maybe nobody else will get it but i LOVE stories about fictional celebrities. the ones i can think of right now are skye riley in smile 2, ashley o in black mirror, and jocelyn in the idol. now…i’m not necessarily saying that those stories were good. they were okay in smile 2 and black mirror’s case. the idol was…pretty bad but i still loved it despite that fact. the one common thread between all three was that they were all stories about fictional celebrities. i can guarantee if they were about anything else i would’ve liked them much less.

but I do

pairings: Josh Washington x F!Reader, Chris Hartley x Ashley Brown (Until Dawn) type: MINORS DNI, fluff AT FIRST, smut AT THE END, not knowing what they are, craving and desperate, biting, breeding kink, p in v, a bit of possession, inexperienced reader, hair pulling, kinda pervy josh, its big. you are responsible for your own usage of the internet; you were warned! vibes intended: wet dreams - odetari (ignore that one lyric it's not just lust) for the best experience: read parts I and II to understand the plot. then use the crhome extension called word replacer II. (i can also make a you / y/n-less version, but i just prefer seeing my name for DR purposes) word count: 1892 part 1 | part 2 | part 3
She melted into it, but y/n couldn't fully divulge into the feeling, passion, need. Josh pulled away, panting, and took her hand. She also took a few breaths. y/n couldn't see it as she stood behind his figure, but a grin was evident on his face.
His thoughts soaring faster than anything when he finally knew of reciprocation. All the while, his hand felt warm in her presence and she kept rubbing his hand with her thumb.
Y/n spoke up. "Where are we going?"
"My room." his tone felt like he was planning something, he was in a mood of craving something.
She took a calm breath; his hand held onto hers as he lead her. Back into the campus, the warmth engulfed them both. She knew Josh lived on a separate floor from her, one floor above her, to be exact. Once there, he let her in first. "m'lady." His voice was soft and more genuine.
y/n smiled at him. "Thank you, kind sir." His blue eyes lightly squinting when he mirrored a similar smile to her, he couldn't not adorn her cute demeanor, even if his thoughts towards her were anything but cute. He locked the door behind himself. She took off her cold jacket to reveal a black tight sweater.
She spoke up once more. "Where were we-"
Her words were cut off by the feeling of his lips on hers, with more aggression, and he was intentional in being desperate, needy, and trying to make up for all the time they never had.
He held her arms, and had her walk back to have her back to the wall. He places his hands on her cheeks, having his fleeting touch on her arms tingling.
Her inexperience was finally pried open by Josh, which made him smile at her. "You never told me you needed a little help, sweetheart."
y/n looked away in embarrassment, panting a bit harder than Josh. "I-I did have some experience, but you're way ahead of me." She whispered shyly, trying to regain her composure.
He leans closer to whisper into her ear. "No worries." Her breath hitched at the change of temperature that grazed her face.
"I'm here for you." He lead the make out session by kissing her once more. He decided to take it a little slow, but sped up as time went on.
y/n ran her hands up his lightly toned body covered by a light shirt and flannel. She clutched onto his shirt with need, the feeling had Josh going crazy for her. The ability of holding himself back to slow down for her kept dwindling.
He took off his flannel, now he only had an undershirt left. His muscled arms flexed unintentionally catching her gaze as he took his shirt off.
Her cheeks flushed at the sight of it, and honestly forgot herself until he placed a finger under the fabric covering her shoulder; signaling to ask her if he can take it off of her. She nods, and he obliges. Carefully, he pulled the shirt up as she held her hands high.
"Breathtaking..." Was all he could mutter out at the sight of her push-up bra. Desire in his eyes increasing with every moment he takes in her body.
He couldn't resist asking for her jeans to come off in the same way and she allowed it. She looked away to avoid keeping up eye contact, exposing more of her neck. He pulled y/n by her hips and directed her to sit on his lap.
Placing his hand on the back of her head, he pulled her in. Exploring her body with his hands, she shivered slightly at the feeling of his warm touch. Only letting her get away for a few breaths in between kisses.
The room now feeling cold with his fingers brushed her body, emphasizing the temperature. He moved his fingers from rubbing circles on the sides of her hips, to lightly moving up her waist, to feeling her breasts, then using his right hand to hold her neck.
They parted and he began kissing on her neck, picking at it at times, which rewarded him with hitched breaths and inadvertent sounds from y/n. Still taking it slow for her, treating her like a princess that needed protection, as if any action could break her like glass.
The kisses went down all the way to her chest. Between their parts were two simple pieces of fabric, she felt a bulge form below her and she got louder from the sudden friction.
Josh cut through her pleasure like a knife, and tucked two fingers into the hem of her panties, "get up for me." She listened once more. He pulled them off of her and she stepped out of them. He let her back on his lap once more.
He slowly felt around her folds, she was already dripping wet. "That's cute, sweetheart."
"You wanted this bad, didn't you?"
Before y/n could respond or even think to do so, he dipped his fingers into her clit and the other holding her up as her back arched and her hips were bucking from the pleasure; she began to grind herself for them to go in deeper.
"Don't be too loud now. We don't have sound proofing walls, you know."
Her first instinct when it came to muffling her moans was not to cover her mouth or become a pillow princess, but to bite. She didn't think it through, but she bit on his shoulder, not enough to fully break the skin. Josh groaned at the feeling. "I didn't know this princess bit back." He smirked, his two fingers still garnering moans.
