#hes singing abbas thank you for the music btw
Note
1, 7, 11, 20, 30 for the songs ask please
Tumblr media
1. three songs that come up when you put your phone on shuffle
well well, let's see what my liked songs have in store...
Numb Little Bug - Em Beihold (how fitting lol)
Industry Baby - Lil Nas X feat. Jack Harlow (another fave fr)
Rockstar Sea Shanty - Nickelback, The Lottery Winners (preserving the silly)
Anyway yes, a pretty representative trio if i do say so myself.
7. three songs you didn’t expect to like but eventually loved
Roadtrip - Dream, PmBata
yeah yeah a Dream song. "loved" might be a strong word here tbh. It gives me feelings of nostalgia but like, for something I never experienced myself.
Beh - Korben Dallas
When I encountered this one for the first time, I saw it just as a quality track I didn't really understand... then I re-discovered it in my final year of high school and i Understood.
just about any Ghost song
Around 18 months ago, I saw an unknown-to-me band being described as "metal for people who don't like metal" and, in direct response to that, as "scooby doo chase music". I didn't expect to find so many of the band's songs Quite Alright, nor did I expect the band to take 1st place in my spotify wrapped. Both of the aforementioned descriptions were correct btw.
11. three favourite songs from movie or TV series soundtrack
So This Is The Famous Suicide Squad - John Murphy
A fairly unremarkable piece of background music, but it made one of my coolest gaming moments ever.
Can't Leave The Night - BADBADNOTGOOD
my guys did NOT have to go that hard in 2014, but they did, and Lockwood and co. got an absolutely banging intro track.
No Big Deal - Brenda Song, Haley Tju, Anna Akana
killer birds and it's no big deal 🪿
riding snails and it's no big deal 🐌
eating flies and it's no big deal 🪰
finally me and it's no big deal 💎
20. three songs that remind you of the person who sends this one
oh that's not hard,
Ghost - Twen- just kidding lol Jesus He Knows Me
ABBA - Dancing Queen
Måneskin - Gossip
30. three songs you really want your followers to know (for reasons other than all those above)
Steel City - Kazzer
i'm not the only one who thinks this song slaps incredibly, right?
Tokyo Calling - ATARASHII GAKKO!
their entire aesthetic is chef's kiss. go listen to them.
Die Biene Maja - Emi Flemming SCHLAGERTECHNO Remix - Emi Flemming, Karel Gott
it doesn't get more outta pocket than a techno remix of the most legendary Czech singer ever singing the theme song of a popular Czech children's cartoon in German. and it also slaps. naturally.
Thank you for the ask <3

SNL is back with Owen Wilson as first host of season 47. Kacey Musgraves is the musical guest. Episode 2 will have a ridic choice for host. Halsey will sing. I suppose $ is power with the Kardashians. I could think of about 10 million other people to host but more and more Lorne goes for the shiny object , what he THINKS people want instead of taking risk. Beck Bennett is out.
*****
Is everybody watching the Amber Ruffin Show?? I loved her before but now… I learn so much from her show. Sometimes it takes a comic to get to the real serious shit. For example: Have you heard of drowning towns? Towns like Oscarville, Kowaliga, York hill, Seneca Village, Prentiss and countless other black towns that were drowned out to make lakes for the local whites. Central Park was also made after a black community was erased from history. Development displacement? Alleyway dwelling authority? Even those rabid for history can find out new things everyday. Thanks Amber!!
*****
Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are finally giving us Peril !!!!!!  I’ve been waiting!!** I was in political nerd heaven on Sept. 24 when Yamiche hosted Robert, Bob and Weijia Jang on Washington Week. All of my favorite pundits all together at one table, my dream team!!

Is this country the master of endless administrative work?  None of us should have been surprised at the red tape that the slowed down the end of the war in Afghanistan.** Uber donated 50k for rides and meals to the Afghans when they arrive.**And why do so many waste taxpayer $ on useless recounts and recalls when people need real help with food and healthcare? They must really hate humanity.

