#this song is so emo guys

[jacarandaaaas]

why waiting on a miracle is one of my favorite (and one of the most underrated) encanto songs:

So this song in my humble opinion is one of the most under appreciated songs from the movie so I’m here to give it some appreciation! (Also the irony of the song being about being ignored and overlooked and that’s exactly what happened)

So waiting on a miracle is the classic “disney I want song” but to me this song is so much more than that. One thing that sticks out to me immediately is the fact unlike most I want songs, mirabel isn’t singing about wanting more than she already has shes singing about something she lacks but SHOULD have already. From the title most people gathered that she wants a magical gift like the rest of her family and whilst that is true I find it profound that it’s not the magic for the sake of magic she wants. It’s the appreciation from her family. All she wants is to contribute and fit in and she feels the only way she can do that is if she gets a gift. It’s also important to note unlike most I want songs mirabel doesn’t get *exactly* what she wants at the end which she mentions is a miracle. She does however end up getting her ultimate goal which is the acceptance and she doesn’t need a miracle to do that. Also with the title being “waiting on a miracle” a miracle is rare it’s thought to be something almost impossible or not even real. So for mirabels I want song to be about this shows that even she herself is aware it’s literally an impossible ask but she’s just dreaming of the possibilities if she got something as rare as a miracle.

I also found the instrumental quite genius as some have already pointed out all the madrigal songs are in 4/4 time… except this one. Waiting on a miracle is in 3/4 time as yet another subtle way to show she’s out of place. as lin manuel himself said “she’s literally out of beat with the rest of her family” so thanks for that lin the song was already sad enough but you just had to do that👍

also congratulations to mirabel for being one of the few disney characters to actually say when they aren’t ok “I’m not fineeee” I know that seems minuscule but it’s so refreshing to hear a character actually express that they are feeling negative emotions and it’s ok to express that. Especially since bottling up emotions is so common nowadays it’s a good message for the next generation <3

also waiting on a miracle kinda sorta predicts the whole movie? “I would move the mountains, make new trees and flowers grow” “I would heal whats broken show this family something new” she ended up achieving all of that in the movie’ 1. The mountains split when the house was collapsing. 2. She helped isabela discover what else she could do thus making new trees and flowers grow. 3. She basically healed the entire family which is what was broken and she showed them all they are enough without gifts! So that’s just a nice little bit of foreshadowing.

Ok now back to the sad stuff! in the lyric “I would heal whats broken” turns out she’s not referring to the entire family but herself. She views herself as broken because she didn’t get a gift and she wants to fix herself 💔 another lyric to note is “cant keep down the unspoken invisible pain” a lot of people talk about how inconsiderate the madrigals are towards mirabel but the thing is they don’t realize how it effects her. We know she can put on a hell of an act (see family madrigal song) and she herself refers to her pain as “invisible” she’s hiding it from everyone so they don’t realize how badly she’s hurting because she puts on the whole optimistic act. So another way the movie demonstrates the communication issues within the family.

And how can I forget mirabel literally telling herself at the beginning “dont be upset or mad at all” she’s quite literally telling herself to not feel those things that she’s “totally fine” I also love the fact the music is in the tune of “the family madrigal” up until she says “I’m not fine” I just thought that was a cool detail!

I’ve seen people complain about “open your eyes” x3 because it doesn’t get any louder or higher it just stays the same. Well there’s actually a reason for that! the song is called waiting on a miracle, mirabel is stuck in that position. She’s stuck waiting. It’s also important to note that the visual of her begging to her abuela to “open her eyes” and not being noticed implies that she’s been trying for a long time to be noticed but she keeps being stuck.

Also shoutout to Stephanie beatriz for the amazing acting because I could FEEL the emotion and the passion. and yes I know it’s because she’s in labour but I also believe even if she wasn’t in labour the song would still sound emotional as stephanie is a really great actress! I believe in an interview she stated she wanted to perform this song like it’s the first time mirabel is expressing these feelings to herself. Basically yeah that’s true she had been lying to herself for a decade and finally she decides to admit to herself she’s not fine she’s not happy and she wants a change. The voice crack on “I’m not fine” is actually heartbreaking and this is the moment her facade breaks entirely, and I love the vocal cry she does on “longing to shine like all of you shine” it’s just these little vocal details that add so much to the song and make it so powerful

I’ve also seen people complaining this song isn’t “belty” enough but it’s just not that type of song! mirabel is stuck in her position and if you notice in a lot of Disney movies once it reaches the climax of the i want song the protagonist comes to a decision of sorts. Take “how far I’ll go for example” she decides she’s going to sail beyond the reef and the music climaxes, she also has the triumphant high note at the end. Waiting on a miracle unlike how far I’ll go is NOT a triumphant song. The music does climax but only to emphasize mirabels false hope as she’s saying all the things she would do.

