sooo, the 1st ever SLURP OF THE ANTIS has officially happened!!!

Saturday 13th of July 2024 at Blue Velvet in Berlin

I'm at a residency in the countryside as I write this, sitting in my studio with the windows open, letting in the breeze and the bugs. The first SOTA was so so special. I'm still recovering, but joyfully so.

I'm not going to try to diary style recount the whole night. In the end I was at Blue Velvet for over 24 hrs, so sufficed to say, a lot of shit happened. Rather, I'm going to record a few of the thoughts that are lingering in my mind and making me feel all warm inside.

o.。.:*☆

One of the things I'm most grateful for was that the crowd like, understood the mission perfectly.

From the beginning of Zander and I deciding to start this party series, we knew that we wanted it to be oriented around live tunes. Throwing a party which has more live sets than DJ sets is a pretty crazy mission, tbh, but we knew we could do it. We also believed and hoped that others would be as into the concept as we were.

It really warmed my heart that people really showed up on the dance floor during the live sets. I was told later by guests of the party that they felt super engaged and present during the live sets. I love this!

For that reason alone, it already feels like this party was a mission accomplished.

o.。.:*☆

For a while, it's been pretty obvious to me that people aren't that interested in partying for partying's sake these days. people want parties that are interactive and special. they don't want 12 hours of nondescript techno, and they don't want to be so high they can't remember any of it. people want to be engaged with each other and with the music. and they want to go to parties where, with their presence, they too can help in creating the party, rather than just consuming it. I really felt this energy in the room during SOTA and I must say, with an immense amount of gratitude, that the crowd at SOTA was just lovely.

o.。.:*☆

A beautiful backstage moment: During Edil it/them's set, I was backstage laying on the couch while Azemad and The Burrell Connection were chatting. Azemad was telling Zander (Burrell ^^) that he'd bought one of Z's records - under the alias Alfie - off discogs and had been really excited when Z had asked to book him, because A was a big fan of Z's tunes. And I said that basically the same had happened to me. I knew Zander's tunes under the alias Dream_E for a while before I'd ever met him.

One of the things I am most grateful for is that all the musicians were big fans of each other's work. Throughout the whole process of the night - from sound check to the afters in the garden - all the musicians were expressing the same sentiment: that we were all honored to be booked on the same line up as each other, that we were all really impressed with what each other make. IDK, that mutual reverence, that's just the absolute best way for this party series to begin IMO.

o.。.:*☆

it's only been a couple days but already, another one of the dreams of this party is coming true:

I'm a big believer in "build it and they will come," that if you want something, the best way to get it is to make it. I've always wanted to be a part of a thriving creative community, and so I have spent the last few years of my life making it a constant mission to try to connect, share, and find mutual support with the creative people around me.

One of the main goals of SLURP OF THE ANTICS is platforming producers, giving them the stage and the crowd. Another really important goal is to inspire the people who come to the party. So many people decide to start producing music because they love dancing to music (guilty myself :)).

Already, people have reached out to me and told me that my set, other sets, the whole party, has inspired them to start music, continue music, or explore new production styles. EEEP!

I'm so grateful that SOTA as a party is already so much more than a party. It's a place to learn, to grow, to be inspired, to connect, to create community, etc etc etc.

so thank you to all the friends who are down to do shit and support others doing shit! ilysm

o.。.:*☆

People loved the flyer art :,) I put a lot of love and time into the art so im sooo happy that ppl liked it. Bonus points for the fact that a few people told me that they thought it was sick before they knew that I'd made it! so like, they really meant it!

o.。.:*☆

I can be pretty bad at taking compliments. I am also incredibly bad at retaining satisfaction in the things that I've created, the work that I've done.

One very warm and fuzzy take away from this party is the sheer amount of people who have come up to me or written me to tell me how much they loved my set. Almost all of them say "you should be really proud of yourself". GUYS, STOP IM CRYING!!!!

no but actually, in line with all I've said above about community support, I think that this is yet again a moment where the intentions behind SOTA are being realized.

It's sometimes quite difficult for creative people to believe in what we're doing. Or rather, it's easy to believe in what we're doing when we're alone and in the flow, but it's incredibly difficult to bring what we've done to an audience and believe that they believe in it as much as we do.

I really do need these positive reviews to keep going. It means so so so much to me that people like what I do, believe in my music and my art, and tell me so. I think that often, when i'm being complimented, I don't know how to react. I just smile a lot and say thank you and feel mortified by the attention. But then, a few days later, when I have a chance to let it all steep in, I become overwhelmed with pride and gratitude.

so thank you to the people who made me feel like a little pop star. and for my community for the constant encouragement.

