Stanley Kubrick on film
joel finds a camera and expresses his desire to make a smut film.
warning(s): 18+ explicit, daddy kink, smoking weed, also lots of dirty talk, dirty things
silver fox two decades into outbreak!joel where cameras are a rare thing to come across but somehow weed isn’t. not a request just another fun little thing that kinda came out of nowhere. still working on some other stuff ! why he always comes out so dirty in everything i start to write is beyond me :)
-
the smell of smoke, sweat, and sex filled the air of the quaint room.
the stereo’s playing a mixtape from some romantic-alternative nineties albums on shuffle. joel bought a quarter ounce of weed from one of Tommy’s friends. went as far as lighting all kinds of candles and placing them throughout on various countertops. as soon as you walked in you couldn’t help yourself from grabbing him and laughing, “are you trying to fuck me or set me on fire?”
he grumbled about this being one of his trying efforts to woo you. while you relax and unwind together sharing the first spliff, he pointedly mentions how he found a camera while he was going out salvaging for stupid goodies with Ellie that afternoon. screen uncracked, quality like new. even the battery was at a lucky hundred percent. he wanted to take advantage of a lingering fantasy now that he’d been presented with an open opportunity.
it wasn’t until a few hours later, fucking and devouring you every way you’ve always liked, he managed to assure you only his and your eyes get to re-watch the hypothetical smutty tape.
reality also was that you got high and felt too fucked out to put up a fight anymore, and he needed to savor it all on film.
it wasn’t necessarily a hypothetical anymore.
joel’s hungry expression hides behind the camera lens as his thumb clicked to capture your each and every movement. he went on to start video recording after a little while of obtaining a lengthy photo gallery.
while he’s puffing on the roach end of another joint, he blows the smoke out from the side of his mouth. puts it down and starts to focus solely on you, ashing whatever’s left. he could see you were already smoked out over half an hour ago anyway. once he gets his fill of watching you tease yourself, rubbing your tits, thighs and legs up and down, he coaches you into opening up a little more.
“yeah, yeah. don’t be afraid to spread those lips apart—just like that, atta girl. gorgeous.”
he zooms in on your naked legs until the screen shows nothing but your drooling, freshly fucked pussy into frame. still pulsing around nothing, leaking the cum that’s yours and his combined inside.
sweat sticks to his forehead and his hair is comparable to a birds nest at this point. he’s hard again, even if he’s drained his dick in you several times in different places earlier. he easily slips into the role of film director, starts telling you how to move and what to say.
“gonna play this back and watch it whenever I miss you. wanna thank you for doing this, baby,” he sighs. runs his hands up your legs with admiration. “let’s see that pussy, yeah. spread ‘em nice and wide, wanna see.” two of his fingers scissor your puffy lips open. his thick spend slowly starts running down your leg.
“fuck, that’s gorgeous. looks so pretty when you’re all used up. full of my cum.” he already knows future him will easily finish less than two minutes into this. “tell the camera who fucked this sweet pussy.”
”you did daddy…” you answer, shy pink cheeks stuffed into the pillow, turned over to the side.
“mmm it’s okay, baby girl. don’t gotta be shy. you know I’ll always tell you exactly how bad I want you.” he breathes, leaning his head down to yours to hold your chin as he spoke. the camera’s still in joel’s grip. it picks up the soft sounds of his rough voice reassuring you. gentle and smiling. he just wants to watch you have fun for him, over and over, on repeat. this was the best solution.
he gets the camera and puts your body back in frame. he thinks he’s turned into Stanley Kubrick as he moves it around to get different lighting and angles of your pussy. once he’s found the most lewd, up-close shot possible, he keeps the lens focused.
“so go ‘head baby. since we’re playing show and tell, go on showing and telling the camera everything you begged daddy to do to you.” he instructed, keeping his eyes glued on you through the square little screen.
you’re grinning ear to ear, still flushed under the spotlight of attention he’s putting on you.
“I…I begged daddy to cum inside me.”
“that’s right, sweet girl. what else? did it feel good, feeling daddy fuck you hard like that?”
he’s stroking himself in a tight fist now, your leftover juices still lubricating his shaft. now the camera’s framed on the two of you, eagerly pleading and teasing with him. you’re harsh when you slip two of your fingers inside, watching him with an open mouth.
“yeah, mmhm. I see that look in your eyes. needin’ my cock again. this,” he holds the tip right up to your lips, making sure the camera sees. “is yours baby. could fuck and suck it all you want. whenever you need.”
he moves the camera higher to capture a nice bird’s eye view as you suckle down on a mouthful of his tip, running your fingers through the milky evidence still pooling between your legs.
a warning pops up on the screen, something about a low battery. joel curses under his breath then picks up speed with his hips, reaching down with the other hand to find your clit. he holds his breath while looking at the sight, delighted by the visual. he starts to feel the build up as he remembers that he gets to re-watch this over, and over, and over again.
“gonna have to go a little faster baby, yeah. just like that, that’s perfect.”

🎄🎵Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas🎵🎄
Holiday (365443) persona chart observations
🎅 Individuals with Ascendant at 1° or 3° get really excited in advance at the thought of Christmas coming. They tend to approach the holidays with the same innocent joy they had as kids even in adulthood
🎅 Stellium in 2nd house = tasty Christmas dishes and gifts are their only priority lmao
🎅 Neptune trine Venus tend to get lost in the beauty and bling of Christmas decorations
🎅 The sign and house where Jupiter is located tells you what type of gifts you might usually get on Christmas (it's also great to use as a gift guide!!):
🎁 Jupiter 1st house/Aries: gym equipment; sports-related merch; tickets to an event, which you're really passionate about; hats/head accessories; could also be something related to the natal Ascendant (check the description for your natal Rising sign for more info)
🎁 Jupiter in 2nd house/Taurus: lots of chocolate and sweets; clothes; art pieces; scented candles; perfume; fine china; kitchen utensils; cookbooks; (renewed) subscription to a movie streaming service
🎁 Jupiter in 3rd house/Gemini: a (new) car; books; musical instruments; handpan (if Jupiter is in Pisces or it positively aspects Neptune); your most memorable gift might come from a sibling or a relative (cousin, uncle, aunt)
🎁 Jupiter in 4th house/Cancer: plushies; heated blanket; board games; photo albums; your most memorable gift might come from your parents or it might be something passed on from generation to generation
🎁 Jupiter in 5th house/Leo: concert tickets; a trip to the tattoo parlor; gold jewelry; could also be something related to the natal Sun
🎁 Jupiter in 6th house/Virgo: Fitbit/smartwatch; aesthetic stationery (notebooks, planners, writing instruments); reusable water bottle; humidifier; pets
🎁 Jupiter in 7th house/Libra: make-up; beauty gadgets; a romantic partner/fiancé (no, but fr, you might get a love confession during the holidays); your most memorbale gift likely might come from your partner (if you have one)
🎁 Jupiter in 8th house/Scorpio: money/gift cards; sexy time toys; stockings; could be something the individual is obsessed with
🎁 Jupiter in 9th house/Sagittarius: trips to exotic destinations; henna hair dye; compression socks
🎁 Jupiter in 10th house/Capricorn: vintage decor; office chair; office purse (or just one that screams "high status"); sterling silver jewelry; high quality alcohol drinks
🎁 Jupiter in 11th house/Aquarius: electronic devices (smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc.); video games; anything related to supernatural beings (aliens, mermaids, fairies etc.); telescope; anything you've wished for/been manifesting
🎁 Jupiter in 12th house/Pisces: anything sleep related - pajamas, bed sheets, pillow sheets (or a new pillow), silk sleepmask; crystals; manifestation journal; tarot decks; art supplies
🎅 Christmas traditions based on the number of planets in angular/succedent/cadent houses:
❄️ High number of planets in angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10) = starting new family traditions
❄️ High number of planets in succedent houses (2, 5, 8, 11) = carrying out family traditions
❄️ High number of planets in cadent houses (3, 6, 9, 12) = tweaking/improving current family traditions or letting them go if they don't resonate anymore
🎅 Sun square/opposite Saturn & Ascendant conjunct/square/opposite Saturn = Grinch who doesn't like Christmas, but doesn't do anything to "destroy" it; might show a lot of sarcasm during the holidays; they might not celebrate Christmas due to reasons related to their position of Saturn
🎅 Sun square/opposite Mars = Grinch who doesn't like Christmas, but actively tries to "destroy" the holiday spirit for the people around them by picking up fights with loved ones
🎅 If you want to "hire" a Santa to show up with gifts for your kids on Christmas (aka choose one of your friends to fulfill this role), the best Santa would have atleast 3 of the following:
Sun conjunct/sextile/trine Jupiter
Venus conjunct/sextile/trine Jupiter
Sun/Moon in 5th house
Jupiter in 2nd house/5th house
Jupiter conjuncting MC
Sagittarius Rising or Jupiter as dom planet
Ruler of 2nd house (benefic planet) in 5th house and vice versa
Asteroid Abundantia (151) conjuncting Venus/Jupiter

