Burn the Witch - Queens of the Stone Age
Doll Parts - Hole
Even the Score - Toronto
Everyday is Halloween - Ministry
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage

Did you know of/listen to FOB/Pete before reading Gray or did the book come first?
I knew about FOB because everyone did in 2013 but I wasnt really like A Fan until I read Pete’s book. Anyway this is my origin story
In February 2013 I was in 8th grade. And I was in marching band. So as you can imagine the biggest thing in the world was FOB getting back together and MCR breaking up. My songs know what you did in the dark was also on the radio 24/7.
Anyway, I was already on Tumblr to post about Supernatural. And the average 14yo used to be able to download massive zip files of whatever music was cool off Tumblr to their iPod. I remember loving Where Did The Party Go and listening to it on the bus. But to me this was just Popular Music like The 1975 or Bastille.
And there was also a website called 8tracks where everyone would make playlists about fandoms and you could download those too, and I remember Just One Yesterday was on every Supernatural fan mix because its about angels.
Anyway there was also something happening at the same time called YouTube Could Be On The TV Now and only one girl at my lunch table had this kind of TV so after school groups of people would go watch youtube videos like charlie the unicorn at her house and someone showed the Youngblood Chronicles because it was like the most edgy dark fucked up thing any 14 year old had ever seen.
I was a little excessively sheltered so it was too scary for me but I did think it was cool, however I distinctly remember being absolutely crushed when Pete came onscreen because they hyped him up as the sexy one and then I thought he was ugly as hell and had no interest in him. Sorry. I did understand Patrick was good looking but I didn’t like, care. It is difficult to comprehend this now but in 2013 FOB was an inescapable cultural phenomenon Happening At School.
Anyway because I was in marching band we went on a Band Trip and you had to use the buddy system but nobody wanted to be my buddy. So the band director made me and another unpopular girl named Jennifer be buddies, and we immediately ended up BFFs for all of high school. She was extremely obsessed with bands like MCR, Pierce the Veil, Slipknot, Sleeping with Sirens etc that were a little beyond Fall Out Boy in terms of edginess.
Anyway I started hanging out with her friend group which was like the emo lunch table. Out of all those bands I only could tolerate MCR. My mom also did not want me hanging out with these people because they all smoked cigarettes and had lip piercings and dyed their hair and had like a million stepdads.
Anyway pretty soon after this happened a bunch of girls in this friend group got tickets to see The Used and we wanted to be FRONT ROW so we slept over at Jennifer’s house.
At this sleepover we like made matching tshirts and listened to the Three Cheers CD and smoked tea rolled in printer paper (very cool) and double-pierced my ears because I didn’t have as many piercings. I screamed the entire time and everyone like permanently bent the toilet seat while this was happening and it was all very dramatic.
Anyway everyone had brought books and homework because we were going to get to the venue at the crack of dawn. Which was NOT necessary. NOBODY was camping for this concert. And one girl had brought Pete’s book and I ended up with it pretty quickly after getting there.
Once I started reading it, I couldn’t stop and was ignoring my friends and basically everything happening around me because it is the best book ever and I needed to finish it.
I read the entire thing in basically one sitting and when we had to go into the venue I had just a handful of pages left so I finished it between doors and the show starting and made my friend’s annoyed mom put it in her purse. Then we immediately saw The Used center barricade which was a very intense early concert experience. Bert is a really great live performer and was growling in our faces a lot and like biting wires and writhing around and there was the wall of death and a mosh pit and everything.
So as you can imagine this was all a permanently psyche altering experience for me but especially the book. Part of why I became so obsessed with it as a teen was I was really frustrated and upset everyone on Tumblr and every adult in my life hadn’t even read it but was so insistent it was a garbage book and it shouldn’t be my favorite. I brought it in for an assignment like 2 months after I first read it and got into an argument with my English teacher, who had actually been my favorite teacher ever up until that, and she was really condescending about it.
She gave me a B that was definitely not justified and probably the only time I’d ever gotten a B on an English assignment so I was extremely mad and like Needed To Be Right.
She was mad it was glorifying sex and drugs and mental illness or whatever and I was like arguing it was good and it was satire and she was like “this is absolutely not satire and its rotting your impressionable brain.”
Anyway I remember even on my first reading picking up on some of the Freud stuff and the use of racial terms which kind of clued me into the fact it was not being played completely straight and there was more going on. And I literally was right and it is the best book ever.
I read it over and over and took it to school and slept with it under my pillow from ages 14-17 until I discovered Green Day. Which is like a normal experience a lot of 14 year olds have with a book, but usually it’s like the catcher in the rye or whatever.
But anyway during this period I got super into Pete and Fall out boy lore and reading Chris’ journals because Pete is very cute and fall out boy are very good also

