5sos.updates Luke talked about the user readwithyn's YouTube video in Zach Sang show which 5sos attended. In case you did not know, Y/N did a YouTube video where she read every single book Luke has ever recommended. Luke revealed that he now has the 'reading bug'.

favourite sidemen videos?

AGHHH I LOVE ASKS LIKE THIS!! Ty for asking this :)

In order of oldest to newest...

Sidemen Fear Pong - Featuring Harrry's doggo Herb and the iconic "DRIVERS OF LONDON!"

Sidemen Yoga - Featuring "PHIL!", prime sexiness JJ and zesty Harry... This video gave me sm ideas of making smutshots for Phil (but i thought nobody rly wants to see hardcore Phil smut and decided against 💀💀)

The Sidemen Show Ep4 - Haunted House - Literally just a Sam and Colby vid filmed by British idiots also featuring my fave JME

Hide and Seek at Wireless - Genuinely SO GOOD, like, Wroetostar combo goes SO HARD, Hide and Seeks were at their peak when they filmed this, they had sm energy and clearly were enjoying this shit so much... Plus all their charity match hairstyles are such a throwback to see

Sidemen Bowling - So goofy, loved this era where they were all just enjoying making budget ass content together which they somehow always found a way to violate

Sidemen Olympics - Tbh i just loved comparing my sporting ability to them + knowing i can throw a discus farther than all of these mf's and their highest scores

Christmas Football Challenges - Pervy Santa!JJ will also never be topped

Try not to Laugh: w Jack Whitehall / Shocking edition / Bad jokes edition

One word Interview - Shoutout Simon, one of the best YouTube series imo... He's got way more on his channel w each member + these answers are j so iconic

James Charles Makeup Challenge - featuring Click house, KSImon, and Harry's gay panic era

£10,000 vs £10: first holiday / roadtrip / Europe holiday / song

Sidemen Go Back to School - Literally the video that first introduced me to them. Absolutely iconic. Featuring Phil, Stephen Tries and Babatunde, this and the Sidemen Bake Off are their 2 vids that go hand in hand for most iconic atl imo

Worst Outfit Wins - not the exact title but summarises it better. Didn't like this thumbnail initially and put off watching it for a looong time but honestly it's too jokes to skip

Sidemen Become Parents - Literally the way that they descend to chaos and slowly become worse and worse parents is something special that everyone needs to see, full fuckin stop.

24 Hours Handcuffed - trust me.

Make a Christmas Song - Love these songs sm, literally have them on my acc Xmas playlist

Sidemen Dragon's Den - Featuring Niko, Max Fosh (Bosh), BambinoBecky, Chi With A C, Cal² and more

Hot Wings Challenge - Lol, love seeing their pain in this + JJ's Reddit absolutely peaked when this video came out

Sidemen Pub Golf + Europe edition- Just iconic, first post!lockdown pint with the boys where absolutely everyone got involved... and it ended badly for everyone except Harry and Ethan. Europe edition features Harry's birthday and just a lot more chaos i suppose.

Sidemen Gogglebox - Harry and Ethan are fresh off of a night out and cba, KSImon is released once more, and Josh, Vik and Tobi are just fulfilling their duty of watching the programs 🤷‍♀️ Thrilling post!lockdown entertainment imo

Sidemen Silent Library (1) and (2) - super new n unconventionial concept which was just really enjoyable to watch

The Cube - They're missing half the Sidemen but have Big Randy and Stephen Tries instead. They just get drunk to cope with the depression and it turns out for a pretty good vid.

Sidemen Hole in The Wall - solely for Waterman tbh

Forfeit Blind Dates - Ethan's pervy clown character, Deji's sheer energy (litr made me girl-crush on him) and that leng last lady, whole vid was a rare Sidemen banger

Japanese Gameshow - Loved the style with JJ as the host tbh he really fit it, and ofc the Deji feature was an added bonus

Weirdest Hotels - Featuring the Chrismd on a team w Harry n Vik, this rly was an absolute banger honestly

Mystery Box Challenge - idk something j felt very authentic excitement and interest about this vid

Sidemen Become Farmers - brought out the most wholesome and sexy side of the Sidemen all around

SMALLEST VS BIGGEST CAR - Hands down SUCH a banger, the chemistry between all these TERRIFIED mfs and the surprise guest (ᴉɾǝp upside down) ik the sidemen often feel overproduced, but this felt like such a genuine shiggles vid. Oh, and that kiss between Ethan and mystery guest was err... yeah.

Lol that took an hour of my life.