Days Alert: The Beyond Salem thing was ridic but it was so great to see some old characters.  Days is so great at visiting old family. Who can resist Shane, Austin and Carrie, Billie and the old Kristen? I do wish that Peacock would get their kinks out!! Back to the real Days: Are we smelling an Emmy for Susan Seaforth Hayes and Bill?? ** Good to have Abigail back. It is always fun to wonder which actress and or personality it will be. ** Deidre Hall got her star on the walk of fame.**And just in time for Halloween, the Devil is making a comeback. The end of the year in Salem is always the best!! It is so brave to give the 96 year old man the old switcheroo into the Dark Lord.  It was fun to see the grandkids discover Grandma Marlena’s story. Delicious!! Hail Satan!!** It is past time for Tate and Teresa to come back to town. Brady needs to be put in his place. And thanks for the Philip and Chloe flashbacks!!

We wanted a no -nonsense Dem who pushes on and does not puss out.  I am a bit surprised to see we have it. There are so many pressing issues that I hope Biden works a bit more on Haiti though.
*****
The National Police Act was passed to celebrate cops. Still no police reform.
*****
John Mulaney and Olivia Munn are going to have a baby.

The Emmy’s were a little different this year with more of a Golden Globe look.  Cedric the Entertainer hosted with Reggie Watts as DJ. Lots of minority noms but barely a win. It was a white people night. Ted Lasso had a great night. Mare of Eastown took home a few with Evan Peters, Julianne Nicholson and Kate Winslet. Now, Kate is great but how did Anya Taylor- Joy not walk away with that? Queens Gambit did win a couple and gave the longest speech with the seemingly arrogant director Scott Frank who opened up 2 page acceptance. Categories were tough but I was routing for Renee Elise Goldberry and Bowen Yang but perhaps next year. The people in England who had their own party for all the statues that the Crown won seemed to be having more fun! Hacks won for writing and directing and Jean Smart!! It was nice to see the Norm Macdonald love which was barely mentioned by Lorne but celebrated by John Oliver. Colbert ‘s election night special won as did JB Smoove. Hamilton won and Debbie Allen got the big one. I do not understand why real singers and or musicians have to be there for the in Memoriam. It takes me out of it a bit and concentrates the focus on them. Do they think that people will pay attention more? Do they want to keep the home audience or live audience from the bathroom?  My best dressed were Anya Taylor-Joy, Michaela Cole who won for I may destroy you, Jean Smart, Josh O’Connor, Kathryn Hahn, Billy Porter, MJ Rodriguez, Keenan Thonpson, Leslie Odom Jr., Catherine O’Hara, Trevor Noah, Eugene Levy, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, Bowen Yang,  Anthony Anderson, Leslie Grossman, Amber Ruffin, Allyson Felix, Renee Elise Goldberry, Samira Wiley and Rege- Jean Page. My worst were Sarah Paulson, Gillian Anderson,  Beanie Feldstein, Elizabeth Olsen and Aidy Bryant. To me the best part of the show was the enthusiasm of Conan and the way he injected himself into much of the evening .He was the show.  Go Conan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****
Next year there must be some Emmys for Sarah Paulson and Cobie Smulders in Impeachment!!!!!
*****
Oh Boy!! The Eyes of Tammy Faye!!
*****
Looking forward to the Electric Life of Louis Wain with Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.
*****
Abba has a new album!!
*****
Shang Chi is the biggest Labor Day opening with a $71.4 mil opening.
*****
Sen. Amy Klobuchar has announced she has breast cancer.
*****
Is it the 70’s? A streaker ran past the studio of the Today show.
*****
Rascal Flatts Joe Don Rooney was arrested for DUI.** Nicholas Cage was thrown out of a prime rib pace in Vegas after being drunk and disorderly.
*****
Jennifer Eckhart has filed a lawsuit against former Fox news anchor Ed Henry for rape and retaliation after allegedly being handcuffed and beaten.
*****
Scarlett Johansson has settled her Disney lawsuit.
*****
Pete Buttigieg and Chasten had twins they named Penelope Rose and Joseph August.
*****
I noticed a commercial for Dancing with the Stars. Are we onto the E list because I have heard of hardly any of these people. ‘Stars’is really stretching it. And as I post this I see there are some covid issues there as well.
*****
Virgin River was renewed for 2 more seasons.
*****
Trevor Noah is right? Why do they stop giving lollipops to adults at the doctor?
*****
Jon Stewart is back on Apple tv with ‘The problem with Jon Stewart.
*****
Brooklyn 99 had about the best finale (other than Newhart) that I can recall. I had my fingers crossed that Chelsea would be back. Will they honor us like they did in the show and come back for a special about once a year? That would be fucking awesome!!
