#I used ur ask as a prize for finishing part of my project

[kanene-yaaay]

I have NO idea why Tumblr is taking so much quality from the screenshot but I am on my pc so pls bear with my lack of knowledge.

YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT U DID WHEN YOU CHOSE HIM I WAS GING TO SLEEP AND SPENT ONE HOUR INSTEAD THINKING ABOUT HIM

I only put 3 Fruity points because I don't actually think he was ever interested in anyone romantically but that list of the "Perfect Wife" of his is so ghjkjhygtfr bruh u don't want a woman pls just say it (/j) also infinitely funny that most of those characteristcs fits Lan Xichen we keep winning fr fr

Also I must say that I only put Little Meow Meow because he is just so freaking <3 pathetic little wet cat hissing and scratching everyone them wailing when that results in no pets </3 babe PLEASE let someone get close to you besides your nephew you created like a son PLEASE

Friend Shaped because I want to hug him and I would be oblitarated otherwise besides it would be great to be friend of a leader especially from yunmeng

I see ur Sidekick Onwer and offer to you instead the Sidekick OWNED

Like I killed you. You are my family. You killed my family. It wasn't your fault. It was mine. It was theirs. What are you doing with them. I died for you. You brought me back. I hate you. I carry your weapon for 13 years. I hate you. I follow your traces and every hint of you. I can never escape you. I can never be you. I can not bear to let go. I can not ask for you to stay. You are the only one who remembers. I can't understand you. We used to talk without fighting. I used to understand you. You forced me to stay. I miss you. I miss you. I can not stop following you.

I will never forget the very moment when we spend the entire story seeing Jiang Cheng as someone who just can't leave Wei Wuxian to have a single moment of peace, who was his best friend/future leader/brother/whatever and now is full of resentment and hate and keep finding and screaming and prodding at every bruise and yet in the most important fight takes a hit for him and reveals holding onto Chengqin for 13 entire years.

And then. AND THEN after he discovers Wei Wuxian gave him his core and therefore gave up from ever following the cultivation path again, we have that single moment, that single memory of Jiang Cheng attracting the Wen Soldiers away from him, being captured, tortured, losing his core and almost dying which was the biggest show of love and care that started the entire cycle of sacrifices and drove each other away.

The love was there. It made things worse but it was there.

That was the very moment everything else clicked and I knew that he was The Blorbo I would be obsessed with. Also is a parental figure so my fate was sealed from the evry beginning.

On a llighter note!!! I put more, less AND different romance because kijuygthyujikol how can he be listed as the 5th most derisable cultivator of his generation AND NEVER have a SINGLE one HINT of a partner <3 <3 <3 my bro has absolutely NO RIZZ and no desire to marry <3 <3 I think it would be super interesting to see anything romantic related to him

Favourite Food: S&V thin cut or kettle chips - it’s like medicine honestly. Chips in general actually. Headache? Chips. Anxious? Chips. Fight with boyfriend? EAT THOSE CHIPS BITCH

Favourite Beverage: water, water, water

A childhood memory in regards to music: I used to go to these NYE christian camps up until I was about 11 and I remember on the boat ride home one of my friends was listening to her Walkman. I was too young to know what it was but she let me listen for a bit and that’s the first time I remember vividly thinking “this is the best thing in the world, nothing else matters. just this”. It was a Michael Jackson album and I didn’t give the walkman back to my friend lol. pretty buzzy cause from that moment onward all I wanted to do was consume and live music & also upper cut anyone who talks shit about MJ. fuck you MJ haters, bet you don’t like S&V chips either.

Location: Lalumanu, Samoa. or wherever my Mum is. she’s really cool

Last track you listened to: This new one I’m working on with KEV (shameless self promotion)

Views on reincarnation: I think things that happen after death are not our place to know, otherwise we’d all know. get it? neither.

Views on mainstream media: It’s entertainment, mostly mind numbing but it’s entertainment nevertheless . it’s not real lol. I also think if you’re gonna complain about it and want change, stop consuming it and stop giving companies their ratings and views.

