#cadbury!verse

[finelinevogue]

these are angsty times, so i feel like a good angsty blurb about h never making time for you is one idea. but since these are angsty times, then maybe it also calls for fluff so maybe h likes to do one thing different in any of his songs for you every show? kind of like sabrina carpenter’s nonsense outro? so like maybe during keep driving, he always sings something different to you or about you?

pls tell me i’m making sense, i can’t talk i’m too excited

okay hello. of course my first blurb back would be requested at the hands of our very own nova (this is especially for you);

(this is part of the harryshouse!universe too)

It was a known thing that Harry was very much in love with you.

If anything, the poor man was so in love with you he got teased for it. Even the fans were in on some of the jokes. You being a well known Youtuber and social media influencer meant that Harrys doting love was often well publicised.

Actions such as him buying you flowers, him making you dinner or taking you out for a fancy dinner would be shown on your Instagram for fans, and everyone else, to see. However, simple things like stolen kisses, hand-written love notes and 3AM ice-cream runs for you were actions that you kept secret and close to your heart.

Those actions were yours and Harrys alone.

There were some actions, however that were made overtly public so even people that didn't have Instagram or follow you would hear of.

Some of Harrys love declarations made National news headlines.

Specifically the changing of lyrics at his concerts.

Like stated, it was no surprise that the love Harry had for you would cause him to do some crazy things, but Harry changing his lyrics on stage would always be on of the greater, funnier, gestures for you. What's more, is they were as public as they came.

It started with 'Keep Driving'. In New York, night 3.

Nobody was expecting the show to be any different musically to the night before, except for when he changed the lyrics to 'Keep Driving'. At first the fans thought he was singing a different song, but afterwards, through re-watching videos, they came to learn the new lyrics he'd made.

"Cocain, Y/N's boob. I choke her, with a sea view."

When you had come to realise what he had sung you had gone red in the face.

"Harry!"

He knew he was in trouble just from the fact you used his full and proper name, rather than he loving nicknames you used for one another.

"In the kitchen, love." He answered back, swivelling on the barstool chair to face the door you would come through.

When he saw you, you were red in the face and were shaking your head with a sarcastic grin. Harry smiled as he watched you walk over to him, dressed in one of his tour jumpers and a pair of joggers.

You stopped in front of him and he immediately brought you closer, sliding his warm hands underneath the jumper and running them up and down your back.

"What's with the pout, hm?" He asked.

"You know." You challenged him, wanting to see whether he did or did not in fact know.

"If it's about the fact I bought you Galaxy instead of Cadbury's chocolate, again, i've already apologised five times." He groaned.

"It's not about that actually," You shook your head, "But you should know that no amount of apologies will fix that problem."

Harry smiled and shook his head at you. "Then what, baby?"

You turned your phone around and showed him a video of the previous night on stage, singing the new version of ‘Keep Driving’. He nodded his head along to the music and you noticed no sense of regret or guilt to what he had done.

You looked expectantly at him once you’d finished showing it to him.

“Well?” 

“Well what?”

“What the fuck was that? You basically outed the fact that I am a very kinky lady.”

Harry snorted a laugh. “Baby, you’re not a lady if you let me choke you.”

“So you both admit and are okay with how you sang that verse.”

“Uh everyone knew the song was about you anyways, love. It’s not that hard to figure it out, since I’ve only ever been in love with you.” He counter argued, making very good points.

“Well now they’re starting a fan project to sing that line instead of the original version.” You grumbled. “So they’re collectively singing about my boobs and you choking me.”

He didn’t day anything but just smiled.

You pushed away from him but he was quick to grab your hand and pull you even closer back to his chest.

“At the end of the day, I’m only choking you.” 

And at that, he had pretty much won the argument - later proving his last remark to you. 

Since that ‘Keep Driving’ impromptu lyric change, Harry has been clever in building them into the rest of the set. He doesn’t make the lyric changes every night on stage, even if the fans do sing the new version, but sometimes he’ll be spontaneous and create a new one. 

“If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you. Y/Ns the spoon, dip them in honey so I could be sticking to youu.”

