PLAYLIST SHUFFLE TAG!

Okay, so @viterbofangirl tagged me in this and I need to start learning to post my own shit, so what the hell, why not?

Rules: you can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to! put your favorite playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 15 songs, then tag 10 people. no skipping!

(I couldn’t stop at 10 so I added 5 more, sue me)

I have very random music taste and I listen to my music on shuffle alot, so I made a playlist of the ones I like the most (that way I don’t hafta skip 150 songs to get to the one I feel like) so I’m gonna use that one.

1) History of Violence - Theory of a Deadman

Hoo boy starting off light huh?.... Yeah so, I was in the drive thru at Sonic when I first heard this on the radio and was immediately like “holy shit”. Instead of like metaphors and poetic subtlety, it’s just straight up like “here’s a poor abused woman who resorted to murdering her shitty boyfriend/husband cuz she couldn’t take it dum dum dum”. Even though the actual situation is not the same, this song is perfect for getting across the internal issues and turmoil of my character Mikey. Its so perfect I’m even planning to animate something for it...... if I ever get around to learning animation that is.....

2) The Vengeful One - Disturbed

Two songs in and I look kinda emo.... But hey this song is soooooo cathartic! I love me a good heavy rock song, and the drums and electric guitar are perfect for my ears to absorb. This song gives off a feeling of overwhelming power mixed with a coldness and disdain for the bad in the world. Obviously, thats not my usual temperment, but its an interesting one to explore! Especially when I’m trying to get into the head of characters that exude that like my OCs Spark or Ryu. Plus its fun to sing in the car X)

3) Enter Sandman - Metallica

Okay this one is just a classic! Same thing with the drums and guitar they both slap SOOOOO GOOD. I don’t really associate this song with any of my characters or fandom favorites, but it DOES give me a super strong urge to learn the drums. EXXXXXXXXIT LIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! OFF TO NEVER NEVERLAND!!

4) We Are Giants - Lindsey Stirling ft. Dia Frampton

I don’t really to listen to music by band or artist, but I LOVE Lindsey Stirling!!! She’s probably my favorite musician! This is such a good song, especially for someone like me. Its a positive song that talks about feeling alone in a crowd and unimportant to the world, but how you really do matter and shouldn’t be afraid to dream big and shoot for the stars. It really speaks to me and the vocalization is so good (especially for singing), not to mention the official music video is animated and AMAZING!

5) Cetus - Lensko NCS

I dunno if anyone knows this song, but damn its good. Its one of those Royalty-Free songs that people look up for their channels, which is how I found it in the first place, but I loved it immediately. Its a peppy 8-bit electronic bop that turns a little Irish jig at the end and honestly I think if I ever start an animation channel I’m totally gonna use it! (Also go support Lensko he make good beats!)

6) Sanctuary - Utada Hikaru

I did not grow up with Kingdom Hearts, and only played KH2 within the past year n’ a half. But good God, the moment that Cinematic Opening came on and this song started playing I swear I astral projected into a daze of feelings without names. I know that “Simple and Clean” is the quintessential Kingdom Heart song that gives everyone feelings, but IMHO Sanctuary blows it out of the water. As beautiful as the animation was, or how curious the occasional backwards lyrics are, or how weird it is having high-res Goofy and Donald in what is essentially an anime opening, I really can’t be distracted from this song when I play.

7) Chemical Plant Zone (Rock Remix) - Zerobadniks

Chemical Plant Song is like, one of the TOP Sonic songs by popular vote (and we know how awesome the Sonic series is musically so thats saying something!), but I could never quite vibe with the normal 8-bit version. I think I first heard this as someone’s ringtone and was immediately like “THATS PERFECT THATS EXACTLY HOW I NEED IT!”. The rock makes the song soooo much better and honestly gives the song the perfect vibe. Unfortunately, it took FOREVER to find cuz none of the Rock Covers of this song were the right one. In fact, tbh, I’m not even sure whether Zerobadniks is the correct artist..... that’s just who everybody was crediting when I found it.

(imma include the link i found since its a little hard to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqJiZEM6aPI )

8) The Wolf - SIAMES

YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEOS???? THIS IS A GOD-TIER ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO. I found the video first, and seriously, if you haven’t seen it YOU NEED TO!!! The beat works perfectly with the images on screen and the story being portrayed is really intriguing, with the lyrics adding to atmosphere without necessarily describing the visuals shown. Even without the animation, the song itself is a banger. It bring to mind the feeling of intense motion forward, but unable to decide whether its movement TOWARD something or AWAY from something. I love listening to this on a nighttime drive.