*****
Don’t expect compliments from an insecure person.- Mr. Pickles
*****
Thousands and thousands of people are in need. Haitian refugees and other immigrants have seen nothing like this what with assassination, a hurricane and earthquake. The Southern border is a mess.** Why does Fox news keep telling refugees the border is open as they sit back and laugh at Biden’s predicament.  Spreading false info to intentionally hurt poor, distressed people has no end for them.
*****
Do companies know how fucked up their employment websites are? It is true that some people do not want to work. It is true that people schedule interviews and don’t show up. It is also true that companies have made it so hard to apply that many can’t. I suppose it is easier for them but the poor who may really want to work have a hard time. Paper applications are almost completely gone. The old fashioned way of walking into low paying job sites and finding a connection with a manager rarely exist. Some places only accept texts or have long ridiculous psych tests that a working Mother may not have time for. A Father working many hours already, may not be able to go to the library to get online if they cannot afford a computer. Many websites tell you that there no positions available in your area while there is a huge sign in front of the establishment. Can’t find people to work.. Gee I wonder why?? And treat people with respect once you find them, how about that?
*****
Keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success. –Jerry Seinfeld
*****
Hey.. There was a van air B’n B biz going that got busted. Hey.. The poor need vaca’s too. It is wrong but If they are willing to sleep in a van, why not. I truly think that many do not understand how much people are struggling.
*****
Free coffee day came and went but only a few places really gave you free coffee without rules to govern the promo. Some places wanted to sell you something else and some made you belong to their club. Starbucks held that customers had to come inside for the free cup of Joe, handicapped or not.
*****
One would think the Republicans would run out of $ for recounts but they have deep pockets. Just think how much good they could do for the huddled masses with that scratch.
*****
Sad to lose Mick Brigden, protégé of Bill Graham who managed The Stones and worked with Frampton, Dylan and Santana.** And the comics were very vocal about the loss of Norm Macdonald. He was one of a kind and he will be missed!
*****
R.I.P. Ruth Marx, Lee Scratch Perry, Willard Scott, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Isadore Bleckman, George Wein, Michael K. William,George Holliday, Anthony Johnson,  Basil Hoffman, Al Harrington,Willie Garson, Mick Brigden, Tommy Kirk and Norm Macdonald.

Could you do a bechloe fic inspired by supertrooper from abba/mamma Mia
Ok, I love Mamma Mia so I was super pumped to do this. 
Currently, I’m not accepting request because you guys gave me plenty of prompts to last a while (thank you for that btw) so please don’t send me more. For now. I let you know when I open up my inbox on my blog. Thank you.
Now to the fun part. Hope you enjoy it :D 
Theplane roughly landed on the runway, jolting Beca out of her restless slumber. She screwed her eyes shot, hoping if she prayed hard enough she would get another ten minutes of rest. 
God, she just went to sleep twenty minutes ago.
She was exhausted. Twenty different counties in two months was duo to take a toll on her body but she never expected that it would push her to the edge. Her body was heavy with tiredness and her mind was numb. 
She pursed her lips together in anger and threw on her sunglasses. The last thing she needed was a paparazzi catching her at the airport, looking like a mess. Even if she was one.
#16 Glasgow. 
‘Here we go again’ she thought bitterly as she pulled her carry-on behind her off the plane, following her manager who led her through the messes of people. She plastered on a smile for her fans waiting at the gate for her, signing some autograph but kept the conversation brief. She climbed in a taxi and as soon as the doors were closed, she let out a deep breath. 
James, her manager, pulled out his phone and looked at the scheduled. “Okay, so we arrive at the hotel in about an hour then it’s soundcheck and the concert is tomorrow at 8. You have nothing else planned.”
Beca rolled her eyes. That list didn’t sound like nothing. As if it weren’t enough.
“Fine.” She murmured and tried to get comfortable on the leather seat, looking out the window at the passing buildings as she got lost in her head. 
Don’t get her wrong, she loved performing. She loved the feeling of the music pumping through her bones, completely consuming her mind, making her forget about everything for a second. Hearing the crowd scream when that one favorite song started playing…It was addicting. 
However, when the high came crushing down after the concert was over, Beca was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. And that feeling repeated itself over and over again, leaving her no room to breath. 
After soundcheck, she marched back into her hotel room, ignoring the invitation to explore the city in favor of finally closing her eyes for more than half an hour. She sighed as she locked the door and let her eyes wonder over the spacious luxury room that she was staying in for the night. 
