( linny , 25 , he/him , est . )
basics.
NAME: kaia anita james. PRONOUNS: she/her. AGE: twenty-three. BIRTH DATE: february 12th, 2000. BIRTH PLACE: atlanta, georgia. HOMETOWN: new york, new york. CURRENT RESIDENCE: manhattan, new york. NATIONALITY: american. ETHNICITY: black / african descent. RELIGION: non practicing christian. OCCUPATION: singer, songwriter, actress. LANGUAGES: english SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: panromantic.
visual.
FACECLAIM: halle bailey. EYE COLOR: dark brown. HAIR COLOR: dark brown. HEIGHT: 5 feet, 2 inches. WEIGHT: 132 pounds. TATTOOS: none. PIERCINGS: ears. NOTABLE TRAITS: singing voice, hair.
background.
kaia anita james (anita coming from the famous singer, anita baker) was the second born child of the founders of a prominent record label, little sister to gemma james. she was born in atlanta, georgia, but she spent the majority of her life living in new york. her family moved to new york not too long after her first birthday.
growing up around music, it's no surprise that she took to it like a fish takes to water. blessed with a knack for singing, kaia quickly developed a voice of her own from a young age. she loved to visit her parents' record label headquarters, learning the ins and outs of the business and the ins and outs of how to create music.
like her older sister, she fell in love with the art of music, and while it's her main focus and first love, she has dabbled in acting here and there, her first role coming at a very young age. she decided very early in life that music would be her destined career path, but if any opportunities for acting came about, she would leap at them.
she knows she's been blessed financially and with connections, and she doesn't take any of that for granted. she continues to try to be humble and not let her success and fame get to her head.
she's very much so an introverted, closed off person. it takes quite a bit to get through to her heart and establish a place within her inner circle, but once you're apart of her inner circle, you'll more than likely never be booted out.
she's known for her honey like vocals, both with her singing and speaking voice, which has landed her success with her music career, as well as her acting career. it was her voice, paired with her acting skills, that landed her the upcoming roles of ariel in the little mermaid and (young) nettie in the color purple, something she's extremely proud of herself for.
a hardcore workaholic. she's always in the studio working on music, or on set of some production. she hates not being busy, and gets antsy when she doesn't have something productive to do.
possible connections
a few best friends
her first love
paternal or maternal relatives
pr relationship(s)
pr friendship(s)
media fueled rivalry
enemies
frenemies
celebrity friends that are always seen out together (events, award shows, sports games, out shopping, e.t.c)
literally anything?? i’m open to anything and everything!

Vikings - ep1 and 2 analysis
OOOOOOOK! New season, new episode, and here I am again - for probably the last time! - to rant about Vikings!
SPOILERS AHEAD! If you didn't see the last 2 episodes then... GO FUCKING SEE THEM!
Well... What to say, what to say... Let's play Jack the Ripper and slice it in parts... In Nightwish's words, "prepare to hate me..."
Lagertha - The Bitch Kill me. I don't care. I hate her! WHY THE FUCK DID SHE KILL ASLAUG FOR THE CROWN IF SHE-DIDN'T-FUCKING-WANT-THE-DAMN-CROWN? I just can't understand why ruining the fucking balance and hurt Ivar even more - which probably was the reason why this FUCKING MONSTER was created in the first place! - if she would just jump out of the boat in the end and retire like a good farmer. Fuck me, Lags! You were better when you were killing your husband to become an Earl! At least, she had a good reason to act like that and become someone great! Now? She's lost to me. Valhalla is the best retirement. And in this matter? I'm team Ivar. The only good thing about this situation was Björn earning the first of many kicks in his balls of these episodes: no, my dear, mommy won't be by your side now, little boy. FUCKING GROW UP AND... How did Ragnar say to Ubbe? Oh, yeah! BE A MAN! Speaking of the devil...