with the high note I firmly believe that there’s only one significant high note at the end for a particular reason. Like I said above usually high notes in Disney songs symbolize achievement or a sense of strength found. Mirabels high note has the opposite effect. She’s quite literally begging for a miracle in desperation only to realize she’s wishing for a fantasy. “Am I too late for a miracle” is the line the song ends on and the visual is important here too. We see the fireworks fade away and mirabel is left standing alone in the dark because it was all in her mind. (Looking at you “mirabels gift is time stopping” theorists)

So yeah I find this song to be quite unique and raw for an I want song and I think the “vent” aspect of it is what makes me appreciate it even more. It’s not sugar coated. To quote stephanie beatriz herself: “real, human, imperfect, yearning to belong and hoping for something beyond what she sees in herself: an expression of hope and fear, all wrapped in teen angst.”

So uh go stream waiting on a miracle because it’s a great song 👍(also yes this rant is a mess I’m terrible at articulating my feelings on songs but it’s also just for fun I’m like not a professional lmao)

EC AU WRITERS DUMP PART 2

what time is it this time…. NEVERMIND THE TIME i’m crying over papyrus and this au again. leave it the mitski to make me cry and imagine the way papyrus must feel to “wake up” in a new timeline after a reset, as if the one before never happened and he has to act like it never happened. he can’t keep the charade up forever, there’s gonna be a slip…somewhere. but the main thing i was thinking about how he has to keep a facade that everything is fine. but then he takes a moment and look at himself and realize…he already does that doesn’t he. he has to keep up an image that he’s okay, that he’s great…and truthfully, this image he’s built was more for himself. false confidence? no he loved himself!! he just…wished others loved him too. and it just spirals from there!! it happens a lot in the au. the resets have opened his mind to a lot of things about himself that he…would have rather have kept buried!! deep, deep in his chest that he’s locked away that’s full of secrets and thoughts and feelings that aren’t important, that shouldn’t be seen. that he doesn’t want to look at or deal with because it’s not pretty it’s not “him”. that image he built. he’s so complicated yet so easily understandable BECAUSE ME TOO MAN I know what it’s like. damn before it gets personal (than this au already had been) i really want people to know i care heavily about the way i write papyrus to be someone who struggles with issues, real issues that can be easily over looked by his cheery and goofy personality!! the guy can definitely get depressed..and this au is giving him room to do that!! to just sit with his thoughts and feelings ya know. aaa this ain’t making much sense but whatever. this all started causing i was laying in bed listening to last words of a shooting star then immediately pictured papyrus laying in his bed staring at the ceiling remembering simpler times in his life, a time where he didn’t have to acknowledge what was really going on URGH

#EC AU writers dump #he makes me so emo #existential crisis au #ec!papyrus #LIKE NOW IM THINKING ABOUT HOW HE GETS MORE EMOTIONAL AFTER RESETS CAUSE EVERYONE IS JUST UNAWARE AND HE KNOWS.. #ururug urgugghhhh #the somberness of the song man #like i wish i had the words truly emphasis the thoughts i have so you guys can feel what i feel #OR WHAT PAPYRUS FEELS #falls over #long post

[sooouth]

GROWLING. SOBS #geto literally changed his mind though (thanks kenjaku) #the animatic ideas are swirling in my brain like toilet when i flush the black and white beta fish #BECAUSE THEY'RE BBOTH FUCKING DEAD #jjk #banging my head on the wall please help me save me from this torture. I didn't know gays could hurt me so much. they're tearing me apart #like that one emo werewolf picture that's a meme. that's me but with satosugu atm guys. i'm so sorry for the tag rants. it's like a pigsty #if you follow me i need you to know that i'm not okay and you should stop that immediately because i'm swirling into the abyss #i'm like a melting ice cream from the ice cream truck that they hand you and it gets all over your hands and drips onto the ground #leaving a trail of ice cream drops behind you as you walk away; the music of the truck fading into the distance as your realise #this ice cream SUCKS. #i'm so sorry #south talks too much #irls if you see this i need you to slap me the next time you see me and i'm dead serious.

Guess my childhood is over

One day I'll be buying posters for my kids

Just like my parents did for me, it's never over

They'll grow up and soon enough

They'll wish that time would just move slower

I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Duckdown is officially TimberClan’s steward! The path that led him here was a long one, and it definitely wasn’t easy… But he’s made peace with that. He’s learned that he can’t always take the easy way out. He’s learned that dreams don’t come true by wishing for them, but by working for them. And he’s ready, now, to put in the work to fulfill his dream of helping as many cats as he can.

