album review: Wachito Rico -- boy pablo

ALBUM RATING: 7.5/10

initial thoughts

i got some motivation to do another album review again HAHAHSH thanks @dumdum0515 for this rec! i haven't listened to a lot of boy pablo's discography (the few songs i listened to were just okay), so i'm not too sure if i'll like this, but i'm hopeful :)

tracklist

in depth review under the cut:

track 1: i hope she loves me back

Okay woah I immediately liked the synth in the beginning! Lyrics are just okay to me, but the whole track is definitely a vibe + his voice fits that vibe, and I generally love the instrumentals.

8/10, i would relisten for the amazing synth

track 2: hey girl

This is groovy! The track starts off strong and immediately with the hook, that is repeated throughout, which makes it quite catchy. I like how it swells at the chorus, and the bridge is really cool too. It reminds me of The Beginning by Magdalena Bay, just slightly

8/10 too, any song that can be compared to The Beginning is amazing in my books

track 3: leave me alone!

THE BUILD UP BEFORE THE FIRST CHORUS?? it was unexpected and it works SO WELL with the chorus! plus that outro after that?? omg. I also love the bridge, it's a vibee. I like the drums in this song, and generally like the melody more than the previous two, so:

9.5/10! it was an immediate add to playlist

track 4: honey

The lyrics on this track are quite pretty and poetic, this is quite nice and the repeated notes in the chorus remind me of 'if i let u in' by Shye.

6/10, a very decent track! (I just liked it less than the previous 3)

track 5: rest up

Hmm, this track is okay! The hook is pretty good, and I just realised boy pablo's voice sounds kinda similar to Rex Orange County LOL.

also 6/10!

track 6: te vas // don't go

A cute and quite an aesthetic song! The lyrics feel like they can be quoted, and the bridge sounds like it would fit the ending of an episode in a tv series, when there's a resolution (something like Space Song in Wednesday)

6/10 too, still a decent track!

track 7: aleluya

Aww a sweet interlude! I like the vibes, and it extends from te vas//don't go quite well!

6/10

track 8: come home

Strong beginning again! It cools off into a more chill, slower pace which fits the home-y and welcoming vibes that the lyrics are trying to convey. Lyrics and melody/rhythm are integrated really well in this :)

7/10

track 9: mustache

This is okay to me! I like the general hook and the back part, the instrumentals after the lyrics

6/10

track 10: vamos a la playa

It's speeding up the pace for the next track, and OH THE TRANSITION?? Albums get bonus points to me if they have great transitions, so it looks like this album is going to qualify

track 11: wachito rico

OHH title track time. I immediately liked this! Instrumentals and melody, high scores across the board, plus a cool bridge?!!

9/10

track 12: nowadays

A quieter, acoustic track! Love the vibes and it sets the mood for the last 2 tracks from this album. Really quotable lyrics too, and the repeated lyrics work well in this track

7/10

track 13: i <3 u

I love this soft track, it ends the album well, especially the slower cool down from the bridge onwards. How the instrumentals briefly pause,, i love that type of syncopation so much!

8/10

best lyrics -- te vas // don't go

You gave your eyes to somebody else // What am I supposed to do?

best melody/production -- leave me alone

I love this song so much!! With the creative use of build ups and quite a unique mix, it is memorable and reminds me of my favourite synth-pop tracks (although it's not exactly synth-pop). Definitely my favourite from this album

my final rankings

leave me alone!

wachito rico

hey girl

i hope she loves me back

i <3 u

come home

nowadays

rest up, honey

te vas // don't go, mustache

aleluya, vamos a la playa

Overall, this album is very cohesive and I appreciate the 3 transition tracks! This was better than I expected and I'll definitely be listening to leave me alone! for a bit, and I'm sure the slower songs will grow on me with another listen.

