in regard to “Bystander” and “Everything is Lovely” (post 1, my backstory)

i need to put a disclaimer here: first of all, unfortunately, i am in no way near as profound, subtle and educated a commentator as @potteresque-ire, so my thoughts on the topic of some examples of modern chinese lyrical poetry will be shallow, blunt and naïve

but writing is what i use to make sense from experience, so here i go, bravely and imperfectly

the backstory of encountering “Bystander” and “Everything is Lovely” for me is that some weeks before that I had finished watching The Untamed for the first time, read the books, and then watched some episodes again to appreciate the work of the scriptwriters and lin hai laoshi more.

what stood out for me was, first, how the theme of “confessions unfulfilled” in the movie is represented by the use of Wuji theme in every place where the characters felt love — and would have had a chance to say something to each other, but didn’t

second, the creative way of making some music magical (here we learn something good and useful from jin guangyao, worthy of his title): you put your cultivation energy in whatever passages you want to have impact, and don’t put it in the other ones that serve as camouflage

in my sociopolitical environment at the same time very strong restrictions were put on open support for queer people, and I have been thinking about silencing, stealing the voice, and other forms of oppression, and about the ways people always “fly” from being “trapped”, if we reference Gilles Deleuze here. I was thinking about the songs as such "lines of flight"

i did not know about the story of gg and dd at the time, so I had a “thematic conflict story development bunny” (…bite me in the ass…:)): what if irl their direct digital communication would be very much monitored, even privately, not to mention their public conversations? would they pull the “musical theme” card here? amongst other things?

i was somewhat off the mark there, i guess, but not off the mark where “public conversations” are concerned.

I did not know about the turtles then and the assumed communication between them two and the community, via the language of candies

so my first premise was “publicly, they may use the songs that they have a say in choosing, to communicate with each other, leaving gifts-that-keep-on-giving”.

“what permanent message do I want to leave in your playlist at this time?”

my second premise was “when they put heart, in a very special way, in what they sing, the singing sounds different than when they don’t do it to the same extent”.

I started with “Like the Sunshine”, which spoke to me in a very soothing way, as I know the experience of being in a long-distance relationship for years

then I found “Walking through the Coffee Shop/ The Only One I Love Is You” and “Made to Love”

then the “Bystander” and “Everything is Lovely” were released, and I could see the recurrent metaphors and images

I asked myself: “if it was poetic dialogue, what would be the questions these songs serve as answers to?” and went back into retracing the songline back in time, all the way to “Satisfied” (I am sure I have missed a lot of songs, though, so this project of re-creating a songline of these years is ongoing)

...the benefits of entering the fandom so late with the beginner's mind: there are already so many dots waiting to be connected :)

this is totally a fanfiction, clownery and brain rot :) as you know such things always are

(to be continued)

#yizhan #witnessing something precious #bjyxszd #how reconstructing an untold story transforms us?#we are made to love #poetic dialogue #bystander #like the sunshine #everything is lovely #the untamed #wuji #bxg #art connects the private and the generally shared #songline #singing this song together to the world

🎤🌈 — Just a random thought

but I think the reason why I can now accept and fully love the jukebox aspect of Trolls is because they fully embrace music into the story.

First movie kinda established that they sing and all BUT it’s the second movie is what fully made me believe that singing is part of them. World Tour was brilliant for expanding the world building with different trolls based on music genres. Beside it being just such a fun concept, it makes it so that music is literally part of their culture and species.

That’s why it feels more normal for me when they break into a song. It’s their #1 way of expression and living. They’re musically-based creatures.

By the third movie, now they’re just having fun with the whole idea of music by playing around with the idea of bands. And I love it.

They actually used the aspect of music to drive the lessons of their story. It’s been a while since I watched the first movie so I actually don’t remember what it was about but:

World Tour (2nd movie):

About accepting and celebrating all different types of culture and people = Used music genres.

Band Together (3rd movie):

About family and working together = Used music bands.

It works really well. So it makes me wonder what they could do for another possible movie? What other idea could they play around it? What if they don’t follow with another story based on music? Would it work?

But yeah that’s what I’m very excited and scare for if another movie were to come.

