#wrote this whole thing while listening to hamilton soundtrack lol
Text
i think we can all agree that it’s not gonna be as simple as ‘arthur gets his daughter back, john and arthur get to live separately’ right? but what if it was? (well not quite but hear me out)
kayne has shown that he’s able to interact with faroe in other timelines, and also transport people (john and arthur atleast) between those timelines, but would he really be capable of creating a whole new faroe for arthur even if he is telling the truth? or of giving john his own body? i don’t think so.
i reckon that, for kayne to bring back faroe in the ‘middle c’ universe, he’d have to take her out of another timeline, which would cause all sorts of problems elswhere. (although tbh i wouldn’t put it past kayne. he doesn’t seem all that bothered as to what effects his actions have on other timelines). even if arthur got faroe back, would he just be forced to let her go/have her taken away from him because of some interdimentional reasons beyond his control?
also, what’s so special about the arthur in our timeline? i mean, kayne is most likely not even from the ‘middle c’ timeline, and the whole ‘darkthur’ thing shows he’s been following what’s been going on in the other timelines. who’s to say he’s not been making empty promises to every other arthur and john? AND IF HE HAS WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN (does he need the same thing from multiple timelines?? tbh i don’t think this point is particularly likely, but just putting it out there)
and as for john getting his own body - he wouldn’t be getting his own back. unless kayne is planning on reuniting him with the king in yellow, where the hell would he be getting that body from? would it be human? would it not? (OR HE COULD JUST PUT HIM IN PARKERS DEAD BODY SSJSJDJGJKFJGG)
the promises he made them are really vague which makes me think he’s definitely not giving them the full picture of the deal they’re making (i mean considering it’s kayne we’re talking about i guess that was a given but still).
also i get that, considering the threats that kayne has made, they don’t have much of a choice but to do what he’s told them to, but what about the repercussions of giving kayne what he wants? it’s clearly not gonna be anything good, and now i come to think of it we know next to nothing about his actual motives. so far he’s pretty much just showed up, killed people, and caused problems.
i’m gonna be real i wasn’t paying that much attention at this point in the episode so i can’t actually remember exactly what he wanted arthur and john to get, but considering the threats he made to make sure they didn’t have any option but to do what he wanted, it’s gotta be really important to him.
and tbh, i’ve got a feeling kayne is working for someone, or atleast being made to do this. he went to some pretty big lengths to prove to john and arthur not only how much power he had, but to make it clear what he was willing to do with that power. i don’t actually have much evidence to back this point up tbh but IVE GOT A FEELING ABOUT IT OK
and also why does he need arthur to do it? is it arthur specifically that he needs for whatever reason? i mean that would make sense, why else would kayne be forcing him to do it, and why else would he have gotten john to try and make arthur get that stone (was that what it was? again, i’m bad at following for the whole hour) in new york.
but has he made them do whatever it is because he knows something will happen? has he made all those promises to john and arthur knowing it won’t matter either way because they aren’t going to make it back?
tldr, even if kayne were to give john and arthur what he said he would, there’s no way it would be as simple as he says it is
(wow, didn’t expect this post to go on for so long, well done for reading if you got up to here, have an unrelated doodle i drew in my physics book below the cut and go drink some water or something)

Hey, whats your story? I’m curious how ya became Lin-Manuel Miranda’s fan 😄
STORY TIME!
ok anon, so the thing is, i've heard about this guy before, i've been familiar with some of his stuff, but i was never really interested (shame on me. I KNOW).
it changed a little bit when i heard about encanto (2021) for the first time and actually fell in love with the soundtrack before i even saw the movie. i remember i even learned how to play "we don't talk about bruno" on ukulele lol. the soundtrack was actually the reason i decided to watch it (and i knew nothing about the plot, this was the first time something like this happened to me). i totally loved it of course and i was truly obsessed for a while (i just wasn't loud about it). not even with the movie but with the songs. and of course i knew who wrote them.
so i've been planning to watch hamilton for a very long time and this thought just came back to me this year when my bestie started fixating on the little mermaid (2023) and she was actually the one who told me lin is writing some songs for the soundtrack. we were both so hyped. i remember i didn't know that much about him back then but i slowly started falling in love with his music and after seeing the little mermaid i was just like OK IT'S TIME FOR HAMILTON NOW. first i listened to some songs and i loved them so much i eventually decided to watch the play, so i did that and... oh boy, i knew i was fucked.
honestly, anon, i don't know if anyone even knows about this but the night i saw hamilton for the first time was also the worst night of my life (some personal shit happened) and after that i decided to focus my whole energy on this new fixation which helped me get through the hardest period of my life. and it's not only hamilton, it's mr miranda himself. i literally fell in love with his beautiful mind, i think i will never get tired of his music, both hamilton and in the heights are my comfort soundtracks now. i could talk about him for hours. i could also watch him talk for hours. so i know i am very loud about my love for him but i don't think that's ever going to change and i'm not even sorry. he is the love of my life.

