The Great Comet is my favorite musical ever D:::: so great to see anyone talk about it ever haha. But I wanna hear you talk about the sokkla and wicked song! also the zutara one is spot on

great comet is LITERALLY tied for my fav musical (les mis is the other it was the first show i ever saw and it was amazing and enjfoaiend so many feelings for that musical)

i am SO GLAD you asked ab sokkla and wicked because that along with the yuekka great comet no one else song is what inspired me to make that list

so without further ado: sokkla: as long as your mine

one of the big things with sokkla as a ship is that most of the fics i read and most of the art i see if that many sokkla fans and artists rlly play into the whole forbidden romance theme; moreso than any other fm swt pairing in the series (ie zutara zukka azutara u get the gist)

and this song is ALL ABOUT THE FORBIDDEN ROMANCE

you see: fiyero in wicked is a carefree guy who plays up his charm and plays dumb a lot when in actuality i think hes a very smart character. i know sokka doesnt pretend to act dumb and thats a difference between him n fiyero: but the fact that theyre both pretty smart strategic characters is why i associate them with eachother

azula as elphaba?? HANDS DOWN AMAZING. elphaba is an outsider. she isnt liked by many people. she is very thoughtful and precise with her actions and has shown she can be cunning and manipulative when she needs to be. sound familiar? consider a post-redemption arc azula for this role. just just think of it.

now onto the lyrics:

"i need help believing your with me tonight / my wildest dreamings could not foresee / lying here beside you / with you wanting me"

elphaba in this moment cant rlly believe that the fact that she is with fiyero is reality. azula has been seen in the finale of atla to struggle in terms of reality and people wanting her (ie her mother saying she loves her and azula not believing it because it isnt real) i know this is a bit of a stretch because elphaba isnt hallucinating and has never been known to do so, but azula and elphaba definitely both have issues with people genuinely loving them and wanting them.

"maybe im brainless / maybe im wise"

LJGFJHGF my favorite hc that i have for sokkla is that while they are the two smartest characters in all of atla: they become dumb when it comes to each other. thats personally a hc i have for this ship and this line just supports that wholeheartedly. Sokka becomes a lovesick idiot when it comes to azula and he knows this. so is he dumb for acting like an idiot around her? or is he smart for loving her anyways. (both. its both.) also just the symbolism and implications of sokka saying this line when we all know hes a genius but in the show hes seen as insecure in his abilities and strengths just.... wow. this line is so sokka it makes me lakshfgwky

"say there's no future for us as a pair" "just for this moment / as long as your mine"

this is less to do with the ship itself but moreso with the fandom ab the ship. lots of people dont like this ship (and thats fine! not every ship is for everyone) and they think that it wouldnt work out and while i personally disagree i think this line is good for pointing that out. because ppl think it would never work and that its doomed and maybe since sokka and azula are both geniuses they recognize that their relationship may look that way to other people too. they arent dumb. theyd know how people would look at them as a couple and theyd realize that hey maybe this wont work, but i dont care because right now im with you anyways: sokkla core

and finally, the most iconic line in this entire show, literally where the title comes from

"for the first time, im feeling, wicked"

im sorry but azula would def say something like this. ugh i have so many emotions about this show and this ship and i love this musical and i rlly love this ship. wicked sokkla au anyone? goddammit im adding it to my list of fic ideas rn. sokkla wicked au is something i desperately need right now. zuko nessarose? suki glinda? morally grey aang wizard?? somehow katara fits into this?? idk i became inspired by writing this post to actually think about a sokkla wicked au. ill get back to this one day. maybe. idk. yeah.

ALSO YES FIRST DATE/LAST NIGHT IS SO ZUTARA

like the vibes???

bad first impressions, he made her cry because he was an ass, she gave him a second chance, extremelt awkward first date??? TELL ME that isnt how a zutara relationship would start. tell me. i dare you. also this fucking song is just so cute and well written and beautiful and yeah. first date/last night is fucking zutara to a T

thank you for indulging my theatre kid atla rambles :)))

ask me about why i think these songs go with these ships :)

#liv is a theatre nerd #liv is an atla nerd #liv rambles #ask liv ab her ship songs #i love sokkla so much yall #sokka #azula #sokkla #sokka x azula #azula x sokka #atla #avatar the last airbender

F/O cuddling headcanons

Because :3

These are written in second person so you can read these as general cuddling headcanons for these characters instead of being specific to just me

Under a read more because I have 9 F/Os

Green Goblin

Only has two modes, ‘incredibly aloof’ and ‘You Are Not Leaving My Side Under Any Circumstances’. In the first mode, he’ll try and cuddle without it seeming like he’s deliberately getting close to you, one arm around your waist or shoulders while looking at something else like the tv or a book or something. In the latter mode however, you’ll be pulled against him, basically on his lap, both arms squeezing with your head tucked under his chin. He wants cuddles and he’s Going To Get Them.

Gang Orca

Big. Big boy. Will surround you with his large arms and his large chest. He’s a sweetheart deep down and will try his best to be gentle but you’ll still end up squeezed a little.

Music Meister

Loves being cuddled up to more than cuddling, another boi who loves having you against his chest (which, let’s face it, is pretty broad for a theatre nerd). Will hum and sing soft melodies in your ear or into your hair where his lips are pressed but will be careful not to accidentally hypnotise you in the process~

Eris

“Come here, my little pet…”

Even when she’s around human height she’s still a very tall lady. Can you imagine her appearing from the shadows and wrapping her arms around you, lightly gripping your chin as her lips brush down your jawline. Askhdksbd GOD.

