hozier song that gives me major still-on-ds9/pre-canon garashir vibes is Better Love! All of it but:

Staring into blackness at some distant star The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are To the wild and to the both of us I confessed a longing, I was dreaming of Some better love [...] I have never loved a darker blue Then the darkness I have known in you Honed from you [...] When our truth is burned from history By those who figure justice in fond memory Witness me

Like fire weeping from a cedar tree Know that my love would burn with me Or live eternally Short list of garashir songs with snippets/commentary you didn’t ask for but just gave me a wonderful excuse to share:

• Some Riot by Elbow. This is THEE The Wire song for me. The tone. The lyrics. It’s perfect. Excerpt:

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles They twist all around him until he can't move Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles What is my friend trying to prove?

• Starlings by Elbow. Also kind of freaky how garashiric this is both in tone and lyrics. Elbow have A WAY with words holy shit. I don’t want to spoil the whole effect of the song in case you don’t know it but here’s a couple passages and I can’t bring myself to pick just one:

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations? He'll have to go So, too, the bunch he luncheons with It's second on my list of things to do At the top is stopping by Your place of work and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I And marriage in an orange grove You are the only thing in any room you're ever in I'm stubborn, selfish and too old [...] Sit with me a while And let me listen to you talk about Your dreams and your obsessions I'll be quiet and confessional The violets explode inside me When I meet your eyes Then I'm spinning and I'm diving Like a cloud of starlings

• The Chain by Ingrid Michaelson for a sadder one. I think this works so well for an immediate post-canon scenario when both think they didn’t take their chance when they could and now they’re bittersweet and angsty about it, but despite all they’re still drawn to each other and deep down, hopeful.

The sky looks pissed The wind talks back My bones are shifting in my skin And you my love are gone [...] And if you come around again Then I will take the chain from off the door

• One Day Like This by Elbow. This is. GET OUT. This is later-stage garashir on Cardassia and then on to their horridly happy victorious little enjoined cottagecore life that makes my heart implode. Oh my god look at this

Drinking in the morning sun Blinking in the morning sun Shaking off a heavy one Yeah, heavy like a loaded gun What made me behave that way? Using words I never say I can only think it must be love Oh anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day Someone tell me how I feel It's silly wrong, but vivid right Oh, kiss me like a final meal Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight 'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes And only now I see the light Yeah, lying with you half awake Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

GET OUTTT

• انا بعشق البحر / Ana Ba’shaq Al Bahr (I Love the Sea) by Najat Al Saghira. ok LISTEN. When I heard this song in full I thought it sounded beautiful and then I read the lyrics and I cried regardless of garashir. It gets to me. But LISTEN. Garak found this in some old Earth archives. And when he heard it, his Cardassia feelings and his husband feelings tangled in a way that was a little too funny and it gave him a new illness of the mind. He listens to this in a daze on the floor and it makes him useless for the rest of the day. He babbles about #Cardassia and his beautiful space husband that came to live with him there. You’ll find slightly differing translations of course but here’s a snippet

I love the sky Because, like you, it's forgiving Sown with stars and joy A lover and a stranger And because, like you, it's distant And sometimes, like you, near, with eyes that sing I love the sky

This is such a cute idea! I’m addicted to making weirdly specific Spotify playlists so this is perfect. I have an ✨eclectic✨ music taste but my favorites are usually bedroom pop (mxmtoon, chloe moriondo, khai dreams, etc), romantic classical (think Debussy and Revel), and indie (although I like some Megan Thee Stallion, AC/DC, Nirvana, etc when I’m hyping myself up). As far as my personality goes, I’m pretty insightful and like to support people whenever I can, even if I don’t know them well. I can be a little chaotic sometimes, but I like to think it’s a chaotic good. I love tea, blankets, philosophy, deep conversations, the outdoors, and writing. I’m also an INFP and a Taurus :)

Sorry if that was too much, thank you so much! Take care of yourself and stay well

- Elle ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

( @snoozless ) you don’t understand how bad i want to be your friend. 😐😐 ok so you kind of get bonus 😀 but it rly might not be bonus because akfjakdkw. so, i gave you matsukawa!! but he’s not always like revered about so if u want a character lmk!! i am. in love w him tho. you’re so sweet you would balance him out and yall would be equally chaotic together.

he would have philosophical questions w u!! he might just be a little blunt & might accidentally cut the convo short, but he would listen to everything you said.

he’s used to a wide variety of music bc i’m convinced the seijoh playlists are absolutely fucking cracked like so loud. so he really could sit there and listen to anything. and i mean ANYTHING. like if you wanted to put on christian rock he’d awkwardly try to tap his foot on beat for you.

but, that doesn’t mean he’s gonna geek over you i feel like he’d be pretty private about the relationship. he’s not like secretive but he’s not gonna post you every two seconds yknow? he wouldnt put prom photos, but if yall went to look at the stars or go on a little hike he’d take a pic and youre wearing baggy sweats and one of his shirts and your hair isnt brushed for shit and it’s way too dark to properly make your face out and he’d put that shit on his main absolutely 😒

this man would be the kind of mf to look up his “crush’s” zodiac just for shits & giggles, so if he randomly knows a taurus fact, don’t question it<3 (he looked up your compatibility and he will take that to the grave)

issei is an infp idc. so yall got that in common.

he’s genuinely so pretty.

bc i took so long, i’m going to put descriptions for all the songs i love you thanks for requesting sorry for taking forever i’ll link the playlist and list the songs<3

