Inny rewatches JATP 4-6
Episode 4:
-Okay so this school has: a swim team (mentioned at the rally) and lacrosse team, cheerleaders, special FURRY cheerleaders, and a marching band. Dances in the middle of the week. Who the fuck is funding this school?
-I've decided I'm going full rarepair and I ship Nick with That Poor Boy Whose Sticks Julie Steals.
-When the boys write Hello Bobby on the mirror, the y has the little Sunset Curve swoop.
Episode 5:
-Willie enjoying the show while also saying hi to all his ghost club coworker pals never stops being good.
-Having fun going through the parts I've matched a million times and noticing all the little details. Did you know the bottoms of Caleb's shoes are shiny purple? I can just see him at his desk with a bottle of shimmering nail polish.
-Also spotted some some ladies dancing together. Dante and Fuego have competition. Let's go lesbians!
-The tiniest little nod when Alex asks Caleb to let Willie know he was looking for him and you're like: GAY ACCEPTANCE. HE'S BEEN WHERE YOU ARE. MY FEELS.... and then like 5 seconds later you're reminded Caleb is still a soulstealing evil bastard.
Episode 6:
-Still not over who the hell planned a dance on a school night. Julie missed THREE CLASSES? And then all those people going to Carrie's after party... I'm sure she wasn't the only one who overslept.
-Luke and his sadness flannel and the chocolate cake and I'm not crying my eyes are just sweating.
-Ray you know I love you but babe what is that hat. Please, sir. No.
-Also it is my personal belief that Ray went to Eats and Beats to see Carrie because he knows her fucking dad won't and even though she and Julie aren't friends anymore he wants there to be an adult who supports her.

I completed the set! There were many times I didn't think I'd manage it, ideas were elusive and time for creativity felt non existent, but I got there.
A special thank you to highlynerdy for making these gorgeous badges <3
A huge thank you to all of the guardianbingo mods for organising this whole event, it's been a really fun challenge to take part in but also just really lovely to see all the different types of creations fellow participants have made. The creativity in fandom never ceases to amaze me. <3
There's just under one month left for people to complete their fills/cards and I am cheering everyone on!
Thank you to mid-n0vember and ascel for letting me bounce ideas around with you (or straight up providing inspiration), I couldn't have done it without you guys. The encouragement is so very appreciated. And thank you to mumble for listening to me complain when things got particularly bad and for talking some sense into me (and apologies for being so whiny).

Musical tag game. Rules: shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and list the first ten songs, then tag some people.
Full disclosure, these are all from my You Are The One Thing In My Way playlist, which has a 100 songs only limit (one in, one out) and I listened to so much when I was working that we are currently On A Break because my Spotify Unwrapped for 2+ years was just this playlist in a different order, and because I couldn't pick a song I was tired of to keep it at 100. So, we're a little old, don't think there's anything newly added on it from the last year, lollllll. They've all got a 'sing along while remote working' vibe. I'll link them at the end.
Nice To Meet You - Niall Horan - not my favourite Niall song but a singalong banger on this particular playlist, good opener for this list
Marchin' On - OneRepublic - this was the soundtrack to a fanvid a million years ago, and as such, imprinted upon my soul attached to very specific fandom clips. Absolutely not the only fanvid soundtrack on this playlist.
Night Changes - One Direction - like, this is a VERY SPECIFIC kind of One Direction singalong song. I'd say you have to be in a particular mood but I listened to bits of this playlist nearly every day for years so that particular mood was very much my life, WHAT DOES THAT SAY, let's not think about it too hard
Vossi Bop - Stormzy - Fuck the government and fuck Boris (YEAH).
Dynamite - Taio Cruz - I DARE you not to sing along, imagine managing a database with this on the go (I can't not imagine it, it's indelibly linked in my brain, this is why me and this playlist are On A Break)
Take Me To Church - Hozier - are you having a bad day? Are you having a GOOD DAY? (I am the first one today) Anyway it DOES NOT MATTER, belt out this chorus, things will be IMMEDIATELY BETTER (i'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife)
Wake Me Up - Avicii - look, I keep a work notebook and every day I write the song I'm listening to as I'm building my work to-do list, and this has been on that list so many times, it's seen me through more than I care to mention
Girl From Mars - Ash - this was my favourite song aged 14, and I kind of think that any song that is your favourite song aged 14 is part of the foundational building blocks of your life and that's how these things go. I still have a friend who texts me every time she hears it because it reminds her of me.
Nobody To Love - Sigma - this reminds me of Nick Grimshaw and the Breakfast Show. It's also on my I Had Rather Hear My Dog Bark At A Crow writing playlist so quite frankly I've listened to it a MILLION times. Also, I had a total mental block on the end of the quote (love you, brain fog, bestest pal) so I just googled it, and it's fucking SHAKESPEARE, and on the front page of google next to this Shakespeare quote is the fanlore page for MY FIC. It used to be the actual fic so this is better, but, like, soz students studying Much Ado About Nothing, here's a second foundational text, how do you feel about watersports as a topic
Closer - Tegan and Sara - SPEAKING OF FIC. Two things, this is the second fanvid soundtrack song on this list, this being a Nick/Harry fanvid from about... 2013 and it is FOUNDATIONAL to my being. Also this (and a line from it) is the title of the fic I'm currently writing so we're transcending fandoms with this one, baby. HERE COME THE DREAMS OF YOU AND ME.
BONUS TRACK: Parce Mihi Domine, which is a classical track I heard on the radio one night when I couldn't sleep and had SUCH a huge fucking visceral reaction to because I KNEW it accompanied a scene on TV that I'd seen once, but had absolutely ZERO idea what it was. I had to find the PLAYLIST for the radio station, and figure out what the song was by listening to everything from the time it went out to figure out what it was, and then I had to google the piece to find out what it was used as a soundtrack for, and it TURNS OUT it's the end of series one of Queer as Folk US, for that whole bit after Justin is hurt and Brian is in the hospital wearing that fucking blood-covered scarf and fucking CRYING so yes, let's close with THAT FUCKER.
All these 10 (11) songs are on this playlist btw. Oh good, now it's skipped to Fireproof, a song I love so much I have it tattooed, this is fine, let's move on
Tagging @junkshop-disco (because their playlists are always the best), @stolemyhheart, and @imaginarygiraffe

