NRC listening to Mitski

I didn't mean for it to be this long and I apologize

Riddle:

• didn't like her at first. said she was overrated. a decision that would later bite him in the ass

• after a particularly rough day, he was sitting on his bed around midnight listening to a random spotify playlist trying not to cry

• i want you came on and he just fucking broke lmao

• trey had to knock on his door like 🗿 "you good???"

• now listens to her regularly

• avoids i want you at all costs because it reminds him of that night and he gets embarrassed smh 🙄

Trey:

• this man bakes

• this man wears glasses and a silly little hat

• this man probably has stinky feet

• he listens to whatever the fuck christian moms listen to

• anyways i'm done shitting on trey

• i don't see him enjoying mitski on an emotional level. probably just likes the beat of the songs. does a little dance in the kitchen listening to the only heartbreaker while stirring cake batter 😒

• he just doesn't fucking get it

Cater:

• probably only knows her from tiktok lmaooo

• "mitski? oh, you mean that washing machine girl?"

• what the fuck

• got in a fight in the tiktok comment section about being a fake fan

• proceeded to listen to all of her albums out of spite

Ace:

• pretends he doesn't listen to her but in reality she's 90% of his spotify wrapped

• he won't admit it

• it was a secret until deuce walked in on him dancing to should've been me 💀

Deuce:

• the first song he heard was old friend

• couldn't relate to trying to reconnect with an ex but he heard the pain in her voice and was like "this is emotion!!"

• bro ✨bonds✨ with ace over mitski (they're dating they're just idiots and don't realize it)

• except deuce is the one that cares about the deep lyrics and stories behind them

• favorite song is my body's made of crushed little stars

Leona:

• he likes some of her songs but doesn't know it's her specifically???

• like just "oh i know that song" and that's it

• doesn't pay attention to the lyrics and just falls asleep to the quieter ones

• but once he did pay attention to the lyrics he was like "oh..."

• ma'am what did you mean by "i always wanted to die clean and pretty but i'd be too busy on working days"

Ruggie:

• yes

• definitely

• absolutely

• the lyrics. the stories. the delivery. the instruments.

• he loves it all

• working for the knife is about being trapped in the cruel music industry. though ruggie is absolutely not in the music industry, he can relate to being stuck in a cruel world that's working him to death

Jack:

• probably doesn't listen to music at all

• not even when he's working out

• can he even wear headphones or earbuds??? with those ears???? would the headphones be uncomfy and squish the soft ear tissue??? would the earbuds fall in and get lost in the floof???

• either way, mitski isn't going in there 😭

Azul:

• isn't azul's whole thing literally "retired from sad, new career in business"???

• plays mitski on the speakers in the mostro lounge

• people are getting tired of it

• he's losing customers

• jade might quit

Jade:

• actually started to hate her because of how often azul played her songs 💀

• "if i have to hear nobody one more time i'm leaving"

• no jade doesn't give a shit if the songs are good. no jade doesn't give a shit if the lyrics have a deeper meaning. he's sick and tired of it

• maybe if azul didn't have mitski on repeat at the lounge jade would've had a more positive opinion on her 🙄

Floyd:

• floyd does not need the rollercoaster of emotions that come with mitski

• he's already unstable enough as it is 💀

• good thing he doesn't pay attention to the lounge speakers

• pretends he likes her to annoy jade but in reality he has never actually paid attention to a single song

Kalim:

• loves her

• has met her at one of her concerts

• she's so sweet too!!

• his favorite album is laurel hell mostly because a majority of the songs are danceable 💀

• insists on trying to play her songs during the music club meetings

• some of the songs are sexual??

• "oh good for her"

• smh

Jamil:

• only knows her because he went to the concert with kalim

• "chugabeer chugabeer chugabeer hopped in my truck and i hit a deer"

• poor epel

Rook:

• listen

• this man writes poetry

• of course he could appreciate the beauty of mitski

• analyzes everything

• "this verse states, 'my body's made of crushed little stars and I'm not doing anything.' this refers to the scientific belief that almost every element in the human body was once stardust, and mitski feels useless because she thinks her existence means nothing if she isn't living up to the expectations of the stars."

