(i already did one for hair so i'm taking more about the concept and what they wore)

#i hate married to the music era because i feel like it was such a good concept but the stage outfits are so cheesy #but the actual album did it so well #but i also hate juliette like what was with the bugs?? and key's sunglasses #but but also i hate lucifer cause like why did they put tape on their faces and said it was about robots?? #but like lucifer is so a product of its time idk if i can say that about like juliette and mttm #shinee #shawol #taemin #jonghyun #key #minho #onew #tumblr polls

[jimlingss]

two years!! :D it’s been two years since my final curtain call and seven years since Jimlingss began! Seven years!!! Now that’s a crazy yet meaningful number!

Hello to everyone reading this message :D hopefully you remember me (it’s ok if you don’t) and for those who care, hopefully this is a treat! just a quick update on my life — I successfully completed my first year of law school and what a whirlwind it’s been. 

I’ve had so many ups and downs in the past year and I honestly feel like I’ve changed a lot. like evolved from pichu to pikachu. It was my first time moving away from home, away from my parents, and making so many friends. it’s been 20% bitter and 80% sweet. overall, I feel like I’ve learnt so much about myself and became a lot more stable in who I am.

school is hard but completely manageable. luckily, I don’t think my choice was wrong. there are days I quite enjoy what I’m learning. I got 2 years left in the game. soon (hopefully) I’ll be making the big bucks $$$ and I’ll be able to fund my sugar baby dreams (except I’ll also be my own sugar mommy). Although my dating life is as stale as always with 0 movement, I’ve become close with a handful of folks that I hold dearly to my heart. guess I’m in my friendship arc hahahaha

funny enough, I actually came back to this blog out of my own volition 2 weeks ago and re-read some of my stories. I feel so nostalgic. some of my stories really slap ngl. anyway, I really miss creative writing so much. Fortunately, there’s a few extracurriculars at school that allow me to write creatively so it’s somewhat of an outlet for me. it’s not fully satisfying but it’s something!!

I regularly come back to tumblr to check messages and do plagiarism checks lol. Speaking of which, I’ll take this time to answer some messages in my inbox.

unfortunately, i don’t have any socials that anyone can follow me on. my socials are pretty private and only the people who i’m close to, I follow and vice versa. but no worries because I will always come back to this blog to do a yearly update so you’ll hear from me! I will satiate your curiosity if you’re every curious about what I’m up to!!

for anyone who ever messages me compliments to my stories and/or missing my presence, no worries, I read them all :) your messages and feedback is never lost! it’s very sweet and always warms my heart.

if you can’t reach my masterlist, it’s here lol

I’ve kind of fallen off my fic reading game so if you ask me if I know a specific fic, I won’t be much of help unfortunately ://

if my fics ever help you through hard times, then I’m super glad!!! life can undoubtably be downright terrible. life can really really suck (understatement). but I think it’s comforting to know that everyone at some point thinks the same. it’s a universal sentiment - and in that, you’re not alone.

anyway, that’s it for now! you’ll hear from me again!

I’ll be back! And I hope you will too! :>

#also more updates I guess - I did indeed travel to Japan this year! #it was a blast #in terms of the book writing process #my brain has not been operating in that way so I still am at a standstill #I actually had a dream recently that I couldn't even write a poem #hahaha my book writing dreams haven't died tho - I'LL DO IT ONE DAY #on another note - I haven't been keeping up with BTS that much #other than knowing that Jin and Hoseok have headed off to the army #which imo is a good thing cause that makes us one day closer to an ot7 album again #also Jimin's solo slaps #Like Crazy and Alone are on my playlist woooo #what bangers #I hope everyone has been doing well #I am manifesting success and money and love for everyone who reads this WOOOOOOOOOO #Jimlingss

feeling a deep sense of grief about the loss of barve oceana all of a sudden

#i only learned to appreciate it post stozice album and since then it's become so near and dear to me 🥹 #i never loved her while she was here ... </33 #if they never play it again (dramatic of me but im catastrophising) i'll actually cry 🥹 #where did all the fun songs go ....🥹 i need a song to grin and giggle wildly to #no barve oceana no ssol no joy no whimsy what am i supposed to DO!!! #oh well i suppose i'll have to settle for tokio 💔💗 #vee rambles

words can’t express how much i love him, his courage and fearlessness of expression in everything he creates is pure magic 🖤

