This month's playlist starts out very relaxed, before it gets sad and emotional, eventually turning into an intense, sweaty rave. This month the genres are mostly indie pop, synth pop, and electronic music.
These are all songs which are new to me this month, which I enjoyed. They're not all actually new releases - some older tracks end up in here if I haven't heard them before this month.
Fireside - John Mark Nelson, Tancred, & Jenny Owen Youngs - I can't ignore the season. Merry worst-season-of-the-year to you. At least firelight is pretty, like this sparkling song.
There'd Better Be a Mirrorball - Arctic Monkeys - I mostly like the title and the chorus. Can we at least have a Disco if we're both getting miserable? Fits the real vibes of winter for me.
Casual - Chappel Roan - This month's lyrical theme is apparently relationship problems. This story about a greedy partner who wants things 'casual' but who is clearly using the girlfriend for one-sided emotional support sounds like a story I've seen in real life before.
Unconditional - Magdalena Bay - Listening to the album this track is on is like splashing into a pool lit by pastel lights during a weed-scented party. Vaporwave must never die.
God Turn Me Into a Flower - Weyes Blood - I just found this artist this week, and dove into her whole catalog. I feel foolish for missing out on her. Reminds me of what I love about Joni Mitchell, but more relaxed.
666 - Jeremy Messersmith - the party is starting to get more lively, now that the perpetually late Satanists show up. They brought hummus! And instrumentals that remind me of The Squirrel Nut Zippers' anachronistic smorgasbord.
Joy - Mikey Mike - I connected to this one based on its lyrics about the choice of going into parenthood, a topic that's been on my mind lately.
Smoking Weed Alone - Tegan and Sara - Repetitive, exhausted verses about the fatigue and emotional exhaustion of a thoughtful, melancholy breakup. Check this whole album out.
Bejeweled - Taylor Swift - I tried to get into Taylor Swift last year, but I ran into a shallow distaste of the country music genre. It's a musical milieu I just have little connection to. This album seems to be more in the style of synth-pop, which I relate to much more. The mobile game sound effects of this track charmed me.
Raspberry Blush - Chromeo - A new entry from my favorite living synthpop duo. Still funky and sweet after all these years.
Baby Powder - Bandingo Ygne - if you've ever wondered whether or not "Hello! Ma Baby", a tinpan alley song written in 1899, could be sampled as the base of a modern hiphop track, here is your answer.
Slaughter House - Phonkha & zecki - get out the glowsticks, and put on your stompy industrial-goth boots, it's time to experience a crunchy, hard-hitting EBM track that's been making the rounds in various remixes on TikTok.
Tibet - Artbat, Argy & Zafrir - The Monk Chant Dance Track Trend Continues in this trance song. Feel the fake spirituality wash over your internet-cursed brain.
Dance With Me - Sunny Lax - an uplifting vocal trance track that reminds me of the summers and dance floors of simpler times.
Off the Ground - Sub Focus - This track is an example of exactly what I love about great trance songs. It makes me feel like I'm floating upwards under my own power. I can NOT sit still when I hear the break.
GMT (Jamie xx Remix) - Oliver Sim & Jamie xx - a house song, which slowly builds around a lonesome vocal. Long distance relationships are so hard. Did you think we were done with sad relationship songs back in the indie pop section?

Music: Demon In My Soul - SCXR SOUL & Sx1nxwy, SLAUGHTER HOUSE - Phonka & Zecki
“You eat humans?” The tremble in your voice is prominent, and you’re surprised you don’t stutter with the fear that’s thrumming along with your heartbeat. “Among other things,” he drawls, inhaling your scent as you try not to move. Your breath catches as he opens his mouth over your throat, a whimper working it’s was from your own as terror climbs higher. A quiet squeak leaves you as his tongue swipes out, hot and wet, dragging over your skin as he tastes you.
You’re lying on the circular mattress, darkness shrouding the surrounding room, lit only by candles. The milky wax melts to the floor, moving in circles until it forms a tight ring around the mattress. Then, the streams start looking toward your bed, rolling beneath you to inevitably join.
so i was scrolling through dash and then saw you reblogged the fanfic ask emoji post…
🥺😈✨🎶 🌞 💖 💌 🦅👀 🤲
hope you don’t mind how many emojis and questions there are HAHSWIHX I’m curious tbh 😅 <33
but also, no pressure on this!!
if there’s too many, you can choose only a couple if ever, i’m generally curious about any and would love to hear your thoughts on any of them in general yeeee
see you aroundd
@thefourchimes can I just begin this by saying how absolutely honored I am to be mutuals with you! :D
Hurt/Comfort never fails to put me in my feels, or betrayal/begging forgiveness tropes as well. I have a thing for the pregnancy trope as well (don't come for me, I know I have a problem).
Oh yeah, I really like angst. Specifically, the kind of angst that makes readers wanna throw their computer against a wall. I've done some evil stuff, muahahahaha.
I've been told my writing is good, so that counts as a compliment, haha!
Yesssss, I do. I love music. I've been listening to tiktok audios lately; slaughter-house 2 by zecki is a good one I've been particular to.
I write whenever the mood hits, but I guess middle-ish, when everyone else is at work. I like the peace and quiet.
Percy Jackson is what I first started writing, so I guess that did it. I'm neurodivergent, so once I hyperfixate on something, it is so hard to think about doing anything else.
I loooooooooooooooooooove comments and feedback. I neeeeed it. It's an addiction lmfao
It depends on how productive I'm feeling. I've outlined fics, but I've also winged it. My longest fic was completely winged.
My next fourchimes chapter will have a Conquest/Robin moment, so stay tuned for that ;)
10. Sure! Here's something from one my ABO works. It's tame, so nothing crazy to worry about lol
"Robin’s neck is bruised beyond belief, and the sight of it fills Nancy with such ugly self-loathing at her own perceived failure.
They lay in her bed at the end of it all, finally resting after tending to their wounds and making sure the rest of their group is taken care of. Steve takes Dustin to the hospital to check on Max. Lucas and Erica haven’t even left the unconscious girl’s side. Nancy and Robin only left the hospital to take care of themselves. There was a visitor limit, but in the craziness following the earthquake, that hadn’t been strictly enforced.
The tension between them melted in the wake of everything that happened. Nancy felt the embers of their attraction catch, and a slow flame was gradually gaining steam.
It was comfortable, yet so very disheartening for it to have happened under such terrible circumstances."
