"It's off with his head and on with the show!" is a mood as well though!

THIS WAS THE POST I WAS WRITING WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT THE US ELECTIONS. LIKE. I WAS PASTING SOME LINKS IN AND THEN THERE WAS A NOTIFICATION SAYING THAT IT HAD BEEN CALLED.

• Wolf Totem by The HU and Jacoby Shaddix — Okay, I am the person who went "Oh hey, a Mongolian metal band? I should DEFINITELY check that out!" and then forgot about it until youtube brought me a Fate AMV about Archer being sad. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CAN'T APOLOGISE BECAUSE I HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING. But they are so fucking metal, and I am low-key in love with how deep their voices are, holy fuck.


• She's Electric by Oasis — I think my family is still messier than the one in this song, and yet.


• Worried About Ray by The Hoosiers — The 2020 mood: "Truth be told / the truth be told / I'm worried what the future holds / the future holds / I'm so tired / of being worried / about Ray"


• Goddamn I'm Dead Again by Sum 41 — I've still not played Hades yet, but this is my understanding of the plot. (Also, I'm not saying that "It's off with his head, and on with the show / The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow / And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more" joined my victory playlist at any point this weekend, BUT.)


• Without Me by Eminem — sithe's current reality tv show is about up-and-coming british rappers competing for a contract, and there is one fucking white dude who is Sure There As Well and this is all I get every time he starts kvetching.


• Prison Song by System of a Down — Do you ever think about how System of a Down have a song that is like 75% someone reading off statistics about the US prison system? (Also they're raising money for relief efforts in Armenia, if you missed it.)


• What's Up Danger by Blackway and Black Caviar — Housemate put Into the Spiderverse on this afternoon, and how did I forget that this scene was perfect?

In other news, I read books today! Prose books! That I deliberately and specifically sat down to read! And promptly burst into tears over, because it has been so long since I read a book! I have been in a maybe-depression, maybe-insuffient sleep, maybe-whatever slump for... A while...? And all I've had the energy to do is read tropey Scum Villain fic for that delicious artificial burst of feeling. But no! I chose books that I'd been excited about at the start of lockdown and actually read them!

... I feel like me again. Between this and the week of slowly plunking away at writing again, I feel – I feel again! ;_______;
