#at versaris

[useless-catalanfacts]

I'll go back to a song from 2013 but it's worth it. This is a rap song by the Catalan band At Versaris ft. the American MC Invincible and DJ Waajeed. The song is mostly in Catalan with a last part in English.

The song is titled "No fear" because the rapper talks about fighting back against fear, which is the feeling the used to keep people in place in the capitalist system.

I translated the part in Catalan, but in the original language it's better because the lyrics are very well written to create sound repetitions. Anyway, here's the original lyrics (in red) and translation of the part that was in Catalan (in black), and the part of the song in English I leave it as it is (in purple).

[Chorus:]

[Cap por, cara a cara, tots junts, colze a colze, apreta els punys.

Cap por mira'm als ulls, apunta al cor, un altre juny.

No fear, face to face, all together, side by side, close your fists tight.

No fear, look me in the eyes, aim for the heart, another June [June means a time to fight because of a historical reference in Catalonia's anthem].

No fear: never a phobia ever controlling ya, build a utopia

No fear: when you're courageous the feeling's contagious I'm willing to wage it.

Cap por, avui la claca clar que no s'aplaca. Ataca.

No té cap por, chapeau l'actitud de capo

No fear, today of course the chatter isn't abated. It attacks.

It has no fear, bravo to their mafia boss attitude

No fear: ain't nothing stoppin' this, love is the opposite

We got no fear: world is ours, building power, say it louder]

Calla, domina la por.

Doctrina, morfina, les mans sobre el capó.

Una fina cortina de fum, estímul, resposta, rutina, consum,

governa la fòbia, l'escòria, la pasta i la làbia.

Obre la gàbia, fuck religió, crida cap por i autoorganitza la ràbia.

Quiet, control your fear.

Doctrine, morphine, your hands on the hood [of the car].

A thin layer of smoke, encouragement, response, routine, consumption,

the phobia, the scum, the cash and the glibness is what governs.

Open the cage, fuck religion, shout "no fear" and self-organize the rage.

Controlo el tempo, més viu que mai,

jo estic atent, tu al ciberespai.

Jo rebento i tu caçant el hype,

assaltem els bancs com Bonie & Clyde de la mà.

Ara tenim un pla, volem un plat a taula i un tros de pa.

Prou, no demanem si us plau, som el monstre si la nit cau.

I control the tempo, more alive than ever,

I'm paying attention, you're in the cyberspace.

I blow up and you hunting the hype,

let's rob the banks like Bonie & Clyde holding hands.

Now we have a plan, we want a dish on our table and a load of bread.

Enough, we're not asking "please", we're the monster if the night falls.

Cap por, saps, no? Hem assumit el risc,

no guardem el crit a la boca, hem creuat el límit, idiota.

Sóc prop del precipici intentant no perdre el cap,

com Grandmasterflash i Furious 5, com al principi.

No fear, you know, don't you? We've accepted the risk,

we don't keep the shout in our mouth, we've crossed the limit, idiot.

I'm near the cliff trying not to loose my head,

like Grandmasterflash and Furious 5, like at the beginning.

Malson, Barna en flames, columnes de fum,

ningú no dorm quan cau la nit Diagonal amunt,

és l'u per cent contra el sentiment de tot el conjunt,

una altra esquela i La Vanguardia plora els seus difunts.

Nightmare, Barcelona in flames, smoke columns,

nobody sleeps when the night falls from the Diagonal above [note: the rich neighbourhoods of Barcelona are above the Diagonal avenue]

It's the 1% against the feeling of the whole rest,

another obituary and La Vanguardia cries their deaths. [note: La Vanguardia is a centre-right newspaper]

[Repeat chorus]

La por d'una xavala que s'amaga entre la gent quan sent

un mirada de babosa prepotència.

La por a que s'acabi l'idil·li amb foli i el boli que neix a la infància.

El pànic a la repressió que cala a cada militant

et va minant perquè és quinta essència

de l'estratègia capitalista per excel·lència

The fear of a girl who hides among people when she feels a glance of creepy arrogance.

The fear of the end of the idyll of paper sheet and pen that's born in childhood.

