the element of fire plays a big role in YeQing's relationship.

for starters, let's examine the "answer" ZGQ divined for himself on Longhu-shan:

(manhua ch. 108; see also LA s1, ep. 13 & donghua s2, ep. 9)

飞蛾扑火 / the moth throws itself upon a flame. this idiom describes a self-destructive kind of conduct, where a person knowingly brings about their own doom. it represents, in other words, both a fatal and fated attraction.

from ZGQ's pov, it was—of course—laying his life on the line to comprehend one of the Eight Supremes:

(LA s1, ep. 13; see also manhua ch. 109 & donghua s2, ep. 10)

from WY's pov, it was befriending ZGQ despite knowing he harbors other intentions:

(LA s1, ep. 23; see also manhua ch. 191 & donghua s3, ep. 5)

as such, i'm not the biggest fan of how Youku tl'ed the line as "a meaningless struggle." because neither of their choices were meaningless. both of them were acting as Zhuge Liang had: 明知天理在 但是逆大势而行 / despite knowing full well that divine order and destiny exist, behaving in a manner that opposes the momentum of the times.

indeed, it could be argued that associating with each other was not in anyone's best interest. WY even remarks in Biyou Village:

"In truth, originally I could've not defeated you... No! Rather, it should be said that originally I could've not become acquainted with a scoundrel like you..." (manhua ch. 222; see also donghua s4, ep. 4)

which is what makes their relationship even more special. they were never supposed to meet—yet their meeting was inevitable. they are equals; they abide by the same principles, even if their methods are not always the same.

in the live-action adaptation in particular, 飞蛾扑火 is a lyric in 《戎断反应》, which is the song most associated with ZLH/XH (and also FSY/JZL in s1, ep. 17).

(LA s1, ep. 6)

so... make of that parallel what you will. (this is far from the only time YeQing are directly juxtaposed with other canon couples, but i'm specifically referring to the nature and context of ZLH/XH's "forbidden" relationship more than anything else.)

the element of fire also marks the progression of YeQing's relationship in other ways.

in the Longhu-shan arena, ZGQ launches a ball of fire at WY with 赤炼......

(LA s1, ep. 13; see also manhua ch. 108 & donghua s2, ep. 9)

...which is, strangely enough, the exact same spell ZGQ uses during Biyou Village arc to force WY out of danger:

(donghua s4, ep. 5; see also manhua ch. 228)

so the imagery of ZGQ and WY always being separated by [a wall of] fire is really striking to me.

significantly, fire is also the dominant element of the Zhuge family's ultimate skill, 三昧真火 / True Fire of Samadhi, which ZGQ was never able to master until he triumphed over his 心魔 (WY & the Feng-hou Qimen he possesses):

(manhua ch. 311)

so, fire has always stood in-between these two in some way. but, like moth to a flame, they will always find their way back to each other.

(i definitely think that's the direction the manhua is currently developing in at least, esp. given that ZGQ has now found peace with himself and how he regards WY.)

furthermore, in 五行 / five elements, fire signifies a pinnacle (i.e., combustion), with a decline sure to follow. pretty neat, then, that in the donghua s2 opening 《无涯》 / Limitless, WY and ZGQ are matched with the lyrics 缘起缘灭 / fate begins, fate extinguishes:

by 五行 standards, fire is also associated with the organ: heart. given that WY is ZGQ's 心魔 / lit. heart's demon, and also that (in WYLR's words) they've 推心置腹 / lit. given their heart into the other's keeping, i think that really is just more than fitting.

and—finally—fire is related to alchemy. to tempering, to refinement, and to permanent transformation. hence:

Zhuge Qing: unrestrained as the winds, ardent as a wildfire. Wang Ye is melting. He’ll never be able to go back. (from 青春归你 | my youth and yours)

YeQing inevitably altered the course of each other's lives. (but that's for a separate post～)

I think Sonamy in Sonic Frontiers is better than Sonic Prime. I feel like they kinda make Amy a villain. Seriously, I want my happy-cheerful Amy with Cindy Robinson voice 😭 (Amy's voice in Sonic Prime kinda a mean popular girl with sassy attitude's voice)

Em, although I see what you mean, I think they did a really interesting angle with Amy in Prime.