There was even one show where he saw you standing with a tub of ice-cream and he came over to sing to you:

“Is that ice-cream edible, ‘Cause my stomach’s not that full. Can I have a little taste? Just a taste?” 

Before he leant down to taste the ice-cream and screamed ‘oh yeah’ afterwards whilst he continued to dance. 

Never was there quite someone who showed their love for their partner, the way that Harry did for you.

"Kiss me, close your eyes and miss me"

Whether you've heard it on the television, the radio, or seen it on your social media feed, the Cadbury ad has become an unforgettable part of our cultural landscape. Its enchanting melody and heartwarming visuals have created a timeless allure that transcends generations. From children to adults, everyone seems to know and love this magical jingle.

The Cadbury ad, "Kiss Me Close Your Eyes and Miss," has become more than just an advertisement; it's a part of our shared experiences and a source of nostalgia that brings smiles to our faces. It's a jingle that unites us, and we find ourselves randomly singing it in the most unexpected places - in the shower, while cooking, or during a leisurely stroll.

Lyrically, the song is straightforward, comprising a simple and charming verse that revolves around the idea of cherishing sweet moments of love and joy. The main chorus, "Kiss me, close your eyes, and miss me," repeats throughout the jingle, creating a memorable and easy-to-sing-along melody that lingers in the listener's mind.

The song's core theme is love, presented in an innocent and tender manner. The lyrics evoke a sense of warmth and affection, emphasizing the sweetness of love and the power of cherished moments. It appeals to a wide range of audiences, from children to adults, due to its innocent portrayal of love.

Moreover, the jingle's simplicity and universality made it easily relatable, fostering an emotional connection with the brand. It tapped into the viewers' emotions, invoking feelings of happiness, nostalgia, and love, which helped strengthen Cadbury's brand image as a purveyor of joy and togetherness.

I believe that this Cadbury song stands as a shining example of how a simple, heartwarming melody and lyrics can create a profound impact. Through its emphasis on love, innocence, joy, and togetherness, the jingle succeeded in leaving a positive and lasting impression on the hearts of consumers, making it an iconic and memorable piece of advertising in the realm of Indian television.

On analysing it through the core concepts of media and communication, the Cadbury ad, "Kiss Me Close Your Eyes and Miss," can be analyzed in several ways. Firstly, it exemplifies the notion that all media messages are "constructed" and designed by someone. The ad's creators carefully crafted its scenes, visuals, and lyrics to evoke specific emotions and convey a particular message of innocent love and joy associated with Cadbury chocolates. Secondly, the ad highlights the distinction between the 'news' (i.e., the product's features and benefits) and the 'event' (the heartwarming portrayal of diverse relationships). While the product is subtly featured, the central focus lies on the emotional impact, ensuring that the ad's intent is more about creating an emotional connection with the audience rather than merely presenting product information. Thirdly, the ad undergoes numerous "additions and subtractions" during its production, as the final version might have gone through edits to enhance its emotional appeal and align it with the brand's desired image. The simplistic and inclusive representation of love, while heartwarming, might have been carefully curated to appeal to a broader audience. Thus, the Cadbury ad exemplifies how media messages are consciously constructed, designed to create emotional connections, and undergo refinement through additions and subtractions before reaching the audience.

Whoosh. Another Cannes Ad Festival has come and gone, and here I am, empty-handed yet full of opinions on who actually deserves their Lion. Rawr. Here we go.

Brand Experience & Activation /

Fifa 23 X Ted Lasso, for EA Sports and Apple, by Apple, Cupertino, and EA Sports, Redwood

Maybe I'm not into football, maybe i'm not familiar with the show Ted Lasso. It's a collaboration that makes sense, but importing existing real-life characters and objects into the meta verse? Done to death and hardly ground-breaking. Next.

Creative B2B /

EART4, for B3 Stock Exchange and United Nations Global Impact, by AlmapBBDO, São Paulo

Listing Earth as a stock. Interesting. But im still confused--do people actually buy and sell the shares like it's a real stock? Because Eart4 certainly does not look bullish to me.

