listen, love "espresso" by sabrina carpenter. but my specific cocktail of mental neuroses will not let me let this go
And I got this one boy and he won't stop callin / When they act this way, I know I got 'em
that's the end of verse 1 right?
this is the end of verse 2
My twisted humor make him laugh so often / My honeybee, come and get this pollen
...shouldn't the end of those two rhyme schemes be switched?
like shouldn't it go somethin like:
And I got this one boy and he won't stop callin / My honeybee, come and get this pollen
and then
My twisted humor make him laugh so often / When they act this way, I know I got 'em
although this is not NEARLY the most egregious example of this. anybody remember that song "gold" from a while back?? that one with the line:
I missed you in the basement / But your brother was a good substitute for you
....."REPLACEMENT" WAS RIGHT THERE
I missed you in the basement / But your brother was a good ̶s̶u̶b̶s̶t̶i̶t̶u̶t̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ replacement
LIKE IT WAS RIGHT THERE YYYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MY BRAIN

Idk why but this line from In The Morning by Built to Spill just repeats over and over in my head... maybe it's cuz I used to listen to the Front Bottoms song where they ape that line in high school. Something about the way Doug Martsch says it just scratches my brain ykwim ..

My Jeans is probably the best of its kind – by which I mean the batch of 2010s crappy electro teen pop a la Friday and Chinese Food. Completely cheap but perfectly catchy beat, utterly frivolous concept, kinda goated outfits, some weirdly incredible lines (feels like heelies are racing down my spine), but for me the best part is Baby Triggy’s TWO verses that sandwich the song’s bridge. It’s a take on the hip hop feature craze that was taking pop music by storm at the time, an honestky underrated aspect of the era, but its outsider nature lends it Some really fun quirks. theres so much: the structural weirdness already mentioned, where he low-key goes bar for bar with Jenna before he gets into his verse proper; his hype man who honestky could be twice his age; and the repetition of the line “woah, Trigg got a new blackberry?” perfectly dating the entire piece. that’s not even mentioning his basic but smooth flow, and the way his lyrics referring to male celebrities (MJ, Jay-Z) wearing his jeans parallels Jenna’s own comparisons to Hannah Montana and Ashley Tisdale

sometimes i really do think the world is ending. and i know that’s not niche- not one bit
but i feel it in the sense it’s hormonal, in the sense it’s so obviously not, that is the fuel, the jerrycan and the gas station cashier, it is me it is her it is the accordion and it is the birds and how they sing
i’ve so much to say, right now, but no one to say it to

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter
weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic
basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like
eh, i'm having fun🤷♀️

mae borowski returns to her hometown of possum springs, and with her return comes some long-time-coming reunions and unsolved mysteries
this game broke me
played it the week it came out back in 2017, and in hit me in that way some media does where it comes at a point in your life where it feels all too specific to your circumstances and it opens wounds you didn't even know went that deep. this shit felt like the therapy session you needed but reeeeally didn't want to go to. healing and hurtful, all at once
also just happens to be extremely funny. it's a very specific kind of humor, where even in the rare moments it doesn't land, it still lands because the circumstances around it make it all the funnier. something as simple as a too-long pause in the dialogue will have me in stitches
deserves all the love in the world, and it will forever have my whole heart. WITCHDAGGAH

in agreement with mouse nitw soup rema see
also agree with them that definitely limbo or inside will scratch the little nightmares itch, arguably playdead's games are a big inspiration for little nightmares.
depending on what you're into (more story or more gameplay heavy) for story. i cannot recommend "what remains of edith finch" enough. just a true gem and some of the best of interactive storytelling
for gameplay i love the witness, hi fi rush, and neon white. all very different, but maybe you'll find something you'll like
for a mix if both, disco elysium. dialogue HEAVY, but based in like ttrpg systems, it's really fun. REALLY long though, like maybe put aside some time to crack that one open lol
