šŸ“ø28 Degrees šŸ“ø
Credit: @venuscnjunctpluto
1000% sure this contributes to someones legacy and it is a cancer degree so this could imply the persons family played a huge role in their success.
ASCšŸ¦‹Audrey Hepburn has this degree and she is known for her look and her name is referenced a lot. Along with Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus. Actor Warren Beatty has this and his mom/sisters inspired him to become an actor which led to his acclaim. I think it could point to childhood notoriety or coming into the world with a purpose of achieving a household name. The family could have an impact on this persons entire persona and tied to his persons name in a way.
SUNšŸŒž Michael Jordan is extremely famous but also carries a cheerful image. He is listed as one of the greatest in his career field and has received a lot of accolades. In Aquarius, he was in the classic film Space Jam which blended animation and live action.
MOONšŸŒœKim Kardashian has this and her family are extremely famous. Their Show keeping up with the kardashians has allowed the family to hold onto the fame they might not have had before. She has numerous memes of her crying and also her mother Kris Jenner is well incorporated into Kimā€™s image.
MECURYšŸ§  Vince Staples known for being funny and extremely witty. He is heavily associated with his neighborhood and literally has an album called ā€œRamona Park Broke My Heartā€. Solange has this as well and she is known as BeyoncĆ©ā€™s sister (which I do not condone or support but letā€™s be real) and mercury rules siblings. PartyNextDoorā€™s references a neighborhood hood and he is well known where heā€™s from. This might suggest being mostly known within your town/city. Will Smith is known for his role as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (neighborhood)
JUPITER šŸ¹- Reaching an Intense level of fame Michael Jackson.
Tumblr media
VENUSšŸ’„Marilyn Monroe is known for her beauty and alleged relationships. Asap Rocky is known for his attractiveness, his fashion endeavors, and now his relationship with Rihanna. Angelina Jolie is known for her beauty as well as her relationships.
URANUSšŸ›ø Megan thee Stallion became well known very quickly (collab w beyonce, song w Nicki, and a song w bts not too long into her career) and incorporated being tall in her name. I remember before she got super duper famous there was an article and her interest in anime was highlighted.
Tumblr media
MARSšŸ”„Rihanna known for being a go-getter and having a masculine edge. Nicki is known also for being able to occupy a genre that was male dominated. ā€œSexy B*tch but my money real manlyā€.
NEPTUNE šŸŖžSteve Jobs has an image curated in illusion. I read his bio and was shocked at how neurotic and insensitive he seemed to be. People dream to be like him and he serves as motivation for a lot of people. Jay a has this as well and I immediately think of the ā€œwould you rather have money or a sit down with Jay Zā€ conversation.
LILITH šŸŒ¶ļø Ariana Grande has this and her scandals become extremely known for example the donut incident and her pattern of dating men w partners. People make comments about her getting away w a lot which could be due to her Lilith being in pisces. But no one can deny everything sheā€™s been accused of/has done becomes known to EVERYONE. There was an athlete who got outed for sleeping an OF model (who also exposed his k*nks) and I check his chart to find 28 degree Lilith.
Tumblr media
PLUTO šŸ¦‡ Nicki Minaj has had many eras and is known for changing the way female rappers are seen. (She also has pluto in 10th). Justin Bieber has this degree as well and heā€™s also has gone through many eras. He went from having the teen idol imageā€¦bad boy imageā€¦more spiritual image ā€¦

Okay, but, the obey me brother's with a MC/S-O who's the embodiment of a gen z?šŸ‘€
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! thank you for the ask!
Oh you know I gotta do that!
The brothers with a gen-z MC
Lucifer:
It all started when he threatened to punish you
You went too far with one of your pranks with belphie and Satan
Your brain only processed 'come to my room' and 'punishment'
"you've forced my hand, don't worry though, I cannot hurt you due to Diavolos wishes"
"now, don't try to run- what are you wearing?"
This is awkward
You decided to strut in proud with your hottest outfit
"it seems there was a miscommunication."
"YEAH! NO SHIT LUCIFER!"
You'd rather die (again) than deal with this
DISTRACTION!
"uh- YEET!"
You threw the closest book to you, it bonked him right on the head
You're going to die now
Mammon:
"repeat after me, eat the rich - get that bread, get that head and leave, peace out."
You're teaching him well
You and Mammon are partners in crime.....literally
This is a headache for EVERYONE
You need to stop teaching him memes - please levithan was enough!
You just know that the brothers would of protected the capital better
Levithan:
He's hip, he's down with the fellow kids
He knows human world memes but when you find out the devildom has their own version
It becomes war
"IT'S OOF!"
"NO! YOU STUPID HUMAN! IT'S DOOF!"
You'll never agree what's right
"be my greasy gamer boyfriend, I will be your e-thot"
You both only speak in reaction memes
Everyone is sure you two speak another language
Satan:
You are one of his worst enemies yet he cannot fully hate you
He loves education so being able to learn from you about your internet culture is a gold mine
You walked in on him and Lucifer having an arguement
Due to your genius, you immediately pulled at your phone and started to play 'daddy issues'
"no memes in gen, don't worry kitten I'll protect you"
"I shouldn't of trusted you on my server"
"but kitten-"
"YOU'RE BANNED FROM BOOK CLUB"
Asmodeus:
One word
WAP
You HAD to introduce asmo to Megan thee stallion and Nicki Minaj
Tik tok dances are a must
He will barge into your room and demand you show him more dances
You two make those object earings
Please he will buy loads of clothes from the human world to fit into the trends
"oh, dear, I love your shoes laces~"
Wanna see some real speed?
You ASCENDED from the cringe memories
Beezlebub:
Is it cake or is it a normal object?
When that was the hype you were pranking this poor man CONSTANTLY
Though, it's canon he's ate a pillar so nothing is stopping him
Beel has watched you pick fights with other demons so it was a surprise when you came running up to him
Phone in hand and looked like you were on the verge of tears
"Beel, I can't talk on the phone! Please do it for me!"
He's basically your guard dog, he has to carry you out of situations so you don't get killed by demons
Belphegor:
Choke me like you hate me but you love me-
"hey, belphie - remember when you killed me? Wanna do it again?"
"I thought we moved past this-"
"okay but I failed my latest test and I refuse to tell Lucifer- END ME!"
You showed him squish-mellows and now that's all you see on his bed
He lets you dress him up in different trends
His favourites are cottage core and e-boy
"humanity should die"
"I second that"
I'm gen Z and somehow this made me feel old and out of touch

hae interrogationes multae respondeant quia demens .
if you read this entire ask post you deserve a gold star and financial recompensation
Um, Obviously because when youā€™re adopted by a white guy you automatically become white duhhh
this is about this post lmao and yeah youre absolutely right, you have to hand your poc card in when you get adopted by a white guy.
Do you think Cass would listen to Yanni, the YouTube channel epic symphonic rock, or some other stuff? There's some cool mashups but idk if that's up your alley, I kinda feel like I'm pushing it with my weird taste of music by recommending an orchestra cover of metal, but i just love that sort of thing and mashups :P @harvestyourcherriesĀ 
i havenā€™t heard of that? but in my personal (correct) opinion steph listens to classical music, and then both modern and older, and then also stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, but also hardrock and hardcore. i like the idea of cass just liking the most extreme screaming songs full of noise and then also listen to pachelbelā€™s 370th sonata yanno? THANK YOU for the rec tho
speaking of ur cass playlist hc...reminds of the time (yesterday) i found 2 playlists randomly on spotify from the same user. one was abt 3 hours of instrumental/classical "dark" & "nostalgic" music. the other almost 11 hours of nothing but hardcore bass/synth/electronic music. just an incredible tightrope act to put on in public. the synth one was also called like "psalms for synth sluts" which is Also incredible
tbh i LOVE synth SO MUCH like for no reason at all but then also cannot handle a poppy electronic beat lmao. but this seems like the kinda thing iā€™d do but just in one (1) playlist bc i just sort songs by vibe instead of genre? thatā€™s how i end up with britney spears and billy ray cyrus in the same playlist.Ā 
Oh, I want Kate Kane playlist next! It would be amazing if you could do one when you have time and will šŸ™
how rude would it be of me to just say no? like sorry kate but idk you and also you seem way too keen on the us military for an institution that homophobically targeted you? (and also commits war crimes) but letā€™s unpack the fact that the institution that caused the death of your mom and sister and also got you blacklisted for being gay is still one you align with???
'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' --- when i tell you i fucking screamed LOL!!!!!!! i can imagine the cameraman not knowing if he should cut to commercial or keep it on these two weirdos fighting on stage (bruce definitely ruffled dick's hair/noogied him right??Ā 
about this post but yeah lmao. this cameraman just turns to like the audience to get a reaction and itā€™s just multiple moments of CLEAR shock.
you are the only funny person on this hellsite
how egotistical is it for me to say that i get this ask multiple times a month? bc it literally happens so often itā€™s hilarious to me.
Wish there was more john/Bruce content šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜” was so hungry I actually looked at canon media šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜” (Justice League Dark babeeeyyyyyy)
check out batman: damned for some mediocre content but at least itā€™s john/bruce (also very interesting story and stuff, just got very >:( over this weird part where harley quinn tried to r*pe bruce or something? itā€™s not for everyone)
dick grayson but he's nicki minaj
his anaconda donā€™t want none,,, unless......Ā 
Dick Grayson was never a cop, he played Marshall on Paw Patrol
you are SO right. also paw patrol is a fucking good show idc. that shit couldā€™ve been the new steven universe on this hellsite.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1lI0bLI7-/?utm_medium=copy_link
...
why do people keep reposting my CONTENT. if you are not funny yourself donā€™t just grab shit off of tumblr and post it on insta,,, get a life. sidenote: should i start an insta and get all these ppl to take my content down that would be funny as hell.
