[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

yknow i enjoy tedependent as much as the next guy, and i get the temptation, i truly do, but i think implying or outright saying trent imploded his career and told the truth about giving up his source only or mainly because he had romantic feelings for ted takes away from what actually happened there?? like. him being willing to throw away his career and in such a spectacular way (not just quitting but actually probably fucking his chances of working further as a journalist at all, i gather) wasn't necessarily a rom-com moment in the sense that it was for ted or about his feelings for ted alone. it was about himself, his own growing dissatisfaction with the toxic world of sports journalism and the kind of writing he was doing, the desire for "something deeper". that's not to say there's no tedependent take on this, or that hypothetical feelings for ted couldn't or didn't play a role. but like, it's also about his own character development, even if it is driven by ted (as many of the characters' developments are)

#it is true that it might not have happened had it been someone else #but not necessarily like. #the potential romantic feelings and this stem from the same thing (ted being ted) but like #one doesnt cause the other #does that make sense? #like. ted (being... well‚ ted) inspires trent to be better #and the situation being that trent was basically put in the position where he had to hurt someone he both respects and like #clearly just likes as a person (romantically or not) is what made him apparently finally decide enough was enough #(AFTER writing the article‚ notably‚ so that might lend credence to the idea of trent choosing to be the one to write it #in order to make it somewhat kinder--however you feel about that) #anyway all this to say i do love tedependent though and it's also extremely funny if like #trent is explaining this to a family member or smth like 'and i just. being put in that position where i have to hurt someone i respect #someone i genuinely like and think is a good person. that just really gave me some perspective #on how i've been dissatisfied with my work and my job for a while. and i think i want something deeper #something more meaningful and fulfilling. something i can truly be proud of' you know all dramatic moving soundtrack #and then the music cuts and they're like #'hm and also your big embarrassing gay crush on him?' and hes like '[sigh] yes and also my big embarrassing gay crush on him.' #what if i made this a silly little oneshot. what then #trent crimm

New Onesided!Radiostatic scenario just dropped thanks to me listening to musicals that just so happen to have Christian Borle in them: What if during their friendship, back when Vox wasn't quite an overlord yet but rising the ranks, Alastor took him to Rosie's emporium for a wardrobe makeover. In a "Clothes make the man" or "Presentation is vital to any self respecting overlord" kinda way and just wanting to help out his friend.

Basically the song "Take it like a man" from the Legally Blonde musical happening except cut all the parts where you see Elle clearly reciprocating his feelings and like checking him out in the new suit and stuff (Which I low key did here by accident lol) Like Alastor is just trying to be supportive and introduce two of his buddies to one another in one go. Meanwhile Vox is beginning to realize his feelings™ for Alastor and totally misreading the whole situation

#also in case people didn't notice Emmett here looks like he thinks they're gonna kiss but Elle pulls him into a hug #I actually like the idea of Vox being kinda awkward and dorky but gradually grew into his current persona #(that dorkiness is still there though...he still wears a stripped sweater vest) #I guess alastor and rosie did what they could with this wardrobe makeover but there's only so much they could do #I cut out a whole chunk of the middle but idk if that was a good move or not the parts I kept are honestly the most relevant #radiostatic #radiosilence #onewaybroadcast #staticlovetune #hazbin hotel #musicals #legally blonde the musical #this is what my tired brain came up with and I still feel like I want to post it

[softgrungeprophet]

my kaine playlist is 2 and a half hours long...

okay well actually it's more like—

there's my primary Kaine playlist which is 2 and a half hours long and kind of doubles as a partial Janine playlist (still mostly Kaine but there's bound to be some overlap, all things considered):

and maybe it has some questionable song choices

—

There's my Spider-Man (well, really it's just Peter) playlist which is also 2 and a half hours long and has perhaps what some might call "too much" Blink-182 and pop punk on it:

—

There's a mixtape from Annabelle to Kaine which probably isn't done yet but is 40 minutes long:

—

There's a response from Kaine that he makes after leaving which is 44 minutes long and also probably technically not done yet:

—

There's also a playlist for the "worst year of peter's life" fic-in-progress which is 55 minutes long, probably complete, and which is sort of about Kaine but is also about Peter and in general about the entire situation that they've all been subjected to (including like, Flash's interactions with not-Peter (Ben)) and also a little bit about the past:

