OH MY GOD OC SELF INSERT OC X CANON ALL THE WORST!!!!

Just Dance songs I think the drama kids would kill

Bear in mind, I haven’t really played Just Dance in years - we lost the disc while moving house, still have the case - so I just kinda looked up songs on YouTube or went off what I remember dancing along to.

Mainly for my very dear friend and mutual @onyx-plutos-moon. By all means please correct me or add to this, I crave your expertise! <3

Solos

Kevin: Bad Romance by Lady Gaga (extreme) as suggested by Onyx - rewatched it and he is absolutely right, this is the type of thing Kevin pulls out with some kinda “I’m a little rusty, I don’t think I remember this one” comment first and then flawlessly executes the entire thing - or Butter by BTS (extreme)

Caitlyn: Primadonna by Marina & the Diamonds or Applause by Lady Gaga (either normal or extreme) or Circus by Britney Spears (extreme)

Josie: Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez or Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) by ABBA

Trevor: Rasputin by Boney M or Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley - he’s not sorry

Duos

Kevin and Josie: You’re the One That I Want from Grease or Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo (couple version) - again suggested by Onyx, can’t imagine how Josie manages to twirl him because he’s almost 7’0 but good luck to her

Kevin and Caitlyn: Timber by Pitbull ft. Kesha or Worth It by Fifth Harmony (mashup) or Cake By the Ocean by DNCE (earphones version) - they definitely do this with actual earphones and get tangled up at some point

Kevin and Trevor: 24K Magic by Bruno Mars or Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas

Josie and Caitlyn: SOS by ABBA or California Gurls by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg

Josie and Trevor: September by Earth, Wind & Fire or Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

Caitlyn and Trevor: Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen or C’mon by Kesha

Group

I couldn’t pick so have all the ones that came to mind:

Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show

Mamma Mia by ABBA

This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Crucified by Army of Lovers

Random headcanons

If they finish rehearsals early, Miss Mulberry lets them put on YouTube videos of the dances

Trev once did Rasputin and caught the attention of Pete and Grace, as they help out with the show and were around. Needless to say, dancing was quickly replaced with a history lesson/why the song is inaccurate and why women in history deserve to have their stories told

They now refuse to play until everyone who isn’t them has left the building, so there can be no interruptions

They, and by they I mean Caitlyn, wouldn’t let Ruth play if lives depended on it

Miss Mulberry also once made the mistake in saying it could be a competition and the winner could have a piece of candy from her prize box

There was so many fights that day…

All of them had at least one game of Just Dance growing up, except Caitlyn - she only ever played it at school or at friends’ houses

Josie had Just Dance 4; Kevin has all of the main series; and Trevor has 2014, 2017 and 2020

Kev is insanely competitive and a sore winner/loser, meanwhile everyone else is just playing to have fun and dance

He’s also a huge show off

Kev and Cait have a favourite kind of song and it’s anything that flatters their egos

They’re very, very confident in themselves and we love to see that #self love

Rudolph is god awful at dancing, so he doesn’t join in but will happily support Trevor from the sidelines

Brooke, however, is an exceptional dancer but has never really played/learned the dances for the games

She eggs on Kevin’s competitive ass for fun and chaos

Josie literally only knows a handful of non-musical songs. 9.8 times out of 10 she is going into these completely blind and expecting herself to pick up the melody, the choreography and the lyrics first try

Trev loses at least one shoe every time they play. There’s one stuck in the catwalk above the school auditorium, they haven’t been able to get it down so it’s still there

Cait thinks the guide is just a suggestion

Half of her additional or replacement choreography is just hair work

Josie thinks she needs to fully preform every time. She’ll sing along, give herself a character, maybe some dialogue if there’s an instrumental part of the song

Has definitely fainted upon burning up so much energy subsequently

It’s to the point now that the others can almost spot when she’s about to go. Kev picks her up so fucking gently and sits her down

The others happily perform with her

Kev almost exclusively does all the expert dances when playing solo

Josie’s siblings had Just Dance when she was younger, but she rarely got to play. Too busy having to care for them and the house. (And when she did, she never got a controller, so has no idea how good or bad she is). The songs on there are all really nostalgic and great tunes in general but can also be traumatic and tinged with bitterness

Josie’s just there sobbing while Call You Maybe plays

Trev only started doing Never Gonna Give You Up to rickroll the others but actually fell in love with the dance and is genuinely just wanting to play it all the time

Regular fights about what colour controller everyone is

Yes, they are that family

“We are that family in the neighbourhood that like, you wanna keep a wide berth when you walk past. Like, that’s this whole crew!”