Tumblr media
a/n: so sorry for the wait everyone, somethings in irl have came up and i had to take care of it. we’ve ALL BEEN WAITING AND IT’S NOW HERE!! ENJOY! there will be a part two if this gets enough love <3
Tumblr media
gojo satoru.
satoru would literally go insane, he’s actually one of the fans who get into EVERY. FAN. SIGN. every album you’ve made, he has it on his shelf with some limited addition photocards of you and he has you on the back of his phonecase 😭
literally do NOT play with him, he streams your music everyday whenever he’s bored, or even just going out in general. satoru is definitely 0.1% top listeners for your music and just loves seeing how talented you are.
if i’m being honest, if you had a concert, HE WOULD BE THE BEST DRESSED THERE!!! i know he won’t play with his fits because concert fits are equal to going to the met gala, he had to step his game up ✋🏼 he always cheers you on once you go back home and treats you with a day where you and him only hang out. <3
Tumblr media
geto suguru.
don’t play with him, he has a whole stan twt that updates on your well being whenever you go on live and translates it too 😭 he definitely is the one who also takes those high quality photos when you go to an awards show, airport, concert, etc.
i’d feel like he’d be the type to actually to be one of those popular stans like as i was saying in the first part, his display name would definitely look like this, “ suguru // i am y/n’s bf (literally)” 😭 he’d play your songs everywhere, even if you were around. if he heard one of your songs in public, he’d definitely take a video of it and start singing lightly in the background of it and send it to you 😞
suguru is definitely happy that he found a partner that is so passionate into what they want to do and is good doing it, which is singing and dancing. LMFAO I FEEL LIKE FOR HALLOWEEN, HE’D TRY RECREATING ONE OF YOUR ICONIC FITS IN A GUY VERSION LMDAOOO THATS SO CUTE!! 😩
Tumblr media
kento nanami.
kento can control his emotions easy, but DAMN ONCE YOU’RE ON STAGE, HE’S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PERSON LMFAOOO?? he got his phone out like that one scene in mean girls 😭 he definitely loves your stage presence and how you make the stage feel so powerful because of your talent
he definitely asks for daily voice notes of you singing for him to get through the day and always has his headphones in to listen to your music. whenever you show him a sneak peak of your upcoming album, he always asks you if he can go to the studio with you himself 😕
no cause imagine you accidentally got hurt on stage and had to continue to perform to just be professional, nanami would be the sweetest man ever and notice it right away and text you/call you to make sure you’re okay with some of your favorite meal and some candy for a good job gift 🥹
Tumblr media
toji fushiguro.
this man is your personal bodyguard, he’ll literally protect you from those weird fans (all idols need those bro, some fans are actually so weird LOL) he’s very protective of what fans say as well about you, such as you being gorgeous, pretty but he knows at the ens of the day, you’re all his
he’s a very simple man, your fans get to see your goodnight message and he gets to hear you say goodnight to him 🤫 literally best fan service ever, you’re giving him free selcas and photocards too with your gorgeous ahh cmon now 🙏
he wouldn’t always brag to his friends or anyone that you’re his girlfriend but when he hears your name in a conversation or one of your songs in public, he’d say something like, “oh, they’re playing my girlfriend’s song. mhmm, she’s mine, didn’t ya’ know?”

I present unto thee this persistent thought:
One thing each member of the Hotel owns that Niffty is careful to never damage, no matter how manic her cleaning spree or bug massacre.
Lucifer has a photo album. While most of the photos are of him, Charlie, and/or Lilith, he's started to add pictures of other residents of the Hotel to the album, as well. There's many of Vaggie, several of Angel, a few of Husk, a couple of Niffty, and one very precious photo that Alastor let Lucifer take without glitching the picture or destroying the camera. Niffty always makes sure that the photo album is in a safe place before she starts cleaning Lucifer's things.
Niffty is always careful to never stab near Charlie and Vaggie's bed. Where would they cuddle if she broke it hunting for bugs?
While not technically a thing, Fat Nuggets is safe from Niffty's crusades against bugs and grime because Angel would be sad if he got hurt. Besides, she's trying to teach him tricks!
Husk has a favorite chair. The chair was ruined a couple of times and needed to be fixed/replaced (Niffty isn't quite sure which Alastor's or Lucifer's powers do), and Husk is always sad until the chair is back. This results in Niffty outright protecting the chair at times.
And, of course, Niffty doesn't break anything of Alastor's. He doesn't own much, but has kept most of his meager yet high-quality belongings for decades, and what little he does own is precious to him as a result. This includes herself and Husk, and while Husk might not be too happy about that (and will sometimes push Alastor too far), Niffty is perfectly fine with being a maid for the Roach King!
Niffty will always be there to clean up messes for the others! What else is a maid for, after all?