Frontiers Amy felt too much like Archie Amy, the Game version of Amy is usually very supportive of Sonic, a bit 'Quick on her Heels' to jump into things, true, but she's not so sassy. She does counter Sonic abruptly in a few games, but never to the point that it comes off as abrasively insensitive. (Personally, I think Amy is a bit spicy in her quick conflict starters in Frontiers 🙄 don't sue me lolol)

(Gosh, this moment makes me CRINGE. It was all GREAT, but then this moment happened. Amy should never be animated to this line, because it's completely not her, and the Japanese changed it, and thank goodness. It's so hurtful to say this, knowing that's not what Sonic is saying. Amy is insightful, it's one of the wonderful things about her, she's so attuned to the emotions of life. This scene made me squirm at how confrontational it was. Everything else was fine, but this. one. scene. Ruined Amy's chara for Frontiers for me. She's the SASSY one, not Prime!)

Amy has always been the 'heart' of the team. Sonic is the 'will' and 'soul', that 'Spirit of Freedom'. Knuckles 'Might/Strength and Honor/Duty working in tandem, and Tails the 'Humble Brain' that sometimes falls to thoughts of self-doubts due to idolizing their heroes.

In Prime, Amy is the emotional counterpoint for Sonic. Tails is the focal point of his comradery and bravery. Knuckles is Sonic's sense of heroism, positivity, and never giving up attitude.

Through his friends in Prime, we see more of Sonic's true character. He supports and uplifts his friends, is funny with his cocky attitude, struggles when things are in disarray, and seeks unity again--knowing he's stronger with it.

The disconnect in Boom--for the video game--was Sonic was a loner, not understanding that his pride looked like arrogance and got him into a lot of trouble. He learned that things were easier and better with his Friends.

In Prime, he teaches the audience once more that although he is STILL the infamous Sonic The Hedgehog, fastest thing alive, he's also vulnerable without his friends, and cares deeply for them.

Amy shows how all her lessons have distilled in Sonic a sense of compassion with his firece justice attitude. he's not--"I'm right, you're wrong." Anymore. He's "There's a better way." which is Amy's role to show the audience that side of him. (It doesn't matter, now what happens. I will never give up the fight~ Long as the voice inside, drives me to run and fight. It doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right~ - A Sonic Theme centered around Sonic's personality. Lyrics and Song: (x) )

Tails's role in Prime teaches honesty of character. Sonic has grown so attached to his 'man in the chair' but also sees Tails as so much more, he's his best friend, but he's never had to 'earn Tails's trust' before. In the backstory, Tails admired him as a hero. In this world, Sonic has to now earn and give that trust back tenfold--the fans often complained that Sonic wasn't always 'brotherly' to Tails like they wanted him to be, this is SEGA building a character arc to say, "Sonic also admires Tails" and appreciates and needs him. In the media of Sonic brand, we know that we've only ever seen Sonic inspiring Tails, now we see him fully immersing himself in uplifting his little buddy once more--showing how much Sonic has grown throughout the years as a character.

Even Shadow, Knuckles, and Rouge (Even Big ~Steadfast heart of gold!~) play a role in helping the audience see Sonic's 'True Character'. I felt it was written with a lot of care towards the true canon of Sonic and the casts character portrayals, although throwing them into an 'amnesia'-like clever trope to go through their 'characters' again in an entertaining way, that's just a personal preference of the script-writers in how they wanted to accuracy tell their view of the story and charas, but all the materials that make up their characters are still present and accounted for.

The writing is interesting, and there were times I actually FANGIRLED because I would have written THE SAME LINES if it were me in charge of dialogue. It was handled with more care than we've ever seen in the Sonic universe up to this point. (Referring to the string of some less-than-what-we-would-have-wanted stuff...)

I've lived through so many Sonic reboots, bad portrayals, and heartbreakingly bad moments as a Sonic fan... that seeing expert film script writers--I believe the same that worked on Marvel Spiderman or other comic-book titles who are HEAVY into lore--that Sonic's lore is finally being treated with respect and due research.

Is it made for kids? Sure. Was there a way to make the story for more our age audiences? Yeah. Did they do that? Not really, but that doesn't mean it's not a carefully considered love letter to the older fans as well.

Amy, in my humble opinion, had some interesting directions for Frontiers...

Amy in Prime, although they are ALL characterizations of 'spinoff versions' of their true selves, were--and maybe--are leading up to character arcs I feel I will probably approve of.

