Hey!!! Love your writing and your works!

Was wondering how you'd interpret IK meeting Michael...AND GOD.

Like in OM! Theres this one part where Simeon invites MC and Solomon to the Celestial Realm and they go there.He than said "Oh Michael would've liked to meet u but he's busy"

This made me curious on how IK would react if she'd meet Michael and by some absurd means,also meet Father aka God.Like would she just bombard them whit questions of what's real and what's fake in the Bible? Or would she be all shy and quiet

(honestly I think both)

C-could you Also maybe write some headcannons? If you want to ofc!!!

thank you!! and- first i've got to make the now-obligatory michael don't leave me here michael joke

and now that that's out of the way - depending on whether michael is really a benign force or not, either ik immediately gains a new uncle upon meeting her, or she spends the entire meeting just side-eyeing him

she's got a good impression of him from luke, but she's also suspicious about the celestial realm in general - so it'd be down to how michael acts. in the uncle michael situation, it definitely wouldn't be long before ik's asking him stuff like "so is turning water into a wine a thing you can do or was that just a weird party trick?"

as for god... he probably does have a human-looking vessel, but in my head he's usually occupying a much grander form, the kind that'd blind a person to look at - so when ik somehow secures a meeting with him, solomon's like 'IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE. TAKE THIS' and gives her a pair of extremely thick sunglasses, plus a massive sunhat

when she walks into the meeting chamber the gathered angels are under the impression a walking hat has come to meet their great and immortal father. at first they're outraged by this human's lack of respect, but god is so charmed by the sheer audacity that he just tells them to shush

#answering asks #anon asks #uncle michael indulges every single one of ik's questions and then some #treats her like a beloved grandchild and makes a huuuge deal about it to simeon like #'i can't believe you went so long depriving me the company of such a nice little human'#simeon 'michael YOU were the one too busy to meet her before now'#michael 'i cannot hear you over the sound of how much fun i'm having with this darling child'#meanwhile if michael gives ik good reason to be suspicious of him she's just VERY passive aggressive with him #simeon tries to discourage it but he secretly finds it really funny #realistically ik does Not like god but she's wise enough not to be openly rude to him #though she does still sneak in some of the same passive aggression #she would be at least a little intimidated by both of them but mostly she's just going in there like WHATEVER #as an atheist meeting god is more funny than anything else #(and don't be mistaken! even after meeting god ik's still an atheist)

Bautista, Michael: It’s been a long day missing someone’s hug As the time passes by let’s listen to music and put on some earplugs Been thinking of it we cannot tell people to come back Let’s admit it they will never be back Let us face the truth look forward and dream new You will realize the aftermath that someone will be there for you I will try to sleep very well And I hope that you also feel well

Campo, Maria Beatriz: I keep having these nightmares, Where I find myself standing next to you. Caressing your body with the sheet of blue, Hoping it was all true. When future you was already new, I'll be standing next to you and comfort you.

Cunanan, Hannah: "CHILDHOOD"

Grey skies, twit twit of birds, rains arrival, Weather bulletin outspread already, Noise from neighbors that keeps you up ready, Someone is playing an instrumental, You were drinking milk and eating cereal, Enjoys the show that's airing already, Wearing pajamas feel full already, These are the days when it feels magical, Looking back makes me emotional, Realizing everything happened fast, Inblink. of an eye, I'm in reality, Everything remembered feels personal. Remembered how my active interest, Well know I faced.responsibility.

Eco, Karole: Have you ever had nostalgic feeling? Keeping all of the memories in mind When we had the best moments of our lives We did nothing except play and have fun. We were never concerned about a thing, There were no anxieties and issues, Never an uneasiness or a doubt, Had all of the sleep we never asked for, Even the smallest things made us happy. We also had the silliest desires, Believed that everything was possible, Almost nothing can stop us at that point. We should just have seized it while we were there Oh, how I wish I could go back in time.

Gabiola, Arshlee Shereen: "GONE"

Don't blame yourself for things you did before choices, chances, decisions you didn't take memories of all those days, nights are gone just lets not bring the part back anymore Do not do something that you will regret it's hard to live life you cannot reset the past will always remain in the past live life to blast were it will ever-last Before life is so dark, darker than black so weak that can be easily attack an error that I made that caused the crack once it is done there is no going back That existence is long gone and over grow and more on and take things much slower.

