“where’d you go?

i thought we’d last forever.

where’d i go?

i was sinking through the leather.”

#joji #pills #in tongues #one time I had a dream that joji and i did a lot of crack and then robbed a bank #I don’t understand the meaning of such a dream because I’ve never done crack so realistically how am i meant to know it actually was crack #I don’t know what crack feels like #Don’t think George is the type to do crack either. DMT maybe but not crack #we didn’t successfully steal the money btw we were arrested #it’s sad because we were going to make a fuck off amount of yummy ramen and feed it to people in need #Fuck the government i just wanted to give Ricky the nice old man who gives me cigarettes a nice big bowl of miso ramen

Joji: A Transitions From a YouTube Superstar to a Respected Musician.

George Kusunoki Miller or more commonly known as Joji has had a pretty unique rise to fame. If you know the lore behind George Miller you would know he has had a couple of different personas throughout his career. Each being pretty different from one another, but similar in a way.

Filthy Frank was the first character he made up, which got really popular for his shock value and comedic insight. Filthy Frank constantly pushed the envelope on what was acceptable on YouTube and really was the first edgy youtuber. His content ranged from comedic insights on societal trends to mini skits that were sometimes hard to watch. In one of his more infamous videos he shaved one of his friends' head and used the hair to make a cake. Then he proceeded to eat the cake with other YouTubers Maxmoefoe and iDubbbz which induced vomiting. Many of his videos were pretty extreme and had a lot of people mad that he was allowed on the platform.

Pink Guy was the next character that he created, which was even more extreme than Filthy Frank. The character donned a pink jumpsuit and creepy facial expression. Pink Guy appeared in many of Filthy Franks videos, usually pranking people and just causing overall havoc. He also started a small trend back in 2013 called the Harlem Shake, which might be the most popular meme of all time. Like seriously the impact was massive, everybody from around the world was doing it from children to doctors to accountants.

There is a common trend between all of these characters and that's music. With every character that George creates, music has become increasingly more prominent in his content. It started with Filthy Frank where he occasionally made satirical songs about random things. One of my favorite songs was making fun of weeaboos, who are extremely cringy people who are obsessed with anime and Japanese culture. The character of Pink Guy marked a change in George’s focus from content creator to musician. He made an entire album around the character of Pink Guy called “Pink Season”, which was released back in 2017. The album was completely satirical and was designed to make people laugh. The album was actually well received and people enjoyed the idea behind it.

Shortly after the release of “Pink Season” George wanted to move in a different direction with his career. He no longer wanted to be a content creator on YouTube or do satirical music anymore. He wanted to pursue a serious career in music which would have no elements of comedy in it. This would be a tough task because his past persona’s were so extreme and socially unacceptable, it would be hard for people to see him any other way. Also, his fanbase was very dedicated and wasn't happy about him retiring the characters of Filthy Frank and Pink Guy. At this time YouTube was changing at a rapid pace, which meant controversial and edgy content was not being monetized as much. This wasn’t really a huge factor for George because he barely got monetized anyways. What was a huge contributing factor was the stress and loss of passion for making content. This stress exasperated a heart condition he had and made him step away for a while.

Joji is George’s last persona and stage name, this persona is the most representative of George as a person. Most of his songs are about failed relationships, love and his struggles with himself. Google defines his genre of music as a mix of R&B, lo-fi and trip hop, which is a pretty good description. I would also add that he definitely embodies the sad bio trope and he does it pretty well. He released his first album “In Tongues” which was released back in 2017. People were pleasantly surprised by his vocals and the overall production of the album. Honestly, I could take it or leave it, the album was good, but not great. His next album “Ballards 1” was his first studio album, which was released back in 2018. Personally, I think this might be his best album so far with songs such as “Test Drive”, “Attention”, “Yeah Right”, and “Slow Dancing in the Dark”. The album that rivals “Ballards 1’’ would be his next album “Nectar” which was released in 2020. When I first listened to the album, I was a little disappointed and thought it was a step down from “Ballards 1”. But after listening to the album again, it started to grow on me and I actually enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend songs such as “After Thought”, “Normal People”, and “Sanctuary” which is my favorite song on the album. His most recent album “Smithereens” which was just released this year in November, isn’t that good. To be completely transparent I haven’t listened to all the songs yet, but my first impressions aren't good. It’s possible that it could grow on me like “Nectar” did, but I don’t think it will. I feel like he’s doing the same thing he has done in his last albums, just not as good.

Overall George Kusunoki Miller is an extremely complex person with many different persona’s. He did something that no YouTuber has ever done, which is successfully transitioning from a content creator to a musician. He also created the most popular internet trend ever the Harlem Shake and was a pioneer of controversial content on YouTube. I don’t think people realize the risk he took in his change of career. First of all, he didn’t know if he could break away from the Filthy Frank and Pink Guy persona’s, since it was so embedded in him. He also didn’t have millions of dollars to fall back on since his content was barely monetized and no brands would associate with him. He could have used his fame to help launch his career, but many of his fans didn’t support the switch and actually were pretty mad about it. On top of that, many people were questioning his decision to become a musician and called him delusional. The one thing I think you should take away from this is that people don’t define you, you do.

