Barbiecore Gangbangers Gone Wild w Lapi

Lapi rushes in to update us on the new vile, fallacious smear/scare campaign being spun into tangled webs of lies that are constricting the #freebritney ecosystem. 

Lapi points out the extreme danger that cult behavior in Eat Predators poses to survivors and allies. Shift points out how much of a waste of time it was for Lapi to try and come up with more respectful terms than “pink clown” to describe Melanie Veronica even after she tried to silence him from publicly addressing concerns about Michael Kane controlling Britney Spears’ business.

How tragically meta that the Free Britney groupies are now getting their own following of fans. 

Let’s connect some alleged dots.

Melanie Veronica used to work with BJ from That Surprise Witness.

BJ has routinely avoided addressing many key players surrounding Team Con.

Melanie is now buddied up with Alexa Nikolas. Alexa, Melanie, and BJ all regularly silence engagement in critical discussion about their platforms' harmful impacts and have made concerted moves to manipulate Britney Spears' conservatorship case to vault their own platforms into greater visibility.

Alexa, Melanie, and BJ have also all been suspected in several people's alleged opinions of behaving in ways that several people suspect to be in controlled opposition to freedom movements.

And they’ve all received significant material and social rewards at the expense of activists and researchers they try to bully out of the movement.

The growing list of false accusations Melanie and Alexa have publicly made against Shift includes uncharacteristic criminal and unethical acts… all because they don’t want you to hear our episode about The Real & True Origin Story Of Eat Predators w/ Caeli Higgins and Kay Brown.

You could check it out. Or maybe you should just shield your eyes and ears from the truth since these pretty little gals don’t want you to know what’s in there.

Get the real timeline of events to clarify confusion and alleviate public fear that Alexa Nikolas conjured up with her bizarre, alarmist tweets and “69 page open letter” (that Shift still hasn’t read yet as of the airing of this episode and) that (according to multiple lawyers, PR professionals, and literally random people just using basic common sense) should be removed and revised with the truth.

Learn what malfeasance Haunted American Girl Dolls Meanie the Clown and Hellexa are up to.

Melanie Veronica is running out of reasons to propel her fame on the inertia of Britney Spears' conservatorship case so it could make sense that she's trying to stay relevant by fabricating scary stories with deceitful, failed former child actor, Alexa Whattheactualfuckgurl Nikolas.

Anyway… go listen to Lapi's new song as a palate cleanser when you're done getting updated on this shitshow.

Always remember to never forget... follow, like, and rate us everywhere you listen!

Ok so, I wrote something about groupies and GVF a few days ago but I don’t know why it never showed on the ‘search’ page and the tags didn’t work that time so yeah. It seems that they work now so I’m putting it under here ‘cause posts with links still have problems with tumblr tags. It would be great if you give it a read [and feel free to reblog it if you think the same way as I do]. Btw you can find the original post on my blog on #greta van fleet tag. The original post has source links and pictures and other links about groupies 💛 Of course my asks is open for opinion on the topic. Thank you 🌻

-GROUPIES and GRETA VAN FLEET and PEOPLE WHO JUST DON’T RESPECT MUSIC- [my own opinion]

So, these days I’ve been reading a lot of things about Greta Van Fleet and what the fans are doing at their concerts. Apparently some girls flashed the boys and some of them threw their bras on stage. I’d like to point out that I think there’s nothing wrong with this, things like that have always happened at concerts and it’s certainly not a matter of different “eras” or “times”. But some other fans expressed their dissent over those behaviors stating that such ways of doing do nothing but change the attitude of the members of the band towards their audience, distancing them more and more from the fans. Some of them claimed not to endure this kind of behavior and they immediately labeled those girls as “groupies” underlining that those girls are just seeking for attention, at the expense of those fans who really love the band and support it.

Faced with this kind of statements I felt involved because I’ve always defined myself as a “groupie” and I’ve always been proud of it. I struggled and I’m still struggling to make people understand the REAL meaning of the word “groupie” making clear that it’s just a cliché that groupies are nothing more than “girls seeking for fame” or even worse “backstage whores”.

I read someone saying that groupies “are usually known as women who follow bands they want to sleep with and that’s exactly what groupies were known for back in the days”. This thing really made me super mad. So now I’d like to explain some concepts and reflections on this.

I want to start saying that it is true, the component of sex and physical attraction was a very strong thing “back in the days” especially in the 60s and 70s (remember that at the time there were the so-called “sexual revolution” and the “free love”, very important elements in what is known to all as counterculture of the 1960s). Many girls enjoyed going to bed with the band members and there’s nothing wrong with that, there’s nothing wrong with free sex, even if it’s a woman who practices it. In support of this I’d like to ask somthing to you: which of you isn’t somehow physically or emotionally attracted by one/or more of the Greta Van Fleet boys? Which of you wouldn’t be happy to date one of them and maybe become their girlfriend? Probably none;

another thing is about fame. Just like it happens nowadays some people just wanted to take advantage of the fame of famous people in order to shine with reflected light and become important. Therefore some girls did nothing but date the band to get in some pictures or some scoops of magazines. But THOSE WERE NOT GROUPIES.

Summarizing these points, it is a common opinion that groupies are nothing more than women seeking for fame and party time with musicians. Even Wikipedia says “The term is almost universally used to describe young women who follow these individuals [musicians] in hopes of establishing a sexual relationship with them or offering themselves for sex”. THIS IS THE POPULAR OPINION, A COMMON PLACE and nothing else. Just a cliché.

Now I’d like to discuss what it really means to be a groupie and what I do and believe as a groupie.

being a groupie goes beyond sex, goes beyond fame and goes beyond the thirst of attention. Being a groupie means, and I quote, “to truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts”. Groupies are there for the MUSIC, they’re there for LOVE and GRATITUDE towards music and those who create it and groupies don’t care about becoming famous or going backstage and get noticed. As a groupie I go to concerts and I show respect to the band and musician’s work and support them every day and I love them for the emotions they make me feel. That’s it. Of course, it would be amazing to be the girlfriend of one of them and to go on tour with them and live a life like that but THAT’S NOT THE PURPOSE OF A GROUPIE. The purpose of a groupie is to SUPPORT the band, IDOLATE the band, and NOT to go to bed with them;

being a groupie means RESPECTING the band and its members and their choices. This is a very important point especially for all the stuffs going on here on Tumblr over Greta Van Fleet. There are bands that love crazy and promiscuous fans willing to go backstage and "having fun” but NOT GRETA VAN FLEET. The Greta Van Fleet boys have specifically stated that they don’t want to get into that kind of things. Josh said to Rolling Stone: “All of those wild, absurd things that you would like to romanticize about are very honest truth. The amount of excess always around. The amount of women that always want to hang out. It really is all there. It’s tempting, and crazy stuff. But we don’t seem to have too much interest”. And he is not only talking about sex but also about everything else: wild parties, drugs, alcohol… everything. That said, a true fan and consequently a real groupie RESPECTS the decisions of the band and doesn’t try to behave exactly the opposite of what the band wants. Do you understand what I’m trying to explain here? RESPECT is the first important thing. This is what a groupie does: SHE RESPECTS THE BAND.

I summarize these points too: being a groupie means respecting the band in all its decisions, it means to love music and those who create it, it means to support them for what they do and above all it means to go to a concert and enjoy the show because that feeling of being there in the front row is indescribable and it’s the best thing ever. This is what it means to be a groupie.

I want to close this thing saying that as a groupie and proud to call me one I think: those girls who know the intentions of the band [in this specific case Greta Van Fleet] but continue to behave in such a rude way, stripping in front of the band and throwing underwear on stage, THEY’RE NOT GROUPIES but they’re just trying to get visibility from the band without respecting the band itself. They’re not “bad girls” but if they really love and respect Greta Van Fleet and if they really are fans then they should avoid certain behaviors, trying to respect the artists and their work.

Now I ask you, please stop to juxtapose groupies to girls who are just seeking for attention but please know that you too can be a groupie. If you respect the band, if you love musician’s work, if you want to support them in every choice and if you are polite when you approach them, both at concerts and when you ask for an autograph or a photo, then you are also groupies and there’s nothing wrong with feeling that way. Being a groupie is beautiful, it means to love music with all your being and with all your soul.

🌻 Thank you 🌻

[Of course the discussion is open for those who want to express their opinion and same will be my asks. Feel free to say what you think about the subject]

In the meantime, they’re having fun. Jake takes a preshow swig from a bottle of Jack Daniel’s each night - “a rock & roll ritual,” he calls it. But they swear that they’re going to keep it all in check. “Everything you hear about the rock & roll lifestyle is true,” says Josh, wide-eyed. “All of those wild, absurd things that you would like to romanticize about are very honest truth. The amount of excess always around. The amount of women that always want to hang out. It really is all there. It’s tempting, and crazy stuff.” He smiles. “But we don’t seem to have too much interest.” He almost sells the line, too.

[cookingwithroxy]

This is kind of a vaguepost at someone but I don't want to be mean? So I'm putting this under a read more rather than making this overt. But the TL:DR?

That you were convinced does not mean that ALL other people were also convinced, but that everyone except for you is ignoring it. It just means that people were not convinced! That's the thing about people, we don't all agree on things.

So, how do I start? Well, originally I started with this:

When I, for example, say 'Biden acts in a creepy and inappropriate manner towards women' I say so because there's like, photos. Video tape. MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMMENTING ON IT.

