LAST ONE ABOUT GRANDFEST

BIG MAN IN A THONG ?

[shaniacsboogara]

jojo siwa claiming she's revitalizing gay pop and releasing 'karma' on the same night as conan gray's 'found heaven' and chappell roan's 'good luck babe' is so poetically ironic. it's like the universe WANTS to draw a comparison between jojo and queer pop artists.

the thing that makes queer pop compelling as a genre is the unique storytelling and experiences of queer artists told through their music. that doesn't necessarily mean every song by a queer artist has to be about their queerness. they don't have to scream "hey i'm gay!" in every single song they write. but claiming to be "reinventing gay pop" should mean you're telling interesting stories about your queer experience, right???

'found heaven' by conan gray is about growing up as a queer kid with religious guilt and disapproving parents. he equates being in love in an authentic way to "finding heaven", and the piece as a whole resonates with a TON of queer people in different stages of their lives. some people can look back at their childhoods and how much they've grown since then, some can relate because they're currently going through what conan's written about, and some people can sympathize with the way some queer people are treated, even if they aren't necessarily queer themselves.

'good luck babe' is a song about queerness and compulsory heterosexuality. chappell sings about a woman she was in a relationship with who decided to settle down in a conventional marriage despite being queer. the song reflects the denial a lot of queer people go through (specifically regarding the lesbian experience) and the unfortunate way a lot of them end up repressing who they are to conform to societal standards. it's fun, it's campy, but its message is still poignant.

as for karma… there's nothing inherently queer about that song. the music video for the original version, ‘karma’s a bitch’ by brit smith, featured a heterosexual storyline. jojo buying the rights to a song she didn't write isn't inherently a bad thing, a lot of mainstream artists do that all the time. however, if you're claiming to be a pioneer of the “gay pop” genre and your music doesn't reflect any queer themes or experiences, is it really “gay pop”? again, queer artists don't have to write exclusively about their queerness, but if you try to present yourself as a voice for the queer community without telling any of their stories, you're not going to be lauded as some revolutionary figure. if any of the songs on jojo’s album are actually about her experience as a lesbian or contain any queer themes, then i think she'd qualify as a “gay pop” artist. but so far, she's given us a faux edgy, generic pop song and tried to market it as some insane never-been-done-before feat. and honestly, if her entire album is like this and she continues to market herself this way, it's a slap in the face to all the genuine artists and storytellers in the queer community.

but let's stop talking about jojo siwa and start talking about the incredible queer artists who are truly breathing life into the "gay pop" genre: chappell roan, renee rapp, ben platt, conan gray, girl in red, kevin atwater, baby queen, mitski, clairo, dodie, and SO MANY MORE (feel free to add on some of your favourites because there are so many wonderful artists out there <3)

also: if you have a different perspective on this situation i would absolutely love to hear what you think and if you agree / disagree with this! i love discussing topics like this so feel free to reblog with your own take

this scene always get me

because firstly, every interaction between kell and alucard is fucking gold, and the concept of them tolerating each other to find lila is perfect. (i could write essays about alucard and kell’s relationship in tftop because it is so fucking entertaining).

but also alucard trying to look after kell for lila’s sake and lila’s sake alone (because this isn’t a pain that could hurt rhy) is so funny to me.

because the implication that at some point lila sat alucard down and explicitly told him there would be hell to pay if he ever let kell hurt himself is gold.

the image of lila bard threatening her best friend over the idiot she loves (who he hates) is just so fucking funny. and i can see alucard thinking it’s hilarious how soft bard actually is, but also being mildly irritated because he knows she’s actually deadly serious and he now has to look out for kell.

and then there’s literally just the fact of how much lila worries in this book. she’s literally never not thinking about kell. i could talk for days about this. they’re so in love it hurts.

this scene is just such a perfect mix of tension and humour, which V always does perfectly.

I'm fucking Crying WTF did I just make

[maneslion2]

So, everyone is just not gonna talk about how Jojo Siwa and her mother Jessalynn Siwa absolutely exploited child actors and their families during the production of Siwa’s Dance Pop Revolution show?

We're not going to mention how Jojo continues to defend and associate with proven child predators and groomers Colleen Ballinger and James Charles??

We're not going to mention that Jojo defends the abusive coach of Dance Moms, Abby Lee Miller?

No? Just gonna talk about the obviously manipulative and calculated rebrand designed to cover up and drown out the serious accusations of abuse of children and their families?

Okay, yeah, cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool co-

[themo-themo]

Yeah so Jojo Siwa just defended 3rd child predator in her career.

This girl is not a child anymore, she is 20 years old and capable of critical thinking, and she has no sympathy for Colleen's victims, she called countless evidence againt her "lies" and didn't even think that the fact that she reached out to her when she was 12 years old and Ballinger was 26 and stayed in contact to a point she INVITED HER TO DO A VIDEO IN WHICH SHE KEPT ASKING HER (A CHILD!!) ABOUT HER GENITALIA. Jojo won't even entertain an idea that she was also groomed instead she defends the actions of yet another predator against minors when her own target demographic is this group.

Can we stop making excuses for her?
