#This is about Simon and Volo

[heather-chandlers-weirder-cousin]

I see a blonde and I go ‘ah. You became consumed by your divine ambitions and destroyed yourself in the process, didn’t you’

[wednesdayche]

what if bg3 characters watching the dnd film

▫️fist scene

shadowheart: If I gonna escape from a prison with someone. I hope it's karlach. She can throw me over her shoulder and carry me to safety.

karlach: count it on me, soldier🔥

astarion: usually I'd appreciate a dramatic extrance. But let's keep it low when that day came, darling.

shadowheart: Don't you worry. If we got prisoned, you probably would be beheaded first.

lae'zel: chk. Nobody gonna be a prisoner as long as I stand.

astarion: glad to hear that, dear lae'zel.

▫️Simon appearing

lae'zel: Gale, you are a very helpful wizard.

gale: emmm, well, no idea where that come from

But thank you? glad to be helpful.

astarion: I'd rather replace gale with that boy. At least he's fun.

gale: No one asked your opinion.

astarion: I'd like to share.

▫️Doric appearing

astarion: Seriously, next time you guys decide to adopt another druid, try to pick someone young please. This camp needs some fresh blood. No offence (looking at druids) Oh, she looks delicious.

jaheira: aren't you almost 300 years old, astarion?

astarion: Technically yes but unfortunately I'm a vampire, so I'll be young forever, grandma.

jaheira: fine, it's not every day you can be called grandma by someone whos 100 years older.

astarion: jaheira! I can call you that every day if you like. just, drop the age thing.

▫️Xenk appearing

(everyone turning to wyll)

karlach: ahhh you would be a fine paladin wyll. I can picture you in that shining armor.

astarion: I say there's still a lot that wyll can learn from this guy.

wyll: Nah, me with these horns? a knight from hell probably.

astarion: There. even more reason for you to learn from this guy. just look at the way he walks. Wyll, if you can pick that up, the hell shall be at your feet.

▫️Holga meeting ex

astarion: gosh. Some memories were called up. Karlach, will you consider having a halfing partner? But how would you have sex?

Karlach: shut up astarion. love is beautiful. Race doesn't matter.

astarion: my fault. dear. And trust me, it matters.

...（ten minutes later）

shadowheart: you are still thinking about that, aren't you?

astarion: well I can't help.

karlach: shadowheart! astarion!

▫️ending

gale: you know what, I think our little group might need a bard. Not volo apparently.

shadowheart: Maybe our vampire friend can be the bard. He belongs to the stage. What do you say, astarion?

astarion: of course. what fun!...(you know the line)

（and bard tav exists xxx ）

[notquitehuman-creations]

do y'all have that song/those songs that are just so character/ship coded or is it just me?

examples(aka here's mine I wanna ramble): Teeth by 5SOS for Peter ybg, Laplace's Angel by Will Wood for Volo pla, Hooked by Why Don't We for SoviReich(yes I used to be in the countryhumans fandom shush), Pit of Vipers by Simon Curtis for Mapleshade, Bad Bad Things by AJJ for Hollybreeze, any Mother Mother song for Alenoah except Verbatim that's for Malejando, and I've already talked about Sometimes by Nick Lutsko but add Secrets of Wysteria by Steampianist because that works too

[reblog for bigger range pls! trying to prove a point to myself ^^" thanks!]

bonus if you want: add in the tags if you're neurodivergent and/or queer!

Moving On

Fandoms (this is gonna go in depth with each so they are titles for yee so just scroll past the ones u don't care about)

Soulsborne 🗡

I've beaten all of them except for Sekiro and DS2's DLCs (and the DeS remake but I've played the original)

Bloodborne is my favorite (and also favorite game of all time)

Fav characters consist of Lady Maria, Adeline, Simon, The Hunter, Lucatiel, Aldia, Hyetta, Blaidd, Marika, and Rennala

Speaking of, fav ships are (f or nb) hunter x maria, maria x adeline, lucatiel x (f or nb) Bearer of The Curse, and Marika x rennala

Fav bosses: either laurence or orphan of kos, penetrator, manus, smelter demon, sister frieda, and dragon lord

FNaF 🐻

I've been here since before fnaf world, I'm a veteran 💀

Favorite game is 4 but HW1 is better game play wise imo

Big fan of any nightmares, fredbear, springbonnie, rxq, ennard, funtime foxy, and roxy

As for like human characters, I love both movie and game mike, movie Vanessa, Cassie, and game Vanessa's potential

I like a lot of the big fangames a lot too, my favorites being the DSaF series, FNaC 3, and Super Fnaf.