Creative Business Transformation /

ADLaM – An Alphabet To Preserve A Culture, for Microsoft, by McCann New York

It's nice that big corp have to occasionally do something meaningful to keep up their brand image. Suss out a semi-dire issue in third world communities and offer to solve it with basic technology. A low-hanging fruit and fail-proof award-clinching method. No complaints, I guess.

Creative Commerce /

The Subconscious Order, for HungerStation, by Wunderman Thompson, Riyadh

Um I have many issues with this idea. Firstly 'subconscious choice' could just as easily be 'marketing manipulation'. Who knows when they show you that you're craving a McMuffin at midnight that it's not because Macdonalds paid them a few extra grand to be featured? Secondly does my eye lingering at some eye-catching image of a blue-coloured ice cream necessarily mean I want blueberry gelato for dessert? I'm not sure if this kind of measurement is accurate. The insight of choice overload is true though, just not a fan of this solution.

Creative Data /

The Artois Probability, for Stella Artois, by GUT, Buenos Aires

I usually love ideas that dive into arts/history/pop culture. But all these efforts just to prove that Artois was the beer of choice in Victorian times and has a legacy dating back to the B.C. era or sth...is kinda lame. Also verifying the Artois brand through the illustrations of a can? ...I can't.

*I know it's been a slew of disappointment so far, but stay with me, there are some worthy ideas below.*

Creative Effectiveness /

Shah Rukh Kahn-My-Ad, for Cadbury Celebrations, by Ogilvy Mumbai

The first positively creative one so far. Now this is how you leverage data and tech effectively: by making one superstar ad and replicating it by the hundreds to promote small and local businesses. The doors to deep fake AI are officially thrown wide open. Yay and also, yikes👀

Creative Strategy /

Plug-Inn, for Renault, by Publicis Conseil, Paris

Whoever thought of this, you sold yourself short by selling this idea to Renault as a campaign. It's basically a peer-to-peer AirBnB business model. Should've pitched this as your own personal side hustle start-up.

Never Done Evolving Featuring Serena, for Nike, by AKQA, Portland, and AKQA Melbourne

Paying homage the glorious (23-time Grand Slam winner) career of tennis legend Serena Williams is very on brand for Nike. It's like a very cool passion project of a sports enthusiast. Unfortunately, I am no sports enthusiast.

Direct /

Runner 321, for Adidas, by FCB Toronto

I love that 321 refers to Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and also sounds like 3,2,1, ready set go. An elegant idea to kickstart a new tradition.

Entertainment For Gaming /

Clash From The Past, for Clash of Clans, by Wieden + Kennedy, Portland.

No, just no. Again, huge waste of effort that amounts to basically nothing. Sorry Clash of Clans fans, but we really need technology and man-hours to be used more productively.

Karate is sad because she just found out that one of her favorite bloggies is no more, and now her main source of awesome fox pics with which to write her fox and friends drabbles is gone, and so, there probably will not be any more drabbles for a while.

kristen or lapin?

wow you really pin-pointed the very core of my love for dimension 20. As much as I feel kinship towards (especially s1) Kristen - not really for her backstory, more for her badly concealed chaos and the way she is on such a wild intellectual journey - as much as I love her it has to be Lapin. The complexity of his story, his defiance till the end, the layers of lies he was living under, the utter joy his silly stuffy voice brought. Truly there may never be anyone to rival Lapin.

Justicar Verse (Final Part)

N/A: Oh yes, the final part is here. Brian and Kurt want redemption...they´ll have to work to get it...Brian and Kurt won´t get Scott-free just claiming ignorance. I get it, they didn´t know and are naive...but they will have to work to achieve this.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @djinmer4 @bamfoftheundead @everykurt @muninandhugin

The streets are crowded with people freely about their daily life- some are preparing a big celebration, while others are mourning the death of Magneto and Prof X- and some ladies are looking at the indigo man walking with his head down and dragging his feet ignoring the looks- or maybe, pretending to be that clueless- and as some ladies are baiting her eyelashes at the indigo figure, ignoring their male companion, causing them to take an attitude- as his golden eyes are gazing at two men not happy with such indigo man.

