more playlists for hyper-specific things :-)

“hi everyone! as you may know, my spotify is constantly booming with new playlists and i wanted to share more with you to help you start 2022 on the right foot! 

1. “but somewhere lost inside me there’ll always be the person i am tonight” is a quote from f. scott fitzgerald himself and also a playlist that I made for nighttime pondering. if you are stuck between studying and dissociating, watching the stars and pondering your life’s meaning, or anything in between, you’ll like this one :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0gGnjtGs7VztONYhNk1lYH?si=c8fb3d25e92d4c32

2. “but you, unlike me, are a git.” - this playlist is yet again a drarry playlist, i fell back into their spell a little while ago and wanted to create an updated one with the way i felt while falling back into it https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0SGzrgukQKKThoTS1hsdZv?si=10b2bc5c67594b1a

3. “there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy”- a quote from the famous shakespeare and a great modern playlist for the play hamlet. i loved hamlet when i read it and it is kind of a reflection of how i felt reading it for the first time :-) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GXsq2HXVeIjpXNfGUYM1b?si=b658fe03d5f7462c

4. “I see you loving on the sidelines” is a playlist i made for the transition from summer into fall, but hey, no issues listening to it now!! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1rj7ClK2ThIgB6HAHrcuZ3?si=04d0a55120a44a89

5. “love is a million things” - for all of my euphoria lovers out there, this one is for you! It’s based off of the show and I am constantly adding to it because of the new season https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0nQ5Q8Uw54LiM8IKp6EnUs?si=68c9e60e2a1141cc

6. “nothing american dream about this place” is about the movie McFarland, USA on disney +, i fell in love with it when i watched it and thought i should keep that feeling https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0r1APWI112PeTzJB8JqFyr?si=6e3615097d9549a6

7. “i had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was” is a playlist dedicated to the movie Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, which i watched the other day and fell in love with it all over again. here’s to reliving childhood! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7dtLmkUlpSrZGYBOJQNavC?si=941c856bdc544cbf

8. “you’re not lost, you’re redirecting” is a playlist i made for my friend who is going through a lot of feelings right now. if you feel like you’re about to explode into catharsis, this one is for you :-) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4gsvitdyARM0PKjarrsOo4?si=36b3d049296f4c50

9. this one is called “you’re outside a halloween party” because the aesthetic is being overwhelmed and sitting outside in the dark as the music bumps behind you in a faded tone. i created this in october, but any time of the year works for this!! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6xbVMsLqiR51uJ9J8WKN00?si=8e6fdc54b3be4926

10. “and this is when the feeling sinks in” is yet ANOTHER drarry playlist, but it is based on some of the social media aus i’ve seen about them on this app. it’s a little more carefree and less hogwarts-ish. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6tbYNL482gRYOogWKATUYT?si=71f412886dbd4de2

those are my ten for right now, happy listening!

i lied. i don’t actually like sex. put your clothes back on, i'm going to explain to you how patroclus made achilles mortal—human. achilles might have died a heartbroken hero but he lived a loved man. and it was all because of patroclus. he was loved because of patroclus, he was more immortal than his demigod blood could ever make him because of patroclus. to be loved incandescently, to be loved back with wide eyes and an open heart is more priceless than a promise from the gods.
