#insp; we don't listen we do what we do.

How do we- how do we feel about longan and a siren reader.. silly little idea 😋

『INSP BY THE CONTORTIONIST AND IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT SONG….. GO LISTEN TO IT NOW 👹 also I really like this idea ngl! I made some hcs for it if you don’t mind. 💜』

longan dragon cookie w a siren s/o (afab)

bakers notes // imo this made me legit think of like… like sea fairy or black pearl. So since this is a siren thing there’s probs gonna be some ties between black pearl and the s/o (also @m00r3-starzz and or @ask-the-longan-dragon may place me in super hell (💜) after this.) also I’m still coming for either a random anon or @windlotus

tw i guess // hypnosis bc siren. Also it’s just a tad bit suggestive due to the nature of sirens, and the song… so… yk.

what makes you think that they haven’t or have not encountered one? For fucks sake, look, their palace literally floats above the Pacific Ocean.

They’ve seen Black Pearl Cookie at some point, and they know who Sea Fairy is… if anything seeing a siren would just take them back…

Your glistening tail under the moonlight and the reflection of the water on your gills… like a shining gem in their hoard.

Your singing would bounce through their air, into the nightly current floating around the golden palace.

Longan knows what you want. They aren’t dumb. Sirens sing for souls— for blood and food. And they are aware that Dragon’s Blood is well sought out after not just by vampires, but sorcerers and mages for its benefits and health properties.

They try to ignore you to the best of their abilities. But after a while it gets hard not to go out.

But when you sing so beautifully,

“Twisted all my limbs for you. Two of them in knots and two of them in loops. Ribbons tied around like a noose… wonder if I'll ever get it loose.”

Mmm, so smoothly…

“I don't wanna bruise for you. Holding back my words until my face is blue (huh!) I don't really care about your crew. You can tell 'em what you wanna do.”

You get into their head and make them internally spin around in a dizzy circle when you make your voice sound like that for them…

“Pushin me, lovin me, pulling me, fuckin me, crushin me, touchin me… aah!~”

Eventually they bite their lip and follow you, their eyes a dull gold. Their grey complexion now reflecting somewhat of a warmer tone in their cheeks. Aimlessly walking towards you, the click clacks of their feet across ivory tile floor as they go in and out…

They walk out to a terrace to eye you like a vulture, looking down at you, golden eyes now agleam in the dark of night. Yet they hold some kind of want…

They want you in their palace. But that’s impossible. If you’re akin to Black Pearl, you wouldn’t be able to survive above water… at least… not for long.

But that doesn’t mean that they can’t come to you, despite knowing the possible dangers that lead up to that. But ah hell, they could defeat you in a fight easily. The temptation of floating down to you was forming in their legs.

They must show restraint and willpower however.

Oh…

Twisting all my bones like screws. Stretching my self worth, just like you usually do. Caught you like the cold or a flu (achoo!) Praying that I'll someday be immune.

Here we go again…

Got me like a bad tattoo… always under skin, even when it gets removed. Never got a chance to undo… positions that you forced my way into.

Ugh! Their breath just quickened… mouth watering… of course, they don’t let you see that. That’s all internal. But they’re internally foaming at the mouth. Truly miserable.

But they do anyway. They step up to the terrace and graciously float downward. They have a small lump in their throat that tightens. They feel hot— but a comfortable kind of heat soars through them.

As you bummed you put a webbed finger under their chin, the intensity of eye contact not seeming to phase you. You smile… sickly sweet towards them…

“Sing. Sing weakling.”

They grow to crave it nightly— like a drug. Your soft sweet voice not looking to harm them, but to please them. And when push comes to shove, as it sometimes does…

There’s… other ways they can make you sing.

And sometimes, after you actually do, you continue to do so going on further in the youth of the night.