Why is this different? Why do I approve more of Prime--what should be considered a jump in fanfiction dimensions--verses a mainline game that supposedly should be more accurate of lore and character?

I never said that Frontiers didn't have lore! It had a great animated sequence showing off Knuckles, it had some great characterization moments with the cast and Sonic! Arguably a good few dramatic scenes of angst to boost too--though, that's not what's as important to me.

I want good story, good character, the works... what Frontier did was alright and good for being in a drought of long standing runs with no relief in a dry spell that Sonic has been trying to fight due to Sammy and other companies (watched a video on it, so much clarity!) not giving enough support to him--BUT!

Prime dives into the psyche of Sonic, and it has more emotional depth--in my humble opinion--of character-revealing moments of characters truly bonding and revealing their bond to the world, then Frontiers--which still had a nice blend--but not to the same extent.

How come?

One is a limited game with limited resources, the other was funded resources, given all the lore it could ever want and ask for, and braced itself for a narrative far longer than a few hours of skating on railings. (Not bashing gameplay, making a metaphorical 'tease' statement here.)

It's just differences.

Amy in Prime, seems more like Canon Amy's spirit, then Frontier's Amy... simply because Frontier's Amy didn't get enough screentime, presence, and greater bonding opportunities.

Prime Amys, though again, all separate and split 'pieces' are still 'pieces' nonetheless of the recognizable Amy Rose we've grown up with to love and know and love with assurity.

Yes, all of them. Because they are FOILS to Amy.

This one LITERALLY becomes Amy by the end of the episode! We just had to walk to get there, but we got there!

Does that mean Frontiers is worse or bad? No. Does that mean I hate Frontiers? No. Does that mean Prime is the supreme Sonic media in all the land? Again, no, stop that. You keep that kinda talk up, I'll lightly swat your hand and give you my best puffed-up, Amy pouty face you've ever seen! lol

Your argument, to me, is a discussion.

Is Amy portrayed as a villain? No. She's portrayed as a victim of circumstances where Sonic wasn't able to save her from becoming a damsel in distress. Is she a strong damsel in distress? Usefully, yes, because Amy's always been strong no matter what befalls or becomes her. Do they abuse that? Oh yeah! That's what makes this new idea of different versions of her so fun! She's one of the most versatile characters in Sonic media, simply because her personality, character role, and emotional motives are so much more vaster in starting plot points and meaningful, story and character driven narratives that she's one of the best dynamic writing tools to use in Sonic universes. All for Sonic's benefit? Well, yeah, that's one of her Character Roles, to reveal Sonic's 'merciful' side when it comes to fighting and destroying robots for his 'adventurous justice' streaks which I've discussed in earlier topics before.

"No. Mechanically enhanced. Survival required adaptation. As you will soon learn."

(This scene sets up Rusty Rose as "Survived on her own, used by the Eggmans, all because she was distraught because there was no such things as 'heroes' so she tried to 'save herself'." it's the tragic Damsel in Distress that tried to save herself and couldn't. In this dystopia, what a better character setup do you propose!? She's a victim who fought her own battles and--without friends--failed and so she gave in and succumbed to 'No Hope' a GREAT foil for her chara! She tried hope! It didn't work! Just made her this... able to be manipulated and controlled, losing her 'heart' in the process... quite literally...)

She does help the team reveal some of their hearts too, it's not all just for Sonic's benefit, but for the most part, that is her reason for existing in Sonic's world.

Is Amy happy-cheerful in Sonic Prime? Yeah! Until someone split a stupid Prism and made a world without Sonic's influence in it! Is Cindy the only good voice actress for Amy? I'd argue based on my own childhood experiences someone else, so it's really about preferences, and I would have to say that it's a human decision made by many factors, and doesn't define Amy's character. How can I say that? Because Amy's original voice is Japanese, and I could argue that if we want to be hyper-canon-specific, there are fans who don't even know Cindy Robinson because Amy's always had a Japanese voice actor, and doing an English one is the 'fake' one, so let's not get into semantics XDDD lolol

I agree that Frontiers has spice to her that doesn't really equal Amy to me. Amy sure has some spunk and pizzazz, but not in a confrontational way. She's too kindhearted to argue for no reason, she defends and inspires in different ways that help Sonic and the team, even bad guys go good... There are flaws in her, sure, but not to spark contrasting conflict just 'because'.