Matt on his lyricism being both personal and political
"On this song [Reapers], it's just a straight up analogy; I'm using real-life military drones, these remote controlled killing things, killing machines, to kind of represent these forces that could obviously target us all for nefarious purposes and stuff, and uh, yeah, it's pretty dark lyrically.
I threw the word "babe" in, to throw everyone off, because then that way you can sort of, almost make it be a metaphorical relationship song as well, you know?
So I like the songs to have different layers to them: both the personal but also this sort of political element to them, and trying to get both those themes to go throughout all the songs [on Drones] was one of the things I was trying to get happening. So that's why you may hear the odd word "babe" appearing every now and again, like what does that mean? That's the sort of personal side to the album, I guess."
This is quite fascinating to me, Matt talks a bit about the versatility of Muse's songs, not wanting to tie them down to just being purely political songs, but also once again, being a metaphorical abusive/controlling/trapped relationship dynamic thing, which is lyrically, a mark of some of Muse's best overall songs. Interesting.
Later while talking about The Handler, Matt also says that he deliberately kept it quite ambiguous what "dark forces" the protagonist recognises is controlling their life and begins to resist: "dark forces— in real life, in their head, or wherever you want it to be: I've tried to keep the album a little bit ambiguous so it's not completely in the military world, the fantasy world or the psychology world".
Which again brings me back to why Muse connect so strongly with so many people across the world: hey really just make songs that you can make your own, and in some ways by not dictating the details of your struggles, feelings and situations, Muse really are more personal in their writing to fans. You might ask, how on earth do you have millions of people connecting to a non-specific, even clichéd call-to-arms?Ask any of the millions of people that have been deeply touched and given strength by a Muse song!

Just coming here to say that we really haven’t gotten this type of video from dan in quite awhile. I mean yes we get dd now, but that is pretty scripted and views as what Dan wants it to view as. A post burnout YouTuber ‘daily’ talk shows series. And the other videos we got outside of dd, were all pretty major announcements or “bombs” dropped out of no where (BIG and WIQY). We honestly haven’t gotten such a nostalgic, traditional “youtube” video on his channel since 2018ish. I don’t know, it just makes me kinda emotional to think about it. I really love what Dan makes now, content wise. However I do miss the old format of him sitting in front of a camera casually being silly, sarcastic and sometimes genuine. Just telling stories or talking about his life. I also unsubscribe that it’s gonna probably be quite awhile till we get this format of video from him again. Anyways I’m just trying to say I’m holding this video close to my heart. It’s so very special to me.
yeah it was well and truly the first dinof style video since ttlmt! old school vibes (and yelling) and there is something nostalgic about it

