So now that Amphibia's ended, I wanted to make these posts with my playlists for each character. Just cause I always wanted to do this and we all need something that isn't directly related to the finale :p (and by "all" I mean me)

so. very long post.

Anne

vylet pony - we worked so hard to leave and now all i want is to go back

This is an instrumental, but it starts off the playlist because it perfectly captures the feeling in its title---in a style that to me is 1000% Amphibia vibes (or Vylet's style, if you've heard the rest of her music :p )---and I think that feeling (and title) is perfect for Anne: as she leaves the valley with the Plantars, as she comes to earth in S3a, as she decides to cut off her toxic friendship with Sasha, and as she finally leaves Amphibia in The Hardest Thing. It just makes me feel so much...

Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song

I mean...

I grew up here, 'til it all went up in flames except the notches in the door frame I don't know when you got taller

I mean...

And when I grow up, I'm gonna look up From my phone and see my life And it's gonna be just like my recurring dream

I don't know how, but I'm taller It must be something in the water Everything's growing in our garden You don't have to know that it's haunted

anyway.

Esperanza Spalding - Unconditional Love

Even just from the title and heartfelt melody, this song is completely Anne, but what made me put it in the playlist is the chorus:

We could change the whole story of love Same old play I’m getting tired of No more acting these predictable roles Just us living unconditional love

This, to me, encapsulates why Anne's Heart. She has hope for people. For her friends. She cares about them, not the material benefits of their friendship (Sasha protecting her, Marcy doing their homework, etc.). It's her plea to both of them; it's why they can grow their own lives and friend groups in the timeskip and still love each other more than anything---why they still get together for every birthday.

Esperanza Spalding - Really Very Small

Another instrumental; this is here based completely on vibes. It makes my heart ache with how beautiful it is and I feel like it communicates how Anne sees herself and what she can be and do (at least S1 Anne).

Adam Neely × Ben Levin - Truck

From their made-in-24-hours album, Beautiful And Tragic, Truck is technically about how empty the pursuit of profit is and how capitalism kills empathy (and other things you'd expect from two 30-something music teachers from Brooklyn), but apart from the fact that Anne's both brown and a biologist and therefore hates capitalism (source: me and every other non-white biologist and biology student I know), it's here mostly due to this:

Tipsy truck outline Through the dust we drive Now behind, that’s life People roam, people die...

Sour patch gas stop Filling up, getting lost Scary pump Lost some Still we ridе Still we run

It gives me S2a road trip vibes, creepy atmosphere and all, but I also see it as a metaphor for Anne's mindset leading up to True Colors, especially regarding Sasha---and her mindset at the end of that episode, with all the repressing she did about both Marcy's death and her betrayal: keep moving and then it's okay if you "lose some" (some battles, some friends, some trust). Just run.

Porter Robinson - Something Comforting

She needs a week-long hug, okay?

Also, I put this here while I was still in shock over True Colors, but already watching S3a, and seeing Anne beat herself up over trusting both Marcy and Sasha and then over not trusting them or feeling she wasn't there for them made me think of this:

'Cause getting made you want more And hoping made you hurt more Oh, there must be Something wrong with me [...] Someone tell me Something comforting

; ~ ;

Boy Harsher - Tower

Boy Harsher makes horrorcore synthwave and I love them. They also made this (which is horrorcore synthwave, and heart-squeezingly perfect for Reunion). It's in Sasha's playlist too, but it's in Anne's because of this:

And are you honest? And are you free? [...] And can I believe you? Do I even know how?

(which is like 50% of the lyrics, btw). I think it's mostly self-explanatory, especially with Anne's realization of how toxic their friendship was finally bubbling over in the duel.

Pom Pom Squad - Lux

You can take my peace Leave me rotting like the leaves But I won't ever let you say You cared about me

so.

I let myself get drunk on the idea That you loved mе 'Cause in here I'm suffocating But out thеre I feel so small What a wonder to be anything at all

uh.

When I hear your pretty words I should be listening to the sound Of my feet against the ground In the opposite direction

...how hard y'all cry after Reunion?

Billie Eilish - ilomilo

So, if any of y'all don't know (I didn't before I looked up this song to listen to when it came out), Ilomilo was a Windows Phone puzzle game about braving danger in a strange land to reunite with your friend.

The only way to lose is to stay apart.

Told you not to worry But maybe that's a lie Honey, what's your hurry? Won't you stay inside? Remember not to get too close to stars

Where did you go? I should know, but it's cold And I don't wanna be lonely So show me the way home I can't lose another life

I tried not to upset you Let you rescue me the day I met you I just wanted to protect you But now I'll never get to

King Princess - Make My Bed

Anne, in her room, after True Colors.