1. silly girl- chloe moriondo

okay while this song is actually kinda sad, i think tHIS is pretty cute. issei comes off as this intimidating guy, and the more you get to know him the more you forget ab this idea of him you had or whatever? like the lyrics “i made him perfect, cause i wanted him to be” are really prominent in the point i’m tryna make because like even tho the lyric is obviously sad bitch shit, music is up for interpretation and this is like “hello ok he actually a real mf and shiiit maybe he cool😁✊”

2. nice boys- TEMPOREX

kinda sad. i don’t care how unemotional he might act, everyone has shit that brings them down. PLUS HES A PISCES THERES NO WAY HES NOT SAD SOMETIMES. this song just really taps into insecurities for him, and the song just gets under his skin in like a very therapeutic way. also “because he’s a pisces” some of his emotions are super intense so the “because he cares too much” line hits him fuckin hard

3. IV. sweatpants- childish gambino

this is some shit he listens to more with his team, absolutely. no doubt they blare this shit during weekly practice. but, he really really likes the song. so, when you’re hanging out and he has the aux? it’s one of the first ones he puts on. you two jam to it together. he’ll come up w dumb little dances to fit with certain lyrics (stole some of them from oikawa and hanamaki, but he won’t tell you)

4. you get me so high- the neighbourhood

okay unfortunately i must say him and hanamaki get fuckin faded in empty fields at two am all trashy like. but they make it look good idc. and if you smoke, cool, if you don’t he does not care. he always associated getting high with,,, getting high and everytime he listened to this song it just was one of his getting blazed jams, but now he’s got like a different kinda “euphoric” feel with loving you? like i said this bitch is a pisces even if he doesn’t overwhelm you with affection, he thinks ab you 24/7

5. 80’s makeout session- dacelynn

thIS SONG IS SO CUTE. but it’s p self explanatory. in love and also spare a kiss pls

6. can i call you tonight- dayglow

i feel like actually coming to terms with genuine feelings for someone would be kind of weird for issei. like no offense, but he sees it as kind of a pain in the ass. i genuinely think he would be someone to put his all into work or a task in front of him. he’s super intuitive, and constantly uses it to be better. whether it’s in volleyball or like cremating ppl i guess (HE WORKS INA FUNERAL HOME POST TIME SKIP IF U DIDNT KNOW). and it’s the same in relationships, but it’s also harder because he can’t have this complete clear head because you make his brain go kinda fuzzy. so, this song is like his little way of expressing that even tho he was like ‘internally conflicted’ this mf chose to go for it and that’s how much u mean to him

7. clair de lune, L. 32- claude debussy

i’m gonna be fucking honest with you. even though he’ll listen to anything, i really don’t think this man is looking up ‘classical romance study tunes’ playlists in his free time. he definitely enjoys the music, but that’s only if someone points it out to him. and he’s listened to you talk about it before, and watched you as you heard the piano and gauged your reactions and thought u were pretty cute he’s not gonna lie😼. so he definitely just looked up classical romance and picked the first recommended song and added it on there. he’ll dance w you a lil bit, but it wouldn’t be that quiet, intimate slow dancing in the dark you think would come w this song. itd just be a little sway as he hugs you from behind while you get water, or he twirls you once randomly with a laugh UGH I LOVE HIM

8. like real people do- hozier

ok. this one was fun for me. idc. double meaning lol. so this song is literally about two dead bodies in a bog and ,,, and he works in a funeral home PLS LMAOFJAJDJA I THINK THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY AND SO DOES HE. but also this song literally is my idea of love. this is my idea of love. and yall listen to it, with your stupid little death joke, but he looks at you and he’s just like ‘oh’. yknow? YKNOW?

9. BS- still woozy

like i said, i think he puts a lot into work. and he literally plays for a powerhouse school there’s no way he doesn’t practice a lot. so that means there’s a lot of time where he’s physically not there and definitely can’t text, because he’s trying to improve. and while he wouldn’t stop volleyball for someone else, he understands that you are like super amazing for being so Cool with him not being the most available. the song just reminds him of how compassionate you are and also he does miss u when he’s at practice YKNOW?

10. i <3 u- boy pablo

this one made me so fucking soft ew. ok. this song reminds him of you so so much. he’s totally okay being vulnerable with you? and even though he has pretty heightened emotions, he’s never felt like so strongly for smth other than like ??? volleyball and caring ab his siblings (BUT HE FEELS DIFFERENT FOR U THAN HE DOES FOR A VOLLEYBALL AND HIS SIBLINGS PLEASE😁). HE LUVVVVV YOU

11. heart-shaped box- nirvana

so many reasons. for one, simply fucking JAM. yall would scream this on a drive. if you ever got drunk together, this would be the first song you play. also, little lyrics remind you of each other. (the pisces lyric in the first and third verse, and even tho the flowers aren’t being used in a sweet sense in the song he does remember talking ab flowers w u, and now any flower is mentioned and he’s like “ah yes. my girlfriend.”)

