i do actually wonder what like an actual translation of cat is like
because I'd love to see lines like
I can’t stop, I can’t be normal
This feeling, it can’t be gratified
I can’t stop, I can’t be normal
This feeling, it’s yearning to be satisfied
or
Love (plus) Destiny = Crap, smash it, shatter it, bye-bye
To be caressed by you, that would be perfection
I wanted to be loved, just like a cat
Maybe act capricious, on my word and at my fancy
i don't know i think it'd be cool to see :D

I am an absolute sucker for Hibiki songs, and in that sense this album has fed me VERY well, but I've GOTTA point out how good Maria's song in this album is.

trying to find a suitable translation of the poem from which my name primarily comes from is actually impossible . persian is untranslatable.
#the way me and the person i was staying w in sweden talked abt this ..made my heart hurt a little but also made me glad that i understand#such a special language. persian is made for song and poetry and so the etymology and layers of each word are carried in their meanings#to a far stronger extent than other languages ive seen including english. this makes communicating in a straightforward way#much more difficult. it makes ambiguities more common and one could easily commit some horrid#epistemic crimes against another person by warping the meaning of their words. but it makes lyricism and poetry and anything which is#supposed to have depth and meaning so much more beautiful. which is why translating a good persian poem is so so difficult. yeah you could#use the word beloved but you could also use heart you could also use soul you could also use breath you could also use stomach you could#also use life etc etc . even with more common words.. its just. the only way to get it is to translate each word to a sentence/multiple#words but then the work would lose its impact . idk#thinking abt نقطهٔ عشق دل گوشه نشینان خون کرد#this is seemingly a simple line from the poems sixth verse found in only 3 of its manuscripts. gooshe neshinan is maybe literally#translated as corner-sitters or corner-dwellers but really it means more intellectuals/contemplators/academics but it could also mean#the isolated or lonely or the people who are waiting for something. now combine all the possible meanings into one english word. you just#cant carry the same meaning and depth even for such a simple phrase. the entire line would be#the point of love made the contemplators heart bleed. except heart is also love/stomach/life/soul/etc etc. point is also dot and the sharp#point of a blade. to make bleed could also be to be bloodied or to become blood. its not that#آتش آن است که در خرمن پروانه زدند#fire is that which burns the harvest of the moth. except it has the implication that the moth is also burned whole and#that love is a form of annihilation. moth is also butterfly. khorman means harvest but it also means crop and mass and product and shock#and halo around the moon and the aura of something bright and unseperation. now combine all of that into one english word.#it is also what made me mildly frustrated with non-persian scholars writing on hafez and persian poetry arguing about what translation is#correct when the point of persian lyricism is that the beauty of the verses stems largely from the layers and layers of meaning. love is#annihilation but inherently it is also an unseperation. love is all consuming in the way the halo of a moon is and the way laughter#that wraps you in light is. you are destroyed unwillingly. you are both the butterfly unravelling and the moth burning.#all one short line. i want you to understand why i chose this name and also to understand the poetry i was born from#and why it rests on the table in our new years table and why it is used to cast fortunes and why poetry is pilgrimage and a point of#worship for us and the sheer weight this language carries!!!#(خرمن)#(beside every definition given above it also means thrill and fruits of labours and Time and panic and damage)#my brain was built around a poetic construct from the moment i was born im so happy about that

Good mooorning !
I really enjoy Reading youre Work ,and when i saw you we're having an Event i GOT an Idea :D
I Hope Its alt for you,If you dont feel comfortable writing it Its totally fine!Take youre time <3
So i was thinking of Akai x Reader x Furuya (or If you cant then them Just seperated lol)with The Song Kamisama Hajimemashita
Gooood night !!!<3
Of course, thank you v much for your ask 💕 This is perfect cause I'm about to rewatch Kamisama Kiss!!!
Akai x fem! reader x Furuya
Navi.
Warnings: none, Akai is a sniper and can 100% carry you, the lyrics reader sings roughly translates to "Hey God, I want to become a bad girl"
Wordcount: 259
Tumblr media
"What are ya humming, sweetheart?" Akai chuckled as he entered the kitchen.
"She´s been at it for the past ten minutes," Furuya told him, smiling at your swaying form.
"That so," Akai murmured and pressed a kiss to your temple, letting his hands rest on your hips.
"Nee kamisama/Warui ko ni naritai yo," you sang on, paying them no mind. Akai furrowed his eyebrows.
"You wanna be a bad girl, baby? Since when?" he teased.
That got your attention and you turned to stretch out your tongue at him.
"Does that have to do with your plans later this evening?" asked Furuya, stepping forward and brushing his knuckles over your cheek.
You turned around, flustered, and continued stirring the curry.
"Well, it´s summer and I always watch it during this time."
"Watch what?" Furuya hummed, placing soft kisses up your arm and towards your shoulder.
"...Kamisama Kiss?" you said, hopeful.
A small pause ensued, until Akai started laughing, hiding his face in your neck as he did so. Furuya couldn´t hide his fond chuckle either.
"And there I thought you´d have prepared some romantic evening."
"Wha- I have! Watching Kamisama Kiss is so romantic!"
