Music to Write to Master List
I rely very heavily on music when I'm writing and have curated a handful of playlists over the years and discovered several albums that really help me get into Writing Mode and set the scene. I thought I'd put together a post sharing some of my favorite instrumentals. (These sources are also fantastic for wandering around aimlessly while intensely daydreaming, btw. I know this from personal experience)
Everything under a cut, since this will be long. All included links will redirect to Spotify, but I'll include titles and artists so they can be found elsewhere.
I AM CRAFTING AN ENTIRE CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE IN MY HEAD, AND I NEED THE SOUNDTRACK TO BE...
Full of beauty/emotion/hope
• The Musical Journey by Jonas B. Ingebretsen: cannot stress enough how much I love this one. It's the entire hero's journey in a single album. It is PERFECT for sending your little Mind Blorbos on a quest. Highly recommend listening to it in order and all the way through. His recent album, The Musical Journey Pt 2 is also great.
• Pinnacle by Steven Coltart and Marcus Warner: Some gorgeous music in here. In particular, "Stories of Hope" and "Earth" are two of my favorites.
• Coming Home by Soundcritters
• The First Five Years by Denny Schneidemesser
• Emotion by Keith Merrill
• Unfolding Beauty by Stephen Tait & Tom Tideway
• Letters From Earth by Colossal Trailer Music
Tinged with sadness and full of longing
• A Way Home and The Traveler by Omar Raafat
• Disaster is Restless by The Defiant Heart
• Better by Now and Somewhere Else by From Somewhere Quiet
• Drift Ten by The Echelon Effect
• The Stories We Forgot by Andreas Kubler
• Believe by James Paget
Jam-packed with action
• Epic Action: Fight to the Last Ship, Distorted: Rock and a Hard Place, Strength to Believe, and Blaze of Glory by Epic Score: these are just 4 of the over 40 albums they have, so seriously, check them out for all your action and adventure needs. The Rock and a Hard Place one is a top fave of mine.
• Grimoire by Soundcritters
• Time Traveller by Peter Roe
• Future Heroes III by Future Heroes
Rife with crimes/mysteries/secret missions
• Crimescene by Soundcritters
• The Truth Has Been Redacted and Conviction by Luke Richards
• Crime Thriller Score by Dylan Love
• Mission Tension 1 and Mission Tension 2 by Stephen Tait
• Mystery Solved: Film Noir Detective Jazz by Various Artists
Filled with pirates/generally take place on the water
• Drowning Abyss by Colossal Trailer Music
• Set Sail for the Golden Age by Anti Martikainen
• Oceans by Marcus Warner
Whimsical/weird
• Pizz and Pieces 2 and Pizz and Pieces 3 by Thomas Howe, Stephen Tait, and Tom Tideway: Please listen to these, please please they are so delightful and bouncy and perfect for characters Partaking in Shenanigans
• Awkward Comedy Beds also by Stephen Tait and Thomas Howe: I have no idea what that title means but the music is amazing and silly plz listen
• Pomp and Whimsy and Pomp and Whimsy 2 by Howe/Tait (from above) and Alexander Rudd: for when you want silly antics but like...more proper. "Mischief at the Manor" and "A Royal Kerfuffle" delight me.
• You know what? This whole list is from these same artists, so just check it all out. Special shout out to How Very British and Cheeky Beats
Yeehaw! Giddyup! and so on
• High Noon: Vintage Cowboy Music of the Old West by Various Artists
• Vagabond by Gary O'Slide
• Americana Blues and Rock by Thomas Howe and Stephen Tait
Back in Time Babeyyy
• Vintage Jazz Instrumental by Vintage Cafe
• 40s Instrumental Music by 40s Instrumental Music (lol)
• Instrumental Love Songs of the 50s by Various Artists
• 50s and 60s Wild Guitar Instrumentals by Various Artists
• 60s Instrumentals for Dances and Groovers by Various Artists
• 70s Instrumental Greatest Hits by Various Artists
• 80s Instrumental Greatest Hits by Various Artists
Sorry, no 90s because I didn't like any of the instrumental collections
BONUS!
• Music That Hurts by Me: a collection of some of my favorite instrumental pieces that make me feel like I've been punched in the gut and am being turned inside out. But you know. In a good way. Favorites include "Sometimes" by Goldmund, "Places I Remember" by Kristoffer Wallin, and "Stop Everything! It's Snowing" by Good Weather for an Airstrike (that last one in particular is good at making me sob for some reason)
• Writing by Me: This is my gigantic writing playlist that contains a huge mix of some of my favorite "mellow" instrumentals. Many of the above listed artists are on it, but it contains, um...a whole lot more. It's 102 hours long, and has assisted me through many a writing session over the years.
And there you go. I hope that other writers & daydreamers find some things they can take from here and add to their own playlists :)

So I was tagged by @ultimaid to list 10 songs I’ve been listening to lately, and as you all know I cannot resist the siren song (lol) of talking about music, so here we go
1.
Tabun Kaze is so good I am currently listening to this on repeat because I’m pretty sure it will fix me, for real I cannot stress enough how fuckin awesome this song is please someone listen to it and agree with me. Also prime blorbo music I’m just saying.
2.
Shin Takara Jima was my top song of 2022 and I only started listening to it in like, October if that’s any indication of how many times I looped it
3.
Hot take the scramble is actually way better than the original and that’s saying something because the original p5 ost was bomb as hell
4.
Seriously I would like to congratulate everyone involved in the making of this ost because it’s so good Jesus Christ
5.
Hey can anyone tell what album I’ve been listening to a lot recently? I bet you can’t.
6.
I have yet to play the game but in true Atlus Sound Team fashion, the music is very good
7.
Never underestimate comedy music because sometimes it’s actually incredible
8.
Look I loved this song in like 2015 when it first came out and I just recently discovered the remastered version and I just 🤷 I dunno man it rules
9.
Also an incredible blorbo song if you like imagining your little guys in situations and also love sci-fi (because I know I do)
10.
And of course no music list of mine is complete without MCR, and special mention for this song in particular because I like to listen to it on repeat and picture the persona 5 animatic that I’ll never be able to make but is so good in my head
Thanks for tagging me bestie you know I love a good indulgent music ramble, so I’ll tag @gh0str3c0rd3r @macoisinantartica @agalnamedlunasea @bare1ythere if y’all so desire

Last night I had the strangest dream of all.
Okay look, usually I get so very hyped for a new album and listen it through once or twice on release day, so believe me when I say that this one hits so good I’ve already racked up over 100 scrobbles and that’s with last.fm messing up and not counting my midnight release listening session.
It’s experimental in all the right places, still has the Waterparks sound we’ve all come to know and love but just developed through and Waterparks is starting to quickly get on Enter Shikari’s level of being able to experiment with genres in every single song and make it work.
Besides the genre-fuckery I also really love how Awsten writes about his struggles with mental health, gaining fame and dealing with fandom. The latter is especially interesting since a lot of artists have alluded to it, whether by carefully chosen words or metaphors (Stephen King’s Misery is a good example and also explicitly referenced in Violet!), but Awsten just goes in and dissects it exquisitely without mincing words.
FFO: Poppunk/hiphop genre-fuckery with electronic elements, hard-hitting lyrics, Coldplay if you’d like them to say the 'fuck’ word
these are your Greatest Hits

A Prompt for a Romp by Timid Mew
A bunch of short stories compressed together in one big pile. All of which are EreMika and AruAni.
Across Realities by BladeOfRain
Eren stands on Paradis Island as its saviour. Yet he could not help but question if the sacrifices he had made were worth it. They were free, but his demons still haunted him.

Came Out Swinging by fevversinherhair
Nine months ago, Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackerman fought for the first time. Eren pursues his MMA career, Mikasa goes off to college. When his first big amateur match brings them back together, old memories and new feelings muddle the issue.
Encounters by rainycliff213
Mikasa had not expected to find a creature like him, supposedly extinct for millennia, wandering in the same woods as her. The monsters had for centuries terrorized humanity, and it seemed she was the next victim.
Yet, after her escape, it seemed that neither the princess nor the monster could shake their encounter.

My Mind Turns Your Life Into Folklore by ygrittewildthing @ackermanstyle
Historia Reiss could not have approached Mikasa Ackerman with the idea of joining a band at a better time. After a falling out with Armin Arlert and Eren Jaeger, Mikasa decides to take her up on her offer joining alongside Ymir Langnar (bassist), Sasha Blouse (drummer), and Annie Leonhart (guitarist). With their new keyboard player and lyricist, they set off on a journey that takes them away from their hometown. After winning the battle of the bands, they scored a record deal. As they set out to record their first album, their past begins to catch up to them.
my most beloved by misswongs
Within the false reality he's created, in a cabin that encompasses all of the selfish desires he'll never have, Eren makes sure Mikasa is happy. She’s here, and for a quiet, fleeting eternity, she’s his.
Mysterium by dialectus @dialectus
She sees him change, he sees her grow. After discovering a piece of the world to call their own, two troubled souls find solace in each other
Never again by iliankasmoulinka91 @ili-akkaman
On the verge of death, they both regret what could have been but was never. But there is always an afterlife.
Oath by StormyInk
She didn't want to leave Eren but her past had caught up with her and she refused to let those shadowy fingers reach him, refusing to keep putting him in danger, even if it meant tearing herself out of his life. "Are you coming?" Levi asked her & she looked away from the boy who'd saved her life all those years ago. It was time to keep the oath she'd made. "Yes. I am."
On a Beautiful Mountainside, I Love You by sentimentalblue @isayamasideblog
How easy it was to run. Runaways. That’s what they are.
Sight Beyond Sight by Timid Mew
Mikasa ponders over the loss of her sight, making her feel isolated and detached. Eren, however, quickly shows her that even though she's lost the use of her eyes, she still has him.
Somewhere Impossible and Lovely by rainycliff213
Could they escape it all, if they ran away? Would a life in peace be worth it?
Stress Relief by Pepin-Bones
Soldiers lead stressful lives, which means they need ways to unwind and cope with the stress of what they see and what they do - sometimes in unconventional ways. But Eren thinks it's ridiculous, or at least he did...
Teenagers by theothardus
In a world of no Titans, they would be normal, and normal teenagers might snuggle up, and Mikasa might be the one to make the first move.
The Journey by adieemus
Running away to the edge of the world with her lover, makes a soldier wonder how to get back living in her own body, after holding another in her arms for one night.
The Life I Wished For You by Timid Mew
Eren never expected to find a woman tucked away in the dark depths of a deep cave when finding shelter from the rain. He also never expected her to be a mythical creature only depicted in books.
the way home by bacondestiny @@inbothourhandsgloria
Eren crosses the ocean on the backs of his Colossals.
They can swim; he cannot. This body is too huge, too dense. He has arms but they’re useless. He has legs but they drag after him. He scuttles along the ground on his hundreds of protruding ribs. He feels them puncture the soil, the sand. Rocks scrape against the exposed bone, and when he stands on the blisteringly hot exposed muscle of his Titans, the water steaming up around, it would be enough to char if it weren’t for his healing. He’s kept on the brink of burning, unable to let the heat kill his nerves.
It hurts.
But it only lasts a few hours.
And while the steam still burns, while the pressure on the points of his ribs is odd and painful, now, it is time for others to hurt —
—“Mikasa,” Eren says, shaking her awake. “Mikasa, wake up.”
this love we share by MintToy @minttoy
She loves him and he loves her back. On the surface, it seems easy, but she knows in some dark crevice of her mind, that even though love is selfish – escaping to these mountains was selfish – it is also good.
Her source of strength. The root of his humanity.
Time will come when it will teach her to grow, too.
Through Thick and Thin by Moonstars (Flamingo27)
Eren is a university student with a bright future ahead in the field of medicine, very much like his father. At the same time, Mikasa is a student in the same university, specifically in the nursing school. Just like the green-eyed boy, she is very much considered a genius in her department. When the two met, they fell in love and it was widely known in the university for both of the students had a promising future in their respective fields.
However, a sudden revelation had shattered both of their future plans: Mikasa’s unexpected pregnancy.
Till Death Do Us Apart by misswongs
Through the confined expansions of the wood that it's made of, through the grass, the trees, the birds soaring in the skies, they feel each other. They exist for one another, holding on to whatever is left of their fragmented bodies and withered souls—for everyone will be bone and ashes soon but they're still here, still flesh and blood, still alive.
Still alive.
And for now, just for now, it's enough.
we'll never be those kids again (but we can try) by rilakkuma5 @uhhstar
She had hoped this would happen differently. In an ideal world, it would have. They’d have been blushing and fumbling. Awkward laughter. Unsure hands. Soft kisses. All of it. In an ideal world, this would have played out like her fantasies—tender and loving.
But the world is ending. For the umpteenth time. She’s lost count.
What Ifs by qeen124
"I love you, Eren."
She gasped as soon as the words came out of her mouth. There was a sense of relief, followed by a wave of panic. She kept her eyes fixed on the ground. Suddenly, she saw his shoes step closer to hers, and felt his fingers lift her chin up, allowing her dark eyes to settle into his.
He didn't speak a word but what he did next was more than enough as a response.
Your one and only Dark Knight by kuchenackerman @kuchenackerman
In the daytime I’m Eren. Just a normal boy with a normal boring life. But there’s something about me that no one knows yet. Emphasis on yet. ‘Cause I have a secret. No, but seriously, can I at least tell her? It's so unfair...