12. pluto projector- rex orange county

FUCK. FUCK THIS SONG. GOD. NO. LIKE HE REALIZES HE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU WITH THIS SONG. HE T E L L S YOU HE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU WITH THIS SONG. the first time, he just sends you the name of it like ‘pluto projector <3’ and you listen and it’s so sweet and ur like ayo turn this shit up. and he adds it to your playlist, which definitely gets a smile from you. and then one night like two weeks later youre just laying together, and he’s running his fingers through his hair and he pulls away for a second to grab his phone and he turns the song on and you just listen to it in silence and it’s so fucking intimate. and he’s just like “i don’t think i’ve ever related to a song more” and you think he’s making a joke so you tell him to shut up (also jokingly) and he just laughs and it’s dark in his room and he’s playing with your hair again and he just goes “god, if you’re telling me to shut up over that i don’t even want to imagine how you’re gonna react when i tell you i love you” and it’s right around 3:10 in the song i’m literally so gone for him. bye you cry and try to hide it but he can tell HES PERCEPTIVE

13. i wanna be yours- arctic monkeys

okay for one, it’s a good song. it’s a song he absolutely let’s play in the background, just to cover the static lol. but also? ALSO? THE TITLE APPLIES TO YOU THE FUCK? it’s as if,,, he’s whipped,,

14. supermassive black hole- muse

hanamaki prolly showed him this song, and it’s one of his vibe songs. he will do falsetto while singing it if he’s in a really good mood and it just makes everyone laugh, including himself. it actually kind of grosses him out, because this song used to literally just be a song he would aimlessly go hard to but NOW his little bitch ass is like “you set my soul alight”? i guess i relate and “oh baby, i’m a fool for you” well, surely i’m not a fool but yea i get you muse sing it. it’s so gross. at this point he wants one thing that doesn’t make him think of you, just to prove that he’s not that gone, but he struggling

15. desperado- rhianna

i’m sorry to say it but this song makes him feel like a bad bitch LMAOOOOO. like if he’s ever getting pregame jitters or anything, he will just play this song. whether it’s on the speaker or in his headphones, he puts this shit on full volume and gets a lil too cocky LOL. this is also on the main seijoh playlist no doubt. he wants to share his bad bitch song w you, so you can aLSO feel like a bad bitch?? dUH

IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT BABES! IF YOU WANT ANY OF THE SONGS CHANGED (or even the character) LMK!! UR AMAZING ur so sweet it makes me ill

1. Favorite Song at the Moment

lazybaby by dove cameron

i dont....think i need to explain myself. the brainrot has been substantial and has lasted almost 3 months. as ive said in other posts, i already loved her music, but THIS. THIS is what ive been wanting all along and quite honestly puts all her other singles to shame. (which sounds harsh but i just really prefer upbeat stuff ok)

2. A Song You Associate With Your Favorite Ship

i feel it comin by the weeknd

for mosh. the line “you’ve been scared of love and what it did to you” is what first gave me the idea. im actually working on edit rn with them and this song and im continuing to see how well it fits them, bc its all about not fighting and taking the beginning of a relationship slowly, which is spot on for them.

3. A Song That Could Be About You

rite of spring by angels and airwaves

ok mostly the chorus bc the verses are very specific lol. but the chorus is spot on me, every word, which is rare for me.

4. A Song You Think is Overrated

drivers license by olivia rodrigo

lees gonna kill for this one lmao. maybe its not my kind of music but it really blindsided me when this blew up as fast as it did, particularly bc ive followed a number of other disney stars music careers who couldnt get that well known even after a few albums, let alone one single. i also am just territorial with my fandoms and to see all these random people become obsessed with her in a day when id been following her for significantly longer and was just brushed aside for it is annoying.

5. A Song That Reminds You Of A Good Memory

untouched by the veronicas

it was like 5am on july 29 2017 and id just gotten home from seeing dove in mamma mia a few hours prior and still riding that high. and i cant stress how much i mean riding that high. ive posted about it before so some of you have been subjected to these stories already fjhgkjfdgjd. i laid awake just in complete bliss for literal hours simply because id just had one of the best nights of my life. this song came on my dash and i reblogged it, thinking immediately how from then on, i’d associate it with that night. and i have. the next year was rough, getting hardly any new content out of dove after 4 years of constant content which left me v understimulated, but just listening to this song would rekindle my love for her.

6. The Last Song You Listened To

break this down by the cast of descendants 3

i was hanging out with one of my fellow disney-loving pals and put my disney playlist on shuffle as i usually do with him. i usually skip the disney channel stuff when i do that but obvs i wasnt gonna skip this.

7. A Song That Makes You Laugh

hot stuff by donna summer

inside joke with my best friend. just gonna leave it at that. have heard it twice in the same antique store over the last couple weeks and lost it both times.

8. A Song You Want Your Mutuals To Listen To

taste of you by rezz feat dove cameron

need i say more. we’ve come full circle my friends.

i tag @iorde @browncesario @superbatson

i don’t have a fancy name for it or anything but this is my kirishima playlist

I posted about my krbk playlist a little while ago but since it’s Boy Day I wanted to finally post about my solo Kirishima playlist too!! The only other thing I have to say is that I Love The Boy and that’s what this playlist is for :)

Spotify Link

song descriptions under the cut!

(bc of how i want to format the explanations, this list will be out of order with the actual playlist but that doesn’t actually matter that much!)

i. Teenage Icon - The Vaccines

“Oh look at me, so ordinary

No mystery with no great capabilities”

-I guess it’s pretty fitting to start the list off with a very Middle School Kirishima kinda song! Something I really love about this one is that it’s very steeped in this idea that “oh I’m not great, I’ve been blown up my whole life but I’m really nothing special, I should just stop pretending to be” but then the choruses and the bridge are so upbeat that it feels like it’s made peace with it! Maybe even like it’s celebrating it? Like, this isn’t wallowing in self hatred, it’s an anthem and I feel like it’s the kind of thing Kirishima would listen to in middle school and think “yeah, I’m not special, so what, who cares”

ii. Whatta Man - I.O.I

the one w the classic “whatta man whatta man whatta man” hook but a kpop song

-as kirishima is the only boy alive, this song talking about a very good man must be dedicated to him

