Halloween costume!!!!

Just watched Alan Partridge for the first time, I’m so sorry for the person I’m about to become

Not using the tags because these have stories

Three main songs come to mind, Yellow Submarine (the Beatles), B.J. Don’t Cry (Moxy Früvous), and Electric Car (They Might Be Giants).

When I was a child I would NEVER go down to bed easily, I’m talking would stay up for ages because I was afraid of nightmares (I did not have nightmares nearly often enough for this to be a relevant fear). So to combat this this, my dad developed the habit of sitting in my room and singing to me while he held me in the rocking chair, and his favorite song to sing to me was Yellow Submarine. I LOVED this song (and I still do) because it always made me think of being warm and safe in my dad’s arms, and when he sings it now to my youngest brother when he can’t sleep I tear up a lil.

If you did not grow up in Ontario, Canada or most of Upstate New York, the chances are that your ears were never graced with the acapella sounds of Moxy Früvous. Think the exact middle point between Barenaked Ladies and They Might Be Giants, and that’s basically Moxy Früvous. Their most popular album was titled Bargainville, and one year (before I was born) my dad illegally burnt a copy of Bargainville onto a CD for my mom, and the two of them played it quite a bit for me growing up. My absolute favorite song was called B. J. Don’t Cry, the story of this guy who falls in love but she doesn’t love him the same and he banishes her from his kingdom when she cheats on him a bunch (obviously I didn’t comprehend this as a kid). When I tell you little 3yo me knew all the lyrics, I knew ALL the lyrics, and I would skip to that song on the CD. I played that so much that when I play the CD now 14 years later it’s so scratched over B.J. Don’t Cry from how often I listened to it.

Around the same age as the other two songs, I first heard Electric Car. My mother had recently gotten a new phone, and kept the old one for me to play educational games on and listen to kids music. One of the apps (I can’t remember the name) had the music video for Electric Car, and I loved it so much and it calmed me down so much that we incorporated it into my bedtime routine (remember how I said I struggled to go down to bed?). I would put on my favorite duck pajamas, get in bed between my mom and dad, and then watch the music video before going to bed.

The moral of the story? KIDS REMEMBER EARLY MUSICAL MEMORIES, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT MEAN A LOT TO THEM!!!

reblog and put in the tags the earliest songs you remember actively liking as a child (asking adults to play them for you, learning the lyrics, being excited when they came on the radio etc.)

WHO ELSE IS HYPED FOR POKEMON Z (my Augustine Sycamore hyperfixation will finally be fed)

flashback to that time I told my French teacher I use they/them pronouns and I was so nervous that I just kinda stood there and stared for a second afterwards and when he asked if there was anything else I panicked and told him a random French pun

I feel like choosing ‘Not Like Us’ over literally every other nomination for Record of the Year was a wild choice. And I’m not saying this as a Beatles fan who’s sad that ‘Now and Then’ didn’t win, I just genuinely think ‘Not Like Us’ was chosen because the Kendrick and Drake drama was interesting, not because it deserved Record of the Year

when I was a child (like 3-6ish) with undiagnosed autism I would gnaw on frozen (like, fresh out of the freezer, uncooked) crinkle cut carrot slices when I wanted a snack, didn’t matter what temperature it was outside. I’m just wondering if weird teething habits are common in other people with autism, I would assume so with the existence of chewlery

I love ADHD cause I will see one small thing in a big expanse of media, let’s say a ship for example, and then hyperfixate on it for maybe two weeks. I love Autism cause occasionally it will kick in and suddenly instead of said ship being a hyperfixation it’s now a special interest and I need to know absolutely everything about this niche faction of media and consume all the fanart, fanfics, headcannons, and facts about it. Case in point, Jedtavius. I binged all four NATM movies recently (PSA don’t watch the animated one, it sucks) and saw the evolution of Jedediah and Octavius’ relationship throughout, and it became my new hyperfixation. I consumed a bunch of fics, some fanart, and though that was gonna be it…until the special interest kicked in and now I know incredibly too much information about two figures in history that have nothing to do with one another. And that’s not to portray autism or ADHD as being turned on and off like the flip of a switch, they’re always there, it’s just not often that my hyperfixations and special interests overlap surprisingly. Anyways if y’all wanna see me rant about my favorite two tiny gays please let me know. Happy autism awareness month!

don’t know why the majority isn’t saying Ringo when we’ve seen the things he does with camera filters