BTS School Era Concepts - the timid first steps of finding oneself...
ahhhh...yes, the debut years! the rookie period, the years of trials and tribulations, the hip-hop school era, the years of sweet highs and bittersweet lows...or that part that I like to dub in my head as the tween years of their career, that awkward in-between period where you try to define yourself and to find your "voice".
reminder: as I've said in my post for BTS Now...an (awkward) fun concept I LOVE all the boys and this series of me talking about their concepts is just me expressing my thoughts, based on my personal tastes on the stylistic choices... we are here just for the vibes and having fun going down the memory lane.
disclaimer: the photos used are not my own ofc, credit goes to their creators.
so now that we cleared that out...shall we begin?
Tumblr media
I dunno how it is for the rest of you guys, but being from an older generation and not having my cringe years blasted all over sm is a blessing that I'm sure our boys will love to have. we all go through it, it's just that some of us have the lucky fortune of having them just in a physical photo album. my personal cringe moments come in the form of facebook memories and having to see again some cringe posts or comments that I made 😬. but, at the same time, I also feel endearment towards my past self - "you were trying so hard,eh?" and I like to think that our tannies feel the same way .
Tumblr media
some...choices were deff made here. I can kind of see what their stylist was thinking with the sportswear, trainers, baggy clothes, heavy bling-bling - all hip-hop coded, the make-up choice being to emphasize their grittyer selves, I can even close my eyes to the kitschy gaudy prints (are these versace knock-offs or real versace items?🤔)...but to me it just reads as a hip-hop cosplay, or at least the korean idol version of it. let's not talk about the weird choices that were made regarding namjoon's hair style or covering hobi's face (that man was beautiful then and is beautiful today and I hope the rumours that I've read/heard about this particular thing are not true).
Tumblr media
perhaps their over stylized hip-hop look is typical to the korean idol scene...I dunno much about that, bc as I've said in the post of how I found them, I don't know much about the k-pop scene and I'm mainly interested in them. one thing is for sure though... their determination, resilience, discipline, and their passion, their hunger to achieve their goals are unmistakable evident from the first bars they droped. and...just look at them! they have an endearing, precious quality to them - look at yoongi being so loud and showing so much skin (how many thirsty fans have played in slo-mo that part of choreo from we are bulletproof pt 2 when he shows his midriff?🫣), or at jungkook being a shy *coughs* I mean tough looking bean, or at jimin playing so hard the macho card.
Tumblr media
n.o. era continues the same thought line as their debut,regarding the styling, with very few variations. unfortunately, imo jimin drew the short straw because there is not one single photo in their photobook album that is flattering to him. 😥
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the only good thing about this period visually is that it gave me ginger yoongi with a bandana (so cute and gorgeous)...
Tumblr media
....and it also gave me pimp yoongi with a fur coat 😆. hey, no judging for where my mind takes me!
Tumblr media
dark and wild era took a more grungier,punk vibe with their styling, less emphasis on bling-blings and more put on form fitted styles, leather, ripped jeans, and generally an emo (jungkook) bad boys kind of vibe, accentuated with very heavy eyeliner (they went a little overboard with it imho). I really digg jimin's look in the bottom group concept foto.
Tumblr media
I think that jin embodies the best this concept here, helped also by the aloof cold persona that he is still playing, and I also like namjoon's punk hairstyle (in this instance, bc I've seen a clip of him with an over the top mohawk that didn't look good at all 🙈). the one they did dirty this time around is yoongi,and I've bitched enough when I talked about BTS Now 1 concept about the hair colour, hairstyle and eyeliner to not rehash-it again, but if the stylist went for a bad boy look with him with the face tattoo...they kind of missed the mark and instead ended up playing into a stereotype.
Tumblr media
imho they should have gone more for this type of bad boy look. yoongi can tap really well into his bad boy persona you just got to let his natural self shine.btw...I'm not mentioning poor taehyung at all, because those concepts looked really bad on him.
Tumblr media
luckily this era also gave us 'war of hormone' which imo is a much better suited style for them, that embodies much better youthfulness, rebellion and the I dont give af rock attitude much much better then what they were going for before.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
all of them look amazing!! and I love how taehyung and yoongi were just feeling themselves.
Tumblr media
and the less we say about their oral fixation, the better! also hobi with red hair...😗🤌🏻
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
by the end of their school era, I think it's safe to say that signs of a 180° style and concept change were kind of there, and I can't wait to gush about it.
Tumblr media
thank you for your patience in reading this and I would love to hear your thoughts on this era if anybody is willing. also big thanks to @irmi3454 for that pic of jimin in a leather jacket.
Tumblr media

Here are some close-up looks at the new edition of analog(oblivion) 000 as I get these ready to start shipping this week from my home print shop! Despite how it sometimes appears, these are all photos of the actual paper; every pixel of the CRT from the original captures is preserved in crisp detail:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This second edition print is actually an entirely different piece from the sold-out first edition: Whereas the first one was the art used on How to Destroy Angels' Welcome Oblivion CD cover, this is the variant seen on the vinyl cover. Variations were important to the overall presentation of this art: The figure shifting in and out of phase, altering your perception of its presence depending on where you saw it, gave an unsettling feeling that its presence was liminal, bringing to printed stills the constant turbulent motion of its analog VHS/CRT glitch origins.
If you had the original download version of the album, you’ll remember how the embedded artwork changed from track to track until the figure eventually dissolved into, well, oblivion. So I wanted to take a unique approach to these prints that reflected the intention of all these variations.
Tumblr media
If you’re wanting prints or video prints or holiday cards from me before Christmas, please get those in TODAY! Attach a note to your order if you want a custom holiday greeting on the included sticker.
All of my limited edition prints are personally signed/numbered fine art giclée prints on archival matte paper, printed by me to personally ensure the finest museum quality on 308gsm German fine art paper at ultra high 1440dpi print resolution, and packed/shipped worldwide with care by my wife Steph from our home studio in Tacoma, WA. Every print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and an exclusive sticker.

-In NYC (29.07.23) in the day we got a video that share the collection and were add it 2 new ducks (maybe john got them after taking the pic of Ausbury) [duck count: 79 + 1 turtle + 1 octopus] .
Tumblr media
My edit is awful and I have to put some photos on top so you can see all of them. Anyway in the image we see duck with glasses and mini yellow duck.
-Same day at night more ducks were add it. This is the last one and the most hard to figure it out because of the picture, I probably miss something but this is what I could notice, in the NYC show (29.07.23) 7 ducks join the family [duck count: 86+ 1 turtle+1 octopus].
Tumblr media
In the upper photo we see duck shark, crochet duck, hidden duck, darker unknown duck, sparkly big green duck, yellow duck with something in their back and helmet duck.
Just like this collection got out of control, this post as well, If you have links of the story of fans who give ducks or better photos or name suggestions for the ducks please share it with me.
I have the same post on twitter in english and español if you want to share it over there. I'm hoping fans that gift ducks see it and could tag me in better photos so please reblog and retweet.
In the European leg tour John doesn't show the new ducks in all shows and the photos are really dark with not a lot of close ups but I will try to do another recap.

My impossible quest to find a decent scan of ONE photo of John Deacon
It all started a couple of years ago, when I saw this photo on facebook, in all its three pixels glory. I swear, the resolution has not been touched by me, it was like this:
Tumblr media
I knew this photo because its one of the portraits in A Day at the Races and I think everyone has seen them, I was already familiar with this one eyebrow game from John. But then my quest started, because as you see the portrait in the album is cropped at his chest and I needed to have that waist-up picture in HD because I'm obsessed with his hand on the hip.
Tumblr media
The quest brings me to various resolutions of that same pic, nothing about the bigger one yet. Then I even find THIS one on Queen Photos, from 2013, that is the most pristine and crispy and high quality photo I've ever seen, you can literally count the pores on his fucking skin, each hair in his eyebrows, it's insane. (The other members are there too)
Tumblr media
... aaaaand it's cropped at his collarbones.
Tumblr media
I kept looking for the full photo quietly every now and then for the past years, no idea of how or where to find it.
And... by reverse search I ONLY found... this.
Tumblr media
Now. Can you hear my table beling violently flipped? Of course it's at least something, it comes from a spring issue of the Fanclub's magazine, but I barely understand if it's 1995 or 1985 💀
Will I ever be able to find a decent scan of this pic?

