I made a playlist! Twelve tracks, alternating between the two sons of Odin, following their respective journeys (solo and shared) through the course of the MCU. I have lots of feelings about these two, so I’ll just shut up and give you the tracklisting, but feel free to hit up my ask if you want to angst with me about the Odinsons. SPOILER FREE.
I’ve been saying FOR YEARS that if I ever went back to get a PhD, I would do some sort of socio-linguistic ethnography of fan fiction and fandom. But I’m now trying to ~follow my passions instead of saying *one day* so I’m starting to do some preliminary research!!!
But that means I need your help. If you’re a fan of fan fiction, please consider spreading and sharing this survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7F66FXY
It’s a 10 question anonymous survey ((unless you choose to share contact info)) about fan fiction reading habits and what you love about fan fiction!!! Not entirely sure how responses will be used yet, but I’m hoping the info I get back will help me shape my thesis that’s brewing.
Please feel free to share even if you don’t have time to complete the survey! And feel free to ask any questions you may have!!
spotify discover weekly playlist: You like shitty indie bands where the male lead vocalist can’t sing and so he overcompensates by singing in a kind of silly overenunciated voice and the background is some clumsy fingerpicking and he says Fuck a lot, right ?

Skating Polly- Stop Digging Skating Polly- Perfume For Now Hands Off Gretel- Always Right L7- Mr Integrity Jack Off Jill- Working With Meat Sorry it's so many, I could go on all day tbh. I just got excluded following our discussion on angry female music :)
Thank you thank you thank you! I’m so hype to listen to all of these, I have such a thing for fempunk <3
Stop Digging
couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library
I mean, I fucking love Skating Polly. It’s a recent love, admittedly, but it burns bright nonetheless. This reminds me so much of what I love about gigs, Skating Polly really manage to evoke the feeling of being lost in a hardcore, heavy crowd. It’s near-on transcendental- @shark-myths will recall the many times I’ve spent rambling about my experiences at gigs. I love the roughness of this, the way that they don’t let ‘hardcore’ replace ‘actual music’ in the way that often undermines the recorded format of the genre. This is everything I have ever wanted from riot grrrl.
Perfume For Now

Another Skating Polly track, thank you so much for indulging me with this. Everything I said about Stop Digging applies here as well, but that slow-burning intro is a gift, and the way it just crashes so suddenly into hardcore? Phenomenal. Just, this is amazing. I could not be more grateful to you for introducing me to them.
(Please, do me a favour and go listen to Track Not Found’s Code Red. And Saint Tears. And Ecstasy. Actually, you may as well go and listen to their whole set from a September gig last year that I unfortunately missed because of this whole university thing I’ve got going on. Skating Polly give me a really similar vibe, and I’m never above promoting my friends’ band when I get the opportunity.)
Always Right

I’m going to be honest and say that my opinion of Hands Off Gretelis much the same as my opinion of Skating Polly. That is to say, I fucking love them. So much. And I only learned of their existence when you told me about them last week. They are quickly climbing the ranks of my music taste.
Anyway, Always Right is such a great example of girl punk. It makes me want to mosh, want to headbang in a crowd full of my riot grrrl, raised-on-punk friends until we can hardly even stand, can’t catch our balance. It’s beautiful in a particular way that only girl punk ever seems to manage. What I’m realising right now is that I really want you to meet my gig friends. Please come to Guernsey, please let me drag you around my favourite places and my favourite people. I feel like you’d thrive on our punk scene.
Mr Integrity

This has such a good classic rock vibe to it? Like seriously, though this is in a different vein to the previous tracks, it still hits a particular spot within my musical psyche that I really appreciate. I’m getting Joan Jett vibes, and also something like Prisoner of Society by The Living End. I’m sending this to my brother tomorrow, because he needs to hear it if he hasn’t already.
“Don’t preach to me” is something I have the urge to scream on a daily basis, this is so perfectly relatable. I get such a strong riot grrrl feminism aura from this, it makes me want to scream in the best possible way.
Working With Meat
couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library
Can I just say, ‘Jack Off Jill’ is one of the best band names I’ve ever heard. In a very similar way, Working With Meat is one of the best song names I’ve ever heard. It’s vile and glorious, thank you so much for sending it to me!
The vocals are so damn unique, it’s intense in a way that makes it impossible to ignore. Like a really hardcore Mars Argo. By now you can probably guess what I’m going to say, something rambling and excessively vivacious about my love of girl punk. But just because I don’t know to express it without repeating my previous comments doesn’t mean I don’t feel it just as strongly. I’m so, so grateful for these recommendations, man.
Looking back, I judged all of these with ‘download immediately.’ I’m getting the feeling we need to exchange playlists at some point, because I would love to hear some of your other favourites.