I think the books suck ass (unless they're the logbook or cookbook <3), and the mimic is fucking stupid and should've just been a digital only thing, w/o a physical robot

I'm just salty about security breach in general

Game Theory/Team Theorist

This is Matpat hate free zone!!!

I've been watching his videos since 2015, this man practically raised me

My favorite channels atm are GTLive and Style Theory lol

I actually like his fnaf theories, not necessarily bc I think they're right but bc they're fun and he presents them in an entertaing way lol

Biggest Ash and Amy fan everytime they're in an episode of smth it's slay. Head editor Dan is super cool too.

Best GTLive series/vids are the murder of sonic the hedgehog, JRs, FNaC 3, Bad End Theater, the FNaF lore off, and Trombone Champ

Pokemon ⚡️

First game was white 2 back in like 2014 I think, my first starter was tepig

Favs of each category are emboar for a starter, white kyurem for legend, genesect for mythical, idrc about the ultra beasts, slither wing for paradox, mega lucario, and volcarona overall

Fav human characters are rika, prof sada/ai sada (same for turo), volo, nessa, Lillie and lusamine, ghetsis, N, all of the gen 5 gym leaders tbh

I also like pmd2 a lot!! It's one of my fav games ever actually

Pokemon Rejuvenation ✨️

I haven't played the most recent chapter 💀💀

I love all the characters a ton honestly but I'm the biggest risa raider fan

Sonic 🦔

This is a recent one and my current hyperfixation lol

Favs are Rouge, Blaze, Amy, Shadow, and Espio

Fav ship is blazamy <3 but my fav platonic relationship is rouge and shadow

I'm currently working a couple AUs so maybe those will be a thing on here evntually

No joke got into sonic bc me and my roommate watched the gt live tmosth playthrough together and we both got hyperfixated

Currently working my way through the games!! I just started though so I'm only on sonic adventure 1 and I haven't started the 2d list at all

Also trying to watch the shows but I've only seen the first few mins of X, and a couple Boom eps. I've finished s2 of Prime though!! Excited for 3!!

Also want to eventually read the idw comics but haven't gotten a chance yet.

All sonic girls are Sapphic btw <3

Hatchetfield 🎶

I've watched a few other starkid shows but these are the only ones I've latched on to

Never seen the show but I have seen the off broadway slime tutorial a decent amount and I own a DVD of the movie

I love!!!!! Veronica Sawyer!!!!!

Chansaw if my fav ship by far I love them but McDuke is also slay and there's definitely reason to ship Veronica with almost any other student in that movie save Kurt and Ram lol

Big fan of the AUs where JD and Veronica are platonic besties ngl

Not a huge fan of the West End version though

I didn't know what emoji to out here bro

Sea of Stars 💫

Played it for the first time in December of 2023 and fell in love omg

Seraï is my fav love her <3

Every woman in that game loves women fr

I have lots of thoughts about the bosses I'll post about them someday

God this took me 2 hours I'm gonna go to bed now 💀

[rogue-of-broken-time]

In Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, when Edgin buys the painting for the heist sequence, you don't see much of what he actually bought without looking at it closer:

See that smile?

That's Volo. Yknow. Of Volo's Guide To Monsters fame.

Yknow where else he shows up?

Baldur's Gate 3. Taking notes on goblin behavior, actually, when you first meet him.

AND

At the start of Act II of Baldur's Gate 3, you meet "an old friend" of Gale's (and/or hear about him, a bit earlier in the story if you got the passive flavor text like I did).

This friend is none other than Elminster Aumar.

If that surname sounds familiar to you, that's because it should.

He's Simon's ancestor.

[vibrating] I love the connectivity of the Dungeons and Dragons universe a normal amount

[chaserainbows]

actually since i’m in a rapid fire ooc posts mood i am IN THE MOOD to write about haruki’s opinion of volo lucian and simone are restoring my brainrot

Forever ‘til the end of time: An Anna x Bates + Eurovision Playlist

YouTube Playlist Here

Uniting my loves of Anna x Bates and the Eurovision Song Contest! I've got absolute bangers, cheesy bops, classic chansons, and heartfelt ballads. Every song is about your OTP if you try hard enough, but I tried to narrow it to the ones I feel fit the canon the most. They are in loose order of series; yes, there's a lot of weather related lyrics thanks to those S5-S6 press releases and interviews talking about storms, clouds, and finally the mist lifting. And of course, nods to the iconic dialogue.