Some may argue this was done in Frontiers to give her more of a 'story arc with rising conflict' but if you're struggling that much... yikes.

Besides, Japanese dub does Amy some real cool justice in Frontiers, and I love the part in the flashback where she's trying to stop the lover from getting herself hurt as she runs into the fray for the man-chaos-looking-creature that she loves. (Which, that whole story is debunked by Sonic Adventure 1 sooooooo...)

(Sonic being a good hero bf T//^//T We stan a PROTEC scene where Sonic cares about Amy, but when she gets too emotional, can hold her through it!)

I loved that scene! It's Amy realizing how people see her actions, how she 'runs into the fray after Sonic' but begins to question whether that's really right or not. She loves love, but recklessly tossing aside life due to unspoken feelings that were too late to speak, to shy to articulate, not enough time..?

She has a 'come to the light' moment where she admits she wants to learn more, mature, and make herself someone that Sonic can respect (In Japanese, which is a really good rewriting in my humble opinion of the original English written script.)

And to agree with you, Sonic DOES support Amy in seeing that sometimes, her actions and views on love are a little exaggerated and skewed, leading him to reach out and show his consideration of her by not calling her 'foolish' or 'reckless' but instead stating that he's excited to hear all about her adventure when she gets back.

He also has some unspoken things, but until Amy learns the difference between real love and fictional exaggerations taught to people who 'dramatically' view love, she may never be able to understand how much he truly does care about her... because she wouldn't view his 'subtle realism' as how someone 'madly, deeply, oh, truly in love!' would act because of her current perceptions on how love--and subsequently people in love--are like or act.

She realized that maybe, both Sonic and her friend, show and express love in different ways. That's why she's going to discover those 'different types of love', to understand Sonic and love better. This is a Coming of Age.

Frontiers needed more time in the oven, personal opinion with the respects that I'm not an authority figure on anything, and Prime could have benefited older Sonic fans by having its rating not made explicitly for younger audience's parameters, but they did good with what they could work with--with what limitations certain ratings bring.

Now, as a conclusion:

Both are good, but I prefer Prime due to having more 'story-focused' time to bake in the oven and show us characterizations with just enough time for us to bond and see the meaning in it, but I also liked Frontiers and their character moments, but wished for longer moments and less 'confusing' story elements to add to those interactions.

My Cuties, I'm your girl, Mayra. And this rant was sponsored by Anon, who is so gracious enough to donate 1 million dollars to educating Japanese Sonic fans of who the heck is Cindy Robinson! :D Love you all and goodnight! <3

Semi-plotted starter for @lcmours

"Oh, I'm sorry, I - "

Melissa stopped mid-apology, recognising the woman she'd quite literally bumped into. She'd watched the redhead singing mere moments ago, though it seemed a lot had changed since then. The crowds had gotten almost uncontrollable; while there were plenty of other performers available, everyone wanted Satine. The Sparkling Diamond had changed as well, she looked slightly less poised, but not by much. The red dress Satine currently wore left nothing to the imagination, the fabric hugging all the right places; the top part was a corset that nipped in Satine's waist, and in Melissa's opinion, it looked uncomfortably tight.

The psychiatrist had come to the Moulin Rouge as a means of escaping the somewhat bleak worldview that came with her job. Instead, walking into this wild world had had the opposite effect. Everywhere Melissa looked there was someone to psychoanalyse; faults of human nature on full display - self-destruction, over-indulgence, people believing they were free but trapping themselves within their roles.

"I was looking for a place to be alone, I think I needed a break from being 'the entertained'."

Her thoughts turned to the woman in front of her. She'd been so enthralled by Satine's performance, it was only once it had ended that she'd been given a chance to recognise the smaller, subtler details: the fact that Harry Zidler had always been close by, the way Satine's smile had seemed slightly forced after her quick-change.

And then there was the song itself, the implications in the lyrics.

If Satine was the Sparkling Diamond and diamonds are a girl's best friend, did that mean Satine was her own best friend? She'd given herself that title so no else could abuse the power that came with it; self-reliance as a form of protection?

Or worse still, was Satine emotionally attached to expensive jewels because diamonds have no emotions, they couldn't reject her and break her heart?

Men grow cold as girls grow old, and we all lose our charms in the end, but square cut or pear shaped these rocks don't lose their shape...

