02: Lyrics from the most recent song that made you think of a Marauders Era character

Last night I was listening to July by Laur Elle (who is amazing btw and just put out a new album) and the lyrics below made me think of Sirius and the self-loathing of his teen years that he just...completely keeps to himself.

One step forwards, falling backwards I just wanna prove that I'm worth More than what my head tells me that I am I'll try again How do I fake a smile and feel the tension? Wait, I'm moving too fast in the wrong direction I've been running around in the dark with no light But I can't stop staying up looking for signs

08: Lyrics that make you FERAL about your favorite character

Muahaha I get to do another one >:) Okay so technically this is a prongsfoot song (or wolfstar if that's your vibe) but oh my FUCKING god I feel like Sirius Black wrote it and I scream and cry in the car to it and it tears me in two, so, uh, enjoy (giving you both the verses and then the chorus which is essentially the whole song but it's worth it).

[verse 1] Around the sun and around again You seem to look right through me Another year being your best friend Feels like you always knew me And I'm so proud to call you mine Feels like I know you from another life [chorus] [verse 2] Around the clock, we can talk for days 'Bout how we saw it coming Another sign written on my face 'Cause now my blood is pumpin' Can you just hold me for a little while? My skin is crawling, I feel vile [chorus] But what if it doesn't end well Would you still stay? What if I fuck it up like I always do And my shit gets in the way? What if it doesn't end well Would we still be fine? When the world is over and we go under Would you still be mine?

17: Lyrics you think perfectly describe Remus Lupin

Oh, the entire song Half a Man by Dean Lewis, hands fucking down. But here are the beginning lyrics. I mean ugh he literally believes he's half a man; the second line could refer to him telling Tonks things are over with him and Sirius when they're not. The rest needs no explanation imo. I mean, it's just. It's perfect.

I was wrong to say I loved her, I was wrong to think I'm right When I told her it was over, oh my darling I had lied I've been running from my demons, afraid to look behind I've been running from myself, afraid of what I'd find But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am? And how could I give you all of me when I'm only half a man? 'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning, so let go of my hand Oh how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?

21: Lyrics from a song you think the Marauders Era girlies would perform if they were an all-girl band (+ tell us what their performance would be like)

I fucking love that several people asked about this one. Hot of you all. Okay first of all I need to say imagining Lily Evans as the leader singer of an all-girl band is.......one of the hottest things I've ever thought of, jfc. Okay but um anyway I LOOOOVE this song for Lily, and I think it applies to all the first war Order girlies, who were FUCKING BAD ASSES and probably disappointed people by not being the same old girls they used to be. So please enjoy a snippet of EAT ME by Demi Lovato, feat. Royal & the Serpent.

Is this what you'd all prefer? Would you like me better if I was still her? Did she make your mouths water? Ugh I know the part I've played before I know the shit that I've ignored I know the girl that you adored She's dead, it's time to fucking mourn I can't spoon-feed you anymore I can't spoon-feed you anymore Dinner's served, it's on the floor I can't spoon-feed you anymore You'll have to eat me as I am You'll have to eat me as I am

Lyrics Ask Game: Marauders Edition

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of OT and someone created this twitter thread with the worst (and hilarious tbh) moments of the editions since OT 2017 and holy shit it's been a RIDE.

Like, here's like a written version of some of the stuff the thread says:

When in OT 2018 África was the second expulsed because everyone thought she was bullying Damion and they started dating when the program ended (they're still together) sjdsjd

When in OT 2020 they showed Gèrard and Anne a video of them kissing (nobody knew they were together at this point) RIGHT BEFORE they had to sing together 💀

When in OT 2018 María refused to say "mariconez" (means "stupid thing" but it literally translates to "f*ggot thing") in a song and every stupid celebrity started to shit on her

THE OT 2018 REPRIMAND where Noemí fucking read them tweets and made them cry cause they decided to camp outside the bedroom.

Anne sleeping in class 💕

Noemí calling Alfred "a brat" when she thought they couldn't hear her in OT 2017

Samantha in a wheelchair during a gala in OT 2020

In OT 2017 when Manu and Noemí reprimanded Aitana and Ana cause they didn't want to sing reggaeton lol

BRUNO'S NOTEBOOK IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW

Estrella Morente singing some random pro-bullfighting verses unpromted on live television when she had to sing another song with Nia in OT 2020

Tiptoe by Carlos Right aka whatever the fuck was this

When almost no one in OT 2018 wanted to go to Eurovision cause it was hosted on Israel but then Eurofans started shitting on them

Cepeda's Christmas present sjdsjdjsjdjsd

Julia singing Sober by Demi Lovato with a bar full of bottles as the background 💀

When all OT 2020 contestants tattooed themselves BEFORE THE CONTEST HAD EVEN STARTED

Aitana's Gala 0 "Bang Bang" performance

LUIS MAS

When Hugo went live on Instagram to tell everyone he had indeed cheated on his girlfriend with Eva during quarantine (after which the program resumed)

When some fans convinced Ana that her cover of La Bikina was the third most streamed song in Spotify in the whole world 💀💀

Alfonso's bilingual performance of All Of Me 🧍‍♂️

Cepeda saying "yo te cUERO Más" trying to be romantic or something

When one of the judges said that Mimi - who was in a dancing contest and worked as a dancer in China before OT - wasn't a dancer, "but she looks like one"

When Ana was almost crying saying how she was heartbroken that a judge told her she was inferior to all of the other contestants and Amaia said "only vocally" sjdjsdjs

The iconic moment of Thalía saying "a mí... me gusta" (I... like it) while Miriam was giving her THOSE LOOKS

THALÍA BEING HACKED BY A TURKISH MAN ON TWITTER FOR WEEKS I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED

When someone shouted "Cepeda calvo" (Cepeda baldie) in a Skam España clip

When in OT 2020 Eva had some kidney problem but all the fans thought that Rafa had gotten her pregnant because of the secrecy and the fact that Noemí only spoke both with her and with Rafa about it

When in the final of OT 2018 during Somos only Marta's mic was on and we could hear EVERYTHING SHE DID

Thalía just not paying attention to the gala's host and passing by him instead

It looks like the thread is gonna be updated more tho so feel free to go through it in a couple hours to see more of it

February 2016

Feb 11th - Kanye debuts his song Famous at his Yeezy fashion show. It contains the infamous lyric, 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.' Gigi Hadid and Austin Swift are quick to express their disapproval. (x)

Feb 12th - Taylor's publicist Tree Paine releases a statement saying "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, "I made that bitch famous.’" (x)

Ruby Rose condemns Kanye, tweeting, 'Too many lines crossed. If I put myself in the shoes of the women he has hurt recently. Victims of Bill Cosby, the slut shaming, Amber… And now my dear friend Taylor.. Right before another huge moment for her.. Can I still support him and call myself a feminist? A friend? No.' (x)

Kanye claims on Twitter that Taylor thought the lyric was funny and that she came up with it herself. He also claimed Taylor told a mutual friend over dinner that, 'I can't be mad at Kanye because he made me famous!' (x)

Sometime in the days leading up to the Grammys - Taylor's 73 Questions with Vogue interview is filmed in LA (it is not published until April, soon after her Vogue cover is released). In the video, she says she is currently busy 'working out and getting ready for Grammys' (presumably referring to rehearsals since she was the opening performer that year). (Update: turns out the interview was filmed on the 2nd Feb.)

Some other answers she gave in this interview:

What are you completely bored of in life right now? Clickbait.

What's your favourite food? I mean, if we're just saying, like, what I wish I could eat every day if calories didn't count, is like, chicken tenders.

What's one thing you still have from your childhood? My insecurities.

What's something you've always wanted to try but you've been too scared to do? Coachella.

What advice would you give to anyone who wants to become a singer? Uh, get a good lawyer.

What's the one thing you wish you knew at nineteen? If I could talk to my nineteen-year-old self I'd just say, hey, you know, you're gonna date just like a normal twenty-something should be allowed to, but you're going to be a national lightning rod for slut-shaming.