The songs span the history of the contest. Also included are some songs from national finals and selections, as well as a few other songs by ESC artists (you might recognize some hitmakers!). I'm using YouTube over other services because it's the easiest way to make sure all songs will play for everyone and are available in general. (Some songs were included in older A/B mixes I had on 8tracks back in the day; this particular playlist has been one I've been building for years in various forms lol).

•Adult/Minor shippers DNI

•DNI if you are aphobic, panphobic, or really any kind of LGBTQ+phobic//exclusionist.

•All my family F/Os besides Dmitri and Fawn are through adoption//found family unless marked otherwise.

•I view Michael Afton (FNAF Games) and Mike Schmidt (FNAF Movie) as two completely separate and different characters.

•Vivianne is my canon V from my playthrough of "Cyberpunk 2077"

•The relationship with Evan is complicated. But, basically, the reason he is listed as both son and sibling is he looked up to my S/I as an older sister figure. Then, down the road, as a mother figure when she became his guardian. (Be it in canonverse, where she becomes a spirit in one of the Toy Animatronics and watches over him even in death, or my own personal "everyone-lives" type AU where Michael grows up and gets custody of Evan, later marrying my S/I)

•Abby is kinda the same thing.

•Ya'll just ask me about my relationship with Travis if you have any questions. I didn't wanna make an enemy/frienemy tab JUST for him but there is a long ass story there.

•Not sure if this would be an issue anyway but I'm nipping it in the bud before it becomes one. The ship name for me and Guillermo comes from a Mexican vampire legend. We are BOTH of Mexican heritage so please don't try and call me out for this.

[jordemme-draws]

Alright I doodled it during my shift !

Tbh I feel like it would be a big mess but it was funny to think about. The vibe in my brain whenever two Volos meet is the bit from Fionna and Cake with the Winter King and Simon.

It gets tempting to doodle your Volo wins!Volo interacting with my Giratina!Volo and introducing their respective Champion/Warden.

(But also I feel like there's a strong risk Volo would not play nice with an alternate version of himself that failed)

you totally have permission if you want to! he’s just got like the general god outfit fan redesign going on. and i honestly think the champion would be the unfriendly one towards alternate versions of herself and/or volo, she already has enough existential horror to repress and that would not help

[bazzybelle]

8, 11, 18 for the behind the scenes ask!!

THANK YOU SWEETIE FOR THE ASK!! 💜💜💜💜

8) Do you listen to music while you write? If so, share a song that’s been inspiring you lately.

YESSSSS! I'm such a dork and I'm in love with music so yes! I have my Spotify opened all the time when I'm writing.

So there have been a few songs that have been inspiring me for the Remix fic I'm working on, but to share them would give out spoilers, so I'm gonna refrain from that. Instead, I'm gonna share some songs from my Renaissance Fic playlist:

The Shade - Metric

We Are Love - Il Volo

Cosmic Love - Florence and the Machine

Us - Regina Spektor

The Only Exception - Paramore

11) If you could only write angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Between fluff and smut... I enjoy writing both, and I'm not terrible at either... I would like to get better at smut writing, so I'm gonna say SMUT.

18) What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

Right... so I got asked this question 3 times, so I'm gonna give 3 different answers (because I'm practicing self love and acceptance).

So this line comes from "Speak My Language of Love". I wrote this fic for my very dear friend, @carryonsimoncarryonbaz , so there are a lot of little nuggets that I threw in specifically for her, including the line mentioned here. This is a Carry On trope that both of us love..

From Simon's POV:

"I love to touch him often because the way his heart jumps when I do, reminds him that he's alive.

So alive"

My absolute favourite trope is Simon stating, and reminding Baz that he's alive. Baz Pitch is alive, and my heart breaks thinking about how he doesn't believe that. So, I become really happy everytime fics have Simon explaining that Baz is alive.