"Course it is," Furuya hummed against your now heated cheek. "The food looks ready, shall we?"
Akai lifted his head and pressed another kiss to your temple.
"I´m ready. Ah, wait," he said, before picking you up and carrying you towards the living room. Furuya smiled as he watched you both, then turned to fill your plates and follow you soon after. You and Akai greeted him on the couch with big smiles on your lips.

Heyyy so i encountered or rather reencountered a Dutch song by comedian Claudia de Breij (went to a show of hers today! Was great) and it most of it made me think of jess? And his like father-y relationship with Luke?? If they were both less emotionally constipated, that is. I translated it, was wondering what you thought <3
Hide could also mean in this instance "take shelter"
And i dont know how accurate of an English sentence 'could i come to you' is, but its basically the same thing as 'could i come over [to Your house]'
When the war comes
And i have to hide
Could i come to you?
If there comes a club
That i dont (want to) belong to
Could i come to you?
If there comes a rule
That i cant fulfill
Could i come to you?
And if i have to be something,
That ive never been
Could i come to you?
(chorus)
Could i hide with you?
When i cant anywhere else
And if i have to cry
Will you dry my tears?
Cause if i could come to you
You can always come to me
Come whenever you want
Ill keep a room free for you
When the storm comes
And i am afraid
Could i come to you?
When the night falls
And its too dark for me
Could i come to you?
When the spring comes
And im in love
Could i come to you
If the love comes
And i know for sure
Could i come to you?
(chorus x2)
When the end comes
And i am afraid
Could i come to you?
(x2)
Reading this actually made me tear up. it fits them so well. I've been reading and re-reading the lyrics for the past 5 minutes and every time I get tears in my eyes.
thank you so much for sending this to me. Jess and Luke's relationship is very dear to me. it's one of the primary reasons why s3 is my favorite season. even at his most destructive, luke loved jess so much and jess did too, even if he didn't realize it until he grew up. like that scene when jess wouldn't comes back to stars hollow for liz's wedding but only agrees later because luke asks him to? and when jess almost freezes in his car because he's a stubborn idiot? and luke waits in his truck until he made sure jess got into the dinner safely? it makes me tear up every time. they're both too emotionally stunted but they care so much about each other.
"when the war comes, and I have to take shelter, could I come to you?"
"you're hoping for reciprocation? You got it. I'm here, Jess. I'm always here."
(I hope you had fun at the show btw! 💙)

SPOILERS FOR ELEMENTS EXCEPT ITS THE GENUINE REVELATION ANIMATION MV THEY UPLOADED SO MAYBE NOT BUT JUST IN CASE IM PUTTING IT UNDER KEEP READING my brain is not cooking anything however i need to lET MY THOUGHTS OUT FOR SOMEONE TO PUT IT TOGETHER LIKE A DETECTIVE
first of all i want to say that all that budget fr went to the quality of the mv like damn??? and i heard that theyre making an animation MVs series so we’ll be expecting more of such MVs like this in the future (MANIFESTING ALKALOID ANIMATION MVS PLS HAPPYELE)
ok but continuing on
i knew some of the context of past fine thanks to the anime, but i was unprepared at how clear they show tsumugi’s frown at the start. but then they have him smile for the performance and UGH the change in expression is so good but pAINFUL
Tumblr media
this exchange piqued my interest but i didnt know what the details were exactly until i finished the whole mv and rewatched it again. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the somewhat bittersweet/sad expression on tsumugi’s face as he looked towards eichi. then immediately followed by eichi’s look of surprise as tsumugi turns to continue singing. now my thoughts were all over the place so i actually went and search for the lyrics video of Genuine Revelation on youtube to find the english translation 
and apparently, this was the line they were singing; “The stars that can no longer shine will be annihilated”. Thankyou Nasumi Violet for their video (link sends straight to where they sing this line)
my brain is small for this i feel like this has an underlying meaning because of the contract and because this is their last performance but i feel like im reaching 
the next part that interested me was eichi’s surprised expression, and i was thinking to myself, why’s the man surprised?
Tumblr media
his eyes were kept on tsumugi’s in confusion/curiosity(???) so whAT’s happening why is this here happy ele whAT ARE YOU COOKING
so i decided to look at the other mv and went to the part where they sing the same line. you know just out of curiosity its not like they have the same movements or anyth-
Tumblr media
oh. no wonder eichi’s surprised
obviously im not expecting them to do the same choreography because their stage is different here, but this action of having their hands reached out like that is definitely something they planned beforehand. so for tsumugi to not reach his hand out the same time eichi does, maybe eichi does have a reason to be a bit surprised. not enough to disturb the performance, but enough to be taken aback
makes it a bit interesting, however, that their duo line lasts for four bars, and their hands reaching out like that only comes on the second bar. However, tsumugi reached out for eichi on the first bar. a whole, 4 count bar before eichi does it (that is to say, the one in the animation mv, eichi’s hand reaching out was delayed slightly compared to the game mv but its basically the same thing)
its one thing to have their choreography be like that, camera angles and everything. but its another thing if eichi tenshouin is SURPRISED mid performance and thEY MADE THAT VERY CLEAR 
i also noticed, at least for the game mv, that this was the only time tsumugi and eichi interacted onstage. the other 89% of the time, the two were apart with hiyori and nagisa between them, as if deliberately keeping them separate
so for tsumugi to not even have his hand out the same time eichi does, where its the ONLY time for them to interact onstage, on their LAST performance together makes it oh so painful 
ignoring technicalities aside, its also like tsumugi cant bear to look at eichi for long. and eichi’s surprised expresssion while he reached out to tsumugi, who’s turned away from him, its like he’s watching someone slip away from his fingers, the consequences of his actions catching up to him and he’s not even realizing it
anyway they did amazing i cant wait for eccentric party night <3333

Current Tag Game
Tagged by @waitmyturtles and @telomeke –Thank u for tagging me
Current time: 9:49am (when I started this!).