She knew she should be grateful. She was traveling around the world, singing in front of thousands of people who admired her beyond her worth but she couldn’t help but longed to be home. 
The fairly sized apartment she purchased when her carrier took off. The cozy, two bedroom apartment that she called home. Her home with Chloe. 
At the thought of her redhead, Beca smiled softly. She hadn’t seen her in so long. 
She went over to the king size bed and laid down. It’s going to be over soon and then she would be back where she belonged. 
Fishing out her phone from her pocket, her fingers automatically went to the gallery, a habit she developed whenever she was missing her. The amount of selfies she found there of Chloe was overwhelming and fulfilling at the same time. Beca chuckled as Chloe pulled a funny face to the camera, laying in their bed. 
Her smile was quickly replaced by a sad sigh when the next picture was of them in Central Park with Beca planting a kiss on Chloe’s cheek while the redhead’s eyes were closed, a content smile on her face. 
She closed the app and went into her contacts, putting the phone to her ears. It didn’t take two rings before Chloe’s voice sounded from the other end.
“Hey, stranger.” Her tone was cheerful, pulling a small smile from Beca. “I was just thinking about you.” 
“Yeah?” Beca asked quietly. 
“Your song was on the radio when I was coming home. You better believe, I cracked up the music and sang at the top of my lungs.” Chloe chuckled. “I think, some teenager filmed it at the red light.” 
“I hope you don’t end up on Youtube like last time.” Beca smiled and snickered at the memory of a very drunk Chloe at a karaoke bar, break dancing on the floor - or trying, more accurately - while the “Friends” theme song played in the background. 
Chloe groaned loudly. “Oh, so embarrassing. I gotta tell you sometimes it’s not worth being the love of your life. Your fans care way too much about me.” 
Beca raised her eyebrows and smirked. “The love of my life, huh?” 
“Am I wrong?” 
“No…not even a little bit.” Beca smiled faintly and shook her head. “It’s so good to hear your voice.” She admitted quietly, closing her eyes as Chloe paused for a second.
“I miss you too, baby. But It’s going to be over soon.” Chloe said soothingly. “It’s one more month than you are home.” 
Beca clenched her jaw. “I don’t think I can do this anymore.” 
On the other end of the world, Chloe sighed and sat down on the couch, pulling a blanket over her lap. 
“What happened?” 
Beca exhaled harshly and bit her bottom lip. “I’m just…tired. I’m tired of everything. All I do is eat, sleep and sing over and over again. I don’t remember the last time I slept for 8 hours. Chloe, I - I wish I was done with it.” 
“Oh, Becs…” 
And Beca hated to admit it but she felt tears building behind her eyes at Chloe’s tone. 
“I - I wish I could do something to help you…” 
The brunette snapped herself out of her pity party and wiped away the tears, plastering on her smile even though Chloe couldn’t see her. 
“You already doing it. Just by talking to me.” She chuckled humorlessly. “I just needed to vent a little, I guess. I’m fine now.”
“Beca…” 
Beca knew she would want to keep talking about it but the brunette suddenly left drained out. She cut her off quickly. “But that’s enough about me. Tell me about your day.” 
The other line was silent for a second before Chloe signed and reluctantly changed the subject for Beca’s sake. 
The couple was on the phone for more than an hour before Beca wasn’t able to keep her eyes open. When her words slurped into mumbles, Chloe started chuckling softly.
“Go to bed, baby. You had a long day.” 
She thought about protesting but Beca couldn’t deny that she could fall asleep in seconds so she unwillingly bid goodbye to Chloe and finally closed her eyes.
All the way in New York City, Chloe started at the phone, Beca’s caller ID picture still showing on the screen with her characteristic frown in place. Chloe looked at the picture fondly and made up her mind. 
She dialed a number and put the phone to her ear.
“Hey, it’s Chloe…no, no, everything’s alright…I just…I have a huge favor to ask you.”
The air was buzzing with energy and anticipation as the clock ticked closer to 8 pm and the stadium was filling up with fans. Backstage was a chaos, just like it always was as several people ran around trying to get everything ready in time. 
Beca was going over her set list for the last time in her dressing room as the hairdresser curled the last strand of hair and deemed her perfect. Beca hummed in response and stood up, blindly making her way to the edge of the stage. Her band was already in place, only waiting for their cue to start. 
