last edit isn't showing yet for Pink's Funhouse... but it should appear eventually. This was interesting and a fun challenge. I was able to find common ground with songs but I have to admit I tend to be a bit lighter in my own preferences. One of my all time favs is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM as it converts a kid's song into something cool... and it's one of the rare music videos that I love to watch. I also enjoy music from Piano Guys (fun music videos also), jazz, and other things. But... the one song I didn't know that I fell in love with is The Princess Who Saved Herself... that's me :D Well... ok add Gismo in there, my support network, etc. but I manage (with help) to get things done :D

& kylonaberrie HAPPY BIRTHDAYS shakes pompoms

Kinky I'm glad I made the change to come here... much more welcoming and enjoyable. 2 years goes by fast but I achieved a lot thanks to the help of others and my perseverance. Poukie is t10, I have a lovely wardrobe, and adorable pets... 010 newest addition adopted her a few days ago and she's afraid of the dark... collecting lights :)

Thanks :) An Aspie friend of mine encouraged me to come a few years ago but I wasn't ready to change until my old place became so bitter that my volunteer efforts were being wasted. Here I feel accepted and appreciated, much better atmosphere :) Eyes starting to give out on me, better rest soon, sweet dreams all ❤

all gift boxes have now been sent! please let me know if you think i missed one!

okay, it was really hard deciding because yall did such a good job! but i went and decided, and the winners are..........

first place - centuries by

what a beautiful HA! i just want to keep on looking at it! the colours all work beautifully with each other, but it's a wide enough palette to hold interest. furthermore, it fits the sunset feeling of the song perfectly, as well as the feeling of a mythos, and the mention of cherry blossoms. it glows. congratulations, and well done!

runners up - terrible things by , where do we go by , and right where it belongs by

these are all super well polished HAs, and pretty too! each of them caught my attention with how complete of scenes they are, how pretty the colours you chose are, and how much i can feel the respective songs just by looking at them.

special mentions, because i can't just pick 4

i'm the bad guy by , numb by , which witch by , good enough for grandpa by , you should see me in a crown by

changeling by , the princess who saved herself by , hit me with your best shot by , arsonist's lullaby by , it's the end of the world as we know it by

these are some really nice HAs you all put together! i loved them and couldn't help giving them mention even though i only promised 4 winners ^-^ i will be sending each of you a little something, too.

now, for the raffle.... i went through and double checked all the tickets for the entries to make sure i got the numbers right. and then i consulted the wily rng and the results are in!

(69 tickets total. nice.)

the winner is !! and well earned, i loved seeing all your lovely entries. please let me know which crystal shop item(s) you would like and i will send them your way! you can spend up to 1000 :)

teacup also had the most raffle tickets, but as you cannot win both prizes, that goes to !

as for the surprise favourite songs... i will post them once someone else posts, i don't want to run out of character space and i wanna gush about them a little.

thank you so much everyone for participating! this was so much fun! prizes will go out soon. you can join my forum group if you would like to participate in more contests i host :)

also, watch the avatar games and contests thread, because this birthday bash isn't over yet... ;)

This was a lot of fun & distracted me from being stuck inside due to the weather. For the Crystal Shop, I'd love

By the way, which is your group forum?

wow thanks! I really wasn't sure about my outfit you picked (a normal feeling about my "real life civilian" HAs in general), but I'm glad you liked it!

Congrats to the other winners~

sorry, forgot to mention, my forum group is linked in my signature! i don't wanna ping it and wake everyone up for no good reason, but it's # bigworm, if you see it around.

also i'm glad i could provide a needed distraction! if you still want something to work on, i'm going to be posting a new contest in the main thread later today!

you're welcome! thanks for participating, i'm glad you had fun!

oh, i loved that outfit (clearly) ! her tight little expression, all the colour around her while she herself is grey... it's great, and says so much even without your explanation.

you're welcome! i'm glad you liked the prizes, i like to give them :D

i love it! i just wanted to keep looking at it, all the lines and textures and various greys, and it fits the song perfectly ^-^

and before i forget again... here's the favourites list! i tried to put it under a spoiler but the forums don't like that for some reason so whatever!

