i'm not much for easter eggs but i do genuinely adore how all of the Taylor Versions so far have come out on dates that have a deeper meaning, like Fearless TV's date adding up to 13 especially as the first release that was very cute, and Red TV being released in 2021 the backwards of 12 (aka when it was originally released in 2012), Speak Now TV being released on July 7th so it could have a release show since a heavy part of that era was her live band as well as of course the closest date to July 9th, and 1989 TV sharing its date with the original since it was such a huge shift and change and birth in her life that transition to pop like I just think it's all so neat

I keep seeing posts talking about the WGA/Sag-Aftra strike, which yes, good, but in all this "support writers" sentiment I'm seeing no one talk about book writers, which I think is something people should know more about right now.
We are at an all-time high for book bans, namely targeting queer & PoC-authored books. This means that a lot of schools and libraries are no longer stocking diverse YA books, and if you're not in publishing, you may not realize this but school & libraries are by far one of the biggest markets for diverse YA books.
This means that in 2023, YA book sales are down. This is also in part because Barnes & Noble (the largest physical book retailer in the U.S.) is no longer really stocking YA hardcovers. This means that marginalized authors and debut authors are struggling to sell books.
But it's a LOT worse than that. In the past couple of years, marginalized authors are *really* struggling to get new book deals. Most books are acquired by a publisher about 2 years before they release to the public, so this isn't all that noticeable yet, but a LOT of marginalized authors I've spoken to (myself included) have been unable to sell a new YA book since 2020. So while I had a book out last year, even if I sell one right now, you won't see it until 2025-2026. That's three to four years without a new release or the income I get from publishing those books.
On top of that, Big 5 publishers have started closing imprints (namely their diverse imprints) and have started telling their marginalized YA authors to just go. I've had multiple authors tell me their publisher basically said, "eh, we don't care to put in the work for you anymore. You can just go somewhere else". Of the authors who *are* getting offered new contracts, we're being offered pay far below the cost of living and we're being handed contracts that split our payments 4 or 5 ways and require we sign over our work to be used to train AI so they can replace us a few years down the road.
Authors are freelancers who own our IPs, which means we can't unionize the way Hollywood writers can, and despite authors showing up in droves to support HarperCollins employees when they went on strike for fair wages, we're being hung out to dry when it comes to our own rights.
If you enjoy diverse books, especially diverse YA, please understand that many of the authors you loved over the past 3-5 years are being forced out of the industry. We're being exploited, and we have no way to defend ourselves. Our books sales are drying up thanks to anti-queer legislation, our rights are being eaten up by AI, and our publishers are degrading us while profiting of us and refusing to share those profits with us.
Within the publishing industry, we've all been watching this decline happen over the last decade, but outside of it, I know most people have no idea what's going on so please spread the word. And if you care about diverse books especially in YA, please support marginalized authors in any way you can. The industry needs to be reminded that it needs us before we're all eliminated from it.

what better place than the first page of chapter one for plans to go up in flames??
(CW blood, sword, death)
Nowhere in my plans for Friday night did I include hiding behind a steel crate in a shipping yard with a dead body at my feet.
Well, maybe not the first part—Jason and I were supposed to go paintballing. The last bit was just further proof the universe hated me.
I absentmindedly wiped my bloody sword against my pants, keeping an eye out for other guards while watching the two dragons battle above me. I groaned when I realized what I’d done. This is why we can’t have nice things.
It was my own fault for wearing white to a rescue mission. Again, I was supposed to be paintballing.
We knew it was probably a trap, but we couldn’t just ignore the possibility a child actually was being held hostage by enemy dragons. And besides, we figured the three of us—Jamie, Jason, and I—could handle a few guards.
We weren’t expecting King Balaskad herself to be here.
And of course, there was no child.