She’s a teasing cuddler. Any and all affection you receive will be on her terms. If it seems like she’s playing with you, don’t worry, she is.

Olivia Octavius/Doc Ock

Liv’s the type to be happy to cuddle up together whenever you two are in the same space. Even if it it’s just one arm around you while she’s working on her laptop. When you two are at home she can pull you over to the couch or the bed so you two can lean against and snuggle with each other, whether it’s while watching a movie or having a dinner or still while one (or both) of you is working. She loves feeling the warmth and weight of you against her

Kurogiri

Kurogiri focuses most of his affections into hand holding and hugging, since he only has a vaguely corporeal form. He’ll hold you against his chest, hands drifting over your skin, silent love spoken through actions instead of words. He’ll give special attention to the parts of you he knows you’re self conscious about. Press kisses to the metal collar around his neck and he’ll make content lil hums and basically melt, telling you sweet nothings

Matt Miller

Very affectionate. He’ll act like a shy boyo whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth time cuddling together. You’ll likely end up with those sweet sweet blue lipstick marks. One of the few here who’s more submissive in the cuddling/cuddles up to you instead of it being the other way around. Definitely the little spoon.

Mesmerelda

You’ll know she wants to cuddle because she’ll pull you close and into a dip. You’ll then either get to enjoy a slow dance that’s all arms wrapped around each other, giggles and smiles, or brought to the nearest couch-like piece of furniture so she can cuddle against you in, of course, as dramatic a fashion as she can muster, like a confession-of-love scene in a play

Copperhead

This boy LOVES cuddles. He loves having his head rest against your chest, listening to your heartbeat. Unironically loves wrapping you up, with his arms, his tail, anything. Especially with his tail, wrapping it around your waist and squeezing. Not enough to hurt, but snugly.

This is also a perfect time to boop his snoot. Just saying

Audio

My mom wanted to know what I was listening to on my headphones. She’s very into folk and gospel music, so I kinda waffled about it at first, thinking she might not like it. She’s heard bits and pieces of my symphonic metal faves that I’ve played on my stereo (WT and Nightwish), but not really a whole bunch of stuff.

So, I first played her the instrumental break section in the middle of Theatre of Tragedy’s Last Curtain Call (which was where I had left off). She was nodding her head along to the music.

Then, when I told her that ToT sometimes sings in Old English or German, her eyes lit up. I played her “Lorelei” (my fave ToT song), and she really dug Liv Kristine’s singing.

My mom is awesome; she’s 70 and, not only did she try music that is in a genre that’s very new and different for her, but she was just straight up rocking out to gothic metal. She also nerded out with me to interpreting the lyrics.

She’s proof that you’re never too old to try something new. :D

#mel speaks #i love my mom #mother-daughter bonding #theatre of tragedy #song: lorelei #album: aegis #1998 music #gothic metal #symphonic metal #awesome music

The Butterfly Effect -Recollection (5/26)

Sanders Sides: Roman, Logan Inspiration: from @writing-prompt-s “My domain is time,” said the Genie. “Instead of three wishes, you get three decisions. Go back and choose again.” Blurb: Roman has three chances to change his life for the better. Three chances to fix past mistakes. Three chances to totally screw it all up. But who said life is worth living unless one takes a little risk? Fic Type: Hurt/Comfort Overall Fic Warnings: Major Character Death (mentioned), Suicide (mentioned), Suicide Attempt, Partial Paralysis, Injuries, Blood, Punching/Fighting, Knives, Medicinal Misuse, Toxic Roommates (implied/mentioned), Acrophobia (fear of heights), Falling, Nausea, Bullying (implied/mentioned), Car Accident (mentioned), Prison (mentioned), Negative Self Talk, Panic Attack, Bomb (mention), Surgery (mentioned)

To Catch Up: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4

A chill went through Roman. It couldn’t be. His hand rose to touch the corner of his eye, feeling the bruise that hadn’t been there in...had it been seven years now?

He swallowed, dropping his hand, rising to his feet as he tried to fit the wiry Logan standing before him with the scrawny nerd who’d given him a black eye in his third year of college. He couldn’t see it. Only maybe the glasses. Those could be the same.

His heart thudded heavily in his chest. But Logan had mentioned the singing. Roman had been singing, refusing to be silenced when he’d been punched.

It was just...What were the odds? How likely was it the timeline would fit? The shattered TV in the courtyard. The broken statue out front. His blackened eye.

And….the police. Roman had called the police on the kid because he’d been furious at the black eye. Because he’d thought it would ruin his chances at his audition the next day. To think--- “It-” He coughed, trying to clear the lump from his throat. “But you explained. The Roommates. The drugging--”

Logan’s mouth twisted, a bitter laugh escaping him as he picked up the knife from the vanity. He snapped the blade shut, the weapon disappearing from sight with a twitch of his fingers. “They didn’t believe me. Who goes crazy and takes out a dozen men after taking Nyquil?” He shook his head. “I was sentenced to prison. Got out in two years…” he exhaled. “And have been in and out since. You can’t…” He leaned against the desk, head bowed. “You can’t just pick up your life like nothing happened. Schools won’t take you. Jobs don’t want you. Not without a degree. Not with a criminal history. People don’t treat you the same.” He brushed the LOGIC tattoo with the tip of his finger. “When you’re treated like a threat instead of a person…” He looked up, eyes dull. “You become what they fear.” He whispered. “Because they won’t let you be anything else.”

