The Missing Ingredient: Why Marketing Is Essential for Every Artist's Success

"Great music doesn’t sell itself... No marketing, no career. Let that sink in."

In today’s competitive music industry, talent alone won’t get you where you need to be. You could have the hottest track in your city, but if no one knows about it, does it even matter? It’s a cold truth that many up-and-coming artists ignore—they're sitting on fire tracks, waiting for someone to come and "discover" them, when the real key to success is making sure everyone knows who you are.

Gone are the days of waiting for a label to come knocking on your door. Nowadays, independent artists have more control than ever, but that power comes with responsibility. Marketing is the difference between staying local and breaking through to a wider audience. If you aren’t promoting yourself, who will? You can’t afford to sleep on the importance of marketing in 2024.

Why Marketing Matters

The biggest mistake most artists make is assuming that great music alone will carry them to the top. That’s like baking the perfect cake but never serving it. Without an audience, without reach, your music will go unheard. Marketing builds the bridge between your art and the people who need to hear it. From engaging on social media to running targeted ads, putting your music out there strategically will make all the difference.

If you’re serious about your career, you need a solid marketing strategy. Marketing gives you visibility. It’s how people will find your music, connect with your message, and become loyal fans. It’s how you take control of your narrative and build your brand, instead of leaving it up to chance.

5 Actionable Steps to Boost Your Marketing Game

If you're ready to level up, here’s how to get started with your marketing journey:

Create a Content Calendar Consistency is key. Plan out your social media posts, music releases, and visual drops. Whether it’s Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, make sure you’re putting out content regularly to stay in the conversation. If you drop a single today, plan on promoting it for weeks, not just days.

Run Targeted Ads on Instagram and YouTube Ads are an investment, not an expense. Target the right audience—people who will vibe with your sound. Whether it’s Instagram story ads or YouTube pre-rolls, get your music in front of the right eyes and ears. Start small, track your results, and scale up.

Engage with Your Fans Reply to every comment. Answer your DMs. Build relationships with your listeners. Engagement drives loyalty, and loyal fans spread your music like wildfire. Don’t underestimate the power of direct fan engagement—it’s your best form of organic promotion.

Collaborate with Influencers Partner with influencers who match your energy and brand. Let them spread your music to their audience. Whether it’s a TikTok dance challenge or a simple shoutout, influencers can help amplify your reach to places you haven’t even touched yet.

Track Your Metrics What’s working? What’s not? Use tools like Instagram Insights or YouTube Analytics to track how your content is performing. Adjust your strategy based on these metrics and continue to grow. Data doesn’t lie, and when used correctly, it’s your roadmap to success.

The Grind Starts with Marketing

The grind doesn’t stop with creating good music—it starts with how you promote it. A lot of artists miss this critical step and wonder why they aren’t getting traction. It’s not enough to just drop music and hope it catches on. The successful artists are the ones who treat their music like a business—promoting it, marketing it, and making sure it’s seen.

So, what's your next move? Are you going to keep sitting on a hot track hoping it goes viral, or are you going to take control of your own career and start marketing yourself like the artist you deserve to be?

PAC: 「What's your working style?」

(Please Read My Pinned post *IMPORTANT NOTE* before selecting a Pile)

Pick an Image by meditating and selecting the image you feel called to. You can be attracted towards more than 1 image. If you are not able to select maybe this reading isn't for you.

Pile 1

Cards: The Devil, The Star, Death, The Empress Reversed, Wheel of Fortune and The Magician.

Welcome to your reading, Pile 1. You are married to your work and you're a hard worker. You're very goal oriented and ambitious. Whatever you're working towards is not only work for you but much greater than that. Your work is your passion, your religion, your God. You even have good leadership qualities. You know how to give and earn respect. Even when you guys retire, you would still do some or the other thing as work. You just can't sit idle. You value money and you use your money wisely. I can also see one more thing here, you guys have this drive for becoming something in this world, doing something effective, having an impact, leaving a legacy. You guys are like a magnet for power and money just because you have a strong drive for work and you strive hard to achieve your goals. For a few of you, this could be the case that you had to take responsibilities at an early age because one of your parent passed away or you were stripped off of your financial support by your parents/guardian. You have good businessmanship and a lot of creative abilities. You want to become independent in your life and stand on your own two feet.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 1. Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Pile 2

Cards: Queen of Swords, The Hermit, The Tower, The Fool, Ace of Pentacles and 9 of Pentacles.

Welcome to your reading, Pile 2. You do your own thing and you don't like to follow any set rules or regulations. You might appear cold and tough and you somehow also know how to get other people to work for you if you want to. You have a lot of experience in life and you could be a street smart too. There could be a phase in your life(this could be your past, present or future because many people are reading this) where you had a huge financial loss and then you had to start from scratch and earn for your living and then become financially stable and satisfied. Yes, financial stability and satisfaction with material possessions is there but it will come after a lot of struggle. Whatever I said in the starting 2-3 sentences about your nature of work could be something which came after your struggle. You have learnt a lot from your struggles and that has shaped you the way you are. You are someone who would take the leap of faith, manifest a tower moment(sudden and drastic ups and downs) so that change can enter your life. You are not afraid of changes, you invite them..😉

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 2. Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Pile 3

Cards: The Hierophant, Temperance, 5 of Swords, 7 of Wands, King of Cups and Knight of Wands.

Welcome to your reading, Pile 3. You have a great desire to follow your passion or maybe you wish you had more talents and choices in your life because you look stuck in a traditional work environment. You think you'd have your own working style if you had the opportunity to work on your own but somehow you're trapped in a normal office type job or traditional work style where there is less to no scope for creativity and personal growth and you have to follow certain rules and fulfil certain criterias. Maybe you feel stuck in a boring 9 to 5 job. This is also because of necessity, you need to pay bills and this and that, so what else you could have done? But there is this strong desire to do your dream job which is not like your normal office job. Either you are doing something as a side hustle but you earn very little from it and you want to make big in it but you also have a main job which gives you good enough money to pay your bills but you're not happy with it. There's this constant struggle to strike a balance. You don't get much time with your family due to this job and also very less holidays/vacations. There's a lot of judgement and competition at your workplace, ranks, scores and a hierarchical management which you're tired of. You don't want any of this. You want to reach at a level where you're emotionally satisfied in your work, where there is less stress and pressure.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 3. Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Pile 4

Cards: The High Priestess, The Sun, Page of Swords, The Magician, Empress and Knight of Cups.

