i think it’s funny there wasn’t a spike in women in pop being listened to when taylor switched genres, no one was listening to country more when taylor was planted in the scene. just listened to taylor specifically. but Beyonce puts out a couple country singles and her popularity lifts other artists up with her, because that’s the kind of base she attracts. telling.

“When comedian Ben Schwartz walks (runs, actually) on stage at Radio City Music Hall this weekend, he'll be making history. His long-form improv show, Ben Schwartz & Friends, is the first improv show to headline the iconic venue.”
Ge mentioned on Twitter that they were careful not to cross the picket line with this interview. Check it out at the source link. His love for NYC is so joy-filled. In a Twitter thread he talks about the path to get to the cover of this magazine and how important it is to him
Enjoy! Happy whatever day it is. Hope you find a reason to smile like Ben Schwartz on the cover of Time Out!!
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN (TO GET SPLATTERED)
OOH MYSTERY! PANIC! DRAMA! EMOTIONS!! LOTS N LOTS OF MEAT, SCARES, AND DICK-OUT FUN!
BLOOD IN THE BAYOU HAS GOT IT ALL BABY!!!
blood in the bayou would make SUUUCh a great campy horror movie, its real in my heart, so real.....
tbh not bad but i can prove to you i did not listen to running up that hill more than any arctic monkeys song like that’s not possible spotify why are you lying
15,420??????? really???????? nah the only way i function when doing school work is with music so i’m honestly surprised it’s not higher than that
but this is all that matters to me. top 1%, i’ll take it!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE THEM THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME THROUGH THE YEAR KINGS <3333333333333
I love your unhealthy clingy famous MC you don't understand how feral I'm over him
THANK YOU I LOVE HIM SO DEARLY TOO!!!!! the backstory with absent parents and just. everything about seven... i think makes a lot of infamous ocs potentially lean into this?? or at least there are a ton of choices that just made me go "oh yeah. that's him" . idk there is an element to how infamous is written that really helps with characterising him, including how customisable it is, and i do love that about this IF!!!!! crying about him below the cut <3
aki kind of navigates the world worried his loved ones will leave him and is a little too clingy because of it. he also has been playing those worries off by being charming, flirty and funny. like he can somehow project this hyper-extrovered version of himself and try to make people love that !!! he drops that more around his bandmates/friends, but not in front of people he's just met (please guess who accidentally escalated the bed fight on the tour bus)
aki also hooks up with people a lot, just cause he likes sex but also because he enjoys the no-strings-attached. because of those attachment issues, when he gets something that feels black and white to him, something one-and-done and he leaves in the morning, he can just. take feelings out the equation. he knows its not meant to last so he can just walk out (leave! hit da bricks!!! walk out!!!!!)
committing to a romantic relationship . you can imagine. is a little complicated due to all this LMFAO he just overthinks and worries before even getting into it, regardless of if it's reciprocated or not. between the one time he's actually into someone (seven) and how that ended (...badly) + the fact that deliriously avoiding commiting to anything except hookups = very little (none at all) actual dating experience. aki has no idea to deal with it and will balk. yeah this is immature of him but i have plans to make this guy character develop so hard throughout the course of infamous that he may implode
i love the genre of character where they're just going "i know i have a few issues, who doesn't, but honestly i think i'm well adjusted!!" <- they are not well adjusted. in fact they're worse than they think
also no one asked for the orionmance essay i sent my friend but here it is <3