Garcia, Glezette: "PRAETERITUM"

As I sit and ponder in the window The rainy weather reminds me the past The sound of rain, I hear from the window The shouts and laughter of the past, all last These streets were once filled with laughter The joy we had, never can we replace When time’s not hard, when our life was better All we think about was our hiding space All the games we used to play till night time Were so precious I still remember them We enjoyed those times, we lost track of time ‘Til mom call us back, those times were a gem We are unable to go back in time The past memories that make us alive.

Mandap, Maxene Valerie: "WINTER NIGHT"

Shall I compare thee to a winter night? As cold as the snow falling in the sky Shouting, trembling, thundering as we fight Little did I know, thy last word's goodbye Yes, thee made me produce a thousand tears Thee made me overthink my decisions Thee made me feel happiness under fear Thee made me experience worst oppression But all these things had happened in the past All these things are buried deep in the ground I am thankful all these things did not last These things are thrown in the water and drowned I grasp the reality that I'm out Of a love that's not really meant to sprout.

Marcelo, Nichole Jay: I remember the past, it is Confirmedly last real life Experience to count it at last. Learned a lot and understood Better and some happen will makep Future healthier. Life is hard but do not quit and learned happen in past

Pangan, Eunice: "ONE GHOSTLY NIGHT"

The wind whistles into the ghostly night; I can still remember those days with pride Silently loud sounds of crickets fireflies; I cannot help but hear the bells of time As I go back to the memory lane, The fire within my heart recalls the days Of where we were youthful, filled with hope When life was simple, when life seems to glow Looking back, I had lived with no regrets, With days of joy and days of blood and sweat Those memories I will forever keep, along with all the people I spent with; In this ghostly night, the sun in slumber Till last breath, my glimpse of past won’t falter.

Payumo, Willian Cel: My former life is no longer, The Flying hours nad passed like transient dreams given over, Whose images are kept in store, From memory alone.

What will happen in the future is not, Then now can it be mine? My only concern is win the present moment, Wake up in a new life never remember your past life.

Do you ever wish you nod a key? That allowed you to do what you wanted to do, Discover some luck that's meant just for you, To actually be where you want to be.

Avoid wasting time by creating a plan, Do your best grab life while you can.

Simsuangco, Gabriel: Oh, the future I fear very much so. Clouded and muddied, a feeling in my eyes. Dear optimism, I hold onto you though. Sorrow, nothing, false hopes and lies. But what else do I have, hopes to bear? This blindness of mine.. Pity could never drown the sorrow. Hoping that things will be better in time. Humming those moody blues. Finding something to hold onto. But these sorrows, far too true. I just want a future to cling to.

The future is a monster, But she is a friend. Talk about the past But the past, it never ends.

Fair lady of the past, I know you will haunt me until future's last.

oh my god i am SO in love with lord of the dance. however i never think about michael flatley first when i think about it because in my mind gillian norris is the most important and iconic person in that show.

i used to have it on a dvd when i was little, i must have watched it like two times a week and never got bored of it. it was the original 1996 dublin stage, the only version i enjoy to its maximum capacity. fun fact, they came to bucharest in 2014, and i wanted to go, but ultimately didn't. and thank god for that. i found clips on youtube after that and everything was worse: the music, the outfits, the acting.

fortunately there are clips on youtube of the 1996 dublin stage too, as well as the whole show. i still sometimes watch them. and after much consideration, i have come to the conclusion that fiery nights, warriors and gypsy (however unfortunate the name) are my favorite numbers, in that respective order.

fiery nights wouldn't be what it is without the soundtrack, that fucking saxophone. i saw somebody say that that is what sex sounds like. i have heard the same thing said about ateez's desire outro. these things are so unrelated right now but i honestly can hear it and feel it for both and it makes so much sense to describe them that way. gillian norris is so mesmerizing, so captivating, like i am fucking seduced through the screen. and when she starts dancing with the guy who plays don dorcha and gives him that smile you can only see a brief second in shitty 360p quality? i am positively passed out. after they leave the stage the rest of the performance is kinda meh because the other girls don't give me any passion, much less the guys. they're lucky the choreography is so tight tho.

