Excluding in nightmares that I don't remember, uhhh probably back when my PHP therapist surprised me by whipping out a poem I'd written and sharing it in front of the whole group. It wasn't the "bad" kind of scared, but I sure did feel fear. What’s your favorite song by Rihanna? "Disturbia" has always been #1. There's this '80s synthwave remix of the song that I adorrrreeee. Can you speak binary? Nope. Would you rather live somewhere that had hurricanes or tornadoes? I've dealt with hurricanes all my life and they don't terrify me NEARLY as much as the mere idea of a tornado, so. Have you ever had a pet that you disliked? None that were mine personally, but coincidentally, I didn't like two dogs my little sister had. The first one was just mildly annoying, and as much as I hate admitting it, I literally hated her last dog. When was the last time you saw hail? Maybe like... a month ago or something like that? Time is kinda blurry for me on this. We had an absolute downpour of hail one morning, then just... nothing. What is on your mind right this second: I have this at-home sleep study tonight and I'm pretty much obsessing over "what if I don't have a nightmare?" when, for ONCE, I want/need myself to. To be real, I don't know exactly what will change in my life if I do have a sleep apnea diagnosis or something that we're not already doing, but. Mom more than anyone just wants professionals to see that something is seriously wrong and needs fixing. Have you ever given a nickname to your pet(s)? Both have them, yeah. I think I call Venus "Miss Venus" more than her real name, then she's also "baby girl," "pretty," "beautiful girl," etc. I call Roman just "butt" a lot, haha, then there's "son," "Mama's boy," "bud"... When was the last time you shaved your legs? Not since last October. Nobody sees my legs, so I just don't care. Do you ever try free samples at the store? Sure, if I'm actually interested in the food. Do you like boys with long hair? That's actually my preference. Do you like rootbeer? It's not insufferable, but I'm not really a fan. What is the best fast food place, in your opinion? Sonic. Do you have faith in yourself? What a question to end it on, 'cuz I don't have a fuckin' clue these days.

Alice In Wonderland

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll was an English author, illustrator, poet mathematician, photographer, teacher and inventor . His most well known works are Alice in Wonderland and it’s sequel Through the Looking-Glass.

https://www.bl.uk/works/alices-adventures-in-wonderland

The novel was originally entitled Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and was first created on 4 July 1862. The tale was first told to the three young daughters of Henry Liddell Alice, Lorina and Edith. The children, especially Alice, (who was a big influence throughout the creation time) loved the story and asked Lewis to write it down. After he did that, he also added little illustrations which gave a charming impression of his own vision of Wonderland and its inhabitants.

Gradually, the tale got revisited, expanded and published with illustrations by John Tenniel and would later on become one of the most famous tales of history.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland , commonly known as Alice in Wonderland follows the story of a young girl named Alice that falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures, kings and queens and mad tea parties . It guests popular characters such as The Mad Hatter, The White Rabbits, The Queen and King of hearts, The Cheshire Cat etc.

The book blew up immediately ( it never ran out of print and has been translated in 174 languages ) and has become a big influence in pop culture . Its legacy covers adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games, and video games. Carroll also published a sequel in. 1871 entitled Through the Looking-Glass and even a shortened version for young children, The Nursery, Alice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland

Not surprisingly, this tale is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre which is a broad categorization of literature that balances elements that make sense with some that do not, with the effect of subverting language conventions or logical reasoning. Some other books of the same ‘genre’ are The World of Winnie- The-Pooh, And Another Thing, The Hunting of the Snark, Dylan Dog, etc.

https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/literary-nonsense

Alice’s Influence in Pop Culture

Throughout the years, many people have took the popular tale and have changed it and adapted it to create new meanings, endings and even new worlds. Everyone’s interpretation for the book has had it’s own impact on the experience.

Many brands and artists such as Radiohead, The Beetles, Marilyn Manson, and Stevie Nicks have also taken inspiration from AiW for their songs. One good example of that is the song I Am The Walrus by The Beetles where you don’t exactly know what they are talking about and what the meaning behind the lyrics are. Could be hidden meaning , could be nothing at all.

Some have created movie adaptations, or movies based on the same idea and vibe (The Matrix, Abby in Wonderland, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Into The Woods) where you find yourself into a whole different world where things don’t always make sense, where things are different and a bit off.

others even took it a bit further, giving the whole tale a whole new interpretation, focusing on the “mental disorder” part of the story where everything is just in the protagonists head, nothing is real and how that affects others around them . Some made movies (Sucker Punch,Shutter Island, Donnie Darko, Relic, Enemy etc) some made games such as Alice Madness Returns, Fran Bow, Little Nightmares, Little Misfortune, Lies Of P, Alice is dead etc.

Rowdy Roddy Piper x Fem Reader- "Flash Forward"

This has to arguably be my corniest, cringeworthy fanfiction I've written so far.

But...this is a fantasy I've had, and I hope I'm not disrespecting Rowdy Roddy Piper with this fanfic by typing and posting it on his birthday...

____________________________________________________________

A lot of professional wrestlers during the 1980's weren't really pretty boys and sex symbols in the looks department.

However, there is one pro wrestler from the 80's that's an exception, and he is one of the most iconic wrestlers of the 1980's (and of all time in general): Rowdy Roddy Piper.

He got even cuter and dare I say it, sexier during the end of the 80's and early 90's when his hair grew longer, especially when he didn't have those bangs over his forehead.

In the 80's and early 90's, the World Wrestling Federation as it was known then didn't have hardly any profanity, almost no sexual content besides the Ravishing Rick Rude, barely any bleeding, didn't have wrestlers breaking tables set on fire or falling off of the tops of cages and landing in thumb tacks, and didn't have wrestlers playing porn stars, pimps, sex addicts, or even rappers that say politically incorrect insults.

The WWF was like a live action Saturday morning cartoon aimed at kids during the 1980's, but...it was still over AF back then.

What it means to be "over" in the wrestling world is something wrestling audiences really enjoy; and the WWF was really popular during the 1980's despite not having Attitude and Ruthless Aggression era-esque content.

Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper and the Ultimate Warrior were massive draws in the 1980's and early 90's without swearing, throwing middle fingers, drinking beer, or anything else "adult like", Hulk even tried sending positive messages to kids with drinking milk and saying prayers, and these were wrestlers that were household names, popular enough to cross over into pop culture, appeared on talk shows, and people got out of their seats and cheered loudly for them.

The WWF in the 80's was proof that you could still be over and popular without having R-rated content.

However, during one moment in the late 1980's WWF, there was a particular moment that wasn't quite so family friendly and kid friendly, and even a bit Attitude and Ruthless Aggression era like.

During the late 1980's, Rowdy Roddy Piper no longer had his iconic Piper's Pit interview segment, but instead would sometimes appear on Prime Time Wrestling in the WWF, where wrestling commentators would speak behind a table and it looked like a news program.

That'll do just fine for your little plan.

Rowdy Piper had grown his hair longer by the end of the 1980's, and he looked so much more handsome with long hair.

During a segment on Prime Time Wrestling in 1989, Rowdy Roddy Piper had hosted it and didn't have any little bangs clinging to his forehead.

He looked so handsome like this and you told him you didn't want him to have bangs during this segment.

You had your hair teased and hairsprayed, this was the 1980's, and wore a midriff bearing halter top and short little denim shorts that reached the tops of your thighs.

There's a reason why you wore this.

This moment of Prime Time Wrestling was filmed for television, and you set next to Rowdy Roddy Piper while he was rambling about something.

You were just staring at him, grinning and thirsting over him and how hot he looks, biting your bottom lip and looking like you wanted to fuck him.

You didn't wear red lipstick in this segment because you're afraid if you bite your lip, you'll get red lipstick on your teeth, although you're worried you'll get lipstick on your teeth in general.

The other person Rowdy Roddy Piper was talking to noticed you looking at Hot Rod, mentioning how you're staring at Roddy like you want him.

Eventually, you leaned into the little microphone in front of you and put one of your hands on Roddy's shoulder, telling him he's really cute.

Pretty soon, the camera focused solely on Rowdy Roddy Piper sitting down behind a table as well as you, not the other person the Hot Rod was talking to, the camera filling the entire television screen with the room Roddy and you were sitting in.