-put in the ioi ver instead of the classic one bc i love girls

iii. Embers - Owl City

“And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light

And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die”

-Something you are gonna learn very quickly about me is that I Love Owl City

-A lot of Owl City songs are about overcoming hard times and facing forward and this one hits me more than a lot of other generic Encouraging Songs because “don’t let the fire die” feels like such a genuine sentiment, like more than “you’re a firework” or whatever because it encapsulates the idea of “this is your decision to make and something you’re gonna have to put in the effort but you can turn your life around, you don’t have to hate yourself, you can make the decision not to” which I feel is a very Kirishima sentiment

iv. I’m Gay - Bowling For Soup

“It sells records when you're sad these days, it's super cool to be mad these days -

I think rock and roll is really funny when it's serious”

-now. there is the very obvious meaning here

-But mostly this feels like a very Kirishima-ish song to me since it’s all about getting out of the “everything sucks and talking about that all the time makes you cool” mentality and not taking things so seriously, focusing on the positives and trying to make other people happy too!

v. I’ll Make a Man Out of You - Mulan

(picking a lyric to express kirishima in this one feels dumb when all you need to see this as a Him song is to imagine him belting it out)

-the 12 year old that still lives somewhere inside of me and spent hours watching videos w titles like Total Drama Character Theme Songs on youtube is Extremely proud of herself for this one

vi. The Squip Song - BMC

“Freshman year, I didn't have a girlfriend or a clue

I was a loser, just like you”

-Look the fact of it is this song has extreme Kirishima Energy and to convince you of that I could write a lot of stuff or I could just link you the animatic I made please watch it I worked very hard

-Lyrical content aside I think the funky guitar and the horns and the amount of screaming in this song are Very kirishima

vii. Fiji Water - Owl City

“If I only knew then what I know now, I’d stand like a one man band, and I’d say

‘All this is new to me, but here’s how it’s gonna be - there is more to me than meets the eye”

-owl city part 2! It’s about him seeing himself as a regular kid but getting called by a record label and flown out to talk about a record deal, and it’s cast in this light of “I didn’t see myself as much then and I was surprised it could all happen to me” but trying to make the most of it anyway, which reminds me a lot of Kirishima still doubting himself but getting to UA anyway

-The last line “I laughed when I got back home and I thought, ‘there’s no such thing as luck’” is my absolute favorite part of the song and when I imagine that as kirishima getting home after crushing the entrance exam and falling face-first onto his bed laughing...well! a bitch is soft!

viii. I Wanna Meet Richard Dreyfuss - Gabriel Gundacker (the guy who made the “you are my dad” vine)

“Hello, don’t mean to interrupt your flow

But I’ve got something you need to know, and it’s very specific, so here we go:

I wanna meet Richard Dreyfuss”

-This song is from an album dedicated to a fan’s process of wanting to meet, NEEDING to meet, giving up on, trying to forget about, (brief intermission about saddles as he forgets about), apologizing to, finally meeting, and saying a satisfied goodbye to Richard Dreyfuss and it’s one of my favorite albums of all time

-At first I just thought the song sounded pretty Kirishima in terms of earnest effort and slightly-soulful high notes but then someone sent me an ask like “WHY IS THE RICHARD DREYFUSS SONG ON YOUR KIRISHIMA PLAYLIST” and I realized it would totally make sense for Kirishima to write an entire album about wanting to meet Crimson Riot, so, checkmate

ix. Angel, Please - Ra Ra Riot

“Long as I feel I can tell the danger did it - oh, you guard yourself, you do

I wasn't hurt but I know you're the curse, I know you were”

-i am not gonna lie the first time i heard this song I just wanted so so badly to make it abt kirishima bc 1) album cover is red 2) band name has riot in it

-Anyway so after a month of listening to it w that mindset I can say pretty confidently that this song makes me think of Kirishima’s big fat crush on bkg so really it should be in the krbk playlist instead of this one but I do what I want

x. Beautiful Times - Owl City

“My heart's burning bad and it's turning black but I'm learning how to be stronger”

-Owl City part 3 :)

-This one is the most focused on the dark side of things and the “struggling through the depression” angle but I really do think the ending is a beautiful sentiment and that line up there reminds me of him

-I feel like...things never get easy right away and there’s always gonna be some doubt there no matter how good you feel, and the only thing we can do about that is to keep trying to make things better

Songs that are also in my krbk playlist which I wrote about here that I won’t describe at length again but that I mostly associate with Kirishima:

xi. Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede

xii. Kimi Janakya Dame Mitai - Masayoshi Oishi

xiii. Knock Three Times - Tony Orlando & Dawn

xiv. If You Wanna - The Vaccines

xv. Slayers - Matt Fishel (I do want to say that this one is a big one bc it literally feels like what Kirishima would come up with if he tried to write bkg a song)

xvi. I’m Totally Obsessed With Him - Matt Fishel

xvii. Television/So Far So Good - Rex Orange County

xviii. Mamma Mia - ABBA

Aaaand, songs that all remind me of Kirishima just because they’re bops filled with loud, boisterous, cheerful, and at times comedic Kirishima Energy:

xix. Young Volcanoes - Fall Out Boy

xx. Flyers - Bradio

xxi. Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen

xxii. Mr. Brightside - The Killers

xxiii. Sincerely Me - Dear Evan Hansen

xxiv. Uptown Funk - Bruno Mars

#hello......im love him and that's all i have to say #i've been adding things to this playlist for the past few months and i've wanted to talk about it for a while so ! here it is #i've definitely linked it before and there's not as much to talk abt as on the krbk list but! it's made w love #thoughts #e2019 #playlists

Favorite Flans Songs!!!