Anyways, if you're ever bored and wanna binge the unanimously decided best vids of the sidemen- I've collated these vids (and a few more) into a YouTube PLAYLIST which u can add to your libraries n watch whenever - or just check out to see whether you've watched all of these or missed any

anyways, hope you've enjoyed that bc that was LONG

And those are j main channel SDMN vids, but there's sooo many good vids on the moresdmn channel on top of these... MoreSidemen has sm mf hidden gems man, one day you'll see 🙏🙏

[call-sign-shark]

Hi Shark. I was wondering if I could be cheeky and request something from you. I was wondering if you could release a headcanon for Heaven with a list of fun facts about her (i.e. fave food, color, animal, vacation spot, book, song, drink...if she went to university what d'you think she'd study that kind of thing). She's just so interesting that I'd like to know more about her. Also, I read a fic she was mentioned in the other day and I thought you'd be interested. It was just a mention but I thought it was cool. Also, I can't wait for The woods whisper part 2. I'm on edge.

Hi sweet anon, thank you so much for your wonderful ask! As for the fic, please do send me the link. I probably have it in my reading list if the mutual has tagged me but I reckon I need to catch up with a lot of things. I've been feeling quite tired lately and I’m starting a new job as a bartender so it's quite tiring. I’m delighted you find the murderous angel interesting so here we go. 🖤

𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓃 𝐿𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓎 𝒮𝒽𝑒𝓁𝒷𝓎 headcanons

𝒫𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓎 𝐵𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒹𝑒𝓇𝓈

♢ Her favorite animals are hyenas. She dreams about owning one?? She’s weird asf I know.

♢ I personally imagine her voice like the singer of Sohodolls (by the way, this song from the group is her main theme song)

♢ Surprisingly enough her favorite color is not white, but red and gold.

♢ She's multilingual and speaks: French, Russian, German, and English all fluently.

♢ She's 25 at the beginning of HYE, even if throughout her life people struggle to give her an age since she has this very woman-child aspect.

♢ Her style is quite modern for the era. When she doesn’t wear elegant and revealing dresses with gold jewels, capes or fur coats, she loves stealing one of Arthur’s shirts and tuck it in her skirt. Similarly, he had to buy a second coat ‘cause she had stolen his. Most of the time she either dresses like a goddess or a forest nymph.

♢ She loves fun fairs and circuses! When they started flirting together and meeting at church every night, Arthur sometimes brought her candied apples.

♢ She might be an enchanting singer and she might love music but she's awful at playing an instrument. She tried piano, guitar, harp, and violin but she was terrible at all of them.

♢ She has empathy issues she hides quite well. Now, I’m not saying she has 0 Empathy but she lacks of it most of the time except with Arthur or on a few occasions. It leads her to be cold and sardonic with people outside of her private circle when she doesn’t “mask”.

♢ Did someone said “lemon pie”? She’d kill for lemon pies. It’s her favorite dessert of all time.

♢ Her Birthday is the 22 January.

♢ She's fond of myths, legends, and fairy tales. If she had to pick one tale and one myth she would go for the Red Little Riding Hood and the Beast of Gevaudan. But her favorite story is Alice’s Adventures.

♢ She's a "mama bear", which means she doesn't lose her temper easily despite being gifted with an ability for extreme violence but touch her husband, kids or family and she'll go f e r a l.

♢ She talked several times with Linda at church, unknowing Heaven was already fucking her husband (and she enjoyed it). I know, that's a dick move.

𝑀𝑜𝒹𝑒𝓇𝓃 𝒜𝒰

*most of the hc above still works for her modern!self

♢ Her favorite book is The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris.

♢ She works as an exotic pole dancer and aerial performer. Considering this, she also masters aerial hoop, silks, and Chinese pole.

♢ She is currently applying to study forensic medicine after several years of gaps.

♢ She has spent years locked up in a mental institute, in the dangerous patients ward.

♢ Her favorite food is Japanese Udon soup with gyoza and Nikuman as side dishes.

♢ She loves listening to brutal music, such as metal, hard rock, or alternative trash/bimbo music even if her playlist is actually quite varied. You can go from Rammstein and Angerfist to Britney Spears and Lana Del Rey.

♢ She smokes weed.

♢ If she had to choose a drink it would be red wine for alcohol and pumpkin spice latte for sweet. But in truth, she’s that annoying gym girl so she mostly drinks water and homemade protein smoothies. She also loves boba milk teas.

♢ She's a huge fan of horror movies and games (especially FNAF), with a fascination for cannibalism. With that being said, she organizes the best girl nights ever, especially during Halloween.

Heaven is reader in the Arthur Shelby x you series Heaven in Your Eyes. Why don't you join the ride? We have drama, sex and gore.