• bro calm down

• probably has notebooks filled with his favorite lyrics

Vil:

• heard neige listening to mitski and swore to never listen to her out of spite

• unfortunately that cannot happen with rook adding her to vil's spotify playlists

• how the fuck did rook get into vil's account 🤨

• didn't even realize it was mitski until it was too late

• he was live doing whatever the fuck beauty influencers do when they're live. spotify was on in the background. mitski came on.

• the comments went wild

• "vil likes mitski vil likes mitski vil likes mitski"

• vil is confused because he didn't add mitski to his playlist???

• tried to explain himself but no one listened

• someone was screen recording it

• neige texted him like "i didn't know you liked mitski"

• he feels called out

Idia:

• exclusively listens to anime openings and vocaloid

• idia should be lucky it wasn't cupcakke or something why the hell isn't kids mode on

• at least ortho was watching cocomelon so the recommended videos weren't too wild

• anyways 🙄

• ortho doesn't really listen to mitski but he can appreciate that she's doing her own thing and making meaningful songs that a lot of people can connect to

Malleus:

• do me ti why not me 😔💔

• in shame, the "(gasp) ooooooooooh" as the violins build up sends chills down his spine

• in pearl diver, the very last chorus at the end of the song also gives him chills

• "dive dive doooooooowwwwwwwwnnn hohohooooohohohooooooooooh ahhhahahahooooooooohhhwhwhhoooooooo"

• yeah that

• he feels the loneliness in her songs and it doesn't make him feel like there's someone out there who understands him, it just makes him feel even more lonely 💀

Lilia:

• this man's music taste is everywhere

• his spotify has to the grave (a heavy metal band that i've never seen anyone else listen to irl) right next to taylor swift

• he probably has mitski somewhere but she's not very high on his playlist

Silver:

• "i've been trying to lay my head down but i'm writing this at three a.m." 🙄

• he tries to listen to her because kalim likes her but he ends up falling asleep

• can somebody take him to the doctor because he's either cursed or he's narcoleptic

Sebek:

• if waka-sama likes mitski then so does sebek. fucking stalker.

Crowley:

• nah

• i really don't see him listening to and/or appreciating mitski

• why would he 💀

• he probably listens to that funky pop shit that comes on the radio

• his favorite song is probably barbie girl goddamn 🤭

Crewel:

• you know what

• yeah i think he does

• he's probably sewed a dress for her

• he made sure it was extra flowy and moved gracefully when she danced

• mailed it to her and was ecstatic when she wore it aww

Trein:

• you cannot tell me he, as a professor, doesn't like mitski.

• he reads the lyrics and has fun analyzing them. fucking teacher.

• her: "you told me once you were happy to have me but I never gave me away"

• trein: *taking notes*

• probably plays her at very low volume during class 💀

Sam:

• his friends on the other side managed to get a ticket for a random show that was in town

• of course he went because how many shows come to sage island

• that place is like the point nemo of twisted wonderland

• it happened to be mitski

• he loved it

• he loved how loving her fans were, even if some of the crowd was dull

• was not prepared for the crowd to scream at the top of their fucking lungs with her during drunk walk home 😭

• live footage of sam during drunk walk home: 🧍🏿

• ends up playing her in his mystery shop

V*rgas 🤢:

• no he's too busy eating eggs and looking like a fucking predator

22 for your spotify wrapped

22. Casual - Chappell Roan

Oh thank GOD I get to talk about this I was really hoping someone would pick this one. No artist frustrated me more this year than Chappell Roan. So this will double as a review of a particular song but also venting my feelings about this artist and her reception over the last year or so. I'm gonna have to talk about a lot of outside stuff that doesn't have to do with the particular song, but hopefully you guys are used to that by now. I read a lot of Pitchfork in the early 2010s, I'm sorry.

Chappell Roan is very obviously going to be a star. Sooner rather than later. My introduction to her was on New Year's Eve in 2022. I was at a friend's house, and somebody showed me a few of her songs. Casual was among them, but we'll get to that soon. The most lasting memory of that first exposure is being drunk and dancing around a friend's living room to a song called "Femininomenon." It felt affirming and empowering and all of those buzzwords; dancing to a catchy beat and lyrics about how boys stink, dolled up and embraced and accepted and welcomed as Feminine. From what I can tell, this is the exact experience Chappell Roan wants people to have while listening to her music. It was basically the perfect introduction.