Might I suggest for a Gotham City Meme: something about the true crime fandom thirsting for the rogues gallery
ok can i just say something slightly controversial?? no? i donā€™t find true crime ppl who are into criminals funny, that shits disturbing irl im not gonna bring that into my very chill universe.
i may have never seen a 'jason cleaning guns in sink' fic but i do know he WOULD
THANK YOU
bestie im sorry to say this to you but while you can, and people do wash their guns in the sink, that is a lot of lead in a very vital part of the kitchen.
people tend to do it in the bathtub.
WHY???? like damn why do you even have guns
i dont think i read many gun sink fics exactly but i have read lots of fics where jason cleanes his guns in the living room. usualy dissembles them and cleans them with a rag i think
lmao fair enough, like i think thatā€™s a large part of what i remember as well.
if you say you've seen/read gun sink fics I believe you. I think those of us who didn't see them are lucky or maybe didn't search for fics by tags or something idk
i mean ive never sought them out but i HAVE seen them,, like definitely i know almost for certain.
saw your tags and I'm interested in Steph/Kara now. They would be the most chaotic couple <3
literally thoooo, i have a wip where they get together in a zombie apocalypse and like UGGGHhhh i am so in love with them.
I am the Breece anon. Thanks for the recommendation; am reading now. Iā€™ve always been a hardcore Superman fan because I love my pure himbo farm boy. My logic is, if one Bruce is a Broose, then multiple Broose are a herd of Breece. And this is a hill upon which I will perish.
fair enough,,,, like moose, meese, goose, geese, bruce, breece. i get your logic and i stand by it as well. (glad you enjoyed the comic recs!!!!)
It's a beautiful day in Gotham, and you are a group of horrible Breece
OH my god dude lmao
there only being 42 fics on ao3 for tim and bernard is honestly so sad i need more
itā€™s like twice that now!!! we did it lads. (tho very sad that my fic isnt number one but like number 4 :((((Ā  )
i'm too late you already did the poll lol but may i suggest bethy (bernard + timothy)
shit dude that wouldve been so fucking funnyyyyy. think ppl have just stuck to timber tho, tim/bernard kinda died down recently and i think itā€™s too bad, theyā€™re a great couple and i love them.
Wait, hear me out
Bernothy @redlightofdawn
great recommendation (lmao this ask is from like a month ago) but very sorry to announce that NARDTH is the superior shipname
Wait, we know that bernard likes milfs (Tim's step-mom) but what about dilfs? gilfs?
Wait no, I regret sending that ask
these were two seperate asks and theyā€™re HILARIOUS. in my personal opinion tho,,, milfs, gilfs, dilfs are just about vibes and bernard is just attracted to sexy ppl who may sometimes be milfs, dilfs, or EVEN gilfs.
crime in bludhaven would drop to half if nightwing had a boob window. in this essay i will-
WHEREā€™S THE ESSAY ANON, WHEREā€™S THE FUCKING ESSAY
Wait if Barbra and Tim r at opposite ends at all times what happened to Barbra once everyoneā€™s Timā€™s ever love before started dying lol
she won a lottery ticket and spent 2 weeks on a resort in the bahamas before returning home and finding out that the joker was arrested for tax evasion and then spent a month staying at her big tiddie goth girlfriendā€™s house before conner came back to life and she broke her pinkie playing table hockey.
Why is the opposite end thing so funny and compelling to me. Tim comes back from his depression quest for Bruce and Babs is now a literal god
lmao when tim loses his spleen barbara reaches nirvana.
Are you still taking music recs because I have three songs that remind me of Jason that I think you'd like
send to me or lose a toe
šŸŒø ā­ put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs. itā€™s time to spread positivity! ā­šŸŒøšŸ˜‹
thanks, i wont tho on account of i wont.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMduBy3Sr/
ā¬†ļø
This is the whole of BlĆ¼dhaven and everyone anywhere.
Nightwings ass alone saves more people in a calendar year and does more for so society than most heroes do their whole career.Also u are one of the funniest tumblr pages out there. The vibes are unmatched and the memes and tags āœØsend meāœØ.Thank u and goodnight @julia-flowĀ 
fanksss also lmao.
That's going to be a little bit difficult to explain, but
There's some music that you listen to and you think, "oh my gosh, I can perfectly imagine Dick Grayson singing this song, with the same voice as the singer because that voice matches with Dick Grayson"?
oh yeah totally lmao. i have a lot of songs that i think are just entirely dick grayson yanno? kind of all of my playlists have that vibe, but i really find bleachers to fit with dick? idk.
"Lois lane/Superman" fics this, "Lois lane/Clark Kent" fics that, (/lh) let's get into the real good stuff. Some people ship Lois, Clark, and Superman as a throuple. Most popular fic tag for sure
yes totally, i think theyā€™d be absolutely killer on ao3 and clark gets so fucking embarassed about it.
I miss your post, hope youā€™re doing okay!!
haha this was like 2 months ago, but i was doing fine then too! just didnā€™t have a lot of inspiration in terms of content.
Doot doot!
noot noot
Iā€™m confused. What did DC do now? Like with nightwing? And another sibling? Please spoil everything for me
lmao they gave him a secret sister plotline where they had his dad cheat on his mom with tony zuccoā€™s wife, bc dickā€™s life wasnā€™t traumatic enough yet.
sorry but it's so funny that batman is called "the dark knight" when the gotham city baseball team is called the gotham knights. it'd be like if a vigilante was running around new york called like "the scary yankee"
lmaooo no. but like yankee comes from dutch names or something so wouldnt it be HILARIOUS if gotham knights came from like german names and bruce would be running around called the dark KLAUS UND NIEK @graysonnightwingĀ 
(not a batcest shipper) itā€™s so funny to me that the responses are ā€œiā€™m a batcest shipper because i can differentiate fiction from reality and and it doesnā€™t bother me personally, but i understand why you oils think itā€™s weirdā€ to ā€œi wish all batcest shippers a very fucking dieā€
yeah lmaoo. i personally basically flipped my entire stance around toĀ ā€˜i dont care please leave me and everybody else aloneā€™ bc i think thereā€™s really no point in starting a moral dillema over some fucking fandom bullshit. Please just,,, go home,,, log off, find a nice forest to have a little walk in and remember that somewhere in history, somebody probably died in the place youā€™re standing. and you will also die someday, and somebody will have to look at your internet usage and see you fighting multiple people anonymously while being namedĀ ā€˜nightwingsbuttchin200186ā€² like... calm down, weā€™re all gonna die this is not the thing to worry about.
so since like "wards" don't really exist in modern society almost all the batkids are foster kids, right? i used to work in the system and imagine: monthly visits from social workers and guardian ad litems, bruce having to get permission to take the boys anywhere out of state, calling their social worker at like 8 a.m. like "yeah dick broke his arm again... a gymnastics accident this time...." their poor social worker. bruce send her a huge bouquet and box of chocolates every month to stay on her good side
i imagine the social worker just getting into the case likeĀ ā€˜yeah letā€™s get this kid a good guardianā€™ and then ending up having to work with 22 y/o bruce wayne and his 50 y/o dad. and so this social worker is likeĀ ā€˜okay we can work with this, this is the best home i can findā€™ and then like it ends up landing on its feet and then the kid gets adopted and then they get a call a year later likeĀ ā€˜uhm so hi, this kid tried to steal my tyres can i adopt him?ā€™ and like 3 years later.Ā ā€˜okay so basically, my neighboursā€™ kid imprinted on me and now theyā€™re dead, can i keep him?ā€™ two years later itā€™s likeĀ ā€˜okay so this assassin child-ā€™
ever since I saw that one post of yours, the meme that's something like "I know that abba's backup dancer got me" with a picture of discowing, I've been haunted. Every once in a while I'll be minding my own business then the image of abba's backup dancer dick grayson aka nightwing aka discowing will flash in my mind and I'll be frozen in place. Today at work I was in the middle of folding clothes and suddenly once again discowing entered my mind and I suddenly lost the ability to see anything except He. Thank you.
wow. the IMPACT.
Braver than any US marine man props to youšŸ¤
this shit is about the time i wrote an article on batcest, like man,,, the fact that i didnā€™t get cancelled is MIRACULOUS. also like,,, uh if anybody on here did gossip on me,, send screenshots iā€™d love to see it.
Hello, just wanted to say your article was great. Thank you for taking the time to provide an unbaised answer. It should provide people with nuances they couldn't possibly conjure on their own.
May I ask where your username originates from?
yes you may (also thanks!!!) i thought it up when i was trying to find an original username bc i didnt want to be called likeĀ ā€˜timdrakes something somethingā€™ orĀ ā€˜jason todd something smoethingā€™ orĀ ā€˜dick grayson something somethingā€™ yanno? so i thought batarangs, they sound so dumb and thatā€™s my username story... now itā€™s my whole entire brand lmao.
yno that bit in kick ass where red mist asks kick ass if he wants a hit of his blunt, was that the inspo for stoner tim
no? itā€™s bc i think stoners are hilarious and drugs are great. (dont do drugs tho)Ā 
How would u feel if someone actually wore one of those bruce or ollie pride shirts u edited
fenomenal next question.
Dick as lil huddy and Jason as James gave me radiation poisoning and now Iā€™m screaming crying throwing up so thx for that
(Rico suave as Tim is perfect tho literally no changes needed)
i was so funny for that shit wasnā€™t i??? lmao i loved those weird ass fancasts
You're doing the Lord's work by providing us with all these Gotham/Metropolis citizens memes, thank you for being so relentlessly funny @nellethiel-aranel
youā€™re welcome!! i really enjoy making memes, but getting validation for my content and my memes is REALLY nice.
