I'm not sure if anyone has shared this yet, but it's phenomenal, and such a transcendent, emotional journey through her music.

the video is also spectacularly gorgeous, I'm in awe of the impressive talent, dedication, and time that must've gone into creating this and capturing the highs, lows, and connective tissue of these (230!!!) songs. it's like a magic distillation of why so many of us are impacted by and love her art the way we do:

#taylor swift #eras tour #the complete eras megamix #joseph james #tswiftedit #candy swift #apologies for using the edits tags but i know more people might get to see this there 💖 #full credits to the creator because this is beyond amazing!!! #without music life would be a mistake #thrown out speeches #favorite

Hermes: “Well, you know, Jay, I have been running for a long time. My entire life, which is about four million of your lifetimes. And, I don’t know if it helps or not, but it doesn’t stop. And there’s nothing bad about that, ‘cause there’s energy in it. And sometimes it’s nice to slow down and look out and…enjoy the view but, there’s nothing like the wind in your hair. So, if you’re gonna go fast, ✨at least have fun with it ✨”

*friendly but also slightly unhinged laugh (like always)*

The rap singer Valtònyc (wearing dark green in the first photo) has returned from exile. It's the first time he steps in his homeland Mallorca in almost 6 years.

He was sentenced to 3.5 years of prison because when he was 18 years old he wrote a song where he criticized the Spanish monarchy and uploaded it to YouTube. He wasn't famous and his most listened song on YouTube had 8,000 views, but in Spain it's a crime to say "injuries against the crown", and the laws are often applied more harshly against national minorities (Valtònyc is from the Catalan Countries). His song was found and he had to go to trial over it, and was sentenced guilty of the crimes of injuries against the monarchy, praising terrorism, and threats.

Valtònyc refused to accept the so-called "justice" of the Spanish judicial system, so he decided to escape. He managed to sneak to France unnoticed by the police, and went to Belgium, where there was already a community of Catalan people on exile for their political involvement in the Catalan independence process. He has lived on exile in Belgium these last 5 years and a half.

Had he come back to any Spanish territory, Valtònyc (same as the other exiles) would have immediately been jailed. In fact, Spain issued an international order of extradition, demanding Belgium arrest him and send him to Spain to be imprisoned. But the Belgian courts found that these kind of cases should be allowed under freedom of speech and, instead of sending Valtònyc to Spain, Belgium got rid of their own law that punished "injuries against the crown" as a crime. With no Belgian law to punish him, he was allowed to stay in Belgium. This is a similar process that had happened with other Catalan exiles, who Spain has demanded be extradited multiple times but Belgian law has protected for human rights and freedom of speech reasons.

By the way, the song that got him sentenced to prison had been a commission from the Spanish politician Pablo Iglesias (leader of Podemos, the left Spanish party) for his TV show La Tuerka. Valtònyc has explained that Iglesias never called him, never showed any solidarity nor interest in his case. Iglesias was vice-president of Spain during Valtònyc's exile.

The crimes expired six months ago, meaning he can no longer be imprisoned for it. However, the Spanish courts did not notify him of it (as they should have done), so his lawyer and him just found out.

After saying goodbye to other Catalan people on exile in Belgium, who are not allowed to come back yet (in the photos, shared by Valtònyc on his Twitter, he is saying goodbye to the politicians Lluís Puig and Carles Puigdemont), he has come back home.

He was welcomed by 200 people in his hometown. He has thanked all the people who helped him and showed solidarity. He also reminded that Pablo Hasél (a rap singer from Catalonia) is still in prison for the lyrics of his songs and the contents of his Tweets, sentenced guilty of injuries against the crown and praising terrorism. You can read more about Pablo Hasél's arrest in this post, and an explanation of the tweets and lyrics that got him sentenced in this post.

As we celebrate Valtònyc's return, we cannot forget that Spain has repeatedly ranked number 1 in the whole world for country that sent the most musicians to jail for the content of their music, in 2018 and 2020. By the way all the 14 rap singers condemned to prison for their lyrics were Catalan (Pablo Hasél and the 12 members of the band La Insurgencia from Catalonia, and Valtònyc from the Balearic islands), not one of any other culture group or from any other area. Curious, 100% of the sentenced, when the population of the Catalan Countries is less than 29% of the population of Spain. Wonder why!

pretty minor but in the new bts, from the angle of all their hands, it looks like Mike and Will are across from each other. Great angle if you want to do a shot where Mike and Will catch each other's eyes, exchanging glances and the camera lingering on it to show that there's a more intimate understanding between the two. Maybe with a little smile at each other before the moment fully breaks??? As a treat?

#*tender emotional music starts playing* #byler #st5 #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #st5 theory #i know you know what I'm talking about they do this every time the protag gives a motivating speech right before the fight gets real #and then there's this little moment with the love interest #where they catch eyes and we can see all the unsaid words that are understood between them

“Easily the worst thing the show did was rush through a dozen and a half of the “smaller” awards, with Geoff Keighley quite literally shouting them at the screen, rapid fire. You could blow through Best RPG, Best Racing/Sports Game, Best Multiplayer Game and Best Art Direction before you could finish a sip of the drink you no doubt needed to get through the evening. These awards are significant achievements for each game that wins them, and no one involved in these “lesser” categories gets to make an acceptance speech, and they’re not acknowledged for more than a split second. It’s callous and beneath something at least claiming to be an award show.”