Current activity: Killing time while waiting for my tires to be changed and doing the tags game i neglected (sorry guys, executive function and all)
Currently thinking about: That i am tired and cant make simple decisions in life. I have been having existential crises everyday for the past month because I am seeing things about my future, where i will go, what am i going to work with, will i do a master, come back to my country or try a new thing? No idea. I just know that i need to stop procrastinating it
Current favorite song: This change so much that is hard to say. Today I am in the mood for some old brazilian songs and was remembering my dad favorite "Engenheiros Do Hawaii - Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava Os Beatles E Os Rolling Stones" but this is a translation of C'era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones. Anyway I am ging to In this moment concert today so their music is also in my mind. Also obsessed with Only Friends soundtrack and with the whole almbum Mono by RM (higly reccomend to listen with the lyrics)
Currently reading: Hannibal Fanfics, i guess, but just when i have the phone on hand
Currently watching: Kiseki dear to me and just finished the first episode of Kimi ni wa Todokanai, but it did not catch me. Plus Shadow the series my current obsession.
Current favorite character: I would say this week I am obsessed with the shadow from shadow the series, does this count? no idea.
I will not tag anyone since I am doing so many late tags game and do not want to overwhelm anyone (plus i am shy)

hey cyan do you have any tips on making playlists for ocs? i always feel like the songs i use dont really connect to each other
OMG HI OF COURSE i have been waiting for this question all my life actually :) ← sitting very still and being very contained about this but is actually a little insane
didnt realize i was actually passionate enough to write like over 1500 words about this but here i am. in my typical autismguy fashion this is probably less like outright tips and more like me explaining my process to you via bullet pointed list and hoping that something will click and help you in your endeavors. if you have any questions about any points or whatnot feel free to lmk :) but for now take this infodump about playlistmaking and also about my brain guys a bit
usually for me, the end goal of a character playlist is mixing together music that fits the characters vibe with lyrics that are plot/character relevant. my first step in creating a playlist for one of my ocs then is figuring out what kind of music my character would listen to and best gets them across
using mavis’ playlist as an example, genre-wise i ended up going with some mix of what i like to call “entry level indie/alt” (so like two door cinema club, the killers, the strokes, things along those lines) and like, new-wave-or-other-adjacent-kind-of-stuff (like talking heads or lcd soundsystem). 
so the mindset behind that choice is that a) mavis is, you know, The Protagonist. therefore i wanted the playlist to have a feel of like... if i put some of these songs in some quirky movie as the opening tune, itd make sense. because that fits into mavis’ sort of desperate want to be The Main Character and her want to live this sort of idealized life that shes made up in her head, which are character traits that really plagued her before she ended up going through a portal into a different dimension (and traits that sort of inform her approach to the whole showing up in a different dimension thing as well) b) mavis is like, kind of a pretentious kid. she has a vinyl collection, she probably thinks her music taste is better than yours, she is trying a little too hard to be cool and chill all the time, etc etc. she takes some pride in being a little bit obscure. i dont see her as OVERBEARINGLY obscure though. i just thought it would be kind of funny to make her this kind of person who would tell you shes about to put you on something and then play nirvana or whatever
^ essentially this is about translating the characters quirks into the language of music
id like to mention that there can totally be outliers for the sake of prioritizing the lyrics half of the previously mentioned end goal, which is the more important half to me anyways – like if i find a song with strong lyrics but weaker genre-specificity, im probably going to throw it into the playlist anyways. i cant imagine mavis listening to everything everything but you do what you gotta do yknow.
^ and also this is not something you HAVE to think about if you dont really care about a playlist fitting into that characters music taste or whatever
the second step is all the more subjective because this is the part where we get into finding plot relevant lyrics. the most helpful thing in my opinion at this point for finding songs with good and fitting lyrics is either to have some pre-existing imagery in mind for your character, or to basically just have the ability to create threads between the songs imagery and your character. while there are going to be times that you run into obvious jackpots where it just so happens that this song fits your brain guy so well that it was practically made for them, for me it usually comes down to that imagery/thread bit
so using a song i picked for kirabo as an example: pulaski by andrew bird, i thought was a good pick for their Vibe and all but again i always want every song on a character playlist to kind of serve a purpose pretty much? the lyrics for pulaski are like, NOT hyperspecifically fitting at all, but to me it is an incredibly plot- and character-relevant song for kirabo. and here is why:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ its very convoluted and this is all just my insane person approach btw. but creating associations like this actually really helps me personally in finding more songs for the character that are plot relevant even if theyre not PERFECT per se. a lot of this stuff just comes to me after thinking about the lyrics a regular amount (aka after making brain AMVs about the little guys that live in my mind for hours at a time).
