Ley´s Release Corner Jul´22 - Boys Edition (2/3)

DISCLAIMER: This is all my personal opinion and most of the impressions are after first listening. So please keep in mind that my opinion can change and that I respect other opinions too. My rating is just based on how I like the song and has nothing to do with hate or anything else against an Artist. When I don't like a song it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work and effort that are put into it.

Masterlist

Feel free to let me know what you think of the releases and now let's dive into Kpop:

Title: Arson

Album: Jack In The Box (Album)

Artist: j-hope (BTS)

Release: 2022.07.15

youtube

I´m kinda obsessed with the MV though. The song is also very good and extremely nice to listen to it. I totally can see why this one is the title track.

The "Intro" was kinda cool though. "Pandora´s Box" was a very good track. "MORE" was pre-released at the beginning of this month (Review here). "STOP" is a solid track while "= (Equal Sign)" is very vibey with an important message. "Music Box : Reflection" is an interlude that fits the vibe of the album very well and "What if..." is one of my favorites. "Safety Zone" is very nice and "Future" is also one of my favorites

Rating: 7,5/10 for ARSON (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 8/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

Rating 7,5/10 for Jack in the Box because I liked almost all the tracks

Title: _WORLD

Album: SECTOR17 (Album)

Artist: SEVENTEEN

Release: 2022.07.18

youtube

I like the MV but sadly the song isn´t it for me. I mean it´s pretty solid but I don´t like the funky vibe in the instrumentation but the rest is so good it makes me sad I don´t like it that much. The lyrics are also very comforting and maybe this song will grow on me I´m not sure.

Since this is a Repackage I only rate the first 3 songs that are new. "Circles" is very beautiful although I´m a little bit ambivalent about the child choir. "Fallin' Flower (Korean Ver.)" is very nice to have and "CHEERS" got a pre-released MV as well which I´m kinda obsessed with. The rest you can find here.

Rating: 7,5/10 for _WORLD (Instrumental: 6,5/10; Vocals: 8/10; Rap: 7/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; Choreography: 8/10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Rating: 7,5/10 for SECTOR 17 because the songs are good but doesn´t flash me that much.

Title: SEOUL DRIFT

Album: SEOUL DRIFT (Single)

Artist: ZICO

Release: 2022.07.17

youtube

This is a pre-release (and let´s pretend I included this one first and not just because I wanted to include Freak from later this month and had to put it here because I couldn´t let it slip). I kinda like it and it seems to be stuck in my head.

Rating: 7/10 for SEOUL DRIFT (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 8/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

Title: Doom Du Doom

Album: HARMONY : ZERO IN (EP)

Artist: P1Harmony

Release: 2022.07.20

youtube

Ahhh here it is after my long waiting for this. I loved the last album so much so my expectations were a little bit too high I guess. I mean I love this and it´s definitely an earworm but it´s a little bit too repetitive at the end. But the MV and choreography I´m in love.

"Black Hole" is such a banger I´m obsessed with it. "Yes Man" is also a solid track with a nice vibe while I´m so obsessed with "Swagger" and especially with "Mirror Mirror". And lastly "Different Song For Me" hits with an emotional song that hooked me from the start.

Rating: 8/10 for Doom Du Doom (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; Choreography: 8/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 8/10)

Rating: 8/10 for HARMONY : ZERO IN because I´m still obsessed with their music but my expectations were too high

Title: Rain Day

Album: Rain Day - SM STATION: NCT LAB (Single)

Artist: NCT U

Release: 2022.07.20

youtube

I guess this is the song I like the least from the SM STATION : NCT LAB series. It´s a full English one and very soft. It´s nice to chill to but doesn´t give me much more. But I still appreciate YangYang, Taeil and Kun´s effort, especially because it´s produced by Kun.

Rating: 6,5/10 for Rain Day (Instrumental: 6/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 6,5/10)

Title: Test Me

Album: Hello World (EP)

Artist: Xdinary Heros

Release: 2022.07.20

youtube

I´m glad they kept this vibe although I liked "Happy Death Day" just a little bit more. The MV is kinda fun and I love the looks. The train scene reminds me of Day6´s "Congratulations" though.

"KNOCK DOWN" is also a very nice rock track and I think with "Sucker Punch!" I could vibe with the best. "Strawberry Cake" really surprised me somehow and lastly "Pirates" has its own charm I´m completely obsessed with.

Rating: 7,5/10 for Test Me (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

Rating: 8/10 for Hello, World! because they have nice rock tracks

Title: Hit The Bass

Album: WIN-DOW (EP)

Artist: BLITZERS

Release: 2022.07.20

youtube

As annoying the last title grew for me over time the more I love this one. The MV kinda stands out for me and they still have a noisy sound and even rock elements but somehow this really catches me. I really love the setting in the MV and overall I´m really

"SLIDE" is a solid start into the album but is kinda forgettable. "Win-Dow" has a very nice hip-hop vibe and I´m so obsessed with it so I´m really sad it´s just that short. "Love is New Gravity" is very likable while "HAPOOM" is pretty solid and lastly "Graduation" is on the emotional side and they slew with it.

Rating: 8/10 for Hit The Bass (Instrumental: 8/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography:7,5 /10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 8/10)

Rating: 7,5/10 for WIN-DOW because they have good and soid track I enjoyed a lot

Title: U&Iverse

Album: U&Iverse (Single)

Artist: ASTRO

Release: 2022.07.21

youtube

Ah yes, another Universe release and I have to admit the MV is very very beautiful and I love the aesthetic of it. The song has a little dreamy side that is captured in the MV very well.

Rating: 7,5/10 for U&Iverse (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

Title: AVIATOR

Album: YOUNI-Q (EP)

Artist: YOUNITE

Release: 2022.07.25

youtube

I´m not sure what I expected but this is a bop especially the choreo ate. They really have potential. I think the chorus might get a little bit annoying if I listen to it too much but at this moment I really like it.

"TRAVELER" is a pretty solid track while "SWISH" is also enjoyable and more on the happy side. "COME AROUND" and "I LIKE YOU" are okay but nothing special.

Rating: 7,5/10 for (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 7/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography: 8,5/10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)

Rating: 6,5/10 for YOUNI-Q because the tracks were solid but couldn´t catch me

Title: be free

Album: #undergrOund idOl 2 (Single)

Artist: KB (OnlyOneOf)

Release: 2022.07.26

youtube

This is the continuation of "begin" from YooJung which we still stan here. The song itself isn´t as good as begin because there is something bothering me in the chorus but it´s still kinda catchy.

Rating: 7/10 for be free (Instrumental: 6,5/10; Vocals: 7/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)

✨ Content Creator Year in Review ✨

i was tagged by @softhyungkyun (thank you victoria!!)

first creation of 2020:

funnily enough, my first creation wasn’t a gifset. it was this set of fallin’ flower lockscreens (lmao). i kinda like how they turned out though!! but for gifsets, my first set was my top 10 songs from the first half of 2020 (long title, i know). my first time rotoscoping gifs and using avisynth but i think they turned out great!

most recent creation of 2020:

at the time i am doing this game, it’s the Joshua CD edit :) i am proud of my CD edits HAHA i think they’re pretty and much better looking than the actual CDs that are sold (i am so not subtle)

one of your favorite creations from 2020:

this jeonghan music bank set!! i really, REALLY liked the colouring i did for this. i can never replicate it. this was my peak.

a creation you’re really proud of:

can we go back to the CD edits hmm my SPVRTS magazine edits!! i had too much fun with the captions. like way too much fun. please check it out if you have time i beg of you. i really think those edits deserved better T~T

[1] [2]

a new style you tried this year and a work that uses it:

overlapping elements! i used to avoid them for gifs but i thought “eh, let’s just try it out” and THE AMOUNT OF MATH IT TOOK KILLED ALL MY BRAIN CELLS. never again. you can see the fruits of my labour in my Home;Run set :)

a creation that took you forever:

aside from the Home;Run set above (help), my Harper’s Bazaar recolour and my HHU rotoscope post took literal days to do. don’t make the same mistakes i make on a daily basis thank you.

your creation from 2020 that received the most notes:

my 24H set!! which i’m very proud of hehe because it took a while to get everything to line up properly so i was really happy to see that it was well-received :))

a creation you think deserved more notes:

it’s literally one gif but yes, it is this Hoshi rotoscope gif. it took a lot longer than expected because his hair camouflages with the background :’)))

a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it:

uhh... the only post i made for another fandom was this Kihyun birthday set~ perhaps i should expand my horizons... i do like this new colouring method i tried though!

a creation you made that breaks your heart:

this set of Seventeen’s Prime Minister award. it breaks my heart in a good way. so proud :’))

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love:

why is ‘simple’ in quotation marks? okay this one wasn’t really simple because it took a lot of time but Seventeen’s 5th Anniversary video :’) this one can go under the previous category too~

a creation that was inspired by another one:

this mingyu w korea recolour i did was actually inspired by @joshuahong (hi bea!!) with her own rendition. i thought hers was so pretty and clean and honestly i didn’t want to colour it since she already did it but she encouraged me to do it too so i switched up the colours a lil~

a favorite creation created by someone else:

OH BOY I HAVE SO MANY (under the chey’s favs tag if you want to check it out) but my ultimate favourite is the 3-part birthday series @cutiejoshi made for my birthday (thank you siri ilysm <3)

[1] [2] [3]

Angels & Demons - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Characters: Reader

Summary: She finds herself in the middle of a unknown forest after falling asleep. It seems like a normal forest until she gets to meet a mystical creature that welcomes her in a different world.