Behave Peaches (Jaehyun x reader)
I made this for a Suho request, but I guess I can rework on this and make it for another member. Here we go
warning : this is kind of steamy, I don’t want my innocent readers to fall into the dark hole, but it’s your choice and risk. suggestive Jaehyun is hot 😏🔥
Everything is still cold, the wind is blowing cool winds, but the streets are red. It’s a pretty scenery, seeing the cold winter starts to turn into a prettier spring-ish season (though not 100% yet, they’re going there). Chinese New Year is around the corner and your lover has invited you over to have dinner with his family. You cannot go home to your homeland and celebrate Chinese New Year with your family, but Jaehyun is here to save your day. You finally finish your nine to five work today and bid farewell for the long holiday to your colleagues. Your phone rings as you step into the lift. Your smile appears when you see the caller ID name. There on your screen is the picture of Jaehyun flashing. You pick up the call, “Hey Jaehyunnie,” you call him by his sweet name.
Jaehyun smiles though you cannot see it, “Hey peaches, I am downstairs already. You’re done with work?” You watch the elevator shows you’re descending from the 12th floor to the basement, where your lover usually picks you up. “Yeah I’m in the lift, you’re here already?” “Yes, I am here. Should I pick you in the lobby?” You chukle, “No need, it’s faster for me to find your car. Okay I’m walking to the car now. I see you!” You still leave the phone on call and run a bit to reach his car. Jaehyun greets you as soon as you make it into his black Maserati. “Hey, you don’t have to run. You might fall and I don’t want you to fall.” He leans in to peck your cheek and you only smile while putting on your seatbelt. “All set, we’re ready to go home. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year eve , I am both excited and nervous.” Jaehyun presses his gas and we move away from the parking lot. He focuses on the road while asking you questions , “Why? We’ll just have dinner.” You roll your eyes, “Yeah with your parents.” He doesn’t seem to get your anxiety, “And?” You close your eyes and take a deep breathe, seriously sometimes he can be the man with a sexy brain, but other times like now he cannot understand basic situation like this. “What if they do not like me.” Your boyfriend grins and extends his right hand to hold your left hand, “They won’t. They’ll love you.”
You groan, “Well that is what all people will say.” The man with the face of an angel squeezes your palm, “To tell you the truth, they have been expecting me to bring you for a dinner since last year, but I just got the chance to bring you tomorrow.” You know Jaehyun is busy last year with his NCT concert and he had to skipped his family dinner last time because he was in the other side of the hemisphere. Tomorrow however, will be the day he officially introduces you to the Jungs. “Calm down okay, why don’t we prepare ourselves first so that tomorrow you’re not nervous.” You want to laugh, but you cant. You’re really nervous but at the same time thinks doing a recital will just make it silly. “Let’s not talk about this. We should enjoy the holiday… I say we start by eating dinner in that sushi place my princess loves.” Jaehyun swerves right and changes lane, your stomach grumbles in anticipation when you hear sushi. “You really know how to treat me like a princess eh?” He clicks his tongue, “That’s the least I can do.” He was right, eating dinner and talking about the busy week over some sushi and sake is a good way to relax. “So, you’re working on your Japanese album? Interesting, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Jaehyun laughs, “I wanted to surprise you, but I can’t hold it back any longer.” “Okay keep it secret, surprise me when the album is out.” He scrunches his nose and steals a kiss from you, “Alright if that is what you want. Shall we go home? You’re quite red.” Well your alcohol tolerance is moderate, but your face will go red after a certain time and Jaehyun knows when to bring you home. You smile and nod, “Okay Yoonoh.” a smirk comes to your face while a blush comes to his. He pays the bill and carefully helps you walk to the car, you’re not drunk but he wants to make sure you did not twist your ankle in that heels. Once the black car enters the royal residence, the automatic gates open and Jaehyun parks his car nicely. Carefully you and Jaehyun enter the house and you sigh in relieve when your feet touch the grounds. “Whew best feeling ever.” Jaehyun just laughs and walks to heat up the room. It’s 5-degree Celcius out there. “You want to shower first?” Jaehyun turns on the water faucet to fill in the tub. You nod your head, “I think I need some me time.” So, like the gentleman he is, he prepares the hot water to your favorite temperature and pours in the stress relieving oils. You bun your hair and strips from the uncomfortable working suit you wore for the whole day. You clean up your make up first with a toner and only in your lingerie you wrap your body in the silk bathrobe.
“Bath is ready,” Jaehyun screams from the toilet, you quickly make your way to the shower, just to see Jaehyun already sitting on the side of the tub with loosen tie and shirt.
You bite your lips, his collar bone peeking from his unbuttoned shirt is enough to make you feel something tingling in your stomach.
“Thank you, why don’t you join me?” You bravely invite him over while you peel off the silk robe and drop them down elegantly.
Jaehyun’s eyes change when he sees what you have underneath the piece of cloth.
“You’re wearing that to work? Laces for works. Sexy.” He quirks his eyebrows.
You shyly nod your head “Well yeah, I kind of ran out of the regular ones. I forgot to do the laundry.”
Jaehyun whistles, “Alright, remember you’re the one inviting me over.”
You did not mind his words, just toss everything off and step into the big tub. You moan in delight when the feel of the hot water hugs your skin and give a slight burning sensation.
“Ah yes, I really need this.” You lean into the side and close your eyes only to be disturbed by Jaehyun’s attempt to enter the tub.
He carefully picks you up, so you’re seated between him and you only close your eyes more when you feel his hardness touching your back.
“Um Jae, you’re-“
He shuts you up with one touch on your neck, you gasp when he whispers into your ear, “Look what you did to me.”
You squirm in his touch; it’s been a while and just a fingertip of his hand on your skin already makes you desire for more.
He kisses you deeply until you’re out of breath. You focus to fill your lungs with air and soft like a whisper, Jaehyun puts his lips next to your ear. His next sentence makes your hair stands.
With his deep voice you can hear his inner beast growling, “You can’t really blame me, can you? You can only blame yourself.” He ghosts a slight hot breath on your sensitive neck and with a smirk Jae kisses you once again, “You did this to me, now you’re responsible for this.”
You know you’re not going to have the recital for tomorrow’s dinner, tonight it’s going to be a long night and you’re not against it.
“Guess I’ll make you crazy tonight.” You smirk to him and you know you’ve woken the wild side of your softie boyfriend once he replies you with, “Behave my peaches.”
the end.

Vin Jin relationship headcanons?
This was a nightmare to make ♡
☆°•°☆ Vinjin in a relationship headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Alright so this boy most likely did have relationships before. Never long ones though, also when he was really young. So it’s not like he cared a lot about the person in it. - When you are young you don’t fully understand the concept of ‘love’. -
- But now? You being his first love? This boy will be very sweet, and also very awkward.
- He does know he loves you, but he doesn’t know how to approach you. He would mostly watch you from far away. It would be cute though, he would hide behind stuff, cheeks as red as a tomato.
- It’s not like this is right behavior at all, but he is the kind of person to tease you when he likes you. He wouldn’t do it to hurt you though.
- He would do it when he notices something new about you. You could be having a new hair style - to give an example, have green bits in your hair. - he would make a remark. ‘Hey, nice one loser. You look like you rolled over in dirty grass.’
- He doesn’t actually think like that, he just wants to let you know that he noticed that something about you changed. It’s something a lot people don’t do, so he would want to be unique for you like that.
- If he notices it upset you though, he will feel bad. He isn’t the man of apologies though. He will be playing with your hair, and try to act playful. “ Aw, come on! You know I was just teasing! “
- If it comes to someone else teasing you, he will straight up kick the person though. He won’t try to make it obvious it’s because he is trying to protect you, but everyone would know.
- I am not going to lie to you, it would take a while for him to make a move. 5-8 months, depending on different factors.
- Honestly, you would have to make the first move, because in his head there are only two options.
- Option one; He gives you roses and tells you about his romantic feelings towards you, then runs away. He takes no chances in getting rejected.
- Option two; He looks away while holding your hand, and asks you on a date. He would only do that if he is really desperate though. He would like you so much that he would get anxious and stressed. His hand would shake. He definitely can’t let you see him like that. He doesn’t want you to think he is some kind of loser.
- In the relationship, he is really sweet tho. It could look annoying to others, but his love language is just not the drippy kind of romance. Don’t get me wrong though, you will definitely feel a lot of love while you are with this boy.
- Once you two in a relationship, he isn’t as shy as he used to be though. He will want to hold your hand, go around halls and just tell other’s “ Hey!! Look! This is my boyfriend/girlfriend/partner! “
- He will definitely be loud about how you two are the greatest couple, and that no one is better than you.
- Knowing this fool, he will definitely go on stage on some school event and just start rapping about you. He would say it’s freestyle, but it really would be something he carefully wrote the lyrics to for days to please you.
- It wouldn’t be the best, but it would come from the bottom of his heart. He just wrote it just for you, which is why it would be special.
- He would definitely love to take pictures of you, doing whatever. It doesn’t matter if you are in your fanciest clothes, or have messy hair and wear your lame ones. He would have pink coloured rose glasses on, you would be beautiful to him no matter what.
- He would definitely has a whole album of you. Depending on the lenght and depth of your relationship, he could have 50 but also 50,000 pictures of you. He sorts them onto different categories. Buys more GB for his phone, just for that purpose.
- It’s not like he would try to be creepy, he really wouldn’t be that kind of boyfriend. He would just really adore you back and forth. He wouldn’t let other people see them.
- It’s not that they would be sensual. They would be really random. You tying your hair up, you taking a bite out of your sandwich, sneezing, vibing on your phone in an oversized shirt. He just really thinks you are the most beautiful person ever.
- Have you ever seen a fool in love? If not, take a look at Vinjin. He would have all kinds of nicknames for you, no matter how ridiculous or sweet they get.
- Sweetheart, angel, shawty, shorty (yes, even if you are not short), babe, baby, ms/mr/other sweetcheeks, pillow lips babe, my other half, my b(eautiful <3), husbando/wifey/love
- He will literally call you anything as long as you like it and/or fine with it.
- It’s not that he doesn’t like rough love though. He actually does. He would love to have playful fights with you. He would never hurt you, but definitely love to pick you up, or playfully hold you down.
- If anyone dares to actually hurt you? Lights off b, Vinjin’s fists are coming straight onto their face.
- I cannot stress this enough but even if he doesn’t look like it, he is the kind of person that tries to be a gentlemen for you. Sounds funny huh?
- But it’s true. He would pull you away from the side of the yard that’s too close to cars, open doors for you, clean seats for you, hold your bag.
- He really wouldn’t mind what others think as long as he can make you happy.
- Talking about looks, he would definitely love to have matching stuff with you. Hats, shoes, sweaters, shirts. Anything.
- The hat is a must though, it would be black, with the text ‘Best Boyfriend In the world’ on it. Yours would be the same, but with your preference of what you would like to be called.
- Others might find it cringey, but Vinjin would love it a lot. He made it just for the two of you, and he won’t let anyone take that special feel away from the experience of it.
- Speaking of special, he would always be worried about the time you two would be spending together. He would absolutely adore and remember each time you two are next to each other, he would be more worried about if you think of it as equally special.
- Due to that, he would do his best so everything is quality time. Painting your nails? He would hype you up. You ask him to help in putting on make up? He would do professional work. Well, try to, at least.
- He would be someone very anxious, but also the type of person that doesn’t like talking about it and rather denyes it. Anxious that he is not good enough, or that you will leave him as soon as you realise he isn’t the best person out there. For you it would be obvious he feels like that though, he would be the most quite at those times, holding you in a way you can’t look at his face.
- He wouldn’t want you to comfort him, give him advice or even reassure him. Just for you to stay there, in his arms, holding onto him and not going anywhere. That would calm him down the most.
- Talking about Vinjin’s bad side; let’s not pretend he doesn’t have any. Everyone does, and he wouldn’t become a better person just because he is in a relationship. He would be motivated to be better though, to impress you. It would have a process to it.
- We all know Vinjin is a bully, and he doesn’t hide that. It also all comes from Jealousy. So whenever he is jealous, he would clearly show that by not being very polite to whomever he views as a treat.
- If you scold him though, he would feel very guilty. So he would spoil you a whole bunch with love.
- Seriously, expect a rap apology, or perhaps flowers.
- END OF PART ONE,
this is stressing me the hell out, so it will get a second part when I will be more mentally stable. ♡