She made her initial debut in the rotational girl group ALLUME in 2005 as the group's leader and lead vocalist until her generation's graduation in 2010. Myrah is often credited for making ALLUME as popular as they are, achieving international stardom during this time for her strong attitude and natural star quality. Her run in Allume would be dubbed "Myrah and Friends" by fans due her popularity often overshadowing her groupmates.
Myrah would immediately begin a solo career after her 2010 graduation, destroying both the Korean charts and Japanese charts with the mini album HAUTE TOPIC. HAUTE TOPIC would break records for having all four tracks debut in the Top 10 on Melon. Moonlight, Chase Me, Starlight, and Kitty Kat would all break into the top ten and remain there for a solid five months. Myrah's solo career would be proflic and global, debuting in Japan shortly after her Korean solo debut where she would destroy the charts there as well. She would be the highest-performing Flowerbank soloist ever until the acquisition of Baebi's contract in 2023.
Myrah is still a high profile celebrity, starring in a handful of blockbuster films, critically acclaimed dramas, and becoming the face of many luxury brands through out the years. She is also the head of the creative board in Flowerbank Entertainment, owning an impressive amount of stocks in the company. She has been the host of the radio show AllTalkMe for over ten years now, keeping her and Allume relevant over the years.

"I don't think people realize we haven't actually had sex...I wish but we're acting, guys." One of her first viral moments as an actress was in 2016 during the press tour for A Man and a Woman with her co-star Gong Yoo. Myrah and Gong Yoo would go on to have a public relationship that would often have them going viral for their cute and funny moments. To fans' dismay, the pair would split in late 2020.

This would have very little effect on Myrah as she would go on to post a couple of photos of her with T.O.P and Gdragon in the studio with the caption: "I lovvveee rappers!! (*^^*)♡"
"She's a bitch! A hot one though!" Myrah would shout out her car window when she was escorted out of a club by Flowerbank CEO Kim Iseul. Myrah was a bit of a club-goer post-Allume, often having to be picked up by friends or, on rare occasions, her CEO. When asked by paparazzi about her thoughts on Iseul having to pick her up, prompting her to say her now most iconic line.

EXIT EDEN Reveal New Single ‘Run!’ Feat. Marko Hietala + Announce New Album “Femmes Fatales”
Tumblr media
[photo credit: Stephan Heilemann]
Symphonic metal supergroup EXIT EDEN, feat. Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis), Anna Brunner (League of Distortion) and Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite), are back to mesmerize audiences with their second studio album – illustrating strength and female empowerment with the title Femmes Fatales – set for release on January 12, 2024 via Napalm Records. EXIT EDEN’s new masterpiece contains its own original compositions as well as covers of international hits, and refers to the “femme fatale” as a symbol of women taking control of their own narratives with autonomy, intelligence and independence, and bringing pure feminine energy back into the world. 
With their debut, Rhapsodies in Black (2017), entering the German album charts at #15 and millions of views on their previous official videos, the trio presents the new single “Run!”, featuring a magical guest appearance by matchless vocalist Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish). Written by Anna Brunner and Hannes Braun (Kissin’ Dynamite), original track “Run!” showcases another astonishing facet of the album by bringing a folk-ish vibe alongside the outstanding appearance of Hietala, gracing the track with his distinctive voice. The haunting song arrives with a high quality official video, luring the listener into the mesmerizing world of EXIT EDEN.
EXIT EDEN state:                            “We are back and very excited to re-introduce EXIT EDEN, starting with the single ‘Run!’ – our very first original song ever. It features the legendary Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish), and we couldn’t be more honored! This is only one of the many facets of our new album, ‘Femmes Fatales’, and we can’t wait to share all of them with you.”
youtube
When Clémentine Delauney, Anna Brunner, Marina La Torraca and Amanda Somerville came together to form EXIT EDEN, topped by the release of their first album, Rhapsodies in Black, in summer 2017, it became immediately clear that this combination would be both powerful and magical! These four outstanding and independent female vocalists proved that symphonic heaviness can go hand in hand with pop music – dressing well-known classics in a yet unheard soundscape, and evoking more than just a covers album!   Now performing as a trio, EXIT EDEN‘s new full-length follows the path of its predecessor, as it contains six cover versions of famous cross-generational super-hits, but this time also shines by offering six original compositions. With one exception (“Dying in my Dreams”, co-written by Marina La Torraca), the remaining five original songs were brought to life by Anna Brunner and Hannes Braun (Kissin’ Dynamite), who is also responsible for recording, production and mixing, whereas the album was mastered by Jacob Hansen (Delain, Amaranthe, Volbeat, Destruction and many more).

Tumblr media
Self-confidently leading straight into the tempting world of EXIT EDEN, opening “Femme Fatale”,  “Buried in the Past” and “Hold Back Your Fear” conjure a mystical atmosphere with strings and orchestral elements, topped by complementary vocals uniting the sonic diversity of the all-femme trio. “Dying In My Dreams” and album closing “Elysium” set the tone as captivating mid-tempo tracks with intense choruses that speak straight to the heart. Moving further along the path where Rhapsodies in Black left off, EXIT EDEN picked the next selection of international super-hits – transforming them into their very own creation, yet still paying reverence to the originals on Femmes Fatales. “It’s a Sin” (Pet Shop Boys), “Separate Ways” (Journey), “Desanchantée” (Mylène Farmer), “Poison” (Alice Cooper), “Alone” (Heart) and “Kayleigh” (Marilion), re-arranged as undoubtably striking rock/symphonic metal compositions, form the common thread between the debut and Femmes Fatales.
With stellar vocals, an exceptional concept and high-quality production, EXIT EDEN have crafted another standout album that absolutely succeeds in expanding the identity of the supergroup even more, and gives fans the chance to experience three of the most beautiful and talented women in metal united as one on Femmes Fatales.
Femmes Fatales tracklisting: 1    Femme Fatale 2    It’s a Sin 3    Run! (feat. Marko Hietala) 4    Separate Ways 5    Buried in the Past 6    Désenchantée 7    Dying in my Dreams 8    Poison 9    Alone 10  Hold Back Your Fear 11  Kayleigh 12  Elysium

