Lokius + a S2 mid season summary 😅

I’m sort of new to ouat, could you recommend blogs to follow? (Thank you in advance)

hiii, this is a wonderful question because there are so many great blogs that deserve recognition!! 💗💐🌷

1. @cptainjones - if you’re looking for analyses that unlock the middle school greek mythology geek in you, this is the place to be!! + every point made on that blog is spot on and truly beautiful; mari [hiii] is also a wonderful writer whose fics have quotes that you can print out and hang on your wall.

2. @ceilings-plaster - one of the best blogs for gif sets that look like they were sent by god; forget trudging through endless gifsets that weren’t made well, this is the blog for the best ones!! in addition to that, the tagging system is wonderful [and so is the blog runner hiiiii darling]

3. @/mirosango - in all my years of reading fanfic [ivylakes on ao3 btw!], i’ve never read such beautiful and gut wrenching as the kind penned by this blog. i’m not one for notifications, but i specifically subscribed to them because every chapter is too good to miss.

4. @lizardthelizard - if you’re an august booth girlie in any capacity, whether it be his character or those connected to him, you need to waltz on over to this blog; from incredibly penned analysis to a deeper look into one of the most complex characters in this show, there’s something for everyone. also, libby is a light in this cold dark world 💡

5. @/dinneratgrannys- if you told me the blog runner’s professional job was as a graphic designer, i’d wholeheartedly believe you. there is NEVER a miss on that blog, every gif feels 3D to me and is made with the passion of someone who loves this show.

6. @agirlwithoutmagic - chelsea is TRULY the sweetest person alive while also creating posts that force you to think deeper about the characters you love + her takes are absolutely legendary to me and ykw…they’re always right on the money!!

7. @caliburn-the-sword - we don’t interact as much, but if you want to feel silly while also falling deeper in love with this circus of a show, traipse on over to this blog! the posts are so fun to read + make you realise how many little moments you miss from the show when not looking at every screen cap.

@vermilious replied to (x):

same, i love hearing how other people discovered my favorite artists. (it’s funny you mention taylor cause that’s the other favorite artist i was thinking of haha) my other main blog is actually @swiftrecords​ which is basically my taylor only stuff although rn the front page is covered in tp but it’s 4am so i’ll have to fix that tomorrow)

“how ya doin’?” a cappella is still one of the greatest things ever. and same they’re like chamelons. i’m so proud of them. we don’t have a lot of great performers in our generation (especially ones with good live vocals) but they are so good and I always feel so proud to be a fan of theirs.

no i get exactly what you mean. i’ve been a singer since I was 6 years old and one of the most important lessons was to have a build up in the song. you can’t start off on level 8 belching and just stay there - eventually that level 8 will become a level 3 for you because people will get used to it. and Little Mix knows how to do a build up and make it count. not all songs have to be power vocals. it takes more talent to hit a high note quietly than hitting it loud

yeah it’s kinda like if you want your answer to be “10” in a formula every time that’s great but each formula starts with a different number along with the letters and if you have a 2 in one formula but a 5 in another formula you have to find different numbers for those letters to get 10. you can’t just apply the same formula to every artist. especially since the industry changes so much

the themes every week made it hard enough for us, the audience, to get to know each artist (let alone little mix) but then it seemed like they were putting on dated stuff on everyone cause “well that worked 2 years ago” but it’s like “yeah… that was 2 years ago” and you know 2 years in the real world is like 10 years in hollywood

i’m so freaking thankful they won / they were so shocked too it breaks my heart cause you just know they thought they completely lost i mean no groups had ever won before let alone an all girl group. it still makes me cry when i watch the season over. AND watching them talk to each other and hang out before they were even an official group is just so cute i’m glad we have those clips.

dude i’m like the queen of writing essays as responses so you don’t have to apologize to me cause like i get it haha (also i apologize to other people when i do it too cause like idk sorry for making you read so much)

if you wanna read more stories of how people from the fandom got into LM I started thread about it here a while back :) loads of people shared their journey and it’s been awesome! (and yay for taylor! just followed -from my main blog :)

totally agree with hyd acapella still being ICONIC. this video is of the things that got me into the fandom too. whenever they do sth like that in interviews and such you can see how shook ppl are, cause it’s so rare and incredible! I feel ed sheeran has this kind of talent too, wish the girls had as much chance to shine as him cause really they’re insanely talented underrated humans

oh so cool you’re a singer! all I say is purely from a spectator pov, so it’s great to get your take on it. the build up can be so satisfactory, as well as switching notes up live constantly, playing in different areas of their voices and harmonies.

same, so glad and thankful they won! goes to show what people want, and how there was more of them wanted to be heard. themed weeks are so silly imo, especially when the artist doesn’t have the creative freedom to at least make the theme their own.

yess! the clips of their friendship evolving through x factor are so sweet! I’m thinking of doing a gifset of that soon. I’m sure they already exist out there, but having been in the fandom for 2 years, I rarely see old-school content. and idk about you, but for as happy as I am with the incredible amount and quality of edits/gifs/text posts the fandom makes for every new content we get, I also get a bit tired of my dash revolving around the same ‘new’ event on a loop? like I enjoy things better when they’re sprinkled between other stuff, so it doesn’t all mush together and feeling like you’re reblogging the same thing times 10 (btw I totally know everyone wanting to blog about sth new in their own way is normal and completely okay. this is just me being annoyingly picky)