Cap's got a new voice claim! feat. a tiny bit of Sparrows n her's unchanged vc because 1. it's cute to hear them together and 2. I snorted. The vibes are so different

[songs: So Familiar by Jean Castel and Driving Myself Home by Rose Betts]

#rw #oc tag #oc: caper of euros #oc: three sparrows #philosophy sessions au #ramble time. kai ninyago as Capie of Rossie wasn't Bad but i've been working on him lately- like looking into his faults their causes their #-evolution and what role he's supposed to play beyond Row's death (esp. in Preacher's life (Euros manages to be terrifying for the kid))#n i came to the conclusion that he didn't sound Sharp enough. and bratty but like in a teenager boy band kind of way. oh he'd hate that-#-kinda music </3 fuckin european posh kid #the ''tragedy'' of 'Ros on here is that back when i was answerin questions with the chars 'Ros n 'Row were constantly together and that-#-didn't allow them to really show who they are because they bring out the best in each other. Sparrows is braver with him having her back-#-and he's not a rude fucker (one of the reasons i turned off asks is cuz i figured they weren't actually helpful. only stressed me out n-#-as result the world/character building became lackluster)#Euros is still a silly guy who's scared to hurt someone/thing physically! (his inspos are kai ninyago s0kka and kuzc0 so)#but ill be damned if i let any of my characters be *just* a silly guy that is fucking obnoxious #each of these fuckers is a psychological experiment. also sick shit: new 'Ros vc is french apparently :)#he can sing Zephyr songs in Her Tongue™... get it anime chin boy get that multilinguality

Look at me. Everybody look at me right now. They don't kiss they don't have sex they don't do anything inherently sexual or romantic in any way.

Y'know what they do to show affection?

They sing together.

Even with Hobie's terrible voice (he's so off key) there is no one in the world that Ansi would rather duet with than Hobie.

No matter where they are whether it's Ansi's apartment, Hobie's boat, or Aunt May's house, if the radio's playing and a song they both know comes on they're both about to be belting out the lyrics.

Ansi sings Hobie love ballads as gifts because he knows how much Hobie loves his singing voice. (And she honestly just loves to sing so much.)

Hobie snagged parts to put together a karaoke set up on his boat with a personalized mic for Ansi. (It's orange and it has her spider symbol on it.)

Singing is the one thing in Ansi's life that hasn't been exploited. It's not something that he wants to share with the world. But singing with Hobie puts him at ease. She gets to do something that she loves with someone who means everything to her. And nobody can take that away from her.

#yes they are the type of people to act out the lyrics as they sing #im writing this while listening to Can't Take My Eyes Off You #they're switching up who sings what lyric while staring deeply into each other eyes at the bridge #and then they both join together when singing the chorus 😭#insert the you're my world bro meme to that last paragraph #Ansi and her Bie #hobie x oc #Ansiniya Taratella #ansi taratella #my spidersona #spidersonas #spidersona #jay and the spiders #DOES ANYONE GET THE REFERENCE FROM THE LAST SENTENCE #IT'S FROM A SONG #no proofreading we die like men

a closeted 20 year old that comes from a conservative rural family falling in love with a openly gay 18 year old on spanish prime tv

#a bit of background:#this is operacion triunfo a spanish tv show about sing! there are 16 contestants and they have to sing every monday a song #so they live in like a school academy where they have each day classes related to music (and they also rehearsal the song the have to #perform the mondays)#okay and like they have 0 connection with the rest of the world (they have phones but with no internet) so they know nothing about #what’s happening outside #SO there’s a youtube channel where they show each day what these contestants are doing (like big brother but related to music)#so um u get really attached to them cause u see them 24h!!!#so one of this contestants is juanjo (the one with the 🧢) and comes from a rural village and his fam is a bit conservative so he never #speaks about his sexuality - all the opposite he’s a bit ashamed of what he is bc he’s now used to act like himself #and then there is martin who is 18 and openly gay and like super open about all this topic super comfortable with himself etc #so this show has been going on for 3 weeks now okay? and in the first week u could see something was going on between these two #but since juanjo is so ashamed of this he rejected every type of touch that came for martin #martin got all ☹️ and he kinda told his friends there that he was having something with juanjo and he wasn’t receptive #(WE WERE SCREAMING IN TWITTER)#well since that moment it has been a fucking rollercoaster but juanjo is now a chiller and they cuddle and flirt in from of everyone #(they even have showers together cause rip they have 0 intimacy)#okay but today has been!!!! PUNTO DE INFLEXIÓN #juanjo has fallen in love so deeply with martin that oh god he needs to be by his side all the time omgomg #and yeah this vid happened tonight while their friends were singing and all twitter cried

#juno speaks #there is so much wrong with that episode #but i like the songs the girls sang in it #as in cell block tango and shake it out #santincedes my favorite trio. santincedes my FAVORITES #sugar and brittany were just kind of there honestly it was really random they weren’t even singing #especially sugar. she was not paying attention to even the singing #Just sitting there 😭#god what was RM even doing in s3.#<- slightly unrelated. i mean to the sugar thing #anyway. ugh i love santincedes together and their voices are so good separately andddd They compliment e/o so well #LIKE WHY DID WE NOT GET MORE OF ALL 3 OF THEM #grhrhrhrhr.#and mercedes singing slower more somber songs 🤭🤭🤭 always always on the brain #mercedes reminds me of orchids actually i think #she is kind and talented and pretty. and that’s what orchids make me think of. and when she sings slow songs #it makes me think of an orchid being watered kind of. i don’t really know much about flowers themselves but i like orchids #sunflowers are my fave but you know hdbsvdhd orchids are my second fav #Ugh. ugh. we were robbed of not only so many great songs those 3 could’ve sang but also the BEST friendship duo the world’s ever seen #whatever ☹️#wish we got more troubletones in general actually too… and quinn and tina deserved to be there #maybe that’s why edge of glory is one of my faves #gleeposting