Y/n's breathing getting faster and weaker. Her back still arched, mouth agape, looking like she was from a cheap porno. "J-Josh, 'm close."
He slipped his hand out. "Not yet." She pouted at his misdemeanor, he chuckled knowing what he did was unfair. He licked his fingers clean, and kissed her.
A sharp pain protruding from her lower lip caused her to open her mouth, indirectly letting his tongue in. It was him biting her lower lip. "This is the heaven I get to taste." Josh whispered then pulled her in for another. The salty flavor overwhelmed their kiss.
y/n parted first, and looked down at his crotch; she knew this action would immediately explain her thoughts. "Why don't you do a little bit of work?" He stood up to allow her to unzip his jeans and y/n sat down on her knees, feeling the cold floor.
Pulling the first layer down, she was faced with black boxers already stained with pre-cum. y/n went ahead and pulled down the boxers to reveal it and it was something. She gulped at the sheer size of it.
she spat on her hand, she mixed the dripping precum and her own spit and began slowly feeling her way up and down. The effect she had on him was evident by the roles reversing.
He was now making sounds to her touch. It felt good, something she didn't know she could do to a man. She began slow, but without alerting him, she speeds up. His groans got shakier until: "Stop."
Her heart sank.
He held her hand and pulled her up from her lower position. "I want to feel being inside you." She sighed, almost in relief until it dawned upon her that she's about to enter unknown territory. He gauged her expression, although disappointed, he respects her above all else. "If you want."
She sheepishly replied. "I do." She crossed her legs to hide her dripping wetness, even though it was a known secret between them that she was enjoying this.
He picked her up and laid her on her stomach. Josh took her knees to have her hold herself up. He lined the tip, lightly touching her entrance which already drove her wild.
"I haven't had the chance to compliment it as it deserved, but what a fucking pornstar bod, babe." A husky moan came out of him as he slowly began to fill her up with his length for the first time.
She hid her face into her arms as the first pang of pain rushed through her and her breath hitched once more. Once she was able to overcome that feeling and he was able to confirm, he grabbed a handful of her hair. He pulled her head back creating an arch that made his thoughts go on overdrive.
His hand grabbing the fat on her hips, he bucks his hips. "s'fucking tight." He bit on his bottom lip as he thrusted into her in ways she couldn't even dream of. Wet dreams were nothing compared to Joshua Washington's big dick.
The change from pain to pleasure had her drowning and dizzy. He liked the fact that he was filling her up like a cream pie. His thrusts were going strong while she was already nearing her limit. "I'm c-close..!" y/n's eyes were closed as she felt every. single. thing. She wasn't letting anybody sleep tonight with her moans, and neither of them cared.
He liked having her finish, but he was being a bastard about it. "Not yet. Hold it in." She huffed in a mix of pleasure and pain toward his response. Luckily for her, he wasn't as far off as he thought he'd be. Her taking him in so well for her first time, her mesmerizing back arch, beautiful sounds, and the fact that she was the only thing he wanted to do for a while did it for him.
He spoke in between breaths. "F-Fuck, y/n... I'm c-cumming..." His voice drowned out of her ears as she was fucked to the brim of sobriety. His pace, messy, needy, and desperate to get to his high while y/n was overstimulated and drunk on his cock. Her mind was completely blank and her actions were on autopilot.
Josh wanted to see it drip out of her. He pulled her hair with more force. "I'll fill you up, precious, yeah? It'll feel so good with my cum in you." He released inside of her, seeing his own seed drip out of her. Josh took it out and she immediately fell from her initial position, her eyes closed.
He wiped her down and cleaned her as much as he could, put aside a bit of the sheets. Picked her up bridal style, kissed her on her forehead, and laid her under his sheets. Regardless of roughness, he works hard to be a gentleman.
Josh picked up her outfit and his own, placing his in a laundry basket, and neatly fixing her clothes and folding them. He checked her bag to find her dorm key, hoping y/n wouldn't feel too badly about him grabbing her shower stuff from her shower.
"Mmmm..." y/n groans awake. She wipes the sleepiness from her eyes. "Josh...?"
Josh sweetly hummed to respond. "Mhm?"
"How long was..." y/n kept her eyes closed from the shining light on top of her. She put her hand up to shade her eyes. "...I asleep for?" Josh closed the light above her for her comfort.
"A half hour, sweetheart."
"... Sweetheart?" She quizzically asked him about his usage of pet names.
"Yeah, weird of us to do all of that only for us to stay friends, right?"
believe it or not, this is my first time writing something like this, and we finished the mini fic! im gonna sit and think of more ideas orrrrr send me some ideas based on my masterlist! •ᴗ• i do wanna say CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and thoughts are appreciated!

The Boys X Brazilian Music
headcanoning the music tastes of the boys characters with brazilian music! because i am brazilian and have decided to make that everyone's problem. shout-out to my best friend who does not have tumblr and thought of half of these. most of the artist names have links to songs!
includes the boys and assorted other characters that we had ideas for.
BILLY BUTCHER
Butcher listens to punk rock, the revolting bastard, and the language won't make much of a difference — he'd love the Brazilian punk bands with a history of dirty lyrics and censorship such as Plebe Rude, Os Replicantes, Inocentes. However, as with the Spice Girls, he knows a powerful pop teamup when he sees one...
