💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

(forwarding optional)

Aaaaaaa thank you, friend! 💖 This is gonna get messy and lengthy just fyi.

Let's see... I think my two favorite standalone fics to date (that are completed and posted at least) are Treading Water and Fugacious. Both happen to be pieces I wrote for fan events, so maybe those bring something special out of me?

I've talked many times about Treading Water. It's near and dear to my heart because of how many things about it felt experimental — the imagery/water metaphor, my own take on Aryll, using NPCs more, the getting to know someone through traces and impressions (which was the prompt!). It was fun to just follow Revali along from scene to scene as his pride thawed little by little, and everything fell into place so neatly it was almost scary 😅 I remember liveblogging as the word count increased because I simply couldn't believe it! It's still my longest work to date, and while to many 14k is nothing, to me it still is a huge accomplishment. That Aryll lives in my head rent-free with a story of her own, I love her so much.

Now Fugacious... I'll admit, when I saw that my giftee for the Revalink Secret Santa was @ghirahimbo I was a little scared. Steph is a phenomenal fanfic writer, one of the best I've encountered across fandoms, and she single-handedly got me into the ship (and into writing again!), so I wanted to write something to thank her for that. I'd been dying to explore Satori Mountain and its Lord so I figured going with something I truly wanted to write was my best bet! But I didn't really have a plan so I picked the route for the roadtrip and traveled it in-game, taking notes on landmarks and fun tidbits I could use. The problem was I found too many interesting things, so I had to axe a good chunk of them 😭 (RIP to the scene I had planned in Rutile Lake with Link swimming and splashing Revali to tease him). All in all it was a very fun fic to write.

Now, since the ask specifies edits as well and I'm a proud video editor, I'm gonna talk about my favorite MMV! I think we can all agree my best is Mirrors (with Rising Tide as a valiant second best), but today I wanna talk about Crossed Threads.

youtube

This fucking video is a testament to my perseverance and love for my wife. It took me four years to complete. Four years. I almost dropped the project it was too much work — I was getting frustrated, my editing skills had morphed and I didn't have the energy to redo old parts, Sony Vegas gave me the middle finger constantly, and there was so much masking. But I pushed through. I told myself over and over it doesn't have to be perfect, just get it done. And I did and I'm fucking proud of it 💪

Here's Tara's reaction at the time since this was a gift for her:

[20:44] Tara: YOU VILLAIN

I LOVE YOU

YOU WHORE OF BABYLON

I was also glad to give some food to the kyomami crew, since this ship is so criminally underrated. So many people thought I used doujinshi when most of the material used here (save for two images) is 100% canonical!!!!! Gah!!! Go read Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story y'all, it's so fucking good!!!! I love these girls to death!!!!!!

Ahem... anyway. That's all.

If you read all this, you're a real one. Here's a cookie 🍪

#ginneke #writing ask #editing ask #thank you so much for the excuse to ramble （づ￣3￣）づ╭❤️～#whewwww this sure is a post #(if you want me to send you this ask lmk in the comments I don't wanna send it at random and have it be unwanted pressure or something 💕)#(whoever you are I'll send it)#long post

im bored, so im gonna rant about alastor's breakdown scene

deal with it

(i also may have lost the post with most of my info but whatever shut up/j)

WARNING: MAJOR spoilers for for hazbin hotel

if you havent watched it all the way through, id reccomend that-

also speak of sensitive topics such as father issues, mental breakdowns,

i feel like i should say this, i am NOT a psychiatrist, in ANY way shape or form, and im just speaking from prior knowledge and experience, aand also my friend who has studied psychology and all that jazz immensely (say hi to ros! :)

i also make an excess of unnecessary and dumb jokes so if you cant handle that bye i guess (/j)

(will also include random images here and there of him, bcz why not)

okay, so i dont think its that much of a secret that alastor is NOT okay, mentally (and physically, i mean, look at that gash thats not healthy smh)

it could NOT have been made ANY clearer that theres something wrong going on in this mans head, and its... uhm whats the word help ive backed myself in to a corner here

theres more than one s o m e t h i n g thats wrong, i guess, and im here to give my opinion and theory on the matter so uhhhhhh

make sure to SMASH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BUTTON FOR MORE AMAZING CONTENT1!1!1!!/j

okay very dumb and idiotic jokes aside smh, im gonna explore and explain each one of the reasons i think this guy is not okay, starting with

d r u m r o l l

father issues! yayyyyy amazinggggg totally not horrible haha whaatt.. anyways, there are numerous hints that alastor had, at the very least, a very problematic father, and, hey, ever notice how he's more comfortable around women?? and that he was a confirmed 'mamma's boy'? yeah, based on those two things (i only provided two reasons because, haha, i may or may not have lost the post i was using for info) i think we can concur that he had atleast SOME sort of father issues, and not the "oh yeah he's just an annoying goofy fella" kind of father issues

of course, we ALSO have the deal he made, which was brought up briefly in episode 5, and 8

and there i s kind of a funky little debate on who the deal was with, and what it was for, but the two main cantidates are lilith, and roo

and who knows what lilith/roo makes him do, even? ...okay, aside from lilith/roo, who would be the ones making him do things-

i dont know, theres not alot i can say on this matter other than its most likely alastor made a deal with either lilith or roo to save his power or something, and briefly bring up the fact that he probably does have to do some things here and there, and the fact that if it i s lilith he made the deal with, she probably sent him to help out with the hotel, maybe, i dont know

WHEWWWW OKAY THEN lets get in to some of his behaviours that are n o t at ALL good or normal, the way he treats husk and reacts to him 'caring' about his 'friends' wooo yayyyyy

also heres another alastor image so you little grubs(/j) dont get bored at the lack of things to look at woo

lets start with how he treats husk, thats just, thats not nice man dont do that :(

jokes aside though, there HAS to be some reason that he treats him like this, theres no way that its just because he owns his soul- like, unless husk did something reaallyyy bad theres no reason to treat him like that (granted, alastor IS in hell for a reason, and is NOT a normal or good person)

anyway thats it for this section because i really dont have anything and im relying on the wiki and memory alone to get me through this post shush :(

okay lets talk about his reaction to him nearly dying for his 'friends' and actually caring about them

its clear that this man has some sort of issues with caring about people, and there has GOT to be more than one reason why other than "oh no people are gonna think im a softie thats no good :( *has a breakdown musically*" i mean, it COULD be just that one, but i just really dont think it is honestly, i dont really have that diffinitive of a reason, i just really think that something happened that made him n o t want to get attached to people,

and i REALLLYYYY want to know what that reason is in season two

alright, for the last bit of this post, i think we should discuss the fact that he always smiles

we DO know that one of the reasons is that, to him atleast, a smile is a valuable tool, that keeps your friends inspired, and your enemys guessing, and always ensures YOU'RE the one in control

but its HEAVILY implied in this image that there is another reason,

if you observe close enough (not really that close, but hey who has perfect eyesight not me) you can see it looks like his mouth is stitched, and even more so to be literally always smiling so theres a possibility that either lilith or roo is ALSO forcing him to smile

then again it could just be something about him literally not being able to talk about his deal, which is also plausible

