VICTORIA MONÉT - "ON MY MAMA"

Your Fun Pop Factoid Of The Day: the uncredited vocals on will.i.am's "I Got It From My Mama" are by Kat Graham.

[7.65]

Nortey Dowuona: I TOUCHED A JAGUAR'S SWAG AND NOW I HAVE A TAIL: STORYTIME [9]

Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: The backstory for Victoria Monét's "On My Mama" may overpower the song one day: sat in the studio during COVID, battling postpartum depression, singing affirmations that she didn't yet believe. It's powerful, and now that it's a hit, it's the type of tale that pastors will add extra sizzle to, knowing it'll ring the congregation's bells. And yet, the song is slinkier and more pared-down than the built-in uplift would have you believe. Cheekier, too, zapped with tossed-off gags that are Monét's secret weapon: I always giggle at "[I] might be too fine to hit it from behi-yi-yi-yind". Ribald and heartwarming -- quite a combination. [8]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: The bassline's two-note filigrees are self-assured in their minimalist swerve -- effortless cool without lifting much more than a finger. "On My Mama" operates in this reserved mode for its entire runtime, capturing the righteous act of feeling yourself via Chalie Boy's "I Look Good." Ironically, the hook sounds constrained in this new context, trapped inside the hallowed gloss of triumphant brass. It's less thrilling when the instrumentation telegraphs that -- why let anything else explain that you're good enough? Still, this sleeked out take on Southern-rap braggadocio does find a moment of comparable excellence when Monét utters "sex game go stuUUupid." It isn't playful or horny, just domineering and cocksure; she doesn't sing that line for anyone but herself. [6]

Ian Mathers: Monét weaves so effortlessly and precisely among all the little bass pushes and gently peaking horns that it'd be easy to overlook how crucial her performance is here. But it is, and she nails the hell out of it. She rightfully mentions being deep in her bag, but this whole thing is also almost impossibly in several different kinds of pocket at once. [9]

Oliver Maier: Professional, fairly tedious, sounding so built for Tiny Desk that I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet. This would really benefit from some oomph, or at least some hi-hats. [4]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: The bass doesn't slap quite as hard as I want it to. But really, that's the only note I have here -- Ms. Monét is so self-assured here on this slab of funk, stringing together one-liners that lesser artists would be lucky to get one of like she's got an infinite supply. I always want extended versions of pop songs, but I especially want one here. [8]

Alfred Soto: Like a suite in a four-star hotel, everything's where it's supposed to be: the horn section, the bass line, and Victoria Monét's polished vocal. From Jamila Woods recording her own Avalon and Corinne Bailey Rae her own Sign 'o the Times on one disc to K Michelle reveling in tradition, 2023 was a wonderful year for female R&B artists: they sing their bodies eclectic. "I think we deserve it, right?" Monét asks rhetorically. [8]

Leah Isobel: "I just wanna live in a fantasy," Monét sings, her voice burnished gold. "I think we deserve it, right?" This song -- by design -- makes me remember 2000s R&B and pop, the era of Ciara and "Do It To It" and Usher's imperial phase, when the whole industry's center of gravity briefly shifted to Atlanta. The welding of hip-hop's stance and production with pop's melody created what felt, at the time, like the most impossibly cool music I had ever heard, both celebratory and strong. That trend passed, as all pop music trends do; as I left childhood, pop music became more nihilistically post-human. I like that stuff, too. But "On My Mama" triggers a specific memory button in which I remember a version of the world in which it seemed like people could keep pace, if you were tough enough. Monét brings a soft allure to that fantasy: it could be good. It could still be good. [8]

David Moore: There's been a scourge of millennial hip-hop worship that somehow takes some of the most joyous music ever produced and reduces it to the great gray blob of content, just execrable nostalgia-mining of the lowest order for almost every major rap and R&B hit between c. 2002 and 2007, so how refreshing is it to hear a pitch-perfect post-Aaliyah minimal R&B performance with the period-appropriate accoutrement to match: is that a real horn section? Chopped and screwed ad-libs? Oh my god, are those punchlines?? "I'm so deep in my bag like a grandma with a peppermint / they say ooh she smell good, that's because I'm heaven scent." Perfect. [9]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: "On My Mama" is sexy, swaggering, and most importantly, fun. Victoria Monét's glow-up from Ariana Grande sidekick to Grammy Award nominee is the exact type of thing everyone should have predicted on their 2023 bingo card. Extra point for making me smile with "I'm so deep in my bag/Like a grandma with a peppermint." [8]