You had then lifted your feet off of the floor and placed them on the chair you were sitting on, standing on the chair and then placing one of your feet on the table in front of you, then the other foot on the table.

Roddy's eyes grew wide seeing you now standing on the table, and your back was turned in front of the camera while your torso and head were in front of Rowdy Roddy Piper.

You began to slowly sway your hips back and forth horizontally, swaying your hips to some sexy mood music that fit the pace of your dancing, you were trying to sexually arouse the Hot Rod.

Rowdy Roddy Piper had an ear-to-ear smile spreading across his face while you danced for him, his eyes looked at you, thank goodness he was standing behind a table to hide his boner.

Even though this wasn't filmed, your fingers were grabbing onto the bottom of your top and started lifting it up your torso more and more, and Rowdy's eyes were staring at your hands, he knew what was up next.

'Tis a shame that the camera isn't filming your torso, however...

As your top elevated up your torso more and more, pretty soon, the bottom of your top was over your breasts, showing your barenaked tits in front of Rowdy Roddy Piper, flashing him.

You didn't have a bra underneath your top or even nipple pasties, but you were showing the Hot Rod what Jerry Lawler would eventually nickname "puppies".

Roddy's eyes grew wide and wild seeing your tits, he had a huge ear to ear smile plastered and spread across his face.

You flashing Rowdy Roddy Piper predated when Drew Barrymore flashed David Letterman in 1995.

(Author's note: yes, this fanfic is inspired by when Drew flashed David, since David has his iconic late night talk show and Rowdy Roddy Piper had his Piper's Pit interview segment...)

Unlike Drew, it wasn't a quick little blip where she quickly lifted the bottom of her top, flashed her tits and then covered her boobs, you showed Roddy your breasts for quite some time.

Not just that, but you wiggled your breasts a little bit back and forth, as well as slightly bounced and jiggled your breasts.

You then got off of the table and straddled onto Rowdy Roddy's lap, where you can feel his erection under his kilt.

You removed your hands off of the bottom of your shirt and put them on the sides of his face, where you pulled him into your face and locked his lips in between yours.

His eyes were slightly bugging out and looking at the camera while you kissed him, whereas your eyes were closed.

Surprisingly, he isn't trying to push you off of him, no, he likes this.

You want to do more than just kiss him and flash him your boobs, and your hands moved from his face to his shirt collar, where you tried to rip and tear apart his iconic Hot Rod shirt a la Hulk Hogan.

Would he be angry if you did that to his signature, iconic shirt?

Rowdy Roddy Piper used to disrespect and troll people all the time, sometimes saying things that were downright problematic and shocking.

You feel a little horrible deep down inside for tearing apart such a wonderful shirt, but goddamn it, you want him, and your hands tore the middle of his shirt, more of his skin was showing under his shirt.

The camera eventually cut away from this, just in case things get too naughty.

Despite the WWF's Golden era of the 80's and early 90's being a family friendly era, this moment wasn't so particularly kid friendly and quite risqué.

Though, compared to Katie Vick, Jacqueline in thong swimsuits that left little to the imagination, Sable showing her breasts covered in handprints, and the Kat flashing her puppies to the audience, this moment is tame.

The WWF's Attitude era was an era that was popular around the same time Jerry Springer's infamous talk show, Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake's talk shows, Howard Stern, "South Park", Tom Green, Marilyn Manson, Lil' Kim and Eminem at his most shocking were all at the heights of their popularity, these things being notorious for being trashy shock value pop culture.

And guess what? The WWF during its Attitude era was very shocking and dare I say it, trashy.

However, during the late 80's and early 90's, Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Kinison were popular and controversial comedians infamous for their vulgar, obscene comedy (that was considered shocking even back then), 2 Live Crew were a popular and heavily controversial rap group notorious for their sexually explicit, pornographic lyrics that got them banned in their native Florida, Madonna was at her most hypersexualized during the early 1990's, Morton Downey Jr. and Geraldo Rivera had infamous talk shows that were predecessors to "The Jerry Springer Show", and so many hair metal bands sexually objectified women.

Maybe in the late 80's and early 90's the WWF could've had an Attitude era-esque era back then.

Actually, if you think about it, Rowdy Roddy Piper was a bit of a predecessor to the WWF's Attitude era; with his trash talking, insulting others and even saying and doing some things that are politically incorrect and problematic nowadays.

“You’re so vain” “Give em hell kid” And “I hope you die” I’d love to hear those explanations

Righto! Okay so recap for the people who might have missed it, this is about the radiosnake playlist I mentioned/linked a bit over a week ago, Serpentine & Demonswing. When I posted it I also added an “and if you wanna know why any songs are on the playlist you’re free to ask.” The playlist is a work in progress so some of my answers are gonna be “so here’s the explanation for why it was included but tbh I’m not 100% on keeping it.”

Important things to mention before getting into it: the playlist is build specifically off my headcanons from “Cold Day In Hell,” and so all of the songs act on the assumption that CDIH is “canon.” (tl;dr: they’re exes, because Alastor got scared of emotional intimacy, told Sir Pent he never actually liked him, and ran off after blowing up all his airships.) The first chunk of songs is from Sir Pent’s perspective, the second chunk is from Alastor’s, the third is from them both or about them both, and the last few songs are “I like the vibe but honestly am not sure this fits the playlist.”

Also, y’all are welcome to keep asking me about songs, because this is a lot of fun.

I’m absolutely sure that tumblr is going to delete this read more out of the post but I’m going to put one anyway, maybe it’ll let this one work just to be contrary. If it doesn’t, I apologize for the dash stretcher, that’s just how tumblr do.

So! Explanations:

You’re So Vain (Lyrics)

This one is on the Sir Pentious side, so, although it’s not directly/accurately about Alastor, it is about how Sir Pent sees him in light of their catastrophic breakup.

Verse 1 is less on the nose in its description of Alastor, but you get the impression of someone who is obsessed with how he comes across to other people, and who is far more interested in himself and the image he’s giving off than he is in any of the people he’s trying to impress. A great deal of Alastor’s personality is—or at the very least, comes off as—completely performative. As though to this day he’s still nothing but a radio host performing for a listening audience, even when he’s only talking to one person. The fact that he’s always wearing a fake smile and pointedly providing his own sound effects adds to that impression of a performer who never breaks character.

And the fact that the character in the song is still wholly self-absorbed even when he’s dancing with a partner gives a nice little glimpse into how Sir Pent’s retroactively reinterpreted his last evening with Alastor.

Verse 2 is the stanza that comes closest to completely accurately reflecting what went down between them. First, the alliance between them, the implicit promises that they the were going to conquer Hell and then Heaven as partners in crime—“Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair / And that you would never leave”—and then, the breakup—“But you gave away the things you loved / And one of them was me.” It’s the one line that acknowledges that the character in the song did, indeed, actually love the singer, and wasn’t just performing a role/playing at being in love.

It’s also a line that would ring false to Sir Pentious, because in the aftermath of CDIH, he genuinely doesn’t believe that Alastor ever loved him. He completely buys Alastor’s claim that he was just screwing around with Sir Pent’s emotions for his own entertainment. Words to the effect of “one of [the things you loved] was me” would never come out of Sir Pent’s mouth.

However. Of all the lines in all of the songs in Sir Pent’s portion of the playlist, that one line is the most accurate thing that could be said about Alastor, the blade that would stab into the core of who he is and the role that he played in this story. Because of his vanity—his selfishness, his pride, his obsession with his own independence, his fear of love, his fear of vulnerability, his fear of sharing his life with someone else, etc.—he didn’t just lose what he loved, he did very deliberately and intentionally give it away.

(I’ve always found that line to be the most interesting in the song, for the hint that this vain person did indeed truly feel for someone else, so I’m glad that line fits so well here.)

Verse 3 is just more “what Alastor is like as observed by Sir Pent,” except even more accurately than the first stanza. Constantly running around, constantly moving on from one brief source of entertainment to another (just stuff “threw his support behind the Happy Hotel” somewhere between “gambled on a horse race” and “watched an eclipse”), constantly socializing with dangerous people and people whom he’s going to hurt without caring in the slightest.