Welcome to your reading, Pile 4. Looks like you're doing what your heart desires and something which pile 3 dreams of. You're very fortunate and blessed, pile 4. Your job has that proper balance of work and relaxation, work and creativity. I'm not saying that your job is easy or you don't work hard or work enough, it's just that your work is so full of creativity and enjoyment that you'd happily put more hard work in it. You'd happily and willingly struggle in it. You might feel very independent and free because of your work. You might also be very protective of your job, I mean to say that people get jealous of your job easily, whether or not you earn much from it, whether or not you're successful in it, I can see that people just couldn't digest your enjoyment and excitement which is associated with your work because they don't get to do the same. So, you could be wearing some evil eye protection talisman or bracelet/ring. The best part of your job is that you don't have to follow strict rules and regulations, you're mostly free to do your own thing. You could be into creative fields of work and you're doing this because people are known by the kind of job they're into and you want to attract like-minded people or you want to help other people who are less fortunate in regards to creative work.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 4. Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Pile 5

Cards: 9 of Swords, 9 of Pentacles, King of Wands, King of Pentacles, King of Cups and 6 of Pentacles.

Welcome to your reading, Pile 5. You could be into service related jobs mostly which involves doing a lot of charity and helping the needy. You don't want to see people struggling like you did in your past. Your job gets a lot of criticism by people because maybe you get to earn very little from it or because people don't understand your job, but you're happy and people don't see this. For some of you, this work could make you successful in future but it's a very slow and steady process so again people don't see any value in your work. You might be doing something unconventional and different, so you might not be supported at home too, so you're very protective of this job. Whatever you're doing is either within a community or a one man show, nothing in between. You serve a variety of people/customers involving foreigners too. You're very satisfied and content with this job and nobody can change your mind with their worldly philosophies. There is 9 of pentacles after the 9 of swords which can indicate that you got this job after a lot of struggle and bad experiences, this could be something very unattainable to you earlier, but you fought for it, worked hard for it and now you're not going to leave it. Maybe you're constantly trying to prove your worth and the value of your work, pile 5. You don't have to. The right people will admire you for your work and will also understand and respect your work choice.

That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 5. Love, light, peace and hope to you..🌸🍁🌻🌼

Pouge Princess

Rafe Cameron x reader

she/her

Rafe takes an interest in y/n as she’s working in her family’s food truck. Over the years Rafe has came just to see her but she doesn’t know that.

*not proof read or edited

Pt.2

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩

Y/n was a pouge, she lived on that side of the Island. She wasn’t exactly like how the stereotype describe them. though. She was in a somewhat happy family, kitchen table bills, well mannered and cared about her education. Her parents tried giving her the best they could and they tried to bring themself up and it was working.

Whenever they threw small party’s they would invite almost everyone, they loved their food and the family. Her family owned a small food truck in the figure 8 area. It was a drive but it was a smark marketing move they made. The tourists were a big part and the rich money hungry local families. They never really cooked or did any happy family matter thing. They had maids or butlers to do it and money to burn, so when it would come to their dinner or lunch they bought.

They made the best tacos in the whole island as a lot would say. They grew their own ingredients to make the sals, toppings, fruit. Her uncle working in a butcher shop who helped them buy fresh meat at a discounted price, an aunt who made their homemade juices/water and tortillas. Their whole family helped them with the business like saving up for the food truck and all working togther splitting profits.

Y/n worked some after school and weekend shifts. That was her way of getting her allowance of $30 a week. To a kook they would see that as cruel but for her that seemed reasonable. She saved and saved since she was 13 to buy an old 2000a Honda crv, her parents helped her obviously but she was able to pay for it 70% herself. It wasn’t the prettiest, it had some rust on the ends and it had about 107,349 miles on it but it was perfect for a starter car, and the gas was good. She got it when she was 15 and spent nights cruising and exploring the island with her friend John B, Jj, Pope and Kiara before John B got the Twinkie.

They met in elementary school but they finally formed as a group in junior high. When they hung out it was practically everyday. In school they would have lunch but then go straight to John’s bs house. Jj was the pothead of the group so when he got his money he spent not on weed, lighters, grinders and rolling paper. Sometimes he would ask y/n parents to pick up shifts for when he was running low on money. He wasn’t the smartest with money but “weed was his outlet” she tried not to scold him and let him be him. Pope was the straight A student, he was smarter than anyone she knew including herself. He was wise and had somewhat good judgment. Kiara the born kook yet chose the pouge life, she had a fiery personalit, and was a environmentalist. She was a nice sweet soul although doesn’t make the best decisions. And John b, the group leader. He was wise in his way, street smart and a strong independent. He had some walls up but he was nicest one out of all of them.

Y/n had her little shifts at the food truck weekend mornings and sometimes after school when it was in session. In the summer she would work longer hours due to the higher population and popularity due to the tourist. She didn’t mind, she made good money especially with tips. The older look men would leave $5 minimum and as well the boys around her age. The tourist $5 max because one it’s good food and two she was y/n. It was no lie y/n was pretty, the pouges, kooks and tourist knew it, she did too. She wasnt too cocky but if she knew she could get a bigger tip she would do it. It was sad to see some of the dude actually take it seriously but a hustle a hustle. She had her fans, Topper and Rafe being some of them. Topper loved the food and Rafe loved the view.

Since it was summer time y/n would work in a bathroom suit top and denim shorts, sometimes with a shirt but working in the small metal truck with a girl on 24/7 with the outer banks heat made it hot quick. Sure they had fans but they only did so much. Today was Saturday around 12:30pm, it was the busy and hottest time of day. Luckily Jj picked up a shift today helping her with the grill. They’ve made at least 3pounds of meat already and it hasn’t even hit dinner time. As a duo they make great tips. They older adult thinks he the one actually seasoning and stripping the meat even though it was pre marinated the night before which gives it the taste people like. The younger girls thinking he’s a hot blond boy wearing nothing but a white fitted tank top with his chain dangling when he would reach down giving them their food, tipping way more money then their parents gave them.

It hit 2:00 it was slowly dying down. They were able to turn off 1 grill out of the 3 and able to chill out. They were finally able to talk one on one and kept telling small things they noticed customers do like one kid studdering when they saw jj and an old lady struggling to count out her and the sweetest kid helping. They’re favorite is when the mom yelled at a poor girl for tipping $10 but not cause jj was hot just because she didn’t understand money. They were giggling away when their 2 “favorite” customers showed up.

“Welcome to Sunburn Siesta, what can I get you” y/n asked as she grab her notepad.

“Can I get a 5 carne asada tacos and a watermelon aqua fresca please” Topper said in the most adorable English accent making y/n smile a bit.

“Lemme get 5 shrimp tacos and a coke” Rafe said grabbing his black card out his wallet while staring at the boy at the grill. She takes the card swiping it and handing it back.