warriors is a fucking experience from start to finish. the "oh shit it's going down" vibe right from the beginning, the intensity of the dance, the speed, the accuracy, the synchronization, the piercing looks of don dorcha - i am both horny and intimidated. today's warriors number doesn't even come close to sparking up the same kind of heavy feeling the original did. it's so... cartoonish.

and finally, gypsy, which was my og favorite. i really wonder how i did not turn out bisexual, because gillian norris definitely made me question some things. i was always impressed with her elegance and power of seduction, my dream was to be sexy like her but also to jump as high as her for my birdies. sadly i never did learn irish dance. also i really wanted her hair.

special shoutout goes to breakout tho. i don't even know if i love the first half of it or the second more. bernadette flynn as the leader all the other girls follow, girlboss moment. her unspoken duel with gillian, exchanging those fucking murderous looks, i was SO there for it!!! again, watching today's version, it's like watching a bad disney channel series. there's no seriousness to it, no commitment, it's like putting on a puppet show for kids, which this musical is so not.

ugh, i'm probably gonna go and watch some scenes again. thank you for letting me rant in your inbox!! i've only really shared my interest and love for this show with my parents, who only like it a moderate amount (not because they think it's bad but because it's just not something they're passionate about) and my ex, who couldn't care less about dance and acting and who wasn't really interested in it.

if it's okay, let me ask, how did you get interested in stage performances, dance, theatre, all that jazz? for me, it was because i did cheerleading and dance for 5 years when i was little (then i quit because i thought i had it hard in school in 5th grade). i regret not continuing with it so much. and i daresay i was pretty good at it too. oh well, at least the passion for dance remained. it's the main part i got into kpop!!

it's no problem at all!! like i said, this is my virtual pub please come talk about about random things while i serve you a pint!! i love reading about other people's passions, this was lovely!

i only think of michael flatley because he's top billed and also one of the producers so his name is always on it, and also i haven't actually seen the whole show since probably 2005 because it didn't much strike a nerve with me as a kid. i think it was probably because i watched waaaaaayyyy too much cirque. i won't say very much on it but i will say that adolphe saxe knew what he was doing when he unleashed the saxophone on the world and we are still dealing with the repercussions (i say this lovingly as a saxophone player). i'm also a horrible person and i cannot watch any fiddle + flute based musical and not think of the the lord of the rings musical, because i love the lord of the rings musical.

well i got into theatre kind of unintentionally because i thought it might be fun to try doing stage crew for the musical when i started high school and then a year later i was the stage manager. my tragic flaw is that i need to be in a position of knowledge and authority at all times, but i’m slowly getting over it. i liked it so much that i decided at like 14 that it was going to be my career and here i am over a decade later. but i also watched a lot of perfomance and art programming as a child because my parents were weird hippies, so lots of cirque du soleil, a lot of classical ballet, and also shows like toy castle (do not click on this is you are in any way afraid of clowns or frogs) which is mildly horrifying in the way all children's content is mildly horrifying in hindsight but as a child in 2000 i ate that shit with a spoon. i also dated a contemp/ballet dancer in high school and then had a very weird and ethically dubious affair with another ballet dancer in undergrad. it's a long story. it helps that i'm truly obsessed with performance and art in pretty much all its forms and i'm one of those awful people that draws in art galleries and watches shows that i know are going to be bad so i can analyze them and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. kpop was a thing that just happened as a byproduct of being friends with lot of first gen asian immigrants as a kid. i've been around and aware since 2008 but i didn't get that deep into actually following releases until first lockdown because i just didn't have the time. but i'm glad i did, because it's been a really nice hobby!

#fun fact i actually know the production designer of toy castle and have worked very closely with her #she is exactly as insane as you would expect #also yes canadian childrens programming in the 2000s was just like that #look up nanalan if you want to be even more horrified #geniunely im obsessed with the lord of the rings musical it is SO GOOD it didnt deserve to flop!!!#the stage alone.............just the mechanics...........(heart eyes)#galadriel entering lothlorian on aerial silks..........whatever in the mardigras fuck elronds costume was.......#brown haired legolas my beloved.....the uruk hai on pogo stilts......#it is a TRAGEDY that ive never found a boot and there's a grand total of ten (10) minutes of footage of the entire show #surprise!! betcha didnt think i was a lord of the rings fan but haha!! ive fooled you all!!#ive even read the silmarillion!!#i am a huge nerd please adjust your assumptions i am not cool in the slightest #answers #text #non kpop questions

(this is answer to the previous ask. It's gonna be long. I'll try to give you the insight)

Yeah. I mean apart from me there's also this one other guy he's also regular victim like me coz he also broke a rule but he gets bullied by different seniors not the Michael guy gang. And it's not particularly about the gang or the group coz all those seniors are friends with each other so anyone can bully any junior. This guy has a job for calling me when those seniors ask to see me and this guy makes a run to the cafe coz those seniors wants to eat something. He's always running around here and there. I feel bad for him.