Okay so that’s the lyrics.

Making sure the aesthetics/styles/genres of the songs match the character they’re for is one of my high priorities on this fanmix—not to the extent that having the wrong style is an instant dealbreaker, but I’m going to be hesitant to include a song that doesn’t at all match the sound I’m going for. For Sir Pentious, I’m kind of running with two styles.

The first style is “sounds Victorian-ish enough to get a shrug and a nod from anybody who doesn’t actually know/care about Victorian-era music,” so that’s gonna be just about anything orchestral/symphonic that doesn’t clearly fall into a different genre, symphonic metal that sounds symphonic enough to satisfy me, instrumental covers of other songs (string quartets, piano, full orchestra...), things with harpsichords (LISTEN i know that harpsichords are more baroque but they’ve got the right Vibe, you know, they’ve got the Feeling), and things with organ—but like, it’s gotta sound like pipe organ (pipe organ—sounds like a church) and not like Hammond organ (Hammond organ—sounds like a baseball game). Also steampunk, except a lot of “steampunk” genre music sounds swingy/jazzy, so those songs get ruled out because that’s Alastor’s aesthetic. And also, like, actual classical music, but I’m not into a lot of actual classical music, so I don’t think any’s actually made it in yet, lmao.

The second style is based on what the creator herself said about Sir Pent’s music preferences: “Sir Pentious would listen to Blink-182. Pentious would literally listen to stuff like Linkin Park, Green Day, the emo stuff.” So I took "the emo stuff” as “oh okay cool so the stuff I listened to at 15 got it” and ran wild with that. I’ve been most heavily drawing from My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, and Mindless Self Indulgence to represent that half of Sir Pent’s preferences. (MSI because I feel like that fits an in-your-face and morally jaded villain, P!ATD because their newer stuff fits his flamboyance and exuberance and egotism, and MCR because... because I know them best.) I haven’t yet made much time to carefully comb the discographies of the other bands listed or look into other more traditional emo-associated acts.

Carly Simon’s original “You’re So Vain” matches neither of these styles.

I combed through about 60 different versions of “You’re So Vain” on Spotify looking for ones that meet one of these aesthetics. Like 90% of them were, I’m pretty sure, just various singers adding their vocals directly over a karaoke version of Carly Simon’s original.

In the end, the only one that came close was Marilyn Manson’s cover. He’s a bit outside of the bounds I try to stick in for Sir Pent, but like, okay, he’s industrial metal, but in a particularly goth way, that’s close enough to emo. To my mind, “Sir Pent listens to emo” is like... Sir Pentious’s musical preferences are going to be, 1) counterculture, the kind of stuff that causes conservative Christian moms to go into moral panics, but also 2) mainstream counterculture, the kind of bands that produce huge hits & get featured in major blockbuster movies, but also also 3) slightly dated mainstream counterculture, i.e., at the end of the 2010s he’s listening to the bands that may still be popular but that peaked in the mid 2000s, in keeping with the way he’s trying to keep hip and modern but always seems a little bit behind.

So, in the 2010s, he’s listening to 2000s emo acts. In the 2000s, he was listening to the 1990s’ biggest metal acts (like Marilyn Manson) and possibly grunge acts (things like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). In the 1990s, he was listening to the 1980s’ biggest post-punk and new wave acts (like The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Depeche Mode). Always evolving his stylistic preferences, always trying to keep up, but always a little behind. So that’s how I justify putting Marilyn Manson in lmao.

Although that was the only version of “You’re So Vain” I thought fit well enough, I also found a version by Trash Pour 4, a version by Les Reed Orchestra, and a version by Giant Sand that were all very good. Trash Pour 4 is driving me crazy because I can’t quite figure out what genre they are, I just can’t place them—but they’ve got several other good covers that I’d like to take advantage of at some point.

I also found a song called “You’re So Vain (Christian Dior)” by The Energy Commission that’s not a cover of Carly Simon’s song, just a new song with the same name. I’m lowkey considering including on Alastor’s side of the playlist. It’d serve as a very sharp critique of how image obsessed Sir Pent is, there’s some snappy turns of phrase that seem like they’d appeal to Alastor’s sense of humor (my two favorites are “He went off the deep end ‘cause he’s so shallow” and “He’s got a timepiece on his wrist and it says ‘watch me’”), the fact that it’s a critique specifically of high class materialism fits with the fact that I headcanon Sir Pent as coming from British nobility while Alastor’s ancestry is both racially and socially mixed (including at least one close relative who was a slave, I’m thinking a grandparent but haven’t settled on my headcanons yet), and I love when there are parallels like that in playlists about the relationship between lovers/partners/rivals/siblings/any-combo-of-two-people.

The reason I haven’t added it yet is because, by the end of the song, it’s not just a critique of being a rich shallow image-obsessed douche, but specifically of how that culture ties in to exploitative capitalism that’s wrecking human lives and the world—which, in the context of the characters we’re talking about here, would translate into a criticism of Sir Pentious’s very-imperialist-sounding take-over-the-world villain ambitions. Which isn’t something I think Alastor cares about. He probably should, but like, he just doesn’t. He’s a villain himself. I’m sure he’s got his own morals and standards and hard limits but “take over the world” isn’t on his list of dealbreakers. What’s taking over the world include? Mass murder and subjugation? Yeah, he’s cool with that. So that’s why I’m still on the fence about adding it.

Give ‘Em Hell, Kid (Lyrics)

So remember how I said that My Chemical Romance is one of the bands I’ve drawn from most heavily so far in looking for emo Sir Pent songs? Yeah for about a day there were six different MCR songs sitting in Serpentine & Demonswing as I slowly whittled them down to the ones that I thought fit best. “Give ‘Em Hell, Kid” is one of the last three, and actually one that I’m constantly on the verge of cutting.

Lyrically, it’s an Alastor song. There’s mentions of the singer having come from New Orleans (listen... i am a sucker for songs that mention New Orleans, it automatically earns five points on the imaginary “is this an Alastor song?” rubric in my head). The singer is singing about a love interest who’s gone, and he’s making no moves to pursue/reclaim the love interest, wishing them well (“So go on, live your life”), but he’s a wreck and a lesser person without them (“If you were here, I'd never have a fear,” “Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day”), and it’s just getting worse with time, not better (“But I miss you more than I did yesterday”).

The line “Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say” although directed toward “you,” i.e. the love interest, i.e. Sir Pentious, in my head actually reflects more on the things Alastor said to Sir Pentious: the cruel things he said to Pent—that he’s weak, ineffective, behind the times, a has-been, never going to conquer hell—ended up a self-fulfilling prophecy, because that’s exactly what Alastor’s rampage made happen. Today, as he is now, Sir Pentious is made from the sharpest things Alastor said.

“Your dreams and your hopeless hair” makes me think of Sir Pent’s wild efforts to conquer hell (and, of course, his ridiculous cobra hood), and “We never wanted it to be this way for all our lives” is a perfect expression of Alastor’s regrets/remorse over what his actions have done to both of their lives, but especially to Sir Pent’s life.

And all the references to violence—murder scenes, firing squads, sharpest things—fit with the fact that both of them chose to live lives soaked in blood.

So it’s a perfect Alastor song. The only problem is, it’s an MCR song, which is sooo far outside of my acceptable genres for him. (I’m not gonna get into Alastor’s genres now bc there are better songs to do that on, just know emo ain’t it.) And not only is it outside of his acceptable genres, it’s in the OTHER character’s acceptable genres, which is very messy. I can vibe with “lovers’ songs borrowing from each other’s aesthetic” a LITTLE bit when it’s used to represent, like, emotional synchronicity or the like (ex: both “Roustabout” and Vernian Process’s “Maple Leaf Rag” are on my “Alastor+Sir Pent style fusion songs” list). But MCR is a big departure from Alastor’s acceptable styles.