Warnings: Monsters, Cursing, Blood

Words: 2.000+

A/N: Hey! This is my first fic and I decided to place it in the universe of the greatest of the greatest. Geralt of Rivia! I don’t know where this will go 100%, but I know it’s going to be interesting. 😄 The reader starts of in our modern world and stumbles into the universe of The Witcher. I take my information mostly from the books and games but my fic is set based of the Netflix series so it’s basically beginners friendly.☺️

Disclaimer: GIF’s and PNG’s are taken from Tumblr and are not mine! Credits to the creators!

Song:

“Two face, two face, yeah Black, white, left, right, yeah Up, down, all night, yeah Can't escape it ever Don't forget my name I don't feel the same On a trip, no train“

The music made her headphones vibrate. Probably loud enough for everyone around her to hear. If there was anyone. She was alone, hiking in the forest. It was what she always did when her anxiety got the best of her. The city is loud and dirty, squeezed full with people that never look around. Never realizing what was going on in the real world. At least what that’s what they called their reality. She always thought it was foolish to believe that they were alone in this big of a universe. Impossible.

Some stones here and there made her trip but she didn’t stop. She knew where she wanted to go and she didn’t intend to stop before she reached her destination. Kicking some branches out of the way and silently passing other hikers that greeted her with waving hand. She didn’t like the people in the city. All of them were selfish and money orientated. Of course, so tried to earn some money as a health center receptionist at her university but only to keep her head above water. Her focus was on her degree in medicine. She wanted to be able to afford a good life for her and her dad.

“And all these angels and demons Keep shoutin' and screamin' I'm fallin' from Eden”

She slowed down and let herself down on the ground. Pulling her knees to her stomach and breathing in the fresh air of the trees. The pollution caused by cars and all of these different companies laying behind her. Closing her eyes and trying not to fall asleep. Her insomnia got worse on hot summer days like these. The missing air conditioning in her dorm room made it even worse. Two hours have to be enough to function. She couldn’t wait for the autumn to start. For the leaves to fall. And the crowds to shrink

“So fuck me like a rockstar, dancing on a cop car Nothin' in the world can stop me now Fucked up like a rockstar, riding in a cop car No one in the world can help me out-“

Her music was cut short and her eyes gazed at the screen. The Battery was almost empty. With an annoyed groan, she took off her backpack searching for her power bank. The only good thing summer had for her was the power of the sun being strong enough to charge the battery of the device. Still having her headphones in her ears. Just in case someone stumbled across and wanted to have a conversation. The easiest way to ignore people without seeming too harsh.

Her glance went up, analyzing anything she was able to catch. The mountains far back on the horizon hugged by a thick layer of clouds that protected them from any unwanted attention. The distance colored them in a blueish gray tone that would capture a lot of people. At least the ones who noticed and wanted to have a peerless experience.

Some strange black orbs were able to sneak into her daydream making her once again face the consequences of her lack of sleep. Slowly blinking she took a look at her watch. 2 pm. Still early. She just wanted to close her eyes for a few more minutes. To help her find her lost energy. Just in case she set her alarm for an hour and put her phone in the pocket of her pants. - “Everybody said that I'm falling, uh Took another line, I'm calling, uh I'm so sick of the nonsense, uh I'ma dive into the mosh pit, uh I don't really think I'm the problem I don't really think it's a problem Me plus me is a problem One gunshot could solve 'em Tell my friends I'm sorry though T-T-T-Tell my sins to go. And all these angels and demons Keep shoutin' and screamin' I'm fallin' from Eden”

The tones of her favorite song woke her up. Her headphones got disconnected while she was asleep. With panic caused by the rush of adrenaline, she paused the music. Taking a deep breath and enjoying the silence again. Her arms were stretched above her head and a yawn made it through her mouth. Slowly gaining back clear vision she looked up again. But something was different. The dusk was slowly setting in.

She failed to set her alarm correctly. But it could be worse, she wasn’t doing anything special today anyway. As she was standing up she looked for the mountains in the far, however, her view was blocked. Big deciduous trees rose in front of her. Maybe she fell asleep in a different place? A little far more into the forest?

She got herself up and started walking her way back. At least what she thought was the right way. Somehow everything looked a little different. As different as forests could look like. The hiker trail was gone. Slowly breathing away her risen heartbeat she tried to focus. It’s just the forest how bad can it be? She always found her way out of it. She got lost a couple of times whilst exploring new paths but still. The air felt different. Not as heavy as she was used to. The trees were able to give her better oxygen as in the city but they just couldn’t hold all of the smog back.

Her feet automatically began to walk faster and faster as time went by and nothing seemed familiar anymore. She tried to find her starting point again but that seemed rather impossible right now. There was still a lot of light left but everything seemed strange.

She started to run. Jumping over the rocks and logs that blocked her way. As she was trying to bridge over the next log she wasn’t able to see the small lowering that led to her stumbling and rolling a couple of feet down. ‘Great, just great.’

Her thoughts were sarcastic, helping her to cope with the panic rising in her throat.

She looked up and let out a short scream. Some big bright yellow eyes were looking at her from above. They belonged to a child with pale blue skin. At least it looked like a child. She didn’t dare to move one muscle, staring at the creature in front of her.

It was barely as tall as a 9-year-old and it’s skin made it look like it was suffocating. A rough crown made out of sticks sat on top of its head. It wore some pants that had seen better days. They seemed to be made out of a cheap fabric that was ripped in several places. A green scarf was hanging from its neck.

“Hello.” It could speak. His mouth was stretched to wild smile.

“It’s been some time since an ol’ villager got lost in ma forest. That was some fall you had. Are you alright?” Still staring at the creature she tried to get her words together.

“Ehm…yes I tripped and fell. I don’t think I’m hurt. Thank you.”

“Good to hear. So what’s your name? I’m James.”

She hesitated. She didn’t even know if this creature was human. She couldn’t trust just anyone.

“Alva. My name is Alva.”

“Nice to meet you, Alva. So what did ya run away from? Thought the Drowners were after ya.” Drowners? What the fuck are Drowners?

“Yeah so. Excuse me the question but you seem rather … blue?” She was scared to ask something like this but this little creature seemed friendly.

“Oh that. Have you never seen a good ol’ Godling? Because that’s just what I am indeed.” The little boy laughed and seemed to be happy to have found some company.

“That is a Godling?”

“You never heard of us amazing Godling?”

The little blue boy explained to her that Godlings are woodland creatures dwelling in burrows and moss-covered hollow stumps on the outskirts of human settlements. They are deeply rooted in their home territory and perform acts of care and guardianship to those dwelling near their burrows. They watch over people as well as animals, but, shy creatures by nature, they try to do so while remaining unseen. Godlings are drawn to joy and innocence, and so delight in the company of children and usually only show themselves to the young.

“That’s why I am talking to ya. You seem fun. At least you look funny.” The boy started to walk around her while lifting her flannel and poking her skin.

‘He’s the one looking like a tall version of a smurf. What is he talking about?’ Her thought rushes inside of her head, making her regaining the feeling of dizziness.

“So you’re telling me you’re some kind of magical creature as in Harry Potter?” The girl tried to order her thoughts by sitting down and trying to hold on to the facts the little guy was telling her. Maybe she was in a coma? Or dreaming? Possibly. These are the only explanations she could come up with.

“I don’t know anyone called Harry Potter. Is he a friend of yours?”

“Ok, listen up. You’re probably just part of my imagination so why don’t we have some fun while it lasts?” As long as she sleeping and lucid dreaming she could at least make the best out of it.

“Yes, let’s have some fun! I love singing, I love music! I heard some strange melody coming from your direction. That’s how I found you.” James started to do some little happy jumps and clapping.

“Oh, you mean this?” Alva took her phone out of her pocket and showed it to him.

“What witchy device is that suppose to be?”

“No magic. Technology. Let me show you.” She pressed on some Icons and song from earlier continued.

“So fuck me like a rockstar, dancing on a cop car Nothin' in the world can stop me now Fucked up like a rockstar, riding in a cop car No one in the world can help me out.”

The little one danced to the music and showed off some rather random dance moves. Spinning in circles, jumping up and down and throwing his hands in the air.

Still thinking of her lucid dreaming she joined her little Godling friend. Turning the music louder and louder they enjoyed themselves.

