Don’t you think it’s Matty in some of the distorted vocals on Labyrinth? It sounds like it.

Oh yes! In my opinion, Labyrinth is perhaps the most egregious use of Matty's voice in one of her songs. I made a video comparing the voice to his "Uh oh" from the acoustic version of 'Paris' (I think Taylor using "uh oh" lyrically within 'Labyrinth' might even be a nod to his song 'Paris'!):

Speaking of 'Paris', in Taylor's 'Paris', I believe she samples his voice from either 'Heart Out' or 'Settle Down' and distorts it (listen here)

But it doesn't stop there! I think she samples his "squeak" from 'Settle Down' on her track 'Death by a Thousand Cuts' (comparison at the beginning of this edit), and that she samples his "Yeeah!" in 'August' (comparison here). I believe I also hear Matty's voice in the grunting noises on the track 'Glitch', as well as on the line "all my days" in 'You're On Your Own Kid'.

Before you think I'm too crazy, I think most of the male vocals on Midnights sound like Jack, except for the few examples I pointed out that sound like they have a different timbre from him (and perhaps more like a certain British singer who happened to be haunting ELS at the same time Midnights was recorded…)

Lastly, and this isn't too crazy considering the collaboration was definitely real… I believe I hear Matty on the word "drunk" at the very end of "Slut!" (though, upon further listen… I think I also hear his voice during the line "nobody knows")

Thanks for the ask! That was a fun one ♥

Have you ever come up with a design for Axe's armor?

I hadn't, so thanks for giving me an excuse to finally do that :]

bonus:

#undertale #underswap #underswap mh #safeutdr #alphys #axe (swap mh alphys)#sans #neptune (swap mh sans)#undertale art #holoskart #doodles #her body armour is similar to the rabbit guards' designs so it was basically just her helmet and tail armour I had to figure out #I ended up taking inspiration from excalibur sonic of all things. my previous fandom was finally useful for something again jghdfjgkd #also I decided against giving her gauntlets and boots partly bc I think her claws would still be useful #and partly to keep some of her normal colour scheme visible like how UT undyne's hair is exposed

Speaking of the IILWY mv… It’s interesting that the songs — IILWY and COH — are not linked, but the mvs are. The same goes for cardigan and willow. COH and cardigan end with the protagonist alone and IILWY and willow are about reuniting with the lost lover. Also the invisible string in the willow mv appears to be music!

It's not just IILWY or ACOH, anon! Matty brings back the clown for the beginning of the 'Somebody Else' video as well as the end of 'Sincerity is Scary', even describing clowns as a "motif", heh!

Anon, I love that take about 'Cardigan'! I interpret it in a very similar way, though slightly different. But before I get into it, I want to stress, yet again, to anyone who might be reading this… that Matty Healy is the muse of 'Cardigan', confirmed by Taylor, herself! This rarely happens!

"I've never named names, so I feel like I still have a sense of power over what people say."

I've noticed that most fans completely ignore this bombshell because, rather than explore 'Cardigan' from a new, exciting angle or trust their favorite popstar not to get seduced by or romantically entangled with a "literal monster", they'd rather jump on the bandwagon and believe a 280-character gross misrepresentation of him on Twitter. Boo!

But... I digress! Anyway, as we take this journey, just please remember that Matty is who she is singing about all throughout 'Cardigan'… and keep him in mind as she purposefully ties various songs together with these "plot devices" (more on that in a bit!)

In 'Cardigan', we see how Taylor accesses that golden thread through music (the piano), and the way it is tied not just to this enchanted, magical place (memories from the past, I'm thinking), but by continuing to follow that thread, she ends up in a precarious position - in the middle of dark, turbulent waves during a thunderstorm (very reminiscent of 'Clean'). As the camera pans out, we see just how massive the body of water is. In nothing but a nightgown and totally unprepared to suddenly find herself in this giant ocean… Taylor luckily finds her piano floating on the surface, clinging onto it for dear life. The piano, or the music, is the only thing that saves Taylor from drowning in that abyss - the golden thread luring her to, instead, immerse herself in music once more. Through the piano, or through music, she is able to return to safety and ground herself again, even finding comfort in having taken the journey, because in it, she found a lot of strength and resilience.