Roman wasn’t one to be at a loss for words. But right now? “Logan.” He shook his head, running a hand through his hair. How could he admit he was-- How could you say anything after hearing that? After realizing. He swallowed hard, forcing himself to speak over the lump in his throat. “I’m sorry, Lo--”

Logan raised an eyebrow, eyes glittering as he focused on Roman. “For what?” He asked, pushing away from the vanity. “Being the only one to give me a chance….more than once...uhmm.” He licked his lips, lowering his head as he fiddled with the bandages on his hand. “You….you were serious about London...and….and me...coming?”

Roman raised his head, shoving down the leadened feeling in his chest in favor of reassuring his coffee boy. He called a smile onto his face as he spread his arms out wide. “Of course! I’m going to show you Baker Street and everything Sherlock while we’re there. I have it all planned out, down to buying you a deerstalker to match your bee tattoo.” And if he could, he’d do everything in his power to make it up to Logan for...for calling the police, for not realizing. He’d have to tell Logan...but when--how?? He...he would need to figure it out.

Logan glanced at his wrist, his mouth twisting into a near smile. “That’s so idiotic.”

Roman blinked, crossing his arms. “Oh, come on, Logan.” He tilted his head, wiggling his eyebrows. You know you want the hat.”

Logan shook the hair out of his eyes. “I do. Doesn’t mean it’s not stu--” He cut off as a triple rap sounded on the door. He stiffened, eyes going wide. “P-p-police?” He stuttered, the color draining from his face as he stumbled back, rattling the vanity as he slammed into it.

Roman was at his side before the mirror stopped shaking, a careful hand resting on his bandaged wrist. “Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.” He soothed as the triple rap sounded again. How Logan had even managed to come into the theatre today if he was this paranoid about getting arrested again? “It’s fine, Lo. It’s just Reese. That’s her knock.”

Logan shuddered, gasping for breath as his hand spasmed under Roman’s. “She’s bro--brought--”

Roman shook his head. “No, there’s no police.” He said, keeping his tone calm. “You’re safe here. Alright? You’re safe. I’m here to ensure that. I’m not letting anyone take you away, okay? I’ll protect you from your curse.”

Logan closed his eyes. “Wh-what does she want?” He whispered.

Roman snorted. He would have thought that obvious. “Well...you were throwing and breaking things….”

He flinched. “Right…”

Roman shifted, to keep an eye on the door, squeezing Logan’s hand as he let out a two note whistle to signal to Reese she could enter. “Relax, there’s no lasting damage that can’t be replace.” He said as the handle twisted.

The door opened, allowing his Technical Director to slip inside, holding a white palm sized box tied with a red ribbon in one hand. Her eyes flickered around the torn up room before landing on the two of them. She shut the door behind her with a click, raising an eyebrow as focused on the mirror and their injuries reflected there.

Roman twitched, feeling ever cut and scrape hidden behind the tears and bloodstains now marring his costume under her eagle eyed gaze. He opened his mouth, but Reese cut him off.

“I don’t want to know.” She said, shaking her head as she stepped further in the room, pointing a finger to Roman. “But you, Sanders, need to get out your makeup and that costume before you turn it completely red. And you.” She jabbed her finger to Logan who glared at her, squaring his shoulders as he shoved away from the desk, stopped only by Roman’s hand on his arm.

Reese met him glare for glare, her eyes dark as she gave her own feral smile.

Roman shivered. He hated that smile.

“You are coming with me to apologize to Liv for terrorizing her. Then I’ll have Morgan take a look at your back. Capeesh?”

Logan bared his teeth, a rumble sounding in his throat. “No.”

Reese rolled her eyes. “So scary, Banner. I’m quaking in my sneakers.” Her voice rang in the air, brooking no argument. “Get over here.”

On any other night, Roman might have agreed with her. But tonight? Knowing what he did now...Roman straightened from the vanity, stepping in front of Logan as his coffee boy tensed further. “Reese...now probably isn’t the best--”

“No time is ever ‘the best’ with your coffee boy, Sanders.” She retorted. “It’s not like I’m taking him away permanently.” She leaned around him, staring Logan down. “Hear that? Fifteen minutes. Two minute apology, thirteen minute exam, then you can skip right back in here to continue your impression of a crazed gorilla, alright?”

Logan broke eye contact first, glancing to Roman, his face impassive, though his eyes gave lie to his fear.

As much as Roman wanted to tell his coffee boy he didn’t have to go...having Reese on their bad side wouldn’t be the best before they flew to London. She’d been quite tolerant of Logan’s...idiosyncrasies on Roman’s word alone. It would be best to leave on a good note. Especially after tonight’s...tantrum. Roman gave him a confident grin. “I won’t go anywhere until you get back. So...” He tilted his head to the door. “Go.”

Logan reached up, adjusting his glasses. “Ten minutes.” He met Reese’s eyes, his knife flickering between his fingers before vanishing again. “The dressing room next door. No further.”

Reese tilted her head back and forth in thought. “Twelve minutes and you give me the knife.” She said holding out her hand.

Again, the rumble emanated from Logan’s throat. “Fine.” He ground out, dropping the weapon in her open palm.