9) Burn the House Down - AJR

If you ask me, the best way to make a pop song better is to add either violins or trumpets. For this song, it was definitely the trumpets that first caught my attention, and the rest of the song kept me listening. I don’t really know how to describe the vibe of this song, and I don’t have a specific character or story in mind when I listen to it, so its a little hard for me to talk about it. I think the best way I can describe this song and what draws me to it is a feeling of nonchalant go-with-the-flow attitude to shenaniganry. Almost an undertone of “We’re hooligans in a situation that we probably should get out of, but hey we’ve got life and each other so why worry?” At least that’s the closest I can get to a verbal description heh...

10) Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb to Hell - The Offspring

DANCE, FUCKER, DANCE, LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN!!!

So this also has a KICKASS animated music video, but its technically combined with the song “Dividing by Zero”. Now the video works SO well with both, and the shifting artstyles reflect the differing tones of the songs PERFECTLY. However, I have a preference for both the animation and the song on the Slim Pickens half. Its fun to listen to and sing at the top of your lungs and its SO CATHARTIC. Again I cant really describe what my head does when I hear it, but I think you can probably feel a similar vibe if you watch the music video.

11) No Heaven - DJ Champion

The first time I finished the original Borderlands, I had been playing for days on end, had just finished a long battle with the Destroyer, and sitting back relieved to have beaten it and reflecting on how much I had enjoyed the adventure. Then this song started playing. For what I believe was forty minutes this song looped on my TV while the credits rolled. By the time the credits finished I was pulling up the song to listen to again! What an absolutely PERFECT cherry to add to this experience. This song perfectly encapsulated the chaotic, trigger-happy, morally ambiguous craziness that I had enjoyed and absorbed in this game. Every time I hear it now, I imagine myself in the wastelands of Pandora, driving haphazardly across the sandy dunes as my companions and I shoot and blow up everything in sight. You know, living the dream.......

12) Hit & Run (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) - The Electric Swing Circus

I fucking LOVE electro-swing! The electronic beats and rhythm blend so well with the wild and energetic freedom of swing. A lot of electro-swing gives me a vibe of wild movement, reckless abandon, and freedom from constraint. I think this song melds all of these feelings the best! As the last song might have indicated, despite my general nice and sweet temperament, there is a part of me deep down that is an absolute gremlin secretly enamored with chaos, insanity, and a general disdain for law and authority X). But whereas anything Borderlands related has a more “morality is an illusion blowing shit up is real” air about it, this song is far more peppy. More of a “good-hearted but insane” type of chaos, like an 100mph car chase where you end up sailing over the train tracks JUST as the train passes.

.... I may have gotten a bit off track lol

13) Kickstart my Heart - Motley Crue

I love this song, but I have to be VERY careful when and where I listen to this. I love songs that make me feel like I’m going a million miles per hour, like I’m gotdam Sonic the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, I may or may not have had multiple instances of listening to this song in the car and abruptly realizing that I’m going like 15mph above the speed limit...... So yeah, regardless of absolutely perfect it feels to play this song while speeding down a nearly empty highway, please be careful and drive responsibly!!!

14) I’m Born to Run - American Authors

Imma just up and say it. This song is a Sonic song; like not like actually from the series but a song for the character. This song encapsulates Sonic as a character better than some of his ACTUAL THEMES (and remember Sonic music are bangers!). Its a song about freedom, living life as it comes, and not letting anything slow you down. Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t make this song FOR the Sonic series, or even the movie! Speaking of which, ironically I heard this song right after watching the Sonic movie in theaters, so yeah there’s no way I can associate it with anything else.

15) Opa Opa - Antique

Oh, what a PERFECT way to end this list! This may be one of my absolute favorite songs of all time! I don’t remember exactly how I found this song... I think I had just relistened to Dalar Mehndi’s “Tunak Tunak Tun” and was looking for other catchy non-english songs and BOY HOWDY I found one! I know nothing about the band or what the song’s about (its in greek and i dont speak it), but this song is just a masterpiece of retro, pop, and dance sounds. This song feels like the musical and lyrical manifestation of dance and movement. I really REALLY wish I could dance JUST so I can express how happy and free this song makes me feel! This is the BEST song for me to end this list with!

***********************************************************************************

JESUS, this got long..... Sorry about that XD. It was fun though, and hopefully somebody was vaguely interested in my ramblings.

Guess I need to tag people now?

SHIPWEEK - DAY 1

Welcome to ShipWeek!

Today it's my turn to write a fluff oneshot for LevYaku - You will find an angsty one at Squishy's blog @how-to-voleebol!

I've been inspired by the headcanons for LevYaku that I posted a few days ago. If you read them, you might know what I'm talking about.

One hint: It's going to be fluffy! Metaphorically and literally ;)

-----

Witty Whiskers | Lev x Yaku

(1038 words)

-----

Sometimes Yaku highly doubted that his boyfriend had ever left the mental age of a toddler. For example in situations like this.

"Lev, no. We're not going to keep this cat."

