astro observations pt. 11

reminder that readings are open! 💕

take with a grain of salt! only take what resonates

comment below what you wanna see next :)

🩵 having taurus and capricorn in the big 6 can indicate someone who is very smart and doesn’t take bs (a little bit brisk and direct when it comes to social stuff too)

❤️ cancer and capricorn placements on the big 3/6 tend to have long squarish/oval faces

🩵 capricorn placements are good at songwriting

❤️ another good songwriting placement im noticed is having your 3rd house ruler in the 1st (this using whole signs but ex: lana del rey, britney spears, lorde)

🩵 cancer risings are not just protective, sensitive, etc… jupiter is exalted in cancer so cancer natives are usually pretty joyous and interesting people to talk to too (like sagittarius rising honestly)

❤️ 12th house ruler retrograde = night owl?? or someone who delays going to sleep

🩵 scorpios and saggitarius suns are so similar in my experience and just the signs in general they’re just similar somehow

❤️ 4th house ruler in 7th house can indicate living in pairs when younger? i feel like this is actually a pretty difficult placement for a child just because the 7th house is about equality and sharing and so the child may have had to take on several responsibilities or compromises in order to maintain a peaceful/functional home

🩵 taurus and libra in the big 3 have such aesthetically pleasing faces😭 especially the nose?? but i don’t think there’s any evidence to back up the nose part

❤️ leo and scorpio in the big 3/6 🤝 anger issues + getting-over-emotional-and-acting-immaturely because-of-it issues

🩵 people who have their 8th house ruler in the 3rd can really dread school

❤️ uranus in the 10th or close to mc can be really provocative people especially sexually i’ve noticed

🩵 i’ve noticed loads of famous people have their 5th house ruler in the 11th (using whole signs) madison beer, elvis presley, mariah carey, etc…

❤️ sagittarius risings are lucky but also having cancer in their 8th house is not a pretty placement. a lot of sagittarius risings can have family issues or can struggle to find support from others

🩵 gemini mars are so good at comebacks, they’re so sassy

❤️ leo and sagittarius risings are good storytellers i find, it seems like they have such chaotic lives lol

🩵 sun-uranus people are leaders and can be assertive when they need to be. bosses af

❤️ people who have all 3 modalities in their big 3 can mesh with so many different types of people

🩵 it’s difficult having planets in the 7th because it feels like you see that energy in everybody else but yourself. case and point, i thought a girl was aries sun/rising but it turns out she just had mars in her 7th house lol. astrologers, feel free to tell me what you think about this observation because i’m not entirely sure on how accurate this is to the actual meaning of the 7th house but i think it can def make sense with what the 7th house deals with

❤️ aries moons 🤝 leather jackets

hope you enjoyed!

Idolizing Imperfection: The Ancient Allusions of 'Midas Touch' - KISS OF LIFE (an essay)

I have missed writing kpop essays so much and after watching the new Kiss of Life MV, I couldn't resist doing a scene by scene (with some lyrics) breakdown of the allusions to ancient mythology - (there are lots of other modern references, especially to Britney Spears, but the ancient ones are what I will be focusing on here, believe me there is more than enough to talk about.) I don't have any official qualifications surrounding this field (yet), but I am studying classical civilization and roman literature for a qualification, and I have a long time obsession with Greek mythology especially. Obviously all of these are my interpretations, this is not a definite guide to what exactly the creative direction team at S2 Ent. were thinking about for this comeback, and if you think I missed something or have a different interpretation of one of the scenes, please let me know in the reblogs/comments.

