Little Simz - I Love You, I Hate You

Lyrics :

I love you

I hate you

I love you

I hate you

I love you

So much I would give my life for this

 If the bullet was the beat I would probably die for this

 How many times did I cry for this?

I would hate myself if I didn’t at least try for this

 What’s at stake is bigger than me

 Blood tears how it stains can’t rid it with ease

 What we have in common is our pain we’re given the keys

 To unlock what it takes to fight for what we believe in

 Hard to confront the truth of what you see in the mirror

Some people you inspire and others you trigger

Fighting in blind faith led by the internal voice

You might not wanna do it but you don’t have a choice

Will the pressure take me to new heights or be my demise

Will my intentions coincide with what I advise

The people looking up to me doing everything right

But who am I to tell anyone how to live their life?

Your pain threshold will determine if you survive I’m amazed by it

Lying to myself pretending I was never phased by it

Maybe cos you’re in my DNA that’s why

I love you I hate you I love you

Sometimes I hate you

Always I love you

But right now I hate you

I love you

I hate you 

You made a promise to God to be there for your kids

You made a promise to give them a life you didn’t live

My ego won’t fully allow me to say that I miss you

A woman who hasn’t confronted all her daddy issues The day would come when you gotta find all the answers to your sins

Pressures of providing feeling unhappy within

Or what kind of external family shit up on your plate

But I understand wanting and needing an escape

Too much unsaid now the silence giving me headaches

Only through speech can we let go of all this dead weight

Even though I’m angry don’t wanna be disrespectful

Tryna figure out how to approach this in the best way

Hard to not carry these feelings even on my best days

Never thought my parent would give me my first heartbreak

Anxiety giving me irregular heart rate

Used to avoid getting into how I really feel about this now I see how fickle life can be and so it can’t wait

Shoulda been the person there to hold me on my dark days

It’s easier to stargaze

And wish than be faced with this reality

Is you a sperm donor or a dad to me and still

I love you I hate you I love you I hate you Always I love you But right now I hate you Always I love you I hate you

On this mission you live and you learn

The world don’t show you no mercy from birth

How do you humanise your hero?

Round here you're only respected if earned

Half hearted sorry’s cant let your guard down

To get to nirvana where do you start out?

Angry cos they don’t meet your unrealistic standards

Then you realise that they're human and you calm down

Sometimes I’m unbalanced and I think rah why am I losing my steps?

Lately I’m paranoid I feel my life is a mess I’m just using my voice hope it will have an effect

He was just once a boy I often seem to forget

Looking at Polaroid’s of pictures secretly kept You know what was destroyed but you don’t know what was left

Tryna phase out the noise of all you hear in your head

Everything is a choice and anything can be said Is you missing the point are you just hearing me vent?

Or is you in understanding knowing my words will connect?

I keep you in my prayers cos life is short as we know

Every mistake you make should contribute to your growth

What you choose to avoid will probably come in your dreams I’m not forgiving for you man I’m forgiving for me

And sometimes I love you

I hate you Sometimes

I love you Sometimes

I hate you Always I love you

I hate you I love you I hate you

[marxism-transgenderism]

I went back and listened to some of Bambu's old songs and fuck I forgot how genuinely good his music is

[kala-ya-aan]

Check me out on verse 3! 💎

[pandabibble]

I'm spraying Hieroglyphics on this thread everytime I see it pass through in the hopes of purging some of the white supremacy from it

fuck killing a victorian child by making them listen to hyperpop all you gotta do is make a white tumblr user listen to rap

꒰ :🥀 [ Trainee days ] ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

┌───────────────────────── ·  ·  ·  · ♡

The fan in the practice room was humming loudly, but the music coming from the speakers toning it out. Your breathing was hard as you try to follow the steps shown by the instructor. The room was full of other trainess, the air was stuffy and hot. The peak of summer was finally reached, yet everyone in this room with a dream had to push through, push to their limits.

"We'll take a ten minute break, drink something." Rushing over to your bag, you quickly grab your water bottle, the slightly warm water running down your throat, a single drop running down your chin. Despite the water already turning slightly warm, it refreshed you, so you closed the cap and put it back into your bag before turning around. Your eyes scan over the room, stopping on a group of for three guys. Smiling softly as you make your way over to them, Wooyoung being the first to notice you, waving to you happily. San and Mingi turning soon to greet you too.