Until a growl broke the peace of the music. But both James and Alva were to focused on having von dancing to notice some strange noises. They didn’t hear it, down to the moment when the girl got hit by something sharp, making her fall to the ground.

“Don’t stop dancing Alva, you’re no fun.” The Godling still didn’t realize that Alva was sitting on the ground covering her bleeding upper arm with her hand. Looking up she saw the scariest creature she could’ve imagined.

In front of her is standing a sickly blue or green colored human, with slime and sludge oozing out of every pore and the acrid stench of rot wafting off of it. No, that wasn’t a human.

“James! What the fuck is that?” The girl cried for help.

Finally objectifying the situation, James was hurrying towards the creature when it rose its arm for another attack.

Covering her face Alva started to realize that this is the moment she was going to die. You can’t get hurt in a dream. That is just not possible. Her arm was on fire, giving her a pain she never had felt in her entire life. This was real. Waiting for the next hit but it never came.

Slowly she opened her eyes to see only James in front of her. The monster not in sight.

“Where did he-?” Completely shocked by the situation and being unable to talk, Alva starred at the boy.

“Don’t underestimate the power of a Godling. Nothing comes between me and my forest. And since you stumbled in it you’re a part of it.” He looked down at her bleeding arm and his eyebrows furrowed.

“You need a healer. As much as I’d love to I can’t heal it.”

The words barely got to the girl. She was scared for her life. She never believed something like this could happen. But one thing she knew for sure. This wasn’t her reality.

“And all these angels and demons Keep shoutin' and screamin' I'm falling from Eden.”

My Ranking of Matenrou Songs

All done in good fun and is just my silly opinion. Music is totally subjective and what I find to like may not be what you come to like. So take everything with a handful of salt. Includes all of their album songs. I’m not including the battles as that’s probably deserving its own listing. Will throw Wrap & Rap and Lesson in there for fun too.

Overall, I think Matenrou is sort of hit or ‘eh, it’s fine’ for me. It’s either such a bop, that’s all I’m listening to for weeks. Or it’s one that I might go seek out either for researching purposes or it’s just specific mood. No real in between. And that’s probably because of the major differences in their members. It’s clear they were formed because of Jakurai’s eccentricity and fondness of it. And with any of the crews, I tend to like the team ones. I just like hearing different voices coming together. Especially when theirs is made to sound nice together. So yeah.

13) Welcome U - It just didn’t feel like a Matenrou song for me. I’m sorry! I have no idea what Matenrou songs are but this just wasn’t it for me. I just didn’t vibe with it. Which is weird considering this was the first major song of Matenrou and technically my first since I did do the anime series first. But let’s put it like this, I can literally remember every other thing of the entire episode that featured this song...besides the song. Everything. But. The. Music. Of a series where the music is the focus. That’s not good. But to be fair, I more or less like one song from each team from the anime and Welcome U was not it for Matenrou.

12) Papillon - Mmm, I dunno. I like the song in theory since it is very much them just kicking back and that’s cute. In practice? I don’t know how it didn’t click for me. I don’t think it was because of the talking because that was done in Ohayo Ikebukuro and I like that one. And I do find it fun as it absolutely sounds like them talking in the car. Maybe it’s just which styles blended together? I really can’t place why I do not like this one as much. Don’t hate it, don’t love it.

11) Champagne Gold - I know! I know! I don’t know how we came to this considering I like Hifumi over Jakurai. But I just couldn’t get into this one! Maybe it was at a disadvantage because it was such a stark contrast with the others on the album. I have no idea. I do know I was a little put off by call back since it really just sounded like him in a higher pitch...which is fine but I’m pretty sure they just used a girl’s voice in an earlier part of the song and I just don’t get why didn’t use something like that for the call back. And too many champagnes. I am concerned for your liver, Hifumi.

10) The Champion - Poor frickin’ Hifumi. I’m sure he had to despair when he was looking through the verses of his teammates. Like do you guys know how to write a victory song??? Which is a shame because Hifumi’s verse and style was so suited for this sound. I honestly I don’t think it was the the verses so much as the chorus though? I know their voices generally sound deeper than most of the other divisions but felt like worked against them in this song.

9) Lesson - And I think this is the last of my ‘I probably wouldn’t look it up too often’ songs on this list. I honestly thought Ramuda took the show in this one but I mean it kinda makes sense since this was him teaching Jakurai and of course Jakurai is gonna sound clumsier than him. I find this one really cute. It also was fun listening to how the beat switched up for every lesson. I think it’s only lower because I don’t have a way to listen to it consistently. But I do think of Jakurai actually ‘putting up his white flag’ to Ramuda and Ramuda able to point out Jakurai’s strengths was also super cute and also super sad thinking about what came after this.

8) Party wo Tomenaide and You Are, Therefore I Am - Yes, I had a tie. Mainly because they have the same reasoning for being here. And that’s that they both have tripped me into their arms and not let me go. I wasn’t too into them before but both of them have grown on me. Ah, I think Party wo Tomenaide’s lyrics just ends up attacking my feels and it’s one of those pop songs that are actually sad and I don’t know, somehow that’s a subset of my music tastes. Meanwhile I wasn’t into the ‘being taken to church’ songs that are usual in hip-hop genre but I was really surprised by the content of the lyrics and it honestly sounds like Jakurai’s happy in this one.

7) Fallin’ - This may have a slight edge just because I just think of that entire frickin’ episode when I listen to that song. And I dunno, anyone else feel like this was like them testing out if Matenrou could do the pace for what would be Tomoshibi? That’s what I feel like with that one.

6) Labyrinth Wall - I feel like not a lot of people like this song. And I mean, I guess if I had think about the lyrics for a long time, I probably would be like ‘you okay over there Jakurai?’ But I dunno, the pace and the off-vocals? Banger. That swell into his chorus? Absolutely fucking great. Naaa...! Shindara doko ni--I chose this over frickin’ Tigridia for my ringtone for that part.

5) Tigridia - I originally had loved Tigridia first and that’s mainly because it was the first song I was listening to that used Doppo’s ‘natural’ voice all the way through. He has a nice voice! The sax is hella sexy in the background. Nice little bit of jazz. I’m surprised this wasn’t my friend’s favorite track tbh. But it eventually got beat out as my knowledge of hypmic grew.

4) Wrap & Rap - Look. Look you can judge me all you want but this is one of those songs that could be played while I’m at some of my worst and I can’t help but smile at it. It’s my Sugar Song and Bitter Step. It’s a dose of seretonin and has to be parsed out because I have to go looking for this song if I wanna listen to it.

3) Black or White - Yeah yeah, go ahead. Be unsurprised that my fave is at the top of the solos. But to be fair, I fell in love with Doppo’s verses and songs before I fell for him. Black and white ended up a hit for me with its vibe (although I admit I found a cover first and only realized when I going back through songs). When I learned the lyrics, I can’t help but smile and feel those words in my bones of miserable workdom. It makes my terrible shifts bearable.

2) Tomoshibi - I get so emotional over this song still. And it’s just. So. Vulnerable. I don’t know how to describe the feeling I get of actually thinking about the lyrics. And then just the music itself. It’s like a drive in the evening or early morning as it starts raining (I actually do often listen to this song on my morning drives). I’m never gonna stop getting got by the interjections of their teammates within their verses and how their tone changes after being picked up by that person. I can’t even with that--! It isn’t so slow it’s ballad-y but it’s not a dance thing. Which may be why it is just below my number 1.

1) Shinjuku Style ~ Don’t Make Us Laugh ~ - If it hasn’t occurred to y’all by now, I’m a being in love with vibe of let’s fuck shit up and being a bad bitch. And that’s all I got from this song. Like how no one heard this song and didn’t go for the throat with these bastards is anyone’s guess. Especially since that Hifumi’s best diss verse and he chose VIOLENCE. And they just? Had such strong boss energy??? I don’t know how to put it! I love the mania of Doppo’s verse and also I continually laugh because he and Jakurai literally call Doppo and Hifumi some psychopaths. Like you wouldn’t think that dealing with them. Then you meet them on the battleground and you know it’s not an idle threat. This is one of those songs that if I had to get pulled over, let it be while I’m peeling down the highway to this.

thank you @chillingkoo for tagging me, i’ve missed you my darling and i hope you’ve been doing well!

first creation and most recent creation of 2020: so the first thing i created this year was posted in june (it’s been a rough year man) and idk if it was this palette from wayv’s turn back time or it’s still summer for bts. i never even posted this thing on tumblr omg, who am i? most recent was actually today, and it’s this moodboard for my wip the love we endure.

one of your favorite creations from 2020: probably this wonwoo moodboard for my future dream thieves series, i just like the coloring for this one and the images i used. i’m a huge h*e for dark academia these days.

a creation you’re really proud of: this gfx that isn’t even that complicated or intricate, but i love it so much. i tried to keep it really simple and i looked at a bunch of references because i wanted to do it right. it’s nothing special, but it’s special to me.

a creation that took you forever: probably my fallin flower set of palettes, mostly this one and this one. the first one because i was desperately trying to get separate scenes with soonyoung and minghao but the color schemes were too similar so i ended up using them in a scene together. for the second i just couldn’t get seokmin’s to look good because of all the dark coloring and seungkwan’s was so short it seemed out of place. i settled with what i could, screamed about it for a day or two.

a creation from 2020 that received the most notes: this palette from snapshoot! my snapshoot palettes got the most notes of anything this year, over 100! i loved that goofy little video so much ; ;

a creation you think deserved more notes: hahaha, this one makes me sad so i’m going to pass.

a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it: i haven’t really joined any new fandoms this year, i’ve been super into nct though. i’ve created a little for them in the past, but this year i started making more for wayv! i love this palette from moonwalk, the colors were really pretty!

a creation you made that breaks your heart: surprisingly nothing. i haven’t published anything new this year besides the one bts fic, the angst queen hasn’t made her return quite yet.