Let’s begin with the title of the track, ‘Midas Touch’. It references the Greek myth of King Midas, who (according to Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’) after winning the favour of the god Dionysus, was granted any wish he desired. Midas chose the ability to make everything he touched turn into gold, a wish driven by greed. Midas revelled in his new found powers, but the problems arose when he realised that all food he touched would be turned to gold too - he had condemned himself to starve to death. The myth is essentially a cautionary tale about the effects of greed; Midas is a tragic hero that brought about his own suffering due to his hamartia (tragic flaw) - his blessing becomes his curse. Today, having a ���midas touch’ means that everything you are involved with is successful, but the main association of Midas with greed still remains. In the context of the song, KOL are saying that a relationship with them, although destined to end in tragedy, would be worth it for the ‘gold’ they can bring - “위험할수록 재밌잖아” (“The more dangerous it is, the more fun it is”).  Midas may have died a tragic death, but his time alive was quite literally golden. Still, it feels slightly odd that KOL are associating themselves with someone so flawed - an idol should be the image of perfection, and in this way, the meaning of the song becomes quite subversive on a meta level. Keep this interpretation in the back of your mind, we will return to it later.

Within the music video itself, each of the four members are given solo scenes that I believe allude to different women of Greek mythology. Julie is first, depicted lying on a blush pink velvet heart with gold embellishments, shell and heart shaped boxes littered around her. The composition of the framing, as well as the beach imagery seems to allude to Boticelli’s ‘The Birth of Venus’, linking Julie with Aphrodite/Venus, the goddess of love. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is seen as beautiful beyond compare, but is also often characterised as highly vain and self absorbed. After hearing that some Greeks had begun to worship the ludicrously beautiful mortal woman Psyche instead of her, (and also out of protection of her son Eros to whom Psyche was married), she sent Psyche on a series of impossible trials designed to kill her, so she could remain the most beautiful. Once again, KOL compare themselves to people in the ancient world who were famously flawed.

Natty is seen next, intertwined with glittering spider webs. This is perhaps a reference to the tale of Arachne, a mortal woman who was highly skilled at weaving. She boasted that her skills were greater than Athena herself, the goddess of handicraft (and many other things), and Athena transformed her into a spider as punishment for her hubris (excessive pride). Like the tale of King Midas, Arachne’s story also centres around a fatal flaw bringing your own downfall, and like Midas and Aphrodite, Arachne is not typically remembered fondly within Greek Mythology canon.

Perched on a half dress, half throne that resembles a peacock, Belle is seen next. Originally I wasn’t certain who was being referenced here, but after some research I believe it may be Hera, although if you have another interpretation here I would love to hear it. Hera, the goddess of marriage and fertility, queen of the gods, and wife to Zeus, is affiliated with peacocks as they are one of her sacred animals, and are said to pull her chariot like horses. Hera is also, like Aphrodite, a goddess often portrayed in a negative light in mythology, repeatedly characterised as jealous and spiteful. A famous example of this is when Hera sent two snakes to strangle Heracles/Hercules, the illegitimate son of her husband Zeus, out of spite and jealousy for the boy’s mortal mother. Whether Hera had a right to be annoyed at her husband’s repeated adultery is another discussion, but generally speaking, when Hera is in a myth, she is often the villain.

Finally, we see Haneul, perched upon a corinthian style column (we love a greek column) surrounded by severed heads on spikes, a clearly war ridden scene. This is the allusion I am the least confident about, but I think perhaps she is supposed to be Helen of Troy? Helen is famous for being the catalyst for the Trojan War (perhaps this is the war scene she sits within?), she is the ‘face that launched a thousand ships’. Depending on the source, Helen is either a victim, kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, or she was seduced and went willingly, abandoning her Greek husband King Menelaus. The second seems to be the accepted narrative among many Roman authors, with writers such as Martial (in Epigrams 1.62) portraying her as the polar opposite of Penelope, who was seen as the image of loyalty. As a result, Helen is commonly portrayed as disloyal and unfaithful, the opposite of what an ideal woman in the ancient world was supposed to act like.

In their group scenes, there is also SO MUCH Medusa imagery - with snakes crawling all over their faces and hissing at the camera, and half broken stone statues littered here and there. As I am sure you are probably aware, Medusa is very much a villain in the myths she is depicted in, and despite modern reevaluations of her story (that I agree with) portraying her as a victim, in the primary sources, she is essentially an evil monster for Perseus to destroy - her death marks Perseus’s ascension to hero status.