Hi!! I apologize in advance for the length of this submission bc it was v hard to narrow down this list fgadgsdf. I have a few categories I’ve split the songs up into which are: top tier, bangers, funky, and misc. for the songs I couldn’t really choose a category for, so some of those might also fall into the other categories. Also the songs I’ve chosen are in no particular order. Note: I don’t have commentary for every song.

TOP TIER

Another First Kiss - This is hands down my favorite tmbg love song, tied with Ampersand. I’ll sheepishly admit both of these songs bring out the hopeless romantic in me and not to get sappy on main but it makes me want to find a love I can associate these songs with someday.

Ampersand - See above dfgsdfsdf

Sometimes a Lonely Way - I think this is a flawless song! It gives me chills every time I listen to it and it evokes some sort of nostalgic comfort in me. It’s overall a beautiful track and so is the official video that goes with it.

Good to be Alive - This song gives me a new perspective on existence and forces me to think about mortality. I find myself appreciating life a little bit more every time I listen to it. It’s hopeful.

Snowball in Hell - Lovely arrangement and lovely vocals. I think Flans’ vocals really come through on all the tracks he sings on Lincoln, but especially on this track, as well as The World’s Address and Lie Still, Little Bottle.

Reprehensible - vocals vocals vocals and lovely instrumental arrangement!!!

Extra Savoir Faire - How many times do I have to say “vocals” to show my appreciation for Flans’ range dfhdfhdfhf. his voice is A++ in this song and his falsetto takes me OUT.

The World’s Address - see above :)

Lie Still, Little Bottle - see above :)

I’m A Coward - I was going to quote a line or two but after further inspection it seems every line of this song is Too relatable.

Hide Away Folk Family - A lovely little song about arson. Great harmonies in this song. My favorite line, however, is spoken by linnell, “abandon hope for future plans”.

BANGERS

Cyclops Rock - My absolute favorite line from this song is “gotta find a new place to hang out cause I’m tired of living in hell.” like go OFF king!! it’s also just v relatable.

Santa’s Beard - This is a fun one. My favorite line is “thrilling christmas, trembling fear.” just bc i like the echo of linnell after flans dfhafdh.

It’s Kickin’ In - This song ALWAYS puts me in a good mood!! High energy classic rock n roll babey!!! my personal vibe report of this track: stellar.

Take Out The Trash - Flans said women’s rights. I quite like the bass in this song.

Feign Amnesia - Really REALLY enjoy the guitar solo in this one.

All The Lazy Boyfriends - This was one of my first Flans songs and I love it just as much as I did the first time I heard it. It’ll always be one of my favorites. Relatable lyrics are a big thing for me and my favorite, relatable lyrics from this song are “who needs a vacation, who needs a direction, who needs motivation when you live in your head?”

Out of Jail

Greasy Kid Stuff

Youth Culture Killed My Dog - Hyper Flansy is my favorite Flansy idontunderstandwhatchadidtomydog

Your Racist Friend - Speaks for itself I think :))

FUNKY (I really don’t have any commentary on any songs in this set in particular, I just think they’re easy to groove to with funky sounds, good bass lines, and great sax + other horns.)

S-E-X-X-Y

Employee Of The Month

Got Getting Up So Down

Pet Name

Dog Walker

Dirt Bike

Hall Of Heads

The Guitar

MISC.

Working Undercover For The Man

Cowtown - This one grew on me really fast and I’m so glad I gave it a chance

Mink Car - In the nicest way possible I think this would be wonderful elevator music.

I Can Hear You - I like this one bc it’s weird and ominous and it triggers my asmr

Sketchy Galore

We Live In A Dump

Lake Monsters

Lucky Ball And Chain - My favorite line from this one is “I was young and foolish then, I feel old and foolish now”

I think I’m going to stop here but there’s definitely others that could replace any of these at any given time lol. I hope you like what I’ve come up with and I’m excited to see your response and how your list differs!!! -WOW this is excellent!!!!! the funny thing is i agree with pretty much. this entire list with maybe some rearranging o order (and i honestly personally dont like youth culture all that much- i just think it takes too long to get to the fast fun part!) but seriously this is excellent and i agree with pretty much this entire list. thank you so much for formatting this so nicely holy shit!!! ill have to make my own more structured list in a separate post so that this one doesnt become a novel HGFGBDGR but this is so cool. i love this i love seeing your opinions abt these specific songs AND its funny how much i agree with!!! i will say though, only because my favorite oc is based on it so ive listened to it 35483475634 times, hide away folk family’s bridge is actually not linnell speaking, but flans on a speech jammer!!!!!

Me sees the character songs post, immediately wants to know what character songs you have for the characters and why.

ok so. welcome to the rabbit hole that is my music taste and what is my no.1 most frequently done activity.. plastering emotions i have for fictional characters all over my music taste. I restricted myself to ¾ songs for each character & then to Edie, Hubert, Dorothea, Lysithea & Byleth because otherwise we’d be here all day (and those are the Primary Daydream Candidates rn)

under a rm because as im sure we’ve all seen.. i just don’t fucking stop.. also i got weirdly deep about some of these topics. i don’t know how to tag it. tread careful?