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

Somebody on Twitter pointed out that almost all of the netflix Avatar show was filmed so that the focus of the action would be at the center, so it could be viewed vertically, like on tiktok

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

#LIKE FIIIIRE! HELLFIIIIIRE! THIS FIRE ON MY TONGUE!#I therefooooore requiiiire a new paste tooooo cleeaaan gums #It's not my fault! I'm not to blame! it is the Colgate brand and Crest who've set this flame!#it's not my fault‚ if in their plans‚ they made the toothpaste so much stronger than a maaaaaaannnnnn #protect me‚ oh grocers! don't let the menthol touch my lips‚ don't let its fire sear my mouth and gums!#PROVIDE ME WITH FLUORIDE‚ but not mixed with the fires of Hell‚ and I'll keep all my teeth for years to cooooommeeee #HELLFIRE #MINT FIRE #IS ALL THAT I CAN FIND!#I may be! requiired! to order paaaaste oooonline!

Simon forgets how strong he is

18+ MDNI - cw: bruising - ~700 words

just some Simon Riley NSFW brainrot ♥︎ - part 2-ish, and part 3-ish here!!

Simon forgets how to be gentle.

When he's at war, fighting and shooting and killing day and night, all he knows is hardness. Brutality. Ruthlessness. His hands and heart grow calloused and rough in his months away from you. Using his unfathomable strength to survive is what he grows used to, it becomes second nature.

But it's your softness he remembers, to keep himself sane. It's all he thinks about. Dreams of.

The way the flesh of your hips, your ass, your breasts, your belly, pillows so deliciously between his fingers when he squeezes his handful - so warm, so supple. The way your vanilla-balmed lips graze his scarred skin so tenderly, however undeserved your sweetness is.

And when he finally returns home, after months of missing, craving you - when you stand in the door, honey thighs bare by virtue of the black panties you wore just to torture him, soft tummy peeking out from under your crop-top - he just can't restrain himself.

You greet him with your sugary smile, stretching up on your toes to curl your loving arms around his neck - your gentle voice, music; "Si, ah! I'm so glad you're okay…"

The moment your velvet skin touches his, his shackles crumble. Like a beast starved, he clutches you. Mammoth arms curl around you, constricting, gripping you eagerly like you might be a dream; liable to turn to a memory, to smoke.

His avaricious embrace lifts your feet from the ground, though he doesn't mean to - he burrows his nose and mouth into the crook of your neck, lets the curls of your hair smother him and fill his chest with the faint scent of your fruity shampoo. Fights every urge to take a bite, like you're a ripe nectarine.

Growls into your skin, through his jaw; "I fuckin' missed you, love. Christ, you have no idea how much I missed you."

"I missed you too, baby…" you coo into his ear, even your breathing is tender - he can't take it.

So he ferries you immediately to the sitting room, scoops you up like you weigh nothing, lets you coil your buttery thighs around his waist as he sits you on his lap on the sofa.

His wide hands take their greedy handfuls of your body - of your waist, of your hips, of your thighs, of your ass. Finally indulging the impulses he had dreamed about for so long - the very image he had fucked his fist to more times than he could count while parted from you.

With his teeth on your shoulder, tongue laving your warm skin; "So fuckin' soft," he grumbles deeply, and urges, "pretty thing. So soft. Fuck, I missed you."

His cock is hasty to grow boulder-solid under his trousers, and he chastises himself - but you answer with a cloying giggle, grinding your mound against its rigidity as if to torment him.

"Mm, you did miss me," you tease, little brat.

Then in an instant, all he can think about is the softness of your syrupy pussy, the gumminess of the inside of your cunt as its walls caress and milk his cock like it was built just to fit him.

You make him fucking ravenous, so voraciously eager to have you that he doesn't even notice his hands turn to vices around your flesh - fingers burrowing so deeply into the cheek of your ass that he might break through the skin.

"Ah!" You yelp, "Ow - Simon - you're hurting me-"

Your squeak of pain is enough to immediately shatter him - so he rapidly lifts you off of him, protecting you from his impulse. Stands you on your feet so that you're no longer victim to his inability to control himself.

"Shit, I'm sorry-" he grunts under his breath, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's-" Your brows curl in worry, turning to look at where he had clawed you - and he sees the purple bruises where his hand had wrenched the flesh of your ass, the red lines where his fingernails had nearly punctured you. "Oh," you breathe at the sight, "…wow."

Drowning in visceral shame, he can barely bring himself to touch you again. But your soft hand caresses his hair, running through the sandy tresses - you, somehow, the one to comfort him.

"It's okay, baby, I know you didn't mean to," you purr fondly, and he leans forward to shamefully press as soft a kiss as he can into the bruise he gave you. Fucking monster.

"I'm sorry," he croaks into your skin, hoping his guilt will reverse his barbarity. "I just missed you."

"I know," you croon, turning to plant a loving kiss into his hair. "It's okay."

You guide him to lean back, mounting his lap again, letting your pelvis grind against the erection you were quick to reawaken.

His hands barely ghosting over your skin, he restrains himself, touches you carefully.

You whisper, into his stubbled cheek; "I'll show you how to be gentle again."
