niche (not really) music artists to help you be more performative

another semester has passed and i no longer foresee any english classes. they stress me out too much and i'm afraid of getting accused of ai cause i LOVE using semicolons and em dashes and random big words in the middle of my sentences. i've been trying to mitigate that and become a better writer by writing on here but it does NOT help...

i should preface this by saying that there are many different forms of male manipulators & today i will be focusing on the kind that is always on fashion tiktok and using wired headphones and most definitely has pierced ears with specifically silver hoop earrings. hope this guide helps you outperform them.

1. the deep

the deep's music totally reflects early 2010s ish "indie sleaze" type pop music (e.g. far east movement or kesha) but i think most people have probably heard angel tattoo by her—honestly i didn't really fw it that much at first but it's grown on me.

2. kimj

kimj (along with sebii) did produce that track by the deep. though i think kimj is still a bit more niche than sebii. he's worked with a lot of western artists in the past (i think recently nate sib) but his own music is also reminiscent of 2010s edm music. i really liked this track on korean.

3. the bird

two artists whose names start with the... interesting. anyways this specific track i'm gonna post had ren g in conjunction (on vocals i think) but a lot of the bird's music uses the same sample that lady gaga does.

4. YT

he's actually really popular but i'm not sure if that is outside of england. i've never heard anyone from here talk about him but i really like his production. i don't really know the term for what this kind of track is called but i like it and i think everyone should listen to it.

5. enhyphen

i actually just couldn't think of another artist but to be fair like if i was a male manipulator i'd def have some sort of kpop group in my playlist. i think newjeans is too easy and predictable so i'm gonna go with enhyphen (and i like lowkey fw their music...)

5. tonser

i just thought of another artist. i think i posted about him on here once before because i remember he was a lot less popular until 2hollis blew up with gold and now this evil hyperpop edm blend is really popular i think people should hop on tonser. his music is kind of joyous like a carol i think.

i wish you all well in your journeys fighting off evil men. more posts coming soon. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I've never liked the RUOK campaign and if you want to know why, I just got a RUOK ad sponsored by Nescafe (owned by Nestle)

Did . Did you retards forget that the minimum wage in states like California and Florida is $22/hr already? And it STILL aint shit? Ykno, because they keep fucking the economy anytime we make half a dollar more- just to make things more expensive for the poor just so they can have us fighting for scraps?

Did you retards forget that the cruelty is the point? That keeping us poor no matter how much money we make is the goal here? To ultimately warp our ideas of the value of money until the whole thing shits itself even harder?

Good luck trying to make a majority of the U.S population “vote” for this bullshit and understand that it’s not “communism” to not want to be fucked by your gvmt

I can tell I’m depressed because in the last 4 months ive filled like. 4 or 5 pages of my sketchbook. BACK DEMONS BACK

[regheart]

there's something i find particularly annoying in this fandom and it's the way purebloods are written as highly sophisticated extremely rich and straight up a rip off of regency period novels

i understand the choice of this specific portrayal, i can see it as an approximation to historical drama, where the social restrictions are compelling and are relevant to the story, and a good writer can make any concept believable and good

HOWEVER as much as the worldbuilding on wizarding costumes (and a lot of other things) is extremely inconsistent and gets progressively worse towards the later three books, the implications that i see don't point towards this version of a sophisticated performatic elite who interacts only with itself

while i tend to see the blood status in the harry potter universe as a distinction of class and not at all a distinction of race, i don't think the difference is, in practice, as marked as it is in real world contexts, mostly because of how numerically small and insulated the wizarding community is

this post is part of my personal vendetta against purebloods as charming aristocrats & what appears to be the necessity of writing each and all of them as so very well spoken and politically savvy and never-caught-dead-speaking-to-a-half-blood

for once, the sacred twenty-eight is extra canon information and is disputed IN UNIVERSE, because it was anonymously published and received backlash for the inclusion (weasley, ollivander) and exclusion (crabbe, goyle, potter) of certain names

the malfoys are the only extremely rich family we see in canon. extra canon information tells us they made money before the statute of secrecy by trading with muggles

compare that to the potters who are also very rich (there's no scale to tell us who is the richer family), but made most of their money from the invention of sleakezy in the 20th century

the blacks are also implied to be wealthy: sirius manages to live off his inheritance after buying harry an expensive broom, and he says his grandfather likely paid for an order of merlin