Bruce is such a slut in your memes and honestly i love that for him @rhodey-rhudert-rhodes-mainĀ 
heā€™s that much of a slut irl too dw.
Bruce and Alfred have an emergency pride flag for the batkids. Oliver Queen printed an emergency "I love my gay son" t-shirt and as soon as Roy told him he was dating Jason, Oliver started wearing that shirt everyday and Roy always cringes when he sees it. Oliver also has an emergency "I love my lesbian daughter" shirt just in case for Cissie.
lmao YES i had a post like this bc like all of their kids/family members are so gayy
stop bringing back batfam fancasts it is not real it is not real it is not- šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€
oh yes it is my darling.
did discowing burn down the notredam because he hates the bees? @allulily
no he did it bc fuck the french.
im gonna beg for 1 thing and 1 thing only. please please please put physical by olivia newton john on dick's playlist
okay then beg. bc i wont. physical reminds me too much of glee and that hurts me mentally.
your playlist is sorely missing some Madonna. Specifically Into the Groove, Like a Prayer, and Vogue
iā€™m scared of madonna thatā€™s why sheā€™s not on there. she haunts me in my dreams.
suggestion: son of batman by aaron dews for dickā€™s playlistšŸ¤©
sorry, i listened to it and the vibe didnā€™t agree with me.
Hear me out, metropolis citizens sending rare pair fics of Clark Kent x Superman fics to Lois to edit

Imagine all the smut Clark must of read editing the fics
clark reads smut confirmeeed
NOT LOIS READING SUPERBAT PORN AND EDITING IT A 2AMĀ 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hc that alfred is a meta that boosts healing factor of the people around him. if the bats are injured as much as they seem to be they would be doing bat stuff MAYBE half the year. no one including alfred knows about this. whenever the kids move out they inexplicably dont recover from injuries as fast and feel better whenever they visit the manor they just chalk it up to homesickness. bruce just thinks he heals really fast. alfred thinks everyone doesnt take care of themselves properly @finchcollector
thatā€™s actually such a great idea, but i think that alfred would find out and learn how to concentrate it better so he can help more people, bc heā€™s great and i love him.
One of your dickfast posts reminded me of that tweet that goes: 'so you've had sex how many times? Yeah technically that's not a bromance' lol that's dickwally or dickroy
literally tho. like thatā€™s all of dickā€™s friendships. once it gets past a certain time dick is likeĀ ā€˜wow i wonder what it would be like to make out with wally, wally come make out with meā€™ and wallyā€™s likeĀ ā€˜weā€™ve done this like 40 times, dick, you know what itā€™s likeā€™ and dick is likeĀ ā€˜sorry are you complaining?ā€™ and they just make out.
superfam and batfam associations??
-batman and superman
-dick/barabara and supergirl?
-conner and tim
-jon and damian
pls enlighten me I am confused
nope,,, uhm batman and superman, but dick and superman as well, and then conner and tim, jon and damian and steph + babs with supergirl
I came across a fic in which Wonder Woman calls Batman "Stella" (like Stellaluna, the children's book) and I can imagine the batkids hop on the trend and maybe copies of the book appear at random places (aka, everywhere Bruce frequents)
sorry canā€™t reciprocate that was the name of my high school chemistry teacher and it gives me nightmares to think about.
good human what are your pronouns?
wouldnā€™t you like to know?
I need me some gothamites preferring harley over joker memes
everyone prefers harley over joker youre just very fucked up if you dont
don't understand why people try to add like veteran policy to the batfamily
dick pulling out his veteran batfam member card so he can eat first: step aside, peasants
Do you know the song Simmer by Haley Williams? It (the first verse anyways) reminds me of Jason? It's about rage.
damn yeah i LOVE HAYLEY!!!! youre right thoo
Okay so I like listen to your stoner Tim Drake playlist 24/7 but would he listen to skegss? Also I keep adding songs mentally itā€™s killing me šŸ˜©āœ‹šŸ¼ Anyways,, I literally love and worship your playlist šŸ˜ƒšŸ¤žšŸ¼ And uh yeah have a good day āœØ
stoner tim drake playlist is lyfeeee. also dont know who skeggs is? iā€™m stupid? have a good day!!
All the Robins (and Batgirl) decide to trade costumes for one night just to fuck with Batman and all the villains in Gotham. @subspacecadetĀ 
batman knows itā€™s them youknow but like,,, what does he call them? heā€™s likeĀ ā€˜red hood?ā€™ and 3 people answer and heā€™s not about to compromise some identities so heā€™s just Pissed.
I aspire to treat cops the way my dad treats them. This man is a 45 year old Asian immigrant to the US and the treats them like his pets. He talks about them like unruly children. Sometimes he pays off local cops to shut up and stop acting racist. And usually it works. I donā€™t know why but I can see Oliver Queen doing this
vibes... and also yes? oliver queen handing a local cop a donut to shut the fuck up lmao. but yanno i commit enough crimes to not really want to ever see a cop ever, so they kinda scare the everloving fuck out of me.
seeing as tim hasn't aged in years, that means he was 17 at peak emo tumblr era. im back on my emo tim bullshit and im not letting it go
emo tim had a wattpad account send tweet
People seem to think that batman is so dark and serious when the rainbow batsuit is right there. He wore it with no shame.
dude the 60s were a DIFFERENT TIME
dick grew up in a circus, jason grew up on the streets, and tim was probably raised by the internet
all of them cuss every other word and you cannot tell me otherwise
bitch i KNOW but dc has to change to an 18+ rating if they want to sell comix with swear words in them so we gotta deal with imagining the swear words in ourselves
thoughts on teen titans and young justice
havenā€™t seen teen titans on account of havent seen it and young justice was LITERALLY my favourite thing ever, tho i do gotta admit itā€™s not at all similar to the young justice comics unfortunately. i really wouldve liked to see timmy bart kon cassie and cissie animated on tv!!
ew ew ew how to delete batcest shippers I genuinely digust them
log off tumblr?
Okay as poc who was called racist for calling an Italian pastabrain: in the batfam are Italians bit Damian just yells various insults about the others being Italian. Just him yelling ā€œWhat are you doing you moronic spaghettihead!ā€ At steph etc
huh? i meant realĀ italians. homeboy is telling steph he hopes she chokes on her fucking garlic.
I think it's dumb as hell to pull the batman is the best fighter in the batfam argument because like it's just irresponsible of Bruce to let his kids fight when they couldn't possibly be on his league or something
fair enough, but also like who cares they could all kill you just sit down and take a beating.
lady shiva, thalia al ghul and Selina Kyle are all milfs @notanothertimburtonenthusiastughĀ 
unfortunately, i have to admit,,, youā€™re right
why tf didn't someone give joker a death sentence already? like he's a mass murderer...give him the electric chair treatment wtf
idk i think plenty of people would have tried to murder him already (boring answer is: he is a popular character so they canā€™t kill him off bc he brings in lots of money)
Thereā€™s no such thing as ā€œ copagandaā€.
all american media is propaganda. happy to clear this up for you
is it bad that I find lady shiva owa owa
no. find her as owa owa as you want.
aight I'm guessing the order of your favs in batfam:
1. tim
2. Steph
3. dick
4. Duke
5. the rest
youā€™re wrong but itā€™s cute that you tried, i generally donā€™t have favourites, but i have a special place in my heart for steph, tim, dick and cass. bc they were like my introduction to batfam. but damian, jason, duke, bruce, babs and alfred are NOT FORGOTTEN OR UNLOVED
oh my god i was literally just readily willing to believe that italians werent white ty for clarifying it was a joke im so dumb sdkvjskdfs
i mean some italians arenā€™t white? italian is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, so likeĀ ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ
since I saw so many people doing headcanons about the nationalities of batboys, I see Dick as an Italian.
dont know if youre serious or not, but sure.
super random but
jason šŸ¤ damian
old english
lmao fair enough.
tim absolutely has 1 gay uncle and his parents shit talk said uncle all the time so after bruce adopts him he specifically reaches out to this uncle to be like "heyyyy just so you know you majorly influenced my life yes i know i havent seen you since i was 5 and at the family reunion yes i know you dont remember my name idc thank you im gay too" and then they never talk again.
yuppp lmao thatā€™s definitely something that could happen. i can also consider tim having no family members, like none. until he does like a dna test and he realises he has like an aunt living barely 2 miles away from him whoā€™s like some illegitimate child of his grandpa.
I dare you one of them sends clark superman/clark fic and clark corrects the shit out of it and then goes like ps his dick is not that big, just telling as someone who has seen it. internet either explodes or goes who tf did he not fuck at this point.
i think everybody would call clark a buzzkill and try to cancel him over that.
so you're telling me Tim Drake wouldn't buy Starbucks?
no. dunkin donuts all the way
One of my favorite things is imagining people finding out jason came back from the dead and being like "oh no does he have magic powers now?!?!?" and he just pulls out a gun and tries to shoot joker
now he doesnā€™t even have the gun :) lmao
my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context
bruce gets codenameĀ ā€˜ughā€™ everytime. he hates it.
crazy that tim being a 17 y/o ceo and a stoner who does brand deals are all actual canon things written in detective comics comics and not made up for shits and giggles by you, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb @rowdeyclown
SO CRAZY HUH?
batman au where everything is the same but his utility belt is bright pink
absolutely, but i raise you, his boots light up like sketchers when he kicks people.
unbeknownst to the superhero fandom writers in the dcuniverse, clark and BRUCE are one of the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag on ao3. clark writes the best lois x superman angst, full of unhappy endings and scenes that are a so detailed you'd think you were in the middle of a superhero beatdown. bruce made an ao3 account to fuel "the do the butts match" thing, and makes batman/bruce fics from time to time. he wrote a superbat fic as a joke but ended up making it REAL porny. @concrastinator
dude theyā€™re WAY too busy for that. Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan on the other hand are the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag writing what is Mostly porn.