Taylor’s use of 7 is Haylor, including seven: a thesis

Buckle up, friends. Ever since hearing the seven poem aloud on the Eras tour—with its explicit link to Wildest Dreams—it confirmed my long-held suspicion that *seven* is Haylor.

Some data:

- all track 7s post Red seem to be Haylor

- 7 is Harry’s number (added to hers you get 20, hence all the references to 20)

- seven is track 7 on folklore, the album Taylor released on 1D’s 10th anniversary. What? Harry had released Fine Line on her previous bday (#30, Dec 13/19) and she’d missed his Feb 1st day already.

But bestie, you might ask, how is it possible? Let me explain, drawing from details of the song.

We know that Anne and Des Styles divorce when Harry is 7. Anne has primary custody of H and Gemma in Holmes Chapel, but they remain close to Des whom they see on weekends.

But then, there is a period in their lives that no one knows much about and no one speaks about. Even this gem (which I am currently citing) - a 1D origin story has very little.

Harry has another stepdad whose last name is Cox (which was Anne’s name during 1D X factor time). His name was John. They family move to Great Budworth in the Cheshire countryside where Anne is landlady in a pub (and Harry talks fondly of ice cream runs and first girlfriends).

But then when H is around 12, Anne and the kids are back in Holmes Chapel. Anne eventually dates and gets serious with Harry’s beloved, now late stepdad Robin Twist. And Harry sometimes mentions his overwhelming desire to protect his Mom and Gemma at all costs.

No one ever mentions this guy. Ever.

Fast forward a few years to the magical December of 2012. After work commitments, Harry and Taylor spent 4 or 5 days in the north of England. They stay with Anne, and they Christmas bake and go on double dates with Gemma and her then boyfriend, and grocery shop and hang out with his friends. He takes her to the Lakes, where she’s dreamed of going.

It’s her 23rd birthday and be showers her with surprises and 23 thoughtful gifts (she’s not writing The Moment I Knew on his watch!). He gets her food from his childhood fave Chinese place and the bakery where he worked! He is showing her his life. It’s documented here…

Including their visit to a pub in Great Budworth and a drive around the area.

We have no idea what happened, but maybe Taylor does?

Taylor never got to take him to Pine Tree farm in rural PA, as far as we know. But in the depths of the pandemic, when no one could go anywhere, she paints him a picture of her PA childhood.

And in it, we find a fictionalized friend who has a difficult and maybe scary father figure. One from whom Taylor wishes she could save and protect her friend, despite crossing her heart and promising not to tell.

What a gift, to affirm the struggle this child went through, and to show her care and desire to *be with them in it*.

She wanted to scoop him up and take him away from the closet tears to play pirates and “run away to India”. What kid in rural PA wishes to go there? Come on! 😭😭😭

And then, here are the lyrics she pens:

“Passed on like folk songs, the love lasts so long”

“And just like a folk song, our love will be passed on…”

And most significantly - *love you to the moon and to Saturn* 🌙🪐 !!!!!

She wasn’t kidding in Gold Rush - “my mind turns your life into folklore, I can’t bear to dream about you any more.”

Thank you for the ask!! I really enjoyed sharing these!!! :D

[slaygentford]

I listened to the entire 1d catalogue so you dont have to. below I have ranked the albums on a scale of 0-5, with a total possible score of 25.* these albums are ranked on a curve, so that a 5 is not an "objective" 5, but rather a 5 in relation to the rest of the corpus.

*extra points may occur

up all night: if I hadn't been in my tragic backstory era when this came out id have been a 1d girlie. I firmly believe this. this wall to wall slaps. there was one point in "one thing" where I thought he was gonna say youve got... pussy. anyway he didn't say that. there are some PROFOUNDLY 2011 synth moments in this. best lyric: all of what makes you beautiful. I DO want to stay up all night!!!! 4.5/5

take me home: getting a little more risqué -- we are "[taking] it all the way". whoa! in addition to expressing lust there's more themes of jealousy, as well as genuine tenderness. aurally more diverse than their debut. best lyric: I can't compete with your boyfriend cuz he's got 27 TATTOOOOOS. so specific... 3.7/5

midnight memories: my favorite 1d song is on this album which is the story of my life which is genuinely so beautiful and moving. just a really lovely timeless song. best lyric is actually the concept of best song ever, which is not in fact the best song ever, but merely a description of the experience of listening to the best song ever. 4/5

