#also u shawn and ed

[bisluthq]

You think Taylor is taking sides (presumably Sabrina’s) in this whole mess or staying out of it? Funny thing is she was on Gracie’s song where she talks about being jealous over Sabrina with Dylan lmao but seems to be very supportive of and friends with both, obviously both tour openers. But she’s been friends/friendly with Camila for a long time since she opened for rep tour along with Shawn Mendes and Charli XCX 😭 and Shawn and Camila were at eras, and Camila brings her up all the time probs mostly for attention. I feel like she doesn’t take sides unless she has other reason for beef with the other involved like with Olivia and Sabrina perhaps, and is down to hate men on others behalf like Shawn or Dylan O’Brien. But I could see her listening to Gracie and Sabrina talk about Dylan and the other girl, and to Sabrina and Camila talk about Shawn and each other, and just being like “yess I totally understand how u feel I fully support you and your perspective is 100% correct” to each lol

yea I really get the sense that she doesn’t take sides beyond hating on the guys with the girls and I think she’s perfectly capable of being friends with multiple people who don’t all necessarily like one another. She was able to stay friends with both Lena and Jack and Ella so if she navigated that I somehow doubt she’d struggle in this mess.

She does seem to perhaps have a problem with DOB but my guess there would be because she doesn’t see his perspective and she finds it ironic and gross that he acted like Jake after playing Jake. “Fuck the patriarchy”, keychain on the ground vibes making her 🙄🙄 lol. But that’s a specific situation like if he’d been involved with a friend or two of hers but not acted THAT way, I doubt she’d be bovvered. Ed for instance worked his way through a lot of her friend group when he was single and she wasn’t cross with him about it idkkkk.

Also I still don’t believe she has a full on issue with Olivia like beyond business wise she wanted money from a fellow #1 artist who was using her name for promo. She got competitive (which isn’t a problem) and she wanted money (which was her prerogative) and I think as jarring as that was for Olivia like… such is life.

Anyway, I think Taylor is a good friend and is friends with multiple people and tends to take the girl’s side in romantic dramas but also has male friends she sticks with and I don’t think she’s an evil bitter bitch lmao.

Hello! homer 📖, cigarette 🚬, and piano 🎹

Heyyy

homer 📖: is it more important to be brave or to be kind? do you like to read?

I think both things are related at some point because if you are a kind person but you aren’t brave enough to stand up for yourself or your convictions is useless at some point, and you could be so brave but you must be kind too to remain humble otherwise you can turn into someone reckless. I love to read, I have two personal records that I’m so proud: 25 books read in one summer and around 700 pages in one day 🤓 lately I haven’t time to read things I want because of the studies 😔

cigarette 🚬: what is your worst habit? do you like drinking? do you party a lot?

Procrastinate, I always leave everything for the last minut idk why but I need the rush and the adrenaline, I feel i work better under pressure, also think that my pov is always the right, I’m a very stubborn person. Yes I like a lot actually 😬, not only at parties but when I’m eating with my family too. And yes I love partying too, I went out every weekend since the start of classes until Halloween that was my last, I’ve staying at home due to studies and the cold the last 3 weeks but I feel the abstinence 😆

piano 🎹: what’s your favourite musical genre? do you play any instruments? who’s your favourite artist?

Lately I’ve been listening a lot of indie rock, but I like it in every genre too. Also I like a lot pop and folk. Yes I do I play guitar, drums, ukelele, I know a blues base on the armonica and in the school I learnt to play the flute, also I know some notes on the piano and I sing badly but with passion 😌. My favourite artist always change but to name some are catb ofc, Harry styles, ed sheeran, Billie Eilish, hozier, Miley Cyrus, Shawn Mendes, Arctic monkeys, Måneskin, The Rolling Stones among others

Thank u 🥰

Hiii, bestie🥰 1, 2, 3, 5 & 17🎶

thank you bestie 🥰

3. A song that reminds you of summertime: Summer Paradise by Simple Plan and Sean Paul. for some reason I only ever hear this song in the summer, so I associate it with the summer.