Here are some songs.. welcome to my (notoriously bad) music taste. alsoi go in Very heavy handed about it all. i make only a few apologies:

Edelgard:Everybody wants to rule the word - tears for fears. (ucan go with Lorde’s cover but i prefer the original bc im like that.) i meanit’s pretty heavy handed but it’s such an Edelgard song it !!!! fuels my ficwriting. if it’s not so very Edelgard’s relationship with twsitd then idk whatto tell you. plus it’s an iconic song

Medicine - daughter. (daughter is My Favourite Band. Ever. I cannot articulate how much ilove their (and ex:re’s) music!!) anway. this is a hegegard song & i don’ttake constructive criticism. I’ll reiterate this better in other descriptions,but please don’t take my inclusion of a song about such a topic as adevaluation of it in any way, that’s not my intention. The reason I go so feralfor Hegegard is because im no stranger to watching someone you care about hurt themselvesin a way you can’t stop, and that’s what the AM ending evokes in me. Hence: asong I love that one can read the same story in. And then the lyrics ‘You couldstill be / What you want to / What you said you were / When I met you” just !! parallelsEdge of Dawn’s lyrics about regret & overall I’m very feral about this.

(Don’t Fear) The Reaper - blue oystercult. this is PRIME Edelgard telling freshly-awokenbyleth she’s been waging war for 5 years. also !!!! ��Seasonsdon’t fear the reaper / Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be likethey are” >>> “The Edge of Dawn (Seasons ofWarfare) (フレスベルグの少女～風花雪月～,lit. Girl of Hresvelg ~Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon~)” .. the link is tenuous but coincidence?? is it, fuck.

Seneca - Novo Amor. this is another one of those songs that could mean something different to everyone. very easy to project onto, is novo amor. I like the story of being prepared to run and break ties at any given moment, but ending up - emotionally or physically - in the same place one always was. apart from the glaring tie of how Edelgard returned to garreg mach, this song is a lot of me trying to repatriate Edelgard’s lack of emotional arc in the game by saying . well. this song.

You can call me Al - paul simon. am i projecting edeleth thoughts onto my favourite song? it’s morelikely than you think!!! but also i like the chorus and all the exasperating ‘call me el’jokes i can make.. i may be half writing a fic based on this song.

Dorothea:Agnes - glass animals. so i have significant emotions about edelthea at the best of times !! and this song !!! really bloody hits it home !! yes I knowit’s got a really heavy and real subject matter and I’m not trying to devalueit or minimise it.. but the story - about watching someone close to you hurtthemselves/get hurt, and doing so in ways you can’t stop them from - is adamn real one. And a Lot of why I love Dorothea’s character in the gamebecause she’s the one who can’t stop her friends from getting hurt – through exposureto warfare .. or stopping Edelgard becomingthe monster at the end of the story. Even though she’s one of the healers onthe beagle’s team. And I feel that.

Ex’s and Oh’s – Elle King. So you know that one spn fanvid featuringthis song about all of dean winchester’s relationships? That, but for my flirting Queen Dorothea Arnault. (and I have the dumbest most fun little headcanon thatonce Dorothea and Sylvain derailed a lgbt+ society meeting whilst Edie wastrying to go over the budget by blasting this song and dancing on the table.The idea makes me laugh)

Hold My Girl – George Ezra. The whole thing about wanting just that onemoment to cherish the people you love for one moment more before you have goout face the world? If that’s not the timeskip’d Dorothea Arnault Aesthetic, Idon’t know what is.

(Call Me Out – sea girls. On a much lighter note, this song is fueling the later half of mydrafts of road trip au. And it’s literally because of that one verse. im gayshut up.)

Hubert:Red Right Hand – nick cave and the bad seeds. Is it on the nose? Is itheavy handed? Oh u fuckin bet but that won’t stop me!!! A) it’s a good song. ItIs. B) I like narrative songs. C) Any ‘red right hand’ symbolism in Anycharacter has me love them immediately and also plonk this song in the middleof any playlist about them. sure, the artic monkeys version might be a bit more on hubert’s brand.. but my mileage varies about it lmao

I had fortress by bear’s den earmarked for Hubie, as I think it’s easilyread about boundaries and a one sided intense relationship & that’s! Hubiebaybee! But I can’t possibly cover unhealthy relationships without shoving thealbum Hospice by The Antlers into every which way of it. It’s by no meansdirectly translatable to Edelgard and hubert’s relationship and it’s arguable ifI should even mention it in the same sentence as a bloody fictional character… that beingsaid, I’ve been having emotions about:Shiva – the antlers. This song specifically reads to me to be a really goodarticulation of my own thoughts about Hubert’s perspective of Edie getting experimentedon. heavy but damn. I like that. I just see a lot of what their teen years togethermust have been like in Shiva.

Time – Pink Floyd. Ok so.. it’s like Hubert in parallel bc I think thissong is a lot about searching for a purpose/reason or a quote unquote bloodyred path in life. And I may have been listening to it when I watched Hubert/DorotheaA support & now it’s just permanently associated with it bc it complementedit so well. And I like it. So . it stays. It’s very much a beagles song to meas well.

Lysithea:The Beautiful Dream – George Ezra. Ok so I read this Edelysithea ficwith this on repeat bc the title reminded me of it, and then I stuck it onrepeat because it worked too well and now.. im crying.. and i like the inflection of Lysithea’s bitterness over the titular lyric. (but also, it remains one of my steadfast edeleth songs.. sorry lys)

Secrets (Cellar Door) – Radical Face. Another Edelgard&/Lysitheasong!! I really like their relationship ok. And given the song itself can beread straight or an allegory for whatever you particularly want, but the storyis just too on the nose for me not to mention it here.(also general advocation of listening to the whole of radical face’s musicbecause I’ve loved it for years now & the work is beautiful.) (also it’swonderful for fe awakening projection. Or ur own.)

