#glory britney's version

[stacys-mom-has-got-it-goin-on]

During the conservatorship and after it ended:

[celaenaeiln]

12 am anon here. okay so uh we havent talked about it cause i rly dunno how to tell them “yeah i think ur rly cute and i love it when you ramble abt the things you like and sometimes i do wanna kiss u” . anyways what songs do u think are dick grayson coded

personally some that come to mind are surface pressure from encanto, bad idea right and brutal by olivia rodrigo, and nerves by dpr ian. spring day by bts specifically when it comes to donna and wally and all his other dead loved ones

*older post I'm getting to now, 12 am anon and girlfriend are happily together, I just needed time to collate a list*

But that aside, you are literally the cutest. You make me so happy every time ;)

Surface Pressure, Bad Idea Right, and Brutal are all spot on!

I'd never heard Nerves before but now I've listened to it on repeat

Spring Day (eng ver) hadn't even entered my mind but now it won't get out.

Honestly all of Taylor Swift's and Olivia Rorigo's songs match Dick so perfectly

Orange are feel goods/exciting/dramatic story creation types

Blacks are sad/meloncholy/reflection songs about the darker side

I guess this is a Dick Grayson playlist.

Songs-

Come Hang Out by AJR - The Titans with Dick

You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring - self-explanatory.

Warriors of the Mind

You're on your own kid

This kpop song (anon knows, you might too)

My Version of You by Beth Crowley - reminded me of Tim and Dick's relationship when they fought during Dick's Batman era

Stop you're losing me by Taylor Swift - matches Dick fighting with Bruce

Unstoppable by Sia - reminds me of how the entire Superhero community relies on Dick and how he reacts in response

Let the Games Begin by AJR - is Dick constantly acting and ready for attention. Dick dealing with Gotham high society

Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons - embodies him in his entirety. If there's one song that defines him, it's this for me.

Toxic Thoughts by Faith Marie - Him struggling with his insecurities of breaking his own records

Welcome to the Show by Britt Nicole - Robin Dick being a little psycho and taking his team on an adventure

The First One by Astrid S - careful. It's about Nightwing (1996) Issue #134. Not sure if it can be considered canon or not, it's a gray area for me

Leader of the Landslide by The Lumineers - Basically Dick's reaction to Bruce abandoning him with all the kids and him being protective of them. Relates to Gotham War most clearly but always

Fire by Gavin Degraw - Dick's bamfness and journey

Christmas Kids by Roar - Here comes Bruce's messed up attachment issues to Dick

Million to One by Camila Cabello - Dick's perfectionist issues and dreams of being greater

If You Go Down ( I'm Going Down Too) by Kelsea Ballerini - Dick and Donna's ride or die relationship.

Don't Think Just Run by Beth Crowley - Dick, leadership, and the superheroes' reliance on him

Labour - Dick hypothically getting tired of Bruce dumping every single thing on him

Panic Room by Au/Ra - Scarecrow telling Dick in Knight Terrors that his fear may be the scariest fear of them all. I'm just imagining everyone getting trapped in Dick's head and being forced to face his fear. That would be such a fun story to write.

Rise by Katy Perry - Dick will always overcome and thrive.

Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga - Dick with the Titans just as they score a major victory

Human by Christina Perri - Dick asking for a reprieve (in his head)

Human by Krewlla - Same but sadder

Dress by Charlotte Sands - Other people falling in love with Dick

Gold Rush by Taylor Swift - How other people fall in love wiht Dick told through the eyes of Barbara or Kori

Heart of Stone by Six the Musical - Dick's unwavering love for Bruce

Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths - Dick is Achilles.

Geronimo by Sheppard - Silver Age Teen Titans era except it's all of them.

Circus by Britney Spears - C'mon. He's performer born for the spotlight.

Je vole by Louane - Dick's message to Bruce about him leaving

Je vais t'aimer by Louane - The intensity of Dick's love that sometimes leaves his lovers entralled, breathless, and scared.