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD: SINCE U BEEN GONE BY KELLY CLARKSON. that song shaped me as a person and it's also a bop

17. A song that would sing a duet with on karaoke: okay, bear with me, but I always thought Ed Sheeran's Shape of You would be awesome as a duet

girl I thought you gave me relatively easy ones, considering some of the other choices on the list, but shortening these down was PAIN. for the numbers one I had 24 songs 😭 I tried and failed to limit myself to 5.

1. A song you like with a color in the title: Glitter and Crimson by All Time Low. Heart of Gold by James Blunt. Post Blue by Placebo. Color Blind from Glee. Blue by Troye Sivan.

2. A song you like with a number in the title: yeah I can't choose one, sorry. I can't even do one song per artist. songs with numbers in the title are just great, it's not my fault, okay? Death by a Thousand Cuts by Taylor Swift. 2005 by James Blunt. 27 by Fall Out Boy. Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams. Fourth of July by Fall Out Boy. One More Night by Maroon 5. I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith. One Day At A Time by Sam Smith. One Day the Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death by Bring Me The Horizon and Amy Lee. One Little Lie by Simple Creatures. One Of Us by ABBA. Pity Party of One by Placebo. seven by Taylor Swift. Square One by Jessie J. Three Empty Words by Shawn Mendes.

either way, thank you bestie. I still can't manage to keep my answers short 😂

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Lisstennnn I love the boys but tbh if u notice the western artists they collab with or “look up to” are very mainstream, the type to make songs you hear whilst shopping at the mall u know what I mean? Like no doubt they have a couple bangers but cmon anyone that has worked in any clothes store is TIRED of artists like Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Shawn Mendes, Justin Beiber etc. And I hate to see the boys having them as inspirations bc they end up w songs like PTD which are not very good compared to their songs in Korean and I feel like Army is just giving them the views, trying to reach the “goals” and shit withou really liking the songs which isn’t good cause they are just gonna keep making songs like thisss😭 I love my boys but PTD was kinda eeh for me. Lmk what u think 🥺

Hi! Thank for the ask, first of all. People rarely read or respond to my posts, but tbh I can't blame them. I don't even think my posts always show up in the BTS tag lol, and I talk too much. Anyway...

I find it super ironic that BTS seem to love artists that make the kind of music a lot of Armys don't want. The thought of a BTSxJB collab makes me shudder. I love the music BTS make but often not the music BTS listen to. Still, Agust D, RM's music and collabs, Hope World, some of the vocal line's solo songs (especially V's) are not at all the kind of music they've recently said they listen to. Is the music they make and the music they listen to inherently different, or are they just making music that fits their "concept" and the musical identity they've carved for themselves and not necessarily the kind of music they want to do?

This also makes me think of something else, which is that Army literally goes on and on about Black Swan, but BTS have never once said they love the song. I honestly think it's another one of their songs they enjoy but don't think about much. I bet most of them prefer Butter over Black Swan. Some of their favorite songs from MOTS:7 were Zero O'Clock and Louder Than Bombs (both mellow tracks). That's kind of why it's not surprising that they're going in this direction - not only because of the popularity thing, but because they do like more generic pop music, and don't mind doing it (especially if it's only three songs so far).

I think BTS will be surprised by the reaction to this song. When Butter came out I (and some people) didn't like it, but the comment section here and on reddit was mostly positive. The song is cool and trendy. But that's not the case this time around. PTD sounds like a HSM song, and that's not exactly what's fashionable right now. On here and on reddit people have been dissing the track a lot. I don't know what's going to happen in terms of streams and stuff, because Army is powerful and the song might be well received by the GP, but I think they will reach the lowest point in their careers since Dynamite. I don't think the song will bring in a huge number of fans. It won't be a "flop" or whatever, and it's not a title track so it's fine that it doesn't perform super well, but it might hurt them more than benefit them in the long run. They're a lot of disgruntled fans right now and I think their image will take a slight hit. This is the culmination of fans' worries and complaints about their English releases. This time they don't have the excuse of the song being good or a bop. It's truly not a bop, so even Army is outright complaining.