“It’ll be out in 5 minutes I’ll call your names.” Y/n tells them. As jj is cooking the meats, y/n heats up the tortillas and prepares the plates. She sets the drinks on the counter letting them know they can grab them.

They boys are good tippers and as much as jj wants to spit in their food he makes sure to make it to perfection. After a couple minutes the plates are ready and she calls their name.

“Topper and Rafe your order is ready!” She shouts placing it on the counter. Topper gets up from the picnic table early excited for his tacos.

“Oh my god y/n these smell and look absolutely delicious.” Topper complimented

“Thank you and enjoy topper” she gave him a genuine smile. Even though the pouges hate him he was by far her favorite costumer. He came for the food and the food only. He never once did a mean thing to y/n, he loves her family cause of the damn tacos.

They sat eating for 30 minutes and every so often y/n would catch Rafes looking at her. She continued taking and making orders switching with Jj so he’s not stuck behind the grill trying to ignoring the daggers she felt from the boy. After an hour they finally got up and Rafe got up to put their tip in the jar. He got at the counter and jj was on the register.

“Rafe what would you like” he said trying to be a good worker.

“Can I get y/n.” He asked sternly.

Y/n heard and came from the grill

“Yes rafe what would you like” she asked

“I just have your tip” he said with a small grin that looked actually meaningful.

“Yea put in the jar” she smiled knowing he’s always done that.

“No this is your tip.” He said getting closer to the girl. Y/n bent down grabbing it with her cleavage obviously being the only thing in Rafe eye sight. She grabs it and noticed it was a $50 bill and her eye lite up.

“Oh Rafe that’s too much..” she said softly to him. He was flustered just from what he saw. He may be the towns playboy but it sure as hell got him nervous knowing they were y/ns.

“Uh yeah no it’s right. You deserve it” he said with cheek a red making embarrassed eye contact.

“Oh Rafe thank you. This is so sweet! Here have a fruit cup for free” she said going over grabbing one of their home grown fruit.

“Thanks y/n” he said with a smile still blushing.

Topper soon comes up putting cash in the tip jar “there you go jj” he said with a playful smirk.

“$6 you really shouldn’t have” he said sarcastically with a hand over his heart.

“The $5 is for y/n, you can take the dollar.” He told him and walked away both rolling their eyes.

“I should get going. Thanks for the food it was great.” Rafe turned to y/n after the other boys interaction.

“Yea, start giving you discounts for now on Cameron.” She waved bye and he started walking away. “You’re my new favorite customer!” She yelled at him from afar.

He turned around and gave her a big wave smiling to himself. Oh boy he was in love.

Y/n fully unrolled the bill about to put it in her purse until she saw a small piece of paper fall out. She pick it up and saw it has writing

“𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 *********

𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦

𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 :)

-𝘙𝘢𝘧𝘦”

Y/n put in in her purse smiling and blushing. She stood there thinking about how she was just asked out in a date by the most wanted boy on the side of the island. As a pouge too. Jj snapped her out of thought as she got ready to prepared food for the customers. She was finishing her shift in a happy smiling mood. Jj noticed and didn’t ask but if he did y/n obviously wouldn’t have told him who knows what would happen if he found out she was friends with the enemies.

Could you maybe do a child reader x Ozzie and fizzy? The details are up to you, I just want them to be my dads! Thanks❤️

AWE OMG ☹️☹️☹️☹️ MY FIRST OZZIE AND FIZZ ASK BLOWS UP (i love them a normal amount) YES!!! This will be more in a headcanon bc I have so many thoughts and if this was a fic i think i would spend a year on it LMFAOO- Reader will be around 11-13! Slightly older kid but still a kid at the end of the day!! Also because my tiktok feed is filled with lamb girl reader will also be a lambkin!! A good portion of the beginning is me explaining the lamb demon premise lol

To be love is to be changed | Fizzmodeus x Child! GN! Reader

Relationship: Familial Warnings: None!! Pretty fluffy!!

You weren’t the typical demon, looking more like the sheep in the overworld than any demon in hell. 

Soft fluffy wool covered your body, save for your face. Your rounded snout and big eyes with semi-long lashes differed from the other hellborn children. Black hooved for feet and hands, making it slightly inconvenient to do day-to-day tasks, however, your kin adapted. Visibly the image or purity in a place of debauchery. Seemingly the only speck of light in a place that was consumed with darkness.

Fizz was the one who found you in the greed ring, taking you in after seeing you steal from a Shark Demon. He liked the balls you had to do that (and was insanely worried that something would happen to you if you got caught.)

Since Fizz welcomed you with open arms, and you weren’t that much of a threat (you are literally a child lol), Asmodeus opened you with even wider arms.

Ozze is the mom while Fizz is the dad. Nothing you can say will change my mind on that.

While Fizz does fret over you, it is nothing compared to Ozzie. If Ozzie is at work and gets pulled aside to be told that you hurt yourself or are sick, he will cancel his show and head home immediately.

While Ozzie is a worryrat, he isn’t a helicopter parent. He actually believes that you need your independence, especially since you aren’t that young. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the hell version of Life 360. He tracks your ass so much that if he gets the low battery notif, he is calling you to tell you to charge your phone. 

Fizz on the other hand is more of the chaotic parent. As in you both are banned from the kitchen, both separately and alone. To make a long story short, it started with the fork on fire and escalated to the hallway mat being singed. If you look under the replacement mat, you can still see the scorched marks of soot that were just too hard to get out. But that doesn’t mean Fizz can’t be stern with you. If anything, you prefer it when Ozzie is stern, since it is a little eerie to you when his smile isn’t there. 

Do not be fooled, while they will give you some of the things you want. you will not be spoiled insanely. You still have to pick up around your room (they told the staff not to clean your room), and in turn, you get an allowance so you can buy the things you want. 

If you try to hustle them and tell them that the other hasn’t paid you to get double the amount, literally do not get caught. They won’t pay you for your next allowance LMFAO.

In the beginning, you only called them Fizz and Ozzie, which they respected. It made sense in their heads since they weren’t really your dads, and they kinda just picked you off the streets. However when you got comfortable enough to refer to them as your dads? They were over the moon and cried to each other. 

How you approached the topic with them was by having them sit down in the living room with you.

Ozzie and Fizz were sitting down on the couch as you paced the floor. You had invited them to the living room stating that you needed to talk and asked them to sit. Albeit they were very confused as to what you needed to talk about, and seeing the worry on your face, didn’t really help with the nerves. They were holding one another’s hand as a comfort. There was a brief moment where you stopped and looked at them, before turning and beginning to pace again. Fizz and Ozzie looked at one another, asking if the other knew what was going on and denying it.

“Uhh…Kid?” Fizz starts after a bit, looking back at Ozzie for a moment before he looks back at your pacing figure. “Is everything alright?”