another way that these associations and imageries end up being useful is in the way that you can make connections between characters with them. an example to show that uses lea and trinity, two characters who have songs that share recurring themes of war and "the underground", which makes for interesting ways to compare and contrast their mindsets on certain things and shared history:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ BASICALLY, these connections become a surprise tool that help you later because eventually you will come across more songs that use similar ideas but different perspectives, and you can use this to either portray character progression or character relationships, which in turn helps with Lyrical Flow because you have reoccurring imagery. and i get all of this just by thinking about the lyrics a little harder than i probably should
some other less convoluted tips for finding songs would be looking at playlists for characters that are similar to your oc (if you trust other peoples music tastes like that), or a fun thing i like to do is go through discographies/albums and try to find at least one song from that artist or album for each of my characters if i can :) like its fun and i simply think every character in the world should have a government assigned everything everything song
my only other advice for finding songs otherwise is to use spotifys little recommendation section under the playlist to your absolute advantage, use music-map or things like it, idk. godspeed soldier because its just hard finding new songs.
third step is probably the easiest :) at this point, once i get a good amount of songs together i throw them into a playlist, and then i open up a google doc or a sticky note and write them all down. in the note i create sections which basically work to divide the playlist into the beats of the characters arc and organize the songs into those sections. heres a picture to show what i mean by that:
Tumblr media
^ so like "establishing songs" are songs that i think best get the personality of the character across. every section afterwards is sort of about the beginning beats to mavis' character arc. this step just helps you make sure that the songs are In Order and actually serve a purpose in the playlist rather than just like ... being there
Tumblr media
i usually also take this as an opportunity to reorganize the playlist if i realize that certain lyrics dont flow right wrt that characters arc or the plot
my character playlists nearly always go through multiple iterations, and i am pretty much always finding songs, so this restructuring bit is something that i repeat like. literally all the fucking time.
OKAY. OTHER RANDOM TIPS:
i like to update my playlists with the same amount of songs all together, so i have a playlist just called “add later” that i put all of those extra songs on. this also helps me, when i DO go to update a playlist, keep track of what songs are being added as well as comb through those songs to really make sure i want them on the playlist or if it was an impulse add. think of it like that one pinterest board you have for unorganized inspo pins or whatever
i also like to use instrumental songs as “interludes” between the sections in my playlists, because to me thats better than like. just abruptly going into the next section (or ill try to find good “in between'' songs if i dont feel like using an instrumental song) ^_^ this is also something that helps alot with the Sound Flow, which is probably what youre looking for.
which wrt Sound Flow, i mean it is really just about listening to two songs and being like wow these sound similar enough so i think they should be in the same area. idk. not exactly rocket science and i honestly dont think too hard about it, usually ill just listen to the beginnings and ending parts of songs that are next to eachother just to make sure its not too jarring
i think thats about it. go forth and make the playlist of your dreams

a few days ago i made a post linking my old kazui analysis/speculation and mentioned in the tags my haruka gender cannibal theory. someone reblogging mentioned wanting to see it. i forgor until now. to be honest i dont think i have much to say it feels very self explanatory but maybe im just that unwell. anyway. let us begin. a few months ago i made a post discussing my reading of haruka as a trans girl. then an interview with yamanaka & deco*27 was translated. when “weakness” comes up, deco*27 says: “this is a song about cannibalism.” it made sense. immediately i messaged tshirt “ok. so haruka literally and or figuratively cannibalized her sisters gender.” from the first time i saw “weakness”, it did come across to me as a song of self-conflict/resentment and guilt. haruka repeatedly expresses self hate and plenty of guilt throughout the song and one line that has always stood out to me is “how many more times do i have to do this before i can be human?” but wait, im getting ahead of myself. the visual of him and the girl (sister?) together and the lyrics, “the right future unfairly chose the wrong me” immediately gave me the impression that to be that girl was harukas ideal self and his actions stemmed partially from the desire to become her, especially if his mother had tolerated his femininity prior to getting a “real” daughter (which is also why haruka has clung so tightly to muu; she validates the mannerisms hes taking from her and thus his femininity the way his mother once had) in the old post of mine that i linked up there i discussed the whys of what made “all knowing and all agony” reaffirm my initial read of haruka but i also dont think haruka knows any of this. to be clear haruka does not know you can be transgender. he just knows if he doesnt keep cannibalizing aspects of the important women in his life then he will blow up and die or something. its like kano from kagepro except haruka cant literally wear the appearance of dead women in his life like kano does since hes so socially isolated and hasnt received any education accommodation (for his autism. because hes autistic but this is a separate issue from the gender cannibalism. or perhaps connected, but autism gender is another post for another day) he has no idea that he can just...not be a boy. that people like that exist. who is going to break the news