—

I don't have a playlist for Ben lol

#00/12 means 2000 / 2012 ftr which are partially related in terms of some of Peter's traumas in the AU #though 2012 specifically is more damaging as far as his long-term mental health goes (gee thanks professor warren) #of course it's not like it's the ONLY factor in his PTSD but it's arguably the most debilitating.... #anyway #nadia rambles #came in through the window last night #if it wouldn't be annoying and time consuming I would make youtube versions of these playlists but. that's a pain in my ass. #music #if i wanted to be truly extra I would restrict the last one to use only songs released prior to 2012 #but i don't feel like doing that #ALTHOUGH if i cut ''go ahead and cry'' ''real boy'' and ''dancing with a ghost'' it would be acceptable for 2012... #but i need the last one as a space filler to cut to ''unchained melody'' and the other two are like thematic #even if they are from 2023 #the mixtapes though—those are indeed only songs from earlier than 2015 (which is the year they are relevant to in the AU) #actually most of the songs on those are from between 1998 and 2007 LOL but i figure that works since annabelle is like... in her 20s #as far as the main big kaine and spider-man playlists i don't bother trying to restrict that by year #both because they're TECHNICALLY more than just AU playlists and also because they are more all encompassing conceptually #so like. they're not for a specific fic set in a specific year. so like sure yeah i'll slap whatever on there.

yeah upon more thought. a little worried abt the wicked movie.

#mixed feelings on ariana grande. #i'm not blocking the movie's existence out of my mind anymore at least and im excited that it may have potential to be cool #if they don't fuck it up and the recent movie musicals are not reassuring me that it won't get fucked up #but partially i am hoping that bc its WICKED one of THE musicals of all time that they won't ruin it that much #but either way the movie does LOOK good visually i think #i'm hoping it's just that the teaser was short but glinda's character in particular is really worrying me #specifically as she's played by ariana grande. it looks a bit like she's Conventionally Attractive Sophisticated Woman (by 2024 standards) #rather than the bubbly obnoxious sociable and honestly immature (at least in the beginning) character she is in the musical #maybe i'm just worrying too much bc the trailer IS short and honestly seems to just show hype for #the Big Dramatic scenes mostly #eh. it's a commercial. of course they're gonna show the hype stuff. #just deeply deeply hoping they don't fuck this up bc i love wicked with my entire being and i would hate for it to be a shitty movie #bluebird.txt #also if they cut march of the witch hunters i will riot #actually ill riot if they cut any single song #you're making this musical into a two part movie. You Can Afford To Put Every Song In There. #don't be cowards please let this movie actually be good 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #wicked

the scene in yakuza 5 where shinada and milky dance on the roof talking about how they should run away and start over in a new town with new jobs and new lives, only for milky to abruptly stop and let shinada go when she gets called back downstairs to work, while shinada is sent stumbling by suddenly being let go until he too comes to a stop, burns a hole in my brain

#rambles #yakuza #yakuza liveblogging #like man. MAN. that shit hits home #milky saying 'i wanna be a teacher this time- that was my dream as a kid!' #and shinada replying 'you can! nothings stopping you! you can start over!' with a tone that borders on hysterical #he's so desperate to believe it's possible because in that moment he can see it- he sees his way out #for a moment he's blind to all the things that have kept him from doing exactly what he's proposing every other time he's considered it #hes trapped in a glass house- he can see freedom but knows he cant reach it. but for a moment he lets himself forget the glass is there #but milky doesnt. she thinks hes being cute and plays along but as soon as she lets him go the music cuts and the moment is gone. #reality comes crashing back down- they're not going anywhere. #and i mean. idk if this is a common/universal experience but ive had many a late night where ive done exactly the same thing #fantasized about quitting my job/going back to school/finding some means of self employment/moving somewhere totally new #and ive had those fleeting moments where i could see it- i could see how i could make it work #or i could see that there's nothing *physically* stopping me from doing any of those things #and if i could just sum up enough courage i could do anything i wanted with my life #but then i wake up the next day and that vision is gone. #i cant see outside the glass house anymore- i can only see the reflection of the inside. #tl;dr i should revisit y5- the writers were cooking and i didnt take enough time to savor it #(esp not the shinada section bc i hated his combat style lol)

[colorfuldream]

Say all you want about the Shiver hate but the funniest thing is that people are making those stories addressing the hate with one character feeling so bad for poor Shiver because people are upset at her and the game iykyk

Especially if they include the "I'm so strong and protective" bit only to "subvert" our expectations with the character being upset FOR her and not AT her

Straight up hilarious, can't believe we're doing this unironically

Anyway yeah I'm salty too that she keeps winning and the Splatfests should be regional again but let's be real, this isn't gonna change and we all knew it was gonna happen when we saw the initial reaction for her. Being salty won't change anything, it's time to accept it y'all