There are more than 200 peeps I guess. They had human ethics class when they called me but that time professor wasn't taking their lecture so most of them left but then too there were too many people in there. Yk I told you I'm in Biotech so like this we have all kind of subjects for major like physics, chemistry, maths, statistics, life science and many more and for all these branches we have a common subject called Human ethics which is compulsory for every one. So all of the branches together sit in one big classroom for this subject.

Tbh, I really don't know what that guy wants, I thought maybe I'll avoid him so I won't get in trouble but it happened opposite coz he got seriously pissed after that. That was the most embarrassing day of my life, I remember everything, I got very close to crying. And he never really talks to me but he called me in their class and was like, why are you avoiding me? And I can't say that to his face, so, I said, 'I was not.' And then he listed a few palce where I tried to avoid him and I had no answer to that, it's a long story but he bought that list of slangs that I once wrote and he told me to read the whole list (it has around 70 curse words half which I had to make up on my own. Initially it 50 but afterwards they increased it. I'll get to it later) He told me I had to yell those words until the person sitting on the last bench can hear me. It was brutal. And he was standing right on my head saying, 'I can't hear you,' I would have killed him that day. I got very close to crying. I only made it till 4-5 words. I skipped few days after that day it was the worst thing ever that's how everyone in his year got to know about me.

Yes! I tried to avoid him many times. If I saw him coming I used to changed my path and I think he noticed coz I wasn't subtle at all. And idk what's up with him coz he started playing hide and seek, if he noticed me changing direction or going the long way to avoid him he just used to take the short route and get there before me just to freak me out. And that guy is not even in my line of vision he's way taller than me and I freaked out every time when he used to come in front of me suddenly out of nowhere. I looked okay not a big deal from outside but from inside I always went in emergency mode, my hands used to get cold. Sue me, I have anxiety I can't help it and if someone will act like this I will feel a little afraid or intimidated yk. And after that task of reading the list out loud he stopped. So that was relief. I often think does these people don't have humanity or what. If I was a guy I would never do this to a girl. And yk this bullying part is also a reason why I'm done with guys. Don't be sorry, it's okay I had my fun in school, so I was kinda prepared for this.

I think you didn't get it. It's the weird universal rule going on from ages, we have to give respect to every senior even if they are from other branch. The rules are not made up by any college authority. It's just something that is going on among students, professors doesn't know a thing about it. There are many rules. We have two cafes over here and one of them is strictly reserved for seniors, a junior person cannot step a foot over there.

Yesss! You get me! That's why I was looking. I don't think it's peer pressure. I think that he thinks I don't respect him and I broke the rule. I think he got more confident after his friends knew. And I think his friends told people of his class that's why they all knew my name.

All my friends and classmates already knows about it. They can't do anything coz those people are their seniors too, and we are supposed to do as they say. One of my tired tried to help me coz she knew someone in the senior batch and that person talked to that Michael guy about me and guess what? They just doubled the slangs. And I had to prove my innocence and I bargained but then too I ended up writing 70. So there's that.

(it’s alright, write ten pages even if you’ve got to)

it’s all cause of those stupid rules!!😡 oh my, poor kid:(( y’all have feet, go and get your own food from the cafeteria! i’m starting to feel bad for him too, he’s just trying to get along with his college years, let him be!!

ohh, so you get stuck in the same hall for a whole lecture? that’s just nice🤦🏻‍♀️

yeah that makes absolutely no sense btw🤨?? baby noo😭 I wish I had been there for you!! umm we have nothing between us, I can avoid you if I want to?? jeez I wanna punch this dude so bad rn. ok srsly what is up with that list omg. YOURE JOKING????? HE MADE YOU DO THAT??? IS HE INSANE OR INSANE??!!? im so so so sorry!!!! that just sounds like an awful way to get introduced to the rest of the school, plus I can’t imagine the toll it had on you!!😭😭