I know people want the song to not do well so BTS can learn a lesson, but even if the song doesn't do well they won't change their current direction. Once the pandemic is over they might drop another Korean album like MOTS:7 and BE, but these albums still have songs that are more poppy and generic than desired. Their next album will have people complaining and their next songs will be blander than the norm too. This is just BTS now imo. Fans talk about ON and Black Swan - and, yes, those songs are amazing and creative - but MOTS:7 also had tracks like Louder Than Bombs and WABP: The Eternal, which, to me are American-y enough. However, fans like those tracks. Current fans don't mind the more American pop sound as long as there are meaningful lyrics and BTS put their own spin to it. BTS will never go back to their Wings era. I don't mind that because I love LY: Answer and MOTS:7 is my favorite album (even though I don't like all the songs). The point I'm trying to make is that, no, BTS won't stop releasing Butter-style music. We can hope that with PTD not doing amazing (it will probably do much better than expected), BTS might try to release a darker song or something.

Sorry for the rant. What do you think?

PS: Am I the only one that felt genuinely embarrassed for BTS watching the MV and listening to the song? I know it's stupid but this was the first time I felt kind of embarrassed being Army. There's nothing wrong with liking 1D or HSM, but, yeah...

Thanks for the ask :)

[ratabrasileira]

ACOTAR Characters and what they would listen to.

It will be hard, but let's go!

Azriel: Emo/Punk/Alternative Rock and Classic Rock (sorry but he would listen to The Beatles). Would listen to Pierce the Veil, Falling in Reverse, American Football and of course The Killers.

Cassian: Since I'm brazilian, I'll put some of our culture here: Sertanejo Universitário and Forró Piseiro (go listen to it!) Everytime I listen to Marilia Mendonça I can see him singing while drinking his ass off lol. But to you gringos he would listen to Folk/Indie Music! And Rock too, because Az and Rhys kinda compel him to.

Rhysand: It's a mix of Az's and Cass' taste. But also, he would listen to Pop Romantic Musics and some others that are really sad and melancholy (Like Adele lol). Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes and James Arthur would be in his playlist dedicated to Feyre.

Mor: Pop everywhere!! I like to think that she would listen to Kpop too, Blackpink definitively (She would ask Feyre, Nesta and Gwyn to join her in some coreographies). Every damned day she would listen to Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Rihanna. Sometimes Rhys joins her, Azriel secretly like listening to it and Cass screams her to stop, but while bathing he may had sang Single Lady.

Amren: Just classic music or some 70s 80s Rock (she hates The Beatles (someone has to)).

Feyre: She's eclectic. If the beat pleased her or the lyrics are touching, she will listen to it. But mostly she just listen what people put to play. (She sings telepatía - kali uchis to Rhys)

Nesta: Any music that she can dance! She needs my culture too guys: she would shake her ass to the floor while MC Drika is playing background. Yes, she would listen to Funk, but just to dance (imagine her doind this)!! As her sister she likes everything, but she prefers those musics that are danceble.

Elain: Lana Del Rey, Marina & the Diamonds, Florence + The Machine, Lorde and Clairo!! She would defenitely be a Indie Sad Girl lol.

Lucien: Folk Indie Musics. Hozier would be his Aesthetic (just imagine him singing 'In a Week' or 'Work Song'). And Classic Rock too, please.

Gwyn: It's hard, but I think she would prefer Kpop and Hyperpop! She thinks that Charli XCX is supposed to be in everybody's playlist!

Emerie: Some lesbian music like Hayley Kiyoko and Girls in Red yes yes yes! Holy by Zolita would be her comfy music. But she also vibes me some Eletronic House too!

Feel free to add some other gen. or character, please!! ^u^

If I forgot someone, sorry. There're too many >.<

Last year companies such as Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart spent a record $200 million campaigning for an Election Day ballot measure that would exempt them from the California law, arguing in ads and in-app messages that keeping drivers contractors would protect their ability to work. They won: Proposition 22, as the ballot measure is known, now limits their drivers in California to a set of sub-employee alternative perks such as an “earnings guarantee” that doesn’t count the time or gas they burn waiting between trips. Prop 22 also insulates itself from future reform efforts by preempting local laws and requiring that any tweaks by the state legislature comport with its intent and pass with a seven-eighths supermajority. All this has left many drivers feeling stranded in the worst of both worlds—as beholden to bosses’ whims as employees, without the corresponding protections.