"We were just discussing to go grab something to eat tonight, do you have another practice afterwards? Want to come along?" Wooyoung was the one to adress you, thinking for a second before telling you'd be free after the dance lessons, agreeing to join them.

You were rather close to them, along with the other ones of their group. They were already selected to become a group, which made you happy and proud of them, but also a bit self concious, were you still training without being planned for a group, making you ponder if you would ever debut at all. Yet you of course supported them as best as you could, there weren't a lot of people in your company, so it was a rather close realation between the trainees from the start. Closest you were probably with Wooyoung and San, though recently you noticed you relationship with San shift. While you two were usually super close with skinship, cuddling and hugging when hanging out, you recently noticed how San stiffened up when you hugged him or how he even avoided your touch more often now, opting for cuddling with one of the boys than you. It hurt you, but you could not blame him, you were only friends after all, so this made you grow closer with Wooyoung and Mingi too.

The teacher announced the beginning again, having everyone get into position for anouther good two hours of dance practice. It was hard but you pushed through, breaking down onto the floor when it finally ended. Rubbing your legs softly, they were burning and hurting all over, your whole body was in pain. Happy that you only had singing and rap lessons the next two days, before dancing again.

"I'm so exhausted~" Wooyoung cried from behind you, when he sat down behind you on his knees, draping his arms around your shoulders and leaning his weight onto you. "Wooyoung you're to heavy!" Groaning now as you try to push your friend off of your shoulders to no avail, simply letting yourself fall to the side pulling Wooyoung with you. A sigh leaving your lips upon making contact with the cold floor, Wooyoung also relaxing upon feeling the coolness of the floor, his arms still around your shoulders.

"Are you guys finished? Our table is reserved for in half an hour." Seonghwas head popping into the room through the door, looking at you four, smiling when he sees you and Wooyoung cuddling on the floor. Getting up now, helping Wooyoung up before grabbing your bag and making your way to Seonghwa. "You're coming with us?" Nodding, he softly pats your head, making his way down the corridor to the exit with you guys. Not once noticing the slight glare that was send your way when you cuddled with Wooyoung or when Seonghwa patted you head.

The trip to the restaurant was rather quick, sitting beside San and Wooyoung soon, Jongho is grilling the meat, while Seonghwa grills some vegetables. Of course you noticed how San stiffened up again a bit beside you, making you glance over at him, he was avoiding your gaze as good as he could. Breathing out a bit harder, before turning to Wooyoung who asked you a question, leaning your head softly on his shoulders. Your thoughts were running wild, why was San suddenly so distant? Did you do something to offend him? You weren't the only one to have noticed Sans changed of behavior, Hongjoong and Seonghwa also noticed, seeing how San withdrew from you, stopped initiating skin contact with you and even stopped talking so much to you.

Wooyoung was slowly but surely noticing too, his hand softly resting on your knee right now to give you some sort of support. An idea coming into his head as his softly pushes you off of him. "San let her lean on you, she's exhausted and I gotta use the bathroom." Giving you a soft push soft your head lands on Sans stiff shoulder. You wanted to complain to Wooyoung, but he was already up and gone. Wanting to sit up again to not make San anymore uncomfortable, he softly grabs your arm to keep you close beside him, keep you resting your head on his shoulder. "It's fine, please stay." This was the first time in weeks that he initiated anything, making you smile softly. Despite trying to push the feeling away, you missed San and his touch dearly. It was so normal by now to hug and cuddle San all the time, so to day you felt touch deprived of him was and underestimatement.

Wooyoung soon coming back to the table, smiling triumphantly upon seeing you still resting on Sans shoulder, his hand holding yours softly with your fingers intertwined. The meal went on with you and San slightly going back to normal, when you sat up straight to eat, it was his turn to rest his head on your shoulder, pressing a soft kiss to your neck, while holding your hand. Eyes watching you lovingly, but that was only noticed by Seonghwa, finally dawning on him why San had withdrawn himself from you, quickly whispering over to Hongjoong whos gaze snapped over to the two of you.

"How about you sleep over at the dorm? It's late already." Hongjoong speaks up now to you, making Wooyoung and Mingi cheer and agree before even giving you the chance of choosing, making you giggle.

