#I'm so glad my playlists could make someone feel similar to how I did listening to Undertale playlists back in early Undertale days ! ! !

[mxdreemurr]

Hi!! I'm sorry if this is out of nowhere. I just wanted to tell you, some years ago I saved a few of your playlists on spotify (and promptly forgot about them). Earlier this year I found them again, and they've quickly become my favourite fanmixes & some of my all around favourite playlists ever. Had to track you down to save some more playlists and also to thank you: you made my year, introduced me to folk punk, made me cry rivers. Thank you thank you! You have superb taste! Have a great day :D

Hi ! ! ! Asks out of nowhere are completely fine ! And this is just ! ! ! So nice and good ? ? ? It made me really really really happy to hear . Undertale playlists on 8tracks in 2015 - 2017 were something I really loved , a big way I enjoyed Undertale fan content , and introduced me to so much music that I love now and basically developed my music taste . I'm just so glad that the playlists that I made could be some of someone else's favourites , and that they could feel some of the emotions that I felt while making them . And making your whole year ? That's an incredible compliment and thing to say ! ! ! Thank you ! ! ! ! It's not a problem and thank you ! ! ! ! I'm so happy and touched that someone found my playlists and liked them that much and that they had such an impact . Thank you sincerely for sending this ask to let me know . I should really find someway to put all my playlists up online in an easy to listen format . . . I'll work on it . And seriously ! Thank you ! ! !

#This made me so happy ! ! ! ! #I considered putting my playlists on spotify but didn't because of how you have to listen to a playlist shuffled if you don't have premium #And the order of the tracks is important to me #They tell a story ! #Anyways I'll look at spotify again and anything else available #I also looked at Playmoss and Stayed Up All Night but didn't have the energy to put them all up there #BUT ANYWAYS #I will have the energy now ! Because I really like my playlists ! ! ! #I was actually thinking about them before I received this ask and already wanted to post them again ! But now even more ! #I also have some edits I want to make with some of the song choices but they'll mostly stay the same #Thank you for this wonderful message ! ! ! #I'm so glad my playlists could make someone feel similar to how I did listening to Undertale playlists back in early Undertale days ! ! ! #asks #annalyz3 #long post / #text heavy / #favourite #save

Steve Rogers x Fem.Reader

Lol, I didn't expect this Gif to be so big, but oh well. I did Loki, so I'm doing Steve now. Edit: This turned out better than I expected, I would honestly make another part.

🛡️Old Soul🛡️ (Marvel)

Warnings: Like...1 curse word, cute, (sorry but he's not as infatuated with Peggy, y'all), age difference (but we knew that already)

Steve didn't think he could fall in love at first meeting again...until he met you. Of course, the Avengers teased him for your age a little. Yeah, you might've been young, but you were an old soul.

☆*: .｡..｡.:*☆☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

There were times Steve needed to escape from the tower for a bit, too much foreign technology and things he still didn't understand. He was glad there were still parks around, although there weren't as many social interactions as there were in the '40s, people got phones and laptops now. But he didn't need that, he just wanted to relax and enjoy his escape.

He took a leisurely stroll, well, as leisure as he could be being Captain America in New York, but he avoided places he knew were crowded to get here, and now he just needed a place to sit.

"🎶Got a knockout style and the cutest smile, love that boy🎶"

His head sharply turned, it wasn't often he heard someone sing a song from his time, nor a voice that beautiful. You sat on a wooden bench with earbuds in your ears, your knees propped up for your head to lean against, your pretty [Eye Color] eyes looked off to the side.

"🎶With his baby blue eyes and his droopy bow ties, he's the king of the hoi polloi🎶"

You smiled to yourself, your finger tapping to the beat.

God, she's beautiful, Steve couldn't help but think.

He sang the next part to himself with you, "🎶He's a graduate, he's a fashion plate. The chicks all call him a righteous gent🎶"

He decided he'd join you, you didn't even realize that for a second, you made Steve feel at home.

You glanced up when you noticed someone sit beside you, but unlike Steve expected, you only smiled at him and continued to sing, but softer.

Respectful, you were getting better by the minute.

"🎶--than be President. He just is what he is, the technique is all his. Boy, it's the real McCoy🎶"

He silently finished the last lines with you.