The theme of this fic was love languages and using different methods to express yourself. Simon is not good with words, he uses actions to express himself. In my head, he would use actions to remind Baz that he is alive, and making Baz feel his own heart beating out of joy or excitement is a very Simon Snow way of doing just that.

I also liked having Simon initiate touching and feeling Baz because it gives him a sense of control and agency (which, coincidentally, was the first conversation CSCB and I had together).

MERCI!

From THIS ask thing!

ESC 2019 Preshow #09

09. ITALY Mahmood - “Soldi” Autoqualifier

👏SOL 👏 DI 👏 SOL👏 DI 👏

ENTRY ANALYSIS

Much like Jonida, Mahmood sort of slipped for me when I grew more attached to other songs, but that does not mean he’s not fucking amazing! I, too, fell in love with “Soldi” on first listen when I noticed the lyrics rhymed “Ramadan” with “Jackie Chan”. 😍 😍 😍 😍. 

Other amazing things about “Soldi” include: the 👏 use 👏 of 👏 clapping 👏 as 👏 punctuation 👏, the ~Iconic~ lines in Arabic during the middle eight and the wonderful message. It was the FIRST SONG IN THIS YEAR WHICH MADE ME SHED A TEAR!!!  😭😭😭 I don’t know how or why, but I listened to the song with translated lyrics and it just *clicked* for me. I WAS LYING SICK IN BED WITH THE FLU, OKAY. Forgive me my momentary weakness!!!

So is it any wonder “Soldi” was greeted with near-unanimous critical acclaim and support? No, of course not. It’s a fantastic song and 100% deserved to win San Remo!

...

okay, so San Remo...  I did *NOT* watch it but I’m aware of Irama, Loredana and Simone, so consider those the reps if I had bothered with an NF corner. Ideal Husband Material, Blue-haired Rocker Hag and Random Dude Who Reads Poetry (not sings. reads.) respectively <3

Slated to win San Remo this year was Ultimo, who entered San Remo with some pretentious piano ballad called “I tuoi particulari” which as the name implies was particularly boring. God what a yawnfest. However, it as also the audience favourite somehow? Him?

So, the juries marked it down just enough so ‘Soldi’ won instead because again, BORING don’t work. Ultimo, instead of being like “well I lost, but oh well, I wasn’t going to Eurovision anyway*”, showed his true Salvador colours by throwing a temper tantrum on social media and spent the entire press conference uglysobbing about how quality was denied (his own words! He refered to *himself* as quality!).

(*he said he would never do Eurovision because he believes it is Eurovision is beneath him 😬)  Oh and some right-wing Forza politicians chimed with their usual drivel that Mahmood was unfit to represent Italy because Mahmood is gay & half-arabic while Italy is a vafanculo blob of fragile masculinity which can only be properly represented by drug-riggen, ugly-tattoo’d brats. Guess what? WE 👏 DON’T👏 CARE. 👏 FOR YOUR 👏 MODERN TIME 👏 PREACHIN’  👏 FORTUNATELY, Mahmood agreed to do ESC (after a week long thinking period lol) and all was well in this world . 👏 ANOTHER VICTORY FOR QUALITY  👏

Edit note: it has become apparent that my brash and snarky assesment was largely malinformed, but user @wingednerdydude​  provided a pretty detailed summation of the situation. 

It’s a quite long explanation I’ll put a tl;dr to appease the fans:  Ultimo did indeed not take the loss well, but the media also took an off-hand comment he made about Mahmood out of context and he retaliated, which led a lot of a unnecessary drama and mutual poo-slinging. It’s not just the ESC fans that overdramatize shit, who knew. 

For those who want to read it:

Ultimo never insulted Mahmood or said one single bad thing about him or that his song was better than Soldi, let's make this clear from the start. It's also true that he never even said anything complimenting him or his song. Mahmood actually said he never spoke to him nor heard from him in any way. The only thing Ultimo ever said is that he is happy for Mahmood and his success, that's it. If Ultimo really did compliment him then I never read or watched such interview

The mess during Sanremo's press conference blew up right when Ultimo said he was happy for (I'm quoting) "the other ragazzo, Mahmood". Ragazzo is a really neutral term in Italian, it just means young man, I wouldn't know how to traslate it. The journalists found it "insulting" for some weird reason (Mahmood actually said he thinks it's a totally okay term) and said Ultimo was disrespecting him. More context: Ultimo clearly was disappointed about his 2nd place

The press knew it and since the moment he entered the press room they literally started rubbing his missed victory in his face and kept asking him "yeah, but don't you think you should have won?". Ultimo eventually got pissed like mad and rightfully so. They were literally trying to make him lose his temper because they knew he had a bad character and was disappointed. They wanted a scoop and they got it.