#splatoon #Splatoon 3 #frye splatoon #shiver splatoon #big man splatoon #splatfest #ondina's text posts! #we're not making it outta this one lol #the most frustrating thing to me is that she gets over 50% every time and that the fests are only every 2 months so there'll be less to #balance out her win streak #the events feel more unique and special but it makes it worse yk #also her character is arrogant (for the wrong reasons lol) which is fine but it doesn't help when she just keeps winning #just kinda upsets already salty people and makes people like her less #legit when are we getting drama the dialogue is so stale #they've got a great setup for some arguments à la Squid Sisters Fest #I mean Frye getting barely 10% every time... Let her be angry since they're all flawed and we know she's the explosive type who voices her #frustrations #also did y'all notice that Big Betrayal had a second chorus and they didn't show us?! I wanna know what they said... #music popped off ngl it sucks that nintendo doesn't give a damn about Deep Cut #Daybreaker Anthem had NO RIGHT to be confined as a lowly lobby song

[hella1975]

this isn't meant to like. make you give your opinion on Discourse™️ or anything I just wanted to ask, but I keep seeing people upset about taylor dating mr. 1975 and I can't figure out if it's bc he's a terrible person or just a greasy alcoholic 😭😭😭 do you know what's up with that guy??? like on one hand I like not knowing things about celebs and I should keep it that way. but also

i, unfortunately, do know what's up with that guy and it's that he's said something problematic about every faction of society at least once. for me i have some weird, reluctant fondness for him because he is just a train wreck and he's such a twat all the time that at least it's nondiscriminating, and i also like that when he sings about mental illness it's bc he's actually BEEN THERE and been publicly a mess bc of it and been addicted to drugs and acted like a dick, and he ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, but also at no point am i gonna jump on the 'he's an amazing person' parade bc generally he is just a sleazy idiot. it is weird watching people suddenly dragging up every single thing he's ever said to be like 'look! this is why he's bad for our tay tay!' when the running joke with matty healy is that he's just a prick. like u dont need to expose his moral fibre. u can just say he's a prick. and also as funny as the jokes are she's still a grown woman who's been around the block a few times when it comes to dating. i think she will be okay maybe

#idk that's just what i think though. like he's been cancelled more times than he has songs and yet a lot of us are still here #and he acknowledges it like there's a running gag at his live shows where he goes to say a very explosive sentence and then he gets cut off #by the band with a random song it's so funny. like he'll go 'i just think that immigrants- *LOUD GUITAR*' & i think that's a part of it too #is that a lot of people don't get that sometimes he's being ironic? he takes it too far and these days he's annoying #but idk ive seen certain instances where im like. that went over so many people's heads #idk i just dont think he's Evil and Malicious i think he's just a prick. like people can just be pricks even if they're super famous. wild #he's so fucking pretentious but he got famous for being REAL and his music has helped a lot of people because of how real it was #like i made a post a while ago about his song 'give yourself a try' and how the concept of it is literally #'life is a little bit shit to be quite honest with you and you WILL get fucked over by it and fuck yourself over but you're here anyway #so you might as well give it a go' like???? so many mental health ballads are like 'the world is So Beautiful and So Are You' #but matty healy ALWAYS has gone actually it isnt and you arent. whatever though #and i just really like that #ask #also big disclaimer that i dont have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the dumb shit matty healy has said ive just been listening #to the band for a while and have picked shit up along the way. if it turns out he's done some actually reprehensible shit that ive missed #then that's literally bc i do not actively run in 1975 circles and do not intend to ever start <3 so dont yell at me LMAO

STRANGER THINGS — 4.01: the hellfire club

#m #gifs #long post #this post is literally too long but u know what. don't care. didn't ask. #anyway. in the hot version of st that lives in my mind where billy survives #we get like. a parallel type of cut scene here. with max in her school mandated counseling session #then billy in his hospital mandated therapy session #and it cuts between them both #max fidgeting with her headphones. billy tearing what's left of his nails apart. #both being unable to sit still. #them both being stubburn and holding every single fucking emotion so deep inside that they know it'll never see the light of day #both their answers mirroring each other even when they're like. fucking miles apart and have barely spoke since everything happened #like they've seen each other. max basically lives at the hospital. but billy's throats fucked. and max isn't really the chatty type #and they honestly don't even know what to say to each other #so max just sits. reads comics. listens to music. and billy just lies there. prays for death. prays to visit the fucking ocean again. #and they don't talk. but they're there for each other and they Get It in the only way they know how #OR. the au where neil was possessed and both him and susan die #billy and max having to go to see the councelor. fuckin family counseling sessions. or seperate i guess #is billy still in school? i dont actually understand american ages and schooling it has to be said #but like. councelor kelley just being like. wow. they sure are siblings. #okay but if he's not in school then like. court mandated therapy sessions for legal guadian custody of max idk #i just think i would like to see the parallels that couldve been. but like. #sadie sink i owe you my life for making season four have some good scenes and i would die for u #maxmayfieldedit #max mayfield #anyway again this is not the scene i set out to gif. just made like 30 gifs of a scene i didnt even intend on giffing. fuck me