You pulled out your phone, stopping the next song from playing.

"So. To what do I owe the pleasure of Captain America joining me?"

Your speaking voice was almost better than your singing voice, he was doomed.

"Well, I guess I was drawn in by your voice, Miss," Steve confessed honestly, "Speaking of, I was surprised to know people still listen to my music."

You chuckled to yourself, "It's a secret I have, so don't tell anyone. I listen to a lot of older music, in my opinion, some of the best music came from the '40s to '90s, everything after came from those times."

"Now, I know you listen to music on that device," Steve furrowed his brows trying to think of how to say his words, "But how do you find songs from so far back with the tap of a button?"

You giggle to yourself, "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you--Okay, I am, but it's just cute," you show him your screen, "Right now, I'm on a playlist, which is a collection of different songs--you'd probably understand if I told you it's similar to an album list, just with tons of different songs and genres."

He nodded attentively looking into your eyes briefly.

Gosh, you thought his eyes were pretty.

"There are different types of playlists. Some are unorganized and can range from jazz to hip hop, or some are more organized to a music genre or generation, like Pop Music, '80s music, '60's music, and so forth. But with older songs, technology has gotten so crazy that it can...hm...in a way print the music from records and things and make it easier to find or listen to...Ah, I can't really explain it, but it's something like that."

"It's okay, I was just curious, besides, I get the point."

"What's got you at the park?"

"Sometimes technology can get a little much for me, I wanted something more...ah..."

"...Natural? Organic?" you guessed.

"Yeah, that," he gave a little laugh.

"I can't even imagine, this is a completely different era for you," you placed your feet back on the ground.

"Definitely, but I can't stay stuck in the past, it won't do me any good," he sighed, resting his elbow on the bench on the empty side.

"So, Captain," you smirked, "Have you ever gotten the chance to listen to any newer music?"

He hummed in thought, "Ah, not really. Why?"

You offered your wireless bud, "Well I can catch you up a little. I wouldn't mind a dreamboat like yourself hangin' with me for a bit," you decided to tease him, "unless you're too much of a geezer to spend time with me."

He grinned, "Did you just call me old?"

You made a so-so motion with your free hand, teasing smile on your lips, "I mean, you technically are."

He snorted as he took the earbud, "You're just young, kid."

"Oh, so now I'm a kid? Says the man that can't put in an earbud when he's been unfrozen for way more than a year."

"I'm not quick to adapt to technology, okay? Can you help me?"

You shook your head fondly, turning over and placing it in for him.

He sighed to himself at the small space between your faces, your knee pressed against his outer thigh, your gentle fingers brushing against his ear every second or so.

You pulled away to sit beside him, scooting a bit closer, "Alright, I don't want to scare you at the jump in music so I'll start with the '50s or '60s and go from there."

Steve didn't know how long he sat there with you, enjoying music, enjoying your company, listening to your voice. He was hooked and you hadn't even meant to, but he was already being reeled in with no effort.

After a while and you realized the time, you told him he should probably get back before others get worried he got lost, but not without his number (you praised him for at least mostly knowing how to use a phone). On his way back he got a notification, you'd sent him a song you recommended to him.

☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

A week later.

"Uh-oh, looks who coming up in the music game, you made it to the '80s," Tony teased when he walked into the living room.

Steve asked Jarvis to turn the song off from the couch he sat on.

"And he's been on his phone more lately," Natasha added.

This made Tony raise a brow, "The caveman? What made you want to get current all of a sudden?"

Steve got another notification that you'd texted, he could help but smile and text back.

"It's a woman, she's pretty," Clint spoke up from behind him, which made Steve jump.

You shouldn't do that to someone who was in a war.

Steve tilted his head back, meeting the archer's eyes, "When did you...?"

"Nat and I came up to get snacks before we went back to training. I heard your phone and got nosy," he answered the Captain before taking a sip from his water bottle.

"Damn, you're right, she's hot. Who's she?" Tony peered at your profile picture in Steve's contacts.

Steve moved it away, "Back off."

The younger men mockingly raised their arms.

"Relax, she's all yours. No need to get possessive over your girl."