Instead of answering, you stopped and looked at the two of them. You left the room, furthering their confusion. It didn’t take long for you to come back with a laptop, the same one they had gifted you after a month of your stay. You connected it to the TV and put on display a PowerPoint.

“REASONS AS TO WHY YOU SHOULD ADOPT ME AND LET ME CALL YOU MY DADS.”

You had made a PowerPoint to talk to them and ask them if it was okay if you could call them dad

In said PowerPoint, you gave all the reasons (most of which said that you were awesome) and benefits of adopting you (benefits were that they get a cool kid in turn). You also went over the possible dad name variations for them and the reasons behind them. You even gave the origins of the names which amused Fizz to no end.

To make a long teary heartfelt story short, they adopted you. 

However, they had to do so in a way that didn’t get the media’s attention. Just because they were celebrities and figureheads, doesn’t mean they want you in the spotlight. Rather they agreed to wait until you were either close to being or were an adult to even announce that you were their kid (if you wanted to).

This also means that if you wanted to go out, you couldn’t go out with either of them, since the media knows that they were together, it wasn’t too far out of the picture for them to have a kid. This also extends to you not going to hospitals, rather they get a physician to come to their place and check on your health. It is this whole thing where they have a security check the doctor for any decisions or any stuff that could record your existence. (Said physician is threatened that if anything about you was leaked, they would hunt him down personally.) So sadly not a lot of days out together, however, they make up for it with at-home movie nights, game nights, and even sleepovers.

Very keen on your privacy, both in the public and at home. They always knock and make sure to not do anything to cross any of your boundaries. 

Ozzie has to be careful not to talk about too much of his work around you. You may not be a little kid, but you are still a kid and he believes that no kid should be exposed to his field so early in their life. Fizz is also careful not to talk about Ozzie’s work and doesn’t go too in-depth about Mammon’s treatment around you. 

If you are prone to nightmares, they will both personally comfort you. Even if you feel silly about it, since in your tween mind, you are too old to have your dads wait for you to fall asleep because you were too scared, they don’t mind. They will drop whatever they are holding if it means making you comfortable. 

Overall very lovely parents, and they love you dearly. With you in their lives, they feel that they have changed for the better and they cannot imagine their lives without you. Seeing you as their shining light, as they continue to raise you, they hope that your bright light never diminishes.

omg dude i rewrote this so mant times because the first attempts were kinda depressing bawling NAYWAYS IM SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS CAME OUT AND HOPE U GUYS ENJOYED HEHE

Notes about my No Powers AU:

- Miles is an assistant art teacher, basically a teacher’s aide until he can get his full credentials to become a full time art teacher

- Hobie works at a tattoo studio as a piercer. His band does gigs as a side hustle.

- Miles and Gwen dated briefly junior year of high school but broke up on good terms deciding they were better as friends than a couple

- Gwen is dating Margo

- Gwen does band gigs as a side hustle and that’s how she met Hobie, when they were both competing at the same battle of the bands, she works at a dance studio most of the time

- Margo works in cyber security

- Pavitr works at the same dance studio as Gwen

- Pavitr and Hobie used to date very briefly, as in it only lasted about three months but they broke up on good terms

- Rio and Jeff are alright with Miles dating Hobie but Jeff disapproves of Hobie’s choice in career, always trying to talk to him about ‘shaping up’ and getting a stable and financially secure job. It doesn’t come from a place of malice and Hobie understands that he just wants the best for Miles but it still gets annoying being lectured by a cop, a cop that’s his boyfriend’s father at that

- Gwen is the one that introduced Miles to Hobie

- Miles is the one that introduced Gwen to Margo

- Hobie came to the states when he was 10, with his grandma who had custody of him. His mom abandoned him for her boyfriend, his dad was never in the picture. His grandma shortly got sick and died and he was placed in foster care. He constantly ran away from his foster families, living on the streets until he was about seventeen and moved in with Karl, who was sharing an apartment with Riri, Robbie and Mattea.

- Karl, Riri, Robbie and Mattea all gradually moved into their own apartments with their own partners, and Hobie moved Miles in after everyone left, when Miles was looking to leave home and be more independent and Hobie needed help with rent and wanted to be closer to Miles

- Aaron is still alive, and is actually the art teacher at the school Miles plans to teach at and his mentoring Miles to eventually take over his class when he retires. They keep the fact that they’re related under wraps because other student teachers and aides get mad about the apparent “nepotism” that goes on when hiring new teachers

Any questions?

Have you had any memorable adventures in 2023?

Pick the image that resonates with you the most. If you feel drawn to more than one image, embrace the diversity and embrace them all!

Pile 1

I see you embarking on a weekend getaway to the countryside. Packed with essentials like a map, snacks, and a camera to capture the beauty around, you set off on to your journey. While travelling along the winding country roads, You couldn't help but be amazed by the vast expanse of green fields and towering trees that stretched out before you. The air was so crisp and clean, a refreshing change from the pollution of the city. You happily sang along to your favorite songs on the phone.

Upon reaching the destination, a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the heart of the countryside, Greeted by the innkeeper's warm and welcoming nature. Settling into your cozy room with delighting floral curtains and the breathtaking view of rolling hills in the distance.

As you set out to hike along a nearby trail, ready to explore the unknown. The fragrance of wildflowers, and the cheerful birdsong accompanied you every step of the way. Pausing for a moment, you couldn't help but admire the crystal-clear and inviting waters of a babbling brook. Continuing your journey, you stumbled upon a hidden meadow, adorned with a riot of vibrant and colorful blooms.

As the sun gracefully descended, casting a stunning palette of pink and gold across the sky, You discovered a secluded spot to settle and contemplate. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, you experienced a profound sense of peace and contentment. It was in that very moment that you realized the true value of slowing down, of immersing yourself in the simple pleasures that life has to offer.

As you walked back to the inn, your heart brimming with joy and your spirit revitalized. You realized that your time in the countryside had truly changed you for the better. As you fell asleep, listening to the soothing rustle of leaves outside the window, feeling thankful for the chance to temporarily escape into the peaceful arms of nature.

Pile 2

I catch sight of you taking a solo trip to a foreign land. You meticulously planned your journey, learned about local customs, and loaded your bags with necessities. With a mix of excitement and nervousness, you boarded the plane and set off to explore a new territory. As you arrived in the new country, you were immediately captivated by the vibrant colors, bustling streets, and the melodic chatter of an unfamiliar language.

With a sense of awe, you explored the lively city, indulging in exotic cuisine, immersing yourself in the local customs, and forming new friendships along the way. As you ventured into the countryside, You marveled at the awe-inspiring landscapes, from majestic mountains to tranquil lakes. You visited ancient places, and witnessed traditional ceremonies/cultures that left you in awe. Throughout your journey, You faced challenges and moments of uncertainty, but you confronted them with bravery and an open mind.