there's a lot to be said about the blacks (e.g. they should have at least a couple more properties other than grimmauld place), but the big picture and the similarity with the gaunts (not about the incest, stop fixating on that) suggest they were a family in decadence by the time sirius was growing up

i believe that the implication is that neither of them had a proper job, which creates a similarity with gentry, but gentry lived off rentals and while it is possible they had a country state i don't think grimmauld place was making a lot of money

lucius malfoy also didn't work and spent a portion of his time being a school counselor (and obviously not being paid for it, as it was a way to exercise his political power over the main learning institution in his community)

it's also extra canon that the nott family had equal footing with the malfoys, so we can assume that crabbe, goyle, parkinson and bulstrode were slightly beneath them, either in social standing or money, despite the later two being part of the sacred twenty-eight (or it could appear to be so because pansy and milicent are girls)

the weasleys are obviously the main example of a poor sacred twenty-eight family, as were the gaunts

the crouch family was most like rich (they could afford a house elf), but it's likely that most of that money came from mr. crouch having a high level ministry job. his family and connections were probably an advantage to getting the job, but it's possible he wouldn't be able to maintain the lifestyle without working

longbottom, prewett and macmillan are families that appear to be very traditional, but not remarkably wealthy

other working members of the sacred twenty-eight are: horace slughorn (school teacher, but it can be argued that teaching hogwarts is a prestigious position), garrick ollivander (wand maker and shop owner, but, again, the only wand maker, which holds a certain prestige in itself), mr. burke (shop owner), arthur weasley (ministry employee), frank longbottom and kingsley shacklebolt (both aurors). amycus and alecto carrow are also temporary hogwarts teachers

the blacks married out of the sacred twenty-eight many times (max, gamp, crabbe, potter)

all of these people and every single muggleborn goes to the same school, buy magical supplies at the same place, drink from the same pubs, etc. that alone should serve as evidence that there aren't many exclusive pureblood hangouts around

the only place that seems to attract the malfoys (arguably the richest and most important pureblood family in the 90s) and not most other people, is the knockturn alley, which is hardly a high brow sophisticated spot

except for malfoy and flint, no slytherin quidditch player during the 90s is in the sacred twenty-eight, so that's hardly a criterion for making it into the team

mulciber is not a sacred twenty-eight name, they could very well be half-bloods

tom riddle and severus snape were half-blood students who formed ties with purebloods while in school and held blood supremacist views, assimilation to a certain level was possible

🎙️ “The Homo Hypocrite Sapien”

Why the f*ck are you even trying to give me advice?

You’re one bad day away from flinging your own feces like your chimp cousins. There, I said it.

You think you're the apex species? You're the apex contradiction.

You call yourself evolved. But the moment your coffee order’s wrong, you’re one delay away from biting an innocent.

You think your ethics are stable? You swap moralities like outfits. You treat outrage like perfume. You spray it everywhere. And wonder why everyone around you is gagging.

🦧 Congratulations, Homo Hypocrite Sapien. You made it to the top of the food chain by devouring your own logic. You moralize while monetizing. You preach while bleeding convenience.

You fake tears for animals and fund drones for weddings.

🥗 Let’s start with your vegan morality cosplay.

You plate compassion like it makes you holy. But you vote for systems that harvest infants like crops.

You light candles for cows but applaud scalpels in utero.

You protest meat while supporting legislation that butchers babies.

But hey, it’s “your choice.” Just not for the calf. Or the kid. Or the truth.

You cry for chickens but cheer when a man is executed.

You wail for pigs but demand prison rape jokes for predators.

You kneel for animals. You spit on humans.

You rescue cats. You block ambulances.

You say peace. You fund war.

And while you do it?

You lecture. You preach. You perform. You record yourself. Because virtue isn’t real unless someone likes it.

🧴 Let’s talk products.

You boycott fur coats but wear leather purses.

You protest palm oil then slap cruelty-free stickers on rare earth-mineral phones dug out by children in Africa.

You love nature. You flatten forests for wind farms.

You worship green. You vote for bombs.

Your empathy is audition tape-level bullsh*t.

You’re not a good person. You’re a filtered performance of what one might look like.

💍 You want the biggest diamond. Not because you understand love. Because you understand envy. You measure affection in carats. You measure status in sacrifice.

Human sacrifice.