What do you think is the most important life lesson for someone to learn? That karma is real.

Feb 15th - Taylor attends the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in LA. She opens the televised show with a performance of Out of the Woods (x) and debuts her Anna Wintour-esque bob (x).

After her performance, she is seen crying in the audience while Selena (her plus-one for the evening) comforts her. Apparently she is upset about missing a note while performing. (x) (video)

1989 wins Album of the Year, making her the first woman to win this award twice. In her acceptance speech, she references the situation with Kanye, saying, 'I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.' (x)

Taylor attends the Republic Records afterparty with friends and then-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who was not there for the awards show itself. (x)

In her 2020 documentary Miss Americana, Taylor had this to say about the 2016 Grammys: (x)

My life had never been better. I had won album of the year at the Grammys for a second time, which I never thought was a possibility. And I remembered thinking afterward, oh my god, that was all you wanted. Oh god, that was all you wanted. That was all you focused on. And you get to the mountaintop and you look around and you’re like, oh god. What now? I didn’t have a partner that I climbed it with that I could, like, high five. I didn’t have anyone I could talk to who could relate to what I was – you know? I had my mom. But I just wondered, shouldn’t I have someone that I could call right now?

Feb 16th - Calvin posts a photo of Taylor accepting her AOTY Grammy to social media with the caption, 'Congratulations to my beautiful girlfriend.' (x) I cannot believe this post is still up 💀💀

Taylor goes for lunch with Scott and Andrea at Cecconi's in LA. (x)

Feb 17th - Taylor is seen out shopping in Beverly Hills. (x)

The NME Awards take place in London at the O2 Academy. Taylor wins Best International Solo Artist but is not there in person. Instead, a pre-recorded video of her accepting the award is played at the ceremony. (x) Her outfit and haircut suggest that the video was filmed on the same day as her Vogue 73 Questions interview at her LA house.

Feb 19th - Taylor announces on Twitter that New Romantics will be the next single from 1989. (x)

She is seen getting off her plane in Reading, PA (x) and visiting her childhood home. (x)

Feb 20th - Taylor is the maid of honour at her childhood best friend Britany Maack's wedding in Pennsylvania. (x) She brings Vogue reporter Jason Gay with her, and he writes about the weekend for Taylor's Vogue cover story, published in the May edition. (x)

A few excerpts from that weekend (not published until almost two months later): (x)

Swift says she is ready to lie a little low. After the wedding, she will go to New York, where she will be spotted dining with her friend Lena Dunham, and then be seen a week later in Los Angeles with her brother, Austin, and her friend Lorde at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. As for future plans . . . who knows? For the first time in years, Swift is not sure exactly what is next. She is very much OK with this.

So what the hell are you going to do with the rest of your life, Taylor Swift?

“I have no idea,” she says, with a sigh that’s more blissful than anxious. “This is the first time in ten years that I haven’t known. I just decided that after the past year, with all of the unbelievable things that happened . . . I decided I was going to live my life a little bit without the pressure on myself to create something.”

//

Because I’m a hopeless cheeseball, I can’t help asking: Being part of this wedding, does it make Swift think about being married some day? For the past year, she has been seeing the Scottish DJ-producer Calvin Harris. Harris is not here with her, but in early March, he and Swift will post cutesy notices on social media—his on Snapchat; hers on Instagram—commemorating the one-year status of their relationship. Soon after, both will post photographs of an idyllic, whereabouts-unknown vacation in the tropics, with ts + aw written in the sand. (Harris’s given name is Adam Wiles.)

“I’m just taking things as they come,” Swift says. “I’m in a magical relationship right now. And of course I want it to be ours, and low-key . . . this is the one thing that’s been mine about my personal life.”

//

“I think the world is so bored with the [Kanye] saga,” she goes on. “I don’t want to add anything to it, because then there’s just more.”

Feb 21st - Taylor donates $250,000 to Kesha after she loses her lawsuit against Dr Luke and Sony. (x)

Taylor goes to New York and visits the Vogue offices. (x) She also meets Lena Dunham for dinner. (x)

Feb 22nd - Demi Lovato tweets, 'Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed.' The tweet is widely interpreted as shading Taylor following the news of her donation. (x)

Taylor is papped arriving at and leaving Milk Studios, a photography studio in NYC. (x) I think this was when they shot her Vogue cover (she wore a wig for the cover shoot and only bleached her actual hair in April when the magazine came out).

Feb 23rd - Kanye brings up the Famous controversy while onstage at 1 OAK nightclub in LA. He claims Taylor said “Ooh Kanye, I like that line!” when he told her about the line 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.' “Then she won her award and said something completely different! She not cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool and she fucked it up.” (x)

Feb 24th - Taylor and Jack Antonoff go for dinner at the Maia restaurant in LA. (x)

Feb 28th - Taylor attends the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in LA. (x) She is photographed with Lorde and Austin.

“If happy is her, I’m happy for you”

timothée chalamet x reader

the lovely @kristineyoshaii requested: Omg I love your writings 😍❤️ can I request an super angst where timmy and the reader are together but Timmy fell out of love with the reader. Inspired by Demi Lovato's song "stone cold". Can you use the line in the song " if happy is her, I'm happy for you" in the story cause it really got me. Thank you please notice me 😊

note: I haven’t heard this song in ages! It reminded me that THIS WOMAN CAN SING! A true icon. Anyway, hope you like it!

MASTERLIST

The pain that you felt inside grew everyday. But you tried to ignore it, not really think about what was going on between you and Timothée. You knew that what was happening, but you were trying to understand why. That’s when you saw him smiling at his phone and your stomach turned. There was someone else, you didn’t know how you knew, but you felt it.

You tried your best, you tried to be the best person you could, but sometimes that wasn’t enough. And people, just... go away.

And your worst nightmare came true. You couldn’t hold the pain inside of you anymore, the fact that when he came back from work, he would just kiss you on the head and then locked himself in the room until dinner was ready. Eat in silence until you asked him about his day. Spending the days apart and talking less and less everyday.

You were now trying to watch a movie together. He had the day off and you thought it was a good idea to watch a movie. But he was in his phone since the beginning and the tears started to come down your cheeks. You couldn’t help it, the pain that you were holding inside was screaming to come out. He wasn’t paying attention to you or the movie, and that made you more angry than sad.

“Oh my god!” You said while getting up from the couch. “Why can’t you be a man and tell me the things in my face and not let me die slowly?!” You yelled and Timothée looked up at you, surprised at the sudden yelling.

“What?”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” You yelled angry “I know! I know there’s somebody else. Don’t lie to me anymore! Tell me the fucking truth!” He got up but without saying anything. He stood in front of you and you noticed he had tears coming down his cheeks.

“Y/n..” he tried to walk closer to you but you stepped back.

“Don’t. I just want you to tell me the truth.” Your voice was calmer and the anger inside turned to sadness. “Tell me, please.” He just stood there without knowing what to say and you nodded, knowing the response by his silence. “Do you love her?” You asked softly. Your voice cracked when you said the word love.

“I don’t know.” He said almost in a whisper and your tears started to come down faster down your cheeks.

“I can handle the truth, Timothée.”

“That’s the truth. I don’t really know.”

“You don’t?” You asked softly and he nodded.

You stood there without knowing what to say. You didn’t want to know. But you wanted answers, you couldn’t just walk away without knowing the whole truth, even if it would break you completely.

“Does she make you happy?” You asked and he stood there surprised by the question without saying anything. The silence he would give you answered the questions perfectly.

You tried to walk away but he stopped you by gently grabbing your arm “I’m sorry.” He said but you shook your head.

“If happy is her, then I’m happy for you. Goodbye, Timothée.”