"She's not 'my girl' Tony, we just met a few days ago."

"And you're already whipped."

"She looks pretty young for your age," Clint commented, he wasn't judging though, just curious how a younger woman got his attention.

"[Name]'s 25..." he half-heartedly answered, mainly focusing on trying to understand a meme you sent him.

Tony laughed, "You sure like the young ones, huh?"

"I'm not in my nineties if I haven't actually lived that time, Stark," he responded with a laughing emoji (one of the few emojis he used with you).

He'd been told that from you when he felt weird about flirting with you, you'd told him.

"Well, technically, I don't see you as your actual age. You were frozen all that time, you didn't actually live and experience those years, Steve. Besides, you're still cute with no wrinkles or health issues, I think that is pretty impressive for your age. A man like you is pretty rare now, that's not something that'll change my mind."

"She's more of an old soul anyway."

"So that's what it is," Clint realized.

"Still weird," Tony called back while he walked off with his blueberries.

"You're definitely into her, I can tell," Natasha talked around a strawberry.

"I am. I want to see her again--"

Beautiful💕🦋

hey, Steve. what do you think about meeting at a cafe tomorrow morning?

if ur free, of course? 😉

You

I'd like that. What time?

Well, he'd see you tomorrow morning then.

He just hoped that you enjoyed his company like he enjoyed yours.

Because he's already fallen for you.

____________________

Four days. It’s been four days since that phone call. And not a single one had gone by where Hyunjin didn’t cry himself to sleep while hugging your pillow. And every single one of those days, he’d dragged himself to practice and put on a face in front of the other boys, pretending that everything’s okay, when in reality he just wants to curl up into a ball and cry.

Four days and you still hadn’t been around to pick up your things. Being honest, he wished you already taken it all. It was getting harder. Coming home each day, expecting to find the apartment empty of your belongings. But when he walks through the door and finds everything in the exact same place as it was when he left in the morning gave him a false hope. A hope that maybe you won’t leave, that maybe you’ll come back and kiss him tell him that you’ll give him another chance. But knowing that that’s not going to happen just breaks his heart all over again.

It’s another two days before you show up. It’s 10 am on a Friday, and you didn’t want to come yet, knowing that the moment you do, it’ll feel real. That it’ll hit you like a truck that the best relationship of your life is truly over. But you didn’t want to wait too long either, after all, it’s better to rip the band-aid off quickly.

You slide the key into the lock, taking a deep breath before turning the handle and pushing the door open. The apartment is quiet, and something about stepping back into the place you called home feel uneasy. Almost as if you don’t belong there anymore. Similar to that feeling when you go to someone else’s house for the first time, and you don’t know how to act. That’s how you feel in the place you lived in for so long.

You close the door and take off your shoes, tightening your grip on the folded-up boxes in your arms. It feels weird. You don’t know what you were expecting but finding everything in the exact same place as it was when you last walked out seems strange. Things have changed, so why does every knick-knack remain in its place as if nothing were different.

You walk towards the bedroom, the only sound in the otherwise silent apartment is that of your soft footsteps on the hardwood flooring. You make it to the bedroom and place all the boxes down except for one. You open it up and step closer to your drawers of clothes, and slowly start placing the clothing into the box. You continue like this for a while, silently packing until your drawers are empty. There’s something about the silence of the house that makes you not want to make a sound. Normally you’d put on a playlist and dance as you pack, but not this time.

You move over to your bedside table, planning to start placing more of your things into various boxes. But in the corner of your eye, you stop something on your pillow that you hadn’t seen earlier. It’s a note. A piece of paper that’s been folded up neatly and placed gently on the pillow. Your name is written tidily on the front in Hyunjin’s handwriting, and just the sight alone almost has you crying. Part of your mind tells you to just scrunch up the piece of paper and toss it aside, but a bigger part of you desperately wants to read it. And so, you slowly pick up the note, take a seat on the edge of the bed, unfold it, and start reading.

dearest y/n

you said i probably wouldn’t be here when you come to pick up your stuff. so i decided to write you this so i can tell you what i want to say. well, assuming that you’ll actually read this, which i hope you do. i really really really hope you read this. gosh, i’m getting off track, sorry.

