Some of the folks behind my favorite horror podcast just recently started a new podcast called World Gone Wrong and if you like podcasts at all I cannot recommend it enough

It's a fictional chat show about the end of the world between two roommates currently living half the country apart and they're talking about things like how to werewolf-proof your home against your lycanthropy-infected purse dog and it's so funny but there's something so gentle and empathetic about it that feels so relevant to the way everything actually is. Even though they're talking about pod people.

There's only 4 episodes so far so it's a really quick listen, please listen to World Gone Wrong

Here’s just the art I did for my Death Shroud song :D

i have just discovered the recording of jeremy jordan and laura benanti singing all the wasted time from parade and i fear it has changed me as a person.... i am different now

And love put up an awful fight You never made your peace with it

THE X FILES | What Cannot Be Found by Copeland

bestie we need more fun facts about your characters im wilting over here

Jack likes to collect CDs and likes listening to them in his car. Definitely owns a cd wallet or two. He also drives a manual 2004 ford focus that he takes really good care of

Wynn: Is this shot gun alarmed?

Neil: I don't know what it's emotional state is

why is there no actually good music app :/

like i’m using apple music and most of it works okay but the search function sucks so bad and i considered switching to spotify a while ago so i tried that out for a bit but holy shit the user interface sucks so much. the only good thing there are the user created playlists

and why youtube music and amazon music suck is obvious probably lol

okay yknow what. the TFE playlist as of today. it is all over the place. i am cringe but i am free and also you should read the tags:

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Set It Off Ninth Life - Ivycomb Music Used To The Darkness - Des Rocs (yeah. from the trailer. shh) Heart - Fishymom Everybody Gets High - MISSIO You Can Run - Adam Jones Bury Me Low - 8 Graves Forrest Fire - AJJ All the Dead Kids - AJJ C'est La Vie - Weathers Don't Look Back/Don't Wait For Me - trashyinferno Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil Canary In a Coal Mine - The Crane Wives (PLEASE) Monster - dodie We Don't Talk About Bruno - lydia the bard Soleil - Lizz Robinett (not the original i just like her cover of it) Phantom Feelings - CJack (Wolf n Zavala. kill me) Cut My Fingers Off - Ethan Bortnick Engravings - Ethan Bortnick Between the Rains and the Times - Reverse: 1999 Gladiator - Jann You Only Know - Phemiec The Bidding - Chonny Jash (original by Tally Hall but CJ turns it into an entirely new piece of art. oh my god) OVER & OVER - Rio Romeo A Crow's Trial - Vane Castaway - Kroh Be Nice To Me - The Front Bottoms you smell of dead flowers - Cliesel version Rain In Soho - Mountain Goats Overgrown Garden - beetlebug

So, the funny thing here is that I discovered this group in the process of writing Hotel California, and now they're my second most listened to band on Spotify. They've only got like...one EP out. I just keep listening to the same 7 songs on repeat.

It's so fucking catchy, you guys. And this music video is gloriously ridiculous.

best metal recommendations for beginners (me)

wagging the tail I don't have at this ask!!! ok so I'll note that Most of the bands I listen to use a good amount of gutturals so that's a warning but I do have some that dont. anyway!

my personal best recommendation is trivium, they're just Solid I Think. they're not Too hard overall. or some of their songs are but some aren't, rather. my favorite album of theirs is sin and the sentence personally but in the court of the dragon, shogun and ascendancy have some good tunes too!

uhhh some other slightly lower key (ears wise anyway) ones... dark tranquillity's newer albums are pretty good! moment and atoma rule!! (I personally like the gallery but that ones older and so kind of A Lot). in flames is always solid too though I don't have any Album recs from them (only for the weak is like iconic though as a song 👍)

oh wait hold on I completely forgot about the more like. orchestral metal. orchestral metal isn't really my taste but I do appreciate it for the spectacle. kamelot and epica are both in that regard! also if you want some more gutturals in with your violins may I recommend fleshgod apocalypse (by far the best name here). oh or ne obliviscaris if you like songs that last 12 minutes. their instrumentals are gorgeous though.

as for: (probably not good bands to listen to as somebody new to it but it's how I got hooked so hey) arch enemy is Really Good, especially wages of sin and later in my opinion. if you have my music taste. i have a 50 song long playlist (its on spotify though i didnt have time to move it to youtube) of my arch enemy favorites if you're interested that's my favorite band.

uhhhh also these next two aren't actually bands I'm a Huge fan of perse but yknow how some people listen to hyperpop because their brain itches. yeah parasite inc and allegaeon are the metal equivalent of that to me. I'm really pick and choose with their songs but most of time tears down from parasite inc is good for Brain Static and I enjoyed most of damnum from allegaeon! (though warning for that one at least one of the songs (coming home) has a very graphic depiction of suicide). allegaeon also just has really good instrumentals in general like jeez.

oh! also obligatorily mentioning the metal: hellsinger ost. it has vocalists from a lot of the bands I just mentioned. it's good.

alternatively if you want you can check out my playlist of what songs I personally like (most of the bands I listed are on here and some i didnt) and if any strike a chord with you you can look into those bands from there!

though uhhhhh. skip the ambersun songs. those are songs for a hatoful boyfriend-based metal album (that I to this day wonder what the target audience was apart from Me) and thus spoilers.

the sonic rush ost scratches my brain in just the right way

This game is so bad to play, i now need to figure out how to speedrun what took me 8hrs to figure out so the guy survives, but also no other game has stuck in my mind like this one

I was fucking scooping ice cream at my job and im sitting there like: ok, so maybe if i skip that hallway, but that hallway has all the equipment coin tosses, but if i snag a detour to the armory room and get lucky on tosses-

This game is haunting me and i am, against my will, highly engaged
