Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’

#everything felt so much less like Content then #and as someone who wants to share creative stuff online #it’s now incredibly daunting thinking about doing that bc #especially as a disabled person who can’t work full time #it feels almost impossible to extricate art from being Content #like there’s this immense pressure to produce things that could pass as professionally produced by a team of educated people #and to make smart decisions so that somehow eventually you can profit off your art #and instead of it being a ‘hey look at my silly little song’ it becomes #competing in an over saturated market already dominated by the nepotism afforded by wealth and connections #and it feels like it would very difficult not to measure my personal satisfaction with how a certain piece of art turned out #by how much attention it got online #even though I genuinely have zero desire to be famous and it sounds like a complete nightmare #anyway I’m gonna have ice cream for dinner how about you guys #hmp42

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is “ofc about him” so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?

Sorry, just confused

I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YES👏GIRL👏FUCKING TELL THEM👏) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).

#maya henry #blah blah blah #re the tiktok also lmaoooo are people really saying she wants money her family IS RICH like RICH RICH #but hot damn the part about enabling UH HUH !!!!!#yep yep yep #in terms of the other guys and what would shock me... well obviously we know Zayn has also had a history of agression #and we know WAY too much about him being pushy about sex lol #I would not be shocked to hear he crossed a line... but think he's probably just a bit of a fuckboy #I absolutely do not trust Niall behind closed doors but the songs we have about him seem to tell a pretty consistent story;#self absorbed but basically harmless #harry... who tf knows what he is like outside of being with Louis but I would be shocked to hear of him being aggressive yeah #I have a lot of issues with him but taking advantage of people or being pushy are not even on the radar #and as for Louis... like I said yeah it WOULD shock me. I don't just love him because he has a nice face!#it's BECAUSE of the ways we do know him and know what he's like. because of his tenderness and care #and his consistent kindness and love #and his openness about his private side #so yeah- it would shock the hell out of me it really would #but then I think that anon also was worried about eleanor spiling smth about their relationship so we are not coming from the same place #my kneejerk response was I'm sure he paid her on time what else are you worried about lol #although out of everyone if someone was going to say he lashed out at them I suppose it would be her #it was probably one of the most difficult and frought relationships in his life #and one that he did not want #so! but still no it doesn't worry me #tbh there was one thing in mayas video today that did surprise me which was the premeditation #Liam actually planning using the fans against people and sneaking around doing stuff #I guess even believing everythign I had chosen to paint a picture in my mind of someone who was still #basically unaware of the wrong they were doing and more flailing than plotting #and that shakes me a little. and makes me very unhappy to hear #liam discourse

posting another one jerma vocaloid mashup that's been sitting on my desktop for a while. made with nothing but Audacity and a dream

#jerma #jerma985 #hatsune miku #song is binomi by maretu #something something cannibalism and AA EE OO joke that was very imminent when the song was released #fun fact i was actually trying to recreate the whole song with nothing but jerma noises #but that proved to be extremely difficult so i gave up soon afterward and only have this much done

leona + good intentions

requested by anonymous

#twst layouts #twisted wonderland layouts #layouts #twst #twisted wonderland #leona kingscholar #savanaclaw #requests #despite the song having clear aesthetic inspiration #it was difficult to pair with leona #i do like the colors i landed on though #i don't think i go for browns very often but i should do that more #i was going for something tombstone shaped for the icons #similar enough without being literal #also i never consider autumnal or spooky aesthetics with light backgrounds #so i kept that in mind here #cloudcalling #platinum jacket #birthday bloom

Alicent might have been faking smiles all the years she was with Viserys but she never faked smiles when it came to her children. I can imagine Alicent learning that she was pregnant for the first time with Aegon and feeling ever more connected to her religion and to the mother she lost so young. Feeling as if she could provide for this child and give him all the love she had in her heart, the love she was being deprived of. “Maybe this baby will love me” she’d think to herself, and she’d stroke her belly and whisper to it: “mommy loves you. She can’t wait to meet you.”

It definitely was a shock for Alicent to be pregnant too young and by a man whom she didn’t love and who didn’t love her, and pregnancy and childbearing definitely terrified her but you can clearly see that she is genuinely thrilled about the coming of Heleana. In all her miserable, sad, and painful life with Viserys the coming of her children was a happy note. A blessing from the gods. A sign that there was something to live for. Her life’s purpose. The coming of a person so close to her, she could call her own.