World building is the best tbh. I’m forever world building and now I have several worlds to play in and my neurodivergent brain cannot stay still enough to focus on one lmao. SLOWBURN ROMANCES ARE MY LITERAL JAM LIKE PLS!!! I LOVE THEM!! Also!!!! Concepts!!!! Pls share!!!! I love learning about the worlds of my fave fics and I can hands down say right now that this fic will literally shoot to the top of my list of favourites which means you’ll occupy the top three spots. Sorry to hear that ur feeling rough, so am sending u the biggest hug. I’m not okay but I’m taking care of myself today so that I will be 🧡-🐈‍⬛
alsjfsldkjf i have too many worlds TBH, literally one of the best parts of my 2020 was writing for the classic rock fandom and writing one of my good friend’s ocs alongside mine, like there’s so many different worlds that our two characters have now, i’m like 26k deep into a high school au that i need to get back to at some point, and then i wrote a oneshot abt the high school au but they’re adults, and then there’s also the original timeline, and then there’s the present day in the original timeline where they have kids and i probably care too much about people who aren’t real...... hahaha
OKAY OKAY OKAY HERE WE GO I’LL GIVE KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE ALBUMS AND A FEW SONGS BUT IF U WANT ME TO GO IN DEPTH ON ANY OTHER SONG JUST ASK!!!
yes i have a playlist for each, if you wanna hear how i interpret the vibes of the songs. if you interpret them differently, thats awesome!! i’d love to hear y’all’s opinions on them!!
testing one two - the first ep they release, the song titles are mostly themed (fast forward, press play, pause, rewind), but are mostly things y/n has been working on for a while but never got around to finishing, things they are rather proud of. i see you shiver with... is the first song they wrote specifically for the album, and it’s the last song on the EP because it’s a Rocky Horror reference; i see you shiver with...
a n t i c i p a t i o n - first full album!! the vibe is Hopeful But Hesitant it has all the songs from the ep, plus some new ones!! collabs with youtube musicians troye and dodie, and y/n’s label sets up a collab that turns into a genuine friendship. the breakout dance hit is what else is there to say ft. Troye Sivan, which is about not knowing what to make content about when it feels like you’ve already told the world everything. it featured the prechorus and hook
You, know, ev-ery-thing about me / gave it all for free / my life in HD / So, let’s dance, let me see your hips sway / we’re gonna be okay / what else is there to say?
So say that you love me, say that you love me, say that you love me / let’s die hand in hand. / I’ll tell you I love you, tell you I love you, tell you I love you / supply and demand. 
personally, i also conceptually enjoy srs bsns which is a really upbeat song about how they don’t care if people don’t take them seriously because they know in their heart that what they’re doing is good
hyperfocus - 2nd EP, a pretty substantial departure from their usual style, but also happens to quietly be Corpse’s favourite, and is actually y/n’s most polarising, because it has both the Grammy award winning HEARTBURN and the o brother where art thou which was written partially as a joke to capture a fond moment of them and 5SOS dicking around together in a hotel. written while on tour wit 5SOS, im writing the reader as having ADHD (because I have ADHD and i can do what i want), and the backstory is that they’d changed the medication/dosage they were taking, and as it’s their first full tour, they were under a lot of stress and were in a weird place mentally and emotionally, and hyperfocus is the result of that. i’m going through some stuff has HUGE agoraphobic vibes. 
HEARTBURN has the same vibes as Florence + The Machines’ Howl. It’s about being a demon without saying that or directly implying that unless you know demons real well. This is when the pressure for them to confirm their identity got real bad, and it was their way of working through those emotions.
tear in existence in the shape of a person / when i’m seeing clearly i can’t see myself / world can’t swallow what it can’t get it’s teeth into / got everything i wanted but i ain’t got my health
Got heart-burn--- / I’ll tear me apart / I’ll tear you apart / I’ll tear me apart. 
SCREAM gets rereleased as a remixed single featuring Fall Out Boy the following year. It won the MTV music award for best collaboration in 2018. 
In the time between hyperfocus and working on it, Y/N releases several singles, including a cover of Tell Him by The Exciters to be featured in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. They also take time to sort out their health, do a little bit more YT stuff, and travel internationally to do festivals. 
working on it - is kind of a middle ground between their original stuff, and hyperfocus, like pop-punk meets horror-pop meets whatever you’d classify halsey as. the first three songs were mostly written before the fic starts, so before they’re getting back to YT, but the last three, nightmare scenario, designed to hurt (touch me), and not scared were all written after they’d started hanging out with sykkuno and corpse. 
in-universe, imposter syndrome was originally something else, along the same lines of tired that they’re hiding that they’re a demon, but after meeting corpse nd sykkuno and having people who know, and lowkey being influenced by corpse’s music, the song changes directions, and YO OKAY YO::
I literally am so fucking flattered, my darling friend @bingusmode​ wrote lyrics for imposter syndrome and I’ve been yELLING about them ever since i’ve read them!! (also bunnie is fantastic and lovely in general 10/10)
if you thought you saw me 
i’d think about it twice
cuz while i know i’m naughty
everybody thinks i’m nice
cutest giggles get me
places that i long to be
but it’s not long before
everybody hates me
when you figure out i’m fucked up
you’ll probably think that can’t be right
but babe my image runs to save me
cuz i’m ugly day and night
nothing good about me
not the angel that i seem
cuz i’m a piece of shit
and i’ll ruin your fuckin dreams
i’m an impostor babe
you better run for your life
cuz there’s a bloodlust runnin through me
and you’re dripping off my knife
there’s no one here to save you
cuz you ate up all my lies
so beg me while you can
and draft up all your goodbyes 
if any of y’all are inspired by anything i put out, feel free to take it and run!! you have my blessing!! i am so overwhelmingly flattered by people who like my stuff enough to create because of it, directly or indirectly! lyrics, art, songs, anything!! legit! I love you!!
okay so designed to hurt (touch me) has big House of Memories by Panic! At The Disco vibes, and YES it’s about Corpse. YES it sends mixed messages. YES it has greek myth imagery and YES that imagery is confusing. not sure if any of these sets of lyrics actually go after each other but also idk??
will my fall from grace be graceful / as each move i see you make? / propped up on pedestals side by side / beneath our feet they shake / i’m the only one to hear you ask  / “What have they done to me?” / My boy, your wax throne is sun-drenched / you’ll fall in the name of your legacy.
eyes like yours watched rome burn / while hands like mine lit the pyre / we both heard me say we’d go down in flames / now you’re turning me into a liar / since you smile like that, like you can’t feel the sting / and we both know i can’t feel the fire
been telling myself i’m designed to hurt / but, baby, aren’t we a sight? /
check your reflection, your angles, apollo / you’re icarus in the right light /
we’re on the edge, i’m not scared to fall / we’ll take refuge in the night /
been telling yourself you’re designed to hurt / but, baby, doesn’t this feel right?
also, albumtouralbumtour is a reference to Bohemian Rhapsody.
OKAY AND FINALLY
n o s t a l g i a - the album the reader’s working on during the fic.
literally as i was writing this, bunnie sent through some FIRE lyrics for how the light gets in, (@bingusmode) i am going to be thinking about these on REPEAT for the next MONTH BRUV
little bit of darkness, treat me like a toy 
i got my hopes up and got them destroyed
bitter taste of regret sitting heavy on my tongue
can’t believe i let you convince me that you were the one
sitting here in silence, fabric running thin
petals burning in my lungs and stealing oxygen
embers from a cigarette falling to the floor
god i can’t take anymore
so i stumble to the window and pull the shades
and the moon pours in like you threw a grenade
i can’t understand why
i keep trying
cuz i never seem to win
but having any hope is how the light gets in 
from there, moment before impact ft. Billie Eilish is a club anthem along the lines of bad guy or COPYCAT, bass heavy with a drop that’s out of this world.
powdered pain, i’m in your veins / i’m the sting, the drip, the thing / you’re craving, but you hate to see me misbehaving / i heard my breakdown got you high / it’s true, but baby i can’t lie / i never got that rush, that burn / that makes you feel alive, i had to learn / to pick the slippery slope down which i fell / plan my pitstops on the way to hell / to pick my padding before i spiral / so if i break it’ll be in style
watch my misdirect, now freeze, / notice you can’t see the forest for the trees / you’re so desperate for my demise / but baby, i’ll make you watch me rise.
this is the moment before impact
controlled chaos, crash land / take a breath, trust the plan / i know you hope i’m not okay / you get off on my audio misery
controlled chaos, crash land / take a breath, trust the plan / i need you to know i want it this way / my breakdown won me a grammy
and this is the moment before impact
ur my favourite - interlude ft. sykkuno is probably one of my favourites, it’s just really soft, just a snippet of a conversation between the reader and sykkuno, maybe one of them told a joke and they both just sound real happy and sweet. its nice. it’s a nice moment.
means something is also for sykkuno!! it’s about how good-strange it is to be open and honest with friends, and how they usually aren’t but they’re glad they can be open and honest with him!!
meanwhile, i don’t think about u - interlude ft. CORPSE is a phonecall between corpse & the reader right after they announce they’re going to feature on acting like that, where corpse asks if they do this sort of thing to spite him, to which the reader responds ‘do i consider you when i’m making decisions about my career? no, corpse, actually i don’t think about you at all’ which then directly contrasts the song that ends the album, which is (how it feels to be) beautiful fireworks, which is essentially ‘i know how hard it is to exist like this, to be the centre of attention, to give off light and bring people joy, even when you’re in pain. i’m here for you. i love you.’
okay, i swear im done now, i’ll get back to writing the fic! (also i cannot BELIVE i managed to figure out how to embed those playlists but im so happy) edit: it didn’t actually work when i posted the ask, so anyways im sorry but y’all are abt to be spammed with playlists because i care too much abt this fic

