Shows I've Seen...
Playlists...
a mixed bag of every song i've ever enjoyed
a bedtime playlist full of slow jams
cis men writing *suspiciously* trans lyrics
hard-hitting screamers
religious trauma goes crazy
love songs that kind of hurt
unusually optimistic
slow jams perfect for a drizzly bus ride through the PNW
when you're on the road, see: 'riding the king country metro bus in the rain'
when its sad song and pretending to be in an edit time 😈
internet deep cuts, dreamworks osts, and gulty-pleasure eminem songs
a little misogyny as a treat
self-explanatory
falling in love while the world falls apart
sex without the baggage; aroallo anthems
→ Gabe's voice in literally any The Hobby song
→ when tim mcilrath screams SEVEN SHOTGUN SHELLS in the ballad of hollis brown
→ the bass tone in The Unraveling (Album) is sooooo fucking funky
