sometimes i open my drafts and scroll a bit and remember to my horror and embarrassment that i have some asks from literally 2 years ago half-baked and those people probably thought i ignored them 🧍‍♀️

#i’m so sorry guys #there’s this L ask that’s literally like #beautiful #from a whole year ago #half done #and to anyone who submitted an ask #and it hasn’t been replied to #there’s a 67% chance it’s boiling in my drafts #i apologize #so bad #oph.posts #oph.thoughts

Fandom will continue to suck until we can get large numbers of gay men intensely and passionately invested in femslash. Only then will the scene become bearable and good.

#half joking. i was just thinking about how 'lesbian who is into yaoi'' is a widely recognized phenomenon but the opposite isnt #surely something can be done about this. i want to see the gay guy fanyuri.

[bioethicists]

this is going to sound simplistic + i promise you it's not: stop following people whose entire schtick is being cruel or fighting with others online. even if the ppl deserve it! even if it's not a ~problematic~ cruelty! even if you agree with all of that blog's opinions!

it's one thing if someone snaps back when provoked or posts the occasional "get a load of this guy". nobody needs to play up respectability for people who haven't given them respect in return. but if someone's online identity centers around being needlessly mean for laughs + they're constantly seeking out socially acceptable, easy targets for petty cruelty, that's a red flag. there's a huge difference between not taking shit/cracking a joke + mocking others as your several-hours-a-day hobby.

especially if, when they are inevitably in the wrong + mocking someone mercilessly to their 50k followers over something petty goes south (shocking!), they become extremely defensive or block everyone or play the victim or dismiss it as "well, how was i supposed to know they were autistic? i'm autistic + i don't meow in public" or whatever.

this isn't a "well i knew all along" post bcuz nobody should be shamed for being in the dark about something like this but many of the popular bloggers who have later been exposed for serious harassment or abuse should not have shocked us. if someone's blog is 90% shit like "you should light yourself on fire because you watch x anime" or "look at this so-called lesbian bitch + her ugly fucking boyfriend at a kink convention- it's giving drowned rats", should it really shock you that they are also being cruel or abusive in less internet-acceptable ways? if they've already shown you that they get a such a thrill out of being vicious that they do it daily + are regularly rewarded with thousands of followers?

#it's so bad on other social media platforms too #like the number of tiktokkers whose fame is just being MEAN but in a funny way #towards ppl who have done nothing to deserve it but also are not like. oppressed groups #half the time it's ppl who i also personally dislike or dont relate to but don't deserve like. repeated violent harassment #like sure i also dislike marvel movies but it's far more embarassing to run a blog dedicated to mocking + suicide baiting random marvel fan

183: Freedom Family // Ayentsoo

Ayentsoo Freedom Family 1977, His Master's Voice

Freedom Family were a West African funk/Afrobeat band originally (?) formed in Kumasi, Ghana in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s as the Los Americanas, later known as the Plastic Jims. The future Freedom Family also had a significant run as the Heartbeats ’72, backing Sierra Leonean star Geraldo Pino and performing on Pino’s two excellent LPs Afro Soco Soul Live (1972) and Let’s Have a Party (1978). The eight-piece band lasted until the late ‘70s under the leadership of keyboardist/musical director Chief Kwame Frimpong and lead singer Albert Jones, making their bones playing grueling Dexedrine-fueled six-hour-a-night club residencies in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Liberia. That grind is of course why West African recordings from the era go so disproportionately hard—you had to be hot to keep the spot you had, smoking to move up, and on fire to find yourself in a studio laying down tracks. Freedom Family’s formative influences were American R&B acts like Sly Stone and James Brown, but in order to survive in the hyper-competitive club scene they mastered highlife and Afrobeat, and their own sound is an impressive fusion of the popular sounds of the day.

Originally released by EMI in the late ‘70s, their sole (?) LP Ayentsoo (Xhosa, trans. They Are Not) was reissued in 2013 as a collab between Brooklyn-based Academy LPs and Germany’s Voodoo Funk (c/f Mary Afi Usuah’s masterpiece Ekpenyong Abasi that I reviewed back in April), and both the pressing and booklet are first class. Voodoo Funk’s Frank Gossner was able to track down singer Albert Jones, and the liners tell the Family’s story as Jones remembers it in the first person. He’s not the most focused, and if he got laid after a show or got a hookup on some funky clothes you’re going to hear about it, but it catches the vibe of being there as part of the scene better than a music historian’s account would. Geraldo Pino in particular is vividly depicted as both an influential talent and a conniving manipulator—according to Jones he even arranged to have the band’s hotel rooms robbed when he caught wind of their plans to ditch him (while his own expensive clothes were merely soaked in water by the apparent wet bandits).