I just have to add to your discussion.
(For context I am an actual fashion styling student, so I hope you can understand where I am coming from and that I don't hate stray kids, I do love them, just their styling is really pissing me off)
Their styling is just getting so mainstream and bizarre normalisation of skin showing and selling any artist using sex appeal
If the skin showing and styling were choices made by the members themselves, we'd know, and would clearly see their style. But it feels as if to the stray kids' promotional team, all they can think of gaining fast popularity,,, and hence their styling is getting more dragged and stretched and the concept of the album is kind of lost(?)
And the styling is also getting more ridiculous, in terms of what they are wearing, and what styles and cuts their hair are gonna be
Like Felix's extensions could have been used so much better, because honestly it would look nice if done properly and how Chan's hair is looking as if he got frustrated and drunkenly cut his hair
anon you have successfully made me laugh with the "chan got frustrated and drunkenly cut his hair" line it shall forever be a meme in blueprint han history <333 😂
Also this !!! I cannot stress this enough so much this is like, exactly what I've been trying to convey shortened and perfectly summed up. It’s like after Clio (which at least somewhat fit the concept) and Wolfgang (which,,,, is a whole other can of worms) they realised that sex appeal was the fastest way to get fans drooling and go crazy over the idols body and they're implementing it wherever they possibly can? And I agree on the mainstream last, the stylists really underwhelmed me this time. Fuck side effects had better photos than this and back door is crying in a dusty corner after seeing these photos.
And your point about how we'd see the members style ! Couldn't agree more. Its so obviously a marketing ploy to gain chartings and rankings after they saw the phenomenal success it got them with Wolfgang, but like as much as I love and appreciate skz’s success, like you said, they're only promoting the widely rampant problem about selling idols as though they're pieces of meat. :/
The styling part I just... I've literally written essays and essays in response to asks as to why I feel it's so badly and poorly done. it seems like they put together something quickly after forgetting they the concept of concept photos existed.
Also like, there was this one photo on twt by user @/LuvForYou915 who removed the extensions and look at how gorgeous he looks.
Tumblr media
Like he looked so pretty, and they had to add those extentions. The thing that's more annoying and I'm still salty about is that they don't even match his hair color? Like,,, his hair is blonde. And the extensions are purple. How. He's wearing a black outfit. Where is the logic behind these decisions I do not understand.
As for the chan line I literally shall not comment because you summed up so perfectly and I'm still laughing at how you put it 😂
Also I really wanna address how abnormal it's considered by kpoppies to dislike anything their faves put out !! Like we have to always put a disclaimer at front that we love skz and it's only an opinion but seriously, I wish people were more open minded with opinions. I honestly have do many faults I find in rhe concept photos and just because of that, I'm no less of a stay. No, I don't listen to Wolfgang and frankly it's wiped clean from my memory because I do not like the song, but that doesn't make me a stay, that just makes me a human with their individual taste. Also I love having a fashion stylist’s opinion on this, glad to know I'm not the only one who's underwhelmed by these photos sksjs 💕 have a great day bub !

Rules: Answer some questions about 2020 and tag some people!
I was tagged by these lovely ladies: @together-is-my-favourite-place, @infp-with-all-the-feelings, @bellamyblake, @immortalpramheda and @carrieeve. Thank you!<3<3<3 And a happy new year for you all!
Top Five Films you watched in 2020: Do you mean new ones? In cinema and/or on streaming platforms? (I mean... cinema was only possible until march 2020 but... nonetheless...) Mh, let me think. New ones...
There was “Enola Holmes” of course. But was it one of my top five? I don’t know. But since it’s hard to recall 5 movies AT ALL... maybe it WAS... Let me think...
Oh, yes, i’ve watched “Last Christmas” with Emilia Clarke for the first time in 2020 if that counts. THIS was definitely one of my top five then! (I know, it’s older than 2020... But i haven’t watched it before, so...) 
Recently: “Jingle Jangle Journey”. Christmas-y and cute.
“I kill giants”!!! OMG this movie... It’s just like “Bridge of Terabithia”! RIGHT into the feels, let me tell you. I really have no idea if it was released in 2020. But i saw it for the first time last year. This was also definitely one of my faves.
And “The mountain between us” with Idris Elba and Kate Winslet. What a little gift of a movie, seriously. I love it. Okay, also one of my top five.
Top Five TV Shows in 2020:  CAOS - “The chilling adventures of Sabrina”, “Deadly Class”, “Dark”, “Locke & Key”, “Japan sinks”,  “Blood of Zeus”, “Luna Nera”, “The haunting of Bly Manor”, “Sweet home”, “Castlevania” etc. pp. (I am a binge-watcher.) There’s no particular order.
Oh god i forgot TUA! “The Umbrella Academy” of course! One of THE highlights for me in 2020! I am such a dumbass sometimes... ;)

Top Five Books of 2020: "Reasons to stay alive” by Matthew Haig, still: “Origin” by Dan Brown... and more fanfictions i can possibly count
Top Five Fanfictions of 2020: That’s hard... I’ve read so damn many... God... Let me have a look at my AO3-list... 1. “Devil Side” and “Lose you too” (one of my all time faves!) by eyessharpweaponshot  2. “Simple, impossible things” by arysafics  3. “I’m beginning to think i imagined you all along” by immortalcockroach  4. “Moderation” by bettsfic 5. “Simple Pleasures” by Pawprinter
Five good/positive things that happened to you in 2020: 1. I learnt to make gifs this year! (Same!)  2. This fandom!! I met so many amazing people this year and despite how the show ended we all came together to celebrate the show we love. I’m so glad to be a part of this amazing community! (I am not ashamed to say: SAME! Again. ;) ) 3. The 3 years of my “observation” ended back in september and i’ve managed to not be ill for more than 10 days per year -  so that i finally, finally kept my job! 4. Having technology to be able to work in home office since march. (For a person who frequently uses the public transport to get to work this is a blessing!) 5. I got a new dwarf hammy this year. Bobby the 2nd! ;) And he’s a little sporty sunshine! I love him dearly. <3<3<3 
- And last but not least i am VERY thankful, that most members of my family and friends are still healthy. I cannot stress enough how important that is to me. And for all of those who’re currently ill and suffering: Get well soon please. May all my best wishes reach you.

·39·Attendance - Prompt Game -
Tumblr media
Title : Attendance Pairing : Lim Jaebeom x Fem!Reader Genre : Fluff Words : 1393 Summary : You just want Jaebeom to take care of himself. Prompt N°39 : “You fool! You’ve walked right into my trap! It’s not even a very good trap!”
Attendance 
Jaebeom doesn’t know what rest is. He spends hours and hours in his studio, composing and writing until he feels satisfied enough to grant himself with a five-minute break that barely calms his stress. He walks around when he needs inspiration, eyes moving frantically in need of something, anything that could tear a word out of his brain.
When it does he runs back into the poorly lit room, his feet hitting the ground at full speed and distracting you from whatever you are doing.
You’ve learnt to deal with this side of your boyfriend.
You don’t mind; Jaebeom has always been the artistic type, the one who says only what is needed but has it all in his head. He finds beauty in what reflects the eyes and expresses it with what the lips can form. It is a process of fabrication that he cherishes and you are willing to follow his lead for the sake of his art.
But sometimes, just sometimes, you wish he would put it aside to enjoy the beauty of a relationship he tends to forget. It is obviously not on purpose for Jaebeom is the same old romantic, his words teasing and pupils shining when you appear before him. He works in cycles where he locks himself for a long period before emerging with or without the hint of a smile to fulfil his boyfriend duties.
You understand, you don’t want him to change who he is.
It has been a whole week, though. A week of whispers and dehydration. Jaebeom barely goes out and he has a whole album to work on but you cannot let him be. He must take care of himself above everything else even if it means fighting with his thick head.
“Jaebeom, you should take a break.” Only your head pops from behind the door. A tired boy is sitting, locks messed up.
“Later.”
It’s always the same answer, that annoying word which means he won’t be going out of this room any time soon.
You sigh, opening the door wider and sensing the change of mood as soon as he slowly pulls his headphones down.
“I’m about to eat, can you please join me?” You try again, a hand now on your hip.
He tilts his head slightly, looking frustrated but also annoyed. “I’ll join you later. I’m almost done.”
You know how it will end, the food will stay on the table until you go to sleep.
“Why can’t you disconnect for like...an hour?” You don’t need him to answer; you want him to realize he has to stop. “You have to take care of yourself!”
Jaebeom sighs, finally putting his pen down and leaning over his hand. “I am taking care of myself. I need concentration, that’s all.”
“And I need you from time to time, that’s all.” You finish, your tone going softer.
Annoyance leaves Jaebeom as soon as you speak. He nods and lets everything as it is on his office, like you spelled a cast on him and he can only do whatever you want.
He will never admit it is actually the case.
“I’m done for tonight.” He concludes. You smile and it feels like jackpot for Jaebeom so he gets up and walks toward you until he is at arm’s reach. His hand falls on your cheek, “Let’s eat. I deserve a break.”
Your body relaxes, his reaction enough to make you feel electricity going through your chest. “I deserve that break, too.” you joke, turning around to go to the kitchen.
Jaebeom feels guilty. He knows he shouldn’t turn into a hermit whenever he has a big project going on but he doesn’t seem to be able to work any other way. He finds the table set and so beautifully decorated it makes his heart ache.
You had prepared all of this and you probably did it in the past too. How many times did he reject your offers, how many times did you do your best and never complained because you take him seriously?
His stomach almost hurts. He hates feeling like the guy who is so selfish he doesn’t even notice everyone else’s effort.
So, before he can form a proper sentence, an apology leaves his mouth.
You arrange the second plate on the table, raising two surprising brows at how down he suddenly looks. Maybe he doesn’t want to take a break but did it to please you?
“I promise it’s only for tonight. I’m the one who is sorry for taking you away from work.” You hate how indecisive your emotions are. Anger is out the window when you notice how disturbed Jaebeom is; he probably is already thinking about what he should be composing, now.
Your boyfriend blinks, feeling even worse for hinting he might not want to be here. “No, no. I actually feel guilty. You’ve been preparing such a pretty dinner and I almost didn’t see it.”
He takes a seat and you follow, your chair now next to his.
“I am totally fine with being here, with you. I hate that you’re doing all this while I can only lock myself up in this room. You had every right to come and request a little bit of my time. You deserve all my time.” he confesses, his usual embarrassment nowhere to be found.
You hum, taken aback by such a confession but also content. “Are you okay? You don’t usually...speak like this.”
Jaebeom looks okay, but deep inside he is not. “I’m just realising things. Just you saying you need me and your face right now makes me realize how much of a crappy boyfriend I am.” He chuckles, eyes avoiding the table because he pictures you being all cute an eager to please him.
For a whole minute, Jaebeom thinks he doesn’t deserve to have you.
And you feel it, the hint of anxiety on his face. It’s like the one expression he wears whenever he is stuck on a project.
You grab his adorably-looking tiny hand and let the chair slide closer to his. “Don’t overthink it. I am in a happy relationship; we live comfortably without conflicts, we’re both busy people and we do love each other. You having to lock yourself into your studio is fine by me, I just want you to take care of yourself. Don’t think about all the times you didn’t come.”
“I just think about you preparing all this,” he looks up, licking his lips unconsciously when your sweet face appears before him. “about how beautiful you are,” he lifts his free arm and wraps it around your shoulder, “and about how my past self must have done a lot of good deeds for me to live this way without getting in trouble.”
He pulls you toward him when you snort and you let his hand go to hug him back. “You’re a perfect boyfriend, Jaebeom. You care about me and I feel it. You have nothing to worry about, I just wish you’d stop disappearing for a whole week.”
You yelp when he grabs you, making you fall on his lap. “I guess I will have to show you how...present, I can be.”
You shake your head, using your best pitiful expression. “I know, a dinner is nothing special...maybe I shouldn’t try so hard and just give you what you need…”
Jaebeom gasps, horrified by your comment and how it implies he left his studio for sex only. You land back on your chair in the blink of an eye before Jaebeom dives into his plate, stuffing his face and complimenting your cooking and you swear he is about to choke.
Your face turns so red from how hard you are trying not to laugh but you still end up giggling, confusing you boyfriend.
“You fool! You’ve walked right into my trap! It’s not even a very good trap!” You grab your own plate and follow, wriggling when Jaebeom tries to tickle you.
“You freaked me out!” He whines, his cheeks so full it is hard to fully understand him. “I was ready to write a whole essay on how way more important than sex you are.”
You feel proud. “I know, but you need to take care of yourself first. Now eat, we’ll check your…. attendance once you’re done.”
Jaebeom eats faster.