#i use caps for the points so it looks like More Formatted Thoughts although it's messy in my brain HAHHAHA #(p.s. 7.5/10 is pretty high in my rating system! 7/10 is an album I enjoyed enough to pay and go to a singer's concert #+ this album gets extra credit for the transitions so it gets 7.5!#Spotify #boy pablo #indie pop #album review #7/10 #7.5/10 #recs #thanks for the rec!#pop songs #pop album

Omg I remembered being upset about Lucas story but I was also not paying that much attention because he (accidentally) misgenders Andy at the beginning and I was just like 🔪🔪🔪🔪 catch this hands, for a few chapters (which looking back maybe maybe I took it too personal because a few months later I had a gender crisis hahahshs gender is hard) , also I was romancing Andy, Ava and Stacy <3

oh ur valid. honestly i always forget that part happens because it was so?????? choices blease u dont have to introduce a character being trans by having a random accidental misgendering (that doesnt even make much sense cuz andy's been out for a long time, like, cmon). i dont hold it against lucas because i think he handled it well - he apologized and didnt do it again and didnt try to make excuses and he seemed genuinely sorry so its not like he was Evil, but also like ur valid fjdndidnd especially if it was sensitive for u at the time, u know? and i would have definitely understood if andy had been more upset at him, too

but it was hard to me not to relate to lucas as well because his plotline hits sooo hard to me. my parents arent crazy like his but i always felt the pressure to do everything and be Perfect and thats how i burnt out at 18 and got into a huge depression slump for a year lmao. plus hes latino so theres that. and hes just... such a cute and fun dork. also canonically bi! thats hard to come by, esp in choices where they seem to think having ur LI even look at someone not ur MC's gender is a crime or some shit. anne ways

but even if i didnt like lucas i just cant let that plotline go, as an educator. like holy shit, what happened to him was awful and it was the school's (and his family's) fault, not his. the whole book treats it like lucas has done some terrible immoral thing but what he was doing is no different from self harm. it was making him anxious, affecting his health, his sleep, his wellbeing, and he was doing it because the circumstances made him feel like he had to to be able to perform. and somehow hes the bad guy who needs to Repent for this awful mistake?????

like this is such an awful victim blaming plotline and its such bullshit and its all so no one will question such an awful school system that literally pushes children beyond their limit until they break and puts academic performance and competition above all else. like as a teacher if i found out a single one of my students was taking focus pills to keep up with the pressure i would cry my eyes out, then fucking raise hell with administration until we got them the support they needed AND rethought the curriculum organization so the pressure would be lower and it didnt happen again. one student sacrificing their health for school is one too many

like when i got to that part i just started crying immediately because GOD id fucking kms if i found out i or the organization i work for was doing this to our students. and i fully expected mr cooper to get him help?????? like especially with his whole speech about the shaky hands and trouble sleeping, i was like Obviously this kid is a victim of the meat grinding capitalist school system and as an educator mr cooper will want to get him psychological help. INSTEAD he was like lucas I will get you expelled and call tje lolcueBDHDBDUDBD CALLING THE POLICE ON A BROWN STUDENT BECAUSE HE WAS SELF MEDICATING ARE YOU KIDDING ME. and then i expected choices to have us be like "lucas im so sorry this happened to you" but instead all the options were super judgy and clearly taking "lucas is in the wrong" as the premise of it all I WANTED TO DIE

and its suuch a dangerous message to send ppl like u r literally naturalizing victim blaming with that shit and it's all so no one questions why the school system is making literal KIDS burn out in high school anyway. and we could have had such an amazing plotline discussing how this is a systemic issue in a society that puts ppl at constant competition with each other and is demanding more and more productivity until everyone's mental health breaks. and we could even have a discussion about how racism plays into this and how as a brown student lucas knew he had to be perfect and have a spotless record and be the best out of everyone to get a shot at an academic life and couldn't afford to have a single spot in his record (much less a drug-related one as a latino) because he knew thatd be the end for him. instead we got............... victim blaming. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Im okay. im okay. im fine. i am FINE

anyway

but also ur valid <3 i like stacy but i was never interested in her as a LI, like her interactions with MC felt kinda bland to me? like not romantically appealing, idk. i think at least part of that is because i played with a male MC so his interactions with stacy just felt like.... idk bland heterosexuality? i definitely cared for her and wanted to help her but i couldnt ship her with MC, so yeah, it was andy ava and lucas for me didnfif

#it lives #it lives in the woods #ilitw #lucas thomas #sidenote why is his last name thomas what kind of latino has thomas as a last name #anti stacy green #its not anti her but u know #misgendering tw #drugs tw #cops tw #self harm tw #just to be sure #racism tw

⸙ ˚₊ ➷ OIKAWA TOORU & SUNA RINTAROU WITH A SISTER WHO HAS FLINGS & LIKES DATING DIFFERENT GUYS ! ❞

✎ . . . hiya! can i request headcanons for oikawa and suna with a sister that likes dating different guys like flings or something?? thank u

❝ ― submitted by @nonnie <33 ❞

-ˏˋ ➶ character(s) ━ oikawa tooru & suna rintarou <3

-ˏˋ ✉️ REQUESTS ARE ALWAYS OPEN.