The panic of repression that seeps through every activist

and slowly undermines you 'cause it's the quintessence

of the capitalist strategy par excellence.

La por a la mala imatge, t'esquitxa el rumor?

Mostrar el dit del cor i fer el cor fort,

riu-te del mort i el que el vetlla.

Viuen vides de tedi, tu al podi i ells són morralla.

I no falla: quan calla el pobre el ric no trontolla.

Ens podreu xapar a la trena, però tenim cinc mil homes de palla

The fear of looking bad, does the rumour taint you?

Giving the middle finger and being courageous [literally: giving the heart finger and making the heart strong],

laugh at the dead one and at the one who keeps the vigil.

They live tedious lives, you in the podium and they're rabble

And it doesn't fail: when the poor man is silent, the rich man doesn't tremble.

You might be able to lock us up, but we have 5000 frontmen.

Que el què et pot tombar no és tenir por sinó mostrar-la a un poli.

Jo me la guardo per mi.

Que la cel·la és petita però el somni és immens:

Tombar el capital, per fi.

Teniu fotos dels tatoos, empremptes i el meu adn.

Teniu el TN.

Però jo una germana de mil cares de nom "subalterna" que em guarda l'esquena.

Having fear isn't what can knock you down, it's showing it to a cop.

I keep mine for me.

'Cause the cell is small but the dream is huge:

finally knocking down the capital.

You have photos of the tattoos, fingerprints and my DNA,

you have the TV news

but I have a sister with 1000 faces called "working class" that keeps my back.

A cada burgeset: la por com xarop.

Que solidaritat és set de tot i viure amb poc.

Ric, sents el tic-tac?

La tropa de xusma que et posa en escac.

Ni caritat, ni 0,7, ni paritat.

La massa el què vol és pitet.

Babejant de veure de un banquer entre el poble i la paret com va reculant

amb cap por.

To every little bourgeois: fear as a syrup.

'Cause solidarity is being thirsty for all and living with little.

Rich man, can you hear the tick-tock?

The riffraff troop that puts you in checkmate.

No charity, nor 0.7, nor parity.

What the masses want is a bib

they're drooling seeing a banker between the people and the wall,

how he walks back.

With no fear.

[Repeat chorus]

No fear:

whether you board a flight although you scared of heights

or a kid getting bullied when you go to school but you train up and

you go prepared to fight

you got no fear

now the bully chills to a lower Fahrenheit and they freeze, or they

try to be your friend and appease, then the plane lands in a place

with a warm breeze

No fear

that's what I tell em- only way to deal with an unfree world is to be

so free, your existence is rebellion

and I'm so clear

that fear debilitates and it could seal your fate when they manipulate

but my amygdula's irregular transform the molecular, fear it ain't protecting ya

No fear-

immigrants internationally

no papers so they try to deport ya

but fuck their borders

you gonna still raise your family

we got no fear-

cuz you're queer or trans and they hate you with judgement

be who you are and love who you love and still hold hands and date you in public

We got no fear-

from foreclosing and eviction

if you can't pay the loan gotta reclaim your home

cuz we chose to be brave not frozen as victims

we got no fear-

it's not when fear is absent

it's when you absolutely passionate bout the life that's past it

battle trance shit.

A surprise present appears before you! There is the sound of excited giggling coming from within. Would you open it?

September 21st is coming up which means it's time to prepare the cake, grab those party hats and celebrate Sun and Moon's birthday as the Reveal-versary magma collab returns! 🎉

This year there will be two boards! One board will be the party room where you can join Sun and Moon to celebrate at the cake table while the second will be a themed board featuring two smaller bots that seem oddly familiar.

What is this year's special theme you wonder? Well... that will be a surprise until the day the event begins!

Curious on more about the collab? Here's a mini FAQ below!

What is Magma? Magma is a website you can load from your browser to draw with other artists on the same canvas/board in real time.

What is a Reveal-versary? Reveal-versary for when your indecisive between anniversary, reveal date or birthday! In this case it's a time to celebrate Sun and Moon!

What is the Revealversary collab? It's a collaborative event made up of two magma boards (canvases) where artists can add a character (or/and some decor) of their own!