...or thats just what he looks like idk im not here to judge his fashion choices

CONGRATULATIONS!! you made it to the end of my stupid post! keep in mind that any and all of this could change at any given point, and i will update it accordingly....if i remember to

i am not using this in any way to condone his actions AT ALL, you shouldent be a cannibal, or a serial killer, or be manipulative (is that the right word???), thats unswag smh, and i am NOT AT ALL a psychologist, or a psychiatrist, once again, i only really know some of these things because my friend rambles about them, and i used to get in to crime and psychology documentaries when i was bored

so i am not at ALL a professional

thanks for reading this shit show of a post

#alastor #hazbin alastor #alastor hazbin #alastor hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #alastor the radio demon #radio demon #hazbin hotel #hazbin

—even if my heart stops beating, you're the only one I need

[ᰔ]↳ pairing; Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu

[ᰔ]↳ wc; 2055 (pretty tame)

[ᰔ]↳ synopsis; Luo Binghe desperately wants a kiss.

↳ a/n; whewwww first oneshot to post on here!!!! Happy late new years! This fic isn't all that bad, and its shorter than I’m used to. There’s mostly just fluff and some humour if you squint hard enough. Some slight dacryphilia and overthinking is present, but it's mostly harmless + I apologize for any errors!! I wrote this in the wee hours and I am not in the right state of mind during that time lmao. I’ll probably post this onto my ao3 as well if I think it’s good enough!

[ᰔ]↳ tags; @sleepyymc

Luo Binghe has been acting strange lately.

On one particular morning, Shen Qingqiu got woken up earlier than he usually does from an important meeting all sect leaders were forced to attend. Something about a big issue going on down in several towns nearby.

Nonetheless, it was urgent and as the chief strategist, Shen Qingqiu had no choice but to go, getting up ready despite Luo Binghe trying to pull him back into bed and pitifully begging him to stay back.

Already in a rush and mood soured from having his sleep ruined like that, Shen Qingqiu only pat his head and told Luo Binghe he’d be back soon before leaving just like that. If only he had looked back, he would’ve been able to see the devastating look Luo Binghe wore as he watched him go.

As expected, the meeting was long and boring, and tiring despite not doing anything but sitting there—typical. Everyone else at the table was just as groggy and annoyed, except for Yue Qingyuan, because of course.

The issue at hand did prove to be a big issue, however, so none of them could brush this aside in hopes of sleeping through the meeting… something Shen Qingqiu is most definitely guilty of. But we won’t speak about it! He just wants to go back home into Binghe’s warm embrace warm bed.

The orange early morning stretches well into the lively afternoon, and only after making sure his disciples were doing alright in their studies did Shen Qingqiu finally went back to the bamboo house, stomach aching for a good meal after having eaten nothing since he woke up. What was the point of him having cultivated past the point of inedia if he’s still going to crave Luo Binghe’s cooking No matter what? Tsk, tsk.

Nothing was too out of the usual when he came back home in high spirits, but something was wrong. Luo Binghe’s demeanor when he came back wasn’t anything too weird… but strange in a way that said nothing but trouble and concern for Shen Qingqiu.

Luo Binghe welcomed him back, had a delicious meal (as always) prepared for him at the table, and was as devastatingly handsome as he’s always been and will continue to be until the end of time. However, something was off; Luo Binghe’s lips seemed to form a small pout whenever Shen Qingqiu wasn’t looking, and he kept inching closer to Shen Qingqiu with an expectant look on his face, further confusing the other. Whenever Shen Qingqiu just raised a brow at him, his shoulders drooped and the light in his eyes dimmed, alarmingly so.

The question burned through his mind well throughout the next day when he rushed to yet another early meeting and came back home to the same sulkiness: What’s wrong? Did something happen while he was gone? Did he do something bad again? Was his expression off while he was eating? But he made sure to give Binghe more praise than he usually does!

This stretched on for a few more days as the meetings continued, and the longer it dragged on, the worse Luo Binghe acted, succeeding in raising Shen Qingqiu’s blood pressure.

Tears!!!

Tears have started coming more often now! Luo Bingmei cries enough times already, but this time even he can tell it’s not just an act to get him to agree to something—they’re real tears! But why!? And since when did his heartbreak points reach 20???

Shen Qingqiu’s frustrations reached it’s the climax when he came home from yet another meeting—one of the last few ones, thank goodness—only to be met with the now-familiar sight of his husband fidgeting at the doorway, giving him that expectant look again after he finished his lovey greetings. He doesn’t doubt that even if he were to give an appropriate answer, Luo Binghe’s lips will start wobbling for no apparent reason, and Shen Qingqiu would rather die than have to be the reason why his husband is going through such a bad place right now, thank you.

“What’s bothering you so much? Come, tell this master.”

Luo Binghe’s brows raised, head tilting to the side like an innocent bastard. “What does Shizun mean?”

Come on, quit beating around the bush!

“You’ve been tiring this master out these past few days with your sulking. What’s going on? Just tell this one already, yeah?”

Shen Qingqiu’s keeps a level head, eyes gentle and urging as he watches as Luo Binghe begins to play with his sleeve.

Then, the most terrible thing happens.

Luo Binghe averts his gaze. No, you don’t understand the severity of this sentence. Luo Fucking Binghe averts his gaze. Something akin to a chill crawls down Shen Qingqiu’s spine, shadows casting over his face with the early signs of nothing good. If Luo Binghe, someone who has no shame whatsoever when it comes to Shen Qingqiu, has to look away before answering a question, then God only knows just how bad this is going to be.