⇣ please read the RULES before requesting.

[ ♡ ] phew, this is one of my KINDA old requests, kinda because they're nothing compared to literal months old asks rotting in my inbox. came back to my drafts and saw this sitting there unfinished so why not complete it before oikawa's birthday? ( don't worry i have another oikawa thing in my drafts & it's a LONG one. )

OIKAWA TOORU.

➜ okay, hear me out, oikawa is actually not for having relationships left and right. i feel like he's the type that would have ocassional flings and flirst every now and then but, HAVE YOU SEEN HOW DEDICATED THIS MANS IS WITH VOLLEYBALL?

➜ he ain't got time for that i'm sorry honey

➜ and no, oikawa, you weren't the one that broke up with her stfu and SIT DOWN

➜ unlike you, that would constantly have those cash cash money flings with many guys coming home to your house

➜ y'know ,, just to study <3

➜ like calm yer tits ma'am😳✋

➜ I'M JOKING YOU CAN DATE WHENEVER AND WHOEVER YOU WANT LIKE THE ROYALTY U ARE

➜ probably makes them go away with the AMOUNT OF BLACKMAIL MATERIAL HE HAS ON YOU KAJJSJXJXJD

➜ as i said in my general big bro headcanons, he knows that 1626 crushes you had, so mans is ALWAYS updated with your love life💅

➜ knows probably knows of them since he's so popular

➜ would never let you change your wallpaper of the two of you together with that rubbish you call your one week boyfriend UNTIL he knows that the man you're replacing him would be someone you'll marry

➜ would INTERROGATE every guy that comes into the house

➜ bombard them with questions

“what are your intentions with my sister?”

“ yohoo, do you wanna know what happened about the last guy that broke my sister's heart? <3 ”

➜ youtube title be like : i almost killed my sister's ex?!? 😈😱😵 [ NOT CLICKBATE. ] [ STORY TIME. ]

“ i know your address pretty boy ”

➜ you probably won't get privacy with them, because he's always up your bussiness

➜ definitely would 10/10 crash your date in your bedroom that he knows MIGHT escalate to something else😀 with iwaizumi and his beefy arms 🙈 just to make sure that the guy won't try anything that might lead him to having iwa's lovely ,,, hot ,,, and beefy ,,, arms around his neck and ascend to heaven

➜ once the guy passes his interrigation, he'd let you guys go to your bedroom IF you would only open your door.

➜ no frisky bussiness please, thx xoxo

➜ would purposely practice his serves when he's near them because he'z that bitch ok

➜ gotta show them who's BOSS y'know?

➜ if he's in the mood to break some boys' heart, he'd help you prank them while he's the one texting them while you guys just laugh your assess out

➜ izaaa prankk🙈

➜ but he only does that to the fuck boys that he KNOWS just wants to get in your pants

➜ honestly i could see him prank them and send a dick pick from WHEREVER HE FOUND IT, and send it to them telling them you're actually a guy HAHAHSHS

➜ 😭😭

➜ would 9/10 of the time have u end up being blocked😭✨

➜ uh but in a serious topic tho

➜ as much as he loves you, he'll never hesitate to tell you that you're in the wrong IF you start just leading the boys on

➜ like ?? I LOVE HIM.

➜ he doesn't like you to be hurt but that also doesn't give you the excuse of hurting others

➜ UGh lit RALLY GRAND KING !! 👑

➜ but in the end of the day, he doesn't want you to get hurt the most. he doesn't care if you're having these flings but PLEASE don't date anyone that you know that could break your heart because honestly? it'll also break his

SUNA RINTAROU.