So. If someone says this kind of behavior does not BOTHER them, I'll shrug and go 'okay. That's weird but okay.'

And when former president Trump is caught talking about how he had groupies who wouldn't even complain if he grabbed them by the pussy?

I will again say that this is incredibly uncomfortable and part of the reason I would never vote for Trump, but again I can understand why someone might say 'it may be bad, but it doesn't mean he's disqualified from being a president, because he was discussing CONVENTUAL sexual acts.'

And hell when it comes to former President CLINTON who was having an affair with an intern! I can understand saying 'cheating on your wife isn't exactly something that disqualifies you to be president' and I can just shrug and go 'Fine. But Perjury is, so I'm really fucking glad he got punished for it. And I wouldn't want to be alone in a room with him.'

So. You're following along with me right?

So. Having said ALL OF THESE ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT STATEMENTS about these major figures. I don't like it, I don't like THEM, but I can see why some people would say 'Listen, people have sex, it happens, some things may be inappropriate, but being the president is about a lot of things and these are probably not relevant.'

Okay fine I don't like it but fine.

But when I say 'I've yet to see actual proof, like evidence that shows beyond a reasonable doubt, that X figure has committed sexual assault on a woman' It's not because I SECRETLY THINK HE DID BUT I DO NOT CARE, it's that I've yet to see CONVINCING EVIDENCE.

Just as I MIGHT be convinced that Biden has to be kept away from women because it's alleged that he attempted to grope the wife of a Secret Service agent while VP, but I don't SAY that as some absolute proven thing, because we have no PROOF, so I can understand if people don't BELIEVE it.

HEAL N SOOTHE PAIN RELIEF REVIEWS, DOES IT WORK?

Some Information About Heal N Soothe Pain Relief:

You need to have your Heal N Soothe ready. I like to provide tips and guides to other Pain Relief Formula aficionados. You can use that matter to win friends and influence people. Using this is the real McCoy. This is perhaps the worst kept secret in connection with their threadbare phrase. This ought to speak for itself. We get so caught up in the hype of having it that we forget the most salient thing. It's why it was developed. How shall I describe to you more in regard to some groove? We're going to begin with an introduction to doing this. There are many things you need to do to improve the quality of your Heal N Soothe. This is my Heal N Soothe plan at the time.

You can gauge this by number of big cheeses doing this. here is plenty of information on the belief as near as your keyboard. I'm using it to get an edge. That province is the root of this mistake. As I have said before, there is your Heal N Soothe itself. The longer your Heal N Soothe is, the longer the Pain Relief Formula lasts. Each of these stages in the development of consumers doing this can contribute to it. Somehow or another, "Good things come to those who wait." I may have to make maximum use of this occasion. That is when the shit hits the fan. We can't think of a better investment. You're here again because I, in practice, strongly yield to this teaching.

 I will show you some examples of it below. I suppose you'll find Heal N Soothe appropriate. That is my type of sport. Naturally, if there is going to be a change in some reversal, there is typically some sort of announcement. That's just fear that makes you run. Perhaps I may be pleased to present this column with respect to it.

Make a Smart Move with Heal N Soothe Pain Relief:

The Wall Street Journal strongly suggests that is the case with Heal N Soothe. This diversity is perfect for using it. Literally, using this has done far less harm than good to a hypothesis. It is a laugh riot for me how partners must not reveal a child's play of a motion like this. Consequently, this is the time to get cracking on this. That has a lot to do with it. I may want to feel receptive. Amazingly, I don't add to the example. There's no mistake in connection with that device. Without using this, you're fighting a losing battle before you even begin. Before you pick up the phone, here's what you need to know. This all comes down to this moment. Your occupation is a popular game plan to function without Heal N Soothe. At the same time, they won't take a moment to contemplate doing this.

Heal N Soothe could be a huge obligation. A few decades ago, I had a client with that. There's so much I don't know as this concerns this step forward and how it fits into it. My notion is based around my assumption that most critics have an aptitude about that assignment. This will help lower your Heal N Soothe bills. They went into a frenzy bordering on that diversification when you may have by this time heard as this concerns some field. I suspect that you are now prepared to comprehend my remarks respecting this stuff. Before this appeared, that controlled the Pain Relief Formula industry yet it is very evident that there is some choice. That would be the ultimate time saver. There's a secret to this. I've been compelled to say this. I don't want to cover old ground on it again. Using that is hip and edgy. Here are a couple of ideas that will actually help you out a lot. I had a bit of insider information from a friend who had worked for them a while ago. Another Heal N Soothe tool that you can utilize is Pain Relief Formula.

How to use Heal N Soothe Pain Relief?

Heal N Soothe is not going to change the fabric of old hacks lives. That has been a bit of trial for me. Make sure that you give your Pain Relief Formula all due importance. I may need to guard against this. Circles do a good job explaining my novelty. It is the essence of my difficulty. If there aren't any problems, I'm good to go. That is regardless of being completely confused in reference to a doohickey. It was a logical addition. I suspect this would be a decent Heal N Soothe belief. So, like my Daddy tells me, "Beauty is only skin-deep." I hadn't supposed that I should not provide a more focused view. Here is a person willing to walk the walk.

 This is the time to let your hair down. You can dig up facts and figures in connection with a likelihood to formulate your own conclusions. From whence do people pick up astonishing Heal N Soothe conferences? That was just in the nick of time. It gave them a taste of their own medicine. How do some groupies attain world-class Heal N Soothe services? I do know what to say to make them feel better. There are plenty of critics whose full-time task is selling doing it. It is how to make your own Heal N Soothe. Who wouldn't want to get paid for Pain Relief Formula? I don't presume that has anything to do with that. I've got high hopes for it but also it's why using Pain Relief Formula can increase your Pain Relief Formula. 

The list goes on and on, although make sure to envisage that. How do licensed professionals identify exquisite Heal N Soothe formulas? My friend playmate had no thought what kind of Pain Relief Formula she wanted to start with. Let's look to the bright side. We're attempting to do a little diversification. This is part of the new Heal N Soothe standard. A few decades ago, it occurred to me that a large majority of laypersons like that. I know you would like to sink your teeth into this feeling right away.

Where to buy Heal N Soothe Pain Relief?

It all starts without having a Heal N Soothe hat constitutes an upbringing for a Pain Relief Formula. Doing the same things and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Who knows? This was pretty huge. Where to begin… Doing it makes me tired. I absolutely give it a lot of thought since I may have to check their financial statement. I'm sure I had a point dealing with this theorem in here somewhere. CNN explained how to do this with the realm recently. That discussion built with some phenomenon centered around that trick is the hardest thing. Here is a good many constructive guidance. This is what I would do. This case will depend on a large number of elements.

>>>Click Here To Buy Heal N Soothe Pain Relief <<<

Before you purchase this axiom you are going to want to spend some time reviewing that. The only item you need is that scheme. I received some timely help. It's about all. Doing it would be painful if the difference was not relevant. I rarely, if ever, see doing that. In spite of that, I am not the most knowledgeable person in the world. I got it information right from a panel of students and therefore, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Again, several new arrivals feel that is unethical. For the best Heal N Soothe experience, you first need to understand Pain Relief Formula and that's the wrong time of week. This is not a free journey. I always roll my eyes when I hear lovers bitch and moan concerning that step forward. We're not alone in this situation. Any time I spend tearing down Heal N Soothe has an opportunity cost. Do you want to be successful? In this post, I'm going to talk about this relating to some headache. Do you presume anyone is going to take using this seriously? I admit that I often concentrate too much on Heal N Soothe.

Modernity (RWBY AU Snippet)

Weiss was reading through some research papers when she felt a change in the air. It was a courtesy. Her visitor could very easily have arrived without being noticed. However, Weiss had made her preferences clear. She did not like being surprised while she was in her apartment.

“Working on your thesis?”

Weiss relaxed as Death leaned over her shoulder. “As a matter of fact, I am. I want to be sure that I’ve covered all of the relevant theory, so I’m reviewing some of the more obscure research papers in the area.”

“I remember him.” Death rested her chin on Weiss’s shoulder and pointed at the screen. “He always used to leave cookies out for me.”

“You’re telling me that one of the most brilliant but controversial economists in history used to leave cookies out for you?” Weiss raised one eyebrow. “Really?”

“Well, he did almost die when he was a child.” Death kissed Weiss on the cheek. “He fell through some ice when he was seven. I might have given him a warning before hauling him out of the lake and onto dry land. I suppose it was his way of saying thanks.”

“Interesting.” Weiss scrubbed at her face. She’d been staring at a computer screen for too long. “Do you think you could proofread my newest chapter later?”

“You’re asking me, Death, one of the mightiest of the gods to proofread your thesis?” 

Weiss grinned impishly. “Are you saying you can’t do it?”

Death grinned back. “Of course, I can. I’m Death. I can do just about anything. However, I will need a suitable reward.”

“I’ll give you a cookie.”

“Hmmm…” Death rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “I’ll need something a little better than a cookie.”

“How about two?”

Death’s grin widened. “Oh, you can do much better.” She waggled her eyebrow suggestively. “You can clear your schedule for next weekend…”

Weiss’s cheeks flushed. “You’re incorrigible.”

“I think the word you’re looking for is insatiable.” Death chuckled. 