Test Drive - t. 01 - Sarah Cameron
Summary: After a bad breakup you convince your roommate and best friend to go to one last party with you where she makes an unexpected move.
A/N: I love Emily Burns’ EP/Album Seven Scenes from the Same Summer and I get serious Sarah vibes whenever I listen to it. 
7 Scenes from the Same Summer Masterlist | Outer Banks Masterlist
-
♡don’t make me your test drive for the weekend♡
“I hate to be the one to say this but I think you need to get out of this room and do something. It’s been almost a week Sarah-” You commented, rummaging through the suitcases of already packed clothes for something to wear to the party you’d been invited to.  
The comforter on the other bed moved, Sarah’s head peeking out as she wriggled around to look at you. “We were together for three years! Three years of birthdays and holidays and dates and vacations-“
You rolled your eyes. It was no secret that you were not a fan of John B and his whiny ‘pay attention to only me’ attitude that demanded all of Sarah’s time when he was visiting. When they broke up you had practically thrown yourself a party. “I know, I know. But you aren’t gonna move on from that laying under your blankets. When was the last time you took a shower babe?” 
“Is my personal hygiene really all that’s important to you?” 
“No, my best friend not totally losing it over a guy is though. You’re 3 hours away from home Sarah and he’s acting like you live on another continent. If he ‘can’t handle’ you going to college then why do you wanna be with this guy anyway.” It was the same argument you had with her every time that she fought with him about their schedules, the only difference this time was that they were totally broken up. A screaming match that you were forced to endure too.  
“I love him.” 
“I know you do,” you said, trying not to sound sarcastic, “but let’s push all the love down and just focus on what kind of douche calls you two days before the biggest final of the year and tells you that you’re selfish for asking him to come out to visit for the weekend.”
“He knows I can’t leave during finals! I never focus when I study with him!” Sarah complained, pushing the blanket down a little bit further.  
“Why’s that?” You asked though you knew the reason. You were desperate to get Sarah to this party with you and you needed her to actually get out of bed to do that.  
“Because,” she said, “because he doesn’t let me! It’s always ‘I’m bored’ and ‘can’t you do that later’ and ‘aren’t I more important than stupid books’ like I’m supposed to drop everything for him!” 
“What a dick.”
“He is a dick...” she agreed, trailing off as she flopped over onto her back and pulled the blanket up.
“Oh my god, you were so close.” You cried in frustration.  
“I said-“
“Yeah, I got the train of thought that just happened.” 
“What am I gonna do? What if we never get back together?” Sarah asked, sitting up in bed and brushing her hair out of her face.  
“I can’t imagine.”
“I just want him to call me and tell me he changed his mind or something. Like it was all a dumb fluke.” She face was blotchy from crying and she was picking at a tangled piece of hair near the end.  
“Sarah,” You stressed.  
“I know!”
“Listen, that girl from the third floor, Annie, is having a party tonight. Why don’t we go? It’ll be nice.” You finally said, defeated that you couldn’t bribe her out of bed and trying it the straight forward way instead.  
“I don’t wanna go to some lame party, I just want to be left alone.” 
“Okay, well I’m gonna...Victoria’s gonna be there, from my econ class, so I’m gonna head up there.” You confessed.  
“You’re ditching me for a hook-up?” Sarah practically screeched looking at you in annoyance.
“You said you wanted to be alone!”  
“Yeah like, go in the other room and watch tv while I sulk not abandon me for Victoria from econ!” She hated Victoria from your econ class. And she hated that you were thinking about some girl while she wanted you to be thinking of her.  
“Well...depending on the night I might very well be in the next room before the parties over.” You said, offering her an awkward smile.  
“Hooking up with her is worse than abandoning me for a party.” 
You groaned and stood up, walking over to bed and laying down next to her. “I haven’t dated in months babe, and I endured countless weekends sitting on that couch or going to Starbucks while John B ‘visited my you. The least you can do is let me have this.” 
“Fine but I’m coming with you. The last thing I need is Victoria from econ thinking I’m a loser cause I’m moping in bed on a Friday night.” Sarah said, climbing out of the bed.  
“That’s the spirit!” You cheered, raising your arms in the air and fake cheering.  
“Seriously?” 
“Whatever gets you out of bed.” You replied.
“I’m still upset!” Sarah snapped, digging through the suitcases you had just been crouched in front.  
“I know, I know.” You insisted, sitting up, “wear the leopard print dress.”
“I’m not trying to hookup with anyone. I’m only going because I have a reputation to maintain and Victoria from econ is the worst!”
“Maybe, but I heard she’s really good in bed.” 
“Is that all you care about?” She laughed for the first time in two days.  
“I literally cannot explain to you how little sex I have had all year. Besides the last party I went to that kid from Poly Sci grabbed my boob...and only because he tripped and put his hand out accidentally. That was the highlight of the last three months.” 
“I’m not wearing the dress.”  
“You look so good in it!” You said, already imagining Sarah in the spaghetti strapped leopard print mini dress.  
“Really? I think it’s a little tight across my butt.” She confessed, pulling it out and holding it up.  
“It’s tight everywhere, that’s the point. Besides, you have a great ass so who cares.” 
“Oh tell me more.” Sarah teased, turning to the side and popping her leg to pose for you.  
You grabbed her pillow off the bed and threw it at her, “get a shower! We’ll do praise Sarah Cameron hour later.” 
“Fine but your starting with how great my ass looks.” She said, grabbing her toiletries bag off the back of the door.  
“Super! Get a fucking shower and let’s go! Victoria-“
“From econ awaits. I get it!” The door slamming behind her was the last sound you heard as you flopped back onto the bed and tried to  figure out what you were going to wear to the party.  
-
“Did you find her?” Sarah asked, sitting on the arm of the couch, turned in toward you, knees almost touching. You were sitting on the windowsill scoping out the party.  
“Yeah, Annie snatched her up, literally. They are already in Victoria’s room by now I’m sure.”
“Annie does not wait.” Sarah commented, taking a sip of her drink.  
You groaned, looking down at your chest. “God, I should’ve gotten like breast implants or something instead of the nose job.” You grabbed your boobs for a second, squeezing them and then crossing your arms under your chest to push them out more.  
“I don’t think fixing a deviated septum constitutes a nose job.” Sarah teased, casting a look down at your mostly exposed boobs. The top was low-cut already and when you sat like that it offered up more of them to look at. “And besides, your boobs look fantastic.”
“You really think so.” You pouted at her, leaning so she was almost forced to look at them.  
“Oh my god, yes now get them out of my face.” She laughed, pushing you away from her.  
“Ugh whatever. You’re no fun.”
“I’m loads of fun.”
“Incorrect. I dragged you all the way here to this banging party-” You said, bobbing your head on the word banging.  
“You’re so embarrassing, why are we friends?”  
“-told you how great your ass looks and you can’t even flirt with me to make me feel better.” 
“Were you that invested in Victoria?” Sarah asked.  
“No, I just really need a good hookup or something. A girlfriend preferably.” You sighed, slumping against the window.  
“Those are two different things. And I heard Victoria only does hookups.”
“Is it so wrong to imagine Victoria from econ going down on me and then realizing what a fucking hot girlfriend I would be?” You asked. You could definitely imagine it, even if it wasn’t Victoria that you wanted to have as a girlfriend.  
“How would that work?”
“Forget it, you’re not bringing me down to your level.”
“My level?”
“Yes, your level, of being in a shitty mood. I’m going to remain hopeful that Victoria from econ will come back to the party, sweep me off my feet and, preferably, fuck me into oblivion.” You said, matter-of-fact.  
“Amazing.” Sarah replied.  
You sat up a little straighter when you noticed the door open and two girls enter the party, going their separate ways. “Ha! Look, I knew it.”
“What? Oh my god, they’re back already?” Sarah caught sight of Annie going over to a group of friends and whispering. One of the guys in the group put his arm on her shoulder and for a second Sarah imagined herself at a party like this with John B. Dancing and drinking, his hands on her.  
“Annie has the stamina equivalent of a goldfish’s attention span. She never lasts and she barely reciprocates.” You informed, not noticing your best friend’s distracted state as you watched Victoria from across the room.  
“How do you know?”
“We hooked up in September.” You shrugged. Your first college hookup.  
“You never told me that!”
“We weren’t friends yet! You were just some weird straight girl with a hobo boyfriend.”
“Wow.” Sarah exaggerated the word, rolling her eyes at you.  
You smacked Sarah’s thigh when Victoria glanced your way, turning to your roommate and best friend, trying not to look too excited. “Oh my god, she looked over, act interested in me.”
“We’re already talking?” 
“Like, pet my arm or something.”
“Pet your arm?” Sarah asked in disbelief.
“Just-“
Sarah grabbed your face in her hands, throwing her last bit of caution out the window, crashing her lips to yours. Quite literally, she pressed herself closer to you as she kissed you and you somehow pulled yourself enough out of the haze to kiss back, eyes closing without even looking to see if Victoria was still paying attention. All you could focus on was Sarah’s tongue wetting your bottom lip before slipping inside your mouth. Her tongue caressed yours and her hand ran down your neck and over your back before she was groping your breast in her hand, squeezing the soft skin through your bralette. She captured your bottom lip between her teeth, tugging gently as she pulled away.  
When you opened your eyes, she was staring at you, wide eyed, hand still holding your breast and the other cupping your cheek. “I-“
“Dorm?” You chanced asking.  
“Yes.”
She stood up, straightening her dress with one hand while you held the other, leading her through the crowd of people as if you were trying to make it back to your room before the momentum wore off and you were just roommates again. Victoria called your name when you got close to the door, having seen the entire kiss from her spot. 
“Sorry, can’t talk.”
Sarah cocked an eyebrow at her as she passed, throwing up the middle finger before she was totally out the door. She had always been annoyed by Victoria and it always had everything to do with how much attention you paid the girl in your econ class. But now you were pulling Sarah along and Victoria had subsequently lost. 
-
Sarah felt for the handle, back against the door, as she kissed you. Her other hand was in your hair, pulling you as close as she could as she tried to get the door to the dorm open. She didn’t want to think too much what this meant for your friendship or her relationship with John B or herself, all she wanted to do was enjoy this moment and the feeling of you against her. She finally got the door, tumbling through it and almost losing her balance but your arm around her waist caught her.  
“Holy shit,” she laughed and kissed you, not wanting to lose the moment as she walked both of you backward through the small common room to your bedroom.  
“Maybe you should open this door the right way,” you teased, your hands on her waist gently guiding her to turn around.  
She stepped back just enough to press her ass against you, looking back over her shoulder and smiling, “does that only work on straight guys?”
“No, that definitely working.” You laugh.  
Once you were both through the bedroom door and had it swinging shut behind you Sarah resumed kissing you, hooking her hands around the back of your neck and connecting her lips to yours. She walked backwards until her knees hit the bed. You pressed your body against hers, hands on her waist trying to bunch her dress up from there.  
She disconnected from you for a second, pulling the leopard print dress over her head, hair flying over her shoulders, and leaving her in nothing but a nude colored thong. You choked down a laugh and she frowned at you. “Not the reaction I was expecting,” she said as she grabbed at the hem of your dress.
“We have the same underwear on.” You replied and Sarah looked at you, eyes sparkling with laughter. She could remember when you’d convinced her to impulse by half the collection of Skims and then you’d both spent weeks flashing each other at random points during the day to tell the other how comfortable your clothes were.
“I fucking hate you.” She mumbled as she kissed you again, pulling you down onto the bed with her.  
When you propped yourself up on your elbow to look down at Sarah you could totally understand why John B wanted so much of her attention, though you’d spent an entire school year with her so it wasn’t something you were clueless to before. But she looked beautiful, laid out on the bed with her hair fanned out around her. She smiled at you and you leaned down to kiss her, lips brushing against her and then moving along her jaw to her neck and collar. You kissed the underside of her chin down to her clavicle while your free hand ran up her side, running your fingers along the underside of her breast and feeling goosebumps rise on her skin.  
Sarah’s eyes drifted shut at the sensation of your lips sucking a bruise into the skin above her right breast while your hand grasped her left, brushing your fingers over her nipple and then twisting it between your thumb and finger. She moaned, running her hand through your hair and holding on at the base of your neck. She guided you further down her body, your mouth pressing kissing all around her right breast.  
She moaned when you finally licked across her nipple, flattening your tongue against it and then sucking on her breast making her dig her nails into your arm. Sarah had a way of making a person dizzy with her. She could make you forget everything but her just by smiling or biting her lip but feeling her under you, getting to taste her slightly sweaty skin had you more in awe of her than you’d ever been before.  
-
“It’s cool with me if this is just a rebound or whatever, I get it. But we’re friends and I should be totally honest with you.” You said, staring at the ceiling so you didn’t have to meet her eyes. “I’ve had feelings for you pretty much since August when we started texting. I didn’t say anything cause I didn’t want you to feel weird or to think that I was trying to encroach on you and John B cause I would never but...after what just happened, I feel like whatever you choose to do, you should know.” 
“That you like me?” Sarah asked, laying there with you in the afterglow, her fingers brushing designs into your stomach and sides. She had never even really thought about being with a girl before...not really. Sure, Kiara had a girlfriend and when they first started dating Sarah had wondered what it would be like but not seriously.  
“Yeah.”
“Since August?”  
“Oh yeah, hardcore.” You nodded as best you could laying down. She hadn’t let go yet, that had to be a good sign.  
“What about Victoria from econ?”
You shifted, sitting up so you could look at her. Sarah sat up across from you. Finally you explained, “She’s hot and the exact opposite of you and that was definitely the point. But hooking up with Victoria wasn’t going to change the fact that I liked you. It might’ve lessened the blow of ya know, not seeing you all summer. This definitely won’t do that.”  
“I don’t really know what to say.” She admitted.  
“You don’t have to say anything, I’m just telling you, to be up front and cause...I want you to feel comfortable and I know you’re going through a lot with John B right now and the year is over. I also wanted to tell you that I totally understand if you want a new roommate next year.” 
“No, no, are you kidding me? Kiara’s roommate was a fucking psycho all year! I am not rooming with a stranger! My luck I’ll get stuck with fucking Victoria from econ!”
“You really hate Victoria.” You laughed.  
“Of course, I do! With her fucking stupid ‘I’m summering in Portugal’ and ‘once I made out with an ambassador’s daughter at a fundraiser for poor kids’ and ‘I speak three languages’.” Sarah said, mocking the way Victoria’s voice always sounded, “she’s the worst.”
“How many times have you talked to her? I’ve never heard any of those things.” You said, trying to think of how much you actually knew about Victoria.  
“Spring break that you bagged on! She fucking showed up and spent like three days telling me dumb stuff about herself, like, bitch I don’t care about you.” 
“Okay,” you laughed, “I think we’re getting a little off topic, let’s revisit the conversation we were actually having.” 
“I don’t wanna go back to the eight.” Sarah moaned, leaning over and pressing her face close to her ankles. “It’s gonna be Kiara feeling conflicted about who to hang out with and everybody being weird about parties and seeing John B pop up every five seconds because that would be my luck!” 
You bit your lip, weighing the options of asking Sarah back with you for the summer now that the two of you had just had sex. “Well I’m not sure how enticing it would be but, you could come with me back to Philly for the summer.” 
“What would we do in Philly?” Sarah asked, looking up at you.  
“We can go to museums or head to the shore for a day or go eat a 14oz burger or get cheesesteaks and giant slices of pizza or recreate the Rocky scene or go to a farm or see Amish people....” you listed, “any of these.”
“Eating. The cheesesteaks sound good.” 
“Philly has banging food.” You said, nodding.  
“Okay.”
“Seriously.”
“Yeah, okay, I mean we’re friends.” Sarah shrugged.  
“Yeah, of course, and we can stay friends.” You agreed. You knew you had feelings for Sarah and now she knew that too but you weren’t going to let them come in the way of your friendship.  
“Yeah. So, yeah I‘ll go to Philly with you.” 
“Okay.”
Sarah sat there for a moment before, looking around the room, before looking back at you and pouting. “Hey, do you think we could still cuddle cause I could really use it right now.”  
“Yeah, totally, I’m coming in for a cuddle.”