Reese gave a curt nod, slipping the weapon into her pocket. “Good.” She turned to Roman. “Twelve minutes. I expect no makeup and the costume on the rack before I bring your coffee boy back.” She said, handing him the white box as Logan warily moved around Reese, pausing by the door, careful to keep himself facing her.

Twelve minutes? That was hardly enough time to remove his makeup! Roman scoffed, taking the box, weighing it, thoughtfully. “What’s this?” He asked in lieu of complaining.

“A parting gift from your friend.” She said, her tone softening a little as she turned for the door, pulling it open. She gestured for Logan to go first. “He regrets he couldn’t stay and chat longer, but the two have an early morning flight.”

“Oh.” The smile slipped from his face, a hollow pang reverberating in his chest. Patton. He’d completely forgotten. He’d meant to come back. Meant to get his number. And now… “Right…” Roman said softly, staring down at the box. “I hope you thanked him on my behalf?” He’d have to find a way to contact Pat and thank him personally. Did he still have the same phone number...no, he’d probably changed it after all these years.

“I did. Gave him your number even.” She smirked as he jerked his head up. “You’re welcome.” She said, slipping out into the hallway. “Remember, twelve minutes, Sanders.” She shut the door with a quiet click.

Roman exhaled, setting the box down on top of his Anxiety script. “Right.” He pushed the scattered papers of his ‘Manhattan research’ to the side, unburying the products he needed to remove the Phantom’s scarring from his face.

He worked quickly, pulling the scar putty off, cleaning off the stage makeup, wincing as his exposed the miniscule cuts on his face from wrestling with Logan.

Logan. Patton.

Roman closed his eyes, slumping in his chair. “What am I going to do?” He mumbled.

It was like A Christmas Carol. Two ghosts of his past popping in out of nowhere. He shook his head, opening his eyes to stare at the picture of a bridge and an obituary on top of his pile of research. “Too bad you couldn’t be the third huh?” He remarked. He would have liked to meet this Virgil N. Shush, if only to get into the guy’s headspace so he could better portray his Anxiety character. He probably would have fit the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come quite well from what little he’d discovered about the guy who’s script was going to make Roman a big film star. However... Some things just weren’t meant to be.

Roman pushed away from the vanity, grabbing Patton’s gift as he stood. He pulled the ribbon off the box, draping it over the back of the chair, hesitating as he gripped the lid. It’d been years since he’d received a gift from his best friend. Roman licked his lips, feeling the comforting weight of the crown necklace against his throat as he opened the box.

Hey Princey; Patton’s careful penmanship stood out on the notecard sitting on top. I hope you have the Time of your life in England! <3 Patton.

Roman chuckled, shaking his head as he pulled out a large golden pocket watch out of the box, dangling it by the chain. Well that wasn’t what he expected at all. “Pat...who even uses these anymore?” He asked with a fond smile as he sat on the torn lounge couch, tracing the rose design on the outside. “Too bad I didn’t get the time to catch up with you though.” He whispered, thumb resting on the button. If only. If only. With a shrug, Roman popped it open with a click.

A loud gong rang in his ears, sending a firestorm of heat racing through Roman’s body with enough force that he shot to his feet, a startled yell tearing from his throat as he frantically patted at his arms while rainbow light billowed from the watch in his hand, refracting around the room like a Las Vegas laser show. He tried to drop the watch, only to find his muscles unresponsive.

“GO AWAY!” He yelled trying to duck away from the beams of colored light pelting him from every direction with enough force to stagger him. “What the--” He ducked his head, frantically slapping at his arms with his free hand as his skin began to glow in its own prism rainbow. What was this?!

He winced as an angelic chorus of chimes rang in his ears, yelping again as a sharp tug came from the center of his chest. His heart beat in a frantic staccato, fighting against the unseen force pulled him from the ground, sending him flying straight into the billowing rainbow spectrum of a storm that had overtaken his dressing room like a tsunami making landfall.

“Roman Sanders.” A booming voice intoned as Roman fought against the current holding him captive, his dressing room vanishing as he was dragged deeper into the rainbow hailstorm. “Your Time Has Come.”

Hey Liv, I hope you feel better soon! Maybe 3, 12, and 23 for the fanfic asks?

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much!!

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

the entire conversation between Dick and Wally in ‘What Are Friend’s For?’ is my favourite. so much love went into that first birdflash fic, and i’m still so proud of it. it just feels like the most “them” i’ve ever written, even with all the fics i’ve written so far. nothing really feels like it lives up to the heart that went into that scene.

12. favorite character to write about this year

Jason, in ‘If Only’. I loved giving him more to life than what he has (canonically)

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

oh god….