You learned to communicate through gestures and smiles, navigate unfamiliar streets, and embracing the unknown with curiosity. By the end of the trip, You not only discovered a new country but also found a newfound sense of independence, resilience, and appreciation for the world's diversity. As you boarded the plane back home, you carried cherished memories of a transformative adventure that had enriched your life beyond imagination.

Pile 3

You made a bold decision to explore a vibrant city for the very first time. Upon arrival, you was enveloped by the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape, with its sea of people, diverse cultures, and towering skyscrapers. You meandered through the bustling streets, admiring the array of faces, languages, and cultures that enveloped you. You strolled through lively markets, where the aroma of exotic spices wafted through the air and vendors beckoned to passersby. Visiting museums, art galleries, and historical landmarks, each providing a glimpse into the city's rich past and bright present.

Despite the constant commotion of the city, You managed to find moments of serenity in peaceful parks and tucked-away alleyways. Standing on a rooftop terrace, you marveled at the sunrise, the cityscape unfolding like a magnificent work of art. In that precise moment, filled with a profound sense of awe and curiosity, realizing the limitless possibilities that lay within the city's grasp. 

With a ticket in hand, you stepped onto the train that would transport you back to your quaint hometown, reflecting back the memories of an extraordinary urban escapade. The city with its buzzing energy, organized chaos, and breathtaking beauty, leaving an everlasting impression. Being well aware of the time you spent exploring its streets and uncovering its mysteries that would forever hold a special place in your heart. As the train chugged away, gazing back at the city's skyline, with a smile adorning face, and a deep sense of gratitude resonating within for the unforgettable adventure you had just lived.

wickie stamps, from I am your Frankenstein, from leatherfolk: radical sex, people, politics and practice, edited by mark thompson, 1991

[“When I, in a scene, tediously lay out my implements, I honor my mother's labors and my brother's sacrifice. After cutting my beloved, I methodically wipe up her spilled blood, bind her wounds, and clean the scalpel. Then I wipe down the room. I, too, drop to my knees between her widespread legs and worship her femininity. Only then do the doors to this sacrificial space slowly close. Then I lift my head and gaze with bleary visions into the eyes of my beloved, which are trusted beacons. I am left with a sadness for my brother, who, unlike my beloved, had to let his blood alone. But I am grateful that I, unlike my momma, am no longer hostage to my brother's masculinity or his homicidal/ suicidal whims. Yet as my watering mouth and cunt attest, I have retrieved this cherished womanly act from the undeclared war zone called my past.

My S/ M scenes are the grappling hooks that dredge up these matriarchal memories. When I place a switchblade at my beloved's neck as she cowers at my knee with dripping cunt, I remember myself at age seven, standing at the top of an endless stairway. At the bottom of the stairs is my oldest sister with her boot on my daddy's chest. She's pinned his bourbon- soaked body to the floor. In her upraised hands, arched high above her head, glistens a machete. Its fierceness is intensified by her rage. Next to her, less sure and looking to her older sister for guidance, stands another sister, who, with candelabra held high over her head, hesitantly mimics her older sibling's stance. Both of my sisters have felled the monster called my daddy.

But powerful women have not always been the center of my life. Although my first taste of lesbianism was in the children's home, the first three decades of my life were exclusively heterosexual. My boyfriends ran the gamut of wealthy, overeducated bastards to intriguing but dangerous ex- cons. During these years, the horrors of addiction ate away at my life. But, as in my childhood, there were hints of my While involved with my old man the heroin addict, I enjoyed the scheming, the hustling, and the tension as we waited to cop drugs. Although I was never an IV drug user, I enjoyed the ritual of preparing his works, tying him off, and, once he'd hit a vein, meditating on the blood that slowly swirled into his syringe. Later, while involved with another man, I loved hanging out with him in pool halls while he hustled customers or strutting down the street on his arm dressed in my suede hot pants, high- heeled, over- the- knee boots, and short leather jackets.

It was not until I was thirty that I took my first woman lover. Being someone who would, in order to survive, merge with whatever scene I had to, I melded into her life of brunches, women's concerts, and softball. Because I had stopped using drugs and booze, this relationship was the most stable I ever had. For the first time in my life, with the exception of my siblings, I met strong, independent women.

But, inadvertently, I had walked away from the roots of my eroticism- roots that were intricately spliced into a complicated past. Despite the freedom that I immediately gleaned from claiming my lesbianism, my sexual lust dissipated, just as it had in my heterosexual relationships. Like twenty years earlier, I feared that I would have to sit before a sexologist who would convince me I was frigid.

But this time, I fought back against those inner voices that said there was something wrong with me. The erotic hunger I had felt when I watched my mother's ritual, wore men's clothes, or witnessed my sister's fighting back became familiar again. I, who could not even say the word sex or even leave the lights on in bed, began marching into women's bookstores and picking up lesbian erotic magazines. I rented porno graphic videos. During sex, I started wearing leather and integrating mild bondage and domination. I threw out my milquetoast wardrobe and wore only jeans, leather jackets. and boots. I chopped off my hair. I got tattoos. I came to look like what I had become: a lesbian sadomasochist.”]

I have started doing something called Emma Swan’s diary just for fun since creates writing of Emma swans life and what she’d write if she had a diary

I might do this to the other characters but for now it’s just Emma’s :)

——————-

Being in Storybrooke

" Dear Diary,

Being in this town feels odd, and out of place compared to the hustle of Boston that I've grown accustomed to. Despite my longing for city life, there's one reason that anchors me to this town - my son. Giving him up was the hardest decision I've ever made, a sacrifice I made so he could have a chance at a better life. But as I drive through these unfamiliar streets, I can't shake this newfound urge to protect him, a maternal instinct that surges within me despite years of independence and self-reliance. It's something I never felt before, yet one that grows with each passing moment, compelling me to stay and watch over him, even if it means uprooting my life again.

As I think back on my decision to remain in Storybrooke, a part of me wants to resist the idea of settling down in a town that is so foreign to me. The mayor and I are not on the best of terms, fraught with tension and, a tangled web of resentment and regret.

Perhaps, in some twisted way, I'm staying to defy Regina, to assert my presence in Henry's life despite her attempts to keep me away from him. The thought of her being angry and trying to push me out of the town fuels a rebellious streak within me, a desire to challenge her and reclaim my place as Henry's mother. Or maybe, buried beneath the layers of defiance, lies a genuine yearning to connect with my son, to bridge the gap that separates us forge a bond, and to be able to get to know who he truly is.