When the dining table topic gets to politics, Steph says "eat the rich" as the solution
bruce just silently takes away her fork and knife while sheā€™s talking.

Top 5 ippo fights?
hehe, the last time i received this ask was 3 years ago :') and i answered it, but now i am a different person, old, crusty and deranged. It's also very lovely timing to ask that, because for the last YEAR me and my best friend in the whole world Nihinski are re-reading Ippo manga 3 chapters per day, and talking mad smack and memes all about it (hence my shitpost tag #ippo reread club) and I can reexperience it all with new perspective, and find underrated gems I never truly appreciated. and of course, vice versa
originally my fav 5 fights are Chaos, Lallapalooza, world champion Volg, Sendo vs Shigeta and Ippo vs Date. none of them are overrated really, I guess Chaos is, but it is also
pĢøĶ—ĢĢ‘ĶĢŖĢ—ĢŖĶĶ“eĢ“ĢšĢĢžĢŖaĢµĶ„Ķ™Ģ—kĢµĶ‘Ģ’Ģ†Ģ€Ķ„Ģ”Ģ„Ģ¤Ģ¢Ģ«Ģ±ĢĢ¤ Ģ“Ģ’Ģ›ĶŠĢ‹Ķ™ĢŗĢ²Ģ¹aĢ·Ģ•Ģ¾Ģ‘Ķ„Ķ‹Ģ¾Ķ†Ģ¢Ģ«eĢøĢƒĢ¾ĢˆĶƒĢ‘ĢĶƒĶ˜ĢŸĶŽsĢøĢ”ĶĶ”Ķ‡Ģ±Ģ”Ķ…Ģ¤Ķ‰Ķ•tĢ·ĢæĶĢ…ĢĢ”Ķ‡Ķ‰ĢŸĶ•Ģ¼Ķ”Ģ˜hĢ“ļæ½ļæ½ĶˆeĢ“ĢƒĢƒĶ‰Ģ”Ģ©Ķ‡Ķ‡Ģ°Ģ³tĢµĢ”Ķ‘ĢĢ¼Ķ–Ģ³Ģ£Ģ®iĢ¶Ķ„ĢŽĶƒĶ…Ģ­Ķ–cĢ¶ĢŽĢ…ĶĢĢŠĶ‡Ģ ĢœĶœĶœ Ģ“Ķ—ĶŠĢŒĢĶĢ‘Ģ“Ģ•ĢœeĢ¶Ķ‘ĢĢ”Ķ›ĶĶ„Ģ™Ķ‰Ģ—ĢždĢøĢ‹Ķ€Ķ„Ģ”Ģ‰ĢĢ…Ķ€ĢŸgĢ¶ĶŠĢ‰Ģ€Ģ„Ģ‰Ģ eĢ¶ĢˆĢ¤Ģ³Ķ“Ģ»lĢµĶ‘Ķ Ģ•Ķ†Ģ€ĢæĢ¹Ģ¬Ķ“Ķ‡ĶoĢ·ĢŒĢ“Ģ›Ģ…ĢŠĶ„Ģ†ĶŽĢ™ĢœrĢµĶĶ„Ķ˜Ģ’Ģ•Ķ†ĶŒĶĢ¼Ģ°Ģ²Ģ®dĢ“ĶŠĢ‰ĶĢŸĶ™Ģ¢Ģ®Ģ—Ģ­ ĢµĶƒĢæĢĢ„ĢˆĶ Ģ°Ģ»Ģ²ĶˆĢ—Ķ“Ģ¢Ķ–pĢ¶Ķ›Ķ›ĢˆĶƒĶ‚ĢˆĢ†Ģ“Ģ¢Ģ³Ķ”Ķ‡Ģ³Ģ eĢ·Ģ½Ķ‹Ķ—Ķ”rĢ“ĶĢæĢ›Ģ‘Ģ…Ķ ĢŽĢ§Ģ°ĢžfĢ¶ĢšĢ…Ģ‹ĢŗĶšoĢ¶ĢŽĶ Ķ‡rĢøĶŠĶ Ķ™ĢmĢ¶Ķ‚ĶĶŠĢšĢ„Ģ„Ģ”Ģ®ĢŖĢĢ¢Ģ³Ģ¤aĢ·ĢĶŽĶ‡Ģ®Ģ«Ģ—nĢ¶Ķ‚Ķ„ĶĢ¾ĶŽĢ¹ĢŸĢ¼cĢ“ĶƒĶ‹Ģ½Ķ‚Ķ“Ģ˜Ģ¼Ķ‰ĶˆeĢøĢ‚ĢŒĶ…ĢØĢ¼Ģ°Ķ…Ģ©ĢÆ.
Volg's fight is SO SO GOOD, it literally is character journey cathartic completion fight, this is the dramatic Ippo fight of surviving against all odds done RIGHT
Tumblr media
never 4get
so now i will do top 5 severely underrated AMAZING fights i never fully appreciated before
1. Aoki vs Imae aka absolute himbo showdown of two absolutely best boys, gave comedy, gave heart, gave life lessons, gave EVERYTHING literally the best fucking fight in the whole entire series
2. Ippo vs sigma male Alf motherfucking Ganjalez - i was dreading to reread this because i though it's gonna last 2 months but it was a) way way way shorter than expected b) the mood was fantastic, it was a proper wild ride to a foreshadowed great disasterina c) alf literally broke down my door came into my house and snatched my wig clean off and now i simp for his sigma ass
3. Itagaki vs Imai take 1 and take 2 - quick and dynamic, two actually unexpected and unusual outcomes, fantastic goofy drama and rival storyline between these two. RIDICULOUSLY UNDERRATED BY BOTH READERS AND THE AUTHOR. oh my god ..... the mistreatment these two receive, i cannot deal with it
4. Ippo vs Take Keiichi - ok listen the way when i was rereading i was like 'who the fuck is take keiichi' and then it shockingly turned out one of the most interesting and sad quick fights in ippo, where the roles of 'who is the real underdog' are completely flipped and all you see is a crafty old man desperately trying to find all tricks in his sleeve, to do something against most talented boy made of pure muscle with monster penis who hits like five trucks
5. Takamura vs Bryan Hawk - probably not underrated by most but I never really favored this one, when genuinely.. it is Takamura's best fight imo, the bloody mad showdown between two WWE heels *nicki minaj aggressively blasts in the background*

If you think itā€™s not a deliberate, savvy manipulation of the online culture, think again: As Brian Feldman reported for New York in 2019 as ā€œOld Town Roadā€ climbed the charts, for years as a teenager Nas operated a popular Twitter account that reposted and repurposed viral content, as well as advocating on the behalf of his favorite rapper and pop star, Nicki Minaj. Nas isnā€™t just a ā€œdigital native,ā€ heā€™s a social media native, and clearly understands on a deep level the cultural and algorithmic incentives that drive things to virality. He understands all too well that in 2021, there may be no quicker way to pump oxygen into a brand than to let partisan politics do it for you.
Unlike controversies of previous decades, when clear lines between ā€œusā€ and ā€œthemā€ made it easy for cultural conservatives to denounce hip-hop artists, itā€™s possible that much of the offense taken by the right at Nasā€™ provocation comes from a sense of betrayal. His debut hit was a viral goof on a cowboy anthem which reasserted ownership of the hip-hop beats white ā€œbro-countryā€ artists have been appropriating now for more than a decade. He won a Country Music Association award, rare for a black artist, much less an openly gay one. He scored a collaboration with Wrangler, a brand whose previously most prominent celebrity partnership was with the anti-charismatic uber-square quarterback Drew Brees. In the thick of the Trump era, Nas was a young, brash rapper embraced by red state fans.
And then he burned them. Or, at least, he had the gall to tweak their religious sensibilities. That, too, speaks to the shifting tectonic plates of American pop culture. When Nas was born in 1999, roughly 70 percent of American adults reported belonging to a church, according to Gallup. Today, that number is 47 percent. Marilyn Mansonā€™s sacrilege was an affront to the mainstream; it puts Lil Nas X squarely in the majority. In that sense, the heated reaction from the right is just a confirmation of Trumpā€™s instinct about religion in America: Though seemingly uninterested in religion himself, he recognized that millions of evangelical Christians could be recruited to the culture wars as a minority that feels increasingly embattled.
Just as a series of impotent ā€œGo woke, go brokeā€ boycott attempts have repeatedly failed to dissuade corporations from taking liberal political stances, there is no meaningful pressure threatening Nasā€™ various corporate partnerships. After four years of the Trump presidency, itā€™s easy to understand Nasā€™ provocation as a turning of the tables ā€” making the confrontational demand for conservatives to ā€œstay madā€ amid the initial uproar over ā€œMontero,ā€ and sit with the fact that many, probably most, Americans are perfectly unbothered by a campy satanic lap dance.
At the same time, that very fact gives the whole episode a bit of a spiking-the-football quality. Nas, his fans and his critical allies have already won the culture wars, at least nationally. Some liberal responses to the controversy seemed willfully obtuse in ignoring the extent to which many Christians consider Satan a literal and active force for evil, with a lack of charity that likely wouldnā€™t be expressed toward any other faith. The personally cathartic qualities of the song and video, as laid out in a moving note from Nas that accompanied their release, are undeniable, but their corporate-approved glitz and lack of any real transgression render them inert to anyone but either those who share his catharsis or the most easily offended.

3 and 13 for the 3 songs meme!