Ultimo told the journalists that they were just trying to get an article out of it and that any thing he would say, they would turn it into something else. Then he said (quoting) "I'm fucking done with you". Boom, all of the press room went crazy and started throwing insults at him (sore loser, shit, bastard, ungrateful etc...). At some point Mahmood entered the room and the situation got chill again. By the way, look at the Il Volo guys while he speaks. They agreed.

Which takes us to the next step: why did Ultimo explode like that? I'll get ther: the day after there was a tv program the contestants were supposed to take part in. Ultimo didn't show up. It was full of journalists who obviously insulted him, they showed the clip of Ultimo insulting the press. One of the journalists though, she gave no fucks and just said the things as they were: and that is, the press insulted him. Not only after Ultimo's insults, but also earlier.

Ultimo wasn't the only artist who got insulted: the guys from Il Volo were too, during their performance and while the results were being announced (everyone cheered cause they hadn't won). The journalist says there were clips of it. Ups, looks like they "couldn't show them". Funny how they found Ultimo insulting journalists, but not the opposite. And those videos exist. In particular, there was a video of Ultimo being insulted by press, days before

There were a lot of talks, clickbaity articles written etc... Ultimo tried speaking in a video he posted and told his point of view. Now, mind you, I don't agree with some of the stuff he said. He said that he was sad about the whole thing and that it had been blown out of proportion, his words twisted to show him like the bad guy. And this is true if you read what I wrote. About the results: he was pissed because he had won the televote by a very large margin but lost.

Here I think he was really wrong, cause those are the rules, jury and televote results add up to the final result, it's maths. It may be disappointing, but that's how it is. Still, he was sad that people had to PAY to vote and their votes didn't matter in the end to choose the actual winner. Debatable. But he did make a good point about one thing: the jury votes are made of the votes of some experts (they're like 10 and actually often are people with no music knowledge)

 And the rest of the jury votes are journalists. Now, wait a second: the same journalists who threw personal insults at him and Il Volo for no reason if not a personal anthipathy were the ones deciding if they could win or not. Now this is interesting, cause the jury is supposed to be unbiased. His complaining about this is just right in my opinion, something should have been done about it (journalists faced no consequences for their insults to contestants).

This is where the whole thing ended. Ultimo just asked not to speak about it again, Sanremo's week has now well passed and everyone moved on, so that's literally all. I hope I was of some help to better understand the situation. And please guys, no fighting, let's just enjoy Mahmood's song.

 AND LET US NEVER SPEAK OF HIM EVER AGAIN!!!!!! ~moving on~

Autoqualifier Odds: very good

The most important thing one has to take away from “Soldi” is that it’s a fucking excellent song. There’s a reason it received near-universal critical acclaim from all sources.  

But, as the saying goes, it’s not the song but what you do with it. Mahmood is making great ~live performance progress~ as more pre-parties are showing his growing expertise, but at the same time I feel like everyone has sort of forgotten about him as a potential winner? Actually my friends posited the idea that Mahmood might be a Jamala-esque winner (by finishing second in both jury AND televote) and I think that is an intriguing possibility we should consider! If Duncan somehow doesn’t come through (and he won’t because Expected Winner’s Curse), it will be Mahmood who shall pick up the pieces and win instead. (unless the audience wants to go for the novelty act again, in which case Hatari or Bilal will win) I recognize that Mahmood could go down the usual Italy trajectory and be sandbagged by juries into a mid top 10 placement, I guess. I don’t want to get my hopes up and overrate his odds like I did with Gabbani. Even under the worst circumstance, Mahmood is definitely finishing somewhere in the top 10 though, as all Italian men (fragile or not) do. 

Projected placement: 1st-8th in the Grand Final.

