You put yourself in (their) shoes. You showed empathy, Connor. Empathy's a human emotion.

you sighed, scrolling through your comments. it had been almost a month after your albums release, and some people still were bringing up the hug with charles. i mean, seriously it was just a hug. it wasn't like you guys had made out or anything.
both your label and ferrari were sponsored by celsius, and your management had met with one of ferraris pr heads. they had agreed to work together to promote the new album, and had picked charles because he was a fan of your music.
you clicked instantly on the first day of set, but it also helped that you spoke fluent french (you had an obsession with indila when you were younger and forced yourself to learn it) the lack of a language barrier, coupled with the fact that you guys had similar interests made it inevitable that you both would become friends.
after the album launch party, you were exhausted. you had woken up at 4am for promo shoots, and had been running around all day before singing your whole album (which was around an hour long) to the attendees. it was fun, and you wouldnt trade your career for the whole world, but man you were tired.
as you were heading out, you spotted charles and you both stopped to talk
"tu as bien fait là-dedans" he said, smiling as he pushed his hands into his pockets (you did good in there)
"merci! les heures de pratique m’ont aidé. je pense que je pourrais oublier les paroles si j’essayais" you smile as he laughed (thanks! the hours of practice helped. i dont think i could forget the lyrics if i tried)
"en pratiquant son art on devient artisan" (practice makes perfect)
you nod, turning as you hear your bandmate siobahn call for you
you look back to him, saying your goodbyes and quickly hugging him before running after her.
that was it. just a friendly hug. it's not like he liked you, and if he knew you liked him, you doubt he would still be friends with you.

after having checkmate charles sat back, smiling smugly as he looked at pierre try and fail to make a move. giving up, he raised his hands in defeat.
"quand vais-je jamais te battre?" he said sighing as he chuckled (when will i ever beat you)
"peut-être dans une autre vie" (maybe in another life)
scoffing, pierre changed the subject.
"so i heard you're with some rockstar these days"
"i most definitley am not"
"sure, sure. you might not be dating her but i can tell you like her"
charles paused, having a mini crisis. ok. so maybe he did like you. he couldn't help it, honestly. throughout filming ,and even after he had grown to really admire you. not only just as an artist, but as a person as well. he honestly hoped you'd be able to meet up afterwards, but he hasnt been able to see you since. between his preseason training and your concerts, you both are rarely free, let alone in the same country.
he told all of this to pierre, who listened quietly, nodding along before telling him his masterplan. he was gonna help him out, what kindve friend would he be if he didnt?

Do you have a recommendations on where to start learning about old web stuff?
tbh i hav no idea! w3schools & sadgrl have some coding and html tutorials if u wanna maek ur own website but 2 my knowlage nobody has written any kind of comprehensive guide or glossery for terms or history that could serve as an introduction for new ppl or well, people have tried, yesterweb exists but alot of people disagree with their approach to explaining the old web and trying to turn it into like a movement when alot of ppl just wanna liek, make silly websites or have a cute blog if you want websites to look at i have a stupid ammount of them bookmarked lol but if u want just a couple you can start with dokodemo & cinni tho my personal faves for sites are apple dust & whimsical tho tbh i engadge more so with people who make webgraphics then websites as i like art and organization a lil more then coding if u want a breakdown of any of my web graphics projects im willing 2 give one, but tbh i prefer 2 explain it over VC with screenshare rather then text because i dont want to have to take 7 million screenshots and gifs to show my project, i exist in my jigsaw puzzle discord on vc sometimes so you can just ask their, but i dont rlly wanna interact with people under 15 that much, so if you are i wouldnt reccomend joining i do wanna make a like, video overveiw of some of my completed works but im not the best at editing and still have to figure out a process that works well for me in that regard but just one thing, if you do wanna start making websites or web graphics or anything please i am begging you do not use uncredited graphics, theres alot of stolen artwork circulating around witch has lead to a sort of apathy around crediting artwork witch is really shitty! and it makes it extremely hard to track down sources of things when so many people are just sharing random art they stole with zero idea who made it, and its really really sad you can find f2u graphics on places like devient art, and if you are gonna use graphics you havent made you should make a comprehensive credits page on your site detailing what asset is what artist and where and how to find them, with both live links and archival links (cuz u dont wanna lose that) alot of p2u graphics dont require credit, you can generally find those on kofi, but with how common just ripping assets off of somebodies site is in this community idk how many artists are actually ok with somebody using their assets in that way even if paid if its something like a premade pack and not an actual commision i give some links to various artists on DA and ko-fi if you woul liek as well, but in general most people just kind of learn by existing in the community