A few weeks later, I remembered Femininomenon while I was at work, and couldn't get the hook out of my head, so I hastily added it to my general playlist and queued it up. Friends, I know if this post ever breaches containment I'll be torn to shreds, but that song is Ass. I'm sorry, but calling something "camp" does not excuse bad creative decisions. If we are going to bring out the torches for Taylor Swift writing "in the pub we, are watching rugby" then I demand the same for "hit it like rom-pom pa-pom, get it hot like Papa John." It sounds like music for a Dreamworks Dance Party Ending if they made an animated adaptation of Drag Race. It is a testament to the power of Friendship and Alcohol that I ever enjoyed it.

Later, I listened to a few more of her songs, and found a frustrating and recurring theme. They were all better than Femininomenon by a considerable margin, but had very samey lyrics that felt like they were treading the same ground over and over again. It just felt repetitive. I dunno, it just bothered me for some reason. What were they about? Oh, well, you see, the thing is...um, well, about that, uh, ya see, what I'm trying to say is...*writes "I will not wade into Queer Discourse on a Spotify Wrapped review" 100 times on a chalkboard* Sigh. For an artist who I saw heralded as a "new queer icon" it was annoying that most of the songs I first heard were about how much dating men sucks! To be fair, she also does have songs about feeling liberated being with women, but hearing Femininomenon, My Kink is Karma, and Casual, all complain about men just reminded me that she may be a queer icon, but not for people like me. Much in the same way that I was put off by a girl in college saying I "couldn't understand Mitski because she writes about the quintessential experience of girlhood," I was also put off by the assertion that I must make way for a new icon, and give deference and reverence to a narrative that excludes me.

Wait, did I mention Casual there? Aw fuck! This was supposed to be a review for that song!

So uh, the thing is, Casual is basically a perfect reinvention of the classic lovelorn country song? Yeah, they play up Chappell's southern roots in a lot of her music and promotional material, but it comes through crystal clear on this song. The structure and melody feel exactly like the old country songs I'd hear at my grandparents' house, but the lyrics are youthful and conversational and explicit, with the chorus opening with "knee deep in the passenger seat, and you're eating me out, is it casual now?" The sleek, modern production keeps the song from feeling out of place among her other, more danceable singles, but the lyrics and vocals are still powerful and raw. I derided Femininomenon for having lyrics that boil down to "boys stink" but Casual feels like a genuine and specific grievance. It feels lived-in and genuine in a way that reminds me of Taylor Swift's "All Too Well," which if you know anything about my tastes or about Swift's fandom in general, you know that is a gargantuan compliment. Chappell's vocals are always a highlight when they're allowed to shine, but they fucking soar on Casual. When she hits the final "go to hell" on the second(!) bridge it feels so cathartic, and so earned, and feels like you just got done venting about a situation that had been eating you up for ages, which is precisely the tone she seemed to be going for. She fucking nailed it. This song is impeccable. I cannot say enough good things about it.

So why did I spend so many words bitching earlier? Well, for one, honesty. When she blows up even more, which she will, I don't want to pretend I was a Day 1 Ride or Die. I want the record to show that I have some Concerns. But the thing is, I opened this review by saying that Chappell Roan frustrated me. Not that she made me angry, not that she annoyed me, but that she frustrated me. That's because I found some aspects of her songwriting and presentation (and fandom but that's not her fault) grating, but I also saw obvious and undeniable talent. Even My Kink is Karma is a fine song on its own, but the sins of Femininomenon stain it too, in that the pleasure (explicitly, in the former) comes from talking down the shitty men Chappell has to deal with. Many of her other songs carry the even more egregious sin; corniness. While nothing as bad as Papa John, singing about "fugly jeans" and, uh, the entire bridge of Red Wine Supernova bring down otherwise good songs that are more concerned with sharing winks with a specific audience in a specific moment in time, than creating art that holds up on its own merit alone.