i want to tell you again just how sorry i am. but i know that no matter how many times i say it, and no matter what way i say it, it will never truly convey just how sorry i am. i wish from the bottom of my heart that this didn’t happen. i wish that i wasn’t such a dick and that i was there when you needed me. i have no excuse for not responding to you or calling you for so long. i’m so so sorry for hurting you. i’m not going to ask for your forgiveness, because i wouldn’t forgive myself if i were you. i already can’t forgive myself. all i want is to tell you how sorry i am, and how much i love you. and seeing as i can’t tell you in person, this note will have to do.

i love you, y/n. ever since we met, you’ve brought me more joy that i ever thought i could otherwise feel. you have the ability to make me laugh and blush like a teenager in love. you make my heart feel warm every time i see you. every time i get a message from you i smile. you make me feel safe and comfortable and i know that i can be vulnerable around you. you make me so giddy with happiness and love. i still get butterflies in my stomach every time i see you or talk to you. you make me smile like an idiot and it’s far too often that the boys have asked me why i’m smiling at my phone. you know that feeling when you’re so happy and smiley that it makes you feel all tingly in the best way? yeah, that’s how you make me feel. you make me laugh and you make me feel confident in myself. even when i feel like everything is crumbling around me, i know that you’re there to help me through. you’ve always been there for me when i need a shoulder to cry on and you have no idea just how much i regret not being there for you when you needed a shoulder. every single day i’m grateful that i got the chance to meet you and i’m especially grateful for the time that i got to call you mine. you’ll always have a special place in my heart. it hurts me when you’re hurting, and for me to be the reason that you’re upset and crying is the worst feeling in the world and i wish with everything i have that i was better. i’m so sorry, and i love you to the moon and back a billion times over.

love from hyunjin

The tears that you managed to keep at bay earlier fall freely now, a few dripping onto the page. Your fresh tears mix with Hyunjin’s dried ones at the bottom of the note, and you’re just glad they avoid smearing any of the ink. There’s a part of you, the part that wanted to discard the note without a second thought, that wants to hate Hyunjin. That wants to hate him for what he did, for making you feel so alone when you needed him. But you can’t. You’ve tried to listen to that part of you ever since you walked out of the apartment weeks ago. But you can’t bring yourself to hate him. It’s not easy when you’ve spent so long loving him. You reach into your pocket, pulling out your phone. You open your contacts and hit Hyunjin’s name, typing out a message to send to him.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Hyunjin sits in the corner, taking a momentary breather from the dance. He’s been going overboard with practicing lately, trying to distract himself from the situation. And it’s worked, until he’s gotten back to the apartment where he’s reminded that you’re gone. His phone buzzes, showing a message from you.

y/n <3: are you busy?

He quickly types back, asking why you’re asking. He hits send, his heart racing, shocked that you’re messaging him. His phone buzzes again with your response.

y/n <3: i was gonna ask if you could come to the apartment but if you’re busy then i won’t

Hyunjin jumps up, walking over the Chan and showing him the message.

“Can I go?” he asks, itching to run out the door and head straight over to you.

“Yeah, okay, you can,” Chan answers. He’s the only person that Hyunjin’s told about what happened, and he’s been worried about the younger man. “If any of the staff asks where you are, I’ll tell them you felt sick and went home.”

Hyunjin nods, says his thanks and rushes out the door. He doesn’t stop until he reaches the apartment door, making the trip in record time. But as he reaches for the handle, he halts. This will be the first time he sees you in person since he left for tour. And it’s not until now that he starts to think about why you messaged. Maybe you read the message, maybe you want to keep the apartment and have him move out instead of you, maybe you want to say goodbye one last time in person. The only way for him to know for certain is to open the door and face you. He’s nervous, but he still opens the door with shaking hands.

“Y/n?” he calls out while closing the door and removing his shoes.

“Bedroom,” is your response, and Hyunjin’s breath hitches at the sound of your voice. He missed the sound; it’s been too long since he’s last heard your voice without you sounding like you’re crying. He heads towards the bedroom, taking one last deep breath before rounding the corner and seeing you. It takes everything in him. Everything to not immediately run up to you and engulf you in a hug just the way he wanted to when he first came home.

