okay its been a week... my top three 'room under the stairs' songs are... (in no particular order and i literally love the whole album sm)
false starts - the first time i heard this (at around 12:30 am) i literally felt myself ascend during the chorus. instant favourite, its literally so amazing!!!!!!
stardust - its literally so pretty and i could feel that from the first time i heard the little snippet, i so understand why it's khai's favourite
concrete kisses - the lyrics changed me. ive always been a lyrics girlie and that just confirmed that for me. I LOVE IT. also the 'oooh's destroyed me emotionally
i'm so glad they brought back tommy for buck. they could've brought back eli. they could've brought back the openly gay firefighter. they could've introduced someone new. but instead they brought back tommy: the guy who was stuck in the old boys' club, as well as figuring himself out around the same age as buck. the guy who wasn't warm or welcoming to chim or hen when they first arrived but who clearly struggled with doing so, and then who came to appreciate them and have their backs and enjoy their friendship. the guy who was there to see how bobby made a real difference to the 118, made it like a family before he left. the guy who was there for bobby's introduction of 'family dinners'. the guy who left the 118 so that buck could take his place there. the guy with the tk initials. the guy who shares a name with 2 other poignant tommys in the narrative for buck. the guy who chim called not once but twice for help and he answered. the guy who was saved by chimney and who will (hopefully) get to return the favour. the guy who made such pivitol personal growth in his time at the 118 thanks to chim and hen and bobby. they brought back the guy who proves that it's never too late to change, to grow, to be open and soft and caring. that it's never too late to learn about yourself, to figure out who you are as well as the person you want to be. that it's never too late to become a better version of yourself.
I don't follow anipoke and pokespe at all but I do remember raihan flirting with sonia in one of those early on. and I just think they should be like, fully fucking with each other
it shouldn’t be funny except that they’ve quite literally seen each others eat sand
