Black music is fugitive music. It often occupies the sound and space of escape, of running away, denying, rejecting, moving on, walking by.

“She's not trying to be a martyr to unreasonable levels of decency in the face of adversaries, nor is she aimlessly skipping into combativeness for attention. You can feel her deliberating, even about how to follow the advice of Sun Ra — to make a mistake and do something right. On the third track, "Balloons," there's some consensus that she does exactly this by collaborating with controversial rapper Jay Electronica. The song holds the album's swingingest hook and mourns the risk in advance. "Why everybody love a good sad song?" It's a ballad against ballads, and it makes sense that she hosts a tragic hero. "She's just another artist selling trauma to her fanbase." The offended might miss how meta this is, how invested in the impossible wish of rehabilitation. Electronica enters as Lazarus, a risen corpse, as self-aware as he is full of hubris and attack. Neither rapper comes to redeem the other but the foiling that ensues makes for one of the most gorgeous duets in recent memory. It's OK to be unapologetic, I want to say, and to refuse to negotiate trauma through hate, for the span of the song. This is a performance. It's Revolutionary Theater, in the sense Amiri Baraka, also a fount of controversy at times, declares in his poem "Black Art": "Put it on him, poem. Strip him naked to the world! ... Clean out the world for virtue and love, Let there be no love poems written until love can exist freely and cleanly." We can't expect a universe that comes into being through the black mirror to be coded for the sensibilities of white liberals and conformists. This is the prevailing controversy within our expectations of Black music, and especially hip-hop in this middle age: It's not considered offensive when it's denigrating Black life, but any other offenses are egregious.” - Harmony Holiday, Noname's 'Sundial' pursues a hip-hop revolution

You can only play what you can hear. You can only survive the music, the tone, that you can hear. The frequencies you don’t hear exist without you knowing it, prey on your obliviousness to them, and can undermine anyone who would pretend otherwise try and fake that access. - Harmony Holiday

Kisses

after Trolls: Holiday in Harmony

most kisses are initiated by poppy, so when branch gets to do it first it's an immediate 100% critical hit on poppy. branch needs to hype himself up internally because he gets flustered overthinking things too much. his success rate at initiating kisses is much higher when he's swept up in the moment!

So, I experienced some deju vu during this scene in Trolls Band Together:

John Dory grabs his backpack, says he's leaving (I'm done, YOLO, etc.), and then the last thing he says is "Goodbye Forever!", followed by Branch's distraught face, and the next thing Branch knows, all his brothers have left him and he never sees them again.

I was trying to figure out why that little snippet stuck with me, then it hit me:

Trolls Holiday in Harmony, when Branch is trying to figure out a gift for Poppy. He's worried about doing the wrong thing, disappointing her or freaking her out, and says "I CAN'T let that happen". He illustrates his point with Poppy packing a suitcase, and what does she say right before she runs off?

Really brings his abandonment issues into the light😢

I've seen a few comments of people being annoyed when Branch said to Poppy "aren't you going to leave me anyway", but they clearly don't understand how trauma affects people's mental and emotional state.

He knows Poppy loves him and doesn't actually believe she'd leave, but after a lifetime of being alone, even though he's happy and loved now, there's still that subconscious fear that he'll end up alone again. Poppy means everything to him, and he can't bear the thought of losing her too, especially as a result of something he's done (his grandma died to save him, and he believed his brothers leaving was his fault because he 'ruined everything' at the concert).

Sometimes this results in Branch trying to push Poppy away, which seems conflicting, yes, but again: trauma messes with your mind. He was already heartbroken and angry at his brothers, so he wasn't thinking clearly and blurted out his hidden main fear.

And when he says "everyone else [leaves me]" I hear "everyone in my life has left me so I must deserve to be alone, so you might as well leave me too."

And that's probably why Branch was so hesitant to be open with Poppy - 1. I might scare her away, and 2. why bother expressing my feelings to someone when I'll likely just lose them anyway. Plus he's still getting used to having someone to confide to in his life. Keeping emotions bottled up for years is a hard habit to get out of.

Black bodies and souls produce and internalize experience so that white citizens can devote themselves to consumption, leisure, ease, and the sweet lethal boredom of denial. The supreme commodity here is numbness. From its vantage Blackness is cannibalized and treated as evil, pain, sorrow, exegesis.