3. three songs you were recently obsessed with
Been loopingĀ ā€œMontero (Call Me By Your Name)ā€ by Lil Nas X,Ā ā€œLips of An Angelā€ by Hinder and the ā€œnicki minaj goes faceshoppingā€ mashup by FAME IV on Youtube lately.Ā ā€œMonteroā€ because a) it bangs and b) I can totally imagine Ryan doing a cover of it at a show after him and Min-Gi make their relationship public. (ā€Now who wants to hear my favorite stripper song?ā€ and the crowd roars.)Ā Ā ā€œLips of an Angelā€ because it is the fucking Requiem Stand of hunger dunger dang music and my friend Jake and I love to clown on it. mfw when my girlā€™s in the next room sometimes I wish she was you. You just had to be on that phone call.Ā 
ā€œnicki minaj goes faceshoppingā€ because of that animation I showed you (flashing lights warning!) and because it makes a discordant literally laptop-melting black dresses style amv flash over my eyes.Ā 
13. three songs you want at your funeral
An immediate answer isĀ ā€œTreasure Hugsā€ by Stepdad. It would honestly take me a while to dissect why this is one of the greatest songs ever made and even then it wonā€™t encapsulate how I felt standing in the middle of a thunderstorm naked just blaring this shit. You either get it or you donā€™t. I donā€™t really know how to answer this question unironically aside fromĀ ā€œTreasure Hugsā€ because itā€™s not something Iā€™ve given a lot of thought to and nothing is coming to mind thatā€™s more life-affirming than TH.Ā 
IRONIC ANSWERS THOUGH? PolitikZā€™sĀ ā€œREAL HIP HOPā€ and the YYY theme. I mean obviously. Also let TomTord Roommate rap a little bit about white genocide.Ā 
[ theĀ ā€œthree songs askā€ set for anyone who doesnā€™t feel like scrolling lol ]Ā

I already posted on main about it and Iā€™ve got nowhere else to really vent. I know my co-receptionist is active on twitter and I donā€™t know if sheā€™s ever tried to look for me (probably not), but I donā€™t want to risk complaining where she could possibly see.
itā€™s just been a long, shitty week. and itā€™s only tuesday. we had two euthanasias yesterday and two today. usually we get one TOPS in a week. most weeks we donā€™t have any.Ā 
I donā€™t know how many weeks weā€™ve been doing this now, but itā€™s definitely been over a month. Iā€™ve worked with the lead receptionist a bunch since I started. sheā€™s nice, but sheā€™s very much got her own personality. sheā€™s from new jersey, and thatā€™s the explanation for a lot of her attitude, she says. I respect her and how well she knows herself and her boundaries. but I really feel like she could be a little nicer. I get that sheā€™s worked in healthcare for a long time and sheā€™s seen some shit but she acts like she knows everything and sometimes itā€™s just really insensitive.
I donā€™t think she means to sound rude, but there have been times when Iā€™ve been talking about something and sheā€™s only half-listening, usually because sheā€™s working on something, and sheā€™ll finish what she was doing and goĀ ā€œnow what are you babbling about?ā€ she did it to one of the techs the other day too. I know she just means to askĀ ā€œwhat were you saying?ā€ but it really makes me feel like whatever Iā€™m saying is just nonsense to her, like Iā€™m running at the mouth and whatever it is isnā€™t important.Ā 
we listen to what she wants to listen to. for 12 straight hours, 3 days a week, every week. according to her my music taste is respectable, butĀ ā€œa lot of sad-sackeryā€, so we listen to her music. we have limited overlap, but I donā€™t say anything. not because I donā€™t want to start an argument, Iā€™m pretty much cool with whatever. but Iā€™ve noticed that when we listen to what she likes, itā€™s often just a small handful of things she likes. I KNOW DMX has way more songs than just the same few. same with nicki minaj and beyonce. weā€™ve listened to some rage against the machine, which I can appreciate, but there are definitelyĀ way more songs than just killing in the name, bombtrack, take the power back, and know your enemy. Iā€™ve listened to musical soundtracks. we did les mis and chicago and maybe a few others last week. Iā€™ve sat there and watched videos I didnā€™t care to watch, because sheā€™s really enthused about black opera singers and bruce springsteen and whomever the fuck else, because I like to think Iā€™m a nice person and when someone is excited about something and wants to share it I let them be fucking excited about it, even if I donā€™t give half a flying fuck about it. today was a disney day, apparently, so I listened to soundtracks for mary poppins, the little mermaid, and beauty and the beast. sound of music too. whatever other eclectic songs tickle her fancy on any given day. but Iā€™ve noticed it seems to just be the things she likes. Iā€™ve come to work on disney days before but I donā€™t recall hearing soundtracks to more than just a few movies. I tried to get her to listen to a little hozier once or twice; since sheā€™s a singer we often end up talking about vocal talent. and I was trying to show her what a great vocalist he is. she listened to maybe a few seconds of a song or two and, nah, not her taste. she gets why someone like me would like his voice, though. today she was laughing about something one of the techs had said; we have a whiteboard in the back hallway and every week or so someone (her, maybe?) puts up a prompt and people can write their responses. ya know, team bonding, sorta. this week sheā€™d put upĀ ā€œwhat two famous people would you like to have dinner with?ā€ and one of the techs had written ā€œleo dicaprio and billie eilishā€. and she was laughing about it. sheā€™s not a fan of billieā€™s popular stuff. I told her about how I didnā€™t think Iā€™d much like billie at first, but I listened to her whole album and I was surprised, I thought she had a really nice voice. just.. nope. I asked if I could play one song. just one. nope, nope, nope. sheā€™d listened to half a second of each song on her album and decided she didnā€™t like any of them. I didnā€™t press.
yesterday she really just... ugh. the head vet had come up to the front desk to tell us that a really sweet client offered to buy us lunch, and did we have any ideas on what weā€™d like? they were thinking panera. I wasnā€™t sure if there was anything there Iā€™d eat, but Iā€™d take a look at the menu. my coworker had piped up withĀ ā€œsheā€™s like superĀ pickyā€ and then ensued theĀ ā€œso what doĀ you eat?ā€ conversation. I didnā€™t really have much to say, since Iā€™m tired of that fucking question and I donā€™t have such a small palate that I can just list off everything. she interrupted withĀ ā€œmac and cheese, I know that.ā€ I forget what else she said, but I tried to explain that it was a sensory issue and thereā€™s actually a disorder that involves a sensory rejection of food that lasts well into adulthood, and she was just sitting there next to me trying to hold back laughs. I asked her what was funny, she goesĀ ā€œit just sounds like picky eating, like it sounds so ridiculousā€.Ā 
yeah, because I love being 25 and not being able to go to more than a tiny handful of restaurants with friends because those few places have one thing on the menu Iā€™ll eat. I fucking love being too deeply embarrassed to special-order anything plain that Iā€™d rather not eat at all. I love theĀ ā€œso what DO you eatā€ question, I love being laughed at and made fun of, I love feeling like a child who could neverĀ ā€œgrow out of itā€. I really fucking love it, thatā€™s why I continue to do this to myself. fuckā€™s sake.
this is the person who takes euthanasias so seriously that sheā€™ll fuck anyoneā€™s day up if they interrupt her while sheā€™s getting paperwork together or if theyā€™re being loud while the owner is in the room. she told me about her home health care work and how she dealt with a lot of people who were in hospice and she was real sympathetic to just about anything, because they were dying. I know Iā€™m not dying, this doesnā€™t involve death, but the complete lack of empathy towards me just... really hurts. here I am trying to explain myself the way I always feel the need to, because I apparently have to have a fucking reason why Iā€™m so picky, and she wonā€™t hear any of it. she was fucking laughing at me.Ā 
I donā€™t feel disliked at my job, but Iā€™m getting that feeling like I did in high school and college. like Iā€™m both a part of something and not. I know Iā€™m weird and a little awkward, but... she talks to people on the other team and they leave memes for each other. thereā€™s a new girl on the other team who only started a month or two ago, but my co-receptionist is leaving memes for her specifically; the new girl even called today and she picked up, and they were having a riot of a conversation from what I could hear; a lot of genuine laughter, and I could hear the way she was talking, it sounded just so natural. a lot of the time with me she doesnā€™t quite sound like that. sheā€™s got a pretty dirty sense of humor, and she was leaving some pretty gross memes for the new girl, meanwhile there was a video sheā€™d shown the new doctor and the head vet that she didnā€™t want to show me because sheĀ ā€œwasnā€™t sure if we were there yetā€. sheā€™d already described it to me, and she finally showed it to me today; it was just some nerdy guy singing about pussy in an 80s R&B voice. nothing I couldnā€™t have found somewhere on the internet myself. hell, itā€™s probably already floating around tumblr somewhere. idk, I donā€™t feel disliked but I am starting to feel left out. like, even the new people are more integrated than I am, and Iā€™ve been there 8 months. I donā€™t know why this happens to me literally everywhere I go. every job, every school (except IUP somehow??), fucking everything. I just never feel like a true part of anything and I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing wrong. Iā€™m not unfriendly. I donā€™t think Iā€™m unapproachable. maybe I really just am that boring.
