so supernova is serving amazing indie as always (a fact that a part of this fandom likes to ignore). i absolutely love “sadzejot” by tepat and „zelts” by KoBra. i’m sososo happy to see so many songs in latvian!!!!!!!!!

eesti laul on the other hand is a mid-off. tommy cash absolutely didn’t live up to the expectations, i find the song boring, it kinda seams like he just submitted whatever bc he’s gonna win either way (and tbh i think he may flop which would be very funny). my favourite song rn is probably "Ma ei tea sind" but for the love of god i can’t imagine this being presented well live (andrei zevakin cannot sing to save his life)

and fik, well shkodra elektronike for the win

Getting off of the topic of Spotify Wrapped, Supernova is quality this year 👌

Announcing Sonic Supernova 2025!

Hello all!

I'd like to announce that planning for the fandom event Sonic Supernova 2025 is officially underway!

What is Sonic Supernova?

Sonic Supernova (Supernova for short) is an unofficial community event made by Sonic fans for Sonic fans, where artists and writers collaborate in teams to create unique fanworks for the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom over a creation period. During this time period, participants can also get to know one another in the social space created for the event, i.e. a Discord server. The end result is a fandom-wide, celebratory event aimed to contribute an explosion of fan content to the Sonic the Hedgehog community over a publishing period during which each team's creations are released.

What's special about Sonic Supernova?

Supernova takes inspiration from Big Bang events! Big Bangs are a popular and well-known format of fan-organised experiences. We wanted to make an event inspired by the Big Bang format but with aspects of it adjusted based on what fans like you and me would like to see in a collective fandom activity. Hence, instead of an explosion kick-starting the universe (Big Bang) we're naming our event after the explosion of a star that gives off light to a degree of a billion times more than our own sun (Supernova!).

For starters, we want Supernova to prize creators first in their humanity and their autonomy. Art is powerful. Stories are powerful. It can be as liberating, cathartic, relieving, and thought-provoking to read them as it is to create them, giving us the space to explore concepts and situations safely and at our own pace. So, to support a wider range of creative possibilities for our participants, Supernova will allow creators to make mature-rated content as an option for the event. Proper tools and moderation will ensure only adults who opted in will be able to submit and see mature works.

We also want to do team-ups differently for Supernova. In Big Bang events, artists and writers are typically teamed up via a blind match-up where artists select from a list of anonymised summaries of each writer's story. While this has its draws, our team is looking to implement different team-up methods where artists and writers get to be more aware of what project they're signing up for and who they're working with. The end goal is that participants are given the absolute best chance to be fully satisfied with the project and people they end up with for a creation period that will last a few months.

While it's still in its early days, we're also discussing features to make Supernova a memorable time for our participants, including making our own website for the event and offering exclusive digital art goodies for everyone who participates in it.

Above all, we at Supernova aim to put creators first. What we can say about the goals of Supernova—what we as organisers aim to accomplish—are the following commitments:

Bridging together creators in the Sonic fan community

Respecting the depth, diversity, and humanity of our creators

Upholding fans' autonomy to choose what content they wish to make and/or see

Organising the event in a transparent and considerate way

Ensuring creators' safety and no tolerance for harassment

Can I participate in Sonic Supernova?

Yes! Everyone will be able to participate in Supernova. All you need is a Discord account, an AO3 account if you're a writer, and a love for Sonic the Hedgehog!

As we're allowing fanworks with ratings ranging from general audiences to mature ones, we're working on a robust, thought-out system that supports creators' autonomy by ensuring people will only be able to see what they opted for. This will apply both for the Discord server hosting the event and the final, published works.

The event isn't restricted to visual artists and writers only. If you're passionate about making GIFs, graphics, music, animations, knitting, sculpting, or anything else, Supernova is more than open to you, too!

When will sign-ups open?

Unfortunately, we don't know just yet. We're still in the planning stages and we want to take the time to make sure we get things right, including getting community feedback on an interest check form so us organisers can make decisions with your wishes at heart. 

We'll provide more information as we get closer to milestones in our development stages (like when we open sign-ups for the event!) and fully welcome questions, comments, and feedback from other Sonic fans! Feel free to contact us at the following accounts:

Nominees for K-pop Song of the Year at the 2025 iHeartRadio Awards:

[innocent-diamond-2090110]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bza4Cz8FOpo - Did they just perform "Pierrot"?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFaRRPePyFc - "SET THE TONE" STRIKES BACK!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOQVKhBEHI4 - "Fate" rock version???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6xpAj65X8w - Anything you like?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHTMkUHNs8 - Another medley!

LE SSERAFIM — OMG they did! I wasn't expecting "Pierrot" in the year-end lineup, & the girls look gorgeous in their pirate dresses! However, the EBM remix of "CRAZY" isn't really my cup of tea.

aespa — I WON x2! I'm already thinking about what they'll perform this year after this year's comebacks.

(G)I-DLE — I kind of hear it? I love the stage outfits for "Super Lady", but I can't get over them wearing these for "Fate". Soyeon looks like Daisy Buchanan with her headdress (forgive me).

GFRIEND — THEY ARE SOOOOOO BACK FOR THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY! (Sowon is everyone's eternal leader.) The studio version of "Season of Memories" is out, & many people are saying this sounds like an anime song because of the producers involved (kind of like YOASOBI's "Racing into the Night" & Tsukuyomi Shirabe's "Draft folder"). I'm going to wait until next week for their official comeback-related videos.

SEVENTEEN — WEN JUNHUI, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! I'm still not used to watching OT3 PFU, though. A lot of people made memes of Hoshi saying "we're wearing (denim) JEANS" because it's a spoiler for the upcoming BSS comeback. Life is "aju nice" for now. :^)

[sztansescheadache]

this might actually be my favourite song of the season

The world is against me today 🙄 I had to miss the very beginning of Supernova, then the stream didn't work for 5 mins, then my dad called... Can I just watch in peace please, dear universe?

UPDATE: Supernova Songs!

On Wednesday, I reported that Latvia released the 20 songs that will fight to follow Dons' footsteps and go to Basel. Today, I finally had a chance to sit down and listen to the songs and offer my takes on it.

We have a vast variety of songs, and a few of the songs are in Latvian; which is something I, personally would love to see at the contest. We also saw some returning artists! Justs is making an attempt to return with his song "Fit Right" after competing in 2016 and finishing 15th for Latvia. Citi Zēni also looks to make a return after their 2022 showing with the song "Ramtai."

Of course, any quick dive into a national final would not be complete without me revealing my winner: "Something In The Water" by JULIANNA.
