10 songs / 10 people
tagged by @stobinesque ! yay music. also decided to add a lil comment about each song so enjoy
1. The Ballad of Eddie Jabuley by Hotel Ugly
this song is so, like... WAVY idk how else to describe it. it's great though. the bit of them singing 'scheming on my love' gets stuck in my head whenever i listen to this song.
2. Hypnosis by Raveena
this song is soooo gentle and ethereal. only lyric to the whole song is 'let it all go', it's on my anxiety playlist for calming
3. Introvert by Rich Brian (featuring Joji)
one of those songs that you're like oo fun until you listen to the lyrics and you're like oh, it's kind of depressing?
4. Lose It by Oh Wonder
i FUCKING love oh wonder. i remember when this album came out and they released on song a month until the whole album was out. so so so life changing for teenage me. their music can only be described as freeing.
5. XTRA by Duckwrth
an xtra uugly mixtape is such a movie soundtrack album? i remember listening to it for the first time and picturing all these movie scenes that could fit the songs. anyway this one isn't my favourite on the album (michuul. is my favourite), but it's still great.
7. Stacy's Mom by Fountains Of Wayne
i don't think i even need to say anything about this one. iconic. timeless. incredible.
8. Change Your Mind by Steven Universe and Zach Callison
owie this was rude of spotify to put this one in there. what is it about songs from projects rebecca sugar is a part of that just tears my heart out every time?
9. Paradise by BTS
this is from my favourite album by BTS. the whole album sounds so dreamy and this song is no exception.
10. With Any Luck by Stanley and Ryan Gebhardt
this song has the same vibes as the album twenty twenty by djo, which is what made me love it so much. i love that sound so much.
okay the end i hope you enjoyed my unsolicited commentary on this one LMAOOOO. no pressure tags to as many mutuals as i can think of, sorry if you've already done this! @artaxlivs @sentient-trash @perseus-notjackson @hellion-child @xenon-demon @space-invading-pigeon @italiansteebie @beep-beep-robin @songbvrd @spectrum-spectre

What bothers me so much is like. Yeah. Don’t make fun of his looks, example like specific features but like whyy does it always go so defensive when it’s the people effected by xyz’s action even dare to make a joke. Like a white person could and have probably made jokes about dream and they don’t get shit. A minority makes a joke and they get bombarded, it’s always always only caring about the people at the top and never ever people who have been hurt. And like sure, he’s changed probably a lot. But people were still hurt by his actions and he doesn’t need defending when he’s probably just fine with his friends. Like fuck offf. Idgaf about dream it’s not tmmy place really to decide how anyone feels about him. But repeated sympathy to him and others only given out when it’s people who have been hurt say something?? idk if this makes sense it’s just annoying and hypocritical. A minority who makes fun of dream is allowed to bc he’s fucking stupid and his actions will never go away from him and if he wants to actually change he has to suck it up and deal with it.
Tumblr media
Anon idk how to tell u but shame him for his appearances wont actually help minorities.ur making criticism seem petty and fueled by unreasonable hate. like u have reasons to make fun of dream and hate him but its his actions not appearance. Ppl can't change how they naturally look ur just making fun of someone for something they have no control over, Literally just go after the vast numbers of bad shit he did that he DID have control over if you wanna take a proper blow at him
ur not actually talking abt the stuff he did or boosting their voices or helping us at all. like ur nor actually talking abt the numerous antiblavck stuff he did, ur ust being a dick and changing the conversation to "i should be allowed to call him uugly bc hes bad" instead of actually talking abt why and how hes bad and his actions
like ppl love to paint shit as ppl shit him for no reason hes a victim and are mean to him. and u go actually shit on him bc ???? he has a face????
focus on the stuff the actually matters that is the bigoted shit he did instead of of ignoring them and trying to change the focus of the conversation, just like his defenders do

It always confuses and distresses me when people creep on me. Like I’m UUGLY, when are you looking at/talking to me that way? Today it was some rando at the Office Depot (I was trying to buy envelopes), he kept talking to me while I was in line and got offended when I didn’t want to chitchat with him. Sorry dude, you’re gross and I just wanna get back to the store and finish my day.
You’re obvi not ugly but yeah dude can fuck off if you’re not here for it

Mahalia

Based in Birmingham, England, Mahalia is an alternative R&B/soul singer-songwriter who is influenced by Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. Mahalia started her creative journey as a preteen, writing songs and playing the guitar. In 2016, she released her debut album Diary of Me on Asylum Records UK.