SPOILER (click to toggle) [ol]
  • lilybelle - the geraldine fibbers "get off of that trail / don't touch it baby / get off of that trail / you'll burn your pretty fingers" this song is so raw and ferocious, and all the noise and confusion, it really speaks to me of everyone telling you what to do and who to be and it's all so much you'd do anything to get out, even something you really shouldn't. people are afraid you'll go down a bad path, and you might just to spite them, but more than anything because you don't know how to stop. you're just wrong, over and over and over again, and you don't know how to stop.
  • changeling - phemiec "does she know we're watching her / we're taking notes / we're asking the hard questions" did you know that the idea of changelings originated to explain why autistic kids weren't "normal"? bc Hot Damn. i, a forementioned autistic kid, love this song, both for how soft and pretty it is, but also because the changeling has the sympathetic view here. kids recognise how you think of them.
  • rule number one - sleigh bells "i'm gonna stand on my toes ripping stars down / there'll be no end to my rainmaking" this is kind of an odd little tune, but i like it a lot, and furthermore it's very kylo. the line i quoted always gets me because of the delivery, it doesn't sound angry, just kind of hurt and moreover very earnest. she's trying her best! her best just happens to be a path of death and destruction.
  • you don’t know me anymore - mars argo "you don't know me anymore / the world is standing at my door / and i can see it's meant to be / it's better off this way" it's a sad little tune about growing up and turning into someone else, and nobody noticing so you just have to... leave. it always makes me emotional.
  • the falcon - richard and mimi farina "she asks us easy questions / we tell her easy lies" OK THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG EVER. i really hope i have the spoons one day to make a lyricstuck to it... the whole song fits perfectly against kylo's life, being used up as a tool for war and not really having anything else she knows enough to turn to it and so just turning in circles endlessly.
  • the future - leonard cohen "when they said repent / i wonder what they meant" this song is all dark and rich like mud on your boots. the narrator is so, so cynical, reflecting what the world has become and will become and is always becoming, more and more of a shitshow with every passing day, and they're just riding the wave with everyone else.
  • letter from belgium - the mountain goats "in the cold clear light of day down here everyone's a monster / that's cool with all of us, we've been past the point of help since early april" it's about being out of your mind and living in a house with a bunch of other people who are out of their minds but you all like each other and limp along together. highly Relateable and also i love the way the mountain goats use words. and i love the way he says "more creams.... and powders." it's just one of my all time favourite songs.
  • getting naked, playing with guns - ajj "and we'll show the neighbour kid what our love actually means" god this song makes me wanna cry every time i hear it. ive said this about like two other songs in this list but this is my favourite song in the history of songs. it's so hard to explain why it hits me so hard. partially because it's about embracing how messed up you are, partially because it's about being a feral animal and clawing out and i relate to that so much, and partially just because the delivery is just so emotional. so tender. listening to this song is like being stabbed in the chest and i love it.
  • thank you for the venom - my chemical romance "you wanna follow something? give me a better cause to lead" this is the leitmotif on my kylo pet's profile, it's just basically the most kylo song ever, every last lyric of it. also it's a banger.
  • crying swimmers - squalloscope "and i can never tell you how grateful i am that nothing is real / give me food, give me drinks, explain to me how i feel" this is The phaslo song, which is absolutely my rarepair otp, except absolutely everyone makes them all badass warrior straight lovers and nobody makes them a couple of lesbians in terrible situations clinging onto each other for everything they're worth. this song super reflects the latter, squalloscope has such a way with words, it's about viewing yourself within the framework you're stuck in and making the best of that rather than trying to get out even as you have a full and fully cynical understanding of said framework. which is also one of my favourite tropes. god i love phasma.
  • bellyache - billie eilish "i'm biting my nails / i'm too young to go to jail / it's kind of funny" need i say it........... Kylo
  • delicate, petite & other things i’ll never be - against me! "i wanna know how you stay you" this is not my top favourite against me song actually, but it is the most kylo one. that desperate wanting, that lack of understanding of how people get along and don't lose themselves, that hard-edged refusal of help.
  • broken crown - mumford & sons "touch my mouth and hold my tongue / i'll never be your chosen one" this is another one of the Big Faves, honestly im kind of like, Duck Newton? but also very kylo, and very good in just. refusing to be what people want from you because you can't. you just can't. also fuck all of you and your limited ideas of things. i'm better than this.