Location by AJR - Dick reaching out to someone (not necessarily romantic)

Bird Set Free by Sia - Dick lives for himself and his morals. He lives for peace.

She Sets the City on Fire by Gavin Degraw - Other people's point of view of Dick

Dark Paradise by Lana Del Rey - Dick's grief and mourning for Bruce's passing

Wonderland by Taylor Swift - Roy and Dick's relationship

Head Above the Water by Avril Lavigne - Dick being the superhero community's rock and leadership.

Nightmare by Halsey - Dick's a little wild but that's the reason he's still alive. This is just him going after Blockbuster.

Graveyard by Halsey - Dick literally keeping Bruce from destroying himself

The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy - Just Dick raising super powered team after team and yanking everyone onto their feet

Pompeii by Bastille - Dick's perspective after the bombing of Bludhaven

The entire sour album by Olivia Rodigro - To describe Dick and Bruce after Bruce fired him

Troublemaker by Olly Murs - How literally none of his exes can let him go

Issues by Julia Michaels - Dick and Kori's relationship

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth - Dick and the Titans

Monster by Eminem and Rihanna - The amount of times people have told Dick he was crazy and he laughed and did it anyway

Superhero by Simon Curtis - Teen Titans Dick

Thunder by Imagine Dragons - Dick always takes charge of himself and his own destiny

A Million Dreams, the Greatest Showman - It literally sounds like Dick's inner thoughts to make Gotham a better place

Brave by Sara Bareilles - It's reminiscent of Dick's speech to Conner

Secrets and Lies by Death Note the Musical - This is Outsiders Dick Grayson to a T

Playing His Game by Death Note the Musical - This is how Dick solves all his crimes and mysteries

Drinking alone by Carrie Underwood - Ric Grayson

My fantasy version of Britney Spears' 2016 album Glory. A re-imagined tracklist, omitting some and a different single line-up.

[annyankers]

👀👀👀

send in a 👀 for oc lore!!!!

you get 3 hits and i'll mix it up a bit on who we're talking about

my top oc is Brooke who's Buffy's younger identical twin sister and became a slayer at the same time as her. she stemmed from a thought experiment about how slayers work and things that could glitch it like say, potentially identical twins. it's also a way to explore the whole slayer vs girl thing. the best way to describe her is aesthetically 00s Britney meets Sporty Spice and personality wise she's a mix of Faith and Buffy. if Cordelia is Buffy's "rode not traveled" shadow self then Brooke is faith's Cordelia, she's kinda coarse sports girl ace who when she fails into some Serious Life Issues like drugs has family and friends who support her. it a version of life i can see faith thriving in but she never got. they also date in s3 (it goes badly lol). the twins tend to share slayer dreams and if one dies the other will also die because they're not 2 slayers like Buffy and Faith, they register as 1 slayer (like i said before they're a slayer glitch) and they found that out the hard way. i could go on for ages but i will Refrain lol

the next two ocs are ones who come from the same fic universe as brooke but i also in other stories two bc why???? make more when you have perfectly good ocs at home????

Charlotte Worth is a watcher who gets assigned to faith and has big emma frost energy. she's a wealthy new englander who like, Cares About Children even while being a stole cold bitch. she and Faith end up having a good relationship bc Charlotte consistenly got to bat for her and is just very Mom-Like to her which you know..... kinda fucks Faith up a lot lol. she's a necromancer as well and not afraid to use that against people. in one fic i have her using her necromancy to solve the whole "Darla has to die to save the baby" shit in ats. and like yeah it kills her but only for a second! she gets better! she's between Giles and Wesley in age and she bullies both of them.