Blac Rabbit
Tumblr media
Photo Credit: Angel Boyd
Let me introduce you to the psychedelic rock band, Blac Rabbit. Along the lines of California surfer/beach rock bands, these guys root themselves in groovy guitar lines and echoing melodies. Formed by twin brothers Amiri and Rahiem Taylor, the band is heavily influenced by The Beatles, Tame Impala, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, and many more. As the Taylor’s dominate on guitar and vocals, their friends have joined them to make a four-piece live band with Patrick Jones on drums, and Josh Lugo on bass. In 2017, the band released a self-titled EP.
youtube
Lion Babe
Tumblr media
Lion Babe is the very depiction of its name, with huge hair and an even bigger voice. Jillian Hervey is the vocalist of Lion Babe and accompanying her is producer Lucas Goodman. This duo found each other in New York City at a college party. Taking a funky retro spin of R&B, they are continuing to fuse generations of music together. In 2016, they came out with Begin, a full-length that features Childish Gambino.
youtube
Nova Twins
Tumblr media
Talk about rebels -- this punk rock duo is dominating the scene with their aggressive guitar lines and strong raspy voices. The Nova Twins – EP arrived on the scene in 2016, breaking away from the stereotype of black female artists singing soul and R&B. Georgia South plays the bass guitar, while Amy Love belts her voice through the speakers, bringing the Nova Twin experience to the listeners’ ears. South and Love are influenced by power houses like Missy Elliot, Betty Davis, Stevie Wonder, and Jack White. 
youtube
Fantastic Negrito
Tumblr media
Fantastic Negrito brings a dynamic grit to soul music. Xavier Dphrepaulezz fuses blues, rock and funk all together to tell stories of battles, tragedies and redemption. After a severe car accident, he moved back to his hometown of Oakland. After the birth of his son, he returned to his passion: performing a soulful hybrid of R&B and rock. The name Fantastic Negrito is a representation of Xavier’s rebirth in his musical career. 
youtube
Denzel Curry
Tumblr media
Born to Bahamian and Native American parents near Miami, Denzel Curry began writing poetry in elementary school, while battle rapping in a local Boys & Girls Club. The natural flow of his lyricism and the intenseness of his voice derive from his influences 2PAC and Buju Banton. His 2016 album Imperial features artists like Rick Ross and Joey Bada$$, adding to his already impressive traction in the rap community. Curry continues to gain momentum with recent singles “Percs,” “Uh huh,” and “Sumo.” 
youtube
Yuna
Tumblr media
Malaysian pop vocalist and guitarist, Yuna was born in Kedah, starting her creative journey at the age of 14. While attending law school, she realized her need for a creative outlet and started performing. Gaining attention by posting her music on MySpace, she signed to the Fader Label in 2011. In 2012, she debuted at festivals like Lollapalooza, while having hit singles produced by Pharrell Williams. Her latest full-length album, Chapters, featured Usher and Jhene Aiko. Yuna’s music is soulful and heartfelt, resembling her influences Lauryn Hill, Bjork, and Aaliyah. 
youtube
Smino
Tumblr media
Smino is not new to Ones To Watch, but we will never get tired of featuring him. He is a rapper and multi-instrumentalist from St. Louis, Missouri, who later transplanted to Chicago to contribute to the rising music scene there. Most of Smino’s releases are in collaboration with the Zero Fatigue collective, a conglomerate made of Smino, producer Monte Booker, and vocalist Ravyn Lenae. After his debut album, blkswn, he released several entertaining singles like “Anita” and “New Coupe, Who Dis?” featuring Mick Jenkins. Get ready to dance when Smino takes the stage at AFROPUNK.
youtube
Jamila Woods
Tumblr media
Jamila Woods’ voice is as pure as the summer days are long. Not just a vocalist, she participates in activism, poetry, and songwriting inspired by Toni Morrison, Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar. Early in her career, she signed to Chicago’s Closed Sessions label as a solo artist, releasing her debut album HEAVN. Woods has been featured on multiple Chance The Rapper tracks such as “Sunday Candy” and “Blessings.” 
youtube
DUCKWRTH
Tumblr media
DUCKWRTH is another Ones To Watch featured artist that is always exciting to keep up with. His first LP was the critically-acclaimed 2016 I’M UUGLY. An XTRA UUGLY Mixtape released just a year later, fusing together rock, hip-hop, funk and soul. Introducing not just a certain masculinity but also a unique femininity to his music, DUCKWRTH is able to show his vivacious and free-spirited soul.

Trump Santa make Christmas Great Again Uugly sweater
just ban all unvaccinated people from being able to attend schools simple its already legal to discriminate based on who has or does not have it so lets go all out. We've known since the start of the pandemic that like most of its predecessors it would be with us for 2-3 years. So any restrictions should be the kind that could be sustained for 2-3 years. Wearing a little mask, working from home if you can, and adding extra safety measures to international travel and large indoor events? Fine. Closing schools, businesses, and stopping people seeing their families? Insanity. It's taken a long time for the penny to drop for some people: this is not a few weeks or a few months, it's a long slog. Our restrictions should reflect what we're prepared to tolerate long term.

What 2019 release surprised you the most?
