I had to say goodbye to my last grandparent tonight. She passed away in her sleep after a long struggle with dementia.

R.I.P

#hope it is not in bad faith to add a wttbp gif here #it is meant as my way of showing respect to her #also wearing complete black and my black parade jacket rn #atm i feel a bit numb but I might have a stronger reaction later #so this is your warning #if i begin to become emotional and sad and sappy #it is probably the grief finally hitting #micahs thought #personal

Got any music you listen to for any FEH characters? Be it for vibes or brain animatics?

WAH.... I'VE BEEN......... SITTING ON THIS ..... mostly cause I worry my answer might be a bit lacking 🧍

I have. A small handful of songs that make me think of Alfonse! Some are silly, some not! In no particular order:

I Earn My Life - Lemon Demon

> THIS ONE..... IS SO FUNNY TO ME...... but it is so painfully Alfonse-core........ to me. Esp lines "I learned it from my father and my father never lied" and "I wouldn't be so worried if I wasn't always right". Biting him. Killing him, even

Devil's Train - The Lab Rats

> Not a direct one-to-one (it is a specific ass situation song and I love it for that) but! This one is so Book 3 to me... if any of these are animatics in my brain material it's this one! Esp if it's following the Alfonse who would become Líf... I also think it captures the generational cycles that are present with Alfonse, Gustav, and Grampa Askr as well!

Ghost - Mystery Skulls

> Some are more Líf leaning tbh LMFAO but! Speaking of! I've mentioned it before, but Lewis was actually a huge inspiration/reference for me when learning How To Draw Líf -- sorting out how to simplify him, get him to fit more w my cartoony style, and how I want him to look body-type wise (big broad guy!)

Also the way I emphasize heart motifs on Líf is very inspired by Lewis! While also trying to simplify the shapes/taking creative liberties and running with them LMFAO

So Ghost is like. Yeah I think the lyrics can fit! But there's Deeplore here too LMFAO

Sex With A Ghost - Teddy Hyde

> This one is very just vibes/up to interpretation. It also feels like a companion to Ghost LMFAO

Cupid - Jack Strauber

> THIS ONE. IS ANOTHER SILLY ONE. BUT. Hear me out. I get such a strong mental image when I listen to it. Bruno just dumped him/ghosted him. Alfonse is face down ass up laying flat on his bedroom floor. He's been playing this song on repeat for at least an hour. Sharena tentatively checks in on him very "Are ya winning, son?" but she knows he fucking isn't. I think it also captures the feelings of heartache and regret of letting someone in and getting hurt for it. AND AND it's because of THE CIRCUMSTANCES. Lamenting The Circumstances -- "Cupid, how could you be so cruel?"

Fist Bump - Sonic Forces themesong

> SONIC THE HEDGEHOG JUMPSCARE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ It is. So fitting though. I am ALWAYS thinking of him when listening to it...........

This December - Ricky Montgomery

> This one..... is so him...... it makes me soft. If you check out any of these I def recommend this one!!! And Devil's Train, both are also just so fun to listen to in a Music That Sounds way (I like the flow!)

I could have SWORN I had more but........... I never made a complete collection...... honorable mention to The Black Parade and a handful of MCR songs tbh (This Is How I Disappear feels very distinctly Líf, I Don't Love You honestly could be either depending on the circumstances, Famous Last Words feels a little more Alfonse-leaning). I think if you introduced Alfonse to MCR it WOULD rearrange his brain chemistry, it Would be the closest thing he's had to therapy. And in addition to music I would introduce him to personally, I think The Wonder Years is another good one (but all of TWY's stuff feels so deeply personal... like diary entries and poetry.... cannot be entirely Blorboified. To me)