Song of the Day: January 27

"One More Time" by Daft Punk

#song of the day #more specifically it's the version of One More Time as played by the king of the techno-trolls in Trolls World Tour #I got kaylithographica to watch the two Trolls movies I already have with me so we can watch the new one next time #and find out wtf is going on with all the Trolls angst I'm seeing on my dash #I really do enjoy so much of the music in Trolls World Tour. very fun silly movie. good mashups. love to hear Kelly Clarkson sing country #song of the day easily could've been 'Mi Gente' by J. Balvin which plays for seconds in the middle of the movie but has such a damn hook #or it could've been 'I Fall to Pieces' by Patsy Cline (two lines of which are sung by my favorite character again for only seconds)#but it's One More Time that I'm still humming so here we are #unrelated to music or to Trolls: I've got most of my shit together now so hopefully tomorrow/Monday I'll get back to actually posting #here's hoping

paul matthews from tgwdlm is basically a genderbent mack from teen beach movie who got more beaten down by musicals and society

#tgwdlm #tbm #the guy who didn't like musicals #teen beach movie #oh and they're both bi #paul matthews #mack teen beach #would paul have hated musicals as much if he met met emma as a teenager and they lived on a pot farm together?#would mack have grown a disdain for musicals if she didn't date brady but they were shoved into her ears every waking moment postgrad #also like. paul watched moana. he knows the song. that is a FACT.#teen beach one is just a way more optimistic tgwdlm (standalone)#bc they're forced into the musical world #their world isn't forced to become a musical #there's a difference #also the can't stop singing/let it out PARALLELS

Enchanted is my favorite movie so I kind of already knew Disenchanted was never going to meet my standards, but bro omg they could have at least watched Enchanted a few times :/

#THEY DIDN'T GET IT THEY DIDN'T GET IT #Giselle loved reality BECAUSE IT WASN'T LIKE A FAIRY TALE BRO COME ON NOW #THATS WHY SHE FUCKING STAYED #She's literally fully assimilated into her humanity by the end of the original film did they not get that?#I REFUSE TO BELIEVE SHE WOULD MOVE TO SUBURBIA TO GO JOIN A NEIGHBORHOOD COMITEE AND BE A STAY AT HOME MOM #(women can want that life I know. but Giselle DIDN'T WANT THAT FOR HERSELF)#SHE HAD A WHOLE SUBPLOT OF HER REALIZING SHE DOESN'T WANT TO FIT INTO THE ROLES THE WORLD ASSIGNS HER #SHE WAS READING THE FEMINIST HISTORY BOOK SHE STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS SHE KILLED A DRAGON #Also I love Amy Adam's voice but Giselle should not have sang so much #Giselle stopped singing at a certain point in the original #which isn't to say I think Giselle stopped singing all together. I just think she learned there are inappropriate times to sing #There were other characters that could sing that I was hoping would sing more #and the songs in disenchanted. just. don't add anything to the story. it's like the movie has to stop in order to get their musical fix in #DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ANIMATION #IT WAS DISRESPECTFUL IS WHAT IT WAS #THE BEST PARTS OF THE MOVIE WERE THE COSTUMES AND THE ROBERT/GISELLE MOMENTS THEY WERE SO CUTE #okay I'm good for now but if i rant again later sorry

Got emotional over a video of Miguel singing to a photo of Gabriella, I'm gonna go throw up now

#it was the song that marcy and simon sing together #you know #is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world #it was a slow cover #made me cry almost instantly #i. fuck man. I'm gonna go take a long shower

Something deep in my bones tells me Captain Pike plays the acoustic guitar, or like, used to when he was younger but hasn’t in a while because he got so busy with Starfleet.

Like, maybe he doesn’t sing, but that he knows guitar chords. He just, gives me the vibe that he would. Just, specifically rusty but fond of the guitar don’t question it.

#songs that the hyades shall sing #not posting abt this in general bc its just not relevant how i feel about anything #but we watched the news this morning and i try very hard not to cry in front of dad because it ticks him off but i couldn't hold back #and its just. he did say he was sorry for not understanding my emotional response at first but the angrier he is at the state of the world #the less patience he has for human error in any way at all which makes it very hard to like. live together.#i am not feeling well.