Blood drips from Jared Lee’s crown, rhythmically staining his carpet red to the opener of Duckwrth’s 2019 EP, THE FALLING MAN. The almost-double-bass beat intro to BOW conjures an aura of untouchable but nonetheless heavily guarded opulence—a nervous, dark energy when juxtaposed with the lighthearted pop of his previous release, an XTRA UUGLY Mixtape. 
The tracklist of the EP stacks grandeur onto itself in an already-precarious heap, layered heavy beats and synthesized strings amplifying the unshakeable anxiety that comes with building a legacy for oneself in the oversaturated world of modern hip-hop. Duckwrth rejects the idea of worshipping the artists that precede him in BOW’s neck-snapping beat switch: “Worship what you advertise[...]/ Fuck that/ [...]You ain’t no god,” he tells his subject, shutting down the gloat of modern musical legends as little more than vain attempts for an extra moment in the spotlight. He continues to amplify his unease with fame throughout the EP; this deconstruction of idolatry permeates its lyricism, resurfacing on nearly every track. Duckwrth knows the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and he’s nothing if not unsettlingly aware of the size of the shoes his newfound fame has dressed him in. “There's no peace in the garden,” he reflects on A WILDFIRE, unable to revel in his successes, instead overwhelmed with worry about falling from the throne upon which they rest.
Despite the all-consuming struggle of perfecting an image that will outlast his life, Duckwrth’s breaks to ruminate on the impossibility of finding real love and acceptance in a modern age grounds THE FALLING MAN in inescapable humanity. From reflecting on a rocky relationship on LOVE IS LIKE A MOSHPIT to reclaiming a slur on KING KING, regal grace cloaks his unpacking of the struggles of being a queer black man in hip-hop into universally understood experiences. 
Duckwrth’s anxiety to build just the right legacy for himself while searching for a place in the world as a queer artist is an incredibly complex inner chaos to articulate, much less through a genre so frequently forced to co-opt itself for commercialization. The leap from easily-marketed, dance-party worthy bops in his previous work to the dark eloquence of scrambling to the top demands impossible height, but Duckwrth clears it with ease—who better to than someone with such mastery of the mechanics of illusion? Between its ambitious production value and blend of traditional and experimental hip-hop lyricisms, THE FALLING MAN is the work of royal hands.

Get Uugly
To: @fromthe-seoul - Merry Christmas!!!
M for mature content
“Oh wow, you are so cold.”  Whatever answer you have is muffled into your boyfriend’s shirt, but the shiver that vibrates against Namjoon’s chest is enough of an answer. It’s a cold, dark, and rainy day conveniently placed under the umbrella of Christmas holidays, so neither of you need to go to work.  A perfect excuse to lay in bed cuddling. Both of you have a marathon of Christmas movies queued up one after the other, a little treat for his princess Lauren, Namjoon said.  But you’re not watching the movie. Instead, you’ve got your head against his chest, pulling on his hoodie and shivering. Taking matters into his own hands, quite literally,  Namjoon attempts to rub heat into your arms and back.  It’s lovely and comforting, how he traces stars into your skin, but it does nothing to chase away the cold seated in your bones. So you flip yourself around and shuffle till your back is against his and shove his arm under your own. Namjoon is laughing, if little Lauren wanted to be the little spoon she could have just asked, but instead of vocalizing the thought he opts for pulling you tighter against his chest.  There needs to be a certain state of relaxation for one to get a boner, and the boner that Namjoon has is a mindless one, just cosiness and warmth that pulls him into a subtle arousal. Your boyfriend is so captivated by the scent of your hair, the dip in your hips on his arm that slings over you, and the rhythm to the rise and falls of your breaths. That is until you wiggle backwards. Whilst Namjoon had been arguably not-so-conscious of the increased blood flow to his “region”, he is fuckin’ aware of that now. There’s a surge of blood that shoots right into his groin, leaving him a little light headed. But you don’t need to know that, everything is perfect (aside from the blue balls that he is most definitely going to get) and he is not about to ruin this moment. Maybe if he just tactfully pries his hips away from you… You’re comfortable underneath the covers, in the cusp of warmth. Suddenly you feel your personal human heater inch slowly and unfairly away from you. Nope, no way you’re letting that happen. You make a forceful shift backwards… …right on Namjoon’s dick.  Shit shit shit, play it off Namjoon, play it off. Maybe he should just lay on his back and pull your head to his chest instead. Nope, that’ll create a visible tent in the blankets.  What Namjoon doesn’t expect is the way you sensually smush your butt on his genitalia.  His dick feels so hot and heavy under your butt, inducing juices in your centre. It’s involuntary, the way you continue grinding down on him. But oh fuuuck, it feels so good.  You’re pushing your hands underneath his shirt, hazily soaking in the groves in his stomach, ripples of muscles that can’t be seen by the naked eye. A part of you is anxious, afraid even, that it’s too much, that he’ll pull away from you, but you’re clouded with desire and you let your hands make the decision. Your boyfriend tenses with your touch, and you can hear a sharp intake as you toy with the waistband of his jeans.  It’s a question, something you can’t quite manage to get out of your throat and Namjoon knows. But he needs to hear you say it, needs to make sure it’s the right question implied.  “Baby, are you okay with this?” Namjoon catches your hand in his own.  “Please, please can I touch you Namjoon?"  Your plea leaves him hot and breathless, whispering ‘fuck’ under his breath before giving a shaky exhale. "Yes, baby. Yes, you c-can.” Namjoon groans deep at the feeling of your hands fluttering over his clothed cock. For reasons he doesn’t fully understand it feels so, so much better than his own hand even over the jeans and it makes him buck forward into your palm. Your hand wraps around the length, pulling downwards. He wants you closer, wants to touch you so badly, so when you lean back into his chest, he immediately grabs your hips and noses your hair, inhaling.