“We’re the family, where if you’re in a car and they’re playing in the street, you speed up.”

Acting like Demi Moore wasn’t shamed for her pay check in strip tease is such bad faith. All you have to do is look at the razzies that year to see that she was being punished for being a woman getting paid a lot for an okay movie as if men - lets say Bruce “a million a day” Willis - don’t get to do that. Also it also is such a double standard to say she wants it too much like nobody was writing articles like that about brad pitt when he was campaigning so hard for OUATiH and everyone was tripping over themselves to give brendon fraser the oscar for the whale as a career acknowledgement! but god forbid a woman wants something!

demi literally talked about this in an interview leading up to the substance’s theatrical release too! that she wasn’t strictly comparing her career to bruce’s, but as his wife she knew damn well what he was bringing home in terms of a paycheck, and she said to herself, well, we’re doing the same amount of work. i should be compensated accordingly. and she was crucified for this! i was two fucking years old when striptease came out and i know this! what is REBECCA’s fucking excuse?

beatmywifeandkids pitt can campaign for an award shortly after beating his wife and kids and no one cares. brendan gets to act like a literal fucking make a wish kid when it came to his campaign and we all bought it up (i’m sympathetic to what he’s been through. but let’s be so fucking real. a woman would be CRUCIFIED for even attempting his kind of public narrative and campaign!!!).

remember in 2014 when michael keaton was launching his big comeback with birdman and the industry narrative was wow. this guy we love is BACK and hey, hasn’t he DESERVED it by now? we love that guy! and he would go to awards shows and give great speeches and we would all say wow. i love him. hope he wins more so he can speak more. ANYWAY I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING, REBECCA

remember when we effectively crucified anne hathaway for years for the crime of (checks notes) being too excited for an award we were pretty much all in agreement that she deserved, anyway? sorry for continuing to sit up on my soapbox. it gives me no pleasure. but i see this kind of sexist nonsense from men every god damn day of my life and when it comes from women my eye begins to twitch a little

[grusha-the-ice-type]

Okay just dance 4 time!!!! I’m not including Disturbia, we no speak americano, what makes you beautiful, and good feeling. As I’ve already talked about them. But I’ve got some goodies today!!!!

1. Crucified (P4) vs Wild Wild West (P2)

Our first crew battles here. I think this works because it’s two different time periods and yet their dances are the most fun. I chose P4 from crucified because he has THE MOST energy. Same with P2 from Wild Wild West. I think this battle would actually start out hostile towards one another. But they end up showing off their combined energy lol (They finna be gay as hell in this bro and I’m all here for it!)

2. Crazy little thing vs On the floor

These two have such good designs holy shit. I think this battle would also start a little hostile but they end up tolerating each other. I’m having so much fun with just dance 4!!!

3. Superstition vs Maneater

I think this one works really well. Superstition and maneater honestly give off the vibes of just a real bad date lmao. Maneater clearly getting pissed off that superstition is acting the way he is (Goofy as fuck) that and the songs are FANTASTIC!!!

4. Can’t take my eyes off you (P1) vs You’re the first, The last, My everything (P2)

Both are very catchy and upbeat songs. And for love songs that’s a great plus!!! (A lot of crew battles in JD4 lol) but yeah I chose these two simply because they seem like they’d be good friends honestly. (The battle takes place in an elevator obviously) and they just jam out to their respective songs!!!!

Im very proud of the just dance 4 battles honestly. And next is 2014!!! Another one of my favorite games!!!!

[spacey-llama]

How did u get into just dance 👀👀

haha why thank you for opening the can of worms

Proper punctuation for this one, it’s long. Seriously. I’m basically putting my whole history with the Just Dance franchise in one post.