So you soon found yourself cramped together on their dorms couche, Wooyoung and Mingi claiming their spot beside you, making San pout who just joined with Seonghwa from the kitchen with popcorn. Since the couch is to small eitherway, you pat the spot in front of you, blankets and pillows were scattered on the floor, motioning for San to sit in front of you, which ha happily did. It was Jonghos turn to choose the movie and like the little devil he is, he choose a horror movie. Through the movie San at some point pulled your legs over his shoulders so he can lean his head on your thigh and hide his face if he gets to scared. Your hands meanwhile softly pushing through his fluffy hair, trying to help the boy in front of you calm down. Most of the boys were rather scared of horror or jumpscares, the only really immune ones being Yunho and Jongho himself. San was probably along with Mingi one of the worst ones to take horror, knowing it would result in San waking you up from the couch to pull you to his room to cuddle. At least you hoped it would happen and stay like usual, despite his change of behavior.

The movie ended, everyone gets up to go to their rooms and just San and you stay back. "You okay?" Leaning over to him, you softly pat his hair to make him look at you, only now noticing the soft pink blush on his cheeks. "Yeah.. I just.. Can you sleep in my room tonight?" His eyes not meeting yours, while the side of his face stays pressed to your thighs. "Of course, let's go." Pulling your legs from his shoulders, San gets up before pulling you up from the couch, luckily everyone changed into pyjamas before starting the movie. Not letting go of your hand, San pulls you along the dark hallway to his room, trying to be as quiet as possible to not wake one of the other members in his room.

Letting you lay down first, San get's in after you, pulling the blanket above the both of you. Looking into your face, his eyes held a soft gaze, the moonlight being the only source of light, yet San looked ethereal as ever. "I'm sorry for distancing myself recently I.." He stopped, his eyes going away from your own, reaching his hand up to softly grab yours, interwining his fingers with yours. Giving him his time to find his words, your softly squeez his hand assuring you that you're listening. "I think I got scared.. I've recently been noticing how I grow jealous seeing you with others, how my heart starts beating faster.." His voice barely a whisper as he said these words, not to wake his members up but also because he probably was scared if he talked louder you would go. "I've been acting like a fool and what I'm trying to say is.. I think I love you.." Eyes meeting yours finally, you can definitely see the anxiety in his eyes which slowly vanish upon seeing your soft and loving smile.

"Oh Sannie.. Why didn't you talk to me from the start? Do you know how long I've had feelings for you?" Your hand reaches up to softly push hair out of his face, before rubbing your knuckles over his cheek. His eyes were wide while staring at you, before he slides his arms around your waist and he pulls you close against himself, hiding his big smile in your neck. "Are you serious? You're not playing with me right?" His hopefull big eyes look up to you know, chuckling softly you press as soft kiss to his nose. "I would never play with you Sannie, yes I'm serious." San can't help it but a little tear runs down his cheek from how relieved he is that you didn't push him away.

Falling asleep together now, both with a soft smile on your lips. Not noticing the head that soon poke in, one watching you two with a smirk, the other with a soft smile, while Hongjoong hands Seonghwa money. "Told you he would confess tonight." Closing the door again, of course not mentioning that he had a little talk with San in the kitchen and pushed him to finally confess. That would be his little secret.

[rhapsoddity]

I read a writing prompt the other day where the hero got seriously injured and they showed up on their enemies door step saying they didn't know where else to go.

The first thing I thought of was Jimmy and Fwhip in your vigilante au

JUST YOUR LUCK I'VE WRITTEN A FWHIMMY DRABBLE FOR THIS

Today was a lazy evening for Fwhip. Even villains needed days off, and he was no exception. As the sun dipped behind the tops of the building, Fhwip sunk into his sofa, mindlessly watching trash TV.

His attention was snapped away by a light rap against his door. He wasn't expecting any visitors or any packages. Grumbling, he pushed himself to his feet.

"You better have a good reason to pull me from my sh-"

Fwhip cut himself off at the sight in front of him. Jimmy, still in full Sheriff costume, was slumped against the doorframe, pale as a sheet. He barely looked like he could hold himself upright.

"Jimmy?! Why are you-"

"I... I didn't know wh-where else to go..."

The vigilante crumpled in front of him, Fhwip barely catching him before he hit the ground. Fwhip dragged him inside, laying him down on the couch so he could close the door.

"M'sorry..." Jimmy mumbled.