HUGHIE CAMPBELL
He's a classic rock/pop guy, 80s stuff, so he's bingo-ing all the standard "plays on the radio" bands — Legião Urbana, Paralamas do Sucesso, Barão Vermelho... He cries to Epitáfio by Titãs and 100% has dedicated Tarde Vazia by Ira! to Annie.
M.M.
Undoubtedly our family man loves a good pagode — a subgenre of Brazilian samba that comes from a community celebration with food, music, dance, and drinks. He'll go out to dance with Monique to Turma do Pagode and Grupo Revelação's hits. Also, as a fan of rap and Black protest music, M.M. would be really into fundamental Brazilian rap artists such as Racionais MCs that denounce racism and political violence.
FRENCHIE
This guy canonically listens to French trap/rap so there's no doubt he'd get hooked on artists such as Matuê and Teto. However I also feel like he'd be into psychedelic rock and its trippy guitar riffs — which leads us to artists like Raul Seixas, Os Mutantes, and O Padre dos Balões (will never pass on an opportunity to recommend my favorite small band). He'd also listen to Mamonas Assassinas because I think so.
KIMIKO
She has a soft spot for classic musicals, jazz standards, and slow ballads — the samba and bossa nova classics would be a gold mine, from Cartola to Chico Buarque, João Gilberto and Tom Jobim. She'd be obsessed with Carmem Miranda! And I can also see her falling in love with Elis Regina and Marisa Monte's voice. I can also see her jamming to 80s pop that sticks to your head — A Fórmula do Amor by Léo Jaime and Kid Abelha jumped immediately to my head (and it's been there since, send help).
ANNIE JANUARY
Annie is the type to have grown up listening to sertanejo — a very popular genre of Brazilian country music. The classic duos, such as Chitãozinho & Chororó, and especially the movement of female-centered sertanejo led by artists like Marília Mendonça and Maiara & Maraísa. However she probably stopped following these artists around 2019, so anything newer than that (like Ana Castela) "doesn't sound right" and takes her on an angry rant.
BONUS:
THE DEEP
Unironically listens to O Sol by Vitor Kley while staring at the sunset. Firmly against Mestre Jonas by Sá, Rodrix & Guarabyra because that is whale abuse.
ASHLEY
Unironically listens to Manu Gavassi looking at the mirror and thinking "literally me."
HOMELANDER
This one song on loop.
#the boys#the boys headcanons#brazilian music#the boys headcannons#i tried to find a nice amount of examples for everything but it's still kinda obvious which ones i actually listen to lmao#mine: hcs

"Eddie Redmayne Is Twinning in a Skirt With Wife Hannah Bagshawe at the 2024 Met Gala".
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/378a08bd0929651fbe72cbc48d328409/c385fee73512cd9e-90/s640x960/c3a6cd2dd7eca4c1f9b79a651578eee5a7228416.jpg)
Eddie Redmayne and wife Hannah Bagshawe have elevated the concept of coordinating couples to new heights at the 2024 Met Gala in matching avant garde floral looks.
By NATALIE FINN
What good is sitting alone in your room when you can join forces with your wife and match at the 2024 Met Gala?
Eddie Redmayne and wife Hannah Bagshawe took couple coordination to new heights, the Oscar winner wearing a tulle skirt and flowing black coat with see-through panels that mirrored the silhouette and avant garde pattern of his beloved's strapless dress, both by up-and-comer Steve O Smith. (Of course, if they weren't by the same designer, that would have been one heck of a coincidence.)
"He's had two collections and he's an extraordinary man, and an extraordinary designer," Redmayne told Vogue correspondents Ashley Graham and Gwendoline Christie on the red carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "And he paints and sort of does charcoal drawings that he transfers onto..."
He gestured toward their preciously punk ensembles. Bagshawe capped her look with a black fascinator, the lines of the hat an organic extension of her girl's-just-there-to-have-fun-style dress and pointy-toe stiletto boots. (See all the fashion making a statement on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.)
While not his first Met Gala rodeo, Redmayne—who was just nominated for a Tony for his turn as the Emcee in a revival of Cabaret—was taking advantage of Broadway's tradition of going dark on Mondays.
"I hope I wasn't too lascivious," he said in response to a bit of gushing over his performance. "I do kind of interact with some of the audience members."
But overall, "it's wonderful, we're having the most amazing time. It's in the round and there's this kind of preshow, so as you come from 52nd Street you step into this whole world of the Weimar Republic...The audiences are so electric." (Next up, he'll play an assassin inclined toward "debonair suits" and who "probably isn't rocking a tulle skirt" in a series adaptation of The Day of the Jackal, another big transformation for the chameleonic actor.)
For the evening, however, it was Redmayne and Bagshawe making their way through "The Garden of Time," stemming from this year's Costume Institute exhibit "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." And when they cozied up to each other, it was impossible to tell where one outfit ended and the other began, like two blooms planted at the same time that inevitably join together.