Look at the bastard, he even has the audacity to dust his cheeks pink, like he was truly embarrassed by what he has to say next! Shen Qingqiu is going to pass out.

Luo Binghe’s lips form to say something, but his voice could barely register even when it comes to Shen Qingqiu’s good hearing. “...is… from Shizun…”

Shen Qingqiu takes a step closer, raising a brow. “Speak louder.” He commanded, but not harsh enough to actually start anything.

The pink in Luo Binghe’s cheeks became ever more prominent, and he glanced back at Shen Qingqiu with his lashes lowered as if he were a timid maiden, further driving Shen Qingqiu mad as the dread started kicking in. He spoke a tad bit louder than before, but only a tad.

“Kiss…”

Gosh, is he truly getting so old that his hearing is this bad now? Shen Qingqiu’s eye twitches, and he’s about to apologize and ask him to say that again when the breath gets knocked out of him as a result of someone throwing themselves at him, entrapping him in a bone-crushing embrace. His world turns sideways as they both topple down from the impact, brain malfunctioning too much from the shock to even realize that his hair crown has gone loose, clanking on the floor and letting his hair loose. If anyone else heard him as he let out an undignified yelp like no other, no one will live to ever speak about it.

There’s a heavy weight atop him, arms wrapped tightly around his waist and holding on for dear life while Luo Binghe sobbed in his middle, undoubtedly staining his robes. There are a few muffled ‘shizuuunnn’ and something about anymore, or kisses, but too much is happening for it to properly make way into his brain. It takes a moment for Shen Qingqiu to register what even happened, when the crying even started, and why this was happening.

He wanted to laugh and cry like a madman, what the fuck?

Yet, when he looked down and continued to listen to the pitiful sobbing, added on with how oddly Luo Binghe’s been acting these past few days, Shen Qingqiu’s resolve weakened, instantly regretting not attempting to go around this gentler than he already did. Truly, he’s too weak to this man’s tears… He swallows.

Getting up to sit up as best as he could with a man of a baby weighing him down, he leaned his back against the wall and soothingly pat Luo Binghe’s fluffy head of hair. His voice softened considerably,

“Oh, Binghe… Not again, don’t cry. This master is sorry, alright? Tell me what’s wrong,” He gently urged Luo Binghe to look up at him, tapping his chin but never once pausing the head patting. It was almost laughable how he'd talk like this to the most feared man to ever walk this Earth, but he tucked that thought away for himself.

Ever obedient, Luo Binghe didn’t hesitate to follow those cues, sniffling as he raised his head from the mess of wet tear stains on Shen Qingqiu’s robes. Immediately after taking in the sight, Shen Qingqiu almost regretted ever asking him to raise his head. Almost.

The protagonist is truly the most attractive being to ever exist in this world; even when he wasn’t trying and crying his eyes out, those crimson eyes only grew impossibly prettier as they looked up at him, red-rimmed and glistening with tears. Black, fluffy hair artfully frame his face, his cheeks having blossomed to the perfect shade of pink as tears raced down them, and when his eyes flickered down, those lips were bitten and soft and far too kissable—

Shen Qingqiu clears his throat and focuses back on Luo Binghe’s eyes, embarrassed. He’s about to say something when Luo Binghe beats him to it, a pouty edge to his voice.

“Shizun won’t kiss me anymore…”

“Ah?” Shen Qingqiu responds intelligently. Wait. What? Did he hear that right?

Luo Binghe blinks up at him with those stupidly long lashes, sniffling. “Shizun, you haven’t kissed this husband once in four days and a half,” He says, devastated, like four days was the same thing as a year.

Another tear drops down, his voice beginning to waver, to Shen Qingqiu’s utter horror. He doesn’t even have the mental capacity at the moment to take in the fact that Luo Binghe counted. “Shizun always kissed me before getting out of bed… you won’t even kiss my head or cheek, or even before we retire for the night—Shizun,” He raises himself until he’s completely sitting on Shen Qingqiu’s lap, wrapping his arms around his neck and staring down at him with nothing but desperation.

Oh, the sobbing is coming back, this is no good at all, Shen Qingqiu can feel it. “Shizun, you never spend time with this one anymore… am I not worthy of your love anymore? Is it because of my technique? This one has been worked on it! Or is Shizun tired of me—is that it? Shizun,”

Swallowing his pride and deciding to think, Shen Qingqiu settled a hand on Luo Binghe’s hip, his other hand creeping up the nape of his neck. All before he all but surges up until their lips finally meet, gliding and fitting together like they were made to be the perfect fit. It’s a tad bit salty from tears, but it’s the sweetest he’s ever had at the same time. Even better, Luo Binghe’s lips are softer and warmer than he remembered them to be, and the not-so-foreign sensation of ever kissing his husband like this sets a warm, hollow part of himself he’s never noticed to fill up again.

Oh, jeez. It really has been a good few days, huh? How on Earth did he forget? But really, all that attitude just because of this? Shen Qingqiu internally rolls his eyes. He truly married someone troublesome—the thought makes him smile, and no doubt can Luo Binghe feel it.

There’s a light gasp of exclamation before Luo Binghe all but too eagerly reciprocates the kiss, all his said ‘technique’ thrown out the window as he nipped and licked a little too much, pushing himself impossibly closer as if he wanted the two of them to mend into one thing all together, the warmth spreading onto Shen Qingqiu’s rapidly beating heart.

When Shen Qingqiu pulled away after a hot moment (could that even be called just a kiss? They practically made out!), Luo Binghe tried following, not having had enough just yet, but was stopped by a finger at his lips. Shen Qingqiu looked up at him with a small smile, cheeks flushed as he tried fighting back his embarrassment without his fan. He never thought a misunderstanding quite like this one would ever arise, but here they are.

“All that sulking and trouble for a kiss? Silly, sticky child, you worried me to death! If Binghe had just asked, this husband would have freely given you as many as you wanted.” He raised a hand to push some loose strands away from his face, mood sweet and light. “Ah, and don’t speak so lowly about yourself like that to me again, alright? I don’t want to hear it. I'm sorry for forgetting, it was an honest mistake. I won't do it again."

That all explains all the weird looks and excessive pouting. Who would've thought. In all honesty, he just... never put much thought into it. He had been too caught up in other things and simply forgot, but he didn't mean to!