Disney Branded Television Greenlits ‘Sofia the First: Royal Magic,’ Sequel To ‘Sofia the First’ Slated For A 2026 Release Date.
Today, Disney Jr. announced a series greenlight for “Sofia the First: Royal Magic” a continuation of “Sofia the First” and remains one of the most successful global preschool franchises for The Walt Disney Company. The spin-off got picked up for development back in November 2022 under the working title ("Royal Prep Academy")
“Sofia the First: Royal Magic” follows Sofia as she attends The Charmswell School for Royal Magic, where princes and princesses from across the EverRealm will continue their royal studies and also learn all types of magic. During her time at Charmswell, Sofia discovers she is the most magical princess in the realm and must learn how to master her powers while making new royal friends. Each episode will contain two 11-minute stories, each with a new original song.  The sequel is created and executive produced by original series creator Craig Gerber. Ariel Winter (“Modern Family”), who voiced the role of Sofia, in the original series, is set to reprise her role. Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Many of the creative team from “Firebuds” are involved in this series, including Krystal Banzon as co-executive producer and story editor, Kris Wimberly as supervising director, and Craig Simpson as producer. The series is produced by Disney Television Animation. The new series is currently in production and is slated for a 2026 premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+
Gerber added, “I’m incredibly excited for the chance to return to Sofia’s enchanted world and tell the next chapter in her story. At a new school specializing in royal magic, Sofia will learn how to master her magical abilities while discovering the power of friendship and teamwork from her new royal classmates. Over the years, I have heard countless stories of how much the original series meant to young viewers and I’m hoping the new show will delight the next generation of preschoolers.”
Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television and VP of Current and Development at Disney Television Animation said, “Since its debut in 2012, ‘Sofia the First’ captured the hearts and imaginations of preschoolers everywhere for its beloved characters, memorable music, adventurous spirit and meaningful storylines. The enduring charm and appeal of Sofia is undeniable, and we’re excited to continue sharing her journey in ‘Sofia the First: Royal Magic.’”
The “Sofia the First” franchise still holds the record for the Top 3 cable TV telecasts for Girls 2-5 and, lifetime to date, has garnered over 755 million views on Disney Junior YouTube.
Sofia The First: Royal Magic is one of the many projects by Disney Television Animation to introduce the studio's iconic franchises and charactes to a new generation of fans, other projects include "The Proud Family: Louder And Prouder", Disney Junior's "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0", "Phineas And Ferb" as a revival and a reboot of "Darkwing Duck" by Point Grey Pictures (Nickelodeon Animation Studios "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles")
New interations of "TaleSpin" also by Point Grey Pictures (Nickelodeon Animation Studios "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") & "Recess" with the original creators are in very early development at the studio.

Manu on Facebook :
Dear fans, dear Football Germany,
After more than 15 years and 124 international appearances, today marks the end of my career with the German national team.
Anyone who knows me understands that I didn't make this decision lightly. I feel great physically, and of course, the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico was very tempting. However, after many detailed and lengthy discussions with my family and friends, I have decided that now is the right time to close the chapter with our national team.
When I look back today, I feel proud and grateful especially because we were able to fulfill our big dream on 13 July 2014, when we became world champions together in Brazil. For a total of 7 years and 61 games, until my injury, I had the honor of leading the German national team onto the pitch as captain. It was an honour that I always appreciated anew.
This year's European Championship in Germany was another highlight, even if, unfortunately, we fell short of winning the title. I felt a very special sense of euphoria and solidarity throughout the country at every moment. Let's keep that spirit alive.
Many thanks to all the staff, coaches, and players who have supported me since my debut with the national team on 2nd June 2009!
And I would especially like to thank you, dear fans, for supporting me over the years!
I loved wearing the jersey of our national team.
Thank you so much!
Yours
Manu