  • i’m irritated - no small children "i spend my days making little waves / cause in a ripple effect / it's just cause and effect" this is the best banger i know. the lyrics are good but it's up here because it's just an absolute banger. also susie deltarune.
  • boy division - my chemical romance "i'm not laughing, you're not joking / i'm not dead i only dress that way" this is also top favourite song ever, both for how good that NOISE is, that electric energy, and the cynicism of the lyrics compared with the delivery, delivery's always what gets me, it just really resonates with me, taking a big ol sip of song emotion juice. the lyrics are good too but like, damn, that energy.
  • familia - nicki minaj & anuel aa feat. bantu "it's always trouble when they go too far / nobody mess with my familia" fun fact about me: i love mafia themed stuff. i love it so much i started gming an entire rp based around the concept of "how many mafias can i shove in this." (also it's a film noir with trolls.) this song got those Big mafia vibes, also like. that noise. that NOISE.
  • save yourself, i’ll hold them back - my chemical romance "i'm the only friend who makes you cry / you're a heart attack in black hair dye" big kylux energy
  • que sera sera - doris day "whatever will be, will be / the future's not ours to see" this song makes me wanna cry about kylo, her entire life path was taken away from her and it took her so long to realise and she's still realising she has the power to take it back despite the forces against her. god. she's an abused fucked up kid and kids songs always Really fuck me up. whatever will be, will be, and you're gonna be a weapon of war! sorry kid.
  • off to the races - lana del rey "i'm your little harlot starlet / queen of coney island / raising hell all over town" this isn't that kylo of a song actually i just really like it and it's close enough that i can fudge it to be on this playlist. the noise and atmosphere is just intoxicating. also it's got real good gangster moll energy, which as i said before, is my entire jam
  • small red boy - ajj "my soul became a hammer / i started to feel better" this just Me
  • fear sweats - gay aunt jane this doesn't have any distinguishable lyrics just. that noise Tastey
  • mama - my chemical romance "you should have raised a baby girl / i should have been a better son" still can't get over the fact that mcr wrote an incredibly iconic song about a trans woman disappointing her family
  • losing my religion - rem "i thought that i heard you laughing / i thought that i heard you sing / i think i thought i saw you try"[i] i saw some real cool interpretations of this song in the contest, like i said before to me it's about being let down by someone, and in fact by everything you know. you lose your religion because you just can't believe anymore. it's such a good falling to the dark side song, also that lyric i quoted is such a burn i love it
  • burn - the pretty reckless [i]"and maybe i will finally learn" in addition to the obvious kylo references, this song is painfully relateable in just. knowing you're never going to have your lesson drilled into you, and knowing the world is going to keep trying as long as you're still standing.
  • how long? - hadestown "and how does the sun even fit in the sky? / it just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky / and the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky / how long, how long, how long?" this is another one that's iffy for whether it belongs on this playlist, but i love it a lot so it stays. their voices are so beautiful, i especially love the man's voice, and the song just like the whole musical poses the painful question of why do we keep going? and how long do we have to? it's a fabulous musical about how capitalism is terrible and everything is pointless but still we love and that means something, i totally recommend giving it a listen if you have a couple hours. also i completely forgot to add when the chips are down to this playlist before the contest ended, like a dumbass. oh well.
  • under the water - the pretty reckless "excuse me sir, am i your daughter? / won't you take me back and see?" yet more songs that make me cry about kylo. it's about the defeat of being a bad situation and just kind of grasping feebly at ways out but not really having the strength to pull yourself out, or being able to see the way, and feeling abandoned and ignored by everyone around you, desperately hoping someone's going to notice you drowning but also not knowing how to reach out. reminds me of high school! ah, terrible times.
  • dixon’s girl - dessa "back to the wall / back to the ball / back at that drawing board" another Favourite Song Ever. huge phylux energy, great delivery, women being friends, narrative about escaping abuse, best song ever.
  • hallelujah - jodi, alana and morgan "and even though it all went wrong i'll stand before the lord of song / with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah" so i know saying hallelujah is your favourite song is kind of like saying harry potter is your favourite harry potter character, but he is, and it is. thanks to teacup132 i'm now on a hunt for more verses! this one is my favourite though, and this cover is the only one i've found that has it. it's heartbreaking and naked. after everything, it's still you.
  • [/ol]

    so, the people who did favourite songs are!:

    (changeling) (changeling) (familia) (getting naked playing with guns) (hallelujah, under the water) (losing my religion) (off to the races) (que sera sera) (the future)