Her lyricism is one of the best ever no matter what she's talking about, she has the gift of knowing exactly what words to use and amazing allusions too, which is a very hard skill; once you get in with the funny sex songs you really feel it on her serious music like A.U.T.I.S.M. , Picking Cotton, and Pedophile talking about serious issues

#im floptropican adjacent bc it's all so fucking funny #i would've included a few jiafei remixes too but that's doing too much lmao #the cupcakke remixes are so good i don't even see them as funny videos as much anymore- they're like regular music if not better #i can still laugh at them but i will also put them on just to dance or while doing something to bop #in a lot of cases actually i think the remixes ppl like Ranpapi make outdo the original song COMPLETELY #i wish i could edit audio like these people do #the editing is immaculate i can only imagine the hours it takes to cut and render after rewriting entire songs while staying on key #the Moonlight Sunrise cupcakke remix is hilarious too every time i forget abt the line 'Balls out on the table what you say?' & scream #AND THE FLOWER BY JISOO REMIX TOO JDUDHD- 'A B C i slurp the D' one of the best remix lines EVER

#there's only 2. 1 is a pair of sparkly clay circles that look like a cemetery at night #and the 2nd are wood cut/acrylic + the wood cut top half has lasered crime scene tape #and the bottom acrylic half is attached by jump rings and has splotches of fake blood #i also have plastic skulls i got when i worked at michaels in hs. they were supposed go to light up but only 1 does. they're soo big #inventing a new aesthetic/music subculture called goofy goth or mom goth #when you're a silly little guy who likes Halloween and blood + gore + i listen to the monster mash all year long #+ Halloween clothing/decor is my year-round look

#SBFKJDFJSKFKDJFKJKDHFKJSKFDJGKDJGKDJGKFBGLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #oh yeah! i remember that one! :D #though it does kinda play into the idea i've had that like. SEKAI is built on emotions so sometimes like #the virtual singers will reflect the bad ones too. it's more likely to come from miku rin and len since they're all the youngest but like #going into your SEKAI while you feel like shit Can be counterproductive. most of the time you'll receive comfort but sometimes . #the virtual singers will (unintentionally) play off of your bad feelings and digging deeper into the wounds instead of soothing them #like len reminding toya of the time he and akito almost fell out of each other's lives and he almost went back to classical music #for NO REASON #or like. a hypothetical scenario for you: #mizuki: *in the empty sekai talking about their plans to organize a hangout with the rest of n25* #rin: why are you bothering when you're so sure they'll hate you someday. wouldn't it be less painful to cut all your ties now. #mizuki: H #and in my akitoya fic that's what miku did with akito for like 2 seconds #LIKE IT'S NOT A MALICIOUS THING they're just kind of echoing the emotions and thoughts they sense from the kids #because they Know it needs to be addressed but they don't know how to do it like. delicately. #it's why in most of the SEKAIs one of the Older virtual singers is present #as funny as miku therapy is she's still 16. she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. #left to their own devices she and rin and len would make everything 18385948595845958x worse 👍🏾

I need to write Hitomi and Bill's friendship soon or I will die

#Hayley Writes Triangulum #I will probably die because it doesn't come in until way later but augh #I wanna write them being the most cursed besties of all time #He's her most specialest blorbo and he loves it when people show him in attention so they should NOT be in the same room together #They will eventually be in the same room together #They're basically the platonic version of the Red Flags music video #She'd make funny little edit videos of him all while he's watching over her shoulder and telling her which filters to use #She's GOING to cut off his arm one day for scientific study- #-and the only reason he's against it at all is because he will be in a very specific scenario- #-the blood loss could actually kill him for realsies #When Ford tries to warn her about Bill's trickery she's just like 'It's fine uwu If he tries anything I'll just kill him~' #Ford has no comeback to this. That's a lie; he has so many comebacks but he has no idea where to start #Although in his defense; she IS aware of how dangerous he is #But also she was raised in a two-bit circus full of weirdos and dangerous people #She knows how to handle herself around people who could potentially kill her #The perks of being a surgeon is that you become VERY acquainted with human anatomy and how it works #And what makes it STOP working #Part of the reason she gets so interested in the anatomy of the supernatural is because she already knows so much about ours #But to truly conquer any fears of the unknown #She must make it known to herself and learn everything she possibly can #ANYWAY she originally started as a Toko/Mikan mashup character as a way to fill the numbers but I've really grown attached to her as an OC #She's so sillay