Keep reading to see which other couples brought the romance to the 2024 Met Gala:

* ◟ : 〔 yu jimin , cis woman + she / her 〕 SIMI YU ( S1-MI Y13.0 ) , some say you’re a TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD lost soul among the neon lights. known for being both SLICK and DOMINATING, one can’t help but think of STARGIRL INTERLUDE by THE WEEKND when you walk by. are you still a REPLICANT / SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER at STONEAGE INDUSTRIES, even with your reputation as the MILLION DOLLAR BABY? i think we’ll be seeing more of you and CATCHING THE FIRST INFLECTION OF A LIE IN SOMEONE'S TONE AND THE SINKING FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY THAT FOLLOWS, THE INESCAPABLE PRESSURE OF NEVER LETTING A GOLDEN SMILE FALTER, AND A BRIGHT SPOTLIGHT THAT SEEMS TO FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DESPERATE FOR ANONYMITY, although we can’t help but think of ASHLEY O ( BLACK MIRROR ), JOCELYN ( THE IDOL ), AVA ( EX MACHINA ) whenever we see you down these rainy streets.
BIOGRAPHY.
development of S1 - Mi Y13.0 initially began during the year 2020, as celebrity culture was plagued with trainwreck after trainwreck. too often, celebrities and the elite found themselves embroiled in scandals, and it was time for a change. there was once a time where celebrities were seen as role models, as someone that pre teens and teenagers alike often fawned over, ripping their favorites from magazines and pasting their pictures all over the walls. celebrity culture significantly deminishes in the early 2020s, and it's within the walls of stoneage industries that it is decided to make a massive change.
for years, S1 - Mi Y13.0 is merely an idea. what are the qualities of a celebrity that people actually like? her development begins with research, years of it, before the replicant is brought to life. she is designed with relatability in mind, and the announcement of such a replicant from stoneage is one for the history books. surprisingly, in 2038— almost twenty years after development began, S1 - Mi Y13.0 makes her debut as the new face of a popular alcoholic beverage brand.
the replicant, known as simi yu as opposed to her serial number, has a positive reception. of course, there are those against the idea of replicants taking over the entertainment industry, but she has become a staple within two short years. her face is all over the city, on cell phone screens, and one of the most recognizable. at all times, simi is surrounded by those responsible with ensuring that she is well taken care of. they all watch her every move, wanting to make sure that she doesn't do anything out of turn, but their efforts are slowly becoming in vain.
HEADCANONS.
simi is the first of her kind, and is designed to be " the perfect celebrity ". she is programmed to give the best answers in interviews, to always appear in a good mood, and to be as pleasant as possible. it is rare to see simi lose her cool in front of the camera.
she is becoming sentient. initially, she was programmed to not experience any emotions outside of pleasantness / happiness, but there is an undetected glitch in her code which is changing her perception on the world around her. the glitch was initially noticed during an interview, when simi unexpectedly began crying despite the smile on her face.
the people surrounding her, employees of stoneage ( and npcs lol ), do not have her best interest at heart. as she is becoming sentient, their actions are becoming known to her— they have been using simi, often taking her earnings for themselves and putting her through unnecessary tweaks to her system. in short, they do not have her best interest at heart.
as simi becomes sentient, she is starting to see that not everyone likes the presence of replicants. she often uses her intelligence to better understand who, or rather what, she is while also battling with whether or not she wants to continue her life in from of the camera.

rules: answer + tag 9 people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with
I was tagged by the ever lovely @oldefashioned
Favorite color?
Purple! I adore all shades of it. I'm also fond of various greens and pretty much all jewel tones, but purple is still my fave.
Last song? 🎧
youtube
Currently reading? 📔
Currently working my way through @libraryofgage's Stranger Things fics over on ao3. Really loving them so far. The Munson's as Addams relations is a very fun idea.
After this, I'll catch up on fic updates in my email and then go back to working my way through my marked for later stuff. lol
Currently watching? 📺
Spent some time with very dear friends/chosen family recently and caught up on some things I hadn't seen (I'm super slow to watch things on my own, partially because I really seem to prefer watching things with others). So here's what I watched on my little holiday:
The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. I'm not sure why I'd never gotten around to seeing it as I adore both the mains and it has Betty White, who is always a delight. It was so much fun. Just the sort of thing I want from a rom com.
Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. A fun romp of an action comedy and a hell of a wild ride. Cameron Diaz was so fun as she gets dragged into spy stuff and shows she's rather a quick study.
Two eps of Black Mirror: San Junipero and Ashley O. Both eps were really good. San Junipero totally made me cry, but in a good way. It was just so sweet. Ashley O was a little slow at the start, but once it hits it's stride it was great.
One episode of the Amazon Prime series Solos: Leah. This episode features Anne Hathaway and was honestly amazing. She plays a physicist trying to solve time travel and it packs a hell of a punch. The premise of this anthology series is that each episode only features one actor, but it is amazing what an incredibly talented actor can accomplish all on their own. Leah tells an incredibly powerful story and I highly recommend watching it.
Madame Web. This one was a mixed bag. Fascinating premise, but the execution of the ideas was...not great. It was compelling enough that I was willing to sit through the not great parts to see what happened and the ending is solid. It's like the writers/director didn't know how to do the build up but once they hit a certain point of the story they found their rhythm and it worked a lot better from that point on.
Hunger Games Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2. I'd read the books about a decade ago and seen the first two movies, but somehow never got around to seeing the last two. I really enjoyed both. The cast is phenomenal and Jennifer Lawrence does a really good job of playing someone with C-PTSD and concussions. There were some lovely subtle shifts in her expression at times. Playing someone who is wooden when given acting directions for propaganda videos and vibrant and engaging when acting on their own is not an easy thing and she does it wonderfully. The rest of the cast is equally amazing.