So, I got into Just Dance in kindergarten when my music teacher put on Cotton Eye Joe from Just Dance 1 as a fun little exercise thing.

However, I didn’t get deep into it until I started having sleepovers basically every weekend with my best friend at the time, and she introduced me to Just Dance 4 on her Xbox 360 (she also introduced me to Minecraft, but that’s a different story). We weren’t allowed to play Crucified or Disturbia, but every other song was on the menu. It was cool!

The funny thing is, I don’t think I’ve ever been a good dancer. I was just enamored by the colorful characters and the delicious songs. Most of my music taste comes from Just Dance soundtracks!

I didn’t have a console of my own until YEARS later, so I would look up the choreos on YouTube and follow along w/ them. Throughout the years at school, teachers would also put on choreos as fun little things! I still associate Moskau from JD 2014 with 3rd grade gym class.

Small tangent, I was moving states when they started putting Just Dance 2014 ads on TV. So, I really associate that game with these two weeks I was staying in a hotel before my parents could find an apartment. Troublemaker is a choreo I specifically remember seeing on TV.

When I got a Wii U, I got Just Dance 3 and 4 with it. Later on, I would acquire all the games (except for 1, 2, and 2014) up until 2017. Dude, I played them all the time. The YEARS I spent fixated on those games was insane. Most of my friends didn’t like them, so I didn’t have many people to play with, but it was fine. Also, I would literally point out any song playing on the radio and be like “Thats on Just Dance (insert game here).” I still do that.

Oh, and the first song I got 5 stars on was Me And My Broken Heart on JD 2015! It’s still one of my favorite choreos ;)

AND THEN! My Wii U broke! And instead of trying to find a place to fix it, my brother elected to SMASH IT IN THE BACKYARD WITH A HAMMER!

So I didn’t play much Just Dance after that. I still have all my old game discs, though. And I’d play it with friends at their houses if given the opportunity. Unrelated, but I’m also very unfamiliar with any game that came out after JD 2017 (sans 2023 and 2024) because of The Hammer Incident.

“Oh, gee, Spacey, this is so crazy, how’d the fixation grab you again?” Glad you asked! See, I started seeing edits of the Just Dance 2023 storymode and I went “LORE???? CHARACTERS?????? THEY HAVE NAMES NOW?????? AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”

And I immediately watched the story stuff on YouTube and fell in LOVE! I like the silly little cast! The songs they use in the story modes aren’t my faves, but the CHARACTERS and LORE are what I am here for.

So. Yeah. Then I got 2024 for my Switch (not smashed by hammers) as well as Just Dance+ and I’ve been on that grind ever since. It’s one of those games that I find most people tend to like. It connects people. I’ve kept foreign exchange students at my house, and we wouldn’t be able to hold a long conversation, but we could play Just Dance together. There’s a comfort in that. I could wax poetic on the beauty of Just Dance and its ability to bring people together, but I won’t.

Also, while I do adore the main cast of 2023/2024, I’ve kind of started to take older characters and give them names, personalities, and stories myself! So if you’re going to follow this blog or anything, expect a lot of that.

TLDR: Kindergarten bestie introduced me to Just Dance, was crazy about it for years, it faded into the back of my mind, the 2023 lore got me back into it.

Thank you for the ask! I love yapping!

You must have selective memory, because for ages since 2014 forward if I said Beyoncé is overrated I would get crucified in the town square

It’s not lost on me that when someone talks about how “Beyoncé is overrated” or that she’s “not that talented” I’m supposed to respect other people’s music opinions, but if I say Taylor Swift’s music isn’t my style or I don’t care for her that much it’s like I said the most heinous thing in the world and I don’t support other women.

[bisluthq]

Oh I don’t think Harry is dumb at all. He’s not the best at expressing himself, I think the problem is that he overthinks every word and is desperately afraid of saying something that will ruin his career. It’s not a rational thought, but he’s described himself as very anxious multiple times and we can’t really control anxiety, nor is mental health a sign of someone’s intelligence.

He talked about being afraid of doing drugs in 1D and being caught, so he waited until he went solo. There’s a tattoo artist who said Harry was once threatened with being thrown out of the band for not being very careful with the way he got his tattoo (the one he got with Ed Sheeran). Like, Simon personally called him to tell him he might be thrown out (which I believe cause Louis told a similar story of Simon flying him from London to LA and threatening with taking him out of the band for getting drunk during a performance).