A couple years ago, there was buzz about a young up-and-comer named Olivia Rodrigo, maybe you've heard of her? She blew up with a gargantuan hit ballad filled with melodramatic teen angst and verses that were sung in cursive, years after that style became a punchline. "Well, this is a bit shit," I thought. But then when I listened to her album, there were a few tracks that I liked, most of them being more energetic with some pop-punk influence. "It would be cool if she went down this power-pop road, she's super well-suited for it," I thought again, though I assumed she'd try to chase Phoebe Bridgers in the Hunt to be the Heir to the Swift Throne. I think I was wrong on that one! From what I've heard of Olivia's newest stuff, she's bringing the shiny guitars and bratty/aggressive vocals to the forefront, and I really enjoy it! It is really nice to be pleasantly surprised, to be glad to be wrong about something.

That is why I'm hard on Chappell Roan. That is why I find the overwhelming praise irritating. Olivia Rodrigo received endless praise for one of her worse songs, and caught lawsuits and plagiarism allegations for one of her best. It is a goddamn miracle that she resisted the urge to double down on the sadgirl schtick. Chappell Roan has a terrific voice, biting lyrics, razor-sharp pop sensibilities, star presence that most would kill for, and can write hooks that rival the very best of my lifetime. The girl is money. Which is why it worries me that most of the praise I've seen for her focuses on such surface-level criteria. Quirky presentation, referential lyrics, and a crosshair on the current queer zeitgeist can certainly help your success and give you a few trendy tiktok audios. But she's got skills that can carry her forever, and no song in her still-brief discography showcases them better than Casual. In a few years, The Youth will inevitably laugh at what we now consider trendy. And Casual will still be a perfect song. If I live to be 100 I'll still be listening to it. I hope Chappell Roan makes me look stupid.

#ask meme #making this one unrebloggable because uh!#people would be mad! don't wanna deal with it!

I listen to Lofi music to calm down

Also, can I be called Frost Anon?

You sure can, Frost Anon :D

I match you with...

Jeff!

Jeff, at first, wasn't very interested in you. You were cute and all, but that kinda attitude never really drew him in.

That was until he came back from a mission one day with an injured arm, and since Jack wasn't there to assist him, he had to try to doctor and wrap it himself. You noticed his obvious struggling and stepped over to offer your help, and a little startled, he allowed you to take the reigns.

He couldn't figure out why you would go out of your way to do this for him, when you probably had plenty of other - more important - things to tend to. When you were finished, he blinked down at you, muttered a hesitant, "uhh...thanks", and you gave a meek grin in response.

He kind of started seeing you differently after that event, and he couldn't quite decipher why.

All he knew was that suddenly, he noticed your presence whenever you walked into the room, he'd listen to what you were saying at all times, and he even began to snort at the little jokes you told, even if some of them were cheesy. He did this quietly, of course, but you didn't fail to note it.

And one day, he saw you giving his good boy Smile the affection he deserves, and his heart melted. That was when he realized that he definitely might have had a teensy eensy crush on you.

This 'crush' only evolved as time progressed, and he decided maybe it would be worth his time to get to know you, so that's exactly what he did.

A bit abrasively, sure, but what more can you expect from Jeff?

The moment you first giggled at a snarky, off-handed comment he made about one of the other residents was the moment he felt a new kind of accomplishment.

He adored how you sounded when you laughed - especially because of him - so he made a viable effort to get that reaction out of you whenever he had a chance. It made his pride swell every time he succeeded.

He didn't bother using small talk to get closer to you, nor did he use typical flirting tactics - he simply acted like himself (perhaps dialed back a bit so you wouldn't be overwhelmed), as Jeff is capable of being no other way. Thankfully, this worked in his favor.

Liu convinced him that you were receptive to his, uh...advances? And told him to just go for it, as the worst thing that could happen was rejection.

He begrudgingly took his advice and sorta just blurted out a confession while the two of you were in the middle of watching TV.

"Yeah, uh, by the way, I like you a lot I think."

It was a bit startling but you were flattered nonetheless.

As a boyfriend, Jeff is surprisingly mature. He isn't needy or possessive, and he rarely gets jealous to a concerning extent, unless you just intentionally throw yourself at another attractive individual.

It's often overshadowed by his tendency to be brash and easily annoyed, but when his walls are down, he can be rather sweet, and you and his brother are really the only ones that have access to this hidden side of him.

When a chill sweeps your body, he will not hesitate to wrap you in a blanket burrito and then proceed to take a picture of you, where he'll then make it his screen saver. And he'll swaddle you tightly too - like, you have to fight to escape the blanket's grasp, and he'll either sit there and watch in amusement or leave you alone to your own devices.