“Can we please turn off your computer? I can’t do this with an 8 year old on the screen.” You're grimacing, pulling off of him. 
On cue, one of the big bad robbers lets out a large scream and tumbles down the stairs in a crash.
“Yep.” Namjoon, with all his strength, launches right to the screen with his long limbs and catches his foot right in the dip at the edge of the bed and falls off, planting a bruise right on his knee.
Once he turns back, he’s greeted by a tug on his shirt, causing him to tumble. Luckily, you and the bed are there to catch him, and you waste no time latching your mouth on his neck. You can’t leave any hickeys as much as you’re dying to, so you settle for dragging your lipstick over the expanse of his neck. You run your tongue, scraping your teeth where you would have otherwise left an imprint, and Namjoon growls at this. His girlfriend can’t bruise him, but Namjoon can most definitely do the opposite, to which he grants you exactly that swerving so fast that his mouth lands on the soft side under your ear and jaw and sucks. Your hands fly right to his hair and run though them, holding on them lightly enough so it doesn’t hurt but just enough so it’s like you’ve got something to grip on. Namjoon works away on your neck, marking his territory, whilst you let one of your hand travel back to his crotch. A firm squeeze has him biting down on your collarbone, and you repay him by pressing the heel of your palm further on his cock. Suddenly his dick twitches right at the jeans and you can’t take it any more, pulling away from his touch to his erection from the confines of his jeans.
Now that his dick has expanded, it is inexplicably more difficult to get his skinny jeans off. You’re pulling his zipper down tentatively, afraid it’s going to snag over his cock, although it just makes him restless, bucking up to meet more friction. It takes restraint, and you can tell he’s trying whilst you’re popping the buttons off. You try and tug both his pants and his boxers in one motion. Of course it doesn’t work, nonetheless, Namjoon takes both sides of his jeans and slides them down so they crumple around his thighs. Letting his erection flop onto his stomach.
“Oh.” That’s a small gasp from your side.
It’s a worry Namjoon has at the back of his head, with his reputation that comes along with his job, fangirls guessing the size of his dick. Extremely high pornstar-like expectations which he definitely cannot fulfil.
“Yeah… It’s a bit…” Small? Not as thick? Disappointing? He doesn’t actually want to hear the end of the sentence, even though he doesn’t have to, doesn’t even get to the end of the sentence because you’ve got your lips on his right now and your hand wrapped around his dick.
It’s returned to a semi from his anxiousness, but he still sighs when you start tugging your loosely fitted fist up and down. Your movements are experienced and confident, getting the blood flowing right where it needs to be. A part of him wonders, out of curiosity, how many people you’ve done this with. However that’s your business, and he’s quick to pry himself out of the thought before it transforms into something bad.
“It’s just that I need to uh, prep for this first.” You say sheepishly.
What with the lack of experience your boyfriend doesn’t really understand your statement. Not until he catches your hand in your pants, that’s when he really really gets it.
The “Oh” that escapes him is as much of an indication causing you to smack your head right into his shoulder. Your hands have stopped whatever they’re doing to curl into his shirt, refusing to budge lest he sees the inferno on your cheeks.
“If that’s okay with you Namsy.”
“O-of course Lauren. Yeah, that’s completely okay with me.” Your boyfriend interjects with maybe a bit too much enthusiasm.
Wow, what a great reply Kim Namjoon. He winces and you laugh, good-natured and awkward, a device Namjoon usually uses to deflect tension. He overlaps your guffaw with his own and stays put standing at the edge of his bed whilst you shuffle backwards on your knees. You flop down onto the pillows hitching your hips up and pulling your sweats down, and it’s only then he reaches forward to lift your hips and tug them down. After tossing them to the side, he glances back to find you, with your top off and one hand in your undies.