Eighteen years I've spent

Waiting for this

Now my mother's home

My sister sleeps

And I'm awake

Making my bed

And our hearts break

'Cause I got lost

I'm awake

Making my bed

I'm posting the lyrics here but you really need to listen to it.

Tasha - Would You Mind Please Pulling Me Close

This is my "nostalgic crying over a fictional character's memories" song for Anne. It also fits The Hardest Thing (pre-timeskip) way too well and I hate that.

Summers hardly feel like summer anymore I can't seem to lift myself up off the floor Please sing to me our old familiar tune Remind me what I've got left to come back to We've less and less and less and less to come back to I'll hold on tight to every last one of you

I'm fine today I'll be fine again I'm fine today I'll be fine again

It's not that I miss home I just miss not feeling so alone I know my aching shows Would you mind please pulling me close?

Pom Pom Squad - This Couldn't Happen

Anne's time in Amphibia is a series of parallels and recurring feelings. Twice betrayed, twice back home, twice forgiven... and well:

Again, this couldn't happen again Again, this couldn't happen again Again, this couldn't happen again

Billie Eilish - my future

But I, I'm in love (Love, love, love, love) With my future And you don't know her (Ooh) And I, I'm in love (Love, love) But not with anybody here I'll see you in a couple years

I'll be crying in the corner until you scroll down to the next one.

Childish Gambino - Stand Tall

A positive song‽ In this (unintentional) angst playlist‽

The Boonchuys make me happy and Anne's relationship with her parents is "unidentifiable squeaking noises from the back of my throat" sweet and I feel like this fits them so well...

I listened to what my father said:

Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you walk strong, you cannot fall There is a voice inside us all, so smile when you can... (when you can)

We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed But my mama said:

I can definitely imagine Bee and Oum giving Anne a collaborative speech that goes exactly like this. I have imagined it. I love them sm.

TV-MA - i want it to hurt

Despite the title, I think this song is super hopeful and it's exactly why Anne was the one person to ever use the gems for good. Why she's more of a fighter than anyone else, despite fighting being her last resort. It's compassion and self-love and the search for meaning

When my friends leave, when I have to let go, when this entire town is wiped off the map...

I want it to hurt. I want it to hurt bad. I want to hold on until I'm thrown off and everything ends

I want to hope again And I want it to hurt Because that means it meant something It means I am something pretty amazing to be something, at least…

It's also perfectly fitting for her conversation with the Calamity Deity (maybe because the lyrics come from another climactic conversation with a cat deity where a protagonist whose starting philosophy can be boiled down to "what's the point in trying"/"always take the easy out" says no to what said deity wants her to do).

half•alive - RUNAWAY (the orchestral version :p)

I swear I put this in the playlist before S3b. But. But. This is it. It's Anne's journey. It's her and what she learns and the entire point of the show and it's prolly the most hopeful and happiest song in the entire playlist but it's still the one that makes me cry the most.

From where we started and immaculate S1 Anne vibes:

I've been searching, nothing’s working I've been tripping, no one's perfect Chasing vision, just the surface Shirt’s on backwards, not on purpose

To changing and growing and becoming more completely a creature of the Heart:

Something's working, heart is turning Vision’s clearing, still I’m learning That what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am Is something more than I can plan

Go, tell me now I don't need to run away

I’ve been standing on a stage with just a mirror, forced to face who I've become Searching for a new escape, I scan the exits that embrace an easy out

To the realization:

I hold my life out in front of me, dreams of who I wanna be I'm seeing every empty page But I find that everything I am is everything I should be... and I don't need to run away

Who are you?

"I'm Anne Boonchuy."

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

#ra speaks #piracy #media piracy #pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud #obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them #this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams #edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal #edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

an ex-zionist jewish man recently went a bit viral on tiktok for sharing exactly how he sees zionism tie israel to the jewish identity and his personal experience with breaking away from it - I think it’s a really great watch.

He also made a follow up talking specifically about how he learned to humanise Palestinians, and a really integral part of it was his school, which would often bring in Palestinian speakers who’d share their perspective (here’s a link to it).