Honestly, he was a very big Spongebob fan when he was a kid, so he will eagerly flop down onto the couch next to you when it turns on, singing along to the intro in the dumbest pirate voice he can muster.

Despite his normally light-spirited personality, he can get serious when the moment calls for it. When you get anxious, have a panic attack, get flashbacks, or have a nightmare, he is there to help in whatever way he possibly can.

He's not an expert by any means at comforting people, but he will do his absolute best to talk you down, keep his tone soft, reassure you that everything's okay, and offer physical contact when it's needed. He doesn't like seeing you genuinely upset, over anything, so puts an extra amount of effort into making sure you're alright.

He was never really into video games, but you got him hooked on Animal Crossing, and now he can legit spend hours playing it at a single time.

Like you try to drag him away and he's just like, "yeah yeah, in a minute" and will be there for another three hours if you let him.

It isn't his fault the game's so freaking addictive!

If you ever happen to fall asleep with him, beware. This man is a snorer.

He claims he isn't, of course, but that doesn't magically make it true.

I also hope you like being scared outta your wits from time to time because Jeff will certainly deliver on that.

old friend - mitski

I still think of you whenever I read a poem about friendships that fall apart. About people walking out of your life. About old friends. But I don't think of you in a conventional way, no. Your face doesn't appear in my mind, and neither does your name. I can't even remember the last time I said your name.

It's just you.

You have become a concept in my life. "Her". And whenever I try to explain it to someone else, I can't find the words. How to unpack the weight of my love for you, in an hour long therapy session? How to compress how much we hurt each other, while pulling an all nighter with friends? No, not even if I had all the time in the world I could explain it to them. They would ask "why didn't you just leave?"

Oh, my dear, If only I could've.

How do you let something that is so ingrained in you go? How do you leave such a great part of your life behind without leaving a part of you behind too? I remember what I was drawing the second time I stayed the night in your house. I remember your favorite food and all the sweets you didn't liked. I remember your father's last name, and I also remember that you don't like to use it. I think of you whenever I pose for a picture with a certain expression that you used to make. I remember how many stuffed animals used to sit on top of your bed. Everytime someone uses your favorite song on an Instagram story, you pop up on my head, like an annoying ad in a pirate website. I know I remember too much, but tell me, where do I put it down?

Everytime our we come across in a WhatsApp group, everytime we hang out in a bigger group and we say the same phrase at the same time like we could read each other's mind, everytime you send me a funny video about a niche that we both share, I feel like a tiny part of me goes back to the good times. The naive part of my mind sparks this miniscule thought that says "Maybe we can go back to that. I have learned about boundaries, so I wouldn't let it go too far. Not this time". But the logic part of me crushes that idea before the spark turns into a flame. It's not that simple. I can't let you walk all over me again. And I know that it's likeable that it happens, if we ever become friends again. I have to remind myself that you're just being nice because we're not friends anymore. That the second we go back to normal, you'll forget about me again. And I can't go through that again, I'm sorry.

I'm scared of seeing you again. I'm scared to spend one-on-one time with you again.

I fear that, if I dare to do it, that tiny spark will become a forest fire without my consent. And by the time you put out a forest fire... It'll have done enough damage anyways.

Because you can't control fire.

And I can't control you.

okay, seriously asking. I can't really understand the hype behind Mitski. I think the kind of music it is just isn't something that attaches to me because there are other artists I prefer who do it similarly but not effectively for me. Everyone regards her as this God but I can't see it. Maybe it's too drone-y for me? I'd love to hear the perspective from someone who enjoys her. I just want to understand

completely fair question! and thank you for asking , i'm not entirely sure how to word my answer so this is just my personal experience with her music and of course to each their own if she's not your thing i completely get that and would love some reccomendations! /gen.

I think the main catching point for me with Mitski is the variety of work she produces. She gets bottled down into the "Sad girl" genre a lot because some of her most popular or trending songs are about topics like loneliness or yearning but her work is so much more than just that it covers a lot of topics surrounding her own life and upraising feelings of being outcast or "otherness" because of her race. ( which is something i cannot directly relate to but alot of fans can relate to some form of feeling other and thus relate to her message) . Some of her most recent work really getting into the feelings of being stuck in the grind of working yourself to death for what praise you can get and like you mentioned being idolized because at the end of the day she isn't a god shes's a human being (and y'know para-social relationships and such please remember musicians are people at the end of the day).