[trans-taiga]

Hi!! I'm not a pewds supporter, but I am curious of what he's done. I haven't watched any of his content in an extremely long time, and even when I did it was just his old prop hunt vids, so I'm rlly out of touch with what's goin on.

oh, where to even BEGIN with this shit omg

i also used to be an avid fan of his when i was in middle school years ago but had grown out of him by the time that all of this started. now, the chronology of all of this is a little foggy because this has been going on for a good few years. You heard me: YEARS, and its still happening.

Now, i think the first incident that really started to reveal his antisemitic views was when he payed these two men, men who don’t understand english well if at all, to hold up a sign that said “Death to all Jews”. These were poor men trying to make a living making signs, usually saying things like “I love you!” or “Happy Birthday (Name here)” Innocent shit. Then he goes and pays these guys to write heinous shit. They have no idea what they’re writing and he took advantage of that fact. From what i understand, these guys lost their ability to make money this was because no one will hire them.

Ok. Fine. Maybe its a one-off, extremely tasteless “joke” He apologized and he wont do it again right? Wrong.

Next, during a “heated gamer moment” he flings out the n-word. Maybe its just me, but i dont think a white guys should so easily and without hesitation, use that slur. Call me controversial or whatever, but its not ok. He had claimed that he jsut wasn’t used to streaming and not being able to edit out anything he may say. Implaying he says this often? And just edits out the incriminating bits. Hm.

In my short bought of googling to make sure i have all my details correct, ive also found that he joked about Demi Lovato’s struggle with drugs and also repeatedly harassed a female twitch streamer over her choice in clothing and called her anti-woman slurs. Hm! Interesting.

After this, theres the oh so wonderful Battle with T-series. “Subscribe to Pewdiepie” Ring a bell? Yeah, thats the phrase that the New Zealand shooter said before killing 50. Goddamn. People. Now, he did tweet his disgust about this, but thats about it. Remember how whenever school shootings happen, all the gun-nuts go “my thoughts and prayers to the victims” while polishing their very own collection of firearms. This man is in no way short of money. How about donating? How about becoming extemely vocal against the alt-right, denouncing them and their support? Oh yeah, its because hes a fucking racist. 

Supporting neo-nazis on youtube, following several facists on twitter, being a fan of Ben Shapiro, a normal fucking person doesn’t do this SHIT. If he really wanted to prove he’s not a racist, he would actively be against it.

He isn’t just an average person, this man is an INFLUENCE with literal millions of people at his disposal. What he does matters on a cosmic scale. His “jokes” and support of alt-right beliefs, intentionally or unintentionally is directly influencing his fanbase of mostly children. Kids dont know better, they just wanna be like their idol. He needs to be aware of his influence and change his goddamn behavior or be ostracized as the nazi-sympathizer he is

End. Of.

Self-Image can feel so damn humiliating.

Fat to Skinny: self-Image can feel so damn humiliating.

“A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.” – Joyce Brothers

Isn’t it true self-image can feel so damn humiliating? What do you think it feels like to honestly really hate yourself and your body? Thinking you need to go from fat to skinny is my definition of being so mean to yourself…

When you find yourself looking into a mirror and thinking ‘ew, I’m so fat,’ and ‘shit I need to get more make-up, I’m out of foundation and I look pizza dragon face,’ it’s heart-breaking, as well as confusing due to the fact it’s not true.

A positive self-fulfilling prophecy is something we all need!

It isn’t about going from fat to skinny!

Stop worrying about “fat to skinny,” ideas and appreciate yourself.

Though it’s common, many hide their emotions and lather up in make or snakeskin oil in an attempt to nail new styles and trends.

Unfortunately, the truth behind these flawless magazine covers is they are touched up by professional software, such as Adobe’s “Photoshop.”

Yes, the women featured in Vogue, and other magazines alike are very gorgeous in real life, but the industry tends to push it the extra mile by editing their pictures to a T.

Consequently, it’s programmed into our minds that we all need to look a certain way, walk a certain way and talk a certain way.

I fail to agree with most of those magazines and ridiculous expectations but they will always be apart of our world, constantly evolving.

Admittedly, I have looked in the mirror and felt the very same thing, so much that living in my body felt like a prison.

Evidently, a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease at the highest moment in life tore me to the floor. I was the fittest ever, with 16% body fat and at least four abs. And it felt damn good but then life became hazy.

Imagine being your fittest, your happiest and watching your body crumble in front of the mirror due to all the medications you have to take in order to live a half-decent normal life.

Next comes the job where you work with absolutely flawless looking CEOs, publishers, talent, etc.

What would happen when you focus on going from fat to skinny?

Well, I’ll tell you what “could happen,” since we are all different. First, you may obsess with the thought of “how can I go from fat to skinny?”

The happiness leaves, it was fucking humiliating to have stretch marks and not even reached a point in my life where I had a baby.

The way my body was “supposed to be,” left due to Cushing’s syndrome.

People judged my job performance and then I assumed my disease would keep me from getting any decent writing job.

I felt as though I was inspiring others but I hated myself.

My fucking kinkiness sex life went down because I was too embarrassed to take off my shirt.

I had to shave my hair that touched my ass, all that way down to a “Ruby Rose,” cut, which was hard to digest.

Lastly, hating myself set in and I lost track of who I truly was, all because of an expectation, I didn’t change, my body did, right?

Finally, it hit me: I’m being so fucking mean to myself because it doesn’t matter who you are, how much you weigh, or what you do in life, you are and will always looking amazing and you should be proud of your battle scars.

Why worry about going from fat to skinny?

Elevate your self-image, forget about fat to skinny!

Elevate yourself because you deserve it, you deserve to be proud of any “imperfections.”

Further, those imperfections are what make you damn perfect.

Most importantly, you don’t need to beautify yourself to get a good job or find a good man or woman, frankly, you merely have to be proud of who you are as a whole.

Lastly, take the time to love your self-image, your mental toughness and be who you want to become, life is too short to hate on others, including yourself, let the trolls be trolls.

You’ll be making positive emotional changes while they sit and whine about whatever the hell they want for the rest of their life, that sounds miserable.

If you want “it” (whatever IT is) you can have it believe in yourself, and understand your self-image doesn’t define your future jobs, friends, love life, etc.

Just as Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Kesha, and many others we look up to say, love yourself.

Blessed be!

VMA’s 🔮📺✨

 Well another year, another VMA’s. Personally, I love the VMA’s so much. I look forward to this day all year. Right after the VMA’s end I’m ready for next years. This year the VMA’s were held in New Jersey (my home state!!!) for the first time ever at the Prudential Center, in Newark (where I saw Lorde and Demi Lovato last year). I wanted to go to the VMA’s this year sooooo bad you have no idea. I tried but you have to be 18 and im only 17 :) hopefully they’re back here next year because this year’s ceremony was AMAZING. I enjoyed this years show SO MUCH. Every moment I was glued to the TV absorbing every second of iconic-ness. Sebastian Maniscalco tried his best as a host but, he’s not fit for the role. I’m so happy with all of the winners. Some highlights: Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift all won 3 awards (the most of the night). Ariana won Artist of the Year (finally, after being nominated 3 years in a row) Song of the Summer for “boyfriend” with Social House, and Best Art Direction for “7 Rings”. Billie won Best New Artist, Push Artist of the Year, and Best Editing for “bad guy”. Taylor won Video for Good and Video of the Year (for the second time) for “You Need to Calm Down” and Best Visual Effects for “ME!”. Other award highlights are Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus winning two awards including Song of the Year, the Jonas Brothers winning their first VMA ever for Best Pop, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello winning Best Collaboration (Shawn’s first VMA) and Normani winning the VMA for Best R&B for “Waves (ft. 6lack)”, a very underrated song.

My top ten favorite performances of the night ranked:

1. Lizzo - Truth Hurts & Good as Hell

LIZZO!!!! I have been a stan of Lizzo’s since 2016 when Good as Hell CAME OUT and was featured in “Barbershop: The Next Cut”. I loved that song so much I immediately loved her and followed her on everything. I am so happy that she’s finally getting her dues. She’s such a needed artist in everybody’s lives because her music is incredible. Its honest, vulnerable and inspiring. Just like her performance tonight! That ass was everything, stopping to drink tequlia was iconic and her energy was amazing. 