As I grapple with these emotions, one thing remains clear - my son's well-being is more important than anything. Whether I stay out of spite or genuine concern, I'm determined to be a presence in his life, to make sure that my son is looked after and doesn't get hurt.

As I fully decide on what to do with the road ahead, one thing becomes clear: my son is my anchor in this sea of uncertainty. I am not sure if I would even be happy here but this part of me wants to be with my son, to maybe make up for having given him up as a baby even if I knew he didn't end up like I did. I want to be there for him, to try and be a mother so he doesn't end up growing up the way I did.

until next time,

Emma Swan"

[CN] MLQC Lucien's Through Thousands of Mirrors event translation (Day 7 - Wednesday)

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT⚠️

This post contains a HEAVY SPOILER for the event that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

Through Thousands of Mirrors Event | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 (You're here!) | HS/Uni SSR Story: Monochrome Scenery

[PREVIEW]

This week's neuroscience class involves group research and assignments, so there's no need to attend the classroom.

The long-delayed whale-watching activity is immediately put on the schedule.

With the cool morning sunlight, it doesn't take long for the boat to spot the shadows of a pod of whales.

The waves surge as the whales swim.

It feels like today is going to be a lucky day.

-

[NEUROSCIENCE]

Having an extra class-free period for independent research and study time due to the group assignment feels quite enjoyable.

Of course, Lucien hopes this joy can extend to the day of submission as well.

-

[COGNITIVE SCIENCE]

Lucien rarely sits in the cafeteria to eat.

He usually brings something to eat on the go, getting his daily nutrition while walking or reading.

Even so, even when sitting in the cafeteria, the most satisfying companion for his meal is still a textbook that needs to be studied in advance.

-

[BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE]

The professor starts sharing stories from his own student days.

When the professor mentions what his own professor researched, Lucien can't help but feel a sense of familiarity. After some thought, he realizes that this is the author of a significant number of references used in his previous research.

This must be fate.

Thinking like this, he plans to ask the professor after class if he can help introduce that scholar. He still has many questions to ask.

-

[BIOCHEMYSTRY LAB]

During the long laboratory class, there is always a bit more whispering and exchange between classmates than usual.

"Our experiment is really boring..."

"Plain and simple is the real deal. Let me tell you, I have friends who need to raise mice for their experiments."

"And then? Did they run away?"

"How could that happen! He took such good care of the mice that they ended up overweight, so he had to start over."

Lucien blinks, he feels that the slime mold in front of him has become a bit more cute.

-

[BIOCHEMYSTRY LAB]

During the intervals between each class, there are always various students rushing around within the school grounds.

Lucien is also one of the figures walking among the crowd.

He watches as time ticks away, quickening his pace, and starts seriously considering whether to buy a mode of transportation like a bicycle.

After all, he often needs to walk across the street to get to the next classroom.

Literally a street.

-

[LAB]

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Lucien feels that perhaps his next project should focus on these few people from the same laboratory with him as a case study.

Why are they still throwing parties after working around the clock, claiming it as "recharging spirits and preparing for the upcoming crictical phase of the project"?

Lucien thinks that the real reason for his exhaustion is clearly this party.

Human capabilities really do vary from person to person.

-

[LAB]

While packing up the equipment, Lucien sees several sets of NOU cards in the cabinet.

Colt enthusiastically introduces the NOU cards to him: "This is the classic version, this is the version with Braille, this is the version co-branded with a game... The history of these cards can be traced back to the first batch of graduates from Dr. Lawson!"

Lucien is a little bit stunned.

Is NOU actually traditional entertainment activity of this lab?!

Title: "Gen Z Hustle: How Side Gigs and Digital Innovation are Shaping Kenya's Youth Culture"

Introduction In the bustling streets of Nairobi, young Kenyans are busy making their mark in innovative ways that go beyond traditional careers. The rise of digital technology and Kenya’s rapidly evolving economic landscape have cultivated a unique “side-hustle culture” among Generation Z, who are actively reshaping work, community, and creativity. From influencing on social media to e-commerce and even venturing into cryptocurrency, these young hustlers are defining a new Kenyan dream that is all about resilience, creativity, and financial independence.

Side-Hustles in the Age of Social Media One of the most prominent changes in Kenya’s youth culture is the significant shift from relying solely on formal employment to embracing digital side hustles. On Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, young Kenyans are building personal brands as influencers, marketers, and content creators. This trend is largely driven by the power of social media platforms, where personalities like Azziad Nasenya and Flaqo have transformed social media virality into flourishing careers.

Platforms like TikTok and Instagram allow young Kenyans to reach broad audiences with content that resonates—comedy skits, motivational videos, makeup tutorials, and dance challenges. With brands now recognizing the influence of digital personalities, many Kenyan influencers are finding opportunities to collaborate with companies for product endorsements and advertisements. These partnerships bring a sense of visibility and empowerment that has been less accessible in traditional industries.

For 24-year-old David Mwangi, a content creator and social media strategist, the allure of influencing lies in its accessibility and potential for growth. “You don’t need a big budget to get started; you just need creativity,” he explains. David’s experience reflects the sentiment of many Gen Z Kenyans who see social media not just as a pastime but as a pathway to sustainable income.

The E-commerce Boom and the Rise of Small Online Shops In addition to influencing, e-commerce has become a major outlet for Kenyan youth looking to earn extra income. Platforms like Jumia, Kilimall, and Facebook Marketplace provide easy avenues for young entrepreneurs to start online businesses, selling anything from thrifted clothes and beauty products to locally made crafts and accessories. Kenya’s mobile payment system, M-Pesa, has also simplified transactions, allowing e-commerce to thrive even without widespread use of credit cards.

With rising unemployment rates and limited job opportunities, many young Kenyans are using digital tools to build businesses from scratch. Some youth groups have formed collectives to sell items in bulk, often buying directly from manufacturers or importing from abroad to resell at a profit. This trend, known locally as biashara za mtaa (local businesses), has created a bustling informal economy that operates largely online.

For 23-year-old Aisha Ahmed, the journey started with a Ksh 5,000 loan from her older brother. Now, she runs an online shop that specializes in selling affordable, stylish handbags through Instagram. “People think starting a business requires a lot of capital, but what really matters is finding something people need and building a brand around it,” she says.

Crypto, Forex, and the Financial Revolution Another intriguing aspect of Kenya’s Gen Z hustle culture is the growing interest in cryptocurrency and Forex trading. Although controversial, the allure of quick profits and financial independence has drawn many young people into these new financial frontiers. Kenya’s tech-savvy youth have quickly adapted to apps like Binance and Paxful, learning the intricacies of cryptocurrency trading and often mentoring each other online.

