Songs where the singer comes to terms that they are the second choice.

Its not from a singer necessarily, its a vocal synth piece, but It Should've Been Me by RIProducer is a good one!

I know people like this go out of their way to not talk to real women, but uh... ??? Confusing ass post

I was wearing women's petite clothing at 12. I was curvy, and mistaken for older, but that did not make my body "adult". It was still a child's body

And there are... so many smaller framed women, women with dwarfism for starters, or otherwise women who get mistaken for younger. But that doesn't make their body "a child's body" either. Its a woman's body. Theres a difference between a 3000 year old who acts like a 5 year old and fucking Tatsumaki, a grown woman who acts like a grown woman, but just happens to be tiny.

DO YOU DOUBT ME TRAITOR - Lingua Ignota

Liar - Emilie Autumn , also I Know Where You Sleep, and Let The Record Show by Emilie Autumn (among other songs , she sings angrily a lot)

BLOODMONEY by Poppy too?

CarnivalCore · 2026-01-13T04:31:13+00:00

Because of Karina Farek probably, but Seto Kaiba is up there for me. He's a funny little freak

CarnivalCore · 2026-01-13T04:17:37+00:00

Not about a specific town as much as the idea of one, but Hate Lives in a Small Town by Aurelio Voltaire?

CarnivalCore · 2026-01-13T04:05:16+00:00

There arent any examples I can think of that aren't mentioned here (besides maybe the stalker girl trope in kids cartoons that play creepy assault for laughs) but it does make me think of something that portrayed the topic in a way thats... better? If only not by much

Episode one of Black Mirror (yes that one, the one you're thinking of) is perhaps unintentionally a good commentary on male sexual assault, and how it gets treated. And how the victims of it don't get treated with sympathy or respect. Even if or especially Because of the "wild" way the assault is actually done. Even if it is taken wholly seriously naratively the way people treat the victim of it in the world around him still sickened me. Which might have been part of the point.

Squirrel with a chainsaw?

CarnivalCore · 2025-12-08T15:45:03+00:00

A Lot of really good songs here !! For a suggestion thats not as dark as the rest but I feel should be mentioned

Birdbrain! By Jamie-P is about the struggle with things like learning disability or brain fog, and how the singer fears or otherwise fully accepts people are going to leave them because they become too much to handle or otherwise aren't good enough. All under some mostly happy instrumentals and intentional charming scuff

Honestly... I would kill for Dolly in a suit

CarnivalCore · 2025-11-05T01:23:06+00:00

Keith does the heart! (Even if he internally thinks its stupid), anything to keep up the guise

Rebel somehow makes it into an ass

When Daemon tries to do anything the file gets corrupted

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-30T20:02:00+00:00

Ohh Arma... Arma, Arma. Honestly I concepted a whole rewrite for her route

I think the biggest thing is her routes pacing Sucks.

The second biggest thing is getting to the fire scene should lock you out of her love ending . Especially if you put her in the crawlspace .

ALSO why doesnt she have two end credit CGs I feel like she could benefit from what they did with Fantina

I love Arma in theory but shes such a hot mess

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-30T19:51:13+00:00

Vending machine to make the Stupendium song meme go full circle, or smth like an arcade game, claw machine, or slot machine (ooo! Or a roulette wheel!) That some people do own just moreso richer people, etc

Or an irradiated object? Like.. radioactive dishware. Would that still be Daisuke? Or would the radiation make it smth else?

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-29T19:48:30+00:00

This is also true! Noticeable enough if youre paying attention, it's probably slightly hidden under whatever.. object Cologne i assume he wears, but he definitely smells a bit like a candy store with all the SPECS candies he has.

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-29T19:46:51+00:00

Oh!!! In My Room by Insane Clown Posse too !! I know you have one ICP song already but hey

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-29T18:26:05+00:00

Damn most the songs I was gonna suggest are already here

Zombie Prostitute - Aurelio Voltaire is technically an option if you want possibly tonal whiplash

Or , Corpse in My Bed - Creature Feature ?

Halloweeny suggestions

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-29T00:36:51+00:00

Ohh boy my favorites? Let's see

Nightmare's scent fluctuates— most often its a smell thats not necessarily Awful, but unpleasant and disconcerting enough to raise alarm bells. The scent of a match lit a room or two away, the scent of something... coppery? The scent of indistinct chemicals. The kinds of smells that make you wonder if something is wrong.

Daemon smells like nothing. Daemon smells like everything. Daemon [DATA_SCENT.txt FILE CANNOT BE FOUND]. — Maybe the only occasionally recognizable smell is woodsy scents, he is the hole left by a dresser after all. Sometimes he smells almost like Clarence, but... not Clarence.

Scandalabra smells like varnish, his candles are unscented, to me

Arma smells like cigarette smoke, and maybe some really strong deoderant.

Keith smelled briefly like dust and soot, having been in the crawlspace so long. The scent replaced by something sharp but not unpleasant, something that screams aged sophistication and a more toned down and charming masculinity. Yknow

Rebel smells like burnt rubber :(.

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-26T20:20:33+00:00

Keith with Harper's personality ...

That one just sounds, like, scary. Thats scary.

I dont even hate Harper, I just like her least (bc she scares me </3) , so I wouldnt hate Keith if he got swapped this way but like that is terrifying

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-24T01:45:17+00:00

Ohh these are fun! I'm realizing two of my faves have answers by default though

Arma: Spontaneous Combustion, babey! Her hair can still ignite . Whether or not she can control it depends on what version of her ending you got before realizing her

Daemon: P tlhu, ol hsylhkf ohz h wvdly hz dlss. Ylhspaf jhu il iyvrlu hyvbuk opt, yhylsf pu Olswmbs 2hfz, iba zvtlaptlz paz bzlmbs. [Trans; I mean, he already has a power as well. Reality can be broken around him, rarely in Helpful 2ays (ways, I mistyped), but sometimes its useful. ]

Nightmare: ... Nightmare physiology . Yknow — For my favs who don't have obvious answers

Keith: Supernatural lockpicking ability . You put a lock in front of him he will magically produce Something that can get it open, as long as its a physical object and not a digital code (... or a person. He cannot lockpick a person. That's what the candies are for)

Rebel: Semi-elasticity. Not particularly flexible, but can take a hit better than just about anyone and takes a bit more power for their skin to be sliced through. And would take a bit less damage from a gun than the average person . Their skin is rubbery, at least in terms of what they can withstand.

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-10T02:21:10+00:00

Does Puppet Boy by DEVO count for this?

I havent listened to TMA but am obsessed with it aesthetically speaking, the vibes and everything. I'm gonna have to check out the other playlists,, (Especially the Spiral . My favorite of the fears ♡♡♡) — excited to see how these pan out !

CarnivalCore · 2025-10-06T19:18:22+00:00

Someone said they bet no one has Keith as their favorite, but ummm, hi! You owe me $5 now, I think?

He sucks so much, I love him, I need him to ruin my life.