Once again @ray935sworld has inspired me with her talking abt David Alonso as a child caught in the middle of a rosquez divorce.
So... This little idea has kinda sat in my drafts for a while, and Ray has given me the creative juices to actually yap about this. (its long so I'll put a cut)
So, I'm thinking, Marc and Vale are being their typical flirty selves 2013-2014. I'm thinking after Mugello 2014, Marc is on a high winning that race, while Valentino is enjoying the thrill of Marc winning as well as his half-decent 3rd place. Both of them drink a little too much, and maybe Marc is feeling brave, and drags Valentino to an alley nearby, hoping for a sloppy makeout.
But as they get lost in each other, they suddenly hear a weak cry. Thinking it's some sort of cat, Marc's soft side gets the best of him, and he's immediately investigating the sound. At the far end of the alley he sees a box, and he slowly creeps up to it, only to be greeted with two little kids, huddled together, faces covered with dirt and horribly thin.
I think Kimi has a small piece of paper with him with his name and surname written as well as his birthdate, while with David there is absolutely nothing.
Him and Vale panic, then quickly sober up, gentle speaking with the kids (who are very quiet and scared), and then deciding it would be best to take them to the hospital. They get a hospital, and pray that the kids are fine.
I think Marc gets really attached to these kids from the second he seems them. Maybe its Kimi's curls, or David's blue eyes but he feels like they resemble Vale, or maybe that's just the alcohol and his love sick brain talking.
Anyway, they are soon cleared, being nothing more than dirty and malnourished. The doctors also inform them that the two boys are in fact not related, and Kimi is in their system, but both parents are dead, while the other kid (David) is not in the system and could not tell them a name.
After a few minutes of back and forth with Vale trying to be a voice of reason (shocking I know) Valentino and Marc offer to adopt them. Valentino is Valentino so I'd like to think with some connections and using his name, he's able to expedite the process of adoption and soon both Kimi and David are under their custody.
In my head, Marc is the one to get emotionally attached quickly, being the one to name David, David, and legally giving his mother's last name to David, Marquez Atlena.
It's kinda like a co-parenting situtation legally, but yeah Marc and Vale at this point 100% well past being friends, and clearly fucking (nothing more tho). However, this and the kids are hidden from the media. Often times either being watched by their parents or friends when there is a race weekend.
Kimi falls in love with go-karts while David seems to always watch Marc or Vale at the races. And Marc is their biggest supporter, Valentino as well, but I think he'd be a little bit more protective and worried for the two boys.
Then of course 2015 happens, and the kids are kinda caught in the middle. Both Marc and Vale try hard to shield them from their clearly deteriorating relationship, but once Sepang happens, Marc is so ready to never see Vale again. He wants to take the kids with him, but he's then attacked at his home, and quickly realizes its not safe with him.
Valentino, then realizes he isn't very well equipped to raise two 8 year old boys on his own. He first makes them stay with his mom, who raises eyebrows and isn't happy with Vale, but does it for the sake of David and Kimi. And then with David wanting to pursue a career in Motocycling, Valentino decides its best for David to be in Spain with Marc where there are more opportunities.
Vale becomes kinda distant, half raising Kimi, while barely maintaining a relationship with David after shipping him off to Spain.
This all then jumps to 2026, Kimi Antonelli is fighting for the Championship in F1, while David Alonso is nervous star of the future debuting in MotoGP.
They meet at a sponsorship event and people are quick to notice how close the two boys are. It slips from David's mind that it isn't public knowledge, and he casually mentions they are brothers. The media goes wild, 'cause both of them have never public been with their family (some nasty people calling them orphans because they've never been at a race with their mother or father) and are curious on why they use different last names.

I know we keep clowning over rep tv, but i really don’t think it will be this year. If anything, we MIGHT get an announcement in December with the actual album coming out 2025.
just look at the pattern:
2020 - 2 original albums (folklore, evermore)
2021 - 2 TVs (fearless TV, red TV)
2022 - original album (Midnights)
2023 - 2 TVs (speak now TV, 1989 TV)
2024 - original album (TTPD)
2025? - 2 TVs? ( rep TV, debut TV)
2026? - original album? (TS12)
This lets her keep up her insane release cycle for another 2 years. I’m assuming too that rep TV is already recorded, if not debut TV as well, and she’s just sitting on them to give herself time to work on new stuff while keeping up the fame momentum. She’s a marketing genius, so she knows she has to keep our attention after the eras tour in some way, plus TTPD is still topping charts so she doesn’t want to steal its thunder quite yet.