#ask answered! #everyone is legally obligated to be nice to me. or just give me an odd side-eye and move on LMFAO #there might be more alfonse/lif coded songs in three cheers for sweet revenge and maybe even danger days #but three cheers for sweet revenge is actually the one i've listened to the least. it's good! #'i'm not okay' being my fave from that album that one is like a brother to me #but i am SUCH a danger days bitch. that one is my fave of the three (black parade is SO GOOD TOO THOUGH) #also upsides is my fave twy album. i am switching between upsides and danger days constantly #going through hell is valid. going through hell but having some bite and fight to it is SO good #and been THROUGH hell and now you're having a good time w the sharpness you gained or maybe you're just not sad anymore. BASED!!!!!!!!! #ANYWAYS I. HOPE THIS IS SATISFACTORY 🫡 #i. don't have the strength to maintag. if this leaves my circle i'm blowing this whole building up

welcome to the bell parade

7  6 2 5  4 7 3  2 5 1  4 4 7 4  7 6 4 (when i was a young boy) 6 74 6 7 67 4 53 (my father took me into the city) 6 7 6 54 3 (to see a marching band) 4 5 7 4 764 (he said son when you grow up) 674 6 7 67 4 53 (would you be the savior of the broken) 6 7 6 54 3 (the beaten and the damned)

(notation is only somewhat reflective of timing lolz). the limited palette necessitates a bit of wrongness.. for instance the first B (third note) is supposed to be higher than the other notes but adapting to the lower B sounded better than using the only other higher note - the A7. alas, tis the nature of shits and giggles 🖤

#MCR #I stayed up until 4 AM on christmas eve (christmas day i suppose) to do this. #MUSIC IS HARD.. I AM NOT A MUSICIAN (YET?) #i bought a kalimba recently and one of the melodies i've learned is..... the opening to black parade !!! #since i realized it's a fairly simple piano melody and went O_O I Could Play That so i did. #and now here tumblr is giving me another instrument.. waow... #mods please i would pay to keep this blessed thing #or i suppose i could just. install a software which lets me program my number keys to notes. and have a more flexible range of notes.. #but that lacks the whimsy of Playing Music on Tumplr Dot Com 🌈 #So anyway i saw my chemical romance live on tour this summer owo #I GOTTA BRAG ABOUT IT HEH #THEY WERE SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #legendary show. #unforgettable. i think i almost passed out trying my god damn best to dance in the aisle #me and my buds rolled up in our best emo attire #we did make a hot topic run at a mall on the way before the show. #i also made a tractor supply run. what the hell can you wear from tsc to a concert? i will leave it to mystery. #my setlist had mama B) i would have been so sad if not. #okay now i am just reminiscing good night or not i'm gonna fiddle with a couple more tunes and try to not get absorbed. #I WANT THE BELLS UNTIL NEW YEARS AT LEAST. PLEASE #on the kalimba i like to transition from zelda's lullaby into WttBP... lullaby (or at least the part i've been playing??) ends on #the same note parade starts on. it's funny

[wasourladyofdecay]

i resent the thought that they somehow cursed themselves with tbp but that’s genuinely how they felt for more than a decade. see: everything they said about the recording process, that lost kerrang interview in 2007, conventional weapons, the mike milligram essay in 2010, the vigil essay in 2013, etc etc. make room is an especially miserable song in that context. instead of making something great and revelling in it they turned it into a prison for themselves to the point that they were unable to write about anything else and had to scrap a whole album worth of songs. it simply didn’t have to be that way

#ignore me i’m rambling #but this stays on the brain honestly #all conventional weapons songs are about their reality as a band at that time and they’re so bitter and sad #anyways🫠 #mcr #mcr return #my chemical romance #mychem #the black parade #conventional weapons #gerard way #frank iero #ray toro #mikey way

Musical Musings

Sometimes I feel like the only thing that can save my heavy dirty soul is Queen

#That's a lie obviously #tøp get on up here! #and actually a lot of bands #Did you know Queen almost performed with MJ? Freddy got creeped out by his monkey and left after 3 days though #Fr though Queen is a seriously stellar band. #My current favorite song is Jealousy but I've always loved I want to Break Free and Millionaire Waltz #But they have so many great ones. Princes of the Universe and It's a Hard life. All Dead #Anthony Vincent on YouTube did Black Parade in the style of Queen which was amazing #I love MCR but honestly my favorite song might be All I Want For Christmas XD #and Mama #Apparently Arctic Monkeys and Strokes are mutual fans of each other which is very cool #It makes me think of the movie The Night is Short Walk On Girl #where all the books are connected #It's cool thinking about musicians and how they connect to other musicians and music pieces #Even that Spanish song which ripped off Dusty Springfield's I Only Want to Be With You #Volbeat did an awesome cover of that #or Maneskin's cover of Beggin' by Franki Valli #But it makes me sad that heavy rock/punk bands don't cover more sweet and slow songs #You can't tell me Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA wouldn't sound spectacular in the style of Volbeat's I Only Want To Be With You cover