4: as mc pointed out this album shares a title with beyonces best album. I will say that I was confused because there are five members of one direction, until I realized 4 is in fact about the number that the album is and not the number of lads present. anyway. this is genuinely a fantastic album. steal my girl is the platonic ideal of a pop song. girl almighty is just fucking GOOD. i fucking love it. its dynamic and genuine and fucking bops above all. night changes. night changes. night changes. night changes. the nostalgia it conjures, and I never even ate spaghetti with Zayn. no control is WONDERFUL vibe wise. and the whole album SOUNDS so 2014. this album really is freshman year of college. act my age is just fucking wonderful, an anthem (and sorry but the comparison must be made -- better than when I'm 64). 6/5. boy bands at their peak. pop at its peak. you don't get better than this album

made in the am: I was GUTTED to see Zayn is not on this album, but good for him. I wish he'd make more solo music bc his first album slapped but I understand that hes busy being a dilf these days. still. I said you don't get better than 4, but you do, and it's made in the am. its still got that boy band pep but it's branching out into actual vibes. I am so sad retroactively that they broke up bc 4 and made in the am are IT. 10/5. pop album of all time

overall rating: 28.2/25. A+

reflections: 1d is so unpretentious. obviously that's the point of a boyband in a lot of ways, but it's just refreshing to hear something uncomplicated and there's no bad words and nothing but these curated, shimmering performances of emotion. and each one of these emotions lasts about 3 minutes and 35 seconds. its perfectly contained! I love these songs also because by the second chorus you already know all the words and the tune which is PRIME sing along material. I do think its interesting how curated the album covers are. they are having such an insanely good time in them because if they don't have a good time they're not going to get to get their daily ration of tesco brand digestive cookies. its so easy to be a hater on this cold bitch of an earth but one of my fave concert experiences really was in the year 2021 screaming the lyrics to what makes you beautiful with harry "its like a movie that's a movie" styles. I loved this experience and all the new bops I found. I foresee them to be the perfect antidote for dissociating on my morning commute.

Are you outgoing or shy: Shy with new people. I'm shyly outgoing lol

Who are you looking forward to seeing: My bestie haven't seen her in over a year

What does your most recent text say: "Alright :)" Another one cause it was around the same time but to a different person. "It's just a little guy"

Do you have trust issues. Oh yeah

Favorite part of your daily routine: Everything cause it always goes the same way. We love structure over here. But if I have to pick one, cracking my back every morning cause it's so satisfying

What do you do when you wake up: Turn off my alarm if it's on, then I go through the notifications on my phone and just lay there doing random things before I gotta get up. Usually reading actually if I have enough time and oh, always listen to a podcast/music

Morning routine: What I just mentioned, but when I get up, I drink water and take my meds, go to the bathroom, brush my teeth. If I'm going somewhere I pack my stuff, and then dress up. If I'm not going anywhere, I usually start watching something and drink coffee in peace and then change clothes

Evening routine: I shower, wash my face, sometimes eat something and change into pyjamas. Mark stuff in my calendar, do my journaling and then I get into bed. I usually read before sleeping, a book or fanfic.

Do you like your neighbors: I don't really know our neighbors 👀 except the ones I dog sit for. Oh at least one of our neighbors thinks I'm creepy. (Literally steered their kids away from me while I was coming from school.)

Is your hair long enough for a ponytail: it is, I just often don't keep it in one. Unless it's dirty or I'm alone and need it to get it out of the way

Alright 😮‍💨

That was quite long, Sorry about that, I just like questions :)

If there is something you wanna know for some reason, feel free to ask. Like I said I like questions.

I might write more things here, if I think of something or find something fun

Feel free to use these if you want, I just want to note that most of these I did not make up myself and I don't know who did.

Enjoy this I guess I just got inspired and stopped studying for this, anyone I can blame on my English grade after this 👀

Also there's almost hundred of you following me, that's so weird....

<3

[izacore]

How can you not be a hater of Taylor though?? She's... ugh I can't stand her. She's like the slightly younger version of Olivia Wilde with her girl boss feminism.

eh, to hate is to care, right? i can recognize all her shitty behaviour, manipulating her own fans, love for money and capitalism and the performative wokeness and still enjoy her music. idk, i've never spent a dime on her apart from buying tickets to her shows here next year cause i'm going with good friends (and mind you, i spent less money on two very good tickets than i did for harry's jonny's place for one show lol). she's just... there for me and the reason why i reblogged the 1989 announcement is cause this album holds a lot of sentimental value for me. i listened to it a lot during the times where i refused to stan and obsess over real people, so i had no idea about any drama surrounding it or what the songs are supposed to be referencing. this album is the early mornings i spent on a bus to my high school and the sunsets i was watching through the window. it's another lonely summer i had to live through away from all of my friends cause i was stuck in my village. so yeah, i'm gonna be excited about this one thing, even after i learnt everything that's attached to it all the years later (i didn't even know who style is supposed to be about, can you imagine ahsjdj and that song was my fave off the album initially which i now think must have been a joke or a foreshadowing from the universe lol).

besides, these days i consider it a bit ironic and funny watching people still hold such a huge grudge against her so passionately when harry himself seems to not have problems to be friendly with her and is doing exactly the same things she has been doing her whole career 🤷‍♀️ i'm not gonna be fighting battles for people who waved the white flag a long time ago.