2. Lil Nas X - Panini

oh Lil Nas X, I have some news for you... I’m a stan! This was the most jaw dropping performance for me tonight. I wasn’t really expecting anything and wow did he prove me wrong! I loved everything. The choreo, his energy, the outfit!!! He did a GREAT JOB.

3. Miley Cyrus - Slide Away

my girl. Anyone that knows me knows I love Miley so much. I wasn’t expecting her to come after she said “no fucking way” to a fan asking if she was performing back in July, but here we are! I saw my phone this morning and my jaw dropped completely to the ground when MTV tweeted that she was performing. I was so shook but so happy. This performance was so beautiful. I’m so happy she made it in black and white and had violins. They really added to the vulnerability she was displaying and the vocals she was serving. 

4. Normani - Motivation

5. Taylor Swift - You Need to Calm Down & Lover

6. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello - Senorita

7. Missy Elliott - Medley

8. Jonas Brothers - Sucker and Only Human

9. Rosalia and Ozuna - A Ningún Hombre, Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi, Aute Cuture

10. Shawn Mendes - If I Can’t Have You

I love Shawn, but usually his performances are very mediocre and bland to me but tonight he finally showed a different side his performing abilities. I liked this performance sooo much better than any other solo performances he has ever done. The energy was incredible.

final thoughts:

I am so happy this years VMAs were so fun and entertaining. From the performances to the awards, I loved every second. It just seemed like one huge party I was too young to attend :)

* one last thing, i wish lizzo won something :(

[isaidquirky]

also, Brenda Strong really does look like Lena in Starship Troopers also, part 2: i watched Wine Country and Ana Gasteyer looked A+ (i thought she was gonna hook up with Tina Fey and then they didn't????) final also: god why was Glee's cover of Take My Breath Away so fucking good and why did they have to ruin it by making Quinn get up from her cha--TAKE MY BREATH AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY EDIT: WAIT I REMEMBERED ANOTHER THING I'M MAD ABOUT: DANI. AND SANTANA. DEMI LOVATO WAS RIGHT THERE. AND YOU BARELY USED HER. TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER.

[imaginetings]

Lightweight, well that’s the opposite. - Miniminter Imagine

F/N - Friend’s Name

Y/N - Your Name

Word Count - 1390

Requested? - Nah but they are open don’t be afraid to do so!

Warnings? - Swearing and Alcohol

*not my gif*

It was the same when we were younger as well because we’d be drinking and id always be the most sober if it was all of us, then they’d claim that they weren’t drunk or lightweights. That would just cause me to laugh and show them the videos from the night beforehand and they’d be cursing me that they’d get me one day. Yeah, it’s been around ten years since they started saying that, I’m now twenty five and haven’t been able to get properly wasted, I guess there’s always a first time for everything right?

Just as I get midway through my drink, I see in the corner of my eye the girls entering and I catch their attention instantly. F/N instantly runs over to me and hugs me. “Jesus F/N anyone would think you haven’t seen me in months!” I exclaim with a laugh keeping a hold of my drink in my right hand whilst embracing my friend with the left.

“It bloody feels like it has been months! Anyways how the YouTube career been treating you?” F/N asks me whilst the others order their drinks.

“I guess it’s been decent, I’m just running out of ideas I guess, like the guys are great to record with and they are like a second family, but I’m just bored I guess.” I explain to F/N who just nods. “Anyways, hows work been for you? I heard you got a promotion! Congratulations!” I exclaim and F/N’s face reddens slightly. She thanks me and orders a drink then we all get a table for all of us.

As the night progresses I become more intoxicated to the point where I was definitely wasted. The last thing that I seem to remember is doing the Macarena in a fish and chip shop with the girls and some of the employees. I kinda wish I had that on record. I go to sit up from wherever I am but instantly fall back down onto the comfort of the pillows and mattress. Slowly but surely I open my eyes to see that I am in my bedroom luckily but the blinds seem to be open. I groan and turn over to block the light as the headache begins to pulsate. After that I slowly sit up and hold my head in my hands and the one thing that comes to mind is painkillers, I definitely need some for this headache right now.

I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and drearily walk towards the bathroom where I keep my painkillers. I open the cupboard to find the packet of painkillers only to find empty. “For fuck sake,” I say in defeat and instantly wince at the volume it was to me. Due to the light being so harsh I grab the pair of sunglasses off the side so it isn’t as harsh, I probably look like a total ass right now but you got to do what you have to when a hangover occurs.

I slowly walk out of my room in an oversized hoodie and a pair of leggings with the sunglasses on with my car keys in hand. “Want some of these?” A voice asks that belongs to the one and only Simon Minter. I turn to see him holding a box of painkillers. I smile weakly and he throws them down to me and I go into the kitchen of which he follows me. “You know, apart from last night I’d never seen you drunk but Jesus you are extremely romantic whilst drunk Y/N” I groan and face palm but instantly regret it since it feels like one of the moments in a cartoon where a pair of cymbals are clashed around their head and it’s rattling like a toddlers toy.

“Oh fuck, what did I do?” I ask and swallow the painkillers with some water and take off the sunglasses then sit at the island.

“Well when you originally called me to pick you up, you were gushing about how I “look great in a suit.” Then when you were in the car you began to serenade me with Demi Lovato songs. Finally when we got back you were leaning on me and kept on saying how you wanted a guy like me but nobody would ever look at you in that way.” Simon explained fully to me and I groaned once again.

“Jesus Christ. I’m so sorry Simon, that is honestly the first and last time I will ever get wasted honestly. I think I’m better sober,” Simon laughs and ruffles my hair slightly before going upstairs to record videos.

Eventually the headache subsided and I returned to my room to check through my analytics. Then F/N texted me to ask for pictures that we took last night, to which I happily obliged to do. As I was going through my camera roll I came across many hilarious videos but I was most indefinitely intrigued by the last thing in my camera roll. It was a video; of Simon and I. I was stumbling about and Simon had a hold of me to keep me up right. “Simon?” Drunk me asked him to which he only hummed a reply. “Do you like me? Because I really like you and I’m not going to deny I’ve had a crush on you for a while, like I’ve tried to forget it by working myself to the brim and just being busy but you’re always there in my heart, like why you are amazing and I don’t know what I’d do without you,” drunk me gushes to the male and I cuss myself for letting out my feelings. It was then that Simon replied to the inebriated Y/N.

“Y/N I want nothing more than to call you mine but you don’t mean any of this your drunk and that makes you say stuff you don’t mean,” Simon protested.

“But drunk words are sober thoughts Si, I would never say this sober because I’m too much of a pussy.” Drunk me states, I laugh a bit at my own words because they are true. The video then stops and I sit there for a second. Then I suddenly rush out of my room and knock on Simon’s with urgency. A faint come in comes from the other side and I enter the bedroom of Simon Minter.

“Everything that I said last night when we were coming into the house, I meant it. Simon I’m too much of a pussy definitely but I realised my feelings for you the day we were in the recording booth for the audio book.” I explain with my heart beating incredibly against my chest that I’m pretty sure you could hear it on the other side of London.

“That’s good, because that means I can do this then,” Simon says getting up from his chair from editing and stepping towards me. His arms snake around my waist and mine around his neck and in an instant our lips collide and I melt into the kiss. It breaks almost as quickly as it started due to a squeak coming from the door and we look to see Jordz with a contempt look on his face and camera in hand. “About time!” He exclaims then quickly rushes off which causes the pair of us to laugh. A grin from cheek to cheek makes its way into Simon’s expression which causes me to become confused. “What?” I inquired the male.

“We waited too long for this, but I’m so happy to have it now,” Simon states simply and embraces me, to which my head leans on his chest. “Me too Simon, me too.”