She took a deep breath. No matter how many times she had done this, she just couldn’t shake away the nerves. The lights suddenly dimmed and the crowd went crazy, knowing Beca was minutes away from appearing. 
As she was about to take a step, James suddenly called out for her.
“Beca!” 
Beca frowned and turned around. James was barely able to contain his smile and he waved his hand towards himself. 
“I need to borrow you for a second.” 
Beca looked back at the stage and raised her eyebrows. “I’m…in the middle of something.”
James shook his head. “That can wait. Big artists are late all the time. Come with me.” 
Not knowing what to say, Beca carefully followed her manager as he led her to her dressing room. Beca stopped in front of the closed door and turned to him. 
“You’re acting weird. Just tell me what’s going on.” 
James smirked. “Just open the door.”
“Ja - “
“Open the door, Beca.” 
The brunette scoffed in annoyance and waited for a second, hoping James would break but he stood his ground. Throwing a glare his way, Beca stepped closer and cautiously opened the door. 
Her heart jumped in her throat at the sight that greeted her. 
Chloe stood in the middle of the room, with all her beautiful glory, smiling from ear to ear. Beca’s mouth fell open as she froze to the spot. She couldn’t believe this. Chloe didn’t say a word just went over and after a long month of being away from each other, she finally wrapped her in her arms. 
Beca felt the tears cloud her vision as she finally admitted to herself that this was the reality. Her body came alive as she clenched to the redhead, squeezing her around the waist and tucking her head in the crook of her neck. Chloe laughed happily and squeezed her tightly. 
“Wh - How?” Beca murmured against her skin, not letting go of her for a second. 
“I know you needed me. So, I called James and he flew me out.” Chloe answered. “I missed you so much.” 
Beca swallowed down her tears and pulled back slightly. Her lips collided with Chloe’s gently and she didn’t care if it sounded mushy but it felt like coming home.
“I’m staying with you for the rest of the tour.” Chloe whispered, her eyes boring into Beca’s.
“But what about work?” 
Chloe smirked, winking at the brunette. “Don’t worry about it. I can be persuasive if I want to.” 
Beca shook her head disbelievingly but the smile wouldn’t leave her face. She wouldn’t doubt that for a second.
“Umm, I don’t mean to interrupt the moment…” James’ voice rang out suddenly, breaking the bubble over their heads as the couple turned to them. “But your fans are waiting.” 
Beca nodded. “Thank you.” She looked deep into his eyes, making sure he knew she meant the words sincerely. James smiled back at her. Message received. 
Beca turned her head back to Chloe. “Don’t leave.” 
Chloe smiled at her fondly, pulling her in for a quick kiss. “Never.” 
A large smile blossomed on Beca’s face as she ran out of the room and all the way to the edge of the stage. She signaled to the band and they started her entrance music again. 
As she stepped out onto the stage, she knew tonight was going to be different.
Because somewhere in the crowd, there was Chloe.

hey! I didn't know if you still do these but could you match me with someone out of the Bowers gang? btw i love your page so much :) I'm 16 & 5'4. I'm fairly lanky but still on the slightly curvy side considering I'm asian. I have a diverse choice of music (it ranges from ABBA to 6lack to tchaikovsky to tupac) i play guitar & sing sometimes. I'm an unintentional flirt all the time & find myself teasing people just to "simmer" it down with humor. sorry this was extra ! aha thank you :))
(Sorry this took so long!!) I ship you with Henry! It was a sunny day in Derry Maine and the Bowers gang had just arrived at their local high school. After slipping a slug into Eddie Kaspbrak’s shorts, and using Stan Uris’ yarmulke as a frisbee, they headed off to their separate classes. Henry strolled into U.S. Geography right as the last bell sounded, and earned himself a glare from the aging Mr. Wise. He tossed himself into a seat in the back of the room carelessly, and tilted his head back to take a much needed nap. He tuned the teacher out for a moment, only to tune back in when he heard the word ‘new’. He opened one eye to see a short, gorgeous Asian girl standing at the front of the room, rubbing her arm shyly. After the awkward introduction, the girl took a seat unknowingly next to the Henry Bowers. He smirked a little, as she had no clue who he was, but boy would she.“Hi,” he says confidently, looking her right in the eyes. “I’m Henry.”She smiles sweetly, and to his surprise, quite flirtatiously. “What’s up?”His favorite thing about you?: How flirty and cute you are around any and everybody, but especially him.