Kayla Beardslee: "I'm so deep in my bag, like a grandma with a peppermint / They say, 'Oh she smell good,' that's just 'cause I'm heaven-scent" isn't actually the lyric of the year... or is it?? [9]

Katherine St Asaph: Cocaine-decor sumptuous to an almost surreal extent. Wish Monét hadn't crammed all her good lines into the second verse, though. [7]

Brad Shoup: Starts off luxe and slinky, a getting-ready ode that annexes the club before she walks through the door, similar to Kelly Rowland's "Like This". After the first chorus, she's thoroughly feeling herself, and the jokes and vocal elasticism put her in Post Malone territory. Not a bad thing! Peak Posty would've avoided the triumphant "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" horns (his loss), but probably wouldn't have bothered sampling Chalie Boy after a perfectly fine interpolation. Feels like padding. [7]

Alex Ostroff: Any song with even a passing resemblance to "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" is always going to hit almost every pleasure centre in my brain. [8]

Michelle Myers: Jaguar II is a phenomenal album, but I'm hard-pressed to pick a single track that demonstrates how sophisticated and immersive this record is when experienced in full. It's definitely not "On My Mama." [6]

Rachel Saywitz: "On My Mama" isn't Victoria Monét's best single, but it's unsurprising that it's the one that's garnered the most critical and commercial acclaim. There's a homely essence to its meandering horn lines and grounding low rumbles, like the human-shaped indent on your grandparents' old leather couch that looks like it's been there forever. Here, Monét eschews her honeyed voice to command in a deeper, wiser tone, as if relaying knowledge from her elders onto a new generation, and I'd absolutely love it if I didn't already know that Monét is capable of more wondrous and sexy R&B. And yet, listening to "On My Mama" still sounds like a bit of a triumph. The song, along with its success, seems like a testament to all the work Monét has put in to get to this moment: you can hear, for example, the trademarks of her writing that are more widely known in the voices of others, such in the Ariana-like playful tilt of its second verse. For those fans who've been with her for years, it's hard not to think of "On My Mama" as anything other than a long-anticipated greeting -- a toasty home on a chilly day, a sweet smile and open arms, the words, "welcome home." [7]

Aaron Bergstrom: Man, to tell the truuuuth, my opinion is irrelevant. [9]

Flashbacks to when toddler Rae was impatience and yeeted herself down a snow hill with no sled and my mother watched in horror screaming

And when I got to the bottom I just stayed there laying in the snow, basically buried in it and just waited until my mother and my Tio found me X)

And of course my mother was just beside herself cause her tiny child jumped off a hill and disappeared into the snow.

Idk it was pretty funny to me X)

(Mum right now is very annoyed remembering the story while I’m currently laughing and wheezing )

Comfortember Day 2: First Day

Decided to write some stuff for Comfortober this month for the Angmor universe. Most of it will be based of the ongoing RP between me and my partner Leo, but I figured it's great practice to get back into the swing of things.

Anyways, if you have any questions about the setting feel free to ask and I'll gladly tell you more. Most of it is shameless self indulgence.

CW: implied partial paralization, injuries but not graphically described. [if I missed anything please let me know so I can add it]

For just a moment Yael was convinced everything had just been a vivid nightmare when he opened his eyes. Sunlight was filtering through a crack of the curtains, dust particles lazily drifting around a spacious, unfamiliar bedroom. He tried to push himself off the mattress, briefly wondering why he was laying on his stomach. And then the pain kicked back in with an intensity that had his vision black out again for several seconds and gasp for air. His nerves felt like they were on fire, each heartbeat sending throbbing, sharp sensations down his spine.