Kpop industry in the next upcoming years
Tumblr media
⚠️DISCLAIMER! TAROT CARDS ARE NOT 100% ACCURATE! TAKE EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT! IF MY INTERPRETATIONS ARE INCORRECT FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!⚠️
2025
5oW, PoC, AoC rx, Strength, 3oS, The Hierophant, The Sun, 4oP
Well… more arising conflicts next year. Pretty sure we all know who the main culprit of these fights are from. It seems like the industry will continue debuting more groups, but the groups will lack A LOT of creativity and it’s possible that the members of the newly debuting groups are only in the industry for the fame and attention.
Seems like more groups will be experiencing more heartbreak (NWJNS) again in 2025, I see this group will still continue to fight? They’ll be whistleblowing like crazy and the girls will continue to pull up a front that they’re all good but it seems they’ll have major depression and anxiety for the remaining year.
2026
QoW, AoW, The Chariot, QoC, The Tower, The Empress rx
This year is the return of Min Hee Jin. She is coming back with receipts I tell you! RECEIPTS! She will possibly be whistleblowing about the dark side of the industry, or just exposing some people in the industry.
It’s going to shock people, it’s going to cause a lot of chaos. She will honestly be doing this purely out of spite and getting her lick back.
She will be exposing the corruption and dirty secrets of a major high up if I’m being fully honest and possibly some insider information about certain groups not getting along…
2027
2oS, PoS rx, 7oW, 4oW rx, 2oW rx, 6oW
Well her return truly shook up the industry a tad bit too much. I’m seeing the industry being completely stagnant this year, the higher ups will want to punish MHJ but they know that she also has even more dirt to reveal so their hands will be tied up COMPLETELY.
With her seeing the state of Kpop this time, she’ll end up leaving and actually being proud of what she had done. No remorse whatsoever.
2028
KoW rx, KNoP, 5oS rx, 6oP, 9oP
A greedy higher up will be forced to step down and no longer work in the industry, he’ll not want to leave but he will have no choice but to.
Whatever MHJ exposed; will help the people in the industry. It seems like workers will actually be treated better and paid well, more groups will get brand partnerships and equal financial support to create their work.