You didn’t forget where diamonds come from. You ignored it. For the gram. For the glow.

Your engagement ring is someone else's child soldier flashback. Your white wedding is built on blood.

But go ahead.

Tell me about justice. Tell me about compassion. Tell me about humanity. I’ll wait.

🧼 You washed your hands. In water stolen from the earth. With soap tested on rats. In a sink manufactured by slave labor. In a bathroom built on bulldozed land.

And when the lights flicker? You panic. Because your “ethics” require WiFi.

🕊️ You don’t fight for peace. You perform stability. You simulate humanity. Because you can’t survive the mirror.

You don’t know what a woman is. You don’t know what a man is. You think gender is fluid, until the custody battle. Then suddenly biology matters.

You want unisex bathrooms but gender-specific shelters.

You want freedom but panic when someone disagrees.

You want conversation but label it hate if it makes you feel anything.

Your morality isn’t principle. It’s preference. And preference dies the moment you’re inconvenienced.

🔥 You love animals?

Name the five insecticides in your pantry. Name the number of mice killed by grain harvesting.

You kill millions of tiny animals just to eat your fing quinoa in peace.***

You want “ethical sourcing?” Try not eating.

🐶 You euthanized your dog. Then printed her on a pillow. You killed your best friend because she was sad. You called it mercy. You posted a tribute.

That wasn’t love. That was emotional tax evasion.

You love animals. You love the ones that don’t inconvenience you. The clean ones. The Instagrammable ones. Not the roaches you stomp. Not the raccoons you cage. Not the rats you poison.

You love life. As long as it’s pretty.

You march for women. But laugh when men kill themselves. You chant about rights. Then abuse your own sons.

You say “believe all women.” Until she accuses your favorite singer. Then it’s “nuance.”

You burn down cities to protest injustice. Then steal sneakers.

You cry for George Floyd. Then share clips of gang fights with popcorn emojis.

You pretend to care. But care is exhausting.

So you scroll past genocide. You mute the inconvenient.

You turn tragedy into moodboards.

🪞 You don’t want truth. You want catharsis.

You want virtue without consequence.

You want moral superiority without moral consistency.

You despise billionaires. But worship Oprah. You hate the rich. But dream of private jets.

You bash corporations. While drinking Starbucks. Every day.

You cancel people for saying slurs in 2006. While streaming Kanye.

You boycott Chick-fil-A. But own six Nest cameras and a Ring doorbell.

You brag about empathy. Then giggle at memes about people dying.

You blast “mental health awareness.” Then ignore the friend who’s withdrawing.

You talk about inclusion. Then gatekeep movements.

You are terminally performative.

A cosplay of compassion. A mannequin of morality. A flesh puppet of fashionable ethics.

🌱 You don’t care about plants. You care about aesthetics.

You don’t care about minorities. You care about points.

You don’t want equity. You want power redistribution— to YOU.

You don’t want peace. You want quiet compliance.

You don’t want freedom. You want permission to feel superior.

And you expect me to take your advice?

You? The walking contradiction? The moral flipbook? The face-swap of sincerity? The ethical weather balloon?

Nah. I’m good.

You want to save the world?

🛑 Admit you’re a hypocrite. Admit your compass is broken. Admit your kindness is cosmetic. Admit your activism is aesthetic.

Because once you admit you’re full of sh*t…

You can start being real.

You can start choosing integrity over identity.

You can start owning the contradictions.

And maybe—just maybe— you’ll evolve into Homo Honest Sapien.

But until then?

Stay in your lane, Hypocrite.

And maybe...

Start by shutting the f*ck up.

School of Performatic(?) Arts

[perasperaadpasta]

Between the widespread initial response of "it's all a transphobic conspiracy! (against some other guy!)" and the "I'll wait for a verdict :) I'll remain neutral until he's found guilty by a court of law :)))))))" you people could not possibly prove harder what dumbfuck hypocrites you are.

Superficial, performatic, empty.

You clearly never assed yourselves to learn a single comma about institutionalized misogyny, about sex biases in the justice system, about reporting, investigation and conviction rates for sexual offences, about real power dynamics.

You parrot slogans with your full chest that all cops are bastards and believe victims but the atom split second you have to actually practice it it's well, cops will handle this, let's hear the rapist' side before we believe victims (maaaybe), to be FAIR, in this completely equitable system.