——-

Hosts & Guests

This years’ hosts will still be the singer Claudio Baglioni (who choose the songs taking part into this Sanremo), a TV and radio host, impersonator and actress Virginia Raffaele, and an actor, TV and radio host and comedian Claudio Bisio. It seems the latter two will be the actual hosts, while the first one will mostly appear to sing as the latest year. Some of the guests might be the singers: Riccardo Cocciante, Antonello Venditti, Fiorella Mannoia, Eros Ramazzotti, Luciano Ligabue, Marco Mengoni, Andrea Bocelli with his son Matteo, Giorgia, Elisa and Alessandra Amoroso, but also Tom Walker and Luis Fonsi. Also Michelle Hunziker and Pierfrancesco Favino (last year’s hosts), Pippo Baudo and Fabio Rovazzi (Sanremo Giovani’s -newbies- hosts), Laura Chiatti, Claudio Santamaria, Serena Rossi and Michele Riondino (actors) are rumored to be there.   I’m not sure about who will be there on what night tbh (excpet Elisa should perform on saturday while Bocelli tonight).  After the evening, there will be the usual Dopofestival, to spaek about performances and songs.

How it works

Differently from last year, this year there wll be 24 singers: no “young/newbies” section will be present. The 2 winners of the “newbies” competition held at the end of 2018, will sing a new unheard song, according to the rules of Sanremo. The winner of the competition will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest: if he/she won’t accept, the choice will be another artist, usually the 2nd classified.

Day 1 - All the 24 singers will perform. Day 2 - 12 singers out of the 24 will perfom. Day 3 - The remaining 12 singers will perform. Day 4 - Duets night: all the singers will sing their songs with the help of other artists (singers or actors or dancers) that aren’t taking part to Sanremo this year. The songs might have a different arrangement or not. Here all the partecipants accompanied by the name of their own “supporter” artists for this night:

Achille Lauro – Morgan Anna Tatangelo – Syria Arisa – Tony Hadley and Kataklò Boomdabash – Rocco Hunt and the Musici Cantori di Milano Daniele Silvestri – Manuel Agnelli Einar – Biondo Enrico Nigiotti – Paolo Jannacci and Massimo Ottoni Ex-Otago – Jack Savoretti Federica Carta and Shade – Cristina D’Avena Francesco Renga – Bungaro and Eleonora Abbagnato Ghemon – Diodato and Calibro 35 Il Volo – Alessandro Quarta Irama – Noemi Loredana Bertè – Irene Grandi Mahmood – Guè Pequeno Motta – Nada Negrita – Enrico Ruggeri and Roy Paci Nek – Neri Marcorè Nino D’Angelo and Livio Cori – Sottotono Paola Turci – Giuseppe Fiorello Patty Pravo and Briga – Giovanni Caccamo Simone Cristicchi – Ermal Meta Ultimo – Fabrizio Moro Zen Circus – Brunori Sas Day 5 - All the singers will perform again their songs and after midnight we’ll know the winner.

Partecipants and songs:

Federica Carta and Shade, “Senza farlo apposta” Patty Pravo and Briga, “Un po’ come la vita” Negrita, “I ragazzi stanno bene” Daniele Silvestri,“Argento vivo” Ex-Otago, “Solo una canzone” Achille Lauro, “Rolls Royce” Arisa, “Mi sento bene” Francesco Renga, “Aspetto che torni” Boomdabash, “Per un milione” Enrico Nigiotti,“Nonno Hollywood” Nino D’Angelo and Livio Cori, “Con un’altra luce” Paola Turci, “L’ultimo ostacolo” Simone Cristicchi, “Abbi cura di me” Zen Circus, “L’amore è una dittatura” Anna Tatangelo, “Le nostre anime di notte” Loredana Bertè, “Cosa ti aspetti da me” Irama, “La ragazza con il cuore di latta” Ultimo, “I tuoi particolari” Nek, “Mi farò trovare pronto” Motta, “Dov’è l’Italia” Il Volo, “Musica che resta” Ghemon, “Rose viola” Einar, “Parole Nuove” Mahmood, “Soldi”

The line - up for Sanremo 2019

Busy day for Eurovision as the line - up for the 69th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival has been announced! And since I’m Italian I think I’ll have A LOT to say about this line - up. Will it be good or bad? The answer will be below. 