Namjoon is too tall to be on the bed the way he is, even when he scoots forward he finds his calves somewhat dangling off the end. Still, it’s okay, it’s more than good when he places his hand on your hipbone. He traces his fingers along your hips then hooks them in the band of your underwear.
“You’re gonna help me slide my panties off?” You find your boyfriend sexy, you really do, but the way he looks at your cotton briefs like it was simultaneously the raunchiest lingerie and a 101 puzzle chastity belt makes you seriously question that predicament.
“Can we not bring up that song? I was eighteen when I wrote that okay.” When he had wayyyyy too much bravado and no idea about anything about the female anatomy.
Now, though Namjoon knows more than nothing, he knows enough to know that he knows close to nothing.
“Maybe I should dim the lights down, baby.”
Your retort has him irritated, yanking your panties down so hard that they scrape and tear off at one leg. The motion in and of itself is swift, but the jut of his chin and the furrow in his brows have you clenching your fingers and your jaw hanging over in a silent exhale. It takes a few seconds for him to actually register, and you soak in his frustration right into your core. When he does realize what he’s done though, a string of apologies tip over his tongue and you stutter through your own words.
“It’s fine! It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s… really hot, actually.”
Hot? An eyebrow quirks upwards and he doesn’t try to conceal the wicked grin that spreads across his face. And you positively blush right under his gaze, giving him exactly the fodder he needs, keep that cocky smirk. A couple memories bounce in his mind, when Jimin teased you about a lewd lyric that Namjoon wrote that couldn’t make the cut, that one time he found your maid costume and the look on your face, and oh god, he want to eat you out while you dust the table, have you under him, that pretty red and pink blooming on your face as you ride him in his studio with his hand on your mouth so you don’t make noises. However, it all dissipates when he turns his focus between your legs.
First, the scent hits him like a punch to the side of his head, smacking all common sense out of him. When his eyes come back into focus, he’s met with two digits pushing in and out the pretty pink of your pussy. Then these sounds, these fucking sound of your whimpers mixing with the sound of your wetness float into his ears in a song better than anything he’s written. Oh god, he can die a happy man right now.
“Joonie? You’re drooling.”
Right on cue, a fat droplet falls in globules onto your thigh. He kinds of wants to lick it off, then move his tongue over to taste your wetness, yet he doesn’t. He stays right there, dumbstruck while you slip your fingers in and out, faster. He doesn’t look up, but if he did, he would have noticed the fondness in your gaze.
“Baby, can I?” He can’t speak, can’t really articulate what he wants to say, what he wants to do.
“Huh?”
“Can I…”  Words die off on his tongue and morph into action.
Namjoon places the pads of his fingertips on your entrance and press into them, rubbing circles just to feel. Juices gush out almost immediately, and he takes that as a cue to spread your pussy lips and push his palm into them, letting his tip of his index finger tap gently at your clit. Your mouth spills out whimpers and whines as you lift your hips towards him. It makes his pride swell (and also his dick), and he realises he’s literally and figuratively got you in the palm of his hand. A++, 5 points to Gryffindor.
“Nammms, ah shit, please stop teasing me.” You whine, thrusting into his hand.
“But I like teasing you.” Namjoon quirks, even though he obliges in your request, because he likes making his girlfriend feel good more than he likes teasing you. Maybe later though, maybe when he knows better he can have you bent over his knee with your wetness dripping down your legs he’ll play with your slit and make you beg for him to push in. For now though, he’s happy to comply.
Your plea hitches in your throat when Namjoon slides between your folds and you shudder at the sensation of his fingers, so much larger and longer than yours reaching places where you couldn’t.
In some cases, no amount of textbooks (Wikipedia and Naver) or visual aids (it’s porn, and he watches pleeeeennnntttyyyy of that) can prepare you for the real thing and Namjoon is slightly taken aback by how soft and warm you feel, nearly sucking his fingers in. Better safe than sorry, he goes at an agonizingly slow pace in fear of hurting his precious girlfriend.
While your sweet, sweet loving boyfriend is not doing a bad job, it doesn’t get you where you need to be. You’ve gathered throughout knowing him, that he’s not that experienced, though that is not a problem at all. You can always teach him.
Namjoon’s a bit surprised when you take his fingers out, but he bites down his worries of inadequacy and lets you take charge. He lets you flip his hand over so his palm is facing the ceiling, inserts them back in, and start pushing his hands at the pace that you want. It doesn’t take any time for him to catch up, and he’s setting a good speed when he inserts another one.  
“Please please please please, Na-amjoon, please I want you in me.”
An evil, evil grin splits across his face as he utters his next words carefully.
“But princess, I am inside you.”
Oh, he knows, he knows what you mean. Still he takes his time relishing in the way you groan and pull your arm across your face. He pries your arm with a firm yet slow grip away from your face. Namjoon needs to know, needs to make sure that you really, actually want this.
“Use your words Lauren.”