Katherine "Kat" Farwell is the scion of the Farwell family, one the founding families of Sunnydale (so they're evil lol). She's also not the host for an old one. she is an old one. basically her family is the sunnydale branch of a global cult spanning millennia that worships the power that be/old one whomst created humankind and have worked to slowly return them to the earth after they died trying to build a utopia for humanity safe from the demons of the primordial age. ofc this means deals with demons, ritual sacrifices, magic eugenics etc etc etc. like Kat had siblings! never met any of them! did get fed them tho! the idea is just bringing forth more of their god's essence and then distilling it into a single host via breeding and cannibalism and that kinda shit (it's all only possibly bc mankind was made from this old one's flesh so). it's terrible! kat's nice tho. she's a mix of daria and rory from gilmore girls. she's class president and one of the only 2 survivors of the sunnydale high art club. between the fights with glory and jasmine (whomst she devours ofc) she fully transitions to pure old one and is honestly like.... Weirder But The Same tbh. she doesn't look different like illyria vs fred but she has an uncanny valley vibe to her looks. she's basically you know, an eldritch god on earth that no one could kill if they tired but she's nice and not interested in destroying the world so it works out. maloker is her archnemesis bc they're STILL pissed off about the defilement and corruption of their fave creation he did in the making of vampires. the mc vampires get a pass but they're on THIN ICE.

While writing about Britney Jean, I remembered something kinda random. There are rumors that RCA wants to release an anniversary version of Britney Jean.

It appears that Britney has left/is leaving RCA/Sony and signed with Universal Music (https://www.umusicpub.com/us/Artists/B/Britney-Spears.aspx). She’s already in their website.

If Britney still has album releases in her contract with RCA, it would make sense to complete the contract by re-releasing music. Like they already have done with the Crossroads soundtrack CDs.

It’s not publicly known who owns the rights to Britney’s music catalog. Since Glory is the only album displayed on her Universal Music page, it might be that UM only were able to buy the ownership/rights for Glory.

My media this week (29 May-4 Jun 2022)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😊 Rose Blue (Metalbvcky) - reread of this modern no-powers Stucky BDSM fic because I also read a lot of the shorter follow-on fics and wanted to refresh my memory on these characterizations

🥰 👂 The Murder of Mr. Wickham (Claudia Gray, author; Billie Fulford-Brown, narrator) - this is a mashup of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, in that all of Austen's characters gather for a house party and then there's a murder - I feel like this is a book where either you're here for the premise and enjoy the ride or you should stay away entirely. For my part I had a blast reading this, just a fun, entertaining romp. I am fine with all the modernizing touches that literally everyone writing today does in historical fiction. I enjoyed seeing a possible version of (mostly) beloved characters after their HEAs, some as much as 20+ years on! Of course the Tilneys' daughter would be the one with enough gumption and curiosity to want to investigate a murder! Of course the Darcys have a son who's very neurodivergent! Loved the scene where Elizabeth has a little too much wine (after an extremely bad day) and channels a little too much of her dad! Shout out to the info we get about Mary Bennet's happily ever after; four for you, Mary! Can't believe this book made me remotely tolerate Fanny & Edmund! The murder was decently plotted and played 'the game' as it should be. Anyway, if this is your flavor of amusement, you'll know it.

😍 The Rules of Play (Ribbonsflying) - loved this Stucky historical BDSM AU - loved the power dynamics at play and has one of the hottest ice play scenes I've read

🥰 Wish Granted (ambut) - another really good variation on the 'recovering veteran Bucky finds solace and some healing with professional Dom Steve' - this had lots of delish praise kink which I eat like ice cream and also a more realistic depiction of Bucky dealing with his amputation/prosthetic which was nice to see

💖💖 +263K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Say it louder for the people in the back (redhook) - MCU: shrinkyclinks AU, 14K - reread of THEE preeminent glory hole fic in this fandom - no matter how many times I read it, it's never not fantastic

Lullaby for Futures Lost - Chapter 16: Vignettes Part 2 - The End (Oh_i_swear) - MCU: shrunkyclunks omegaverse AU, 8K - delightful post HEA vignettes in this wonderful universe

CobyCobs Predictions on Music (Because I was bored EDITION)

Hello guys, I hope you are well, today I bring you some predictions for music because I was bored (of what is left of 2022 and for 2023), I hope you like it!