You pat the spot on the bed next to you, signalling for him to come and sit. He does just that, slowly walking over, not taking his eyes off of you. He’s missed you too much to look away. If this is the last time he gets to see you, he doesn’t want to miss a single moment. You don’t even look at him yet, instead keeping your eyes trained on your hands in your lap. You both sit in silence for a moment, neither of you wanting to speak first.

“I read the note,” you say, holding up the piece of paper in your hands for a brief moment. You pause, waiting to see if he’s going to say anything, but he doesn’t. “Do you really mean everything you wrote?”

“I do, I mean every last word. I love you so much and I’m so incredibly sorry for not answering any of your messages. It was stupid and I regret it so much.” You finally look up at him, and you find his eyes welling with tears.

“I need you to know how much it hurt me, and that I can’t forgive you. Not yet anyway. But what I can do is give you one more chance. As long as you promise not to do it again. Because if you hurt me like this again, then I will leave, and I won’t come back at all.”

“I promise! I promise that I will never do this again. I promise to be there for you when you need me, and I promise to never hurt you ever again.” It makes you giggle quietly, the way he hold his pinkie finger up to make a pinkie promise. It’s the way you’ve always promised each other things, so you don’t think twice as you link your finger with his. “So does this mean you’re not gonna leave?”

“Yeah,” you say, finally smiling. And Hyunjin’s heart warms at the sight. He loves your smile, it’s one of his favourite things in the entire world. He’s often said that if he were only able to see one thing for the rest of his life, it would be your beautiful smile. “Kiss me?”

You don’t have to ask twice before Hyunjin presses his lips to yours. It’s sweet, the emotions he pours into the kiss. Through it you can feel just how much he loves you, just how much he cares about you. You can feel the sorrow he’s felt and the guilt that’s eaten away at him. The pain, the heartbreak, but most of all you can feel the overwhelming joy he feels at being able to call you his again. But you’re just happy to finally be kissing your boyfriend for the first time in months.

Microsoft Surface Headphones Review: 1st vs 2nd gen, and why they're great to Work-from-Home or anywhere.

So you're on the market for some new gear, and in your search you stumbled upon Microsoft's Surface Headphones, but you're not ready to make the plunge until you get some more research under your belt, right?

I don't blame you. The right head candy can be an expense these days, but hopefully this short and concise review can help!

Let me start by acknowledging that sound and music are more personal in nature, and everyone has their natural preferences. I happen to dig all kinds of music from musical soundtracks and trap to neo-soul and hip-hop. That aside...

Let's begin!

How much do Microsoft Surface Headphones cost?

Surface Headphones (1st gen) - $139.89 on Amazon

Surface Headphones 2 (2nd gen) - $250 from Microsoft Store

What's the difference between them visually?

To be honest, not much has visually changed at first glance. The design was pretty slick the first time around, and was well received. Even as I rode the subway or walked through the aisles of the grocery store, you could tell people admired the unique modern look. It's simple and clean just like the original.

The first gen headphones are grey/off-white while the second gen are charcoal black. They are beautiful shades, however it does make me wish for more colors. It would kind of be a good look if Microsoft offered four more colors that matched the colors of their logo (red, yellow, blue, green). But, I understand the safer play as opposed to going bold.

So what are some key differences that stood out?

Buttons: The 1st gen headphones had buttons that were almost flush with the cup, which was annoying. There were plenty times where I had to search frantically for the power button. The second gen fixes that by making the buttons pronounced.

Ear-cup Size: The size/diameter of the 2nd gen earcups are definitely larger, which is welcome because I have Will Smith ears. But not only that, it makes for an over all cozier feel.

Earcup Swivel: The Surface Headphones 2 earcups can spin around almost 360, which is great because I have more ability to wear them comfortably around my neck! I'm glad they fixed it this time around.

Multi-Bluetooth Connection: I was easily able to set up multi-bluetooth connections to my various devices, including the Android Pixel4a and Pro7. It was amazing to listen to music or video on my phone, then continue right where I left off on the Pro7.

Grease: One other thing to note...don't touch the black Surface Headphones with greasy hands, it shows much more than if you did with the white 1st gens. That's a user issue though, not a hardware one.