rewatched Megamind just now because my dad got his hands on a HD copy after many years and uhh yeah it's the best movie ever made. (FYI I've been watching an SD cropped .avi for my whole life so seeing it in such High Definition™ was eye-opening)
(also if you plan to read this whole thing sorry for the quality of the photos these are all taken from my phone because I have Megamind just. In my album)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These people can be seen after Minion speeds away in the invisible car (hitting some guy in the process) and they're like, trying to figure out why they feel like they got hit by a mfing car it's so cool
Tumblr media
There's a Raiders of the Lost Arc reference that my dad pointed out? That's cool
Tumblr media
Where tf was Hal planning to store that "bouncy house he rented" when his apartment is like twelve square feet
Tumblr media
Also the Roxanne "Good night Hal" poster totally caught me off guard even though I knew it was there lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOOK AT HOW ROXANNE AND MEGAMIND/BERNARD LOOK AT EACH OTHER THEY'RE SO IN LOVE
Tumblr media
BROKEN MIRROR IMAGERY
Tumblr media
Hal wearing a mask when we first see him, when he's acting all "heroic" and shit, and then tossing the mask away just as he gets rejected, and then not wearing the mask for the rest of the movie because THAT'S HIS TRUE SELF?! THE THEMES OF LOOKING PAST THE INITIAL ASSUMPTIONS YOU MAKE WHEN YOU MEET A PERSON AND SELF IDENTITY IN THIS MOVIE MAKE ME GO FERAL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The scene in the rain is so beautifully animated and scored it makes me want to cry 😭
Tumblr media
I never noticed this but Megamind reverting back to his old habits and "evil" ways after Roxanne finds out he'd been lying to her is just chef's kiss 💋 Like, he had such fun back then being thwarted by Metro Man, and then he starts growing as a person when he hangs out with Roxanne, like when he restores the paintings to the museum or cleans up the park he doesn't take credit for it or anything, he just wants to see her happy
And then she dumps him and he tries to get over it by being "himself" again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Titan rising from fire imagery? Okay I see you movie (I'm literally holding myself back from screaming because you're so amazing)
Tumblr media
Also the way that Megamind gets so tense and frightened when Titan actually threatens to kill him? Because Metro Man would just give him to the police (acab) because it's not in his morals to kill someone
Tumblr media
Metro Man walking on water and having his feet kissed imagery, also obviously being modelled after Elvis Presley who people worship like a god 10/10
Tumblr media
Markiplier looking down for a moment and legitimately contemplating his question "Who would I be without you?" Because he's having a kind of identity crisis, wondering what he would do if he wasn't born with these powers and automatically assigned the role of protector because of them
Tumblr media
Another thing about Titan, I love how in the scene where he's introduced formally with powers, the score is written like it's supposed to be romantic, or heroic, but there's a weird thing Hans Zimmer did where he managed to make it sound sinister especially towards the end, when he gets angry at Roxanne
Overall thoughts: I'm in love with this movie.
I am also furious that we went from "It can be easily reheated, in the microwave of evil" and "I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots" and "There is no Queen of England" to;
"It's either a paper weight or a flash-grenade, so careful with that"
Tumblr media
"I have eyes that can see right through lead" is the funniest thing to ever grace my eyes and ears.