review of the album Sour by Olivia Rodrigo
This album sounds gloriously young. like, early-lorde/taylor-swift-young vibes. it feels weird to say that it makes me feel like i never got a chance to be young when i am still Very Young™️. The best parts of this album are easily great. brutal, jealousy, jealousy, and good 4 u are instant classics. i don't think i've heard as good an album opener as brutal in a long while. excellent way to introduce the albums themes and with a fan fricking enjoyable guitar riff that absolutely demands attention. jealousy, jealousy is high quality, the bass piano riff is neato and later one there's some like, kinda dissonant plonky bits high up? and while i don't really usually like piano led music, but this really works imo. the lyrics
I'm so sick of myself Rather be, rather be Anyone, anyone else My jealousy, jealousy
are simply fantastic. as for drivers license, i'm not sure theres much for me to say that hasn't already been said, but it definitely has big Driving Ten Under The Speed Limit Cause Its 1:30 AM And No One Is Awake And You're Sad™️ vibes. its a good song yknow
lyrically, those three songs really are fantastic. And nows the point where i have to talk about happier. Its got this stanza which is legitimately amazing.
I hope you're happy I wish you all the best Really Say you love her, baby Just not like you love me And think of me fondly when your hand's around her I hope you're happy But don't be happier
it so perfectly captures that young, selfish, "yeah i want the best for you but seriously frick you". i cannot stress how great these lines are. they're also sung and timed just exquisitely.
but then she follows it up with "I'm selfish, I know / Can't let you go" and it kinda ruins it for me. the original part says that already, which makes it feel repetitive. this also makes it feel like a clarification, which like, who's gonna miss that meaning from the original stanza? honestly this one line holds this song back from being like, my second favorite on the album. where the youthful nature of the rest of the record enhances the experience, imo it makes this song (and a few others) seem a little unmatured, and not in the way that gives the rest of the album its charm. i have two other qualms with this album so i guess they go here in this review so bada bing bada boom. it felt like there was a fair bit of filler (looking at you, 1 step forward 3 steps back, enough for you, and favorite crime) which for a 34 minute album was Not Great. lastly, hope ur ok was an,, underwhelming album closer. it didn't really thematically tie anything together and kind of felt out of place, and sonically it didn't really leave me either wanting more or remembering the other songs fondly.
overall, i won't say its a very high quality album and i think thats kinda the point. its willing to make mistakes, its willing to be young. as much as i enjoy albums that are tightly polished, there's something about this records' earnest youthfulness that really hits different. at the best, it is like no other. at its worst, i probably won't remember it. really liked it. i'd recommend it. if your looking for similar music, i'd recommend XS and Paradisin by Rina Sawayama

Songs from the "How to be a human" album by glass animals assigned to dream SMP characters
So i am back on my bullshit assigning my favorite albums different fictional characters. This is one of my favorite albums. And yes this is the band that made the heat waves song. I listen to it when my mental health is kicking my ass making these assigns extra spicy ✨. Just as a reminder this album deals with some heavy topics which will be mentioned in the analysis to proceed with a little caution. DREAM SMP /RP LETS GOOOOO.
Life itself: quintessential tommy tubbo vibes here. But like season 1 tommy and tubbo. Just two kids who want to have fun getting pulled into much more serious situations than their prepared for.
Youth: Philza. And wilbur too. This song is about a father who left his son when he was young and only wants him to be happy. Saying in one of the lyrics "You were clearly meant for more, Than a life lost in the war". Philza has been absent for most of the server time so far and is now coming back to one of his sons dead and two the worst they've ever been. Wilbur i feel is somewhat self explanatory.
Season 2 Episode 3: Quackity and schlatt. I say this half seriously but i can't find anyone else that fits this well. On the surface this song is about a somewhat unhealthy relationship where the pov character in question is dating a stoner type girl who doesn't treat him very well and is implied to be depressed. Schlatt and quackity have an abusive relationship (i know it was mostly jokes but they were implied to be in some kind of relationship sexual or romantic) /rp i cannot stress this enough, where schlatt drinks incessantly and Quackity kind of just takes it for a long while. ✔✔✔✔
Pork soda: I would assign it to dnf but im not going to. Because they are implied to have something going on and i think this song would be somewhat good for that if you interpret it as dreams perspective post dream team break up /rp (sorry im clarifying that so much but just in case) but on principle i will not assign anyone this song because i honestly don't think it fits anyone that great. Sry :(
Mama's gun: technoblade. Instantly thought of technoblade. This is a song about a woman who Hears voices murdering her husband. It's implied she might not have been fully aware of what she was doing either, she shows what seems like regret for it. This fits technoblade for multiple reasons. The chat is canon and is voices in his head who often tell him to kill people. He seems to feel guilty for what hes done as shown with his retirement. Just a very techno esc song.
Cane shuga: schlatt. It's a song about drug abuse amd relationship breakups that result from that. i don't know what to tell you.
The other side of paradise: if i was to assign it id say this was about wilbur but not song by wilbur. Probably changing perspectives every verse if i was to be accurate. First from nikis perspective about the lmanburg independence war and how that became almost everything wilbur was in a unhealthy way. Second is from the perspective of tubbo. About the aftermath, wilbur life in lmanburg and him getting banished later on. The third comes from tommy. He knows wilbur is gone but he can't help but treat ghostbur as if hes wilbur. A way to forget. For just a moment.
Take a slice: No i will not ✨✨✨✨.
Poplar st.: assigning this to wilbur because he fucked a fish /j
Agnes: tommy and ranboo. This is from the perspective of ranboo. The song is about a man named Agnes who ends up commiting from the perspective of his friend. The radio version makes it seem like a romantic song but its platonic and capture his love for his friend. Ranboo for over a week has been the driving force keeping tommy alive making this song seem very bittersweet but kind of perfect for them. /rp
I made this for goofs originally but now i am sad. Anyways enjoy this mess and listen to the album its really good.