My hope is that this energy takes up residence at SOTA parties. That these parties can be that Moment Of Validation for all the musicians who perform.

better homes and gardens

eeep i'm not sure about this one, i was super excited when i started writing it but it didn't turn out how i wanted it to;; i hope it's good for y'all<3

word count: 1220

warnings: canon typical violence, possessive and morally questionable reader, allusions to sex

character(s): bo sinclair x gn!reader

"now what are you doing?"

bo pulled the already filthy rag from his back pocket, wiping his oil and muck stained hands on it. "i'm not explainin' everythin' i do to ya, y/n. i know you don't give a shit. get the hell out of my hair." he went to flick the rag at you, but you jumped away just in time.

you rolled your eyes at him, walking back over to the counter and pulling yourself back up onto it. "fine, i didn't wanna keep you company anyways!" you yelled at him.

bo ignored you and went back to working on the truck, that disgusting rag stuffed back into his pocket.

it was a deathly boring day in ambrose. lester was busy with work, vincent was working on a couple of sculptures, and bo was fixing up his truck after a run-in with some rowdy young adults on their way to a football game went south a couple weeks ago. you'd decided to keep bo company but even the magazines you had brought along and the music he was playing weren't enough to keep you occupied.

you reached over and plucked a lollipop from the dish you kept on the counter, unwrapping it and popping it into your mouth. you picked up the old copy of better homes and gardens from beside your thigh and started flipping through it again. maybe you’d find some inspiration on how to fix up the living room on your second look through it.

a soft ping from behind you drew your attention away from the glossy pages and you looked over your shoulder, seeing the tiny screen of your cell phone lit up with a notification saying you had a message from lester. you had forced all of the boys to get cell phones once it was clear you were sticking around; not only did it make it easier for them to contact each other, but it was for your peace of mind. you also liked being able to talk to vincent without being in the same immediate vicinity as him, and spent many nights on the phone with lester when bo was at the station late. you reached back to grab the phone, clicking through to open the message.

girl comin thru. 5 mins maybe.

you typed out a quick reply, thanks, les!, then relayed the information to bo. “we’ve got company comin’.” you shook your phone at him, the message thread still on the screen though he was too far away to see it.

bo looked up from the contents under the hood of his truck, nodding at you once before going back to what he had been doing.

a few moments later, the door to the station was pushed open and a girl who looked to be in her early-20s walked in. she saw you on the counter and waved. "i was told to ask for bo?"

you gave her an easy smile in return, your arm lifting and hand pointing across the room to where the man was standing. "he's-"

"that's me." bo had taken a - new, clean - rag and was wiping his hands, walking into the main part of the station with his most charming grin on his lips. he held out a now mostly-clean hand for the girl to shake. "pleasure to meet ya, miss."

a glint came to her eyes as she stared between bo's hand and his face that had the smile you'd put on dropping almost instantly and a knot forming in your stomach that only twisted and frayed when she wrapped her dainty fingers around his and let out a chiming giggle.

"what can i do for ya…?"

"missy. my name's missy." she smiled a sickly sweet little thing up at bo, and you could see from your place on the counter he was eating it up. the knot grew thorns.

bo led missy over to his truck to talk while he was working, and she explained to him with her big sad doe eyes that she'd gone over some scrap metal in the road that tore up her front tires, and she'd just be so grateful if he could help her out.

"i don't have a whole lot of money," she said, batting her eyelashes up at him. "i'm drivin' 'cross the state to see my papaw, and all the money i saved has been for gas and the like. but i'm good at other things," she trailed off, bringing her hand up to whisper her fingers over the arm of bo's shirt.

"well, i'm sure we can work somethin' out. pretty lil thing like you can't be stuck out here." bo smirked down at her, allowing her fingers to graze to over his bicep.

by this time you'd seen enough. the knot was a blackened stone, covered in barbed wire, rolling through your chest and clouding your thoughts. you hopped lightly down from the counter and made your way to where the others were standing, too distracted by each other to notice you creeping up behind the girl.

the switchblade lester had gifted you the previous year for christmas was heavy in your pocket, whispering to you to do what you had to do. who were you to deny it? you slipped the blade from your pocket and held it up the side of the girl's neck, then, without a moment's hesitation, pressed the release.

warm blood soaked over your hand, and it felt good. you had the brief thought that maybe you understood why bo liked his dungeon so much. the girl struggled for only a moment before gurgling, coughing out a bubble of blood, and collapsing onto the floor. you smiled down at her, using her back as leverage to yank the knife from her neck, then looked up at bo.