Oh Children – nick cave and the bad seeds. there’s a million different interpretations of this song, but to try nail a few onto Lysithea.. there’s the harry potter use of making/finding a light in the depths of tragedy & i love that for Lys. there’s the whole ‘the kids aren’t alright’ theme and it’s various depths. and i like narrative lyrics to plaster my large fictional-character-caused-emotions onto, so make of this one what you will.

Marianne (and Lysithea too if you like)Bad Blood – Radical Face. Ok so. This is one of my favourite songs in bloodyexistence, and it’s so loaded with meaning & it has a metric tonne of it. Icould wax lyrical about how much I love Radical Face’s work. I don’t want myinclusion of this song (specifically this one) to in any way devalue it. Butmusic is ofc incredibly subjective, and so is my reading of a lot of threehouses – in case it’s not bloody obvious by now. There’s a Lot of stories onecould take from Marianne’s character (and none of them are More Valid^tm thanany other), and I do see a very personal story in her – as I do in this song. Hgghhghive just spent 10 minutes trying to find an impersonal way to talk about twovery personal and relative stories, which naturally doesn’t work. That, and theway I read her story is Real Fucking Dicey for tumblr.com. so if this song is about accepting rejection because of parts of yourself so deep they’re in your blood, i think.. y’all can see.. where my neurodivergent gay self is going with this..

Byleth:Something to Believe In – Tom Walker. Yeah. You’re bloody welcome. If this isn’ta completely on the nose Byleth song, I’ll eat Dorothea’s hat.

Don’t Let the Man – Fatboy Slim. ~ And the sign said green-hairedpartially possessed emotionally void mercenaries need not apply for aprofessorship at the country’s most prestigious academic centre… ~

Emigrate - Novo Amor. this just fucking Got Me in the ‘actively choosing crimson flower’ feelings. im an emotional wreak but its aight. the lyrics just matched up too well for me to let it go !!!

Alps - Novo Amor. this hit me in the ‘i miss the gremlin child sothis’ feelings one day and now it’s permanently stuck that way.

Make Them Gold – chvrches. (this is very much associated with awakening’sfuture past kids and also the Carmilla series in my mind But!!) I love a story about‘if we’re all falling, we’re going down together’ and the magical power of teamwork, and how it brings out the best in people.. & that’s what this song& Byleth kinda bloody stand for ya know??

woooh.. oh my god . i need another cup of tea.

#ask #birb says what //#fe meta #that tag's just for kicks and so i can find this again #oh my god i just don't shut up sometimes #but oh my god that was fun #easiest way to get me into a mouse trap or something is to tell me to make a character playlist i s2g #anyway. thank you for the ask!!!#apologies for the brick wall of text!!!#hope someone out there found at least one part of this they liked that'd be rad #but like. i do this shit for ME lmao #kalinary

All 12 months. ((if I'm allowed to do that.))

hahah holy shit you sure are

january: the first fic i posted this year- my niche good omens fic! the idea just would not leave me until i got it out of my system lol

feburary: have i ever written or received a holiday fic- categorically not! maybe my fics are just too long and character-driven for cute holiday fluff ?? i would certainly enjoy taking a crack at any of the old staples of hallmark movies... maybe if i get requests for anything specific. ALTHOUGH i just remembered i did once write an embarrassingly popular malec (tmi) fic set around a shitty family christmas party, if that counts.

march: do i listen to music while writing- i listen to music while doing literally everything, hahaha. today i was writing my legal dissertation while cycling through my liked songs, so i may have subconsciously gotten some elton john/childish gambino/moulin rouge soundtrack in there. i tend to avoid musical soundtracks for fic writing, though, the dual dialogue gets distracting.

april: have i ever written crackfic- yes! when i was maybe 14? it was for hetalia (dark times) and essentially was a parody of all the bad fanfiction i saw at the time on fanfiction dot net. it was very popular. i don’t regret it.

may: have i ever regretted writing a fic- oh boy have i ever. ive been writing fic since i was like thirteen and anything i wrote preceding the last four years makes me cringe to even look at. it’s not as bad as a lot of other stuff and i thankfully never wrote anything really gross or smut or whatever, but i’m my harshest critic and tweenaged writing is never good, so. i did once regret a fic right after posting it, too! when i was in my hetalia phase i once wrote a fic involving some fanon characters and one character was sort of the baddie of my story (got punched by main chara etc)- as it turned out said character was someone’s oc and they lost their shit about it. i had a panic attack about it and apologised profusely until they generously let me off the hook, but looking back i was like 13-14 and i think they were 20+ so that was pretty embarrassing for them lol.

june: have i ever written/posted a marriage fic- no! arranged marriage is actually a trope i quite enjoy when well-executed (i like the politics), and i’d take my shot at a “fake date to a wedding” or “we met having a terrible time at a wedding” fic but i’ve never written it. i wouldn’t write a straight-up marriage fic, i don’t think- it’s a little saccharine (read: boring) for my tastes lmao. unless some other shit is going on behind the scenes/we get a rotating cast’s perspectives on it maybe.

july: the hottest fic i ever wrote/do i write smut- i do not write smut! no moral objection, it’s just a line i draw in the event of my fic somehow coming to light in my everyday life. tragic, though, because had i written terrible smut i might’ve actually stood a chance at getting a movie contract. or mass fandom acclaim. contingently i don’t have much hot content to review- i write a lot of making out but no further. i guess maybe the gomens fic solely bc one of the characters is a demon and thus quite lusty so a fade to black was needed.