???? what a creep??? I mean that’d be fine if it was a friend, but what the hell does he want?? you have a right to be intimidated, and it’s not your fault you’ve got anxiety, can’t he get it?!! either he finally saw that his actions are that of the devil and felt sorry for you and stopped, which I doubt very much. or someone in that class saw and made him stop afterwards. he shouldn’t be doing this to anyone, regardless!! this is your actual villain origin story against guys, and honestly, I can very clearly see why now. even though, this doesn’t mean that you deserved an ounce of it!

how is that supposed to be any better?? and fine I can show respect, but to the point of calling them maam and sir, is this a school or military grounds? yeah okay that reserved spot thing is passable.

ah okay... a shitty dude followed by shitty friends... how respectful.

honestly thank god I don’t attend your college, no offense. under whose authority am I to blindly do as they say, I don’t get it, I really don’t! oh that’s just great😫 props to them for talking to him though. that just sucks, I am incredibly sorry! :(((

🎶honey I'll be your shelter, I'll be the one to take you through the night. whenever you need shelter, I'll make everything alright, make everything alright🎶💕

#me: this 🤏🏼 close to yeeting him into space #thee lover anon saga <3

Today is the day. On this day in 2020, two legends collide. On the outskirts of a small town in New England, silence falls upon a large field. Even the animals in the surrounding woods wait with bated breath, as they prepare for what they are to witness. On one side of the field, the Leto stands -- his family of fellow cosmic entities behind him. On the other side, The Claus and his followers of reindeer and elves prepare to charge. This is it. The moment is now.

The Claus and his followers begin the charge -- Rudolph the Red in front, leading the slay. The Leto and the Cosmic Entities take pause. They watch as The Claus army approaches closer and closer, but still they pause. As the Claus army reaches the midway point of the field, the Leto raises his fist in the air and screams, "This is war!" At that moment, the Cosmic Entities take charge.

The two armies collide in a crashing wave of bodies. Elves are thrown to the side, as their size shows to be an immediate disadvantage at first. Rudolph the Red takes first blood, as his antlers easily slide through the ribcage of Kid Rock, puncturing his heart. As Kid Rock falls to the ground, he screams out in agony, "Bawitdaba!"

The sound of the agonizing scream throws Rudolph a few yards away. He feels dazed, and his ears ring with pain. The only thing he can hear and think of is the word, "Bawitdaba."

The Cosmics and the Claus Army continue to battle on. The reindeer continue to fall, but there is a threat that the Cosmics forgot about. Because of their size, the Cosmics didn't think to check on the elves that were thrown away during the first collision. The elves begin to sneak into the battle. The Cosmics begin to feel themselves fall to the ground as the elves cut them at the ankles.

The Leto makes his way to The Claus, but is distracted when he sees his friends falling to the ground. This was all his fault. He brought them to this. He goes to run towards them but is stopped. It is Michael Cera.

"No. You can't help them. They knew what they were coming for. Now finish it. I will go help them."

The Leto nods his head. "Thank you, good friend."

"Of course."

The Leto runs back towards the Claus, not paying attention to Michael Cera. Cera smiles, as he flips a silver coin in the air. "I'm sorry, good friend. But things haven't been fun for way too long."

Seeing the coin flipping in the air as their signal, the reindeer that were hiding amongst the trees surrounding the field charge in. They trample through the field, their antlers finding any flesh to glide in.

Pumpkin pieces fly in the air, as a multitude of hooves slam down upon the head of Sam Rockwell.

Oldman, seeing his creation and his friend dying upon the ground, tries to get up to help Rockwell, when one antler slides into his calf, and another antler slides into the thigh of his other leg. As he falls to the ground, he feels yet another antler glide cleanly into the side of his torso. He can taste blood in his mouth. He had never tasted blood before.

Kunis continues to fight, as a rush of deer after deer slam into her. Kunis falls to the ground, as Rudolph the Red slowly approaches. Rudolph continuously shakes his head, trying to get the Bawitdaba to break free. Kunis stands up, as Rudolph is six feet away, facing the Red at last. The two fight fiercely -- each blocking the other's attack, as if knowing a pre-arranged choreography. Finally, Kunis lands a punch to Rudolph's nose, making it bleed with a bright red. She raises her hands in the air to deliver her final blow when she feels a small blade slide into her side. She turns to see Cera looking at her. "I'm sorry Mila, but you just aren't fun enough."