- about four or five additions to Little Talks that I never got around to- the last few chapters of ‘You and I’- a theatre nerd/jock yj au

there’s more but they’re honestly just messy concepts banging around in my head

#asks #ask meme #thank you!!#<3

I got tagged by @lupinscorner to answer some stuff about myself :)

Rules: Answer the 21 questions and then tag 21 people you want to get to know better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nickname: people tend to call me olive, Liv, or Livy, if they use a nickname (my names olivia, if you can’t tell)

Height: I’m probably around 5”6, not totally sure

Last movie I saw: A Dog’s Way Home, I literally sobbed through the entire thing (I don’t cry much)

Last thing I googled: probably a definition for AP human geo, but for personal reasons I looked up the NYU website

Favorite Musician: idk, I’m rlly just listening to musicals rn (I’m a theatre nerd, if you can’t tell)

Song stuck in my head: earlier (while I was taking a unit test that was important for my grade) Right Hand Man was all that was going through my brain

Other blogs: no, I was gonna start a blog for writing but never got around to it

Do I get asks: nope, tumblr isn’t my main social network so I don’t interact on here a lot

Following: 238, I follow blogs that have fics I like and then forget (lol my memory isn’t too great)

Amount of sleep: not nearly enough, I probably get 5-6 hours on a daily(nightly) basis. I have a lot of homework so I don’t usually go to sleep till late at night

Lucky numbers: probably 3, 40, 22. 3 was my volleyball number (bc it was my best friends softball number) and 40 and 22 were my brothers football numbers

What am I wearing: a Christmas sweatshirt, and pajama pants

Dream job: I’d love to be a journalist (specifically a sports journalist/analyst), or like a stage manager for broadway or something (I did stage managing in middle school and LOVED it)

Dream trip: France, Italy, or Greece

Random fact: I’ve been doing musical theatre since 6th grade, but I took a break this year to focus on school, and in 8th grade I was basically the stage manager and it was probably what I loved the most. Don’t get my wrong, I love preforming, but I just love leading and being recognized. Literally the main actress came up to me and said I basically saved the show and I almost started crying.

Play an instrument: no, unless you count my voice as an instrument. but i used to play guitar and I’d like to pick up piano.

Favorite songs: yikes, idk I love all kinds of music.

Describe yourself as an aesthetic: rainy days, the smell of fresh coffee. Books and scripts annotated, but it’s color coated, the billions of different pens, pencils, markers, etc spilled across the books and scripts. The big cushy chair you’ve “accidentally” claimed at yours. 3x too big sweatpants and sweaters (the floppy sleeves). Frizzy curls that are always popping out of place. s

#i got tagged again #about me #aesthetic #music #musical theatre #i probably went over board lol #etc

fics that need to be written:

sonny teasing rafael about his height and rafael rolls his eyes and acts annoyed every time, but actually loves it, and how much taller sonny is

sonny and rafael making out, when rafael lifts sonny off his feet and presses him against the wall, sonny wrapping his legs around raf’s waist

raul can sing and play piano, peter can sing and play guitar. one day sonny and rafael are just chilling at home, practicing their instruments and then they break out into a full duet

rafael accidentally calls sonny babe and gets super embarrassed about it, but sonny loves it, so he continues to say it

also, he accidentally says it in front of the squad and the squad never lets him live it down

liv sends sonny into a hostage situation. rafael is sitting outside waiting, calmly, sonny knows how to do his job. ESU is making the suspect more angry. then there’s a gun aimed at sonny’s head and rafael is not calm anymore. “liv.” he warns. everyone else is calm, liv is confused. suddenly she realises, “you’re in love with him.” rafael doesn’t respond. liv knows the answer.

raf is a musical theatre nerd, and hums the same random song around sonny all day. when sonny gets upset with the case, rafael holds him and sings “have i mentioned today.. how lucky i am... to be in love with you” (its from the last 5 years)

raf is prosecuting a case sonny didn’t work on and doesn’t watch the trial. raf comes home upset, unsure of what to do with the case. sonny stays up with him all night and finds an answer. raf wins the case the next day

raf takes sonny to see falsettos

raf and sonny are broken up, but after 18x07 sonny needs comfort and raf sings him to sleep

domestic day off with nothing but love and fluff

sonny gets minorly injured on the job and raf goes full on mother hen and “don’t you dare do that to me again”

sonny and raf are both sassy as all hell, imagine their bickering

an entire fic of rafael loving sonny’s hair, and touching and playing with it at any free moment

rushed mornings before heading out the door, sweet, quick, goodbye kisses as one rushes to work

to be continued

so i was tagged by @kiungsoo (ily liv) to do a music tag lmao i love doing things i love friends

rules: list the top ten songs you’re listening to nowadays and tag ten mutuals

get ready for a music nerd to gush about music

———————————————

1: even if it’s a lie | matt maltese

i’m in fucking love with this song oh my god it’s so beautiful and i’m always a slut for slow songs and the lyrics resonate so deeply with me and it has the most beautiful woody timbre and such a smooth texture ugh i love it so much

2: intro: serendipity | bts

i don’t tend to listen to a lot of bts’ stuff because it’s not really my cuppa tea (lmao i’m drinking tea while writing this and that made me giggle), but this song is so beautifully written and it’s so smooth and jimin’s vocals never cease to give me goosebumps it’s such a wonderful melody

3: requiem | dear evan hansen original soundtrack

alright so i’m a theatre nerd. i love ben platt’s voice and the entire show as a whole but this song is so fucking amazing alright. the lyrics are so beautifully crafted and while i love waving through a window and for forever, this song really stole the show for me. i’m just such a slut for slow songs.

4: 6/10 | dodie

i’ve loved this song since dodie first released it on youtube and when i found out she was releasing it on her new ep i almost cried a little. the lyrics talk about things i can relate to, and that doubled with the iridescent timbre of the song makes me feel all kinds of things. goodness i love dodie and her music.

5: all for you | wallis bird

as it was with even if it’s a lie, i’m always a slut for slow and sad songs that i can relate to. there’s not much else to say about it without repeating myself but it’s such a beautiful song.