i loved the hyungs bf texts too! i cant wait for the maknaes <3 also omg u care for lyrics ???? i’ve been looking for someone who cares for them like me!! everyone else focuses more on the melody and most of them doesn’t read the lyrics at all and it’s so sad :(((
greetings! ahh i’m so glad!! i hope you like the maknae texts 🫶
ohmygod do i… >.< in general, i’m such a lover of words, so i’m not surprised i’ve become a lyrics enthusiast. however, i need the melody and production to be there too. magical lyrics aren’t enough for me, and i hate loving the lyrics but not connecting to the sound
coming to love korean music has been so fun bc i get to rediscover lyrics. i’ll remember the overall message, but i can never remember every lyric’s direct translation, so rereading translations to reignite or enhance my love for different songs has become a true pleasure 🖤
everyone is different, though! nothing wrong with caring more about the melody 😌 we’re all just here enjoying the medicine that is music and having at least one element click is a joy/win in my eyes >.<

Ranking Crossing the Line (Tangled) lyrics by how Throbb they are
Only doing ones that have readily available translation on YouTube for my sanity, feel free to recommend me more
Danish: brought it home with that "some are chosen and some were never free to choose" instead of "the chosen and the rest" which was imho slightly a wateringdown of the Throbb Dynamic and continued relentlessly to bring it home until the end. I particularly enjoy that its iirc the only one that says "I've tried to deny the divide" rather than cross/fight the divide which is imho very Theon thisisfine.jpg, if-i-smile-no-one-cant-tell-im-powerless attitude
Swedish: the hardest to rank as it's the one that most actively adds Throbb with the emphasis on the sovereign/subject submission kink but also most actively removes Throbb by doing so to the expense of the "There's a line between the winners and the losers" line which is essential to me. Starks are winners and Greyjoys are losers and it was decided in 283 and cemented in 289 and it informed this whole relationship. Still deserves a high rank bc "the path to be by your side was steep" and ESPECIALLY "the line between lady in waiting and comrade was a line you kept changing to your heart's content" have no right to be in this Disney princesses friendship breakup instead of my favorite ACOK chapter Theon 1.5
Polish: "Everything works different than you think" ??😭 talk about showing and not telling that condescension! I do think it loses some by calling Rapunzel a fake friend rather than someone who thought to be Cassandra's friend, not Throbb-like at all. But I love the bitter depth of "there's a distance between winning and losing as there is between good and evil" and I find this to be the shippiest version so yeah reluctantly putting this as better than the original
Original: beautiful, fraught, hard to improve.
Brazillian Portiguese: Good in similar ways to the Polish having a really condescending Rapunzel and a little gem in "there's a line between the strong and the rest" and "you've never been told a no" (side note but some of these are BRUTALLY ignoring Rapunzel's actual upbringing of 18 years in a tower are they. More fitted for Throbb than for the original). However it kinda lacks evilness, its a very princessy I want song about challenging oneself and shining in the world, no 'taking what's mine'
German: meh imho as a translation but great as Throbb fuel having a lot of emphasis on Evil Grand Plans and that "Born a loser" line. Yes thats Theon no notes no criticism
Korean: lovely faithful translation lacking a bit of evil but that "I'll find again the me I lost" made me do a little Theon-feels skip
Italian: uncommonly good Italian translation with no particular Throbbiness imho. "The line between the choosers and those who endure/thanks to you I certainly won't forget it" heightened the bitterness but reduces imho the agency and blame of "its a line you never let me quite ignore". I do love the antihero vibes of "before you can push somewhere you might lose yourself" in the opening duet though
French: largely faithful But Worse. I do find the "Cassandra, listen" "thats all I ever do" exchange an improvement on the original but not particularly Theon-like as a sentiment

Hi, same anon from the past few asks haha. Anyways, saw on twt (@cutieyongsoo) that the lyrics Junji sings roughly translate to “you let my spirit free, give me permission / allow me to carve/scupt you however i want / however my heart pleases”. Thoughts ??? 🤔🤔 - 🕯anon
omg hi anon!! yes u read my mind i was planning to make a post abt these lyrics and u sent this ask at the perfect time
given that we only have what we're given in the teaser and idk korean so i cant be sure of the original tone of the lyrics, this will be less what i think the storyline is actually gonna be and more of what i hope it will be
earlier this month, junhyung said that his solo has a "dark" vibe and i really really hope that it indeed does. ik it's not everyone's cup of tea, but i want smth toxic n sexy n angsty from jolo, a story w temptation n deception and manipulation etc etc etc bc i think that would be fun and ooo has always tackled those themes well
the carving/sculpting metaphor very much reminds me of dora maar + picasso, the story of a manipulative and controlling artist who actually only sees his muse as a means to further his own artistry, to make into what he wants, rather than a person who deserves respect in her own right. in these songs, ooo portrays a relationship in which picasso continuously denies dora maar's own personhood and identity in favor of depicting her how he wants to, rather than how she actually is
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this also reminds me of gaslighting, i mean the song as a whole, but also specifically this part of yongsoo's rap, in which the speaker is essentially "giving permission" for the other person to control/shape them however they want
Tumblr media