So why oh why are KOL comparing themselves to figures so flawed? In their previous releases, especially their first comeback with ‘Bad News’, the girls are depicted trying to fix injustices in society - they expose corruption in corporations, they combat casual misogyny and sexual harassment, and they call out bullying and abuse. In ‘Midas Touch’ I believe they continue their addressing of injustices and double standards, this time with a focus on the idol industry, their own stomping ground. In the kpop industry, idols are expected to be perfect in every way - beautiful, highly skilled, never controversial, and loyal to their fans. Should an idol fail to uphold these impossible standards, they are relentlessly punished, especially if the idol is a woman. Last month, Karina’s earnest apology to ‘fans’  for falling in love exposed how ludicrous the standards are to the world, and other idols like Sakura, Wonyoung, and Jennie, continue to get bullied on a daily basis for not meeting all of the bars the industry sets them. A kpop idol should be talented, but never show off, they should be beautiful and care about their looks but never be vain, confident but never egotistical, and driven by passion, not the desire for fame and money. It’s all fucking impossible, especially when what constitutes being called the second traits is utterly arbitrary and depends on how many people woke up on stan twitter and decided they didn’t like you that day. In ‘Midas Touch’ KOL calls this out by openly depicting themselves with the traits that kpop stans hate - Julie is Aphrodite, beautiful but vain, Natty is Arachne, talented but boastful, Belle is Hera, confident but jealous, Haneul is Helen, influential but disloyal, and they all are Midas, spurred on by greed instead of passion. They recognise that these accusations are unavoidable, and by reclaiming the imagery of these symbols of undesirable traits, they call out and reject the standards the idol industry places upon them. Like Medusa, they may be seen by many fans as a villain, a hurdle for their favourite groups that have more promotion and budget to overcome on their way to the top, but in actuality, they are victims of an industry desperate to mould them into products to be bought and sold. I’ve seen lots of discussion online about what KISS OF LIFE’s concept is, as it seems to vary every comeback, but after ‘Midas Touch’ I am led to believe that their concept is rebellion, against society, idol culture, and the things they deem as wrong in the world. Other groups have  done concepts similar in the past, such as LOONA in ‘Butterfly’ (you really thought I wasn’t going to bring them up at some point?? Are you new here??) but KOL is doing it explicitly, and consistently, and to me, that's very exciting. The kpop industry is ever changing, and with the foundations of the new 5th generation being established as we speak, perhaps KOL could cause it to change for the better. In summary, I am SO excited to see what they do next.

That honestly took a turn I wasn’t fully expecting at the end, but I hope you enjoyed regardless - I didn’t really talk about the actual song here, but I fucking loved it, and my full review will be part of my April monthly roundup - see previous installments on my masterlist. I encourage all of you to listen to ‘Midas Touch’ if you haven’t already, congratulations KISS OF LIFE for graduating nugudom, stream Birth by ARTMS, stan loona, and prepare for the loossemble comeback - lmk if you have any thoughts on my analysis or any other interpretations, or any topics you want me to write an essay on. cya next time ~ ari

Your energy is very abundant! This is definitely my sex worker pile. You're a "fan favorite" in your line of work. You have a lot of support from people in this community, whether you know this or not. They feel like you paved the way for others. Being in your energy feels illuminating to others. People are unafraid to be their true selves around you. You're sexually liberated and unapologetic as hell about it! The way you dress is being highlighted. Classy and elegant. You show a nice amount of skin, but not too much. You leave the rest to their imagination. I heard "classy in the streets, freak in the sheets." Someone here could have a goth style. Or you wear a lot of black. Tattoos? People love your legs! Your skin is very soft and glowy. Many people wonder if you've had surgery. They wanna know your secrets because your beauty is unreal! Those of the same sex often catch themselves checking you out. You could have a more dominating attitude. You know how to manipulate and demand the things that you want. Most people know the relationship is just business with you. They love that sh*t tho. You pretty much have both sexes groveling at your feet to be with you. People become obsessed with you very easily. They love the passion that you show towards them. Even if it's just for a moment. People love the way the way that you taste. I heard "sweet and savory". The people you've been intimate with think you put some kind of spell on them. I heard "that p*ssy got power".🤣 For someone here, your romantic partners think you're unreliable or flaky at times. You only stay for a season. It makes them kinda sad honestly. It kinda comes off like you're avoidant towards love. But really you just know how to play your cards right and won't settle for less than what you deserve. You know what deserves your attention and what doesn't.