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love: this moodboard was really pleasing to make, nothing crazy, again, but i was on a roll!

a creation that was inspired by another one: unfortunately--none. i didn’t really create this year.

a favorite creation created by someone else: it’s gotta be this gfx set right here by @itsazbitch, fallin flower is my favorite song of the year (besides maybe 24h) and this set is so beautiful.

some of your favorite content creators from the year: @soonhoonsol, @dreamystuffers, @luvhannie, @ajusnice, i wish i could name more but i was so inactive this year!

and for good measure, another couple more creations of yours that you love: here’s some old stuff, but it’s what i love

every scar tells a story, this one is about you | spin that record, baby | close proximity

tagging: anyone already mentioned in this, plus anyone who really wants to! have fun with it!

#tag game #i was really excited to do this then i #realized i created nothing #so now i'm sad

A couple of you have asked for it, and Part II of my Bellarke fanfic rec is finally here!

This is suuuuuuper late considering I promised it a while ago, but I blame moving to a new house, teaching a new course, and getting sick at least twice in one month. What can ya do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These fics are in no particular order because one) I don’t have any particular favorites and two) I ain’t got time for that. I hope y’all enjoy!

P.S. If y’all missed the first part of my fanfic rec, you can find it here!

P.P.S. This is my disclaimer that I obviously haven’t included all the Bellarke fics out there. If you have a favorite that I did not include, I probably haven’t read it yet, in which case, please share!

a castle in the clouds by @pawprinterfanfic Star Wars AU. Bellamy is Han. Clarke is Leia. Oh and did I mention that there’s some fake dating? That doesn’t normally do it for me, but I can make an exception this time. *kisses fingertips*

We’ll Paint the Town Blue by @animmortalist

Clarke wants to ruin her reputation in this College AU and who better to do it than resident heartbreaker Bellamy Blake? They enter a friends with benefits/Bonnie and Clyde arrangement (it works I swear), but oops, they like like each other.

(clumsy) ‘cause I’m fallin’ in love by skai_heda

Sometimes you just need a cute little S1 AU where Bellamy faints and Clarke gives him a hard time for it. Oh, and feelings.

small dot among infinite stars by @kindclaws

This is a really interesting take on how one change can drastically affect future events. It’s a S2+ AU where Dante shoots Cage and Clarke doesn’t irradiate Mount Weather, but the end of the world still comes.

someone let the poets out by @kindclaws (WIP)

This one’s hella meta and I love it. Even though it’s based on the GoT cast, I could totally see it also applying to the 100 cast given how S7 may or may not go. Fingers crossed for a decent ending. Anyway, Bellarke and co. are the stars of a popular show in its final season, and they are horrified by what Jaha comes up with story-wise. (Think those final GoT table reads. C’mon, we’ve all seen the footage of Conleth tossing his script aside when Varys is killed off). So they decide to recreate their own low-budget version of the final season. And Bellamy may or not be having a crisis regarding his feelings for a certain blonde co-star. OH! And how could I forget the social media tie-ins? Brilliant. Definitely read this one on a desktop to get the full experience.

how I learned to stop worrying and love the apocalypse by @kindclaws

Another kindclaws fic. I’m sorry but the writing is just so good. I can’t help but include them. This one’s a Praimfaya AU fic and also an exes fic and also a time loop fic and also an angst fic and I love it so much. I personally recommend the 2nd person POV version (chapter 1), but if 3rd person is more your jam, then just read chapter 2!

An Evening I Will Not Forget by @octannibal-blake

Bellamy is a soldier who has a “one night stand” with Clarke the night before he’s deployed, but these losers can’t have a one night stand to save their lives, so of course there’s emotion involved. I’m a sucker for military AUs, so of course I liked this one.

i would give my life just to hold your hand (i’m your number one fan) by @captaindaddykru

Bellamy’s an actor. Clarke’s a singer. He likes some of her photos on Twitter. She slides into his DMs. It’s the start of a beautiful friendship love story. These idiots I swear. I’m actually surprised this is the first safeandsound13 fic I’ve listed on here considering the first part of my other fic rec was basically a love letter to her Hunger Games AU series. That, and I’m subscribed to her as an author. Seriously. Go read everything she writes.

so i sing a song of love by @hiddenpolkadots

Clarke gets pregnant and Bellamy’s the father, but they’re not together. Oops. They figure it out.

It’s All Coming Back by @johnmurphysass

Clarke receives an invitation to Octavia’s wedding, but the problem is that she hasn’t seen Bellamy or Octavia in over 5 years. And Clarke and Bellamy are both hiding secrets. Y’all. This one was emotional af. But so good. I will say, heed Tricia’s author tags and warnings. Just in case.

a beam in darkness: let it grow. by starsonfire

I’m not sure if this user has a tumblr, so I just linked their ao3 profile. This is a S6 Finale AU where Clarke gives up and Bellamy helps her. Again, heed the warnings just in case. But it’s really good.

like you mean it (like it’s splitting you in two) by @talistheintrovert

Talis lets them sleep. She lets tHEM SLEEP. That’s all you need to know.

as moonlight through the pines by @hiddenpolkadots

Clarke and Bellamy get matching tattoos while drunk and now all the Grounders think they’re married. Heh. Sign me up.

guess it’s never really over by @captaindaddykru

Bellarke + exes + Bellarke kid + Bellarke trying for another kid + angst + fluff = Bingo for Lindsay. Looking back at it, I think it was written for Bellarke Bingo. An ACTUAL bingo fic. So basically this just means you really need to read it.

All tomorrow’s parties. by @robotmango

This is a really cool take on a Praimfaya AU. Bellamy is for intents and purposes the Time Traveler’s Husband. I LOVED this one.

Kiss It Better by delinquents

This is a really cute S1 AU with forehead kisses. Forehead kisses! It’s the only work by the author, but I hope they write more.

speedin’ into a new sunrise by @carrieeve

Clarke participates in a night of speed dating and ends up reuniting with an old college friend slash huge what if. It’s super cute and fluffy and totally the type of fic needed to break up an angst session. I love angst like nobody’s business, but sometimes you just need something happy.

everything will bring a chain of love by @lost-n-stereo

Another cute fic but this time with Bellarke as parents! These are short little fills combined into a one shot, and they’re just perfect. I love it.

A Safe Place to Land by @octannibal-blake

Bellarke as parents but the Angst™ version. Basically Marper dies and Bellarke take care of Jordan. It’s sad but so good, I promise.

Still Yours by @arysafics

Bellamy and Clarke agree to be friends after they break up. Angst ensues. Being friends with your ex is hard y’all. I promise it has a happy ending.

when it all comes together by soundtracktomysoul

Jasper wants Bellarke together and creates a group chat that includes all the delinquents. Plotting and shenanigans ensue. This one was super fun, and in going back to it, I discovered that this author also has a Bellarke Rock Band AU. Haven’t read it yet but definitely going to check it out!

gone til november, on my city come december by @jamesstruttingpotter

Bellarke are cops and Bellamy goes undercover. Angst. Pining. Gah, I love it.

we’re never done with killing time by @bestivals

The angst. The angst. This is a post-s5 AU fic where they’re onboard the Eligius ship but didn’t go into cryo. Bellamy and Clarke have a series of 48 conversations and we get what they were supposed to do which is TALK.

I think I’m going to call it for now. I hope you enjoy all these wonderful fanfics! And if you have additional favorites, please share!

Handwritten: Never Be Alone, Something Big, This Is What It Takes // Illuminate: Ruin, Roses // SM3: Fallin All In You, Why // Unreleased: Cold in California, Satisfied

Never Be Alone - How do you spend your days off when you have nothing to do?

i hate sitting still for too long so i tend to be doing a lot when i have free days. usually it’s things i enjoy like writing, reading or sitting outside in the sun, and some self care like watching shows that make me feel good or going on a walk and listening to music which probably leads to a dance party. really just try to make everyday full of fun and when i have nothing to do, i find something to keep me busy haha!

Something Big - Top 3 favorite songs at the moment?

the 1 by taylor swift (SO good), ribs by lorde (going through the usual rediscovery of her music) and mariposa by peach tree rascals (thanks for that one tiktok)

This Is What It Takes - How do you take your coffee? Or tea? Both?

it really depends where i’m getting it from! i only drink iced coffee so from starbucks it’s always vanilla sweetened and at dunkin, it’s blueberry with milk and sugar. i LOVE love love tea so iced or hot, i’ll try any flavor and usually always have it sweetened except for when i make it at home which is when i sometimes don’t put anything in it.

Ruin - Name a feeling or a smell or a place that makes a specific person cross your mind.

okay so there’s this boy, who i swear was my first real love, and i can’t explain how it feels but there will be moment that’s unfolding and i’m experiencing usually full of happiness that will make me think “oh wow, this is something he would really like and i can’t wait to tell him”. it happens every so often but that happiness is always connected to him in some way even now

Roses - Do you have any plants or flowers in your room/house?

yes! i’m such a proud plant mom! inside, i have my little cactus (which i grew from a seed and is a real cactus now!) and my spider plant that one of my cats unfortunately ate ALL of, but don’t worry, it’s growing back. and outside, i always plant and grow lillies in the spring and my bunches of sunflowers which just bloomed this week actually!

Fallin’ All In You - Sunrise or sunset? Summer or winter? Mid-afternoon naps alone or with a person you care about?

too hard to choose so both sunrise and sunset. summer. and mid-afternoon naps with a person i care about if i ever have boy to cuddle lol

Why - Why is your favorite emoji your favorite emoji? Show us your favorite emoji!

another emoji i love is the 💛! it reminds me of sunshine and when i’m happy, the yellow heart looks how my heart feels so it makes me all warm seeing it and the color yellow is my favorite so!

Cold In California - What is one of Shawn’s songs that you think has been paid dust and deserves better?

IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU DESERVED THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD AND WAS TOTALLY OVERLOOKED WHICH STILL MAKES ME MAD. YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE (i’m extremely passionate about this one, iichy was paid DUST)

also, even though a lot of people don’t like it apparently??, youth!! the message is so so important and with the moving music video paired wifh the song, it wasn’t given the recognition it deserved! plus that song means a lot to me

Satisfied - Is there an ending to a book/film/tv show that left you unsatisfied

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER!! i spent a whole year watching this show (yes it took me that long to watch the whole series, don’t ask me why) and the ending?? was the absolute worst?? i couldn’t believe after NINE SEASONS, the writers thought ending it like that was a good idea. still furious about it to this day.

there have been a few books that have left me the same way but most recently the one that comes to mind is the last book in the red queen series. i remember screaming at @lights-on-mendes because of that ending, even though i got closure with the later companion book, but ohmygod. that ending left me hanging and i did not like it one bit

SM album asks

#asks #ask bre #SM album ask game #my lovely friends #k!!#these were good ones!

Have you ever read the Hunger Games series? Yep and watched all the movies. I was really into it at the time. When was the last time you ran into something? Hmm. I don’t recall. Do you enjoy dressing up? Nah. Do you live in the city or a rural area? I live in the city. Would you say you have a sense of style? My sense of style consists of mostly graphic tees and leggings, but also some Adidas clothes. And shoes.

What’s your biggest fear? This question comes up all the damn time. Have you ever been bitten by a wild animal? Nooo. Are you close to any of your cousins? Aww, I used to be close to a few of my cousins. Not anymore, though. :( That’s all my fault. I became really distant and withdrawn from friends and even family outside of my immediate family. Have you ever been lost in the woods? No, thankfully. Where did you last travel? Disneyland back in February. Do you enjoy driving? I don’t drive. What song did you last listen to? I mentioned this in a previous survey already, but I’ve had Savage by Megan the Stallion stuck in my head because of TikTok. If you have a job, how often do you work? I don’t have a job. What time do you normally go to sleep at night? For the past month I’ve been going to bed after 6AM. :X Do you watch a lot of movies? Hmm. Not a lot, no. I watch more TV shows. Do you like Tom Petty? ”Now I’m freeeeeee Free fallin’.” Would you rather have snow or rain? I love rainy days. It doesn’t snow here, but I wish it did. Do you own a lot of sweaters? I own a lot of sweatshirts. Have you ever tried rock-climbing? Well, no. For obvious reasons. Ever ridden in a police car? Nope. Favorite decade of music? That’s tough cause I like music that spans across decades, but I think the 90s and early 2000′s will hold a special spot. Have any of your best friends been your best friend longer than a year? My longest was my best friend of 15 years. Ever witnessed a murder? Noooo. Does your room have a ceiling fan? Yep. Have you ever tried blogging? Before Tumblr I had Xanga for a long time. Favorite television channel? E!, MTV, The Hallmark Channel, TeenNick, TVLand, and the ID Channel. Have you ever lied under oath? I’ve never had to be under oath. What are your religious views? I’m a Christian. When did you last change your bed sheets? A week ago. Would you consider yourself a flirt? No. At what age do you plan to be married? I don’t plan on getting married.

I failed one math course in community college and had to retake it again. I ended up doing a lot better the 2nd time. I honestly believe it’s because I had a better teacher.

Favorite fast food restaurant? I’m not into fast food anymore like I used to be. I was a fast food junkie before. The only takeout I’m into is Wingstop.

Something in the microwave once, something in the oven once, the tips of my hair.... What would you consider your biggest flaw? Oh boy where to start. What do you think your best quality is? I don’t know. Do you enjoy listening to others’ problems? I used to be the person people came to if they needed advice or just someone to talk to and I was good at it. I liked being there and helping any way I could. People told me they felt comfortable talking to me and I was easy to talk to. It could also be overwhelming and draining at times. Especially leading up to when I fell into a really low, dark place a few years ago. I couldn’t be that person anymore. I wasn’t in a good headspace. I pushed everyone away and became very distant and withdrawn. That was 4 years ago and I’m still out of that place. :/

My family and I share some musical interests. What are you most looking forward to?

Starbucks Doubleshot energy drink. Do you ever prefer to be alone? Yeah, I need to have some alone time. Have you ever had a deadly animal as a pet? No. Favorite Disney movie?

No.

Who were you named after? No one in particular. Do you plan on traveling this spring or summer? No, we’re still going to be dealing with all this. :/ Do you know anyone who is colorblind? Nope.

I have enough to pay my bills and a little extra for other stuff, so I’m grateful for that. Who is your favorite actor / actress? Alexander Skarsgard. Are your nails painted? Nope. Do you ever accidentally talk to inanimate objects? Not accidentally, but I talk to inanimate objects when they don’t cooperate. More like talk shit, but haha.

If you could, would you have a pen pal? I did in 3rd grade. It was fun. We even got to meet them toward the end of the year during a field trip. I wouldn’t want one now, though.

Anniversary gift

A/n: here is the 3rd and final part to my little husband!Shawn series.

Summary: it's been 4 years since the wedding and Shawn wants to make the day special.

***

“Okay, pumpkin, I’m heading out. I’ll be at the studio until five. I made us reservations for seven. I’ll come home, get dressed, we’ll leave no later than six thirty. That sound good?” he asks, shoving his phone in his front pocket.

I nod, “Sounds perfect, baby. Have fun at the studio. Write a song about me.”

He laughs, his palm finding my waist and pulling me into his side. “I write every song about you,” Shawn leans down and presses a quick kiss on my lips. “I love you.”

“Love you more,” I say with a hum when he pulls away.

“Not possible,” he pats my hip twice before crossing the room. “Oh, and one more thing,” he says when he’s almost out the bedroom.

“What’s that my love?” I turn my head in his direction.

“Happy anniversary,” he smiles cheekily and I think I fall in love with him all over again.

I smile lovingly at my husband who is far too cute for his own good. “Happy anniversary. Now, go. You’re gonna be late. Call me if you need anything.”

“I know, I know.” He holds loosely onto the door frame. “Are you going into the store today?”

“Yeah, for a little while. Gotta overlook a new shipment. I’ll be there sometime this afternoon.”

He nods, “Text me when you leave, eh?”

I roll my eyes playfully, “Yes, dear.”

Heading to the store now.

Bubba 💞

Thank you. Be careful lovie.

I shake my head at the cute nickname his mom gave me the first time I met her. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost eight years since then.

Fifteen minutes later, I walk into my store and am instantly greeted by one of my employees working the front. “Good afternoon, y/n.”

“Hi, Alex. How was your morning?”

“Good, thanks. Busy. How was yours?”

I hum, “Blissful.”

“Oh,” he snaps his fingers, “before I forget, something came for you about five minutes ago. I put it in your office.”

“Thanks.” I make my way to the back of the store when my office is. My face lights up when I see the bouquet of cherry blossoms sitting on my desk. I make my way over to them, finding a card sticking out the side.

Happy anniversary to my wonderful wife! Every single day with you is like a dream. I love you so much and I’ll see you tonight. - Shawn

I place my hand over my heart and sigh contently at his scribbly handwriting. “He’s the cutest,” I say to myself and text him a quick thank you.

I’m sitting down, admiring my flowers when my phone rings.

"Hello, husband."

“Hello, wife. I assume you got your flowers.”

“I did,” I nod even though he can’t see me. “They’re beautiful, thank you.” I stare at the blown up picture of us on the wall next to me. Our foreheads are pressed against one another and my hands are grasping at his cheeks. You can see my all too prominent diamond ring and I hum at the memory of when that was taken. It was our first wedding anniversary and he was on tour, flew me out to see him for the week - in my hometown. He took my out to dinner and then we met with some of the guys at a bar near the hotel. They were playing a few country songs, and nothin' like you by Dan and Shay came on. Shawn instantly brought me to the dance floor and we swayed pathetically to the beat. (Because he remembered how much I loved that song when they had opened for him on his previous tour. And it soon became our song.)

"Y/n?"

I hum, "Sorry. I was just thinking."

"About me?"

"Always about you."

He chuckles, "I love you, darling."

"I love you too, rockstar."

---

"Dinner was amazing, Shawn. Thank you for bringing me out."

"Of course, y/n/n." He brings me closer to his side. "You up for a little drive?"

"I'm up for anything," I confirm.

He leans down and kisses my lips softly, "Let's go." Shawn played his music softly in the car while he drove us to an unknown destination. I held his hand in my lap and brought it to my lips to press a feather like kiss to his swallow tattoo.

"Where are we going, bub?"

"You'll see."

I nod and close my eyes, smiling when fallin' all in you filled the car speakers. He reaches forward to turn it up when he sees me blissing out completely. It's my favorite song and he knows it. Well, he knows that every song of his is my favorite, it all just depends on the day. But this one is it every day.

We pull up to the park he took me to on our first picnic date about six years ago. To this day, that is my favorite date he's taken me on. We'd been together for just over a year at that point and we were talking about god knows what in his condo with a bunch of the guys. One of them brought up worst first dates or best or something or another, I can't remember exactly. But I let it slip that I'd never been on a picnic, but I'd always wanted to. Next day, there we are with a big blanket and basket full of food, sitting beneath the large willow tree in the center of the park, eating chocolate covered strawberries that he no doubt had Aaliyah make.

"What are we doing here?" I ask as he walks us to that tree again, which has now become our spot.

He lets out a deep breath and turns to face md, taking both of my hands. "Y/n."

"Me," I say jokingly.

He smiles and brings my hands up to his lips. "You know I love you, right?"

"Well I would hope so. We've been married four years."

Shawn shakes his head, a smile still on his face. "I want to do this right, this time."

"Do what right?"

"Four years go, I called you up late at night and I said that we should get married. That I was tired of waiting. I just wanted to be with you right then and there."

I nod, "I remember."

"I proposed to you over the phone and I didn't even have a ring to give you. And you married me in a courthouse on a Saturday because you had midterms starting Monday. So we didn't get a honeymoon either."

I shrug, "But I got you… why are you making this sound so sad, bubs?"

"No, I'm not trying to. I'm so glad I married you when I did. But you deserve that big wedding that every girl dreams of having. With the large dress and the flowers and bridesmaids. You deserve to have all that and I know you said when we were at the courthouse that it didn't matter. But it does."

"Shawn-"

He gets down on one knee and let's go of my hands briefly to reach into his shirt pocket. "I'm gonna do this right, y/f/n y/m/n. These past seven years have been amazing. And the past four years being married to you have been absolute bliss. But you deserve to have that big white wedding dress. So, my love, will you marry me again?"

"Oh god!" I cover my tear stained face and nod. "Yes. Yeah, I'll marry you again."

He puts the ring around my already occupied finger, but it fits perfectly against the one I had been sporting for years now. His lips connect with mine and I hum into his mouth.

"I love you," I murmur against his lips.

Kelly Clarkson's Retro, Uplifting Dream of Unity

New Post has been published on http://usnewsaggregator.com/kelly-clarksons-retro-uplifting-dream-of-unity/

Kelly Clarkson's Retro, Uplifting Dream of Unity

Hillary Clinton’s recent memoir What Happened opens with a quote: “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” It’s attributed to “Friedrich Nietzsche (and Kelly Clarkson).” When she learned of this citation, Clarkson, a Clinton supporter in the 2016 election, responded online with a “Yaaaasssss!,” a string of emojis, and a new hashtag: #philosophergoals.

Clarkson is one of many pop belters in a mutual-admiration society with the first female presidential nominee for a major party. But from some angles—or perhaps from the vantage point of Clarkson’s breakout year, 2002—it’s odd that such an entertainer would be so publicly tied with a partisan figure. The first American Idol winner once represented the belief that the nation is, well, one nation: united in Tuesday night TV viewing and an appreciation for Etta James’s “At Last,” if nothing else. Listening to her new album, Meaning of Life, raises the question of what’s changed—Clarkson and artists like her, or the country?

Related Stories

When American Idol wrapped last year, critics mourned both it and the “monoculture” it represented. Though the oft-cited notion that it attracted more votes than the presidential election is a bit of a myth, the series held the No. 1 spot in TV rankings for more years than any other show in history. A Texan and former waitress with a big voice, Clarkson has been branded with the assumption-laden, racially blinkered, but still-potent label of “everywoman.” She even turned out to have a bipartisan sensibility: In the years since her victory, you could find her supporting not only Clinton and Barack Obama but, in 2012, also Ron Paul.

Idol’s slowly cratering ratings over the years were attributed to viewer burnout and competition from other competitions, but also the general atomization of the viewing public in the age of infinite content. With YouTube and Netflix and presidential tweets competing for attention, it’ll be rare to see any non-sports program again reach the 38.1 million people that the Season 2 finale did. As time went on, the show revealed a preference for southern and male performers, and surveys found that American Idol’s viewership skewed Republican.

Clarkson’s 15-year career has been defined both by monster hits and by a public struggle with the media-manipulation industry that Idol represented. She chafed under the direction of the record exec Clive Davis. She swore off Dr. Luke, the hitmaker and accused abuser. She fired back at body-shamers on social media. And she now isn’t mincing words about reaching the end of the record contract she signed with RCA through Idol. Meaning of Life, being released on Atlantic Records, she has said, represents the conclusion of an “arranged marriage.”

The most obvious way to read her narrative—as she has presented it, time and again in song—is as one of resilience and individuality. Who can’t relate? But through other lenses, you see a feminist struggle. You see a fight against corporate control. You see a battle against bullies. You see a mascot for decency. Is that unifying in 2017?

***

Meaning of Life’s final song, “Go High,” lifts from Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention for its chorus: “when you go low / I go high.” It’s the only news-referencing moment on the album, and the sound of the song is also the album’s most au courant. Over a door-rattling electronic bass pulse and dreamy finger snaps, the chorus sees vocal manipulation stretching the word “high” past the upper edges of Clarkson’s considerable range, as if she’s huffing helium. Clarkson wields the former First Lady’s slogan as neutrally as possible, singing only of being strong, taking the high road, and standing for something. Which is a familiar pop maneuver: See Fifth Harmony’s recent album closer, with its call to build “bridges, not walls” in a strictly inspirational sense.

The rest of Meaning of Life has Clarkson returning to the same theme that’s powered hits like “Miss Independent,” “Because of You,” “Since U Been Gone,” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” Over and over, she kisses off some power-imbalanced relationship and searches for a more satisfying connection. Often, she’s trying to coax a less-than-enthusiastic partner into doing better. “Remember not long ago you called me hysterical?” she asks on the stuttering highlight “Didn’t I.” “I finally figured us out my fire was hot enough to burn on for the both of us.”

But musically, there is a slight shift. Her eighth studio album is her first since leaving RCA, and she has said it’s the album she’s always wanted to make: one that answers the question, as she put it to The New York Times, “What if Aretha was born now and made a record today?” The majesty implied by such a comparison isn’t here, but you do hear what she and her team were going for: plinking piano and swaying horns (from Earth, Wind, & Fire themselves on two songs); electronic percussion and some structural features drawn from hip-hop; and plenty of big, dramatic bridges for Clarkson to make like she’s serenading Paula Abdul in 2002.

This retro-filtered peppiness and passion isn’t quite the profitable fad in pop lately. But it is a sound that female stars have adopted to a surprising extent lately, whether by enlisting the Dap-Kings (Kesha) or Mark Ronson (Lady Gaga). Demi Lovato’s new album is much in the vein of Meaning of Life, too, but with slightly more radio savvy. The swerve back to soul for these women comes off as both an aesthetic and ideological reply to a charts landscape ruled by heavily processed, rap-inflected male voices. For Clarkson in particular, it makes sense: “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” was always her perfect mission statement, simultaneously defiant and traditional. And nothing courts a mass adult audience like reminders of the classics.