Connor x reader
Fandom: Detroit Become Human.
Character: Machine-Connor.
Genre: angst (sorta) / hurt no comfort.
"Connor,please don't do this.."
Walking slowly on the rooftop, hands in front of her, trying her damn hardest to persuade the android who was focusing on the sniper in his hands.
"Detective, you are off the case, you cannot intervene anymore"
He didn't even look at her, however her resolve did not waver, she had to bring him back to his senses.
Crouching near the edge of the rooftop, and with precise presesion he locked on the target.
The devient leader, RK200.
"No no! You have to listen to me,Connor! They are sentient beings! They have feelings and loved ones and-"
"This is your last chance, Detective. Leave right now, or I will take the necessary actions against you"
He wouldn't...would he?
Sweet, precious Connor, who stole her breath the moment she laid her eyes on him, who got her coffee every morning the way she liked , and then proceeded to info-dumb everything coffee-related on her, who criticized her about her junk food consumption, who protected her from being shot by the tracis in the Eden club, who gave her his jacket when she was fretting over his injured shoulder because she was shivering.. he wouldn't hurt her..right?
"Connor.. you are more than your program, you are more than what anybody tells you, please just listen-"
She didn't comprehend that he moved, until she was staring at the barrel of the gun he apperantly had on his person.
His eyes were so dead, that was not her Connor.
Or maybe it was...
Maybe she was too blind to notice, she let her feelings for him consume her mind.
She couldn't change him. It was too late. She was too late.
Was she was even important to him like he was to her?
Did he even realize.... no, was he able to understand how she felt for him?
"I warned you, Detective..."
His eyes, she was so stupid, they were like this from the begining, machine-like and so lifeless.
So so blind..
Tears welled up in her eyes, hands shaking, not from the cold this time, a broken smile slowly twisted her pretty features.
"I'm sorry.."
"There's no nee-"
"I'm sorry to myself for loving you, for thinking that you felt something, anything, for me.. and the worst part, is that I still love you, and I hate myself for it."
"Well, it's your fault, Detective. You know that androids cannot harbor feelings, and you chose to continue with the fantasies you created in your mind.
You cannot blame me for what I am..
After all, I was built for a specific purpose..
And I always accomplish my mission."

This is only part of a love letter Napoleon wrote
Je ne sais pas quel sort m’attend ; mais s’il m’éloigne plus longtemps de toi, il me [devient] insupportable ; mon courage ne va pas jusque-là. Il fut un temps où je m’enorgueillissais de mon courage, et quelquefois, en jetant les yeux sur le mal que pourraient me faire les hommes, sur le sort que pourrait me réserver le destin, je fixais les malheurs les plus inouïs sans froncer le sourcil, sans me sentir étonné. Mais aujourd’hui, l’idée que ma Joséphine pourrait être mal, l’idée qu’elle pourrait être malade, et surtout la cruelle, la funeste pensée qu’elle pourrait m’aimer moins, flétrit mon âme, arrête mon sang, me rend triste, abattu, ne me laisse pas même le courage de la fureur et du désespoir… Je me disais souvent jadis : les hommes ne peuvent rien à celui qui meurt sans regret ; mais aujourd’hui, mourir sans être aimé de toi, mourir sans cette certitude, c’est le tourment de l’enfer, c’est l’image vive et frappante de l’anéantissement absolu. Il me semble que je me sens étouffer. Mon unique compagne, toi que le sort a destinée pour faire avec moi le voyage pénible de la vie, le jour où je n’aurai plus ton cœur sera celui où la nature aride sera pour moi sans chaleur et sans végétation… Je m’arrête, ma douce amie ; mon âme est triste, mon corps est fatigué, mon esprit est étourdi. Les hommes m’ennuient. Je devrais bien les détester : ils m’éloignent de mon cœur.
Je suis à Port-Maurice, près Oneille ; demain, je suis à Albenga. Les deux armées se remuent ; nous cherchons à nous tromper. Au plus habile la victoire. Je suis assez content de Beaulieu ; s’il manœuvre bien, il est plus fort que son prédécesseur. Je le battrai, j’espère, de la belle manière. Sois sans inquiétude, aime-moi comme tes yeux ; mais ce n’est pas assez : comme toi ; plus que toi, que ta pensée, ton esprit, ta vie, ton tout. Douce amie, pardonne-moi, je délire ; la nature est faible pour qui sent vivement, pour celui que tu animes. [...]
Adieu, adieu, je me couche sans toi, je dormirai sans toi, je t’en prie, laisse-moi dormir. Voilà plusieurs jours où je te serre dans mes bras, songe heureux mais, mais, ce n’est pas toi…
--------
I don’t know what fate awaits me; but if it keeps me away from you any longer, it [becomes] unbearable to me; my courage only goes so far. There was a time when I prided myself on my courage, and sometimes, casting my eyes on the harm that men could do to me, on the fate that destiny could have in store for me, I stared at the most incredible misfortunes without frowning, without feeling surprised. But today, the idea that my Joséphine could be unwell, the idea that she could be ill, and above all the cruel, fatal thought that she could love me less, withers my soul, stops my blood, makes me sad, dejected, does not even leave me with the courage of fury and despair… I often used to say to myself: men can do nothing to those who die without regret; but today, to die without being loved by you, to die without this certainty, is the torment of hell, it is the vivid and striking image of absolute annihilation. I seem to be suffocating. My only companion, you whom fate has destined to make with me the painful journey of life, the day when I will no longer have your heart will be the day when arid nature will be for me without heat and without vegetation… I stop, my sweet friend; my soul is sad, my body is tired, my mind is dizzy. Men bore me. I should hate them: they take me away from my heart.
I am in Port-Maurice, near Oneille; tomorrow I'm in Albenga. The two armies move; we seek to deceive each other. The most skilful wins. I am quite happy with Beaulieu; if he maneuvers well, he is stronger than his predecessor. I will beat him, I hope, in a good way. Don't worry, love me like your eyes; but that’s not enough: like you; more than you, than your thought, your spirit, your life, your everything. Sweet friend, forgive me, I am delirious; nature is weak for those who feel keenly, for those whom you animate. [...]
Goodbye, goodbye, I'm going to bed without you, I'll sleep without you, please let me sleep. It's been several days since I held you in my arms, happy dream but, but, it's not you…

