Second: your almost-but-not-really anti-nom on my title that Psyche already said he liked.
Third, fuck it and 4th: both recent RC noms
4-0. Get dunked.
Hahaha fine, I'll give you those I guess. I'm sure there are more to come!
Does this mean that despite being very agreeable, I go against the grain a lot? That's contradictory AF and I love it
He's very cheerful in my experience, and is always looking on the bright side of things. Add to that the musical reference since he seems to prefer titles with puns or references, I figure it's a slam dunk for him.

Seconded.

There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
what does the reference to the killers song do?
wikipedia says that lyrically the song depicts the jealousy and paranoia of a man who suspects his significant other is cheating on him
despite the name "Mr. Brightside" it seems like the exact opposite of the kind of point you're trying to make

I think the idea is that the musical reference is meaningless, and it's meaningfulness is derived from its meaninglessness because ari approves of random references in titles.

Killers songs are not something you really have one fixed interpretation of. Nonsense lyrics are something they do (and are kind-of notorious for), and sure that's *a* possible interpretation of the song (and apparently is the official one), but it's far from the only one. There's enough ambiguity where you can write whatever meaning you want into them. And I feel like that ability to write a spin on things is part of Aristophanes's charm; he can support something that would otherwise superficially be negative, and make it clear he is supporting it because he sees it as a positive thing.
That makes the song reference a perfect fit for his character--the song might officially have a negative connotation with it, but Aristophanes is the type of guy who can put a positive spin on it such that it is a
good
thing, matching the upbeat nature of the song's tune rather than the literal nature of the song's given meaning.
Half meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking
