#I could talk a lot about music and lyrics in this blog but I choose not to

[maganne-bonete]

Also listening to the Horse and the Infant makes me think of Laurent but I guess it's because of the whole singing abt your loved ones while being away in war, having them as one of your drive to live and fight, but still having that softness inside you. But also, he's really smart when it comes to fighting. He was still well taught under his father's house despite being illegitimate. Just without the baby killing part.

K-Pop Spotlight: DAY6

Come one, come all to a K-Pop Spotlight that is sure to dazzle and delight ’til the final curtain. This week, all eyes are on DAY6 following the release of their eighth mini-album, Fourever, and brand new title track, "Welcome to the Show." We caught up with the band to discuss their goals as they approach their 10th anniversary and their ever-growing connection to their fans through their music. Check out our full interview below!

Tracks like “Welcome to the Show,” “The Power of Love,” and “Get The Hell Out” seem to have very different themes. Can you tell us a little about how these songs relate to each other and what aspects make this album cohesive?

SUNGJIN: As we pursue the idea of being a 'band that sings every moment,' it seems like our albums, including the recent one, prioritize diversity in songs and situations rather than unity. Consequently, our albums contain various genres and narratives. However, there seems to be a commonality in most songs, depicting situations that everyone has either gone through or might experience.

Young K: First and foremost, I would say this album is a compilation of the best songs we could create. There's definitely a theme of love running through it. "Welcome to the Show," "The Power of Love," and "Get The Hell Out" all talk about the concept of love.

What goes into creating titles for DAY6 songs and albums, especially those that don’t come directly from your lyrics? Do you find it hard to condense the intentions and themes of a song into a title?

Young K: While there have been cases like that, all the songs on this album came from the lyrics. Sometimes, when choosing a title, we select the one that best describes the song—other times, we choose to give it a twist or make it more intriguing.

WONPIL: Naming songs involves a lot of deliberation. We often contemplate which title will catch the eye and capture the song's essence. Usually, we try to take it from a verse in the chorus. This can be a challenging part of the songwriting process.

Is there a creative project you’ve always wanted to work on but haven’t gotten the chance/found the time?

SUNGJIN: I'm very curious, and have a principle of "trying to experience as much as possible." There are so many things I want to try musically and personally, especially among the things I know but haven't tried yet.

DOWOON: I hope we can have a song that we can collaborate on with My Day, like a choir.

What does your work/studio setup look like? Where do you feel the most creatively inspired?

DOWOON: We try to keep the studio as tidy as possible and make it comfortable for practice sessions.

WONPIL: When working on songs, we talk a lot. We get inspiration from little conversations, joking around, sharing stories, and listening to music from various eras regardless of genre while giving opinions. We also try to build emotional connections with the songs. There’s a lot of communication going on. The songwriting process takes place in the studio of our long-time collaborator, composer Hong Jisang, with whom we've been working together since our debut.

How do you want to evolve as a musician/producer?

Young K: I want to be eagerly anticipated and awaited as an artist. Without those who wait for us, we wouldn't release or even step onto the stage. So I’m always thankful for My Day.

WONPIL: My biggest goal is to make good music for My Day and the public, so I think I'll continue to ponder. When working on songs, I pour my sincerity into them. I constantly strive to express this sincerity musically, fully capturing the emotions I want to convey. I hope to create songs that can still be listened to even after 10 or 20 years.

Design your own Tumblr blog: choose an aesthetic, a blog name, and would you be a frequent poster or lurker?

SUNGJIN: I think I’ll use it to catch up on friends' updates. For the blog name, THUMB BLUR sounds good to me. I might end up being a lurker who never posts.

DOWOON: Maybe a blog for plants? I think I'll post it like a diary.

Want more DAY6? Check out their new mini album Fourever and the music video for the title track “Welcome to the Show,” both out now!

Year-End Poll #23: 1972

[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Roberta Flack, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Don McLean, Harry Nilsson, Sammy Davis Jr., Joe Tex, Bill Withers, Mac Davis, Melanie, Wayne Newton. End description]

More information about this blog here

I mentioned in a previous poll how fast culture changed in the 1970s, and that doesn't feel like an exaggeration. This was the final year of the draft and more American troops were being taken out of Vietnam. As American troops were coming home, The Today Show aired a "while you were away" segment to go over how the culture has shifted while they were overseas. Most, if not all, of this segment was a joke, but it shows that even at the time people were aware that something was changing and it was changing fast. To paraphrase historian Rick Perlstein, they left a country where The Sound of Music was the most popular movie, and they came home to a country where the most popular movie was Last Tango in Paris.

To get back to the music, it feels wrong not to shine the spotlight on Don McLean's American Pie. For one, I probably could have used the lyrics as the blurb for one of the 60's polls and saved myself a lot of time. The lyrics themselves show this changing cultural shift as well, reflecting on how aimless this new generation felt. It's hard not to put a 2020s lens on everything. But looking back at a time that was rife with political scandals and politicians not seeming to care about the rising bodycounts affecting their citizens, I'd be lying if I said the sentiment doesn't hit home. "A generation lost in space" indeed.

However, in addition to the longest song on this poll, I also want to highlight one of the shorter ones. Specifically, Joe Tex's I Gotcha. Funk music is going to continue to grow in popularity this decade, even though the full extent of that cultural movement won't always be seen on the top of the charts. But the reason I wanted to highlight this song specifically is to use it as a prelude to what's coming next. If you listen to the song, pay attention to the chorus when the rest of the instruments drop out to put more emphasis on the percussion and how Joe Tex's rhythmic vocals play against the beat.

And for my third highlight, if the artist behind the tenth song sounds familiar, that's because the song was by Mr. Las Vegas himself. Or, if any Fallout fans follow this blog (and judging by the results on some of the 50's-60's polls, I know you're here), Mr. New Vegas. Speaking of gamers, Pong debuted this year as well.

I've rewritten this section multiple times, because I don't want to gloss over a specific moment in history, but it also feels jarring to bring it up in a poll with mostly unpolitical songs. After spending a few polls talking about how the war affected the American psyche, it feels important to reinforce that the people of Vietnam didn't have to be soldiers or reporters to see the war before their eyes instead of on a television set. 1972 also marks the year of the Christmas Bombings, one of the most horrific 12-day stretches in an already horrific war. Even though I don't go over every historic moment in these descriptions, it felt wrong not to bring this up. Even as this event would result in the general population's mistrust towards Nixon and the government growing even more rapidly, it wouldn't be enough.

Nixon no longer had to worry about reelection and it felt like the entire country was holding its breath before something major happened.

Hi you said you want to ramble, could you ramble some more about hollow ☆ wonderland i tried looking through your blog but search is. not working. so i failed to find anything at all

HEHEHEHEHH OF COURSE!!! and the reason for that is probably bc i haven’t posted very many details about them!! most of my rambles have been contained to dms with two of my friends and a currently 2.4k word doc of word and idea vomit 👍

anything posted before the most recent ask hasn’t been tagged correctly either, iirc i had a brief summary of the group a while ago though, tagged with “nightcord wxs” i think?? cause i didn’t have a name for them yet at the time. not changing it cause i’ve figured out more stuff since then so it’s sort of outdated. there’s probably a few posts lost in the marlo’s stuff tag, though that i didn’t tag properly but it’s okay those rambles are probably somewhere in my google doc.

anyway, since you didn’t rlly specify something in particular i’m probably just gonna ramble about whatever comes to mind. once again under the cut cause i can tell this is probably gonna get a bit long:

hollow ☆ wonderland is an online music group, and their videos are like kikuo style ones. but not necessarily ones like you are a useless child and aishite, more ones like and then you became the moon, welcome to the star inn, don’t look at me in that way, etc. pretty cutesy and happy sounding with a cute art style and then the lyrics tell a pretty dark story. that’s their general vibe. there’s a few songs i associate with them like judas by abuse (like i mentioned before) but i can’t confidently say it’s the kind of music they’d make. maybe that’ll change though we’ll see.

the group is composed of hoshi (tsukasa) the main lyricist, koki (emu), the artist, tako (rui) the animator and eventual co-lyricist, and kurage (nene), the composer.

they’re all silly online friends who like making music videos together and while none of them really talk about their issues pre-main story given that they’re not super close/don’t know each other super well yet, they still enjoy doing this together and care at least a little bit about each other.

i’m still figuring out how exactly the main story goes, but i’ve definitely made more progress now so HOPEFULLY i figure out a coherent story soon. i rlly do want to write a fic for them but don’t get your hopes up too much.

a few basic ideas i do have currently are some stuff like tsukasa, despite also being on his last hopes like the rest of them, is going to be the one to really encourage them all to start theater again. their sekai is a rundown theme park with lots of fireflies around, all the plushies are still there but they’re also worn down and have lots of patches and stuff on them. wonder stage has been closed down already, but it hasn’t been like torn down or replaced with a new attraction or anything. will it make a comeback? will hw be using it? we will see :)

i think the world hasn’t even started yet is still gonna be their untitled too. i’m thinking for their unit fits it’s gonna be something similar to the circus jester set cards? or at least the face paint thing. i’m absolutely giving them the face paint thing. and then there’s some other plot ideas i have but i’m not totally sure about them yet and i dunno how much sense they make on their own so i’m not gonna add them here.

uh. tsukasas name is hoshi since it means star iirc? so obviously he gets that name. koki meant something like to glitter, to shine, and i think emu would have liked that enough to choose it. and i already mentioned why rui and nenes names are what they are 👍

that is all for now. once again i’m more than happy to answer any other questions (like seriously i was so giddy and happy getting asked about them) so yknow feel free to ask. might answer a bit late cause i’m in school atm and have a lot to say but i will answer it eventually :3

[bisexualrapline]

I've seen your blog and you really do seem to love Yoongi a lot. Can I just ask, what are your favourite things about him? ☺️

i woke up to this ask so good morning friend. i’m stumped for words honestly i feel like i’ve tried many times (and failed many times) to articulate exactly how much yoongi means to me in words but choosing my favorite things about him seems like even more of an exercise that i am doomed to fail at 😭 let me just say what follows is an inconclusive list and leave it there before i spend my entire workday philosophizing about the love of my life fkskdkdk

i love how big his heart is. i could provide endless examples of him showing his big heart and i’m sure some of them will come up in points below but it should suffice to say that he thinks and cares so deeply for the people in his life, it genuinely inspires me to do the same for the people in my life

i love how much he loves bangtan. you can just tell with the way his eyes shine when he talks about/to them. the way his mouth quirks up in the slightest smile when he’s fond. the words he says about them too are always so well thought-out and almost like… savored. like he’s turned them over and over in his head and tested them on his tongue so many times. he loves those boys like i can’t imagine loving anyone

i love How he shows love. watch any bangtan content and you’ll see what i mean. in the soop when he made jihope tuna on crackers while they were playing just so he could lie next to them on the couch and be satisfied that they had a snack while they were playing games. the way that he’s been widely seen as this “cold” person has never made sense to me because from what i’ve seen of him, his door is always open to those he loves. and they know it.

i love how much he loves soft and cute things. he’s such a living conundrum of a person. i think sometimes people struggle to fit All of him inside their heads. like yes he can be big bad rapper man AND also love ballads and tangerines and puppies and fluffy cute things and to pout in selfies and wear makeup and skirts and look pretty. i just think the way he’s so comfortable walking the line and sharing different parts of himself with us is soooo like… we’re so privileged to get to see so much of him.

i love how we’ve gotten to see him grow and see his mindsets shift over time and how effusive he is about the members playing a part in that. i talk a lot about how seokjin must have influenced a lot of the ways that yoongi’s feelings about life and the world we live in have shifted over time and it genuinely does warm my heart to know how deeply he processes the things said to him by the people he loves. to affect a mindset change so much to be able to impart wisdom that could literally change someone’s life really requires that level of trust and love to believe so deeply in what someone else says to you about their feelings. idk was this a coherent point? i haven’t taken my meds yet this morning skdkskd

i love the ways in which he expresses himself. i think yoongi is one of the greatest living artists on this earth. no single other artist on earth has ever impacted me so deeply with their music and lyrics before him. leaving aside music and lyrics, even just his words are art to me. i cherish the things he shares with us because i’ve never felt so seen or understood by someone who i will likely never meet.

i will stop there because if i keep going i may start crying and never stop. hope this answered your question somewhat?? 💗

527 by Ningen Goukaku ft. Ci flower | nnd / bilibili

vocadb | producer's twitter / spotify (song not available on streaming yet)

Ningen Goukaku, a producer whose music I met about five years ago back when I tried to run a daily Vocaloid music twitter account (to disastrous results, they BTFOed me randomly) with this song, posted a new song today. They're a producer with a quite varied style, I'm willing to say they are quite experimental with the styles they choose to explore. For me, I quite like their moodier songs. For example, the song they posted for 2022 Spring Vocacolle, 厭生. It's quite good, I might make a post on it one day. Their use of discordant guitar and fuzzy vocals to create atmosphere always hits a sweet spot for me.

It's times like these I wish I was better at identifying genres! I can only talk in the abstract terms I know. But 527, the song I'm choosing to christen this music recommendation blog with, is different from the song I just mentioned earlier. It's melancholic, with a sort of effortlessness proposed by the mix of synths and guitar. The drums in the pre-chorus are unintrusive in a way that makes the fuzzy instrumentation in the chorus pop, and hit harder. It is definitely something I would cautiously label "shoegaze-like" (I am indeed a huge shoegaze fan). The lyrics are melancholic and heavy, I won't comment further on something I cannot entirely be sure of but I quite like them. Ci flower, who I have not heard much of until now, sounds quite good. Sure that the famed Cevio engine noise is quite present, but I think Ningen Goukaku's handling of them is quite divine. It has the qualities of flower I consider strong— an androgynous, boyish feminine voice that has a nice roughness to it, without the screech that many people have come to bring to it over the years. This song is the full package for me, definitely gonna be listening to it a lot in the upcoming weeks, maybe even months.

Check out the rest of Ningen Goukaku's body of work if you can!

plz don't clown on me for calling their voice "androgynous boyish feminine" that's the only way i could describe it (sob)

Hi! I know this isn't a question about any fandom, and I would understand if you didn't want to answer it, but I’ve been studying spanish for a year now, and my teacher is from Málaga, so we study european spanish. Could you recommend any spanish music groups? It would really help me improve my listening and also for translating the lyrics. I'm not sure if you respond to these kinds of requests, so it’s fine if you don’t want to. I love your blog, by the way. I've been following you for a couple of weeks, and I really enjoy your character analyses <3

Hiiiii! Of course! No problem, I mean, it’s fine if I get questions that aren’t about fandoms, I’ve answered some random things before, so no worries at all. Instead of groups, I’ll give you some songs. Keep in mind that Spanish music has a lot of slang, set phrases, and typical filler words from here. There are also different accents. I guess it will be helpful for improving your Spanish, but I mention it so you know it’s not academic Spanish at all. I’ll leave you some songs I really like, some older ones and some more modern. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I haven’t had time to sit down and look them up recently. I hope this helps, and if you want any recommendations for series or films, feel free to ask as well! This is the last song from Rigoberta Bandini, she's awesome, all her lyrics had a very feminist background. You can check all her music because is pretty good. I like her a lot, btw this is her latest single is about empowering Pamela Anderson's figure and against the slut-shaming she suffered in the past. And it's a total boop!

Entre poetas y presos by La Raíz, an alternative rock band i used to listen a lot during my university years. They were very political and this song is a critic from the right wing people and talks about some spanish political issues. By the way all their songs are about political and social issues so if you want to research more i think it's a good way to understand the culture too

Joaquín Sabina is a classic, one of the most relevant authors of the last century. His lyrics are literally poetry. One of my oldies faves, all his songs are beautiful written and a piece of arte but i always choose this one because reminds me my chilhood and because is astonishing to be honest.

Spain is a place full of street parties and a street party isn't a proper street party without the legendary group Extremoduro. If you come here and attend a street party, knowing this song is a must:

Another classic. This song is amazing. Lucha de gigantes by the master Antonio Vega

This is from "El ultimo vecino" kinda indie spanish pop. I like him pretty much.

Another indie singer, "La bien querida" i'm very into indie music so... hahahah The song is beautiful btw

Amaia is a well knon pop singer who went to Eurovision but in the late years she opted for indie instead pop and we love her for that. This song is basically me in many ways

And for the last one but not the less important... El Pucho, El Madrileño, the one and only CTangana aka Rosalia's ex boyfriend aka one of the best producers nowadays. He mixed modern rythm with classical flamenco and old spanish sounds. He uses a LOT of slang in his songs but well i can't no put him here

And well that's all for the start i guess. I hope it helps you!

Honestly, I didn't think I would choose to do another Drake album but I just could not pass up the opportunity to talk about one of the most heartfelt and classic albums that he has ever made.

If you're reading this it's too late 6!

Many people including me say that this could be Drake's best album along with Nothing Was The Same and Take Care. There is just so much to this album that gets me excited every time I listen to it. This is an album that I started listening to recently but some songs on here were very popular when I was in 6th grade. My teacher mme Marianne was a huge Drake fan at the time and we would play Energy off the album sometimes in class. Clean version, of course, the whole class would sing along and it was just such a fun time. I didn't really know anything about Drake at the time except for a couple of his songs that played on the radio and obviously because of my class where half of them were Drake fans. It would only be till recently that I was able to listen to the whole album and I was blown away by how well made this project was.

Over time Drake has become one of my favourite artists and there are just so many reasons for it. I loved R&B as a kid and that's how he started off his career. His success is undeniable, from growing up as a single child with his mother to becoming one of the greatest of all time and inspiring many more. I am just one of the millions who look up to this individual and shows how much of an impact he has had. A lot of Drake's songs relate to me in a way that rarely any other artists do. Especially on this album the song "You and the 6" it makes me feel happy as he talks about his situation with his mother and his father and how his mother raised him all alone to become the man he is today. My parents have been divorced since I was very young and I have had my personal issues and hard times dealing with the situation but my mother stayed strong and took care of me on her own. I will always praise her for the sacrifices she made for me as life could be a lot different. Drake also mentions his ethnicity and how he was teased for being black but when he was introduced to the rap industry he was not black enough. As I am of mixed ethnicity aswell it's hard to see where you fit in sometimes as you are truly your own unique person. This is undoubtedly one of my favourite songs on the album and I wish Drake still made music similar to "You and the 6".

Preach by Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR is a song that reminds me of the good times riding my bike with friends and going to parties. One time I was biking with my friend Rayan and he introduced me to this song and I absolutely loved it from first listen. From then on I would hear it at parties and other places and it would always remind me of the good old times.

My love for the album comes from the fact that it was one of the only albums where Drake is angry and trying to prove to others he's not just a nice R&B guy but a damn good rapper. Half of the tracks on the album would be rap songs and trap beats while the other half was R&B singles. I can't believe what it felt like for Drake fans at the time when they finally got what they wished for. All the rap songs on the album like Energy, 10 Bands, Know Yourself, No Telling, Star67, 6 God and more had amazing beats and they gave off the feeling of a dark and eerie place which is what he wanted to give off. Lyrics weren't out of this world but enough for the song to be catchy and for people to enjoy it still.

If you have not listened to Drake's If you're reading this it's too late then you are really missing out. Its truly at the top of my favourite albums and even if you are not a fan of rap there is so much more to this album.

Stay tuned next week for another big blog post!!!

Break down of the song "Northern Downpour" by Panic! at

“Northern Downpour”

Besides being a musical masterpiece Northern Downpour is possibly one of the most devastating songs ever produced by the band pre and post split. Lots of PAN!C fans agree on this but i want to dive deeper than the beautiful sounds of the song but into the extremely deep and meaningful lyrics. In this “essay” I'm going to dissect the song verse by verse and talk about what it means to me.

“If all our life is but a dream, fantastic posing greed

Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea

For diamonds do appear to be

Just like broken glass to me”

For simplicity I'm gonna refer to the person singing as “the man.” and the person being sung about “the woman”. In the opening line the man is talking about how he realized not everyone's goal is to have lots of money or fame, but since we live in such a material world everyone has “posing greed” even though most people just want “fantastic” things. The next 3 lines “Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea, For diamonds do appear to be, Just like broken glass to me” it's the man realizing he doesn't value material items as much as he used to or as much as others around him. I think this is him looking back on what he had and what he regrets after gaining fame and leaving the woman to chase that fame.

“And then she said she can't believe

Genius only comes along in storms of fabled foreign tongues

Tripping eyes and flooded lungs

Northern downpour sends its love”

The woman is expressing her regret in not being able to speak to or see the man very often. Saying “Genius only comes along in storms of fabled foreign tongues” refers to the fact that despite the woman loving the man so much their lives are so separate he is almost foreign to her. She also refers to the man as storm because she sees him as passionate, uncertain and ever changing. Her saying “Tripping eyes and flooded lungs' ' probably refers to how she feels when he's gone, she feels upset and like she can't breathe without him. The man then teasingly or even flirtatiously says “Northern downpour sends its love” I’m assuming he's referring to himself when saying “northern downpour” because she refers to him as a foreign storm. 

“Hey moon, please, forget to fall down

Hey moon, don't you go down

Sugarcane in the easy morning

Weather vanes, my one and lonely”

The man then says: “Hey moon, please, forget to fall down Hey moon, don't you go down” because he doesn't want the few nights he gets to spend with the woman to end. Asking the moon to “forget to fall down” so the night can last forever and he can stay with her forever. The next two lines kind of confused me for a while but it wasn't written out for no reason so I kept reading different blogs and articles so here's what I think. Ryan himself says the song is about “touring and girlfriends” The sugarcane (cash crop)represents the man's new found fame and how “easy” his life may appear to others. “Weather vanes, my one and lonely” refers to weather vanes that show which way the winds are blowing, the weather vanes told him to follow his fame, leaving the woman behind. “My one and lonely” shows that he still loves the woman and thinks of her as his but chooses to leave her alone anyways.

“The ink is running toward the page, it's chasing off the days

Look back at both feet and that winding knee

I missed your skin when you were east

You clicked your heels and wished for me:”

Days bleed into weeks, months bleed into years. The man has found his fame but much time has passed. Even though he has fame and money the one thing he truly cares about is the woman and he cant stop thinking about seeing her again. “I missed your skin when you were east. You clicked your heels and wished for me:'' shows that the woman misses him as much as he misses her but they can't see each other and both wish like in the wizard OZ they could click their heels and be home together. 

                  “Through playful lips made of yarn, that fragile Capricorn 

                            Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves”

Capricorns are born from december 22 to january 19 and during that time the mans realizes what he really want “unraveled word like moths upon old scarves'' shows that during the winter he realizes what he really wants which is not fame and money but the “fantastic” from the first line of the song. (the fantastic being the woman.)

“I know the world's a broken bone

But melt your headaches, call it home”

  I just had to split this verse in two to give these two lines their own section. Ryan Ross said to Rolling Stone, April 2, 2008: “There’s a line in the song that goes ‘I know the world’s a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home.’ I told brendon to pay special attention to that line” showing that this line has special meaning. There's been a couple performances of Brendon Urie himself crying while singing this song post-split. But what do we think it means in the context of the story? Personally I think it's about how even though the world may seem terrible and not worth living in, it's still your home and you belong no matter what. The man is telling the woman that even in a world full of darkness to take joy in the few bright things we have. This line makes me cry (almost) every time I listen to the song and.

The rest of the song repeats the chorus “Hey moon, please, forget to fall down Hey moon, don't you go down Sugarcane in the easy morning, Weather vanes, my one and lonely” I think this means the same thing as the first time it's sung but more intensely. Now that the man is even more famous than before he never sees the woman and he knows he’ll never see her again. He also realizes that the fame he thought he wanted is now something he doesn't want at all. All he wants is his simple life and the woman back. 

Hope you enjoyed reading my lil theories lmk what you think!

03/28/2023 Click here for Spotify or Apple Music. “Going Gaga” is my 37th official release. This is the release for Friday March 31st but I scheduled the release three days early because it’s Lady Gaga’s birthday on the 28th of March. The track is inspired specifically by Gaga’s track “Bad romance.” 

I have a trope on my blog at EricLeo108.com called “cosmic luve” where I talk about how Gaia uses attractive mates such as Emma Watson, Selena Gomez, or Hailee Steinfeld to communicate through media semantics. For the latest post visit CosmicLuve.com. I haven’t made a new post in months, but Lady Gaga was the original cosmic luve back in 2012. There was always an underlying association tying the reference Emma Watson but Gaga was the front runner in my heart. Back then around 2012 I had just been diagnosed with schizophrenia and didn’t know what semantic priming was and hadn’t developed my theory of cosmic luve. I also wouldn’t come to term of having schizophrenia and needing medication until 2018.

Admittedly, Gaga put me through a lot of grief. I thought that she wanted to help me and was communicating through semantics on Facebook. I talk about this in my song “Talk to me” which is about Emma Watson but references the Lady Gaga situation. As an example of the semantics and cosmic luve back then, I had sold my motorcycle to pay for my first album “Edulution.” In the album I have a song called “Dionysus Rhythm” where I covertly reference Gaga. Then Gaga’s album cover for “Born This Way” was a motorcycle with her head for the front light. It was the first instance of coincidental semantics represented by an attractive mate which drove me crazy. I ended up going to New York twice to try and meet Gaga. The first time I ended up in a mental institution but the second time I met her father after I ate at their restaurant Joanne Trattoria. 

I don’t get a lot of coincidences anymore, and if I do I’m more prone to ignore them and find them dismissable. But the whole point of my theory is they add up to a wholistic, consistent, and systematic communication from Gaia that is more of a feeling which I’m still convinced is actually happening. I’m essentially ignoring that I think the Earth is communicating to me through telepathic randonauting and points of realizatioin.

I’ve never met Gaga but I continue to be inspired by her music. Although I still love Gaga, her art, her sound, and find her to be a great inspiration, I wouldn’t seek her out or try and date her. This is why I choose her song “bad romance” because our current only history is a one sided bad romance. I have another song called “Just Dance” inspired by Gaga that’s just about dance and steals her hook. In this song I talk about my personality in my music, it’s not an act and I make reference to Roman Atwood in the first verse who I’m a big fan of. I used them in the song because Roman and Brittany exemplify having a good relationship.

The track was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Sam Peters at La Luna Recording in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The beat is by KeyAnobeat.com and the cover art was made by ArtworkGang from Fiverr.

You can see me talk about this blog post from the last Sunday Update here:

Lyrics:

Got um goin Gaga, get on the floor and dance  Ra oo la la, I want your bad romance I said I got um goin Gaga, get on the floor and dance  Ra oo la la, I want your bad romance You know I love you so much, just wanna be with you   You know I love you so much, come on baby You know I love you so much, just wanna be with you   You know I love you so much, come on baby While you pimp’n these hoes Tryna find one to get to know Tryna be the lesson taught  And find the really special one Got um goin Gaga, get on the floor and dance  Ra oo la la, I want your bad romance Hey baby girl what you doin tonight? I like how you think, and I like your style We could go crazy, paint the town, get wild Tell me what you like baby I’ll do it for a smile

Smile more, I’ll be your Roman soldier   Bahama mama G Fuel, pop it like a soda  Shake it off, take a puff, wake’em up like Foldgers If you don’t succeed, then do it how it told ya Whatever your doin Put your mind into it Work smarter not harder Hope you find this useful  Cuz I make fly music That will guide you through it Slide in like Snoop did  And drive influence  Just want an O.G. to tell me my verse hot Better than relevant, worth a drop Illatic schematic, words like Pac  Invites me on stage, and reserves a spot Don’t got a girl, but know I would If I found her first, I’d wind up hers I wanna hug, my cosmic luve  But my life will change, like time is up cuz

You know I love you so much, just wanna be with you   You know I love you so much, come on baby You know I love you so much, just wanna be with you   You know I love you so much, (come on) come on baby While you pimp’n these hoes Tryna find one to get to know Tryna be the lesson taught  And find the really special one Got um goin Gaga, get on the floor and dance  Ra oo la la, I want your bad romance Hey baby girl what you doin tonight? I like how you think, and I like your style We could go crazy, paint the town, get wild Tell me what you like baby I’ll do it for a smile

You know what makes us different, altruism Empathy for eachother, and attitude for forgiveness  Separates us, that makes us step up We can see the future and choose to love Wield fire, build bridges, yield from the dirt Have um listen, grow the business, put in the work Join magnets, build neurons, talk to the Earth  Til my Salvador Dali world burst and give birth But The Psycho Consumption Cage Has got you trapped and you can’t escape The atmosphere a mirror room that we display And reflects the action that we engrave I wish, it would all go away, it’s to real to take So I study sociology in hopes to make a change And cosmic luve will find it’s way some day cuz

Is Harry Styles the One to Break the Curse of Toxic Masculinity?

By Jillian Bradin in September 2022

Harry Styles, a former One Direction band member, otherwise known as Fruit Man among his fans, is one of the most controversial pop stars of the summer. There a lot of people who have said he is queer-baiting, a term defined as someone who presents “queer ideas” soley for the purpose of marketing and gaining a larger audience. This began when he was pictured in Vogue Magazine in 2020 wearing a Gucci dress and since then has been helping people come out to their families or friends at his own shows.

People seem to have an issue with this because he, himself, has not actually said anything about his sexuality, however that shouldn't matter. Why are we questioning other people’s sexuality in 2022? It’s just a way people live, it's how people are, and again, like Harry says, we should treat people with kindness. Sexuality is a fluid spectrum and people should love people regardless of gender, sexuality and how one dresses. 

Consequently, from this idea of dressing or acting “gay” stems toxic masculinity. The idea of being more femine as a cis man has created backlash of not being “manly” enough, the sole definition of what toxic masculinity is. Toxic masculinity is doing things to seem like you are this alpha male, who is “better than everyone else” because they’re the most “manly”. This has led to issues of homophobia if you’re seen wearing or saying something “not manly enough”. 

So how does his music bridge this idea of toxic masculinity and interpersonal struggles? 

While it is true that Styles sings about fruit like Watermelon Sugar, many of his songs have a lot of longing to be more feminine throughout them. The media, a large scope of it at least, have begun to assume that he is part of the LGBTQ+ because of the qualities he possesses that are seen more in women, such as wearing more “feminine clothing” and being a decent human. This creates a fine line- no pun intended- between what men can do, how they speak, what they can wear and who they can be, without being called a woman, which is degrading for so many reasons. 

His music contains lyrics that can be listened to with many different perspectives, whether on the surface or with intent. There are a lot of songs I could analyze, however, I will be choosing one album that seems the most fitting as it contains a lot of songs longing to be who is with no remorse.  

On the album Fine Line, the songs She, Cherry, Fine line, and Treat People With Kindness, include lyrics that have a double meaning, or in other words contain double entendres. 

Although there are these amazing songs, I'm afraid if I write about all of them, no one will read this blog. So, without further ado, I will give you my top 3 songs off Fine Line that represent what a true man is. 

Fine Line; Put a price on emotion, i’m looking for something to buy

      I don't want to fight you, And I don't wanna sleep in the dirt

       We'll get the drinks in, So I'll get to thinking of her

       We'll be a fine line

The lyrics on a more shallow perspective look like they are talking about struggles with an old lover or past relationship. However, looking more closely, you can see that he says, Put a price on emotion, I'm looking for something to buy; to me, those lyrics scream that he wants to be allowed to have emotion but it will come at the price of being seen as less masculine or not manly enough. He then says, I don’t want to fight you and I don't want to sleep in the dirt, we’ll get the drinks in so I'll get to thinking of her. In this case, I think that he doesn’t want to suppress his feminine side, which I believe is the “Her” he is referring to. The lyrics seem like he wants to be his masculine self and not care about if things are seen as less masculine, which could be seen as defying toxic masculinity. 

She;    He takes a boat out, Imagines just sailing away (away, away)

And not telling his mates (not telling his mates), He wouldn't know what to say     (wouldn't know what to say, to say)

She (she), She lives in daydreams with me (she), She's the first one that I   see

And I don't know why, I don't know who she is (she), Lives for the memory

A woman who's just in his head (just in his head), And she sleeps in his bed (his bed)

While he plays pretend (pretend), So pretend (pretend)

The lyrics of “a woman who's just in his head, and she sleeps in his” might refer to how he recognizes himself in different aspects of his identity that he holds within himself, almost like a secret. Unlike Fine Line, this song seems to tell the story of how he wants to show who he really is and tell his friends and people closer to him, but seems afraid as if something bad might come of it. He also writes that he takes a boat and imagines sailing away. This, to me, symbolizes day dreaming about something and escaping from reality. To put it in context, Harry wants to get away from the reality of being scared or afraid of who sees him as how he sees himself. 

  Finally, the song Treat People With Kindness just embodies emotions of finding who you are and wanting to be yourself in a place where people don’t judge you. 

TPWK;  I got a good feeling, I'm just takin' it all in

   Floating up and dreamin', Droppin' into the deep end

   And if we're here long enough, They'll sing a song for us (ah- ah-ah-ah), 

   And we'll belong,

   Maybe we can, Find a place to feel good

   And we can treat people with kindness

  The lyrics “floating up and dreaming” conveys a world in which Harry wants to escape to. One where people live alongside you and encourage you to be the best version of yourself with no judgment or criticism. The next set of lyrics, “if we’re here long enough, they’ll sing a song for us” represents the patience he is willing to endure in order to make his dream a reality, and maybe, just maybe, everyone will treat people with kindness. 

Overall, Harry Styles has done an incredible job trying to diminish the ideas of toxic masculinity. I think that if more men, and even women and people in between, were to follow in the footsteps of him, the idea of being manly enough would expire and people could truly be themselves. Why try to fit into society’s standards when we could change the standards of society instead? Maybe if we did that, the world would be a better place and more men would be singing about fruit.

The parallels between ootw and tvfn is also a very intriguing and seems almost intentional. Like if tvfn was written first why would she use those parallels to describe a guy who was polar opposite to jake. If jake introduced her to Polaroids or had Polaroid memories with him I think Taylor somehow would have sneaked those references at least in the short film.She even showed the guitar he gave her. She made CIWYW lyric video cover Polaroid and mentioned it in NYD because she and joe shared some fondness for it.

Take me away to you//take me home . I also read an article were Julien brunnetta(?) said harry was adamant about calling iicf 'if I could fly ' instead of 'for your eyes only.' Also on the childish thing,wasn't 1d releasing tvfn style pop music in their first two albums. It looks like she is trying to link him with pop like the way she used 'guitar' works for dear john.

But who knows.......maybe we're wrong maybe not. Its not like Taylor would come and say tvfn is about jake/harry/connor. I think it's ok to have different opinions on art unless you are crossing the line

I think it's ok to have different opinions on art unless you are crossing the line agree, and most of us (and everyone i've discussed music with here on my blog, i appreciate you all very much!) do tackle these concepts and subjects with genuine care for her, and respectfully, i think. we're not wildly spinning or fabricating, we're just having fun looking at the known information and the lyrical pictures she paints, and wondering about why she chooses to depict certain situations in specific ways!

part of analysis is laying pieces out and deciding for ourselves where they fit and how they tell the story. and as i've said, we also then make them completely our own with personal meaning! that's the magic of it all, it's her story however she intended it, and then it's part of us and our memories too. <3

(i'm only putting these under cuts because i talk a lot lol)

this is kind of topic adjacent, but it's very warm to me how she's reclaimed and reconnected to things, both on her own, and with joe and the love they've built and that healing process. the rep polaroids are so special.

the typewriter reference is such a powerful metaphor in the atw short film, the fact that he would give her an instrument that she then uses to write the story down, and to make it hers and her legacy, and i love how that connects directly to the guitar. little lived-in flourishes like that are part of what makes it affecting.

it's definitely interesting that there's no mention of polaroids specifically elsewhere on red (or photographs even? *except* the photo album on the counter where he's a little kid with glasses). there are so many other tangible pieces - lockets and keychains and handwritten notes and scarves. but it's like she keeps the pictures in her own mind. which, for me, also speaks quite a bit to maroon, the bruise of it, and the way she looks back at that.

"for your eyes only" is a famous song by sheena easton from a james bond movie of the same title, i always just though maybe there was a conflict! but you're right: "Songwriter Julian Bunetta talked to Rolling Stone about hearing If I Could Fly for the first time, stating "I remember when Harry first played it to me. That one I didn't write, but I remember when I first heard it. We were in Westlake Studio for a week. I kept asking why he wanted to call it 'If I Could Fly.' It's a great song, so it doesn't really matter what it's called, does it?" it's something i personally love about that song, that its title is its first line, and that while it isn't repeated, it shifts the meaning in a way. because the center isn't the intimacy shared with the other person - for their eyes only - it's the longing to go back to them. (full disclosure, if i could fly is, like, my second favorite song of their entire catalog, so i have Feelings.) it makes that lyric poignant and particularly vital - which is exactly why the similar one caught my attention in the very first night.

it does intrigue me that there seem to be links between tvfn and ootw, and of course taylor does repeat themes that aren't connected, or take on different meaning in new situations, so i don't want to make random parallels between completely unrelated things (unlike some genius annotators haha), BUT it's a case where i find it quite magnetic emotionally, because either that's intended, or she entirely reframed her experiences from one to the other. both are interesting to consider!

i think it's a pretty common opinion that hygtg itself is a nod to 1D's early music stylistically, and while tvfn is very tayloresque, sonically it wouldn't be out of place alongside tracks on take me home. message in a bottle definitely would too, it's classic pop of the early 2010s (complimentary!). like i said, it's just such a sweet pop song and she wasn't really pointing that type of innocent reminiscence at jg, everything with him is more mature and emotionally loaded. we for sure could be wrong on this one, but it doesn't make the connections less curious!

“I hate you!”

Nanami couldn’t stop his flinch as Yuuji slammed the door to his room behind him. He didn’t have the energy now to scold him for slamming his door. Instead, he heaved a deep sigh and walked back down their small hallway to the living room to collapse on the couch. The bottle of whisky safely locked away in the cabinet above the fridge called to him but he resisted the urge. When Yuuji finally came out, he wanted to be completely sober so they could sit down and talk this out.

He could have left the apartment right now, found Gojou, and throttled him after choking him on those concert tickets. Whatever had possessed him to think two twelve-year-old boys could go out by themselves in the middle of the night to the show of a band whose music was far too mature for them anyway, Nanami didn’t know, and he guessed Toji didn’t know about it either. Otherwise the idea wouldn’t have left the Fushiguro house.

As soon as Yuuji had seen those tickets, it was the only thing he could talk about, filling their daily walk home from his school with his excited chatter. Nanami listened as intently as he could while trying to push all thoughts of work out of his head, putting all focus on his son. But when he heard just what band the boys were planning on seeing, the conversation had deteriorated to the point where Yuuji had begun yelling at his father, uttering those final three words before entombing himself in his room.

Nanami had resisted the pull to argue right back with Yuuji, but a thirty-something year old man arguing with his twelve-year-old son was downright ridiculous, and he had to take the high road in situations like this. Even despite his outburst, Nanami would not budge. Yuuji wouldn’t be allowed to go to the concert, and he would go so far as to call Toji and suggest he do the same with Megumi. He wasn’t afraid to be the bad guy if it meant his family was safe.

A sudden knock startled him from his reflection to look at the front door. He wasn’t expecting anyone to stop by, and he hadn’t buzzed anyone into the apartment. His heart quickened unwillingly at the rising probability of who it could be.

His suspicions were confirmed when he finally opened the door and saw you, his very sweet, very attractive next-door neighbor standing there, a smile crossing your face when he finally appeared. He tried not to focus on how your shirt clung perfectly to your curves, or your jeans, though stained with something he guessed was peanut butter, emphasized your small waist and shapely legs. Your dog helped him focus, distracting him from your form as he curiously watched it lick a spot of peanut butter from your jeans.

“Sorry, he snuck out the door with me as I was leaving.” Your smile grew sheepish as you held up a plate filled with treats. “Sounded like you both were having a rough day. But I guess now’s not the best time?”

“No, please, come in.” Nanami stepped aside and allowed you and your companion to enter. “We’ve just had a long day.”

The large dog plodded down the apartment’s small hallway and stopped at Yuuji’s door, pawing at it once with a whine. The door opened just enough for the animal to slip through before it slammed shut again.

“Is everything alright?” The look of genuine concern on your face made his heart tighten just for a moment while you sat on the couch together. “Is there anything I can do?”

“No, he’s upset I won’t let him go to the Raising Dead concert with Megumi by themselves.” Nanami sighed. “Unless I change all my beliefs in the next week, he still won’t be going.”

“Raising Dead?” Your eyes went unimaginably wide. “My mom wouldn’t let me even see them when I was 18. They’re a little…mature aren’t they? For someone Yuuji’s age? How did he even hear about them?”

“Exactly why I won’t allow him to go.” Nanami pointed out. “His best friend Megumi got the tickets from his,” he paused for a moment to consider how he could explain the relationship, “uncle. I guess they listen to the band together.”

“Well, I think you’re making the right decision, not that my opinion matters.” Your smile was soft as you rested a hand on his arm, making his skin burn in your wake. “I heard they rip heads off of chickens at their concerts.”

Your opinion is the only one that matters. He bit back the words and cleared his throat, shifting so your hand fell off his arm, but your touch still lingered. “It doesn’t change the fact that Yuuji is upset with me. He wanted the opportunity to go with his friend, and I stopped him from doing that.”

You considered this, looking toward the door to Yuuji’s room. “Do you want me to try to talk to him?”

“He’s pretty upset. Do you think he’d want to talk to you?”

“I could try. I had an overprotective parent too.” You grinned as he scoffed at your remark.

“I’m not overprotective.” Nanami frowned at her.

“You were one scraped knee away from sending him to kindergarten wrapped in bubble wrap for the rest of the year.”

“He kept getting hurt.”

You rolled your eyes at him, but there was no malice as you paired it with a soft smile. Standing, you grabbed the plate of cookies off the table and started walking towards Yuuji’s door. He followed you, leaning against the wall where Yuuji wouldn’t be able to see him if he didn’t open his door fully. He watched as you took a deep breath before knocking softly. “Yuuji? I made cookies. Do you want some?”

There was silence for several moments before Yuuji’s voice finally came from the other side.

“What kind?” He sounded muffled.

“Peanut butter chocolate chip.”

Another silent moment passed, then his door opened just enough to let his arm through, feeling around blindly for the treats. You held the plate just out of his reach when he was about to touch the edge.

“If you want them, you have to let me in.”

Yuuji considered this, his arm going limp before retreating completely just as his door opened a fraction more. “Just you.” He emphasized.

You turned to him with a small smile and squeezed your way into his room, the door finally closing softly for once this afternoon.

Nanami started to take a step forward to listen, but hesitated at the last minute. Although he had just denied it with his neighbor, he was overprotective, and that side of him screamed to listen in so he could know how Yuuji was, but it was clear he needed his space. If Yuuji found out he had been eavesdropping, that would only make it worse.

He forced himself to walk away, changing out of his work clothes into a t-shirt and going into the kitchen to start making dinner while they talked. He turned on an instrumental playlist, not wanting to deal with lyrics while he was so deep in thought, his mind occupied with his son and the problem he was currently facing at work.

About an hour later (and several shameless tiptoes down the squeaky hall to see if you two were still talking), Nanami looked up to see you and Yuuji turning the corner into the living room/kitchen area. Yuuji kept his eyes on the carpet, kicking it with his socked toe while you looked between the two males expectantly. When Yuuji didn’t say anything, you elbowed him as a prompt. He looked up at Nanami for a second then back down at his feet.

“I’m sorry.” He mumbled.

“For?” You said before Nanami could respond.

“For yelling at you. I was upset. I want to go to the concert with Megumi. But if it’s not safe, I’ll listen.” He spoke as if he were reciting a speech, but finally looked up at Nanami with an intense stare. “I still want to go though.”

“And?”

Yuuji lost some of his steel and looked back down. “And I don’t hate you.”

Nanami looked at you for a second, wondering what magic you had worked to get his stubborn almost-teenager to actually speak like an adult instead of yelling at him again. When you pointed and mouthed ‘All him’ behind Yuuji’s back, he took a deep breath and looked back at his son.

“I know you still want to go. But it’s not safe. Especially with you two going by yourself. If you find something else you want to go to, that’s not that band, then I’ll take you and Megumi.”

Yuuji looked like was about to start arguing again, but you cleared your throat and gave him a meaningful look when he glanced over at you. He relented with a sigh and a nod.

Now that was over with, Nanami walked around the counter and hugged Yuuji, placing a kiss on the top of his head. Yuuji hugged him back willingly before they both turned their attention back to you. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” The blond man asked.

You shook your head. “I should really go back home, I have to finish up a lot of chores I’ve been putting off.”

“Please stay.” Yuuji grabbed your arm. “I’ll help you tomorrow.”

“You have your own chores to do, Yuuji. And homework.” Nanami reminded him.

His son ignored him and held your arm tighter. “Please?”

Yuuji’s pleading won out, and after staying and having a jovial dinner of katsudon with the two men, you all sat on the couch to watch a movie of Yuuji’s choosing, one he promptly fell asleep to, his head on Nanami’s chest as he drooled on his shirt. The father looked at you, watching the screen intently as you tried to decipher who just was the killer in the murder mystery, sipping a cup of tea carefully.

You’d never know just how much he loved you. So he settled with the obvious for now.

“Thank you.” Nanami whispered over Yuuji’s head.

You turned to look at him, your brows still drawn together in confusion as if you didn’t know what he was thanking you for. When he nodded down to Yuuji’s sleeping form, you raised your eyebrows in acknowledgment and looked back to the TV screen.

“I didn’t do anything that wouldn’t have happened eventually.” You told him as you took a sip of tea. “He adores you, he wouldn’t have stayed mad for long.”

“Did he say anything?”

“I don’t want to betray his trust.” You admitted.

“Fair enough.” Nanami relented. “Would you tell me, though, if he needed anything?”

You smiled and nodded. “Always. Yuuji comes first.”

He thought he noticed a hint of sadness in your eyes at your words, but you were already up and gathering your empty dish before it registered. “Thank you for dinner. It was delicious.” You leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of Yuuji’s head, and with just the slightest hesitation, one on Nanami’s cheek. He felt his face catch fire as soon as your lips touched his skin, tingles emanating from where your lips made contact. He barely registered your own cheeks burning red as well as you started walking towards the door. “Come on, Koro.”

The woman and dog finally disappeared, leaving Nanami and Yuuji alone in their apartment. Once he carried Yuuji to bed and read a few chapters of his current book, he turned off the light and laid back staring up in the dark. No matter how hard he tried, his mind wouldn’t succumb to sleep. He kept thinking of you, not just your shared moment tonight, but every moment of the entire seven years you had known each other, memories he analyzed and went through with a fine-toothed comb each night before he fell asleep. Had he built up the glances the way you touched his hand, how you chose to spend your time with them rather than by yourself or with others? How you cared for Yuuji like her own, willing to help whenever you could? Were the feelings lying just beneath his carefully constructed surface genuine, ready to burst forth at any moment?

Were you in your bed, doing the same, thinking of him?

Hey Ho! :D

You will always find this post in my blog description.🥰

(Well, since there’s not really much information about me, here’s a post of things you’ve been interested in and some facts about me.)

(Thanks to the Anon for the motivation to do this here! <3)

-----

So, Hi! You can call me HBJ! I don’t want to mention my real name and age here. 😁

I started publishing my fanfictions here on Tumblr a little over a year ago and haven’t left since. xD

My mother tongue is not English, I am from Germany. So if you find some mistakes, please excuse it, I’m doing my best and still learning. <3

I honestly have no idea what to write here so, have fun, if anyone reads through this here. 😂 At least that’s a little bit of me. :D

>The Ask Box is always open. So feel free to ask a question if you are interested (but I want to warn you, I am not answering everything, but I will let you know in this case) < <3

-------------------------------------------

Let's start! ❤️🌹🎭

-------------------------------------------

First of all 10 Random Facts about me. This was asked by an anon. Here is the original post.

I’m a giant nerd, there’s no place in my room that’s not full of merchandise.

I prefer to read stories that are self-published, for example here on Tumblr or on other sites, rather than real books.

I have a problem with jackets, I have tons of them.

I usually dye my hair according to the colors of characters I like.It all started with green/purple - because of the Joker. And the last color I have at the moment is all green because of Joker / Loki from Marvel (Oups)

Almost all tattoos I have are about fictional characters (also Oups)

No one, really nobody knows what books/stories I read because that’s something very private to me.

I listen to music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Also, it’s hard for me / I don’t like to talk about the music I listen to because this is very intimate for me for some reason.

When I watch a series, it’s at least 2 times behind each other, sometimes more often. But never just once.

Films that I watch for the first time and that excite me, I watch every second that I have time. When the movie is over, I start again unless there are several parts. But then I always watch my favorite one 500 times.

Random questions from you.

(Asked by @procrastinatingrobin) -One place that you'd like to travel at least once in your life?

---- One of my biggest wishes is (what a cliché xD) New York. For example the “Joker Stairs”, which is one of my biggest dreams. *-*

I would love to travel to a lot of locations from my favorite movies/series.🤭

America in general is a dream for me (a German potato 😂😅).

But there are so many beautiful places to which I want to go. For example, I would love to travel to Tenerife. I know someone who lives there and every time I see pictures I get very jealous. xD

Unfortunately, I’m incredibly afraid of flying, so if that doesn’t improve, I’ll never get anywhere near these places.😫😂😂

---

(Asked by Anon) How many tattoos do you have?😄

I love tattoo questions. 😂🤭At the moment I have eleven tattoos🥰

---

(Asked by Anon) -What's your favorite animal?

Hmmm I don’t really know, I think they are dogs because I have a dog now. *-* But to be honest, turtles are so cool.🤔 My brother has a turtle named: Schiggy (based on Pokémon)🤭

---

(Asked by Anon) -The stupidest thing that ever happened to you?

Ohhh hahaha there I have something good!😅Story Time with Hbj xD

Okay: As some might know, I’m a big fan of The Joker by DC.🃏Well, in 2019, the Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix came to the cinemas and I was at the cinema premiere with my best friend. And the movie was absolutely amazing. I really wanted to watch the movie again..Aaaaand I was lucky because my best friend’s boyfriend also wanted to see the movie in the cinema so I went back to the cinema 5 days later to watch the movie again. I was so excited and so extremely happy that I trembled and could not stand still. xD And for these two reasons, I accidentally dropped my not really old phone. It just fell straight down on the stones in front of the cinema and the display was completely broken..Well, what can I say? I needed a new one.. 😂😅But the movie was still fantastic!😍🤭This is actually one of the stupidest things that ever happened to me. xD

---

(Asked by @kyras-things) What are the little things that make your day happiest?

Oh that’s a really nice question! *-*Well, I have really little things that can make me happy. :)-It is enough for me when I wake up tomorrow and see my merchandise shelf😅 (This is right in front of my bed)This is for most something really small but for me really great and makes me happy. <3Other things are music, stroking my dog, messages on my phone, my hair color, my tattoos, when the sun is shining in the morning, coffee, riding longboard and of course (yes this is my absolute serious and not only so therefore said) tumblr and thus at the same time Duskwood. 💕I think these are the most important things. 🤭All I need is to see something that matters to me.😅🥰

---

(Asked by @leetjep) Seriously....Do you ever sleep?

Very rarely😂 Last time I slept was in fall.😂

---

(Asked by Anon) Ios or android?

Only related to the phone: Android.Yes, I stand by it!😂

---

(Asked by @booklover-01040) Hello!I was wondering have you got any paranormal or creepy experiences? If no, then a nightmare that you will never forget.

Hey Ho! In fact, I haven’t experienced any paranormal things. Which is probably also because I don’t believe in that and I’ve found a rational cause for everything so far. (Important: I don’t believe in it, but I don’t say it doesn’t exist, I don’t want anyone to feel attacked)

And a nightmare I’ll never forget? In fact, I can’t think of any one. There’s a dream I’ve have since I was a kid: It’s about two little wolves trying to eat me. xD And I can even tell where that came from.

The movie to blame for this is: Twilight xD

Yep… When I first watched this movie, I was way too young, and as a child I was always very anxious. Just such things and horror movies in general were terrible for me (today it is actually no longer so) (Even the dream is no longer bad today and yet it has a bitter aftertaste of childhood.)

In any case, I was much too young and that did not let me go back then. xD But a really unsettling dream I had was: Well.. Do you know the Pink Panther? 😂

I once dreamed that the Panther “chased” me through an endless long corridor. It was an endless corridor in pink with countless doors. He sang the theme song and threw clocks at me…😅 And that went on all night until I woke up.

(This, by the way, had a trigger too. A German song (the rapper only took the melody of the title music and wrote his own lyrics. The text isn’t really cool though and that’s the reason)

----

(Asked by Anon) some information about your dancing?😄 you mentioned it a few days ago💃

Yeah, well, I danced for 13 years, in different groups, also several groups at the same time. :D It was the hip hop/breakdance direction. But at some point I stopped because I didn’t enjoy it in the groups anymore and time was getting tighter. :/ Unfortunately, there was and is no real other groups here, which is why I stopped completely and now only dance for myself and just for fun.🤭

(Asked by Anon) What type of video games do you like to play?

I don’t really have a favorite type / genre, I don’t play video games that often. I’m actually playing what looks exciting to me without any particular genre or type. 😁🤭

(Asked by @mirajane01040-duskwoodmemes) Do you play... Minecraft?

I used to play a lot of Minecraft, but nowadays not so much, and if so, then only the mobile version. This is fun for in between and dispels the boredom. I even started building Duskwood several times, but never finished it. xD Well, yes, sometimes I play Minecraft.

Answer a few days later: Yes, I do!

---

(Asked by Anon) If you could be a fictional character, who would it be and why?

Oh, there are a few. xDBut the three main characters for me: Evey Hammond because of V for Vendetta. Harley Quinn because of The Joker. And, of course, my MC because of Jake. 🤭I know, very superficial reasons but I hope they are enough for you, because these are the main reasons xD 😅🤭

---------------------

Either/or questions from you.

(Asked by @duskwood-legacies) -What would you rather see, Northern Lights or sky lanterns?

That’s easy for me🤭 Northern Lights! If you ask me.. that is magical! *-* (Well, unless it’s like “Tangled” and I get a Flynn Rider.. then sky lanterns xD)

---

(Asked by @duskwood-legacies) -Strawberries or raspberries?

Definitely: Strawberries🍓 *-*

---

(Asked by@duskwood-legacies) Do you prefer angst or fluff?

---

(Asked by @justubi) Would you rather be poor but love your job or rich but absolutely hate your job?

One hundred percent and without having to think about: poor and love my job!I could never have a job I don’t like. This is a real horror imagination for me😂

---

(Asked by @kyras-things ) Prefer to write fanfics or read them?

Oh that’s a really hard question for me! 🤔 I can’t really make up my mind, but I think I’d rather read than write myself. With stories of others I can better dive into another world and relax. 🤭Because when I write, five hundred other thoughts always fly around in my head and I have to decide how to write something etc.I love writing but sometimes I wish I only had to think about a story and it would be written on a sheet right away. xD <3

---

(Asked by @leetjep) Would you rather have one eye in the middle of your head or two noses?

I take the eye in the middle of my head. 😂Then I would make the Jake eye as a tattoo around it, which would be really cool.🤭

Okay SO--

Since nobody wanted to answer me right now and I was dying to write, I wrote beginning's for BOTH of my ideas. God almighty I really hope I didn't just start two different stories running at the same time.....NO. NO I WILL NOT. You have to CHOOSE which one you get now, and which one you get later.

The first one is called "Caught In The Storm" and the second one.....I can't think of a pithy title right now.

So...yeah. CHOOSE.

PS- For the first one, you really need to have heard or listen to "Caught In The Storm" By Katherine McPhee as heard on SMASH.

"Caught In The Storm"

“Okay I want you guys to be COMPLETELY honest, be brutally honest,” You instructed the group as Kelsey sat at the piano. They all agreed and yelled cheers as you began to sing:

You can push me away

I can take it

I can make you a promise

and break it

We know the way it goes by now

Running off just to see

if I chase you

I pretend I know how to replace you

Still we get tangled up somehow

You danced around the stage, singing happily to your “family”, that basically consisted to the entire NYC SVU squad and your two best friends, Kenneth and Kelsey.

Hear it thunder

And I wonder

How long can I hang on

I'm caught in the storm

I'm caught in the rain

I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain

I'm ready to drown

But it's coming down

But I feel so alive

Just let me go

Just walk away

If you love someone you never let them stay

Caught in the storm

You didn’t have the best family life growing up. Your dad was out of the picture, your mom worked 3 jobs just to keep a roof over your head, so you were alone a LOT of the time. You and your next door neighbor Kenny had become fast friends, and often his dad Fin would let you stay for dinner, even sometimes overnight if your mom was going to be really late.

As the bars on The Bowery are closing

You arrive at the door standing frozen

You say you thought you'd find me here

Tell me how I begin to forget you

When you keep coming back and I let you

Love me until you disappear

From then on, even when you went through high school and college, Fin was your “dad”. And when he became a detective at SVU, you’d often visit him because you didn’t live next door to him anymore and he seemed to ALWAYS be working.

I'm caught in the storm

I'm caught in the rain

I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain

You had quickly been “adopted” by Olivia Benson, and the other members of the squad. However, people began to shuffle in and out of the unit, the only consistency being your “mom” and “dad”. Currently, your “extended family” consisted of Nick Amaro, Sonny Carisi, Amanda Rollins and Rafael Barba, the ADA that often worked the SVU cases in court.

I'm ready to drown

But it's coming down

But I feel so alive

It had always been your dream to be a famous singer, but so far the closest thing you had to fame was being adored at Karaoke Nights at every club and bar you could find. But now, this was your big break. Someone at one of those karaoke nights owned a small up and coming bar/club, real nice and classy, and he wanted live music. A house singer, to be exact. Someone to sing there EVERY night, be adored ALL the time. Your big audition was tomorrow morning, and the “gang” had all agreed to come down and listen to your audition song at the club.

Just let me go

Just walk away

If you love someone

You never let them stay

Caught in the storm

You had been making sure you made eye contact with everyone during the song, dancing and twirling on the stage gleefully. You were losing yourself in the song, the lyrics speaking to you, as the bridge came up.

Let me wash away

You can find me after the flood

Let me wash away

The piano cut out for a moment after the crescendo, lightly dancing notes out of it now, leaving you in your head about the song’s meaning.

Caught in the storm

Caught in the rain

Caught in the rush that hides this pain

You didn’t even think, you just sang the last lines looking STRAIGHT into Rafael Barba’s eyes.

If you love someone

You find a way to stay

Caught in the storm

Suddenly you heard Kelsey clear her throat VERY loudly as she played the end of the song and you realized what you had been doing. You quickly looked down at the floor, praying to God no one noticed it.

Hmmm…..

You sang the last note to the floor, then looked up with the biggest fake smile you could and curtsied awkwardly while you turned to Kelsey and nodded for her to follow you as you bolted backstage.

“Tell me you didn’t notice anything at the end,”

“Oh you mean when you basically stared holes into the ADA’s eyes when you sang YOU LOVE SOMEONE?” She asked. “Oh yeah no, totally unnoticeable,” she added sarcastically.

“Fuuuuccccccccckkkkkkk…..”

“Y’all, WHAT was that?!” Kenny suddenly came from offstage to join the conversation. “Y/N, Girl were you drinking before this or just taking stupid pills?”

“I can’t...I’m not going to deal with this right now,” You waved them both away and walked out to face your “family”.

“Oooookay well, it’s totally getting late and I appreciate you guys hearing me out, get home safe!” You awkwardly spit out a million words a minute, looking around the room above everyone’s eyelines. It was like Stevie Wonder was giving them a goodbye spiel.

You quickly turned on your heels to bolt backstage and wait it out until they left, but the last voice you wanted to hear spoke up.

“Don’t you wanna hear our opinions, baby girl?”

You sighed and turned slowly to face all of them, their faces mostly super uncomfortable. You looked to Fin, who had made you stay.

“Yeah, sure-- go for it,” You threw your hand up dejectedly and waited for the drop.

“Well I’d say it was excellent, except for the part where you were eye fucking Barba,”

And there it was.

“FIN!” Olivia hit him, the rest of the squad squirming uncomfortably. You didn’t dare to see what Rafael was doing.

“Yep, there it is,” You rolled your eyes, starting to walk away.

“Where are you going Y/N, we’re gonna talk about this!” He started angrily walking after you.

“Talk about WHAT, Fin?” You spun around.

“Have you been screwing Barba behind my back?” He narrowed his eyes at you.

“WHAT?! NO!” You gasped in horror.

“NO,” Rafael added almost on top of you.

“He has nothing to do with it, Fin,” You assured him.

“Good because you and him, NEVER gonna happen,” He gestured between the two of you.

“Okay FIRST of all, I love you Fin but I’m a grown woman and you can’t tell me who to date!” You scoffed.

“Oh please Y/N you’re 22, you’re still my baby--”

“And SECONDLY,” You interrupted him. “I’m not ACTUALLY your daughter, so you don’t get an opinion,”

“And THIRDLY, I really, REALLY don’t want to have a long conversation with ANY of you about how I just professed my love for Rafael on--”

“Love? You’re in love with him now?” Fin interjected again, turning to Rafael. “What did you do?!”

“Oh my god, FIN,” You stood in between them. “He didn’t do anything, this is all on me,”

“This is insane, you are NOT--” Fin tried to start bitching at you once again, but Kenny came to the rescue.

“Dad, just let them be. She’s right this ain’t any of our business, no matter how angry you are right now okay? Just...let’s go, yeah?”

“Yeah alright…” Fin nodded to Kenny, then turned to you. “We’re going to talk tomorrow,”

“Can’t wait,” You muttered under your breath as they walked outside. Finally over that little debacle you started to make a beeline for the backdoor when you heard another voice you really didn’t want to.

“Y/N….Don’t you think we need to talk?”

You turned back to see Rafael standing there with a concerned look on his face. Awesome. You looked behind him noticing the rest of the squad waving goodbye at you and excusing themselves, leaving you and him alone.

“You know I really need to get some sleep before tomorrow, and--” You started to walk away, but Rafael grabbed your hand.

“Y/N…”

“What?!” You spun around again, now angry and tears in your eyes.

“What, Rafael? Unless the next words out of your mouth are ‘Gee you know what Y/N I didn’t realize it until this very second, but I’m in love with you too!’, then I REALLY don’t need to hear it, trust me,”

“Y/N come on, just talk to me,”

“Rafael I get it,” You bit back tears.

“You’re too old, or Fin’s too much of your friend, and I never should have said anything, but I did. But I’ve got the biggest audition of my LIFE tomorrow. So what I’d really like to do right now is go home, cry, drink and forget this night ever happened so that I can just focus on that, can I do that? Please?”

“I…” Rafael dropped your hand, but still looked at you with puppy dog eyes. “Yeah, I guess so,”

“Thank you,” You nodded to Kelsey who followed you out the back door, leaving Rafael alone in the dark and empty club.

----------

"Role Model" or TBD

“Shit, he’s going to kill me,” You muttered as you glanced at your phone. You were already twenty minutes late to Kenneth's party, and you were still stuck in traffic about a block away.

“You know what, I can walk from here,” You nodded to your UBER driver and exited the car, running down to the bar. You finally made it, glancing at the neon sign: BUDDY’S. It was you and your best friend’s favorite bar, and now you were late for his party.

You quickly gave the doorman your name and he nodded you in. The place was packed, per usual. You didn’t see anyone you recognized so you headed up to the bar and ordered a Porn Star Martini while you texted Kenny to see where he was.

“Oh my God do you think she knows?”

“She showed up so I’m guessing not,”

You glanced over to see two classmates from your law school a few feet away. They were clearly drunk and speaking louder than they believed they were.

“I can hear you, morons,” You rolled your eyes as the bartender handed you your drink.

“Oh! Y/N,” The first one giggled as they both stumbled over. “Sorry, we didn’t see you there,”

“Right,” You gave them a sarcastic smile. “And what exactly don’t I know?”

“That--” The other one started, but someone tapped you on the shoulder.

“Kenneth! Happy birthday! I’m so sorry I’m late it’s--”

“Please don’t kill me,” He cut you off.

“...Shouldn’t I be saying that to you?”

“No, I’m saying it to you, and I’m saying it again. Please don’t kill me, and I’d like to add I had NO idea this was going to happen,”

“What are you talking about?” You raised an eyebrow.

“I, um-- I invited my dad,”

“You invited your dad, to a gay club?” You sipped your drink with a skeptical look.

“I mean I mentioned it to him, I didn’t think he’d actually show up,”

“Okay so, what? You think your dad’s gonna cramp our style or--”

“He brought his friends,” He added with a very serious tone.

“...What do you mean, he brought his friends?” Your heart started racing.

“What do you think I mean?”

“Hey Hey party people-- OH. Y/N! You came!” Your other best friend Gabi walked up with shots.

“Give me that,” You stole the shot and took it immediately, the familiar burn of vodka travelled down your throat.

“Nice to see you too,” She snorted, then noticed Kenneth’s face. “Oh you told her, didn’t you?”

“Told me what?” You asked, praying to God you didn’t know the answer already.

“I think you know,” Kenneth gave you another apologetic look.

“We’re in the back,” Gabi grabbed your hand and pulled you through the crowd.

“Who’s we--” You started to ask, but then you saw them. At the back of the club, in a small secluded area with plush couches and a table sat a couple of your mutual friends, his dad Fin Tutola, and the entire squad of NYC SVU.

“I’m going to--” You growled under your breath.

“Please don’t kill me,” He whispered back.

“I won’t if you tell me tweedle dee and tweedle ditz haven’t been running their mouths off back here,”

“NO,” Kenneth almost yelled. “I have kept those vultures away from here all night, but--” He glanced over at the two girls who were obviously failing at flirting with the very gay men at the bar. “You know they’re just waiting to take you down,”

“So we’ll just wait them out,” Gabi shrugged as she came back from the bar with more shots. “Or, y’know shuffle him out the back door,”

“Shut up,” You took another shot from the tray and downed it.

“Are you really sure you wanna--?” Kenneth asked as you downed a second one.

“If I’m about to come face to face with the man of my dreams for the first time ever, YEAH Kenny, I’m pretty sure I do,”

“Man of your dreams,” Gabi scoffed playfully behind you.

“Shut up!” You hit her again. “He’s beautiful, he’s perfect, he’s--”

“Sitting RIGHT there,” Ken gestured to the group of “adults” now very much staring at your trio.

“Show time,” Gabi giggled as you nervously followed Ken to their group.

“Dad, you remember Y/N,” Ken nodded to you.

“Yeah, the lawyer right?” Fin asked, making Rafael’s ears perk up; he stared right into your eyes while you swore up and down you would NOT pass out in front of a whole club full of people.

“Law student,” You nervously responded, trying to keep your eyes on Fin.

“Well this is Rafael, Barba, our ADA. Maybe you’ve heard of him?” As soon as Fin introduced Rafael to your group, Gabi let out a very loud laugh. You elbowed her so hard she almost fell over back into the crowd.

“Sorry…” She made a face at you.

“...Is that a yes?” Fin asked in confusion.

“Nick, Sonny!” Ken suddenly yelled at the two men sitting next to Fin and Barba. “This is my best friend Y/N!”

They both waved politely, but you caught them scanning your body up and down with approving smiles. Had Rafael done that? You had been too embarrassed to look. Did he approve?

“Boy you are so rude, we were in the middle of a--” Fin started again.

“This is Olivia and Amanda, our partners,” Nick suddenly interjected. “Just so you know, they’re not our girlfriends,” He emphasized.

“Subtle, Amaro,” Sonny snickered. “You’ll have to excuse him miss, he’s already had a few,”

“Are we all introduced now? Are we good?” Fin looked at each of his compadres who nodded and went back to their conversation, but you noticed Olivia looking between you and Barba.

“So I’m guessing you do know--”

“Y’know Fin, I think it’s pretty obvious she knows who he is,”

“Liv!” Rafael looked over at her with his mouth agape, shocked she was being so aggressive. “Annnnddd no more drinks for you,” He took the wine out of her hand.

“This cannot be happening…” You looked up at the sky and muttered to no one in particular.

“I’m going to get a refill,” You suddenly excused yourself, having downed your beverage in 2.5 seconds. As soon as you were gone, Kenneth hit his dad.

“Really, dad?”

“What? Does she not like him or something?” Fin was completely obtuse.

“Oh no she REALLY likes him--” Gabi started to laugh again but stopped immediately when she saw Kenneth’s death stare.

“I don’t understand how she even knows who I am?” Rafael looked between the two of them.

“Law school, term papers, I don’t know,” Kenneth shrugged, not entirely sure how you got your obsession with Rafael Barba started. “All I know is that she has a huge thing for you, and she told me that in confidence,”

“Barba?” Nick suddenly yelled, only hearing the last part of the conversation.

“She has a thing for Barba?!”

Were the first words to greet you as you rejoined the group, new drink in hand.

“Oh my GOD, Kenny?!” You screeched. “You--You TOLD them?”

Your eyes darted between Kenny, Amaro and Barba. You didn’t know what to do, or say. You wanted to scream, throw up and run away all at the same time.

“NO!!! No, Y/N look I--”

“Save it,” You threw your fresh drink in Kenny’s face and stormed back into the crowd.

“Thanks, Amaro,” Kenny sighed as he grabbed napkins to dry his face. Rafael looked to where you had run off to, then to Kenny, then to Fin.

“Should I--?”

“Oh good GOD no, please don’t,” Kenny assured him. “I’ll go get her, it’s my fault,” He sighed and ran through the crowd after you.

[dorianeinar]

Greetings my dears!! I’m Dorian! More info is below!

Hi! My name’s Dorian as stated above! (It is not relevant to the novel, though, I do love the book to death). Once you get to know me better, I’ll allow the nickname Dori, for I love it very dearly. It makes me oh so happy

I’m 19, though I still have quite the inner child. While my innocence may be gone and burned to ashes, I still am uncomfortable with many things. Just make sure you ask before you choose to do or show me anything that’s not so safe for work! If you do go over the top by any means, I will block you. Thank you kindly!

I’m a transgender man who is also gay and poly. I’m also a femboy (That’s for after teetus deletus, which I’m so very happy to achieve sooner rather than later.)

My pronouns are He/It as well as other neopronouns which I’d be way more than happy to provide!

Things to Know:

I am part of the otherkin community. More specifically vampirekin. I relate a great deal to the species and am very well informed on the topic of otherkin. If you’d like any advice or information on it, I’d be very happy to provide it for you!

So, I’m an anarchist. Now, I will say this once and once only, don’t come here on my blog hoping to strike up a conversation about politics and all that jazz, for while I may be well versed in them, I find no interest whatsoever in politics. Let it be gone from here!

I curse quite a bit. You could say as much as a sailor, I’d say probably way more. It’s very much a coping mechanism for me. If you’re not into people who curse, then steer away from here.

I will not trigger tag blood for reasons. I find it comforting. If you’re not comfortable with blood or anything related to blood, please kindly move away from this blog

I myself will reblog some nsfw posts. While I said what I said up above, that still doesn’t open a chance for you to send me things that are nsfw related. All you gotta do is ask first.

Tone tags are highly appreciated please and thank you!! For I have adhd and have trouble detecting tone sometimes!! :3

Kinning: Kinning is the act of relating to characters from different media very heavily. There are different ways of kinning. I'll be happy to explain more if you’d like to know!

ID Cores: These are characters that basically make up your everyday personality. You vent with them, they’re simply YOU. These are mine, and please don’t bother me about any that may seem problematic. I’m well aware that they are. That stuff happens.

That’s all for now lovelies! My mottos go out to all of you dear individuals!

“Be your own kind of human.”

“Dreams are the best way to move forward.”

“Believe in yourself, and you will find that you are greater than you think.”

“You don’t have to be perfect to live up to your truest potential.”

“When it’s the tiniest things that mean a lot, you know you’re getting yourself into something truly spectacular!”