Sorry to hear how your family got cheated with the cleaning “service,” it wasn’t right that girl bailed on you and your mom. Hoping she doesn’t get paid.)
Encanto is meant to be a musical, so you wouldn’t be missing out too much by only listening to the soundtrack (which is a BANGER!)
Lin Manuel Miranda wrote all the music, who is the same gentleman that wrote Hamilton. So, you know it’s going to be good!
Here’s a few songs that I recommend—
“Family Madrigal” — Introduces everyone to the main cast and explains everyone’s gifts, which are somewhat similar to the Descendants of the trio AU. Can you imagine Eric or Space trying to introduce all the egos—Their very large, extended family?
“Surface Pressure” — It’s about Luisa, a middle-sibling with super-strength, becoming overwhelmed with acting as the literal beast-of-burden for her family. If you’re looking for angst, the lyrics, “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service,” hits FEELS. Might work best with Blue!Google. As he is everyone’s go-to for assistance and likely fears any flaws would render him obsolete.
“What Else Can I Do?” — About learning to seize the moment. Very catchy. I feel like it could go with Host and his adjustment into becoming blind—He’s figuring out his narrative abilities or at the very least he’s maturing out of the Author’s need for perfection. (Bonus points: I may have been reading a few old fics, so picture Bing in the chorus, “Bring it in, bring it in!”) Probably effecting the weather and colors of the sky instead of flowers.
“Dos orguitas” — LITERAL TEARS. It’s even worse when the main characters of the video have triplets, just like in the variations of the Descendants of the trio AU. Just Damien holding Celine’s children if she were to get killed and the Manor corrupting him into Dark—Isolating space to make a whole new town. You have to watch the song-scene posted by DisneyMusicVEVO, because it provides context for the story as well as the Spanish lyrics.
Also, for “Dos orguitas,” obviously I’m not shipping Damien and Celine. lol. Just sayin’, in my mind if the events during the music were to take place, I’d imagine that it would show the rise and fall of Celine and Actor’s relationship—Not to mention, the twins reconciling after not hearing from one another in a while. Celine realizes she’s pregnant after separating from Actor and goes to her brother to help her figure things out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll take your word for it, Anon! These sounds like fun scenerios, well... fun for us XD Not all of them so fun for the Lads... sorry lads.

Songs to *Fall* for
Tumblr media
Well, kiddos - it’s time to dust off your books, make the annual trip to Staples, and have one last BBQ because summer is over, guys. But if you’re an oldie like me working that full time job, you’re probably unclear of what time of year it is because in your mind, you’re already thinking forward to Spring 2019. lol! It may just be another Tuesday for us, but think back, way back, to when Labour Day meant new possibilities! Take that open attitude and listen to the songs below! These are the songs that have been on repeat in my headphones over the past few months and there’s no better time to take these songs with you into the Fall and let them bless your lifeeeee -- click HERE to go my Spotify Playlist and read below for more info on each track:
“Fade Away (Clean Version)” - Logic
I heard this intro of this song in the first few minutes of one of those new Shondaland shows and had to find out what it was. The opening is a sample looped from an acapella group’s arrangement of “Deck the Halls” - so cool! As soon as that beat dropped in, I was hooked. I’m not super familiar with Logic, but I like the song’s concept -- it’s about doing something before you fade away. So I put this song on when I need to feel that pump-up motivation to go out and make moves - perfect for a new season, huh?
“The Best” - James Bay
I don’t think I need to say much here — the song speaks for itself! If you know the Tina Turner original (which, of course, you should), you’ll like this. James Bay has a great voice as well, and this does what a great cover should, gives the song a different feel, but while pointing the listener right back to the original. #TBT
“Vain” - KIRBY
This girl is bomb!!! But I don’t know anything about her - anyone got some info? I only know two songs, but both of them I love ALOT. If she ever travels to Toronto, find me a front row seat. Soulful in allllll the right ways (got that organ ending!!!). 100 thumbs up!