"It's okay-"

"No; You hate m-me, I don't know why I even came- why I'm here."

"Shut up," Fwhip grumbled, "You betrayed me, but I don't want you dead. What's wrong with you anyway?"

"God," Jimmy weakly chuckled, "Where do I start-"

Fwhip kicked him in the shins, not in the mood tonight to deal with Jimmy's joking about.

"OW, THE FUCK?"

"Come on, no bullshit, what drove you here?"

"I was fighting a dickhead with some sort of gas powers, I managed to knock her out and restrain her, but I was using my bandana as a filter and it's not ideal."

Fwhip peeled Jimmy's mask off. It was drenched in sweat, his eyes bloodshot with a dark haze over them, and he was wheezing. Fucking hell, he clearly had multiple affects on him. Weakness and wither perhaps? Fhwip wasn't particularly familiar, his expertise was with technology, not potion effects.

"Well I respect any woman that can kick your ass, she's fucked you up."

"Fuck you dude, if you're gonna be a dick I'll leave."

As Jimmy went to get up, Fwhip held him down. With how weak Jimmy had become, he couldn't fight Fwhip's push.

"I'm a villain not a monster. You can recover, then you can fuck off."

Jimmy rolled his eyes at that, shrugging off Fwhip's hand, and looking over to gauge his chances of getting to the door.

"I'd rather my chances of collapsing in an alleyway-"

Fwhip roughly grabbed Jimmy's face, jerking it to look at him. He whimpered in suprise.

"Ah ah ah~ You are at MY mercy little hero. I could take you out of commission right now if I so wish."

Jimmy winced at the dark tone lacing Fwhip's words, straining against his grasp.

"So behave." He dropped his hand from Jimmy's face. "I don't want you trying to scramble up and away, you'll fall over and you barely have braincells as it is, you can't risk losing any more."

"H-hey!"

"I'm not wrong."

Fwhip left him unattended as he said this, dissapearing out of view to his kitchen. Jimmy didn't dare move from the couch. He knew that Fwhip could take him on 1 on 1 at full health, it'd be safest and smartest to just stay put for now. A few minutes later Fwhip came back with a coffee mug full of a purple liquid.

Jimmy was looking worse by this point, barely concious and slumped on the couch.

"Mnnn not drinking thattt..." He mumbled.

Fwhip rolled his eyes.

"It's not poison dumbass."

Fwhip gently tilted the potion into Jimmy's mouth. He pulled a face at the taste, before settling down. Before too long, Jimmy had passed out. He had not much energy to begin with, and that regren potion snatched away the rest of his energy to begin to heal him.

Now that Jimmy couldn't catch the look, Fwhip was looking over him fondly. Despite the fact that Jimmy's ideals were directly opposed to his, despite the fights they had and blood they'd drawn from eachother... He couldn't deny deep down he missed Jimmy.

Once apon a time, they'd been best friends. Hell, for a little while, they'd been more than that, before they'd fucked that up. Jimmy was inherently likeable, it was a shame he didn't join him when Fwhip had defected to villainy.

Maybe he would come round and see Fwhip's perspective one day. The man could hope at least.

Nightmares

——————————————————————————————————————

WARNINGS: Reader had a nightmare, Reader had a (semi?) panic attack because of it, Luke is a fucking SWEETHEART and helps them through it.

WORDS: 470+ (Not sure)

PAIRING: L.A. x gn!reader

——————————————————————————————————————

Luke wakes up to hear coughs and gasps, not even taking a second to open his eyes and get adjusted to being concious before his hand finds the light on the nightstand to turn it on as he's sitting up. He turns his head, noticing you sat up and struggling to breathe, coughing and gasping.

He reaches forward, ever so gently letting his hand graze over your shoulder, alerting you of his presence in your moment of what looks like pure panic. “Baby.. hey, hey.. try to breathe..” He whispers in a groggy voice, his free hand rubbing at his eyes so he can completely open them.

Luke can feel you tremble and shake just from his hand hovering over your shoulder, his worry growing when you flinch away from his touch. Though, you nearly fly into his arms when Roxy starts scratching at the door, your whine of fear almost mirroring hers. He looks over at the door, shouting “Go lie down, Roxy!” before looking back down at you. He sees your hands over your ears, leaning his head down a bit so he can whisper near your ear, wanting to be somewhat heard through your hands as they cover them.