Distracted, Kunis doesn't see Rudolph stand and charge towards her. She only feels his antlers slide into her back.

The Leto approaches The Claus. The two begin throwing fist and foot, each attack landing upon the other. Neither trying to block the other's attack, fully relying on who can take the most pain, and deliver the strongest attack. Finally, it is The Claus that falls to the ground.

The Leto crouches down on top of the Claus and raises his two pounding fist above his head as one unit. "I sure hope you delivered all of your presents old man."

"All but one, Leto. It's a day late, but it is in my jacket pocket."

Leto looks confused but brings his hands down and starts going through the pockets of The Claus. He pulls out a small package. Written upon it are the words "Happy Birthday Jared". Inside is a necklace locket that he can't open.

"How did you know it was my birthday yesterday?"

"Because it was also my birthday."

The Claus lowers his fake beard, and the Leto is looking at himself.

***

It was hard for Nicolas Leto growing up. His twin brother created a world, and Nicolas didn't know what his place was in such a world. His brother was too consumed in his creation to even know that Nicolas existed. Finally, Nicolas would create something of his own.

Nicolas moved to the North Pole, and built himself a family. He was happy, but he saw that the world outside the Pole was hurting. Leto created the world, but the world created war, poverty, and despair. Seeing that his twin brother was too consumed to acknowledge those things that his creations had created, he felt it was up to him to help.

Every year, the day before his birthday, he would travel the world and deliver gifts to all the children of the world. He would bring magic back into their lives. He would show them that there is kindness in the world.

Year after year, he would deliver the gift, and year after year, the parents of the children would take credit for the gifts. But he didn't care. Then, groups of people started demanding that no one talk about Nicolas at all. They said that Nicolas was trying to bribe the children away from Leto. So, in time, Nicolas became a simple tale that children would tell each other in secret, as the parents sang their praises to Leto, and continued to take the credit for all Nicolas had done.

As time went forward, Nicolas finally broke. He pushed his family of elves harder to create gifts, as he became too consumed with vengeance to create any gifts himself. He changed his last name to Claus to erase his connection to his twin brother Jared. He would still deliver gifts to the innocent children who were good through the year, but the adults and the Leto would only receive pain.

***

"I don't know what to say." The Leto gets up and backs away.

"You took away my purpose, brother. You created the world and everything in it. Why did you have to take the one thing I created?"

"I don't kn..." the Leto becomes distracted when he looks towards the field and sees the sights before him. His friends laying in blood. Reindeer and elves continuously beating those still remotely moving. All was lost. If his friends were to die, he would die with them.

Leto begins charging in towards the madness, but just before he reaches them, he hears it. It is the sound of a laughing mouse. A mouse laughing with maniacal intent.

Over a hill, the Disney creatures charge in, and start ripping the reindeer and elves apart. It is absolute mayhem. Then, as quick as they came, they leave. Leto looks up upon the hill and sees his old friend, Walt. Walt looks down, gives a slight wink and a nod, turns and walks away with his machine body.

The Leto is left in a sea of blood and bodies. Kid Rock is dead. Sam Rockwell is dead. Gary Oldman and Kunis are both badly beaten, and are losing a lot of blood, but they are still alive. Thank Leto, they are alive. Michael Cera is missing. Leto turns towards his twin brother, but he is gone. The war was over. The Leto lost some family and he lost some friends. He is still holding on to the locket he cannot open, and places it in his pocket. The locket will have to be for another day.

A few miles away, The Claus and Rudolph the Red limp towards their home in the North. Behind them, Cera is flipping his silver coin, telling them how he killed the dinosaurs and how they were going to have so much fun.

The end...?

If I'm doing all the music asks, so are you. I CHALLENGE THEE.

It has been a calendar year since you sent me this. SORRY. You know I’ve been busy. @groovyaviator also asked me Daft Punk, Fall Out Boy, and Led Zeppelin. Let’s do this.

- Alabama Shakes: Favorite female lead? Aurora.

- Arctic Monkeys: Favorite male lead? Chris Martin.