If Satine was a diamond - shiny, perfect, something to crave - could it also be inferred that she longed for the everlasting beauty of the precious gem, to be immortal in her glitz and glamour, never aging, never changing unless someone required her to change?

The Sparkling Diamond, not a person, but a thing, something to aspire to have, something to be bought. Something you can use to show off your wealth and maintain an image, except the Sparkling Diamond has a mind of her own and she, too, has an image to maintain, otherwise she doesn't get her diamonds. Diamonds for diamonds, decadence for decadence.

Melissa looked into Satine's dark blue eyes as if trying to read the starlet's thoughts.

"Do you ever feel as though you need a break from being an entertainer?"

She momentarily broke the intense eye-contact by glancing to the side, knowing that the question she was about to ask might not be well-received, but she had Satine's best interests at heart.

"Falling from such a height... that wasn't part of the show, was it?

It was technically a question, but Melissa phrased it to convey that she had a theory on what the answer would be.

The gasp Satine had made before fainting hadn't been dramatic enough to be an act; swooning was one thing, but completely blacking out didn't match the character Satine had been playing.

One thing was clear, Melissa would not be able to do Satine's job - playing an exaggerated version of herself, a smorgasbord of other people's desires. No, she had a feeling that if she even tried, she'd end up losing the original Melissa and be consumed by the character.

The creator consumed by their character, a slightly humorous but very alarming concept.

Art had a way of destroying its artists, and the Moulin Rouge was nothing but art. She just hoped Satine wouldn't be destroyed. Melissa didn't know how she knew, or whether she was only seeing what Satine wanted her to see, but she was certain that the Sparkling Diamond could do far better than this place would ever offer her.

Top Graduation Cap Trends to Elevate Your Graduation Day Look

Graduation day is one of the most anticipated moments in a student’s life, marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. While the gown plays an essential role in your graduation outfit, the graduation cap, or mortarboard, offers a unique opportunity to express your personality and style. Over the years, creative trends have emerged, transforming this simple piece of headwear into a fashionable statement.

In this article, we’ll explore the top graduation cap trends that can help you stand out on your big day.

1. Personalized Graduation Caps

One of the most popular trends is personalizing your graduation cap. Customizing your cap allows you to make it uniquely yours, reflecting your journey, achievements, and future aspirations. Whether you add your name, graduation year, or a quote that resonates with your experience, the options are endless.

How to Personalize Your Cap:

Quotes: Include your favorite motivational quote or a phrase that has guided you through your academic journey. Some graduates opt for witty one-liners or humorous sayings that highlight their personality.

Name and Degree: Incorporating your name, degree, or school initials gives your cap a professional and personal touch.

Colors and Symbols: Add colors that reflect your school pride or symbols that represent your major or future career path.

Personalization allows you to create a cap that serves as a memento of your academic achievements.

2. Floral Accents

Floral decorations have become a staple in graduation cap trends. Adding fresh or artificial flowers to the top or sides of your cap can bring a soft, elegant touch to your overall look. Graduates often choose flowers that align with their school colors or personal tastes.

Why Flowers Work:

Elegant and Feminine: Flowers add a delicate, feminine vibe to your cap without being overly flashy.

Symbolic Meaning: Different flowers carry various meanings. For example, roses symbolize love and beauty, while daisies represent innocence and new beginnings, making them ideal for marking your transition into the next phase of life.

Customization: You can choose from a range of blooms, from bold, large flowers like sunflowers to smaller, subtle options like baby’s breath.

If you’re looking to add a touch of nature to your graduation outfit, floral accents are a perfect choice.

3. Inspirational and Pop Culture Designs

Another fun trend is drawing inspiration from movies, TV shows, and pop culture. Many graduates choose to incorporate iconic phrases, characters, or symbols from their favorite fandoms to give their caps a personalized yet playful twist.

Popular Pop Culture Themes:

Movies and TV Shows: Phrases from well-known films like "The Graduate," "Harry Potter," or "Marvel" make for fun and relatable designs. For example, a cap decorated with “Adventure is Out There” from Pixar’s Up can symbolize the journey ahead.

Music Lyrics: Graduates who are passionate about music often opt for quotes or lyrics from their favorite artists, bands, or songs.

Memes: If you have a great sense of humor, you could add a meme or viral saying that resonates with your classmates or the times, making your cap a humorous conversation starter.

Pop culture-inspired caps allow you to infuse creativity and personality into your graduation look.

