Oh god, I feel this. Worst is when someone makes a mix and they decide to put multiple albums worth of music from one artist on it. Your mix does not need to be 76 songs long with 25 songs by Mitski Dx (And then 15 by Mother Mother. And another 12 by Will Wood...)

(also no shade to these bands, I do like them, but. There's a limit!)

*checks my OTP playlist*

OK, so there's ONE Taylor Swift song, but that's all and I think that's forgivable.

I love finding songs that apply to a ship, regardless of the decade or genre. Even if I don't care about the ship itself! It's just fun. I'm not a fan of when people try to force a song just because they so badly want it to fit a ship. Also, some songs are far too... broad in meaning? That I feel it doesn't do anything for the ship at all.

Of course, I'm also guilty of thinking "yeah, this section of song is enough" even if other parts of the song don't quite gel or just outright contradict a ship.

[(Anonymous)]

I've done playlists and I don't even like Taylor Swift's music (and I've never even heard of those other guys)!

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, I have a playlist for one of my favorite ships that doesn't have any of those artists on there. Mine is chock full of older music.

I have definitely seen playlists in my fandom that do have those artists, though. Or at least, I know Swift and Mitski are on them - I've not heard of the other two listed in this secret and I don't recall ever seeing them pop up in my fandom. I do agree with this secret, though, yeah, it does feel sometimes like people are focusing more on whatever the hot artist of the moment is rather than what songs might actually fit the ship in question.

But even then, I still like seeing people's playlists anyway, if for no other reason than it can be a fun way to discover new (or new to me, anyway) music.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a fun secret for me because I was really into fan mixes several years ago, and it's fun to see that some of the main music choices have changed but some are the same (Mother Mother was on every playlist a decade ago too). I've noticed that certain songs or artists would get very popular for awhile and used on almost every mix. People definitely approach mixes with different levels of seriousness and curation, some just putting songs they like and vaguely associate with the characters, some trying to tell a clear story, and everything between. I prefer more curated mixes but mine definitely are biased towards my own favorite artists and the popular artists I connect to the most too.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly this is why I can't just look up other people's ship playlists! There are a lot of popular songs that I see over and over again no matter what ship I'm looking up and it never feels right for the characters.

I mean, I love making my own playlists anyway, but every time I think 'oh, maybe someone will have thought of an interesting song I didn't think of', I find... the same five popular artists, the same few songs that DON'T make me think of the ship in question.

[philstar22]

I see this less in my fandom, but my fandom in general tends to lean towards more eclectic music in mixes.

[hey_hey_hey]

Kind of like every one of those lists had a Snow Patrol or Bright Eyes song. I still don't know who the fuck Snow Patrol are.

Huh, I really like Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t have a single one of her songs on any of my ship playlists. I don’t know who any of these artists are, but I generally pick songs based on vibes (the lyrics don’t always have to match the ship). If a friend also has the same ship, I ask them for song recs too.

[(Anonymous)]

It used to be Florence + the Machine, Mumford and Sons and Adele (two songs only), and before that it was Evanescence and Linkin Park!

That seems pretty silly to me.

Should the same be true of US remakes of US movies? Why or why not?

This is only slightly related, but I remember reading. a Junji Ito story where part of the horror was that the people did burials instead of cremations. I think the characters were saying how creepy it was to walk over ground where bones were buried.

You're wrong, OP. Me and my anime clone from another dimension commit selfcest all the time after we read a fic about it on AO3. If only we hadn't read that fic, none of this would have happened, and we'd have remained lifelong anime rivals with unresolved sexual tension instead.

I’m curious if you’d be willing to share some examples, OP.

I agree that there are things about Natlan that are jarring in comparison to the rest of the game (though I also feel like...every nation is different from the others and it's kind of funny that so many people are mad that Natlan is...also different). But I'm also thinking that that is entirely intentional. We're getting deep in the latter half of the story now, Hoyo has to start ramping things up in a serious way to get wherever it is they're taking us.

Though really I still think a big part of people's problem with Natlan is simply that since Hoyo basically gave us nothing to work with about what it would be like before they released it that we had four years of Making Shit Up regarding it and when it was released and it was pretty much nothing like the Made Up Shit, people were inevitably disappointed and thrown off.

Note: I am not calling the ideas people had for Natlan actual shit, to be clear.

I'mma need you to specify which "awful" tv show you mean because if you're talking about the Ms Marvel series, we gonna fight. I thought it was a delightful show that could stand alone outside of anything Marvel, and honestly the comic book shit was the worst part of it. Give me magical girl with historically-relevant background and keep your superhero idiocy thanks.

So I read all of Naruto ages ago and don’t remember too many key details, but I do remember being really annoyed that Naruto had this amazing pedigree all along when one of the themes of the story was hard work. Should’ve made Rock Lee the main character instead. There’s so much in Naruto that bugged me, but the series made me realize I liked slash, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart.
