*this will be a long post heh*
SHINee just celebrated their 16th anniversary a few days ago and I was watching fancams of their concert and I just bawled like crazy. It made me so emotional watching them and I really wanted to write this post to share my journey with SHINee.
In 2011, my friend in middle school showed me this iconic music video and it was love at first sight. I was so obsessed with the guy in the all red outfit and that my friend was how I found my first bias at the ripe age of 14. I went all in with SHINee, I bought their first album on Amazon, The SHINee World, and I ripped the CD on iTunes and put the songs onto my iPod. And till this day I always go back to listen to Best Place, Romantic, One For Me because they are genuinely some of the best R&B tracks in all of Kpop. This is a great medley performance of their first album songs!
They were also the reason I got into Korean variety shows. From their iconic Hello Baby series to other funny variety appearances like this one. And their iconic SNL appearance where Minho's dibidibidis rap is made to life LOL
Also adding this popular clip where Jonghyun recreated their ramen commercial and he falls down and just watch the chaos that ensues after, Minho's laugh could be heard miles away I swear.
Because of their appearance on SNSD's Hello Baby I also got into SNSD right after as well. Throwback to when Key and Taemin were the fanboys of this VCR for SNSD's concert, it's so good lmao
I also will not let people forget about the iconic collabs that they had with their sister groups SNSD and f(x). They did Juliette with soshi here and Hello with f(x) here and this iconic one where Taemin kissed Krystal. Yes he really did that, 2nd gen wasn't playing with their stages.
But what was the main reason that I got into SHINee? It wasn't just because of Key's cute ass outfit in Hello but it was because the song was that f*cking good. It only takes one good song for me to get into a K-pop group and I can tell instantly if they're talented or not. So lemme get real into it, SHINee's discography.
They went on this show called The Muzit and did covers with a live band and I kid you not I watched this video like almost everyday back then. Key had that ridiculous Lucifer hair here but he killed the rap in I'll Be Missing You.
Everyone is always Ring Ding Dong this Ring Ding Dong that but what about my girl Jojo??? She is one of the best b-sides out there, ok just please listen to their vocals on this track, it still gives me chills till this day.
We all know noona neomu yeppeo but do we know the Japanese version where Yoona was the main girl and they had those crazy ass sneakers with wings on them and Taemin actually had more lines? No well here it is because she's a banger even in Japanese! While we're at it, let me introduce Kiss Kiss Kiss as well another great Japanese track by them.
The album that I really want to highlight is The Misconceptions of You Chapter 1 - Dream Girl. Why? Because they came out on stage spinning those mics like their lives depended on it. SHINee's back back, ok. Let me tell you why this album is a genius because in the first track Spoiler - Jonghyun included the name of every single song from Misconceptions of You Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 into this song. Yes he included the names of all 18 tracks in the song Spoiler. This song is pure genius because the intro literally sounds like Sherlock but then you're like wait what is going on, just listen to it. He literally gave us the spoiler by putting the spoilers inside a song called Spoiler.......Ok you thought I was done with this album, right? No I am not. They have a song on there called Sleepless Night and when I say their vocals will make you cry and give you goosebumps, this song is here to back up my point.
Other notable songs that I need to call out is Love Sick which pays a tribute to Replay both in lyrics and in CHOREO, when this came out I literally felt sick because I was gagged by how they are literally doing Replay's dance during the chorus.
I also need to put people on this beautiful b-side called Feel Good, literally put this song on and that is how you will feel. It's such a good track, and the 1 of 1 album was so SHINee and a perfect album.
After 2017, I did withdraw back a bit and it was much harder for me to follow SHINee the way I used to. But I always kept up with them and would check out their releases. From recent years I really wanted to point out the songs Countless, Kiss Kiss, Body Rhythm, Days and Years, and Sweet Misery.
I can't get too into the solo stuff because this post would go on forever but my favorites are as follow:
Onew - Love Phobia, Into The Whale, Caramel
Jonghyun - Hallelujah (omg this song drives me crazy), Moon, U & I
Key - Hate That, I Wanna Be, One of Those Nights
Taemin - Be Your Enemy, If I Could Tell You, this iconic Japanese song idk the English title
Minho - Heartbreak, Chase, Stay For A Night
Anyways SHINee has had an incredible career and they were such big pioneers in the K-pop industry. They captured my heart right away because they're such a genuine and hard-working group. Not only that but they have been with me through some of the hardest and loneliest years of my life. Whenever things were bad at home for me I would turn on their music or search up english subs to their variety shows or binge watch their concert fancams. Their music and presence gave me so much hope. I was never alone because I got to cry and laugh with SHINee while growing up. It was evident from early on that this group loves each other so much.
I was able to write this long post because of all the years of heartfelt memories I shared with them. I have all of these specific moments, songs, and performances deep in my mind. Somewhere in the corner of my heart, SHINee will always be there, just like how I have a mini encyclopedia page for them in my brain.
They're the reason I got into K-pop 13 years ago. I might not follow them as much and they might not be my ult group anymore but they'll always be my first love in K-pop. And we never forget our first love. I wish nothing but the best for SHINee and I will continue to support them wherever I am. I truly wish them the best anniversary this year. Happy belated birthday SHINee <3 OT5 FOREVER <3
I hope that newer fans can also appreciate the legends that they are.
And my last song recommendations are A-yo, Up & Down, Ready or Not. Their 2nd full album is kinda crazy, but in the best best way. And watch the Hello music video, I promise it will put a smile on your face.