But the singing they make you do… isn’t singing. If you catch me…

I love how we are basically opposites on the whole theory thing :

You predict plot points by making jokes that end up coming true

meanwhile me and my overdramatic mind obssesses over dark scenarios that would never fit into 9 episodes and then I'm surprised when they don't happen XD

Listen as long as you're enjoying what you're doing, I say have all the fun you want in fanon and taking insp from canon! That's the best part sometimes! <3

Although I have some things that started out as jokes that ended up being canon (my absolute favourite of which being this joke I made about Ezran in 2x04 that was then an actual thing in the s2 novelization) the weirdest thing for me has been like... the ultra specific thing / things I thought would be more metaphorical that ended up being more literal

AKA a list in no particular order

Me assuming since Through the Moon came out that Callum would inevitably play into Aaravos's hands and that the struggle to not do so would be his main conflict in arc 2 (which looking back, the possession plot line seems so thematically obvious I am genuinely a little sheepish I didn't see it coming)

The game motif being my favourite motif and then s4 fucking Delivered it was beautiful

Viren's atonement arc because of his eye symbolism

That the rune cube placement could be trusted to foreshadow things, specifically the Ocean rune in finding the prison and in foreshadowing Callum's dark magic use

Me going "Hey wouldn't it be Fucked Up if whatever comes out of the cocoon is like a child version of Aaravos?" (hi Sir Sparklepuff my beloved)

For that matter: that Aaravos would ask one of the mage fam to kill Sir Sparklepuff for a deep magic spell, and that they'd refuse to do so

Callum's interplay with freedom being too tethered to Rayla that I banked on her eventually being taken hostage and Callum doing morally ambiguous shit to save her like 3+ years in advance

Seeing Callum's S4 design for the first time and noting that the circlets around his wrists invoke chain symbolism but thinking "Nah him and Rayla being in chains like tarot cards will just be metaphoric right". Haha, no!

Ezran as the embodiment of Justice / the series' Witness (hell yeah thank you 4x03 & TOX for making Justice his highest value)

Predicting Rayla's entire arc 2 arc thus far re: her paranoid and restless nature being what puts them on the path to finding Viren and her wanting a rematch, the coins, and her self worth issues, written March 2020 (months before TTM came out)

Callum and Viren as each other's primary foils (begun before this but started being highlighted further from Nov 2019 onwards with specifically thinking that S4, as opposed to s3, would crank it up to an 11)

Rayla and Callum's whole ass light-dark motif that I thought would be a fun consistency in the background rather than a whole ass arc defining Thing

Characterization wise but Ezran as an Enneagram Nine The Peacemaker personality wise (once again thank u 4x03)

Back in Aug 2021 I noticed that bloodbending had thematic similarities to dark magic (in terms of framing, notions of control & agency) but again, didn't think it'd amount to literal likewise puppeteering (Aaravos is/was even imprisoned like Hama too!)

Seeing parallels between dark magic and thematic/metaphorical cannibalism / positing Aaravos as a cannibal in a fic I wrote in 2019 but never ever thinking it'd be more than metaphorical bc kids show, am I right? (when I tell you I screamed)

Like 3 weeks post s3 I came up with Political Trio Theory in which Ezran and Rayla are at odds about something and Callum is caught in the middle, as he agrees more with Rayla but feels like he should side more with Ezran, which an Ezran / trio centric conflict along those lines seems to be what we're going to get personally with Runaan / the coins in future seasons

Which, not only is it mostly to keep my English major-y brain sharp and my enclosure enriched (parallels are my perpetual hamster wheel), but it's also like... obviously predicting from theme/motifs isn't perfect, but it does mean you have all the right pieces. Then it just comes from running through the options to assemble what the puzzle might look like, & also thinking through the constraints of structure and run time (ergo I wasn't surprised when Callum didn't figure out the mirror himself in early S4 cause I just didn't think the show would have time for that kind of slow build).

Like following S2 I never really thought Callum's journey with dark magic was precisely over, firstly because I saw him absolutely as someone who would do dark magic / things he morally is against again if put in the exact circumstances he was in S5 (hence the CHET predictions post up above), but also because as our primary mage character and with dark magic being the core ethical dilemma for mage characters in the show, it just didn't make sense to assume that it'd be entirely resolved with a neat little bow 2/6 (since at the time we thought it'd be 6 seasons) in. Like - what? So that's something from an analytical standpoint of characterization, theme, and structure, for example, and TDP gives us a decent amount of time to get used to all those things especially in the first three seasons and then we can kind of build our predictions neatly from there.