#tiktok against all odds inspires a lot of hope in me bc of how prevalent palestinian support is over there #so much of the younger generation is so media literate and articulate about standing up to oppression #and getting perspectives like this I think is really beneficial when it comes to understanding where Zionist talking points come from #I don’t particularly think right now our priority should be reaching out to zionists or anything #it should always be Palestinians at the forefront of activism our activism #but this is educational. Zionism is not Judaism and this proves that.#it’s never too late to turn away from oppressive propaganda and have empathy for your fellow man #palestine #israel #free palestine #from the river to the sea

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

#personal #dumb #my art #immediately after finishing i was pumped to watch some analysis vids on it #cuz i heard a lot of the drama about the original author being a pro military fascist and the director going “fuck that” and making a satir #scrolling through youtube search results was not promising. lots of male film buffs i would Not trust even on a first glance.#“The Critical Drinker” (pfp of a bearded man drinking alcohol) lol.#and then I saw cinemawins did a video on it and was like oh nice i haven't seen his stuff in a while but he's a pretty leftist creator #scrolled through the comments #second panel face #this sucks i'm outta here.#just leagues and leagues and leagues of anime pfps and right leaning people dogpiling on him for “not understanding what fascism is”#idk it's pretty alien and weird to me watching this movie and going “wow yeah that was pretty obvious huh” like literally the from opening #to the teacher preaching militance and only giving voting rights to “those who serve their nation first and earn it”#and then seeing droves of people online going #WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? It's not anti-fascist and even if it was it's #the director's fault for desecrating heinlein's incredible sci-fi epic vision. ermm media literacy is dead.

@ younger creepypasta fans, don't be worried about sharing what you make for the fear of people finding issue with it for existing. We like your art for what it is, and encourage you to keep making it, because that's what the core of being an artist is. The ability to write, draw, create, whatever it is that drives you, and literally nobody ever can take that away from you. Those kids with the shitty stories and self inserts built a fandom from the ground up, wrote and drew their characters just because they wanted to. If you don't care for it, make your own art, or move elsewhere.

The quote in anton's original post is incomplete, so here’s a better one— "find what you love, and let it kill you."

sometimes i do not want to consume a media and justify my liking it by making it known that im aware of it's faults and loving it despite, sometimes i just want to love things wholly and unapologetically because it made me feel something and even if it was a little fucked up it did nothing to reduce the amount of love i held for it

im aware it's not perfect, but let me love it like it is, if only because it makes me happy

#vu talks shit #i sit atop a throne of cringe medias i love #and sometimes i just get tired of starting every conversation about these things with #'now im aware it's not perfect BUT'#im aware of the faults already but if you ask me about my interests im not here to talk about the bad parts of them #i want to talk about the parts that made me love them dearly augh #this is way too mushy for 3 in the afternoon

Been watching that new Hazbin Hotel show as it's coming out (🏴‍☠️) and I'm pretty disappointed with it. I'm not super familiar with the Everything about it, but I remember watching the pilot way back when and liking the premise.

I hadnt kept up with it after the pilot because I wanted to see it with fresh eyes. Now that the show is coming out, somehow I feel like an outsider watching it lol. It presents a lot of concepts, but it just assumes the watcher is already familiar with the characters, and it makes the pacing reeeeally odd. It's all payoff, no buildup (unless you count the years fans had to wait for it as 'build up'). I feel like I REALLY need to look for supplementary material to understand what's going on,, like.... why was there a whole emotional power ballad for a character who was only introduced 10 minutes prior?? Was I supposed to know who she was?😭 (her heels were cool though)

Tonally it's strange, too. It feels like an adult show written for teenagers a lot of the time, which is the BIGGEST disappointment. I was really hoping for more thoughtful explorations of the characters, but we really only get that for Angel Dust and like .... no one else lol. (Sir Pentious is the 👏FUCKING👏BEST👏)

Charlie and Vaggie feel ESPECIALLY underbaked. Considering how overtly sexual the show is, it's SHOCKING how little chemistry they have. Like, it's not there at all. I watched the show with a friend who had no knowledge about Hazbin Hotel whatsoever, and during episode 4, she asked me,"So why is Vaggie helping here?" which I feel is the best example I can give for how poorly developed their relationship is.

I like the music. The song transitions are usually really jarring (Respectless and Hell's Greatest Dad come to mind) but the songs themselves are usually bangers. I'm a big fan of Loser, Baby.

The designs are ..... not for me. But that's not necessarily a criticism. A lot of the character designs feel very dated, but I respect them for sticking so hard to the aesthetic they present, even if its not for me. I wish there was more outfit and body type variety in the characters, but literally EVERYONE says that, so I'll just leave that there lol.

Overall I think this show is a shining example of why """"filler"""" episodes are so important. If this were a 12 or even 24 episode season I think it'd be way better, but as it is, they're trying to cram like 15 different character arcs + a dramatic overarching story into 8 episodes, and it's really REALLY suffering for it.