“Ah, but what if you do win a “real” award? Well, you get essentially 30-45 seconds to make your speech, which seemed like a hard limit after Christopher Judge’s sprawling eight minute Best Performance speech last year. But that led to ridiculous, almost insulting moments like Astarion actor Neil Newborn having to rush through his heartfelt speech, or Alan Wake’s Sam Lake, Sam Lake getting played off early.”

Yeah respectfully. What the fuck was up with this

#I’ve never even played bg3 but when that music started playing *seconds* into what looked like a heartfelt speech from Neil Newbon… #my blood started simmering and this morning it was at full boil. #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #alan wake 2 #alan wake #tears of the kingdom #totk #final fantasy #the game awards #tga #tga 2023 #gaming

Jamiroquai did a motivational speech at a school, and then used a portable speaker to walk through the halls playing Virtual Insanity on loop for four hours.

Pretty 5 is so beloved bc we have:

Arashi "I dream of being a beautiful woman and also had explicit attraction to girls and my male teacher" Narukami.

Tori "I'm in love with my unit leader but he's in an arranged marriage to my sister and I feel selfish for wishing it was me" Himemiya.

Mika "I'm going to live with my beloved partner in Paris as a direct parallel to the life his queer grandfather never got to have" Kagehira.

Hiyori "I'm a princess in the units with the most fanservice imaginable and almost kissed my partner in an mv 3 times" Tomoe.

And Aira "I blush over idol fanservice and am a tsundere towards my unit leader and enamored with my former online friend" Shiratori

#my point being: they're all queer as fuck and i love them #pretty mission made me cry #eichi's whole same-sex marriage speech was such an emotional gut-punch jesus it was so good #plus the iconic “oshi-san's gettin' married? ...there could be death” #“'we' are not currently respected for our opinions” ara-neeeeeee #and of course every “jun-kun!” ever #aira thinks they're all insane which is fair but he's also their beloved kohai and he does still adore them #ensemble stars #enstars #ensemble stars music #pretty 5 #enstars pretty 5 #enstars circles #arashi narukami #tori himemiya #mika kagehira #hiyori tomoe #aira shiratori #gonna tag the implied ships which are #eitori #shumika #hiyojun #hiiai #kohaai #kohiiai #<- they're all such good ships btw i love them

got caught up with the hnk countdown twitter account today and the panel where bortz tells dia that they don't care about fighting and like raising jellyfish better is still the funniest panel of the manga

#this is like the equivalent of a midwestern farmer looking up and seeing a ufo #it's been centuries/millenia do you think bortz just forgot what a sunspot looked like at some point #the panel in question is from @HousekiCount's Jan 11 2024 (79 days since hiatus) post btw #hnk fans how's the drought going for yall #bortz got therapy and stopped to touch grass while dia went to space and was idolised into an even more severe inferiority complex #in a less dire post-moon universe bortz would’ve left dia’s manic battle speech on read or replied with a 👍 #bortz @ the jellyfish: fucking superb you funky little guys #do you think they marvel at how squishy the jellyfish are because their old routine was just fighting and sleeping #im so obsessed with bortz's short hair. i cannot emphasise it enough i find it so hdlahdsllsks #this was inspired by meme nova's entrance in terminalmontage's 'something about kirby super star animated' video #imagine the music slowly getting louder as the sunspot gets closer. #bortz #houseki no kuni bortz #hnk bortz #houseki no kuni #hnk #hnk fanart #land of the lustrous #lotl #lotl fanart #hnk spoilers #my art #fanart #art #doodle #comic #dont repost or you're getting thrown in the pool as jellyfish chow

By the way, about Blade Runner parallels (references) in DBH

#The whole Traci fight/speech looked like really intentional nod to the Blade Runner #From the rain and framing to the music #even the option of one Traci mourning the death of another ( #(Roy finding dead Pris) #except yeah Tracis get an option to escape together #and Traci's reaction to the death of her lover is not a revenge #dbh #dbh x blade runner #blade runner 1982 #detroit become human #dbh connor #dbh traci #dbh tracis

Epic The Musical;

Tiresias: Your men are gonna die. No need to even try. You will be fucked up, oh and your wife will marry a mass murderer

Odysseus: Whoa thanks for the fucking nothing dude! Why did I even come down here?! I can throw infants off towers instead! That got me out of Troy!

Odyssey;

Tiresias: To make it out alive you must not eat the cattle belonging to Helios, if you do you are doomed. To appease Poseidon you must offer a very specific sacrifice and you must travel once more, good luck. Oh and you have news from home.

Odysseus: Oh shit we ain't done yet? Now I have to protect my men from yet another fiasco other than the sack from Aiolus?! Well...nevermind... Thanks prophet. It was massive help.

hi everyone just thinking about how the sign of four and the picture of dorian gray were born from the same dinner party and how in the sign of three a parallel could be drawn with the picture of dorian gray. by which I mean a person creating a terribly revealing piece of art

#at first i meant the music but the speech counts too