#33: Season 1, Episode 11 - “Secrets and Spies”
To destress from her busy schedule, Ren takes up a secret gig performing ABBA karaoke at local Japanese restaurant. She’s super sneaky about it and Louis is determined to figure out what she's up to.
Tumblr media
The opening shot of this episode is Ren in her room rearranging her ridiculous schedule, showing us that she’s absolutely swamped. Eileen comes waltzing in and oddly knocks after the door is already open. I just randomly noticed that. Like, give the girl some privacy. She’s all excited to tell Ren that Councilman Mackenzie (whoever that is) is looking for a new intern and that he’s expecting her call. Ren CLEARLY does not want to do this and even tells Eileen that her schedule is too busy. One look at her calendar cork board would make anybody be like “Guuuurl, you’re only giving yourself an hour and a half each week for relaxation time?! You’re 14!” Instead, Eileen looks at her schedule and says “No, honey. Look! You have Tuesday, 4:30 to 6 available!!” Seriously, Eileen? 
Tumblr media
Ren is spending Wednesday at 5pm reading to the blind. Give her a break. 
As soon as Eileen leaves, Ren walks into her closet and screams at the top of her lungs. Except, it’s obviously a stock audio clip of a horror scream. Louis overhears and it’s the first clue to the budding mystery. 
At dinner, Ren is curiously missing. We see that the Stevens are doing some “International Delicacy du Jour” where each family member chooses a meal from a different country to eat or something. I don’t know. Steve cooked a traditional Vietnamese meal, and I swear, the way he pronounces the dishes would never fly today. He’s like, “You already have your pho-taaaaaaiiiiii!” in the most mock Asian sounding accent ever, oh my god. He goes on to say “bon appetit” in Vietnamese, which also sounds terrible. He also cooked sticky rice and there’s a gag where the rice is, well... too sticky. None of them can get it off of their utensils. Ren comes running in late and clearly lies about meeting with the councilman. When asked, she tells them that she got the internship. That is, until Louis notices a yellow feather tucked into Ren’s shirt and makes a scene about it. She immediately deflects from that and brings up some ceramic cat that Louis broke to change the subject. Huummm...
Tumblr media
Later that night while walking through the hall, Louis happens to overhear Ren talking on the phone in Japanese. He goes barging in “Hey, Stoolie! Why ya speakin’ in Japanese?” which is honestly so funny. It’s the way Shia says it, omg. He’s officially convinced that Ren is hiding something at this point. He has a meeting with Twitty to try and break down the evidence so far and we get a pretty memorable bit. Twitty’s reasoning is simply “Well, she’s a girl and girls do weird things. HEY! That’s a great song title. *proceeds to sing/play ‘girls do weird things’ on guitar*) This is a great scene so I’m just gonna embed it. There is one issue I’ll mention: there’s an awful overdub here. Listen to when Louis says “little miss perfect.” The audio was so obviously recorded at a different time, his lips don’t match, and he didn’t even bother to speak with an appropriate inflection so it would sound better in context. It makes me wonder what line they had him say originally... 
youtube
“Get out... Get out of my house” was always one of my favorite lines lol. 
We move on to the tiniest, most insignificant subplot EVER. Donnie is struggling with Trigonometry, (a subject I literally never studied in high school... is that bad?), so he gets an online tutor named Russell. The guy is a total nerd apparently and wants Donnie to help him out with the ladies. They meet up in person, and the tutor ends up being a little kid. That’s literally it. The plot never goes anywhere else. That’s it. There is a good line here, though. Russell is all “Let’s go meet girls!” and Donnie’s like “Look, kid. The only place I’m taking you is to a moon bounce.” I love this.
Tumblr media
The next day at school, some random chick tells Louis to thank Ren for referring her to the Councilman and that she got the internship... not Ren. The plot thickens. We get a montage of Louis spying on Ren all day, even hiding in a darn mailbox, until he follows her all the way to Tokyo Rick’s -- a super random Japanese restaurant. Louis is beyond confused, that is.. until a man comes on stage and says “Up next on the mic, we have the vocal stylings of... Isis.” And we get the big reveal: Ren in a 70s style wig singing “Dancing Queen” by ABBA. 