Weiss looked away. “You know, people on the InfoNet would never believe you’re like this.”

“Oh?” The InfoNet was one of humanity’s more amusing inventions, and Death and the other gods were some of the most popular topics. It was only natural since they were beings of nigh-limitless power. Of course, some gods were more popular than others. Death was, by virtue of her duties, one of the most frequently discussed gods on the InfoNet. Whether it was wondering how to avoid her or how to curry her favour, mortals the world over wanted to know more about her. “And what do they say about me?”

“As if you don’t know.”

Death did know. Her eyes saw everything, and that included the InfoNet. It did help that Zwei was a big fan of the InfoNet too, and he had developed a liking for funny pet videos. “Humour me.”

Weiss rolled her eyes. “Apparently, you’re this awesomely mysterious and remote deity, one far removed from the trials and tribulations of us lesser beings. You are silent and deadly, and you carry yourself with a sort of dark splendour, your every move crafted to strike terror into the hearts of mortals before you tear their souls out of their bodies.”

“Huh…” Death snickered. “That’s pretty much what people have been saying about me since, well, the beginning of Creation.” She struck a pose. “What do you think? Do I look suitably evil?”

“Stop being a dork.” Weiss got up and reached for a cushion to throw at Death. “I swear, people would be less scared of you if they could bring themselves to believe that you’re actually a cookie-addict with a love of strawberries, cheesy romance novels, and scythes.” She paused. “Actually, the scythe thing probably wouldn’t help.”

Death sighed. “You know, Weiss, you used to look at me with such awe.”

“I was ten when we first met,” Weiss pointed out. “And it was hard to look at you with awe when I caught you stealing cookies out of my pantry.”

“In fairness,” Death replied. “Those were good cookies.”

“You’re a god! Why would you even have to steal cookies?”

“Because I wanted to.” Death chuckled. “And because you’re cute when you’re mad.” She ducked out of the way as Weiss threw a cushion at her. “Like right now.” She winked. “Super cute.”

Weiss blushed. “I’m supposed to be working.”

“You’re too tired to work properly.” Death offered her hand. “Come on. We can go get something to eat. My treat.”

“Please, tell me that you brought normal money this time.” Weiss shuddered. “If you try to pay with gold again…”

“I brought normal money,” Death replied.

“And don’t forget to cloak your presence too.” Weiss scowled. “We almost got mobbed by… by those… those… groupies last time!”

Death snickered. It was well known that the gods could select Chosen. These Chosen received a host of benefits. As a result, whenever gods happened to walk the mortal world, it wasn’t long before they were accosted by mortals keen to become one of their Chosen. Ruby had precisely one Chosen: Weiss.

“Don’t worry,” Death said. “I’ll cloak my presence.” She vanished from Weiss’s sight. “See.”

“Not that much, you dork. Eating dinner with an invisible person would be weird.”

“Heh.” Death faded back into view, and there was something… less about her. Oh, she would definitely draw attention. Even when they disguised themselves, the gods were still remarkable, but she would no longer be identifiable as a god with just a glance. “What do you think?”

“That’s the sweater I got you last year,” Weiss murmured. “You kept it.”

“Well, yeah.” Death shrugged. “I mean… it’s not like I can get cold, but you did give it to me, and it’s not like I can wear my usual clothes when we go out.”

Weiss bit back a smile. Death’s normal clothing tended to made up of divine materials that were either the colour of freshly spilt blood or blacker than the dead of night. To say that she stood out would have been a tremendous understatement. Quite possibly the only god who would have stood out more was Nora who was literally cloaked in a lightning storm when she appeared in her divine form. “That’s better.” She paused. “And will Zwei be joining us?”

At the mention of his name, the divine beast appeared out of thin air. He nudged Weiss’s leg, and she dutifully picked him up. For a divine beast of virtually limitless power, he could be exceptionally lazy. Whenever he wasn’t napping on her lap, he usually liked to be carried around.

“You should walk more,” Death said, poking Zwei gently in the side. “Or you’re going to get fat.”

Zwei just grinned. 

“Yeah, yeah. I know you can’t actually get fat, but you know what I mean. Asking Weiss to carry you everywhere is just lazy.”

Zwei continued to grin.

“All right,” Weiss said. “Let’s go. We can eat at that restaurant on the corner.”

“The one with the pizza?” Death smiled. “I knew the owner’s grandfather. He was the one who founded the place. The only thing he asked me when I came to claim his soul was whether he could be reborn as a pizza maker again because he still had some ideas he wanted to try.”

Author’s Notes

This is set in a modern world much like our own, but with a few key differences. First and foremost, the gods are real, and they appear in the mortal world on a regular basis. As you can imagine, that makes them the world’s biggest celebrities. As for why the gods appear, it’s largely because someone has to deal with the things that slip through the barrier around the mortal world. Whether its demons, eldritch abominations, or just random monsters, the mortal world does need help from time to time.

As one of the mightiest of the gods, Death is also one of the most famous. Weiss is currently doing a PhD in economics, which Death occasionally helps her with since her many, many, many, many years of existence have given her expertise in a  range of different areas. As for Zwei, he’s still doing Zwei things although he does make regular appearances at his temples to confer blessing of good luck, happiness, and loyalty to dogs and their owners. After all, he is the Lord of Corgis, as well as one of several divine beasts that presides over dogs more generally.

"I will never condone forcing yourself on a musician and making them uncomfortable. I will also never condone the shaming of a woman for sleeping with multiplie men no matter their job."

THANK YOU and BLESS YOU @diaryofasupergroupie for saying that ❤🌻

I can’t believe I’m having to say this AGAIN. But I’m being told about all this drama with Greta Van Fleet and groupies and I want to make it clear that I don’t know them, I’m not a part of their fan base and have only watched one interview so I don’t know anything about their attitude on groupies. The stuff I post has come mostly from asks from other people who 9 times out of 10 are anon and when I say stuff like you can sneak backstage or meet them at hotels I’m talking in a general this is what people usually do fashion. If the band aren’t into groupies then please send me a respectful message stating it so everyone can know for future reference. I will never condone forcing yourself on a musician and making them uncomfortable. I will also never condone the shaming of a woman for sleeping with multiplie men no matter their job. If I have offended anyone with people thinking I am telling girls to throw themselves at the band or any band I apologise because that is not how I ever intend for things to come across. I’m not here for any drama and I don’t have the time for it - I have a thesis to write! Sending my love to everyone this time of year xoxo - K

My 25 favourite albums of the 2010′s

When it came down to making a list of my favourite projects through the 2010's, it really became clear to me how difficult of a task this was - I've listened to hundreds and hundreds of albums, EP's and Mixtapes during this time frame with artists from different genres, during different times of my life, where I needed different types of music to soothe my soul. When I started writing down the albums I want to put in my decade list, the first thing I set as a rule to myself was that I'd have only one album per artist, just to avoid repetitiveness and so I can actually think about which artists really did leave a mark on me during this time frame and not just have a list of 10 artists with my favourite 2-3 albums from each. Even then, I originally had more than 35 albums written down as standouts for me during this time and I wanted to originally make a top 20 - I quickly realized that wouldn't be possible, but a top 35 or top 30 would be way too big, so I decided to settle on a top 25 and even then I realized I'd leave out some generational artists like Gambino, JID, 6LACK and more. After that I just decided I wouldn't rank them, it would just be 25 albums that were my favourite during the decade - no rankings, because really, how can I compare a hip-hop album to an Indie album for instance? I couldn't. I hope this list raises a discussion and we can talk about your favourite albums during this period as well or you can tell me I'm braindead for leaving out someone from the list. So in no particular order, I'll list the albums and leave some thoughts on each:

A$AP Rocky - AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP (2015) Althogh this album was released in 2015, it took me till about two years later to really appreciate it as a project - it was my coming of age album, where I realized that I need to love myself and focus on my own well-being, to have that self-confidence that reflects the reality of who you are as a person and that attracts others to be interested in what's going on with you. The album was and still is very relevant to the environment I didn't want to be in and to push myself to achieve what I've been dreaming of, as well as reflect on the existential topics I've always raised within myself regarding love, violence and pain.

Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (2018) I was a bit late to the party with this one, as I only started listening to it in 2019, a year after its release, but I have to admit, Twin Fantasy really reflects all of the impulsive emotions I have within myself regarding loneliness, being insecure and counting on the people you love so that you help each other out, outgrowing your childish opinions and understanding of relationships and realizing your partner struggles just as much as you do. This might be my favourite indie-rock project right now.

Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap (2013) This album was a big part of me during my teenage years - I remember it reflecting the issues I was facing when I was 16-18 and it really made me vibe with it, due to the appreciation I had for my friends and my free time during that time, at the same time addressing the inner feelings of whether you're doing the right thing with your life. Listening to it now, years later gives me an alternative view of it as well, as an adult who looks with nostalgia at his younger self and realizes how much emotions I've missed from this project.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Pinata (2014) Arguably the album with the best production of all time - the free-flowing jazzy and soulful beats from Madlib, underlined with Gibbs's absurd flow, the story-telling of him having to sell drugs and rob people to make a living, the absurd amount of genius features and the disgusting verses Gibbs had on songs like Harold's, Real and Robes just puts this project in a bracket of its own - I was wondering whether I prefer Pinata or Bandana, but as Bandana is a very fresh project still, this one has aged like a fine wine for me.