Ubbe - The Collared Wolf Fine. I thought I would hate him more these first two episodes, but I had a wrong impression of the teasers. At least, for now, I kinda can understand his point about Hvitserk - he's sick indeed, but this is another topic. What I can't understand is this sudden syndrome of momma's boy towards Lagertha. Fuck, my man, she fucking killed your mother, brother! You don't go there and build a damn dollhouse to play home with the woman who fucking killed your family! I mean... You cannot forgive your favorite brother for jumping a damn boat to side with another, but you can gods damn forget the woman who fucking placed an arrow into your mother's back? What the fuck, dude? Where are your priorities? Oh, yes... On your "wanna be Björn" kink... Got it. He became everything Torvi wanted in life: a copy of Björn who wants to raise her children, stay with her, and play home all the time, unlike the original one that was too busy traveling the world - and fucking princesses around - to really think his family was important enough for him to spend time home with it. And more than anything: a copy that she can control, cause it is the second time she just moves her chin up and he does what she wants. Yeah, Ubbe... You quite understood what being a good husband looks like (#no #HELLno!)... Let's just beg the gods that she doesn't go insane, cause good Ubbe cannot deal with insane people, right? Speaking of insanity...
Hvitserk - The Mad Mad Margreth... oops! In two words? POOR PUPPY! Hvitserk seems to be fully lost. And it was clear for me when he spoke about the men that burned Thora. He fully blamed them for her loss and seeing Björn releasing them alive - even banished the way he did - was too much for his heart. He was expecting Björn to allow him to kill them, or to kill them himself and maybe it would have solved Thora's topic in his mind - despite the fact that Ivar is the major responsible for her death. But the way he saw Whitehair and the others going out of those gates alive was too much... Hvitserk now doubts Björn's love for him, he can't understand Ubbe's behavior - and neither can I! I mean, you forgive our mother's murderer but not me??? - and he feels abandoned by both sides, alone. It seems for him that he will never be anything to anyone, not to Ivar - who saw him like a dog and humiliated him - nor to Ubbe - who feeds nothing but contempt for his insane brother the same way he fed contempt for the mad wife he left behind - nor to Björn - who ignored his pain and set free the men who killed the woman he loved. Hvitserk is alone, lost, forgotten, and going down the same hill of self-destruction Ragnar once went through. He's my biggest hope - despite knowing Marco said that Hvitserk "is fucked up" - that somehow this story will have a turn and we won't see a new Ragnar going down into drugs and ending up defeated, killing himself like Ragnar did (Cause tell me whatever you want! Ecbert would have never caught Ragnar and Aelle would have never killed him if it wasn't HIS choice). Now, let's move on to...
Björn - The Super-Wooper-Dooper-Ultra-MOMMA'S BOY!!! Where is Sigurd to spit on his face and call him Momma's Little Favorite? Someone call David and tell him we have one more scene for Sigurd's ghost to do! Not that I never saw this before - I saw, since the beginning! - that Björn was a momma's boy that can't face the world by himself or accept his mother did something that fucked up his brothers' lives and relationship and that she should pay for what she did. But I have to say few things in these episodes were more pleasurable for me than seeing Björn receiving multiple kicks in his damn overused balls! First of all, the amazing domino effect of Lagertha's actions in retiring causing the beautiful baby bear to be all alone at the throne. BEAUTIFUL. Then, Ubbe's carelessness. "Just makes me happy I'm not King." GO-FUCKING-ORGEOUS! The dead Seer (that somehow talks to the living and seems to be Björn's hallucination) even in his own mind, leaving him all alone to make his own decisions. AMAZING! Then Hvitserk's self-consciousness. "I think you're crazy but it doesn't matter for you anyway". I almost had an orgasm. Serious. You fucking wanted the crown. You gods damn fought for it! Now DO IT YOURSELF, LITTLE PRINCESS! I'm really rejoicing to see his arrogant ass being put on its place in this season! But I have to clap my hands and applaud at least one of his actions. I'm here to fuck up his reputation about his mistakes, so I must be here to put in the highlight when he does something good and to go against everyone and answer Harald's cry for help was something good and honored - despite my thoughts and feelings that this is a trap and Olaf didn't steal anything from anyone. As the cherry on top of his cake was Torvi's amazing answer to his credits for the children's raising. "And Ubbe!" I almost peed on my pants laughing! You never wanted to raise your children and be a father, now, admit your brother is occupying your place very well... Speaking of good things and girls...