1.- Country becomes Mainstream (leaving hip hop and rap aside): I am not going to deny that the Billboard hot 100 is filling up with Country artists, moreover, several country artists are close to the top 10. So my prediction is that between July, August or November, Country becomes mainstream, occupying a part of what is ending up being hip hop and rap (genres that could leave the mainstream in 2023)

2.-2022 and 2023 are bad years for certain musical genres, that despite the fact that the MVs have many visits on YouTube, it will be very difficult for them to enter the hot 100.

3.-Possible revival of Metal (such as Pop Punk) and great revival of another genre (new rise of Electronic Music)

4.-In 2023, the most dominant musical genres would be: Pop Rock, Metal, Country, Pop, Electronica and Hip Hop (but the latter almost null)

5.- The music will be more demanding due to some changes in the Grammys and a certain speech that a certain artist will give in 2023, who will complain about the lack of variety.

6.- Many One Hit Wonders in July, December or January

7.- Artist One Hit Wonder of 2022 will cease to be at the end of the year.

8.-Because their genres will leave the Mainstream, most singers will try hard to forcefully reinvent themselves, some will fail, others will pass without pain or glory and others will succeed.

9.- New Pop Wave thanks to Tik Tok, the app will seek to create more pop songs, which means that original Tik Tok artists will come (Some will be well received and others not so much).

10.-Due to the Waves of Pop Rock and Pop, many young artists will come

11.-Return of: Rihanna (late 2022 or early 2023), Selena Gomez (2023), Britney Spears (late 2023 or early 2024), Lil Nas X (EP in 2023), Olivia Rodrigo (late 2022 or mid 2023), Sam Smith (2023), Doja Cat (2023 or early 2024), The Weeknd (1 or 2 singles in 2022, album in 2023)

12.- European artists will be on the charts during the end of 2022 and 2023

13.- Some old songs will return to the billboard

14.- New bands (Girlgroup and Boyband)

15.-the months of October, November 2022 and February 2023 will be full of One Hit Wonders

16.-Flops of: Camila Cabello (2023), Ed Sheeran (he will be highly criticized for his next album, which will be the same as always), Saweetie, Kanye West (Although he has been flopping with Donda), Jack Harlow.

17.- The VMAS '22 will have some fights between artists, like the Grammys '23

18.-At the end of 2022 or during 2023 we will see more Taylor´s Version (Speak now Taylor´s Version, 2006 Taylor´s Version or 1989 Taylor´s Version), but Taylor will release albums, which will be Pop and Country (these albums would be a mix between Red, 1989 and Fearless)

19.- Miley Cyrus will release another pop rock album, to which she will do very well

20.-Some artists will unfortunately die during 2023

Album Review: Confetti by Little Mix

During one of the bleakest years in human history, Little Mix has delivered us pure joy and happiness in the form of their sixth studio album: CONFETTI. I became a fan of Little Mix, a Mixer is what we’re called, a few years ago when I clicked on one of my coworker’s Spotify playlists. The first song of theirs I can recall listening to is “F.U.” from their fourth album Glory Days. After looking up their other albums I then ventured over to YouTube so I could watch a few of their music videos. I instantly fell in love with the choreo-heavy “Touch” and the slumber party-themed “Hair”. I then started looking at their live performances and I was blown away. For me, Little Mix is everything I ever wanted out of Fifth Harmony. Now before I get some hate, Fifth Harmony is/was a great pop group and without them we wouldn’t have Normani, but whereas some of the girls in Fifth Harmony are/were more vocally talented than others, each of the members of Little Mix - Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie - have amazing voices and those voices blend together so perfectly.

I’m so glad I discovered Little Mix when I did because it gave me enough time to binge their albums, music videos and live performances just in time for their fifth studio album LM5 to drop. If I had to rank the albums prior to CONFETTI, LM5 would definitely be at the top of my list. Realistically-speaking, the album didn’t perform as well as their other albums but the album is damn near perfect in my opinion. I then later learned the girls were going through a separation with their then-record label Syco which is a major factor in why the album didn’t perform as well as it could. 