Plus, the playlist already has two MCR songs, and do I really need three songs from the same band? Unless there’s a really good reason, I try to avoid having repeats from the same band on one playlist—I feel like a good well-rounded fanmix oughta have a diversity of sources. (With “a really good reason” being something like “I’ve got the playlist divided into five sections detailing five phases of the character’s life and each section is introduced with a different track from the same band” or “I’ve got an instrumental version of the song to kick off the playlist to serve as ‘foreshadowing’ for when the version with lyrics shows up at the most dramatic moment” or something like that.)

If I was going to, like, make it a thing, I could. Justify it like “there’s one MCR song that represents them when they’re together, one MCR song from Sir Pent’s perspective, and one MCR song from Alastor’s perspective, like a little triangle,” but like... if I was going to do that I feel like I’d want to do it with a style that’s either representative of both of them or else independent of both of them, and MCR is so heavily a Sir Pent sound. Basically, having three songs from one band would be okay if it was a band that vibes with the overall tone I’m shooting for in the playlist—but it’s not. So I’m very torn on “Give ‘Em Hell, Kid.”

“El Tango De Roxanne” + “Overture” + “I Hope You Die”

Okay before I can talk about “I Hope You Die” by itself, I kind of have to explain its exact position in the playlist and its relationship with the other two songs I just listed.

While MOST of the playlist is chunked up into the four sections I mentioned earlier (Sir Pent, Alastor, both, undecided), within those sections the songs aren’t really in any particular order. The one exception is the very first three songs on the playlist/the very first three songs in Sir Pent’s section.

These three songs, presented in that order, all as Sir Pent songs, serve as Sir “in war, the side remembered is the side with the most style” Pentious the Super Villain making his big entrance like:

youtube

“El Tango De Roxanne” starts slow/quiet, and then (with a couple of brief dips) it gradually builds in volume and pain and intensity, getting faster and more emphatic, switching from mournful longing to nearly-angry anguish, until it ends with a pained scream, steampunkish percussion, howling background singers, and a wailing violin.

And then it pauses, for just a moment.

And then “Overture” hammers you with the most dramatic opening chord you will ever hear on an organ in your life, perfectly matching the energy at the end of “El Tango De Roxanne” and maintaining that level of energy throughout the song.

And then it stops so quickly it’s like someone gasped, holding its breath for a split second—and then some dude yells “You must die! I alone am best!” and the guitars kick in for “I Hope You Die,” leading into a depiction of the most intense, vitriolic, disgusting sort of loathing imaginable.

The build-up from “El Tango De Roxanne” and “Overture” really revs up “I Hope You Die,” the intensity of the organ in “Overture” highlights the intensity of the guitar in “I Hope You Die,” and all together it hypes up what could have been just a dark humor song about hating someone into something that sounds like a very genuine demonstration of hatred.

And taken all together, it makes for a fantastic intro for Sir Pent.

It also serves as a perfect intro to the current state of affairs between him and Alastor—sort of expressing his personal emotional journey on the morning Alastor betrayed him, as his reaction transforms over the course of three songs from grief/despair to fathomless fury.

There’s more I could say individually about “El Tango De Roxanne” and “Overture,” but I won’t, because it’s “I Hope You Die” time.

“I Hope You Die” (Lyrics - warning for a whole stanza dedicated to hoping someone gets raped in prison)

A small handful of the songs in my Hazbin playlists were discovered in and added from existing Hazbin character playlists I found on Spotify before I started making my own. “I Hope You Die” was one of them, found here. Which is why it was added even though it doesn’t fit my strict genre standards, it won me over before I narrowed down the styles I’m working with lmao.

(I feel like “El Tango De Roxanne” was one of those too, but I can’t now find a Spotify playlist containing it that added it before I did. Where did I grab it from? It’s not something I would’ve looked up on my own, something must have inspired me. IDK what though. None of the other songs mentioned in this post were found on other playlists.)

So this song is, obviously, just about how much some dude hates somebody else and wants extremely horrible things to happen to them. It’s sorta... *eyes lyrics uneasily* ... sorta tasteless; but, tasteless in a way that I feel like reflects back on the character singing the song. The feeling I come away from after finishing the song isn’t “the band wants you to think the person they’re singing about deserves this to happen to them,” because it doesn’t even give a reason why the singer hopes this person suffers; but rather, “the band wants you to think that this is the kind of hatred that the character/persona the singer is portraying is capable of, this is the kind of vile stuff that character wants to see done to their enemies, this is representative of the depths of that character’s rage.” Which is why I’m like “yeah... okay, sure, that fits” even though I’m real iffy about the last couple stanzas.

Because for a character who’s in Hell surrounded by people who have stomped on the last dredges of their civility and decency, and a character who’s patterned after a super villain (and, because the series creator dropped the idea that there are heroes/villains in the living world, the only super villain in this setting), and a character who gleefully boasts about being evil, and a character who we know demonstrates very rapid/extreme emotions and expressions of hate/outrage... Yes, I can absolutely see this song as the exact sort of hatred Sir Pentious would level at somebody who’s slighted him. And Alastor blew way the hell past “slighting” him. Alastor, without exaggeration, has ruined his life (afterlife?) and over fifty years later Sir Pent is still unsuccessfully struggling to get back up to the level he was at before he even met Alastor. Right now, Sir Pentious really and truly and deeply despises Alastor.

A song like this—sheer, frothing, unrestrained, vengeful contempt—tells you a whole lot about what kind of emotions Sir Pentious is capable; and it tells you a whole lot about the kind of effect Alastor’s actions have had on him, to inspire this level of reaction from someone who was very close to him for fifteen years and increasingly in love with him for probably a good amount of that time.

Plus, the “You must die! I alone am best!” is such a very, very Sir Pentious sentiment.

So that’s those songs! Again, y’all are free to ask me for my thoughts on more. Yes, most of them will probably be like this, lol.

#(i'm p sure the fact that i included links means this will stay out of the main tags)#(but i'm gonna include some dummy tags so the main fandom tags aren't in the first 5 just in case)#anonymous #ask #music #radiosnake #hazbin hotel

any trash songs that are dear to you, dr. fudge? especially that go well with trashy ships hehe

sorry for replying eons later

well, this question has the power to truly Expose™ me on the first day of Christmas, but… here goes nothing

i think ppl expect me to respond with something like “tear you apart” from she wants revenge, which is a great song! but i’m afraid i’m going to have to take you back to the ye olde days and show you what really embarrassing, early ‘00s trash sounded like.

first, a few concessions:

trash by suede and poison by alice cooper are 80s/90s classics of the “you’re bad for me but i can’t help it” dynamic. but they’re too classy for this list. there’s not gonna be any Divine on this list, no 80s late-disco jams, no “west end girls” by pet shop boys, no britney doing “toxic” or “momma i’m in love with a criminal”, no christina aguilera wrestling in the mud while singing about being “dirty”, no baz luhrmann-esque “lady marmalade”. that’s all great. it’s just not this list.

you also won’t find any my chemical romance, panic at the disco, evanescence, papa roach, marilyn manson etc. because they weren’t part of my trash experience. i mean they were there in the background, i was aware of them (and who hasn’t watched edits with “bring me to life”? don’t lie…)… and they’re kind of similar to what i have here, but they weren’t the trash i was particularly attuned to (plus, manson can choke).

some other exclusions: i remember the original p&p edits back in 2005 had all of these “cuz there’s you and me and all other people” songs that were really wonderful, cheesy, shippy songs. but that’s…not this list (although that would make a great list too! remind me to do that one too!)

i once got a message about how “mr. brightside” by the killers would make a great song for a bonkai edit, and…i like the killers just fine, and that’s a great song, but…no. this list ain’t that.

the trash here is not trash on purpose, it’s not tongue-in-cheek, it’s not a “steamy hot mess”, it’s just…really bad and angsty and earnest and totally committed to the “no one understands me (but you)” vibe that a lot of early ‘00s trash ships fostered.

okay…let’s…shame…me…:

1. cold by crossfade - back in the late ‘00s, you couldn’t find an anime AMV that didn’t have this song in the background, ESPECIALLY if your male character was a murderous, brooding (secretly soft) boi who disdained the female sex because “feelings are weakness” or something. it was baaaad, but it’s a nostalgic fave. the whole song is basically about how that arrogant, cold guy who’s shunned you and treated you badly was secretly into you all this time. yeaahhhh. (i remember this song was also popular with m/m ships because you had that classic dynamic where one of the guys was still in denial about his “gay” feelings. god i miss 2006.)