"Don't move, don't move", a voice shushed him, Yael registering it's owner as Bask. He could only wince like a kicked dog in response. "I know, I was hoping you'd be asleep for longer. Breathe dove, it'll soothe in a moment." Yael let his eyes shut again, hissing through his breaths. Bask gently touched his arm before taking one of his hands between his own to hold it tightly. Yael let him.

It felt like an eternity until the searing pain ebbed off into a dull, uncomfortable sting. Bask remained at his side until Yael's eyes fluttered open again. Bask's eyes were full of concern and tears. Yael's throat refused to form words yet, so he slowly reached out to wipe them away, pulling his hands closer to kiss his knuckles. "You're still alive. You're still alive, I-" Basks voice broke off into a sob and Yael felt something inside him crack.

By the time Yael found enough strength to slowly sit up the sun was already starting to set again. Bask never left his bedside for long, carefully changing the covering and putting more ointment on his back every hour. It felt cold, but it did a good job at numbing the pain. He was grateful that his companion didn't push him to talk about it yet. It pained him to see Bask's features so heavy with worry and concern, instead of the radiant smile it usually held. 

"How did you find me?" Yael's voice was hoarse and raw, his throat still sore from the agonized screaming forced out of it the day before. "I think she was a Banshee. A woman grabbed my shoulders and told me I need to get into the forest immediately. So I got there as fast as I possibly could, and… well, there you were." Bask sat next to him after placing another sheet of thin fabric on his back to cover the deep gashes. 

Yael gave a low "mmhh" in return, but his gaze was spacing out as if he was staring right through the mirror on the door of the closet. There was Bask, with all the golden comforting light his aura radiated, the delicate iridescent wings and fluffy moth antennas on his head only he was able to still see. And then there was himself, and there was nothing.

No more light, no more wings, no more halo.

"I don't know how you survived… whatever happened exactly, but I'm beyond grateful you did. I don't think I could have beared losing you." Bask spoke quietly, pulling Yael back out of his thoughts for a moment. 

"I don't think I was supposed to survive either." Yael rubbed his face, questioning if that would have been the better outcome. He was useless without his powers. Normally even injuries this grave healed within days, a couple weeks at most. This would take him several months, or even years now, of painful waiting until his body recovered from the shock of the impact. He didn't let Bask in on the suspicion that something was wrong with his spine by how much he already struggled to feel something in or move his legs. Yael couldn't fight like this, and it was all he was good for. 

"Lay back down and get some more rest, I'll go make us something to eat. I'm sure you'll be back on your feet in no time. You always took great care of me, so now I'm gonna take great care of you." Bask got off the bed as he spoke, and flashed him a warm smile before turning around to leave the room. Yael pressed his lips together tightly and swore Bask would never find out he'd been the cause for his fall in the first place.

If he had just followed his protocol and stayed clear of him on the first day he'd probably still have his wings. Bask would be blissfully unaware of the empire looming over Yaels back, continuing his life as cheerful and fulfilled as always. And Yael wouldn't get distracted by his disarming kindness and simply follow his orders instead. 

He always thought everything that happened was out of good will. That yes, the methods sometimes were questionable, but it was for the greater good. The Kangjeon family took him off the streets and gave him the opportunity for a good life in exchange for loyalty. As it turned out one act of defiance was worth more than all the years he spent devoted to them. Suddenly it didn't matter anymore that Yael was one of their best assets and willing to get his hands dirty. He would've killed anyone to prove his loyalty.

Anyone but Bask.

They sat next to each other in silence and ate. Yael still felt nauseous, but knew it would get worse with an empty stomach. Bask was gently leaning against him, a quiet gesture of comfort. He was alive, and so was Bask. Maybe that was enough. 

"You'll have to glow for both of us from now on, sunshine."

[frogjazzhands]

okay so my headphones broke the other day and it was that painful kind when only one side breaks so you can still use the other side but you feel lost and imbalanced. anyway, so my spotify was on shuffle and the masterpiece that is Run Away With Me by Carly Rae Jepson came on and in that instant, the world was in slow motion and the cord fell into the perfect position and suddenly my broken headphone was resurrected and the world was in stereo and it was beautiful

The Ultimatum Final Thoughts- Spoilers Ahead

- Shanique is very immature, she’s not ready to be married and I can see why Randall is hesitant cuz she seems like she’d be a demanding and draining wife. He deserves better. Randall is a genuinely great, put together guy. 