CONFETTI is Little Mix’s first album since leaving Syco so many of us were very much looking forward to what the girls were going to deliver without having Simon Cowell standing on their neck. Our first taste of a newly emancipated Little Mix came in the form of the 80′s-inspired “Break Up Song”. They released their second single “Holiday” in the middle of the summer and their third single “Sweet Melody” was released a few weeks ahead of the album’s November 6 release. Being in the United States, I stayed up past midnight so I can listen to the album and since it’s release it’s been in heavy rotation on Spotify. I thought it would be fun to review the album and rate each of the tracks. There are 13 tracks on CONFETTI and I will be giving my thoughts on each track as well as a score based on a scale of 10. For those of you reading this, keep in mind, I am one of way too many Little Mix fans to count so if there are tracks that you like that I do not rate as high, just remember this is my opinion so forgive me, HAHA. Without further ado, here’s my review of CONFETTI:

BREAK UP SONG: The first track on the album is also the album’s first single. Break Up Song is not only a total vibe, it’s a total 80s vibe. I was delightfully surprised when Little Mix released this song earlier this year. I love that this song is yet another reminder of just how freakin’ talented these ladies are. My favorite part of the track is Jade’s bridge towards the end of the song. The song is bright and fun and I simply cannot resist busting out some serious 80s dance moves every time the song comes on.  Rating: 10/10

HOLIDAY: While Break Up Song gives up 80s pop vibes, Holiday sticks its toes in the contemporary pop pool. It makes sense that this song was released smack dab in the middle of the summer because it is the perfect summer jam. I especially love the accompanying music video which features the girls luxuriating in a spa somewhere on the moon or maybe Mars. It’s sugary and sweet and just like Break Up Song it’s one of those songs you can’t resist dancing to. It should be noted Holiday is the second single off of CONFETTI and it is one of my top 3 favorite tracks off the album. Rating: 10/10

SWEET MELODY: When I first heard the reggaeton-infused Sweet Melody, my initial reaction was meh. Thank God I listened to the song again ... and again ... and again ... because on the second, third and fourth listening, I realized just how truly epic this song is. The lyrics are quite brilliant with my favorite being the Perrie-led second verse: “He would lie, he would cheat, over syncopated beats.” Not only is the song a banger, the music video is one of the best visuals Little Mix has ever released. The choreography is fire and you can tell they put their blood, sweat, tears and spinal cord into their dancing. Sweet Melody is my favorite track on CONFETTI. Rating: 10/10

CONFETTI: Prior to the release of CONFETTI, this track was made available. This song gives me late-90s/early-2000s R&B vibes and I quite enjoy it. It doesn’t hit as nearly as hard as Sweet Melody��but this is yet another song I can picture being played in a club. If Little Mix releases any more singles from this album, which I believe they should, I think Confetti is a strong contender. I imagine the music video will be very heavy on the choreo.  Rating: 9/10

HAPPINESS: Category Is: Songs That Could Have Been Released By Britney Spears in the Early 2000s. Happiness is yet another track that was released ahead of the album. Unlike the first three tracks of the album which are very much songs about relationships, past and present, Happiness is the self-empowerment anthem we never knew we needed, especially in the year of our Lord 2020. Happiness is a splashy pop song but it doesn’t elicit the strong emotions I felt when listening to Break Up Song or Sweet Melody.  Rating: 9/10

NOT A PROP SONG: One of the things I like about Little Mix is every so often they’ll release an acoustic version of their popular songs, i.e., Black Magic, Touch, Holiday. This song is acoustic rock and it is not a sound I was ever expecting from Little Mix. If there was a sequel to National Manthem, it would be Not a Pop Song. I like to think of this as Little Mix’s emancipation proclamation after fleeing the clutches of one Simon Cowell. My favorite lyric from the song is in the chorus: “No more singing songs bout breaking my heart or my lonely nights dancing in the dark.” I absolutely adore this song and it gives me early Kelly Clarkson vibes.  Rating: 10/10