4. Rhinestones and Glitter

For graduates who want to shine��literally—rhinestones and glitter are the go-to trend. These caps are all about making a statement and ensuring you stand out in the crowd. Whether you cover your entire cap with sparkles or use rhinestones to accentuate specific words or patterns, this trend is all about glamor.

How to Shine Bright with Rhinestones and Glitter:

Full Glitter Design: Cover your entire cap with a glittery base that catches the light and adds shimmer to your look.

Embellished Accents: If a full glitter cap seems too much, you can use rhinestones to highlight letters, outlines, or small designs like stars and hearts.

Color Combinations: Opt for gold or silver glitter, or choose hues that match your school colors for a cohesive look.

Just remember, a little goes a long way with glitter—strike a balance so your cap is glamorous but not overwhelming.

5. Artistic Masterpieces

Some graduates choose to transform their caps into works of art, using the surface as a canvas to showcase their talents. This trend is perfect for those who are skilled at painting, drawing, or crafting. Artistic caps are often one-of-a-kind pieces that display originality and passion.

Ideas for Artistic Caps:

Painted Landscapes: Some graduates paint scenic landscapes that hold personal significance, like the skyline of their hometown or an important landmark from their school.

Portraits: If you’re artistically inclined, a self-portrait or a painting of someone who has inspired your academic journey can make a bold statement.

Abstract Designs: For those who love abstract art, creating a visually striking design with bold colors and shapes will set you apart from the crowd.

Artistic caps are not only visually stunning but also tell a story of creativity and individual expression.

6. Sustainably Made Caps

As sustainability becomes a growing concern, many graduates are choosing eco-friendly graduation caps. Whether made from recycled materials or designed to be reused, these caps reflect a commitment to environmental consciousness.

How to Go Green with Your Graduation Cap:

Recycled Materials: Some companies offer caps made from recycled plastic bottles or sustainable fabrics.

DIY and Upcycling: Instead of buying a new cap, you can make one yourself from upcycled materials, such as fabric scraps or old clothes.

Biodegradable Decorations: Consider using natural elements like dried flowers, leaves, or eco-friendly glitter to decorate your cap in an environmentally conscious way.

This trend is ideal for eco-conscious graduates who want to make a positive impact while celebrating their achievements.

Final Thoughts

Your graduation cap is more than just part of your outfit—it’s an opportunity to showcase your personality, creativity, and style. From personalized messages to glittering designs and floral arrangements, the top trends offer endless possibilities to make your cap unforgettable. Whichever trend you choose, make sure it reflects who you are and elevates your graduation day look to the next level.

Justin Timberlake - Everything I Thought It Was

Justin Timberlake’s first album in six years, Everything I Thought It Was, comes with some context that frankly needs to be unpacked before we can talk about it. For starters, JT’s public image has been somewhat tarnished over the last couple of years, due to Britney Spears releasing her memoir and saying a lot of unflattering things about him and their relationship. People have also been began reexamining certain pop culture events in retrospect, especially the 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction of Janet Jackson (which she was penalized for but JT wasn’t). He should be rightfully held accountable for things that he’s said and done, and he has since apologized, but JT’s biggest crime is relying on his white male privilege in the pop industry during the 90s and 00s, especially when misogyny was running rampant. The other important piece of context that’s needed is that his last album, 2018’s Man Of The Woods, wasn’t critically acclaimed like his last few albums. It was successful, but a lot of critics were not kind to it. Man Of The Woods tried to reframe his sound as “back to his roots” album, taking on influences of country, Americana, traditional R&B, and some futuristic funk, but it was kind of a mess. Personally, I like that mess, and think that album isn’t as bad as most critics made it out to be.

A couple of months ago, JT released the first single from this album, “Selfish,” and it served as both somewhat of a return to form and a red herring. That song is very reminiscent of something he would have put out The 20/20 Experience, especially “Mirrors,” but with a sense of wisdom as someone who is a decade older. It turned out to be a red herring, because Everything I Thought It Was is a very energetic, groovy, and fun album. It has a few ballads, and some introspective moments, but this album is very much a return to form. This album reminds me a lot of his first few albums, whether it’s the straightforward pop and R&B of Justified, forward thinking pop and R&B of FutureSex / LoveSounds, or the disco, funk, and retro-inspired sounds of The 20/20 Experience. You can listen to the album and pick out sounds from other albums, or even specific callbacks to other albums, but the songs stand up on their own, so as much as this album leans into nostalgia, and it definitely does, it’s not the only trick it has up its sleeve.