6: 100 letters | halsey

a bit of a scene change from the others but not in the sense that i resonate deeply with a lot of the lyrics and this song is crafted so masterfully. i sound like such a nerd oh my god.

7: relax | zhang yixing (lay)

didn’t think we were getting through this list without yixing did you? no way, i love my chinese dad. i will never not love a song that yixing relases (although don’t let me speak too soon because what the fuck even is sheep). if you haven’t read the english lyrics, i suggest you do, because they’re so damn relatable and beautiful and yixing are you okay i want to give him a big big hug and tell him everything will be okay.

8: 6 | kris wu yifan

not actually released but i listen to this so much oh my god. it’s such a genre swap from everything else but i love yifan and everything he releases with my entire being. if you haven’t read the english lyrics then i suggest you do cause i have a very sneaky suspicion that some of it is abt a certain group starting with e and ending in xo.

9: catch me when i fall, skin to skin, & what if i said | lu han

there’s too many songs and not enough numbers for me to express how i feel about music, guys. i’ve had to compile three lulu songs in one number. they’re all relatively slow, as is most of the music i listen to cause i’m a slut for slow songs. but han never fails to impress me (although lu is a questionable jam). they’re all so smooth and beautiful and have the prettiest lyrics and i could fall asleep to han’s voice (in a good way).

10: sweet lies | exo

you’re a fool to think they wouldn’t be in this list. i saved this for the last. i love this fucking song with my entire heart and soul. if you think i haven’t played this song on repeat for hours multiple times then you’re wrong. i could never hate it. and the lyrics? a masterpiece. really gotta give it to chanyeol for that. i’m a proud mum. i’m not kidding when i say i cried listening to this on more than one occasion. with baekhyun’s beautiful fuckin voice with those beautiful fuckin trills at the start of this beautiful fuckin song singing those beautiful fuckin lyrics how could you not love it? i fear that if i don’t cut myself off now, this post will become longer than my last musicology assignment. so i’ll stop here.

———————————————

i had to cut out so many bangers that i’m in love with simply because there isn’t enough space and i love too many songs but some honourable mentions are

if you | bigbang

never ever | got7

stay with me | chanyeol

curtain | joonmyun (suho) ((i wanted to write an entire essay about this song but refrained))

1 of 1 | shinee

paper thin hotel | matt maltese

young and free | minseok (xiumin) and mark

forever | exo

kaching | exo-cbx (i love cbx with my entire being holy shit)

too much love for music and too little space to express it

About your atla ship songs, I have a couple of questions (sorry if my phrasing comes out wrong, english isn't my first language and I worry it might across as accidentally defensive): how did you end up with the choices for zukka, jetko and yuekka (note: I haven't seen the great comet, so feel free to obsess over it, I'm intrigued now and the hype is appreciated!)? Sidenote: I think the mailee choice is HILARIOUS and the tokka one just make me sad, I didn't expect to be attacked like this😭

kdjfha;s i love you im gonna obsess SO HARD over great comet now. you may regret this

this is gonna be so long so the rest is under the cut whoops

yuekka: no one else from great comet

where do i even begin. WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN

okay so background information on this show: it's based off of a 76 oages excerpt from war and peace and its centered around a woman named natasha (and this guy pierre but he's irrelevant to this song so we wont worry about him) and natasha's bethrothed is off fighting in the war right now. she hasn't seen him in a while but she is in love with him.

every single lyrics of this song SCREAMS yuekka to me. the innocence and purity of their love. the love at first sight. and even the melancholy ending just- i go apeshit for this song. i love this song so much. and denee benton's voice??? kljsdhflwksugf please listen to this song if you haven't already. listen to the whole show. your life will be changed forever.

onto the lyrics (i stg this is ab to be the whole song whoops)

"the moon"

THOSE ARE THE FIRST WORDS ON THE SONG. natasha and andre (her bethrothed) met underneath the moonlight. Sokka and Yue first spoke to eachother at night and always met each other for their most intimate moments under the moonlight. also yue is LITERALLY the moon so like: right of the bat with those two words it's yuekka.

"and i saw your eyes / and i saw your smile / and the world opened wide"

sokka fell in love with yue the moment he saw her in the canal. she literally enchanted this motherfucker. everything about her made his heart go crazy. and 'the world opened wide' to me is from yue's perspective. Yue had never left the north pole and sokka had seen a good chuck of the world at the point. He took her on appa, he told her about his adventures. he saw the world yue wished to see and you know damn well that Sokka would have done anything to give it to her.

"oh the moon /oh the snow in the moonlight / and your childlike eyes and your distant smile / ill never be this happy again / you and i and no one else"

natasha sings fondly about the moon and the snow, seeing as it was where she fell in love with andre. yue and sokka LITERALLY fell in love in the same place: in the snowy nothern water tribe under the light of the moon. childlike eyes: THEYRE CHILDREN!!! distant smile: this is where it gets a little sad. theyre both children with way too many duties during a world that has known nothing but war for the past century. they want to be happy but yeah, theyre smiles are distant and far away because happiness seems out of reach for them most of the time. i'll never be this happy again: the moments yue and sokka shared together were probably the happiest either of them ever were. they were able to ignore the war and the world in the moments they shared together. and with no one else. no one else would be able to give each other this sense of peace and happiness and love.