“What's got you so riled up?” He asks in the sweetest, most caring tone he can hold. You find it hard to reply, still trembling and struggling to breathe through everything. “I don't- I don't..” You murmur, turning your head to look up at him with eyes that plead for him to not make you talk about it. He lightly nods his head in recognition, starting to gently shush you as he places his hands over yours, helping you block out all the noise of the world and hopefully his presence helps block out the lingering thoughts of the nightmare.

You adjust yourself to lay against him, your upper back against his chest and your head tipped a bit forward so you can stare down at yourself, almost reminding yourself that you're here. You can't help but look back at him every once in a while, the gentle shushing noise continuing even though you can barely hear it through the hands over your ears. After a bit of reluctance you decide to pull your hands off, his remaining over yours. Luke grabs your hands before rapping his arms around you, letting his forehead rest against the side of your head so he can continue with the soothing shushing, noise soft as his lips hover near your ear.

And eventually, after a little bit of sitting with him like that and listening to his soothing shushing, you start to calm down again, letting your body relax against his and your head tilt back to rest against his shoulder. He presses a light kiss to the crook of your neck, mumbling a few sweet praises, telling you he's proud of how you managed to calm down. At this point, you swear he knows just how to make everything feel.. okay, sounds like it could be the right word.

——————————————————————————————————————

You turn your head to the side, letting your lips meet his in a gentle kiss. He lets it linger for a second before pulling back, opening his eyes to look at you. "Can I ask what's got you so.. what got you so panicked?" Luke asks again, moving one hand to rest on the side of your face, thumb brushing over your cheek. You turn your head so you can look up at the ceiling, hesitant in how you want to word it - or if you even want to open up. "I.. uh, The.. bad dreams are getting.. worse?", all he can do is slowly nod his head and hold you tighter as he takes in your words. "Alright, alright.." He murmurs in response.

Luke adjusts himself to lean back a little more, letting you remain propped up laying against him. "Well, I'll be right here. No matter how bad they get." He adds, kissing the top of your head. You give him a light smile, getting comfortable on him before letting your eyes slip shut again, hoping the nightmares don't return. And, if they do, then at least Luke is there.

Right?

NOTES -

I'm on 2 fucking % and battery saver. My God.

Had to fucking come back and edit this bullshit of a fanfic💀 (Is it normal to hate ur own writing💀??)

Dearest Youth Day 1

(011124)

Today Doyoung reminded me once again why I keep stanning him. Under all that nessessary fanservice (fancalls, fanmeets with dressing up, aegyo, cuteness) and paper chase (brands, ads) is a true passionate singer with a selfmade man mindset.

Doyoung wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to be a stage director in the future a few years back. The way he changed some stages, continued with DY Track, used his drama/musical roles to bring in variety (to the chant guide) and new surprises.

Doyoung was in his prime vocally. The best I've heard him so far. And he got those "yes, I nailed it" tiny satisfied smirks here and there.

Doyoung arriving. The green clover leaf standie to take pics with. Do with the mascot.

Soundcheck: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Bye for now

The goods that VIP fans got: 1, 2

Messages: 1, 2, 3

Heh, DY Track was all over my feed. An uninterrupted stream of fancams. Doyoung knows how to make people talk about him on media. 1 (full), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (on the screen), 9 (undressing)

1 - I really like the coat. It brings the needed drama. Thanks to the stylist for offering this option to Do.

2 - Doyoung can rap with a deep voice, which is not common (and, with further improvement, can be even used for 127, as no other rappers among neos can match the tone). He reminded me of T.O.P

3 - Taeyong will be on Do's neck the moment Do returns from the military, haha. Tae will get his duet eventually, I'm convinced.

4 - Does anyone know if Tae's akgaes did any ripples in kfandom about TYTrack/DYTrack? Or the commotion was only in i-fandom? I'd like to know if Do was aware or not. As he added fuel to the fire with Mad City, heh.

5 - It is still obvious Doyoung doesn't feel himself very comfortable rapping and putting on an image. Maybe he needs more acting experience to get used to being "a liar". Or just perform this number more often. His body gave off him being self-concious during it. You know, the way shy people are awkward when dressed sexily, the "it's not really me" feeling.