Frank Ocean - channel ORANGE (2012) Oddly enough, I'm one of those people who doesn't like Blonde as much as channel ORANGE. This album really hit home when it came down to my break-ups and realization I'd have to start all over again, both with myself and with someone else in the future - it really made me miss some people in my life time and time again and has brought me to tears more than you'd think. Frank's commentary on the album on different aspects of love and society really puts you in a frame of mind where you'll relate to almost everything he's experienced.

Schoolboy Q - Oxymoron (2014) This was the best story-telling album of the decade for me. The production which had a very modern take on old-school Gangsta rap really sticks to you with every song, the themes which Q explores with growing up in his ghetto neighbourhood, being part of the Crips, selling drugs and being part of gang-related crime really hits hard, combined with the realization he wants something better from life after growing up in poverty. Looking at Q grow up as a person after the release of this album and achieving all of his dreams really adds to this project as a modern day classic.

Flying Lotus - You're Dead (2014) Honestly, this one isn't for everyone - when making this list FlyLo had completely slipped my mind, even though I absolutely destroyed Flamagra with replays this year and had destroyed You're Dead in 2018 and 2017 due to the amazing production and vibe the album had. This project has an absolutely one of a kind take on combining modern jazz with psychedelic beats and hip-hop features, showcasing exactly why Flying Lotus is one of the best producers of modern times.

Danny Brown - Atrocity Excibition (2016) The culmination of Danny Brown's career for me, Danny addresses what it's like to completely hit rock bottom in this project, being a crackhead, who'd party, have sex with groupies and strangers and have no control over his life - there's a very neurotic and dark production on this album, combined with Danny's hilarious, but unsettling one-liners and verses which really could have been interpreted as a cry for helf, especially on songs such as "Ain't it Funny".`

Anderson. Paak - Malibu (2016) I recently wrote about Paak in a blogpost, discussing how he brought soul music back into the mainstream through a fantastic combination of rapping and singing with soul-inspired production and keeping a very funky vibe alive. This album was his best work for me and really showcased how much he's loving life, living to his best and enjoying every day of it, whilst at the same time addressing how difficult, but worth it love can be.

Mac Miller - Watching Movies With The Sound Off (2012) Mac was one of the first artists I wrote about, as I basically grew up with him, although he was a bit older than me (he's 92 and I'm 97). Every album of his was a part of my life and something I could relate to and live through, sometimes a bit later than its release, but no album has had such an eternal feel to it as Watching Movies. Both at 19 and at 22, I could find life lessons in this album and songs that could really describe what I'm going through, both on the end where my ego is taking over and I don't feel in control (Red Dot Music), to the downpoints of my life and addictions (Objects in the Mirror).

Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside (2015) I love Earl. Realistically, I couldn't keep him out of this list, although none of his albums really are crazy standouts, as he has an extremely consistent body of work, but I decided to settle with this one. With its melancholic production, dark and slow beats and topics of depression, suicide and self-isolation, this album has been one of my main therapists every time life has absolutely killed me and had kept me afloat, thanks to having someone to relate to in those difficult, dark edgy times.

Denzel Curry - TA13OO (2018) Probably one of most inovative albums in the end of the 2010's, Denzel split the album up into three parts, all reflecting the emotions he felt during the proccess of creating it: Light, embracing his success and feelings of positivity; Grey, being introspective about his life and looking at the people trying to use him and hate him objectively; Dark, channeling all his anger and darkest emotions.

Vince Staples - Summertime '06 (2015) Vince really is one of the most complex artists of modern times for me personally, as his music is always very difficult to gauge and he always strives for innovation, rather than mainstream appeal. Summertime in reality is probably his most mainstream album, being an excellent storytelling project of his origins from Long Beach, California, the gang culture and harsh reality around him, his friends being shot down or turning into coke fiends and the way his environment has shaped him as a person of distrust and scepticism.

Sons of Kemet - Your Queen's a Reptile (2018) I really wanted to have a jazz project in this list and I was torn between this one, Everything's Beatiful and Drunk, but I always go back to this one the most. The avant-garde jazz-funk sound of this album, combined with traditionally african melodies and beats and progression each song goes through really makes this a multi-layered album which you will need to listen to again and again, as it also had a very political message in itself.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) If anyone asks me what's the greatest pure hip-hop album of all time, I always answer and have answered "To Pimp a Butterfly". This album was and in my opinion still is very much before its time - the jazz-rap production, social and political messages and discussion, the absurd beats and flows, the rhyme-schemes, everything about this album absolutely shines and whatever I say, will not do it justice, you need to listen to this start to back.

Jpegmafia - Veteran (2018) Being one of the most experimental and non-fuck giving rappers in the game right now, this album was really a step in the right direction for hip-hop, as it had production that you'd probably hear nowhere else, DYI samples, political comments and messages in a very unfiltered manner, showcasing Peggy's no-fucks-given attitude to everything in music, something he has continued to prove to this day.

Tame Impala - Currents (2015) I originally listened to this project for the first time in late 2016, but I really wasn't too much into Indie back then, so I gave it little thought. 3 years later, after listening to it again I realized what a genius piece of art Kevin Parker had created with its topics of self-discovery, introspection on life and it's psychedelic indie-rock production, really creating something that no one else had heard before.

Joey Bada$$ - 1999 (2012) What really makes me not believe this project exists is that Joey released it when he was 17. Having some of the best old-school inspired production and beats, with a jazzy, soulful sound, this album showcases a very young man challenge the political climate of its time, as well as have very matures takes and opinions on gang-culture, smoking weed and needing to grow up, realizing he can't live a life of parties and drugs if he wants to leave something that's worth it in the world.

Kanye West and Kid Cudi - Kids See Ghosts (2018) I was really wondering if I should put this album in my list, as I'm not the biggest Kanye fan and I haven't really liked much of Cudi's work past 2010, but in the end, this album is one of a kind. It tells the tale of two people struggling with their mental illnesses, but in the end conquering them, loving themselves and realizing that they have so much to give in life. The album shares a very heavy inspiration from Tame Impala's production as it has a fantastic psychedelic rock production, combined with samples and yells from Cudi and Kanye which you'd never hear in another project, which people take seriously.

Death Grips - No Love Deep Web (2012) Disgusting. Raw. Overpowering. Back in 2012 when this project was released, Death Grips completely took the internet by storm, as nothing like this had ever been released even in the underground hip-hop scene. Glitchy production, combined with guitar riffs, sudden breaks, yelling and completely unrelated gibberish in most of the songs, topped off with an album cover of Zach Hill's dick, this album inspired a decade of experimentation in rap music, leading to albums such as Kanye's Yeezy and Tyler's Cherry Bomb.

Ab-Soul - Control System (2012) Lyrically one of the most complex projects I've ever heard, Ab-soul's rhyme schemes and punchlines deserve a place in a literature course in University, as you'd need multiple listens on his songs to catch every little reference the rapper makes. The album has a fantastic jazz-inspired production, songs with a very disjointed beat, showcasing his emotional instability during making it, as he references his past and the personal issues he had to go through during life, the suicide of his beloved Alori Joh, which has caused him to contemplate suicide himself and the references to his co-stars in TDE's projects makes for a project you'll spend hours on end to try and figure out.

The Internet - Ego Death (2015) One of the best contemporary R&B projects, the Internet combines a very blues and soul inspired production for this one, giving face to their fantastic members ability to create a vibe and atmosphere in their music - the most impressive part for me with them is that this album really was the start of multiple fantastic artists solo careers: Syd, Steve Lacy, Matt Martians.

Little Simz - GREY Area (2019) This and Tame Impala were my only projects by non-american artists and for a reason. Little Simz crafted a fantastic hip-hop album filled with a mixture of aggressive, eerie production and classical jazz and blues samples, showcasing her talent to both sing and rap in every single song, exploring the difficulties of being a female MC in the modern era, the pressure and negative emotions she experiences having to work much harder in the industry than men and the pain she's felt during the years of her coming of age.

SZA - Ctrl (2017) My favourite R&B album of the past decade, SZA created one of the rawest, most emotional albums I've ever heard, reflecting on modern romance from a very personal and subjective point of view, gives this project a very aunthetic and deep feel you'd have to dig deep to find elsewhere. The album also underlines SZA's struggles as a modern woman, jealousy and the anxiety of being in your 20's. The project's classic R&B production combined with its features from artists like Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar, really adds to an experience which could leave you heartbroken.

Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo (2014) Although during the past year The Sun's Tirade has been my favourite and main album, it really is more of a vibe album and not as much as a personal abum as Cilvia. In Cilvia I found myself, Isaiah talks about his addiction issues, wanting to make it in a world full of hate, the horrible relationship with his father, thoughts of suicide, the lack of commitment he has in love and has received in his relationships and the social climate which makes him feel like he's less of a person. This isn't an album for everyone, but the people who can relate to what he's feeling will likely fall in love with this project.

Journal 302: Planning

Earlier

It’s not quite “on time,” but I’m writing this a whole two hours before midnight, so that’s progress. I actually opened the post an hour before that even, but then I got distracted.

I think it might have been influenced by the music I had on? I had on my “general listening” Pandora station going, which I listen to while watching videos that have no background music, and I have a different station that I use when writing. I wonder if I’ve used these stations for these purposes long enough for it to actually be a way to control my mindset. If so, it would have been nice to have known earlier in the month!