“I wa–ah-ah-ant your cock. Please, Namjoon, please, I want your cock inside me. I want you close to me. I want you so much.”
Annnndddd then he remembers he doesn’t have a condom. He didn’t expect this, he honest to god didn’t expect Christmas cuddling to turn into Christmas sex at all, and he’s internally swearing at himself for throwing the condom back at Yoongi after Yoongi tossed them in his direction.
He tells you just that, and this time, you’re the one that springs out of bed and gets your shin knocked against the cupboard. Trying to ignore the pain, you pull out your box of sex stuff and hurry back to the bed. As you dump all the contents, your now shirtless boyfriend reaches to coo and rub at the injury.
Everything goes without a hitch from here, is a goddamn lie sold by movies when Namjoon has ripped the condom packet too hard and caused it to roll off the bed for a second time. It’s funny but not off putting, and you end up stroking him and working kisses on the expanse of his chest before rolling one on.
Legs open wide, you flop back down eagerly like a good girl. You watch with bated breath while waiting for Namjoon to move. What you’re not expecting is for your boyfriend to pull your bruised shin towards him and place a soft kiss over it. The moment is so loving that you very nearly catch yourself saying those three words that is always a bad idea to say during sex.   Finally he eases in, inch by tortuous inch until he’s completely engulfed by the tight heat of your cunt.
From the proximity, you can feel him shiver above you, barely able to keep himself up. And you’re bracing yourself with an internal chuckle for fear of the moment he’s going to collapse on you.
“Namsy? Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” he croaks, there’s beads of sweat that line his forehead, “it’s just that I’ve never…”
“Wait, Joonie, you’re a virgin?”
Namjoon takes a glance back down almost unbelievably where your bodies are connected.
“Not anymore apparently.”
The implication of his words don’t hit you at once. Namjoon chuckles, sending vibrations directly to your core and your giggles morph into a moan. But then it does, and your mouth moves before you can really register what you’re saying.
“Oh shitttttttttttttt. Ah I should have guessed.” 
Namjoon laughs, a short string of ha’s to mask his insecurities, however you know him long enough to see that it’s out of self deprecation. And you bring your hand out to catch him before he loses himself.
“Namjoon!” It’s almost startling, the way you shout at him even though he’s literally centimeters away from you, but it catches his attention and masks the sound of your heart beginning to rip apart.
“It’s like, I would have acted differently, like take care of you more…” You trail off in a whimper because you know that they’re going to have the opposite effect.
Namjoon visibly grimaces and really of all the the times you could have fucked up, now? Really? Get your shit together Lauren. Your brain trips and stumbles and falls over your words with too many emotions that all surround love, to which your throat cracks and lets though the words that ring the loudest.
“Namjoon, I don’t want perfect, I just want you.”
Namjoon, has one of these frightening looks taht are both hard and soft at the same time, holding so much emotion that if you reached out and touched his face they’d be vibrating on your hand. It’s something that means something and you can only wait with bated breath. There’s an animal like sound that claws at his chest and it burns into a flame that wraps around your head and claims you. He almost pulls out completely when he moves down to kiss you fully on the lips. Unhurried mellow brushes on your lips as they slowly turn into deep open mouthed kisses that have him growling inside his chest and you running your hands over his sides. You shift your hips in a way that has more of him inside you.
The height difference makes it difficult for him to kiss you, but he tries anyways. It’s nowhere close to perfect. Sometimes his lips catches the tip of your nose, sometimes your teeth graze the bottom of his chin, but it makes the both of you giggle.
You want your own release too, of course you can’t deny what your body wants. But it’s a thought that you easily slot in the back of your mind to focus on him. Obviously, there really isn’t that much you can do in missionary position, but he is substantially taller for you to have room to roll your hips up and down. So you do just that.
“Fuckin hell Lauren,” Namjoon pants, pulling way to look at you “You feel so fucking good, so hot, rolling your hips li-ike thatfor me."  
Your reaction to his words are just as unconscious as the words that flow from his mouth.  The way you squeeze your eyes shut and loll your head to the side with a low sob, is innate and unintentional. But this? Namjoon can’t ignore it if he tried. He doubles down on his words, drunkenly preening affectionate approvals and compliments as he fucks you.
Your gorgeous, gorgeous boyfriend who is trying not to choke on air, won’t stop praising you. He’s got one forearm resting on the side of your head and the other arm reaching downwards to rub your clit in circles.
Even though you reckon it’s not going to take him much to cum, still you ask him to tell you when he’s about to. His reply consists of a fist in your hair and a shaky whisper that he will, but he isn’t going to last much longer.
Maybe it’s your deep-seated desire to just please, maybe it’s your praise kink, or maybe it’s because despite the fact he’s kind of struggling to hold himself upright he still makes the effort to make you feel good; this stirs something in you, forcing you to redouble your efforts, clenching your core in a rhythm that makes his hips stutter.  