Iā€™m just really tired of this. when she was out sick that one day last week, and I had to handle 13 straight hours of reception basically by myself, with some help from the office manager, I actually felt less tired than when she was there. I feel like I have to put on a face for her, like I have to pretend to be interested in whatever sheā€™s going on about all day. I canā€™t say anything to her because sheā€™s the lead receptionist, but itā€™s been getting on my nerves lately that I try to actually do work and sheā€™s sitting there looking at memes, telling me she has to find this particular one of jason momoa so she can print it out have it at her desk because heā€™s just so attractive
I didnā€™t get a break yesterday, because our doctors were lagging so far behind and I had to keep the phones on. she left to go do something, and I was left to answer phones by myself. I almost didnā€™t get a break today either; there were still one or two clients left by 1pm and I couldnā€™t turn the phones over to the break message, and she had a thing to do with her car so sheā€™d be back. I forget how I ended up mentioning that I didnā€™t get a break yesterday either and she was likeĀ ā€œwell thatā€™s me the other times the doctors are behind. itā€™s your turnā€. and while that is fair... one of the techs came up to talk to her after sheā€™d left. she looked at me and was like,Ā ā€œwhereā€™s trish?ā€ and I was likeĀ ā€œ... on breakā€. and she looked at me and I looked at her and she was likeĀ ā€œ...sheā€™s been taking more breaks than any of usā€. and I was likeĀ ā€œyyyyep.ā€ she goes out a few times during the day to have a cigarette too. usually when itā€™s quiet, but of course in the space of 10 minutes thereā€™s a lot that can happen. often it does. thankfully today we had those last few clients out by 1:30 so I did get to clock out, and she let me stay off the clock until 2:30. but if the doctors were as behind today as they were yesterday, Iā€™d have had no break today either.
we pretty much only ever talk about what she wants to talk about. sheā€™s constantly interrupting me or talking over me, so I just let her talk. Iā€™ve heard more about her wild sex life back in her 20s than Iā€™d ever care to know. today she told a story three timesĀ (once to me, once to the head vet, and once to one of the techs) about how she can accurately guess a manā€™s dick size by the way he walks, and how she did this to some guy she dated in her early 20s and he was surprised by it. I donā€™t want to make things tense or awkward by saying I donā€™t want to talk about these things and Iā€™d personally rather listen to music that keeps me calm and just quietly scan, fax, label, and attach things in between the periodic phone calls, but I can hardly get a word in edgewise anyway, so itā€™s mostly just me listening. sheā€™s let me know in no uncertain terms that she doesnā€™t like rats and doesnā€™t think theyā€™re cute; doesnā€™t want to see pictures of them, just.. nothing. I personally think that you canā€™t claim to love animals if you only love the ones you think are cute. but I donā€™t even know if she does. I couldnā€™t tell you why sheā€™s working at a vet clinic.Ā 
itā€™s fucking exhausting. itā€™d be exhausting with alexa too, I know that for a fact. Iā€™m getting better at my job but I still need a supervising receptionist, so either way Iā€™d have to deal with one of the two. Iā€™m just glad itā€™s only 3 days a week, but even my 4 day weekends are flying by. the days are all blending together and Iā€™m having a hard time getting my brain to work. none of this is easy. but it definitely doesnā€™t help to have to work with someone whoā€™s so rigid about everything they do; like, I spend all fucking day listening to what you have to say and listening to every single song you want to listen to and watching every stupid video you think is funny (though some of them are; other times itā€™s like.. something reminded her of a veggie tales episode so now we have to watch it), and I canā€™t even play one song I like because youā€™ve listened to a split second of it and automatically think you donā€™t like it? the fuck, dude.
just.. the way she acts like she knows everything about the way people act, and how little tolerance she has for bullshit. I appreciate that second bit, but thereā€™s other times when she really just has no sympathy and I feel like everything would be easier if she did. yesterday our one doctor was lagging really far behind and she was getting so annoyed because he had all this time for his appointments and people were having to wait and he never caught up all day; one of the clients ended up being one who was VERY particular about estimates and payments and shit and apparently heā€™d fucked something up after she had told him and the tech well ahead of time to be very careful with her. and sheā€™d about had enough of him after that. by the end of the day he looked like he was either about to cry or had been crying. and he apologized to her for fucking up; I forget exactly what he said and she accepted his apology, but it almost seemed superficial. she had had it. the second she was done with her shit for the night she left. I stayed a few extra minutes to do something, but... like, even I could tell there was more to the story there. you donā€™t just lag all day for no reason, and especially not when you have to start the day on a euthanasia that wasnā€™t expected. I get that when youā€™ve worked with people for so many years you end up with a low tolerance for bullshit, but come on. Iā€™ve been dealing with shitty people my whole life but I at least understand what itā€™s like to have a bad day. this particular doctor, a lottttt of the staff has a problem with, for many reasons. heā€™s only ever been nice to me, and I donā€™t know a lot of what goes on that annoys reception and the techs so much (often itā€™s some of his medical decisions, which... I wouldnā€™t know anything about that. how am I supposed to know what his rationale was for prescribing meloxidyl for a rhodesian ridgeback? the owner asked me for a refill and I requested it). so I guess some peopleā€™s patience runs low with him. but even so, I donā€™t think I could ever lack empathy that much. no matter how long I do this shit. I was tempted to ask him if he was okay, but I figured he had a lot on his plate to get to. he was there til like 10 last night, and his worklist was really long today too. I could tell heā€™s been on edge since last week. itā€™s not my business to know why, and I donā€™t have to. just be fucking nice to people, lmao
for someone whoā€™s so picky about her music taste, sheā€™s got no fucking right to talk about my eating. she wonā€™t even venture outside the things she likes. she decides once that she doesnā€™t like something and thatā€™s the end of it. so why is it suddenly a problem when I donā€™t want to try a variety of foods?
Iā€™m just. really frustrated. I donā€™t want to have to vent about my coworkers but Iā€™m not going to get through this easily. we donā€™t even know how long weā€™re going to have to do this. I found out today alexaā€™s husband is now in the hospital; theyā€™re treating it like COVID and/or really bad pneumonia, but what the fuck does that mean for her team? for mine? did she bring germs to the clinic? is she going to have to quarantine along with her team? is my team going to have to run shit? I have no idea, and I only found out about this through facebook. I havenā€™t heard anything else from anyone. we do sanitize between teams so thereā€™s a low risk of cross-contamination, but... we donā€™t get everything. thereā€™s no way to.
I need to go to bed soon. Iā€™m so glad tomorrowā€™s my friday. Iā€™m ready for this week to be over.

Tumblr media
Fashion Week developed into fight club on Sept. 7 when Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into a now-infamous heated run-in at the Harper's Marketplace Icons party, with pictures of the "Bodak Yellow" rap artist being escorted out of the place shoeless and with a big mark over her left eye immediately going viral. The greatest eliminate from NYFW Spring 2019? Style Week is not for the weak. After the shocking fight, a source informed E! News that "event staffers were mortified" about the fight. The insider added that the Icons gala is expected to be "the most unique and glamorous celebration," however their scuffle "eclipsed months of effort and an otherwise amazing night." Ah, don't you simply like the smell of elitism at the end of summer season? " I was sitting ideal next to her. She tumbled over in my lap," Style Calendar released Ruth Finley informed the Associated Press. "The show was just starting. I believed she passed out. 2 males brought her out.". However the saddest NYFW of all occurred in 2012, when 95-year-old socialite Zelda Kaplan died after collapsing at designer Joanna Mastroianni. And just this previous NYFW, the current lineup of New york city women obviously were triggering somewhat of a scene at Pamella Roland's show, per the gospel inning accordance with Page 6. At least the RHONY girls' presence at a show ever got somebody fired, which is what happened to Kelly Cutrone, she of The Hills' frightening employer girl popularity, when she had Ashley Dupre participate in the Yigal Azrouƫl program in 2009. However here's the thing: Minaj and Cardi B's battle is far from the first "unsightly" event to go down throughout NYFW, with the semi-annual occasion having a long history of battles, showdowns and places falling apart, hurting well-dressed attendees. " It was dreadful, but I returned up," the Oscar winner informed E! News after the frightening incident, which was captured on-camera. "It can be scary," she included of the paparazzi's often invasive ways. Somebody who was a little upset after an incident at Fashion Week? Nicole Kidman, with very good reason: she was being knocked over by a paparazzo on a bicycle outside of her hotel in 2013. Cutrone, cool as a cucumber as ever, informed the paper, "I've been fired before, and I'll be fired again. It's the nature of our industry, and it does not distress me.". " Some visitors left to attend her show. It wasn't a mass exodus, but it was obvious," The Daily Monster reported of Jacobs' show starting an hour and a half later than originally set up. Kors' isn't the only significant designer to deal with venue concerns, as several visitors were hurt when they were struck by falling lighting equipment throughout Diane Von Furstenberg's program in 2005. " The way they went by taking a look at this disgusting turmoil, I will always remember," she recalled. "I was mortified." It wasn't PETA's very first time crashing the event in protest of the use of animal fur and skin, as they also tossed red paint on the runway at Randolph Duke's show in 2000, an event that likely influenced the paint-throwing scene in the Sex and the City movie. (God, Samantha missed New york city!). But Frankel's Fashion Week drama wasn't done right now, as she was then seated beside co-star/enemy Kelly Killoren Bensimon. Awkward tension and a name-drop off right away occurred! While he didn't address the Rihanna rumors directly, Jacobs took to Instagram to "seriously say sorry" for and discuss his tardiness, including a list of truths, not "excuses.". A Cosmopolitan fashion market director who needed stitches after being struck in the head took legal action against the designer for medical payment along with payment for pain and suffering. In 2008, Jill Zarin stormed out of a Luca show due to the fact that she was NOT seated in the front row. She later attempted to explain her behavior, stating, "I was having a bad day, was not in an excellent state of mind," which she wanted to be the home of see her child after her very first day of school. Obviously, you cannot relive previous NYFW drama without bringing some Real Homemakers into the mix, and the girls of RHONY have certainly had their fair share of front row concerns. Scandal would strike again for Kors, a previous Project Runway judge, in 2003, when PETA crashed his program to throw tofu pies at Wintour and (gasp!) Sarah Jessica Parker. At the Pamella Roland show in 2010, Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps entered a heated argument when the Skinnygirl mogul believed Lu was taking some digs at her over her feud with Zarin. "I don't like you and I think you're a snake," Frankel simmered. The Countess' response? "You're nasty and I'm not going to do this here.". When Minaj broke her silence about the occurrence on her Queen Radio program on Apple Music's Beats 1, she said it was "so humiliating" to go through that in front of such an "upper tier" crowd. " Following the showing of his Fall Winter Season 2009 Collection, Yigal Azrouƫl has decided to fire front-of-house PR Business, People's Revolution, for mismanagement," a news release sent after the event said, per the NY Daily News. Don't remember who Duprel is? Well, get ready for a blast from political scandal past as she was the call woman who infamously hooked up with then NY governor Eliot Spitzer, so fashion insiders were aghast. In reality, drama can decrease behind-the-seams, as reports recently appeared that Marc Jacobs actively postponed the start of his show (which is always among the most punctual) in order to avoid them from attending Rihanna's Savage x Fenty underwear program, which took the grand ending slot far from him. Dorinda Medley, Ramona Vocalist, Sonja Morgan and Tinsley Mortimer were all reportedly recording for the program, which was "disruptive" to the remainder of the attendees. No word yet if Singer yelled for everybody to "Take a Xanax! Calm down!". The very first significant dust-up of record that occurred was way back in 1990 at a Michael Kors' program, which was kept in a loft area ... which was clearly unfinished as plaster literally fell from the ceiling onto a few of the market's leading critics, with THE Anna Wintour even helping to pick plaster from their heads, per Elle. Can you just imagine that taking place today? (Oh, the memes we might've had.). " It was my wishful thinking that we could achieve all that had to be provided for this show with the circumstances we dealt with," he wrote as one of the facts. "I was wrong. Not due to the fact that everyone didn't strive or offer it their all and more, life is just that way sometimes.".