Songs like “Whole Lotta Woman,” a Tina Turner–referencing stompalong, do verge on the edge of feeling like costume play—but Clarkson connects the revival-church sound to her biography, playing up her Texan bona fides. The outro is fascinating, mutating into a trap breakdown but with women singing that style’s “hey” rhythm like doo-wop. On the lead single “Love So Soft,” she similarly rotates between shimmy-worthy verses from the Amy Winehouse school and a robotic, pop-and-lock chorus. It’s an odd brew, and nothing sticks with the force of Clarkson’s greatest hits, but her diehards should be charmed.

Yet is there still a presumed casual listener, an American Idol arena, for Clarkson to court? Her album sales have fallen (from 1.1 million units for 2011’s Stronger to less than 300,000 for 2015’s Piece by Piece)—but that’s not at all shocking in the context of the decline of album sales in general. As much-discussed, this year’s pop charts seem newly indifferent to big female voices like hers, and the notion of an entertainer who can cross the country’s cultural divides is ever-more elusive. At a time when the president is calling on followers to boycott plays, TV networks, and professional sports for protesting him, Clarkson’s dabbling with the Democrats may be disqualifying for some. Online and in interviews, she’s made clear she’s unconcerned with alienating listeners with her opinions.

Some big-tent pop attempts from Clarkson’s contemporaries, like Katy Perry, have flopped—possibly for some of the reasons mentioned above, or possibly just because they aren’t making the caliber of music they used to. The onetime unifier Taylor Swift seems set on dividing her potential listenership into camps of friends and rivals with her barbed new material. Beyonce’s output has gotten ever-more daring and ever-more controversial. One exception is Pink, the hitmaking stalwart with a surprising amount in common with Clarkson—including in her balancing of outspoken persona with crowdpleasing songs. Her new record, Beautiful Trauma, just debuted with the highest sales numbers since the last album by Drake, who’s the exemplar of the kind of artist edging out radio-owning divas.

Clarkson hasn’t generated any big hits off her new material yet, but there’s still potential. Take the schmaltzy standout “Move You,” which calmly and methodically insists on being added to the canon of newlywed first-dance tracks. Over clean organ lines, Clarkson strings together lump-in-the-throat phrases: She wants to move you “like the first time that you listen to your favorite singer live” or “like the home that you were raised in.” In the third verse, the arrangement falls out for an acoustic-guitar interlude, and Clarkson describes “a soldier who is fallin’ as he holds his country’s flag and he fights for freedom’s callin’.” At a moment when arguments over what constitutes “respecting the troops” are newly tense, the line might read as a sop to the red states. But Clarkson’s salute, like her call to “go high,” is only politically fraught if the listener makes it so. Pop’s great dream of uplift for everyone is still alive—if anyone wants it.

102 More random questions. I wasn’t even bored I just saw some on a blog so here we go

Forgot to save the link for the post it came on, so sorry if you wanted to do this too! >^<

1. favorite season?

Hmm, spring and fall. Though I like spring more than fall

2. prettiest thing u own?

My Zelda necklace/choker, which is just some basic woven bracelet (brown with a gold Zelda emblem), but my wrists were too bony to actually wear it (it kept fallin’ over D: ) so my friend modified it to be a choker for me! It’s my favorite thing. And also, a silver pendant necklace that’s little gem-covered (fake gems, obvi) lock with a tiny key. I used to like collecting keys as a child, and often thought of myself as a lock and key when I was little, so it’s one of my favorite things as well. :3

3. do u prefer to be outside or inside?

I prefer to be outside. I was always a dirt child growing up, and I love being outside in the sun or clouds or rain, in the grass or up in trees. However, since I currently live in the city, I prefer the inside, because there’s no people. So basically: when there’s no people/it’s nature-y, outside. When there’s people/it’s a city, inside.

4. furthest ever traveled?

I went to the Bahamas for my sister’s wedding. Hoo was that quite a lot of saving, but I made it, and it was such an experience. I’m so lucky to have been able to go

5. what’s your aesthetic in 3 words?

Animal nature fandom

6 favorite gemstone?

Larimar, for sure! I don’t know that it’s technically a gemstone, but it’s a pretty rock and that’s all I care about.

7 best thing about yourself, in your opinion

Everything obvi

No no. But hmm. I guess I’d say my athletic prowess. I love moving around and going places (as in, climbing up rocks or something). And I love that I’m naturally inclined to be rather strong, flexible, and dexterous, despite the fact that I’m out of shape as hell

8 best thing about yourself, in other’s opinion

I. Hm. I’m not sure, as I haven’t asked that kind of question (despite desperately wanting to). I think my friend TH said it was great how everything could be a game for me. My other friend T said he liked that I could easily switch with being an adult and being a kid. So my childlike sense of the world, I suppose.

9 what’s your weirdest fear?

I don’t know that it’s weird or that I have a really ‘weird’ fear. I had a fear of mirrors at night, once, because I was afraid if I looked in one I’d see the Chuckie doll in the reflection. I’m incredibly creeped out by intestinal parasites, but I mean, who wouldn’t be, you know? Unless that’s your jam, that is. If it is, dang do I wish I could be u cause u got some nerve

10 weirdest dream you’ve ever had?

It started off on what would seem to be a sex dream, and then I turned away from the random dude my brain conjured up for one second for it to be replaced with my mom. And I was like. So disappointed. And she was just like “:D Hey sweetheart, what’chya doin’?” I woke up and was very annoyed.

And to be fair, this isn’t exactly a “weird” dream, but 90% of my dreams are absolutely off the wall and make no sense, so the fact that this one was mostly coherent was the weirdest thing about it tbh

11 go-to hiding place

Up a tree

12 favorite place in your house

Wherever my laptop or games are

13 earliest memory

Racing my old cat home down the hill we lived on

14 do you believe in ghosts?

Yes, but at the same time if someone told me they could see/speak to ghosts, or that there was a ghost haunting my house right now, I tell them that was bullshit. So basically I’m open to the possibility, but probably wouldn’t believe someone saying they’re supernaturally gifted XD

15 favorite sea creature?

Beluga whales, hands down. I’ve been in love with them since I was 6 years old and they’re my favorite animal period.

16 cold showers or hot baths?

Cold shower, but don’t get me wrong, hot baths are great too

17 satin or lace?

Satin is comfy, lace is sexy ;D

18 gold or silver?

Silver. I don’t understand why people like gold so much. Yellow is an alright color, and gold is basically just yellow. Silver is just so much prettier and goes with 10x more colors honestly smh

19 hoops or pearl earrings?

Pearls!

20 aesthetic song

Fireflies by Owl City

21 top 5 songs

Fireflies by Owl City

Aaaand

Not gonna lie, Fireflies is my favorite song, and the other four songs tend to change to whatever I like at the time, so I don’t really have a top 5 favorite. So here’s my favorite songs right now

Enchanted by Taylor Swift (Owl City Cover)

Louder Than Thunder by the Devil Wears Prada (I just rediscovered this song recently. It’s so fricken emotional and it makes me laugh so much. I love the instrumentals and the dude’s voice).

Violet Hill by Coldplay

Jenny by Studio Killers

Sad Machine by Porter Robinson

22 favorite time of the day?

Dawn, like literally when the sun is just barely showing in the sky and the skies and clouds are washed with pinks and blues and no one else in the world has quite woken up yet. A prerequisite to enjoying this time of day is having pulled an all-nighter, of course, because I am morning person, but not a “waking up” person. Other than that, midnight, when the moon is high and the world is quite.

Basically any time of day when everyone is clocked the fudge out and I can be alone without anyone expecting anything of me

23 favorite part of your body?

When I was little my friend told me I had a really nice collarbone, and that has been my favorite part of my body since lol

24 do you drink alcohol?

Naaah. Other than being pretty uninterested in being drunk in general, I also hate the taste of 99.9% of any alcohol. Beer is the taste I hate the least, but I still don’t like the taste. The only alcoholic drink I can say actually like the taste of was Red’s Apple Ale, and no I was sponsored to say that :P My friend coaxed me into taking and sip and I was like ‘welp, get ready for the bitterness’ and then I was like ‘that was pretty good wtf’

25 dream job from when u were a kid

Working on a TV show about animals, like Steve Irwin, or Jeff Corwin, or the Kratt brothers. It still technically is my dream job, but I will be satisfied with anything that allows me to make an improvement in the animal community

26 messy or clean?

Depends on my mood and the location. My room? Messy. My laptop icons/folders? Clean. At my friend’s house? Clean. My computer desk? Kinda messy, but with an intent to be organized.

27 tea or coffee?

Water

28 favorite book

Forest Born by Shannon Hale.

Ps read her whole series it’s called the Books of Bayern and the first one is the Goose Girl and they’re beautiful they’re literally my favorite series go read them

29 zodiac sign?

Scorpio!

30 extrovert or introvert?

Mega introvert, but I’m one of those people that’s like really shy and quiet and calm at first/if I don’t like or know you well, and then I get loud and weird and spazzy when I’m comfortable around you

31 celebrity crush?