-Zay has issues that he needs to address. He seems impossible to talk to so I completely get why Rae doesn’t feel comfortable opening up to him. He is no where near husband material yet. 

-Rae doesn’t know what she wants but it definitely isn’t marriage. Jake and Rae would be perfect together if she wasn’t afraid of commitment which she doesn’t even realize she clearly is!

-April is the nightmare ex-girlfriend every storytime is about. It’s hard to dislike her cuz she clearly loves very hard and has a quirky personality but she’s very emotionally manipulative in a very lowkey way and I can see why their relationship was chipping away at Jake over time. Using your relationship with his mom as emotional leverage? Lame. 

-Jake’s a good guy and the only reason he doesn’t read that way to some people is because of April’s emotional manipulation, he said it right at the reunion, she twisted it to be the narrative of Jake abandoning their perfect relationship for a fling, he dodged a bullet. “Why were you recording a girl twerk?” Well why did you go through his phone? Why did you make out with Colby?  

-Madlyn is a mess. She doesn’t love herself. That’s why she was constantly drunk, and she said it herself she craves external validation from men. She can do better than Colby but she isn’t a saint either. Colby trapped her with a baby, and she is def settling!!

-I can’t stand Colby. Alexis was right, he’s a douche. He rushed into the marriage because he knows he doesn’t deserve Madlyn,

-Nate and Lauren aren’t gonna end up together. Nate is full of shit and Lauren’s gonna really regret not choosing herself later on.

Comfortober day 5: Cuddles

CW: none, this one's just fluff

Characters: Louis and Nari

Got another prompt done, whoo! This one came quite easy, I love the dynamic between these two a lot. Nari belongs to my RP partner Leo.

Louis was drying his hair with a towel when he left the bathroom, dressed in comfortable sweatpants. Nari was still splayed out on the bed, eyes half closed as if he was about to fall asleep any moment now. "Alright, shower's yours. You can borrow some clothes from my closet, yours are still soaked", he informed and poked his thigh, earning a disapproving groan. 

"Can't, I'm too sore to move." Nari complained as he sat up to stretch his limbs, batting Louis hand away when he attempted to jab at his ribs.

"Alright, I'll carry you then", Louis snickered and tried to grab the other, Nari instantly fighting him off. "Fuck off, I can take care of myself." He protested and rolled over to slide off the other edge of the bed, Louis just laughing quietly to himself while watching him.

It was still pouring buckets outside, the rain still hadn't stopped over the whole afternoon. They originally just planned to get some studying done but were caught off guard by the sudden weather change and got completely soaked down to the skin the last ten minutes of the drive. It was fall, so the weather conditions should have been expected. Instead of studying they draped all the wet clothes over every avivable radiator surface and decided to warm up in bed.

Louis heard the shower turn on again and ventured out into the kitchen in the meantime. He thought about ordering some take-out later while grabbing some milk from the fridge, he hadn't gotten around grocery shopping yet. Humming to himself he rummaged through the cabinets to grab cocoa powder and some dark chocolate and a small pot. Louis didn't actually know if Nari prefered tea or something else, but with how much of a sweet tooth his friend had he had to like a good, hot chocolate on a rainy day.

It didn't take long until Nari joined him in the kitchen, wearing one of Louis pajama pants and hoodie. They fit him quite well given that they were pretty much the same height. "Wanna watch a movie or something? I have no motivation left to actually do something productive", Louis asked while searching for the two biggest mugs he could find.

"Sounds much better than the original plan." Nari agreed with an amused huff, leaning against the countertop to watch him finishing up the hot chocolatte. 

"How'd you know I like that?"

"I just figured by how many sweets you eat on a daily basis. How your teeth are so healthy is still a miracle to me", Louis said and grinned, filling the mugs and handing one to Nari.