im especially a fan of the theory that jolo and rolo will have like good v evil, light v dark, heaven v hell type vibes. im always down for a concept like that, and we know ooo deals w these themes incrediblyyyy well, both the dichotomy of it + the religious slant to it (e.g. sage, asoiaf, tear of god, etc). given junji's shirt in the teasers depicts the temptation of st. anthony, i think there's a good chance, that if the concept does end up being along these lines, that, in this story, junji will be the evil/devil/satan/tempter/temptation, and rie will be the good/temptee (?), etc etc
i know the first part especially of those translated lyrics, "you let my spirit free, give me permission," can be interpreted more sweetly, like a cautious lover seeking to find freedom in love (a la yolo/kolo), But i still think it can work in my theory's favor. of course, in biblical accounts of temptation, satan is manipulative and often tempts with sweet words and ideas that seem so good, so reasonable, so loving, etc, that it seems like there's no way this could be evil/the devil saying these things, so i think that could be the case w these lyrics too
and there's something about this shot that feels like it has sooo much potential for this theory
Tumblr media
like the way junji is smiling, the way rie looks so unassuming and unexpecting. and also the way that junji knocks on the phonebooth while rie is here at sunset/sunrise (?) all alone. temptation is strongest when you're alone, and in biblical accounts, that is often when the devil chooses to strike, the most well-known account probably being when satan waits for eve to be alone before coming down and tempting her to eat from the tree of knowledge
Tumblr media
this feels different from begin/be free. while we cant be sure that junji doesnt approach rie in the cafe/laundromat (?), the way the teaser makes it seem is that he first notices rie there, when kb and yoojung are also there, but doesnt really choose to make a move until rie is alone. with begin/be free, there were constantly extras outside of the cafe and esp in that final scene of begin, people passing in front of the cafe window, while kb and yoojung are inside, in a very wong kar-wai, making a story focusing on two people but very much also depicting the life of the city that serves as a background to this story, way, but so far, that doesnt seem to be as much the case here. ik for this part esp, i may be reading a bit much into it, but it's fun to think abt regardless <3
those are my thoughts for now! very very excited for the next mv teaser and to see what jolo will bring <33
EDIT: HOLY SHIT HOW DID I FORGET TO TALK ABOUT THE CAPTION
Tumblr media
i actually dont have Much to say abt it bc these lines just make me 😵💫, but, like also these clearly have soooo much potential for the satanic tempter storyline. like junji, the tempter who ruins/makes impure rie like hello??
(also the second line is a bit awkwardly translated, but @/cutieyongsoo on twt also did a reworked translation: it’s better translated as “i’ll do whatever my hand wants” or “i’ll do as my hand pleases,” which of course has very picasso + dora maar vibes)

DBH new ending part 2
Update: The english version just came out and we got the name for Chance's little brother. Ron will be renamed to Seth (Se for short). S already is used for selena so i had to use the next best option here. I will leave his name for the current parts but from part 3 onwards he will get his real name instead of this. and yes, Nicole's kids has his name translated as well but i keep him Named bully. Fits him better
so obviously nicoles kids has been born already as has Selena's. N's kid is still the normal bully kid as in the normal ending. And since we dont know the English name of sel's kid we will call him Ron.
We are starting off with nicole and julie playing with the babies including ron bc sel got pretty busy with some issues in the bar and nicole offered to watch ron with the other young kids. Ron isnt much of a fan of Na for some reason. And he doesn't hang around bully either. Thankfully chance knows his little brother best and helps out where ever he can. Ct is still being a fucking brick to our sweet boy, but what else is new. Na starts showing some symptoms of her needing her treatment but bc bully is being his usual self he cant stand it that the grown ups pay attention to her at this moment.
Chance went up with julie while aida and ct try to comfort him. We all know they would do that. (I wont even need to explain why if you are a long time reader) anyway, j asked c to do certain tasks. By that time na already has been grwon to a toddler, and gets very whiney when ut comes to this procedure. Chance tries to calm her down with a song that sel sings to ron and it works for a good minute until the machine does its thing. But after that she stopped crying eventually and they went back down. Ron tries to reach c and he is all content when he was finally picked up.
After c went home with his brother per pick up The adults talk about some boring stuff about their jobs. Bc that nonsene needs to be in there in the majority of the chapters as far as i know from this book lol. C & r arrive home right b4 they had dinner. Mitchell informs him that his mom might not be able to attend but to his surprise his dad will. By then their relationship has gotten way better than a few years ago. E even calls him his son once in a while. While the guys eat, c told him about the incident with bully and na aswell. After hearing what happened E was in thinking of something but b4 he could tell him what his opinion was a interrupted by a tiny light turquoise tiger. Her name is Lolly and is the same bot as tigger was. Just as a girl and more confident. She asked her 'big brother' why he hasnt brought her along. C told her about his day as well and e just stopped trying to get his attention.
Next moring levi and chance were going to school. They are still very good friends but they usually hang around their own group of friends. The day goes on without a hitch and the 2 boys wait for their rides. Fisher was on a trip with his own parents, after they and n proswayed him to go. He didn't want to go at first, bc that would mean to leave bratty and bully behind. But in the end he went with them.