Luo Binghe’s eyes were shining with nothing but sheer love as they stared down at Shen Qingqiu. He nodded slowly, grasping the hand now wiping the remaining tears and nuzzling into the warm palm, warming Shen Qingqiu’s heart. His voice wasn’t as pouty or timid, but was low as he mumbled, “Don't apologize, Shizun. It's this one's fault for misunderstanding,"

He frowns. "But Shizun is still busy…”

Shen Qingqiu wanted to laugh. “The last meeting is tomorrow. After that, you have me all to yourself.”

Oh, Shen Qingqiu blinked at the same time Luo Binghe’s eyes darkened. He didn’t think before talking.

He… hadn’t meant to say it like that. His fingers twitched against Luo Binghe’s hip, suddenly missing his fan.

A low hum rumbles through Luo Binghe’s chest, the smug smile a harsh contrast to his earlier teary-eyed look. “It’s a promise, then.”

Then, "It has been more than three days, after all. You kept this husband waiting."

“Right…”

To brush it aside, Shen Qingqiu raises his head to peck at his lips again. Chaste but sweet. Luo Binghe deserves all the kisses he can get, after all. Who is he to deny his husband?

Hi! I I know you don’t care about the drama but I just hate the misinformation being spread rn. People on Twitter will take whatever their mutuals say and run with it and even though I’m not a sammy fan I still can acknowledge what happened to her on twt wasn’t right. So a month back when everyone was worshiping sammy on twt she made a coaching service based around the 10k challenge where she would just make some affs for one desire instead of several like her regular coaching she wasn’t charming people to do the challenge it was just loosely based around it via the name which she changed. She also tagged td and viper in the video she made about the 10k challenge but after td ran to twt she removed td from the description even though td was mentioned in the video itself. They claimed she stole and tried to profit off the challenge that td and viper made bc td is black but it was only the 10k challenge in name the coaching was literally the same thing she was doing for every package expect it was focused on one desire instead of several. Then they started calling her transphobic bc she called someone with she/they pronouns in their bio “miss” like it was a witch hunt they even made Twitter circles to discredit her, fat shame her, they even posted pics of her with her family to bash her and they started saying she was a scammer and paying for coaching is dumb etc. It was really bad and messy and people sent her death threats and after that td and her friend started saying the death threat was fake with their “proof” which was saying their twt doesn’t look like Sammy’s but sammy showed her twt dms and proved that it was a real death threat. Sammy tried letting it go but the whole loa twt community kept bashing sammy body shaming her saying if she’s such a master manifester why can’t she manifest being skinny etc. whew this was lowkey really triggering for me bc I had been recovering from my ED so that was whewwww a moment to say the least. Anyways Sammy told her followers to not engage in the drama especially bc td was a minor etc but there’s two annoying bitches on twt that be under every sammy hate comment defending her they’re hella dumb and annoying lmfaooo but I digress. The situation ended but loa twt kept making sammy into a joke etc and there was hate accounts created about sammy one is called “caliyah Meeks” and all they do is shit on sammy. Then a YouTuber made a video basically shitting on sammy presumably for clout bc that vid got 4k views and her other videos Barely reached 100 views. This account was in communication with the sammy hate account on twt and that account used the aiva situation to bash sammy and use it as a reason to say she’s awful yet that same person couldn’t even tell their 30+ thousand followers to affirm for Aiva and all the other black content creators impacted?? That shit is madddd weird! So tbh I can understand why she feels that it’s a setup bc they kept their foot on her neck even after she left twt not to mention this behavior from the hackers is something she doesn’t condone and has never encouraged and tbh it came as a shock something like this would happen bc sure ppl would defend her when they were being vicious to her on twt but for her followers to try and take down other channels??? And unprovoked at that???? It’s just out of nowhere and I’m sure she just like many others are surprised with the mermaid gang hacker cult that’s happening bc it was so random like even in the fb group everyone is chill af yk? All ppl do is just manifest and give out tips and success stories no drama at all. She actually did address the situation in her YouTube channel community tab and she’s trying to find out the rest of the impacted channels to try and get their subscribers back and told the mermaid gang to affirm that the people who did this gets exposed and that the people get their channels back so if you or anyone else know of the other channels please spread the word so we can help them gain subscribers!!!!! This situation is serious and we need to affirm at least. Sorry this is so long.

ima put that on my reading log for english class now worries 🫶🏽 (it’s a jokey joke)

but no i never see bullying or especially death threats as acceptable like it’s so childish. imagine telling someone to harm themselves or just saying harsh things to them when they haven’t even said anything like that to u. that’s something that a lot of people need to work on.

A3Day Extended Commentary: CL “ALPHA” (2021)

DISCLAIMER - An Album a Day is my exploration into the Korean music scene. This blog, just like my podcast, will cover mainstream, indie and some underground artists within the scene and provide both factual and opinionated commentary. The biggest benefit to sharing my thoughts this way is that it will hopefully expose you to more great music and exploration of your own.

I have -- WE... we have waited, Blackjacks and GZBs.

Arguably one of the most long-anticipated solo returns in all of K-pop, multi-hyphenate artist Lee Chaelin (CL) globally released a full-bodied, 35-minute album entitled “ALPHA” on October 20, 2021 from her own label, Very Cherry, in conjunction with Sony. And y’all, it sounds like nothing we have ever heard from CL before.

Let me fangirl for a minute. MY BITCH IS BACK. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN, PEASANTS!!! WHEW!!! *Gross sobs* WHEWWWW BABY WE WAAAAAAITED UGGGGGGHHHHHH. We ain’t know what the hell to expect, CL? Eh? Not a damn clue? Tracks been all over the place for years, not a damn clue of what to expect was really revealed! HOW’D YOU HOLD THE HAND FOR SO LONG?! THAT’S ALPHA SHIT, I’M GONNA VOMIT FROM ENTHUSIASM~~~

*Clears throat.*

Distance was made fully from idoldom. This is undeniable. She is not under the thumb of the machine (that once was and is now reorganized), that of the Big Three. She is not on the fence between artistic representation. She is 30 years old, and anyone who’s lived long enough to get into and/or surpass this decade of life knows that you step into your cu- I mean your self awareness, in new ways. If you missed the memo when she did “Hello Bitches” and “Doctor Pepper” (both in 2015); and if you missed per-my-last-email reminders with everything that was done from then until now, well... mama’s letting you know for damn sure that she’s grown-grown.