Torvi - THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IN THESE EPISODES! ALL HAIL QUEEN TORVI, man! She fucking kicked ass in these episodes and I have to thank that girl for kicking the right balls I wanted to kick! While Gunnhild became the calm and cold ruler that's just sitting beside Björn giving him good advice and sewing for her child to come, Torvi fucking took that braid behind Ubbe's head as reins and is guiding the stallion! Hail, girl!! That chin-up of hers is amazing! I laugh out loud when Ubbe put his dick back into his pants and nods like a good dog just because she put her chin up with a mute "Solve it!". Man, the girl was amazing! I loved the few lines she had and I really want to see more of this in this season! Speaking of things I want to see...
Oleg - The... There is a name in human words for such a char? FUCK-ME! AND I MEAN IT! Guy is amazing! Guy-is-fucking-amazing! I just LOVED this man! He's A THOUSAND TIMES better than Headmund and I'm in love! What was that TRUCK that fucking rode over me?? Oleg is incredible! Crazy, like Ivar, but through a WHOLE different way! He takes the fights among brothers to a whole new level and I have to say I LOVED his interaction to Ivar so far. I'm eager for more! GIMME MORE OLEG IN THIS SHIT!! But speaking of Ivar...
I didn't forget to say goodbye to the crippled. What the fuck was Ivar in these episodes? I laughed SO HARD with him! He was amazing! His curiosity, his fear, his tears, his feelings! HIS LAUGHS!!! YAS!!! Fucking human again! Just like I love him! Human! Not a god, not a commander, A HUMAN! Who fears, who shits on his pants when suspended too high, who feels for a man who died saluting his name for loyalty. Who plays with a boy and sits to hear him playing the oud (was it an oud? Idk, but I bet that boy is Sigurd reincarnated just to make Ivar have to tolerate an oud beside him!). This was amazing and I fucking loved the interaction of Ivar with all the things that happened to him since he went through that road. Well, maybe Hvitserk will see this as well and the human-Ivar will attract him back to his side. Maybe not. Idk. I just know that...
Speaking of the whole season start: I'm happy! For the first time since this series entered the boys' phase, I'm happy to see a season starting and so many things that REALLY caught my attention. And I'm really full of hope that Hirst will keep up with this rhythm and offer us a good ending to something that was so enormously loved as Vikings has been since Ragnar. I loved these two episodes, I'm full of energy and all I can say now is...
GIMME MORE!

TikTok Als Ludo-Muzikaal Object
Door Fariel Soeleiman
Nog enkele jaren geleden behoorde ik ook tot de generatie die met de nieuwste sociale media uitdagingen aan kwam wapperen. Maar intussen is er alweer een jongere generatie, namelijk de generatie Z, die het stokje heeft overgenomen, alhoewel ik mij niet kan herinneren het stokje ooit te hebben afgedragen. Het is zo’n “soepel” proces waarin je je bevindt in jouw twintigerjaren en je tot de ontdekking komt dat je ook “ouder” wordt. Hoewel, ik ook heb genoten van sociale media zoals Hyves en Hi5, moet ik eerlijk toegeven dat ik mijn piekjaren heb beleefd met platformen als Facebook en Instagram. Facebook is de afgelopen jaren geleidelijk gezakt in populariteit, maar Instagram, daarentegen, bleef juist bloeien, totdat die ook Facebook voorbijstreef. Ironisch genoeg is Instagram in 2012 overgekocht door Facebook, maar verder ontwikkeld als onafhankelijke app <1>.
