Hey! Hi! How are y'all? Coming off a self-imposed SM break. What did I miss? Never mind, I'll poke around and find out myself, try to catch up on stuff.
For no particular reason, except that tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of the release of Southeastern (one of the finest albums, start to finish, that I've ever heard), here's a little Jason Isbell for you.
svt really need to bring back songs where they just throw a bunch of members into the recording studio to create impromptu units again, bc like. it's so funny. like, 'hello' has dk, mingyu and junhui, and what unit is that? the 97 line but they replaced minghao with jun? and 'fronting' is cheol, wonwoo, mingyu, vernon, hoshi, and woozi. leader line + the rest of the hhu anyone?? and 'space', which is hhu + dk?? do they just like adding one vocalist to the hhu and going ok cool guys have fun now? and 'still lonely', 'drift away', 'flower'.... which all have the most random members and are absolute bangers, btw. unit songs r great, age line songs r underappreciated, but nothing tops the random grouping of members tbh
I'm sorry. I can't stand it anymore. Taylor Swift is the living embodiment of capitalism. She gave you four versions of her album, with only one or two songs difference, before she even released the album. Y'all are going to be paying four times for the exact same product with only slight tweaks. Not to be like back in my day, because I'm just in my twenties, but if an artist released a special edition it was at least a year or two after the album and you only grabbed the one special edition that featured the song you couldn't live without. Maybe if you were an extreme fan of the artist in question you got all the editions, but only after you knew that you liked it. You wouldn't go out and buy four different versions of a book with a different forward before you even knew what was in the forward or what was in the book itself. And the thing about it all is that she knows that no one's going to protest this shameless cash grab, because they're just excited to get more Taylor swift. And the thing is that I'm not a hater, necessarily, I don't mind her music, but holy shit is she taking advantage of everybody. This isn't about artistic integrity or whatever else she said about the re-recordings. This is about new albums that HAVEN'T EVEN RELEASED YET that she COMPLETELY OWNS. No wonder she's the best selling artist of last year because she has 50 million versions of every song and every album, not even talking about the re-recording. The whole thing leaves such a sour taste in my mouth.
"If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas"
No but you don't understand we gather STONES, never knowing what they'll mean, some to THROW, some to make a DIAMOND ring. you know I didn't want to have to haunt you, but what a ghostly scene. you wear the same JEWELS that I gave you as you BURY ME
Random Tazercraft appreciation post bc even tho i never watched their pov, you can still feel the life they put into the server
From what i know, they organized most of Festa Junina which was an AWESOME event, with tons of cultural representation and was so fun, for the brazilians and the others. It introduced everyone to a part of Brazil's culture and it was so wholesome and well done?? (+The area was really pretty)
The esconde esconde??? Which some players still go to play at random times bc it's just so fun?? The area is awesome, the eggs got to decorate their statues (which is super cute) for some of them and they decorated the rest according to each eggs' tastes. The main event was SO much fun and they even added a second mini-game with the ''hot-potato'' (even more fun, can you believe that?)
The second area??? For the murder mystery?? It looks so good?? The details are INSANE, they're adding lore to each houses, loads of decorations/secret paths/hidden rooms and we already know this is gonna be such a good event! Their ideas for the roles, having around a dozens so that everyone gets to have one... I legit can't wait to see it!
And you can to that the train (which is so cool) and all the randoms lore discoveries
Like, the clip of them getting into the nether lived in my mind rent free for so long bc it's just so funny?? And they keep on doing that type of stuff
Idk, they just bring so much life to the server and you can feel it through any pov you could watch