The track list, as listed from Wikipedia, is still updating credits at the time of this blog post. I believe it’s always important to give a nod to the team behind the vocals, ya know? The song lyrics, the rap verses, are nothing without a composition to suit it and talented ears to engineer the sound to perfection.

In context of sound, “ALPHA” is warm and structured nicely. There are production choices that are boomy (big on low end sounds) and boxy (big on midrange tone) but this album moves, bish. You’ve heard me talk about musical movement before but for the unacclimated: each performance -- both CL and music on its own -- emotes. There is a feeling that ebbs and flows appropriately from one track to another. Structuring an album to ride from start to finish without skips is already an art as it is, so you can’t fail the artist and the listener by tossing any ol’ shit together, especially pieces of work from an artist notoriously known for using her mother tongue (Korean) with her second language, English. “ALPHA” wins in this area.

As far as the artist goes, CL doesn’t depend much on low octave vocal stacking, as she maintains the same level of vocal power and tone through most tracks we’ve heard her on over the course of her 14-year-long career. However, there are moments of nice effects on the vocals. So let’s get into these tracks, non-Korean speakers. I won’t talk too-too long, I don’t want to impede upon your own vibes.

1. Spicy -- fun to nod your head along to and say the bits of relevant English

Albeit that this is the first single consumers received from this album, it’s the third we’re familiar with. Much like its sibling “Hwa,” it was a choice. Truth be told, this song ain’t for Us (a...every song isn’t for the majority or other minority groups in other countries, lol) and I respect the hell out of that. It’s for the Asian community, specifically South Koreans, to feel that swag, that drip, and all the other pop culture terms for instilling cultural pride within oneself. Bringing in Baauer to handle the production gives it that dance bass/bounce that is needed.

2. Lover Like Me -- the song on the soundtrack of your life post-breakup that you’ll later hear and memories won’t hurt as deeply

See my review here.

3. Chuck -- the track that you won’t understand until you read the lyrics in your own language and then go, “Ohhhh. Hmm. Okay.”

Nothing like calling out fakers. The word “Chuck” is the sound of the Korean word for “pretend” [Romanized: Cheok] and she’s being playful with the liars and fakers trying to reach her. If you’re not a person who believes err’body has at least one hater, then it might not resonate too much. When you’re 76+ listens into the album, this might be the one you’ll skip over regularly. Might.

4. Xai -- the song that CL decided to snap about grown folk activities

This is the standout track of the entire album. It’s foreplay, without an over-saturation of sex. It sounds airy and her tone is commanding but vulnerable. The vocal arrangement is relaxing and I will be replaying this until my ears bleed, thank yew.

5. Let It -- Another life soundtrack song. Insert the appropriate scene in your head from the film, TV show, or M/V you exist within

“Don’t worry! I can just flow away, always do what I feel like.” Refreshing, and about as youthful as CL sounds anywhere on this album, it has the capacity to take you back to 2NE1′s “Happy” or “Gotta Be You” (both in 2014) with the cadence of her rap, the song structure, and the live instrumentation.

6. Tie a Cherry -- the track where she’s reminding y’all WTF she is

Endurance is essential in the entertainment industry and CL’s letting you know that “no one can see what [she] can see,” as it comes to this next phase in her career. You know what? I have to agree with her from that Owen Meyer’s piece for Billboard from earlier this year, where she said, “I know exactly where I’m going, what I want to do. Of course it’s not going to be the same.” This doesn’t sound like 2NE1, past features, nor does it sound like the other singles she’s released just a few weeks before this album. This track is placed perfectly in the middle and creates a good transition for the remainder of the ride.

7. Paradise -- trap, trap, throwaway Rihanna track

Could’ve gone to Ri and it would’ve worked just as well. Could’ve gone to Migos, Desiigner, or Future and I wouldn’t have complained. As a Westerner, the production style of trap music is immediately identifiable. I’m not mad at this song at all, I can only hope that you have the proper headphones to hear this in its full glory. It bangs. The vocal refrain and the ad libs is it. “My God, that’s a paradise!”

8. My Way -- the song that she tells you off-rip that she’s doing things her way

This genuinely could’ve been named “Alpha” and I’m not unconvinced that it wasn’t the name at some point. It feels like the personification of the album’s title. This shit is gritty, features a rumbling bass, and accents the vocal effects with traditional Korean instruments. It belongs on a/your workout playlist for the days you need the adrenaline boost, truly.

9. Siren -- you think you’ve heard this song before and that’s intentional

The VOCAL ARRANGEMENT!!!! Listen. No, really listen, at least this time it’ll be easy because the song’s fully in English. You hear that piano over a gurgle? You hear how it sounds like the end of her lines travels around you? What about those programmed strings? Oh oh, that little construction sound in the back? This song was crafted to sound like indie pop tracks that you catch a snippet of in a commercial or promo video and you’re clawing to find it again. It’s beautiful, the construction of it. She’s trying to salvage a relationship but I’m telling you this is your guilty singing pleasure playlist entry.

10. Hwa -- South Korean flexing for South Koreans.

We don’t/won’t touch songs that will hit different for the core demographic.

11. 5 Star -- the unexpected summer love bop

Chile, just tell us when you and That Man are marrying and let us join via Zoom. Thank you, Tablo, for lending your pen on this one.

My Official Ranking

K-pop fans, on a scale of 1 to 5 where 5′s essential listening and 1′s not worth mentioning, the A3Day ranking on CL’s debut album is 5. While hoping there would’ve been more to the writing, the album is an impressive return that delivered nothing expected to an audience well-aware of who she is.

Connie Springer x (Curly hair) POC Reader: Hair Appreciation

A/N: Whewwww first post would you look at that, throwing this into the void.

MODERN AU Characters: Connie Springer, (You)

Show: Attack on Titan

Hair Appreciation “Aww come on Y/N, please?” Connie begged. He had always been fond of your hair and over the six months of you two being together he noticed your hair routine. Every two weeks you take your mini twists out, detangle, wash it and put it right back into the mini twists. Connie knew he only had two chances to touch your hair, before you got in the shower and after you got out and you just got out from washing your curls.

“No.” You say firmly walking towards your room wrapped in a towel with a smaller towel draped over your head to reduce excess dripping from all the water your hair was still holding.