Is now the WORST time to start a hypno themed content channel? (Yes, but do it anyway!)
So this is going to be a wild ride into hypnosis content creation, inspired a lot by my recent return to making it and how things have shifted over the years. This is in no way trying to deter people from making content, quite the opposite, I want to inspire others to take this as a sign to go for it if you've been thinking about it.
So WTF is going on online?
Welcome to YouTube a platform where anyone with some good ideas can start their own hypnosis channel. A place where you can be a spiral with text, an asmr creator moonlighting as a hypnotist, full cam video or an anime girl with a passion for mind breaking. It's actually wild how things have evolved and I love the shift in the medium. Back in the early days of hypnosis YouTube it really was the wild west, and a lot was able to slip by the community guidelines without a blink of an eye, and I should know, I really did push my luck with some of my own videos. YouTube isn't the only platform in this situation now where you can do hypnosis. You have here on tumblr, twitter (or x, make up your mind Elon), patreon, soundgasm, hypnohub, devient art, twitch. Name a platform or site and odds are someone is doing hypnosis there. This is great because it means the community is growing and the potential reach is expanding but it also means that working as a hypnosis creator is now harder than ever.
Back in 2017 I started a YouTube channel which I had no clue would as of today lead me to 95k subscribers and my entire income being funded through patreon. But if you look at my content from then to now there had to be some massive leaps to keep my name and my work in peoples attention span. Most content creators don't last years, I know I am an outlier and not a norm. This is due to the fact that over time tastes change, the algorithm changes to reflect this audience shift and what you did back then is just not good enough comapred to now. I had to be drastic to weather the storms of mental health, physical health, audience rention and analytics galore, branding shifts, shifts in community. It's all a lot to deal with but if you want to do this in any format you have to be ready to put yourself through it to be a success and even then I look at my work now and I don't think it's truly successful, yet.
I haven't made it and I don't think I ever will because that "made it" feeling, the top of the hill, is such a subjective metric that's hard to describe. Back in 2017 if you'd asked me, "Secret, when will you know that you are a great creator?" and I would have told you, "100k on YouTube, I want my silver play button." I still do want it, but not like I did before. Before it was clout to be quite honest. 100k means you are powerful enough to do what you want to do, to be able to reach brands, to make friends and collab with the bigger channels, to have people look at you and take you seriously as a creator. But none of that matters now. Subscribers are less important than ever. What matters now is attention. Retention. Clicks, engagement and views.
Now back in 2020 I was really rude. I made a video called Seduced into Obedience that blew up my channel. It got half a million views before YouTube made me take it down earlier this year. It's an achievement I could never expect to relive and it was all based on cheating the system. See I knew that back in "the day" people loved doing those audios on YouTube where you would "comment I am a good slave" in the comments. Knowing what I know about YouTube I decided to run a little test, an experiment on my channel. A risk that I thought just might pay off and if not, oh well, worth a try. I made an audio with the aim of making people like it, and comment in the comments. In the same style of those before me, I took a concept that was not often seen and honestly a little stupid, I made it and the worst part is, it worked. It got me seen by huge content creators in the mainstream who memed on me for it. It skyrocketted in views and kept going. It was my first video to hit 100k on YouTube and it is a moment that will never happen again. It was age restricted which killed the growth but the channel kept going and it wasn't a viral hit, but it was a dark horse that built my reputation on YouTube and then I went and changed everything.
Why change if it was going so well?
So one thing about the internet is you have to follow the success where it takes you. I could have made several more Seduced audios for YouTube and in fact I did do that for a little while but, tastes change. I changed. I stopped doing what I was doing and started being a vtuber, a faceless creator and I got into ASMR. At the time ASMR roleplaying was massive so this was a strategy I wanted to try, mix my love of acting and fantasy with my love of hypnosis see what happens. It worked pretty well as those videos also started doing pretty good and now I have a bunch of videos over 100K on YouTube. But this also trapped me in a box. Now I have had time to have a break and come back I noticed, YouTube especially is really hard on ASMR creators. It's hard on hypnosis creators. It's hard on creators because the platform is loaded with content. You have to be unique to stand out. You have to play to your audience. You have to gain people's attention through interest and ideas that are still fresh but not too specific to turn away the people who watch you. It's a battle to keep it going and it's one I have made many, many mistakes in. You have to give your audience the most, but not too much. You have to be avaible to people in the comments, but not too much. It's a fine balancing act and one that will drive you insane if you don't have a great support system.
So why am I sharing this with you?
I'm at a stage in my career as a creator where I am fearless to try new stuff. I am trying not to care about my reputation as a domme or as a person (more on that in a later essay, I'm sure). I'm trying to lead with my creative spirit and not be upset when a video doesn't "hit" or "pop off". I'm not going to leave a livestream anymore and cry because no one came to see me do a thing. I'm splitting my time between making music, gaming and creating fun things for me and making hypnosis and asmr roleplays for the people who want it and not being sad if my song doesn't go viral right away. Because recently after a death in my family, a health scare that nearly ended my career and the loss of a huge opportunity that turned out not to work for me, I have learned that life is too short not to make the fun things I want.
I want to share with content creators that doing this fulltime is scary and it is hard. It is tough to see posts do nothing. It's scary to see that platforms want to ban hypnokink. It's rough to have other creators disown you for being the wrong kind of degen. But if this is your passion and your dream to make this work, you can do it.
How do you get noticed in this challenging environment?
Lead with passion and your own point of view.
I'm not kidding here, it's the best and worst advice I can give you. Too different and you alienate people, not different enough and you aren't memorable. But you have to lead with passion. Passion carries through the screen. People can hear it in your voice, see it in your work. But outside of that, here are some other things you might want to think about if you are going to commit to making content of any kind:
Who is your target audience? If you say yourself, great! What do you like? What do you want? What are you goals with interacting with content? Follow that.
What is your brand (and can you say it in a single sentence) I'm literally not kidding. If you can't describe what you do in one sentence your branding needs work. Eg, hi I'm Secret and I'm a hypnotic nyanpire from New Zealand.
If someone was to see you on the internet, what should they remember? The other day I got a great comment on a piece of art I commed, "I saw this and I immediatly thought of Secret Subject, and then I looked and saw it was posted by her", your branding should be that strong because people see thousands of posts a day. What makes you different? For me, it's purple. It's goth mommy. It's cats and bats. Find your vibe and own it. Do not be afraid to double down and make your entire thing about it. Everytime I get art made, I make it about my character and it must have purple hair because that keeps the brand strong in someone's mind.
What is your purpose? For me without a goal of "this is why I make the content I do" I would be lost and unmotivated. Find your why and write it down, put a post-it on the wall. Tell a friend. Whatever you need to remind you, this is why I do what I do. When times are hard or you run out of steam/ideas go back to this and really hone into what it is you want to say.
Own your mistakes and bad days. We all have them. That thing didn't do well. That video wasn't great. There was a mistake in this thing or I accidentally made a tweet that went viral for all the wrong reasons. It happens. Be honest with yourself but exercise kindness. Own your mistakes and show people you are human even if you play as an anime vampire catgirl online.
Make connections for the right reasons. As an ex-vtuber I can tell you it's hard when people use you or befriend you "for something". It's okay to build business connections and make this all about business but be honest with people, it does go a long way. Have respect for people who are fellow creators and if you seriously are looking for "friends" that's fine but also know that being friends and colleagues in content are not the same and the lines get very blurry at times.
Be persistant instead of consistent. You've probably been told "constancy is key" a bunch here, hell, you may have heard it from me. I used to teach this as part of my content class at cons but it's not as important as just sticking with it. We are not robots. We can't just all schedule tweets to go out perfectly timed and are all amazingly funny all the time. You need time to come up with quality so take it, but do not give up. If you give up and throw in the towel often you won't make it. Especially on social media. Taking a break or hiatus is fine, I just had one myself, but if you everytime it gets too hard say "I'm done" and then come back on a cycle you are just hurting yourself.
Perfection is a creativity killer. Just post that thing. Sometimes just posting that thing will lead to a new classic for the community.
Time to make your mark
I'm still grinding, we all are still out here making it happen in our own ways. I am so excited to watch the next gen of hypnosis creators florish and thrive. I am a huge simp for my friends who take on this challege because they all work so hard and have so much passion for this weird niche kink we all have. I am in awe of people who feel the fear of this journey and keep doing it. I'm in awe of people who started before me and are still here doing it, because it is not easy and I am over pretending it is.
We need diversity in content and especially in hypnosis kink. I am a person from New Zealand, a small country where a lot of us tend not to make a big splash in the world. People like me don't get the kind of platform I am lucky and insanely grateful to have. I encourage you to take your point of view as a kinkster, and make your mark on the world too. Play safe, care about your content and do good. Remember that you don't need thousands of dedicated fans to be popular and you can be someones favorite regardless of how "seen" your work is.

