Cloe!!

THE CUTEST LITTLE GUY!

My precious child Gloria, a novitiate of the ashen shrine.

One of my Galar rewrite OCs, Wistful is snarky and petty. She cares deeply for discarded or difficult pokemon and very little for people. Her short temper often gets her into trouble she is prone to flee from instead of righting. Her Phantump Bren is a childhood friend who died at a young age playing in the glimwood. She's never really gotten over it.

Pet is one of my main OCs and a comfort character of mine. She is a blorbo I project basically every trauma possible onto. A child who wasn't wanted and without a name, she lives the only way she knows how, and fights tooth and nail to carve out a place for herself.

Lemon Mouth - Tigers Jaw

Genres: indie rock, emo, emo pop

Released as the second single for Tigers Jaw's 6th studio album I Won't Care How You Remember Me (2021), Lemon Mouth is a charming and honest self-reflection by vocalist Brianna Collins. The lyrics are a painfully relatable stream of consciousness, highlighting odd habits and nitpicks we all experience towards ourselves — be it forgetfulness, overthought, clumsiness, or a tendency to chase stray threads. All of this winds, at it's core, to self-acceptance and putting aside self-doubt.

Collins' vocal performance is smooth, warm and sunny, yet holds a melancholic quality, giving wonderful character to the track. The instrumentals match her energy perfectly, coasting alongside on a very persistant drum beat and guitars that hold a distinct flavour of early 2010's emo.

Overall, Lemon Mouth has been one of my favorite songs of the year, and I hope you can give it a listen when you get the time.