Unfortunately, Jones is a better raconteur than he was a singer, and his unimpressive vocal stylings are probably what held Freedom Family back from becoming true stars. He’s fine on the funkier numbers, where the band’s rhythmic prowess is enough to raise all ships, but on the ballads he’s exposed, his voice flat enough to be actively grating. Fortunately, Ayentsoo mostly sticks to the band’s strengths, and if you’re looking for more grooves from this time and place after you’ve hit the usual suspects, this one has some smokers.

IN ALL HONESTY, I AM SCARED TO HOPE, AND AS MUCH I WANT TO BE A HOPEFUL FOOL,

EVERYTIME I AM LET DOWN, BY MYSELF AND BY OTHERS, OR WHEN THINGS GO DOWNHILL AND WRONG

THE UNFULFILLED PROMISES AND DREAMS HAVE THEIR FUNERAL, EVERY NIGHT IN MY HEAD.

MY WISHES ARE BROKEN INTO PIECES

SOMETHING WEATHERS IN ME, MY BODY TURNS SOUR BURNING MY INSIDES

I USED TO THINK I AM STRONG , BUT I AIN'T, HONESTLY, I WANT TO BE WEAK

I WISH TO HAVE SOME REST, FROM THESE DAILY CHAOS

HOPE IS A CURSE FOR ME,

A CURSE WITH NO CURE, NOT YET

A WISHFUL DREAM COVERED IN THORNS

BUT OH WHAT WILL I NOT DO IN MY POWER

JUST TO BREATHE ONE MORE TIME , WITHOUT FEELING LIKE A CHORE

I WANT TO MAKE PROMISES AND FULFIL THEM TOO

I WANT TO BE GOOD TO ME AND OTHERS, A SAFE SPACE FOR MY LOVED ONES

WHAT WILL I NOT DO TO FEEL HAPPY AND HOPE AND LOVE,

SIMPLE WORDS, SIMPLE FEELINGS, YET SO SACRED AND HARD TO REACH

but as the story goes, all my power is broken again

just few words and actions, bring me down trembling

it would be easy if it was once or twice

but fighting same demons each day and each night

#HALF DONE #igtg will write it later

i trust we’re all mature enough now so can i just the say philza ace race incident? genuinely one of the funniest fucking things to ever come out of mcc. it’s up there it’s the mcc7 battle box incident. so many grown adults decided to ignore the actual track signals because of their immutable trust in philza minecraft and i think that’s beautiful

#icarus speaks #IT WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY #the fact that if it had been ANYONE else that made that mistake #probably no one else would’ve noticed and done the same #but since it was PHIL like half a dozen players marched into war behind him #genuinely fucking beautiful

2. Do you understand what you’ve done? (Please circle your answer.) a. I couldn't do anything b. I lost my balance c. I doomed us both

3. It's been god knows how long since you felt phantom hands on your neck and there is no one in sight. If you were soul-bound to him and both of you died at the same time then why are you still waiting in the void? Please answer clearly, in full sentences. (Not a correct answer：I just wanted to see him one more time).

4. Define two (2)： Fate | The feeling of his forehead against yours Curse | The moment you realise he isn't linked to you anymore

5. True or False： i. It was your fault. ii. You wish you had met him under different circumstances. iii. You can’t regret a single moment that you had him. iv. You would do it all over again if you could. v. It ended long before either of you said anything.

Ah mmmm well

You know how in mermaid stories, the mermaid is typically the dumber one? I present to you the "and they were both scientists" plot.

Basically the concept is that mermechs and regular mechs can't talk to each other. But luckily even if they speak different languages they still use the same math~

I discovered a bunch of simpatico mer-fics. So. I wanted to do something with this concept too haha. If some physicist happens to read this - feel free to laugh at me. I know nothing about science👍

I don’t know if I’ll continue this thing. Should I. Idk. It’s midnight I might be going crazy lol. I made that cover anyway bc I love making covers hehe

But spider. Spider centaur. Or spider mermaid #half of her body is humanoid and half is spider.