#this is his day and he deserves ALL the love and appreciation in the world #what did i even do with my life before i found this man’s music?? #at the time of posting i actually haven’t sat down and listened to omb yet because i’m still super ill with covid #and don’t want to associate miles’s new album with that lol #but the little cd/t-shirt/signed print pack arrived today and god did it cheer me up just seeing it #these photos from the booklet are just my absolute favourite 💗 #i can’t wait until i’m well enough to listen to the album properly #i know it’s going to destroy me in the best way possible #i’ve literally been so excited for this moment for months and the singles off it he’s already released are some of my favourite songs ever #so so proud of him and everything he’s done to make this beautiful music and infinitely grateful to him for sharing it with us 💜 #miles kane #one man band #lulu posts

no because what if clancy ends with the reintroduction of blue to the theme colors… since the reason blue was taken out was bc it wasn’t a part of blurryface’s character, and it’s been absent since then… having thoughts

#well i mean okay. there was blue in sai but i don’t think that counts #it was a very different shade of blue #sorry i was rewatching the guns for hands mv and felt nostalgic #twenty one pilots #clancy album #tøp #on one hand i don’t think this will actually happen #but wouldn’t it be SO COOL if it did… #especially with that whole theory that clancy is erasing bf #which would in turn allow blue to be a part of the pallet again #i’m eating the walls

[skrunksthatwunk]

sometimes you need to go back and listen to the music you liked when you were 13 because it's good for you. and no im not talking about like emo nostalgia in this case we have enough posts about that. im talking about dad rock. actually im just talking about barenaked ladies

#idk if i'd call barenaked ladies dad rock per se but every once in a while i'll hear a song and go MAN. I REMEMBER THAT #i had so many oc animatics in my head about this one.... #anyway skrunk lore moment but i had a really intense bnl phase for like 8 months in early middle school which explains a lot about 13 y/o me #in a neutral way but like. yeah. anyway go listen to box set for me. #you don't have to listen to anything else even though i still have a great fondness for a lot of it bc it's one of those things where it's #so familiar to me that i don't even know if i think it's good or not. but box set goes hard and i'll stand by that #in the car and hello city and i'll be that girl and spider in my room AND CALL ME CALMLY and blame it on me and alternative girlfriend and #the flag and when i fall and the king of bedside manor and am i the only one.... ohgh #AND YES IT'S BASIC BUT IF I HAD $1000000 IS COZY. IT'S CUTE OK #OH and it's all been done for all your immortal/reincarnation ship needs. well. a certain vibe anyway #and alcohol. and OH MY GOD I FORGOT JANE. AND INTERMITTENTLY and break your heart.... waaaaaaa #man they have way way more albums than i thought they had #i can only really speak for gordon born on a pirate ship and maybe you should drive actually but. i like those #or i Did like them. havent relistened but even looking at the titles is making me giggly like... i forgot some of these #ALSO SHOEBOX IS A FRIENDS SONG?? WHUH? #or maybe it was used in friends? idk. no thoughts on friends but they did music for just the dumbest shit. ignore that for me please #ANYWAY. going to go listen to all of that now bc im having a moment. if you listen to it and don't like it um. don't think less of me lol <3

i agree with a lot of music fans and journalists/critics/artists that “lockdown”/“pandemic”/“quarantine” albums usually aren’t great and also don’t do very well, but i do think there is one truly incredible (at least in quality i haven’t looked at numbers and tbh i don’t really care) and maybe not the most obvious exception (well maybe it is obvious but i don’t see this album talked about a lot since like the month it came out and i don’t think i’ve seen it talked about in the conversations about art inspired by covid-19/lockdowns). anyway can we play a little game where you guys guess what album it is (this might help me find more good music or at least music you think i’d like as well as be [hopefully] fun!)