[I am the hunter, and the hunted, joined together.]
XI - Les Esprits
À ce stade, je ne savais pas pourquoi je pensais que toute nouvelle information m'aiderait. Au lieu que je me rapproche d'une réponse, le labyrinthe venait de recevoir une nouvelle aile nommée d'après ce Trithemius.
En fait, je savais exactement quelle amie appeler.
Salut Snow, ça va ?
Snow: Ça va ! Et toi ? Comment était ton voyage à Londres ?
C'était trop bien ! Quoi de neuf ? Comment se passent les études ?
Snow: Honnêtement, je suis fatigué. J'ai vraiment hâte la fin du semestre. Je vais voir les darons pendant une semaine puis partir en vacances dans un endroit exotique et chaude aussi longtemps que possible. 
En parlant d'exotique; j’ai une question pour toi. Je me retrouve dans un mystère qui est récemment devenu obscur et je savais que tu étais la seule personne qui pouvait m'aider. Le nom Trithème, ça te dit quelque chose ?
Snow: Johannes ? Le mec qui a inventé la cryptographie et communiqué avec les esprits ? 
C’est lui. Je suis tombé sur une étrange maison d'édition qui réédite ses livres et j'ai voulu en savoir plus.
Snow: Réédite ses livres ? Bizarre, autant que je sache, aucun de ses livres n'a même été traduit. Mais je suppose qu'il y a toujours des gens qui connaissent le latin.
Dit moi un peu plus de sa cryptographie, je pensais que tu avais besoin d'un ordinateur pour ça. 
Snow: Le mec était un ordinateur. Certains des chiffres secrets étaient si compliqués qu'ils n'ont été décodés qu'il y a environ 20 ans.
Peut-être qu'on peut commencer avec des chiffres un peu moins compliqués ?
Snow: Le chiffre Ave Maria est probablement le plus drôle. Chaque lettre qu'on veut décoder a un (et parfois deux) mot latin correspondant. Par exemple, pour la lettre "E", les mots sont "dominus" et "magnus". On peut choisir entre les deux, en fait. Donc, si on veut décoder le mot "secret", le texte décrypté devient "Omnipotens dominus conditor fabricator magnus pacificus". Si on traduit ça en français, ça veut dire "Le Tout-Puissant, le Seigneur, le Faiseur, le Grand Pacificateur", une phrase qui pourrait facilement être une vraie prière latine, bien que peu créative. Son deuxième livre Polygraphie comprenait des centaines de pages de ce type d'écriture.  
Les gens ont dû penser qu'il était fou.
Snow: Oui, probablement même après son premier livre Stéganographie. 
Ah, c'est ça. Stéganographie est le livre que Mars Éditions a réédité.
Snow: Vraiment ? Pour moi c'est encore plus bizarre. Stéganographie se compose de trois parties. La dernière partie est incroyablement compliquée et contient des tableurs de données planétaires. Quelqu'un découvrait récemment que les nombres dans ces tableurs cachaient les messages secrets. Je n'arrive pas à comprendre moi-même.
Et les deux premières parties ?
Snow: Elles proposent des méthodes pour communiquer avec les esprits. En fait, les esprits spécifique ce qui Trithème mentionné par nom. Pamersiel, Padiel, Camuel, etc. Chacun régnant sur une différente partie du monde (sud, nord, etc.) et combien d'esprits subordonnés ils dirigent pendant le jour et pendant la nuit.
Quoi ? 
Snow: Oui, c'est vraiment quelque chose d'une autre planète. Chaque esprit a même son propre symbole, un sceau. Et, bien sûr, des instructions pour l'appeler.
Appeler les esprits ?
Snow: J'oubliais exactement comment, mais caché dans le livre sont des instructions pour appeler les esprits. Par exemple, si on veut convoquer l'esprit Pamersiel, on doit chanter une expression précise. Quand Pamersiel apparaît, on peut lui donner un message à transmettre à n'importe quoi. Mais, et c'est important: ce message doit être crypté avec des règles spécifiques pour cet esprit. Pour Pamersiel, on garde juste la première lettre de chaque mot. 
Si je veux transmettre le mot "secret", j'écris quelque chose comme "soudain, elle crie, ravie et triomphante"?
Snow: Exactement.
Et pour Padiel ?
Snow: C’est un peu plus compliqué. On doit prendre chaque deuxième lettre de chaque deuxième mot. Très différent que Pamersiel. Donc, si tu reçois un message, pour le décoder, tu dois savoir quel esprit l'a délivré.
Encore une fois, pour le mot "secret" avec Padiel, tu peux par exemple écrire "c'est assez, tu écartes or et argent". 
Snow: Tu es incroyablement doué pour ça. C'est correct. Une phrase un peu absurde mais aussi parfaitement Trithème-esque. Ce livre est une sorte d'annuaire téléphonique spirituel. Les gens ne savent toujours pas ce qui était le plus important pour Trithème : le spiritisme ou la cryptographie. 
Je pense que pour lui, les deux sont liés. Évidemment même l'astronomie si tu inclus le dernier partie de Stéganographie.
Snow: C'est vrai. Il a suscité l'intérêt de nombreux astronomes et mathématiciens de renom et même de linguistes, c'est ainsi que je suis tombé sur son travail. Mais je ne suis jamais allé trop loin dans le terrier du lapin.
Je pense que c'est exactement là où je vais aller maintenant.
Snow: Bonne chance. Fais attention, et dis moi si tu as besoin d'aide. 
Bien sûr ! Je te tiens au courant.
Snow: Parfait. A tout à l'heure !
Ciao !
Avec cet homme excentrique frais dans mon esprit, j'ai attrapé le livre Nuit Sans Fin et l'ai recouvert avec des yeux neufs.

