logan had just left some business meeting he really had no reason to be attending - except for the reason that his father told him to, and that he would get a bonus on his allowance paycheck this month. it was long, and pointless, and logan could not have cared less. so of course the next logical step was to do something dumb, reckless, and expensive, maybe skydiving? he would decide later. he found his way to the lunch place he had invited kia to. "blondie!" he called out to her as he saw her enter the restaurant. "come on, i need your help. am i making us a skydiving reservation or am i buying us flights to vegas for the weekend?"

Ruby just craved something normal. Her family had been looking over their shoulders all their lives and with Dalton, things were simple. Easy. "That depends on your definition of romantic I guess, I think this is nice and besides, I get to help bring life into the world. Maybe I'm weird, but I think that's pretty romantic."

1. sensual sex in a secluded meadow during a picnic. / august & tessa ⤵ closed starter for @intcxications

it  was  hard  for  tessa  to  deny  august  anything  he  wanted. so  ,  as  they drove  together  .  stopping  briefly  by  the  meadow  ,  her  mind  completely  went  blank ,  forgoing  every  bit  of  resentment  she  had  nurtured  towards  him  during  the  last  few  months  over  his  current  engagement. what  had  started  as  a  walk  and  no  conversation  ,  soon  turned  to  clothes  being  slowly  shed  as  they  gave  in  to  the  chemistry  and  undeniable  PASSION  among  them. everywhere  he  kissed  her  felt  like  fire. ❛  maybe  we  shouldn't—  ❜  her  tone  was  hushed  and  needy  ,  in  her  words  ,  a  beg  hidden. ❛  august  ,  please—  ❜  but  please ...  what  ?  did  she  want  him  to  stop  ,  or  did  she  want  him  to  continue  ?  it  was  hard  coming  in  terms  and  making  a  decision  when  her  brain  was  clouded  with  lust  ,  it  was  hard  to  know  that  their  connection  didn't  push  away  the  fact  there  was  a  woman  he  took  out  in  public  and  this  woman  was  not  her .

          “yep, still shit,” he muttered, more to himself than to anyone else, after gulping down some of the drink he had poured. it was ridiculous to expect that it would ever taste right, but that didn’t stop DANIEL from trying. it did, however, tend to stop him from finishing. “you wouldn’t happen to want the rest of this, would you?”

a raven for @wcrfcres

fools in king's landing. that's what brandon thought of the court , and most southron people barring his wife , if you had asked him his true thoughts under the duress of alcohol. he had , in truth , had consumed more than his share after queen rhaena announced the death of the two young lords. idiots , thats what they were , but they were still lords nonetheless. he shook his head , bringing wine to moisten his lips. "i wonder how the velaryons and rowans must feel about the queen's decisions."

her  throat  constricted  with  emotions  she  had  buried  deep  within  the  recesses  of  her  soul, (  longing  for  the  sweet  symphony  of  words  uttered  eons  ago ).  she  harbored  no  resentment  towards  his  shattered  promises,  for  they  were  but  innocent  youths⸻  swept  away  by  the  fervent  tides  of  their  dreams,  envisioning  an  eternity  intertwined  beneath  the  embrace  of  their  drowned  god.  the  sting  of  unfulfilled  vows  pierced  her  heart⸻  compounded  by  the  stark  contrast  of  his  ascension  to  greatness  while  she  languished  in  the  clutches  of  the  lannisters⸻  a  pawn  in  their  treacherous  game.

yet,  amidst  the  cacophony  of  bells  tolling  on  her  wedding  day,  her  eyes  beseeched  the  horizon⸻  yearning  for  his  silhouette  to  emerge  and  whisk  her  away  from  this  den  of  lions,  where  she  was  deemed  unworthy.  her  betrothed,  with  his  eyes  aflame  with  ambitious  desire⸻offered  hollow  words  of  congratulations,  dripping  with  insincerity,  further  deepening  her  despair.

blinking  back  tears  held  in  abeyance  for  years  (  she  released  a  fragile  laugh  ),  laced  with  the  bitterness  of  broken  vows  and  shattered  dreams.  ❛  do  you  possess  the  power  to  enact  divine  intervention?  ❜  she  inquired,  her  tone  imbued  with  a  solemn  wisdom  born  of  a  lifetime  of  shattered  dreams.