[earlgreytea68]

I’ve listened to this podcast and hosts we’re talking about harry styles album and one of them said, that she likes it very much and never listens to it, when she’s anxious or in some kind of otherwise bad mood. And her friend were like, yeah totally, so every time you hear this album, it will associate in your mind with something good, positive, pleasurable. And I’m really get them! There are certain songs, that I will only listen to in a very nice, beautiful even, environment. Like, I wanna hear a song, and be able to instantly teleport to this “happy place” I associate with it. I’ve done this with SMFSD since it’s been out. And let me tell you, now, when I’m dancing in my kitchen I relive those beautiful moments, when I listened to the album by the sea, or riding through forest trails on my bike))) do you practice this kind of thing for any of your fave artists?

Awwwww I love this idea! I don't think I do it so consciously, especially not with music. I'm not one of those people who listens to a lot of music while depressed (I know some people are; that's not just me), but I definitely get how listening to a lot of music in a particular circumstance will always work to trigger that for you. I used to put on my All Fall Out Boy playlist for my last day of the long, multi-day drives I used to have to make several times a year, and it was always a nice way to feel like I was close to being done. But I have to admit I listen to Fall Out Boy so much and in so many certain circumstances that I don't have a certain connection necessarily. But the first time I listened to "Love from the Other Side," when the single dropped, I was walking the dog and I remember exactly where we were on the college campus we walk on, so that will always be a nice memory of that, I suppose <3 (The rest of the album I listened to for the first time sitting up in bed and I'll probably always remember that, too.)

The one thing I can really remember with a song getting tainted with a bad experience the day my grandfather died I remember the radio being on in the kitchen and it was playing Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles." I was never crazy in love with that song, so it's not like it ruined that song for me, but I will always remember that. Also, when my great-grandmother died, it was back when you had to listen to music on portable CD players if you were traveling, and I flew home kind of last-minute to see her on her deathbed, and I forgot to pack any CDs, so the only one I had with me was Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine," and I just listened to it on endless repeat on the plane while I cried. But that's actually a good album for that kind of experience, I think lolololol (and I still absolutely adore that album).

When I was still working at a law firm and very depressed, I tried to be really careful about what I watched. Like, I didn't want to watch "Doctor Who" when I was in my worst moods because I didn't want to taint "Doctor Who." That was when I started watching a ton of HGTV, because it all so low-stakes and I didn't have to do any thinking about it. I really thought this would ruin HGTV for me but I still watch a ton of HGTV and I always just find it very soothing tbh. Which makes me very happy.

[margaetyrell]

my is dash just “question is about harry!!” “no question is gay!!” and i feel weird cuz i’m like standing in the middle of the ven diagram bc ik it’s about harry but also it’s kinda gay ngl 😭

well… hold my beer lmao. that’s how a song can have different interpretations for different people. i’ve just seen a post saying that when they listen to a song they don’t automatically think about who it’s written for, bc that’s quite creepy tbh and i completely agree. i see it as how i interpret it and to what extent do i identify with it. obviously, after listening to it 80 times you start connecting dots and seeing “hidden clues”, bc deep down you’re still a swiftie who knows taylor’s life better than the press. but!! you still have nothing sure and the control to see things only where you wanna see them, yk?

for example: am i aware of the ootw call in question...? yes. of style’s sad boy/good girl refs and the double meaning in gender roles? sure. but my head also considerates lines like “you painted all my nights a color i’ve searched for since”, “you’re not sure and i don’t know”, “did you wish you’d put up more of a fight when she said it was too much? do you wish you could still touch her?” or “half-moon eyes”. and bc generally, questioning those things and kissing someone in a crowded room when everyone makes fun of you and claps /coughs kissgate, exclaims gay as hell. so based on my experience i will interpret it as such. besides is one of my fave songs of the album and i hate to ruin it by thinking about a guy i don’t even know instead of dancing to it as a gay anthem.