I think i really like specific songs that I can belt along with like its a vent just to sing along like the tracks "I Will" (the song mentioned in the post i think you saw) and "Drunk walk home" and sometimes i think just finding lyrics that can resonate with a certain experience or struggle you have experienced can be comforting even if you cant 100% relate to them.

On the being drone-y front i can see how you could feel that way it might be that i kind of jump between albums so don't find the tracks too similar or drone-y? but there are definitely a few tracks that feel the same because alot of her music is slow and not melancholy but calm i geuss? .

my sort of go to's for a variety of songs from each album is :

From "Lush" : Liquid smooth , Abbey and Pearl Diver

From "Retired from sad, New Career in Business" : Goodbye my danish sweetheart , Strawberry blond and Class of 2013 (another track to yell with )

From "Bury me at make-out creek": (ones mentioned above in the belt along bit)

From "Puberty 2": Happy ,Your best american girl, Crack Baby

From "Be a the cowboy": Pink in the night (just really love the synths on this one , that and ive seen like fifty edits using it lmao) , A pearl (love the drums and the animated music video is sick for this one) and geyser.

AND finally Laurel hell the most recent album which got rudely belitted for not being "Sad girl" music anymore which was massively annoying because artists are allowed to change their styles and topics, entitled fans think their fav artists should stay the same always. Anyway rant over i'd reccomend the whole album but my recs from Laurel hell are : the already mentioned "Working for the knife" ,The only heartbreaker (for again some fun drum/synths) and Should've been me (the little error sound at the start is so stuck in my head).

sorry this turned into a super long post and sort of a rec list but to summarise , i love a good track to belt along to when i'm mad or sad and Mitski covers a large variety of said topics you might be upset about or be able to relate to in beautiful ways. That and i adore the sort of layered effects most of her songs have of mixing drums ,synth , guitar etc and the most recent album having more interesting smaller sounds added in like the error sound at the start of Should've been me etc.

Mitski while a popular artist is a human being and shouldn't be placed on some a high pedastal / people need to remember shes a person aswell not a god.

Again sorry if this explanation didn't help and if anyone sees this post and wants to add their experience with Mitski's music go ahead and thank you again for asking that question so genuinely /gen.

#i added tone tags because this is a genuine response #it is half past midnight though and i am half awake so i apologise if this does not make sense #essentially im a sad lass who loves some sad music OH! and i also like to use the tracks on angsty playlists for ocs probs should have #mentioned that damn too late #anywho anon my buddy ty for asking and if you have recs with songs slash artists you love please send them my way i love new music : D

Mm I think something that many people analyzing songs get many things wrong. "Authorial intent" is a phrase commonly used for authors, but in a way can be used for someone like Mitski. It's similar to the reaction to strawberry blonde. While the song never outright SAID it was about poc, it is. This is because of how it inadvertently showed how a person of color feels. Thinking about an author and the biases + context of the author herself puts it in perspective. Even songs with maybe 0 authorial intent HAS an effect in real life. The song "matroyshka" is literally a song meant to have no meaning, but you CAN derive meaning from it. It can be seen as a critique of the inherent fact it has no meaning-has a meaning.

I'm very annoyed over disputes over things like this.

(Its literally the same as like..bl authors yknow?? Like when its shown as a donghua or live action like the untamed or svsss, it has to be censored. But you can clearly see its MEANT to be lgbtq, and authorial intent is definently there for it. Just because theres a meaning of something you feel you cant relate with; dosent mean it's not there)

You've mentioned you have several blogs, so... I have one blog at the moment, but it's a mismatch of topics and content and it's kinda jarring. I'm toying with the idea of making a few blogs to separate my shit and I was wondering if you have any advice? Thanks! ❤

sdghlksdhgs I WROTE OSMETHING OUT AND IT DELETED, so, uh, here’s the less fancy version.