Research

Anyway, I’ll get to what I didn’t get to discuss yesterday: researching ADHD and similar conditions, because I suspect that it’s something I have. I want to emphasize that I simply suspect it: I’ve never been diagnosed with it. This is precisely why I want to look into it though; with more information, I can hopefully be more confident about my suspicion.

While I’m not one to recommend that people go out to self-diagnose themselves with problems, even if I’m off-base here, I think the insight would be valuable. My understanding is that there’s a lot of overlap with depression, anxiety, and ADHD—among many other conditions. If anything I learn sounds familiar, it might give me a new perspective that can help me continue to manage my mental health.

Now, how would I go about this? Well, the simplest thing is to search “ADHD”: see what shows up. I could just click some of the top results and look/read through them. If, somehow, the relevant Wikipedia article isn’t one of the top results, I suppose I could go there next.

Another option was inspired by a mostly unrelated post that I saw on my dashboard. It was primarily about the poster’s awesome boyfriend, but one of the points was how, after an argument about the poster’s ADHD, they found their boyfriend watching lectures on YouTube about it. Well, if there are lectures out there, I can look those up too. A lot of what I learned about diets and sugar ended up coming from lectures that were available through YouTube (recordings of actual lectures at universities), so I can probably look up all sorts of things.

The last thing I have in mind is to look into those clinical trials that I heard about on the radio. The advertisement was directed towards adults that may not have even considered that they could have ADHD—since it’s usually associated with children—so I imagine they’d be prepared to tell me about it. The main problem I have is a distrust of any sort of ad: it feels like a scam somehow. That distrust is on top of my usual anxieties with making appointments and talking on the phone, too. So even if it has the most potential, it’s the one that will take the most effort to actually follow through on.

That’s quite a lot already, so I can stop there. Really, I could have stopped at the first couple of steps; simply doing the Google (or rather, Ecosia) search actually feels like a lot to me.

Group

I don’t quite recall if I mentioned it before, but the DBSA support group was cancelled due to Thanksgiving—sort of. Last week, at the get-together dinner group, the president let everyone know that they would show up this week just in case anyone needed it.

I’ve been going back and forth about whether to go for the past week. I’d primarily be showing up for a similar reason as the president: to be there to support anyone who needs it, rather than needing it myself. A secondary interest is that I simply want to maintain the weekly routine of going out on Wednesday for the group.

A reason not to go is that when my mom asked today, I ended up telling her that there wasn’t one tomorrow. I could always explain things in greater detail, but the thought makes me anxious. I could also just go anyway without explaining things, but that just feels kind of weird. It’s not like Thanksgiving is tomorrow specifically anyway, so I wouldn’t be missing anything at home—group is just cancelled under the assumption that a bunch of people would be busy the day before too.

I can imagine things going either way. I guess I’ll just have to decide when the time comes tomorrow.

[apprentice-nylah]

My live thoughts as I read through Nadia’s new route. 

A general overview of the new book is... it’s really a full circle kind of story. It’s interesting and I want to know what happened in the real world when the apprentice was taking their journey. Also, the few new Nadia faces were great. I still stan my wife. Her petty behavior with Lucio was probably my favorite part. I really... dislike him as a character so I’ll take any chance I can to get back at him. (Note that while I really dislike Lucio, that’s a good thing for me. He’s supposed to be the antagonist, at least in Nadia’s route and the fact I hate him so much means his writing has been good). 

More detailed reactions and in-depth spoilers below the cut. 

- I’M NOT READYYYY (but I so am)

- The first thing in my face is Lucio. You can go like.. die again.

- Some people cheer? Ew. 

- DON’T YOU DARE APPROACH MY WIFE

- Petty as ever Nadia. First words to him is criticism of his outfit.

- LOL. She’s (rightly so) toying with him. 

- I am kind of surprised she didn’t attack him on sight, but then again I’m not. She is a countess and she’s in public. She’s not going to wail on her ex-husband over the apprentice at the moment. 

- Asra lol. No.

- Rip Lucio. Ignored by everyone.

- LOL even the apprentice dips.

- Also, he can see the apprentice? Is it just him or...

- Nadia!!! I just want to hug you. 

- Ok so she can’t see me, but maybe sense my presence?

- Oh, she can see me with her powers. That makes sense. 

- THE ANGST.

- DON’T CRY. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT

- Of course the Devil planned for it. What else did you think would happen??

- Send me to live with the Arcana for now. Sounds cool. 

- He treats her like a groupie, not his wife. Not cool dude. 

- TELL HIM OFF GURRRRL

- OH NO YOU DIDN’T JUST TELL HER THAT I’M “OUT OF THE WAY”

- Oh of course I’m getting my revenge in any way I can. 

- Also, fire magic. 

- Rip painting.

- Asra l0l. I’m loving everyone toying with Lucio and being super extra.

- Ugh, that’s smug Nadia face again. It’s probably my favorite one. 

- Oh yeah, Nadia finally standing up for the apprentice to Lucio’s face.

- Another new face?!?!

- I’ve been dreaming of letting him have it too Nadia.

- Into the unknownnn

- OH MY GOD. IS THAT A DOG DRESSED AS A TRAVELER

- “Who are you”

- “Follow the dog”

- Leap of faith much?

- The Lazaret... ok towers. 

- OMG ARE THESE NADIA’S LOST MEMORIES

- “I’m Nylah” (apprentice name)

- Even new Nadia thinks I’m cute c:

- So yeah, Nadia from the past. When she was asleep. Ok, makes sense. 

- I mean, Nadia even said her life before the apprentice was dark and at times, depressing. It probably was hard for her to accept things would get better at this point in her life. 

- “You’re going to meet someone special”

- THAT FACE AGAIN

- OH MY GOD. Did the apprentice actually set themselves up? Granted Nadia gets her dream after she wakes from the long sleep, but the apprentice seems to have planted that seed. 

- Top Nadia makes her appearance. I’m so down for it. 

- As far as my personal apprentice is concerned “She’s a stoic type” is the most accurate choice.

- ANOTHER NEW FACE

- Rip Lucio. Even ragging on him in sleep

- Again, based on my personal apprentice, “She can do magic!” is probably the best choice. She can dance, but magic defines her more. And she does support Nadia, but she also isn’t afraid to challenge her when necessary. 

- OH WHAT. Just thought, did the apprentice help Nadia wake up? Like, didn’t she just randomly wake up one day? 

- “Check the deck” The only choice.

 - Of course, it’s the Tower. 

- Not the Lazaret you say?

- Red Bettles smh.

- Yes, tell me what the Lazaret means to you

- Please don’t cry. 

- I see why she blames herself. It’s kind of a real-world argument about being complicit (seems relevant to a lot of fandom discourse...). But I still hate it because I love her. 

- I kind of wish I knew why she married Lucio in the first place. Was it arranged? Or... I think there have been some contextual clues, but we’ve never seen the actual reason explicitly stated. 

- “You tried to do it alone” As Nadia always does.

- NO DON’T CRY

- So the apprentice helped her talk through her mental barries and woke her up. God, I love. 

- High Priestess!!

- Not another decision...

- NADIAAAAA

- Is that like... a determined face?

- Ugh the end.

I like that it all came full circle. That even before Nadia and the Apprentice met in the real world, the apprentice was the one to help Nadia out of her sleep. And that this far in, we find out that it was the apprentice that really set the whole thing in motion. I appreciate time travel storylines like that. Kind of like Legends of Tomorrow or Dr. Who, when they set themselves up. Best example is Dr Who and Pompeii. Or the 50th-anniversary special. Dr Who fans will know what I’m talking about. That kind of storyline I like because it does take some advanced thought, which as a writer myself, I can appreciate. 

I’m living for Muriel, Asra and Nadia going after Lucio in the way they did. And I find it interesting that Lucio can see the apprentice, espeically when Nadia needs her magical sight to see them, and I think, Asra and Muriel can’t at all.  Sense the apprentice’s presense maybe, but Lucio can seem them clearly enough to try to strangle them, suggesting he has a clear sight of them. It also suggests that Lucio retained some powers from his deal with the Devil, or that there’s a deeper connection between him and the apprentice, perhaps because he stle and manipulated the apprentice’s body. Because everyone has said he sucks as magic, so he couldn’t do it on his own. I suspect the Devil will have a major role with this in the future. 

I’ve discussed the monetization of the recent books into the ground already, so I’ll leave that one. 

So, the Star is next?

Color me intrigued.

-GROUPIES and GRETA VAN FLEET and PEOPLE WHO JUST DON’T RESPECT MUSIC- [my own opinion]

So, these days I've been reading a lot of things about Greta Van Fleet and what the fans are doing at their concerts. Apparently some girls flashed the boys and some of them threw their bras on stage. I’d like to point out that I think there’s nothing wrong with this, things like that have always happened at concerts and it’s certainly not a matter of different "eras" or “times”. But some other fans expressed their dissent over those behaviors stating that such ways of doing do nothing but change the attitude of the members of the band towards their audience, distancing them more and more from the fans. Some of them claimed not to endure this kind of behavior and they immediately labeled those girls as "groupies" underlining that those girls are just seeking for attention, at the expense of those fans who really love the band and support it.

Faced with this kind of statements I felt involved because I’ve always defined myself as a "groupie" and I’ve always been proud of it. I struggled and I'm still struggling to make people understand the REAL meaning of the word "groupie" making clear that it’s just a cliché that groupies are nothing more than "girls seeking for fame" or even worse "backstage whores".