2. vermilion pt. 2 by slipknot - another 2005/2006 era song that capitalizes on the bad guy/good girl trope where she’s too “good” for the brooding antihero, but he can’t help but ruin her. or something. it’s soooo angsty. it has the great, eerie feeling of a doomed romance which was also definitely written by teenagers. i love it.

3. i hate everything about you by three days grace - obviously, you can’t leave out the big dick energy song.

4. anything by nine inch nails’ 2000-2010 period, but especially “fragile” and “we’re in this together now”, because they’re very much trashy power couple aesthetics, but also aaaaangsssst. “fragile” always cracks me up because it’s basically that one direction song about how the girl doesn’t know she’s beautiful, except it’s alternative rock and trent reznor is screaming about how he has to save this beautiful, pure soul from the corruption of the world. (for anyone expecting “closer”, that’s a great song…but i said real, embarrassing trash).

5. vampire heart by HIM - because OF COURSE. 2006 me was LIVING for Vampire Hunter D AMVs. that iconic line “love me like you love the sun” POETRY OKAY. another fave line has to be “you can’t escape the wrath of my heart”….like, whew, what a badass.

6. hate me by blue october - AAAANGST. aaaaaaaaaangst. maybe the apogee of late ‘00s cheesy alternative rock. but probably not. there’s always one that goes harder. this list, unfortunately, is 90% this genre because they really SLAPPED when you put them together with trashy ships okayyyyy there was an innocence and earnestness that the ‘post-9/11 iraq invasion’ atmosphere really captured.

7. let me go by 3 doors down - see, i was wrong, THIS is the apogee. “you love meeeee, but you don’t know who i aaaaaam” belts the lead singer of this oft-forgotten band aaaaand 15-year old me screamed yaaaaaaaaas

8. pieces by sum 41 - WRONG AGAIN. IT’S THIS ONE. the anime AMVs…my god….i can even tell you, beat by beat where the angsty edits happened depending on the breaks in the song.

9. sour girl by stone temple pilots - “bad” boy waxing about how he’s ruined a good girl? check. super Extra lyrics that go “what would you do? what would you do if i followed you?” check. sarah michelle gellar/buffy being a dark goth muse for the tormented bad boy? triple check!!

10. hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me by U2 - i meaaaaaaan. it’s in the title. 10-year old me WAS LIVING. this is THE batman song, and if there’s a god, it will be featured in the upcoming robert pattinson movie. ppl wanna say this song is more of the “trash on purpose” variety, but i don’t think so. i think joel schumacher plays this dead straight (and “batman forever”, while being one of the cheesiest movies ever made, takes itself extremely serious).

11. insatiable by darren hayes - finally breaking away from the alt rock scene a bit for this one. ppl who are now trying to make this song “respectable” and classify it as sweet 00s nostalgia are WRONG. everything about this song is convoluted and overly wrought and pitch perfect, even the fact that you would never believe that this waspy blond dude in the music video has anything to do with the actual song.

12. behind blue eyes by limp bizkit - don’t look at meeeee. this is basically a meme song. the band itself turned out to be dumpster fire and fred durst is…blehh. but this song stiiiiiill slaps, i have the courage to say it. the video definitely helps, i mean u got that trashy dynamic of prisoner/guardian @___@ and halle berry @___@. half-naked fred durst kinda ruins it, but it’s still got its charm.

13. i have to include some linkin’ park songs here at the end and i’m choosing the ones that were trashiest to me and that’s gotta be “one step closer” and “somewhere i belong” because they were always juxtaposed with villain/heroine ships in edits, and i remember fanfic authors would use them in songfics. “in the end” and “numb” are waaaayyy too classy.

additional “kinda too good for this list” rec: the entire Queen of the Damned soundtrack, but especially “slept so long”, “system” and “before i’m dead” and really ALL the songs.

this disaster list could definitely go on (i’m sure u guys can pitch in. and hey, i might be persuaded to do part 2) but imma stop here before i lose my last shred of credibility on this website lol. k byeeeeeee

Ash Costello: The 10 Songs That Changed My Life

The first song I remember hearing…

Prince – Let's Go Crazy (1984)

“I remember being sat in a booster seat in the car and hearing this – I can recall it so vividly. My mum was driving and she was a huge Prince fan. My dad was more into stuff like Alice Cooper – he played the song Feed My Frankenstein a lot. The music I heard as a child was my first step towards discovering what I really loved.”

The song that reminds me of my childhood…

Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal (1987)

“This was my jam and I thought it was the coolest shit in the world! Michael Jackson was my favourite when I was a kid – I remember being totally captivated by him. He possessed almost superhuman qualities, like he was larger than life. He was a complete legend.”

The song that reminds me of my first love…

The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? (1984)

“It was a high-school heartbreak and I was too young to understand it wasn’t a big deal. I’d listen to this song on my Walkman cassette player with my headphones in. I had my first kiss to How Soon Is Now?, so listening to it made me feel super sad. Whenever I felt down and wanted to live in that moment, I’d put that track on.”

The first of our songs I ever heard played on the radio…

New Years Day – Ready Aim Misfire (2007)

“This was the first song we ever wrote. Now, it’s outdated because it sounds like that ’00s emo scene, but it really reflected what was going on. We were all in our van when we first heard it on the radio – we were in a parking lot in our hometown, waiting for it. When it came on, we all jumped around and screamed!”

The song that picks me up when I’m down…

Marilyn Manson – Cupid Carries A Gun (2015)

“I’m the queen of putting a song on and dancing alone in my house ridiculously! We toured with him [in 2015] and those shows were a huge deal for me. I can still picture him dancing to it every night.”

The song that was hardest to write…

New Years Day – Malevolence (2015)

“This took months to write, but when we finally completed it, it became my favourite song of ours for a long time. It was a really rough process to articulate my feelings.”

The song that I’ve played the most…

My Chemical Romance – I'm Not Okay (I Promise) (2004)

“I’ve probably heard this song a million times over now and I’ll always love it. How genius is it to have the words ‘I’m not okay’ as the hook? It’s like an anthem for everybody’s lives. Some of the lyrics are super specific, but, like, the overall idea applies to pretty much everybody, and, well, I’m totally not okay.”

My favourite song to play live…

New Years Day – Disgust Me (2018)

“Whenever we put a new song in the set, that immediately becomes my favourite to play, just because it sounds fresh. The reaction to it has been great. We started playing it before we released the single, and it was the first time in New Years Day’s history that I’d seen kids singing the words of a song before they’d heard a recording. With Disgust Me, you hear the chorus once and it’s immediately stuck in your head. I’m really proud of that.”

The song that I’d like to be remembered for…

New Years Day – Angel Eyes (2013)

“We worked on it with Chris from Motionless In White, and it really put New Years Day on the map. To this day, it’s a huge song in our scene and I’m proud to have produced something that’s had an impact like that, because it doesn’t happen often. Bands can write good songs, but they don’t always make an impression. Chris and I singing together mixed well with the concept of the video to produce the tastiest fucking combo. It just worked.”

The song I’d like played at my funeral…

Michael Jackson – Thriller (1982)

“It’s just hit me that if people were coming to my funeral they would expect to hear Thriller. If I could pre-plan the whole thing then I’d hire dancers to entertain everyone by doing the famous Thriller dance down the aisles. It would be so much fun! I don’t take many things in life seriously, so why would I treat my funeral any differently? I was thinking about saying something depressing like Guns N’ Roses’ November Rain, or something really cheesy like a Bruno Mars song, but it has to be Michael Jackson.”