Duckdown tries to restore peace to Milton in @forgotten-elegy

#those are lavender buds and mint leaves in his coat <3 #he said ‘these are the herbs we put on cats who pass away as i’m gonna wear them every day to feel close to those who are gone’ #not in those words but That’s The Intent #anyway mullet boy here was the first kit i ever got in a wcrp and the first kit i’ve played all the way to adulthood #so basically i’m emo over him!!!! my little guy!!!! i remember when he was born. i remember when he didn’t even know words #and now he’s graduated from medical school. what’s up with that #i like this song for him because it really captures the nostalgic vibes of #understanding that you’re getting older and accepting it but still missing your younger days #anyway. time for normal tags #warrior cats #warriors oc #wcrp #warriors #warriors rp #forgotten elegy #wcrp oc #my ocs #iridescentruby #my art #duckdown

check the image ID on this page for a list of what those flags are and who made them!

check out its playlist if u want... its my personal favorite ^u^

#psy comic #jett ash blood shadow #my art #cats ocs #i love the character playlists because they are so revealing #especially melodys because she doesnt reveal a lot about herself for a long time but her playlist sure does #jetts is just. what you would expect from a guy that looks like this i think LMAO #emo music. emo music and then imposter syndrome by sidney gish lollll #anyways sorry how evident it is that it is our favorite character. it will continue to be very evident. #genuinely the playlists r like... an arg element almost sdkfljsd #u could potentially predict future storylines by looking at some of the songs #but also some of the songs r on there just cause the character likes the song and not necessarily bc they are about the character

#my art #when I was a wee goober and I was emo because my parents were freshly divorced and my mom was dating this guy who cartoonishly sucked #I developed this weird nonsensical anxiety that made me easily paranoid and I was afraid of sleeping in my own room at night #so I always slept on the floor in the corner of my brothers room in a sleeping bag #I did that for like a year LOL #anyway I accidentally just listened to a song that reminded me vividly of that #time period

[decemberhigherpower]

hiii scott hiii!!! i'm here to ask about the qualms e.p. ^_^

as promised, an itemized review:

track 1 - swing low

the vocals are so feaking good on this track... the instrumental is so pretty and i can see myself listening to this in the wee hours of the morning & feeling extremely sorry for myself. a well made little emo song. when the instruments come in proper its so good plus the vocal melody (?) is so freaking catchy

track 2 - real low

the riff is so pretty..!! in love with that riff honestly. so good. also i love the way swing low transitions to real low.. so cool. breakdown goes so hard cant wait to see this one live. i am a big fan of the way he says real low. well constructed. solo is so awesome i love it so so much.

track 3 - old haunts

again beautiful riff and beautiful vocals and they work so well together here... such a pretty song. the drums compliment the riff so beautifully as well. the solo is so awesome on this track also, no surprise there. the vocal melody is so so good and so catchy and so pretty and every other positive adjective out there. the abrupt ending works so well

track 4 - burnt

so freaking good... my favourite off the e.p. for sure.. hits so hard and is just so catchy. the screaming is so good and the last part.. "everything i think about sound like something that sounds like blah blah blah" guttural groaning its so fucking good. so fire.

track 5 - 'topes lose

(as with many tracks of theirs i am going to ignore that the title is a simpsons reference) the lyrics are so awesome in this one. also the guitars compliment the vocals absolutely beautifully in this one also. "oooh im gonna die" ... gosh. it's almost cathartic just listening to it. the mixing of the vocals in the bridge is so nice.

#first 3 tracks qualms are in their emo bag and i support them 100%... love these guys #the songs also all work well together. banger e.p. #everything is beautifully mixed as always #also not to mention the e.p. cover... SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!! SO COOL!!!i love the cover so much #could be more orange though... #these fellers are such talented songwriters honestly #also yes in this post i did pretend i do not know the vocalist's name. i need to keep some of my dignity

Hi! Kinda a random question but are there any songs that you associate with miraculous ladybug? ♡

if you're wondering why i took a while to answer this ask, it is simply because i made a playlist. introducing bien joué, my official general lovesquare playlist

i also have these playlists for specific ml fics:

metamorphosis (for my fic of the same name)

burgundy near black lipstick (for my fic burgundy, near black)

ladyluck fm (for my fic the new wave)

all the colors and completeness (for my fic those benevolent stars)

thank you for asking!!<3

#anon #ask #music #miraculous ladybug #i know there's a lot of waterparks on the bien joue playlist. you don't have to tell me. i know #it's just that waterparks writes songs that are so adrien agreste i don't know what else to say #also so many of the songs on bien joue i pulled from anna and i's music discord channel sknfknddskdnks #anywhere there's always this huge paradox when it comes to people asking about my music taste #the paradox is that i think my music taste is fucking awesome and perfect except also it is embarrassing #what's it like for you guys to know that i listen to whiny emo male manipulator music while writing soft works of fanfiction #i mean certainly i listen to much more than male manipulator music but still. i know that's what it seems like #anyway let this be a lesson learned. no one ask me about music because i am annoying in a very distinct way about it