then there’s maroon, which is more of the same but even more explicit. everyone keeps saying it’s 100% about jake bc the first impression they got was thinking about the color red and taking everything for granted. that’s it, there are no more possible interpretations! well, guess what?? there are thousands!!! and the most obvious one to me is if when listening to it i find “laughing with my feet in your lap like you were my closest friend”, “carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us” and !!! “the lips i used to call home, so scarlet” /that they left marks in her collarbone??? ….like, sorry bestie but i refuse to picture jake with red lipstick leaving marks on you - or me ftm, if i relate to the song. i can’t see it anyway. but you know what i can see, without even wondering who is she talking about??… i see perfectly how a gay relationship can be full of lipstick marks so, cheers to that

[louiswilliamtomlinsons]

hey Jackie, your lgbtqcreators gifter here!! I know you're a fan of Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, SAME <3 which Louis track is your favourite? which Harry era do you resonate with most? what did you think of don't worry darling agshfksl which aspect of their music (or music in general) impacts you most - lyrics, genre, aesthetics, vibes?

that's quite a few questions (sorry!) but I hope you're having a wonderful [time of day] 💝

Hiiiiii!!! Can’t wait to meet you!! Akjsjsjsjs love that!! Oh god I love Louis’ songs so much and picking a fave is hard. I’m going with Always You, but Defenseless is a close second. Also, we still have FITF to look forward to so my answer may change by then

Harry era, that’s an interesting question! I wasn’t here for it but the HS1 era. Just a guy, fresh out of one of the most successful bands in the world, putting on a record which featured lots of guitars and drums with great lyrics which effectively has made it my favorite album of his, playing in intimate places, wearing floral suits, being more open, creating iconic moments that will forever be remembered in fandom

Oh Don’t Worry Darling. I wanted to give it a fair chance, I really did, but the promo was all over the place (female pleasure when the women in the movie are having non consensual sex? The abusive husband suddenly being a #feminist king because he wears an apron? Only focusing in the sex scenes just because it’s Harry Styles and he’s hot right? Not having a intimacy coordinator and apparently it shows?), the Olivia/Shia/Florence situation, every time I tried to google about the movie all I could find were articles about Harry and Olivia, Venice happened, and to top it all we had that salad dressing article which effectively killed any little curiosity I had for the film. And with all honesty, I just don’t like Olivia Wilde, and I am not able to separate the art from the artist here, sorry

Great question. I’d say their lyrics first and foremost since they are musicians and that’s what they do best, their personalities a close second, because there has to be a reason I like them right? Just them being their most authentic selves (or as authentic as you can be in the music industry). Some of my favorite interviews of them is when they talk about their art, the industry and their experiences. Everyone focus on the feels like a movie quote but Harry talking about My Policeman is truly touching. Louis is eloquent and smart and I could hear him talk for hours

Anyway as you can see I love them a lot lol. I hope you have a great weekend!!!

M.I.L.K. - With Freshness

Overall, very impressed with Milk. There was a decent amount of variety on the album, although they did maintain that kind of soft vocal mixing, I dunno how to explain it but I’m sure you can tell what I mean. The guitars felt super out of place whenever they were included but it totally worked for me. I can imagine other people not vibing as much though. It’s neat to see the “change up” in this album; Seo Taiji did similar things, but Milk are no Seo Taiji. Average score of 6.8 which feels about right. It was good, there were good parts, but as a whole I wouldn’t say the album was anything super special.

Crystal

Cracked up at the “don’t worry bout it” after that intro

The actual sound is very … well, crystal

MV is … bad CGI lol

Love the autotune, I think it’s used well here. Not bon bon chocolat, a lot more restraint

I have no idea where the chorus is or what the hooks are, but i love the vibe

The rap sections are wild. Male vocals mixed in there, with singing overtop? Nice

Are those baby noises? Cat noises?

8/10, honestly very impressed. Sounds a bit like S.E.S., but still fresh. Granted, I only know three S.E.S. songs, but still.

Come To Me

Intro is similar vibes to Crystal

Nice slow jam feel after the intro. The vocals are soft, harmonies, same with Crystal actually

Synth break at 1:08, that’s cool. I don’t think the instrumental does enough to justify it though

5/10, didn’t do much to impress me, felt very S.E.S., safe and boring. But I’m never a huge fan of this style of music anyway so oh well

Sad Letter

The synth here reminds me of this one flash game that I used to play in 2006. I can’t even remember the name of the game or what it’s about but that synth sound 100% sounds like that one game and now my memory is straining trying to figure out wtf that game was

Anyway, as you can tell by my comments, this isn’t it for me either

6/10

Blind Love

HOLY SHIT WE GOT SOME FUNK GOING ON

Okay I wish it was funkier throughout though. It’s like the vocals are necessarily mixed softly

Also is it just me or do they keep saying “danger zone”?

Yeah, more grit on the vocals. You don’t need pretty harmonies in funk, the bass is trying to carry here but I want more rap, more sax, more mph

7/10

All My Love For You

Wait what is this, ‘Cause I’m Your Girl?