What are your favorite movies and TV shows outside of SW? I’m looking for new things to watch since SW was so disappointing
My tastes are pretty eclectic, so I will stick to just things that are either similar to sw or are in the reylo-esque romance wheelhouse and have happy endings:
Chuck. It is a goofy, light-hearted action-adventure show with extremely endearing characters and a very prominent central romance (seriously, heavy romance and there is a lot of payoff for it, you will be FED- it's kind of slow burn but also shockingly NOT slow burn, they are deep into it pretty much immediately). The main couple is the classic Stoic Badass gradually softened by an innocent they have to protect who is a liability in battle but full of the Power of Heart. Chuck is The Heart btw. He is of that vanishingly rare male Beauty (of B&tB) type. He's incredibly generous and open, Sarah is prickly and closed-off. It is Quality. Very much a gender-swap of your typical cliche anime couple lol. I would recommend stopping at the mid-season finale in season 4, because it's downhill from there. The beginning of season 3 is very rough, but it's definitely worth it to stay for the back half, imo. There are several great endings to choose from before things go to shit, so we don't need to talk about the finale. Probably the most tonally similar to SW thing possible without being high/space fantasy. More humour, more silly, but definitely has a spiritual kinship. Has the best THE BEST 'secret revealed' scenes I have ever seen in anything. If you're into that and were hoping for that in ep IX, you need to watch Chuck.
The Shop Around the Corner. 1940 romance/drama film. You've Got Mail is a remake of it. Jimmy Stewart being profoundly adorable, Frank Morgan (aka the Wizard of Oz), various amusing side characters, and an absolutely deathless double blind 'secretly in love with the workplace nemesis' plot that can and probably has been a great reylo AU.
Mirromask. Fantasy/coming-of-age film. Touted as a 'spiritual successor' to Labyrinth by the filmmakers (one of whom is Neil Gaiman) and let me tell you, that is extremely apt. Beautiful, magical, laden with symbolism and Mask Discourse, and has a great ship. I quote it regularly.
Speaking of which, I'm sure you've seen Labyrinth? If you haven't seen Labyrinth, drop everything and watch Labyrinth.
Legend (the Ridley Scott director's cut, not the theatrical cut). Sumptuous fairy tale, runs on proper fairy tale logic, stunning to look at and overall captivating. Tim Curry. Tim Curry as a lonely tragic lord of darkness who tries to seduce the heroine and has drippingly overwrought monologues.
Howl's Moving Castle. Fairy tale adventure/romance film. Beautifully animated, has the ending you want.
The Silence of the Lambs. Thriller/drama film. Actual masterpiece. Use it as a gateway drug to read the books and rejoice that Clannibal is canon and it is spectacular. Just SotL and Hannibal, you don't need to read the other two. Stan Clarice Starling and revel in that ending. Most triumphant 'villain'/heroine ship of all time (he is not technically a villain but for shorthand's sake).
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Terry Gilliam 1988 fantasy/adventure film. THE TRIUMPH OF IDEALISM OVER CYNICS I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW HEALING IT WAS TO WATCH AFTER THE TROS BULLSHIT HIT. Jonathan Pryce's spiritual villain is basically Chris Terrio and it is cathartic to see imagination and sentiment conquer him.
Sabrina. 1995 romance film. Modern fairy tale with Harrison Ford. Rejecting what you thought you wanted all your life for the thing you actually need, growing up but still believing in magic, beautiful character development across all the leads. Could be (and is irrc) a fantastic reylo AU.
The Scarlet Pimpernel. 1934 adventure film. High romance, secret identities, play-acting, people who aren't at all what they appear to be, falling in love with your own spouse, Big Heroism, guile and wit and audacity. It makes me do little kicks like a happy baby. This is one of the 3-5 films constantly tied for my favourite film of all time. There is a good quality rip free on youtube. Watch it and fall in love with Leslie Howard (this is possibly my favourite acting performance of all time).
Oh, related note. Pygmalion 1938 or My Fair Lady. (The musical is based on this film and borrows from it heavily, including its much more romantic ending compared to the original play.)
The Mummy. 1999 action/adventure/romance film. Very tonally similar to sw. A fucking great time, A+ characters.
EVER AFTER. 1998 romance film. The flawless and perfect and best ever Cinderella adaptation. This is the most satisfying film in history, maybe, the ending is so good it is amazing it exists. Also, it has Richard O'Brien being slimy. Huge selling point. Grapples with identity and stewardship, is brilliant.
Fruits Basket. drama/romance anime. I haven't watched the new version yet, but it's following the manga so I know the story. The original anime didn't do the whole plot (because they caught up with the source material) but it's wonderful and I still recommend it. The central ship is (spoiler.........) a B&tB type where we eventually discover the main love interest both feels like a figurative monster and turns into a literal monster. He has an incredible speech about his relationship with people's fear, it makes me weep. I called the endgame from the first episode and always thought it was obvious, but there is a red herring love triangle dynamic. It's really not annoying, though, because it is a red herring. (I hate love triangles)
I am Dragon. Russian monster romance film. Beautiful, simple fable with a really great heroine.
Jane Eyre. 1943 Gothic Romance film. It's Jane Eyre, byronic hero x sensible heroine love story with much atmosphere and Gothic drama. I stan this version because I am an Orson Welles fangirl and I'm also not convinced it can be improved upon. Elizabeth Taylor's film debut btw.
Hellboy. 2004 action/adventure/romance film. Defying destiny, reconciling identity, monster romance. The complete package and a great time. Tonally similar to SW and probably thematically closest to it out of this whole list. Don't watch the sequel.
Beauty and the Beast 1987 tv series. Exactly what it says on the tin. Deals with the classic B&tB themes, but in a different way. He's not cursed and will never transform into an ordinary man. The first season is very episodic and 'case of the week', but the second season gets more into character drama. It's dated, but if you give it a chance you can get past some of the cheese factor and it's really a unique experience. Its concerns are SO atypical that it feels like something fandom would make rather than a mainstream network show. It was so massively, insanely popular with women at the time that a record of Vincent (the beast) reading poetry topped the album charts. Also Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. Stop at season two. Point of interest: George RR Martin wrote for this show.
Stargate (the movie not the series) sci-fi fantasy about a nerdy guy who accidentally a hero.
Possession. 2009... mystery/supernatural/romance. Okay. This is a whole thing. Lee Pace and Sarah Michelle Gellar. It's based on a Korean film I've never been able to find for some reason, but being Hollywood they ruined the romanticism and nuance of the original in the theatrical cut to make a shitty punative ending. However. If you buy it on dvd and go to the alternate ending (which follows the original story) with around 20 minutes left (scene after Lee Pace's character wakes from a bad dream-go to deleted scenes and select the alternate ending), you will get a very, very interesting character study/thriller/redemption about sincerity within deception, compassion, and a major question about second chances with a positive answer. It's kind of dark and kind of astonishingly idealistic at the same time. The heroine makes a very powerful choice, twice over. It's fascinating. If you're into the conflicted and uncertain period in reylo, the part where he is most ambiguous, and you wanted more of that and much darker shades to it, you might be really into this. Also, it should be noted, there is a MASSIVE height difference and they show it off. The film is flawed (and the seams show on the Hollywood rewrite) but idk, it's fascinating. Shocking to me that they even got to shoot the original ending. It is pretty balls to the wall with its themes on forgiveness.
I would recommend getting into kdramas because there is a wealth of female-gaze tropey amazing content, but always check the ending before getting invested. My all-time fave is the 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, but it's not sw related at all lmao. It has a happy ending with all the elements you'd want, but it's not satisfying in execution, so that's it's major flaw and I find that pretty common with kdramas. One that is maybe more relevant is My Love from Another Star, which has a hero who is a little bit like Ben in personality. The heroine isn't my favourite, though. It does have a decent ending.
Oh yeah- brain fart. Kurosawa films and classic westerns were both very influential on SW. Or you can combine both and watch The Magnificent Seven.

