#the greatest songs in history

Girls will be like yeah so basically Taylor swift has eradicated all attempts at creativity in favor of seamlessly merging her IDENTITY to PRODUCT and I will give accolades where accolades are due. She has been very successful at this probably the most successful person on earth at this and all it cost her is her soul. And it DID cost a soul. You could make a graph between amount of streams and quality of work and see so clearly the inverse relationship materialize before your eyes. She was not born a hack but embraced the life of a hack when she realized she would be more popular with platitudes and dialing back on oversharing and being less messy. If you replace personhood with producthood you lose your humanity but your album sales go fuuuucking crazy. I can make overtures at understanding this by reminding myself she was crucified for being a person for years and years and she has been very vocal about it doing a heavy number on her psyche. Maybe when that happens to you as a teenager the trade off seems less revolting. Getting rid of something you’re mocked for having anyway and in return you are richer and more famous than anyone has any right to be. But then I scratch my head. And go but surely you see that this is a deal with the devil. Surely with the contract laid out in front of you. You gnaw your lip. You hesitate. You follow the letter of the law but skirt the spirit of it for brief shining moments. And when she’s so publicly had misogynistic vitriol levied at her. So often for so long. IS it misogynistic for your criticisms to boil down to “she’s not likable enough for me”? At what dollar amount does a millionaire going on billionaire become a public object rather than a person? Does the fact that she’s slowly revoked access to herself change this? Is it more or less human to orchestrate your life so that paparazzi only sees you on planned outings where you look impeccable and have a message to send and you are Taylor Swift The Brand after you’ve been scarred by years of being Taylor swift the young woman in the tail end of the aughts and the 2010s ripped to shreds scrutinized for every choice and smile and dress and man? Is there a passable essay in the title Taylor Swift Doesn’t Owe You Authenticity. Maybe! but doesn’t she as an artist work at a job where she’s supposed to produce. Art? It sounds like I’m asking for ballads but I’m really not I’m asking for a song that is good. Im asking for a cruel summer which is irreplicable but surely the minds behind it can produce something more than snow on the fucking beach? Or am I overestimating the continued talent of a woman who is the platonic ideal of a target shopper? Is it misogynistic to believe the platonic ideal of a target shopper can’t create with a soul? How to talk about the fall off of Taylor swift in a woman honoring way?

five minutes later. You can’t spell awesome without ME!

Sasuke’s love for Naruto is so tender. Even tho I think they love each other equally strong, I somehow think their love for each other differs; Sasuke loves Naruto tenderly, there is hurt in his love for Naruto. Naruto loves Sasuke fierce-fully, loudly, aggressively (not violently, but I see Naruto’s love as aggressive, all consuming, can’t-live-without-you kind of love). Despite all of that, there is so much comfort, patience, understanding, thoughtfulness, care in Naruto’s love for Sasuke. And Sasuke’s love is so tenderly delicate, so tearfully overwhelming. Their love is the most beautiful portrayal of love. There is something in their love that can never be found anywhere else.

“I know that kiss will be my last”

i actually do think you can consume art by problematic authors

hell, riblja čorba remains one of my fav bands ever and bora čorba was an actual četnik calling for genocide of croats (my people), to the point where he actively said in a song he wants to murder us. and check this: my father, who lived through the war, still loves his music and regularly plays it on the guitar. my dear friend, who grew up during war, hiding in the basement, listened to his records even then, while hiding from bombs. bombs dropped by četniks. by people like bora.

the difference between him and jk rowling is that he has literally zero power. hes an old nutcase living home and saying shit. he cant do a single thing to hurt us. he cant rally people against us and use his influence to spew hate. and he stopped saying that crap anyway, bc its not relevant anymore and hes a sad, crazy man, livin a miserable life.

another thing is: his music wasnt stained w anti-croatian rhetoric. in fact, him being a četnik is still smth i cant wrap my head around bc his music was so provocative and made sense. he sang abt dangers of ideology, yet succumbed to one himself. it was. so wild.

to the point: he doesnt profit off me listening to him, and he doesnt have any power. so yeah, in his case, im able to separate art from artist bc it isnt doing active harm.

#my mother had a different stance than my dad tho #she refused to listen to him or talk abt him #we were not allowed to put on cds etc on #my father had opinion that he would never ever let čorba have a concert in croatia #and that his songs should never be played on the public radios #he said he would totally go to his concert as long as its in serbia tho #and then there was one of the greatest singers in all balkan history who had shit opinions on war in kosovo #tho he supported croatian independence and sang abt horrors of bosnian genocides #when he said one of his songs was abt kosovo it totally ruined the song for me lmfao

i’m not really at the level where i can draw animatics so i just like scripting them right now

#i just did one for my fan continuity #the song is the other side from the greatest showman #starring wheeljack and starscream! #those two have some history here. ex-scientist buddies #transformers #fan continuity #tf fan continuity #transformers fan continuity #starscream #wheeljack #i’ve played around with some ideas of wheeljack with a conjunx in my fc #i thought about bulkjack #starjack because i actually dont mind the idw version of the ship #not a fan of it in other things i’ve seen tho #i even entertained the idea of wheeljack with brainstorm and perceptor #scrapped that one though. they’re just his lab partners #for now wheeljack is just happy with himself