#please dont read this as a hate post please dont read this as a hate post please dont read this as a hate post #ive just been watching it and its stuck with me but in a disappointing way #i cant say i like it. but its interesting to pick apart #for every element i really enjoy theres two that i really dislike. strange viewing experience #thats all. thanks for coming to my annual Syrup Watches A Weird Piece Of Media And Talks About It For Tooooo Long tedtalk #not art

“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”

Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.

His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.

Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

#perfect stories about perfect people who never do anything wrong are usually boring #stories about growth and mistakes and redemption and forgiveness and progress are lit #bkdk #bakudeku #the quote is from cinema therapy on YouTube btw #love them so much #they look at media and talk about what is and isn’t good from a real life human perspective #and boy did this quote slap me in the face #anyway this is my thought literally any time anyone says something about shipping Izuku with his abuser #if he was still being abused then I get it #but he’s not #and saying he needs protection from Katsuki is honestly doing his character dirty #and this is not to say that every situation with an abuser and a victim should turn out romantic #obviously not #the world is not black and white and neither are people #sometimes you have to get yourself out and never look back and that is valid and healthy #but sometimes you’re talking about two boys in a manga who literally cannot stop thinking about how good and incredible the other is #bro I get it #surface level chapter/episode 1 Katsuki is literally the worst #but his glow up has been literally meteoric

Something I’ve seen a bit of variation on and was wondering about..

I know that some of these answers are kind of undefined but choose what best suits you!

#Sophia is speaking #personally I have one close irl friend who follows me on here #I have a friend who has a tumblr and we talk about tumblr stuff frequently but it has never ever come up to exchange urls #that’s just not that way it works for us. tumblr feels so private in a way no other social media does by default

Second character playlist!

Come get y'all's Marcy Music.

Marcy

Adam Neely × Ben Levin - ELLEN / OPRAH

We start with weirdly vibing pathos (this is recurring in most of my character playlists lol).

I feel like this song is perfect for that feeling of half-dissociated floating through life feeling and perpetual social outsider status that seems to have been all Marcy all the time pre-Amphibia.

Escaping to as many brightly-colored worlds as she can, watching everything as if through a screen:

I zoom further lost in glowing geometry Ellen in the nightmare, Oprah on the screen Watching people live takes the life out of me Waiting for the light at the edges of my dream to die like an old whale lying on a beach

Can you tell this playlist started around True Colors?

Janelle Monaé - Dance Or Die / Faster

I always feel weird about putting songs in a character playlist when they're from a musical or concept album cause. y'know. they've already got characters and a story attached.

None of that matters cause this 2-part song is more Marcy than ArchAndroid to me (sorry Janelle).

First we have this in the intro:

Oh these dreams are forever If you leave, now or never

and I just can't help but think of Marcy alone, in a library, reading about this last resort that'll let her cling to her dreams and live them out, let her leave, but not the way she was supposed to.

And then:

Telling lies and telling lies will put your face on fire Run and tell your friends to never dream, never win

and

Rising and a waking, yes sir here comes the sun March into the war and with the kick of the drum

Breathe, live, help, give Focus, trance, wake up, dance!

You see the daylight comes into the kingdom But the kingdom's full of ignorant men Just keep rebelling away, you gotta dream it away

it covers everything, from Marcy's time as a ranger to her regret to the lies she tells herself intentionally, to Darcy and IDK it just gets to me. Especially with the frantic pace. I can feel the restlessness of an entire society resting on your shoulders and your own mistakes breathing down your neck but you can't stop and if you don't stop it's all fun.

How Marcy thinks the Newtopians see her, and how she sees herself in this reality where Amphibia is fantasy wish fulfillment: the main character - the Chosen One:

A long long way to find the one We'll keep on dancing till she comes These dreams are forever Oh these dreams are forever (Forever, forever, forever, forever) And if you wanna wake the sun Just keep on marching to the drums These dreams are forever Oh these dreams are forever

And finally, even tho it's in the middle of the song, how I think she might see Andrias at the very end:

I'm praying for the man sitting without much time May he understand the clock will never rewind [...] Hate no more, said he must hate no more

half•alive - arrow

Life begins to happen when I plan something else Trying to be somebody, but all I got was someone else

a lot of someones, actually. i'm so sorry

But more seriously, I feel like this applies to Marcy even without The Core. Life keeps happening at her, both on Earth and in Amphibia, and no matter how much she plans, there's no guarantee the other people involved want the same things as her, and when she tries to escape, she does it by becoming someone else, whether it's through games or just straight up transforming herself into who she thought Andrias expected and/or Newtopia needed.

