Aaand I forgot it was possible to ask about multiple songs in one go, so if you feel like it, feel free to ignore the previous message and answer this one for numbers 11, 57 and 88!

Thank you, Seren!!!

11. Cocaine Jesus by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

High as hell, feeling fine, nothing bad but nothing kind

Not a word from me, at least nothing you would mind

In my head, in my head, I get lonely sometimes

57. Riptide by Vance Joy

Lady, running down to the riptide

Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left-hand man

88. It's Time by Imagine Dragons

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger

But then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

#cocaine jesus gives me seven x mc feelings #but mainly i was just obsessed with the band for a little bit #riptide and it's time were (maybe are?) on the twc prequel playlist #literally searched 'top songs 2013' to find period-appropriate music lol #i feel like 'it's time' is kind of an end-credits sort of song for the end of avery's freshman year #although...i think she leaves it very changed!

“All I Ask Of You” but it’s N and the Detective

#the wayhaven chronicles #twc n sewell #twc detective #it’s my favorite from the musical :)

[lebuc]

music & metaphysics ( ala Lester Young )

* ...hoping for a jam session with the Ultimate band leader 

who's not gonna play the ax for you, or help you hit those solo notes;

just making sure there's space for your riffing & flows

...digging it when you find your way through

but should you start blowing sour notes, one who'll call you out, man  with the love & respect due a true player.

& that's where the metaphor hits the breaks, dig?

cause a true cat won't let a young'un step on somebody else's toes - noway, no how -

what with the pain & suffering through so many bad gigs worldwide,

cats getting dropped & otherwise fallin off, i don't really know what to tell you.

so the question du jour:

whether there's a truly righteous force up there looking out for us, like a cat that's got your back when you're in a tight spot - or not.

groovin thru this crazy world, dippin & dabbin like Coltrane riffs, it'd be nice to know there's something keepin us on the one;

cause if not, it can all turn into chaos & dissonance just like that, man

& pros will tell you

that's no way to make great music  - like we aim to. * 5/23 - lebuc - music & metaphysics ( ala Lester Young * )

* look him up...

CFP: Centering Blackness in Fan Studies **DEADLINE EXTENDED**

This special issue centers Blackness in fandom studies. Fandom studies has gestured toward race generally, and Blackness in particular, from its alleged white center while always keeping race at its margin. It has largely co-opted the language of race, difference, and diversity from the margins and recentered it around white geeks and white women. Indeed, fandom studies has done lots of things—except deal with its race problem. But as Toni Morrison (1975) asserts, that is the work of racism: it keeps those at the margins busy, trying to prove that they deserve a seat at the center table. In this way, those considered marginal expend energy trying to be granted access to the center while citing, reifying, and expanding the supposed universality of the center that fails to engage the margin because it is too particular. If, as the title of Audre Lorde’s famous 1984 essay reminds us, “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House,”  then it is time to willfully ignore white fandoms, just as Black fandoms have been willfully ignored.

For this special issue, we seek to privilege and celebrate Blackness, not as a comparative but as enough on its own. We want essays that build on the relatively small but groundbreaking scholarly work that centers Black fandoms, including work on young Black male (Brown 2000) and female (Whaley 2015) comic readers; Black gay sitcom fans (Martin 2021a); Black fan “defense squads” that protect fictional characters’ Blackness (Warner 2018); Black fan labor (Warner 2015); Black antifandom (Martin 2019b); Black fans’ enclaving practices (Florini 2019b); Black female music fans (Edgar and Toone 2019); and Black acafans (Wanzo 2015). It also engages and with and builds on our Black feminist foremothers, including bell hooks (1992), Jacqueline Bobo (1995), and Robin Means Coleman (1998), who showed us ways to think about how Black audiences engage with media. This corpus of work on Black audiences and fandoms provides a base for further theorization about the experiences and meanings of Black fandom. We encourage work that engages, nuances, and challenges this foundational work, leading to novel reconsiderations of how fan studies defines and understands Black fandoms.

We invite submissions that contribute to a conversation that centers Black audiences, fans, antifans, and global Blackness itself. We are not interested in comparative studies of Black fandom practices, because Blackness is enough. This issue seeks to center Blackness and (anti)fandom in all of its permutations. We hope the following suggested topics will inspire wide-ranging responses.

Black folks and “doing” fandom.

Black fans and deployment of (anti)fandom.

Black fan practices imbricated in a politics of representation.

Affective Black fandoms.

The politics of Black (anti)fandoms.

Interactions between Black fans and media producers.

Audience/fan response to Black-cast remakes and recasting non-Black-cast texts with Black actors.

Black fandoms of non-Black-cast media.

Blackness and enclaving.

Black music fandom.

Black sports fandom.

Black fandom and labor.

Black fandom and affect.

Black antifandom and hate.

Global Black fandoms.

Black fandom and contemporary or historical politics.

Mediated constructions of Blackness.

Black fandoms and celebrities/parasocial relationships.

Black queer fandom.

Disabled Black fandom.

Case studies of specific texts related to Black fandom.

Historical and archival accounts of Black fandom.

keep this a secret if you want - the balletomane in me wants to know if your st petersburg 1876 n comment had anything to do with tchaikovsky or the mariinsky? i know tchaikovsky was still composing then and the mariinsky was opened in the mid-late 1800s so classical arts were thriving 🩷

Hello hello! I don’t mind sharing! The comment was referring to Tchaikovsky!

He was commissioned to compose a series of pieces through the year, it was called The Seasons. One piece per month was released through the year

I didn’t know about the Mariinsky (i have a lot to learn about the classical arts!) but - YES! Definitely!

It would have been a great year for them to be there

#i listen to classic music radio in the afternoons #and one of the pieces was playing the other day #and the radio host was discussing the seasons and i looked it up and yep - so n se #thank you for asking! #and indulging me! #twc #n sewell

The 'Ashen Prince', the 'Masked King', the 'Roving Gloom’ — the ruler of the Winter Court goes by many names. Widely regarded as the strongest and most dangerous of the winter fae, his dominion over the Gelid Throne remains uncontested.

While the Shatterveil Expanse is his primary domain, the entirety of the Winter realm responds to his will. For an entity whose presence is widely felt, he is rarely seen. They say, if you are unlucky, you can catch a glimpse of the elusive Ashen Prince roaming the Savariden Taiga.

°°°°°°°°°

*Lore Note*: The Shatterveil Expanse is a massive region within the Land of Eternal Winter that contains within it other areas. The Expanse is home to the capitol of the Winter Court. Though the Shatterveil is mostly tundra, the Savariden Taiga is the large (and only) forest in the region.

Truly Madly Deeply [Cover] - Yoke Lore

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky I'll make a wish send it to heaven and make me want to cry The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection Of the highest power in lonely hours The tears devour you Oh you can see it baby? You don't have to close your eyes 'Cause it's standing right before you All that you need will surely come

Sea Lion - Sage Francis

Get in the bus. Hop in the van. Jump in the water. Crawl to the land. Build another castle out of sand. Break it down and then get into the saddle again. I'm going city to city - i'm already lost. Tell the boss who is new in town. I'll ride this horse 'til it it bucks me off and i'm forced to shoot it down. I'll take him out for some gasoline. Trade this cow for some magic beans. Gonna make mom proud of the deals that I made, 'cause I'm just a modern day Johnny Appleseed. But I'm glad that I never passed the genes, and I never put down the axe.