‘I just want to braid one section babe!” Connie whined, dragging his feet behind you. You chuckled, you’ve always loved how much he loves your hair and how he stares at you in aw when you have it out in the open and free but something about him touching wasn’t wrong but you just thought that it would be odd. The thought of someone else other than you touching your hair threw you for a loop since you’ve been doing it yourself for so long now.

“Conz, it’s just hair, why do you want to get your hands in it so badly, I don’t do that to you,” You argue, trying to bring logic to the conversation.

“Number one, there is no hair for you to touch Y/N,” He mocks, “And number two, your hair is just so wow! Before you I’ve never known someone who had hair like yours it’s so spunky and unique! And it kinda sits like a crown when you don’t do anything with it,” He gushes. He couldn’t but you felt your cheeks grow hot with his shower of compliments about the thing you fight with the most bi-monthly. Whenever someone wanted to touch your hair it was only out of shallow curiosity, never out of admiration and Connie truly admired you and your hair was a part of you. With your heart full you sigh and give a soft smile. You looked at Connie’s twinkling eyes and blurted, “Well come on,” You take the small towel off your head, “My hair will dry out, hurry up.”

Connie’s eyes widened and he sprung towards you. He stopped suddenly, hesitant to touch your curls since-- it would be the first time. As if he wanted to savour this moment, he moved slowly. His fingers lost tension and became delicate, making sure not to hurt you or tug too much and at last, he touched the strands of a clump of your hair from behind your ear and gently ran the pads of his fingers down to the ends. This was a new feeling for him, he had never felt hair move like that between his fingers before and it sent butterflies to his stomach. “Your hair is so...pretty,” He said so softly to himself. You watched him stare so intensely at that one curl he held in his hand as if he had opened this new door to you, he was completely hypnotized by your texture. A chuckle slipped out of you that broke his gaze and he looked at you, a little confused not knowing what to do next.

“You wanna learn how to twist it?” You suggested tenderly in fear he might tangle your hair all over again if he braided it.

Connie didn’t speak but he nodded like an eager child in reply to you. You smiled and took a section of your hair from in front your ear proceeded to teach him.

I am here to link you something I'm sure you must have seen already, but if you have not... well, it'd be a crime and it needs to be rectified: egavinote @ twitter, specifically their posts /status/1368205918534389760 & /status/1355533094472671233. (If there is a better way to send links over tumblr asks, I am clueless about it. OOPS)

WHEWWWW. 🥵 Thanks for sharing these! For anyone else who wants to check these out: 1 & 2

I love the idea of sleepy, just-rolled-out-of-bed Nanami. But Nanami all dressed up, looking like a fancy gentleman, makes my brain stop working. WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE?! 😩❤️

katz-kaz replied to your post: arizona and florida take my energy!!!!

Wait what’s going on in FLA? Is the governorship still up for grabs?

the senate is in a hand recount and nelson has a attorney there who handles recounts and doesn’t fuck around pretty confident nelson won, and gillum’s race just dropped to 0.4 which means he’s in an automatic machine recount but there’s been a ton of shit around missing provisional ballots with a few people trying to count them also saying via twitter they’re pretty sure gillum has the votes so like whewwww a lot

30-40 for Splattershot Sundae

Whewwww this is a big one, sorry it took so long! After the first answer we’re going beneath a cut.

30. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?

All of Splattershot Sundae, (Simon, Jill, Toda, and Bato) get a fair bit of exercise when they go out and battle.

Both Simon and Bato do some stretches before they start battling, but not longer than a few minutes, Toda considers the first battle his ‘warm up’ and Jill claims she’s always ‘warmed up’.

31. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing?

These characters are 15-16, they don’t drink yet.

32. What do they dress like? What sorta shops do they buy clothes from? Do they wear the fashion that they like? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear makeup? What’s their hair like?

As trendy squids do, they stop by places like Jelly fresh to get most of their clothes, and on average wear what they feel comfortable in.

Simon likes to wear jackets and doesn’t usually have too too much skin exposed. They carry a pair of gloves in their pocket as well. They sleep in a T-shirt and soft fluffy pants. Sometimes they wear pink nail polish.

Jill wears whatever looks ‘cool’, and likes leather, and other durable materials like denim. When she goes to bed she wears shorts, socks, and a shirt. She doesn’t like makeup, she thinks it feels weird.

Toda has a preference for long-sleeved shirts, particularly the layered designs, and is never seen without his favorite Squidvader Cap. He sleeps in an old t-shirt and a pair of shorts. His fashion sense could be best described as “comfortable”. He’s never really worn makeup, but it’s not something he’s opposed to.

Bato likes to wear long-sleeved button -up shirts- not ideal for Turf War, but he makes it work- and usually wears a sweatband to keep the sweat out of his eyes. He sleeps in an old and faded pair of pajamas. He doesn’t wear makeup regularly.

33. What underwear do they wear? Boxers or briefs? Lacey? Comfy granny panties?

We’re not describing the underwear of 16 year olds, and we’re gonna guess that this section was picked either randomly, or for some of the other questions!

34. What is their body type? How tall are they? Do they like their body?

Simon is on the shorter, almost stocky side, which they sort of like, but they wish they were just a bit taller.

Jill is built very similar to Simon, as they’re semi-identical. She has a little more meat on her and is perfectly fine in her body.

Toda is a bit taller than the twins, and is built a little leaner. He’s pretty happy with his body, though he jokes that he’ll outgrow Bato one of these days.

Bato is a few inches taller than Toda, and has a more solid build. He’s perfectly happy in his body.

35. What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure?

Simon’s guilty pleasure is that they like My Little Pony, they miss the times when they could just say that they like it without any negative connotations. They still have some My Little Pony Pajama bottoms.

Jill doesn’t have much guilt about what she does, and is very open about what she enjoys doing. Her most unguilty of these pleasures is eating chocolate so fast that she gets smears all over her face.

Toda’s very unguilty pleasure is going to the ice cream shop for Mochi; he calls it his guilty pleasure, but there’s no guilt in it at all. He sometimes gets it from the store too, but it’s usually not the same.

Bato’s guilty pleasures are the Squidmas movies on what is basically this world’s version of the Hallmark channel, which he used to watch with his Mom when he was little. His unguilty pleasure used to be playing Pokemon games with Toda, but nowadays he’s too focused on turf wars to really pick them back up.

36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?

Simon’s really good at battles, obviously, and they take great enjoyment in playing. They are an average singer.

