Song superlative game

I'm creating the music ask game I really want. Send me a number and I'll give you a list of somewhere between three and ten songs:

Most joyful songs I know

Saddest songs I know

Songs to swoon to

Songs to sway to

Songs to belt with friends in the car

Songs to dance around the kitchen

Songs to scream-sing in anger/frustration

Songs to put on and just breathe

Songs for watching the sun set over the ocean

Songs for spring, summer, fall, and/or winter (pick one or more)

Songs for looking out an airplane window

Lyrics that make me fall even deeper in love with the English language

Melodies that remind me what music is for

Harmonies that remind me what music is for

Most beautiful instrumentation

Most beautiful vocal performances

Songs most likely to give me full-body shivers

Songs that make me think of my parents

Songs that make me think of my sibling(s)

Songs that make me think of my friends

Songs that make me think of my favorite books

Songs in which I see myself

Songs that make me think of you (person sending the ask)

Songs that I've performed before and still adore

Songs that I would kill for a chance to perform

#no idea if this game would appeal to others #but these are the playlists i /really/ want to share with you guys #and likewise i would /love/ to see how you guys would respond #if any of you guys feel like doing these #how can i keep from singing #pontifications and creations #ask me hard questions

Y’all ever be listening to a good song that makes you wanna scream the lyrics but you’re in public so you’re just sitting there all tense trying to hold in the urge to sing at the top of your lungs while aggressively breathing hard or tapping?

Yeah me too

oomph i know i'm definitely really early with this ask (changing time zones for vacation is weird o.O) but I was thinking about it over the past few days

for the lights, camera, sing your sins au, are the interrogations somewhat scripted where the prisoner knows what to say and Es is mostly just reactions or questions to that? I feel like we've talked about this but I have forgotten jandjnf o.O

because all i can think about is Es getting beaten up or close to tears in the first voice dramas and man if it's scripted, i feel bad for the prisoners who have to do this to es o.O

Hi Mug :D No worries, a slightly late reply because I was on vacation too haha! 🍂

And I mean it's whatever works best in people's minds, but I always pictured there being very little scripted, actually! I'd hoped that everything was as natural as possible. The prisoners just have to make the little shift to act as if they did follow through with the murder instead of talk about how close it came -- other than that, everything that happens is the characters' honest questions, answers, and reactions.

When explaining the no-violence ban to everyone, Fuuta and Kazui (and later Amane) tell Jackalope how they would think during their interrogations. Jackalope instructs them all how to act in order to stay consistent with the barriers/losing strength stuff. I think the only explicitly scripted action is Mikoto's violence, since Red admits he may resort to that if Blue felt threatened. Jackalope tells him to get to the point of violence no matter how the interrogation goes, as it's necessary (to proving Mikoto's situation, to driving home the central ideas of Mikoto's case, to reveal Milgram's process and 'limits,' etc).

And yeah, it definitely tears him apart to actually do it -- he has to verify that Es signed up for this several times (which they did), and it still takes a lot of resolve to follow through with hurting an innocent kid like that. I imagine that's one of the reasons he's not really upset that Kotoko surprised everyone by intervening: he felt so guilty about the attack and was grateful someone came in to stop it.

Although it wasn't physical pain, Mahiru is also really upset that she brought Es such emotional strain. She thinks it's cruel to fool them into feeling bad for her when she's okay, and it takes a lot of reassurance from the others to convince her it's for the sake of the experiment -- every part of the process has toyed with everyone's emotions, she's not a terrible person for doing so.

Whether in the middle of the trial or the final executions, I think any characters who die next trial will also feel awful for making Es mourn for them when they're still alive. It's not all one-sided guilt, though. It's balanced by anger/sorrow towards Es for condemning them to death in the first place because of their decisions. Any time they get too caught up in thinking "I'm so cruel for tricking them like this," they have a moment of "well, they did specifically order my death, so..."

When I'm looking for a pure fix-it, I'll let those emotions go pretty easily <3 But unfortunately my writer ass is never free from The Themes asdfsdf and sometimes I still get caught up in the project's major focus -- not only is Es facing the original Milgram dilemma of choosing whether or not to follow authority, but now the prisoners are faced with the exact same decision. Do they physically/mentally hurt this child "for the experiment?" Because someone in authority told them to? They're doing this to prove a point about justice and fairness, but where should they draw the line? At what point is it not for the greater good and they are just causing more harm?

I think I mentioned it before but in this au the prisoners are extremely motivated by the promise that this experiment will help others like them. Yuno wants to make a statement about society's views on abortion and sex work. Muu wants to make a difference for bullying victims. Kazui hopes to be a voice for all those who have had to keep theirs quiet about something. Mikoto hopes his story creates more awareness and acceptance for people who are usually terribly stereotyped and feared. Kotoko wants to bring to light the problem of corruption and what can be done about it, and so on. In the end, they can always justify causing a little emotional/physical harm because they are doing it for a good reason.

#milgram #thanks for the question! #sorry for another rambly au post -- i just love chatting about it LMAO #ironically im trying to keep everything as canon as possible 😅 #i think mikotos interrogation is the only one with something specifically set down by outside influences #because red would be really against the idea initially but he figures if its all consensual and it can really help people like himself #then its 100% worth it #i havent quite pictured how the prisoners think the results of the experiment will be released #i dont think they believe their videos/time in prison will reach the whole public #but they still assume the end goal is making a very public report #i think thatll be for me to decide at the end of the project when we have a better picture of everything #asdfsdf we havent even finished t2 and im already undoing character deaths from the finale 😂😂😂 #anyway i hope your vacation went/is going well! take it easy pal :) #lights camera sing your sins

i feel like the frequency with which governments ban dancing, a fundamentally harmless, although obviously vital, form of individual and cultural expression. really does emphasize how much the state (any state) is hostile to human life

#calling dance fundamentally harmless is like. i don’t want to downplay its power as an art form. but a lot of the power it wields against a #state. is the expression of ‘we are still here you have not killed us’. which is not a thing that needs expressing if no one is trying to #kill you. just thinking abt the us banning Indigenous dancing and the british banning irish dancing and there’s million other times i’m sure #it’s happened. states keep trying this it really doesn’t seem to work #bunch of old guys in the pub play how can i keep from singing please #you get what i mean #odhran.txt

phantom of manhattan is a truly terrible book in like a thousand different ways but it is peak hilarious for being like “yeah that kid can’t be raoul’s because UMMMMM he got shot in the dick”

#it’s super racist and I think ableist and sexist but DEFINITELY RACIST #but at least it tells you why the phantom knows the kid is his beyond ‘plays piano and sings good’ #his mother is an extremely famous opera singer and I don’t know if piano playing is genetic man. he could’ve gotten lessons. #but now if raoul was shot in the dick— #in the book the kid also is a mechanical genius but again: that can just be how someone is #raoul getting shot in the dick is much more definitive #ALSO ITS SO CAPITALIST ITS WEIRD #sorry found my screenshots from when I skimmed it after the audiobook to find things to send to friends #crazy book. can’t believe they didn’t keep the dick shooting for the show #not pjo #chitter chatter #lnd #love never dies #poto #what are my tags…. #tea reads tag #(yes I have the scene where raoul gets shot if you want it)
