#musical tour of my mind

[illustratingwithwords]

Popped back up on here just to say: Chen has always had the most spectacular vocals, the latest group comeback solidified that, and I can't wait to hear his next project.

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

my favorite trolls fun fact is that the korean voice dub of poppy is actually in trolls world tour !!! the blue kpop troll wani is played by wendy (the main vocalist of the kpop girl group red velvet) and she’s also poppy’s korean voice too :)

🎤🌈 — Just a random thought

but I think the reason why I can now accept and fully love the jukebox aspect of Trolls is because they fully embrace music into the story.

First movie kinda established that they sing and all BUT it’s the second movie is what fully made me believe that singing is part of them. World Tour was brilliant for expanding the world building with different trolls based on music genres. Beside it being just such a fun concept, it makes it so that music is literally part of their culture and species.

That’s why it feels more normal for me when they break into a song. It’s their #1 way of expression and living. They’re musically-based creatures.

By the third movie, now they’re just having fun with the whole idea of music by playing around with the idea of bands. And I love it.

They actually used the aspect of music to drive the lessons of their story. It’s been a while since I watched the first movie so I actually don’t remember what it was about but:

World Tour (2nd movie):

About accepting and celebrating all different types of culture and people = Used music genres.

Band Together (3rd movie):

About family and working together = Used music bands.

It works really well. So it makes me wonder what they could do for another possible movie? What other idea could they play around it? What if they don’t follow with another story based on music? Would it work?

But yeah that’s what I’m very excited and scare for if another movie were to come.

#talk #But yeah I’m so down for another movie #I just love how they use music for the story #Glad we all can agree that the songs in the movie are bangers #Can you tell this franchise has been stuck in my mind #Just silly little creatures that dance and sing #long post #text post #trolls #dreamworks trolls #trolls band together #movie analysis #trolls world tour #analysis #media analysis #txt post #txt #de trolls #trolls movie #troll #dreamworks

I get to stand on this stage every single night of this tour and watch the most beautiful things happen. I watch you guys make friends with each other, I watch you bond, I watch you give each other friendship bracelets...I see so many beautiful interactions happen, and I hear so many stories about friends that were made at these shows, and I watch it happen every night. It's the most unbelievable thing to watch. And so I was hoping to ask you that, as we lead up to [Speak Now TV] coming out, I would love for that kindness and that gentleness to extend onto our internet activities, right? So, what I'm trying to say is, I am putting this album out, because I want to own my music, and I believe that any artist who has the desire to own their music should be able to. That's why I'm putting out this album. I'm 33 years old. I don't care about anything that happened to me when I was 19, except the songs I wrote and the memories we made together. So, what I'm trying to tell you is, I am not putting this album out so that you can go out, and should feel the need to defend me, on the internet, against someone you think I might have written a song about 14 billion years ago. I do not care. We have all grown up. We're good.

#i'm sure fifty people have posted this but i've only seen it somewhat taken out of context #and i feel like the full context matters #particularly the part about WHY she's doing this #“because i want to own my music” #red tv press and chatter really did a number on her #and i think we could stand to be more mindful and kinder #taylor swift #eras tour #thrown out speeches #hate the way the text was huge in the quote format and had to come back and change it 😭 #q

i did watch the wicked trailer. no, i did not like it.

#I���m always willing to be open and change my mind about things #really I am #but this whole thing is just a money grabbing scheme #it does not need to be in two parts #grande looks sickly as a blonde—it doesn’t suit her and I’m tired of everyone pretending it does #they should have cast unknowns #it’s like the didn’t trust that a musical that’s had sold out international tours #to sell itself as a movie #and that man is not a good director #anyway there’s not much to be done. it is what it is. blah blah blah.

I think in the recent productions one of the best make up for the Queens was done by the Il Sistina Production, which is a non replica  As far as I understand the make up was designed by two women.

For the first time I saw a picture that made me think, which was which cat.

They have quite different make up but because of the same colour palette and the leaving out the vibrant lip stick they do look very similar which I love.

To be fair Rumpletazer has a coloured lower lip on some pictures but it is never the bright red that was used by London based productions for years.

Also Tantomile and Coricopat: Peak design. They both used red in their general make up and costume, they both have, again a black upper lip, and a red lower lip. While Tantomiles lower lip is much more prominent, Coricopats is smaller but it’s still there. So when you give red lips to one of the “twin” characters, give it to both.

Also big fan of the fact that the queens do not have same face syndrom. I remember one video where the actors only wore make up, no wigs or costumes but you could still tell the women apart very well. With some of the newer production this becomes more difficult sometimes, especially with characters like Bombalurina, Demeter and Jemima, while Jellylorums make up seems to become less and less in contrast in some replica producitons.

I’m also so in love with Demeters make up. It’s very classical “femine” with the dark eyes and the contouring on her cheeks but at the same time it gives her a very edgy (literal) look. I’m also such a big fan of her long black upper lip. It looks so cool and cat like. And she looks different from Bomba. She is very beautiful but in her own way. They kind of do have stronger make up than some toms but at the same time the make up artists get the idea that there a very different way to give a woman hot make up, not just to slap red lips on her.

Not using the red lips on every female character also makes Bomba stick out. With her character design you can see that she is supposed to be the sexy, beautiful lady. She has more lashes and redder lips than most other female characters. It’s still towened down in a shade which fits her furr colour.

Last point is that red lips are also used for the toms. George (on the left) had a little bit red on his lower lip similiar to coricopat. Electra (on the right side) which I would argue was also to be intended one of the sexier female characters in this production by make up and costume design, has very prominent red lips too and sticks out compared to the other female “kitten” characters, a little bit like Bomba does.

Also to be fair again: The make up of the characters changed  slightly. But what is very promiennt is the black upper lip which I love because it’s so cat like.

#cats the musical #make up discourse #personal opinion #gatti #i have no professional opinion on make up #i do not put this stuff on my face I can only write about what i think of it on a very subjective level #but the recent replica production make up #especially as seen on the international tour #has a very limited understanding on what kind of make makes women look good #just saying #I do not mind the new make up so much I even quite love some of it #especially hot jenny #but some if it looks inspired by instagram and not by cats #il sistina has a broader understing of make up looks and trends especially on women #it's about contrast and shapes for me #but mostly contrast #it's the internet #i post my opinion if I want to lol