Maar sinds een jaar is er een nieuwe app die de wereld heeft veroverd namelijk, de oorspronkelijke Chinese app, TikTok. TikTok, voorheen Musical.ly, is een videoapp waarin muziek een sterke rol speelt. Veel van de videovoorwaarden voldoen aan de wijlen app Vine. Vine was ook een immens populaire video app waarin humor een grotere rol speelde dan muziek. TikTok heeft haar plotselinge roem vooral te danken aan generatie Z en heeft zelfs al een verloren rechtszaak in Amerika aan haar naam hangen vanwege het schenden van privacy rechten van hun minderjarige gebruikers. Maar dat maakt ze op dit moment nog niet minder populair bij diezelfde minderjarige gebruikers <2>. Immers zijn het hun “vervelende ouders” die vooral klagen over de gevaren van de app voor naïeve brugklassers.
De app
Desalniettemin, is TikTok een geliefde mobiele app onder de jongeren van nu. Integendeel, beroemdheden en zelfs bedrijven volgden al heel snel met hun aanwezigheid op dit nieuwe platform. Enkele kenmerken van TikTok die zo aantrekkelijk blijken te zijn, zijn: de laagdrempeligheid van de videobewerking in de app, de integratie van beeld met muziek, de grote kans om viraal te gaan, en natuurlijk alle overige standaard sociale mediamogelijkheden zoals het delen, liken en reageren op elkaars video’s. Ook de interface is heel gebruiksvriendelijk voor jong en oud <3>.
Eén van de vele fenomenen op en van TikTok zijn de dansuitdagingen. Die dansuitdagingen worden uitgevoerd op: nieuwe onbekende nummers, nieuwe bekende nummers, oude onbekende nummers, oude bekende nummers, etc. Wat al enkele keren is voorgekomen, is dat zo’n dansuitdaging ervoor zorgt dat een (nieuwe) onbekend nummer viraal gaat en soms zelfs een officiële hit wordt. Het allereerste nummer waarmee dat gebeurde, was het country-hiphop nummer “Old Town Road” van Lil Nas X. Het nummer genoot plotselinge roem toen TikTokker Michael Pelchat een paar danspasjes met een vleugje humor had bedacht op het nummer en dat had gedeeld op zijn profiel <4>. Zijn TikTok-video sloeg zo goed aan dat meerdere gebruikers de danspasjes op het nummer uitvoerden, het een dansuitdaging werd, het daardoor op de eerste plek verscheen van de “Billboard Top 100” in 2019 en zeker zes weken daar bleef staan <5>.
youtube
Dansuitdaging: Savage Challenge
Eén van de, nog steeds, populaire dansuitdagingen waarop ik zal inzoomen, is de zogeheten #savagechallenge. De reden waarom ik het met een hashtag schrijf, is omdat die een belangrijke rol heeft in de app. Door zo’n tag toe te voegen, kunnen andere gebruikers jouw video ook vinden op de discover-pagina of met de zoekfunctie. Hoe meer mensen dezelfde tag gebruiken, hoe hogerop de tag komt te staan. Er is dan sprake van een trending topic wanneer op sociale media in korte tijd veelvuldig over een bepaald onderwerp wordt gesproken of, in TikTok’s geval, video’s worden gepost <6>. De #savagechallenge is momenteel niet meer trending, maar hypes van tegenwoordig duren maar enkele weken of zelfs dagen.
De #savagechallenge is gecreëerd door TikTok gebruiker @keke.janajaha, beter bekend als Keara Wilson, en gebruikt het nummer “Savage” van Megan Thee Stallion, een nieuwkomer in de muziekwereld. Binnen enkele dagen na de release van haar nummer, plaatste Wilson haar dansuitdaging op haar profiel en promootte die voor vijf dagen achter elkaar in de hoop dat een beroemdheid die zou oppakken en haar choreografie viraal zou gaan <7>. De dansuitdaging sloeg al aan bij andere TikTok gebruikers, maar uiteindelijk was het Stallion zelf die het oppikte en zelf ook een video deelde op TikTok waarin ze Wilsons choreografie uitvoerde. Toen ging het daadwerkelijk viraal en stond TikTok bol van de Savage challenges <8>.

