I love when singers think maybe their song requires a little prerequisite information so they just cover it real fast so everyone’s on the same page. I love that TLC opens No Scrubs quickly reviewing exactly what a scrub is and when ABBA was like “just in case you didn’t know, famed 19th century militant ruler Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated in the battle of Waterloo. We though perhaps not everyone would know that. Alright, so moving on to my love life, which is similar to that actually,”
exactly thank u yes I saw that too. this is about in-song debriefing specifically. when the lyrics themselves are a quick explanation of the info you need to set u up for the rest of the song

[waking up in a cold sweat] In the Temeraire universe, ABBA never won Eurovision

Had a dream that I was reading a book called The Tiger, about a living city that slowly digested its inhabitants. The title annoyed me because the city was clearly not an ambush predator, but a passive hunter like a jellyfish or sundew. No one knew they were being digested—life in the city just wore them down little by little, and fate always seemed to conspire to keep them there. The book was ambiguous about whether the forces of economic instability and social injustice were supernatural qualities “the tiger” generated to subdue prey or natural occurrences that had attracted “the tiger” to settle in that city as its hunting ground.
wait fuck this was an ABBA dream wasn’t it
The concept of a hard-hitting surreal political horror novel based on an ABBA song is great. Thank you brain keep up the good work.

Im tired of questions about season 2, we need answers to more important questions- such as, do either Crowley or Aziraphale like ABBA? (Very important question)
Aziraphale does, and has since Petrarch's day. Crowley doesn't read a lot of poetry and doesn't have any opinions about rhyme schemes.

His energy is unmatched

apparently it’s called a thongophone

say what you will about disco but i’ve never once been sad while listening to abba
#carolbelivet#Disco#Music#Music Genres#Good Thoughts#ABBA#Disco is actually great tbh#and I say that fully admitting I used to be one of those folks who reflexively trashed it#while only ever having heard this stuff that gets overplayed on top 40 stations#I guess it's one of those things that USian society decides to trash#probably because it:#1)encouraged interracial socialization#and 2)led to lots of really embarrassing white appropriations of it#and everyone grows up KNOWING it's terrible and lame#then when you grow up you actually take the time to check it out#and it's completely great and awesome and really uplifting even#minitagrants#appreciative reblogs