Small update lol

Hey! I wanted to write some more since I have some things I wanted to get off my chest. Nothing too important, I'm also looking for an excuse to write lol. This was also written over the space of 3 days because I kept running out of time lol. Today I finished my exams, which went well, though it was such a drag, I didn't finish my maths exam which I was a little disappointed in, but my maths teacher said that nobody finished it and that she'll do a run-through with us all, and that eased me down for my finals. I currently do 2 days a week at school since I'm not allowed back into school for the dumbest reason ever. Last year I was assaulted and blamed, so they narrowed me down to doing 2 days a week (but come in extra days if I can manage it) So I came in the extra day because I wanted to see my friend on her last day. During that, I get sent home at 11 am for 'being in on the wrong day' which really pissed me off considering they said it'd be great if I came in more than twice a week. After that, I didn't go back for months and missed a whole lot of my education, and then that got narrowed down to 2 hours of tutoring a week, and that's when I started to panic since I had my first set of mocks coming up. I failed them all except for my English paper. That could've gone better, but I think I did well this time, and I'm really glad about that. Today I punched someone for calling me a paki, which I took heavily offended, my dad is from pakistan and I'm part paki, so being told ''fuck off you paki'' wasn't really the thing to brighten up my day, and it didn't help me trying to get in more days a week, but to say the least, I think its time I gave her a punch in. I've also finally decided that I'll be doing hairdressing at college, and I'm really excited about that! I'll have to proper study down on my science though, which won't be a problem since science is my favourite subject. Once I turn 18 I'm applying for a course in body piercing and will probably get a job at the bar down the road from me while doing drums and writing in my spare time. After I finish that, I might go back to college and do psychology, sociology and criminology, I would love to do those as A-Levels now, but my parents said I wouldn't be good enough, so I'll probably do that after I finish my courses in hairdressing and body piercing if I still want to do it. I really love hairdressing, I've had my hair dyed for 6 years now and haven't had it a normal colour since, and I've had it every colour of the rainbow! (Which I think is quite the achievement). Some kid dared me to do my hair multicolour, which I've taken on and plan to do in the future, and I can't wait. My hair is currently neon green, and it looks amazing once I do it up along with my makeup.

TW: Small mention of s*ic*de in this! I ended up finding two of my old diaries from years ago, i think it was when i first started high school, amd oh my god I regret rereading them. I must have thought I was so edgy or something, but in a way that I was thinking ''I'm not edgy because i dont act like'' and so on, but fucking hell. They're full of song lyrics I wrote, old guitar beats I put together, poems I wrote and artists I listened to;I went through a burning CDs phase, and wrote down some artists and CDs I wanted to burn, and all of them failed except a few lol. The first two pages of one diary (the empty ones before you get to the lined paged) are full of 'quotes' I wrote and song lyrics I used to love, theres Marilyn Manson, linkin park, fall out boy, and a lot of other shit, no disrespect though because I still listen to a lot of them now, others i just find utter shit. The song lyrics were on a different level of edgy though, I had this one friend once, lets call him Owen, Owen was older than me and emo, which at the time I thought was hot, and we made plans to run away and play our ukuleles together in a small flat, and honestly they were nice plans, i'm just doing it on my own now lol. And i fell in love with Owen and wrote songs about him and us; looking back on it now its really fucking funny, but back then I was dead serious. Owen and I don't speak anymore, he told me he was going to kill himself, and I spammed him with calls and texts and he never replied, a few weeks later I hear from his friend and apparently he's doing fine, and just ignored me, so I decided to stop talking to him since it really upset me at that point.

I actually want to mention that I might post a little less content for a bit, but hang in there and be patient and know I am not gone! I'm going on holiday to Disney land!! I'll post all about it once I'm back, I'll be going for 3 - 4 days and staying in a villa while staying in Paris/France for the rest of the two weeks, and i hope to finally have a long fucking break from all this stress.

Thanks if you made it this far, remember to enjoy life and be safe, and don't stress! We're all in this together :)

Survey #332

i’m even more tired than before to try and think up song lyrics, i’m pasting from Word and then fucking off to bed lmao.