Dead Frenchmen Thoughts Ahead:
I rambled on a little bit back about assigning songs to Soult but I’m still trying to find songs for the others
Glitter and Gold by Barns Courtney - ( i am flesh and i am bone / rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold / i’ve got fire in my soul / rise up, ting ting, like glitter / […] / do you walk in the valley of kings? / do you walk in the shadow of men / who sold their lives to a dream? ) - I was thinking could be an overall marshalate song but man it is actually a peak Murat song
Iron by Woodkid - ( the sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head / the thunder of the drums dictates / the rhythm of the falls, the number of dead / the rising of the horns ahead ) - Ney ney ney Ney
A bit stuck on Lannes - the joke option is Ladders by Ashbury Heights because of the Ratisbon Ladder Story, the lyrics could fit if you really squint ( take your pills and fall asleep alone / climbing ladders into the unknown / and if you lose your teeth tonight / at least you've had a lovely time )
Another one I was thinking was Masque also by Ashbury Heights ( i always spoke my mind / like a rhinoceros charging into walls / and when i courted you / I never said the words at all ) but the first verse really doesn’t fit
Not entirely sure it fits but I mentally associate Rule #9 - Child of the Stars with Massena ( you were a wanderer / back when you were young / i remember your eyes were clear / brighter than the sun )
For Davout, well, he has a song - Maréchal de fer by Wolf’s Gang ( grenadier en un soupir, devient vite maréchal d'empire / glorieuse ascension, ton honneur est légion / maréchal de fer, ministre de la guerre! )
And as I said, East by Sleeping at Last - ( so i draw my sword with the morning sun / i summon the moon as soon as the day is done / the clouds march on, on my command / even the rain it falls according to plan ) - is very, very Napoleon
Anyway taking suggestions for more songs to fit with dead marshals