Harry said he cried tears of joy when he signed his solo contract, after asking his manager what happened if he got arrested. He’s clearly someone who’s afraid of making the wrong move and saying the wrong thing, and has been that way since he was 16, so I’m never gonna come for him for having issues verbalizing his thoughts in public. I mean, he said that as a working class, poorly connected, former boybander who came from a reality show (he didn’t say all of this, but context), he never thought he’d win AOTY and was crucified online for being “a white straight male” (even though he’s probably not straight). I don’t blame him for being careful.

Like, “a movie that feels like a movie” is a quote that was paraphrasing what Olivia Wilde said (“it’s a movie-movie” were her exact words), very early in the morning for him, after performing like 5 shows in a row in New York and taking a red eye to Venice the prior day. He said in multiple interviews that day that he was exhausted and hadn’t slept.

So, in terms of his interviews and stuff, I really don’t think Harry is the least bit dumb. He’s just overly careful and often misconstrued or taken out of context, because of the level of fame he has, where every word that comes out of his mouth is analyzed to death. This happens to Taylor too, except she doesn’t come off dumb cause she’s more assertive in her words, but people accuse her of being self-centered, cunning, and completely out of touch, which I’m sure she is to SOME degree but not because she said stuff like “Travis and I aren’t hiding” (Joe’s widows would claim that she was actually dissing Joe in juxtaposition and I personally don’t think it’s that deep).

Beyonce swore off interviews because of this. People would accuse her of being dumb as well, which I think is so ridiculous because you don’t get to be on that level of successful on some many aspects if you’re not smart.

Anyway, and in terms of decisions during DWD, I think he made the best out of a bad situation. He couldn’t have known what a mess the whole thing would be. I mean, Olivia is incredibly smart and well-educated and she was the main issue with that whole thing. Harry was thinking with his dick (his heart, really, I don’t wanna be cheesy but I do think he was in love), when he got with her, because I think he knows that he should never mix relationships with work. But oh well, it’s something that he did once and most likely learned from it. Taylor thinks with her clit 90% of the time and she’s an incredibly smart celebrity.

Harry is doing the lifestyle brand in a really smart way. He invested in stuff like the Calm App and an arena in Manchester, which were both really smart. He has an entire company just for investments. He created a record label and a publishing company for his music. He reads a lot and has good takes on the books he reads. He knows how to speak two languages fluently (aside from English). He started networking in 1D when he was 17 years old. He said stuff like “we’re exhausting the fan base” when asking for a break from 1D in 2014, and got Irving Azoff, one of the biggest music moguls of all time, to be on his side. He self invests on his tours which means he gets most of the profits. He’s best buddies with the CEO of Sony Music and literally recorded As It Was on his living room. He taught himself how to play guitar and piano, and how to write music. He created his current collaboration team from scratch, out of two mid to low tier producers who weren’t working with anyone big. Now they’re working with everyone and literally stood behind Miley Cyrus when she won ROTY this year. One of them worked on Cowboy Carter with Beyonce on multiple tracks!

He talked about not diluting his brand, which is why he does very few interviews and appearances. He will absolutely not show up at an awards show unless he’s nominated. He will not do any events. He only went to the met gala when he co-chaired. The only two clothing brands he’s associated directly with are Adidas, because they collaborated with Gucci, and his collaboration made sales up 1,900%, and his tenure as a Gucci ambassador was the most successful one of the brand’s history. His Gucci capsule is the most sold capsule in Gucci’s existence. He’s only ever done one other commercial ad, for Apple Music, and it was talked about a ton and won awards.

He did all of that without any music industry connections btw! No singing lessons as a child, no stage mom pushing him, not even a cousin in the music industry. He’s had a few missteps of course, he’s been in the industry 14 years, but his amazing decisions outweighs the few meh ones by miles.