What was the last video message you received on your phone? I think it was a clip of Doris (Sara's beardie) eating and just being her perfect self? Was your last birthday cake homemade or store bought? Store-bought. One thing you miss about middle school? Shit, nothing. Middle school was the worst. Do you have any shirts signed by famous people? No. Have you ever entered an art competition? Yes. Would you ever pierce yourself? No. I am very much about having a professional do your body mods/art. Plus, I have tremors in my hands. Do you live in a safe neighbourhood? Supposedly. We haven't lived here nearly long enough to know. What is the last thing you did that shocked someone? /shrug Do you often find yourself questioning your future? Only always. Have you ever been for a ride in the back of a truck? Yeah. Do you like your license photo? I hate my permit picture. Are you into superheroes? Who’s your favorite? Not very, but I like 'em enough. I always say my favorite is Deadpool, but I know he's technically an anti-hero, but whatever. If you don't include him, uhhhh... maybe Spiderman. Have you started watching any new TV shows recently? No. Have you ever been able pet a normally wild animal, like a tiger or dolphin? No. :( At least, not to my recollection. Have you ever eaten snow? Yeah. There's actually a winter treat 'round here that you make with snow and sugar called snow cream. Good stuff. What is the messiest area in your home? Right now, the spare room/my wanna-be "office." What’s your favorite computer game genre? Still horror, like video games. Do you have any exes your parents never liked? No. Have you received financial help from your parents in the past 5 years? I'm completely financially dependent on them still. Are you a fast or a slow eater? I eat like, stupid fast, but without being messy. People *cough*Mom*cough* will absolutely point it out, but I seriously can't help it. Making a conscious effort to eat slow feels way too weird. What was the last thing you purchased from a small local business? I don't know. Is there anyone in your family/household whom you frequently argue with? No. Have you ever used chewing tobacco? Ew, no. Tell me what's on your mind? I've been considering yet again reaching out to some tattoo parlors and asking if they're open to hiring someone to handle the front desk and take care of business besides actually performing piercing and tattooing, given my tremors. My group therapy has kinda been encouraging me to use the possibility for social exposure, and besides, I'm very comfortable in the environment and just general aura of tat parlors. I'm sure I'd have to answer the phone, handle money, and obviously talk to costumers, but I know and accept that. I've been at such a stagnant point with my social anxiety in particular that I have to start pushing back harder, and doing this I feel would be one of the most relaxed, social job positions I can hopefully handle. I don't dare to even try this though until I get vaccinated to protect my immunocompromised mom. Writing this all out has actually been pretty encouraging about this idea... Do you wish you never dated someone you dated? Yeah, Tyler. It was such a "I'm lonely and he was nice in high school, so we'll try it" situation. I got nothing from it. Are you scared of growing old alone? Pretty badly. What are you listening to right now? I'm listening to/semi-watching John Wolfe play the remaster of Resident Evil 2. What breed was the last dog you saw? He was a German shepherd. Would you ever go swimming during a thunderstorm? No. Any time a thunderstorm was brewing and I was in the pool, I'd always get out. What is the next concert you will attend? Mom and I plan to see Ozzy when/if he reschedules his tour after he had to cancel with his Parkinson's diagnosis. What was the name of the last pet of yours that died? Teddy. :/ What's the highest science class you have taken? I don't know, actually. What makes you squeal like a school girl? No shame, seeing Mark and Amy do something cute together actually does this, lmao. What’s your favorite symbol? (i.e. the pentagram, the cross, etc.) Do fictional ones count? Because in that case, the Halo of the Sun from the Silent Hill franchise. I'm getting it tattooed somewhere at some point, I'm thinking the left side of my neck. I'm either gonna fashion it in a way where it looks branded on or carved into me. Have you ever been on anti depressants? For all of my pre-teen, teen, and some of my adult life. Apparently, I've only had one truly educated psychiatrist out of no less than a dozen I'd seen, because he fixed me right up. He taught me that those who suffer from bipolarity should avoid anti-depressants; they ramp up your bipolar symptoms. Instead, mood stabilizers are favorable. And what do you know, after I was prescribed a stabilizer and a catalyst for that medication, my depression decreased dramatically and became handleable. Have you ever starved yourself? Kinda. What’s the stupidest name you’ve ever given a pet? I had a guinea pig named Harry Potter. For no particular reason lmao. I'm not even a Harry Potter fan. Do you have nice legs? God no. Do you like fedoras? Okay so I know I am in the strong minority, but I actually do, haha. What is your favorite food group? Carbs. @_@ Have you ever got told that you should be a model? No, but one of the most flattering indirect compliments I've ever gotten was being mistaken for one. Jason's phone wallpaper was one of my favorite pictures of myself with my first snake, and someone asked him if I was a model. ;v;' What song is in a language you don’t speak, but you love it anyway? "Donaukinder" by Rammstein is one of my faves. Who’s a villain you sympathize with and why? SOBS Darkiplier bc his origins are so damn tragic and unfair. What book do you think should be directed as a film? Was The Giver ever made into one? I don't remember that book well, but I do recall it being absolutely beautiful. Have you ever found a stranger’s note somewhere? If so, what did it say? No. Have you ever edited Wikipedia? No. Have you ever edited any other wiki? Yeah. I have thousands on the Silent Hill wiki, where I'm one of the admins. I'm also a content moderator at the Team Ico (Shadow of the Colossus devs) one. Every now and again I used to go on the meerkats wiki as well, where I mainly fixed the fucking nightmarish grammar. Very briefly, I edited at the Dragons of Atlantis wiki as well. Do you get scared when you know some virus or sickness is being passed? Not very, but of course I still acknowledge the risk and am more conscious of hand washing and stuff. What popular social media platforms AREN’T you on? Snapchat, I don't actually use my Twitter, I don't have a personal Instagram... There may be more, idk. Is TikTok a "social media platform?" Because I don't have that, either. What was the name of the first porcelien doll you got? Never had one, given I was afraid of dolls as a kid. What’s your favorite Paramore song? "Decode." Would you be happy with a life without romance? To be entirely honest, I'd feel like I was missing something. Was your childhood happy? Mostly. What fundamentally matters do you? Love, kindness, peace, all that gooey stuff. Is true world peace ever possible? As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think so. The human population is far too big to come to a unanimous agreement on anything. Do you hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others? Yeah. Would you ever own a pet black widow spider? No. I'm getting more into the idea of owning invertebrates (I jabber enough about wanting tarantulas, and there are others, like mantises, I'm interested in as pets), but black widows, I'm not into the idea of having. Too venomous for me to be comfortable risking. If you have a job, what is the longest shift that you've worked? N/A Do you know all of the words to "Bohemian Rhapsody?" FUCK YES I DO. ^ Do you sing it with all of the different voices? sho nuff Do you own more than one copy of a certain book? No. Do you like interpreting poetry or just reading it for fun? Both. I love symbolism, so I get joy out of digging for subtle meanings in poems. Do you have a favorite Dr. Suess book? Yeah, it was always Green Eggs and Ham. Do you watch The Walking Dead? If so, favorite character? Not the show, but I've watched let's plays of the games, haha. In which case Clementine is inarguably one of the best female characters in a video game universe. Who has/had the most mature romantic relationship you’ve seen with your own eyes? Uhhh. I mean I never saw them much, but probably my late grandmother and her last husband. He was fucking incredible to her, and Grammy adored him as well. They helped each other so much and just obviously had the purest love between them. When was the last time you got something for free (legally)? What was it & have you enjoyed it so far? Lmao do balls in Pokemon GO count? Their occasional free boxes are the reason I can play the game because PokeStops are essentially non-existent here, so yes. What is the one fruit you can’t stand to eat? How about vegetable? The first one that came to me were oranges. I enjoy orange juice, but I just caaaaannot with the white veiny shit that you can't totally get off when peeling it. Without that, I might actually enjoy them, but idk. As for vegetable, asparagus is absolutely abhorrent. When’s the last time you actually recited the pledge? If you aren’t American, do/did you have anything similar in your country that you do during a time at school? Probably not since high school. Last person you shared food with? Ummm I have no idea. It's really just Mom and me here and we eat our own stuff. What was the last song you heard for the first time and enjoyed? I believe it waaas... "Down In The Park" by Marilyn Manson, maybe. If your life was a TV show, what would be the theme song? My inner high school emo just screamed "All Signs Point to Lauderdale" by AD2R. Who are some of your favorite female fictional characters, and why? Gahdamn, there's a lot. I don't feel like going through a mental list in my head and then describing why. A character (in anything) you wish hadn’t been killed off? Vol'jin; I think the entire WoW fanbase will forever be pissed about it. It was THE most "lul we dunno what 2 do w/ him anymore, let's let a totally random, unnamed, unimportant demon kill him" like what the fuck, Blizz. Most of his "oomph" was in the book, and I just really wish they'd done so much more with him in the game. Has anything “cute” happened in the past week? Off the top of me noggin, no. When did you last say “I love you”? Did you mean it? Yesterday to Sara. OF course I did. Is there someone who pops into your mind at random times? Hi, PTSD, how are ya. Have you ever slept all day? Essentially. When I was on a larger dose of my anxiety med, I physically couldn't stay up for barely even five minutes, and when I'd lie back down, boom, I was OUT. I stayed on that dosage for I think just that one day, it was so bad. Can you have kids? Well, I have a functioning menstrual cycle, so I would assume so. Doesn't mean I will, though. What colors of mascara have you worn on your lashes? Only black. Do you like eating sour things? Hell yeah, I love sour stuff, candy in particular. Do you like pickles? fuuuuck yeah Did you ever have a really close friend move away? Yeah, in elementary school. I feel bad I can't remember her name at the moment... What's the most creative thing you've ever done? I mean, I guess the things I've written in RP. What's the most creative thing someone has done for you? For me? I don't really know. Do you like to watch ghost-hunting shows? Sure, they're some of my favorites. What’s something you’d like to be better at? Social interaction. Have you ever stayed up to talk to someone who was sad? Yeah. Do you think you would make a good parent? No. I know I wouldn't. The only time I ever wanted kids was with Jason, and honestly, I really hope I don't end up with a man because I never want to deal with that urge again and make a mistake. I'm just in no way emotionally fit to be a mother. How many best friends do you have? Just one. What do you cry over the most? My PTSD, honestly. I never sob about it anymore, just shed some tears. What language did/do you take in high school? Latin for one semester, then all four available for German. Which sports do you follow? None. Who was the last person you talked about marriage or having kids with? About marriage, Sara. Kids, the subject was lightly touched upon with Girt, though "with" was never a part of it, but obviously implied seeing as we were dating with long-term in mind. Have you ever been in a house fire? No, thankfully. Have you ever made out for one straight hour? them is rookie numbers Are you any good at remembering phone numbers? No. I literally don't even know my own, nor my mother's. I need to fix that. Who is your best friend of the opposite sex? Girt. Do you have a bookshelf? If so, just one or how many? No. If I gave you twenty bucks what would you do with it? Save it to go towards Venus' terrarium. Is there a movie from your childhood that you still watch today? Well of course! I'm unashamed to watch any "kids" movie I enjoy, like Disney ones. Most "kids" movies tend to be better than those intended for adults, it seems... Are you afraid of mice? Oh no, I adore mice and I think had a pair as pets before I got rats. What type of souvenir do you usually purchase when on vacation? I can't really answer this; I haven't gone on nearly enough vacations to develop a theme. I can say confidently though it'd probably be something small. If you could see any musical on Broadway right now, what would it be? I don't enjoy musicals. Have you ever watched Doctor Who? One or two with Sara, yes. I know we at least watched the weeping angels episode. If you read, which book or series did you enjoy most as a child? Warriors by S.E. Hinton. Sometimes I wanna get back into them, but I am YEARS behind and more into Wings of Fire anyway, so. I don't read nearly enough for both. How do you get rid of your hiccups? Literally no trick seems to work for me. I just suffer lmao.

Val Venis x Fem Reader- “Thirst Trap Queen”

It seems like every WWF era seems to have a male sex symbol who plays a cocky ladies man and seems to have a fanbase that consists mostly of women.

In the 80's and early 90's Golden Era, it was the Ravishing Rick Rude, in the New Generation era, it was Shawn Michaels, and in the Attitude era, it was Val Venis.

On a "Monday Night Raw" episode near the end of the 90's, when he was at the height of his wrestling popularity, hadn't cut his hair and joined that Right to Censor episode, Val Venis had left the shower, the camera filming him from above the genitals.

Val really previously did take a shower, his hair was damp, he turned the faucet off and water was dripping down his body.

When Val stepped out of the shower, steam was leaving the shower with him, clouding and fogging up the room.