First and foremost–just know you don’t have to create multiple sideblogs. I enjoy filing things into separate categories and making tags. If you don’t want to put in the effort to manage multiple blogs, you don’t gotta. If you’re concerned about followers not liking some of the shit you post, just tag as well as you can so they can blacklist what they don’t like and more easily find what they do like. Who knows, maybe keeping all of your shit in one space means someone will find your blog and go, “Holy shit, this bitch not only likes X, she also likes, Y?? AND Z????” and that’s an instant friend!

Or maybe you’re like me when I was a freshman in college and your friends go, “I wanna follow your tumblr but I can’t fucking stand that you’re posting Glee, so I might have to unfollow you” and so you make a separate sideblog. And then you had to keep doing that because everyone hates your newest hyperfixation (thus main and personal blog became those 2 blogs + 1d blog + anime blog + kpop blog).

ANYWAYS my actual TIPS are–

XKIT ALWAYS. The one click postage with the drop down menu makes reblogging to separate accounts SO EASY. Also, if you wanna migrate content from your main to your sideblog, quick tags helps out a bunch.

@theme-hunter is good for finding multiple, distinct themes for each of your blogs so they all have their own flavor!

Don’t be afraid to promo and cross post. If I make a post on my main blog but want it to get more attention, I can and will reblog it to this blog and rub it in your faces.

Use similar tagging styles across blogs. I fucked this up and now how I tag ships on some blogs does NOT match how I tag them on others and it SUCKS. My main blog I used to do NameName and on my anime blog I do Name X Name because it makes searching easier. ANd it’s… annoying.

Don’t stress too much about having a clear division of what posts go where. Like, Tessa Thompson is supposed to go on my main blog since she’s an MCU actress. But also she was in a Janelle Monae video, so she ends up on my music blog and she was in Sorry to Bother You, so she ends up here sometimes too. Sometimes, the same post of her goes on all three blogs. Who gives a fuck? You’re reblogging content yout hink is quality, why not reblog it 18 fucking times.

Don’t post shit on one blog you wouldn’t want people on the other blogs to find out. I don’t care if your sideblog is Super Anonymous, just don’t have them linked to the same account. You can and will reblog things to the wrong account and it’s gonna be awkward if one blog is “Here’s my penis photoshopped to look like different DND races and classes” and your main blog is something your family follows.

Have fun. It’s fucking tumblr, nothing here matters.

Also, be prepared for some blogs to matter more than others. For a long time, my 1d blog felt like my main blog even tho… it’s a sideblog. Now, I am a husk of a human being and this blog is more my main blog… even though it is also a sideblog. Shit happens.

On that note, DON’T put shit on one blog that you would mind seen on another blog. If your sideblog is “Here’s my dick photoshopped into famous cinematic moments” and your main is something nice your friends and family follow... you WILL accidentally put your entire dick and balls onto your main blog by accident. ANd, no, you won’t delete it fast enough.

And now it’s time for me to promote the fuck out of my other blogs for attention

Follow @karolinamean for Marvel shit (mostly Captain America but also Spidey/Black Panther/Thor/Runaways/Young Avengers) and then other fandom shit like The Good Place, Star Wars, and other shit idk.

Follow @solourries for… mostly Louis Tomlinson, sometimes Harry Styles, Janelle Monae, Lorde, and Mitski. Or at least check out my /tagged/audio on that blog if you like STephanie’s Music Night.

Follow @riskyaim for kpop which is every kpop girl I love and then yoongi.

Follow @finitefantasy for anime and video games, mostly Sasuke, Dragon Age, Overwatch, HXH, and other shit.

Most of these blogs have tags pages (although solourries’ has been under construction for like two years) if you wanna know more about them.

ALso while you’re at it follow my twitter @watchyurionice and yes i do refuse to change that @.

ALSO ALSO if you ARE familiar with 1d and see my “solourries” url, no, I’m not a larry. I just only care about 2/5 of the ex members of 1d. And… sometimes I care about larry in a non-shipping, “Wow I miss their friendship that existed before larries ruined it” way. And sometimes in a very removed from reality shipping way but also I’m not delusional and I know not even their friendship is alive at this point, so like, it’s fINE. I just wanna imagine a universe where their friendship didn’t have to die an awful death like it did in this one. I watched that shit die n real time over several years, I’m allowed to have fanfic. No, we are not doing shipping discourse about boybands on this blog.

ANYWAAAAYS sideblogs are fun I have like 12. All at least semi-active. Lmao.