Currently craving?
Ice cream. But I'll probably have a yogurt instead.
Coffee or tea?
Both! Coffee I loved hot or iced and with a bit of cream but no sugar. Tea I also love hot or iced. So far the only tea I'm not a fan of is lapsang souchong, which has a very smoky taste and scent. (as in it smells a bit like campfire and taste like liquid smoke--to me at least). Black teas I like with milk but no sweetener. Herbal teas...some I like with cream if hot (usually spiced ones) and others (particular fruit based ones) I like with nothing added. Greens, whites, pu erhs, and oolongs I generally like plain, though I do like to add cream to spiced teas as I really like how the cream flavor interacts with the spices.
As usual, I'm gonna just say that if you feel like playing, please consider yourself tagged by me. Please do tag me if you decide to play along. I love learning about all y'all.
Since I'm chatty as hell, I decided to follow @oldefashioned's lead. Here's an easy template for those who would like to play along.

Cyberpunk, capitalismo tardio e a pós-ironia na arte e na cultura pop (em um lindo dia ensolarado)
Bom, vamos começar com o que inspirou a apreciação de todo esse imaginário em mim: um vídeo de um youtuber falando sobre como muitas pessoas interpretam mal todo o imaginário artístico pós-irônico da atual diva-mor da comunidade gay: Charli XCX (agora Charli xcx, eu acho?). *O vídeo é realmente necessário.*
youtube
Como podemos ver, é possível descrever, basicamente, a persona artística da Charli xcx como uma mean girl ignorante, fútil, rasa e mesquinha. Para qualquer mente pensante, é óbvio que isso não é a Charli, ela mesma disse que estava brincando com isso para a era brat, ou seja, Charli xcx, desde Vroom Vroom (como podemos ver no vídeo) performa uma personagem para acompanhar e dar sentido a sua música, e o conjunto de sua obra é uma sátira sobre a ideia de diva pop influencer instagrammer e tik toker: uma mulher extremamente descolada que sabe que é descolada e é bastante afirmativa sobre ser descolada, uma mulher “cunty e unbothered”, virtualmente perfeita, que é a máscara mostrada por todo mundo hoje em dia na internet, especialmente na era de relações líquidas e do auge das influencers de nicho (como por exemplo, Gabriette e Julia Fox, citadas pela Charli em 360), é claro que tudo isso, em primeira instância.
Um outro exemplo de artista que também performa um personagem no imaginário Hyperpop é uma das precursoras do movimento e praticamente co-fundadora do gênero, a diva Hannah Diamond. A persona dela é completamente diferente da persona criada pela Charli, acho que até posso dizer que elas são opostas: enquanto a Charli performa uma mean girl cunty e hipersexualizada, Hannah Diamond performa uma garota insegura recheada de estereótipos e hiper feminilidade, como é possível ver em seu álbum maravilhoso Perfect Picture, principalmente em músicas como Poster Girl, No FX e Lip Sync. Hannah Diamond talvez deixe ainda mais claro o sentido dessa dicotomia de artista/persona, já que o eu lírico dela é uma garota totalmente insegura, hipersensível e frágil, todos estereótipos da hiper feminilidade, mas ainda apresentando assertividade e personalidade (mais ou menos se encaixando no mesmo grupo de personagens como Cher Horowitz de Clueless ou Elle Woods de Legally Blonde) e por mais que Hannah, como pessoa por trás da arte, não fuja muito desse imaginário, ela é completamente diferente de seu eu lírico, estando mais pra uma “girlboss”, sendo muito reconhecida não só como artista e produtora mas também como empresária, já que ela é uma das embaixadoras mais ilustres da marca de cosméticos MAC.
De qualquer maneira, tanto a Charli quanto a Hannah têm algo óbvio em comum: as duas usam de artifícios de construção de personagem na própria arte, um personagem que pode ou não ser semelhante a elas enquanto pessoas, mas esse definitivamente não é o ponto.

Agora, vamos atar isso ao imaginário cyberpunk e falar sobre como a sátira dele se liga à personagem satírica que é a Charli, e para isso, vamos trazer mais duas personagens extremamente adoradas e icônicas do cenário da cultura pop: Ashley O, da série Black Mirror (que todos provavelmente conhecem por ter sido interpretada pela Miley Cyrus), e Lizzy Wizzy, da franquia de jogos Cyberpunk 2077 (que muitos provavelmente conhecem por ter sido interpretada, dublada, criada e produzida pela Grimes).