"goddammit, y/n! what in the fucking shit was that?" he yelled, walking around the body to get in your face.

you shrugged, wiping the blade on your shirt then closing it and putting it back in your pocket. "i didn't like the way she was talkin' to you."

bo let out a half-strangled laugh. "you're a real piece of work."

"she was lookin' at you like you're cattle at an auction," you griped, crossing your arms.

"and you didn't like that?" he took a step towards you, that infuriating smirk coming back to his lips.

"you're not for sale," you said, turning your face away when he brought his close to yours. "you're mine."

bo was so close you could feel his breath on your face, the lift of his mouth as his smirk deepened. "if i'm yours does that make you mine?"

you finally looked at him, arms falling to your sides but a challenge still present in your eyes. "what are you gonna do if i say 'no'?"

bo clenched his teeth, a growl coming from deep in his chest. "guess you'll just have to find out." he grasped you roughly by the hips, leaning down to shove his shoulder into your stomach and toss your upper body over his back. he turned without another word and walked with you down the stairs at the back of the station.

the knot in your stomach was gone and replaced with a ribbon of fiery anticipation.

Stop having such good OCs!!! (Just kidding. Keep having amazing OCs. And I personally think that you can never have too many. 😁😁) and I love the idea of yours having a poly relationship! That seems like something I never see, so I'm super excited to see how they show it to you!!

💗💗💗💗 THANKS BABE!!! I’m so glad you like them!! And yeah you’re so right. You can never have too many ocs lol. So true. I’ve always loved the idea of being in poly relationship myself so I’m secretly really excited these guys were like “hey we’re together”. I’m a little nervous to explore it (I want to make sure I do it right/well) but also really excited. I’m already picturing such soft moments between the three of them and I love it. Eeep! I’m so glad your excited about them!

Anon said:your traditional sketches are so cool!!! i feel like it kinda adds like depth to it or something but like those are so neat what if you lined some

Thanks!! And I’ve actually thought about that, but I’m not much a fan of going back on stuff I already posted... it’s more probably I’ll just go back to the concept and draw more instead of lining those haha

Anon said:FRAN UR TRADITIONAL ART IS SO CUTE OMG ITS SO GOOD (also DRAGONSSSS)

GAH I’M SO DAMN HAPPY YOU GUYS ACTUALLY LIKED THOSE OH MY G O D S

Anon said:voltron third season is cOMING SOON AS IN TWO DAYS AAAAAA ARE U EXCITED?

Anon said:i started reading bnha bc i wanted to understand your art better, and I gotta say it's a really great series. thanks for inspiring me to read it. finished the manga today and my favs are definitely kirishima, tamaki, toshinori and fatgum. actually I knew kiri would be my fave anyway bc 75% of why i got interested in your bnha drawings was bc of him...he's just?? so good?? that aside your art is incredible and your characterizations of the bakusquad are perfect. you're super cool, keep doing you!

Anon said:The fuck is shitty ab these traditional art pics. They're good, everything u do is good, don't play blind u perfect shit

Tough love! Sometimes this comes around my inbox too haha it’s fine anon, the reason why I rarely draw traditionally is that I never feel like I’m done with a drawing when I do, feel incomplete for however much details I put in because tbh there’s always more I can do on them, so with shitty I mostly meant “incomplete” lol going okay this is finished is something I don’t know how to do with traditional doodles hah

Anon said:yo what happened to your hand bro?

Therapy with my dermatologist that ends up giving me blisters on one of my fingers! It’s nothing serious, but makes arting sorta hard haha

Anon said:You should draw more kiribaku kids it had me really interested and brought out my happy

Should I 👀👀👀 an ugly word, let’s try with could next time shall we - that said, seems like yall really did like something that for me was a one time thing! I might get back on them in the near future, just because that post seems to have blown up way more than I had anticipated haha

Anon said:ahhhhhhh i absolutely love your art. i've been feeling very irritated lately and your kiribaku / kiribakushima art really helps calm me down.

This makes me super happy to know!!!! Oh my gods!!!!!! I hope life has stopped getting on your nerves in the couple days it took me to answer, anon!!!