You live your life unapologetically by always doing what makes you happy. People love how you don't allow your outside influences to change who you are. You look within to gain happiness. Someone here could be apart of the LGBTQ+ community. You really don't give a f*ck about people's judgement of you and your character. Hella unbothered because you know what's best for you always. Your sense of fashion is very admired as well. You might like to show a lot of skin. I'm picking up on a y2k/hello kitty/gyaru kind of style? You might like to wear skirts/dresses with stockings. Someone here dresses in the cottage core style. Your outfits make you look like a doll. People really love your chest area, even if you don't think so. Your body is very proportionate. You might keep your nails done or your brows/lashes. People love this high maintenance aspect about you. For my males here, your facial hair is so sexy, especially if you keep it trimmed. The way you keep your hair nicely cut is very attractive. Your 🍆 size is very admired as well. Anyone you've been intimate with is instantly hooked. Someone here likes to dress in button up shirts or suits. Very casual with a sprinkle of classiness. You're the apple of many people's eye and you don't even realize it. People actually have a lot of nice things to say about you. I'm getting that maybe you don't expect this? People are very attracted to your intelligence. I heard "analytical". You let your intuition and intellectual ability guide you through life. You're very quick on your feet and have the wittiest comebacks ever! People really love talking to you. Some may think you're chaotic or all over the place at times. But really that energy makes you thrive and leave your comfort zone. You do what's best for YOU, even if it doesn't make sense to everyone else. Your romantic partners find you really hard to pin down. There's someone specific coming through here. They could be from your recent past? They wish to take things to the next level with you. But they fear that you'll want to keep the connection the same and ultimately a secret.

You allow yourself to be vulnerable and open with everyone around you. Romantic or not. There's so many different layers to you and people love every single one! The passion and love you give is so deep. It really is like no other. You tend to just lay your emotions out on the table. This is why people find it so hard to let you go. Being with you feels like a drug. People love when you take care of them. Your massages feel like heaven. Someone here likes to let their partner lay their head in your lap. You might attract people with mommy issues. I'm getting that you've encountered many partners that didn't know how to properly cherish and reciprocate your love. Despite that, you never let it deter you from finding love. A true hopeless romantic. You're the ideal perfect partner to others. The ultimate fantasy. You're like a goddess in human form. You have a beautiful European/western look to you. I keep picturing a girl with long blonde hair. It makes me think of Lux Lisbon. You have a beaming smile. Someone here has beautiful deep brown eyes. Or hazel. Your body might have the shape of a literal hourglass. There's an emphasis on your hips. Your partner loves how fertile you are. You might be a creamer/squirter. Your partner enjoys c*mming inside of you. Someone here likes to add food into their sexy time. You're a true freak in bed. You don't show that side to just anyone though. Thats what makes it so special.

You're a very bold and brave individual. You might come across as brash at times, but this is actually one of your most liked traits. People love how you put yourself out into the world without any second thought. You're strictly all about your money. Never letting anyone or anything distract you. You're heavily committed to your responsibilities and self-improvement. Someone here might take care of a child or family member. You're that one person that people know they can always count on. You live a very balanced life. This is very inspiring to your friends. You might be in college currently or you're close to graduating. You could have a more modest style, or you prefer to dress down. I heard that drake lyric, "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on. That's when you the prettiest." Someone here likes to wear pigtails or messy buns. You could have brown/blonde highlights. Someone here wears glasses. You could have freckles or a distinct beauty mark. You might be polyamorous or you're in an open relationship currently. If so, people love that you keep your relationships balanced. You don't ever let things get messy. You're the dominant one in bed. You like to give orders. Someone here likes to play with toys or blindfolds. You could like to play with candle wax? Your partners really enjoy trying new things with you. You're a very fun lover to be with.