KATY PERRY FT. NICKI MINAJ - SWISH SWISH [3.36] *types "sports" and "feuds" into subhead, gets 100000000 pageviews*
Mo Kim: "Cartman is introduced to Katy Perry's songwriting staff, who turn out to be a group of manatees. The staff, who live in a large tank, pick up "idea balls" from a large pile of them, each of which has a different animal, quote from direct-to-DVD sleeper hitĀ Bring It On 4: The Bringing On Of The It,Ā or gentrified black slang term written on it, and deliver them, five at a time, to a machine that then forms a verse based on those ideas. Katy Perry refuses to sing if any idea ball is removed from their tank, making critique an unfeasible practice with her. Cartman secretly removes a ball from their tank, causing Katy Perry to stop working, and then convinces the Capitol Records president that she is spoiled and abusing the executives' generosity. Cartman convinces the president that they need to show them what is what. The president decides to pull the new Katy Perry album before its release. Cartman feels victorious, but Taylor Swift shows up, saying that she just convinced the president to tack a 2014 Nicki Minaj verse he found in his Recycle Bin onto the end and release the damn song anyway." [2]
Thomas Inskeep: If you thought "Look What You Made Me Do" was petty, you haven't heard nothin' yet. Clumsy lyrics, a bad early '90s house retread track, a guest verse so phoned-in that Minaj sounds bored doing it, and worst of all, Katy Perry herself, the saddest virus in pop music. Fortunately, it seems that pop fans have developed an immunity to her, based on the pathetic chart performance of her current album and its attendant singles. That sound you hear isn't a "swish," it's Perry's career circling the drain. [0]
Ryo Miyauchi: Genius insists with all its investigative power that this hater-pop is personal, but Katy Perry throws limp jabs that rings anonymous as the dance beat behind her. At least Duke Dumont's wheelhouse is more reliable to entertain. [5]
Crystal Leww: How is it that Duke Dumont is credited as a producer for basically taking Maya Jane Coles and Fatboy Slim production and then somehow making it bad? [1]
Katherine St Asaph: "Walking on Air" was the best track on Prism, and I'm still not sure how Maya Jane Coles isn't everywhere for how much she's influenced pop, so the synthesis was bound to be both good and ascribed to no one involved. "Things have changed from true believers of the music to a more commercialized version of what used to be," said Roland Clark about his infinitely sampled "I Get Deep," so I'm sure he's just thrilled about his words trickling up uncredited, via Fatboy Slim via Duke Dumont, to a Katy Perry song. (He's not disowning it, at least.) If you're very charitable you might see this as Duke Dumont trying, as all pop-house producers do, to prove he Knows His History, but perhaps not, given the aforementioned infinite samples and how Katy's team uses it as a reaction GIF. But at least it belongs in a house track -- unlike the hook (probably Starrah), which belongs in a track that draws out its menace, or the verses (probably Sarah Hudson; evidence), which belong in Pink's "Can't Take Me Home" and in the care of several more editors. (Editors one and two: "what the fuck?" Editor three: "And every bad lyric has nothing to do with basketball anyway. If you're going to keep glomming onto sports because they're now the monoculture that music is not, at least stick to the metaphor." Managing editor: "STOP BEING MUSIC GEEKY.") Everything suggests the kind of song that only coheres with the memes and fake context. Yet somehow it works: the unsweet tea to Meghan Trainor's Arnold Palmer of "Me Too," a machine that looks inexplicably polished. [7]
Madeleine Lee: Finally, a pop single with a house beat that I don't like! I mean, the beat is fine, but I can't enjoy it over the lyrics, which are supposed to be fierce but just sound silly in their mix of bizarre analogies (my personal favourite: "a tiger...don't need opinions from a shellfish") and parroted clapback phrases. Even the robo-voice sample is bad -- that long pause inserted before "what the fuck" is the sound of an air ball. [2]
Nortey Dowuona: A thin, slipping bassline over flat drums. Katy sings blandly. Nicki spits a sharp-toothed verse that is there and then gone. [5]
Frank Kogan: Swish kiss plish, wish the lyrics were different from this. Aside from them, the sound is weird and emphatic and grabby as if she were a Rick James protĆ©gĆ©, and jolts me to happy attention. Of course Teena Marie, theĀ Rick James protĆ©gĆ©, would've run a thousand rings and wings and epicycles around this. But this track is great for using just a touch of Teena and then continuing to bear down on that little touch, getting all it can out of its little somersault. [8]
Maxwell Cavaseno: The "dance like dubstep" line by Nicki is the perfect thing to overstate as to why both artists have been failing to hit their marks. In Perry's case, there's been an insistent attempt to change what's working for her and mimic other people's successes when, considering how the personality-bleached "Rise" was a home run for her, that's the last thing she needed to do. And Minaj's verse-by-numbers, complete with unnecessary sung outro and dustbin bars, feels like someone who's been sleepwalking since 2012. It's a bitter irony: someone desperate to change who never needed to, and someone too stubborn to recognize how antiquated they've become. Plus, this bad Duke Dumont hijack of Maya Jane Coles doesn't even sound like anything plugged into what was hot at any particular time. From the melodies to the cloying attempt at a catchphrase, it feels so disconnected from any real attempt at a hit to the point you wonder why this was released as it was. Greater songs have been kept out of sight. [2]
Will Adams: In the aftermath of Perry's promo campaign for Witness, a fever dream of live streams and awkward celeb collabs in feeble support of Katy's Great Awokening, "Swish Swish" doesn't look so bad. On first glance it seemed as noxious as it read on paper: more references cherry picked from a position of privilege smooshed together with more reverse engineered memes, from Backpack Kid to the cameo sopped video. Yes, the song itself still isn't great. There's still too much reverb, and there's still some unfortunate scansion and even more unfortunate use of the English language. But the sonic references make a difference; Maya Jane Coles' continued influence on pop is a trend I warmly welcome, and if "I Get Deep" needed to get a reboot for the mid-late '10s, keeping it tied to its house roots is a thoughtful choice. "Swish Swish" is at its best when the excess surrounding it is ignored. [5]
Alfred Soto: Apparently this is an "anti-bullying" track! It's not my job to learn intentions, not when "Swish Swish" is a mishmash of incongruous and unhappily cobbled samples, strange vocal choices, and an inapposite Nicki Minaj cameo.Ā  [2]
Alex Clifton: Look, I tried to give this a point for Nicki Minaj singing "I already despise you" in the sweetest way, but I can't do it. "Swish Swish" is the blandest Katy Perry song I've ever heard, which is really saying something. Much as I loathed "Bon Appetit," at least that had, er, memorable moments. Nothing here stands out, a sin for a diss track: the beat is half-assed, the insults are weak ("you're 'bout as cute as an old coupon expired" -- what on earthĀ does that mean, Katy?), and the delivery is emotionless. A song about being the baddest bitch on the block who kills people needs swagger, which has never been Perry's strong point. Say what you will about Taylor Swift, but at least in "Look What You Made Me Do" she sounds icy and in charge. Perry doesn't even have that going for her. [0]
Stephen Eisermann: Nicki's verse is a blast -- quick-witted, fun, and catchy -- and deserving of a much better song. But here, it's just a silver lining on a dark ass cloud. Nothing about this song comes across as sincere -- where Taylor's vindictiveness comes from a place of actual anger, I just don't think Katy cares enough to fight with her. And that's totally fine, but there is no need to fake it! Also, the release of this song feels so weird considering she went on a reconciliation press tour earlier in this album cycle, no? [3]
Joshua Copperman: Swap the two artists around, replace the video with literally anything else, and it's much better - all the pieces are there, including the Duke Dumont-produced beat, but the "old coupon expired" lines aren't iconic; they're dumb. Same with the video, which tries to be a mess and succeeds too well. At least Nicki seems to know what is what. Katy, on the other hand, does not know what is what. She just uses dated memes in her already overblown videoĀ struts. What the heck? [5]

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 21st April 2019
Thereā€™s two new arrivals this week and other than one other story not much happened this week so this is going to be a really short episode without a featured song but I donā€™t care, I needed a break anyway, weā€™ve had some busy weeks very recently, Iā€™m going to take advantage of a slow week.