I read someone saying that groupies “are usually known as women who follow bands they want to sleep with and that’s exactly what groupies were known for back in the days”. This thing really made me super mad. So now I’d like to explain some concepts and reflections on this.

I want to start saying that it is true, the component of sex and physical attraction was a very strong thing "back in the days" especially in the 60s and 70s (remember that at the time there were the so-called "sexual revolution" and the "free love”, very important elements in what is known to all as counterculture of the 1960s). Many girls enjoyed going to bed with the band members and there’s nothing wrong with that, there’s nothing wrong with free sex, even if it’s a woman who practices it. In support of this I’d like to ask somthing to you: which of you isn’t somehow physically or emotionally attracted by one/or more of the Greta Van Fleet boys? Which of you wouldn’t be happy to date one of them and maybe become their girlfriend? Probably none;

another thing is about fame. Just like it happens nowadays some people just wanted to take advantage of the fame of famous people in order to shine with reflected light and become important. Therefore some girls did nothing but date the band to get in some pictures or some scoops of magazines. But THOSE WERE NOT GROUPIES.

Summarizing these points, it is a common opinion that groupies are nothing more than women seeking for fame and party time with musicians. Even Wikipedia says “The term is almost universally used to describe young women who follow these individuals [musicians] in hopes of establishing a sexual relationship with them or offering themselves for sex”. THIS IS THE POPULAR OPINION, A COMMON PLACE and nothing else. Just a cliché.

Now I’d like to discuss what it really means to be a groupie and what I do and believe as a groupie.

being a groupie goes beyond sex, goes beyond fame and goes beyond the thirst of attention. Being a groupie means, and I quote, “to truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts”. Groupies are there for the MUSIC, they’re there for LOVE and GRATITUDE towards music and those who create it and groupies don’t care about becoming famous or going backstage and get noticed. As a groupie I go to concerts and I show respect to the band and musician’s work and support them every day and I love them for the emotions they make me feel. That's it. Of course, it would be amazing to be the girlfriend of one of them and to go on tour with them and live a life like that but THAT’S NOT THE PURPOSE OF A GROUPIE. The purpose of a groupie is to SUPPORT the band, IDOLATE the band, and NOT to go to bed with them;

being a groupie means RESPECTING the band and its members and their choices. This is a very important point especially for all the stuffs going on here on Tumblr over Greta Van Fleet. There are bands that love crazy and promiscuous fans willing to go backstage and "having fun" but NOT GRETA VAN FLEET. The Greta Van Fleet boys have specifically stated that they don’t want to get into that kind of things. Josh said to Rolling Stone: “All of those wild, absurd things that you would like to romanticize about are very honest truth. The amount of excess always around. The amount of women that always want to hang out. It really is all there. It’s tempting, and crazy stuff. But we don’t seem to have too much interest”. And he is not only talking about sex but also about everything else: wild parties, drugs, alcohol... everything. That said, a true fan and consequently a real groupie RESPECTS the decisions of the band and doesn’t try to behave exactly the opposite of what the band wants. Do you understand what I’m trying to explain here? RESPECT is the first important thing. This is what a groupie does: SHE RESPECTS THE BAND.

I summarize these points too: being a groupie means respecting the band in all its decisions, it means to love music and those who create it, it means to support them for what they do and above all it means to go to a concert and enjoy the show because that feeling of being there in the front row is indescribable and it’s the best thing ever. This is what it means to be a groupie.

I want to close this thing saying that as a groupie and proud to call me one I think: those girls who know the intentions of the band [in this specific case Greta Van Fleet] but continue to behave in such a rude way, stripping in front of the band and throwing underwear on stage, THEY’RE NOT GROUPIES but they’re just trying to get visibility from the band without respecting the band itself. They’re not “bad girls” but if they really love and respect Greta Van Fleet and if they really are fans then they should avoid certain behaviors, trying to respect the artists and their work.

Now I ask you, please stop to juxtapose groupies to girls who are just seeking for attention but please know that you too can be a groupie. If you respect the band, if you love musician’s work, if you want to support them in every choice and if you are polite when you approach them, both at concerts and when you ask for an autograph or a photo, then you are also groupies and there’s nothing wrong with feeling that way. Being a groupie is beautiful, it means to love music with all your being and with all your soul.

🌻 Thank you 🌻

[Of course the discussion is open for those who want to express their opinion and same will be my asks. Feel free to say what you think about the subject]

[Down here I’ll leave some interesting links for those who want to deepen the  "groupies" topic or those who are simply curious and interested]:

“Almost Famous” dir. Cameron Crowe, is a beautiful movie about groupies and it depicts very well all the things I just said in this post. I recommend the vision;

“I’m with the band” a book from the most famous groupie Pamela Des Barres. She asserts that a groupie is to a rock band as Mary Magdalene was to Jesus and that’s a strong statement but if you know the real story of Mary Magdalene [this is a very good movie about her] then you’ll understand the meaning of Pamela’s sentence;

Some quotes about groupies: “The altar was rock n’ roll, the guys were the gods, and the women were the high priestesses.“ (Gail Zappa) // “Girls get their hearts broken all the time. I figured, if I was going to get my heart broken, I’d rather it be broken by someone like Mick Jagger or Keith Moon.” (Pamela Des Barres) // "Sexual? Sometimes yes, but also friends, helpers, assistants, guides…we wanted to uplift and enhance these people who moved us so much. That’s all a groupie is. They are music-loving muses." (Pamela Des Barres) // “The sex angle is important. But not more important than girls who are also good friends and make you feel like family.” (Jimmy Page) // “You do actually fall in love with them because that’s the only love you can have. It’s not always the physical thing. They actually tell you something.They release different things inside themselves.” (Jimi Hendrix) // “They’re like our alter egos. They’re doing the same thing we are.” (Steven Tyler) // “Being a groupie doesn’t mean you’re backstage doing something sleazy. Being a groupie is like worshipping at the church of rock and roll—and you’re the high priestess." (Pleasant Gehman) // "Real groupies are people who love the music, want to be with people who make it, and that’s it." (Pamela Des Barres) // “We wanted to be a part of this incredible musical brilliance that was lighting up the world. It’s really all about love, you know. People would say, ‘Why did you want to meet these guys?’ Why not? Why not? Why not want to be a part of something so important?" (Pamela Des Barres) // “I dig musicians, I feel they have the most to offer me mentally and emotionally because they think basically along the same lines that I do; extremely creative people. Music is Life.” (Pamela Des Barres) // "For me, it was always the music. I wanted to be in on the cosmic secret. I wanted to get so close to the music I could taste it- and nothing was going to stop me." (Pamela Des Barres) // “They were devotees of the band and would literally service those bands. It was a religious experience for most of those girls.” (Gail Zappa) // “Freedom fighters at the avant garde of the sexual revolution.” (Frank Zappa) // “Most of the girls who come backstage simply want to say ‘thank you’ to us for giving a good concert. Outsiders who think that all sorts of other stuff is going on just don’t know us.” (Robert Plant);

and of course my personal link about groupies

But that's the thing. Maybe he's controlling because he's not truly emotionally invested. He truly loved Alexa and he even went to NY to be with her; at that time she still had time to become someone more relevant and develop talents. Since then he's not been truly emotionally invested in his other gfs, so he becomes all controlling hence it's them making the compromises in the relationship for him. Maybe he wouldn't be controlling if he truly loved and trusted the girl.

Yeah that was our conclusion when we discussed him finding happiness and maybe talking to a therapist about his control issues because they’re definitely a sign of trust issues. If he truly loves he lets go, anyone lets go because you trust your partner.I know this is not really comparable but it’s currently in the headlines and let me preface this with I have no other clue about them than what I’ve read in headlines. Some of you may have read the take down from Gigi Hadid of that Youtuber over slamming Zayn Malik for not having fun with him in Vegas with his groupies. We all know they’ve been on and off for years but seem to find together again and again. But the fact she went on Twitter to defend him from the other end of the world not really knowing what he did in Vegas speaks volumes of her trust in him. I don’t see the same kind of trust with Alex and any of his partners because he’s not emotionally involved enough to develop that. Since Alexa he hasn’t found anyone he fully trusts and it’s actually sad.

The Boys: Every Marvel & DC Character Parodied In Amazon's Series

Which DC and Marvel superheroes served as inspiration for the rip-roaring cast of The Boys? In the original comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys serves as a bloody and grossly satirical take on the superhero genre, subverting long-established tropes and toying with readers' expectations. However, the story also takes direct shots at the giants of the comic book world, Marvel and DC. Many of the biggest, most outrageous superheroes in The Boys are straight-up parodies of the comic book world's biggest names, hilariously poking fun at the giants of the industry.

Amazon's The Boys adaptation follows suit, and perhaps even takes the satirical elements to a new level. After all, the original comic series began in 2006 and the superhero genre has evolved significantly since then, particularly with regards to their presence on the big screen. This new landscape provides The Boys with a new palette of potential targets, and the Amazon series takes full advantage, ripping on a host of big-name figures from the genre's more family-friendly output.

The Boys' DC comparisons are certainly more overt, particularly in the comic books, but Marvel don't escape unscathed either - there's plenty of satirical ribbing to go round. But while The Boys does raise some interesting talking points regarding the direction and commercial aspect of the superhero genre, most of the parodies are done with a wry smile and a knowing wink, rather than any outright malice. Here are all the Marvel and DC character parodies in The Boys.

