Thank you, @latveriansnailmail, for the tag! These are 13 songs that have been (mostly) on repeat for me recently. To be fair, I mostly listen to my playlists on shuffle, but there are a decent number of songs that I get an itch for and keep returning to. Prepare for some very eclectic tastes. In no particular order, they are as follows:

Ionia by Lycia - The haunting drone in this one is just perpetually stuck in my head recently. I can't explain the obsession with this one otherwise, because I've known it for quite a while, but I've just been mega interested in it lately.

Exit Music (For A Film) by Radiohead - An orchestral version of this song plays in one of my favorite movies of recent years, Fresh.

i think about you all the time by Deftones - One of the new-ish songs from Deftones that I've enjoyed a lot.

Love You to Death by Type O Negative - Some weird personal lore on this song: I associate it heavily with a particular favorite time in my life, and these days, I associate it with this dreamy, nostalgic sort of idea of what my life might look like now if I did things different based on the knowledge I have now. Wistful. Bittersweet. Playing at least once a day, probably.

La ragione, il cuore, l'amore (Ver. 5) by Ennio Morricone - Just a really pretty song from the soundtrack of The Love Witch.

Hopeless and Beaten by Korn - One of the new-ish songs from Korn that I've enjoyed a lot. It feels a little bit like some of their older stuff to me, which I think is why I like it so much.

Who Is She? by I Monster - This is one of my go-to songs when I'm low confidence and need a little bit of a boost. I yearn to be haunting and mysterious, I suppose. :B

I Want to Live (Classical Ver.) by Borislav Slavov - I played Baldur's Gate 3 for the first time last year and have been obsessed ever since. This has been a nice little focus song for me.

Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation - hoah hoah hoah hoah

Κοκτέιλ (Kokteil) by Nalyssa Green - I am currently in the process of learning Greek, and one of the things I frequently like to do when learning languages is find good music in those languages. This is one of my Greek favorites that I've found. If I understand it correctly, it's about comparing a lover to a cocktail (but anyone is absolutely free to correct me on that).

The Promise by When In Rome - im sorry but im just thinkin of the right words to say (i promise you) i know they dont sound the way i plan them to be (i promise you)

You in the Glass by Devics - Devics is a criminally underrated band that I think everyone interested in bands like Mazzy Star and Lush should listen to. Pretty much every song of theirs is good stuff.

Boadicea by Enya - I'm still a Lord of the Rings-loving hippie at the end of the day. This is my preferred song for witching around.

I'm going to tag @chartreuseowl-blog, @thestarsareundecided, and @ghostly-noodle! Let me see what you guys have been listening to/have had stuck in your head lately! c:

I am looking for more mutuals on here, too, now that I'm more active again, so feel free to follow me if you come across this post and think our tastes/interests line up. <3

Willow was co-dependent to Tara.

And Willow was just lucky Tara was having none of it and wouldn’t take advantage of her the way she did with her. Tara got out of dodge because there’d be no chance Willow would let go of her. She was hooked much the same way as she was with magic. That’s why I say her addiction wasn’t just to magic. It was also to Tara. And as healthy as that relationship was from the outside-looking in. From the inside-looking out,… it was hella destructive because she was obsessed. She wanted to own Tara. Not love her.

Tara was an unintended trigger and enabler for Willow and as soon as she recognized this.. she severed ties. She left more so for everybody else’s sake than her own. It’s difficult to see it this way because again… we’re watching the arc play out from the outside-looking in. From people who just don’t understand. To truly get this arc you have to look at it through from the inside-looking out. You have to see it through the eyes of someone who knows of emotional addiction.