Ludo-muzikaal object
Ludologie is de studie van spel, spelers en de cultuur daaromheen – ook wel game studies. Ludomusicologie is dus gericht op de rol en integratie van muziek in spel. Het spel mag allerlei vormen aannemen: digitaal, online, virtueel, fysiek, het maakt niet uit, zolang het maar samen werkt met muziek zoals onder andere GuitarHero. Maar ook spellen waarvan de muziek wordt beïnvloed door jouw spel gelden bijvoorbeeld in Super Mario Bros en Zelda <9>. Dit zijn de meer traditionele opties wanneer we denken aan spellen, maar er zijn nog een aantal andere soorten spellen die ik met behulp van enkele theorieën zal uitleggen en koppelen aan de TikTok app met de #savagechallenge als mijn casestudy.
Roger Caillois was een Franse socioloog die bekend was vanwege zijn eigenzinnige werk gefocust op spel. In zijn boek Man, Play and Games (1961) borduurde hij voort op de speltheorieën van de Nederlandse culturele antropoloog Johan Huizinga’s boek Homo Ludens (1938). In dit boek beargumenteerde Huizinga dat cultuur voortkomt uit spel en dat de kenmerken hiervan zijn dat: spel niet verplicht is, spel los staat van het dagelijks leven, spel grenzen heeft, spel uitgaat van bepaalde (spel)regels, en dat spel zorgt voor verbondenheid tussen de spelers. Dit alles vond, volgens Huizinga, plaats in de ‘toovercirkel’. De ‘toovercirkel’ heeft te maken met afscheiden van het spel en de “echte” wereld. Bijvoorbeeld, een toneel is een begrensde plek waarin het theaterspel plaatsvindt en daarbuiten vindt de “echte” wereld plaats zoals het publiek en de crewmedewerkers.
Caillois vormde hiermee zijn eigen speltaxonomie en verbreedde het spelbegrip met vier spelcategorieën: agõn (competitie), alea (kans), mimicry (imitatie), en ilinx (duizeligheid). Daar voegde hij nog een onderscheid aan toe namelijk ludus (structuur) en paidia (vrij). Enkele voorbeelden van spellen in deze categorieën zijn te zien in de onderstaande tabel <10>.
Nu ik wat meer achtergrondinformatie heb gegeven over de app TikTok en de speltheorie van Caillois, gaan we ons verdiepen in het ludo-muzikale van mijn casestudy. De dansuitdaging is een korte danschoreografie en heeft enige vaardigheden en/of oefening nodig, voordat je die kan uitvoeren. Hoe beter jouw vaardigheden, hoe sneller je het onder de knie krijgt. Dans kan je plaatsen bij meerdere categorieën, maar de primaire categorie zou zijn ilinx. Een combinatie is mogelijk met mimcry als je bijvoorbeeld karakters uitbeeldt in de dans en/of ook met agõn als je als professionele danser meedoet in danscompetities. In het laatste geval, behoort dans bij ludus, omdat de danscompetities expliciete regels heeft en dus voor structuur zorgt. Maar bij dansimprovisaties tijdens een freestyle avond, zou je dans ook bij paidia kunnen plaatsen.
De #savagechallenge past goed in het type paidia, omdat de uitdagingen voor plezier zijn, maar de gehele aard van de app TikTok neigt vooral naar het viraal gaan. Hierdoor kan je deze uitdaging ook plaatsen bij ludus, omdat Wilson gestructureerd aan de slag is gegaan om haar video viraal te laten gaan. Alhoewel, Wilson haar choreografie heeft bedacht door te improviseren, wat weer verwijst naar paidia, hebben TikTok gebruikers de exacte choreografie overgenomen door middel van oefening en dat verwijst weer naar ludus. Dit omdat de choreografie expliciete danspassen heeft die gevolgd moeten worden om mee te doen met de dansuitdaging. Daarnaast bestaat een uitdaging, in het algemeen, uit een aantal voorwaarden ofwel spelregels. Op basis daarvan passen alle dansuitdagingen op TikTok (inclusief mijn casestudy) in ludus in combinatie met mimcry, omdat de TikTok video pas viraal gaat wanneer veel TikTok gebruikers de video namaken.