So what usually happens is that I'll have a passing thought / gut reaction, think "huh maybe it's something," and then actually think about it for like 2 days to 2 weeks and realize that it loops back in with a lot of other stray thoughts and that there's something Substantial there. It never stops being wild

Anyway this was definitely way too long a response so TLDR; I'm always pleasantly surprised / excited whenever I predict anything correctly and also adore when the show throws me a curve ball (hi Terry <3), and the fun of theorizing (and sometimes throwing spaghetti at the wall) for me comes down to the themes and parallels and fun (fanon if nothing else) possibilities I can find. I love writing meta, speculative or purely analytical, even if/when they're often time consuming. My instincts haven't steered me too 'wrong' with TDP thus far, and I don't think they ever will!

I think we have stopped caring somehow. If not always, at least often. At least unconsciously. About the world, about the people around us, about relationships... but more importantly, about us. And it reflects outside. We have stopped respecting ourselves and what's around us too: places and people in particular. And if sometimes people act in a way that can be seen as pretty egoistical and irrespectful, that's mostly a cry for help or attention. Another way for their loneliness and pain to show up. It also seems we don't have the time for anything else than worrying. And we always want more, but forget we need to give too.

It's like at times, even unconsciously, we get hit by a thought: "If others don't care, why should I care?", forgetting that exactly because others don't care or don't show us that they care about us, we should care even more. This carelessness and lack of respect we perceive around us, or have grown up into, really pains us deep down, despite we don't always want to admit that. Or we don't realize it fully. So we just go on on autopilot. We don't think about consequences or try not to. And we try to not feel. Cause it's all too scary and uncomfortable. Unbearable, at times. And we only want to get numb and feel nothing. No more pain. But we forget that if we only try to escape our pain, it won't disappear, it won't leave us alone: the only way to at least diminish it, is to confront it. Find the reasons why it's there. Listen to it and caress it. And we don't have to do it all alone. We're not alone. But we need to find the courage to ask for help outside too.

We often end up simply existing in the present. But is that as fulfilling and real as living? Does it really take too much effort and courage to actually live?

Idk if it's the pandemic that had us reconsider our freedom, safety and what we can compromise on, or the war, the sudden realizations about our personal condition, the random and increasing lack of security (and presence of social anger) we assist to or what, but... this is what I came up with just by looking around in the last few years. And it's heavy, ofc. I know it's heavy for everyone. But fighting the pain with carelessness won't take us anywhere. I don't think it has taken people anywhere in history either. So why do we keep doing this to us? Why we keep causing pain to us instead of helping us? Talk, please, talk.

Another personal post today bc i feel like i just.. am better able to think when i know someone's listening.

Remember blog culture?? I'm channeling That right now 😂😂

It's occured to me lately all the ways on which my adhd really has inhibited my ability to draw, and i just wanted to write it all out in a bulletpoint format and go through them to see if i can't find a solution to some of them.

Boredom - i get bored doing the same thing for too long and will rarely finish something if it takes me more than a week to finish.

Computer runs on 4GB - My computer is, sadly, shit. Which means a lot if waiting and hassling to save files on external hard drives.

External validation - not unique to adhd but i've been told we react much more strongly to other people's opinions of us, which sounds about right. So if i don't feel other people enjoy what i make, or even one person doesn't, whose opinion i value, i lose motivation.

Going outside - drawing from life is something i enjoy but it's very hard for me to do, which has led to me feeling very stuck in a single mindset for a very long time even though i would like to get inspiration from other sources. The insp bank is just very empty.

Starting and stopping - it's just such a hassle to navigate hyperfocus. To an extent i know how to trigger it, work with it, make the most of it, etc. But it still just takes a Lot of energy to manage.

Back pain - having a hard time exercising and stretching regularly has made it so my back pain is stopping me from drawing even if i want to.

Too tired all the time - everything is much more exausting when u have adhd so even if i wanted to work on åersonal projects or whatever, the physical and emotional toll is just too high.

Probably not an exaustice list lbr but at leadt i have it.

So a few things are more existential in nature like: "what do i want to spend my limited time on this earth making?" "Why do i feel like what i am doing is not enough?" Etc. Etc. And probably can't be solved in one sitting.

A couple things can rly be aided by a better settup though so once i move in i'm going to need to start thinking about a better settup:

A better computer with a RAM that doesn't actively want me dead.

(And good screen placement to go w that, so im not actively murdering my neck).

(And a new tablet that's not 10yrs old and a safety hazard).

Established places for all my tools so i can work with minimal effort.

Smaller usb sticks labeled by year would be nice. Computer folders drive me mad.