The 2 Boys wait ouside for their rides. And they finally see Mt driving around the corner. After the kids said their goodbyes, c went inside the car. But b4 they could drive home someone called out to them. It was Aida (Ai for short) with lv's little brother. Ai and Mt talked for a bit b4 her attention went back to c. C wasnt sure what she wanted from him so he asked her what she wanted to tell him. She cut to the chase and asked what this song was that he sang to na last time. Na seemed to calm down the ebst with it where as other song barely did the trick. They tried looking it up on the internet but to no avail. C just told her that his mom (Selena) made up a Melodie and some lyrics bc r wasnt cooperating very well when he needed to sleep. He heared it so many times that he doesn't need to think about it too long. If his parents have their usual bickerings or are getting some much needed rest from the parenting, he would step up as a big brother and sing it to him. That's why r has become so clingy forwards his older sibling and basically became his comfort person as well.
Ai asked if he could write it down or make a recording of the song. Na has been at her worst since the last few treatments and k was somehow making it worse. C promised that he will do that when he has done his homework. And just as he promised, after he had dealt with his housework he was thinking to just scan the texts and send them to the Stanton's. But went against the idea in case they didnt know the rest of the melody. He went to sel, who was prepearing some afternoon snacks in the kitchen, c asked her if he could record her singing to the song so that he could send it to Na's family. But sel had a better idea. She asked why they wont just do it together. As a duo they make it the ebst after all in her opinion. Said and done, they recored their song on his phone and send to them as well.
A few days later, the Ferguson family got invitrs to a party that was held by some business partner of e. They talked a bit with the guests there and eventually run into n and her dad. Not much going on there other than n thanking s and c for their help with the lullaby. E wasnt aware of it up until now so he was surprised they didnt tell him about it. S gave him a snarcky remark, as she does ^^, and we cut to bratty and ct where they help taking care of the house. Bratty continues being a pouting crapbag, and ct just ignores the obvious red flags.
some time passes by and Na and bully have grown into 5 year olds by then. The kids get ready for their day in kindergarten. Bully isnt much different from the original. He still is bratty's little clone, & na has finally her medicine that she would take a few times a day. N makes sure that everything has been done until they hear a car coming. Na gets all excited and gets to the door first. Mt was waiting with c and lv to pick them up, for their way to school is also passing by their kindergarten building. Over time na has gotten close with the 2 boys while she and bratty had rather a rocky relationship. She never liked ultraman and if they played w/ each other she rather wanted to play a girl role rather than a superhero. And the show was to loud for her as well. So to say that they weren't the bestest of friends wouldnt be a lie.
With c on the other hand, she could play as a princess all day long. R was still not interacting a lot w her even tho c & s tried their best to make it fun for everyone involved. But unfortunately r & na never got along. At least they acknowledge eachothers presence unlike with bully. They try to ignor him to a normal extend. He really is a freaking menace to them & other kids.
back outside the stanton youngins ride in the car. While bully does his own thing na tells her 2 cousins (chance might not be blood related but they still call him that) about her weekend. Out of no where lolly and tigger came out of their hiding places . lolly was in c' backbag and tigger in Na's handbag. Noone knew that they snuck in with them either. Gg and ll (tigger and lolly respectively) started talking and laughing together in the car so loud that even mt noticed the Racket. But bc they were already so close to their first destination he just kept quiet.
Back at the Ferguson's house. E is still working in his office bc he (partially) watches over R while s has a nap after watching him for hours on end. He helped her but his work alsways keeps him busy. At first s was skeptical about him handeling a toddler and company at the same time, but she was to tired to put up a fight. There have been a few times where he was at his wits end but e would find a solution after a long time thinking about it. There were monets he wished that c was stilled homeschooled so that he cohld help with his brother. He and his wife know how well the 2 boys get along. at the beginning s wanted r to go to a very good kindergarten nearby or even go with the Stanton kids. But e wasnt for it, she doesnt know but the reason he didnt want him to be with the other 2 younger kiddos was bc of bully.
He had noting against Na, he liked her well enough. But something always mad him feel uneasy when he sees him around his or their families. Back when c told with the incident when his son visited them, he wanted to ask a few questions but bc of his 'Daughter' he forgot it over time. Yes, he treates ll as his own kid, loke n does with gg (somewhat). He dottes on her and even makes sure to give her gifts on her bday (her activation day)
some backstory for those who want to know about ll ^^
they went to the lab with c where they manufacture and prepare the robots afyer a few months had passed. Like n did with gg. E wasnt originally going to come along. But with some persuasion of s and c he caved in. S's belly was still growing from her baby inside her. Grant showed them their models and some of the new plans in case they wanted to transfer their bots conscious into the newes versions. The fam checkes out a good bunch of the smaller bots but they didnt really seem to like them as much as tigger. E still liked him even after gg told him about his mistake. He was on N with this, that he wasn't to blame, although he wished that he could have known about his mistake, bc he felt really embarrassed thinking back on their interactions w/ each other. but he realized if he would have changed his actions back then he might have not met s and they wouldnt be as happy as they are now. The 3 fergusons gey to an other room and there they saw other animals this time. Aside of little tigers, there were bears, kittens, puppies and even some differenr kind of birds.
