this is my favorite A' song and I was surprised to see it not been translated yet (as far as I know). A' does actually say "pi/pinch" 102 times in this song. this is not proofread at all. as always, tl under the cut!
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Focus your eyes and look closely
How about those who can manipulate their words
They show you dreams, then snatch them away?
Going with the flow of the waves, I’m uneasy
Embracing the night, I’m obstructed
At the park where I held the deceased cicada (Hey)
He reached out to me (What do you want?)
If you keep this up you’ll end up eaten (Oh really)
He struck me
Let’s run away right now
Let’s throw it away right now
Let’s break it right now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Don’t overdo it”
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Bless yourself”
Amidst a sandstorm that I can’t seem to escape
As expected, the warmth, I’m realizing it’s all suspicious
On this planet, anyone and everyone is looking down
Neutralizing their mind, and usurping power
Where is that faint light that I saw
Should we get rid of all means of communication and go for a ride?
Feeling isolated after showing off my scars (Jeez)
I’m drowning out in the ocean (Splash)
Curled up in the corner of the trailer (Boohoo)
My eyes are opening
Miracle, cram it all
Miracle, fake it all
Miracle, good morning
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Lead astray in life
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Be courageous
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Don’t try to understand everything and everything
Even the lies of an unconfident adult
The only one that can go through with this song behind closed doors
Etan is the only victor
Realize, the future
Realize, relight
Realize, even now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Trust in each other
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
We can go anywhere
I think people who consider aromanticism as "basically straight" underestimate how noticeable absence can be to those around you.
Whether you're a kid in school with classmates who won't take "no one" as an answer to who you have a crush on or an adult whose coworkers have picked up on the fact that you've never mentioned a romantic partner; after enough time, a lack or insufficient amount of romantic interest will raise the antennae of friends, family, coworkers, etc... They will notice and they will speculate and they will ask.
It is impossible to meet the societal bar for straightness through inaction.
milgramblr is this anything
hitting everyone with the aroace beam>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It's one of my favorite things ever!! I love doing it haha
Aro only + ace only versions under the cut!
im going to assist in the honeyworks kidnapping attempts that blake is using me as a proxy for by introducing all of my beloved mutuals to my favorite idol unit (or apparently a "dance-vocal unit" but come on . they're idols) full throttle4!!!
the group consists of five members - yui and rio (the vocalists), dai and megu (the dancers), and iv (the producer/manager/composer) !!
you may be asking "hang on now If their name is Full Throttle4 then why are there five of them???" and thats a great question!
official merch suggests its because its actually a reference to iv, as his name is also the roman numeral for '4' ! ^_^ (fun fact: these guys REALLY love their manager!!)
their music bangs and everyone in ft4 has a character song relating to them and their backstories, but they can get pretty heavy, so please don't feel urged to watch them if you feel like they'll trigger you OTL also no eng subs . sorry !!
you can watch them in any order you want, the only thing i recommend is that you listen to the character songs first and leave welcome sicks for last! (also worth noting that yui and rio's seiyuus sing all of these songs since they're the vocalists, but they let dai and megu sing in welcome sicks and its Great)
GOOD BYE (YUI)
TW: death of a family member (specifically a grandparent)
2. TO FAMILY (RIO)
TW: death of a family member (specifically a brother), suicide
3. FAKE STAR (DAI)
TW: explicit child abuse
4. Dear LAYLA (MEGU)
TW: animal death (not onscreen)
5. LOVE ANTHEM (IV)
TW: hospitalization/chronic illness
6. WELCOME SICKS (ALL)
TW: there's blood at the very end but it's a pretty fun mv overall ^_^
if you want to learn more about ft4 after that, please consider reading some of their event stories from the hanipre app! deus-ex-mona does a great job translating them, my personal favorite is make a holiday which is all about ft4 doing their best to give their hardworking manager a break!
(stares at 'breaktime from the hardworking you' on sekai, 'make a holiday' on hanipre, and all of my various hcs about characters helping each other relax... do you guys think i have a type?)
anyway my work here is done!! if you ever want to talk about ft4 i will always be here like the polyamorous demon i am ^_^
i love how we all collectively agree that allen is the resident boyfailure of bae and paradox live. he never had a chance with members like hajun and anne who slay extra hard by just existing. at least he writes good songs
tfw you visibly base your entire identity around One Specific Character Or Thing so that whenever it gets brought up (or left out) of a conversation you look like this pointing it out
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HYUNA, who was presumably forced to be an Idol for the alien stage and definitely suffered in her past for it, stills wants to sing for other humans even after escaping. She wants to spread music purely for music's sake, to get people hyped up and cheerful, because she loves singing and wants her audience to love singing and see it as smth fun and not just a talent the aliens abuse for sadistic entertainment. She's redefining singing despite how it's treated her and it's kinda beautiful and wholesome.
My name is Hossam Al-Bardawil. I lost my entire family, and all that remains is the rubble of my home and my nieces and nephews who survived with me. In one moment, my life changed forever, yet I try to stay strong for those who are still with me.
My fundraising campaign has been paused for a while, and now I’m asking for your support and to share my campaign everywhere. I cannot continue without your help. Any donation or even sharing my campaign could be the reason we are able to survive and keep going.
Thank you to everyone who will stand by me during these difficult times.🙏