An inspiration board (and planning board) would be nice. Being able to visually see all my projects in action at all times. Worth a try honestly.

Moving in and settling down will aid on a few fronts:

Generally not being constantly worried about moving in to a new appartment will be swell. Love that for future me.

Exercise will happen more regularly once i move in and am not constantly stressed. Also i'll live rly close to a gym so.. fingers crossed that solves That problem.

Going back to work will help with that.

Fingers crossed ill have energy for parkour again soon🤞🤞🤞

Genuinely no solution for the Too Tired problem. I'll likely just have to let myself rest once in a while even if it means giving up on exercise and drawing for a week or more at a time. Which is probably healthy lbr.

Which.. that leaves the three biggest issues (shocker).

Going outside would help with boredom but going outside is hard.

I think i'll have to invest in some better outdoorsy bags. Like those rly cool leather hip pouches. Those would be great. Just.. a way to easily carry equipment qith me so i can just draw when i feel like it and don't have to dig around a bag just find a pencil.

Like this lol. Big enough to fit an a5 sketch book bc that's my preffered size snd like.. one water colour set and a pen. Imagine that. I think that would be Swell. I don't need a bunch. Just enough that i can carry the essentials anywhere i go.

The dream.

Another reason to marry a leather worker.

And honestly like.. i think taking a break from fanart and social media and just going outside to draw and see the world.

I think that's what i need rn.

Then there's the issue of external validation, which isn't anyone's fault, it just kinda Is.

I figure quitting social media can help with that too. Sorry to say.

The rest is probably just processing what i want to do and stuff. Ya kno. The existential bits.

LOCKE & KEY | 1x01 “Welcome to Matheson”

Are you okay? I mean, I know none of us are okay, but ... you seem really far away.

[dancing-the-hellfire-rumba]

There’s Nothing More I’d Rather Do

(title insp) Alternatively: Me-Time

Pairing: Chris Evans x Fem!Reader

Warnings: None. 

WC: 1.1k

Mini A/N: I literally have never written for this man before. I needed to flex my writing muscles and write what I needed to read. Enjoy :)

It feels like being surrounded by feathers, soft on her skin and warm, exactly what she needed after a day like the one she’s had. The water smells of lavender and vanilla and it has assumed this watery- milk white, almost light blue color, interrupted by dark violet petals that smell of roses. Her hair is in a half-hearted, loose bun, with strands poking out left and right like prison escapees, a couple of them falling in front of her eyes and the back of her neck, getting soaked in the bath water. 

Smooth, deep jazz tangles with the air and dances softly, pushes at the candle flames and urges them to dance along. It mixes with the sloshing of her limbs moving under the water- and a knock sounds at the door.

"I'm sorry, honey, do you mind if I get my toothbrush?" A soft, crescent moon smile crosses her features. She calls for him to come in.

With a soft click, the door creases open and- there he is, socked feet and grey sweatpants in all their glory. He smiles gently at her, pushing at his hair a little. Attempting to make quick work of his task, he grabs his toothbrush, puts a little bean sized amount of toothpaste on it and- okay he can't resist- stops to kiss the top of her head, before leaving. 

"Hey," she calls to him as he's half way through the door. He stops and peaks from the side of it. "yeah?"

"You don't have to leave," she tells him, voice as smooth as the still water she's bathing in, and Chris's shoulders slack a little, his smile goes sugary sweet. Her mouth feels like she tasted honey.

"I don't wanna interrupt your me-time, baby," he tells her and shoots a smile her way, ready to leave again, but she stops him. 

"You could be a part of it?" she suggests, just as gently and Chris seems to melt a little, though reluctantly. "Please?" Hands stretch up and out of the water, fingers wiggling sneakily and she can see his resolve visibly cracking and falling away. 

"Alright," he sighs, and smiles at her victorious wiggle and broadened grin. "Just give me a second," he tells her and makes quick work of brushing his teeth, leaving the bathroom and returning a minute later with a chilled, opened bottle of white wine and two glasses in his hands. He disposes them carefully next to the tub with a playful kiss, placed firmly on her wet cheek. Her smile is worth it. 