Gosh, that sure sounds familiar… doesn't it? Here is where it gets even more interesting! Yes, the beginning of 'Willow' is a continuation of the end of 'Cardigan'. Taylor described the golden thread as a "plot device", which is a "technique in a narrative used to move the plot forward". Taylor is suggesting that there is a plot.

So, let's check out what the Vevo Footnotes video for 'Cardigan' has to say (found on Taylor's official YouTube channel - so, it's as good as "official" to me):

"Returning to the cabin signifies returning to a sense of self after experiencing love lost. However, Taylor's clothes remain soaking wet to represent that she was changed by the journey but has discovered who she always was. I view folklore as wistful and full of escapism. Sad, beautiful, tragic. Like a photo album full of imagery and all the stories behind that imagery."

It's a bit subtle, but the ending of 'Cardigan' is just another iteration on the same story we've already seen elsewhere in Taylor's work. The two that immediately spring to mind are these:

Out of the Woods: She lost him. But she found herself. And somehow that was everything. I Knew You Were Trouble: I don't know if you know you who are until you lose who you are.

And of course, Taylor is directly referencing another song from Red, this time by name: 'Sad Beautiful Tragic' (by the way… I strongly suggest listening to that one back to back with 'Bigger Than The Whole Sky'!)

Taylor suggests that she uses various scenes in 'Willow' to represent the songs 'Seven', 'Exile', 'Mirrorball', and 'Mad Woman'. By the way… 'Mirrorball' is a song that shares sonic similarities with The 1975's 'About You' and 'Medicine' (click the links for fun mashups that help showcase those similarities!)

In the Folklore foreward, Taylor alludes to 'Cardigan' again by describing "lovestruck kids wandering up and down the evergreen High Line" - does that remind you of anything? It sure reminds me of:

"Slut!": Got love-struck, went straight to my head Superman: I'm far away, but I never let you go, I'm love-struck and looking out the window

So, we have a connection to a song that we know Matty helped co-write a different version of… as well as a song that he, himself, hearkens back to via the Superman shirt he chose to wear in the music video for 'Me & You Together Song', as well as lyrically in 'About You'… for some, reading parallels is better, for others, listening is better, so here goes both:

Superman: Don't forget, don't forget about me About You: Do you think I have forgotten? Do you think I have forgotten… About you?

Even the golden thread in 'Cardigan' and 'Willow' is reminiscent of the pixie dust from Peter Pan! Just another connection to Matty, who has not only compared himself to Peter Pan about half a dozen times in interviews throughout the years (slowly adding all instances to this blog), but in one of them, he even talks about Wendy!:

"For me, the Peter Pan analogy of him not wanting to grow up because his… Captain Hook is his only example of a grown-up and he has Wendy, who's a conservative lady who wants to grow up and get married, but he has Tinker Bell who titillates him and she's like pornography, she's like all these… it's like, of course you get like um, titillated by the absence of a domestic reality. You don't live anywhere. You're doing something for other people, although it's yours, you know. You eventually find solace in relationships, like I have done."

Of course, I get it - that this could all be "accidental", but upon studying Taylor's techniques and listening to countless interviews where she says storytelling is the most important aspect of her work… I just don't see coincidence being the most likely conclusion, here. Forgive me, anon... I can get a bit carried away 😅

Thanks for the ask! ♥

as much as tails, knuckles, amy, and rouge having their counterparts memories after the fact would be neat, a huge part of me is hoping that they don’t remember shit and are just extremely confused as to why sonic has suddenly gotten so clingy

like sonic runs into tails’ lab and pulls him into a swinging hug (mimicking the hug with nine? maybe) and tails is just like “wtf is happening rn are you ok??? are you dying???” because his usually not-very-touchy big brother is crushing him and won’t let go

#everyone else has pretty similar reactions #also i HOPE they recreate the hug with nine but with tails instead PLEASE #i will CRY if that happens #sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #knuckles the echidna #amy rose #rouge the bat #sonic prime #sonic prime season 3

So I made another Sonic au...

Not sure what to call this one yet, So I'll call it Cursed Sonic for now.

So pretty much in this, Sonic is cursed to transform into a giant hedgehog at night. Kinda like the werehog, but instead of a werehog, he's a giant.

At night his quills turn slightly darker with a slighty purple hue, he gets light purple highlights, and his eyes glow purple sometimes.

Sonic tries to hide his curse from everyone else, not wanting them to know. He's self cautious and he doesn't want to risk hurting them. He thinks he'll able to solve this problem on his own.