"O-oh fuck. Princess, I’m s-so close fuck.” A part of him wants to hold it, to bring his princess to release and then find his own. 
“P-Please,please, please cum inside me. Please Joonie, please cum inside me. I want you to cum inside me so badly.” It’s a bold, fruitless request when you can still feel the texture of rubber in you. Honestly it’s not really his cum filling up your pussy that you want right now, even though the very idea has you whimpering into his hold. It’s the thought of watching him fall apart above you that you need, even more than your own orgasm.  
“Mmmmy, my baby girl’s gonna maa-ake me cum.”
You don’t see him cum, you couldn’t anyways with the height difference and his head buried above you into the mattress. Yet you feel him cum, you feel his cock twitch and harden and his convulsions as he collapses on top of you. It’s so so much more when he whispers stray ‘I love yous’ and broken syllables that sound like your name, and you kiss all the skin you can reach as he fucks you through his orgasm.  
It’s not until you’re sure Namjoon has gone through the aftershocks that you ask him to move because your boyfriend is a very tall man and his chest is at your face and if he doesn’t move you might suffocate.  
Dutifully, you boyfriend quickly obliges. At the very least Namjoon attempts to, falling right back on you when he tries to push himself off. You end up pushing him to roll him onto his side, and you both burst into giggles for the millionth time today.
It’s lovely, looking at him with his front towards the ceiling and his head facing your, and you can’t help but scoot over, wanting to rest your head on his chest.
As soon as you reach you hand over, he pulls you in so that he’s sideways and almost towering over you. The dark lascivious eyes speaks volumes in itself but it doesn’t beat the dripping tone in which Namjoon asks.
“Does my princess want to cum?”
Your stomach is churning again in all the right ways and yet you’ve basically been on edge for most of this night, and you really want to. And the grip that his hands have on your jaw is dangerously close to your neck and it would be so easy, so fucking easy for him to choke you while he brings you to ecstasy. But Namjoon looks so tired and worn out, and he means so, so much more than sex so you just let the words find themselves again.
“If you want to. It’d be nice to cum, but I’m really just happy to rest with you if you’re tired. You came and that’s enough for me.”
The deliciously sinister gaze on your boyfriend’s face melts away into somethings so so soft and tender like he’s looking at heaven’s creation and nothing less. It is too much, and you feel so vulnerable, almost unworthy of such adoration. So you duck your head down to escape his stare. Namjoon’s hold on your face loosens as he tips your head upwards to look at him and 
“I am going to make my princess cum for me.” He says with his lips pressed to your forehead.
Namjoon brings his lips down to your mouth, catching the bottom lip between his teeth and pulling. His tongue just slides right against you when you feel his fingers pry at your cunt and slip right in. Because of fucking course, Kim Namjoon is fucking tall enough to do that. Tall enough to kiss you whilst fingering you silly.
“You’ve been so, so fucking good to me, I want you to cum for me, okay Lauren? Do whatever you need to princess. I’m gonna take care of you now.”
If he just knew more, he would have loved to reward you, spread your legs and put his mouth and make you cum just from him. He’s content with this though, watching you grind back on his hands and roll your clit between you fingers. Experimentally, he curls his fingers upwards to rub against your walls and you gasp, bucking into his hand and he is definitely going to do that again later. He’s trying to memorize every moment, from the contortions on your face, to the rhythm of your finger to the way you handle your clit. 
You cum from a combination of his fingers in your pussy, praises on his tongue and your hand on your clit. Even though it’s not the most intense orgasm you’ve ever had, it’s the one that makes you feel the most, has your heart hammering in song and his name and something that looks a lot like love.
————–
“Wait, Namjoon, I gotta go pee.”
“Do you have to? Right this second?” Your boyfriend whines, you did not expect him to be so clingy and cuddly after sex, yet so are you.
“No, but I’ve had a yeast infection before and it was one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced.”
On command, he releases you with a “Go.” causing you to laugh at his comically quick reaction.
“Oh by the way,” you start just as you grapple one of his shirts off the floor just to cover yourself a little, “guys can get bacteria related infections even after having sex with someone without STDs. Go after me okay?”
“Thanks mom."  "Oh god. Don’t call me mom. NEVER call me mom after sex.” The look you give him is absolutely horrified and you actually shudder.  "The Mommy and Daddy kink and calling someone mom and dad is TWO completely different things.“
"So you have a daddy kink?” Namjoon smirks, and you clam your stupid mouth shut with your beet red face and run to the toilet.
It’s a few minutes later when you’re curling over his side of your single bed and starting to shiver, waiting to crawl back into his arms.