Jill plays MMOs in what spare time she has, and dabbles in ‘the arts’ like doodling and writing and, what do you know, singing. She’s pretty good at it.

Toda’s hobby is playing rhythm games such as DDR and Crypt of the Necrodancer, and he is very good at them. He’s also a decent singer.

Bato doesn’t really have a hobby outside of turf war, but he has a good singing voice. He and his Moms sometimes like to sing along with and harmonize to songs on the radio.

37. Do they like to read? Are they a fast or slow reader? Do they like poetry? Fictional or non fiction?

Simon used to make poetry when they were younger, but they sort of fell out of the habit. They tend to read things over twice, once as a quick skim, and then the second time to really let it soak in.

Jill used to be an avid reader before she got into video games, and has a nice full bookshelf of fictional stories, usually adventure stories. She’s a fast reader.

Toda was mostly indifferent to reading when he was younger, but after doing some online searches to learn more about his monochromacy, he started to do a lot more reading on other disabilities and other eye conditions, from things like deafness and allergies to heterochromia and supertasters. He reads fairly slowly, wanting to make sure he doesn’t skip over too much.

Bato read a lot more when he was younger, but hasn’t had as much time for it as of late. He reads pretty quickly, and usually prefers fictional stories, though he does enjoy reading articles and other things that Toda occasionally links to him.

38. What do they admire in others? What talents do they wish they had?

Simon admires other peoples high tolerance for gross stuff, and they wish they could tolerate next to any form of gunk or germs, but they’re just… scared.

Jill values the strength in others, emotional and physical. Sometimes she wishes she was more alert and less Naive. Acting would also be a cool thing for her to nail down, but she hasn’t set aside the time yet.

Toda admires people’s dedication to the things that they love, and the amazing things that come from it. He wishes, above all, that he could see in color.

Bato admires unconditional love in all its forms, and strives to show such love to the people around him. He often wishes that he was better at dealing with guilt, in both small and bigger cases.

39. Do they like letters? Or prefer emails/messaging?

Splattershot Sundae are big time texters, so fast, they use it to keep in touch and schedule meetups all the time.

40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert?

Simon has a cup of tea most mornings to wake up, though they might upgrade to coffee when they’re older.

Jill doesn’t need caffeine, but she loves it, having a caffeinated soda at breakfast. Sometimes, when it’s a big day, it’s Mountain dew.

Toda generally saves caffeine for a little later in the day, but on cold mornings he sometimes makes hot chocolate with breakfast.

Bato doesn’t really need the caffeine to stay alert, but once in a while he’ll have a cup of tea in the morning.

🍒New year, new goals 🥰! Will, at least I'm trying 😁! This year, I'm hoping to get started with my road to a nursing career. I'm taking one more pre-req classes then I'll be able to apply to the program. While working on that, I'll be volunteering in one of the big hospital here in town and I'll be assigned in the oncology and rehab department. I'll be volunteering for at least 6 months once a week for 4 hours, and I think it's pretty reasonable plus it'll give me ample time to start networking with people in the hospital. And while volunteering and waiting to get into the program , I'll also be starting my CNA licensure schooling on the weekend! Whewwww! Ok, breath hahaha! . . . 🍒This year is going to be busier than 2018, but I'm ready to slowly but surely hit those goals! It's never too late to work on things that we want to achieve! Hope this post somehow inspires you guys 😊. . . . . . . . . #happynewyear2019 #beautypeople #bulletjournal #bulletjournaling #cutiedoki #egglesscake #loveyourself #beautyblogger #skincarecommunity #beautycommunity #abcommunity #kbeauty #kbeautyblogger #skincare #makeup #bblogger #skincareroutine #instaskincare #instabeauty #skincareblogger #kankenbackpack #discoverunder10k #btsfan #btsjhope #vegetarian #crueltyfreebeauty #proudpinay #crazyasian #gainesvillefl #gogators (at Gainesville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsejhCOnnC2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j6ciwd3vbcpi

Acid, assassins and Elon Musk's wang: 2018's weirdest piece of celebrity gossip

New Post has been published on http://gr8gossip.xyz/acid-assassins-and-elon-musks-wang-2018s-weirdest-piece-of-celebrity-gossip/

Acid, assassins and Elon Musk's wang: 2018's weirdest piece of celebrity gossip

The oddball trio of Elon Musk, Azealia Banks and Grimes have starred over the last weeks a surreal story on social media that features Russian assassins, penis size and Tesla stock.

This bizarre soap opera is a bit convoluted, so we’ll start by presenting our cast of characters.

Elon Musk: Inventor, billionaire. The closest thing we have to a real-life Lex Luthor. He doesn’t like worker unions. He’s dating Grimes.

Grimes: Real name, Claire Boucher. Pop star, record producer and nerd. She likes space. She’s dating Musk.

Azealia Banks: Musician. She once suggested a gang rape would do Sarah Palin good. Fought Russell Crowe. Lost.

This demented tale started last June, when former/current/we-don’t-really-know besties Banks and Grimes agreed to meet up for a musical collaboration.

well i’ve started like 4 beats for her now lol she has to come to la to finish

— Grimes (@Grimezsz) July 31, 2018

According to Banks, Grimes invited her to fly out to LA to stay at Musk’s place to work on their joint project. Banks supposedly arrived at Musk’s home early on Friday, August 10 and left on the night of Sunday, August 12.

The result of this creative reunion was a weird reality show of sorts, with Azealia documenting on social media how she spent the entire weekend not doing any music but waiting for Grimes to show up.

“Literally been sitting at Elon Musk’s house alone for days waiting for Grimes to show up and start these sessions,” Banks wrote in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

“I have no idea when she is coming back. I’m going to wait one more day then I’m going to go home.”

Banks said in one entry that the invitation could probably have been just “some weird threesome sex shit to begin with” and described in another post her experience at Musk’s mansion as a real-life version of the horror film “Get Out”.

Azealia Banks exposing Elon Musk for tweeting while on Acid.. while she was waiting for Grimes at her home … whewwww lord 😳 pic.twitter.com/i9BXWWrLAD

— sadhoeflo (@sadhoeflo) August 13, 2018

“I waited around all weekend while grimes coddled her boyfriend for being too stupid to know not to go on twitter on acid.”

Banks’ comments could’ve just been considered extravagant entertainment if she hadn’t also nonchalantly accused Musk of possible investment fraud. Yep.