At this point in his career, where JT is a husband, father, and older in general, he doesn’t have anything to prove. I don’t understand why people act as though a lot of well-established artists, especially those that have been around for decades, need to keep pumping out mindblowing or unique material that rivals their best stuff. That is ideal, as we want our favorite artists to keep making great music, but JT is a guy with nothing to prove and nothing to lose. If he wants to make an album that’s basically him doing what he does best, I’ll take it. A lot of other reviews I’ve seen for this album have made the argument that this record is safe, and I’d say that, too, but why is that a bad thing? Songs like “Fuckin’ Up The Disco,” “Play,” “Technicolor,” “No Angels,” “Liar,” “Selfish,” and “Sanctified,” among others, have fantastic grooves, silky smooth vocals, and wonderful production from a myriad of producers and writers. All of these songs have something I really enjoy, and weirdly enough, its 77-minute length doesn’t bother me. There’s something to like on every song, but I will say that the last four songs slow down the album a bit, because they’re slower ballads. “Selfish” is the one that kicks off the last few tracks, and that song is the best out of them, but there’s “Alone,” “Paradise,” and “Conditions.” “Paradise” is interesting, because it features *NSYNC, and not in a small role, but this an *NSYNC song, through and through.

If there is one issue I have with this album, and I say that lightly, it’s that the lyrics aren’t anything we haven’t heard from him. JT made the album out to be that this would be very self-reflective and introspective, and the opening track, “Memphis,” sort of promises that. The song is JT looking back at his younger self and being told that he’s going to be a star but at the expense of not being able to express sadness and pain, along with feeling alone and isolated. The song is sort of clever by being this drab and downtrodden trap / R&B song and JT’s vocals sound defeated and saddened. If that’s the point, that’s extremely clever, but if not, it’s just a coincidence the song sounds like that. The closing track, “Conditions,” is a song that has him admitting that he isn’t perfect and he’s working on being better. The album is bookended by some introspective songs, but the issue is, the rest of the album is stuff we’ve heard from him for the past 20 years. If anything, the reflection comes into the sound of the album, not necessarily what he’s saying.

Everything I Thought It Was is an album that feels like a mix between a course correction after Man Of The Woods (which isn’t even that bad, honestly) and an album that takes advantage of the nostalgia wave that we’re in. He doesn’t have anything to prove with this, and from what I’ve seen, most casual listeners care more about the hits than they do new material. That’s the case for most artists, unfortunately, but this is an album for diehard fans and people that are looking for a solid pop and R&B record. This has some of the best pop and R&B tracks I’ve heard in a while, and given some time, a handful of these songs may end up being some of his best. As a diehard fan of JT for the past 12 years, this is everything I’ve wanted, especially after Man Of The Woods. It’s just JT doing what he does best, and while there’s only one song that’s over seven minutes (“Technicolor”) that brings to mind The 20/20 Experience, this is a fun, energetic, and groovy album that I’m having a blast with.

My expectations for this were too high. I had pegged it as the Victorian mystery series where I wouldn't have to read through characters waxing overly lyrical about the attractiveness of the love interest, but I was wrong. Granted, this time it was the guy mooning over the girl, so a slight twist on the trope, but still kinda annoying to me.

I found it hard to go along with some of the things that happened in this novel. For starters, a lord of England breaking and entering and trawling through the mud just felt too bizarre. The fact that they went along with the request to 'steal' the artwork even though it was physically impossible and banking on stealing the blackmail material instead felt very convenient/lucky.

What I did like was Olivia playing a more active role.

Something I was hoping for was some involvement from their half brother. Maybe next novel.

Also maybe next novel Charlotte and Ash can work out some arrangement that will make all of us happier....

lyrics starters 24

If you wanna do something impactful, then you gotta be willing to sacrifice.

It ain't never gonna happen.

Kill or be killed.

I need to meditate.

I ain't got no room to grow.

I don't hesitate.

Just get it done.

Let me demonstrate.

Let it soak in.

Let it resonate.

Every step I've ever taken in the wrong direction helped me get to where I am today.

Life will test you.

Let's get right to it.

You're either with me or against me.

I can feel it.

Life is precious.

Life is filled with dead end roads.