#i would also exclude folklore/evermore and unreal unearth from that statement not just bc i think they’re great but mostly bc i wouldn’t #call them ‘pandemic’ albums #like obviously folklore and evermore were made during that time but only two songs on folklore reference the pandemic/lockdown/isolation and #it’s sort of referenced in the sound in that both of those albums are generally quieter for taylor and that might reflect the actual #emotions of isolation and loneliness but i don’t think the sound necessarily reflects/refers to the actual material conditions of #lockdown or covid-19 #rather folklore/evermore contain just a few lyrical and sonic references to the emotions caused by that situation but again. not as many as #there were initially perceived to be #side note i think actually the most ‘lockdown’ song on folklore or evermore is mirrorball #and i think the reason mirrorball works so well is that despite the fact that both the overall concept of the song and the lyrical content #seem to directly reference covid-19 lockdowns and closures #it (mirrorball) is still extremely relatable #and i think what’s absolutely true about the album i’m referring to in the actual text of the post #is that it is at least mostly very relatable for most people (although probably for women in particular) #and actually i would say that the album im talking about has very similar themes and concepts to mirrorball but translates and expands upon #them into the form of an entire album #ok very long side note over. in terms of unreal unearth not being a lockdown album it’s true that andrew has literally said it’s not one #but also there aren’t even any small lyrical sonic or conceptual references to the pandemic like i mentioned there are a few on folklore #and evermore. #i did watch an interview where andrew says there /might/ be one lyrical reference but i can’t find it (message me if you know what he meant) #i would call unreal unearth something that i think andrew is understandably hesitant to refer to it as #and that is a breakup album #and i think the reasons he’s hesitant to call it that is that sometimes when people say a piece of media is about a breakup they use that to #reduce both the emotions and experiences covered in the work and the quality of the work #but i also think that in music specifically breakup albums are often (not always. often) a seminal important and iconic moment in a career #and are in many cases considered by many to be the best or at least the most iconic albums by an artist #examples of that include Rumours and even Red #congrats if you read all these tags you’re a real champ #i have so much to say about this topic and topics related to it sorry! #love ya and please take a guess

babymetal having 18 mil streams on 'the end' and 2 mil streams on 'metali!!' makes me soooooo happy

yes streams arent everything but it is soo refreshing that theyre gaining new fans everyday esp because of their babyklok tour .. being co-headliner is doing them so good gUYSSS

#i do feel like -the other one- would have done so so well if it werent for the horrible marketing #making everything behind a paywall wasnt the move #and not making music videos (ACTUAL music videos) #only one visualiser for DA and lyric vids #the rest r live performences but with the studio audio :/ #also introducing momo as the newest member a week after the new album WAS SUCH A BAD MOVE GUYS #LIKE we could have had momo singing backup with moa in the album and if they did the whole -new babymetal- thing earlier maybe in january #and then released the album a month later would have been a better move cause they wouldve had so many eyes on them (with momo joining) #didnt mean for this to be a rant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im just glad that it seems as if tho they kicked out their old marketing team #and hired a new one lol #babymetal

[quirkeduptransguy]

YES my username on yt is a blood bros reference :33 i need to go to crimes world again i know in my heart and soul that i love her but i seldom show her attention .. i need to care her more ..