WAIT WE GOT THE NMIXX CHANGE UP AT 1:40 wtff

Also whats with the random unnamed male rappers? This is like the third song where that’s happened

Oh my god though I can’t get over the change up, 

That high note at 2:32 is literally ‘Cause I’m Your Girl, also so is the male doing part of the rap

7/10, I liked it a lot but it was like an S.E.S. imitation and that felt weird

I Want You

Harry Potter intro

Or maybe it’s Dreams Come True at this rate

Actually no, now that we’ve settled into it, I think I like where this going

HOLY SHIT THAT BASS

Ughhh the bass is actually carrying this so hard

And the guitar solo like wtf

This bridge is really forced. The return to the chorus sucked too

Background guitar is fun

8/10 but could be 7. I definitely liked it more than I disliked it

Secret

This intro is cool, we like string beats

This bass sounds like something out of Phineas and Ferb

I’m not convinced by any of this, it feels like the producer got their hands on a Logic sample library for the first time and made a song with random samples

Oh that false ending was cool, that actually got me

7/10, could be 8

Reason

Mmmm we love synthesized flute samples

I’m really impressed by the bass lines in all of these, they’re a lot more interesting than most modern kpop bass

The chorus hit but I was too busy writing the previous comment to pay attention

2:30 is really cool, I like the instrumental break with this selection of instruments

Yeah, I think I like this

8/10, if one of my faves released this I’d be all over it

Wish

Again, the slow jam stuff isn’t really my vibe

I do appreciate the harmonies

5/10, not my style, but I’m sure there are people who would enjoy this

She Never…

Intro is impressing me

Chorus, not so much

Okay, that rap break though. Another nmixx moment

I really vibe with the harmonies on top of the rap break, they do that a lot, that’s nice

The rest of this song is just not interesting enough to justify that good of a rap break

7/10

Stay With Me

Mmm groovy drums

Groovy bass, synths, vocal samples

The post-chorus measures tend to be more interesting than the chorus

The chorus is like, the least interesting part of these songs. I like the instrumentals, and the raps when they happen, but the choruses just aren’t catchy to me

6/10 purely for the samples

Good Time

Again, strong intro

This bass is actually so good

THERE’S THAT SYNTH AGAIN

Is that guitar in the background before the chorus?

Bringing back the autotune flourishes

Here’s the guitar again, good stuff

Haha the bridge here, nice and distorted, lofi

Cracked up as it led into the rap break I’m crying

This feels like the culmination of everything this album has to offer, I like it a lot

8/10

Week 6 SDL: 20 Elements

Bring examples of your collected items scanned, photographed, or drawn (illustrated) to develop a draft. You will need to document objects, scanning elements, etc., before class, so you have options.

Ipad

Photos

Edmonds cook book

Why each element contributes to you as a creative:

Badminton racket/medal: Growing up, sports have always been in my life. I used to play netball, softball, and badminton. Badminton has played a significant role in my life - it has opened up various opportunities for me. I have learnt and gained great insight into different cultures and the community which has really inspired me as a creative.

Candles: I love the calmness they make me feel. I have also delved into making a few candles in the past.

Adidas shoes: I wear these shoes a ton! They have a special meaning to me and I feel that I am expressing myself when I wear these.

Bracelet from grandparents: My grandparents gifted me with a bracelet with my name engraved into it. I still have it with me and it carries so many memories with it.

Letter from my year 13 design teacher: I did design throughout high school, as I felt that I could express myself. In the later years, I really didn't know if what I was creating was good, and was losing passion. My design teacher believed in me and wrote this letter that I have kept ever since, which is one of the reasons I am pursuing design.

English bag: I got this bag in the UK from my grandma who loves fashion. It resembles a little piece of my cultural background.

Rock: When I visit places I like to collect mementos such as rocks. They are so unique in their own way, and each one reminds me of where I've been and how i felt duing that time.

Pencils: I love sketching, I have done it ever since I was little as it is a way for me to just chill out. These are a couple of the pencils I use.

Photograph of great grandma: My English background has definitely had an impact on who I am as a creative person. My great-grandma used to be a nurse in the war period and brought up her 2 daughters on her own. She has really inspired me in that sense.

Lego: I have loved creating with Lego ever since I was little. I found this to be a gateway for me as a creative as I could make whatever I wanted and express.

Karen Walker jewellery box: My friends gifted me with a Karen Walker ring for my birthday, and I have fallen in love with not only the connection to it but also the packaging.

Boney M album cover/record: My grandparents have a record player and we used to play this song all the time, influencing me on music.