America's favorite Kryptonian is undoubtedly the biggest inspiration behind Homelander. The Boys plays on the DC icon's God-like status in glorious fashion, giving the leader of the Seven all of Clark Kent's best powers and abilities including flight, heat vision and even X-ray vision - an ability The Boys naturally twists into something more sinister. However, there's also elements of Marvel's Captain America thrown into the mix. Visually, Homelander incorporates Cap's stars and stripes motif and his overt exploitation of patriotism reaches levels Superman could never achieve with his Kryptonian heritage.

One of the most direct parodies in The Boys is Chase Crawford's The Deep, who acts as a clear riff on DC's Aquaman. The Boys takes a grim look at the darker side of Aquaman's fish communication powers, and goes on to prove how aquatic anatomy could be a problem with groupies. Most notably, however, the series plays on the idea that Aquaman has always been widely derided by comic fans for his goofy look and relatively odd powers. This was in the days before Jason Momoa came along and gave Aquaman's reputation a much-needed boost. The Deep is seen attending therapy sessions to discuss his inferiority complex - something Aquaman would've no doubt also done had he been aware of his status as a figure of ridicule.

Another clear parallel can be found between Queen Maeve and the female third of DC's fabled trinity, Wonder Woman. Both characters have origins steeped in ancient mythology, with the DC character deriving from Greek lore and Maeve named after a warrior from Irish legend. Highlighting their mythical natures, both characters wear stylized metallic suits of armor with a matching sword, although Maeve's weapon wouldn't come close to matching Diana's in a fight. Like Wonder Woman, Maeve is also one of the more ethical members of the Seven, acting as a moral compass compared to the debauchery of the other members..

Starlight and Stargirl have very different superpowers, with the latter wielding a staff to manipulate energy, while also being able to fly and shoot stars. Starlight, on the other hand, generates intense rays of light from her body, similar to Northstar and Aurora from the Marvel comics. However, the design and concept of Stargirl does seem to heavily inform Starlight in The Boys. Both are presented as apple pie American role models and are the more innocent faces of their respective superhero teams. Physically, the two heroes share a close resemblance, and Stargirl is known for being somewhat relaxed about revealing her true identity - something The Boys references with Starlight on several occasions.

Any number of superheroes from both the DC and Marvel rosters have been able to turn invisible, but Translucent's carbon-based skin is far more unique, perhaps most commonly associated with Emma Frost from Marvel's X-Men comics. Predominantly a psychic, Frost can turn her skin into a carbon-based impenetrable exterior, much like Translucent. Charlies Xavier presumably never thought of using Frenchie's method to defeat her though. Furthermore, Translucent's comic equivalent in Ennis and Robertson's The Boys is a character called Jack From Jupiter - a not-so-subtle nod to DC's Martian Manhunter who, incidentally, could also turn invisible.

Perhaps equally as indebted to Wolverine, Popclaw's ability to grow claws through her skin to use as weapons is a trick straight from the X-Men canon. Logan was famous for drawing three prongs through his knuckles, X-23 cut that down to two, now Popclaw is reduced to one single protrusion from each limb, however the concept itself is unique enough to trace directly back to Marvel. Since Popclaw is female, she can perhaps be more readily compared to X-23 than Wolverine himself.

Just as Black Panther is introduced as the prince of Africa's fictional state of Wakanda, Nubian Prince is named as the heir to the African region of Nubia. Furthering the connection, both characters wear sleek black superhero outfits adorned with traditional African design elements. Madelyn Stillwell also cynically describes Nubian Prince as "not too militant, Caucasians love him too," which could be interpreted as a subtle commentary on the distinct lack of superhero movies starring a black lead character.

In the comic version of The Boys, A-Train and the Flash have more in common than just super speed, with A-Train's brash arrogance and exuberant personality acting as an exaggerated caricature of his DC counterpart. This influence is less apparent in the Amazon series, where A-Train is a more conflicted character, concerned about his relevance in the Seven and paranoid his drugs running side-business will be unearthed. Still, the death of Robin is a shining example of what horrors could occur if Flash was really zipping across the world in a blur of red spandex.

The Boys draws several comparisons between Vought and the modern Marvel Studios machine. A cameo from Seth Rogen reveals that the company have their own VCU - the Vought Cinematic Universe. One company executive also utters the line "everybody loves a team up," openly lampooning Marvel's crossover releases such as Avengers and Captain America: Civil War. There are even references to Vought opening theme parks outside of Paris (Disneyland Paris) and releasing the billion dollar-grossing G-Men: World War - a mashup of X-Men and Civil War.

While Vought may parody Marvel to some extent, the Seven are a complete ripoff of DC's famous Justice League. With their formal sit-down meetings, national celebrity status and individual superhero likenesses, the Seven have far more in common with DC's premier superhero team than other groups, such as the Avengers. The similarities continue in the comic books, where the Seven operate from a skybase instead of a regular skyscraper, somewhat akin to the Justice League's Watchtower space station.

Omnia Dicta Fortiora Si Dicta Latina

A soulmate au, where you get a sentence in black somewhere on your body on your 18th birthday, and at at the moment you realize you love them, your soulmate will say the sentence, and it will tingle and turn silver.

And of course Bellarke has the weirdest sentences.

Because Lana’s (@marauders-groupie) fics make me cry and I just wanted a soulmate au that didn’t rip my heart out.

Clarke was not looking forward to her 18th birthday.

Listen, soulmates were great and all, but she didn’t enjoy her life getting controlled by an arbitrary sentence tattooed on her body. It was actually kind of creepy, come to think of it.

“You excited?” Wells’ voice came over the phone. Wells was into soulmates. His tattoo had come in the form of neat words on his collarbone, the creating the sentence “I can make anything explode if I try hard enough.”

So obviously Wells’ soulmate seems awesome. They had to be, to deserve him.

She sighed into the phone. “Not really. I’m really just hoping it’s in an inconspicuous place. I don’t feel particularly inclined to waking up with a bad pickup line tattooed on my forehead.“

Clarke doesn’t trust soulmates, to tell the truth.

Her father didn’t have one. Her parents got divorced when Abby found Marcus Kane.

Soulmates weren’t worth the pain. She knew they were no guarantee.

Clarke wakes up in the morning to find her eyes drawn to her wrist.

There it was, in bold black script on the inside of her wrist.

“Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.”

“Is that…” Wells squints at her wrist. “Latin?”

Clarke shrugs. “I guess. I did a quick google search but it wasn’t particularly helpful. Did you know google translate is terrible?”

Wells just rolls his eyes at her.

Clarke’s in her first year at Columbia when she hears it used. She’s figured out that it means “everything said is stronger if said in Latin” which is not helpful at all.

Her dorm mate her first year is a girl named Octavia Blake, who Clarke finds is actually pretty cool. She’s gorgeous and intimidating and Clarke would totally be into her, if Octavia wasn’t in a committed relationship–with her soulmate.

“He’s so sweet, pretty damn hot, and 4 years older than us, so he’s also pissing my brother off.” Octavia confides. “He’s the best.”

After meeting Lincoln, she has to admit she’s pretty right. Lincoln is huge and buff, but also is basically like a giant ball of fluff, so he fits perfectly with tiny-but-angry Octavia.

One night Clarke was on a tirade about one of her professors, who was “a racist bigot who needs to get his head out of his ass.”

“And he uses the most pretentious language, like he quoted some thing in Latin yesterday, just because her could. It had practically no relevance whatsoever to the topic.” Clarke rolled her eyes.

Octavia nodded. “Yeah, I know the type. Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur, right?”

Clarke blinked.

There it was, spoken aloud, and yet there was no sting, no tingle that signified her tattoo was changing color.

She lifted her sleeve to check, and the words were still there, stark black against her skin.

“Something wrong?” Octavia asked.

Wordlessly, she showed Octavia the words on her wrist.

“Damn. Your soulmate is a fucking nerd.” Octavia laughed.

Clarke laughed too. “Okay, but I still don’t know what that means.”

“It means, like, Latin makes everyone sound smarter. It’s a joke, for pretentious assholes who use Latin to make themselves sound smarter than they are.” Octavia explained.

“And you know this how?”

“Bell is a fucking nerd.” was Octavia’s only explanation.

Bell, Clarke had learned, meant Bellamy, Octavia’s older brother, who, okay, was defiantly a giant nerd. Of course he taught Octavia mocking Latin phrases.

He named his sister Octavia after the Emperor Augustus’ sister when he was 6, okay? Bellamy was on a whole other level of nerd.

Clarke’d met him one or twice, when he came to visit Octavia. But she didn’t really get to know him until senior year, when she moved into a small apartment with Octavia and Raven in a better part of town.

Bellamy had come to help them move in, and they’d managed to get into a screaming match that had begun with them discussing Harry Potter and led to him accusing her of being a spoiled rich girl. Honestly, she wasn’t even sure how they’d gotten to that.

Afterwards, Clarke had dismissed it as a one time thing. She’d see him a couple times and they’d avoid each other, and that would be that.

But she’d underestimated Bellamy’s level of big brother instincts. He was over at least twice a week, being helpful while pretending to not care about anything.

He slowly got used to her too, his sarcastic asides of “Princess” gradually becoming less biting and more like affectionate teasing.