It was his tenth time repeating this sentence as the other one didn't mean to listen to him. Instead he made his puppy eyes while playing with a tiny kitten in their apartment.

He pouted: "But it's soooooo cute. And since I've found it, I can keep it, right?"

Usually they would sit at the couch now and enjoy their weekly movie night. These plans had been crashed as soon as Lev had entered the door with a fluffy bundle in his hands.

"That's not the point. We're bringing it to a pet shelter because it's the best for him", the older man insisted.

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Yaku looked down at the grey-haired one, who continued petting the cat.

It literally was a picture for the gods and he would love to take a picture of it. But he had to stay strong right now.

"Her."

A question mark appeared on his face: "What?"

"The kitten is a she and her name is Fruit Loops", Lev explained with his mouth forming a big grin.

As Yaku raised one of his eyebrows, he didn't know whether he should adore his boyfriend's cuteness or slam his head against a wall.

Despite his own rather sceptical reaction the giant did stop smiling at him. How could he have fallen that much for such an idiot?

In the meantime the cat had walked over to Yaku's legs, where it placed itself on one of his feet.

Quietly purring it seemed like it had fallen asleep only a few moments later. Most adorable trap ever. Not even Yaku in his rage-mode would dare to wake it up.

"Awwwwww, she likes you!", his boyfriend cheered halfly-whispering at the sight of him being caught at the spot.

Yaku sighted.

He would totally regret the following words at some point: "Since it's already pretty late, Fruit Loops can stay for a night. One night and you take care of her."

Within thirty minutes his boyfriend really managed to organize all the important things. Well, with some help of a specific occupied boy.

Lev ran to their neighbors that owned three cats to ask for some cat food, built a bed out of pillows and set up a bowl filled with water.

Meanwhile the brown-haired one didn't stir and was still standing the middle of the leaving.

Fruit Loops preferred to rest on Yaku's foot, not moving an inch.

After a long day at work the human was craving for laying on the couch or just going to bed. But he didn't know what to do.

Because his legs slowly began to feel tired, he chose the less frustrating option.

"Leeeeeeev?", he whispered to make his boyfriend appear around the corner. "Help me, please."

Pointing down to the fluffy ball named after Lev's favorite cereals, he gave him a sign to remain silent.

But it was to no avail as the giant immediately wheezed about Yaku asking for help, especially because of something as innocent as a little stray kitten.

For some seconds the so-called saviour disappeared again to come back with his phone in his hands without Yaku noticing it.

Though he could have sworn that he had seen a flash before the grey-haired boy started to type at his screen.

About a minute later, that they both had spent awkwardly starring at each other, Lev's phone buzzed. Someone was totally enjoying his situation.

Expecting the worst, the cat's preferred human raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms for the second time. What did he do now?

"Oh hey, Kuroo-san!" - Dear god, everyone but not him!

Even though he noticed Yaku rolling his eyes and mouthing him to cancel the call, the enormous toddler went on.

"Yeah, that's our cat, Fruit Loops!"

He could hear his former classmate laughing in the distance. Funny, very funny.

Before his boyfriend had the opportunity to spill more rumors, Yaku interrupted him: "I told you to help me. Not to spread the news that we are owning a cat now!"

And he instantly knew that he had made a mistake with choosing his words.

"I'll call you later, Kuroo-san. WE ARE OWNING A CAT NOW!"

As he saw Lev practically running at him, he tried to prevent the worst by automatically picking up the little kitten and mentally preparing himself for what was about to happen.

The moment their bodies touched, the nice invention called balance had left for vacation. And they ungracefully landed on the ground.

"Ouch," the smaller one, that was laying below the taller man, groaned.

Despite his hurting back Nekoma's former libero couldn't be angry with his brightly smiling love.

"We are going to keep her, right? Right?!"

The quiet meow from his hands sounded like the same question for him. After looking at Lev and at their guest, he sighed.

He had known Fruit Loops for an hour, but if she got hurt, Yaku would personally kill someone. She already had her own place in his heart.

So he agreed.

Surprisingly Lev didn't scream or cheered or did something else, which would have caused a lot of noise. He chose a silent way to express his gratefulness.

At first just slightly brushing Yaku's lips with his own, they soon ended up in a more passionate kiss.

After a short while Lev sank down next to his boyfriend. Both laying at the floor the kitten made its way to rest in between the two warm bodies.

"I love you." - "I love you too, Lev." - Meow.

The day had started with them just being a couple, but only a few hours later they had turned into a family of three.

At that evening Lev didn't call back Kuroo as they all fell asleep right on the spot they were at.

Never had sleeping on the ground been more comfortable. Just because they were together, the three of them.

If Fruit Loops had been able to, she would have taken a picture of her new owners snuggling and holding onto each other.

She couldn't have wished for a more loving home.

I kind of feel like I messed up this one, sorry! But I promise to improve within this week (^o^)