6 - I was impressed with the fans quickly adapting chanting. Fact Check is really popular. And I like that Doyoung reminds his fans about his love for NCT. He is not just using the songs to fill in the setlist. He makes 127's songs into his own versions. "It is part of me". Like, imagine you are a solo fan and hate the group, and Do and the audience make it into a 5 minute 127 concert, heh.

The chant-teaching VCR. Fersen coming last was very intentional. Fans were made to anticipate. A longer version.

Snow flower. He really performs this song as a musical number.

First love. Again, the set up of the stage is well thought through.

17. Rest. Life is beautiful. Lost in California.

Doyoung's motto is "a good joke worth repeating 10 times", lol. His number with a long note and his piano-boy. The banana was also turned into a staple. Bunny.

So Do re-arranged "Litlle light" for the encore a bit. Wow, this is really the way to make a transition between segments in a concert. Keep the audience entranced with the light show, set up the mood, and make a dramatic entrance.

Doyoung's "you are not singing well" is not only for entertainment and creation of "Doyoung concert culture", he wants the fans to be involved, overcome their shyness/reluctance to sing (and laughing helps to relax, stop caring). He probably approaches it simply as a class president, used to gathering people and motivating them to participate in events, however, it really plays in his favour. The fans will leave the venue in a great mood. As I said before, singing together lifts up spirits, gives the feeling of being united with others, brings the feeling of joy. Koreans are very much into religious cults you know... heh. He is making one for himself. The followers of Doyoung.

And of course Doyoung knows how to sell merch.

A chatterbox who gets more confident with bickering with the fans. His disarming cute tone helps him. Promising lyrics and not showing them on screen ("but you are Doyoung's fan, aren't you?").

Frosty (?) - the new single. Side view.

Love me for a long time and love yourself ment.

The fans singing to LL. Baby butt bread pose with the audience. Doyoung leaving the venue.

There are many more fancams, but I will settle for now.

So, back to the "ready to be soloist". Doyoung is a complete product to sell and expand on. He already has a brand, a fan-catering experience (mascots, unique merch, letters, singing along), his show is variable (ballads, rap, jazz-medleys, rock - something for laughs, something for tearing up), he is very good at managing venues of all sizes (MC + duets on SMTowns experience), VCRs+stage effects are on point, a live band, live vocals without a break. He is ready to appeal to non-core fans, someone who has just discovered him (many did with LL) or came to the concert out of curiousity/because they had time (like those granpas in Japan).

Heh, Do even has a concert director in his pocket (Donghwan).

Most importantly, Doyoung is himself an idea-bank. He won't depend on an outside producer, he will gather the experts he needs to help him develop his own vision. Which means he will develop and offer listeners new books and new experience (like with DYTrack upgrade).

Yes, Doyoung still has areas to improve on (like I said before about body language), but these things are minor, most fans won't notice. And Do will overcome these imperfections naturally with experience. Notably, he improved his singing even in the span of this half a year (since the first concert).

When "Frosty" was announced, Do trended right away and many minor media channels copy-pasted the news. Doyoung is already on the list of clickbait artists in SK, heh.

Can anyone give me any artists that you think I would like but are underrated or too good? Thanks! would appreciate it. Genres are also okay too, just no gospel, country, classical, and world music. This also goes for artists that are in this genre too.

[sweetescapeartist]

I liked J-Rap, K-Rap, & K-Pop when I was a teen because it was like the music I grew up listening to from the 90's & early 2000's. Groups of guys who sing & dance with hip-hop style? Groups of girls who sing and dance with hip-hop style? 1 or 2 members of the group rap while the others sing in a R&B style?

K-Pop is so popular now because it's doing what was good back then, but in a different language & a few additions from another culture. Meanwhile, modern rap & hip-hop ain't like it used to be because the artists do whatever the corporations tell them to do and they lean more towards gangster rap like the companies tell them to do. Artists back then had different styles & sang about a lot of different things. Now they are all mostly the same. Killing, drugs, sex. And that is by design by these music corporations. They are trying to influence certain ppl to behave that way, but their target audience aren't their biggest consumers. These corporations also don't want artists to own their own music & will kill those who almost get their masters (Whitney Houston). But I won't go down that rabbit hole. Cause there is a lot of craziness.

K-Pop also reminds me of 80's City Pop from Japan. I love City Pop! But I also noticed that it was inspired by music from the 70's in the US. So other places see the talent of a certain time period, take that style, & add their own flare to it.