locking  eyes  with  dalton,  she  whispered,  her  voice  barely  above  a  murmur,  ❛ the would it have made a difference ? ❜    her  fingers  intertwined  with  his,  weathered  by  the  tempests  of  the  sea,  as  she  surrendered  to  the  inevitability  of  their  divergent  paths.  ❛we  are  fated  to  be  the  sea  witch  and  the  red  kraken,  rulers  of  our  respective  domains.  but  those  fleeting  moments  of  our  youth,  when  our  dreams  danced  on  the  precipice  of  reality...  i  would  relive  them  all  over  again.❜  she  confessed,  tears  shimmering  in  the  depths  of  her  eyes,  finding  solace  in  the  presence  of  the  one  who  knew  her  most  intimately.

Jemma rolls over, towards the center of the bed, suddenly more awake than she was a moment ago when empty sheets are the only thing that greets her. Confusion turns to a frown when Dalton speaks and she blinks at the dimness of the room, taking a second to find him there standing at the end of the bed.

"Don't," she starts, her voice thick with sleep. Jemma doesn't know where the sentence was going to end; she doesn't know what she can ask for. Pushing her up on one elbow, she tries again, "Don't leave. Not yet."

Year-End Poll #64: 2013

[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Robin Thicke, Imagine Dragons, Baauer, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake, Pink, Bruno Mars, Florida Georgia Line, Katy Perry. End description]

More information about this blog here

With Billboard now counting YouTube views into their charts, we're seeing new artists reaching higher chart success from the strength of their music videos or internet virality in general, with songs like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Thrift Shop and Baauer's Harlem Shake.

Speaking of changing technology, we now have to cover the biggest change that's going to define this decade in music. While first released in the States in 2011, Spotify's impact on the charts will start to become even more evident this year. It will still be a while before Billboard begins implementing data from Spotify and similar streaming services into their charts.

We're also starting to see the electropop and club music dwindle in the charts. Some have attributed this to Lorde's Royals, giving it an almost Smells Like Teen Spirit-esque mythos. But there's also the shift towards more folk and indie sounds in music (and commercials gravitating towards this music as well), streaming encouraging more individual listening, and general shifting tastes.

With the remix of Florida Georgia Line's Cruise, we're also seeing the rise in a subgenre known as bro-country. In terms of country crossover success, this subgenre would come to take over ballads and country pop as the main crossover sound. This is not the last time we'll see an example of country-rap fusion on the charts, and it certainly won't be the last time we see controversy over it.

And speaking of controversy, we need to talk about Blurred Lines. Specifically, we need to talk about Pharrell Williams v. Bridgeport Music. The court case concerned the song's similarities to Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up and Sexy Ways. Without going too much into it, the case ruled in favor of Marvin Gaye's estate -- a decision that forever altered the course of music copyright law. Since the ruling, we've seen a rise in lawsuits over perceived musical similarities as well as labels scrambling to give songwriting credits out to avoid potential lawsuits (if you ever wondered why Richard and Fred Fairbrass of Right Said Fred received songwriting credits on Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do, that's why). To quote this entry from Harvard Law's Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law:

Aptly named, the “Blurred Lines” case is now blurring the lines of rather well-settled copyright doctrine and is sending shockwaves through the musical community. While it is unclear what the ultimate impact of Williams will be on the music industry, it has, at the very minimum, put artists and publishers on notice as to how they should approach musical composition to avoid legal issues.

These “copyright trolls” would acquire the copy-rights of older music, and then sue artists for infringement with the hopes of forcing a settlement. Many artists would agree to these settlements, as they often are less expensive than the costs of litigating the issue in court. 65 Further, the threat of litigation may incline new musical artists to obtain unnecessary licenses and other permissions that they feel will protect them from these lawsuits. (Quagliariello, 2019)

The arguments behind the initial court case are still being debated, but what can't be debated is the Pandora's Box of litigation that the case inspired.

Good thing this is the only controversy Blurred Lines had ever faced. At least that's what I'm going to pretend for the sake of this poll.
