on sunday our wonderful eberron campaign dm'd by @nickandros finished after two years!
i will miss my silly little lightning witch turned deathmaiden who learned some hard truths about the world she lived in and i will also dearly miss the party, even as they are scattered to the far corners of khorvaire
it's been a wild ride and an absolute privilege to play in a game with such incredible players and such an outstanding dm

cathy's works are always a treat for my heart. they found and make beauty in it; be it dark, humorous, or sweet fluffiness, cathy just nailed them all ✨
they're the ones who have been giving me wonderful pieces of lotr fanfictions, and from there i discovered their blog and youtube channel full of wonderful lord of the rings edits 🌼
still hopelessly crying because of their aragorn and frodo video that they made for me. it's a masterpiece because cathy didn't merely make an edit－they really made a whole story. it's just ethereally beautiful ; ;
lord of the rings fans, please visit and give love to cathy's pages of creations. samfro, arawen, merpip, arafro, farwyn, wonderful tributes to every fellowship member, cracks, cathy do deliver them all!
they have been nothing but wonderful and supportive to me. in this post dedicated to you, my dear cathy, i sincerely hope only the best of everything that would always come to you. we're so, so far away, but the feeling of love is ever present and apparent for me.
for the album thing i think you should rank iliwys AND that version of the debut that includes every single ep. for a laugh
jesus fucking christ. now. here’s the thing. i was a 1975 fan pre-debut i was insane at 14 okay. so i cannot call the eps part of debut. so im going to rank them alone and therefore this shit is going under a cut. also beware those who will click you’re about to get a very revealing look into my relationships with drugs sex and love all through the ranking of one of the most overrated bands of all time. but debut and eps will always hit for me
eps:
antichrist. it’s a perfect song unfortunately
you. i am a you girl it is SUCH a good song i have had so many breakdowns to this. unfortunately i have had this exact relationship before as well HA
milk. girls who swore off drugs at 21 after an awful couple of years rights!
me. iconic depression song
chocolate. forever banger
haunt / bed. love a long sad synth
sex. great driving song
the city. i spent 3 weeks learning to play this on the drums perfectly
head cars bending. it hits it does it does. will say that the remix version is so much better though
fallingforyou. LOVE a long sad synth
so far it’s alright
hnscc / facedown
woman. shut the fuck up matty healy
debut: (shoutout to me meeting george at big day out 2016 and having a RIGHT good time)
menswear. god the drop at 1:39 of menswear - the 1975 will always fill me with feelings
settle down. one simply must dance
heart out. yeah <3
talk!
chocolate. once again it’s a forever banger
pressure
sex. see above
the city. see above
girls. i could once play this (badly) on guitar. but matty healy, please stop talking about women, i want to be depressed and thinking about drugs
robbers. YES depression drug anthems!!!
is there somebody who can watch you. won’t go into it but yes this is the sadboy content i asked for
the 1975. home many times are they going to release this same song with a different arrangement. you are not charli xcx with clique/c2.0 stop. fucking trying. also this is where im gonna say im not counting an encounter or 12 in this ranking but consider them to exist here
M.O.N.E.Y. matty healy just like i don’t want to hear you talk about women i don’t want to hear you talk about money silver spoon bastard. wish that weren’t the theme of the song bc it really does hit sonically
iliwys: here’s where i say i literally only care about like 5 songs on this album this is where they fell off for me :/
if i believe you. RELIGION DEPRESSION AND DRUGS? wish this didn’t hit for me in the way it does.
somebody else. 80s pop. the sheer amount of times the word body appears in this song is a piece of genius matty healy could never have intended
loving someone. i love the mixture of synth sounds and ‘real’ sounds in this song but also matty you are not as clever as you think you are i hate you
the ballad of me and my brain. yelling!
love me. i know most people hate this song but i think it’s one of their coolest musical arrangements there was nothing that sounded like this at the time it was released
the sound. it’s so much fun :)
ugh! i’m not giving it up again <3
everything else
a change of heart. i fucking HATE YOU MATTY HEALY SHUT UP ABOUT WOMEN
gosh. I think its the one I did for medieval literature, where I discussed the witch trials as being more about anti-semitism than about misogyny, though the two were still linked - I think that was the paper I was the most invested in.
49. What are your thoughts on Academia?
needs to be more accessible, papers need to be written better... and also I think - for academia written in english anyway - we need to move away from the eurocentricism and stop saying the same things over and over again!!! like do something new!! always the same theories... always the same texts...
50. Strangest university tip you have?
idk if this is strange but I’d say pack your own food! saves time, money, and really makes your body feel better in the long run because there’s lesser oil etc used.