"joy and life inside our souls / and no body knows just you and me / it's our secret"

Yue and Sokka had to sneak out in secret at night to go and see each other. Yue and Sokka couldn't be together for real because Yue was already engaged, but they were literally in love so she decided to see him anyways in secret. kasdjfhklasjd im losing my mind over them at this point.

"this winer sky / how can anyone sleep / there was never such a night before / i feel like putting my arms around my knees / and squeezing tight as possible / and flying away"

these are my FAVORITE lines in the entire song. yue and sokka had never felt this strongly about anyone before and that's why they are so drawn to each other. they had never experienced love before and they wanted to hold onto it for as long as they could even though they knew they couldnt. Sokka takes yue up on appa and she is wistful and wishes she could live like he does every day: ie flying away. oh my god these two deserved so much better. so much fucking better.

now for the saddes part. the saddest fucking part.

"maybe he'll come today / maybe he came already / and he's sitting in the drawing room / and i simply forgot"

natasha misses andre so intensely at this point. when i first listened to this show and heard this song i was like "wait a min... is andre like... dead?" and im sure i wasnt the only person who assumed that this was why natasha felt so sad by the end of such a beautiful song. (spoiler alert andre is fine)

but this line really exemplifies how sad natasha is, and hints at the fact that andre may never come back. it implies that their relationship is doomed (at least in my opinion) and that's all yuekka. Sokka misses yue intensely when shes gone. Yue accepted her fate almost immediately but sokka was in denial. he thought there had to be another way. but in the end it wasn't meant to be. and sokka will go on, loving yue, wishing for her back, even though it's not possible.

fuck im gonna cry.

zukka: all i've ever known- hadestown

"i was alone so long / i didn't even know that i was lonely / out in the cold so long / i didnt even know that i was cold"

sokka is from the swt so theres where the cold comes in. also in the gaang (initially) it was just him katara and aang. and katara and aang were much closer to each other than sokka was with aang and the two of them were benders so sokka was kind of an outsider with the two of them. He also represses a lot of his emotions and feels the need to do everything himself so i do see a lot of loneliness in sokka. and the fact that so many people in his life have left him (his mom, yue, his dad, suki briefly, etc...) he is known to keep people at an arms length. i see a lot of loneliness in sokka.

zuko's loneliness is a lot more obvious: he has literally been cast out and abandoned by everyone except iroh. and even then he still feels the need to be alone (remember zuko alone? thought so) these boys look after themselves and push others away and revel in their loneliness in order to keep themselves from getting hurt. at least in my opinion on canon and also some fanon because id be a liar if i said fanon didnt influence how i view ALL my ships (not just zukka)

"all ive ever known is how to hold my own / but now I wanna hold you too"

COME ONE MANNNN, they just wanna hold each other. theyre both very big protectors as well and kljhflkasdhg they wanna protect eachother like kljdhfl im gonna lose it rn.

"You take me in your arms / And suddenly there's sunlight all around me / Everything bright and warm / And shining like it never did before / And for a moment I forget / Just how dark and cold it gets"

SUNLIGHT SYMBOLISM. zuko is literally powered by the sun. i don't think i even NEED to elaborate on this one anymore lol. They find comfort in each other away from all of their trauma. when they're together nothing else matters and i personally love that for them. they both deserve love.

"I knew you before we met / And I don't even know you yet / All I know is your someone I have always known"

these two are extremely similar in canon. many parallels. older brothers overshadowed by their prodigy little sisters. longing to make their fathers proud (granted one dad is good and one is fuckin evil), both are pretty bad with emotions. both are seen protecting others before themselves (sokka protecting suki during the serpant's pass, sokka protecting toph on like multiple occassions, zuko protecting katara in the final agni kai), the list goes on. they know who the other is because they see themselves in the other person. they already know each other because they are each other (in a way, not entirely, but the similarities are strong in my opinion)

"I'm gonna hold you forever / The wind will never change on us / Long as we stay with each other / Then it will always be like this"

i just think this line is so cute and sweet (ignoring all the symbolism and foreshadowing that comes with the last line in the musical itself. im gonna pretend this is nothing but happy) and i think these boys deserve happiness so yeah. this song is zukka to me lol.

jetko: thrill of first love- falsettoes

if you've never listened to this song go an do it now. you will know INSTANTLY that it is jetko because of the dynamics alone. marvin and whizzer are pure jetko and i take no crticisms.

marvin and whizzer are both extremely stubborn, and they don't always get along, and they fight a lot, and they get mad at each other a lot, and they are both passionate as hell, and they will bring this passion into everything. they love each other that is without a doubt, but they arent perfect and they are once again stubborn and determined as fuck.

sound familiar? it's literally jetko.

the lyrics aren't what remind me of jetko, but the dynamic itself. the lyrics are too on the nose for a gay couple in 1970's america so that rlly cant apply to jetko all that much. but the way these two characters bounce off of each other and get annoyed with each other and argue with eachother reminds me of jetko. because let's be honest: these two are the most stubborn characters in the whole show. they will fight for what they believe and it will take literally everything to change their minds.

i love jetko but i think they would have petty arguments all the time and get aggravated by one another so easily. and this is even seen in canon: they work so fucking well together but they did not even HESITATE to fight one another after neither of them would give in and let the fight about whether jet was right or wrong about zuko being a firebender. like i cannot say it enough they are stubborn as fuck.

but underneath all that stubborn pettiness and bickering: marvin and whizzer still love each other. and jet and zuko would still love each other. because even though they are stubborn when it comes to arguments, they are even more stubborn and determined when it comes to each other. these two passionate motherfuckers are in love.