Many familiar and not familiar faces will compete this year in Sanremo starting off with Paola Turci which comes back after last year’s fifth position in the contest with the song “Fatti Bella per te” (look beautiful for yourself). I personally like Paola Turci despite she is one of the most underrated artists in Italy. The song that she will present this year is called “L’ultimo ostacolo” (the last obstacle). Simone Cristicchi comes back after winning Sanremo seven years ago in the newcomers' category with the song “Ti regalerò una rosa” (I will gift you a rose) a song that I love and make me think a lot everytime I listen to it, this year however, Cristicchi comes back to Sanremo with the song “Abbi cura di me” (Take care of me) . While I talked about two comebacks, it will be the first time in Sanremo for Zen Circus , a group that I honestly don’t know anything about it, hence I’m really curious to see what they will bring to the table for this edition. The song they will sing will be “L’amore è una dittatura” (Love is a Dictatorship). The most awaited comebacks for me are definitely the ones made by Il Volo which represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 in Vienna with “Grande Amore” (Big Love)  and Nek runner-up in Sanremo in the same year with the song “Fatti avanti amore” (Come forward, love). Partially because of a bit of a competition that arises between the two in 2015 and partially because Nek has been one of my childhood artists and in my honest opinion always made quality music. Other names that I’m happy to see are Negrita, Daniele Silvestri,Ultimo,Arisa, Mahmmod nd Francesco Renga, while the ones that I’m not so happy to see (despite I recognized them as monsters of the Italian music) are: Loredana Bertè, Patty Pravo (in a duet with rapper Briga) and Nino D’angelo. In conclusion, this year’s line up , is an okay line - up . There are many big and prestigious names , industry newcomers (such as Ultimo,Irama and Einar) and a few underground names, which makes it a really balanced line-up, but a quality line - up? Too early to say.

 Who will be the rightful successor of Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro in representing Italy at Eurovision in May? We shall see it once all of the songs will be realised to the public and later in February at Sanremo’s Music Festival!

Love so many things about your Cyrus but right now I'm really appreciating the thought you've put into his parents and their relationship, the whole family dynamic is fascinating to read about

Blessed Simone

You’ve no idea how sweet this is ahh�� I’m someone who is really, really family oriented and so the family and relatives of characters I write sort of naturally follow suit with that? Even if I never intended for them to be involved in any major way, it just seems to happen (aka, I never thought I’d seriously take on writing Cyrus’s parents, nor Hikari’s for that matter but – here we are). Fauve and Noboru were exactly this, just basic character concepts to help flesh out Cyrus’s backstory that just… Grew and grew with time.  Sure, I tend to write… Broken homes, but it’s what feels the most near and dear. A little secret, however, is this; even if the relationship of say Fauve and Noboru isn’t a good one – I will never, ever say that they don’t love each other. Because they truly do, their love for each other has never dwindled but the circumstances surrounding them and the choices that they have made in life are what’s led them to be where they are today. Sometimes you can’t chose another path, but you decide to stick together regardless. No matter how hard it is. And I know I’ve rambled this at you in private but it bears repeating pfft – they are suffering in their own ways, and don’t deal with things the best and perhaps should’ve just talked about it all rather than kept it hidden behind lock and key but… That’s the path their lives took. And sometimes we don’t get that happy ending.

Listen I can stomach an unhappy marriage but I can’t stomach a bad marriage where there’s no love involved okay SOBS.

Ahem, moving on from that tho… Fauve and Noboru are the two most prominent family members I’ve presented on Cyrus’s side, with his mother taking the spotlight most of the time; but we can’t forget about another special family member of his.  That’s right. The myth, the man, the legend himself… Charon. I know this isn’t about him because I haven’t presented much about him other than That One Post but… I just wanted to lay mention to him, because I think his dynamic with Cyrus is equally interesting and unique and I really, really want to lay it out further sometime in the future – which I hope will actually be as interesting as I personally feel it is. But. Simone ;; Doki doki at you… I’m glad my weird oc style parents tickle your fancy, it means the world to me to hear that from you.

(Know that I adore the dynamics you write too – be it Buson and Bashou’s friendship, which is SO complex and amazing I truly do adore them. You took them and ran a mile with so little information and its so admirable – to, most recently, the peeks I’ve gotten into Volo and Cogita. Your brain? Massive, amazing, wonderful. I stan.)

Press Release:

GDS is pleased to announce Teras Terra, a two-person exhibition by Athens-based artists Lito Kattou and Petros Moris, opening on Saturday, 11 July 2020, 19.00H.