[ FR ] La campagne Ulule est terminée depuis lundi !!!! Elle a pu voir le jour et le livre pourra partir à l'impression ! Je suis tellement rassurée et heureuse ! J'avoue que je suis passée par toutes les émotions lors de la campagne. Mille mercis ! ♥
Je fais un petit LIVE sur mon instagram ce soir à 18h00, si vous voulez y faire un tour. Ca sera un debrief'.
Quoiqu'il en soit, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour moi. Je vais pouvoir le présenter dans les prochains salons et conventions ! Mais ça m'a aussi bien montré que l'auto-édition et ce milieu devient de plus en plus difficile pour toutes et tous. C'est même plus dur maintenant de ce lancer qu'il y à 15 ans, voire même moins.
                                              ………………..    • 🟆 •   ………………
[ ENG ] The Ulule campaign ended on Monday !!!! It was able to see the light of day and the book can go to print! I am so reassured and happy ! I admit that I went through all the emotions during the campaign. Thank you so much ! ♥
I'm doing a little LIVE on my Instagram this evening at 6:00 p.m., if you want to take a look. It will be a debrief.
Regardless, this is great news for me. I will be able to present it at future trade shows and conventions ! But it also showed me that self-publishing and this environment are becoming more and more difficult for everyone. It's even harder now to throw this than it was 15 years ago, or even less.

Mélancolie.
Je ne sais pas si c'est le bon mot, je ne suis pas douée pour m'exprimer. Mais j'essaye, je fais de mon mieux pour essayer d'écrire quelque chose de potable et avec le moins de clichés possible, mais la vie est un cliché à elle toute seule.
Pourquoi un Artiste devrait toujours tout faire parfaitement dans les règles de l'art ? J'ai toujours pensé qu'un Artiste en était un parce qu'il ne pouvait rien faire d'autre. Un Artiste peut être peintre, dessinateur, écrivain, chanteur, musicien, danseur, cuisiner, acteur, sans avoir à être connu du grand public. Un Artiste peut être un Artiste sans vraiment en avoir l'air. Pas besoin d'être David Bowie pour être un Artiste. Juste à faire les choses avec honnêteté et vivre de son art.
L'art est une forme d'expression, il permet de créer ce que d'autres ne peuvent interpréter comme nous l'avons fait, parce que chacun est différent et que chacun imagine l'art de différentes manières. Je ne veux pas que les gens sachent pourquoi et dans quelles circonstances j'ai écrit telle ou telle chanson, car ça gâcherait la magie de l'interprétation personnelle. Il n'y a pas forcément de sens concret. Je veux qu'ils sachent penser par eux-mêmes. Pas comme moi. Surtout pas comme moi.
Il y a une chose qu'on ne peut pas changer chez l'Artiste : il est libre. Libre de penser. C'est ça un Artiste, non ? Être libre. Penser par soi-même, et penser, c'est être libre.
Et je suis une Artiste libre. Probablement. Parce que je ne suis pas heureuse. Pourquoi les Artistes ne sont jamais heureux ? Parce qu'ils sont trop lucides. Alors ils se créent leur propre monde. Jusqu'ici, tout va bien. C'est lorsqu'ils sont forcés de revenir à la réalité que ça devient difficile.
Etrangement, être « heureuse » me rend banale, tellement que j'ai l'impression de ne rien ressentir. D'être morte, sans vie.
La tristesse me rend vivante. Ça peut paraître triste à dire, mais elle me donne l'impression de mourir, mais pas entièrement. Comme si je vivais ma mort. Ainsi, je souffre, j'ai mal. Et je ressens autre chose que du vide. Parce que lorsque je ne ressens rien, je suis une coquille vide. Il faut que je souffre.
En fin de compte, c'est moi le problème.