Ashley O e Lizzy Wizzy são personagens muito semelhantes a Hannah Diamond e Charli xcx, respectivamente. Ashley, com certeza, seria a correspondente de Hannah no universo de Black Mirror, que como qualquer fã da série sabe, é um imaginário com diversas hipóteses de futuro, mas todas com algo em comum: a distopia tecnológica e o último estágio do capitalismo tardio. É claro que o plot do episódio (ALERTA DE SPOILER) é justamente que a artista Ashley, pessoa por trás da persona Ashley O, não gosta de performar a personagem e é obrigada pela gravadora justamente por ela ser basicamente instrumento de controle de massas (pra simplificar, política só de circo, já que pão e circo requer PÃO e isso não tá incluso nela), mas o ponto aqui não é o descontentamento da pessoa por trás da persona, mas o que A PERSONA EM SI representa. Qualquer pessoa sabe que o single lançado pela Ashley é essencialmente básico, superficial, tecnicamente “ruim”, mas ESSE É EXATAMENTE O PONTO. A letra não faz sentido algum mas ela tem tudo o que todo mundo gosta: romance, sexo e história de superação, um banquete pra qualquer sociedade devorar. Mesmo assim, não só todos os personagens da série mas também muitas pessoas do nosso próprio mundo AMARAM a Ashley, e o single dela chegou a hitar mais que algumas músicas da própria Miley. Por que motivo a Ashley agradou tanto os espectadores da série, se ela é essencialmente rasa e ruim? É óbvio: a construção da personagem é uma ironia genial, uma análise de onde nossa sociedade pode chegar num cenário em que o capitalismo, mais do que vivido, é enaltecido e venerado. O ponto é que Ashley O, para os personagens de Black Mirror, é realmente uma ídola, as pessoas gostam dela porque gostam do que ela representa, e isso é uma piada que a série fez com todos nós. Todos nós amamos Charli xcx, todos nós amamos Alex Consani, Gabriette, Julia Fox… elas são as nossas “Ashley Os” e elas SABEM disso, na verdade, esse também é todo o ponto da arte da Charli. Nós amamos ela e ela zomba da gente por isso, mas ao mesmo tempo ela também zomba de si mesma e no fim de tudo, nós amamos ela mesmo tendo consciência de que ela debocha da gente porque ela também se inclui na piada, ela também gosta de ídolos vazios, ela gosta de influencers cujo conteúdo é convencionalmente raso, nós também, e ela também zomba deles criando uma caricatura dos mesmos e usando como sua própria persona artística… e nós também zombamos deles, e de nós mesmos, ao apreciarmos a arte da Charli com total entendimento de que ela é o tipo de humor mais patético e ao mesmo tempo, mais complexo sobre a nossa geração. É uma piada muito bem pensada e muito bem executada, mas ainda sim, é uma piada.
Mas como tudo isso se relaciona com Lizzy Wizzy, de Cyberpunk 2077? A Lizzy nada mais é do que a ULTIMATE POST IRONIC CAPITALIST IDOL. Ela é o que Charli, Hannah e Ashley seriam num universo distópico à beira do apocalipse que é o universo de Cyberpunk 2077. A Lizzy é uma diva pop socialite totalmente rasa que adora ostentar e mostrar que é descolada. Ela literalmente cobriu a própria pele INTEIRA com DIAMANTES em um mundo em que pessoas mais pobres não têm moradia e água potável não só não é mais um direito humano, ela ainda é CARA. Os impactos climáticos em Cyberpunk 2077 atingiram seu ápice (os EUA inteirinhos viraram um deserto escaldante), vários acidentes nucleares aconteceram, o mundo está tão inabitável que a elite bilionária e política constroi condomínios NA LUA pra se preparar pra quando o planeta estiver tão radioativo que ninguém mais vai sobreviver. O imperialismo EUA/Europa chegou a um ponto em que eles se juntaram e formaram uma nova nação: a NEUA (Novos Estados Unidos da América) e subjugam as outras nações geograficamente, economicamente e politicamente. Em meio a isso tudo, temos Lizzy, uma diva pop cromada em diamantes, de cabelo rosa, que é o arauto perfeito do grande controle de massas. A água 100% potável em Cyberpunk custa 200 dólares mas isso não importa porque todo mundo ADORA ver a Lizzy chegando em seu carro voador, com sua pele de diamante e seu implante capilar rosa. Todo mundo adora ver a diva cantar seu hit “Delicate Weapon” (off: produção de Grimes!) em que ela fala sobre como ela quer morrer e é o pior dia da vida dela (de um jeito bem Parasite (2019)). É claro que os personagens de dentro do jogo amam a Lizzy Wizzy, ela é o objeto que controla eles e transforma eles em massa de manobra da elite. Mas a Lizzy Wizzy é, também, uma das personagens mais adoradas NO MUNDO REAL. Por quê? Não faz sentido tanta gente adorar uma personagem que foi criada pra ser essencialmente ruim e patética, né? NÃO! Faz todo o sentido ela ser adorada. Pessoas alienadas gostam dela de um jeito literal, mas mesmo pessoas que odeiam o que ela representa gostam dela de um jeito irônico, e isso é o que faz ela ser tão apreciada e MERECER essa apreciação. Ninguém com senso crítico gosta DA LIZZY em si e do que ela representa, mas amam ela mesmo assim justamente pela construção de personagem dela. A Lizzy não é uma personagem agradável, bondosa, na verdade ela é tudo o que existe de mais patético e condenável, e é exatamente por isso que mesmo pessoas anti-capitalistas amam ela: ela é uma piada sobre o capitalismo e o fato de que ele é um fracasso tão colossal que necessita de ídolos como a Lizzy. Do mesmo jeito que Charli xcx construiu em si mesma uma piada sobre a necessidade que nós, público, temos de ídolos pra nos distrair de quão fracassados nós somos enquanto civilização. Será possível que alguém goste, não-ironicamente, da persona da Charli? Nem ELA MESMA gostaria se ela interpretasse a própria arte de forma literal, mas ela sabe que é tudo figurativo e irônico. Na verdade ela detesta e ao mesmo tempo ama justamente porque ela ama A CRIAÇÃO, ela ama A PIADA, ela adora o fato de que ela conseguiu construir a personificação de uma sátira tão boa sobre nós mesmos que alguns de nós nem entendem que é piada e se identificam. Alguns de nós amamos a piada, alguns de nós amamos a persona, e no final, isso não poderia importar menos porque ela tá zoando todos nós igualmente. Charli xcx pensou na criação de sua própria persona artística do mesmo jeito que Hannah Diamond pensou na sua, do mesmo jeito que a Netflix pensou na criação da personagem Ashley O, do mesmo jeito que a CD Projekt RED pensou na criação da Lizzy Wizzy. Todas essas pessoas criaram arte e personagens que não foram feitos pra serem considerados como complexos ou bons, mas o charme está justamente em quão rasos todos eles são. E agora, vamos falar de IDOL?