I miss old 1D

I miss when one direction used to do their cheesy dances like the fuckin inbetweeners one and when the fandom used to be obsessed with sloths and thought that Louis called ppl peasants bc sass and when we all thought Eleanor liked Starbucks more than Louis and had a twin named Tina and when zayn called that dude from the wanted an STD and when Louis would do pelvic thrusts and Niall would do high jumps and they’d all fuck with harry during his wmyb solo and when Liam was the babysitter and zayn and Louis would always goof around and when liam was the crowd hype man and that one time when they went to Japan and zayn had That Hair and when Paul was a thing and when harry made his stupid puns that no one thought we’re funny and the adventurous adventures of one direction and Liam dancing and dj payno and zayn in lwwy with that weird face and the hand heart and acoustics and that one interview with what’s his face from management where zayn looked super uncomfortable and itches his eye a lot and the bread van where they all hid and everyone’s confusion over the kiss you video and the Niall Demi lovato scandal and making edits and that one video of them rehearsing strong u know the one and reggae last first kiss and Niall’s American impression and harry falling and Adam Carr’s show and two bananas for a pound and water bottle fights and fuck idk I miss one direction

idk unpopular opinion ??

dont hate me or whatever but i found fall out boys new single kinda uninspiring and it was kinda flat to me before you get your “um fob are good whatever they do blahh its great because they’re making music blehh” replies ready (if anyone actually does reply i’ll be surprised) i have reasons behind this ok i have been a consistent fan of fall out boy for like 5 years now and honest to god they have helped me theough so much and they help me feel safe and at home and grounded and i love the fan base and i love the members but i’m just… eh about the new single and thats the problem i have with it. i would probably be more satisfied with it if i genuinely really hated the song (like irresistible ft demi fuck off lovato) but i dont, because i know that if the song had been released by actually anyone else i wouldve loved it because it has all the things i fuck with (vocal distortion, angry sounding beats, powerful melody etc etc) so i cant dislike it on that stance. but i almost need my fall out boy songs to be vast and big and huge and make my lungs shake in my chest from how much i want to scream the lyrics out my window to just get everything out there all at once, but i dont get that from this song. it feels like something made by the record label to get sales through a safe option rather than fall out boy being their authentic selves. it feels kind of like a way to exploit the kind of ‘teen internet lol group of instagram bandom 12 year olds who use XD unironically and want to suck sans off in an alley and make joshler video edits in ms paint or whatever’ kind of demographic, rather than people who are actually invested in good lyrics and decent production. even in ab/ap, my least favourite fob album yet, there was a balance between good lyrics and things they knew would sell (see favourite record for instance) but i feel like the balance is all off because there are good lyrics like 'i woke up on the wrong side of reality’ but they feel too drowned out by the pure noise of the chorus which doesnt work because fall out boy are such a lyrically good band that it feels almost wasteful to use so *much* in it rather than just a little. also big companies and record labels think people will listen to songs they dont have to think about really because they know that bands like the chainsmokers are so popular because of their mindless, obnoxious pop songs. and that suits them because in my opinion the chainsmokers are both mindless and obnoxious. but it just doesnt fit with fall out boy. its not them and thats my issue hate me all u want but hey thats my thoughts on it hate me all u want lol tl;dr: i love fall out boy anyway and the song is okay but it doesnt feel like a fall out boy song to me

SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE TAG

After watching Lucy Moon do this video on Youtube I decided to participate in this tag! I have tried to stick to one song/artist for each question however I love far too much music for me to completely commit to that. 

LUCY’S VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLUKHCiup1U&t=0s

1. Song you listen to when you’re happy?

At the moment it’s Shape of You by Ed Sheeran although one of my all time favourite happy songs is Sticks ‘n’ Stones by Jamie T

2. Song you listen to when you’re sad?

Without a doubt, Terrible Things by Mayday Parade

3. What song will you have at your wedding?

I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles, I’m not really the slow dancing type so I intend to go against the classic slow song cliché

4. What song do you dance around the house to?

Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys or Remember December by Demi Lovato

5. Song you play on your headphones when out and about?

I have an entire playlist (which can be found here) but my favourite at the moment is Fuck With Myself or Gemini Feed by Banks

6. Song you listen to when you’re angry?

This is where my rock playlist comes out: Bottle to Bottle by Gnarwolves, Knuckles by Moose Blood and Listening by Tonight Alive

7. Song you’d have at your funeral?

I have had this planned for years and don’t actually remember the reasoning behind it but Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! at the Disco

8. Song that makes you lose your shit at a party?

I’ve thought about this one alot recently as I have been making my birthday playlist, its between Not Nice by PARTYNEXTDOOR and Love$ick by Mura Masa ft A$AP Rocky

9. The last song you listened to?

Tescoland by Jamie T on Spotify however I am currently listening to Mine by a youtuber called Maisie Peters

10. Your karaoke song?

As a child it was Tide is High by Atomic Kitten - today it would probably be Trainwreck by Demi Lovato

I don’t exercise too often but when I do I like listening to remixes or really upbeat tracks - two songs I love to workout to is Gemini by Anne-Marie or Sexual by NEIKED

12. Song with the most memories attached?

I could fill an entire book of songs that remind me of my friend Hannah, one of these being Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings. Another song is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen as my mom and I sing it far too often for it to not be in this answer

13. Song that makes you cry?

Cruel by Eliza and the Bear, if you take anything from this list just listen to this song

14. Song you hate the most?

Chasing Cars by Coldplay - HATE HATE HATE this song to the point where I will leave the room if it comes on

15. Favourite song from a musical?

Of all time, definitely Take Me or Leave Me from RENT 

16. Your favourite song of all time?

I don’t think I have a secure answer, my initial answer would be Over My Head (Cable Car) by The Fray although I’m not sure how true that is

EDIT: I have thought and genuinely can't come up with a solid answer that I am happy with, I love too many songs

Episode #4: "I made James quit accidentally because I rigged a random.org" - Brian

So.... BC quit. Don't know why (and I am not gonna enquire, I just know he is hella busy). But ya I don't know what this means going forward but im gonna roll with it. If i'm not flexible, then that is not a good winner. so ya looking forward toi see whatever happens, and if Madigan go to tribal again, all i know is that i will still be safe cause james and I will just get Keaton involved

I’m SHOCKED BC quit because I thought I was going home lmao so now I have no idea what the hell is gonna happen I’m praying we swap tbh so I can meet up with Brian or Bryce who I know sbsbsbs.

Okay I'm super sad BC quit. They seemed like such a sweetheart. And I always hate to see anybody quit. I'm usually kind of annoyed about quitters but I hope BC is all good and it was just because they were busy... :(

This game has been really good to our tribe. We havent gone to tribal. I have a majority alliance of 4. Everyone is active and does 100% on the challenges. Its been good. Havent had much luck in idol hunt tho so probably someone already found it. Still nervous for the challenge. I want to keep winning but the bad thing in the eyes for the other tribe.

The game is always changing... and someone quitting just shows how quickly everything can change in the game. Plans set forward destroyed... alliances ruined just due to what the game might throw at you at any given time. It’s always scary but you know what... sometimes you gotta look at something bad and say hey let’s test my gameplay a little bit... that is what I’m good at and that is what I plan to do!

So we have swapped. and im not with james. This is hateful huh. first bc quitting today and now this. fuck this. and im with marie and keaton as well. ffs. oh well. time to get socialising and do this shit!

I KNEW A SWAP WAS COMING!!! I felt it deep in my bones. Do sharks have bones? I actually don't think they do. Oh well. I KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING. Obviously I'm super nervous now because I was in a great spot before. But luckily I still have my #1 Brian. And Charlie who is a part of my Four of a Kind alliance and he has an idol. Plus Anna and I hopefully can work together like we have in other games. I just hope she trusts me. Ugh and I freaking hope we win this challenge. Because OG Dinah members definitely have a target as the last intact tribe. SO much is going on in my little gay brain.