Over the last two weeks, we’ve covered how Elon Musk is hell-bent on a plan to take Tesla out of the stock market and into private hands again. When he first announced the move on Twitter on August 7, he claimed he had “funding secured” for the mammoth operation, pushing the price of Tesla stock through the roof.

Many critics consider this mysterious funding claim as nothing but a ruse to artificially inflate the price of the company. In fact, Musk has been the target of various lawsuits since he made the controversial tweet.

With Bank’s new allegation, she’s certainly not doing him any favours. The rapper not only said that Musk was tweeting on acid, but she also claims the CEO in fact, didn’t have any secured funding.

“I saw him in the kitchen tucking his tail in between his legs scrounging for investors to cover his arse after that tweet,” she told Business Insider.

Even more alarming for Tesla investors, Banks claimed, “I didn’t hear any specifics but I could hear that he was scrambling because he in fact – didn’t have any funding secured.”

Understandably, Musk has maintained so far that he has never met or interacted with Banks, while a Tesla spokesperson stated the rapper’s claims were “complete nonsense”.

Now until this point, this story is batshit crazy. But fear not, it gets much, much weirder.

Although Banks called Grimes a “dirty-sneaker-inbred-out of the woods” during her Instagram rant fest, a hilariously surreal conversation recently popped up on social media portraying them as close friends again. Perhaps too close.

The conversation allegedly happened before Banks’ weekend in LA, but the reliability of the screenshots or the timeline here are highly questionable.

Entering now the territory of completely unverifiable gossip, many Twitter accounts, most notably @Rashida, posted some screenshots of a surreal conversation between Grimes and Banks where, among other things, they talk about the size of Musk’s penis and casually mention some Russian assassins for good measure.

In one point of the conversation, Grimes supposedly texts to Banks almost out of the blue, “e (sic) has a giant dick”.

Banks responds with surprise and curiosity, making a very peculiar assessment, “Lol but ur skinny ur coochie is probably tight everything probably feels big to you”.

Then the conversation turns almost magically to other topics until Grimes casually drops an international conspiracy to murder Musk.

“Like wow the russians want elon dead,” she texted while talking about how “open-minded” her boyfriend was.

Today, it’s not even clear if Grimes and Musk are together anymore. Just 24 hours after the surreal Russian assassin/penis chat went viral, the indie musician and the CEO appear to have stopped following each other on social media.

In a period of just over a week, Telsa stock tumbled down nearly 20%, prosecutors could have found more evidence in their case against Musk for investment fraud and he might’ve lost his girlfriend.

Rough week, eh? Well, this is a story that just keeps on giving.

Two days ago, Musk deleted his Instagram account, while Banks claimed on the same platform that his lawyers have seized her phone. In a series of whacky posts she has now deleted, the musician says Musk’s attorney blackmailed her and demanded her to turn in her phone so they could “delete evidence”.

Furtermore, Banks claims Musk paid off her own attorney to take her mobile away. According to her desperate pleas, the only thing she wants at this point is to have her phone back with all the ‘quality nudes’ in it so she can just go back home in peace.

In the now-deleted story, she also invokes to the heavens, “Honestly, what the fuck is even going on.”

Afterwards, she announced she’s finally leaving LA without her mobile because she couldn’t “stay here for anymore of this shit”.

That weekend seemed to have cost Musk his girlfriend and a hefty loss over the price of Tesla stock, but Azealia Banks surely hasn’t come unscathed at all.

Now somehow, someway, the rapper has involved herself in an invetigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Aside from having to buy a new phone.

After all this I wonder… is that Banks/Grimes collaboration still on?

You up?

Lets Talk sync license during Black Panther Week!

As of the time of this blog post, It’s Wakanda WEEK! YES! Black Panther will be in all theaters by Friday, February 16th! The movie is expected to have one of the biggest opening weekends for a super hero film EVER. What a time to be alive! Over on my private page, I do a series called “Random Tuesday” where I discuss the law, life, gym and all things random. Over the last few weeks, I have been exploring music licensing and in particular this week, Synchronization licenses. Synchronization basically means to pair music or other audio with visuals—TV commercials, films and even radio commercials though there’s no visual there. Generally there are two licenses involved in the sync license scenario, the licensing of the underlying composition and the sound recording or master. In most indie artist situations, the artist is both the owner of the master and underlying composition. However there are situations where there are different owners. For example, Whitney Houston re-recorded, Dolly Parton’s “I will always love you.” So in that scenario, Dolly Parton is the owner of the underlying composition and Whitney Houston along with her record label would own the master recording of that song. Whitney’s cover was also used in scenes of Whitney’s film, The Bodyguard. For movies, music supervisors are responsible for clearing music for use in film scenes. So for the Bodyguard, the music supervisor would obtain a license from Dolly Parton for the underlying composition and a master use license from Whitney Houston’s record label.

While the Copyright Royalty Board determines and sets mechanical license rates (physical copies and permanent digital downloads-9.1 cents -1.75, depending on song length) after the first use of a songwriter’s music, Synchronization licenses has no set compulsory rate for neither the underlying composition nor master recording. It’s a matter of negotiations. Some factors considered are: length of use (how many seconds of the song is used), what key scene is it used for, popularity of the song, and the overall music budget. Obviously all of these factors work to together to determine how much an artist should charge for the use of their music in a film. The bigger the film, the bigger the budget and chance for publicity for one’s music. Some of the highest synchronization licenses were earned for music featured in commercials that aired during Super Bowl. Sync licenses can vary from a few hundred dollars to in the millions.

Kendrick Lamar is the executive producer for the Black Panther sound track and highly likely that many songs from the soundtrack will be featured throughout the film and likely the ending credits-SYNC MONEY! I would LOVE to see the terms of that agreement! Whewwww! In addition to sync, the film and music will generate public performance royalties as its being played throughout movie theaters around the world. As an Indie Artist, it’s imperative to have updated metadata(identifying information-music genre, contact info, producer, etc.) in your music so that music supervisors can easily contact you with licensing opportunities. At end of this film be sure to check out the beginning and ending credits to find out who the music supervisor was. In fact, any indie artist that went to a movie that thought their music would fit should be taking notes of the music supervisors and following their social media platforms if they have them. Stay tuned for the next blog post regarding Black Panther and music licensing on Random Tuesday next week!