#bizarre. anon #suppose they might be adding more clips in order before release date. making up his entire ''journey'' #but having a 1D canvas for a song whose single status is official in some countries yet remains unacknowledged by Louis is... #unfortunate #as is the attention given to History on the playlist - but then. that must have been the point #nevermind that it's clear directioners will never be louies #guess we'll see how much 1D the film actually includes #wouldn't call it being lost in the marketing. that implies effort and a level of unwitting incompetence. doesn't it? #but it's a deliberate choice from his team to keep marketing from 1D. and their goal isn't to build credibility for him as an artist #or longevity for his career. it's to keep selling sweatshirts. isn't it? #it can't be anything but a choice to repeat the same ''promo'' since 2017 #down to the latest interview to ''promote'' the documentary and LTHQ's inconsistent and repetitive fan engagement #I assume it will be similar to the AFHF festival documentary but spanning across his career. and expanding on his personal life #we'll see if the greatest takeaways are related to his artistry

poking a hornet's nest saying that while i am an out and proud mcr fan but will that stop me? no 💕

#my post #the thing is i have never once said mcr is objectively the best band in history. like i would argue that they are probably one of #the best active live bands currently especially that are like. an act you have probably heard of #but that's at least partially because the state of rock music right now is pretty dire #but i very rarely like. if you tell me you don't like mcr i may suggest a couple of songs if i think you might specifically like them #but i'm not going to be weird about it or force it on you or be like well Objectively they are the best #because guess what music taste is incredibly subjective #i just hate when people are like ohhhh this person/band/act/whatever is The Greatest Artist Ever like. that's inherently subjective #and also usually feels wrong when critics say it. anyway.

The Beatles' Enduring Impact on Pop Culture and Beyond

The Beatles were a highly influential British rock band that formed in Liverpool in 1960 and disbanded in 1970. The band’s original members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The “first day” and “last day” of The Beatles can be understood in terms of their formation and breakup: John Lennon Paul McCartney George Harrison Ringo Starr “The First Day” of The…

funniest disney history facts i can think of atm

literally EVERYBODY thought the lion king was gonna flop and pocahontas would be their greatest movie ever made. people begged to ditch lion king and work on pocahontas.

the reason robin hood ends so abruptly is that there was an actual ending planned and storyboarded but the crew spent too long arguing about everyone’s fursonas to finish animating it

madam mim was way less comedic in the original book but because her character was too similar to maleficent (who was in their latest film at the time), the sword and the stone crew decided to differentiate her by making her fucking hilarious

when making a goofy movie, jeffrey katzenberg (studio chairman at the time) told bill farmer to give goofy “a normal voice.” farmer, who had been voicing goofy for eight years at that point, including in the goof troop show that a goofy movie was a sequel to, was very confused. after making an attempt they decided to scrap that note completely.

as of march 2023, farmer is still voicing goofy, and tony anselmo has been voicing donald since 1986. the 2017 reboot of ducktales, which was slated as “wanting to do for donald what goofy movie did for goofy,” featured both actors as those characters; they had also been doing the voices for the original ducktales and goof troop/goofy movie. all the times goofy and donald interact in the 2017 ducktales however, donald was voiced by guest star don cheadle as a joke

current voice of mickey mouse bret iwan has stated that he has attempted to play kingdom hearts and did not do well

disneyland’s current world of color halloween overlay features a plot that is basically “the disney villains simultaneously adopt a goth kid” and i love it

people will make jokes about “well math says that the beast would’ve been 11 when he was cursed” well that was actually the original intent, but a flashback scene of baby beast was scrapped because he looked “too much like eddie munster”

when disney sent a representative to pixar to check on toy story production, she was like “this is all great! what style of music are you thinking” and they were like “for what” “for the songs” “we uh. we weren’t gonna have. any songs” and she went dead silent and then went “i have to make a call” and left the room

saludos amigos and the three caballeros were made as ww2 propaganda. the government commissioned disney to make movies to make latin america like them so that they wouldnt side with the nazis and provide them an in to invade, and latin america really liked donald duck so

saludos amigos was apparently the first time many usamericans realized that latin american people were like. people. film historian alfred charles richard jr said that the film “did more to cement a community of interest between peoples of the americas in a few months than the state department had in fifty years”

while latin america generally liked both films, chilean cartoonist rené rios boettiger fucking hated the chilean segment of saludos amigos, seeing the main character of pedro the plane as a weakass bitch, so in response he created condorito, the most popular comic character in all of latin america

disney wanted to adapt ts eliot’s old possum’s book of practical cats. his widow adamantly refused, and then sold the rights to andrew lloyd webber bc he wanted to make it sexy and she said “tom would’ve liked that”

in case you haven’t seen the defunctland, walt disney wanted epcot to be a futuristic utopia where he was basically the dictator. then he died so they just made it another theme park

speaking of defunctland the first defunctland video was on disneyworld’s alien attraction and please watch it. please it’s so funny

after the huge failure of the black cauldron disney was going to shut down its animation department. the department tried to convince them to keep them alive by showing them the one scene they had finished for the next movie– the mouse burlesque from the great mouse detective. it worked

the only attraction the black cauldron ever got was in tokyo disneyland where they put a tour under cinderella’s castle where everyone had to escape the disney villains trying to kill them, only to end at the horned king and the cauldron, who would try to sacrifice them to satan. this tour was popular but was closed in the early 2000s as the tunnels didn’t fit earthquake regulations and i want it in disneyworld so bad

walt disney once referred to his unionizing workers, led by goofy’s creator art babbitt, as “commie sons of bitches,” and i want a mickey build-a-bear that calls me a commie son-of-a-bitch whenever i squeeze its paw