grant tells them that they had requests comming in for other animal bots. Some liked birds more than felines while others would rather have something forest related. But c still wantes to have a tiger so they dont feel out of place when they meet gg for the 1st time. They finally fond a good model after some recommendations from the workers. The bot they showed last was a light turquoise Tiger bot with small white paws and a white belly. What they liked about her tho was not the color of the fur and such but her eyes. They were almost sky blue with a sea blue gradient. they turned her on and her personality was determined on the ppl in the room and the bots installed ai. And her personality was what they were hoping for. A polite girl with some fun elements for the kids. She was smart but also very cuddly forwards the 3. She even knew how far she could go with the snuggles and talking depending kn who she was with. E wasnt really a hugger so she sat on his shoulder most of the time. But with s she could go in her handbag and snooze. They bought her after they finalized their contract and their ID installment. When they got home they showed her the baby room with the crib inside. Ll was exited to hear that she gets a bby brother after some more waiting. C was allowed to choose her name, bc he was the one who wanted to have this bo. But also bc s knew he wanted to be a part of the decision as well. C thought of some names days prior and called her lolly. E was not exactly a fan of it and the 2 compromised tha her full name would be Lolita Bethany Anna Ferguson. S was so over it and was trying evrythin to make them change their decision. But e always wantes a girl, while he loved his upcoming bby boy, and obviously c as well, if they had a girl she would have been one of those 2 names. But they promissed to call her Lolly as a nickname. lolita was just a name so that it works with the name lolly.
c introduced ll to hjs friends in school once, and while lv wasnt in the same class as him, he still came to visit a few times of he gets bored. There he saw ll for the 1st time and was impressed that she was so well behaved. He had visitee the lab a few times but sometimes he would meet some wild action animals running on thw floor w/o any care. C asked if he could visit his family to let them meer his new siste, to which lv was not hesistand to agree to his request. A few days later S and c came to the Stanton's, for their usual playdate with r and na. N wasn't around bc she was in the hosp for she got her baby a few weeks ago. S was worried that she would stay for so long. But j calms her friend down, telling her that ct wanted to be on the safe side for his second kid, but they promissed to video call later that day to see the tiger girl. Ll got to eet thw humans first and had soem fun playing with c and little Michael. Yes, he is back and finally over his creepy crush on n. He brought his current gf with him. We dont need ro name her, LM changes his gf every few months or so. He became a playboy of sorts and he doenst get flag for it as much as we hope he would.
I have to keep it somewhat book canon, otherwise it will just be a silly fanfic 😋😅 He and ct arent as close as b4 since he studied abroad but he still keeps up with their lives in a way. When S and c left their home it was getting very late. They lost track of time and had to getbhome fast. As they arrived home, e was already waiting for them on the sofa asking what they had for breakfast to them be so irresponsible. Ll took it into her own paws to defend her mom and big brother. E was astounded by her arguments, wondering how a weeks old roboter can be so smart. After dinner they s got a call on her ipad, as she saw the id name she called the boys (and girl) over. N and ct were in the hosp, n laying in her bed and ct sitting on the night stand. The fergs congratulated on their new born and when n asked for their newest member ll wasnt shy to jump scare them. Ct wasnt happy for the sudden appearance but n was just laughing after she got over her little scare. Tigger then crawled up the bed and the 2 clicked immediately. The 2 bots talked more than the humans did and they had to close the call for them to stop. After they said they goodbyes and gratulated again on their new baby.
Part 3 next

albums, songwriting, voice!
HIII ILY
Albums: What are some of the albums the band has released? Are they a consistent style? What themes did they explore?
this is an inside joke my sister and i have had for 15 years but their debut ep is "I'm Not A Dog Psychiatrist, But..." which was raw garbage and largely messy but it has a small cult following because of the amateur sound. The first album they released after seven left was "I Don't Wait for the Final Hour." Their sound cleaned up a bit over time, but they still use a lot of just absolutely nasty crunchy base licks and guitar riffs. After seven left, they took on a more math rock sound with more complex guitar progression to fill in the gap.
Now, Stoja really focuses on themes of isolation, desire, vengeance, and fraught relationships. and also about how sexy stoja is and how everyone wants her lol. there's a lot about how her body is the only thing of use for people around her and that no one will love her with the same intensity that she loves them, but she sings it while shaking ass
Songwriting: What’s their process? Is it different than it was when they used to write songs with Seven?
i cant think of the word i want rn lmao, but i think stoja's writing process is a lot like automatic painting, where it just strikes her at one moment and she vomits up lyrics and melodies and the rest of the band kind of translates it into something usable. lots of humming and finger tapping and then asking "you know what i mean?" and the answer is usually a yes. songwriting with seven had a lot more compromise but they both served as editors to each other, where now stoja is the main writer. she also writes more from a place of anger and pain rather than the emotional high she did when she was with seven.
Voice: What does their singing voice sound like? Do you have voiceclaims(s) for them?
i imagine her voice pretty much as the lead singer of spiritbox courtney laplante! this video i think does a great job of showing of her range of singing to screaming
