1980s music tournament - 1985

So far we've had six winners - "Under Pressure", "Holding Out for a Hero", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Don't You (Forget About Me)", "Call Me", and "In the Air Tonight". For this round, I thought it'd be fun to dive in 1985.

No, I don’t mean the year. I mean the seminal classic “1985” by Bowling for Soup!

Below are references to specific songs from the song and the video. Since I only want one song per artist to make it, Blondie is not on the list. For the artists mentioned, I chose songs I haven't used before in any poll that were still big hits of theirs.

Please vote below and PLEASE reblog for others!

it’s literally endlessly fucking funny to me how certifiably insane post timeskip sabo is about his brothers. he remembered who luffy and ace were and they immediately rocketed to #1 on his priority list with absolutely no contest. he devotes himself to being an older brother with the same fanatical obsession that he’s been using to lead revolutions and luffy is so used to ‘older brother’ meaning ‘guy who has attached a significant portion of his self worth and meaning in life to you’ that it fully doesn’t even register as weird to him. he manages to secretly make luffy a vivre card and luffy acts this is reasonable rational behavior!!! just normal older brother shit for them to be fully neck deep in your business without ever mentioning it!!!! cannot believe they ever managed to make us think sabo was the normal rational one. what the fuck lmao

im making text post memes for the whole student council but nanami gets her own post bc shes gods specialest little princess

Dragon literally pulled a reverse "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you" in this chapter.

Man really was like "if you pry into this shit you're gonna have to literally fucking kill me." Poor Kuma just "man what????" He IS that overdramatic friend.

OK SO YOU SEE ITS NOT THAT UTENA IS A BETTER PRINCE OR A TRUE PRINCE ITS THAT THE VERY CONCEPT OF A PRINCE IS A PATRIARCHAL IMPOSSIBLE STANDARD THAT NO ONE CAN REACH. ITS A WEAPON THAT ENFORCES MISERY. IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS ARE A COMMON THEME IN UTENA TOO BECAUSE THESE STANDARDS IGNORES THE HUMAN FACTOR OF PEOPLE BEING IMPERFECT! THE CHARACTERS ARE FLAWED AND CANT REACH THE STRICT IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY CAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO BE NEATLY BE SHOVED INTO LITTLE BOXES, OR COFFINS IN THIS CASE. THE PRINCESS AND WITCH DICHOTOMY IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE STANDARDS THING AND-

i'm sooooo normal abt mediocre anime men. i like them a normal amount.

bubble! pop! elec! tric! (redraw :P)

the only reason sabo doesn't stay long with luffy when they meet is because he knows that if luffy asked him to stay and join his crew he would instantly say yes and then he'd get murdered by koala

Me 🤝 Being in love with the most traumatised one piece characters

get remixed, bitches

this bitch needs so much therapy (not evil elevator therapy, we all know how that went). or maybe just to murder someone. put a sword in her hand and tell her akio's been talking shit or smthn

I truly hate myself

its a sad song, its a sad tale, its a tragedy. but we sing it anyway

oh? you’re lesbians? which one of you turns into a car and which one drives the car?

He is more of myself than I am.

Day Seven of @bylerweek2023 - Soulmates aka: Byler x (Emily) Brontë + how he looks at you when you're not looking

ASL!

This was drawn with sci-fi au in mind, but there is not a single thing that points towards it (except maybe clothes), so it's just them having fun out of context

a bit of rambling about (Sabo in) the au under cut

First of all, I have to say that I changed the timeline a bit(mostly because I can't let a 5-year-old living alone, ....and maybe to give asl more time to spend together), Sabo is from a wealthy family of the Goa kingdom. His parents planned him to be a spacecraft engineer (a respectable and well-paid job), and made him study for it since very young age. Eventually he was unable to bear high expectations, pressure&workload and being treated as a tool and means to raise the social status rather than a person. So he runs away when he's seven. He lives at the edge of the city, near the space port, because while his studies made him nearly despise spacecraft in general, he is still in love with the romance of travelling among the stars, so he's happy to have the opportunity to see space ships. As he enjoys his newfound freedom, he realises that he can go wherever he wants, and no one is here to plan his day by hours, and since he has never left the city Sabo decides that visiting the city outskirts would be a great first step.

This is where he meets Ace. Of course they don't even try to befriend each other at first. Both of them are somewhat antisocial but for completely different reasons. But eventually loneliness, curiosity and mutual love for the space adventures brings them together. And it's the first time in his life when Sabo doesn't regret all the time he spent studying, because oh boy! He has so much interesting things to share!! After a while Dadan&Rouge learn about him too. Rouge made it clear that Sabo is welcome to visit anytime he wants to keep Ace company. She also made it explicitly clear that they mustn't get in trouble with the law or attract too much attention, but otherwise are free to do whatever they want. So they spend 3 years exploring nearby forest, learning things about spacecrafts, and preparing for their future of space captains. They even try to make models of some space ships from random junk they find. (Although Sabo doesn't spend the whole year with the Portgases (? it should be spelled like that?) and goes back to the city for a month or two(and since mobile phones and internet connection exist they know he's doing more or less okay.) Once he meets Luffy there by accident, and then Makino as well. Luffy meets Shanks at 7, and after that he stays with Rouge for the whole summer, and he is finally able to befriend Ace. After a while Rouge decides to personally pay a visit to Makino, and it becomes clear that ASL all know each other. (so they have a bit less than two years to spend as asl yay, not all that much, but still better than in canon.)

These brother are full of dreams of bright and exciting future! I sure hope nothing bad happens to them 👍