I've been steadily archiving Transformers 8tracks playlists I like as I'm listening to them (when 8tracks is working enough to use at all.)
With the way 8tracks is, I figure some people besides myself could be interested in this, so I might make a place like a google drive or something to share these.
I'm making txt files of the playlists, including: the title, song names in intended order (including the album name and year if it says), original url, name of the creator, anything they wrote under "NOTES", and any annotations they've included.
I'm also saving the cover art and a screenshot of the playlist's page as it appears on 8tracks. I don't have a screenshot for every one I've saved yet, since it just occurred to me to do that.
I haven't been getting the actual songs, since that takes a lot more time.
Surprisingly, I was unable to find a way the songs could be ripped from 8tracks. If anyone knows a convenient way to do that, I'd be curious to hear about it. I'm better with computers than most people, but I don't know the first thing about programming, so any solution needing knowledge about that would probably miss me.

2 & 9 for opal!
2. What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?
He knows what he's doing. Not all of it can be chalked up to dumb boy who doesn't know better.
9. Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?
I like this question. Here is his playlist! And attached favorite lyrics like the 8tracks days. I can't say who he's referring to in every song, but maybe you might have some ideas?
Well, I'm just a kid of ill repute / But the skin I wear's my only suit / And you, you're just a substitute / For the one that I hold dear
2. The blocking characters are plotting new disloyalty / But sensing their irrelevance, they're frowning and displeased / The car chased through the mini-mall, amaryllis on the hood
3. All these things I've tried, boy, be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young
4. I'M SCARED! THAT I! WON'T E! VER CHANGE! I THINK! ABOUT! HER E! VERY DAY! I CAN'T! LET GO! I CAN'T! GO ON! I'M NOT! OKAY! AT ALL!
5. Hey there Mr. Blue! We're so pleased to be with you!
6. 'Cuz my heart is my keep! / And yo-u-u-u-u-u are threatening me!
7. The ache of a decade / the cure is overdue / for this brand-new kind of blue
8. You told me I'm hard to live with, but you said it out of spite! / I may put you through some suffering but I'll never prove you right! / It's a chapter that you're stuck on, but you'd rather read alone / I'm an uninspiring ending, but the best you've ever known!
9. Once I was the King of Spain / now I eat humble pie / A palatial palace, that was my home / now I eat humble pie
10. All My Friends Are Falling In Love / I know that if I was to set you free / You'd let them take you away from me
11. The sleeping beauty of the wasteland / Carry the milk or pierce the body with swords / machine guns, flowers, and peacock feathers
12. You got a reaction / You got a reaction, didn't you? / You took a white orchid / You took a white orchid turned it blue
13. 'Cuz what if I become my mother's / sole reputation? / and with no hesitation / i just burn all night
14. You are an unfit rival / By spirits taught to sing / But a tune so twisted now / Like all that's sweet's gone sour
15. I hug myself hard / How come there's peacocks in the front yard?
16. One girl's not so loud, like a convert she believes / She's always been looking for wires / But now she knows none are required / It's magic
17. I can see now you've stepped into the light / You've got those bright kind of eyes that I like / I kinda lie and I can't find a way through / I've obscured my own view / Well I'd do anything to make you mine
18. I just want to know what your feathers are made out of / Is it bruises or roses or cradles or coffins? (It's all those!) / Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest? / If your friends are all cripple, all wither, all wilt / I know, I know, I know
19. My name should be trouble / my name should be woe! / 'cuz trouble heartache / is all that I know! / Lonely lonely blue boy / is my name!
20. Don't occupy my throne, give me the crown I own / Lived like you told me how, look at me now
21. Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen / Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention / I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
22. [no lyrics]
23. Misjudged your limits / Pushed you too far / Took you for granted / I thought that you needed me more, more, more
24. Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone / You wish that they hadn't, you don't wanna be alone / But they wanna kiss and they got homes of their own
25. What she asked of me at the end of the day/ Caligula would have blushed!
26. [no lyrics]
27. Today I am / A small blue thing / Like a marble / Or an eye / With my knees against my mouth
28. Will you come a little closer now and tell me I'm a / Scrawny mother fucker with a cool hairstyle?
29. Hello again / Not much has changed / I'm still the same / Just a bit older / Where have you been? / How do you like it? / I'm still the same / Just a bit bolder

