heyy Alex!! I was wondering, since I know how much you love Anna Diop (I do too have her fancasted for an OC of mine).

How would you feel if she played Storm for the MCU since Titans is allegedly getting cancelled?

I’d be so happy and excited. Especially if she got her own movie because Anna deserves to be the star since she already is. I don’t know much about Storm other than what I’ve seen from people posting on here so I can’t comment on specifics. But I do think out of all the fan casts I’ve seen of Storm, Anna is my favorite. And yea that could be because I’m biased lmao However, this woman is insanely talented and her range is beautiful so I know she’d absolutely kill it.

also sorry for answering this so late 💞

What is an “avantizen”?

It’s kinda something I just created randomly from the word “Avant” lol. But my definition is—

A gifted creative person or a collective of creative individuals, blessed with the ability to create different or all forms of art; painting, film, music, storytelling, dance, fashion, etc.

The Misconception of Doja Cat (Controversy & Era Analysis)

Heyyoo, so this post is going to be a smaller version of a bigger analysis video I plan to make in the near future about Doja Cat’s Scarlet album. I’ll be sharing my thoughts when it comes to Doja Cat, her recent Scarlet era, the controversies that have followed, as well as how I think she could’ve been conceptualized this era.

There will be a video that comes along with this post some time in the future on my channel, so follow me on YouTube ≫ deViianceTV

In the meantime, let’s talk briefly about this Scarlet era. The themes, concept, and messaging + what I would’ve fixed if I was in the room with her

Scarlet is an album that thematically is about Doja creating this alter ego to be used as a way to lash out at her haters and people who wanted her to fit in a box that critics placed her in. A scarred starlet rebelling against the public eye and people’s perceptions of her.

The concept is a bloodied version of Doja’s alter ego, Scarlet, who symbolizes the bruised and broken version of her that is being reborn into someone confident, tapping into her inner creativity, esoteric intrigue, and embracing her natural beauty.

There are MANY things from this era that I would fix such as making this era a dynamic story of self-discovery through visual and sonic versatility. One example I would’ve loved is, if she had split this album into two separate pieces of art that bounce off one another in themes and symbolic representation. The first side of the album having dark horror Punk/Rave Rap elements, odes to video games and horror movies she likes. The other side having sultry R&B elements with a lighter tone of inner peace as she accepts her more melodic and jazz roots.

I don’t take Doja as much of a lyricist all the time. She has instances when she can be very witty with fun bars that have pop culture references, and double entendres, but she’s not overly lyrical in her songs. She should’ve taken more time on this project to better compile and write her songs with formatting structures and great analogies that have you think… instead, we essentially got her venting about how rich she is and how she was being attacked online. And then there’s the butter toast line which was just not good lol.

Honestly, another thing that ruined this era is the fact that there were too many controversies involving the time she dissed her fans, her romantic relationship with J Cyrus, and her self-identity issues that have plagued her career since she became mainstream. A lot of these things could’ve been handled better, had she not lashed out on social media, and showcased the cracks within her character. She is to blame for the many times she’s been canceled, by not growing and evolving or even holding herself accountable for her transgressions.

I may be overly critical of her, but that’s because I KNOW she can do so much better, than what she’s given us. I’m hopeful that the next era will be more developed, thought-out, and less drama-filled, focusing on just the music, with standalone videos. Doja IS meant a bonafide star, but Scarlet is a bloodstain on her discographic career… an aesthetically pleasing bloodstain, but still a bloodstain nonetheless.

Being in love in this generation can be tiresome and treacherous. It can be aggravating and also full of contentment. This audio details my views on love and my contradictory feelings towards it.

This has just been something I’ve been thinking about over the past few months. I’m sure there’s a ton of creatives out there that do have innovative and unique ideas, but I just really wonder is nostalgia content like remakes, reboots, and revivals all that we have now??

#devii’s posts #audio diaries #nostalgia #reboots #remakes #revivals #lack of originality #this isn’t to bash nostalgia content. i love nostalgia as much as everybody else #but we also need some original new and fresh ideas as well #it’s crazy how similar this is to what emma chamberlain was talking about in her podcast

“Honey, I’m homeee!!!” I say as I pull the key out of my front door look, walking into my skyrise loft apartment, alone.

Well, not technically alone. I have my Chartreux fur baby, Bleu, who’s tucked into a loaf, sitting on the ledge upstairs where my bed is. He gets up and prances down the stairs to greet me, as I take my shoes off, and sit them to the side by the front door.

I give Bleu a little scratch on his back, he curls his tail around my leg. Most cats don’t show affection in noticeable ways, but for as long as I’ve had Bleu, he’s always been playful and sweet with me. He’s my child, even though I didn’t give birth to him. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever possibly have kids of mine someday. The way this world is, and how the people of my generation are, it’s probably best I remain celibate, and never give my body to anyone who will not treasure or pacify it the way I do.