Music drought recommendations I – Soulful rap and Neo-soul
So, the past few weeks I’ve had a fair share of acquaintances and friends share with me, that they’ve been in a bit of a musical drought recently, especially with the whole lockdown scenario, where a lot of musicians postponed their upcoming projects. I’ve been asked things like “Do you have any song or album recommendations like x”, “What should I listen to that sounds like x” and “I’ve not heard anything new lately, can you help out with some music recommendations?”. Truth be told, I’ve been on somewhat of a drought by my standards as well, as I’ve been rediscovering projects from the early 2010s I forgot I had listened to and found a few really underground artists. I’m talking less than 5k listens on a lot of their music.
I’ve helped out all of my friends who asked me about it and I figured since there’s a fair chance a lot of people are going through a similar drought, I might as well write a few posts with which I can help out anyone who’s looking for some new shit to listen to.
Tumblr media
The first post I’m writing will be about albums or artists than have a laid-back, soulful sound – if you like new Tyler, Anderson. Paak or even some of Brockhampton’s music, then this will be a piece with music recommendations which you might enjoy. I’ll be looking at some more commercial albums and also some more low-key projects, so that you can have music to share with your friends, as well as songs to jam to on the low-low. Obviously I recommend the artists I’m sharing’s whole discographies, but these albums in particular might be the right vibe for your tastes.
Mac Miller – The Divine Feminine You can’t talk about Anderson. Paak and not mention his feature in Mac Miller’s Dang! In general the Divine Feminine in its majority is an incredibly soulful and groovy album, combining lyrical ability with romantic and sexy production. The project puts you through the whole array of love-related emotions and leaves you with a feeling of nostalgia of all of your previous romantic encounters.
Tumblr media
Arin Ray – Platinum Fire Arin Ray’s debut album combines modern R&B with elements of funk and deep sexy saxophones with which the artist paints a setting of a 60s blues piano bar, in which everyone can’t help themselves to not dance. The record at some points builds up and explodes with soulful energy before again fading out to a more lax, vintage-feeling blues sound.
Knxwledge – 1988 Knxlwedge has been one of the best producers in the past decade when it comes to using and twisting soulful samples to paint a picture of nostalgia. The tape has a very warm energy surrounding it with the producer’s signature smoothness defining it as a typical “Knxwledge project”. What differs this record from a lot of similarly produced ones is Knxwledge’s approach to the human voice – the way he twists and pitches it to create emotions with it.
Tumblr media
Childish Major – Dirt Road Diamond Not a debut record, but another debut studio album, Childish Major’s music combines hip-hop with jazz in a very somber manner. Exploring the topics of lost love, falling for the wrong people and intimate downfalls from the outwardly appearance of a very posh-looking guy, Childish crafts a very honest and self-reflective record, painting a vivid picture of falling down and getting up again.
BJ The Chicago Kid - 1123 BJ has turned into a bit of a virtuoso of mixing modern neo-soul and R&B with vintage soul and funk. Creating a very relaxed and unbothered vibe for all of his projects, what makes him so different is the way he uses his voice to create a feeling: nonchalant, but emotionally engaged; zoned out, but in his feelings; humble and welcoming, but demanding attention. In 1123 the singer shows that you need not do anything else than be yourself.
Tumblr media
Noname – Room 25 I’ve talked about this album in the past, but I think it’s always deserving of being talked about to be fair. Noname’s a poet first and a rapper second and you can hear that on Room 25 – surrounded and often overwhelmed by jazz and neo-soul samples, Noname talks about the challenges and experiences of being a modern woman, as well as being a modern black woman. Very heavily focusing on telling the story of her life, sometimes it feels like she’s rambling to a friend, bordering on the annoying, but never actually annoying you, rather making herself more human and relatable.
Klassik – QUIET The most unknown record from these recommendations Klassik created a very retrospective neo-soul record in which he reflects on all of his previous actions in his life so far. The record’s general vibe is that of a person trying to find inner peace and accept himself for who he is, he just wants it all to be QUIET for a moment. The album is reminiscent of those late nights, where you’re by yourself at home, listening to music and wondering why you are where you are.
Tumblr media
Duckwrth – IM UUGLY Always a bit of an oddball in LA’s contemporary hip-hop scene, Duckwrth created an album which was a very creative twist on conscious rap. The record seemingly feels very incohesive, but at the same time fitting together well. The concept of the album being looking at all your flaws and accepting them with a smile or even, fittingly, with humor, the production on IM UUGLY is a mixed bag of jazzy, poppy, soulful, funky and even more typical hip-hop beats. Duckwrth has a lot of fun on the record, whilst still telling a relatable story and never appearing as too preachy, although there is a noticeable lack of polish in some songs.
If you find yourself liking some of the recommended projects, I’d also give a listen to records such as Ari Lennox’s Shea Butter Baby, Kota the Friends’s FOTO, Smino’s Blkswn and Overdoz’s 2008. Hopefully with all of this in mind, you won’t be feeling the need to ask your friends for any music recommendations any time soon!