Anon said:Headcanon: kirishima plays dream daddy

To be honest I don’t know anything about that game aside from “it’s a dating sim” and “it’s gay”, but either way to me it sounds more like something Kaminari would play hahaha

Anon said:Hey Fran! I recently caught up with the BNHA anime thanks to you (still have to get around to the manga) and I loveeee itt so much (pretty much adopted like 20 kids😂) have a lil question tho, in your AU/bnha comic thingy are Bakugo and Midoriya finally like... "okay" friends? Or is Bakugo still acting like he hates the poor boy? Thanks in advance and also absolutely love your art~😍

WEEEEHHHHYYYYYY I’m glad you decided to check it out, anon!!!!! But, I’m sorry I’m gonna need you to be more specific here since I don’t have any “ongoing” AU for that fandom atm - exactly which comic are you referring to?

Anon said:I've been restraining myself from going on Tumblr to once a month max for like a year or so now because it was exams and then I had a new year (MY LAST YEAR) of high school to worry about, and I know me. When I go on Tumblr, I stay on Tumblr for literally an entire day. Or more. And then I accidentally stumbled upon your stuff today and wasted (thoroughly enjoyed) a day of scrolling through your art and asks. I never knew I shipped bakushima so hard until today. Thank you for your beautiful art.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’m so happy you decided to use your one day for my blog omfg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so so much for this ask, it made me really super happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:do you know the song that is playing when endeavor is fight the winged nomu? ive tried looking for it but I can't seem to find it. thanks if you know it. its fine if you don't. btw you're amazing

Eeep sorry anon this ask is so old omfg I hope you found your answer somewhere else - also because I’m actually the worst person in the world to ask about soundtracks orz so, like, double sorry o

Anon said:A cute kirikamibaku thought to hopefully help cheer you as you wait for your hand to heal again: the three of them going out to a restaurant and Denki trying to subtly convince the other two to order something he wants to try when he can't decide what he wants to eat. Whenever he succeeds, he ends up eating just as much off their plates as his own.

This has actually been cheering me up for days now so thank you !!!!!!! Also because I’ve been thinking about Bakugou giving in but making it super spicy out of spite and honestly that’s the funniest thing hahahaha

Anon said:MATSUHANA🌸🌸🌸🌸

IT’S INDEED A SHIP THAT EXISTS! A GREAT ONE TOO!!

Anon said:I can't stop thinking abt that one anon that sent you "Batsuki Katsuki" and I'm losing my fuckin mind over it oh my god but anyway hello I love ur art I hope you have a good day ( ˘ ³˘)♥

THANK YOU!!!! I hope you’ll have a great month, anon!!!! *O* and also tbh same I randomly remember it and laugh by myself thank you anon for that gem I’m never getting over it haha

Anon said:I live for your bakukirikami art. I never had an ot3 until these boys, and they're just so so good. Do you think any of them ever gets insecure/jealous about the other two's bond in the relationship? I feel like if anyone would it might be Denki? But I dunno, because the way you portray them I like to think that they all actually just love watching each other be cute and bond and stuff.

Yeah that’s how I see them!  You know how, like... when you’re friends with two people and they’re friends with each other and you look at them being silly together and you’re like boy I’m so glad I have both of you in my life and that I can have you both at the same time and that you can be silly and adorable and happy together too - that’s exactly how I portray the bkk, only it’s romantic instead of platonic haha

Anon said:Your art has inspired me to write some BakuKiri / KiriBaku bless!!!! I'm also writing KiriBakuKami as well, thank you so much for the gorgeous art!

THIS IS THE BEST SORT OF ASK!!! THE BEST!!!!!

Anon said:Hello! It's the anon that asked about posting your art online for the first time. Thank you so much for answering my questions! That means a lot to me. I'll definitely take your advice. You made me feel a lot better about posting my stuff online. I'm gonna go ahead and draw the things that make me happy and,, hopefully I'll find people that like it like me!

AAAAHHHHHH I’m happy I could help!!! And I’m sure you will, anon!!!!! I hope you’ll be able to have a great time in whatever community you decide to be part of *O*

Anon said:I was feeling slightly uck but then I was like "you know what would make you feel better" and I just started scrolling through your blog and HONESTLY you are a blessing I feel a lot better and lighter and looking at your blog is literal self care for me now I love you and I hope you have a fantastic day

Sob thank you so much for this ask ;A; aaahhhhhhhh!!!! I’m so happy I can help you like that and this made me feel great back when I first read it (and also now that I’m rereading it, honestly!!!) so thank you for making my days better too, anon!!!!