HUENINGKAI: “Once I like something, I end up liking it for a long time”
TOMORROW X TOGETHER The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION comeback interview
2023.02.08
Tumblr media
HUENINGKAI listened closely to each question with his hands neatly folded as if in prayer. He would always nod along as he listened to them, waiting for the very last word to finish before answering. He knows he must wait so that he can fully absorb everything. HUENINGKAI has always waited like this, and he’s waiting now as well—for the roots to take hold, firmer and deeper.
Did you enjoy the photoshoot?
HUENINGKAI: I like Weverse Magazine because it feels new and fresh every time we shoot. Like last time—we were all connected through hands. I liked how this time it captured Neverland in all its dreaminess.
It’s winter, your favorite season. What have you been doing this winter?
HUENINGKAI: I spent Christmas and New Year’s with my family, which was great. I made mini cakes with my sisters. I ate tteokguk on New Year’s, so I’m a year older now. (laughs) I usually get up around seven or eight and go for a morning jog. I like the morning winter air and I don’t really feel the cold. I’m a morning person, so I usually wash up as soon as I get in and sleep, even if work runs late.
You did a Weverse Live with the other members to mark the holidays. You gave a pet rock as your Secret Santa gift, right?
HUENINGKAI: I chose that because I have a pet rock already and wanted another of the members to raise one with me, and then I got BEOMGYU. My pet rock was originally a gift, too. They’re cuter than you think—you can draw a face on them. I’m still raising it—Lionel Mbappé. It’s doing a shoot for a moment so it’s going to be a star soon. (laughs)
It sounds like you did a lot of small but fun things. (laughs) You must have been really busy getting ready for the year-end awards ceremonies.
HUENINGKAI: There was supposed to be a vacation in between, but we all turned it down and practiced the choreography instead. We really wanted to do a good job, so we tried to bump up how often we practiced. You’re always going to feel nervous when you get on stage if you haven’t practiced enough. It makes you anxious. We decided to practice more because we wanted to feel relaxed when we got up on stage. We put on a high-quality performance so I was satisfied with the result. I think it’s particularly amazing that the dance break we did at MMA [Melon Music Awards] managed to contain our whole storyline in just five minutes.
Tumblr media
The beginnings of The Name Chapter were at MMA.HUENINGKAI: I really think this new album is our conceptual peak. It brings up the subject of Neverland, so it makes connections to Peter Pan, too. I feel like Neverland would be like the Nightmare version of the concept photos: It seems like a good place at first, but then you realize there’s something ominous about it. It’s like a video game: I like games, and when I have fun playing and hanging out with other people in the game world, I feel like I want to stay there. But it’s a virtual world and it’s not real. There’s stuff to do in the real world, so I’ll enjoy what I can then come back and focus on my work. I felt really happy while shooting the Nightmare version, actually. I liked lying down on the nice, soft floor with all those cute stuffed animals around me. (laughs) How did you interpret the message behind that concept?HUENINGKAI: It’s about deciding to get out and escape from Neverland even in the face of temptation from the devil. The story about that temptation starts with “Devil by the Window.” It’s like saying, Let’s walk down our own path—I mean, I think that’s how we grow up in the end. Even though you’re an adult on the surface, sometimes you’re still tempted to go back to your childhood. Sometimes when I’m up against a wall I think about how I want to return to a time when I just had fun, went home for food and studied. But I’m the kind of person where, if something bad happens, I might hold a little grudge for the day, but I sleep it off and then I’m perfectly fine. (laughs) The other members say that’s something good about me, which I think is a good personality trait for an idol to have. (laughs) What did you do to try and express being tempted in “Devil by the Window”?HUENINGKAI: I tried to sing it as breathily as possible to give it the feeling of the devil whispering. To compare to another artist: Billie Eilish. I have so much fun dancing to it because the song and dance feel like a perfect fit for the concept. I’m currently trying to make facial expressions I’ve never made before. I’ll try to stare at MOA with a mellow look when we’re on stage. The idea of temptation continues into “Sugar Rush Ride.”HUENINGKAI: It wasn’t easy to capture that at first. It’s also about temptation, but it has a different quality from “Devil by the Window,” so I tried not to be too breathy and sing with a little bit of power behind it. And it’s hard to stay in sync for that dance because it just flows with no real clear points of emphasis. So I have a lot of concerns but I’m going to make it work somehow. I don’t think anything would make me happier than putting on a perfect performance of that song.
Tumblr media
Is wanting to grow musically another part of wanting to prove yourselves as a group? You set a goal for yourself again this year to increase how much of the music and lyrics you write.HUENINGKAI: I think I’ll still be wanting to increase my proportion after 10 or 20 years even. I don’t have a lot of time to work on it, obviously, but since we’re the ones singing and dancing, I always figure it would be nice if we could have more of our own words on the albums. You couldn’t achieve all your goals for last year, but you got the most important one done: seeing MOA.HUENINGKAI: The pandemic kept us apart for way too long. We should have been able to come around sooner and I thought it was amazing they somehow managed to hold out for three whole years. I felt really regretful and sorry. It’s really important for us to see MOA and get that energy from them, too. It wasn’t until we saw them that I truly felt like I’m a real singer. You said in another interview with Weverse Magazine back in 2020 that when you finally met them, you wanted to yell out the group greeting at the top of your lungs, dance like never before and sing “Sweat” as the encore.HUENINGKAI: Nailed it! I guess everything worked out, then. For me, the encores were the most memorable part of the concerts. I was running out of energy at that point but that part was so exciting and fun, and we could see MOA right up close and personal. I actually remember being clearly exhausted by the end of the performance at the beginning of the tour, but after doing it awhile, I got used to it. It’s like how cardio is so hard at first but after you build up your strength you can go faster and run more. It’s the same sort of thing on stage. Being that energetic and then doing “Sweat,” which is the real final song, it’s always just touching. MOA always has something prepared, too, so it’s new every time. You sang “Our Summer” as an additional encore in Manila, the last stop on the tour.HUENINGKAI: It was a pity to tour in the summer and not have “Our Summer” on the set list so it was a spontaneous final gift. (laughs) The tour allowed me to experience all kinds of things and improve myself by another step. We’re touring again in the spring. We tried to go back out as soon as possible, just like we promised! We’re going back out so soon because of how much we want to see MOA. There’s an amazing set list waiting, so look out for that. How has your relationship with MOA changed over time?HUENINGKAI: I think we actually became closer during the pandemic. It made us miss each other even more. My self-esteem improved during the tour thanks to MOA and I was so excited and grateful to see them every time. Well, duh! I’m happiest when I’m on stage and dancing for MOA. (laughs)
Tumblr media
What else makes you happy these days, whether big or small?HUENINGKAI: Yogurt ice cream? These days it’s when I eat ice cream late at night or something else sweet at night. I’m happiest when I’m having dessert. Forget meals—I’m on Team Dessert. (laughs) That reminds me of when you said, “I live life feeling satisfied every day. Every day’s five out of five, and if I feel a little let down, it’s just a little lower.”HUENINGKAI: When I feel a little down, all I have to do is eat something sweet and I’m back in business! I’m usually okay after sleeping even if I had a rough day, so it’s not hard to have five-point days. Zen—like, no thoughts, head empty, as much as I can, calmly and with positivity. (laughs) Do hoodies, stuffed animals and anime still make you as happy as before?HUENINGKAI: Of course. Those are still my favorite things in life and nothing about that has changed. What’s your secret for holding onto that feeling so long?HUENINGKAI: I think it’s just in my nature. Once I like something, I end up liking it for a long time. My feelings don’t wane that easily. I guess you could say my love toward them is great from the start. Has there ever been a time you ended up liking something later despite your first impressions?HUENINGKAI: As far as music goes, I’d say “Good Boy Gone Bad.” I like every track off our albums but I think having a good lead single every time is our specialty. To be honest, when I first heard “Good Boy Gone Bad,” I felt like something was different suddenly and it wasn’t my style, so I had a hard time accepting it. But after we did it on stage, it felt exciting and I had fun with it. I warmed up to it when I realized people who like it would probably really like it.
Tumblr media
When it comes to TOMORROW X TOGETHER, you can transcend your own tastes. Where does your affection towards the group come from?HUENINGKAI: The other members, of course. If we go on stage feeling resolved beforehand, I can really feel the difference in the performance. It makes me feel really enthusiastic when we yell, “Fighting!” together and go out there. They’re passionate and ambitious people and I think doing it with them makes me ready to keep moving forward and take on the challenge. You can’t really climb up higher and higher if you keep running away. I think being an idol means having to put up with things to some degree and I think it’s important for me to be active. When TAEHYUN said, “We chose to do this job, so we have to try and reach the very top no matter what, don’t you think?” I thought, Wow, he’s absolutely right. We have to keep going until the end. You mentioned that TAEHYUN’s had an influence on your MBTI changing from ENFP to ISTP.HUENINGKAI: I hear about what he’s thinking a lot since we’re roommates, so I think I naturally came to understand him. That must be how we both ended up as Ts. (laughs) There’s times when it’s good to look at things rationally and I used to be an F so I think my strong point is that I can understand both sides. It’s pretty amazing how I completely changed from ENFP. I was really emotional even as recently as when I was a trainee. I even cried a lot back then but I’ve become a little more rational since debuting. What caused your personality to change?HUENINGKAI: I think being so busy during my trainee years and after the debut slowly dulled my capacity to express my emotions. I thought about going home in the early days of trainee life because it was so hard sometimes, but after a few years I learned to just accept it. So sometimes I feel bad lately when I’m having a hard time and I say that to the other members. We’re all working together and all have hard times and I don’t want to pass my troubles on to them. When you said that, “as the youngest member, I want to be a reassuring presence” for the others, was that born out of the same feeling?HUENINGKAI: I wasn’t grown up yet when I was a trainee and I was so childish (laughs) so I don’t think I really earned much trust from the other members. Even after we debuted, I still thought about how I wanted to gain their trust. But now that we’ve been living under the same roof together, we’re just like family. I’ve been waking up to YEONJUN’s face right in front of mine ever since we were trainees. (laughs) Now, even if one of us feels like giving up, the other four can keep things moving along and help each other out. You always emphasize how important it is that you achieve things together.HUENINGKAI: We’re a team and it’s important that we’re all doing a good job together. That’s how we show the real TOMORROW X TOGETHER. If even one of us isn’t giving it their all, it isn’t TOMORROW X TOGETHER, I don’t think. I also picture us in the future together, reaching the top the way the BTS members have. And I hope our members will be happy after that. Honestly, I think their happiness is top priority. I just want them to be happy because I know how hard they work.
Tumblr media
On Weverse Live, TAEHYUN said, “Do you want to plant a tree in the spring?” You replied, “I think I’ll be a little sad whenever the tree grows. If 20 years passes and I see the tree grew, I think I’d feel so proud. Proud, yet sentimental.” What made you feel that way?
HUENINGKAI: I think because I would feel time passing by. I feel like I’m still a fairly new artist, and if I saw that tree growing, I’d think, Wow, it’s already been that long. Time really flies.
You said you were sad when Ash became the Pokémon champion, too.
HUENINGKAI: I was already showing my true colors when I was little (laughs) and I liked the anime ever since I was a kid so it made me sad to hear someone I spent so much time with would be retiring. I looked it up and Ash and Conan are the two longest-running main characters. While the main character kept changing in other shows, Pokémon’s always been Ash. In the context of the story, the fate of everyone who becomes champion is they end up retiring somehow. I already knew it was going to end that way, but it’s still really sad. It’s just like it would feel looking at a tree if we planted it—sentimental and moving.
At least Ash must be happy. (laughs)
HUENINGKAI: Because he became the very best. Now we can reach the top, just like Ash did.