Can we talk about that fact that Ren’s stage name is freaking ISIS though?! Isis?! Really, Disney? This is honestly Illuminati territory for me. Although, Isis is also an Egyptian goddess, which is probably where they got the name from. But, still. It’s a little disturbing in hindsight to think that Ren’s alias went on to be the name of a terrorist organization. Yikes. Christy is a fine singer, but this is unfortunately not her finest performance. To be fair, she was like.. 15 or 16 here. I definitely look back at my own performances at that age sometimes and.... yeah. Not the greatest. This is another memorable scene though and deserves to be uploaded to YouTube, so... I uploaded it: 
youtube
Now that Louis knows her secret, he decides to torture her with his knowledge of the situation. We get another montage of him sneakily posting Tokyo Rick’s karaoke fliers all over school, and Ren subsequently removing them. He also drops yellow feathers on her, and even sends a message for Ren to report to room 109, where he has the school band playing “Dancing Queen” (terribly.) I love this part. This is another thing that counts as music humor for me, which y’all know I’m a giant sucker for. The band is just so bad. It sounds as if every band member is on life support and being forced to perform on the verge of their last breath. They literally sound like they’re dying. Just think of the 20th Century Fox sax, trumpet, and recorder fails for an idea of what it sounds like... and times that by 10. Louis is conducting them and shouts “Javier!! That’s your cue!” which is absolutely hilarious to me. Sometimes, it’s the smallest details of this show that kill me the most. Ren walks in and Louis casually says “Isis!” When Ren asks “What did you call me?!” he responds with “I said ‘Hi, sis!’” Perfect. 
Tumblr media
Ren pushes Louis out of the room and into the hallway to scream at him and it quickly turns from a scene I absolutely love to a scene that crushes my soul. Ren gets so fed up and screams “Do you think you’re funny?! I don’t. Nobody does! In fact, we all feel sorry for you because we’re out living busy, productive lives and you have... ugh, I don’t know... NOTHING! So just BACK OFF, Nothing Boy!” - The “nothing boy” remark was always a little cringy to me. Not the greatest insult, but it’s just so sad. She kinda hit Louis everywhere it hurts the most. He’s always struggled with feeling like he has nothing special or unique about him in comparison to everyone else. The one thing he does have is comedy, and she says he sucks at that too. Dang. He just stands there and sadly takes the beating. I’m upset. 
Tumblr media
Louis takes ~the gloves are coming off~ approach and suggests that the family should go to Tokyo Rick’s as his pick for the International Delicacy thing to reveal Ren’s secret to their parents. But later on, Ren genuinely apologizes to Louis. She admits to being a little jealous that she can’t seem to relax and have fun the way he does -- so she decided to sing karaoke as a way to let off steam. It’s actually really sweet. I love whenever we get nice sibling moments between them. 
Tumblr media
I will say, there’s a funny bit where some random kid is using the water fountain near them -- he’s sort of eavesdropping so Louis BARKS at him to make him go away. Oh my god. It’s one of those out of left field moments that help make this show great. I wonder if this was an ad-lib...? If it was, I love Shia even more and I didn’t think that was possible. 
Tumblr media
Is it just me or does the kid look EXACTLY like Coach Tugnut? I’ma bout to ask Jim Wise on Twitter if he’s related to him...
EDIT: I asked. I was right. (tweet)
Tumblr media
EDIT EDIT: I was not right. Turns out Jim was pulling my leg??? haha. We cleared this up in our interview with him. So embarrassing. 
Louis accepts Ren’s apology, but it’s too late. Ma and pops are already at the restaurant. Oh, boy. 
Louis obviously feels bad at this point. When he gets to the restaurant, he does everything in his power to distract Steve and Eileen from seeing Ren on stage... but fails. They’re shocked to see her. Ren was singing “Dancing Queen” again btw (is that the only song she knows, orrrr?) and her outfit got an upgrade.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ren apologizes again and explains the whole situation to their parents. They’re surprisingly understanding! They agree that everyone should have some crazy fun every once in a while. The episode ends with Steve wearing Ren’s wig and the whole family singing “I’ve Got The Music In Me.” It’s hysterical. And ironic, because none of them have the music in them. Especially Louis. Seeing him dance and sing is truly the 8th wonder of the world. What goes through Shia’s mind while he’s playing this character? I want to know.
Tumblr media
How does this kid go on to be a drummer? Explain. 