And then there is also a thing I noticed about K-Pop guys. Why do they look the way they do? Most if not all are inspired by the King of Pop; Michael Jackson.

So, K-Pop has inspiration from Michael Jackson & hip-hop/R&B/Rap groups from the 90's & 2000's. That is why they are so popular. They are heavily inspired by the best, but they add their own flare to it.

Is that cultural appropriation? Some may say so, but I am slow to state such. Why? Well is modern country music cultural appropriation? Is older country music cultural appropriation? Is rock music cultural appropriation? If you know the history of those genres & you still do not consider those to be cultural appropriation... then can K-Pop be cultural appropriation? And how can something be cultural appropriation when the people who created it were convinced to deny it and do something else? You cant appropriate from a people who no longer associate themselves as a whole with something. And if you have more financial power and sway over the music industry, you can take from a culture or even promote something else as a ppl's culture and fool those same ppl into believing such. Just like with rock & country music, black people in America have begun to abandon hip-hop & concious rap in favor of the easily profitable and corporation controlled gangster rap. And because we either left it or couldn't keep ownership of what we created due to society at different stages, others will and can make a profit by copying our style. Think about how ppl shave the sides of their heads, get nose rings, & gauges in their ears. Years ago, that was made fun of & looked at negatively when ppl of African, Native American, & other cultures did that for cultural reasons. Now everyone wants to resemble them because its fashionable.

Insult a ppl.

Make them hate themselves if you can.

Cause them to abandon their ways or just ignore where you've taken your inspiration from if they don't abandon their ways.

Take what you have made them disown.

Promote what you "appropriated" as your own to make profit.

You can't claim somebody appropriated something from a culture if the ppl are convinced to abandon it. Cause now it's free game.

Atmosphere - Holding My Breath

Produced by Ant, Written and performed by Slug, Cutting and scratching by Plain Ole Bill & Ant

LYRICS:

I kinda feel like a stowaway (Okay) I’m positive that it’s a negative connection I’ve got a cup full of Novocaine (Okay) Stairway to Heaven hope my name’s on the guest list (Go away) My stress gets trapped between the shoulder blades Searching for some benefits for perfect attendance Keep attention span attentive like we dance around an open flame I’ll trade a couple silver linings for some golden days I confess I’m still trying to impress papa I guess that I’m expecting I’ll see him again haha Laughing on a cloud in some wings and a toga And he’s asking why I never left Minnesota Keep in mind previously thought impossible to find All of these pieces that were needed to complete the design I’m on the final lap then I go back to give my wife a spinal tap Still writing rhymes like somebody got the time for that

The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath

Tell me do you ever feel like an accident Have you ever felt trapped beneath an avalanche Do you ever ask if this experience is seriously happening Me neither I can’t imagine it We gotta pick up the pieces and keep traveling Or maybe you can handle a hammer and build a ladder and Explore the storm to find the source of the hunger and the pain I stole a horse so I could run towards the thunder And the reins broke and now this beast is my bestie We used to chain smoke and now we drinking our veggies We tell the same jokes and pretend that it’s okay Already know what Hell felt like when it’s frozen over Snow covered roller coaster stuck in the alleyway Dreaming about the day my poster’s up in a gallery Feel the cold breeze brought me back to reality I gotta get these groceries back to my family

The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath (Okay)

And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath And I’m not suffocating I’m just

(Reminders about the blog in case there are people who are gonna complain- Okay let's go-

1. The relationship

It's confirmed on the wiki that it isn't canon that the Boyfriends and Girlfriend are in a poly relationship and are just having a friendly competition on who raps better. People are free interpret these characters however they want and that's completely alright

2. What about Pico?

While I go with Beta and Pico being ex-boyfriends in the AU's story, this blog and AU was made before the fact about Pico and MB being ex-friends (and whatever's going on with Blue) was confirmed. Also, Pico getting back together with the Boyfriends after Week 3 happened isn't canon, in the original story and the mod itself

3. Personalities and interpretations

Well, as far as I'm aware, we don't know anything about these versions or their exact personalities or the entirety of the mod as a whole, so I guess we can make up how they act just by looking at them or how we think. Plus, the Minus mod is filled with characters based on their icons made into their own character

4. The shipping

Even though there's the official ship, Boyfriend X Girlfriend in this AU, of course there are going be "those" people around who dislike the "Pico X Boyfriend" ship, even tho it's confirmed they dated before