Melancholy.
I don't know if that's the right word, I'm not good at expressing myself. But I try, I do my best to try to write something enjoyable and with as few clichés as possible, but life is a cliché in itself.
Why should an Artist always do everything perfectly according to the rules of the art ? I always thought that an Artist was one because he couldn't do anything else. An Artist can be a painter, designer, writer, singer, musician, dancer, cook, actor, without having to be known to the general public. An Artist can be an Artist without really appearing to be one. You don't have to be David Bowie to be an Artist. Just doing things honestly and making a living from your art.
Art is a form of expression, it allows us to create what others cannot interpret as we have, because everyone is different and everyone imagines art in different ways. I don't want people to know why and under what circumstances I wrote this or that song, because that would spoil the magic of personal interpretation. There is not necessarily any concrete meaning. I want them to know how to think for themselves. Not like me. Especially not like me.
There is one thing that cannot be changed about the Artist : he is free. Free to think. That’s what an Artist is, right ? Being free. Free by oneself, and to think is to be free.
And I am a free Artist. Probably. Because I'm not happy. Why are Artists never happy ? Because they are too lucid. So they create their own world. So far, so good. It's when they're forced back to reality that it gets difficult.
Strangely, being “happy” makes me mundane, so much so that I feel like I feel nothing. To be dead, lifeless.
Sadness makes me alive. It may sound sad to say, but it makes me feel like I'm dying, but not entirely. As if I was experiencing my death. So, I suffer, I am in pain. And I feel something other than emptiness. Because when I don't feel anything, I'm an empty shell. I have to suffer.
Ultimately, I'm the problem.

Genuinely curious which Simone quote it is. I’m also newer to radical feminism and am still learning.
It's the "on ne naît pas femme, on le devient" so "one is not born a woman, one becomes one" and I have seen this quote used by tra in an attempt to make it seems as if she would be pro trans when this quote is about how femininity is fucking fake and NOT innate. So the opposite of trans ideology.

I have made so many offerings that I am almost dry, luckily I have some teufelskunst incense left and the incomparable frankincense *green hojari, medical grade*. They are starving.

Hi !
Hello, i'm Sarah, a 19 years old beginner artist from France. I created an Tumblr account because of Twitter becoming a shitty place. Unlike on my other account on social media, I will mostly speak english here (with a french translation for some posts). I am excited to discover new artists here and to show off my progress in drawing ! Sorry if I do mistakes in English.
Salut, je suis Sarah, une artiste débutante française de 19 ans. J'ai créé un compte Tumblr à cause de Twitter qui devient un endroit nul. Contrairement à mes autres comptes sur les résaux sociaux, je parlerai majoritairement en anglais ici. (Avec une traduction française pour certains posts) Je suis excitée à l'idée de découvrir de nouveaux artists ici et de montrer mes progrès en dessin ! Désolée si je fais des fautes d'anglais.