However, he wasn't having sex with anyone in the shower, surprisingly.

Off camera, women and men were getting out of their seats and cheering when they saw Val walk out of the shower.

It's about to get even steamier a few minutes after this.

Goddamn it, you really hope the fog coming out of the shower doesn't blur the camera's lens.

Suddenly, you walked up to Val, which got even louder cheers than him when you were shown on camera.

The character you play in the WWF is a seductive, oversexed, nymphomaniac slut who basically is like the female Val Venis, or vice versa.

Some people would rather ship you with Val rather than with Triple H or Shawn Michaels.

Val's eyes noticed you when you strolled up to him, you stopped walking once you were standing right next to him.

He grinned when he looked at you.

"Hello" he welcomed, grinning and peering at you.

"Val" you said, smiling back at him and putting one of your hands on his chest "I always see you looking like you just hopped out of the shower when you enter the arena"

He nodded his head.

"And?" he asked.

"Well, before you have a match" you said "Maybe I could help dry you off"

The men in the audience cheered loudly when they heard that.

Even Val grinned hearing you say that, but he's pretending to be unbeknownst to what will happen later.

"But I'm not gonna dry you off with a towel" you admitted, naughtily grinning at him.

The men in the audience were a little shocked.

"What's she gonna dry him off with?" Jerry asked off screen, his voice shrill and high.

You then sunk yourself down below where the camera was filming Val, he was looking down at you sink down.

This was implying you were gonna give Val a blowjob, which made both genders in the audience cheer and shout their heads off, shouting "yyyyyyyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Val was grinning at you looking like you were about to give him oral sex.

Even though the camera wasn't filming it yet, Val leaned his head back, closed his eyes and groaned, sounding and looking like he does in his titantron when he was sitting in a car getting oral sex from some chicks.

"Oh my!" Jerry Lawler shrieked "Is she doing what I think she's doing?!"

The audience watching this thought you were giving him a blowjob, but no, you weren't.

You leaned your face below his abdomen and placed the tip of your tongue on the skin a few inches above his genitals, only for you to lick all the way up the middle of his torso.

The tip of your tongue became the majority of your tongue as you licked the water up his skin.

Your body was raising up when you licked up his body, the camera filming you.

This took the audience even more by shock, which made both genders cheer for you, some men even letting out some of those silly wolf whistles at you.

"I wasn't expecting her to do that!" Jerry lied.

Though, what else are you gonna dry him off with?

"Val" you said to him once your head was close to his chest. "I was feeling a little thirsty tonight, and you can quench my thirst"

The women in the audience cheered hearing you say that, though they also wanna ring your neck for stealing their man.

They wanna ring your neck in general, you got to have Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Christian, Test, and eventually Jeff Hardy and they know it courtesy of "Monday Night Raw".

Lucky bitch.

He grinned hearing you confess that.

"Well, y'know what they say about the Big Valbowski" he stated, grinning and smiling while he said this "I can make your mouth wet and moist, amongst other body parts"

Classic Val Venis sexual innuendo.

The women in the audience agreed with that, shrieking their lungs out off camera, whereas the men in the audience off camera cheered and roared with applause.

You blushed and smiled from ear to ear hearing that innuendo, trying to contain yourself, only for you to sink back down to his stomach, slightly crouching yourself on the ground.

When you were crouching in front of Val's genitals, your body was trying to conceal his nudity from the camera, much to the dismay of his female fanbase.

The audience, however, did get to see a view of his leg, and he really was naked in this moment.

Your tongue pressed on the left side of his abdomen, licking up the water all the way up to his chest.

Your tongue was tickling his skin, making his nipples as well as a little something below his navel tingle.

He, meanwhile, looked down at you licking up his body, having his shit eating grin plastered on his face while you licked him.

When your head was close enough to his chest, one of your hands moved up to the end of his hair strand, where you pulled the end of his hair to your mouth.

"Oh no" Jim Ross exclaimed off camera when you pulled the end of Val's hair to your mouth "She's not gonna!"

But before he could finish that sentence, the ends of Val's hair was in between your lips, where you gently sucked the water off of the ends of his hair.

This was the epitome of a confused boner.

The people in the audience had mixed reactions.

Some were cheering this on, roaring "yyyyyyyyyyyyyeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!", others were grossed out, shouting "ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!" and "aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!!", but they weren't saying "aaaaaaaaaaw" as if something's adorable.

You had a naughty little smirk on your face when you sucked the end of his hair.

Val was smiling at you sucking his hair, though he's also a little bit grossed out.

He wasn't expecting you to do this.

"Val" you said, your fingers pulling the ends of his hair out of your mouth, "Do you have a match to do right now?"

You suddenly didn't sound so sexy or seductive anymore.

"Yes I do!" he confessed.

"So I should stop licking you?" you asked, pouting.

"I'm afraid so" he admitted, frowning. "Though, after this match, the two of us can cuddle up in the shower again, how about that?"

He grinned from ear to ear saying that, putting his hands on your hips and swaying his hips from side to side.

The audience cheered off screen again hearing that.

His grin was spreading to you, which made you sheepishly smile as well.

"That's what I was thinking" you admitted. "Could clean the sweat off of you"

He patted your shoulder, smiling at you.

He then walked away, grabbing a towel when he walked off camera.

There's still plenty of water you haven't licked off of him.

_______________________________________________________________

There's a British Youtuber named Paul Joseph Watson, maybe you've heard of him?

He believes depression isn't a real mental illness, but love is a mental illness, and Islam is not a religion of peace.

One of Paul's most notorious rants is a rant about pop culture and why is it so vulgar, and that it's more vulgar than ever before (he posted this in 2017).

I wonder how he felt about the WWF's Attitude era of the late 90's and early 2000's: arguably the most violent, oversexualized, trashy, and downright shocking era the WWF/E has ever had (the reason I put "arguably" is because there was the WWE's Ruthless Aggression era, which was the Attitude era 2.0).

The WWF during the Attitude era was the most popular show on television in the late 90's, and this era was notorious for being "crash TV".

The WWF in the Attitude era had even higher ratings than it did in the 80's, and the Attitude era was popular enough to cross over into pop culture: be parodied in Mad and Cracked magazine, be on the covers of TV-Guide magazine, and people wearing Austin 3:16 shirts and doing D Generation X's "suck it" catchphrase and gesture.

Yet, it was a very shocking and dare I even say it, trashy era, an era where wrestlers played pimps, porn stars, sex addicts, horny old ladies, incestuous and even pedophilic "Leave it to Beaver" parodies and fratboys who wore blackface, sprayed racist cartoons and messages on black people's locker rooms, women ripped the clothes off of each other until they were down to bras and thongs, did bikini contests dressed in thong bikinis and wrestled in kiddie pools filled with pudding while dressed in thong bikinis, one woman from this era was even forced to strip and bark like a dog.

Hell, the Attitude era was popular around the same time trashy shock value pop culture was equally popular, like "The Jerry Springer Show" (which influenced the Attitude era), Ricki Lake and Jenny Jones were popular talk shows, Howard Stern, Tom Green, "Jackass", Marilyn Manson, "South Park" was the most popular adult cartoon on television, and Eminem was at the height of his popularity with his shock value lyrics (including rapping about explaining to his prepubescent daughter how he's gonna murder his wife and dump the body).

And...considering he's British...at the WWF's Capital Carnage in 1998, which was a PPV in his native England, Sable notoriously yanked Jacqueline's shirt off and exposed her breasts to the audience.

If my pro wrestling valet original character did exist in the Attitude era, she'd be a prime example of pop culture being vulgar during the late 90's.

We are given just one life And each day our fate is left in our hands Choosing whether to build or to destroy As the tides of time crawl across the sands

20:A song that has many meanings to you

You don’t allow me

One of my songs. I speak with my soul

Follow the stream of bloods At the end of a madness, I come back to my tragedy Held by the skin but rejected to be Like fever grows, I’m being captured by the one clear answer My final resistance, my only salvation is the death

My little dark paradise

Every drop of the blood, my crying devil is growing Watches me in the darkness, Talks about the end Gently, calmly it drives me into the darkness We shared too much darkness