Okay my brain is going a mile a minute with this swap. I'm reconnecting with Anna. She seems excited to see me and she told me she isn't super close with Jayden or Nick so that's amazing. I told Brian about Charlie's idol. So this is good. We're surviving.

omg so we swapped and im so sad nathan isnt here but thats about it. happy to be away from jayden since he IGNORES me. when i read these after the game im gonna seem so obsessed huh KJDFSHFAKSJD. but anyway. dennis is here and hes one of my fave ppl ever! hes just so nice. we shared idol guesses and i really wanna go to the end with him. matt is pretty cool and we both stan the good place and naomi smalls so i feel like we'll be good allies. marie is a queen and super nice but maybe not super active but we both love ari so yay. naptime maynor isnt really liking my humor JKASDHF but thats ok. and kirby guy is alright too!! nicole seems nice enough if not a little standoffish but hoping for the best :s love this tribe overrall tho and really hoping to avoid tribal

I got ZType for the duels! Blessed. I can do well in this game and I can't be the reason our tribe loses in the RARE chance we do. So i'm feeling okay.

Too annoyed to write too much right now. But yet another org, and yet another swap fuck! Honestly, this is ridiculous. We have three members on either 7 person tribe, and even if we do manage to succeed in surviving another non-dinah is going to replace the voted out member... you can't make this shit up.

I knew the swap was coming. But im with Dennis which is good. He has some connections with Bryce and Nicole so hopefully they work with us. Keaton is also here like oh Boi. 👀 going to see if he wants to work with me this time. Having him around could help me in this game.

James quits by leaving the server and ignoring everyone.

https://gph.is/1neigCU my mood at my initial alliance members both qutiing time to die?

Ok so Klick quit which is kinda upsetting cuz I was grinding tf outta that challenge and I lowkey played a game with him about a year and a half ago and kinda wanted to reconnect. BUT Nathan is now on the tribe which is like the nest possible scenario. Also we have Anna so hopefully we have an easy majority. Also I assume Dennis has began running the game over on the other tribe because he is great and will probably end up voting me out at f9 or something. But YAY F14 IM NOT OUT YET ANSNSKDKLZLXKC

MY IMPACT?  I made James quit accidentally because I rigged a random.org to save Charlie from doing Multitask and then James had a fit because he got it and was sleeping so he couldn't pick... I... can't believe how I'm WINNING this game?  Anna, I hope you get my winner's crown READY because I'm doing the damn thing!  I am sorry I made him quit because I didn't think he would kjHDAJK... but wow...

Although I am in the minority right now based on tribal lines, Nathan is someone I've wanted to work with for like eons, and I feel so much more comfortable with him on my tribe than James and letting Annabelle hold my fate in her hands.  I think I have an upward battle, but I know Charlie has the idol and will warn Sharky in the case I need Charlie to use it on himself.  The two from my OG tribe I got stuck with is by far the only two from Dinah that I would go out of my way to protect in this game and knowing Charlie has the idol... ugh... I don't even have to DO anything and tea gets served to me.  Love Sharky.. love Charlie.. love Nathan... can't wait to thrive in this game now!

So the swap, i thought would have been really bad for us original dinah people but so far it looks like we might pull through. Nicole told by Dennis to me that she is willing to work with us but im a little sketch because she hasnt really responds to me exept like one message and then it stops. Im trying to get info from keaton and see if he wants to work with me. I have to keep an eye on him cuz he’s messy af. 👀 I think we could be a strong tribe so hopefully we win the next immunity. I rather have my no going to tribal streak going. I need to start talking to our new tribe members as well.

well james left so we got nathan i'm not upset about it i love nathan he's my person this game i think and we swapped with sharky on the tribe and i just played with sharky and we're in majority so things are really looking up here for me tbvh i feel like sharky might want to get rid of one of my OG tribe people but we'll see how it goes.

This game is weird man. I was so ready to play 2048, but Kirby Boi #2 was a quitter, so now I'm not playing 2048, both people I trusted QUIT, and Dennis is on my tribe. I am going to lose really soon. But hopefully I can find an in on my tribe and survive.

i just want an advantage. but oh so now 4/5 of my tribe is together and im just here.. love that! not sarcastic!! miss nathan tho! so far clicking with dennis still and naptime. hes a true carly rae jepsen fan i asked his fave and he said sour candy which is like (bad) but not well known so he must actually like her!! nicole left me on read.. love that! sarcastic!! and yaa wooh loving the new tribe that guy who quit bc of multitask kind of a flop but go off now im closer to merge!

This morning finding out that James was removed was suprising. It sucks cuz i was enjoying doing the ztype. I got to 7,100 which i think its good but idk if it actually was. But im ready for this challenge and hopefully we could win in it. Definately dont want to go to tribal.

Okay Nathan is AMAZING. I love him. And I'm totally going to work with him for sure. i'm so glad he didn't flop. And Honestly I'm glad James quit so that I could work with Nathan. This lip sync challenge is going to be silly. I offered to do the editing which honestly is a big undertaking but I like to be in control and It's definitely going to paint a target on my back but if we win it'll be so great.

OMG SO FUN CHALLENGE THAT I HATE WOOH. i love this but i hate it. idk. i REALLY dont want to do a queen song so i pretended to not know who they are NNN but all that caused was my tribemates shading me... and its like... matt says beyonce is just "ok" and i need to listen to real music.??? just say u hate women and go. JK. maybe. but ANYWAYS. love dennis still and naptime is so funny love his pins! nicole left me on read some more so i sent her demi lovatos GET BACK music video and she finally responded with two 5 word msgs and ghosted again so um really loving that! kirby guy also doesnt reply a lot but thats ok totally loving only talking to 4 ppl!

edit: quitters are shitters

Our song is Dont stop me now by queen which is awesome. I just need to find the time to work on it later today or tomorrow morning but have an idea what imma do so thats good. Still talking to keaton but no game talk it. Hopefully soon because im still feeling sketch on this tribe. I dont wanna get voted out pre-merge. *knocks on wood* ✊🌳

Making the video was really fun. Had more fun and felt more comfortable after making the ones before were i wasnt as comfortable. This is one of my fav comps now. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

UM?? I'm CACKLING?? So Sharky showed me the clips he got from Nick and Jayden, and I'm just so confused how straight men get any sort of action when they're as stiff as them?  I mean I guess they're not ugly so that probably helps, but neither of them are good at using a camera... So I'm just SO ...

I have nothing else to talk about other than how fucking STIFF the straight men are in their lip sync videos, so whew... love visibility…

worst comp for me ever like i was fine doing 2048 i could have probably helped with that but like a music video? YIKES that's not my thing at all i didn't know what to do or what to help especially since i'm so not gonna get on camera >.< i hate being useless if we lose like ugh lmfao

Okay so this challenge was...a disaster. I asked everyone to just do the song and then I'd make it look good with editing. That didn't work out. And I had more trouble editing than i thought. I feel like I dropped the ball and I'm not sued to being someone holding my tribe back. I tried to hide our bad lipsyncers. Charlie got sick. And something happened in the rush of uploading it that gave me a weird crop and a couple of cuts that I screwed up but I ran out of time. I'm feeling really disappointed in myself.

Okay we lost. This sucks. two of the judges called out the edit/effort specifically so that doesn't feel great. But I'm going to look at this as a positive. Maynor and Dennis stay safe on the other tribe. And Now I can use this to make some real connections and alliances on this tribe. Like Chad Michaels I will rise from the ashes and be the gayest winningest phoenix you have ever seen.

Ok so me Nathan and Nick should really stick with Annabelle. Easy majority makes easy game which makes happy Jayden

So we lost the challenge, but I don't feel too... bad about that.  I mean if I go home, clearly I fucked the fuck up and felt too confident... but I think that I feel... good?

Firstly, thank you to the judges for recognizing my SNAP in the lip sync.  I wasn't sure they were going to do my rap in the challenge, so I'm glad it was in there hehe... Now... going to tribal is a part of the game and the strategy has been lacking up till now, so I'm excited to jump in and finally explore that part of the game.  It'll be a nice start to my resume, following accidentally make James quit LMFAO.

