Backline to Music In My Ears 2- Nas: The Magic 2 Album

Nas out with Magic 2

When a Hip-Hop and Rap icon drops a new joint we’ve got no choice but to listen. Moreover when it is by one with a Nigerian affiliation even if by name alone, then we’ve got no choice than to loud it here on Music In My Ears. Nasiru Bin Olu Dara Jones, better known as Nas dropped Magic 2 his sixteenth studio album on the 21st of July 2023 as a follow up to the 2021 album Magic. The album is also…

you cannot tell me jeremy wasn’t turned on when jean casually handled both him and the scrimmage

[leapdayowo]

Anyways, what?

still such a funny and iconic moment haha omg :3

Also here’s a concept for a docm77 design :D

I’m considering different designs, and this one has more round shapes and such which I think I like?

Smollusk fan octoling design. Not so much aged up but more as if it or Marina made an avatar for it.

Kinda uncanny and awkward with new people, death threats are how it bonds <3

Clips of the LoZ Splatfest Tricolor map are out and there's this one specific clip that shows Crab's reach and it's so funny

I am gonna turn your fucking triangle into a 3 minute boss rush boxing arena. It's what Ganon would have wanted

I will never get over the parallels in aftg. Neil is a rabbit that becomes a fox. He spends his whole life running and the second he’s backed into a corner, he grows teeth. As a striker he’s constantly running and maneuvering and avoiding, but to win against the Ravens, Andrew has him be a backliner. To win, Neil can’t just run anymore, he has to defend, has to stand his ground and use teeth and claws and every ounce of himself to protect what he’s earned. And Andrew is apathetic right? He wants nothing, no one. He’s the goal keeper and sometimes he can’t even be bothered to block the shots. But when that racket comes down towards Neil’s head, Andrew is there. To protect what he *wants* he has to go towards it. He has to make the move himself. Neil chooses to defend and Andrew chooses to want and they become more

I love perfect court AU stuff if for no other reason than Kevin and Jean are like 6’2” and Neil is 5’3” but he is 100% always more willing to start and finish a fight than them

Backline to Music In My Ears 1 : Mr Leo Sayer

This is a special tribute to a living legend and my very first favorite artiste Leo Sayer.

It is a great pleasure to introduce a sub-series to Music In My Ears called The Backline to Music In My Ears or Backline in a short form. This will take care of personal musical experiences that may not be of Nigerian origin, but however were instrumental or contributed to shaping what we are doing today. So, don’t be surprised if we write on the first person point of view on this series. Our…

all moira mains have been there

he will never ever ever admit it out loud but sometimes neil feels a sort-of sadness/regret/nostalgia about who he could've been if he'd grown up in the ravens/in his father's business. when he disregards his abuse, and the way his parents treated him, he dreams about it a lot. he blames his mother sometimes because yes, sure, he would be in a dangerous business, but it was secure insofar as his father was trusted and reputable. mary caused so much added fear and paranoia and danger for neil by running. it was his father's business, one he was very good at. it was the purpose laid out for nathaniel from birth.

if neil had always been his fathers apprentice, if he’d been perfect court from the start, how much better of a player would he be, having been a raven? what kind of a person would he be? would he have turned into someone like riko, or someone like kevin? could he have stopped riko from breaking kevins hand? could he have saved jean from his abuse, or would he have been apart of it? that's the part that's difficult - if he'd grown up in his father's world, he would've grown up into his father. and neil does not like that side of himself. he does not like that he has the capacity for evil. he's scared of what he is capable of, sometimes, remembering what he inherited from his dad. so would he like to say he would've been different, that he wouldn't've participated in rikos bullshit? yes. can he? no. because he does not know what kind of a person he would've become if he'd grown up under his fathers wing. he's glad that didn't happen, of course, but he does still feel something everytime he thinks about how things would've worked out if he'd followed the path his father intended to put him on.

I need the rest of the backliners who assaulted Jean to be named, I just want to have a little word with them 🔫

[hannahvardit]

so luxurious

[be-queer-do-arson]

I like to think Neil still plays as a backliner sometimes because just imagine the power duo he and Andrew would make. The best goalie in exy history combined with the fastest player in the league, and on top of all that they communicate with each other flawlessly through body language and eye contact alone while remaining unreadable to anyone else. They'd be the most intimidating power duo exy has ever seen.