➜ rarely comes out of his room whenever you got your one of "boy toys" in the house, as he would like to call them

➜ doesn't go out of his room but whenever he does and sees the current boy you were with, he'd LOOK SO INTIMIDATING WHILE HE LOWKEY SIDE-EYES HIM ABAJAJJAJH

➜ the shade suna omg

➜ probably has a lot to say about your exes and flings but doesn't actually say them

➜ your flings/exes probably knows he doesn't like them

➜ best case scenario is that he doesn't care about them

➜ would never EVER let them come to ur ungodly trips to mcdonalds

➜ sorry i dont make the rules

➜ suna does

➜ he just thinks that trips to mcdonald are one of your guys' most sacred ritual that not even your parents could come with y'all

➜ doesn't like it when you text your current fling while y'all are having quality sibling bonding

➜ and by quality sibling bonding, he meant going to mcdonalds or any opened fast-food resturaunt at 2 am <3

➜ just like oikawa, i could REALLY REALLY SEE THIS BOY DO PRANKS TO FUCKBOYS THAT GAVE YOU THEIR NUMBER

➜ like no really, look at me in the eye and say that this mf won't do that

➜ 👁👁

➜ unlike oikawa though, he doesn't um,,, really care of those that aren't people he hold dearly close to his heart

➜ and to take out all the sugarcoated words i said, i meant that he doesn't give two shits if you go on flings after another since you ARE allowed to experiment with your dating life; who's he to tell you off y'know??

➜ BUT !! mans isn't a cold-hearted stone-cold bitch, so he does subtly tell you that being a two-timer is just,,,, not the move and actually purposely hurting people's feelings

➜ he's a good guys sometimes ok

omg tell me how i knew oikawa was going to be enemies to lovers 😈😈😈 it just fits him so well, like he’s far too teasing so i feel that it’s easy to dislike him HAHAHSH i know i would..

also the suna w brother’s best friend 👁👁 i am looking. my first fav from inarizaki was suna and he is slowly becoming my fav again the more i think about that trope with him skfbdn it really is all about the forbidden aspect and the dash of friends to lovers ‼️‼️ and UGH THE EXPERIENCE just.. brothers best friend is an absolute 100% yes in my book. and the way you described it— i won’t be able to get brother’s best friend suna out of my head for a while 😭🤚

gasp i just had a thought—like imagine being one of those younger siblings that’s always trying to hang out with your brother and his friends whenever they go out—but like forcing him to bring you along when they hang out with suna specifically. they’re planning to go to the arcade or something, well; get the parents in there!!! make them take me mom!!!!! and your brother is hella annoyed but suna finds it amusing

-🐰

post in reference!

yesyesyes shshwbsjd exactly 😭 oikawa enemies to lovers excellence <3

and pls i didn’t realize people would like suna’s brother’s best friend trope this much i thought of it in the moment and like hebdjd im so happy people are liking it ,,, deadass wanna properly write about it but they are — unholy thoughts so gotta wait 💔💔💔 AND HABSJDJD THAT’S SO FUNNY PLS. suna’s just smiling with amusement as he watches your brother sigh in exasperation and going “fine, get in the car,” and you getting so excited and while you’re out they probably do some messed up shit and you go it’s fine it’s not like you’ll snitch and suna says something like “ah, so you’re a big girl now, aren’t you?” PLSHSBSJD WHY IS THAT HOT

i swear ill write smut about this as soon as i can 😭😭😭

#asks #sal speaks <3 #— vip <3 🐰

it was a little while, so i feel the need to also apologize for being so late ;((( though! i don’t want you to worry🥺🥺 we both should stop apologizing in every conversation HAHAHSH😂 absolutely great that we both have summer break now🥳

hmmm i would say 25-28° (or maybe even to 30° in the sun) is the average summer weather here, but it is moody so it can change very quickly :// damn right!! it’s nice to be loud in my native language ahshhs💀 yesss we are very close!🥰 she’s done a lot for me when growing up and she really cares a lot<3 yeah same here though, i always do swim in the lakes even if it can be a bit scary with such dark water😂 agh now i really wanna go swim~

thank you!! i’m impatiently waiting for my new books right now and i hope they arrive soon🥺 road-trip through sweden/my town/nearby places!!

your activities sound great😌 i usually do the same, rest the first weeks to get back the energy lost! resting is key to a good well-being, in my opinion🥰 OMGG HOOP DANCING!!! sounds like so much fun! good luck with both that and editing, i hope you learn lots and have fun😚 as you should, worrying about work or money is just bad stress so resting up and doing what you want is the best ever💕

thank you so much Catalina🥺 ‘Maybe it isn’t just a bite’ is currently taking over and is my main focus rn even if i said i would write on it🤣

mhm!! cant blame people though, everyone has preferences so it’s okay🥺 thank you for your support though!!<3🥰💕