NOTHING BUT MY FEELINGS: This song from beginning to end is an absolute treat. I love how lowkey the song starts off and after the chorus, you assume the song is going to keep amping up but at the start of the second verse it goes back to being lowkey again. I love a song that keeps me guessing. I especially love the theme of the song, the struggle of wanting to keep things super casual with someone when deep down you are developing strong feelings for them even though you know you shouldn’t. If there was any doubt the ladies of Little Mix are not grown, this is proof. Rating: 9/10

GLOVES UP: One thing I like doing whenever a new album by one of my favorite artists is released is heading over to YouTube and watching people’s reaction the albums. It seem likes Gloves Up is a favorite off of this album and I just don’t get it. I don’t like to skip tracks, especially on Little Mix albums, but admittedly this is the one I’m tempted to skip when I’m listening to CONFETTI. I like the message but the song is a bit cliché. I hope that repeatedly listening of this track will make me like it, especially since I have a very strong feeling this is going to end up being a single. Rating: 6/10

A MESS (HAPPY 4 U): If Break Up Song had a sequel it would be this track. I love the lyrics and I love the instrumentation. It’s a gorgeous track and again something unexpected from Little Mix. I love Jade’s falsetto on this track.  Rating: 9/10

MY LOVE WON’T LET YOU DOWN: I feel like in addition to giving us great dance bops, Little Mix also delivers when it comes to ballads. The gospel-tinged My Love Won’t Let You Down is absolutely gorgeous and will be the perfect closing song on one of their tours. There are Little Mix songs where I think, wow, I’d love to see what the music video would look like and then there are Little Mix songs where I think, wow, I’d love to see how they’d perform this. This track is definitely of the latter variety. All four of our queen’s vocals are on point.  Rating: 10/10

RENDEZVOUS: Remember how I said there are three songs on this album that are my favorite? Sweet Melody is my fave track on the album and Rendezvous is my second-favorite. Rendezvous is sexy and sleek and reminds me of something Ciara would’ve released early on in her career. I also love that it samples the song Sway. I cannot wait to see how they perform this song on tour and I would love for this to be a future single because I would love to see Little Mix turn up the sex on one of their songs. This song reminds me of Notice for some reason from LM5. When Little Mix does sexy, the do sexy right! Rating: 10/10

IF YOU WANT MY LOVE: Like Gloves Up, If You Want My Love is another meh track on this album which sucks because it’s literally sandwiched between two perfect songs on the album. Perhaps this is another one I’ll have to keep listening to in hopes that it will grow on me. Right now I’m feeling pretty blasé about the track. Rating: 6/10

BREATHE: Yay! We get not just one ballad on CONFETTI but two! This is the perfect close to a pretty awesome Little Mix album. I’m happy to report the album ends as strong as it begins. Of the two ballads, I prefer My Love Won’t Let You Down but that shouldn’t suggest I don’t like this song. I love it and it’s another one I’d love to see performed live. Rating: 10/10

Wait For It , from the Hamilton Musical: Not the whole song, if anything really just this line "I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable, I am an original. I'm not falling behind or running late. I'm not standing still I am lying in wait."

Waiting in the Wings , tangled the series. : the lines "Guess we all are born with parts with play. Some of us are stars and some are just in the way. I know that I was meant for glory, but that's never what my story brings. And yet I keep on waiting."

Waiting in the wings reprise- just really, really fitting for how it was with the cult leader of the cult that raised him until eleven was.

I'm still here, Treasure planet: The lines "What do you think you'd understand, I'm a boy- no I'm a man. You can't take me and throw me away."

Mavis/Kalamity songs

I can't help falling in love with you ( Kina Grannis version) - the "Shall I stay, would it be a sin" bit just gets me.

I was a island by Alison Weiss

Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance: "I got a bullet proof heart. You got a hollow point smile." works really well with these two, both being good with guns.