I walk upstairs and strip down to nothing but my underwear and tank top. I put on my favorite oversized crème colored hoodie, and slide my feet into my black Nike slides. I put my work clothes into the laundry hamper — probably won’t see them again for another week. I flop down on my bed to check my phone, swiping and scrolling from app to app. Having a phone is not that interesting when you think about it. Just a small electronic that we’re so codependent on, constantly searching for validation on social platforms, looking at so many discussions and debates happening, when in the grand scheme of things… they don’t even matter. Of course, as an artist myself I’d like to have my work adored and praised. Sadly, we live in a world that tosses its artists down the drain. We’re just merely sacks of blood and bones contained with creative ideas, only to be used for our intellect and discarded as soon as we aren’t needed anymore.

Even the thoughts of adulting grow tiresome, waking every day to live in a society that lives to work. Working in a land called ‘Dead Endia’, full of minimum wage positions, and I have barely found the time to create art or work on my passions. I oftentimes wonder, “Will I ever begin to live my dream life…?”

And now, after having such a nihilistic thought about how I view my place in the world of my passion — I think it’s time for a drink.

I plug my phone up to charge its 47% battery and open my music app to my favorite playlist for vibey relaxing music. The genre that gets me into the mood to unwind, is Japanese Jazz. The mellow vibrancies of harmonies of bass, saxophone, and light twinkles of a picturesque vision of smoking a cigarette on the balcony of a rainy cityscape… that’s how I would describe Japanese jazz. I plug in and connect my speakers to my phone, turn the volume up to 85%, and begin two-stepping my way off my balcony, and down my staircase. Snapping my fingers with a little twirl, I dance into my kitchen and open my fridge. My bottle of 2019 Gary Farrell Pinot Noir sits on the side door of my fridge, gazing at it with enticing lust, I grab it and fetch a wine glass from my cabinet.

I quickly rinse and dry my glass, I grab my bottle and twist the top off. Pouring half a glass full of wine, I sit the bottle down and close it back up. I pick up my glass, getting a whiff of the essence of my inner joy. I wouldn’t call myself an alcoholic, but just having a few glasses of wine every now and again isn’t all bad right? Besides, I think at this point in my life, this is the antidote to my sadness. With my glass firmly gripped in my hand, I walk to my light switch, turn off the lights in my kitchen, and walk over to my side door where my balcony is. As soon as I twist the doorknob, *BOOM* the sound of thunder radiates in the distance, and a streak of lightning illuminates the forecast, and like clockwork, the down pouring of rain begins. I decide not to step out into the impending storm, and just sit in my window seat, leg crossed over the other, I take a sip of my wine and smile I’m the most serene feeling I could feel.

Bleu scampers over to come to sit with me by the window, staring out into the distance as I enjoy the synchronized tubes of my music meeting the rain, enchanting my ears to an almost meditative state. Closing my eyes briefly, I imagine myself being on top of the tallest skyscraper possible, the skyscraper of one’s dreams. This building flashing an LED light shows all of my art being put op in full display for all to love and remember. And as my eyes are closed, I begin to feel something odd... Not to fly or fall, but for once, I want to feel an exhilarating feeling, feelings I had never felt before. Happiness, fearlessness, determination, with a twist of timidity. In my past, people doubted my successes in the past, and my future is filled with many uncertainties. But knowing that somewhere, someplace, my artistry could get me, where I can be viewed as someone of importance, inspiration, and success. I would be the tallest skyscraper in my imagination.

And with that, I open my eyes and turn my head over to pet Bleu who was sitting right beside me watching as the rain trickled down. As I am staring out of the window, imagining a life of success that I’ve always wanted. I swivel my wine around in the glass, staring into it as if it was a black hole from the deepest corners of space. I take another sip, tapping the glass with my middle finger, laying back ever so comfortably on my window seat. I say aloud to myself in the privacy of my corners.

“So, this is what true happiness feels like”

Fin.

Haven’t done one of these in a long time, so decided to take sometime to just vent about things going on in my life. Hopefully the ending of this year can turn around for all of us.

It’s okay to not be like the rest of society. Conforming just makes you another cog in the machine. Be a froot loop in a world of cheerios by embracing your inner abstracity.

What is the meaning of your account name?

The name of my page, ‘deViianceTV’ was inspired by my love of Deviantart when I was younger. I never created or posted art on there, but it was a site I frequented that led to my love of internet spaces to share art.

The other meaning comes from my real name, which means a fighter of wrongs/fighter for justice. Which all comes to play when we talk about what being a deviant means. The meaning of being a deviant is “departing from usual or accepted standards and behavior.”

Synonyms like eccentric, atypical, strange, non-conformist, individualist, misfit, weird, etc. all come to mind.

I would like to create stories that change the perception of how people view those that are different from others. Viewing people and concepts that are more nuanced than black & white, but instead exist within the multicolors of the spectrum.

Oftentimes, when you object or disrupt the social norm, you are outcasted for being different, and are sometimes persecuted for your flaws. Which we’re currently seeing on a daily basis with how many peoples rights are being taken away or the banning of queer safe spaces being outlawed in conservative states… all because people are so bigoted and against things they don’t take the time to understand or hate for the sake of people not conforming.

My platform will be used to embrace the flaws and abstract natures that people don’t take the time to understand or hide from the outside world.