Crypto’s appeal among Gen Zers lies in its promise of empowerment and financial freedom—an opportunity to circumvent traditional banking systems. However, the lack of regulation and high risks involved have left many young Kenyans facing steep learning curves and financial losses. Despite the volatility, online communities and forums dedicated to Forex and crypto trading continue to grow, attracting young people with a “high risk, high reward” mentality.

Karanja, a 22-year-old business student, views crypto as a game-changer: “It’s the future of money,” he asserts. He has spent months learning about blockchain technology and considers it a long-term investment. Karanja’s experience highlights the optimism surrounding digital currency in Kenya, despite the risks and controversies.

Challenges Facing the Digital Hustlers While side-hustle culture has opened new opportunities, it comes with significant challenges. The competitive nature of digital influencing and e-commerce can be cutthroat, with many young people finding it hard to stand out. Mental health issues, such as stress and burnout, are becoming common among young hustlers as they juggle multiple gigs alongside their education or formal jobs.

For those in crypto and Forex, the risks are even higher. Cases of scams and Ponzi schemes have left many young investors in debt, leading some to lose faith in the industry altogether. The lack of regulation around cryptocurrency also means that youth are vulnerable to fraudsters, who often take advantage of their desire for quick financial gains.

The New Face of the Kenyan Dream Despite the challenges, side-hustle culture has become a defining feature of Gen Z in Kenya. This trend signifies a shift in how young Kenyans view success, replacing the traditional path of formal employment with a vision that values independence, innovation, and adaptability. It’s a cultural revolution rooted in digital innovation, resilience, and the determination to succeed on their own terms.

For Kenyan youth, the hustle is more than just a means to an end—it’s a way to redefine their place in society. As Aisha puts it, “It’s not just about making money; it’s about taking control of your future.”

In London, January 1968 (photos by Evening Standard/Hulton Archive/Getty Images, Chris Walter, and Pictorial Press Ltd./Alamy Stock Photo). Photo 4, an entry to the Monkee Faces contest, by David and Paul Owen from Newcastle.

"Peter Tork examines entries to NME’s Monkee Faces contest [the prizes were copies of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones Ltd.] […]. ‘Hey, what went wrong there?’ And he indicated the crazy drawing [pictured above]. ‘That’s good of Davy,’ he chortled. [...] When [NME editor] Andy [Gray] suggested Peter judge the contest in his stead, Peter remarked: ‘Not me. I’d hate to say which should win. I’d pick them all.’” - NME, January 13, 1968 (x)

"[T]he Peter Tork who peacefully sat cross-legged on a table in a small room at Decca’s Regent Street offices was Peter Tork, no acting, no clowning — just a singularly intelligent young man with a surprisingly (when you think of the TV character) wide vocabulary. ‘I don’t know why it is. I just seem to have been born with a large vocabulary and now I’m stuck with it!’ [...] At BBC-TV in Shepherd’s Bush few people knew when he was due to arrive, and literally no one knew when he would leave. I have the strong feeling that Peter would dearly love to be a normal independent human being, and be able to talk to people without the continual hustling by photographers, British representatives and general bodyguards.  On more than one occasion, armed with his own camera, he turned the tables on unsuspecting photographers, most of whom didn’t really appreciate the subtlety of the Tork sarcasm.” - David Hughes, Disc and Music Echo, January 13, 1968 (x)

"My last sight of him [after the press reception had ended] was a smiling figure signing autographs for fans in the rain, each one with a ‘Love from Peter Tork’ and a flower. And the sweet smell from the joss stick smoldering in his hand was still with me as I walked away.” - June Southworth, Fabulous 208, January 17, 1968 (x)

(...) Search terms like “stay-at-home girlfriend” (37.3 million views), “life as a stay-at-home girlfriend” (37.8 million views), “stay at home GF” (36.2 million views), and “SAHG” (34 million views) are increasingly popular on TikTok. The trend has been featured in recent pieces in the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, the latter of which attributed it to “a Gen Z move away from mid-2000s ‘girl boss’ hustle culture, and toward aspirations of a softer life.” Some of the SAHGs describe their lifestyle in similar, seemingly progressive language: “People used to ask me, ‘What’s your dream job?’ I never knew the answer. I realized it’s because I don’t dream of labor. I dream of living a soft, feminine life and being a hot housewife. It’s as simple as that,” says influencer Kendel Kay (@kendelkay) in a video with 1.6 million views from September 2023.

But as some of the comments on these TikToks vocally point out, the life of a SAHG is risky, to say the least. “It’s all well and good until he breaks up with you,” wrote one. Enter: the side of SAHG TikTok you don’t see—the post-breakup videos warning you of the financial and emotional risks that come with this lifestyle. They might not be as sparkly or aspirational (which might explain why they don’t have as many views), but they’re just as real and important. And if you’re going to surrender financial independence to become a SAHG, you should go into it with clarity about what could happen if the relationship ends.

“If you give a man the power to feed you, he also has the power to starve you.”

One of the most popular SAHG breakup videos comes from beauty and lifestyle influencer Bella Greenlee (@zizzysizzle). “Coming as somebody who has been a stay-at-home girlfriend for three years, it’s not the life you want,” Greenlee says in the video. “If he is paying for your whole life and you don’t have any income at all, there will start to be resentment. I’m just glad that I was young, I didn’t have any kids, I was not married, and I was able to start my life before I wasted more years just staying in the house.” With over 3.2 million views, Greenlee’s video has been stitched time and time again, with some people agreeing with her, and others arguing that a man’s role should be to provide financially. When I chat with Greenlee over Zoom, she stands behind what she said in her video, “If you give a man the power to feed you, he also has the power to starve you.”

Greenlee says that becoming a SAHG was “something that slowly happened.” She and her ex started dating in the early days of COVID, when she was unemployed. As their relationship got more serious, she became financially dependent on him. To her followers, everything looked rosy. “I would post ‘my day in the life,’ videos, so it would be cleaning or making breakfast,” Greenlee says. “Everybody was thinking I was living this really peaceful, happy life.” But in reality, she says, “I would clean the house more than I had to, just to keep myself entertained. I didn’t really have a lot to do, so I was kind of going crazy.” The fact that she was relying on her then-boyfriend financially meant that, as she says, “I kind of felt like I had to walk on eggshells because I knew that he had the power to take away my whole life if he wanted to. I felt like I didn’t have a voice in the relationship.”

The situation really sunk in when Greenlee discovered her ex was cheating. “It was really hard for me to be like, Oh, I’m gonna leave like a regular woman would, because he was funding my whole life, so I couldn’t just leave like that,” she says. “I really had to make a game plan for myself.”