Second Annual ‘Marvelous Game Showcase’ Delivers Exciting Updates on Fan-favorite STORY OF SEASONS and Rune Factory Series; Reveals NARUTO: Arcade Battle for
North America, and More
New Looks for Additional Titles in Development Include Opening Animation for
Monster Farming / Action Title Farmagia and Striking New Teaser for DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion
TORRANCE, Calif., — May 30, 2024 — Marvelous USA, Inc. and XSEED Games today shared a localized version of parent company Marvelous Inc.’s second annual ‘Marvelous Game Showcase,’ which debuted today at 3:00pm PT. President Suminobu Sato hosted the showcase and was joined by key members of development teams to provide updates on titles announced in last year's event, and announce new regional and global initiatives for the Marvelous family of companies.
youtube
Farmagia (formerly Project Magia): Product Manager Takehiro Ishida revealed the official title of the project, Farmagia, and presented the game’s opening animation, giving gamers an action-packed look at the cast of characters and powers they wield. Ishida-san also shared details on key characters in the game, designed by popular artist Hiro Mashima, including Ten, the protagonist who often acts before thinking; Arche, his childhood friend who balances both kindness and a competitive nature; Chica, another childhood friend with a more reserved demeanor; and Lookie-Loo, Ten’s sidekick and de-facto mascot. The title is planned for a global release in 2024.
STORY OF SEASONS: The next, as-yet-untitled entry in the beloved franchise continues its development as the team focuses on improvements to the visual presentation and natural environments. Series Manager Hikaru Nakano joined to debut a fresh look at the results of their efforts, highlighting how aspects such as updated natural lighting and festival fireworks have been improved to enhance immersion and atmosphere. The project remains in active development and will be fully revealed at a later date. In the meantime, Nakano-san confirmed new gameplay features including a player-controlled glider and the return of fan-favorite pets.
Amusement Section: Marvelous Inc. supports more than just PC and console entertainment and announced a number of new arcade initiatives including NARUTO: Arcade Battle, which will be available in North America this summer. Players will experience the world of NARUTO on a massive 50” screen, where they’ll engage in intense ninjutsu battles and collect plates to reach the highest rank they can! Arcade titles for Japan release only were also presented.
Indie Partner Lineup: The Marvelous family continues to invest in helping creative and exciting visions from smaller indie developers become a reality with global support for titles! Titles introduced for worldwide release include Bitsummit 2023 Grand Prize winner Death the Guitar, where players become an electric guitar fighting with the power of death metal to avenge their owner, planned for a 2025 release; and Moonlight Peaks, the supernatural-themed vampire farming/life sim title from Dutch developer Little Chicken, scheduled for 2026 release. One additional title, Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, was also presented for release in Asia and Japan by Marvelous on July 28, 2024.
Rune Factory: Following a brief history on the evolution of the Rune Factory series and how it has grown across nine titles released over 18 years, Rune Factory series Director Shiro Maekawa joined the stream to reveal a new video for Rune Factory: PROJECT DRAGON sharing a look at the title’s protagonists. Players can choose to play as either Subaru or Kaguya, two new Earthmates with a twist; they will use the power of dance, rather than farming, to communicate and interact with the world around them. This new approach to interacting with the world comes with non-combat tools, including parasols and drums; series staple weapons like swords; and brand-new weapon types to experiment with, including bows and talismans.
DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion: First revealed during last year’s Marvelous Game Showcase, DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion once again closed out the show, where President Sato-san shared an evocative look at Marvelous’ First Studio’s mech-action sequel.  Additional details including platforms and a release window will be announced at a later date.

Wasn’t gonna make a rant post about this but I’ve seen one too many hate comments to not:
Kimi Antonelli crashed George Russell’s car on his formula one debut in FP1 Monza GP 2024. Yes this crash highlighted his inexperience. No this does not directly mean he’s not good enough for the merc seat next year or overhyped or rushed too quickly.
The crash itself shows that Kimi is willing to push himself to his limits (which according to the limited data from fp1 is incredibly fast). Sure he doesn’t always know his limits but an occasional crash is part of the learning curve. Most of that learning will come from literally getting to know a formula one car the other part of that learning curve will also be finding his confidence.
He and Max Verstappen are two different drivers! I’m the first person to say there are absolutely some similarities between the two— both young talents, both seemingly willing to drive to the edge. Let’s remember that max also needed time to develop his raw talent. Max crashed a LOT. But they have different driving styles, different paths to f1 and most importantly are different human beings!
team Merc/toto absolutely knows that they’ve rushed Kimi. They had “no” choice. They have a HUGE seat to fill since Lewis is moving to Ferrari. That being said, they know Kimi is gonna take time to develop his skills. If they wanted a seasoned driver in the seat right away, they would have signed a season driver (Carlos is the first to come to mind). They have George who is a seasoned driver and they also want to plan for the future.
Putting Kimi into the car in 2025 gives him a year to gain experience and develop his talent and then hopefully be ready to challenge in 2026 when the new regulations come in. They’re not expecting him to win the WDC in 2025. Their car isn’t even good enough for a WDC with Lewis freaking Hamilton rn. Merc has thought this out for both today AND tomorrow.
So yes. Kimi is gonna crash. But yes he has talent. Only time will tell if he’s gonna be a GOAT one day, but he’s gotta start eventually, and merc has made their choice. Personally I’m so excited to watch his debut in f1 and his growth through it!