“Just The Way You Are” - James Smith
Another great cover - simply done. I don’t know this artist, just came up on my Spotify and it made me feel good! I’ll take an acoustic performance instead of an overly produced single any day of the week. By the time the song ended, I was like, “Okay sir!!” Love this one.
“Shy" - Leon Bridges
The new, reinvented Leon Bridges! I was aware of him, but something changed between his first album and second album cuz I definitely like him more than I did before. Love the groove on this one. Check out his whole album “Good Thing” for more ‘good things’ hahah (I’ll see myself out lol)
“Six” - Sleeping At Last
This is an indulgent choice but bear with me! Sleeping At Last is an artist who you’ve likely heard in the background of your favourite tv shows (his music is on Grey’s a lot) but he’ll do themed albums and this song “Six” is from a series of songs that he wrote based on the 9 different Enneagram personality types. If you haven’t heard of the Enneagram, I would encourage you to look it up and see which type you relate to — for me, it’s 6 and this song was written to reflect/respond to that personality type. For each song, there is also a corresponding podcast where you are taken through how the song was made, and gives you more info on the type. Interested? Go here. I just love understanding more about personality types and knowing that some of the quirks you may have seen as faults are actually just a part of your personality - you are not alone in feeling the way you do! 
“Your Love” - Tim Bowman Jr.
This is my jam of the year! On the morning of my birthday, I put this on and had a little praise dance party - good vibes! When I first heard this one, I loved how it sounded, but then realized he was talking about the Lord?! Yessir!  Smooth, smooth, smooth AND a baseline for dayyysss. This just makes me happy - reminds you that despite whatever is going on, you are loved and it’s gonna be ok! That’s enough to make me wanna dance~
“Time Will Be The Healer” - Glen Hansard
I got this song recommended to me through Twitter, but I should’ve known I’d like it. Glen Hansard is one of my favourites - it seems a little random, but ever since the ONCE soundtrack, I’ve loved his music. And I’ve wondered what exactly it is, but I think I just really like any artist who sings as if their life depends on it — that raw passion in the last third of the song really comes through. And the sentiment here is true — time will be the healer once again, yes it will.
“Without You” - Leslie Odom Jr.
Wow just realizing how many of these are covers….lol! Anywhoo, this is another one - this time by Leslie Odom Jr. of “Hamilton” fame, one of my favourite performers right now. Plus I love how they made this song, which was originally done as a duet into a solo, and with that simple instrumentation, it really showcases his voice. Next on my list - go see Hamilton lol
“Uphill Battle” - Rozzi
A new discovery for me - Rozzi. I first came across this song via a dance video on Twitter and was immediately wondering who the singer was. Her voice is pretty unique and I couldn’t place it, so my investigation began! Very new - I don’t think she even has a full album out yet, but definitely one to watch! And I’ll link the dance video here — I think a reason I like this song, besides Rozzi’s voice, is the concept behind the lyrics. That idea of knowing that you are, or are going to be, a challenge to someone who is trying to love you?! That’s some real stuff right there..
“Crazy Love” - Chris McClarney
I’ve always liked Chris McClarney, because he’s one of the few praise & worship leaders who, when they sing, really SIIINNNGGG, like he saaaangs. So when my small group leader played this at one of our meetups, I knew it would be good. But I was so touched by the song and every time it comes on in the shuffle, I just have to stop and thank Him. “There’s nothing that can change it, Your love, your love; there’s no one that could tame it, this crazy love”. What a message to walk into your day with! That there is powerful!
“For My Good” - Judah Band
This song is purely for the shout - just put this on repeat and get into it. Such high energy, it makes me wanna move!!! And it’s a good reminder - no matter what it looks like, ALL things work together for my good! Even the things that seem bad to us at first. I’ve had many car jams to this one — you get to that stop light and are just doing a little shouting in your seat! HEYYY NOWWWWW
“Rejoice” - Steve Angello (ft. TD Jakes)
I came across this song on an athlete’s Instagram account — the person was doing these intense pull ups with this in the background, and I’m trying to be on that fitness thang, so I made this part of my workout playlist. I love that this artist just mixed a sermon into this track, like who knew I needed to hear TD Jakes yelling motivation while I worked out?!  haha But even when not working out, this will fire you up! “Woe be unto you if you go into another year and waste another year [...] while someone’s in the hospital begging God for the opportunity that you have right now…” Now if that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will!! 
One last cover to make it an even 14 songs -- we’ll end with Jessie J’s cover of James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good)” - FIREEEEE
Here’s the link to the playlist on Spotify one more time:

ENJOY!