HOOFRAY!!!! also pretty please do!!!!!!! for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#such a good album it is Insane that like. you never really see it talked about outside of certain spaces #and even then it was originally derided for being much less heavy than its predecessors #such a smart album lyrically and even in just like certain songs like peacock skeleton with crooked feathers #which btw is my go-to song to introduce people 2 them #for obvious reasons. the way the vocals play off each other #the keyboard #aforementioned lyrics because man they’re good at writing political lyrics that are simultaneously very pointed and relevant to this day #and also just plain fun. the way they word stuff rolls off the tongue very well #which I suppose is very much in part to Whitney being a very literary guy from what I’ve read up about him #SPEAKING OF!!!!! Jesus Christ the vocals. the vocals #(positive) #very very powerful for a guy who was like…. 21-22 at the time of recording I’d reckon? #I know whitney’s vocals are a turn off for the band for most people but imo? it’s one of the main appeals. 2 me he is like an insanely good #vocalist. almost jealous that he can hit those notes as a cis guy and I can’t cause omfg in like. wolf party near the end #HOW DOES A GUY MANAGE THAT….. #I love how they incorporated elements of other genres in it. like I don’t see them as indie rock like people #for whatever reason #like to describe them as in that album #but you can hear the elements. bringing up wolf party again cause nick zinner did some of the guitar in that and he’s in an indie band no? #yeah yeah yeahs or whatevs. they’re cool seeming I should check ‘em out #ALSO sorry I kind of glossed over Blilie. he’s really fucking good in the album obvs!!!! #pretty sure he did the album art which. omfg it’s had an aesthetic chokehold on me as of late #and also just. he has a nice voice #the sort of warbley thing he has and also his screams… goated #contrary to my posting #I’m actually a bliliegirl I’d consider myself lol. Whitney happens to also have a psychic chokehold on me #this is obvious. I go by Johnny and want to go blonde HMMMMM I WONDER WHY.. #my bad for rambling in tags I just. I love that album so deeply #it’s very meaningful to my identity and songs like the title track and beautiful horses just. get me right at my core #evil neighing compilation

[sad--tree]

kinda assumed ppl were overstating the drums or w/e being Like That on st anger but. oh my god no they. they really are very very much Like That

#idk Music WordsTM but this does not sound. right. help. its so intrusive. #i dont even think the songs are bad! is this what ppl mean when they talk about bad production on an album??? #watching some kind of monster did not prepare me for how these songs actually sound..... #i thought the snippets u hear in the doc sounded fine..... #whats up yall month number two (2) of my mental metallica lockdown :( finally branching in2 some other albums.... #incidentally i enjoyed 72 seasons actually #like. theres nothing really uhh groundbreaking? in it but it was enjoyable! i like it! esp you must burn! and inamorata #my friend said he thought it sounded 'overproduced' and tbh i have ZERO idea what that means when ppl use that as a descriptor for any music #like ive heard plenty of stuff id maybe call UNDERproduced but over?? some1 explain #same friend said he thought james hetfield 'hasnt aged well' and good god if he saw the old men i wanna fuck..... #this friend is Older tho so i dont like. make those kinda comments with him lol it would maybe. be Weird. #anyways i should look up live versions of the st anger songs i wonder if they sound different/better ?

[silverislander]

hm. don't think about it too hard or you'll never sleep a wink at night again don't worry about me and these green eyes mama just know that i love you (and i'll see you when you get here). etc etc

#SUPER normal about preachers daughter jsyk. super normal about it #not the first time ive listened to it i just did a page in my journal abt it so its on my mind again gndfbhjdkf #levi.txt #im doing pages about media that inspires me in different ways and im not sure how to articulate it #but the way she uses different genres of music to tell the story is fucking incredible and always fits the story so well #im a big fan of concept albums to begin with but i feel like she specifically uses genre to do it in such an effective way #starting off with american teenager and the pop sound with the lyrics betraying the story shes actually starting to tell #i have been able to listen to ptolemaea Once (1) because i almost had an anxiety attack. its so well made #on the other hand ive been trying to learn televangelism on piano bc i love it sm and it sounds so peaceful to me #will NEVER stop thinking about sun bleached flies as a praise and worship song. it sounds just like one its perfect #the bridge is so 'hills*ng 7 minute worship team song during the altar call' to me (is projecting)

[totallysora]

This song has an actual death grip rn on me it’s unreal

#Literally the whole album does #This musical deserved better #The west end version did so well but the og bway one just flopped 😕 #JEREMY JORDANN 🥰 #Ok but he actually played clyde so well like?? #Spotify #Not him making be fall in love with a mf outlaw #jeremy jordan #bonnie and clyde #everytime I hear this my name suddenly become bonnie parker #I’m seeing b&c during its uk tour 🤭 BUT I DONT GET TO SEE ALEX AS CLYDE 😔 #Broadway #theatre #bonnie and clyde musical #His voice in this is just so 😫 #The west end version is amazing too but u literally can’t beat Jeremy Jordan