The Holy-Occult Dream Realm of Phantasmagoria
Author: Rutena Lukas
Mater Suspiria Vision is, to me, one of the Monarchs of what I classify as "High Occult" Witch House and their 2017 album Phantasmagoria is one of the finest examples of that.
An aside first: I have personally defined subgenres within the greater Witch House genre, and personally define High Occult Witch House as anything within the genre that heavily embraces or evokes qualities of occultism, spirituality, mysticism and ritualism. The sound is often trance-inducing and transcendent. It makes my head spin in the best way.
This album as a whole dances between dream and nightmare, it's the visions you'd have if you fell asleep in an abandoned cathedral, the air thick with memories of cloying incense.
I will fall asleep to this album, and accept its visions readily. I will share those visions with you.
The Contaminated Photos of Valentina Crepax: This track yearns, she hungers, she devours. She holds me with a grip so firm it hurts, because she doesn't want me to go. She is possessive, and in my time with the song I belong to her. And how can I resist, drunk on the incense haze? I gleaned this from the song before I knew of the Valentina comics for which she is named, and what I know about the comics only reenforces this feeling. Sensual and longing. This track is like a wife to me.
Danze Macabra (Aether Shock 1): The dream shifts from my longing, hungering beloved and slowly slips into a nightmare vision, tense and even alarming, I bear witness to exorcism in a broken abandoned cathedral, the one I fell asleep in to have this dream. The exorcism vocals and the percussion evoke a deep, primal fear, though I do not know if I fear the demon or the exorcist more. Even the calm of it is tense and eerie, before slipping even harder into a fearful madness where I can feel a divinity I cannot bear to look directly manifest before me.
Light of Darkness (Aether Shock 2): There is now only the Unknown Divinity that the last track summoned standing before me, I can now bear to look upon it, but I cannot fully comprehend it, being of light and shadow. The exorcist and the possessed are both long gone, only this being stands before me. Wreathed in passing comets that carry its voice, it fades slowly back and forth between being mostly light and mostly shadow. Gentle yet intimidating. I am sure it brings a blessing more than a curse. I am once more in dream more than nightmare. It slowly fades from the world.
The Garden of Void (Aether Shock 3): As the divine being fades the cathedral feels both restored and more abandoned, though still clearly abandoned, the stained glass windows are whole. Even though it is no longer visible, I still hear the divinity speak. The cathedral blooms with flora, moss and small white flowers. The divinity has stopped even speaking, it may even be gone now truly, and I watch night fall from within the cathedral. I can see the milky way like nothing else even through the stained glass. It is magnificent.
Metamorfose de Bestien: The dream shifts to a new location. Thick dark woodland that smells of leafrot and animal musk. I wander the woods, tense but awe-struck, I know there is something out here with claws like steel. That is not what I fear about the woods. I am trying to meet it. There is anxiety over what will happen if I do not. I hear it in the distance occasionally. I know it promises me something but I do not know what. I desire its gift regardless. I continue to hunt. Just as I finally meet it, great grey werewolf, with the promise of being just like it is...
Phantasmagoria: ... The dream shifts again before I can accept its gift. I am back in the cathedral. It is back to being broken and worn but the flora from before remains. The roof is long gone, and I can see the sky through it. I test against the altar to stare at the sky. I contemplate when this was once a lively place, with people in it. The stars are so bright. The broken organ sighs and moans of its own volition. I contemplate the werewolf and its gift I missed my chance to accept. The organ shrieks its last and I sense something is amiss. Tense but not yet fearful. Something is coming. I am unarmed but if have to fight I will fight. Tense. Deep breaths. Nothing has come, not yet. But there must be something. Something is going to happen. I can no longer determine if this is dream or nightmare. I feel the ghosts of this place in my bones. I am dizzy but I stand my ground for whatever may come. My nails dig into my palms. Certainly whatever is coming will come soon. Tense. Deep breaths. My palms bleed from the intensity of clenched fist. The sense of danger lifts as I wake up on the floor of the cathedral, disoriented. I can still smell incense.
Conclusion: All in all this is a top tier album to me, a fantastic collective of visions and dreams, a gloriously coherent narrative in emotion and tone. I recommend giving it a first listen (or even a relisten!) in a room with dim lights and lit incense.

Peter Tork; photos by Nurit Wilde.
“Tork in the late 1960’s” - Nurit Wilde, Instagram, June 19, 2021
“I’m free, I don’t know what I’ll be doing. I’m actually a little apprehensive, because there’s no doubt that there are three other incredibly talented fellows out there. They’re very talented guys. Mike is one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. Micky is even funnier and Davy is just cute as a button. Who could ask for anything more? Davy dances so great, did you see him dance in the film? I’ve not seen dancing like that on the screen except from Fred Astaire. The only other thing is that I’m both really relieved and really, really apprehensive. I’m terribly glad and also terribly sad.” - Peter Tork, NME, January 25, 1969
"[Tork] says The Peter Tork Project plays music ‘sort of on the heavy end’ of album-oriented rock radio. ‘We’re not heavy metal per say, but we’re just on the pop side of that,’ adds the affable performer. The band, formed in January with Scott Avitabile on guitar, Jerry Renino on bass and Derek Lord at the drums, is one of several ensembles with which Tork has performed since leaving The Monkees. [In the early 1970s, Peter was a member of the] San Francisco-based rock band named [Osceola]. ‘That was a name full of significance,’ he said. ‘[Osceola] was chief of the Seminoles, the only tribe never to have surrendered to the federal government.’ Tork said he identifies strongly with that kind of defiance. ‘All of my early life was spent feeling out of whack. Physically I matured late and never was very athletic and always found myself on the short end of the stick. I was raised in a liberal family in the middle of the McCarthy era.’ Against those odds, Tork inevitably developed an inferiority complex that he carried into adulthood and his musical career. When he became one of four young men chosen out of 437 applicants to become what were supposed to be the ‘American Beatles,’ his self-doubt grew to mammoth proportions. ‘Half of the time I would think I didn’t deserve it and the other half I would think I was God’s gift to the children. I got my head turned around. It was the “arrogant doormat” syndrome low self-esteem combined with arrogance.’ [...] Tork recalls now that he wanted things done his way, but wasn’t willing to put his effort where his mouth was. His subsequent attempts at a career of his own were consistent failures, and for a while in the mid-’70s he joined his wife in the teaching profession, instructing a variety of classes in private high schools. That career was shortlived. [More about Peter’s time teaching here and here.] ‘Not that I didn’t enjoy teaching, but there’s no money in it. It’s a tragic comment on social priorities, but there it is.’ Tork expresses fervent enthusiasm for his new group [...]. As for his old bandmates, with whom he enjoyed superstardom for such a short time so many years ago, Tork says he stays in touch. Assessing his relationships with each one, Tork favored the diminutive, British-born Davy Jones ‘because he could see things the others couldn’t. Occasionally he was able to reach down into the depths.’ Drummer [Micky] Dolenz, who gained childhood fame as TV’s ‘Circus Boy,’ was ‘a whole lot more fun’ to be around than the other Monkees. Nesmith, considered the most creative of the four, was the most ‘respectable, in the sense that he did his work and had a sense of his own work ethic.’” - The Daily Oklahoman, November 7, 1983
"To tell you truth… I… I never was able in those days [the '60s] particularly — I’m getting better at it these days — but in those days I was almost entirely unable to fight for what I saw as quality. If I didn’t get somebody fighting on my behalf then it didn’t, just didn’t come to pass." - Peter Tork, Headquarters radio, September 1989 (read more here)
"I had pathological self value. I really didn’t have a sense of it at all. I didn’t get why. I thought I had been picked almost at random. I didn’t have any sense of myself bringing anything except that character to the Monkees. What I thought they hired me for was that character, and I think to this day that that had a lot to do with it. I didn’t recognize how that sprung forth from whom who I really am. I thought I was faking them out. I thought I was handing them a lie and they were buying the lie — and so how could I value myself? Any time you compliment somebody and they can’t take the compliment, what they’re saying to you is, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about.’ That’s the message that anybody with low self-esteem gives back when somebody compliments them. Which is where I was. All that played into this fame thing. 
And it plays backwards, too. The reason that I got into the fame game was because I didn’t have any sense of value. I thought, ‘Jeez, if I can get the millions to love me then I’ll be all right.’ I got the millions to love me — and it still wasn’t all right. What a surprise. Ha, ha, ha.” - Peter Tork, Toxic Fame: Celebrities Speak on Stardom (1996) (x)