The guy won AOTY, swept the Brit Awards, had the biggest song of 2022 (and one of the biggest of all time, 15 weeks #1, on track of becoming the most streamed song on Spotify), the fifth biggest tour of all time, he has the highest average per track on Spotify (that is above Taylor btw), and that’s with 3 albums, 35 tracks, never collaborating with anyone, never releasing a remix song.

There’s not an aspect of his life or career that’s dumb imo

fair enough.

i know you've talked about this before but i just saw someone say obama had 59 senate seats and a 78 house seat majority and he "could've done anything" and i can't. when did peoples' collective memory get so shit? i was in middle school for most of his presidency and even i knew back then how hostile the republicans were to him. what is this revisionist history people are insistent on engaging in like i just don't get it. it's so easy to look back from where we are now and act like people back then didn't try hard enough and it's infuriating

"Obama could have done anything." Sure, when he came into office in the middle of a global economic meltdown and somewhat understandably, put that first, even when the Republicans had already declared their firm intention, in the middle of said financial emergency, not to work with him ever on anything and to make him a one-term president. And yet, still got the $787 billion stimulus through (which at the time was just an Absurd level of Government Spending Oh Noes!!!) and in fact managed to stop things from getting even worse.

"Obama could have done anything." Sure, for the first half of his first term where he had full control of Congress (4 months with 60 seats) and aside from said minor economic problem, was also trying to get the Affordable Care Act done. After 2010 he lost the House; after 2014 he lost the Senate. There are plenty of critiques to be made with the benefit of hindsight about how the Democrats did or did not push to change the procedural rules (something they still can't do now with a much smaller majority and Joe Fucking Manchin reliably on hand to torpedo it), or how they did or did not campaign on the ACA, or how they got punished for it, or how Obama's political inexperience and knowledge that the Republicans were going to crucify him but he still tried to work with them did or did not play into it. The point is, to act like he had those whopping majorities for his entire two terms (and that they automatically just did whatever he said, thanks to his magic mind-control powers) is nonsense.

"Obama could have done anything." As the first African-American president who faced ungodly levels of hate, racism, paranoia, personal attacks, personal attacks on his family, attempts to prove he "wasn't American," Tea Party conspiracies, and Christ knows what else, all while he had to not put a single foot wrong in any scandal, no matter how minor, for eight years. (Which he did!) If only Obama had KNOWN that he could have just done anything and this would totally happen and be fine and never be subject to legal challenges or anything! The Republicans haven't spent a decade since trying to destroy the ACA or anything like that, not ever. Why didn't he use his psychic powers to peer into the future and realize that Roe, universally regarded as settled law, was going to be overturned thanks to an orange maniac and a dark-money federalist judiciary effort! Why didn't he predict that American white fragility was going to backlash in the form of Trump and just never run for president at all? HIS FAULT! THANKS, OBAMA!

"Obama could have done anything." Because he was a wizard, because the Democratic Party and the country was exactly the same 15 years ago, because 2008 was completely identical to 2023 in its social priorities, political issues, cultural beliefs, and other material, and because we can happily act as if Trump never existed, his effect on the American social, political, and racial zeitgeist never existed, because everything is Obama/the Democrats' fault somehow for Not Doing Enough, and nothing to do with anything else, ever. Clearly nothing to do with these fuckwits and their chucklefuck revisionist purity ideology and deliberate refusal to learn or accept anything that contradicts that, i.e. basic reality and history. Nosirreebob.

I've loved Taylor since 2008 and been following her life journey since then. Things were just wild since 2012 and Taylor was coming into her own then as a pop star songwriter and the whole dating celebrities thing took on a different life in the media circa 2014 during Harry.

I remember watching it all unfold in admiration, dread, excitement but also realising Taylor was similar to me! She clearly Hated being alone despite trying to convey the message of being a strong, single woman. It's really hard to be alone when you're having a normal life and it must be even harder being alone when you're at the top of the world. Why is it so wrong to want someone? My friends would crucify me about "oh you need to be alone" etc and none of them had been single since college! None of them had faced that isolation. And once you're with someone you get totally used to having someone in your life to call on.

It's true perhaps we get lost and don't ever find ourselves if we continually date but maybe you can find part of yourself through the dating and the breaking up. Maybe that can give you confidence and strength.after six years of being attached to someone is it wrong for Taylor to look around at her empty huge house and go this sucks I would really like some company right now and see where it leads?