- Ben Howard: An album that reminds you of your favorite season? Aurora’s All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, because it reminds me of when of that moment in late October when you realize winter is on its way. But I’m also a fan of our weather right now, so for that I would assign Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto. And I’ve also come to favor the weather around my birthday midsummer, and for that I’d assign The Golden Age by Woodkid.

- Bon Iver: An album you could listen to on repeat for years? Coldplay’s X&Y. Regina Spektor’s Far, as well as What We Saw from the Cheap Seats. alt-J’s entire discography. The How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack by John Powell. The soundtrack to Jane Eyre by Dario Marianelli. The Golden Age by Woodkid.

- Bastille: A song that brings back bad memories? Already Over by Red. Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood. The Ballad of John Hurt by alt-J, but the memory is more bittersweet than bad. Yes by Coldplay, tied closely with Two Birds by Regina Spektor.

- The Beatles: An artist you think is overrated? Ed Sheeran.

- Coldplay: A band you used to love but never listen to anymore? Coldplay, right now! I still love them very much but I’ve been listening to a lot of other stuff. Also, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence… I went through a phase.

- Daft Punk: Favorite instrumental (no vocals) song? The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Michael Nyman. It also is my favorite song, but specifically the composer’s cut version.

- Dawes: A genre of music you absolutely cannot stand? I really have a hard time with country. I’m sorry, Becca.

- Electric Light Orchestra: Favorite song to help you cheer up? I have a 75 song playlist of these, my dude. Rasputin by Boney M. reminds me of a ridiculous time in high school and never fails to make me smile, but most of the time my go-to is Everything’s Not Lost by Coldplay.

- Elliot Smith: Favorite song to listen to when you’re sad? I tend not to listen to a lot of music when I’m sad… but maybe the cover of Where Is My Mind by Bandit.

- Evanesence: Ever done drugs and listened to music? Lol no.

- Fun.: Put your music on shuffle and list the first three. Whatever happens, I blame Spotify: 1) Dust by Hans Zimmer (Interstellar soundtrack), 2) The Kill Ring by John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack), 3) Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood. I only can recall listening to the middle one because I have a habit of saving albums to listen to later.

- Fall Out Boy: First album you fell in love with? Vocal: Linkin Park’s Meteora. Instrumental: John Williams’s soundtrack for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

- Green Day: A song that makes you feel rebellious? Boss Ass Bitch by PTAF!

- George Ezra: A song that reminds you of a past lover? I don’t really have any of those, but you can refer to the bad memory response because it’s basically the same list.

- Genesis: A band that your parents always played when you were little? The Rolling Stones, because if it’s parents plural my dad is the automatic DJ and he plays classic rock exclusively.

- Hozier: Favorite brand new artist? How new is new? Brand new to me right now are Tom Odell and Glass Animals but both have been at it since 2012.

- Iron & Wine?: What song would you want to be played at your wedding?“ Sleeping At Last did a cover of The Proclaimer’s I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) that I absolutely fucking love. But I would rather do an upbeat surprise choreographed dance number for my first dance because I don’t know how I feel about sharing an intimate moment with my new spouse in front of all those people.

- Imagine Dragons: What song would you want played at your funeral? At the beginning? Talk by Coldplay. At the end, The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Michael Nyman.

- Jack Johnson: A song you heard in a movie and fell in love with? Hans Zimmer’s song Time off of the Inception soundtrack.

- Joy Division: Your least favorite album by your favorite band? Ghost Stories by Coldplay because it’s sad and boring. Probably also their newest album but I’ve refused to sit through all of it so I don’t know.

- The Killers: Name your top three songs of all time. So many repeating answers tonight! The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Michael Nyman; Talk by Coldplay; Aurora’s cover of Nature Boy.

- Linkin Park: Suggest a band you think I might like. @beccathevampyreslayer I think you’d really enjoy How to be a Human Being by Glass Animals because it’s equal parts dark and upbeat. @groovyaviator, listen to The Golden Age by Woodkid. Becca can tell you that I’ve loved that album for years because the artist is also a director and intentionally writes his music to make listeners feel like the hero of a film.

- Led Zeppelin: Favorite album art? HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE. The Golden Age by Woodkid. Literally any art featured on an album or EP for Sleeping At Last. The Resistance by Muse. Any artwork featured in EPs or albums by Fleet Foxes. Light & Gold by Eric Whitacre (if one is looking to buy a print for me I’d go with this one). Parachutes by Coldplay. The Lateness Of The Hour by Alex Clare. Anything used by Foster The People.

