12 YEARS OF ONE DIRECTION

"We were always lucky that we had each other to share the experience with. I think we were the lucky ones. We could have all lost the plot because of all the madness that was going on around us. But we were all very good at calling each other out and we genuinely got on, were able to know each other's boundaries and suss each other out" — Niall Horan.

wanted to start sharing some of my playlists cause they're getting to a point in pretty happy w them so I wanna start off with my one for the strawhats!

as the title suggests its still a huge work in progress but since it's also my only chronological/one you have to listen in order I also wanted to explain it a bit!

the first and second song from the opla ost are mainly to 'set the scene' so to speak, opening with 'my sails are set' which is set around post-arlong park which I feel perfectly captures the melancholy but also hopefullness nami (and almost all strawhats) was feeling about their past circumstances and joining Luffy. she is also the driving force of the ap arc which is the first major arc and what jumpstarts the rest of the plot.

'welcome to the grand line' moves both the story along to them being in the grand line aswell as establishing a more upbeat tone which is important for the next song.

now THIS IS where I start geeking out, for those who don't know, The Mechanisms are a steampunk concept band! following the story of a crew of immortal space pirates, each album having it's own storyline to it. 'our boy jack' is a revolutionary song against a corrupt monarch/government which I think first the alabasta/enies lobby saga so we'll. 'Jack' being Luffy and the song being from Zoro's POV. the references to fighting giants (little garden) being hunted (baroque works) drinking and sacrifice (dammit zoro) and having utter unwavering faith in the protagonist is just. so good to me. listen to The mechs, they're so good 😭.

'im going to be king of the pirates' is just another progression song tbh. I though it fit ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

these next three songs I put to represent the timeskip, 'get the band togeather' being the crew departing back to sabody/generally referencing how they were all doing their own thing for those two years but are now back with Luffy! 'planetary (GO!)' basically just being a high energy song hyping up their new adventures.

'wealth fame and power' title-wise carrying that same energy (and also another transitional song because the next one is just. such a huge tone shift)

now this one. THIS is the one I was most exited to add, if you don't listen to any other song PLEASE listen to this one. it's so dear to my heart I love it. 'Steamboat Shenanigans' is by another steampunk concept (/pantomime!!!) band I like called Steam Powered Giraffe. the scenario I imagine behind this is just, a purely domestic day on the thousand sunny. maybe a bit more Franky and Brook focused since the two main running motifs are music and the boat(/robotics behind it) itself. GOD it's just, such a fun song. makes you wanna smile and dance, I love it.

i think the show airing on paramount+ would equal episodes longer than 40 mins and a more mature rating both of which i’m happy about

yes bring the sexy times

Also that and I will to feral if you do write something for him 😫

The grunt at the beginning??? Illegal!!!! 😭

Oh, I'm def working on something for him!! I have 20 tabs open with just clips of him so I can hear all his voice lines and idiosyncrasies, and I already made like five gifsets for this man and ate up all my space getting his ass in 4k, so -

He's getting something.

I listened to the latest Dangerous Reunion with guest Yuzuki Ryouka and let me tell you! There was so much flirting going on between her and Hirarin!! So much happened! Check below~

Yuzuki was given a chance to ask anything to one of the hosts and she seemed really interested in calling Hirarin by something other than his last name (Hirakawa-san). She asked him in a super small voice and he was like "Oh, well just call me by my first name" like it was no big deal! People were saying Hirarin was too relaxed (probably because she's younger than him) but her reaction was so funny! She couldn't believe he said that! She tried saying "Daisuke" several times but couldn't get his whole name out. He also said that he was kind of envious of Koniyan calling her "Yuzu" when she first arrived. They haven't worked together much in the past so they're not exactly friends or anything. Of course she agreed when he asked if he could also call her "Yuzu."

Then there was Koniyan who was the biggest instigator lol! A couple times he mentioned they sounded like a middle school couple with how shy she was. He made sure to point out that she called him "Konishi-san" while she continued to call Hirarin "Daisuke" without hesitation XD! When Hirarin was calling her by her first name, she started stuttering and told him to stop calling her that or she'd fall for him! A few minutes later, Hirarin said he'd been rejected by her lol! Koniyan's fans kept asking Hirarin's fans if they were ok but they all replied that it was really cute and how they were having a lot of fun!

When the show first started she mentioned that her air conditioner at home was broken and how hot it was. By the end of the show, she said "Let me go to your place, Daisuke!" and he was like, "Come on over! You can take a cold shower too." Of course the comment section went wild lol!

After listening to it, I have a new fear of Hirarin and how casually he flirts! He's so blunt and he sounds completely serious when he says stuff lol! His danger level keeps increasing! Overall, it was a lot of fun to listen to and I'm so jealous of Yuzuki!! Listen to the first half for free here!