Hey sea! Can you please give me the interpretations on each song from FITF?
Hi there!
I was looking at the FITF tracklist again, and something struck me that other people have mentioned but which didn’t really crystallize in my mind before. But this post made me realize that something really snapped in Louis’ mind during the pandemic.
In Louis’ Alt Press interview, he said, “I wondered if this was going to be my narrative for the rest of my life, where I'm just constantly frustrated that life wasn't dealing me the hand that I wanted.”
Louis talked about a few factors motivating him, and once he got started with writing Faith In The Future, things went really quickly. He got most of the songs done within 3-4 months of writing. The factors were:
1. Being able to sell 160k livestream tickets: he realized that he could “do this at a high fucking level.”
2. The influence of John Frusciante and Red Hot Chili Peppers, whose Live at Slane Castle documentary Louis watched FIVE times. Frusciante had left RHCP during a period of personal struggle, only to return to the band while making solo albums over 32 years. 5x is an obsession.
3. Moving away from the heavy, confessional balladry of Walls toward the lighter, more dynamic stage-driven Faith In The Future. Louis not only felt that he could do it (“Self-doubt, worry and a lack of confidence have, at times, plagued Tomlinson”), but that he DESERVES it. Louis feels his worth. The boosted confidence injects wry humor into much of FITF: despite the heavy themes, the album is ticklish with laughter.
So, just keeping this in mind, I realized that the songs on FITF generally had a theme of Louis’ saying, “You can’t have me anymore.”
In Walls, Louis was writing about going through a breakup, feeling forlorn and lonely (Only The Brave), wishing for reconciliation (Always You) and begging for love (Defenceless). Being alone was something he was afraid of, something that made him feel darkness and insecurity. Even when Louis was reconciled to being alone and trying to be brave about it (Walls, Fearless, Copy of a Copy of a Copy), there was still a feeling that he was responsible. Maybe he was not worthy of love. He woke alone with the same “problems under the sheets.” He had been Too Young. He was addicted to a Habit that had long ago stopped giving him happiness. Louis’ reaction to the pain: Kill My Mind.
In a way, he was working through the stages of grief (many types), but hadn’t really made it through depression.
In FITF, Louis’ attitude has flipped a switch. He is no longer scared or insecure. Louis has become aware that he’s amongst The Greatest. He knows that his journey is worthwhile; he can build his life for his own happiness, and he will no longer beg ex-lovers or any lovers. Whoever wants to come along with him is Lucky to be on this trip. There’s a feeling of light, wind, openness, amplitude, a hope for Paradise, the relief that he can look at any thoughts of suicide in the rearview mirror with gratitude for having survived, a grace and delicacy to his spirit, a distancing from personal anguish. On this album, Louis is nonchalant, effortlessly cool, calm, mature, sexy. It’s what makes him irresistible in every recent photo, and what gives his Instagram selfies an elegant, feline quality. Louis has defined success and peace on his terms, and love seems both sadder but also more attainable, calmer, warmer, because Louis loves himself more.
For Louis’ Track By Track explanations, you can read them here. These are my interpretations.
The Greatest: I’m never going to be in the cold again. We will never see the setbacks we saw in the past. No one will make us disappear again.
Written All Over Your Face: these petty fights are stupid. Whenever you feel like it, you can find me on the other side waiting. And by the way, both your anger and your desire for me are written on your face.
Bigger Than Me: I needed a bigger perspective. Time gave me a chance to rethink.
Lucky Again: there’s no use wishing things were different. Fate has other plans for me. I’m worthy of love; I will find it again.
Face The Music: forget consequences and anxiety. Live in the moment. Your instinct will tell you what’s right.
Chicago: our breakup hurt me incredibly deeply. No matter how much time has passed, it feels just like yesterday. But I learned from it, and I can rise above it.
All This Time: no matter how hard I try, part of me will never be “normal.” But what stays won’t be reminders of the pain of trying to fit in. It will be the love. Pleasure is pain. But pain is a lesson, hard won.
Out Of My System: A wall is a wall but sometimes it feels fucking good to smash it down.
Headline: you thought you could judge me and pin me like an insect, but you were wrong. We could have had a love like a poem; instead, you treated our love like the fucking tabloids. If you had tried to understand me, we could have made our own forever. Now I’m free; I have flown.
Saturdays: my heart might be broken and I’m a grade-A sap tbh, but my hometown is my secret weapon. Whenever I feel lost, I will always find myself there: “there” being the metaphor of Home that I carry inside. My childhood memories will always tell me who I am.
Silver Tongues: I’m a 90’s kid. I guess I’m a 90’s man now. Part of me still lives there. And I want to tell the kid in 2004 and all his friends, you’re gonna be alright. Hang on. Be good. Things will work out.
She Is Beauty We Are World Class: a brilliant night out
Common People: Doncaster is my touchstone. It grounds me and makes me who I am, reminds me what’s real.
Angels Fly: sometimes you have to table your grief and share a drink or ten with a friend.
Holding Onto Heartache: sometimes hearts don’t heal. Life feels like death. Every day feels worse than the previous day. Bad things pile up. What can we do? I am an artist, and I can write a grand, magnificent bridge to scream it all out, and it feels pretty goddamn cathartic! And maybe, maybe I can help others feeling the same way. My high is higher than most, and my lows are darker, but we can resist the pull of darkness together.
That’s The Way Love Goes: it’s their loss 🫡
You can see that many of these songs have the theme of recovering from loss, from heartache, but with an ebullient lightness that was missing from Walls. Most of all, Louis is also stepping back from sadness and self-blame, and giving himself some value. He knows he’s put in the work and he deserves good things, and he’s willing to wait for the payoff.
Forgot to add these photos of Louis looking thirty, flirty, and fucking hot.