Right now, I think I'm in a solid spot.  Nick said he wouldn't vote for me and I mean.. we haven't talked much, but I expect him to not lie for no reason... and I'm going to make sure to increase our conversation and expand on what HE wants to happen to just have that tea under my belt.  I think Jayden is who I would like gone, and I think I'd be able to gather the votes to get that to happen.  It's not like I have anything against him personally, but I just feel it's hardest to talk to him because him and I are not alike from what I've gathered.  I'm the uber gay and for the uber gay and the Travis Scott fanboy to get along?  Would be shocking.

I like Annabelle and Nathan a lot and I don't think they'd throw votes for me.  I have my little final 2 deal going on with Nathan, but highkey I don't think I'd keep him as my #1 over Marie, if I get to the point where I meet with her, so I have no problem cutting him or Annabelle in the future.  I do think it'd be better to work WITH them, especially for now, and I think they feel similar sentiments, but I don't know for sure!

But now we come to the real people I would like to protect going into this vote, Charlie and Sharky.  I love my OG Dinah babies so much, and I will make sure their names aren't the targets of this vote.  I think Sharky has set himself up well, and since he told me Charlie has the idol, I think we should especially be OK.  I also think Annabelle and Nathan seemingly want to work with us, so .... whew...

ALSO, this is a mid-confessional update, but 2 alliances were formed.  We have the "Tea Party" alliance with Sharky, me, and Nathan (the gays) and then the "Dinah Dudes" alliance with Charlie, Sharky, and me (OG Dinah's) and then I think another sub-alliance with the "Tea Party" and Annabelle is coming to fruition, so kjHDKAS... ya... I think I'm SET.  I can't wait to wreck shit!

So we swapped tribes and here I am with 3 from my original tribe, 3 from the other tribe and Bryce from the third tribe. Bryce and I know each other, and by that I mean I just blindsided him another org... oops! Hopefully he doesn’t come after me but who knows because I literally did not participate in this challenge at all! We still won though so hopefully I’ll get to redeem myself in the next one

My arms are SORE from pulling all my best Freddie Mercury moves out for this lip sync, I am SO tired. But I honestly am so glad i gave my 100% effort because I truly needed to pull through for this tribe and show them I’m not just a sitting duck. (Is that the term? Idk.)

Either way I’m glad we all got to bond through this and here’s to being safe ANOTHER round (I’ve never gone to tribal so wooooo!)

i want an IDOL or sth. but um dennis is so fun love that man. always asks daily to work with me. like idk how many times i have to tell him that he is literally the only person on this tribe to pm me first without me having to (NOT EXAGGERATION). marie and matt? no reply from marie in like 30 hours and matt hasnt been talking to me since i said idk queen. kirby guy? replies with 1 word answers and taste in music offends me NNN. nicole? who. all she does is ignore me and like somtimes she replies and ill reply in the SAME LIKE 10 SECONDS, and she'll just leave me on read JKADSFHAKSJ. comes back like 9 hours later with no reasoning on why she stopped talking and with just a "hi", and thats if im lucky! idk i hope we swap soon or merge. like the whole preswap i was praying for a swap to find some good allies bc all i had was nathan really, and now i just have dennis. maybe by merge ill have a whole 3 allies??? oh wait theres um maynor hes cool i always have to pm him first but hes at least responsive and can hold a conversation! black bear diner goes off and i WILL be eating there the next time in houston

We lost, which was hardly surprising when I saw the other tribe's video lol. So now it's not looking good for us dinahs... but luckily I have the idol up my sleeve hehe. Gonna tell Brian and Sharky so that we can use it to save us…

I was so happy that we won immunity. Stil feeling a little sketch on this tribe. Injust hope that the vote isnt charlie, brian, or sharky. And especially sharky cuz he’s my duo. Now dennis, nicole, and i are the only 3 to not go to tribal yet. Its pretty awesome amd kinda scary.

Down with the straights!  I still think Jayden is going, but if Charlie ends up going I'm JUMPING because that means I've been lied to by people that want to claim to be my final 2... I do trust in Jayden going but we shall SEE!

So the tribe lost and I’m a bit nervous because I’ve only heard one name... I would have loved to saved my idol until I needed it but I think it’s very likely my name could be the second one going around... we shall see what happens though.

Ugh okay so I was hoping for a simple easy vote. But as usual there is just a little bit of drama. Nick told Anna/Nathan that he has a legacy advantage to be used at F13/F6 which is trash because that means if we lose next time he'll use that and be safe. But if we vote him out he'll gift it to Jayden and we have the same problem. Plus Charlie is wigging out because he has a bad feeling about the vote, which is totally fair because he isn't talking very much. And Nick told Anna her name got thrown out which is just untrue. This is just kind of messy and not in a cute way.

Jayden is voted out 5-2.

yellin’ at songs: june, week one

the songs that debuted on the 6.3.2017 and 6.2.2007 editions of the billboard hot 100 discussed herein with an appropriate enthusiasm

6.2.2007

33) "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)/Dimelo," Enrique Iglesias

Maybe my earbuds just suck, but the ping-pong ball was disappointingly low in the mix. I needed that ping-pong ball to be the only instrumentation here. Like, the standard Enrique Iglesias drama, but instead of All The Producing, it's just a cascade of ping-pong balls, bouncing arrythmically as our boy has emotions. Like, if ypu're gonna be a bad song, don't play it safe with the novelty noises. Own that ping-pong shit. Throw in some ping-pong metaphors, give shout-outs to the best ping-pong players in the world. You can't just call your song "The Ping-Pong Song" and expect to get away with it, you gotta earn that shit.

91) "Bubbly," Colbie Callait

Comfort food is an important part of a balanced diet. You want to be healthy all the time, but part of being healthy, for me at least, involves keeping a thing of Ben & Jerry's in my freezer. I KNOW I'm gonna need that ice cream at some point, y'know? This weekend, when my computer stopped accessing the Internet, I said nuts to the world, I put some Mario streams on my phone, and when I got bored of those, my DVD player figured out a way to play Beauty & the Beast on a loop without me telling it to, so I could just turn my TV on. Critical thought is important, especially as we slide further into an authoritarian society, but sometimes, you gotta say 'fuck it' and accept a nice thing as a nice thing. "Bubbly" is that nice thing. It's barely anything, but it's nice what it barely is.

93) "I Need You," Tim McGraw & Faith Hill

This is "Whiskey Lullaby" for beginners (yes bob that is a sad country duet also) yes thank you I’m a good at critic-sizing, but can we take a moment to appreciate that TIm McGraw & Faith Hill have duets that charted in 1997, 2007, and 2017? Think of all the loves we've lost. Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. Rhea Pearlman and Danny DeVito. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. And all throughout, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill remain a constant. Like, it hurt when Rhea and Danny broke up because they were perfect, but if I'm being honest, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is the couple I need to stay together forever. I honestly don't know if I could ever let myself fall in love if I knew Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ever fell out of love. I need them to make an "I Need You" every year for the rest of my life. I don't need to hear it? But I need them to make it.

96) "The Great Escape," Boys Like Girls

In 2007 we let pop bands with heteronomrative names make hit songs. Anyway, the song, it's bad. It's like a Yellowcard song by people whose sense of music history only goes as far back as Yellowcard. Honestly, this might be the worst song of 2007. There's been a lot of rap tracks trying to start dance crazes, by dancing is an inextricable part of hip-hop, the genre is nothing without the occasional "Chicken Noodle Soup," y'know? And KaraDioGuardi is trash, but she has noble aspirations: she is trying to infuse pop starlets with attitude, and while she fails horribly, there's at least noble aspirations. This song stands for nothing. It's riding the coattails of the mid-aughts emo wave, a trend we were making fun of AS IT WAS HAPPENING, nothing about it is original or spun in an interesting way or even delivered convincingly, it's just a shitty song with a chorus that would be rousing if any of these dudes had something like charisma behind which a crowd might rally, it's, it's nothing! It's less of a thing than Joe, and Joe was just a dude named Joe! I hate this song and I hate that I'm going to make myself listen to another Boys Like Girls song.