Also taylor has her work, she continually finds herself in her work and love of music. I once asked someone older what does finding yourself mean- and he said it meant finding what makes you truly content or joyful. Taylor has her music and her family that brings her happiness, there's nothing wrong with wanting someone to build a life with.

I really think this is all based on a patriachial misogynistic system. It's fine for men to be serial daters but for women it's like you're lost and broken.

Ps. I really like reading your thoughts it's been so helpful during all these years and how you overcame your own struggle to find your peace. You're so awesome!

This was so well put! Thanks for taking the time writing this out. I just can’t reason with some people being so hateful to other people. Taylor is grown. She is doing normal stuff. If she were a normal person her gfs would be like you go girl do whatever you have to do to make yourself back to 100! If Taylor was a man then no one would be saying shit!

Yes, Ladies and gentlemen, it’s HUNTER BIDEN in all his glory! What does he hold in his hand? Right, it’s an illegally purchased gun which was purposely dropped into the trash container later. Of course, the media doesn’t seem to be interested at all. No questions to be asked. Now imagine, if Don Jr. was photographed high and naked with an illegal gun in his hand, and the media obtained one of such photos, what do you think would happen? He would have been indicted right away. The story would have been the biggest one of the year. Joe was supposed to be fighting corruption in Ukraine in 2014 while his crackhead son Hunter was sitting on the board of one of the most corrupt gas companies in Europe? Does it f^cking make any sense for anyone? 

Hey Anon!

I posted some dirty pics of Hunter receiving a foot job, LOL.  I had to delete them, but it was fun to expose the jerk.

I love Don Jr. he is really good with his convictions and a considerable debater.

They would have tarred and feathered him than crucified him. We all know mainstream media is corrupt and on the take. It's so supposed to be neutral in reporting.

Quid Pro Quo Joe, 10% to the big the guy isn't a conspiracy theory. Hunter Biden's Laptop is authentic as it gets. Let me tell you, Hunter should be in prison for incest, rape, RICO, money laundering, and gun charges.

He should be charged anywhere but DC. We all know who and what the Swamp is. Look at Sussman. The democrat party had to pay millions, yet he is found not guilty even though he most defiantly told porkie pies to the FBI and got the Russian collusion going at the behest of the Clinton campaign and Fusion GPS.

The mainstream media pounded that every day, which made democrat America hate him. Some of you guys were openly hating on him. I saw the troll army on Twitter mocking him.

Trump never put kids in cages. Obama/Biden made those cages. I posted the video of Obama telling illegals not to come.  

Trump loves America and wants to expose the Swamp. He never hated the American people.

He isn't racist, I'm from New Jersey, and I can tell you he was never a racist. One of my boyfriends was a floor person at Trump's casinos, and it ran beautifully. Trump was always surrounded by POC.

Trump's acts of kindness were notorious. He once paid off a guy's mortgage broken down on the road.

One of the things the demonrats did was whatever they did wrong. They weirdly blamed it on Trump or a republican.

I posted the media matters agenda. Of all the dirty low-down tricks. They sued everybody that had a different narrative to them. It was a blame game, and the Dems wore it like a badge of honor.

I watched the judicial committee and was shocked that they were outright crazy, and I hope they lose this month and November.

The woke shit has got to go. Vote WOKE out and send them packing.

Thank you for your ask!

Love, JD 😜💋

Observations based on my search so far (majorly around the summer of 2014):

People were REALLY unafraid to use language in their art or urls that uh...would get you crucified these days (Also, me seeing old artist urls and thinking to myself YOU used to draw porn and YOU used to draw porn and Y--) not to mention being very unafraid to make sexual jokes or content

Lots of problematic art that would be considered [insert ism here] but the op probably had no idea or was completely unintentional playing off stereotypes

SOOOOOO much more gregory and mole art?????? They were super popular around this time

I found dashcon jokes like thats the Time Period we’re looking at. Honorable mention meme are anything to do with vocaloid... and if I had a dollar for everytime someone made a michaelmore joke, i’d have two dollars, which isn’t a lot but surprising it’s happened twice

[misskatebishop]

thalia pls rec me a song from an artist who's not mainstream i need some recs

I got carried away. C'mon. I look on my YT playlist and I've got some names.