[She is now making her own money and in a new relationship] "(...) I definitely have to have my own career. I make it known to whoever I’m talking to that I’m always going to make my own money,” she says (...)

“I am absolutely left with nothing.”

Ari Luu (@yoohooits.ariluu) has also been documenting her experience of reinventing her life on TikTok. As she puts it on her podcast Delusional Daydreams, “I have no car, I have no job, I have no money, because to be quite honest, for the past three and a half years, I’ve been a stay-at-home girlfriend. I was put in this position to stay at home, be taken care of, and really be the support system for my partner. And by doing so, I gave away everything I had. And now I am absolutely left with nothing.” (...) When Luu first began dating her ex, she explored a variety of self-employment career paths, none of which ended up working out. Her then-partner was making enough to support them both, and he’d just bought a condo. Luu moved in. “That’s kind of how it started,” she tells me on Zoom. “He was really supportive throughout my whole journey, just like I was supportive in helping him advance in his career. The only difference was I wasn’t making money.”

(...) [Feeling tired of being the only one contributing to housework, she thought] “But you know, he was contributing financially. So then it’s like, How can I speak on that? That internal conflict just got stressful.” (...) She was also struggling with her self-worth, (...) “As time went, on I started getting more uncomfortable because I wasn’t contributing anything, and I want to be proud of my own life as well,” she says. “I want to feel like I’m doing something for myself.” (...)

“One of the ultimate financial scams.”

Financial expert Farnoosh Torabi (...) is, to put it lightly, not a fan of the stay-at-home girlfriend trend. “I think it's one of the ultimate financial scams,” she says, pointing out that while stay-at-home wives often have financial protections in the event of a divorce, like spousal support and equitable division of assets acquired during the marriage, stay-at-home girlfriends don’t. “I think if you believe in feminism, it also means that you have to care about your financial well-being,” she says. “Money is power. Money is protection. When you don’t have it, and your boyfriend has it, you don’t have power. You don’t have protection. What happens when you go from being a stay-at-home girlfriend to just a stay-at-home girl?” (...)

“Money becomes used as a tool to dominate you.”

It’s exactly because of the lack of power that stay-at-home girlfriends are at a high risk for financial abuse. “When you don’t have any say in where the money goes in the household, and there’s an emphasis on you not working, that is extremely dangerous,” Torabi says. “Suddenly, you may not have permission to go buy what you want, and you have to start asking for everything. Money becomes used as a tool to dominate you. I see this happening a lot. When one person isn’t working, they have less power and less say. The person who manages all of it can take advantage of that position.” (...)

@tinyfieryghost ⧐ 🎵 ALASTOR'S MUSIC LIBRARY ASKS.

For Ghost, there is none other than Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" - a poignant reflection of the importance of self-reliance and independence. Written in 1939 and first recorded in 1941, the powerful jazz arrangement conveys the strength and determination it takes to overcome adversity. In his own thoughts, Alastor hopes that eventually, Ghost will rally to their own self-importance and understand what it means to stand up for themselves in the face of far-too-many that seek to squash them down to their presumed 'station'.

@circus-frog ⧐ 🎵 ALASTOR'S MUSIC LIBRARY ASKS.

For Fizzarolli, Alastor offers Russ Morgan's 1938 song "I've Got a Pocketful of Dreams". Written for the film Sing, You Sinners, its lyrics encourage the pursuit of goals and dreams. Despite Fizzarolli's consistent desire to be considered perfect, Alastor has faith in his ability, talent, and overall capability. The song is meant to emphasize that belief and support, even if Alastor does not always say it in so many words.

@cannibalxroses ⧐ 🎵 ALASTOR'S MUSIC LIBRARY ASKS.

Rosie's inherent desire for a real connection - one that Alastor knows he falls woefully short of - leads him to settle on the 1936 ballad, "Until the Real Thing Comes Along", as sung by Fats Waller. She has only ever expressed her want and need for someone to truly commit to, though he is aware that the path to that has been rife with pitfalls, mistrust, and other such shortfalls of humanity. His desire is that she will find it, eventually - whether it is with him or otherwise.

@infernal-blaze (vox) ⧐ 🎵 ALASTOR'S MUSIC LIBRARY ASKS.

For Vox, Alastor suggests the 1933 Don Bestor and Dudley Mecum track: "Forty-Second Street." The tune is a classic testament to the hustle and bustle of New York City, and the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the excitement and glamour within. He knows that Vox has only ever been a product of such a town with quick-witted perceptions and a need to constantly be on the go. The song embodies both his origin and his personality quite well in that way.

[viadescioism]

One thing that I incorporated into my practice that I didn't see coming was the nine elements of Hip Hop. Which are laid out by KRS-One, in his song "9 Elements,":

Breakin': This refers to breakdancing, an energetic form of street dance that includes various moves such as spins, freezes, and power moves. (This is incorporated into my practices of Dance and my practices of martial arts as they are connected in my practice.)

Emceein': This is the art of MCing, or rapping. It involves the delivery of rhymes and wordplay over beats and is a key element in hip hop music. (This is connected to my practices of poetry, and language specifically how it is used with incantations when related to the Arskasa.)

Graffiti Art: Often simply known as graffiti, this element involves visual art, typically executed in public spaces, often with spray paint. It's considered a form of self-expression and rebellion against norms. (This is connected to my Sigil practice.)

Deejayin': DJing involves manipulating sounds and music on turntables to create new music. It's a fundamental aspect of hip hop, often providing the beats to which MCs rap. (This is connected to my practice of music magick.)

Beatboxin': This is the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. It's often used to accompany rappers in the absence of instrumental beats. (This is connected to my practice of music magick.)

Street Fashion: This element reflects the distinctive styles of clothing and accessories that originated from the hip hop culture, often characterized by items like oversized clothes, sneakers, and caps. (This is connected to my practice of cultural clothing for my tradition and how that is used to portray people style and express their skaknao.)

Street Language: This refers to the vernacular and slang that originate from hip hop culture and communities, often used in rap lyrics and everyday conversation. (This is again connected to my understanding of the Arskasa.)

Street Knowledge: This element encompasses the knowledge and awareness of the social, political, and economic realities that shape the urban experience and hip hop culture. (This is connected to my understandings of philosophy, rhetoric, and political involvement.)

Street Entrepreneurialism: This involves the business aspects of hip hop, such as starting independent record labels, promoting concerts, and other ventures that allow artists and others in the culture to earn a living from their craft. (so far this is more just connected to the hustle. Which we all have to do and it may be connect to money and career Magick.)

These elements are closely aligned with facets of my existing practice and have intersected with my philosophy, spirituality, or religious beliefs. However, they represent a comprehensive system that embraces all aspects of living in the world.