Formed by theories of non-anthropocentric points of view, Lito Kattou develops a new series of aluminum hybrid figures, a combination of bodily, mechanical and ethereal appearances, that question the idea of how contemporaneity thinks about bodies and its relationship with the natural environment. The works engage with the sculptural potentiality of flatness, processes of embodiment and the transfigurations of material properties within the margins of time and space. Imagery on their aluminum surface hints to their inner world, origins and characteristics. These entities extend through the space, accompanied by various elements frozen in time via thermochemical elaborations that represent a physical reminder of nature, or what used to be.

Petros Moris presents a series of geological landscapes that explore the stratifications of the material, the technological and cultural environments, along the fateful interrelations between natural and social phenomena. Stimulated by symmetrical structures, abstract compositions that resemble faces or masks weave together the social construct of time with geological materiality and digital fabrication. Working with marble sourced from quarries in Aliveri, Ritsona, Tinos and Volos, the artist utilizes archaic techniques and contemporary technologies to develop wall-based inlay works that employ the painterly aspects of marble in order to assemble word-based palindromes and anagrams. Embedded into geological matter, these language-constructs reconfigure and fracture perceptions of meaning, materiality and time.

Lito Kattou and Petros Moris create works in dialogue that explore the entangled and transformative relationships between geological matter, language, bodies and subjectivity. Configured through both the embracing and the distancing from anthropocentric perspectives, the exhibition narrates a nonlinear account of juxtapositions and assemblages of cultural and material time.

  Lito Kattou (b. Nicosia, 1990) is a visual artist based in Athens. She is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London with an MA in Sculpture and the Athens School of Fine Arts. Kattou is the recipient of the Ducato Prize 2019 and the New Positions Award for Art Cologne 2018 and she was the invited artist for the 89plus Google Residency curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Simon Castets at the Google Cultural Institute in Paris, 2017. Lito Kattou´s practice negotiates understandings of materiality and subjectivity through a composition of practices, spanning from digital fabrication to thermochemical elaborations. Engaging with the sculptural potentiality of flatness, the artist explores the limits of and the relationship between sculpture and painting. The works examine what comes before and after the body, the possibility of its presence and absence, its representation and its abstraction, as well as its relationship to the natural environment.

Petros Moris (b. Lamia, 1986) is an artist living in Athens. He is a graduate of the Goldsmiths University of London and the Athens School of Fine Arts. He was an artist in residence at Delfina Foundation in 2020, an ARTWORKS fellow in 2018, an Onassis Foundation Scholar, and has been nominated for the Deste Prize 2015. His work explores the dynamics between manifestations of memory, entropic processes, and the anthropogenic concept of the future. This inquiry looks at the stratifications of geo-archeological matter, infrastructural networks, ancient and urban mythology, as well as the fateful intersections between natural and social phenomena. His practice develops mainly through sculptural production and writing, as well as through a network of artistic, curatorial and publishing collaborations.

[gringoslur]

So, after some discourse™ about Yastin Biver and the remix of “despacito”, talking with other latines, i realized that gringxs feel like we need to “thank” their artists because they talked two sentences in one of our languages, meanwhile latine artist are killing everyone by just being talented af. I wanted to make a little post praising some (let’s be honest, if we list every latine that fits here, we will have a bible) of the latine artists that are fucking awesome in more than one language:

Ricky Martin/puertorriqueño: (español) (english) (português) (italiano) (français) (spanglish) the last one is not a language but i just love it so much.

I included the last ones because they at least know the lyrics of the song, even if their accents are not perfect :) )

There’s people that honestly believe that we don’t like the remix because we don’t like “gringxs” singing in our languges or because we don’t accept them because they have accents (arguments from gringxs. Like, en serio?) Anyways,i’m gonna share with you some non-latine artists that sang in our languages that are knew and loved in latinoamerica:

Demi Lovato/estadounidense

Celine Dion

Andrea Bocelli (italian)*

Mariah Carey (estadounidense)*

Laura Pausini (italian)*

Robbie Williams (british)

Orquesta De La Luz (japanese)*

Extra: latin american version of other songs, because they are....better: shape of you* / thinking out loud* / the beast and the beauty (bachata)* / all of me* / love yourself* / despacito / paisaje / paisaje (cumbia) / je l'aime a mourir

*: means that they have more songs in that language.

If you are latine, please add more songs!