None, actually. I’ve never had a celebrity crush. I feel like knowing their personality is kinda required to get a crush, you know? I can’t really crush based on faces alone

32 early bird or night owl?

Night Owl for sure

33 do you believe in love at first sight?

Nah, that’s infatuation man. Love only comes from understanding one another, time, and effort. You can’t actually fall in love with that person the first time you see them. Attraction at first sight, absolutely. Love? Nope

34 favorite book quote

Uhhhhh. Hm.

Honestly, I don’t think I have one. And if I do, and I’m not going to look for one right now cause I’m lazy, then it’ll probably be something dumb the character said.

35 three wishes you have

Can they be unrealistic wishes?

Shapeshifting

Speak any language

Visit the loved ones who have passed on

36 do you believe in magic?

100%

37 do you believe in soulmates?

38 zoo or aquarium?

D: I

Can I have both

If not aquariums I suppose, since I’m more likely to see my favorite animal there

39 cats or dogs?

Cats. I love puppers though! I’d just rather have cats as pets :3

40 how many languages do you speak?

Just English, though I know a few phrases in Spanish that my mom will say at me, and I hope to learn sign language one day soon!

41 how has your life changed from last year?

I’m in college now. Community college, but still

42 why do you have your name/url?

My nickname is Moon, and honestly all of my unimportant usernames are moon-related in some way

43 do you keep secrets? how well?

Super well, cause I hate gossip. The exceptions are that I may talk to my mom or best friend if it bothers me. Exception from that being if the secret-sharer explicitly asks me not to talk to those people about it

44 favorite animal

Beluga whales, white lions, sugar gliders

45 what is love to you?

A feeling/person that makes your life better overall. That the two of you will talk and support each other when things are rough, and someone that you want to be with you on your journey in life, and they want you in theirs. Close friends and romantic love are very similar to each other, to me, with a few differences of course

Anaise or Astrid for a girl

Blue! Cerulean blue, specifically

Chapstick

53 are you street smart or book smart?

Book Smart for sure. I wish I could be street smart, but I’m an awkward sausage

54 your biggest strength

I… am not sure. I don’t know what I’d consider my biggest strength. Looking at both sides of an argument, perhaps?

55 favorite sport

I hate sports because there’s too many rules. That’s annoying. I want to kick someone in the shins and not get a penalty for it

56 favorite drink?

Cactus Cooler and Shirly Temples (sans alcohol)

57 favorite winter activity

Staying the fuck inside with a fire

Where I’m from it doesn’t know, it just rains

58 last time you went abroad

My sister’s wedding, august 2016!

59 favorite dessert

Strawberry shortcake!

60 favorite artist

You know, I thought this meant song artist, but considering singer/band is right underneath, then maybe it means like art artist? I dunno man, I don’t pay attention to art much.

61 favorite singer/band

Owl City

62 favorite dancing song

Single Ladies by Beyoncé

63 favorite crying song

The Last Unicorn by America

U asked for a crying song and that’s like literally the only song that can actually make me cry for some reason

Thankfully not! I don’t have a problem with other people who wear glasses, it just seems like such a pain

65 first thing you do when you wake up

Say good morning to my old cat in heaven

66 how long do u usually sleep for?

Though my friend said 8 hours is actually too much for most people, and most people should typically get 7 hours, I’m an outlier and should not have been counted cause if I wanna wake up without feeling sleepy still for a few hours then 8 hours is the way to go

67 one thing you lost and you want back

My old teddy bear named Rose. I was kidnapped when I was younger (long story) and my brother’s old army friends pulled together money to get me a red teddy bear with a rose on the neck. It was/is my favorite stuffed animal. When my mom and I moved apartments I was being taken on vacation with my friends to her grandmother’s ranch. I put Rose in my mom’s purse for her to make sure it didn’t get thrown away or lost. She lost it though, and I never saw Rose again. I miss her very much

68 biggest fear

Losing my loved ones

69 favorite carnival ride

That ride where it spins you around and you stick to the walls

70 do u have birthmarks or scars?

I have some stretch marks on my thighs which I actually quite like the look of, and a slightly darker blotch on my lower left-side of my stomach. It’s not really noticeable at all, but you can see it just fine when I point it out

71 favorite childhood memory

Anything with my old cat Princess

72 what do u think about during a storm?

If there’s thunder, I think about how I can almost feel it rumbling in my chest. Otherwise I think about how if I didn’t have neighbors and people around to see me, I’d 100% go outside and play in the rain

73 one word to describe your life?

Downhill

74 craziest thing ever done

Mmm. When I was younger I got to go be “zookeeper for a day” and I got to pet one of the baby alligators (two of them! They’re names were Hugs and Kisses!) and see all the snakes and other animals!

75 do u have piercings or tattoos?

I do not. I had my ears pierced when I was younger, but it was so annoying to keep up with since it would always close, so I just. Let it

76 favorite flower

*googles*

Oh my goodness.

Dahlia flowers. Dahlia flowers are goregeous

(Orchids too!)

77 do u have any pets?

78 describe your style

Casual, bright colors

79 choose one thing to change about yourself

Be more sure of myself

Tragedy

82 do u prefer dark, dramatic makeup or natural makeup?

No makeup, but if I must choose, natural

83 favorite perfume

Anything cherry blossom

84 biggest fandom

Keeping in mind that, despite being apart of many fandoms, I never actually participate in anything other than the consuming of other people’s works

Undertale, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe

85 favorite YouTuber(s)

Chuggaaconroy: A+++ let’s player. He’s very detailed and thorough in his let’s play, which are basically let’s plays and walkthroughs combined. He can get loud, but he seems very sincere and his videos are a lot of fun.

Vintagebeef: A+ let’s player. He’s got a nice calm voice, he’s funny, and plays a variety games (though mostly minecraft). My favorite thing is that he doesn’t talk over cutscenes and whatnot

Cryaotic: Another great let’s player. My god I could swim in that voice. I don’t watch a lot of his videos (mostly the sprite games he plays), but when I do I fricken’ binge. His reactions are very genuine and he’s funny too

Versus (Aka AttackingTucans/Tyler Sederwall and Josh Jepson): They run a let’s play versus channel where they race each other in single player games. They’re conversation can get a little (a lot) innapropriate, but I love watching their videos

My god I have a lot of let’s players

Swoozie: A funny artist who tells a lot of stories from his personal life, usually including drawings

JaidenAnimation: I love her videos and her art style is so adorable and she’s hilarious. Another artist who tells stories using art

TheOdd1sout: Another another art-life-story-teller type youtuber. He has a tumblr that he posts comics on too and they’re great!

Anna Akana: A young lady that shares stories and thoughts from her own life, very funny and it’s obvious she puts a lot of work in her videos

Daniel Howell/danisnotonfire: A british lad that shares stories and thoughts from his own life, usually at his expense. He’s hilarious and I relate to a lot of his videos, which probably isn’t a good thing honestly like my god he has a lot of existential crisis’

Channel Awesome/Nostalgia Critic/Doug Walker: He does reviews and whatnot on mostly movies and occasionally tv shows. Mostly I like his reviews and little. I dunno, side things where he asks a question/opinion on the nature of media? But I surprisingly enjoyed his and his brother’s Gravity Falls and Steven Universe vlogs. Thinking about picking up his Avatar the Last Airbender vlogs to!

86 OTP

Kisshu and Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew. My first OTP and somehow no one has ever beat them for all these years

Shion and Nezumi from No. 6. Honestly, I did not read the whole synopsis for No. 6, so I had no idea it was even a romance, but they’re so cute together and they’re just a really nice couple to see

87 country, state where you were born

U.S.A.

88 your parent’s name

Suzanne :3 (though that’s not technically her name, it’s what everyone calls her).

89 favorite snack

Raspberries!

90 pasta or pizza

Depends on the mood

91 pen or pencil

Pencil

92 blue or black ink

Blue, but only if it’s good blue ink

93 paper books or electronic books?

Paper! Electronic books just don’t hold the same feel. I feel like I’m reading a fanfiction and I just can’t get into it as much

94 history or geography?

History! Native Americans, Mayans, and Aztecs were the only times I was ever honestly interested in history

95 pastel or neon

Pastel for day, neon for nights

97 soap or body wash

Body wash

98 conditioner, no conditioner, or 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner

Honestly only guys could use 2 in 1 shampoo/condition. And I don’t even think it’s that great for them

I have African hair, so I need conditioner man, or my hair would die

99 singing in the shower or not

I kill it in the shower

100 listen to music while bathing or silence

Usually music, but sometimes I enjoy silence

101 blow dry, towel dry, or air dry your hair

Towel/air dry. My hair gets put into braids while wet, so the water drips to the end hours after getting out (and is still wet for a few days even after it stops dripping), so it’s air-dried but there’s a towel around my neck and I sometimes squeeze/wring it out

102 morning or night showers?

If I’m allowed to pass out immediately, night showers