Keep on pushing.

Go on, keep on praying. God ain't listening to ya.

I feel like I'm at a standstill.

I've got qualities that I'm not proud of.

I've made promises that I walked out on.

I've had days I feel I don't deserve love.

Think what you think.

Don't call me a mistake.

Sometimes I think I might be a lost cause.

You'd think I'm mental.

I'll stand on my own two feet.

I don't live like that.

I feel trapped.

I might lash out.

I gotta watch my back.

Why wait?

Too late.

Never heard it.

My way or the highway.

No chance.

I am what they wanna be.

You might've read about.

You either got it or you don't got it.

I'm the captain.

I'm the lead role.

I'm the future.

Man, stop!

We ain't doing nothing!

That's the way I like it.

Too many cooks in the kitchen.

That's a problem I ain't ever gotta worry about.

To each his own.

For me, that's a little wild.

I don't need nobody showing me the ropes.

I don't need you.

I don't need my name coming out your mouth!

I don't need you using me to get respect.

Worry about yourself.

I don't need your help.

What's your name?

Doesn't ring a bell.

I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.

You ever need me for any reason, let me know.

I got your back.

I would die and kill for you.

Don't question that.

You know it's true.

I'm proud of you.

I can't believe it...

It still fascinates me.

Life is flying by.

It's only right that I return the favor.

You changed my life.

I would take a bullet, give my life in a second, if it came down to it.

I swear I'd do it.

I got you.

That's not a flaw, that's perfection.

I can't imagine how you feel.

It's mind blowing.

The selflessness you show me on a day to day basis is humbling.

Always saw my glass as half empty.

I was irresponsible.

I had no clue who I was.

Gave it all we had, but guess our all wasn't enough.

Sometimes I think of you, and it makes me sad.

It was for the best.

I pray someday you find yourself.

Don't wait.

It's too late to keep holding on.

I'm already gone.

The truth is we just weren't right.

I'm happy for you, I am.

Don't get me wrong.

I think about you, too.

If I did it, then I did it right.

You're gonna pay the price.

I ain't playing nice.

That's a part of life.

That just won't suffice.

The boy is clever.

Stop complaining!

My head hurts.

That's a piece of me that I won't let go.

I already know.

It's just another day.

Life is a gift.

My days in this game are numbered.

It was worth it.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that life is uncertain.

We're all hypocrites.

Hear me out.

I know it's been a couple years since I've reached out.

I know I've been selfish.

I feel more comfortable living in my agony.

The truth is, I need help.

I just can't imagine who I'd be if I was happy.

It feels like something's off.

I got some issues that I won't address.

I got some baggae I ain't opened yet.

I got some demons I should put to rest.

I got some traumas that I can't forget.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul and the last to admit I need a hand to hold.

everybody needs someone

🎁 (For TKB perhaps?)

send for a starter based on a random song lyric from my playlist

|🪦| Hourglass - Set it Off|🪦| [omf.. this song works] "victim to the sands of time; falling through the hourglass"

Zorku, like any of the other deities in the innumerable pantheon, could take on whatever guise he considered capable of getting the best results. Sometimes a demonesque form, sometimes a humanoid form, or sometimes even a draconic form. Maybe a merger of all three if he was feeling particularly pissed.

This time, he had chosen the more human form with long, dark hair and piercing red eyes. He'd have to play the role of a sweet talker to get what he wanted from the thief who had returned to the temple grounds. Zorku had been playing the long game with the Thief King, of course, for the Items. Yet they'd both get what they wanted in the end.

"The chosen one returns from his adventure! I do hope your raid on the priests was successful, or was it another day to rob a tomb?" Zorku inquired aloud and studied the other male.

Yes, the other would make a fine host. "If you at least secure the Ring, then I could help you even more."

Melody of Memory || Sora & Furina

@liightaga liked for a starter!

Sighing wistfully as the soft sound of crashing waves met her ears, Furina felt a pang of homesickness hit her chest. While she knew that she had a mission here...another mission and another role to play, she couldn't help but wish that she could visit home one more time before she had to help this world.

Humming to herself a familiar tune from a little play that she was in, the melody was somber and wanting in tone. While her mouth did not open to form any lyrics, she knew them by heart.

It was her story afterall.

Feeling a tear fall down her face, Furina quickly wiped away the water from her eye and continued to hum, hoping that it was alleviate her mood.