Happy birthday Lena Martell, born May 15th 1940 in Possilpark, Glasgow.

Born Helena Thomson, she began singing at the age of 11 with her eldest brother’s band. After his untimely death, Martell decided to pursue a career in music as a tribute.

Her rising popularity among the easy listening elite allowed for the release of Lena’s Music Album in 1979. The record spawned a number one hit, One Day at a Time, written by Kris Kristofferson and Marijohn Wilkin, it helped launch Lena’s career. Producer and bandleader George Elrick and Martell continued to release records throughout the 1980s, she recorded more than 30 albums, some of which went silver, gold and platinum, including By Request, Beautiful Sunday , Love Songs, and Feelings, before her retirement in the early ‘90s, for a decade Lena also had her own Saturday night BBC TV show with over 12 million viewers. Lena worked with Liza Minnelli and understudied for Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl on Broadway.

She has been through a lot in the years since her hey day, She almost lost her voice with cancerous nodes, has had a double mastectomy, had two nervous breakdowns and the death of her mum after caring for her through the ravages of Alzheimer’s, she has also had surgery to replace a valve in her heart, and in March 2008 underwent a triple heart bypass operation- Lena is really one of life’s survivors.

In 2004, her comeback CD My Homeland outsold Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears in Scottish record shops and went gold.

In 2012 she celebrated 50 years in show business with a tour that kicked off in Glasgow. Sean Connery quoted at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004; “The best singer not to record a Bond soundtrack was Lena Martell”

I’ve chosen a great tune from Lena's album My Homeland.

I’ve seen the snow that falls across Alaska I’ve watched the sun go down on Galway Bay The Pyramids and all the “Seven Wonders” I’ve danced the night away in Monterrey But my Homeland, your beauty shines forever It burns like some eternal flame So hard to put in words how much I love you I’m so proud at the mention of your name

Scotland the lion roars inside of me My Country, my Home, my only one The City of Glasgow I was Born Scotland I love you and I’m proud to be your son

The world is full of magic and of wonder The sights I’ve seen just take my breath away But when I return home to Caledonia My heart is here, and here I’ll always stay

Scotland the lion roars inside of me My Country, my Home, my only one The City of Glasgow I Was Born Scotland I love you and I’m proud to be your son

Every Scotsman and Woman hold your head up high Thank your Father’s for the land they held so dear Sing these words with pride when you think of home Sing them loud,so all the world can hear.

Scotland the lion roars inside of me My Country, my Home, my only one The City of Glasgow I was Born Scotland I love you and I’m proud to be your son

Scotland I Love You,And I’m Proud To Be Your Son.

JUSTIN Timberlake and Britney Spears' "feud" is non-existent and the trauma over her abortion has been resolved privately.

Timberlake apologized to his ex-pop superstar partner and they are now "fine," his NYSNC bandmate Lance Bass revealed in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun.

Bass is a friend to both Britney and bandmate and long-term pal Justin.

Bass says that Britney addressed the break up in the book to set her record straight on that split, but "that was the past”.

He insists that while publicly it appears Spears remains upset, seemingly through her social media posts, “They don't care. They are good.”

Speaking exclusively on camera, at the annual Environmental Media Association Awards in LA, Bass said that the deeply personal issues between the couple was not even a "fight".

The ex-NSYNC star feels that his friends’ personal woes were "just life".

Bass, 44, also added that Britney fans' successful push of her single Selfish ahead of Timberlake's new single of the same name on the iTunes Charts is "good for everyone".

Currently, some Spears’ fans continue to attack her ex-partner following her memoir heartbreak of him wanting an abortion and cheating allegations in 2001.

When asked how the famous couple solve their differences, Bass declared: “Well, the problem is they've already sorted it out and everyone just forgets.

“No, they are fine. They support each other. They love each other in their own ways.

“He has apologized. She is amazing. It's just like everyone, this has happened already.

“So I think just people like to keep fights going, but look at the people that are in the fight. They don't care. They're good.”

Spears claimed in her memoir, the media portrayed her as “a harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy," while she was really “comatose in Louisiana” as he was “happily running around Hollywood”.