Tevens is de ‘toovercirkel’ van toepassing op de #savagechallenge. Zoals ik al eerder vermeldde, heeft de ‘toovercirkel’ te maken met het afscheiden van het spel en de “echte” wereld. Deze dansuitdaging is gecreëerd voor een sociaal (mobiel) medium en daarmee scheid je de #savagechallenge af van de realiteit, omdat die in de virtuele wereld plaatsvindt. In de realiteit dans alleen en ziet niemand jou dansen. Pas als je jouw dansvideo uploadt en deelt met de virtuele wereld van TikTok, dans je “samen” met andere gebruikers en zien anderen dat je ook meedoet. Door jouw zichtbare deelname aan die ene uitdaging, draag je bij aan het viraal gaan van die uitdaging. Dit is dan ook een uitstekend voorbeeld van de participatiecultuur die sterk aanwezig is in hedendaagse media zoals TikTok.
Een andere kant van de ‘toovercirkel’ is de commerciële kant van TikTok. Alhoewel, TikTok oorspronkelijk is gestart als een app voor plezier, zijn er nu ook een aantal TikTok gebruikers die de app gebruiken voor zakelijke doeleinden. Hun TikTok activiteiten behoren nu dus ook tot hun werk. Een voorbeeld hiervan is Michael Pelchat die het nummer “Old Town Road” van Lil Nas X viraal liet gaan met zijn dansuitdaging en in een later stadium een geldbedrag ontving van de artiest als dank. Sindsdien maakt Pelchat betaald TikTok video’s voor artiesten die hun nummer meer bekendheid willen geven <11>. Zo zijn er nog een aantal TikTok gebruikers die geld verdienen aan het maken van (dans)uitdagingen voor artiesten. Volgens Huizinga en Caillois is spel iets fundamenteel anders dan werk en altijd “nutteloos”. Maar doordat deze TikTok gebruikers nu betaald reclame maken voor artiesten en hun muziek, zijn ze eigenlijk aan het “spelen” en tegelijkertijd aan het “werken”. Hierdoor vervaagt het onderscheid in de ‘toovercirkel’.
Al met al is TikTok een multi-inzetbaar platform en een veelzijdig ludomuzikaal object. Een virtuele plek om alle plezier en creativiteit los te kunnen laten samen met anderen, ongeacht leeftijd, en tegelijkertijd de mogelijkheid om ook geld te verdienen in de realiteit aan de participatiecultuur van hedendaagse media.

Italian razor shave video
If you haven't used a brush before, I highly recommend one of the RazoRock Plissoft brushes, their quality and value is second to none. Tips: RazoRock Italian shaving soaps are formulated to be used with a traditional shaving brush. Ingredients: Aqua(Water/Eau), Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera(Coconut) Oil, Tallow Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum (Fragrance), Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Coumarin, Limonene, Linalool. Although not identical to AdP, I think it’s a contender and I think you guys are going to truly love it! For those that know Anthony, it’s only fitting I end this description with a … The scent of this shaving soap was inspired by AdP Oud. The guy is successful, both personally and professionally because he understands the first rule of success… GRATITUDE! If you don’t know Anthony, watch some of this videos, in fact, watch the video below, you will quickly see what I’m talking about. The guy is always going out of his way to help new wet shavers in the community, whether it be sending them generous samples of expensive product or giving them helpful straight shaving tips with his youtube videos. The real reason why I created this Stallion soap is because Anthony’s passion, positive vibes and energy are an inspiration to me. Like Anthony, I instantly fell in love with the scent but man o man, $210 for a 3.4oz bottle ain’t very affordable! Before I met Anthony, I had no clue what an “Oud” was, but his ‘shave of the day’ pictures displaying his bottle of AdP Colonia Intensa Oud, sent (no pun intended) me searching out this fragrance. The lessor reason is because Anthony turned me onto Oud scents. There are a few reasons why I created this soap. This shaving soap is named for my friend Anthony Esposito, also known as “The Stallion” in the traditional wet shaving community.