Retreating back to the bedroom they made sure not to spill anything while getting comfortable on the mattress again. After a bit of discussion they settled on watching a Godzilla movie, mainly to gush about the sound design in between. 

"This is pretty good. How you're still single is astonishing", Nari noted at some point, his mug almost half empty already. Louis snorted.  "What can I say, I am perfect boyfriend material." "Oh shut up."

An hour into the movie the mugs were long empty and off to stay on the nightstand. Their occasional conversations fizzled into comfortable silence, Louis pretending not to notice when Nari's head eventually ended up leaning against his shoulder. Louis had quickly figured that the other was the type to retreat when confronted about it. In the beginning he had barely lingered around after they were done with the main part of their little arrangement, but he felt like Nari was warming up to him over the course of the last few weeks.

His body language was easier to read than the moody and dismissive front Nari put up. Louis didn't bring the unspoken words between them up, knowing it would just cause Nari to back off again. And while they were supposed to be nothing more than friends with benefits, he had the suspicion that Nari simply didn't have one he could lean on every once in a while.

So he didn't say out loud that he was more than willing to be more for him if he just asked, instead simply looping an arm around Nari and idly tracing patterns on his shoulder with his fingers. Louis only half paid attention to the movie, more aware of how the body next to him slowly but surely started to relax. Nari always seemed to carry around a sort of tension he was still trying to understand.

By the time the credits were rolling Nari's head was on his stomach, Louis playing with his hair while his free arm was draped over his back, one of Nari's arms wrapped around his waist. It put a faint smile on his lips that Nari allowed himself to let his guard down around him. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but it made Louis hope that he wasn't the only one wanting to be more than friends.

Neither of them said anything as Netflix autoplayed another movie, content in the small bubble of the moment. Louis kept playing with Nari's hair, alternating with some light head scratches from time to time. He knew Nari would never admit he liked it, but the occasional, quiet sigh and relaxed state spoke volumes. Under different circumstances he'd definitely tease him about it, but right now Louis felt like he had a cat on his lap that he didn't want to scare off.

Halfway through the second movie Nari ended up falling asleep, much to his quiet amusement. Louis tried not to move too much as he found the remote again to turn the TV off. It wasn't exactly late yet, but outside the window night had taken over, and the rain was slowly getting less intense. Carefully moving he pulled the blanket over Nari and shifting his position slowly so he was laying down as well instead of risking a horrible neck cramp by leaving his head rest against the headboard for that long. Luckily Nari only stirred slightly, but remained asleep, still cuddled up against his side. Louis smiled fondly at him before closing his eyes and eventually drifting off as well.

OMG drama!  storytime!  a hashtag vulnerable moment!

I don't usually feel represented by Rey, her being VERY young and very Light-Sided, but

as an approximately female type person who is mostly attracted to other approximately female type people

and who is also bankrolled in my extravagant lifestyle by medicore white men

I can honestly say that I've kissed plenty of medicore white men out of "gratitude"

even ones that I find ideologically repulsive.

So congrats to Rae Carson for telling my truth I guess.

Hello my dashing devils! (And my dearest writer). I hope you gents (and beauty) are doing alright! I've been having extra hard time eating and I sometimes forget to eat. Studying and stress is killing me right now. All I want is food, sleep, zero stress, cuddles, kisses and some storytime. Oh and before I head to class*tiptoes and kisses Virgil and V, sends flying kisses to writer* 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Anon, Rae.✨

(HIYAS!!!! *sends flying kisses back* I’m doing well, I hope you get better soon!!!! Maybe you could set an alarm on your phone to remind you to eat? Or bring snacks when you study.)

Vergil: *sees you studying and brings you food to eat, making sure to keep track of when you’ve eaten, when you are stressed, he pulls you away from the books and to the couch, there he lets you rest against his chest while he reads to you, occasionally kissing the top of your head* I promise, my darling, I will always care for you.

V: *sees you are getting stressed and gently pulls you away, takes you out for dinner then at home, curls up with you on the couch and reads poetry to you as Shadow and Griffon cuddle you* Sometimes you need a break and when you do, I will be there to help get rid of the stress.

Griffon: We all will.

Shadow: *purrs*