Sleeping at Last (they are known for Turning Page on Twilight series, but the other songs are so incredible and they don't get enough recognition. Literally, any song is perfect <3)

Ina Wroldsen (Favela ft. Alok/Lay It On Me/Forgive or Forget)

Jaymes Young (Come Back For Me/What Is Love?/Fragments/I'll Be Good, etc. I highly recommend the entire album)

FLETCHER (Sex With My Ex/Girls Girls Girls/All Love) She's getting recognition because of her feat with Duncan Laurence in Arcade.

Ida Laurberg (My Chemistry/How You Feel/Grayzone)

Sasha Sloan (Dancing With Your Ghost/Older/Too Sad To Cry)

Loïc Nottet (Million Eyes/On Fire)

NF (Let You Down/If You Want Love/Traumas/Paralized/Can You Hold Me) I found out that they are religious band recently, but their songs are so beautiful and they have so much meaning.

Alec Benjamin (Let Me Down Slowly ft Alessia Cara/Oh My God/Gotta Be A Reason/Must've Been the Wind/Water Fountain/The Wolf and the Sheep) I think I found him on YouTube at the beginning of this year. Powerful lyrics. I can't believe he's not known.

Lennon Stella (Older than I am/Like Everybody Else) Amazing singer, too.

Sarah Close (Call Me Out/You Say/Forgive or Forget) She started doing covers on YouTube and I can't believe how big she became.

SVRCINA (Astronimical/Meet Me On The Battlefield/Steady/Island/Lover.Fighter) I only like a few songs, but her voice is good.

Bea Miller (Self-Crucify/Feel Something) She's getting famous.

Grace VanderWaal (I don't know my name/Moonlight/So Much More Than This) I think she won the America's Got Talent, but I'm not sure. That how I started listening to her.

Grace Carter (Heal Me/Waiting Room/Why Her Not Me) Definitely underrated. She should be more famous.

Limi (Simple Pleasures/Best I've ever had) If you are looking for something more sensual...

Tom Odell (Another Love/Heal)

St. Beauty (Lucid Dreams/Going Nowhere/Not Discuss It)

Gabrielle Aplin (Home/The Power of Love/Salvation) I used to listen to her a lot back in 2014, and she's still not as famous as she should. I think her song 'Home' plays in Totalmente Demais.

Zevia (If Depression Gets the Best of Me/Till Death Set Me Free/Toxicity) Heavy lyrics. Really heavy. Be careful, it might be triggering. I've found her quite recently on YT. .

I remember the time where I would listen to AURORA, Ruelle, Fleurie, Zara Larsson and they weren't as famous as they are nowadays.

Sorry for this long list

Fire and Redemption Pt. 6 Currently Russia is invading Ukraine and we are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled. In 2015, we did a video explaining a 200-year-old prophecy by Vilna Gaon. He prophesied that when Russia were to invade Ukraine the steps of the Messiah would be heard. Vilna Gaon was a mystic who emphasized the spiritual interpretation of the Torah. 

The church today teaches that “no man knows the day and hour,” thinking that Scripture pertains to the second coming of Christ, but the early church taught that it had more to do with Christ’s return in His saints. In 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Paul taught that when Christ comes, He will be glorified in His saints. Malachi says that suddenly (in Hebrew “suddenly” means “in a moment of a twinkling of an eye”) enter His temple. You’re the temple of God. The Lord is going to return in the remnant first in glory. The third temple is not about what they build in Jerusalem; you are the third temple. 

In Daniel 9 it was prophesied that the seven weeks being the time frame to when Jerusalem would be restored. Seven days multiplied by seven weeks adds up to 49 - that is a Schmita, which leads to Jubilee. There is a 49-year time frame that is revealing what will happen, and actually what has already come to pass.