[glam-rock-boots]

to live is one hell of an act of defiance

#elio thoughts #transgender #lgbtq #transmasc #queer #kinda vent post?? #listen i am just very sad and angry #and listening to the black parade isn’t helping #but at the same time it is #i am not afraid to keep on living #so true gerard way *has tears in my eyes and is gritting my teeth to try and stop crying*

[mikeyswayy]

Literally listen to the black parade rn again and bro 26 secs into the end. Already crying

All tbp songs have made me cry, fuck every MCR song has made me cry at one point... Every song ever, even every snowflakes different (just like you)

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I love them.. MCR5 is real and they will return, I know it, don't give up hope, it's real!

I'm on dead! Now, still kinda crying

I might update this but idk, ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

#i don't know how sincere i'm going to be about that to my friends yet #so here i come to vent #i'm in japan and should be for the next 9 months #i just arrived (yesterday) in the place i'll stay for the next month #as a cleaning helper #but i feel really lonely. stupid also #because i can barely speak japanese #it's not like. a surprise #i knew before going but you're never really ready for those types of things so i decided to go anyway #but i'm pretty sure the other helper here is racist #(towards black people specifically bc he's fine talking to the japanese) #i don't really know what to do other than force myself to keep studying #(which i had planned anyway) #and try and talk to the staff and pretend the other guy isn't there #i'm just sad. i expected to feel a bit more welcome? i guess #also. you get used to it but the stares... #it's just... on top of everything it's rough #in a week or so i'll start looking for jobs for next month #and i'll ask if i can finish a day earlier to go to osaka's pride parade #then there will be the fukuoka one in november #i'll be fine #also my legs are literally bleeding because the mosquitoes here are insane #and the medecine does nothing #anyway #i WILL be fine #Roro.tg

[boowoomuu]

It's 2022, and only now I realise the black parade is about a funeral.

#i mean #is it? #my chemical romance #i may be wrong tho #mcr #the black parade #i burned the last slice of my cookie pie #it was so good but I can't eat it now ;-; #i'm sad #eu

[angstics]

the entirety of black parade is every ugly, rotten, pathetic thing you want to yell at yourself. which is one reason why it is so good to sing along to. the other reason is that it’s musically and lyrically and vocally genius.

#mcr #youre just a sad song with nothing to say after a life long wait for a hospital stay. #and if your heart stops beating ill be here wondering did you get what you deserve? the ending of your life #is it hard understanding im incomplete? a life thats so demanding i get weak #BLACK PARADE NIGHT.

[arosetolivefor]

I still can't believe that the most "me" lyrics that Florence Welch wrote is "I listen to music from 2006 and feel kind of sick" like... it's kinda magical, it's so specific

#what are the odds #it's the exact year #under the iron sea the black parade first impressions of earth back to black... alright still #and i know there's more albums #but utis is like the 1 #it doesn't even have to be the whole album just songs from that year. #wttbp and famous last words are so important to me rn #idk it just crossed my mind. i look at that year and there's so much darkness in the music lol #what was going on #maybe sadness not darkness. maybe both #been thinking about that year for... years

[biblicalhorror]

Ice Spice looks so uncomfortable in every photo/video I see of her next to Taylor someone save that poor girl from whatever contract they have her in

#it makes me so sad to watch #like. idk maybe im just being a hater but parading around this 'friendship' at award shows etc feels so phony #it does nothing to convince me taylor cares about black women #if anything it just reminds me of that time she publicly dated and aligned herself with an insufferable racist asshole #and like to be clear here i am 0% blaming ice spice for any of this #she was very clearly taken advantage of as a young artist and it sucks to see #just doesnt sit right with me

[whoareyoulookingat]

I just discovered MCR, and like, I still haven't gotten through the discography yet, but I can't get over that Teenagers sounds almost like if Brian May had an emo phase

#idk why but mcr has the queen vibe #uh #the Queen vibe not The Queen vibe #very different things #so sad i didn't find them at the tail end of my Queen phase like I should have #ik people are like 'black parade is the emo bohemian rhapsody' but like a lot of their songs have the vibe #Or #three of the five songs by them i know have the vibe #imo I'm Not Okay and Teenagers have it stronger than Black Parade but that's just me