With the end date marked and on the horizon, I desperately need to make a proper playlist for Somewhere Else. Only problem is I hate Spotify with a burning passion (and it doesn't even have some of the songs I'd want to include). Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere to make playlists? I miss the 8track days :(

Alright I wanted to wait to post all this bc I wanted art for each playlist but my love of music outweighs it let's GO
They're all youtube, save for the affectionate/derogatory pair, which are on spotify
-> Shaiapouf Stans Rise Up - originally an 8tracks playlist and one of my finer creations, when played in order the songs represent his character arc
-> Pouf (Affectionate) - upbeat songs that make me think of pouf
-> Pouf (Derogatory) - downbeat or sadder songs that also make me think of pouf, he gets 3 separate playlists
-> Butterfly Kisses - one of my worst kept secrets is that I'm a self shipper who enjoys a certain main; here's a playlist for that, the songs are intended to be played in order but shuffling doesn't take too much away
-> Hatsune Miku Lockdown - a collection of songs with miku's voice, over 1000 to be exact 👀 there's only a few repeats, they're remixes that are suitably different enough to be considered different songs imo, though I try to avoid that as much as I can
-> BeethovEDM - whatever the trend of mashing classical music and pop is bc it makes me laugh very hard
-> Lovebug - playlist for my sona! Songs for a cheery lovecore luna moth
-> Cute Girl Music - was having A Moment where I could see the teen girl I never got to be (gender factors aside) and it's a collection of things I could see her liking, in a stereotypical teen girl fashion
-> Star Songs - songs all about space, or themed after space, using a LOT of restraint to not keep piling on vocaloid songs
I plan to add to at least a few of these as well! The miku one is always updating, and the last three may populate more as well; idk how much more I can give to Pouf, I need to start getting creative with him lmao
Bonus:
I actually wanted to have chronological arc playlists for all the guards and then eventually meruem, but I got too picky and never got to finish them; here's a smattering of what I had in mind for them:
Unfinished WIP - Pitou
Unfinished WIP - Youpi
Unfinished WIP - Meruem

What’s 8tracks??
8tracks was a site where you could make playlists with your own mp3 files or you could link songs directly from SoundCloud. It was really nice because if a song wasn't on Spotify (say for your region or an artist has unreleased/bootleg stuff) you could include that on your playlist. It was called 8tracks because you needed at least 8 songs to be able to post a playlist. That was like the place to post fandom playlists in the 2010s.
I would argue 8tracks had as close to a good algorithm as a social media site could have because the playlist recommendations based on your likes were almost always perfect. A big part of that was being able to tag your playlist with up to 5 tags. So if you were looking for playlists for a certain character, fandom, mood, genre, etc. it was extremely easy to find.
Kinda like what happened to Tumblr audio in the late 2010s, the labels were cracking down on "pirating" and so 8tracks stopped letting you upload your own mp3s, was only available in the US, and became kinda obsolete from there which is a shame (and kinda ironic considering how quickly 8 tracks themselves became obsolete). I wish Spotify let you tag your playlists because it'd make new stuff so much easier to find.
The site's technically still up, but when I logged into my old account most of my followers were bots. I think it got hacked at one point.
This was long as hell but yeah, that's what 8tracks was.