Simple candle light illuminates his creamy skin, every dip and plain, as he slowly pulls his white tee off of his body. It's not as sculpted, since there's no Marvel movie forcing him to dehydrate himself just for a set of abs, and she likes this look on him. Healthy, soft. His sweats go first, then his socks, then his briefs, tossing the latter in the hamper, while the rest of his clothes, he balls up and places in the lid of his toilet seat so they won't stay on the floor. She opens her arms and urges him to sit between her legs, as he slowly gets in the tub, one foot at a time, lowering himself in the milky water with a relaxed sigh. 

Y/n's hands rub his arms comfortingly, wanting to say 'welcome home', her feet bumping his thighs playfully. Fingertips slowly going to his shoulders to give a brief squeeze, dropping a kiss at the nape of his neck, fingers going up, combing through his hair. His back leans on her chest, arms rested on the sides of the marble tub and head falling backwards, on her shoulder with a resounding sigh. The tension seems to seep from his body, melt and go down the clogged drain. She combs through his hair, one arm over his shoulder, hugging him into her, a kiss on his temple, her chin on his shoulder. 

"This is lovely," he notes, and he sounds exactly the way he looks, almost relaxed, soft, at ease. She smiles at the side of his head, blunt nails scratching at his scalp. 

"Never had a bath before?" she asks gently, lips never leaving his skin, words whispered right by his ear, and if she weren't this close, he wouldn't have heard her. He shakes his head. 

"Momma used to shove Scott and I in a bathtub with all our plastic little toys when we were kids." She smiles at the thought of the young brothers splish-splashing in shallow bathtub waters, making a mess, cheeks red, smiles bright and wide as can be. She drops another kiss on his cheek this time. He seems to lean into it. "But it's been decades." She huffs out a laugh. 

"You talk like you're eighty years old." 

A scoff. "I practically am," he mumbles, sinking a little lower. She smacks his chest lightly and he laughs a little. 

"The only thing you practically are is crazy, if you think that, Evans" she mumbles, buried in his shoulder. She can feel his stupid smile. She wants to kiss it. 

"Yet here you are," he replies with a teasing edge to his voice, his left hand falling on her knee. He pulls her leg over his thigh and runs his hand over it absentmindedly. A quiet show of appreciation for her being with him.

They sit like that for a while, sharing a few sips of wine and listening to jazz. Chris closes his eyes for a little bit and sighs the last of his worries down the drain. He relaxes, almost dozing off in her arms and she lets him. He's so exhausted, the poor man, and she missed him. This quiet time with him is everything they both needed. 

Eventually, they have to get out. The water is growing cold, and he's about ready to fall asleep, and as much as she loves him, he's too heavy to carry back to their room alone. "C'mon, honey," she whispers, patting him on the shoulder. He mumbles a complaint at having to move. "I know, but we should go to bed, hm?"

 He really looks like a kid at that moment, stumbling out of the bathroom, barely towel dried, with a sour face, while she blows out the candles, kills the music, throws away the wet petals and removes the plug from the drain. The wine is shelved, the glasses disposed at the sink, and she makes her way to their bedroom, completely drying herself off. She puts on some lotion just to complete the self care evening, and pulls on a shirt of his and a pair of underwear, before slinking under their covers. Chris is sprawled under them, only in his boxers, almost on his third dream by now. 

Still he feels her, and he blindly throws his arm around her, pulling her close under his chin like she's a teddy bear made for cuddling (and maybe for him she is. )

"I love you," he tells the side of her head, with a kiss sleepily dropped on her lips, lazy and tired. She smiles against them, noses bumping into each other and sharing an exhale.. 

"G'night, baby." She snuggles in his arms, breathing him in. He smells like lavender now. Her eyelids feel heavy and so does her heart, in the best possible way. "I love you too. "

Did you like it? Lemme know :) I'd love to hear from y'all.

[crinkle-eyed-boo]

I read your two fics back to back Own the scars and Mine would be you. New to the fandom as you can probably tell. Own the scars was a very painful ride and I don't know it just made me cry so bad especially the way you wrote Louis and him dealing with mental health issues was just so perfect I have never seen someone get it so completely right and I just finished mine would be you a few hours ago. That was also so so beautiful especially the way you included Louis' songs and really Contd

I just loved the concept how used the songs in this work subtly so so subtly like I was just humming defenceless and I realised how you could relate the song to whatever fic Harry and Louis were going through. I think it summed it up pretty well and Harry's art of course his portraits of Louis and insp from his book. You're one of my favourite authors. I love both these fics with my whole heart. I love how you connect the past and present a lot of people aren't able to do that and (Contd)

Epilogue was just so so perfect. I really can't put into words how much I loved both your works!!! I'm sorry that this is so long I just hope I conveyed how much Iove these fics and also one more thing you're like Louis the readers and listeners can always take something from your works and it's always relatable. Thank you for sharing your work with us!!! 3 asks phew I hope you don't mind my rambling...