97) "Bleed it Out," Linkin Park 99) "Given Up," Linkin Park

These were almost good songs! Linkin Park is much better at being a rock band than they are emotional balladeers, and they have something going with both of these songs, like those hand-claps really make you feel like Linkin Park is about to hit you with some hot rock sing-a-long action, and then... dude just kinda screams about how much pain he feels? OK, that's not fair to "Bleed it Out," "Bleed it Out" is legit hot, that's one of the rare times that the rapper in Linkin Park is absolutely on his game. He's not a great rapper, but dude knows how to blend in with a great song. And Screams McGee (his name is Chester Bennington, you know I know who he is) can be a compelling vocalist! He does a few subtle things in "Given Up" that make him sound legitimately damaged and frustrated before the song devolves into him screaming "put me out of my misery!" Maybe I just needed this to be good just so I wasn't too bummed out after enduring "The Great Escape," but y'know what, Linkin Park? Not that shitty. Still pretty shitty, but there's enough here that I like that I’m not gonna call it an utter angstfest.

should i still publish top 20s if there are no changes. is there any instructive value to the top 20 even if things did change. 20) "Movin' On," by Elliott Yamin (3.17.2007) 19) "U + Ur Hand," by P!nk (1.13.2007) 18) "Doe Boy Fresh," by Three 6 Mafia ft./Chamillionaire (1.20.2007) 17) "Get Me Bodied," by Beyonce (5.26.2007) 16) "I Don't Wanna Stop," by Ozzy Osbourne (5.26.2007) 15) "Stolen," by Dashboard Confessional (4.21.2007) 14) "Beautiful Liar," by Beyonce & Shakira (3.31.2007) 13) "Cupid's Chokehold," by Gym Class Heroes ft./Patrick Stump (1.13.2007) 12) "The River," by Good Charlotte ft./M.

6.3.2017

62) "Rollin," by Calvin Harris ft./Future & Khalid

I appreciate the work Calvin Harris has done this spring to get our most morose pop artists to get funky. I don't really remember Khalid, but I do remember not feeling "Location," and he was much better with a song that felt like something, and I don't think I can name a Future verse delivered with higher energy than this. (There's so many, though. I might well be forgetting like seven Future songs.) I'm not here to call it great, it might end up fading from memory completely like "Heatstroke" did (I liked it, right? It's #20 before I dip into the rest of the debuts, but I recall liking it), but, y'know, funky. Calvin Harris is like the only pop megastar insisting that we boogie, and however disposable his music ends up being, his mission is one I can get behind.

80) "Bad Liar," by Selena Gomez

"This is a pretty dope baseline!" Bob thought on his way to Wikipedia, where he was informed this is a Julia Michaels joint sampling Talking Heads. This is great. Like, David Byrne had to think this was good in order for it to be made, I am not quite sure what I come to this space to do, but I know it's not to disagree with David Byrne.

92) "Whatever it Takes," by Imagine Dragons

this is the same song as "thunder" was the same song as "believer." like they made three songs about how awesome it is to be famous, except this song is about how imagine dragons will be imagining dragons so hard to maintain the level of fame which they have attained, because: being famous: is good. no entity has wasted more of my time this year than imagine dragons. and i had to listen to an entire drake album! i mean this! how many more of these songs do i have to listen to? how many of these songs do they have LEFT?

93) "Felices Los 4," by Maluma

If the rousing success of "Despacito" means we're getting more Latin pop on the charts, I am absolutely down. And if a new Latin pop explosion means we get more songs about polyamory, as the basic English translation I have found leads me to believe this is, I am SO DOWN. This is a chipper and fun song about saying "The more the merrier!" when your girl finds a new boy. It's the epitome of a chilled-out groove. "It doesn't matter what they'll say, we like it like this." DAMN SKIPPY. Maluma will not be kink-shamed. I like what I'm 90% sure this song is. Give me more songs about people on different areas on the ever-expanding spectrum of human sexuality. I expect an asexuality anthem by the time we're through, 2017.

95) "No Promises," by Cheat Codes ft./Demi Lovato

Who are Cheat Codes? Like, legit, if I'm gonna complain about the slop of dudes churned out by Nashville, I should also call out the endless parade of dudes at soundboards constructing their tool-assisted pop songs. Does Cheat Codes have any artistic identity? Am I supposed to have left this song having learned something new about the world, or at least heard familiar noises used in a new and fun way? Like, "Bad Liar" wasn't an earth-shatteringly epic statement of purpose, but it used the "Psycho Killer" bassline in modern setting, and that made me want to see who made it. I can't tell you who Cheat Codes are from their music. I don't get the feeling they got into music as an avenue of self-expression, I think the goal is to make formless, unidentifiable dance noises, and that's intensely disappointing. (Demi Lovato's here, too. It's not her fault this song is bad. She tries her darndest.) I can't say what Cheat Codes bring to the table to justify listening to Cheat Codes instead of anything else that's ever existed.

98) "Ghost in This House," as performed by Lauren Duski

So next week is a big week for American Idol, five Idol songs on the chart, and I'm sure the The Voice finale is gonna put more than one song on the chart, so that’ll be a fun comparison. Big couple weeks coming up for reality singing competitions! This is a nice performance of a country song with which I'm unfamiliar, being sung by an attractive blonde with something like a unique voice. It's nothing I'd ever vote for, but I completely get how it ended up in my list of things to do today. Finally: a white country singer is going to win a reality singing competition. Been, what, three months since the last time? TOO LONG.

100) "Me Enamore," by Shakira

It would have been so easy for this to feel like seven dudes in suits screaming FUCK LATIN POP'S BACK WE HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO WRITE A TRACK FOR SHAKIRA, but man, Shakira's just too reliable a pop music entity to let it go down like that. It's basic, simple stuff, "me en-na-na-more" is nowhere near the thundering statement of purpose that is "des... pa... ci-to," but y'all need something basic done right, you call in a pro, and Shakira's a consummate professional. It's hard to tell if I'm reacting to the actual performance or to the band name, but as far as I can sort out, Shakira brings a joy and personality to a song that might've been listless in less capable hands.

Hey! New blood in this Top 20! 20) "You Look Good," by Lady Antebellum (4.22) 19) "The Heart Part 4," by Kendrick Lamar (4.15) 18) "Selfish," by Future ft./Rihanna (3.18) 17) "Slide," by Calvin Harris ft./Frank Ocean & Migos (3.18) 16) "Felices los 4," by Maluma (6.3) 15) "Now & Later," by Sage the Gemini (2.25) 14) "Bad Liar," by Selena Gomez (6.3) 13) "DNA." by Kendrick Lamar (5.6) 12) "It Ain't Me," by Kygo x Selena Gomez (3.4) 11) "Craving You," by Thomas Rhett ft./Maren Morris (4.22) 10) "That's What I Like," by Bruno Mars (3.4) 9) "Chanel," by Frank Ocean ft./A$AP Rocky (4.1) 8) "Either Way," by Chris Stapleton (5.27) 7) "Run Up," by Major Lazer ft./PARTYNEXTDOOR & Nicki Minaj (2.18) 6) "Green Light," by Lorde (3.18) 5) "ELEMENT." by Kendrick Lamar (5.6) 4) "Despacito," by Luis Fonsi ft./Daddy Yankee (2.4) 3) "Issues," by Julia Michaels (2.11) 2) "iSpy," by KYLE ft./Lil Yachty (1.14) 1) "Hard Times," by Paramore (5.13) I underestimated you, 2017!

Who won the week?

2017! I don’t know what I’m supposed to say in this section so I’ma just bounce, great work today some of you, next week we’re gonna revist “Lip Gloss.”

2017: 6 2007: 4
