my hot take is still that “CUTIEMARKS” is Vylet’s most narratively Nonexistent album ever, there’s just, No narratives, and that’s not the worst part– the tag “Sing a song about life” that’s existent in basically every song on the album… seems to suggest a narrative, but this just doesn’t hold up because you instead have “songs that really are about life” and “pop meaningless junk” and “why are we talking about Spike being nonbinary now??” and “lesbian with chainsaws, sure why not” all in the same album

and the thematic song THE MARK THAT BINDS US is… for one it’s the song that really should set a narrative, but it’s so weak that it just seems like a sarcastic joke like “oh you THOUGHT this album was gonna have any narratives at all? no, you fool, you absolute buffoon, there’s actually None”

and it’s also the song that literally nobody ever talks about when they talk about CUTIEMARKS (99% of the time they only know about antonymph, though at least that does fall under the category “it’s actually a song about life!”)

idk im just tired because i have opinions that most vylet fans can’t even remotely understand lol, curse of listening for long enough to have expectations i guess

@twinkle buh ig i need to listen to vylet more this lore and drama sounds insane
