#8tracks my beloved

[yrlocalghost]

i firmly believe that listening to these on a loop from the ages of 15-18 fundamentally affected who i am today and the way i navigate the world

#nobody hmu i am pulling out the 2016 8tracks undertale playlist songs :( #i have not touched many of these since 2019 #i used to think a lot about the mute song plotline within radical face family tree album story #the way that unlike many of the others their story never resolves #they just ran away #it has been 8 years and i still hope that their plotline resolves in them finding somewhere they are loved or happy #the second one i have listened to more recently than 2019. oh hellos my long time beloveds

#poe my beloved #hi yes hello #asked and answered #i talk #lmao I was pleasantly surprised by my number one this year #i was on a roll #into memory lane and all those indie songs I listened to back when 8tracks was a thing #in 2014 #and 2015 #im old #lmao im kidding

[hesgomorrah]

chris fleming voice so was anyone gonna tell me that 8tracks got revived or was i just supposed to find that out halfway through writing a post complaining about spotify playlists

#i knew the website still existed but i thought it was just in read-only mode or something #8tracks my beloved... you've come back to me #i have to be at work in an hour or else i would spend all day going through old dw playlists #tensimm fanmixes had a permanent effect on my music taste as a kid i think #my posts

1️⃣ and 🕰️!

the mountain goats ask game!

oops i reblogged this and then went down south for hogmanay and have done exactly nothing productive since!! better late than never though

1️⃣- first song you heard?

heel turn 2 my beloved. embarassingly it was on a doctor/master 8tracks playlist but you know what, none of us are free from cringe. after that it was probably the typical run of no children > up the wolves > this year

🕰️ - current favorite song?

hard tie between clean slate and sudden oak death (i know we here on tumblr all love mcb but this is SUCH an underrated gem in the wider community, it deserves more love). also keep getting mosquito repellent stuck in my head

tumblr was weird and auto-posted an ask from @fearforthestorm before immediately deleting it??? so i'm just gonna add it on here

📱 - favorite album from the 2020s?

this is tough!! assuming we're excluding jordan lake (all of which have some incredible versions on them) it's probably jenny from thebes. i liked getting into knives a lot when it first came out, but i tend to pick and chose tracks when i'm listening to it now as opposed to sticking it on the whole way through. maybe the shine is gonna come off jft but i really do think it's the best they've been in years

currently reading: the sparrow (again); this book will not set me free is2fg i still haven't been able to finish my annotating or my decorating or even this fucking read through. this book has had me in a fucking CHOKE HOLD since i read it the first time and i've literally been incapable of reading anything else since.

currently consuming: mobile suit gundam series!!! i'm currently watching gundam unicorn (after i'm going to watch narrative and then the og series). depressing mecha anime my beloved 🥰 i also need to buy myself some gundam kits to build.

🎶, 🤩, and 🤭 for the ask meme if you'd be so kind

I'm enthusiastically inclined!! :))

🎶 for music I listen to whilst I write... it's a mix-up for me. I think I write/work best in complete silence, but also, when I put music on, I can achieve that same concentration and tune the music out as subconscious white noise? I try to listen to whatever suits the mood - for persona 4 (golden) or adayu, I like looping a corner of memories like a madman. for my brief forray into tommary, the teen wolf song who are you, really as well as this other one called blood in the cut were all I listened to for an entire winter and then some, though I never ended up posting any of it, haha. for my invisible era of eobarry in the flash fandom, the song another way out thanks to this one edit made the song everything for me. for more amoral enemies to lovers pairings, my go-to is this foe yay playlist I've had for over half a decade on spotify. this is the one I've been looping most as of late, and they're all made of songs I particularly liked from several of this one-sided spy/sniper fic's ambience playlists on 8tracks. for alex rider, it's got to be these three playlists for june, july, and august when I first got into the fandom and was incredibly hyperfixated on ar and yalex. for any complicated pairing ever, the song make me wanna die—courtesy of an ancient steter amv on youtube that I can no longer find probably because it’s long gone—is blast it at full volume and embrace the emo type vibe. sorry for all the links sdkfjsklsjdf if you can't tell, I'm super invested in answering everyone's asks!!

🤩 favorite character to write? I'm quite a snarky, blunt, and sarcastic person IRL and I've got plenty of one-liners to spare which also means characters ready to quip at any and all times are both the easiest to write and my favorites. I've not published any yet, but I've got several WIPs featuring your friendly neighborhood spiderman that have convinced me writing peter parker is nothing short of fun, though his quips don't usually have as much mean-spirited bite behind them. likewise I haven't posted anything for teen wolf, but stiles is the same way except that he can be a little bit meaner and mean it, too. lastly, alex rider my beloved and his matter-of-factly one-liners. canonically he's all "it looks like I sleighed him" or in response to a certain someone being crushed, "I'd have been disappointed, too." they come so naturally to me when I'm writing, and it's super fun to reread lines that seem to fit so well for the characters!