How do they feel once you pick them up?

Without a doubt, the difference is night and day. The 2nd gen headphones are more weighty, and for me that's a great thing. I honestly don't like my hardware/electronics to feel too light, because it makes me think there's not much going on inside to produce a quality experience.

Once I picked up the Surface Headphones 2, then picked up the Surface Headphones (1st gen), I was properly excited to listen. The extra weight provided a sense of anticipation that there would be more UMPH, in terms of low, mids, highs and bass tones.

Setup Time?

It took literally less than 5 minutes to open and pair the headphones to begin listening to music. It was quick, easy, and intuitive for me. I enabled blue-tooth on my phone, then powered on the headphones. Found the name of the headphones from my phone's blue-tooth list, and followed the onscreen/audio instructions, and boom I was setup.

Now if it's someone older or unfamiliar with blue-tooth devices, they might need some help going into their blue-tooth settings, etc.

What about the Sound?

I preferred the sound of the Surface Headphones 2 over the 1st gen. During my test I played all kinds of music at a 95% volume (almost on max...yes mom, I know it's not good for my ears).

One of my main gripes on Surface Headphones (1st gen) was that on higher volumes, and listening to music with more bass, it started to sound like 'rattling', as if the headphones could not handle the true sound.

The Surface Headphones 2 fixed that issue completely. I listened to all sorts of bass heavy music and not a single time did I hear rattling.

The treble is also more solid this time around, and truly shines when listening to slower soundtrack or classical music.

I would say that I'm highly satisfied with the sound on both fronts. And if you're curious here are some of the songs I listened to on both Surface 1st gen and Surface 2nd gen.

And here's the rest of the list in case you're curious or want some new jams:

Story of OJ - JayZ

Cyberpunk 2077 - Pacific Dreams Radio Playlist

Father Figure - Tobe Nwigwe

Will (Remix) - Joyner Lucas & Will Smith

O-o-h Child - The Five Stairsteps

This Land - from Lion King original album

Black Panther - Ludwig Goransson

Break You Off - The Roots

All the Stars - Kendrick Lamar & SZA

Nothing Without You - Tanerelle

Adonai - Sarkodie

Be Here in the Morning - Joy Denalane

Noise Cancellation and Ambient Amplification:

The noise cancellation is solid. With no music playing and maxed out ambient filter on, I couldn't even hear myself snapping fingers next to my head, or my wife talking to me in her normal voice (which is occasionally kind of loud - no shade).

The noise cancellation was great on SurfaceMulti (1st gen) but it's now even better with the 2nd gen, especially when drowning out annoying sounds when walking outside (such as people, cars, trains).

I also love the ambient amplification feature, that's easy to use by dialing up the level on the left ear cup. I use that regularly if I'm listening to music, but want to also know if someone says something to me directly. Or the other day, when I was in the grocery store and walked up to the cashier to checkout, I didn't have to take the headphones off. I was able to up the ambient amplifier to max, and speak with the cashier. Once I finished, I immediately turned my music and noise cancellation back up. It was pretty seamless.

Charging and Battery Life:

Officially the 1st gen gets 13 hours and the 2nd gen gets 18.5. After a full charge, and then turning on the Surface 2, the voice said I had 17 hours left. I typically only listen in 1 - 3 hour spurts at my highest usage, so that pans out to about a whole week almost without needing to recharge.

Overall Verdict:

I'm highly recommending the Surface Headphones 2. For the price point and quality, I feel like the Surface Headphones 2 are your better buy, especially considering how they stack up against similar competitors. I felt like Microsoft paid attention to all the things that actually needed improvement, instead of trying to switch everything up. That impressed me more than anything honestly, how they paid attention to the minute quality of life details. Compared to other headphones I've tried in the same range, excluding the Sony XMs, I'd say these are very well priced and outdo the predecessors as well as the competition. But even compared to Sony XMs, which are prices $100 to $150 more, the sound on the Surface Headphones 2 are definitely comparable. I certainly don't think you'll be saying "I'm really glad I spent that extra $100+ on these Sony XMs".

I would have no problem recommending these to anyone trying to figure out what to spend their next stim check on!