(now when i chose this song i decided to ignore the fact that this song literally spells out the fact that marvin and whizzer's relatinoship is doomed because they literally say passion dies. thats the difference between jetko and whizzer and marvin because i dont think passion dies. i chose this song strictly for the bickering lmao)

and i know you didnt ask about tokka but,,,,

i rlly wanna talk about the tokka one

so im going to

tokka: on my own- les mis

look. i KNOW this song is about unrequited love and i love tokka as a couple but,,, the unrequited love in this song just SCREAMS unrequited tokka to me so thats what i went with.

eponine is a girl who has neglectful parents who lives life by her own rules: toph. eponine is shown to be tough and confident and spunky to others but behind all of that she has emotions, she feels love, she hides her vulnerability so much: toph. she is in love with a guy she cant be with because he loves someone else: TOPH

eponine is toph to a t and toph is eponine to a t. this is not up for debate lmao

"without him i feel his arms around me"

toph is always seen grabbing onto someone (and its almost ALWAYS sokka) when she's somewhere where she can't use her feet to see. FEEL and ARMS cmon. look at it.

"and i know / i know that he is blind"

COME ON. IMAGINE TOPH SINGING THIS LINE. this line is already powerful enough in les mis but having toph, a blind character, sing it just makes the symbolism even deeper. toph sees the potential relationship they could have together. toph sees that sokka is oblivious to this. toph is not blind to the truth or the potention, but sokka is blind to her feelings. im about to lose my mind over this line.

"I love him / But every day I'm learning / All my life / I've only been pretending / Without me / His world will go on turning / A world that's full of happiness / That I have never known"

i need to sit down for a moment. toph grew up in a household where her parents did not understand her. she has learned to hide her true emotions and vulnerabilities from everyone. and its the fact that toph knows that she and sokka will never be together and the fact that she still loves him in spite of that is what makes this even more heartbreaking.

"but only on my own"

TOPH AND EPONINE SWEETIES I LOVE YOU

thank you for indulging my theatre kid nonsense. you are very sweet and kind and lovely and awesome and i hope you have a lovely day bestie :) <3

ask me why i think these songs go with these ships

maiko- “you matter to me” waitress

TALK ABOUT THIS ONE ???? i'm just here for maiko tbh

mailee- “lay all your love on me” -mamma mia (I KNOW THIS MAY SEEM OUT OF PLACE BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT MY BRAIN TELLS ME OKAY)

oh? do go on i ADORE mamma mia

okay is the title itself isnt maiko enough think of it like this:

zuko is a kid whos literally hada two people care for him his entire life: his mother and iroh (the maiko for this context is maiko when he returns to the fire nation before joining the gaang). and his mother left and he betrayed iroh. zuko already has issues with believing people actually care about him and love him

on the flipside mai has been in a safe and secure household her entire life. she has a present mother and father. the thing is: she feels stiffled by them. Now i know pretty much nothing about her relationship with her parents because i know it goes a lil more into that in the comics so from my own perspective: mai is taken care of, be she is not cared for. remember ember island? remember how she said her life was perfect except for the fact that she straight up wasnt allowed to be herself??

from my pov its fairly easy for me to say that these kids dont feel like they are cared for

but the thing with maiko is: they still care for each other

"i dont hate you" "I dont hate you either"

for this song mai is pottamer because of this line: "come out of hiding im right here beside you / and ill stay there as long as you need me"

Mai is always seen as being there for Zuko. Her first appearance with him in book three on the boat she is trying to reach out and talk to him and make him feel better. she just wants to talk with him and make him feel better. She is loyal af to this boy.

and zuko is jenna in this song because of these lines: "It's addictive the minute you let yourself think / The things that I say just might matter to someone"

once again were gonna look at ember island for this jawn:

mai azula and ty lee are all pressuring him to open up about his feelings, granted in different ways: azula because it seems amusing to her. ty lee because shes confused as to why zuko is upset. mai because she cares about him. HE MATTERS TO HER.

mai, a character who really doesnt seem like she cares about anything. cares about zuko.

zuko matters to her.

and zuko, a character who cares a little too much about everything, still has space in his mind and heart to care about mai.

mai matters to him.

fuck i love this song and this ship. fuck.

mailee lay all your love on me

okay okay okay. this one isnt as deep as maiko because it rlly do be the fact that sophia and ty lee give off such similar vibes to me but lets dive into the lyrics anyways shalle we?

"i feel a kind of fear / when i dont have you near"

these two are always with each other. always. they always have each others backs and in tbr mai does seem a little scared before ty lee betrays azula and saves mai.

"i still don't know what you've done with me / a grown up woman should never fall so easily"

think ab this one from mai's perspective: once again its established that she keeps things she loves a secret. she tries very hard to remain apathetic and detatched from everything. but ty lee isnt someone she can hide from. mai isnt used to falling hard and fast and yet it happens with ty lee

once again: the major reason for this song being a mailee song to me is strictly because ty lee has sophie vibes (also i think she would think the dancing boys in funny flippers would be so amusing; mai also would like it because hey at least it isnt boring)

ask me about why i think these songs go with these ships!

#liv is a theatre nerd #liv is an atla nerd #mailee #maiko #mai #zuko #ty lee #atla rant #avatar: the last airbender #ask liv ab her ship songs