Tumblr media
Top 10
We barely get any country on the UK charts mostly because country is very, very American so thereā€™s barely any real crossover most of the time, although Florida Georgia Line have cropped up a few times before. So thatā€™s why I think the success of Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrusā€™ ā€œOld Town Roadā€ is so puzzling, at least internationally, because countries like those in the UK are not typically all too friendly to country and/or trap, at least before about 2017 when urban music really started to take a step up in popularity within Britain. I guess it just struck a chord at the right time, especially with the cowboy aesthetic that I see in fashion recently, how weā€™ve reached peak trap, the acceptance of comedy and meme-rap in the mainstream, unfortunately thanks to Lil Dicky and simply how Lil Nas X is one of us. He was a Twitter comedian and Nicki Minaj stan account, so Iā€™m sure his personality and character is relatable to people right now. Weā€™re still experiencing some 90s nostalgia resurgence right now so Billy Ray Cyrusā€™ addition just made it perfect... and yes, that means that thereā€™s a new #1. Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrusā€™ first, ā€œOld Town Roadā€ is up one space from last week to the top of the charts, and Iā€™m not complaining. While Iā€™m a tad more lukewarm on the original, I do think that Billy Ray Cyrus adds a lot to the track and Iā€™ve been rooting for its success ever since it started to be in TikTok memes, so this is a pretty cool event here, even if itā€™s already been #1 in the US for like four weeks, and Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s more of an international cultural phenomenon than I ever expected it to be.
Wow, what a drawn-out speech just to say some country-rap song from a Nicki Minaj stan has hit #1. Speaking of wastes of time, Lewis Capaldiā€™s ā€œSomeone You Lovedā€ is of course down a spot to number-two from last week.
Billie Eilishā€™s ā€œbad guyā€ is still at number-three.
MEDUZA and Goodboys continue to rise a spot to number-four with ā€œPiece of Your Heartā€.
Also up a space from last week is Tom Walkerā€™s ā€œJust You and Iā€ at number-five.
ā€œGiantā€ by Calvin Harris and Rag ā€˜nā€™ Bone Man has a particularly bad week down two spots to number-six.
The interesting story here is Russ splash and Tion Wayne, however, both having their second top 10 hit in the UK thanks to ā€œKeisha & Beckyā€, which debuted a few weeks ago in the top 20 and went absolutely nowhere, but has suddenly boosted up 23 spots to number-seven. Maybe thereā€™s been a video released ā€“ but that canā€™t be it because it quite literally debuted with a video already released. I soon found out that thereā€™s a remix with Aitch, JAY1, Savā€™O and Swarmz. Iā€™ve talked about JAY1 and Swarmz before, but otherwise this is new territory and while I still have the same problems with the chorus especially, but the verses arenā€™t bad here, and Tion Wayne ending his with humming is pretty funny. Aitch is just embarrassing though, Savā€™O and JAY1 are non-existent and Swarmz references ā€œGucci Gangā€. Itā€™s also way too long now, so I would in no way call it an improvement.
Down a spot from last week is Jonas Brothers with ā€œSuckerā€ at number-eight.
Also down one space from last week is Dave with ā€œLocationā€ featuring Burna Boy at number-nine.
Finally, ā€œHere with Meā€ is at #10, rounding off our top 10 with CHVRCHESā€™ first ever top 10 hit and Marshmelloā€™s fifth, up a spot from last week.
Climbers
I find it funny that I concluded the last episode or so with mentioning how I can see all the debuts being hits but none of them are really going away right now, so I hope theyā€™re slow burners. Speaking of, Alec Benjaminā€™s ā€œLet Me Down Slowlyā€ featuring Alessia Cara is up five spaces to #31, and thatā€™s the only notable climber we have.
Fallers
We have a handful more of these, however. Billie Eilishā€™s ā€œbury a friendā€ continues its fall down five spots to #15, as does ā€œwish you were gayā€ funnily enough also by Billie Eilish at #26. ā€œMONOPOLYā€ by Ariana Grande and Victoria MonĆ©t is also down seven positions to #30, prematurely joining long-term hits like ā€œWow.ā€ by Post Malone down six spaces to #32. Oh, and there was an absolutely massive collapse for Ariana Grandeā€™s ā€œbreak up with your girlfriend, iā€™m boredā€ thanks to streaming cuts and dumb UK chart rules, down 24 spaces to #39.
Dropouts & Returning Entries
Remember when I said last weekā€™s debuts would have longevity? Well... ā€œMy Badā€ by Khalid is out from #32, ā€œKill This Loveā€ by BLACKPINK drops out as expected from #33 and ā€œCoolā€ by Jonas Brothers is out from #39. Otherwise, as I figured, ā€œStreathamā€ by Dave is out from #40 and thatā€™s all. In terms of returning entries, ā€œSunflowerā€ by Post Malone and Swae Lee is back at #40 for some reason and for equally no reason, ā€œWho Do You Loveā€ by the Chainsmokers and 5 Seconds of Summer is back at #36. Sure?
NEW ARRIVALS
#13 ā€“ ā€œBoy with Luvā€ ā€“ BTS featuring Halsey
Produced by Pdogg ā€“ Peaked at #1 in Malaysia and South Korea, #8 in the US
BTS have a new ā€œComebackā€, because thatā€™s what all their albums are called, I guess, even if their eras are non-existent. Thatā€™s one thing I donā€™t really like about K-pop ā€“ the mismanagement, and how the bands are overworked, but I suppose thatā€™s none of my business, Iā€™m just here to review the music ā€“ and, yes, this is the lead single and video from K-pop boy band BTSā€™ album and/or EP MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA, featuring... Halsey? To clarify itā€™s pretty much just a brief cameo, she doesnā€™t add anything to the song at all other than some crossover potential and to be fair I think that it will help them have more longevity unlike most K-pop songs that end up on the main charts. The beat is pretty barebones initially, just a vocal samples and a pretty groovy bassline actually, under a pretty steady drum beat which feels more organic than most K-pop beats, which usually go for a stilted trap beat. I canā€™t tell the difference between the BTS boys and Halsey, but I will say the pre-chorus is really catchy, even though I feel like Iā€™ve heard it all before, it has a slight resemblance to ā€œWolvesā€ by Selena Gomez and Marshmello, I see? The ā€œoh, my, my, myā€ refrain reminds me of something I cannot exactly place my fingertip on and itā€™s really annoying, maybe itā€™s ā€œSweet but Psychoā€ by Ava Max but not exactly? I donā€™t really care, though, because it still suffers from what all K-pop does, the randomly-placed trap-rap verses which, while usually flowing well and okay within themselves, are not placed into the song as if it was an actual part of the song, as in, cohesive composition, and instead like an abrupt beat switch for no apparent reason. To be fair, this is more comprehensible than most other K-pop, but for BTSā€™ second top 40 hit (First top 20) and Halseyā€™s sixth (Fourth top 20), it is disappointing, especially with knowledge of the other artistsā€™ work, which is mostly pretty damn good.
#12 ā€“ ā€œSOSā€ ā€“ Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc
Produced by Avicii, Albin Nedler and Bonn ā€“ Peaked at #1 in Finland and Sweden, and #68 in the US
So, yeah, EDM DJ Tim Bergling committed suicide last year, thereā€™s no way to avoid talking about that, and as to be expected with (And has since happened to) pop stars who die, posthumous albums will be released, the first of Aviciiā€™s being Tim. While Avicii supposedly had the instrumental prior and all was needed was for Aloe Blacc to add some songwriting and lay down his vocals, it is stil like most posthumous releases, somewhat empty, and since a representative stated that there werenā€™t any plans to release any music, it does feel pretty scummy just a year later, but this is the only song really generating all too much profit for the producers and songwriters (Mostly because of the writing credits for TLC, ironically excluding the member who passed away), because of how all of the profits the album generates are going to the Tim Bergling Foundation, spreading mental health awareness, and I canā€™t knock that, so I do respect his label and close friends and family for producing this record. This is Aviciiā€™s 14th UK Top 40 hit, the first of which that is posthumous, and his 12th Top 20, as well as Aloe Blaccā€™s fourth Top 40 and Top 20 hit, and honestly itā€™s pretty good. Sure, it sounds somewhat unfinished, and it really isnā€™t anything unique, but I love Blaccā€™s voice and the hook is insanely catchy, mostly because of the interpolation of ā€œNo Scrubsā€, with the overproduced synths producing a legitimately good build-up into a relaxed but fun EDM drop, and I donā€™t really have any complaints about it, other than the fact that due to the circumstances, Aloe Blaccā€™s subject matter is unfortunately ironic and perhaps misguided, but I understand his intentions with having the song portraying a man, possibly detailing Aviciiā€™s own personal struggles, willing to stop being reliant on drugs for the love of his life, and thatā€™s a message I can get behind. For what itā€™s worth, I like this, but Iā€™m not sure how moral it is or how long itā€™ll stick around.
Conclusion
Itā€™s kind of slim pickings here, but Iā€™ll go with Avicii and Aloe Blacc in terms of Best of the Week for ā€œSOSā€ but I donā€™t dislike ā€œBoy with Luvā€ at all so I think BTS and Halsey can scrape through with an Honourable Mention and there are no negative titles this week, because nothing here is worth getting angry about. Follow me on Twitter @cactusinthebank for more pop music ramblings and Top 20 rankings, and Iā€™ll see you next week!