Justin has not made any public comment about Spears’ claims, but did tell fans at his Vegas gig in December “no disrespect” before playing Cry Me a River - a tune penned about her cheating on him.

Hours later she appeared to fire back on Instagram: “I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball and he would cry... no disrespect.”

Bass, wearing a vibrant green suit and sporting violet hair, says The Woman In Me is not reflective of their status now.

"But she was talking about her past. She's not talking about right now. Okay. So what's happening right now - they are fine.

"I don't know why people try to keep this fight going. It wasn't even really a fight. It was just life.”

Bass also feels that Spears‘ fans continuing to disrupt Timberlake is not necessarily a bad thing.

'GOOD FOR EVERYBODY'

They sent her tune named Selfish to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart, stopping his tune from a top spot.

Bass, 44, feels Timberlake, whose new album Everything I Thought It Was is released on March 15, is winning despite the drama.

“It's good for everybody, right?

“Yeah. Any press is good press is what they say. . So yeah, I mean, it's fine. Now they both have singles in the top 10, which is great.”

Bass admits that while Timberlake has his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which kicks off in Vancouver, Canada on April 29, There are no NSYNC reunion plans.

He added that there is "always hope”, especially after how fans reacted to Bass, JT, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez, reuniting for The Trolls film comeback single before Christmas.

”The fans are incredible. They keep us alive, but they've been with us since the last NSYNC tour.

“So it's like we've never felt like they've left us at all. So everything that I've ever done, I felt that they were there.

"They've always shown up for me in every individual project I've done.

"When we get together as a group, it is a different thing.

“It's just this kind of craziness that happens and it's fun.

"It's fun to see the reaction. I love the smiles and how happy people get seeing us all five together. It is rare, but it's special.”

K/DA Lore

A while ago I impulsively wrote an entire series of lore headcanons for the KDA girl group. It started off with a pre popstar Ahri and I went from there.

I took inspiration from the KDA comics, the bios of the connected skins (popstar ahri) the official websites and the dev interviews etc to form my personal take on kda's story.

So here it is. I'll be posting in parts. Starting with...Ahri.

Ever since she was a little girl Ahri would post homemade performance videos of her singing and playing either the *guitar or piano. After gaining a small following the indie singer went on to entering cover contests when her cover for *"tell me your wish" blew up. That's when talent scouts from (record label) discovered the gumiho and offered to write her a contract. In *2013 Ahri the popstar would release her first hit album and go on her spirit rush tour around America. It was 2015 and Ahri would had go on to sign 2 more annual contracts and was in the production of her third album when she suddenly broke her contract with (record label) and wouldn't return to the music industry until 2018 with K/DA'S hit POPSTARS with another comeback in 2020.

*Ahris use in guitar and piano comes from the kda comics and her twitter campaign: 1 2 3

*"Tell me your wish" is a reference to her popstar Ahri skin which was based of the costumes from this music video. I imagine her doing an acoustic guitar cover of this song for the contest entry.

*2013 is the year popstar Ahri released on lol.

*Ahri's story is inspired by the indie youtuber to popstar trope and the teen popstar.

*Real life celebrities that influenced my take on Ahri include: Taylor Swift and Britney Spears.

*Ahri is Korean in this AU but posted her videos on to American Youtube because she was inspired by both western and Korean pop and is how an American record label discovered her.

*Ahri is a Gumiho/Nine tailed fox from the Korean folklore. As to how a supernatural creature can exist in a modern universe without people questioning it. I've made it that her identity as a fox is a secret and isn't known to the public.

She looks like a normal girl using some kind of magic to hide her ears and tails at will. When she joins the record label they give her a fox costume as her "gimmick" and so she cosplays her iconic pinky fluffy tails and a headband with blonde fox ears throughout her contract with the record label.

When she leaves the record label in 2015 (just like in the comics) she ditches her costume and fully embraces her gumiho form in POPSTARS.

More to be explained in the next part...Evelynn's story.

She likes to eat Chinese food.

