10 YEARS OF E•MO•TION 🖤 (24 June, 2015)

*noun (\i-mö-shen): a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. ex: "She was attempting to control her emotions."

I didn't really want to create the same exact type of music [as Kiss]. I do have a passion for Pop, shamelessly so. I just love its melodies and hooks. I love the simplicity of sometimes getting to an emotion in such a kind of a hit-you-on-the-nose sort of way. At the same time, I didn't want to just make a pure pop album. I was really interested in the '80s. I was really interested in some alternative types of production and I wanted to find a way to combine all of these flavours that I liked. And I knew that transition from what I was known for was going to take time for the public, and for me, to be able to discover exactly what that was. So I had a meeting with my label and management pretty soon after the Kiss Tour wrapped up and just kind of presented my thoughts. Said “Listen, I think that I'm sick of hearing myself on the radio so I imagine other people probably are too. I do have other ideas for what I want to do with my musical future and I want you to put your faith in me that I'll come back when it's ready.” […] It timed out really well with moving to New York which turns out to be one of the most inspirational cities. I came back […] and said “I am halfway done with the album take a listen.” They said “Carly, it's so ‘80s.” And I said “Yes, it is.”

oh you think your show's slow burn situationship is sooo insane??? really??? there is an episode in season 7 of the x files that opens with scully leaving bed shirtless and she walks away and it pans over to mulder, also shirtless and still sleeping. THIS IS NEVER MENTIONED OR EXPLAINED. at the END of season 8, scully's baby is revealed to be mulder's and they confess their feelings for one another. AFTER HAVING AN ACTUAL BABY TOGETHER. thus, the popular fan theory, the season of secret sex.

Remember this legendary scary image?

Guess what, we found its real author and origin! This was an incredibly fun scavenger hunt. Please give this video a look if you want to know about it!

I've never cared less about two characters in my life. Does anyone else feel insane.

Yet again it's impossible to get a good photo of this because my desk lamp was sent FROM HELL specifically to torture me.

Here's my refrence + the sketch for this. I left the final pretty sketchy too cuz i like my art to look that way

Also if anyone was wondering what the little note doodles are, each one is something from a different season 9 episode (excluding heaven sent and hell bent)

The Magician's Apprentice - Missy's teacup

The Witch's Familiar - a dalek

Under the Lake - i was considering a top hat for this one but i went with the dog tags (?) cuz all the crewmembers wear similar ones

Before the Flood - the key n such of beethoven's fifth symphony. Which i think is refrenced idk there's something to do with beethoven

The Girl Who Died - this one's just a viking shield

The Woman Who Lived - Me's mask and gun

The Zygon Invasion - this and the next one are the jackets of the Osgoods

The Zygon Inversion - see above

Sleep No More - the spooky little things they attach to Clara's head, i think when she's in the sleep pod thing? I couldn't find a very good thingy for this one

Face the Raven - the raven

Okay you guys.

IF YOU PRIMARILY DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH reply with what you mentally call it, if you have a nickname for it or something

Both funnily and adorably within the stripped-down Altador Cup event this year they keep revealing that different players from various teams are queer and/or psychologically traumatized and now some part of me wants them to reveal that Team Terror Mountain is a giant polycule and not explain it at all

I know that some British people take umbrage at Americans calling the Great British Bake Off relaxing, but it's just because GBBO is such a different kind of stressful from American baking shows.

American baking shows will be called something like "Cupcake Knife Fight", there's horror movie lighting everywhere and dramatic stings every 5 seconds. All of the contestants are shit talking each other and fist fighting over the one single deep fryer provided by production. It will show the judges all whispering to each other at their super villain table overlooking the whole kitchen, and one will be like, "Oh my god. Everyone look at Brenda right now. She's straight tanking it." And it will cut to Brenda, who is running around covered in flour and crying and also bleeding for some reason. Then you get a clip from an interview with one of the contestants, and they're like, "I really need to win this. Without this award money, I'm gonna need to close my restaurant, sell my dad, and live out of my car. AGAIN." Then the giant digital doomsday clock overhead lets out a horrid klaxon, the judges tell half of them that their cupcakes taste disgusting, and one of them gets eliminated and sent to walk down the dramatically-lit shame hallway never to be seen again.

Meanwhile GBBO is in a lovely, brightly colored tent, there are delightful and friendly hosts/jesters there to keep everyone entertained, and all of the B Roll is of like... a bumblebee going into a flower, or a lamb running in a field. And yes, there will be moments where someone will mess up their timing or something, and they'll be looking at their bake through the oven door like, "oh gosh I don't think this will rise in time!" Then they stand up to find Paul Hollywood directly behind them ominously. His creepy whitewalker eyes will glow white, and he'll say something like "the 12th of June. 2035. Drowning." And his eyes will go back to normal and he'll walk away. Then the baker gives a playful grimace to the camera and says "that didnt sound great, did it?". Cut to a sweet looking older woman sipping tea on a stool and she says "oo I do hope that Prue enjoys the taste of my sugary, sticky baps!". Then, at the end, someone gets a gold star for doing good, and the loser of the episode gets in the middle of a giant group hug. You see all of them at the end of the series at a giant carnival with their families and the post credits informs you that all of the contestants have become a Partridge Family-style traveling band and stayed friends forever.