White first worlders will trample each other trying to be the most allyest non-racist who listens to minorities the mostest completely oblivious to the fact THEY are talking over us, and then not even pretend they give a shit when their pet white fuck is a sex pest 'cause he did write great works! great shows! some people would literally kill themselves without this one rapist's quintessential two-british-middle-aged-men-get-freaky-pg13-style (there's only ONE of these!).

You stupid spoiled shits.

You're the fucking system, morons. You're the thing victims are afraid will happen if they come forward.

I hate you all so much.

rewind the tape ep 2 question: Why do you think it's important for Louis to maintain the thread of his humanity, specifically by doing so through having a human meal he can't taste?

i had to answer this question bc i'm obsessed w it and what it reveals about louis narratively. i think it's important for louis to keep up the motions of humanity in a way that mimics connection. louis is desperate for authenticity but only if the gesture carries symbolism but the moment one imbues ritual into an action, the action is now a performance even if the audience is just the performer. i've talked about the usage of the golden spoon in this scene before but it adds an extra layer of performatism (in the post-postmodern sense) to the whole scene.

but on top of that performative aspect, i think it's interesting that the gesture of humanity louis chooses to preserve is eating food. this whole ep prominently features louis' struggles w hunting and how his vampiric hunger almost drove him to kill his nephew and further alienated him from his family, his human connections. the interview is also placed entirely in a dining room. daniel eats human food but these meals are more aesthetic than satiating w the presentation of an experimental fine dining establishment while louis drinks blood from a mysterious farm, eats a live fox, and then drinks from a human man all on the other side of the table. the way eating is presented in this ep feels almost hostile. daniel comments that louis "missed" several endangered species in what he chose to serve daniel, ultimately leading daniel to participate in predatory, unethical consumption alongside louis. and i think that's the point. serving daniel these meals attempts to force a reluctant empathy (one that daniel rejects and instead voices his disgust). and then he asks daniel this:

louis does. it's all he contemplates. what he eats and how he eats it symbolizes his separation from humanity. so in this mode of thinking, louis decides to make his tenuous tether to humanity by eating human food once a week. and the dish he chooses in this scene is taken from an emotionally significant moment from daniel's memoir, another act of proposed empathy between him and daniel. and while this moment is softer than the scene w the fox or damek, it still ends in this shot:

louis and daniel are sharing this meal and this moment but they're so far from each other. to me this demonstrates the futility of the gesture. they're physically performing the same action but their experience is so fundamentally different. louis is performing human actions but he is at this point so far removed from the concept

[niconiconwo]

One of the culprits was radical inclusivity btw; a self-serving ideology that boiled down to performing kindness so you could avoid feeling bad, or at least get away from social scolds.

It has literally accomplished nothing useful, has not created any ideas of value, and serves little purpose beyond self-aggrandising at other people's expense.

Basically a contemptible new-ageism version of just not being a dick to people but now you have to give 'em a slap on the ass for being so damn good and heckin' wholesome. It's all more astutely called radical performatism. No one of any real merit is gonna give a shit you played nice, nor are they gonna needlessly exclude people anyways, you are not a Better Person TM for this petulant bullshit.

Fancasting the Giffen-DeMatteis-Maguire era Justice League International in the DCU

It's Bwa-ha-ha time. Basically every character who hasn't been cast yet (i.e. everyone except Guy Gardner and Booster Gold, who I've assumed is set to be played by Kumail Nanjiani).

Brandon Sklenar (1923, Midway, It Ends With Us) as Bruce Wayne/Batman

-Can Pull off "Certified Hunk" -Looks great in a suit -Isn't just "stern guy with deep voice" -Build is near-perfect. built & muscular, but not too wide. -Fairly reasonable age to be handling Damien & rest of Bat-Family.

Rob McElhenney(It's Always Sunny In Philladelphia, Mythic Quest) as Ted Kord/Blue Beetle II

-Can play dorky, fed up, and "IQ lowered when around a certain person" -Other than that, pretty big range, great with physical performance. -Similar age to Kumail Nanjiani, who I've accepted is playing Booster. -Can basically play any body type.

Daniel Radcliffe(Swiss Army Man, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story) as Scott Free/Mister Miracle

-Incredible range, could play any version of the character, Kirby, King, whatever -Leaning towards the King interpretation, can still look great disheveled. -Relatively short, would make whoever plays Barda look bigger by comparison.