Eu não sei qual foi o processo de criação que a minha amiga Kaya usou quando construiu a persona da Eunji pra era SLAY, mas eu particularmente interpretei ela como o mesmo personagem-tipo da Charli xcx, da Hannah Diamond, da Ashley O e da Lizzy Wizzy, até porque antes mesmo de lançar o álbum ele falou no meu pv sobre como The Most H era só uma brincadeira, etc, etc. Bom, essa informação me fez interpretar a persona da Eunji de um jeito igualmente irônico - isso e é claro, o fato de que na própria descrição do álbum está escrito que ela assumiu um ALTER EGO (ou seja, persona) mesquinho e narcisista. É óbvio que o SLAY é intencionalmente trash e é justamente aí que está o charme e a genialidade dele, e é engraçado como todo mundo do jogo entendeu que a obra poderia ser interpretada dessa maneira e ser apreciada por isso. De repente, nesse caso específico, a criação de uma persona rasa e mesquinha é algo revolucionário e genial, e todos concordam que isso confere grande qualidade ao SLAY (incluindo eu mesmo, não faz muito tempo que eu falei pra Kaya que acho ele perspicaz e eu, como todo mundo, adoro o SLAY).
Então, qual a diferença entre ser uma pessoa que aprecia isso e ser uma pessoa que aprecia a persona criada no álbum “In A Sunny Day, Everything Can Change” da Plastique? O álbum é literalmente uma versão trash do que não só a própria Plastique fez antes, mas também do que artistas tanto do IDOL quanto da vida real fizeram como Liebe, Lola W, entre outros e claro, cito a própria Charli com o brat, mas também outras obras como as músicas “LDN”, “F*ck You” e “URL Badman” da Lily Allen, toda a persona artística de artistas muito apreciadas por alguns, como a MLMA ou a Lil Mariko, a personagem Yumemi Yumemite do anime Kakegurui, mais uma figura patética, porém, amada pela comunidade de fãs e PASMEM, o último exemplo é … > a Blogueirinha <, personagem irônica criada justamente pra debochar da transformação das blogueiras em ídolos, uma sátira à adoração de pessoas como a Boca Rosa, a Mari Maria, Malu Borges e etc, uma criação quase idêntica à própria persona artística da Charli xcx, mas é claro, no campo da comédia e do escárnio, ao invés da música. A Blogueirinha é totalmente patética e todo mundo concorda, mas ainda sim, ela é apreciada de maneira irônica por muitos e também odiada por muitos. Então… essa construção só é ruim quando todo mundo declara ela ruim, e o fato de que todo mundo, até mesmo o criador, declara ela ruim realmente significa que não existe potencial de entretenimento nela e ninguém é autorizado a gostar dela? Bom, um dos álbuns mais queridos por todos (ou pelo menos, pela grande maioria) da comunidade do IDOL prova o contrário: quem se lembra do ARTPOP?
O ARTPOP foi completamente massacrado por todos, comunidade e crítica, quando saiu. E olha só que irônico, ele não só tem a mesma média do Metacritic que o In A Sunny Day como também foi renegado durante anos por sua própria criadora: tanta gente falou tão mal do álbum e ainda sim, NINGUÉM foi mais hater dele do que Lady Gaga. Ele tem 21 notas amarelas e só 9 notas verdes. Todo mundo do IDOL ama esse álbum… será que nós estamos errados? Será que nós não temos credibilidade ou gosto? Bom, seguindo o princípio do Jonata e dos amigos que o cercam, parece que sim. Ninguém pode gostar dele, afinal, como alguém pode enxergar qualidade ou entretenimento em algo que não só a crítica decidiu que é ruim, mas também a própria Lady Gaga odeia a ponto de nunca mais cantar nenhuma música do álbum em nenhuma tour subsequente? Ela não cantou nenhuma música do ARTPOP nem na turnê do Chromatica e olha que nessa época, os gays já tinham mudado de ideia e decidido que gostavam do álbum (só por isso, o user score aumentou tanto, na época era igualmente horrível). Bom, e agora, como fica? Algo é realmente ruim porque foi decidido convencionalmente que é? E da mesma maneira, algo é realmente bom porque foi decidido convencionalmente que é? Então, vamos sair um pouco do assunto de personas artísticas na cultura pop/musical e vamos todos dar uma olhada na obra A Fonte, de Marcel Duchamp.