Never Love Again
Anon: Can you do one with harry being a dick/asshole and is really mean to y/n hurts her feelings(they arent dating) and harry tries to win? her back major angst please :)))
The song lyric used in this is from ‘Never Love Again’ from ‘A Star is Born’.
The one where Harry’s never been meaner (acquaintances!harry&y/n)
Genre: Angst 
Word count: 2.9k
Warnings: Mentions of death
Tumblr media
      You’re thankful for the radiators on blast, their artificial heat hugging you allowing you to release the strong grip you had on your coat as the clear door slams shut behind you thanks to one of many strong gusts of wind.
      Wiping your feet on the carpet you wave animatedly at Jess, the receptionist, hurriedly taking off your scarf and coat hanging it on the pegs provided. Coming here had become a regular for you over the Summer, the prime time of music writing for musicians, so now in the freezing month of December getting ready for a writing session in one of London’s most famous recording studios had become second-nature to you.
      Jeff Azoff had contacted you years ago after hearing about your impeccable talent for song writing and admirable professionalism, something that he himself revered because he knew first-hand how frenzied operating within in this industry could get. So, when one of his father’s clients – John Mayor if we really feel like name dropping – had rambled on profusely about your undeniable talent he had no choice but to check you out. And that was almost 4 years ago. From then on the two of you had formed a close bond, tagging along on family holidays, being invited to the fanciest of parties and being the resident ghost writer for Full Stop Management.
      And today just like most days you were called into the studio to aid with the writing of yet another global superstar and according to the vague text that Jeff had sent you that morning, said artist was Harry Styles.
      Now, you weren’t completely unfamiliar with the man, after all having a friendship with Jeff automatically meant that you would constantly be in Harry’s presence, however you wouldn’t go as far as to call yourself friends. Your relationship with him had always been low-key and mediocre, chatting occasionally, and for lack of a better word, the two of you were merely friendly. Nothing more, nothing less. You had absolutely no issue with this of course, it wasn’t as if you both would never talk, you would exchange formalities, have light-hearted conversations, and his gentlemanly behaviour was evident from when the two of you had first met. You had always admired him, even in his boyband days, loving how he was never afraid to just be, respecting how he had the kindest and most gentle soul. You had no issue with admiring him from a distance.
      As you entered the recording booth you were greeted with warm smiles weirdly from everyone sans Harry it seemed. You shrugged off his odd behaviour, excusing his cold greeting with the fact that he has been stuck in here for hours, the stress from making a song stealing all of his attention as the deadline for his next album fast approached.
      “M’so sorry I’m late guys, got caught up at home.” You sheepishly mumbled an apology plopping yourself on the coach beside Mitch as you pulled your notebook out of your bag. You almostmissed the look Harry gave you, his face screwing up in distaste as he rolled his eyes. Almost.
    “No worries Y/N.” Jeff’s American accent ran thick, “You’re the one doing us a favour.” You ignored the sound of Harry huffing across the room, instead choosing to focus on finding the piece you thought would be best for Harry.     “We’ve been stuck here for hours,” Mitch groaned beside you, his head leaning back as he closed his eyes, “please tell me you have something for us.”
     You chuckled lightly, “As a matter of fact I do, it’s not much but it should be enough to kickstart a few gears,” reaching over you gently patted Mitch’s head to which he smiled brightly up at you.
      “Think I’ll be the judge of that thanks.” Harry finally spoke up; however, he was still huffing and puffing, “S’my album.”
     You ignored Harry’s harsh tone, instead choosing to smile brightly at him handing over your open notebook to which he took without even a whisper of a thank you.
      You watched on with nerves, your fingers fiddling on your lap as you Harry’s eyes skimmed over the pages covered with your hard work.
      However, rather than receiving the praise you thought you would get you were met with another scoff as his judgemental eyes turned to you.
     “S’supposed be prepared aren’t you? That’s why Jeff pays you.”
     “Harry!” Jeff shouts, yet the volume of his voice falls flat once it reaches Harry’s ears.
      “First your fucking late, s’not very professional is it? And then you hand me your supposed ‘chosen’ piece and it cannot be any further from what I am.”      “Don’t doubt my ability to write when I’ve been successfully for other artists for years.” You huffed, crossing your arms and leaning back into the leather sofa.      “M’ not doubting your abilities to write s’just even a basic amount of research would’ve been evidence that what you’ve just shown me is not like me.”
     Your heart beats erratically and your hands clench in an attempt to keep the rapidly growing irritation at bay. Reminding yourself repeatedly that it would not be okay if you were to kick him in the shins.
      “Like you said Harry, it’s your album you do have the final say,” you said through gritted teeth. “A ‘no thanks’ would’ve sufficed too though.”      Reaching out your arm you grab your abandoned notebook carefully turning to the page that had the other page with a post-it note hanging out. “I’ve got another one that I thought we could use.”
     Before coming you were sceptical of whether you would want anyone to look at these specific lyrics you had written, along with a couple others, you held these lyrics closest to your heart. However, it was this particular one that stood out to you as you had browsed through your book as soon as you received Jeff’s message. Maybe these lyrics could mean something to someone as much as it did to you.
     Please be gentle. You thought, once again handing the notebook back to Harry praying that he wouldn’t be as harsh with this one.
      Once again you were watching on, your body full of nerves more so than the previous time. But rather than receiving a death glare you were met with a breathy laugh as Harry read over the lyrics you had given.
      “Fucks sake,” you heard him mumble causing your heart to drop. “Have you ever even been in love?”
     “Wha-” you asked surprise ringing clear in your voice.
     “S’literally the most two-dimensional thing ever. S’not captured anything at all. And apparently you’re of the best writers today.” He complained. “Fucking lie s’what that is.”
     “Harry what’s wrong with you!” Mitch jumped to your defence, completely in shock at his mate’s behaviour.
     “M’just telling the truth, nothing wrong with that.” Harry pauses taking the time to read your work only to dissect it right in front of you. “Like seriously ‘Don’t wanna feel another touch’, pretty basic Y/N at least write something you have experience with.”
      Harry’s words were snarky and had no issue with cutting deep right to your bones.
      You sat there staring at the man across from you, completely dumbfounded with how your day had turned out. You never expected to be sitting across from Harry Styles, someone who had been nothing but nice to you since you first met and yet here you were, being ripped to shreds by the exact same man.      Your throat was tight as if being strangled with thorns, the words coming of your mouth strained as you fought the tears that were already threatening to spill. “You don’t even know me Harry.”
     “Yeah and I don’t need to to know what you’re like.”
     “I don’t know what’s warranted you to act the way you’ve been. M’just trying to help you get out of the funk that you’ve been in all day. No need to drag me through the mud.” You stood up, clutching your bag in your hands, shooting Harry one last look. “I’m going home I don’t feel too good, but feel free to browse through my book to find at least one thing that’s worth your time.”     You ignored the calls of your name from both Mitch and Jeff only sending them a small wave and a tight smile as you exited the room. You didn’t care if your actions seemed ‘unprofessional’ or ‘childish’ there was just no way you would allow yourself to break down in front of anyone.
     You weren’t ready to go back into the cold, not when you felt as if there was no more warmth left inside you. Who did he think was to say any of that to you? He had no clue what you’ve been through, what you’ve felt.
     You may have only been 18 at the time but heartbreak was still heartbreak and death was still death.
      You always struggled to think back to a time where he was there, when the dull ache in your chest hadn’t been torturing you for months on end. When you had felt free and loved.
      But one night he had been ripped from you, pried from your loving grip and taken away without so much as a last goodbye from either of you.
      It was a drunk driver. A tragic accident. One that you would never allow yourself to forget. He had been on his way to you that night, after you begged him to come over to keep you company.
      He was there until he wasn’t. And you hated yourself for a while because of it.
      Over the time your self-hatred had evolved to sadness, anger until finally peace. The first time you had ever felt such content was when you were sat at your desk, an untouched notebook resting in front of you, your hands moving before your mind could even process. Until hours later you finally stopped and what was once untouched was now full of words, lyrics and songs about what you felt, ups and downs and all.
      And now the same notebook rested on the small coffee table, ready to be dissected even further by a man who knew nothing.
     There was only one thing that could get you out of the hole you had sunk into. That night you found yourself sitting at the same desk, paper in-hand, where you wrote yourself to sleep, dreaming of a green-eyed man and a fatal collision. 
//
    It was a loud and startling knock that jerked you out of your slumber. Glancing at the clock you huffed in both confusion and annoyance, who would be here at 7am in the morning? The incessant knocking forced you to hurriedly walk to the door, calling out only to receive no answer, the sound of their knuckles overpowering your voice.
     And of course, the culprit behind the door would be none other than Harry Styles. After all who else would be up before 7am dressed in running gear, hair sweaty, a tell-tale sign that your place was a stop off after his morning jog.     “Harry?” you asked, confusion lacing your voice. “What are you doing here?”     Harry gestured to the door smiling shyly to which you nodded with a roll of the eye, swinging the door open he stepped in. “Nice.” He hummed, his eyes scanning the room.
     “Hello? It’s 7 in the morning Harry. Never mind how you even knew where I live but what are you doing here?”
     “Jeff.” He remarked still preoccupied with taking in your clustered flat. “I mean Jeff told me where you lived and I came back to give you your notebook.”     “Pretty sure Jeff’s not allowed to give out a client’s personal information.”     “He’s not.” Harry agreed, finally turning to look at you. “But I begged and s’more so to mend a friendship.”
     You shrugged your shoulders perplexed at the supposed friendship Harry claimed the two of you had. “Never aware we were friends to begin with.”     You were quick to cut off Harry’s reply, his mouth opening and his eyes shining with guilt. “I can see this conversation is going somewhere. Just give me a few to freshen up yeah? Just woke up.”
     Once you were in the safety of your bathroom, you let out a breath you weren’t aware you were holding and took your time to freshen up.
      “The fuck.” You mumbled looking at your scruffy complexion. “This man gives me a headache.”
       Hyping yourself up in the mirror, you finally deemed yourself ready to come face-to-face with the man who had hurt you the night before.
     “I didn’t know.” He said as soon as you walked in, almost as if he had sensed your presence. At first you were left confused by his words, but that was until you saw the frame he was gripping in his hands.
      “Of course you didn’t, why would you?” You spoke after a moments silence, gently prying his fingers off of the photo and placing it back where it belonged.      “Mitch knew.” you raise your eyebrows in question and what this had to do with anything. “You met Mitch years after me, but Mitch knew.” 
    “Can you blame me? We were never that close Harry, but I got to a point in my friendship with Mitch to feel comfortable enough to open up and for him to recognise when there was something wrong with me.”
     Harry huffed; his eyes downcast so to not meet yours. “S’my point! I’ve known you for almost four years now and I could never see beyond the front you put on. I couldn’t see that you were in pain.” 
    You were shocked at his broken confession, but it only did so little to cure the damage he had done yesterday when he had verbally ripped into you and your hard work. “You really hurt me yesterday.”
     At your words Harry looked up at you, taking your hand in his he gently pulled you to your sofa, his hand still on yours even when you sat down. “I can’t even express to you how sorry I am.”
     “You can start with why maybe. I may not know you well, but I know you enough to know that outbursts like that always have a meaning behind.”
     “I was just so frustrated.” Harry paused with a slight shake of his head as if to get rid of the memories he had made the day before. “Not at you, at myself. The deadline is so close, and I’ve not even got half of the songs ready. And then Jeff called you in to do my work.”
     He let out a breathy laugh, his hand only leaving yours to be raised over his head in exasperation. “I mean I’m supposed to be one of the top artists of my generation and I don’t even have the brain capacity to write enough decent songs to make an album. I was so embarrassed that my manager thought I needed a ghost writer, someone who’s work I would take credit for, to write my songs for me. And then to make matters worse you had this book full of these amazing songs and it just made me question where I stood in the music world. God I was so jealous.  And I know none of this excuses my hateful words, but I just needed you to know where they came from.”
     “Not any concealed hate I have for you and not because I genuinely thought your writing was shit. It was just ‘cause in that moment I was an insecure little boy who couldn’t handle someone being better than him.”
     “You absolute idiot!” you all but shouted causing his eyes to widen in shock, “First of all, you’re a jealous prick. I can’t believe you ripped into me so bad and embarrassed me in front of everyone because you couldn’t admit to yourself the fact that you needed help. Second of all you I don’t know if you’re aware, but you have an album full of amazingly written songs, something that you took a huge risk and then succeeded regardless. Third you know I don’t want to be known for anything until I’m ready, so enough with that taking credit bullshit and fourth thanks a lot for ruining my first writing experience with you I can’t even begin to tell you how long I was waiting for someone to ask me.”
     “Oh and fifth! I forgive you. But you better not pull that shit with me again. I can take criticism but only if its constructive and not used to attack me.”
     You mumbled in surprise as Harry’s arms wrapped around you pulling you in for a tight hug shivers running over your body from his whispers of what an amazing person you are against your neck.
      “Well are you ready now?” Harry smiled slyly pulling away from the hug, the almost-creepy look on his face starting to freak you out.
     “Ready for what?” You asked with caution, unsure of where Harry was taking the conversation.
      “Want you to help me write tha’ lovely song you showed me ‘nd I want you to be put down as the co-writer.” Harry beamed at you. “If you’re ready of course, just thought if you wanted maybe it’s time for the world to see how talented you are.”
     Your mind was reeling as you contemplated your answer, you knew that somewhere down the line you wanted to be recognised for the work that you did. You just had never decided when, but as you looked at the man sitting beside you, you finally reached your answer.
“I’d love to.”