She has never taken formal singing lessons.

She has 3 tattoos: one under her left breast which says "Just Breathe," another one on her ear which says "Love," and has an outline of a 'heart' on her ring finger on her right hand.

She is a fan of Britney Spears and considers her to be one of her idols.

She was baptized, and is a Christian, at South Baptize Church.

Before getting the part of Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, she was a gymnast, and later became an advanced cheerleader. She can do splits, backflips, back tucks, front and back handsprings, and more tumbling and stunt skills. Miley originally auditioned for Lilly, which went to Emily when Miley got the lead role.

Miley's casting as the titular blonde pop star saw her real-life father Billy Ray cast as said character's father, making her one of two actors whose real-life father portrayed her character's father.

She made a comeback in 2013 for singing, and won awards in the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.

She published her book about her life called, Miles To Go.

She first started doing gymnastics, but switched to cheerleading later on.

She was bullied in the 6th grade.

Mitchell and Miley became instant best friends on set, but Miley and Emily struggled with feelings of competitiveness and jealously.

Miley even said that once, she and Emily fought so badly during their on-set lessons that both of their parents had to get involved

She and her character Miley Ray Stewart were born in the same day.

Her girls crushes are Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry and Kristen Stewart.

I rewatched Britney 2.0 and the bts videos in preparation for the next recap epsiode.

New York: The Cassandra/Rachel drama goes on. Cassandra refuses to teach Rachel the tango. After a dance number with the help of Brody, a confrontation and an apology Rachel gets to learn the tango.

Rachel and Kurt find an apartment, Brody brings a housewarming gift and tries to kiss Rachel.

Ohio: Sue kicks Brittany of the Cheerios. Brittany acts out Britney Spears downward spiral to make a comeback and her plan kind of works. In the end Brittany rejoins the Cheerios.

Unique warns Marley about Jake, but Marley goes on a date with him anyway.

Puck gives his half-brother Jake a pep talk and convinces him to join the glee club.

Cringe moment: I heard Britney Spears wasn't happy that her life was used for a storyline.

Funniest moment: When Jake joins the glee club, he looks at everybody. I had no memory of their weird faces. I laughed out loud.

best dance move: Hold It Against Me

best songs: Boys/Boyfriend, Crazy/You Drive Me Crazy, Everytime

performance mvp: Heather Morris

Cinema Starview Presents: The Idol…? 👎🏽

So, I’ve watched 3 episodes and have officially decided to stop watching. The reviews and critics of the show are right, but over exaggerate the narrative they’re trying to paint by sounding like prudes.

The series follows Jocelyn, an aspiring pop star, trying to have a comeback after suffering from a nervous breakdown, and the death of her abusive mother. These episodes revolve around Joce trying to reclaim her title as the sexiest pop star in America. With the hectic celebrity life, she begins a complex relationship with Tedros, a self-help guru and the head of a contemporary cult.

I won’t disagree with the fact that it DOES showcases the overly sexual stuff, but it’s not extreme, it’s just annoying, not needed and doesn’t move the plot forward. It’s just there for the ratchet sake of our current hyper-sexualized culture and overexposure of the female body. If there’s gonna be nudity, it should be equal nudity or none at all.

This show has honestly just confirmed that Sam Levinson definitely needs to be investigated in the future for how much he over sexualizes his white female characters. I won’t be surprised if Euphoria gets cancelled because of his terrible erotic writing. I think this show HAS ruined the mystique of The Weeknd by showcasing how he doesn’t care about women stories. I never knew he was this pretentious as he is. Lily Rose Depp is the only grace I can give this show, but she doesn’t save the show at all.

Also, we need to trash the entire narrative of the pop star with trauma, cause it never works the way it should and it’s always tying back to the negative press Britney Spears has received over the years. She needs a break, and shouldn’t be used for plot conveniency to progress a storyline about the darkness of Hollyweird.

I only kept coming back for Moses Sumney and they barely show Jennie, so K-POP stans were used and pandered to. Overall, I’m not watching or finishing the rest of this show.

SCORE: 2/10 ⭐️