Scarf made by grandma: My grandma is quite creative in the sense of knitting, painting and hand-crafting things. Watching her create has definitely impacted how I want to create.

Parkrd tote bag: I collect tote bags. This one in particular is one of my faves as I love music and I love the way it has been made.

Handmade mug: I painted this mug a while back and I still remember the process of how it was crafted which I had found interesting.

Harry styles lanyard: Harry Styles is my fav artist. I have grown up knowing his music for years. His songs have really impactful meanings for me and the community he has created with his fans has been so powerful and seeing all of the diversity, and how people feel comfortable expressing themselves is what has inspired me through my own work.

Laptop: My laptop is what holds the majority of my work and where I spend a lot of my time. It houses all of my skills and knowledge.

Jewellery box my grandma made: My grandma made this jewellery box which I find beautiful.

Darlic: I love movies and series. Doctor Who in particular has got to be one of my favourites as I love how different it is and I remember being so emersed

Handmade art from grandma: My grandma hand made this piece for me when I was born.

[this-daydream-is-dangerous-13]

I always thought that Glitch is about Harry. Here's my interpretation of the song:

We were supposed to be just friends (they did become friends after the broke up in 2013, but they couldn't stay just friends)

You don't live in my part of town, but maybe I'll see you out some weekend (they both lived in LA, Harry even bying a house near hers, but later on sold it while he still lived in LA. In cardigan she also says: Playing hide-and-seek and giving me your weekends)

Depending on what kind of mood and situation-ship I'm in (Harry's Satellite lyrics: I'm in an L.A. mood, I don't wanna talk to you. She said, "Give me a day or two")

And what's in my system

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah (Harry's song Woman: And promises are broken like a stich is. It's also probably a small nod to the stitches Harry got in the snowmobile accident)

And I'm not even sorry (There's an interview I believe, I can't find it, but it was when Taylor was promoting 1989 and I don't remember who said it but they said something along the lines of and you should've called the song Style "I'm not even sorry" at this point cause it was too obvious it was about Harry)

Nights are so starry, blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

I was supposed to sweat you out

In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground (She was supposed to forget Harry with getting with Joe, but obviously she couldn't cause she's still writing about him)

But it's been two thousand one hundred and 90 days of our love blackout (I always thought that the "and it's been 2190 days of our love blackout" as in that the said relationship had ended that long ago, hence the blackout.)

The system's breaking down (the system's breaking down)

I think there's been a glitch

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch

And I'm not even sorry

Nights are so starry, blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit

I think there's been a glitch

A brief interruption, a slight malfunction

I'd go back to wanting dudes who give nothing ("Go back to dudes who give nothing" as in "all you ever wanted from me was nothing" in Sweet Nothing which is about Joe??)

I thought we had no chance

And that's romance, let's dance

Glitch

Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch

And I'm not even sorry

Nights are so starry, blood moonlit

It must be counterfeit

I think there's been a glitch

Cambridge dictionary definition of the word Glitch: a small problem or fault that prevents something from being successful or working as well as it should

They definitely weren't successful in the end

Thanks for sharing this analysis, Anon. I think it is more of a stretch to think this song is entirely about HS; I still think it is entirely or mostly about YB (or written to look that way). That said: if we get more info on future tracks, I will absolutely reassess.

A couple things I want to lift out:

The “town” references I usually thought to mean “the music industry” and YB was torn adjacent at best, hence not the same town.

I think Blondie and YB spent the summer as friends after the fabled hand touch (during the TH era) and then the Delicate hookup time, which surprised her. And they started seeing each other and that’s the time she’s writing about.

I do love that you mentioned the “I’m not even sorry” quote; it is one of my TS faves. Thanks for send the link in a subsequent ask.

It’s the closest she has ever, ever come to specifically saying that a song is about someone, lol.

“Then there’s the song that sets a new high-water mark for Swiftian faux secrecy – a sexy Miami Vice-sounding throwback about a guy with slicked-back hair and a white T-shirt and a girl in a tight little skirt that is called – no joke – “Style.” (She allows herself a satisfied grin. “We should have just called it ‘I’m Not Even Sorry.'”)”

Thanks for the ask!

favorite books

I was really into Roopa Farooki's books this year. She's a Pakistani-British writer, and her books are about dysfunctional Pakistani families that are immigrants. I read:

-Everything is True, about her time as a doctor in the first 40 days of Covid

-The Way Things Look to Me, about three siblings whose parents have died, meaning the two older siblings need to support the youngest, and how they do (or don't) do that.

-The Good Children, about four siblings, two men and two women, who grew up with an abusive mum, and how that's impacted their lives as adults