Employees in related fields are already feeling the knock-on effects. In December, Albertsons Cos., the supermarket chain, started informing delivery drivers they’d be replaced by contractors. In California hundreds of Albertsons employees are being swapped for DoorDash Inc. workers, according to the United Food & Commercial Workers union. Albertsons declined to comment on the layoff figures but says that the move is happening in multiple states to “help us create a more efficient operation” and that affected workers are being offered other jobs there. (Some workers dispute that last part.) Startups such as Jyve Corp., which sends contractors to grocery stores to stock shelves in lieu of employees, are seeking similar exemptions.

Companies in a range of industries could use the Prop 22 model to undermine or eliminate employment protections. A week after the election, Shawn Carolan, a partner at early Uber investor Menlo Ventures, wrote an op-ed heralding the potential to spread Prop 22’s vision of work “from agriculture to zookeeping,” including to “nursing, executive assistance, tutoring, programming, restaurant work and design.” The Coalition for Workforce Innovation, a lobbying group that seeks to enable wider use of contract labor, includes trade groups representing Amazon.com, Apple, AT&T, Comcast NBCUniversal, CVS Health, General Motors, Nike, Rite Aid, Starbucks, T-Mobile, Verizon Communications, and Walmart, as well as construction, finance, media, sales, and trucking interests.

Now gig companies are pressing their advantage. While pushing Prop 22 as a national model, they’re also aiming to secure deals with unions in states like New York and California that could codify some form of union representation as well as benefits without making workers employees. “We hope other states will listen to the voices of drivers and delivery people who strongly support new laws that make gig work better,” says Uber spokesperson Matt Wing. (Gig companies have also been in talks with Unifor, Canada’s largest private-sector union.) The companies have a lot more leverage now, Aloise says, because Prop 22 already declared drivers contractors: “Are we going to accept it, or are we going to still try to fight over it?”

Hi! It's me once again! I'm here to pester you once more 🥲 I'm so sorry, but can I please ask for a playlist? I'm really curious to see which songs you associate with me 😇.

I'm a soft/sensitive person, who cares deeply about her loved ones and is very loyal. I'm empathetic and always ready to help others. I believe in being kind, but I will absolutely go off if someone out there insults, or threatens me, or my loved ones. I still need a lot of time alone and I'm kinda a quiet loner most of the time.

While I really do love my alone time, I also enjoy socializing and making new friends. I'm quite adaptable, but cautious at first. I have a lot of inside jokes with my friends and love goofing around with them.

I'm not very strong physically, but I'm quite witty, mature and emotionally intelligent. Now matter how hard people try to bring me down, I will always get back up.

I love indie/alternative, pop, rock and honestly any kind of music.

I'm very interested in anything abnormal/paranormal, horror, spiritual and fanatsy related. Some people even think I'm a bit eccentric and weird for liking such things, but I don't care.

Once again... thank you so much for you time and effort ❤

Before you get my playlist I have to get this of my chest…

I. AM. FUCKING. SCARED! I am so scared that there is not even one song one on the playlist that you will like. But I have to shoot my shot! (A not intended basketball joke XD sorry not sorry) My guts told me what song to pick so there is not really a reason behind my choice. I have put some German songs in there and it was the only language I was comfortable putting in there (except for English DUH)

For the people who are interested in the playlist and have Spotify: The Mix of Sun and Rain

The Mix of Sun and Rain

-You’re not alone by Big Time Rush -Unconditionally by Katy Perry -Umbrella covered by Ember Island -Treat you better by Shawn Mendes -Thank you by Lena -Tausend Tattoos by Sido -Take on the world by Rowan Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter -Stuck by Big Time Rush -So wie jetzt by Silbermond -Power over me by Dermot Kennendy -Outnumbered by Dermot Kennedy -Good 4 u by Olivio Rodrigo -Run by One Republic -Fictional Men by PEGGY -Fuckin’ Perfect by P!nk -IDK you yet by Alexander 23 -Nancy Mulligan by Ed Sheeran -Freaks by Jordan Clarke -Bad Reputation by Shawn Mendes -Queen by Shawn Mendes -Like to be you by Shawn Mendes feat Julia Micheals -Higher by Shawn Mendes -One call away by Charlie Puth -Control by Zoe Wees -Wavin’ Flag by K’NAAN -She’s kinda hot by 5 secons of summer -Try by P!nk -True Love by P!nk feat Lily Allen -Dusk till dawn by Zayn & Sia -Girls like us by Zoe Wees -Call on me by Starley (Ryan Riback Remix) -Afterglow by Ed Sheeran -Who U R by Austin Moon -Try Everything by Shakira -Iris covered by Natalie Taylor -Someone to you by Banners

I can stand Butter and Dynamite and I love my boys but PTD was kinda eeh for me. Lmk what u think 🥺

I completely agree with what you’re saying.