A track to chill to: VILLETTE - beige (shameless self promotion, again) or if you don’t like my music try Daley - Alone Together

A track to break it down to: Break it down can mean many things so here is a break down of tracks you can break down to. Dance to: Missy Elliot - get ur freak on. Get pissed to: anything from MIGOS. Sex: the internet - special affair. genuinely feel your feminine power: anything from Xavier Omar

First Album you ever purchased: Michael Jackson - Bad

Thanks for that so how old were you when you realised you were blessed vocally? were you shy about your singing abilities or have you always been quiet expressive in that way, also what drives you to continue singing?

I get asked that a bit and I still struggle with this answer. I think my parents thought I could sing before I knew, then my teachers in school and choir and stuff.

I just sang because I was put into lessons and I knew I could hold a note. I love singing now, and I’m not humble-bragging, I genuinely think I can sing now but it was only recently that I actually felt I had a nice voice. 

I sing only because I write songs, if I didn’t write songs I wouldn’t sing because I’d have nothing to say that’s truly from my own fucked up mind. I’m still shy about it, but more about the words I’m saying, not about how my voice sounds sonically.

You also write your own music, beautifully if I might add, the lyrics to beige are developed in such a poetic way not to mention the love drunk production, the tracks a wonder, much love.

 In regards to your songwriting where do you pull your inspirations from and what do you enjoy most about the creating process of writing a song.

Firstly THANK YOU Sophie <3 with Beige, I remember I was crying on my bedroom floor lol. I find it hard to deal with sadness if I can’t do anything about it but I remembered my friend (NITU) had sent me this beat that I was going to write to so I picked my sorry ass up and sat in the chair facing my speakers and laptop and chucked the song into ableton. 

I don’t remember thinking about structure, finding the right melodies or making the words that I was thinking of sound cooler or more poetic than they actually are. My writing is kinda blunt when emotion strikes so I kinda blacked out & recorded it then went to sleep. 

The next day we had the song & it was just a matter of working with Nitu to make the creation an actual track. I think I pull a lot of inspiration from my past, fantasy & subconscious state. I like to write from a powerful feminine point of view but also the polar opposite.

I don’t always know though, it changes a lot & that’s what makes it exciting for me. I think I enjoy the release of stress & seeing the words on paper the most. 

When I look at what I’ve written and I can honestly look at it and think “that makes sense” or “this is what I wanted to say to someone but I didn’t have the guts to when I had the chance” or even “yes this is truly how I feel but I don’t want to say it out loud”. 

Those moments are like looking into a dirty mirror that you’ve been cleaning for a while and you get a glimpse of your reflection. It’s intimidating & self reflective & raw. Also highly addictive.

You also dabble with production producing your EP Crimson Girl and various other tracks such as “Ruby” one of your collaborations with another Auckland based producer such as your self known as Troy Samuela. 

How did you get into producing and what inspires you to continue putting together your own tracks?

I honestly just got sick of playing the guitar and only making acoustic songs. I went to music school here in Auckland to “learn how to make electronic music”  and that’s where I was initially introduced to the idea of creating tracks through a DAW on your lappy. 

There was one assignment in particular where we had to produce like 2-3 songs or something and I remember needing those credits to pass the actual course so I made them 2 nights before the deadline. 

I had noo idea what I was doing but afterwards I was like hell yeah this sounds alright I could do this, this is fun. So from then on I committed to learning more & creating more as a self proclaimed beat maker (looool) There is a certain moment after you sit down with the intention to make a beat or just play around, where you lose yourself in between the speakers and your eyes melt into the screen. 

In this space time doesn’t exist and nothing else matters cause nothing is as captivating or emotional or fucking dope as what is going on in your little area. That’s what inspires me to keep putting my stuff together because that space is a hell of a drug to be addicted to. 

Better than chips even. In regards to your “Ruby” with Troy can you share how you went about the collaboration process and what you enjoyed most about the collaboration?

Troy Samuela is a very special person to me. With this song in particular I was at his house and I’m pretty sure we had just eaten a shit ton of bakery food with money we didn’t have. 