august: are any of my fics associated w a certain genre/artist/song- not... really? ive never been a song-fic type of gal. i’m a sucker for the classic song title, though, and whatever song is in the title fits the fic in mood and lyrics, so maybe that counts. i do usually have abstract playlists for all my favourite characters/relationships.

september: share a fave review i’ve gotten- i actually have a whole document of these saved on my laptop, though i don’t look at it often. very leo of me. said list includes everything from the jokingly intense (“i want to print this fic out and eat it”, “i would die for your writing”, “when i die i want to be buried in this fic”) to the memetic (“i would read anything you write including weather reports”, “this is like that one lady gaga meme thats like talented brilliant incredible”) to the sincere (“i downloaded the pdf and listened to it while driving”, “this is heartachingly lovely”, “ive sent screenshots of 50% of this to my friends”, “this was beautiful and very strange”) to the thoughtful analyses of my writing techniques and choices. the latter in particular hold a special place in my heart, but really any comment that manages to convey the emotional response / literary analysis of the reader is special to me. i think in total ive probably received around 2000 comments on my works and i appreciate ‘em all (except this one person who had the audacity to critique my authorial choices on the 17th chapter of a fic).

october: name the spookiest/darkest thing ive ever written- hmmm, hard one! spookiest is easy bc i wrote a haunted house bnha fic (“damn if these walls could talk”) a while back, but it was mostly a black comedy. darkest... idk. depends what qualifies as dark. a lot of my fic have characters put through the wringer somewhat, but in a relatively grounded manner- there’s no gratuitous torture porn and whatnot. le mot vagabond (my marauders epic) might qualify solely because the setting is so dire. i like to make my characters suffer, but i always give them a happy ending, like they’ve earned it. wishful thinking maybe.

november: any rituals to get me in the writing mood- none! my main writer’s block comes in three forms: 1) other more pressing obligations (academia for the most part) 2/interruptions (familial esp- hello quarantine) 3/ procrastination. if none of those three are at play i will happily spend whole days writing.

december: have i ever written a gift fic- yes, but just the once! any french readers feel free to read my incredibly niche fic for les faux-monnayeurs, a mid-century modern french classic, which i wrote upon finding a remarkable reworking of another set text from the french literary high school curriculum (and gifted to the author of said work). and then sometimes i write things for my friends which are technically gifts i suppose.

that was v fun and probably the most personal ive ever gotten on here lol; ty for asking and i hope this sates your curiosity somewhat !

character ask meme- count bleck lol

fuck.. im kinnie.

favorite thing about them: LISTEN i know its stupid but i just........ aesthetically............... blue’s outfit................................. peak noircore. i wanna dress like that!! it’s not jus for the kinnie its just that i really like that sort of extravagant style

least favorite thing about them: oh, yknow, maybe the fact that they were kind of about to maybe just a little bit destroy every single world........... in my canon the dark prognosticus bassboosted the negative emotions that came with losing the only person who ever cared about them but that doesn’t excuse them completely

favorite line: ok if we’re talking abt count bleck it’d probably be: "Now there is only Bleck! The Dark Prognosticus's choice to fulfill the prophecy! Nothing more!" bc then you can see just how they think of themself at this point. just a vessel. they aren’t a person. theyre just the host to ensure the dark prognosticus’ prophecy goes through. they Know they aren’t blumiere anymore. and after years and years, they’ve accepted it. and they aren’t trying too hard to form anything new, because they know the end is approaching. they may as well stay like this, a husk that moves at the will of the prognosticus

but if it’s like.. blumiere from the memories, it’d probably be "'If we can't be happy here, we must leave for a place that will accept our love. If our love has no home... let us spend our lives searching together!'" because THATS the real gay agenda

brOTP: hmm... honestly im gonna have to go with nastasia. they could get along fine when they’re close to each other, it’d just become a disaster if they actually tried for something romantic bc. y know. blumiere’s a fucking mess and nastasia isn’t in that great of a state herself.

OTP: timpani!! with the two ive gotten so far i havent changed the ‘canon’ ship jdsjkgdgdh im basic huh......... but yea theyre jus... it could be sweet. they still have a lot to work through, especially post spm, but. they’ll be able to. things won’t be the same as they were before the prognosticus, but they can both adjust to change and learn to love each other again

nOTP: hhhhhhh why are you shipping blumiere with dimentio... why........ i will never understand some of you. did canon just? not happen? for you to start shipping dimentio with people? especially this unstable bastard? ...also blumiere w mimi. that just. hm. cant put my finger on it bc i havent touched spm in a while but it still creeps me out. esp since i hc their relationship to be more of a platonic father/daughter

random headcanon: blumiere meant to die when they fell from the cliff

unpopular opinion: hi!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if the others forgive them post-spm blumiere still feels the need to own up to what they’ve done and the guilt is endless. they feel they deserved dimentio’s betrayal in the end because of how shitty they’ve been to everyone. the only reason they helped work against it was because they knew that even though they deserved death, none of the others did. now that they had a chance to be more than an empty body, to create their own path, they wanted to save everyone they’d hurt. and even post spm that feeling remains. stop writing blumiere as a shitty person but rather a person who is still trying to work through a shitty past

song i associate with them: i actually have a... a playlist for all of the counts crew.............. but for a specific one (and yea i know i still need to get into touhou.. one of these days) bad apple

favorite picture art piece of them: ok ok i havent gone here in forever so i havent kept up with it but with fics?? either not a usual honeymoon or blumiere and timpani’s forest inn iTS REALLY HARD TO CHOOSE