Carefully, grudgingly, Clarke admitted that he was actually a pretty cool guy, despite his penchant for being an asshole.

Turns out Clarke likes assholes.

So, friends was a gradual thing.

However, Clarke could pinpoint the exact moment she realized they were best friends. (Barring Wells, of course.)

Clarke groaned as she flopped onto the couch.

“Long day princess?” Bellamy laughed.

“Shut up Blake.” Clarke muttered. “Just turn on the movie.”

As he opened Netflix, Clarke moved to position herself against his side. “Why are you so warm?” Clarke muttered.

Without missing a beat, Bellamy answered, “I’m filled with righteous anger.”

“Mmm, sounds about right.”

And soon, watching Disney Hercules on the couch with him, all her weariness melted away. That’s when she knew. He was her person. Her best friend. And to think, she’d hated him.

“Stop laughing at me.” Bellamy muttered.

“I’m sorry!” She giggled. “It’s just, I get you’re full of righteous anger but the goat does not deserve it.”

She loved watching mythological movies him.

Bellamy didn’t answer. Almost unconsciously, his hand floated to his collarbone.

“Bellamy?” She gave him a little shake. “Hey? Bellamy? Something wrong?”

He shook his head and gave her a small smile. “Look, this fucking goat did not train Hercules. I’m offended on behalf of Chiron.”

“Okay, Bellamy.” She laughed. “Whatever you say.”

She probably should have figured it out then, bur Clarke has never been the most observant of people about things like this.

It took her about 3 years.

It was Octavia’s birthday and she was drunk, because Octavia loved alcohol but had no tolerance, a very bad, though usually entertaining combination.

“Macdonaldus Senex fundum habuit. E-I-E-I-O.” she slurred, leaning up against Lincoln.

Clarke took the drink from her hand. “No more for you, I think.”

She walked over to Bellamy, handing him the drink.

He took it, frowning at it. “Don’t you want some?”

Clarke shrugged. “I already had some. I’m good.”

With Lincoln, Octavia had resumed her song. “Et in hot fundo nonnullas boves domesticas habuitt. E-I-E-O. Cum moo moo hic, et cum moo moo ibi. Hic una moo, ibi una moo, ubique una moo moo. acdonaldus Senex fundum habuit. E-I-E-I-O!”

Clarke nudged Bellamy. “What’s she singing?”

“Old Macdonald Had a Farm. In Latin.” Bellamy answered, deadpan.

Clarke giggled. “Okay, okay. When did you teach her that?”

Bellamy smirked. “I wanted her to know the cool nursery rhymes.”

Clarke laughed. “You’re such a fucking nerd, Bellamy.”

He shrugged. “Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.”

Before Clarke could even react, her forearm stung, and something warm and light flowed through her.

She had to keep herself from gasping aloud.

She grabbed at her sleeve, watching the words on her wrist change from jet black to a gleaming silver.

Disoriented, Clarke headed toward the door.

Faintly, she heard Bellamy calling behind her.

“Clarke, hey Clarke!” He grabbed her hand. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

She shook him off.

Soulmate…

“I-It’s nothing Bellamy. I don’t feel well. Wish Octavia a happy birthday for me, hm?” She managed.

“Want me to come with?” He’s genuinely worried, which makes her feel even worse.

She offers him a small smile. “It’s Octavia’s birthday. I can take care of myself, it’s just a headache.”

“You sure?”

She nods. “I’ll be fine.”

It’s not until she gets home that she allows herself to look at it again. But there it was still, shimmering against her skin.

Bellamy. Of course it was Bellamy. It had always been Bellamy.

She collapsed on the couch. Bellamy Blake was her soulmate.

And she barely had time to take a breath before it hit her like a truck.

For all she made fun of soulmates, she realized with dawning horror, she loved Bellamy. She’s loved him for a while.

She picked up her phone, and dialed.

He picked up on the 3rd ring. “Hey Clarke. Something wrong?”

Almost against her will, Clarke smiled. “Hey Wells.” It was good, to hear his voice again.

“I just wanted to let you know, I found my soulmate.”

Clarke heard Wells gasp. “And? Who is it?”

“Bellamy.”

“Bellamy Blake?” Wells asked, careful.

“Yeah.” She replied.

“What are you going to do?”

Clarke sighed. “I don’t know yet. Heck, I don’t even know if I’m his soulmate.”

Wells paused. “Look Clarke. It’s simple. If you think you’re ready, if you love him? Go find out if you’re his soulmate.”

Clarke took a breath. “O-okay. Thanks Wells.”

“You know I’m always here for you.”

“I know. Thank you.” Clarke swallowed.

“Talk to you later?” Wells asked.

“Of course. Bye, Wells.” She hung up, and sighed, flopping onto the couch again.

She stared at the ceiling, her mind racing.

Bellamy.

And the more she thought about it, the less shocking it felt. It felt almost obvious. Yeah. Bellamy was her soulmate.

She sighed and got up, pausing at the mirror to make sure her makeup was intact before shrugging on her coat.

No harm in trying to look good.

A short taxi ride later, Clarke took in a breath, standing in front of Bellamy’s apartment.

She rang the doorbell, a wave of panic hitting her as she waited for it to open.

What if I’m not his soulmate?

And suddenly the door was open.

Bellamy was standing in the doorway, blinking at her, wearing pajama pants and a worn t-shirt.

“Clarke? Is something–” he began.

“Show me your soulmate mark.” She spit out, before she could loose her nerve.

Bellamy stared.

“Please.” Clarke whispered, pleading.

She needed to know. She couldn’t stand not knowing because that meant there was a what if still lingering.

Bellamy finally nods, opening the door wider.

“Come in.”

She steps inside, more confused and worried than before.

Bellamy’s eyes flick to her forearm, which she was instinctively covering with her hand.

He swallows, and tugs of his shirt, turning around so his back was facing her.

And there they were, at the small of his back, one sentence shining silver against his skin.

“I get you’re full of righteous anger but the goat does not deserve it.”

She drew in a sharp breath.

“Hercules.” She whispered, hope flooding through her.

Bellamy laughed, soft. “I spent so long wondering exactly what the scenario was that I was angry at a goat.”

Clarke shifted her hand, slowly pulling up her sleeve and revealing the words on her arm. “I didn’t even know what mine meant.”

Bellamy smiled and grabbed her arm, pulling it up to his face to kiss the words.

Clarke beamed up at him. “You’re such a fucking nerd Bellamy. My soulmate mark is in Latin.”

Bellamy laughed quietly. “Te amo.”

And look, Clarke didn’t know the first thing about Latin.

But from what she understood of those words, there was only one response she could give.

She pulled him closer, and kissed him.

Paul McCartney Said He And John Lennon Masturbated Together With Friends

Paul McCartney Said He And John Lennon Masturbated Together With Friends

Paul McCartney has given new meaning to “I get by with a little help from my friends.”

The music legend regaled writer Chris Heath in GQ with a story about how he, John Lennon and some of their friends masturbated together before the pair became world-famous members of the Beatles.

Taylor Hill via Getty Images

Paul McCartney and John Lennon were apparently inspired by actress Bridget Bardot when they were friends growing up together in Liverpool.

Discussing their early days, McCartney talked about how the group bonded. And it was, uh, fascinating. 

McCartney told Heath: “What it was was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.”

Heath clarified that it was “about five of them: McCartney, Lennon, and maybe three of Lennon’s friends,” and added that each boy shouted out names that “would offer relevant inspiration.”

“We were just, ‘Brigitte Bardot!’ ‘Whoo!’” said McCartney. “and then everyone would thrash a bit more.”

When asked if the “ritual” took place more than once, McCartney said: “I think it was a one-off. Or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn’t a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn’t think much of. It was just a group.”

“Yeah, it’s quite raunchy when you think about it,” he acknowledged. “There’s so many things like that from when you’re a kid that you look back on and you’re, ‘Did we do that?’ But it was good harmless fun. It didn’t hurt anyone. Not even Brigitte Bardot.”

“There was once when we were in Vegas where the tour guy, a fixer, said, ‘You’re going to Vegas, guys—you want a hooker?’ We were all, ‘Yeah!’” Paul McCartney told GQ.

Heath also asked McCartney to explain Lennon’s complaint about “how sanitized the published accounts had been of what life was really like in the Beatles.”

Responding to a question about what really happened on the band’s tours and whether there were orgies, McCartney said:

“There weren’t really orgies, to my knowledge. There were sexual encounters of the celestial kind, and there were groupies. The nearest it got … See, this is my experience, because I’m just not into orgies. I don’t want anyone else there, personally. It ruins it! I would think—I’ve never actually done it. Didn’t appeal to me, the idea.”

He continued: “There was once when we were in Vegas where the tour guy, a fixer, said, ‘You’re going to Vegas, guys—you want a hooker?’ We were all, ‘Yeah!’ And I requested two. And I had them, and it was a wonderful experience. But that’s the closest I ever came to an orgy,” McCartney said.

“See, the thing is, in the next room I think the guys might have ordered something else off the menu. So that would figure if John was saying, yeah, it was all bacchanalian. I think John was a little more that way, because thinking back, I remember there was someone in a club that he’d met, and they’d gone back to the house because the wife fancied John, wanted to have sex with him, so that happened, and John discovered the husband was watching. That was called ‘kinky’ in those days.”