- Muse: Craziest music video you’ve ever seen? Nothing will ever beat the Turn Down For What music video.

- Mumford & Sons: Favorite cover version of a song you love? Any iteration of Nature Boy by Nat King Cole but especially Aurora’s version. The same can probably also be said for The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel, but nothing beats the original.

- The National: A song you sing in the shower? (I Won’t Say) I’m in Love from Hercules!

- Nathaniel Rateliff: A song that never fails to make you emotional? Laughing With by Regina Spektor has like a 50% chance of making me cry, as does Coming Back Around off the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack.

- One Direction: Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? I liked both! I think when I was younger I favored NSYNC, but boy bands aren’t really my mode of choice for experiencing ‘90s nostalgia.

- Pink Floyd: You can go back in time to see any band you want. Who would it be? Coldplay when they were touring for X&Y. Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite as its debut.

- Queen: You can meet any band member, living or dead, and hang out with them for 24 hours. Who would it be? Eric Whitacre, who I have met before but definitely didn’t hang out with. He’s a hero of mine because he kind of walked into his hometown university, picked up music super late, and went on to redefine classical music. He was driven by passion, and his lack of early training really shows in the innovation in his work - the man draws PICTURES of his music before even trying to write down notes. And he collaborates with all manner of interesting people, pulling source material from really unconventional places. I’ve been contemplating a major change in life paths for the last year or so and it’s always very heartening to see someone do the same, and especially by sheer force of will.

- Radiohead: Favorite concert you’ve ever been to (or a band you want to see live). I saw Aurora live in November and she changed my life. Marina and the Diamonds was incredible and so was her opening act, Christine and the Queens, who I also love. Regina Spektor was so good live too. And seeing Ke$ha last fall was just a lot of fun. I regret not going to see Coldplay a lot sooner because I’d love to see them in general but I don’t like most of their newest music and I’d really rather hear stuff from Mylo Xyloto and earlier.

- Rihanna: A musician you respect, even if you might not like their music? I don’t really listen to Demi Lovato but I have mad respect for everything she advocates for.

- Roo Panes: Favorite acoustic version of a song? Aurora’s acoustic version of Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). It’s haunting.

- Simon & Garfunkel: Favorite album movie? (Ex. Yellow Submarine, The Wall, Help!, The Graduate) Kill me later but I don’t think I have ever seen one in its entirety. I think I watched Help! with Becca, though.

- Skrillex: What’s the strangest song you have on your iPod right now? Rasputin by Boney M. and Chaccaron Maccaron by El Mundo.

- Tame Impala: A band none of your friends listen to? Aurora, Christine and the Queens, Tom Odell. Becca introduced me to the last one but she doesn’t listen to his discography actively.

- Taylor Swift: Name that one artist that literally makes you so angry you’re willing to throw the damn radio right out the window to make it stop. I’ll never be over the travesty of Robin Thicke. One of my favorite members of being a community advisor was our end of the year celebratory dinner, when the DJ started this song and the whole room stopped dancing and stared and him and I called over, “Please just change the song.” Rape culture is bad, kids.

- U2: A song or album that somehow got onto your iPod but you have no idea where it came from??? Weird. Probably some random movie soundtrack.

- The Vaccines: What are your favorite lyrics? Quote them for me. Do they mean something special to you? “Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can’t your missing piece?” “Are you what you want to be?” “Is this the life you’ve been waiting for?” “Good is better than perfect, scrub ‘til your fingers are bleeding. And I’m crying for things that I tell others to do without crying.” “I want to love you but I don’t know how.” “Are you getting stronger or is time shifting weight?” “Potentially lovely, perpetually human, suspended and open…” “You can’t pin me down!” You might sense a theme here. I think I do.

- Vampire Weekend: A band or artist you follow on Twitter? No Twitter for me, but if I did it’d be Eric Whitacre because his fans send him good music memes and he shares the best of them.

- Vance Joy: An artist where you can never tell what the hell they’re singing? Chevelle and George Ezra.

- Weezer: Favorite old school band? Simon & Garfunkel.

- The xx: A genre/band you’ve been getting into that you never thought you would enjoy? Synthpop.