ANON PLEASE, THIS MADE MY MORNING, LIKE, RAMBLE ALL YOU WANT. 

I genuinely don’t know if I will EVER get over how you compared ME to LOUIS, like I AM NOT WORTHY, and holy shit, that’s like the best compliment you could ever give me. 

Both of these fics are incredibly special to me. Own the Scars will always be my baby, my screenplay that I started in college and finished in the first 2 years of living in NYC, and then it lived under my bed for almost 15 years before I showed it to @disgruntledkittenface and we were like “This could be a Larry fic.” Writing it was the best creative experience of my life. 

The concept for Mine Would Be You came to me during a very tumultuous off/on relationship and subsequent final break up that dominated my life from like 2005 - 2009. I wrote the first two present day scenes and the start of the first painting scene, but I could NEVER unravel it otherwise, because in the original concept, I could never unravel how person A ended up taking person B BACK. (Mainly because to this DAY, I have never forgiven my ex who was the inspo, even when he tries to reach out.) But, as I was searching for an idea for my Big Bang, this idea came roaring back to me, and, much like Louis says in the fic, I knew the story was finally demanding to be told. After talking it through with Maggie, she helped me hone the concept and reimagine it, telling both sides of the story and framing it differently. 

And then how could it NOT become what it was when Harry and Louis dropped Fine Line and Walls? They gave me SO MUCH MATERIAL it was like tailor made for what I was writing at the time. (Also, welp, it shows how far behind I was that I was able to name Louis’ books in chapter 5 after those song titles and having a strong grasp on what the songs meant to me, OOPS. BUT I GOT IT DONE). 

Anyway, now *I* have rambled. Thank you so so so much for this. I am so happy you enjoyed both OTS and MWBY. I have two more long multi-chapter fics if you want to check them out (There’s Such a Lot of World to See and Let Our Hearts Collide) as well as a timestamp for Own the Scars and a very fun and smutty one shot called No Bunny But You. Please come back and let me know if you end up reading those.

gosh -20? i can never endure the cold, the most it gets cold here is like 60 (fahrenheit) ~15 celsius! it doesn't snow here but in the winter we get wind and light rain ;-; (i don't know if you can tell where i live based on the weather, can you guess? HAHA) but yes stay warm as well ! -🐿

ahh well i hope you had a fun new years anyway!! but yes stay safe and healthy <3 omg 256gb didn't sound like a whole lot until i checked my phone and... i'm sitting at 64gb 🤡 tho my gallery is mostly just tbz and fic insp LMAO. but yeah INSTAGRAM TOO NOW as if it wasn't already hard enough to keep up with their updates in one spot!!

league, val, and... overwatch 🥴 the trifecta of red flags AHAHA. and omg sstbz... sunwoo's raps!! are so difficult!!! would agree that thrill-ing as an album is difficult, obviously with out of control, but thrill ride... isn't exactly one easy either... but omg watching juyeon play compared to the other members is so funny!! ahh i see, yeah skating is fun!! i quit bc of a knee injury years ago but like i wasn't great at it anywayyy :') now it's kinda just fun showing off a little while casually skating with friends or attempting to teach them simple moves haha (or like... analyzing olympic figure skaters like i've been doing these days LMAOO)

juyeon has actually made a comeback on my bias list since my last message about him slipping but i feel like that might be due to his hair... maverick era did him dirty >:(( i'm also writing him rn so there's that LOL. ooh the wadada dance looks like so much fun!! i saw the huening fam cover but ngl still don't like the song very much... agreed that the second half of the chorus is what makes it not so good HAHA. smiley is fun, have you listened to the rest of the album? i'm obsessed with her bside pretty boys 🤩 ooh polaroid love is a nice song to write to!! hmm i really liked yuju's album OH AND the game by pentagon!!