Bom… quem aí acha que “A Fonte” é uma boa expressão artística? Muitos consideram que sim, afinal, a mensagem do movimento dadaísta foi justamente se comportar como um movimento de oposição radical contra a organização, a lógica, os valores estéticos tradicionais e os contemporâneos. Por isso, é considerado anárquico e provocador, e foi considerado como arte por toda uma geração de artistas e de público. Eu, particularmente, entendo a proposta e o que Duchamp quis dizer: é algo que provoca a ideia de arte e de beleza versus utilidade. Se você parar pra pensar, um mictório e uma fonte fazem exatamente a mesma coisa, ambos direcionam um fluxo de água e jogam ela pro alto. A única diferença entre a fonte de Duchamp e a fonte socialmente aceita é a estética, e a estética só existe porque a humanidade a criou, a ideia de belo e de esteticamente agradável foi criada por NÓS. Se um gato, um cachorro ou até uma criança humana que acabou de aprender a andar verem a fonte de Duchamp e uma fonte com um anjinho de porcelana que solta água pela boca lado a lado, qual vai ser a diferença pra eles, que não são versados em padrões sociais? Nenhuma. Nenhuma dessas coisas é nada mais do que um dispositivo que move cargas d’água, mas nós, que já temos a visão de mundo que desenvolvemos a partir dos nossos pais e da sociedade, NUNCA trataremos a fonte de Duchamp como uma fonte, mesmo que ela seja só um mictório limpo e inutilizado, pelo único motivo de que todo mundo decidiu que ele é *feio*. Ainda sim, ironicamente, muita gente trata A Fonte de Duchamp como arte e genialidade, quando tudo o que ele fez foi assinar um mictório e mudar o nome do objeto pra “A Fonte”. A perspectiva que faz as pessoas apreciarem essa obra como arte não é sobre o mictório ou o nome do artista, mas sobre a ideia e a reflexão sobre nós mesmos e nossos próprios conceitos de belo e qualitativo que ela causa. Essa obra é, também, uma sátira à humanidade. Mas no fim, quem está certo? Quem acha ela ridícula e idiota ou quem a aprecia pela reflexão que ela causa? Algum dos dois lados está certo? Algum dos dois lados merece ser ridicularizado por simplesmente ter uma opinião sobre a obra? A maioria acha a obra genial, por isso, quem discorda está errado e não tem credibilidade?
A maioria considerou o ARTPOP horrível, então, ele realmente é horrível e todos nós estamos errados e não temos credibilidade? A maioria esmagadora que não reconhece a ironia na obra da Charli está certa? Os críticos especialistas que nunca deram um Grammy pra nenhum dos álbuns da Charli xcx estão certos porque eles decidiram convencionalmente que ela não merecia e eles são os sábios e poderosos? Se tudo que é criado com o intuito de ser convencionalmente ruim realmente é ruim, por que tantas pessoas amam Ashley O e Lizzy Wizzy? Então, quem diz que as pessoas que gostam da Ashley O “não entenderam a mensagem do episódio” são os únicos capazes de estarem certos só porque a Netflix criou a personagem para ser ruim, mesmo que metade da comunidade gay estivesse dando stream em On A Roll incansavelmente? Ou será que os fãs de Cyberpunk 2077 não podem gostar da Lizzy nem de forma irônica sem serem ridicularizados só porque os produtores concentraram nela o simbolismo de tudo o que é desprezível no universo, mesmo que os fãs entendam isso? Da mesma maneira, os fãs de Charli xcx não deveriam gostar da persona dela só porque ela a criou para ser uma piada de mau gosto sobre como a sociedade atual rasa, líquida e doente precisa de ídolos igualmente rasos, líquidos e doentes, ainda que esse seja exatamente o ponto e a mensagem dela? A Fonte não é arte só porque a maioria não a vê como arte? Hannah Diamond não é uma boa artista porque a grande maioria nem se atreve a levar o trabalho dela a sério ou entender a proposta dela e a encontrar no meio do caminho? Se liguem, vocês são uma projeção nada confiável de um mundo de milhões de pessoas diversas. Opiniões especialmente sobre algo tão subjetivo são relativas e se alguém provou alguma coisa com isso, foi que vocês não entendem esse princípio básico. Ninguém gostou do álbum do Klaus Henderson e nem por isso ele é essencialmente ruim, se o André expressou que gostava dele, é porque acredita que ele tem alguma qualidade e quem são vocês pra falar que não tem? A maioria dos jogadores do IDOL gostam de K-Pop e a Nad provavelmente vomitaria se alguém fizesse ela escutar por uma hora, então, ela tá errada e todo mundo tá certo? Ela não tem credibilidade e deve ser ridicularizada? A Taylor Swift movimenta mais milhões de pessoas em seus shows do que qualquer outro artista desse século, o que significa que a maioria esmagadora gosta dela enquanto todos vocês odeiam ela… e aí, por essa perspectiva, vocês estão todos errados e os 70 milhões por show que vão assistir ela são os únicos certos e críveis? Acordem, amores, não é assim que o mundo funciona.
Bom, para concluir, fiquem com mais um vídeo sobre a Charli não gostar da música que ela lançou no começo e pensem se vocês acham que só por isso, todos devem decidir por convenção que o trabalho inicial dela é essencialmente ruim e sem valor.

i find that black mirror is soooo im 14 and this is deep but their choice of miley cyrus specifically for the Ashley O episode is so haunting when you watch old miley music videos. They could have picked a rando actress or any other former child star. But like the “cant be tamed” music video straight up looks like it was from the black mirror episode….. its so eerie. Idk how to explain just the feeling….