🤭 according to ao3, my most used tags are light angst... followed by angst, LOL. my personal favorite tag to use, however, is the "gen or pre-slash" tag, thanks to suzie. ever since I discovered its existence, I've been using it profusely in all my fics that lean more toward gen than slash. it's a gen fic according to the relationships, pairings, and orientations tag, yes, but that gen or pre-slash tag I've slapped on is me telling everyone to come get a pair of slash goggles free of charge, if they'd like. like those people who hand out opera glasses at the opera. it feels like the exact opposite of those "don't read this as a ship fic" warnings hahaha. it's gen, but also feel free to read it as slashy as you'd like!! I adore this tag.

My beloved blocked me on 8tracks seven years ago when I made a yandere playlist for him.

I have spent the last seven years making sure he regrets that.

Nobody blocks me on 8tracks.

Especially not my darling.

❤️❤️❤️

[shatterthefragments]

1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 for the songs!

Mmmm picking options here~

It’s also like. Sometimes when I’m sad it cheers me up or soothes and holds me and when I’m in my feelings about a certain thing it makes me sad and. Idk where I’m going with this. Something something I can’t even listen to Pathetic by Blame Candy even though it’s still in my likes bc it puts me in a bad place and I’m NOT pathetic (trying anyway). :P anyway emotions are weird and it’s hard to sort songs bc some songs fit for ALL 1, 2, AND 3 😳💖 like. The Neighbourhood (well the two main albums I adore so much more than anything) both make me happy and also sad and WILL CRY hmmmmmmmm (to be fair it’s usually my fault bc I’ve worked myself into a state where I need a release and I have to like. Put on the right music and read the right story and just let myself cry (or watch EEAAO again))

1. makes me happy

Argh. Picking one is hard. 🎉

Alkaline Sleep Token but ALSO this is the very first song I heard of theirs which was almost launching me into obsession (it was Granite which I heard next ✌️✨💖)

and a non sleep token song: Firefrost Env

(Electronic super joy soundtrack brings me so much joy 🤩)

2. Makes me sad

Mmmm. So. Hmm. Fickle Game by Amber Run.

I perhaps shan’t add any others 😌

3. Made me cry

I have definitely cried to Depeche Mode’s Somebody when yearning but even more so to (sorry to repeat this song from another question 17?. But not actually 😘) Cat Power’s Sea of Love cover

Honourable mentions to these fuckers right here too.

4. Answered HERE https://www.tumblr.com/shatterthefragments/750765802931765248/4-1217-for-the-song-thing but additionally I could say monowhales but then they fucking disbanded after I saw them live (twice, once opening, once headline.) :(

24. What I want as my theme song

Oooh the “I want” really making this interesting tbh

(Bc I *feel* like it would be Soda by Nothing But Thieves but I am trying to be happy and *not* forget :P)

(Oh fuck or The Neighbourhood’s Afraid too which I discovered off a spn 8tracks playlist for Sam and then loved the nbhd especially the albums i love you and wiped out)

Ascensionism Sleep Token.

And non sleep token answer:

Either IDWT$ Bad Omens

Or Abelha Emily Hopkins MY BELOVED

All three of which are more badass than I necessarily deserve but it’s what I want ✌️✨💖

#music #asks #ask game #these were fun thank you!! 🥰💖 #shatters’ fragments #long post #once again I do not control the link thingies but I did accidentally paste one twice and I think that’s why that’s there but anyway

8tracks my beloved...

#search up any ship on there that was popular pre like. 2015 and bam. 50 playlists #spotify just doesnt do 8tracks' job

[girlcockgumshoe]

I miss 8tracks. "apocalyptic beauty queen" Junko Enoshima fanmix, "ain't no rest for the wicked" Godot fanmix, my beloveds.

[thesecottonstreets]

young volcanoes my beloved 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

ok i'm about to out myself, but i first heard this song a million years ago on 8tracks (!!!) and was SO OBSESSED with it, it's such a good song 😭😭😭😭😭

[underestimated-heroine]

Man everyone who didn't get to experience ad-free 8tracks.com really missed out. 8tracks was the tits.

The character playlists...the ability to add pirated songs to playlists...also, when they got bought and forced to comply with policies that benefited marketers, they literally put out a statement that was like "we're doing this against our will fuck you corporate" then over the course of like 4 days they edited the statement word by word. Obviously, they'd been ordered to edit it and did so as reluctantly as possible. The playlists were also better than any playlist you'll find on Spotify. So much love went into them. They were literally masterpieces.

In another life well meet again, 8tracks.com my beloved ♥️

[lavenderkid]