ohhh i don't think i would've guessed air being last for you but the earth vibes part is so interesting considering it's not in your big 3? have you read into your chart? i'm not exactlyyy a believer but there are some things on my chart description that seem strangely accurate HAHA. i have a taurus moon, libra rising, and gemini venus/mars!! oh is your theme still dark purple... would i find u... if i went thru my followers 👀 JK JK but that's a pretty colour!! i like purple too 🤩

just 60 fahrenheit??? lucky omg... i cannot stand walking my dog these days it's so cold 😭 wonder if jacob is also enjoying this canadian weather now that he's back LMAO. but hmm based on that i'd probably guess cali, arizona, nevada, texas for where you live??? haven't been to texas but when i did a winter trip to the other three states it basically felt like the fall weather here :')

but yes stay warm!! take care of yourself!! i hope you're doing well <3

basically it doesn't seem like she is lgbt at all looking at her answers, she is directly asked... she made it because it IS 20gayteen and she's just making something she thinks people want... and it feels annoying to me. so while i think people could relate to the lyrics i don't think rita does people.)com/music/rita-ora-releases-girls-bisexual-anthem/

Anonymous said: she’s a trashcan! link 

okay so the article that quote is pulled from is from 2017 before the actual content of the song ever got released, if you wanted to you can just… pick that quote apart:

When Katy Perry sang I Kissed a Girl, it wasn’t necessarily her saying, “Guys, I’m a lesbian”. It was more about feeling empowered to be outspoken and free to choose and pick, and say things. That’s what Girls is about and it’s really exciting. I’m not the only one doing it. A lot of people have been doing it throughout the years. I’m just joining the pack.

I mean, Rita’s saying she’s not a lesbian – there are a lot of wlw identities that aren’t ‘lesbian’. what I get from this is that she’s saying people now have the ability to express themselves in certain ways and the fact that other people are doing it is what’s inspiring her. again, we don’t even know what kind of song Girls will even be at this point in time, you’re gunna judge a statement made about a song that wasn’t even post-production yet? scroll down a bit and:

When you wifed Cara, that kicked off a huge storm.

Yeah, I think it’s safe to say we started a trend. I think we did. She’s one of my faves but that’s just another era. We were on fire then.

Was it ever sexual, that relationship? It was ambiguous.

Well, that’s the point.

You seem comfortable with your sexuality.

It’s just the way people are. You choose who you are and who you want to be. And that’s just who I am. I don’t judge anyone. I don’t have opinions unless they’re on myself. I just do what I feel. I really react off of feel and instinct.

doesn’t sound super straight to me, sounds like she doesn’t want to be labelled by the press or put her own business out there, which is completely consistent with what she said recently:

For you, personally, were you trying to share something with your fans about your own sexuality?

I knew people were going to look into it like that. I definitely said it because I can — and it was one of those things where, if I was 50/50…I’m not saying I’m “70/30.” … “I’m 50/50, and I’m not gonna hide it.” I’m not hiding what I am, who I am, if I wanna do this, if I wanna do that. That’s just how it’s gonna be.

For me and my career, this is definitely the most open-booked I’ve ever been, if that’s a word. I’m definitely an open book with this record, and I’m really proud of the support I’ve got with my fellow collaborators.

Would you consider yourself bisexual or fluid?

I think the way…If people look at it like that, it’s very narrow-minded, and I don’t think that’s what this record is. I don’t think that that even matters. Yeah.

Are you hopeful this song becomes a bisexual anthem?

Definitely. I definitely want it to feel like it’s an anthem to somebody. I want there to be a sense of freedom for anyone who listens to it. So I’ll take it!

so like, it sounds like she’s someone who doesn’t want to be labelled, writing an anthem that she feels will empower people. the lyrics are very on the money, it’s about wlw, whether it’s her POV or someone else’s. I find it ironic that the blog you sent me is a Harry blog when he has the EXACT same stance about his personal life. but that’s misogyny babe. men don’t have to reveal the details of their sexuality to write a song about being bi-curious but women do?

I’ll agree that “I Kissed A Girl” is shitty inspo, but it was also a hugely defining mainstream pop moment for bi-curiosity. we can argue that it was problematic because it was, but it also inspired a lot of actual queer people to embrace their curiosity and it being a pop landmark for another pop artist to reference as inspiration isn’t actually a surprise.

I, for one, fully support this track and the women on this track, and look forward to the bi-sensation that will sweep the nation because of it.