"Hey, creature! This is a street for normal humans and mutants. You´re not allowed" one of them said transmitting a fuming look to the indigo man and his date- still seem very impressed by his body-and the indigo man´s eyes wide at this and looks at the two men with a somewhat deadpan expression. "Everyone is free to walk here...there´s no law impeding"

And one of them sneers as if waiting for his cue. "According to Lady Psylocke, you´re no longer allowed...unless you want to be cured" and how the conversation escalated to a fight is up in the air and Kurt- he makes a point to introduce himself as he beats them up- is more than enough to face two jealous men.

The fight is now escalating to a dangerous degree and Kurt is not sure if he can face everyone, perhaps, Kurt Wagner being well-trained thanks to the Justicar- a cruel irony now- could continue fighting...even if some people joining the fight are Justicar. They didn´t reconize Kurt...without his uniform and make no desire to know.

I wanted to be a hero. "It was for us to help the mutants and humans...not the be ...this" Kurt screams letting his feelings out and see no problem in breaking one of the helmets of his ex-compatriots. "We´re not heroes. I´m not a hero" and looking at the destruction he made- in self-defense or in pure angry?- he teleports away.

"Congratulations! You saw the truth" a feminine voice mocks him and Kurt looks up to see Shadowcat floating over him with her typical smile. "Fight with Justicar?"

"We´re not heroes...Shadowcat, we´re not heroes...Are you here to kill me?"

"That would be too easy" she lands on the floor gracefully and Kurt can see the grass getting wild and wilder as if they´re on the different time. "Do you want to die or do you want to redemption?"

"Redemption!" ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Brian Braddock is a man with a degree in engineering and thought Justicar was the hope for humanity, however, the way to hell is paved with good intentions and Brian can see this now. "For what´s worth...I´m sorry. The Justicars were to protect...not hurt" and Gloriana is preparing herself for the big day. She watches Brian carefully.

"I know you feel sorry. I know you feel regret...but, I can´t pardon for your ignorance nor I have this power to do so. If you want to be the hero you so wanted to be...prove it and help us" Gloriana states and concludes in a soft tone. "and for what´s worth, I don´t hate you, Brian...I can´t"

________________________________________________________________________________________

Psylocke is foreseeing this moment, however, not in this way. She wanted to kill Gloriana a long time but never expect her armies would be that strong and never expect Shadowcat to attack so viciously. She´s forced to be secluded in her own tower. Her strength and her only weakness now. "I need to focus...and use the spell" she clunch the Medalion- Merlin is a croak old man and a pretty face can open many doors- slowly recites the spell causing the kinetic butterfly energy to grow and she is trying to control the rebellion.

She frowns as everyone is chanting protective spells...spells that belong to one person. "Scarlet Witch! Should have killed her!" and tries to think something better to do, something painfully to attack her enemies, yet, as Gloriana and Shadowcat arrived in the tower and don´t plan to talk...the rebellion ends on their favor.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Brian assumed Justicar and revealed the awful truth to everyone, apologies are the bare minimum right now and he wants to do better, he and Kurt share this view. "The Justicar is no more. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and the price is not worth" he states and Kurt, not shapeshifting, agrees and speaks about how ignorance and naivete are equally dangerous as cruelty.

Redemption is a long way for them, but, they won´t give up. And the world is slowly changing for the better. Some mutants that were changed are happier as humans now - Toad can admit this as much is painful and opens a new door of possibility for him- while others want their powers back.

Shadowcat and Magik devise a machine-power by Magik´s magic- that can restore the powers without any pain- and Ororo Monroe, the Future Queen Wakanda was present to witness the change.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Epilogo:

Excalibur arrives at this dimension and Nightcrawler witnesses a Shadowcat, wearing the same outfit as his Shadowcat giving orders to Meggan with short hair and to add the confusion a human version of Nightcrawler raises his sword at him. "Who are you?" and adds. "Katzchen, do you want to handle this, or can I?"

"Well, he´s fuzzy like you...but he could be different  from you"

Kurt Wagner from Excalibur is confused and a bit jealousy as this Kurt seems to be way closer to his Kitty.
