I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#Jason Todd#batfamily#it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works#like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over#i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin#and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well#duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd#(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read#went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems#point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam#but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it#jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog#damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH#speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro#wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

Love Theme from House of Leaves
So.
POE.
Tumblr media
Like I said, I don't usually explain the Bad Descriptions from my Bad Description Song Polls. Some of them I work hard on, some of them are just bad puns on the song lyrics or titles or whatever, but ultimately, the bad descriptions aren't really the point. The point is to get a couple people curious about artists they might not have heard before by erasing any preconceptions they might have about the artist, the genre, whatever. It's a goofy little game about my very serious love of music and my genuine desire to get people to experience the joys of just trying something new.
But then there's POE. Right? Specifically, there is Haunted by POE, an album that just straight up every time turns me into a four-hour video by an obsessed YouTuber down a really deep rabbit hole. Which is absolutely fitting, because as it turns out, Haunted comes from the same place as Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves.
You see, POE's real name is Anne Danielewski. Mark is her brother. And, regardless of the protests of the dudes on the MZD forums back in 2004, HoL and Haunted come from the same place -- the death of their father, Tad Danielewski, and their subsequent attempts to reconcile their complicated emotions about their perfectionist father, their estranged mother, and their shared and separate childhoods. The works contrast and complement -- House of Leaves is a labyrinth for the reader to wander; Haunted is a cache of tapes from a lost loved one that both sheds light on the past and casts preconceived notions into doubt. They reference each other (the "Poe T" in HoL, the "growling voice" in "Hey Pretty"), but don't require each other.
Even their creation is tangled. She read his book as he was writing it; he listened to her songs as she recorded them. He read a passage of his book over top of the album's first single when she was told radio was "just not playing women;" she took him on tour with her when she was opening for Depeche Mode. It was from the start a kind of double act.
And then it just wasn't anymore.
If there's a villain in this story, it is -- in a weird twist of foreshadowing -- WarnerMedia. Specifically, it is the disastrous AOL -- Time Warner merger, which saw POE unceremoniously dropped from Time Warner subsidiary Atlantic Records just six weeks after she'd signed a contract with them for three more albums. Copies of second single "Wild" were never sent to radio. Support for the album dried up. The ensuing legal wrangling saw POE's masters sold and resold from one label to another, while POE wound up unable to tour or record under her own pseudonym for years. So while House of Leaves went on to (deserved) classic status, Haunted disappeared.
I am not alone in finding this terrifically unjust. Mark Z. Danielewski himself calls the album "woefully underappreciated." Granted, he's biased, but so am I. I was a POE fan before House of Leaves was published. I discovered HoL through Haunted, although both came in close succession. For me, part of the mystery of the book is how it tangles with the album, how two people can go through the same maze and come out of it in such different locations, the same story told in different languages. But also...
I mean, it's just a hell of an album. Her voice is extraordinary. Her lyrics blend the metaphoric and the extremely literal in terrific ways. The mix of electronica, hip-hop, pop, and experimental is absolutely wired to my tastebuds (there's a reason she wound up invited on tour with the Depeche Mode, after all), and the overall work is plaintive, empowering, heartbreaking, and occasionally terrifying. It's so good. It's so, so good. I would almost be okay if this were her last ever album, it's that good.
I just wish more people were listening to it, you know?
So consider this my call to arms. If you are a House of Leaves fan, or even if you're not, even if the footnotes left you cold, give Haunted a listen. Just a couple songs. Just a taste.
Someone who loves you left a stack of tapes sitting by a boom box for you. Put one in. Press play.

so if you did make a playlist of songs Seb likes, what would it look like?
oooooh, I love this
okay, under the caveat that all of these songs are drawn from my personal playlist and so some (like Az and Li) may not be as varied as they might otherwise be... here's 5 songs that I like that each of the ROs would also have on their own playlist:
Sebastian: he likes punk, metal, alt rock, and probably would have grown up listening to emo too. songs about rebellion are a bonus
Revolution - Authority Zero
Re-Education (Through Labor) - Rise Against
Mayhem - Halestorm
Are We the Waiting / St. Jimmy - Green Day
Cancer - Sick Puppies
Li: their music is very eclectic. it's pretty much just anything that gets their attention, but a lot of it is either not in English or is by obscure bands no one's ever heard of. also enjoys anything with an unusual beat
Senzafine - Lacuna Coil
Machi Bhasad - Bloodywood
Weak - Skunk Anansie
Sleep to Dream - Fiona Apple
Yuve Yuve Yu - The HU
Rory: millennial dad rock. also classic dad rock. just... the daddest playlist ever. songs to drive cross-country on your motorcycle to.
Grand Theft Autumn - Fall Out Boy
Way Away - Yellowcard
Hemorrhage (In My Hands) - Fuel
Wherever I May Roam - Metallica
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
Kana: blues, baby. blues, soul, roots rock, funk, jazz. their playlist is my personal favorite
Holy Ghost Fire - Larkin Poe
Save Me - Danielle Nicole
No Angels - Samantha Fish
Rock & Roll - Christone “Kingfish” Ingram
When My Train Pulls In - Gary Clark Jr.
Azalea: no genres, just vibes. her playlist is absolutely unpredictable, she listens to anything and everything. a lot of country, rap, and indie/folk stuff, but I... don't have much of those on my playlist.
Uncharted - Sara Bareilles
Ride - Twenty One Pilots
Hey Pretty - Poe
A Poem For Byzantium - Delerium
Virgin State of Mind - K’s Choice

This was the very first song ever written for my Edgar Allan Poe music sub-project, Dead Edgar--and in face the very first complete song I ever wrote, when I was 17 years old.
It was initially inspired by Sarah Jarosz's setting of Annabel Lee, which I loved the sound of, but I always wished that it was more true to the original text of the poem. So I went off and wrote this, which contains the ENTIRE text. Obviously, the poem wasn't originally written to be song lyrics, so fitting it into a semi-conventional song format was a bit of a challenge!

Tbh I never understood the background people— The “All Time Lore” if you will— other than that Lisa is on again off again with Alex, Savannah brings out Rian’s obnoxious side, Camden is a dog, and Zack and Claire are perfectly fine and nice. Like my guess is that Dan and Ricky and the like are usually helping the guys out with music and tour stuff. I’m almost scared to ask who Janelle is because what if that turns out to be a farm animal. I’m assuming she’s a person and also one of the ones in the orbit??
lol honestly just stay at arms length i feel like it’s prob more fun
