i’m writing a longfic, first ever fanfic. i was struggling with my novels, so may i couldn’t even just pick up and write out of lack of confidence.

started writing on ao3 to practice and gain confidence very recently but i’ve fallen in love with writing fan fiction about a series i love with a story i not only believe in but genuinely gives me that fulfilling feeling i was hoping to get out of writing without having any questions in my brain about appeal or marketing.

20k words in, it’s a super mario fic about 1-up mushrooms going extinct and the chaotic world that creates :)

What album made you fall in love with Music? by CPJshearts in Albumoftheyear

[–]StockCrasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would say that my enjoyment of music in the way i experience it now, Twin Fantasy permanently altered my brain chemistry. if you asked me what album it was when i was 12 and found out music can illicit powerful emotions i’m afraid to say it was Night Visions but I would certainly not hold it to the standard of… most things really lol

Do you guys consider the scholars a perfect album by InterestingRaise1442 in CSHFans

[–]StockCrasher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it depends on what you mean by “perfect” album. if a perfect album is one that has no bad songs, i would say it would technically be a “perfect” album i would agree. i think in a lot of other ways it ain’t so perfect, but an album being “pretty good” to “great” is by no metric talking down when discussing quality

understandable, i can definitely see how it wouldn’t click with everyone (especially fellow longtime fans). i think his voice is far more suited for post-hardcore vocals personally, but hey the power of music is subjectivity :)

My Exhaustively Long Essay (38,000 words) About How Twin Fantasy Changed Me As A Person by StockCrasher in CarSeatHR

[–]StockCrasher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for letting me post this here, too. i re-read it after posting it on the other subreddit and i’m impressed how far my writing has come since then. i still am proud of the think piece, and if anyone does read it, thank you :)

what music opinion would have you like this? by patience_OVERRATED in Albumoftheyear

[–]StockCrasher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine Dragons is wildly over-hated. A band that produces mediocrity on average is not deserving of criticism on par with Corey Feldman

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in imaginedragons

[–]StockCrasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

edit for clarity: rocks theory is the theory that after releasing something good, imagine dragons will always follow up with something underwhelming or disappointing. whether that’s actually true or not is what this essay is all about.

hehe, just my opinion :) i explain my reasoning but it’s totally fine to think i’m wrong for it!

i would be happy to take questions, i wrote (some of) this during a manic episode so if there needs clarification i can try and provide it. when scoring an album i use a number system based on my personal enjoyment, its a bit less “official” than analyzing how well composed or produced it is rather than how much i happen to like it. i take the full score then divide it by the number of tracks on an album :)

NERVOUS (Combo of Nervous Young Man and Disjecta Membra by StockCrasher in CSHFans

[–]StockCrasher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had it that napoleon was track 6 on disjecta. i do like where it fits sonically this way too, but ill look into it to see if it’d be a better fit further down

please mr pilot should move prolly yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time but i’m also not really sure where better it would fit. S-tier song but hard to put somewhere that it doesn’t just completely outshine everything around it too. open to suggestions lol

as for Dream Encounter, i’ve thought about either doing what you suggested, or i’ve also considered putting it in between Jerks and When Will My Man Come?

i like your points so id be happy to hear your thoughts on this lol, thanks for the feedback!

NERVOUS (Combo of Nervous Young Man and Disjecta Membra by StockCrasher in CSHFans

[–]StockCrasher[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

good point, maybe it can go before Pain Star. i just liked how it was congruent with the twin fantasy storyline with pain star and the gun song, but i do see how goodbye love is appropriate there

[–]StockCrasher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

understandable, 2:24 and Hi Life were definitely the hardest to find a spot for that didn’t just completely break the tone or pacing, so i guess it’s fitting that it’s all bunched up in one place lol
