In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down. folklore is out now.
One of my favorite parts of directing music videos is the daydream/prep phase: writing up a treatment, a shot list, and working with an animator to storyboard it out ahead of time. Thanks to illustrator Vincent Lucido, we can check off our shots as we go. Here’s a video showing the before and after of the willow video 🧙🏻♀️🔮🎶
|this is not meant to come at anyone. This is just my own opinion so hold your horses with those hate comments 😂|
1. "Their tongues battled for dominance."
2. Scary synonyms for penis. (Member, stick, front tail, bar, pipe, man stick, pencil, pen, sacred rod)
3. The y/n personality always being the emo or E-girl\boy\other stereotype. They tend to make the y/n personality all cold. There isn't enough diversity anymore.
4. Smashing RIGHT after they confess. Or the day. I mean hey do what makes you comfortable, but for every smut its always like this 😳
5. "She moaned 'no' but he kept going, loving her reactions." RAPE. Okay maybe that's too much. But she said no. So unless she's into the consentual- non consentual sex and you've made that known, this is wrong.
6. This one is specifically about Eren Yeager from Attack On Titan. All the fanfics I see about him make him look all abusive and cold. Now you can make whatever you want, but damnnnn "he cuts her legs, watching the blood spill out." Seems a little harsh. That wasn't from an actual fanfic (I hope 😨)
7. Whenever y/n's touching themselves, the character gets all mad and is like "why are you touching yourself" and "how dare you pleasure yourself with YOUR hands?!" And then all of a sudden its punishment time 😫
8. Characters written completely out of character. Again, I see this a lot with Eren Yeager. Now omg again do as you please, but ugh this gets on my nerves like hell. I don't even recognize the character anymore when they do this. Plus, I have a friend who likes characters based on fanfictions they read. WHAT. that's not even the real character! And and and people mess up the personality so much it ruins it. (Quick advertisements cuz ya know. I obsess over the characters personality inside and out to fully understand them.)
9. Inability to get pregnant. YES I'M SERIOUS. Many smuts NEVER say anything about protection! They just magically don't have a baby. BRUH. there's nothing wrong with saying "he grabbed a condom" or "slid on a rubber" or "I'll on the pill". Hey you can even make it sexy. "He held the condom between his teeth, saliva dripping down his mouth." Too much?
10. WARNING VERY EXPLICIT For this one, I don't know how to explain it so I'm going to make a short story. "My name's y/n Ackerman. I'm Levi's secret sister. But here's the catch, I'm in love with him. We sneak out everyday to fuck and he cums all inside me and it squirts out. I want told have a baby with my brother and if anyone judges I'll cut their hands off. I opened the door to my room and saw Levi jacking off. He came in his hands and licked off the white creamy whip cream sour cake liquids. I gasped so loud I accidentally burped from last night's blowjob creampie. He pulled be against the wall and banged me into it until my insides fell out. I love my brother Levi so much. I hope we have kids every year. The end. Hey guys thanks for reading omg this is terrible uwu I'm nit liek this in real life owo I'm actually like super quirky and I'm bi but I hate girls and omg I'm not 9 years old." GUYS I'm so sorry but this is the only way for me to explain it. I've actually come across fanfics like this and I'm truly scared.
10. Smoking being a personality now 😳
11. Never smiling, only smirking 😏
12. "My face flushed as I blushed and tinted crimson and became the colour of a tomato because blood rushed to my face." STOP THIS.
REMEMBER! this is only myyyyyy fears and things that creep ME out. So again, hold back from those hate comments 😂