5. Lemon Demon/Monster

So, the Minus version of Lemon Demon is canoncially named William and is Skid's dad- A Minus Lemon Demon does exist in this AU but he isn't Skid's dad (however, Lila does exist) or named William and he is in love with Senpai (yes, i'm a Lemonpai shipper-). Again, this blog was made before that fact was confirmed. Although I don't mind the ship, sorry Lavenderade fans! ^^"

6. Pump the Puppet

Minus Pump is... well, a puppet. In his idle sprite with Skid, he just looked like... an inanimate object- And I'm not entirely sure how many people interpret him, but in this AU, he is concious, but he can only move his head and face, not his body, letting Skid help him with the moving

7. Who is the eldest?

It's confirmed on the wiki that MB is the oldest Boyfriend (being 21 years old), but in this AU, Beta is the oldest (by months). Before that was stated and in the making of this blog, I assumed the Boyfriends had the same age as the original Boyfriend (being 19-20 years old)

8. Brothers or friends?

I noticed that a lot of people headcanon the Minus Boyfriends as brothers (well, they're canonically not, btw-)- In this AU, they kinda treat each other as brothers (figuratively, not biologically). If you headcanon them as brothers, that's you, but this is my own personal AU, so don't correct me, pls ÓwÒ")

(Context for the two pics here-)

(For "Fame and Misfortune", the plot is a little different but the gang is pretty much going through a tough time or is in a bad mood or something- But Boyfriend, OG Girlfriend and OG Pico come out and say the kindest words they had for them, even Shelby~ ^^)

(And for "Triple Threat" (if you can even call it that anymore lol), this focuses on the part where Thorax and Ember are bonding- Blue noticed Boyfriend skipping stones by a lake, but feeling pretty down on himself- He got a little self-concious and exhausted from fighting and rap battling bad guys and monsters almost everyday, not to mention trying to manage his own Paradox Prism back in his world since he's still learning how to be a multiverse guardian, so this whole RP is just Blue (if you want, you can add more-) comforting his OG self ÓwÒ)

(Not my best explanation but yeah-)

hihihi! it's playlist anon again if u remember me! i'm currently lost in the sauce (aka your playlists fhjsda) and because of that i forgor to reply i just went straight to listening! fgasdhjk wanted to let you know I'm having a good time! i love listening to new music while drawing and ur playlists are perfect for it! vibing with the march one rn! (also i laughed because i saw Autoheart on there and Lent had been one of the songs i had thought about recommending to you fgsdj) (also i'm so jelous of u being on metric concert it looked so cool! ;v; ) and glad you liked songs i suggested! especially Jagwar Twin, I discovered him failry recently but I'm already obsessed :D and you know, i'd love to share my playlist but- they all are called a letter of an alphabet 😭 for example, songs i told u about were on my "I" playlist fgsdk i'm always impressed with people that can come up with clever/funny playlist names, or even names for the vibes playlist goes for fgasdj i'm more of a Character-specific Playlist Maker outside of that i'm "i feel like letter E tonight" person fgsdjk but! ive been wondering, is there any genre(s) that you're not a fan of? i can listen to mostly any genre but i know that's not the case for everybody gfsdk

hi sorry life’s been crazy and i’ve been waiting until i have enough brain power to reply 😔 but uhhh “if u remember me” tsk. clicked my tongue irl at this. of course i remember you. what a silly thing to say.

I love Autoheart!! I also went to their concert last month. it was very good! most introverted crowd in history.

I don’t mind if your playlists aren’t made up the same as mine! No pressure ofc I understand if you don’t want to (you’re on anon, afterall) but I think that’s a very funny way to list your playlists and I’m down to learn the context for em! Do you only have as many playlists as there are letters? What do you do if you run out? Do you not have uhh. checks spotify —

— 121 playlists? Also don’t be self concious not all of them have fun names. I just go on vibes and sometimes the vibe is a keysmash because I can’t be bothered to give it an actual name.

I like most genres, though! I don’t listen to really hard metal and I don’t really listen to much rap, but that’s not really a consistent rule so much as. I just go on vibes and usually those aren’t the vibe. I also have a few oc playlists but my ocs dont really have any content and just exist in my head so. yknow. shrug. anyway.

what about you, anon? what are your genre preferences?