ok i love the jonas brothers' 'waffle house' song. it's a bop and it speaks to a very specific part of my soul. however. i do really feel the need to clarify, for everyone who's not from the southeastern united states, so that y'all understand the vibes of the song properly
do you see this image?
Tumblr media
this is not what the inside of a waffle house looks like.
to be clear, i'm not disparaging whoever designed this set, because they were very successful in their goal of making a classy hometown restaurant.
it's just that unfortunately their goal of "classy hometown restaurant" vibes is inherently at odds with "waffle house" vibes.
the exposed wooden beams on the ceiling? the non-orb-shaped pendant lights? the fancy, mahogany-looking counter? the spaciousness of the main seating area? the booths with full padding? the thin, breakable porcelain mug? the freaking fancy stone masonry on the far right? no. nonono. that's not a waffle house.
let me describe to you a waffle house.
do you remember what mcdonalds and burger king were like in the mid-90s? take that. line everything (everything) with tiles. make it a breakfast place. and then put a big diner counter in the center, and then put the grill, the chefs, and all of the other cooking-related things right behind the diner counter, so that the divide between the food-cooking space and where you sit is purely psychological and is maintained more by social convention than by anything else
and then throw a healthy layer of grease over all of that, and then go there at like two in the morning.
you slide into a booth. it's made almost entirely of hard plastic, with maybe a little pillow-shaped rectangle of padding if you're lucky. the waitress comes over and, standing in the liminal space between "kitchen" and "customer seating", reaches out and hands you a laminated menu over the divider. this menu is exactly the same as it was the first time you came here two decades ago.
the waitress puts in your order, and then you watch as the chef dumps grated potatoes and eggs and bacon out onto the flat surface of the grill. they sizzle. the waitress serves you a fresh mug of coffee in a nigh-indestructible ceramic diner mug. when your food comes, it's incredibly greasy, but it's two in the morning and you've had a very long day and in that moment this bacon egg and cheese sandwich is glorious and so are the hashbrowns
anyway this is the vibe of a waffle house
Tumblr media
(image taken from here)
idk how to end this post but waffle house is very near and dear and beloved to my soul thank you for coming along on this waffle house journey with me

new Olen song!!! have you heard it? what did you think?
OF COURSE IVE HEARD THE NEW OLEN SONG. HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEW OLEN SONG ? IT’S CALLED WAFFLES, BY OLEN. IT’S A NEW SONG FROM OLEN. IT’S CALLED WAFFLES
i am being so for real when i say that waffles is genuinely one of my favorite songs right now ever. like it’s just so chill and quiet with an interesting beat and such well constructed lyrics and that is soooo everything to me.
also, he announced in a live last night that waffles is part of a year long project called “i made you a mixtape” in which he will release a song a month. im vibrating with joy as i type this
thanks for listening to my favorite guy, definitely keep a look out for him for the rest of the year!!!!

me when i realize that pretty much everything in my life has actually only gotten worse since i graduated highschool, and all the times i was told things would get better were absolutely false !!!!!!
#i am going fucking insane. this is so stupid#i had a social life. i had friends. i had a job i could keep up with outside of school. i had a solid routine and schedule.#i had insurance. i didnt have to worry about money. i didnt have to buy groceries. i didnt have to cook every day.#i had enjoyable group activities. i had ppl telling me i was doing a good job. i had AUTHORITY FIGURES telling me i was doing a good job!!!!#i had a place to go to be away from home every weekday!! i had hope for the future still to some extent (not a lot but more than i do now)!#I DONT HAVE ANYYYY OF THAT NOW. I do have friends but not in-person!!! zero social life except hospital out-patient bullshit!!!#anyways the highschool is doing one of my fav musicals that i came THIS CLOSE to doing my grad year#but the vote was indecisive so they did some bullshit that nobody was happy with lmfao#i fucking petitioned hard. lobbied HARD. to get us to do that musical. i worked so hard to get everyone on board#but everyone was just waffling about it. and then we ended up w smth that nobody was happy with#AND NOW THIS YEAR.

A LOT A LOT.#like to the point where i have now genuinely cried after hearing that theyre doing it#that was my one fucking chance in highschool to be part of a musical i actually cared about and enjoyed and i lost it#i had watched my brothers be in these fun musicals when they were in school but for my three years I got NOTHINGGG#it hurts so fucking bad. i had been looking forward to that ever since we moved to this town. and then i got fucking nothing.#and now that im out of there and realizing how my life is absolutely fucked and i have to kill myself then they finally do it.#gallons of salt in the big fat gaping wound. insane.#genuinely feeling kind of shocked. how the hell do things line up so perfectly to hurt me this badly so often fjfkfl#maybe im just fucking pathetic and overly emotional idk victim complex or smth awful#i just kind of want to be done like right now. but i have to wait at least a month before i call it quits so i dont wreck this time of year#for my family for the rest of their lives lmfao#my siblings and dad dont deserve that. my mother probably does but whatever#im tired!!! im fucking exhausted!!! this sucks so incredibly badly!!!#suicide tw

[Additional Image Description: Fanmix cover for "and we've been runnin' here for years," a fanmix for Arkady Patel from The Strange Case of Starship Iris. A collage of photos and blocks of color in various rectangular dimensions, all framed by pale grey lilac blue borders between them. The image across the top half of the cover is the sky near dusk; the sky itself is that same pale blue, while the clouds that reach across it vary between the bright pink-orange of the sun's final rays and dark purple of night. Below the sky, the title is in a darker pink-orange block across the center. Beneath that are the subtitles in dark and medium blue and photos of a handgun and a seedling growing up from a sidewalk crack. End Additional Image Description.]