Demi "Rhea Ripley" Bennet(WWE) as Barda Free/Big Barda OKAY HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT -She can play big and intimidating. -Also shows decent amount of emotion in sparse moments during performances/in interviews. -Built perfectly, toned body, with broad shoulders. -Has potential to be next great wrestler-turned actress, in the vein of Dave Bautista and John Cena.

Warwick Davis(Return of the Jedi, Willow, Life's Too Short) as Oberon Kurtzberg

-Decent range, able to go toe to toe with Val Kilmer in Willow. -Able to be funnier than one might expect, see Life's Too Short. -Aside from the hair, he's the spitting image of Oberon as drawn by Kevin Maguire.

Camila Mendes(Riverdale, Do Revenge, Palm Springs) as Beatriz DaCosta/Fire.

-Shows great amount of potential as an actress -Can play the kind of endearing, charming, fun, and slightly airheaded personality that I want for fire very easily. -Is of Brazilian descent. -Has experience with goofy/comic book-y plots.

Ulrikke Falch(Skam/Shame) as Tora Olafsdotter/Ice

-Can nail the girl-next-door, yet also extremely sincere energy I would like Ice to have. -Is a Norwegian actress who can speak perfect english. -Is of similar age to my pick for Fire. -Is just an overall well-educated and smart person, in addition to being a fantastic performer.

Samara Weaving(Ready or Not, Scream VI, Bill and Ted Face The Music) as Dinah Drake Lance/Black Canary II -Can play just really done with everything, as in JLI -Spectacular at deadpan comedy. -Can kick serious ass -Has a killer scream

Anna Akana(Amphibia, Wrestling isn't Wrestling) as Kimiyo Hoshi/Doctor Light II -Her work on Matt Braly's Amphibia shows an impressive range, from dramatic to comedic, something she excels at. -Can play that kind of overly-driven, borderline arrogant personality seen in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Viggo Mortensen(The Lord of the Rings, Eastern Promises, A History of Violence) as Kent Nelson/Doctor Fate I

-Has that kind of Gravitas/Prestige needed to bring Doctor Fate to life -Can play that kind of cold/borderline nihilistic vibe Kent had in Ram V's JLD run,

Jimmy Tatro(22 Jump Street, American Vandal, Theater Camp) as Captain Marvel/Shazam -Has the kind of Childlike Himbo sort of energy, as seen in 22 Jump Street & American Vandal, that works real well for Captain Marvel/Shazam. -Also shows decent amount of emotional range, not just comedic, in American Vandal

Leslie Odom, Jr.(Hamilton, Glass Onion, Murder on the Orient Express, One Night In Miami) as J'onn J'onzz/John Jones/Martian Manhunter. -Has the chops. Odom, Jr. is one of the most electric performers in recent memory. -Performance as Aaron Burr in Hamilton (specifically in "The Election of 1800) proves he can pull off the Cooke-esque "Corny as a comic book" performative nature of John Jones. -Could also nail that betrayed look that MM had in New Frontier after hearing about John Wilson's death. And that's it. Not totally confident with some of these choices, but if these performers become the lineup for the JLI, I think we'll get some great portrayals of these beloved characters. Let me know if you think I'm on to something or if I should just shut up already.

Pitiful, Performatic and Pathetic

Cavill made 4 big mistakes in his professional life:

1 – He decided to stage 24/7 a fake persona he no longer can sustain,

2 - He accepted being a Hollywood escort for the spotlight,

3 – He agreed to escort a tramp, a scum and

4 – He allowed his team to destroy his image and reputation with immoral, unscrupulous, malicious and unethical damage control.

Fans were blocked, lost their accounts on IG and were threatened. His team intentionally divided the fandom, putting fans against fans, expecting a part to do their dirty job.

And all that, because, he was deceived by immoral people who decided to mock him and he had to humiliate himself escorting an exhibitionist tramp as punishment, without letting fans know.

Why didn’t he do his homework, first? Got so excited with the attention he would get by following the promiscuous’ plan, that he didn’t even care for his integrity?

That’s what happens when a person who has it all is greedy. He had it all, but it wasn’t enough. And, someone knew he would bite the bait.

Up to now, the only statement from his lips that came true is “ You are the reflection of the people you surround yourself with”. He had four years to prove it. And, he did.

[hotdogmexicano]