Aimerais-je encore les Arctic Monkeys si ce n'étaient pas les Arctic Monkeys ?
Tumblr media
Autant que ce soit clair : il ne s'agira pas ici de donner un avis ampoulé sur le septième album des Arctic Monkeys, The Car, qui servira plus ici de prétexte à une observation de mes goûts (douteux) et leur expansion.
Si les Arctic Monkeys nous avaient habitué à changer de peau régulièrement, difficile de prévoir le grand écart opéré en 2018 avec Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, un concept-album qui propulsait Alex Turner en gérant d'un luxuriant hôtel lunaire. On a beau avoir entendu les rumeurs soupçonnant le disque d'être un projet solo de Turner repackagé pour des raisons marketing, la claque était immense, que l'on aime ou non : arrangement en longueur à la frontière du jazz, paroles déclamées façon Leonard Cohen, guitares et batterie au diapason sans dépasser ; qu'elle paraissait loin l'époque des tronches juvéniles, des cardigans et des guitares portées au niveau du torse. Une leçon à deux morales : l'une pour les amateurs, à qui leur était prouvé l'épanouissement d'une plume, l'autre pour les fans trop rigoristes, laissés sur le bord de la route sans ménagement.
youtube
Cette mue, bien plus radicale qu'auparavant, a apporté une surcouche à l'amour et la relation particulière que j'entretiens avec le groupe depuis mon adolescence, cette époque où l'on s'approprie les choses pour la première fois. Les Arctic Monkeys sont de celles-ci, transfiguratives, déterminantes, des reflets de vérité, des échos de ressenti quand les ressemblances (largement imaginées) entre ce groupe de potes qui joue de la musique et le nôtre renforcent l'attachement.
C'est un fait, j'ai les Arctic Monkeys dans la peau, et ce simple fait retire 83,9% d'intérêt à ce papier. Et j'aime The Car, ce retour sur Terre anachronique, cet OVNI des années 70 période cool funk et cinéma romantique. Alex Turner n'a semble-t-il jamais été aussi proche de réaliser un film. Il aurait dû : c'est sa BO que lui et les autres ont enregistré. Qui les aurait imaginés, au pic de leur gloire à la fin des années 2000, se lancer dans un funk à wah-wah ("I Ain't Quite Where I Think I am"), une soul hyper sexuelle ("Jet Skis on the Moat") ou un blues fantomatique à la Nick Cave ("Sculptures of Anything Goes") ? D'autant plus dur de deviner cette quasi-face B volée à Simon & Garfunkel ("Mr Schwartz", probablement le morceau le moins Arctic Monkeys de toute leur carrière, et y a pourtant du monde en compétition). À ce titre The Car en devient presque schizophrène, l'album étant clairement séparé entre une première moitié plus pop, plus chanson, quand la seconde (dès le morceau-titre, en fait) s'aventure de plain-pied dans la BO de film (le point d'orgue de cette partie, "Big Ideas", que l'on imagine automatiquement en générique de James Bond).
youtube
Si TBH+C était un échappatoire, une fuite en avant maquillée en délire science-fiction et plein de grandes manières, The Car est un disque plus terre-à-terre, presque plus sincère puisqu'il confirme la mue toujours brutale du groupe sans l'habiller d'un concept narratif qui aurait pu faire penser à un simple écart temporaire. C'est donc ça, les Arctic Monkeys en 2022 : ils n'ont pas vraiment tué les anciens, ni les sales gosses, ni les ados boutonneux sous influence des narcotiques du désert californien, ni les grandes rockstars désuètes coiffées à la gomina. Ils cohabitent, mais au profit d'autre chose, d'une cause peut-être plus noble, peut-être plus chiante. Une belle cause, ça il n'y a aucun doute.
Ces grands changements apportent leurs lots de questions sans réponse : si j'aime encore ce qu'ils font, est-ce un signe de changement ? un bon, ou un mauvais ? Mais celle qui met le plus le ravioli en ébullition, c'est celle qui consiste à se demander si j'aimerais autant les Arctic Monkeys, s'ils n'étaient pas les Arctic Monkeys. "Le sont-ils encore ?" demanderont certainement, coquins, les plus sceptiques face à cette nouvelle phase de leur carrière délicieusement pantouflarde. On pourrait considérer que la richesse d'un groupe, d'un artiste fondateur à titre personnel, est une porte d'entrée vers ses influences, ses richesses, et qu'au fond c'est comme ça qu'on découvre sa musique idéale, en suivant cet espèce de fil d'Ariane tissé par ses musiciens favoris, et qu'on détricote à l'envie. Mais quand le groupe en question se transforme, change de peau, quelle valeur conserve cet amour d'adolescent (et donc un peu trop passionné) pour quelque chose qui n'a presque plus rien à voir avec ce qui nous avait séduit au départ ? Est-ce que j'aurais eu quelque chose à cirer de The Car s'il n'avait pas été signé par Alex Turner et sa bande ? En aurais-je ne serait-ce qu'entendu parler ? L'aurais-je écouté avec la même attention ? Et surtout, l'aurais-je autant apprécié si ses géniteurs m'avaient été inconnus au bataillon ? Est-ce qu'aimer un groupe, c'est lui faire confiance quoiqu'il se passe - sans parler de la latitude de notre appréciation propre ?
youtube
D'autant plus difficile à dire aujourd'hui, quelques semaines après sa sortie et n'ayant rien écouté d'autre, toujours très sensible à la force d'attraction que leur musique continue d'exercer sur moi. Pour quelles raisons ? Là est toute la question. Un des lieux communs les plus rincés de la musique consiste à dire qu'on grandit avec celle qu'on a, un jour, aimé. Certaines études récentes affirment carrément que c'est la musique de notre adolescence qui conserve la plus grande influence sur notre cerveau. Un peu comme un surfeur marqué par sa première vague, qu'il aura vécu comme un tsunami, pour finir par chevaucher des monstres trois fois plus gros sans s'en rendre compte. Mais quelle confiance accorder quand ces premiers amours transgressent le souvenir, et deviennent tout-à-fait autre chose ?
On en revient à la question initiale, que je vais peut-être arrêter de poser ici. J'aime ce disque peut-être plus que son prédécesseur, pour ses thématiques plus en phase avec les émotions souhaitées. Pas mal de chroniques évoquent des textes particulièrement abscons, quand je les trouve (sans prétendre capter l'intégralité du sens) très justes et très poétiques. Musicalement on m'a dit que ça ressemblait à Burt Bacharach un peu trop copié (d'après une bonne amie). N'y connaissant rien ça m'a juste semblé très beau, kitsch, élégant, et difficile pour moi de détourner le regard de cette transformation - un peu comme ce vieil ami d'enfance que vous retrouvez par hasard sur Instagram, constatant à quel point sa vie est différente de la vôtre. Vous l'aimez encore ce con, c'est comme si vous connaissiez sa petite poésie interne, celle qui faisait que vous étiez amis sans jamais vous l'expliquer concrètement. La différence, c'est que vous ne le croiserez plus jamais. Mais les Arctic Monkeys, eux, semblent encore vouloir me montrer quelque chose. De différent, encore une fois, comme toujours pourrait-on dire. Une surprise qui n'en est plus une, puisque derrière ces sonorités de crooner endimanché et ces batteries dont on se serait moqué à l'époque de "Brianstorm", c'est bien d'une certaine familiarité dont il s'agit. De vieux copains qu'on recroise et à qui on a envie de ne rien refuser, qu'on parvient encore à comprendre malgré la distance. Une certaine nostalgie, enrobée dans ce qui reste (quand même, et selon mon petit avis) de la très belle musique.
youtube
Prétendre grandir avec un groupe qu’on aime, sous couvert qu’il évolue lui-même, ça peut aussi ressembler à une petite mascarade personnelle, une tentative un peu triste et désespérée de retenir une jeunesse qui s'éloigne inexorablement. C'est un peu ironique, voire même complètement con. Qui suis-je bordel ? Qu’est-ce que l’audace ? Vous avez 4h.