VERY MEAN OF HIM;( that teacher gets on my nerves and it’s very typical of him to set an assignment last week of school💀😭 I unfortunately didn’t completely finish it but i still presented it and he said it wasn’t a very serious project (thankfully)

I’M SO SO PROUD OF WOOYOUNG!!🥺😭🥰 getting AOTM is HUGE!!!! ahhh he’ll do so great and he will truly show how talented and skilled he is as an idol😭💕 can’t wait till we get to see what he has in store for us!!

ahhh i’m happy for you and these goals for yourself! i hope the weekend turned out good🥰😚💕

summer break has been amazing so far!! i did a lot of fun things last week so I’ve been resting up for like two days🥰🥰

Okay 😂 let’s agree to stop apologizing 😊. Yaaaassssssss! 🎊 finally!!! 😆 Summer break has been great so far for me. I just booked a ticket to fly to New York, but not really excited for the trip…

Wow! 😯 that heat can be intense sometimes. I hope that you’re using sunscreen when you go outside, and staying hydrated!! 💦 ☀️ HAHAHA!! 😂 😂 yes, please be as loud as you want, on the internet, whenever and wherever 😂 That’s good, I’m glad to hear that. She sounds like a great mother. Lol! Have you gone to swim since we last wrote each other??? 🏊‍♀️ Was it in a lake? I don’t think swimming will be a part of my summer, but I’m okay with that.

Yeah~ that kind of road-trip sounds like a dream. 😂 “Imaptiently waiting” what are the names of the books, I hope that you have them now. I never asked, that, I’m sorry. Do you intend to finish all four over the summer or just a couple? Resting is key 🔑, you are correct. Yeah~ although I am not so good with a hoop accompanying me with my moves but it’s all about cultivating flow which I am “learning” to do. I am not a very “go-with-the-flow” kind of person. Editing… hah 😪 I edited for four hours on Wednesday and it still didn’t turn out right, only for the computer to restart and completely shut down and ruin the project… I‘ll try not to give up. Thanks 🙏🏾 I hope that that first editing glitch was the first and last 😩.

However you want to organize your writing life is okay with me! I just love consuming your content. 😘💕

Oh wow!! You got really lucky!! ☺️😁😊 I am super happy for you!!! 🥰😊😂 Good for you!😉😉😉 and well… at least you won’t have to take another class by him again. Glad this school year can be put to rest for you and you can receive a much needed break.

I AM SO PROUD OF HIM TOO & I CANNOT WAIT EITHER!!! This is such a good bit of promotion for him and a place for him to showcase his skills. Is there a set date for when the video is to be released, or is it just known that the video is going to drop sometime this month? Also, that preview 😰 I am in serious anticipation 🙌🙌🙌

Last weekend was good, thanks 😊

I am glad to hear that. I am also happy to hear that you’ve been enjoying things so far on your break, despite the weather. 😢 But, other than that, things have been good!! 👍🏾

#seoultraveller responds #thorsdreams asks #thorsdreams #dee asks 💝#i also just want to say thank you for providing me with the ATEEZ content that i sometimes miss for whatever reason #you’re like my angel atiny

AAAAH not my response being late bc i was binging the rest of the anime 🥲🥲 i finished the anime charlotte!!! it was so good,,, a bit fast paced but damn they did so good on the plot and the concepts of love, platonic and romantic. i cried at the end like the little baby i am HAHAHSHS and then i decided to torture myself even more by watching the first episode of s2 of promised neverland (hoooooh boy i am so excited for it you do not unDERSTAND-)

WAIT THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!! i hope the cooking went well and that the food was yummy!! i mean ofc it will be, you cooked it >:3 but i hope it was extra yummy today!!! hehe :3c and hey, i know maybe this isn’t the best advice,,, but it’s the weekend!! you’re allowed to lay back for a moment and relax. don’t think too hard about classes just yet since it’s not monday right now (: ofc if it’s super important then maybe you should but....i hope you’re able to relax a bit this wknd! sending love to u, ames 💕

SO JTS OKAY