We’d been wanting to work on a track for a while and I can’t remember who initiated it first but we ended up sitting there making something. He was at the desk putting sounds together and I was on the bed saying “yeah na cool gross don’t do that SHITTTT YA ADD THAT na I have a better sample” and blah blah you get the point. 

My favourite part was probably when we finished to be honest because we argue a lot whenever we make music together lol. He is hands down my favourite person to make music with and played a huge role in building my confidence and skill set around production. What do you love most about the collaboration process as a whole? Do you have some favourite collaboration from that past that you think worked together perfectly to create a track? Why you feel that collaboration worked? 

For example Jarule and Ashanti - Then Why it worked?

One of my favourite vocal collabs is Michael Buble & Laura Pausini - You Will Never Find, top 5 easy. 

The way their voices intertwine is something really hard to find and a blessing if you do. A lot of vocalists that work together sit on top of each other or there is a clear winner (you totally know what i mean so don’t judge me) who occupies most of the space in the song. 

This track is one of the very few that is sonically perfect to me, it’s so vivid you can almost physically see how their voices come together effortlessly. It totally worked 10/10 as a vocal duet. You recently collaborated with another Auckland based producer LMC on the track “Sideway Love” which was premiered through Noisey how did this come about and did you write the lyrics for this track? What was this collaboration like for you and what did you learn from the experience?

LMC is a cool guy. He sent this song to me as an instrumental and like Beige, I wrote the lyrics & recorded that night and sent the demo back to him. This collaboration was dope although i had to re record the final version and it took me forever (because life got in the way) to send the final vocals back haha. Liam was so excited for this track to come out and he really deserved that Noisey premiere, he’s grinding! #LMC

Are you working on any projects at the moment that we should keep an eye out for and what can we expect from these projects?

Yes!! Exciting projects! I won’t say much, but I’ve got a collaborative music video coming out soon, a new single in May and a surprise that we’re announcing soon. I. Can’t. Wait. Here at beatsfortheill we have a love for spiritual expression. Can you share what inspires you as a person spiritually and how expressing yourself through music helps you in day to day life?

Spiritually, I like to pray & just let go of things that have the potential to take me over & that take my eyes off the prize. I think I feel things very intensely & as a spiritual person I’ve found refuge in my God and a release through making music, like I explained earlier with beige. Day to day life is real fucking hard, it’s some of the toughest times we’re experiencing as a generation as a whole so music for me has helped me be steadfast in my pursuit of joy & fulfillment in such a chaotic, unsteady time. I’m all for people, not just musicians, finding their spiritual safe place and haven where they feel unconditionally loved, protected, refreshed, joyous (not just happy, know the difference), strengthened and inspired. Any live performances coming up that we should keep an eye out for and what do you love most about preforming live in comparison to recording in a studio?

A couple! Again I can’t say too much right now but I’ll let you know as soon I can :D I like being right in front of people and seeing them listen to the words. I’m fairly new to performing live as a “singer” so it’s all still nerve-racking and confusing to me but I’m working on building my confidence around this. 

In the studio I can have my comforts around me like junk food and dim lighting and I can sit down in sweatpants and a hoodie, but as a performer (female as well) there are pressures to come out of my shell and put on a show.. Which I’m okay with, but for someone who’s preference is to be alone in my studio, this can be a bit daunting at first. Nothing a little practice and persistence can’t change though! Have to mention your track “My Love” your production is on point not to mention that sax, much love. What inspired this tracks creation and what did you enjoy most about putting this track together?

Thank you! That sax is actually a sample taken from a drum kit, but it was originally on an old Omarion song. When I first heard the sample the sax took a seat in my soul and I knew I had to do something with it so I added some drums and stuff while thinking of a melody for vocals. 

I think I enjoyed recording this one the most because I was feeling really upset and needed to get those lyrics out of mind so I could move on. I think once I put the song out it was a huge relief for me and emotionally I was able to let go of some personal things. 

When I listen to that song, it’s now a gentle reminder to myself to never again let myself get into that position I was in as a woman & lover. Musical Recommendations? Xavier Omar. Daley. KEV. Noname. and forever Amy Winehouse Any Last Words Thanks for reading my long ass non structured sentences! also, forgive yourself & others, it’s so important.