And that’s it! Like the majority of Season 1 episodes, this one is a little slow paced.. but it works here. It’s part of the charm of the first season. I love it. I originally had this ranked towards the “worst” half of the list, but upon re-watching I found a lot of things to like about it. Between Twitty’s awful hit single, the terrible school band, Ren’s performance and the family sing-a-long.. what’s not to love?! It’s a bit of a rollercoaster between Louis and Ren but ultimately turns out fine, which always feels like a well deserved and happy conclusion. I also like how this episode isn’t necessarily a Ren plot or a Louis plot, it’s blended and I love when they’re able to do that and have it flow so well. Also, if you’ve never seen the episode before.. it’s sort of a genuine mystery leading up to the reveal. It’s actually difficult to figure out what Ren’s been doing. It’s a pretty solid episode, imo. But, not the greatest. 
Thanks for reading! Thoughts? :)

Mamma Mia:Here we go again! Thoughts-Spoilers-
This is not gonna be a proper review just a splurge of my thoughts. But first things first everyone just watch it!! Seriously, it’s so fun and worth a watch.
.
.
.
.
Spoilers from here on
-Ok, so Donna’s dead. -Sigh- It made me very sad and kind of ruined the first half an hour cause I knew it was coming and then it annoyed me. I really enjoyed her in the first film, and you’d think after the hard life she had they would have let her have more than 4 freaking years with her babe Sam? I wish they’d time jumped further for that reason actually. So yeah-devastated. However, nevertheless, it provided an emotional core to the film and that song Meryl did just left me in bits-thanks ABBA.
-Speaking of Sam-I agree with everyone else-young Sam should have had more singing. The other young love interests did and most of his song he was asleep, which I got because she was pondering what his true feelings were,but then you kind of felt a bit shortchanged because he is the one she fell in love with and still loved decades later and yet she seems to spend less time with him and less charged moments. I still loved the chemistry with the actors besides that.
Cher- This is tricky. I love Cher and of course, she was brilliant in this. ‘Fernando’ was one of the best songs, more on that in a bit. Buttttt her lack of screen time made her appearance in the film a bit gimmicky. She arrived in like, I dunno the last 30/25 minutes? For such a character as Donna’s mum it just didn’t seem enough and seemed like they had basically gone ‘Cher’s in our movie come see it’ which they don’t need to do cause-hello, it’s Mamma Mia-I had my platforms on as soon as it was announced. Also, narratively I didn’t like what we got for Ruby, she’s ignored her daughter and granddaughter for 25+ years and yet she turns up and is kind of welcomed in straight away? There was no real apology or explanation just ‘I’ve decided to accept being a grandmother’. I know it’s not a serious film and I wouldn’t want it to be because it’s escapism, but I just felt outraged on Donna’s behalf. If I was Sophie I would have shown her back to her helicopter. 
- Right, Fernando. I loved him and that reuniting of him and Ruby was so brilliant, I felt like there was just this silence when they started singing to each other. I’m lame but I really love that they made a character called Fernando just so they could use that song-Amazing!Also, I’m not sure but were they hinting Fernando was Donna’s dad? Cause they said he was never in the picture and then bang we have a former love interest of Donna’s mum? I guess like everything else paternity related it’s meant to remain a mystery haha
-Speaking of the dads-They were of course brilliant again. I was devastated for Sam that his happy ending was ruined so soon. They should have had more time. Harry, I’m really happy for him because he has this new familiy new which he’s always wanted. Bill- was hilarious as always-that moment of him and Harry doing the Titantic hug on the front of the boat while Dancing Queen played, was amazing and should be up for scene of the year tbh. I was kind of annoyed they broke up him and Rosie, but I guess if you’ve been a rogue you’re whole life it’s hard to change, it seemed he turned a corner tho and they will be happy together.
Tanya and Rosie-this two were a massive favourite part of the film-both young and older verions. The casting was brilliant btw it really was spot on and so many good lines.Including ‘god I hope his wife is dead’
The Music- the critics can stuff if it tbh, yes ok they used most of the popular songs in the first film but the songs in this were still good.There is something about an ABBA song, they’re like BeeGee songs you always know it’s them and are catchy. There were some I didn’t know but I still enjoyed them and having the younger versions sing sort of reprises of songs like Mamma Mia just gives this really good timeline of these songs lasting a lifetime which they have for us.
Anyway, I think that’s it. I enjoyed it sooo much, yes I would change some things but it’s a fantastic feel good movie and I can’t stand this notion that for something to be good it has be noir and tragic. Happy stuff makes good movies too!