The only other person that knows (at least at first) is Shadow, and that's only because he found out on accident.

#that makes... two aus now where Sonic is cursed and risks hurting his friends #Snow Sonic and Cursed Sonic #I'm sorry I like angst in my fanfics 😭#I feel Unleashed didn't go into Sonic's insecurities with his werehog form enough #I hope to go a bit more into that in this au since Sonic is in a bit of a similar situation #Cursed Sonic au #sonic the hedgehog #sonadow #sonic fanfic #sth #sonic fanart #sonic art #random stuff

Shadow, despite hating Nine with a passion, is the only person in this entire show that actually sees and understands him in any meaningful way. Sonic's attachment to Nine is based off his friendship with Tails and his inability to cope with the fact that his best friend is gone. In his eyes, Nine is just a gloomy, edgy version of Tails, not his own person with his own motives and desires. He's so used to him and Tails being on the same page, always having each other's back, that he didn't even bother to consider the fact that Nine and him would be any different, and his lapse in judgement is what lead to Ghost Hill being destroyed in the aftermath of Nine's betrayal.

Shadow repeats the sentiment ''they're not your real friends'' over and over in the show. Not only does he offer Sonic a mental out, a way to compartmentalize and stick to their priorities without any regrets weighing him down, it also rings very true to every character Sonic has met thus far. Rebel isn't Rouge, Renegade isn't Knuckles, Thorn isn't Amy and Nine isn't Tails. They're only pieces of their original's personality formed and twisted into their own people with their own lives and their own names. They're similar, but distinctly different, complete strangers in all but appearance. Sonic undoubtably cares about Nine and the others, but that care is built on an illusion, and Shadow recognized that immediately. And for me that's the most ironic and sensible part of it all. That it's Shadow of all people recognizing that so quickly. Shadow, the guy with a history of identity issues plagueing his legacy. Shadow, the guy who cares the least about these other people and made Sonic eat dirt for an entire episode just to sacrifice them one season ago.

And it makes sense. Because he knows first hand how difficult it is to seperate the past from the present, walking the line between being a protector and being a destroyer, his own person or just a weapon and existing as an entity for others to project on until he finally figured himself out on his own, he's able to sniff out Nine's confusion and resentment of Tails from his line ''This is the friend Sonic thought was like me? We're nothing alike'' when they encountered his ghost form before Sonic ever did. And because he doesn't care for him, he never associates him with Tails, giving him the ability to see Nine for who he really is. And Nine's troubled, selfish and volatile, and not to be trusted because his goals never aligned with theirs. He's everything Tails isn't, and that's why Sonic never acknowledged those traits. But Shadow sees Nine, and that's why he was so quick to distrust him.

It's also why he could easily deduce what the motive behind his actions were. Power. It's a motive he can certainly relate to. Something he can understand, but Sonic cannot (bless his heart). It was his driving force for the entirety of SA2. What he was after was the power of the Chaos Emeralds to inact Professor Gerald's revenge on the planet and was he believed to be Maria's dying wish, just like how Nine searches for power to create a paradise where he can live the life he always wanted surrounded by ''friends'' he never had. Both of them didn't think about the damage they caused or those they betrayed in that pursuit because they never factored into the equation in the first place. It's about power to achieve self-fulfilment, and what a broken, lonely, destructive and misguided guy seen by nobody and isolated by everybody will do to see it all through to the end.

Nine and Shadow can relate to each other. They can understand each other. They're can be on the same page when it comes to figuring out what the other person is plotting from eye contact alone (like Shadow immediately realising that Nine was going to use Sonic as his energy source). What Shadow wants from Sonic is to be heard, and what Nine wanted from Sonic was to be seen, and what they can't recieve from him they can give to each other. They're similar, they're compatible, they're both attached to Sonic despite acting otherwise and their mindsets are identical-- and that's exactly why they will never be friends.

#sonic prime #sonic prime spoilers #i find shadow and nine's rivalry really neat if that wasn't obvious already #i'm a sucker for characters so similar they're fated to clash and they fit the bill so well it's nuts #shadow acknowledges nine as his own person which is what nine always wanted out of sonic #but because he does unlike sonic he doesn't trust nine further than he can throw him. so nine is stuck regardless #idk i just wanted to rant about these guys real quick hope this post makes sense #nine sonic prime #shadow the hedgehog #sorry for any grammar mistakes!