It’s very obvious that after dynamite’s success HYBE is completely focused on continuing to market BTS to the western market. Which is fine, but the material they’re putting out is so completely different from anything BTS has done before that it feels really inauthentic to me.

I honestly believe that the English songs they’re releasing are 100% only to make money and appeal to the wider western audience and not music that BTS themselves are interested in making. Just look at the members’ solo projects, they’re completely different. Dynamite didn’t fit in at all with the Korean songs on the BE album.

I hate that there’s this thing in kpop fandoms where you have to love every single thing a group releases or you’re “not a real fan”. I’ve been a BTS fan for years and I am really really happy for everything they’ve achieved and all of their success, but I’m not going to listen to generic songs that I don’t like and I’m not going to pretend to like them. Basically the only time I listen to Dynamite and Butter are when they come on the radio at my retail job.

Unfortunately, I don’t think any of these collabs (or the excessive auto tuning 😭) are going to end anytime soon, since they’re doing so well. In the end HYBE is a company and whatever’s lucrative will continue to be priority for them.

So yeah, this whole thing honestly just makes me really sad, because I really do love BTS and I want to keep supporting them, but I’m finding it harder and harder to get excited for their new releases, because it just doesn’t feel like them anymore. :(

I really hope you don't mind more Ed Sheeran songs, I think I will add three more and this will be it - Tenerife sea, One and All of the stars. I guess recommending a Shawn Mendes song is not something I expected to do but - When you're ready is a good one. There is a song by John Rzeznik (the frontman of Goo goo dolls) that gives me Jamie vibes in general, "I'm still here" from the soundtrack of Treasure planet and I dunno but each time I listen to it now I think of Jamie, canon and bhah Jamie.

i can't believe you're making me like ed sheeran kgjaslfjasfasdf tenerife sea oh g o d

Should this be the last thing I see I want you to know it's enough for me 'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

b r u h that's pure jamie. i've enjoyed all of these muchas gracias

as for shawn mendes...that is another artist i have never bothered with mostly because every time i see him and camila being gross in public i'm genuinely like is that necessary dglsajkaasdkjf (apparently i still have not recovered from my knee jerk ew reaction when they nearly kissed on stage during that one awards show lmao) this song though has SUCH ch8 vibes during the party v nice

also uhh ok yes i DEFINITELY get jamie vibes from this treasure planet song oh jesus my sweet girl...just wants to belong...

Lisstennnn I love the boys but tbh if u notice the western artists they collab with or “look up to” are very mainstream, the type to make songs you hear whilst shopping at the mall u know what I mean? Like no doubt they have a couple bangers but cmon anyone that has worked in any clothes store is TIRED of artists like Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Shawn Mendes, Justin Beiber etc. And I hate to see the boys having them as inspirations bc they end up w songs like PTD which are not very good compared to their songs in Korean and I feel like Army is just giving them the views, trying to reach the “goals” and shit withou really liking the songs which isn’t good cause they are just gonna keep making songs like thisss😭 the amount of auto tune also like?? I can stand Butter and Dynamite and I love my boys but PTD was kinda eeh for me. Lmk what u think 🥺

frankly, i don't actually have anything to say with whoever they want to collaborate with and such because at the end of the day they agreed in the collaboration because they wanted to work with the person. i mean, i could see the happiness they feel when singing the song so that must count for something, right? idk, i really like PTD :( it's nostaligic to me because it reminds me of the good times i had during my childhood, it brings back good memories.

just enjoy the music, my love. they'll release their own songs when they're ready but for now, let's be happy, stay safe and manifest a better and stronger world to live in ✨💜