On June 7th 1967, Jerusalem was restored and began to be rebuilt in troublesome times. If you multiply 49 prophetic years to a Jewish year (which is 360 days according to the lunar calendar) you will get 17,640 days. When you add those days from June 7th 1967, it will take you to September 23, 2015, which was Yom Kippur. This was when the tetrad blood red moons occurred on the Lord’s feast. Jesus said two thousand years ago that He was coming soon, or shortly. This means that “shortly” to Jesus has a whole other meaning that we need to understand. 

This brings me to Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s ten Jubilee prophecy. He lived in 1275 and prophesied that Jerusalem would be captured and for eight Jubilees, which is 400 years. Four hundred years from 1517 brings us to 1917 which is when General Allenby took Jerusalem. This happened on Hanukkah in 1917. God’s feasts are not done away with and God is still doing things on His feast days to mark time for those who are paying attention. The League of Nations, before they were called the United Nations, voted that Jerusalem would be a no man’s land.

If God can speak to people to show the accuracy of when He will do things, then we should be able to hear from the Lord with the same type of accuracy. He reveals his plan to the righteous but not to the wicked. He only opens to those who are pure in their heart and have spiritual understanding. 

For the next 50 years Jerusalem was considered no man’s land. Another 50 years later, in 1967,  the Six Day War took place and Jerusalem was restored to Israel. The next 50 years takes us to 2017. In 2017, another major biblical prophecy occurred when the first red heifer in the last two thousand years was birthed. The Jews know that the third temple cannot be dedicated and restored until there is a red heifer as the red heifer is needed in order to dedicate the temple. They say that either Elijah or the Messiah would come to slay this final red heifer. The physical red heifer isn’t the important part; it’s only symbolic of the completion of the remnant who are a people that have died to self to come into the fullness of God’s glory.

The sign of the tetrad blood red moons have also occurred on very significant dates. This occurred when Christ was crucified, also with a sackcloth moon. This occurred around 1967 when Jerusalem was captured and also between 2014-2015, all on feast days. All these signs are telling us how close we are to the end, to the return of the Messiah. In 2015, I told my people we are entering a transition where the Lord is going to start getting the church ready for what’s coming. These teachings were all preparation for us to be ready because the footsteps of the Messiah are being heard. He is close. We need to live everyday like it is our last. Amen. 

Sincerely, Apostle Michael Petro

- TRUMP DOES THE UNTHINKABLE. ~ by Liz Crokin

As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've NEVER heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president.

Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.

Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.

Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.

In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.

In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick

Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief-stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.

In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.

In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.

In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach ,

Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who as the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and

began admitting Jews and blacks.

In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.

In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.

In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at the traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.

In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.

In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days, she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately

provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.

Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.

Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race, and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help.

Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd ever run for president. He said: "If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.'"

That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable! On the other hand, have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources?

Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!

Just shows we hired the right guy. If Hollywood , the liberals and the

media ever STOP harassing him, Trump will have time to do many more positive things for our country....the good ole United States of America!!

PS ~ To those who are already Fact Checking, don't bother . . . already did it, and all the stories are TRUE!

The Liberal, progressive, socialists want to destroy this guy. The same mindset crucified Jesus.

Movie: Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet Release Year: 2014 Animation studios: Bardel / Cartoon Saloon

I mentioned in the previous post about them that Cartoon Saloon was the animation studio behind the “On Love” Sequence from “Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet” (a movie which features different segments of Kahlil Gibran’s poetry animated by different studios or artists).

I always want to share this sequence but I don’t think it exists online just on its own so I can’t link it. So I cut it myself to post here. Please watch it. And hpefully this post doesn’t get pulled.

The only reason I’m uploading this is because I have no idea how many people are even aware of this movie. Since it’s a “weirdo art film” and doesn’t have Spiderman in it. Because apparently Spiderman is what we care about.

Anyway Kahlil Gibran’s poem used as the lyrics in this under the cut, modified to fit the melody

When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, Though he hides a sword among them. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams Love will crown and crucify you. Though for your growth so is he for your pruning. Love will caresses your tenderest branches And shake every clinging root. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes and sifts you, he grinds and he kneads you. And then he assigns you to his sacred  fire that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment a fragment of Life's heart. But if in your fear you seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Better cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into a seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is enough. You should say; "I am in the heart of God." You cannot direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. To wake at dawn with a winged heart To come home in the evening with gratitude; Then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
