There are two kinds of rights at stake here: the rights to the master recordings of an artist’s work, and songwriting rights, known as publishing. One senior music publishing executive says their part of the business was ahead of the curve, explaining that publishing deals tend to work on exclusive licensing terms or retention periods. “Publishers pivoted from a rights-ownership business to the servicing of rights,” they say. Those retention periods are getting shorter, they add, down from about 25 years three decades ago to between 12 and 15 years today.

Message says he steers acts away from ownership-based contracts. “We have a default position that we won’t advise our artists to do life-of-copyright deals,” he says. “It’s not that we wouldn’t do them, but our strong advice would always be to come up with a licence arrangement of some description.”

This is the ideological underpinning of BMG and AWAL (Artists Without a Label), which is now under the ownership of Sony Music Entertainment. “The philosophy is flipping the relationship,” says Alistair Norbury, president of repertoire and marketing at BMG UK. “There had to be a fairer and more transparent way to work with the creative community.”

Acts on BMG’s roster – notably Kylie Minogue, Suede, Sigur Rós and Louis Tomlinson – are on licensing or assignment deals, so ownership of the recordings eventually reverts to them. “They want to be with a record label where they have creative control and ownership coming back to them at some point,” says Norbury.

AWAL sings from a similar hymn sheet. “AWAL emerged to help what we now call ‘independent artists’ to remain independent,” says Paul Hitchman, the company’s global COO. “Independent in the sense of owning their rights and retaining control over their career, but without having to compromise in terms of the expertise and support they can tap into, without having to compromise on the global reach and success that they can achieve.”

Norbury believes that, with more choices for acts, music companies have to repeatedly prove their worth and think about mutual gains rather than offering one-sided deals that are land grabs for all the rights. He says, “You want something successful in a long-term partnership rather than owning something that failed.”

In light of all this, the majors increasingly have to offer more flexible deal terms. They are also heavily investing in other artist and label services companies to gain a share of the boom in DIY and independent acts. Sony owns Awal and the Orchard. UMG has both Virgin Music Label & Artist Services and Ingrooves. Warner Music Group has Ada.

[Ed.: Louis Tomlinson’s licensing deal is with BMG. His publishing is through LT Publishing administered by Kobalt Music Group. This article implies that all rights for masters and publishing belong to Louis, and are licensed for a contracted period to BMG.]

Flynt tormenting his teammates with his cover of You Can Call Me Al. They got rotten drunk and Neon asked him if he plays the rusty trombone. Do not fuck with the only sober person you know! They're hung over and coming down off their bender, the last thing anyone fucking wants is him and his damned trumpet.

Flynt: you guys seem down. How bout some funky jazz!? *plays trumpet*

Neon: nooooo

Kobolt: *tries to drown his hearing in his cereal*

Ivori: Flynt! I swear to the brothers I will burn all your fedoras!fedora!

Me: oh hey, I want to see the rest of Team FNKI!

*checks the wiki

Me: ☹️

No because why am I seeing bootleg Sally Face and bleach blonde Raine Whispers? And how are these two supposed to be the dress meme while their fits are complete garbage?

Kobalt and Ivori have such bad fits which is why I had to redesign them-

Twins with the same dresses, just different colours and styles. Play on the meme when designing them.

also, bonus: heres some old art of him. i think the last .png i saved of him (not including random screenshots, but i did do that a LOT and forget to save pngs) dates back to 2019. my biggest notice personally is my drastic change in color use. kinda miss it!

Minor characters

I don't have much to say on these guys, some of them don't even appear in the main storyline. Regardless, they still live in my head and now you can get to know them.

CW: death, vampirism

Tri

Tri is Anzie and Ona's brother, one of the core members of Family. He's very social and tries to take care of anyone in trouble to the best of his abilities, including Kosha and Nee. After Anzie's disappearance he took on the role of Family's leader.

Pol

Pol is a human who was saved by Anzie as a teenager. He was ready to obey anything he said, not thinking about the reasoning at all. The same went for other members of Family, although to a lesser extent. He's a very quiet young man with an excellent physique, although with a very poor eyesight. He was content with being nothing more but Anzie's tool. After his disappearance Pol was devastated, switching to trying to please the rest of his family.

Ona

Ona is the third sibling in the initial Family. Unlike Tri, she doesn't like interacting with other people much but she has always cared about her brothers and accepted her role as one of the city's protectors.

Kobalt

Kobalt was a centaur considered the best blacksmith in the city. He broke a leg once but managed to forge a crutch for himself and continued working. A couple of years after accepting Nee as a part of his small family he was killed by a tekko before it could be dealt with.

Astrid

A very short woman living in Giant City. She uses her appearance to trick giants into thinking she's a lost pet child. After they take her home, she steals their valuables and sells them to whoever might be interested. She's very careful about who she targets which allowed her to become very successful at what she does. She hates the fact that she's often perceived as a child by other smalls as well, and is always ready to prove them wrong. She's friends with Krazukh and hates Yan for petty reasons.

Krazukh

A very tall humanoid. He cannot die because of the deal he made with Peer a long time ago. The terms of the deal essentially turned him into a vampire, but unlike Anzie, he only attacks giants and doesn't need that much blood to survive. He met Astrid when they both targeted the same giant and got interested in her lifestyle. They often hang out together in bars or just in the streets, smoking a cigarette or two and talking about the hardships of their lives.