Will there only be the collab boards? Like last year there will be some separate casual boards for those who just want to doodle for fun.

How long will the collab be open to draw in? The collab is initially aimed to be open for 1 week from posting time, after the week has passed the final result will be posted here!

Are there examples of what to expect? Yep! I hosted this same event in 2023 here and more recently for Ruin Eclipse day back in May!

Where will I be able to access it? The boards will be accessible through a post here from the day of opening! The event will also be posted in the @daycarefriendpickup's discord magma channel on the day! (Big thanks to the DFPU's mods for this!)

HAPPY REVEAL-A-VERSARY BABIES! WE LOVE YOU BOTH!

[arsonforcharlie]

happy 3 years on t to me. I might be having a rough past 6 months or so, but at least I get to look like this through it, and I love that. settling into the me I get to be is like getting to go to sleep in your own bed after a few weeks sleeping on a shitty couch, and I only wish I had figured out my shit earlier so I could have gotten to be this awesome version of me for longer.

happy pride, buds. being trans rules.

ITS HER BDAY SHE IS ONE YEAR OLD

lawrusso From Here to Eternity moment for the @ckreversebang 💕

[luckyartdrawer]

I'm messing around with Magma for the first time. I wanted to have an idea of how it works before trying any public art jams.

Take my first little test drawings and hold them gently, I will not be responsible if they bite though.

Any advice on how Magma etiquette works would be appreciated! I'm gonna look up some stuff myself, but hearing others experiences is always nice. :3

vvvv Moon close up vvvv

I've been seeing a lot of drawings where the crescent side is more like a mask while the left is more malleable and decided to give that design a lil try. :3

Happy Sun/Moon Reveal-versary! 🎉

The 21st of September has arrived meaning it's time to grab a slice of cake and celebrate as today is Sun and Moon's Reveal-versary/Birthday! In celebration of this, today is also the day the 2024 Reveal-versary magma collab opens!

The reveal-versary collab is a week-long event featuring two magma boards artists can draw in! (Time is dated from when this is originally posted.) Biblically accurate DCA, AUs and variations are all welcome to join in the celebrations! (If you have questions about what magma is or want to see some previous examples you can check out this post!)

Like last year the reveal-versary collab is split into two boards! Though starting from this year there will now be a surprise themed board each year!

The Party room: The main board where you can join Sun and Moon to celebrate their birthday! Grab a slice of cake, bring some snacks, add some gifts they may enjoy or add balloons if you wish!

Themed board: This years themed board is a Sleepover! Join a tiny pair of familiar faces over by a collection of pillows! Would you join in any mischief, join a sunny friend in some reading or simply get cosy during the sleepover? Feel free to add blankets, pillows, beanbags and maybe even some plushies!

Before jumping in here are the rules:

No NSFW

1 Character per board (For now! This may ease later into the event, this is to give people time/space to join when they can. Keep an eye on any updates for if this changes! Small props/additions can be added freely so long as they don't take too much space.)

Merge your layers when finished! (This is important to prevent slowdowns and allow others to draw if we go near the layer limit)

Sign your work (So I can credit you when the final result is posted!)

Keep your character a reasonable size (No characters that take up a large quarter of the canvas please!)

Please try to colour and finish your character/art if you can!

✨A additional thank you to the daycare friend pick-up server mods for their support with having this event run in their discord!

Without further ado, happy doodling and happy reveal-versary! 🎉

⭐Collab boards:

⭐Casual Boards: For those who want to doodle outside of the collab!

[iluminaughter]

HEYY! First to all, sorry about the lack of content, its been a really crazy month cooking SO many ideas and things to have, really GF fandom have a insane big feast to live o7

And welp, what better way to get back on the road with... oh! so now there's a BILLSONA APOCALYPSE!? I hope I'm not too late for a REDESIGN! And a silly sketchess kaskdja

I would rlly like to do a lore on this, but to put it mildly, I think their relationship is 50/50, at first Bill would take total control, but as time passes, Naugh's stupidity overwhelms him and in the end, he lets him add his own thingss (ex. the outfit!)

No background version! :