The hardest place to be Is right where you are In the space between The finish and the start It's the arrow in your heart

The arrow was meant to be meataphorical but now I can only think about the terrible imagery pun with. y'know.

anyway

IVY SOLE. - Storm

This was the first song I put on here after Olivia and Yunan, and it shows. But it's also just. All of it. It's very Marcy-on-the-chair 5 minutes after the episode ends:

I got swept up in the ocean Undercurrent held my feet Ain’t no air for me to breath down here Only salt and the fear from the deep And now I've only got two options Grow some gills or fight the waves I don’t want no one to save me from myself I know that it’s my storm to tame

also guilt. Lots of guilt.

Til the surface comes in reach Til the dark don’t feel too much like home Til the sand run through my fingers Til my heart and mind feel like my own Til the sky don’t seem so far, far away

Hozier - In A Week

It's there. I can't really explain why with canon examples. I just HC that Marcy dealt with her guilt (especially over Anne's parents worrying that they were dead) by basically thinking exactly what this song says, first drenched in sadness ("we'll never be found and it'll hurt them so much") and then with the same sweetness and longing as the actual song, turning it into something positive: "we'll never be found. We can reinvent ourselves and turn this into home, with each other."

Billie Eilish - everything i wanted

Listen when I saw this in the storyboarders' playlist for Marcy I s c r e a m e d. But. It's so perfect. Every single line. Go listen to it.

Lenty Av - Marcy's Truth

[heart-rending instrumental remix of Marcy's Theme]

Death Note The Musical - Mortals & Fools

This is here entirely because @/cutetanuki-chan made an annearcy comic set to this where Darcy tries to convince Anne that Marcy is now beyond both love and salvation and I can't hear this anymore without imagining it as an internal conversation between Marcy and The Core.

Oh Geeez - Awakening

This is one of the best Amphibia fan songs I've heard and all of the lyrics are both amazing and depressing, but this is what made me immediately download the song (and put it in this playlist) after I first heard it:

Lately my head’s on fire and my voice is not my own...

So if this is the last time that I’m in my mind I need you to know That I only wanted to keep you close These days have been so dark and quiet and cold And I’m longing for somebody to hold The walls are closing in, and I’ve been run clean through So if this is the last time, then until the next life I’ll dream of you

vylet pony - object permanence (home videos and other snapshots related and otherwise)

everything I know just keeps slipping from my object permanence when I try to imagine home

Ray Chen ft. Sting - What Could've Been

I love Arcane so much my brain splits in two in order to contain the fact that this song is both about Jinx blaming Vi for leaving her and Marcy resenting Andrias.

lollaby - seams

Go listen to lollaby now. This is a fan song so it's literally made to fit Marcy exactly but I genuinely think it's right beside scars (also by lollaby :p ) as the best Amphibia fan song ever. I'm not even exaggerating; I'm underselling how great this song is. Especially these lines:

three stars burning bright come from beyond to expel the night three stars fall apart forever scarred they were doomed from the start and it's all my fault now i stand alone you two look happy on your own i am you and you are me our fates determined by that goddamn prophecy so let us make a toast to the parasite's host to the minds pulling the strings and to the glory of the ruined king

and:

maybe it's better to be left behind maybe it's time i said goodbye to these childhood friends of mine

(yes i know i just posted like 80% of the lyrics, but the way this incorporates lines from the show as parallels is just aaaaaaaaaaa)

lost memory machine - 地下涛声

Marcy on the castle balcony, as this fantasy of a reality washes over her.

The sound of underground waves She closed her eyes tightly the Gold Coast in the distance lonely city walls cutting through the forest It all comes from what she's read Deep blue early morning sky lifts the curtain off the day

Marcy, as she floats in a tank away from all light.

It can't compare To what she had But it's all lost now Keep getting more To lose it all

*this is all (maybe badly) translated from Cantonese by me.

Phoebe Bridgers - Chinese Satellite

This is in Anne's playlist too, but it fits Marcy better. I see it as her coming to terms with moving away, after everything, even if some part of her would rather stay.

lollaby - scars

The "canon" playlist ends at Chinese Satellite, but this is just... too amazing to leave off. The alternate ending that this paints (heavily leaning on when we thought they would all get much worse scarring) is incredibly sad but terribly hopeful. It breaks my heart just to put it back together.

Please listen to lollaby :p

#i don't even know why i'm doing these lmao #i don't really like how the painting for this one turned out compared to the anne one but #amphibia #art #fanart #marcy wu #me talking about media #the core #darcy wu #analysis #?#music #playlist #music recommendation #artists on tumblr