Is it a good idea to make a naming convention based on something silly like candy? Like calling an amphibian with large fluid-filled dewlap a 'Jelly Belly', small square ground animals that serve like sea anemone for a different species 'Turkish Delight', cute round bee-like creatures that tend to follow each other in single file line groups a 'Tanghulu' etc? Maybe even name them after fictional candy in the world, like naming a bell-plant like creature that looks like it has cereal bits on the skin a 'Sweetflow Cereal'?
My story isn't necessarily targeted to children under 12, but I am planning for it to be a feel-good but sometimes serious story (kind of like the owl house). I plan to have no R18+ material, so I'm wondering if this is a good idea worth considering, or if it would get old over time?

This is going to be long, but I’ll try to make it short.
This young woman that I used to call my best friend, I’ve just realized is a narcissist.
We share over 200 of the same friends. I met her 5 years ago. But we got really close over the last year. A group of 4 of us, were really closed and talked daily. I would consider myself the glue to the friendships because I always planned gatherings, planned parties at my home. I always included their SOs and their children in these events too.
There were a lot of red flags, but I ignored them because I wanted to see the good. We had similar interest and I enjoyed her company. She said all the kindest things and always made it seem like she heard me. But she also always thought everyone wanted/obsessed/jealous of her, had burned through jobs, friends, relationships, family, nothing ever was her fault, she was so difficult to talk to in the sense that she never wanted to hear what she didn’t want to here, she never put her kids first, always on dates- sleeping with men- staying out all night, she talked trash about our other friends and was always mad at someone for something dumb, she always bragged about things (even weird shit like a guy hitting on her at the gas station), she had a lot of double standards- like one set of rules for her and another for others.
So at the end of last month, I was on a 2 week vacay to Europe. She got upset because I would be there on her birthday. So I planned a special celebration for when I got home. So I would get home on Tuesday then fly to Houston from VA on Friday to attend a concert with her and then fly back Sunday. I really went out of my way to make this happen. While I was in Europe, I wished her a hbd their time and va time. She tells me her bf forgot her bday and our other two friends didn’t plan anything for her. Come to find out our other 2 friends did plan something for her and she cancelled on them and went out with her bf. So lies. For sympathy?
So fast forward to Sunday, the flight home. They are auctioning people off our 1p flight home for a 400$ voucher because the flight is overbooked. She wants to do that. I tell her I can’t, I need to get home. I have 4 dogs, my ex was watching them and he had just watched them while I was in Europe for 2 weeks (so I felt bad), it was my time with my kid (I missed her, I was just gone for two weeks, and I didn’t have meds for the flight. I take Xanax prior to flights and I had taken it already cause I thought we were getting on this 1pm flight and I don’t have more. I take it for anxiety secondary to IBS. She’s visibly upset. She accuses me of lying. Saying that my bf is with my dogs and I lied about his work schedule. I said no, I know his schedule. My ex is at my house and my other obligations and lack of meds still exist. She’s calls me grumpy. I tell her that she can stay but I can’t. She is visibly angry. I tell her, go ahead and see what the catch is. She does, they say that the next flight is at 11p. She tells me this and says she can’t do that because she has to work at 4a and we wouldn’t be home till 4a. So I think everything’s fine. Nope, wrong. Gives me the silent treatment on the way home.
Fast forward to Wednesday, everything has been back to normal. I invited her to go to FL with me in July. My bf, myself and my daughter would be going and I invited her and her daughter. My bf and I would be paying for everything. I only asked that she cover her plane ticket, which was 163$. She asked if her bf of 3 months could go, I thought it was weird cause I’m paying for everything. I just wanted her kid to go to the beach this summer and have a good time. So I say yes, he can come. She then asked again about the cost of the flight and I tell her 163$ per person. She flys off the handle and starts saying I’m not paying that. And starts saying I exclude her bf from everything and I treat her an him like an inconvenience. I was like what??? I wouldn’t have said yes if he was an inconvenience. And he was invited to Houston and she said she just wanted to go with me. Anyways, this continues over and over- she’s not paying, I treat them xyz way. I apologize over and over and I attempt to clear any misunderstanding.
She starts calling me names. Insist I sent her concert tickets for 6 concerts that I paid for. I tell her no, I paid for them, they’re not yours. I invited you to come. She says no you gifted them to me. I say they’re in my account, I paid for them, they’re mine. She tells me she had told her daughter she could go to the concert that was Friday. I feel bad cause I don’t want her daughter let down, so I send the ticket.
Thursday comes, her daughter’s bday. We had plans to go to get bracelets and dinner as the entire friend group and our kids. She says, cancel the reservations we aren’t going. So I do. But I had gifts and a cake. So I tell her that I’m just going to drop it off at her home. I do, along with a Mother’s Day card, gift and flowers for her.
Friday comes, I go to the concert. The ushers sit me on the other side of her, her daughter sees me and waves. She has an extra seat at her table, so she invites me to sit. Everything’s fine. She asks what I got her daughter for her bday party tomorrow- I show her, she says it’s cute. (So I’m thinking everything is fine).
Saturday comes, I take my daughter and her friend to the party. Her daughter and mine, and her friend hang out at my home and have sleepovers a lot. I get to the trampoline park where the party is at and I text her, “parties are stressful, do you need anything before we come in?” She responds, I would appreciate it if you didn’t come. I said, omg, what? I have two kids going to a party they were invited to. I never thought you would uninvite kids. They’re not involved. She said, idc, don’t sit with me. I said, that’s fine, I’ll sit elsewhere, can the kids sit with you. She said no. I said, okay, can my kid give yours this gift she just picked for her at the store? She said no.
I told the kids, she isn’t feeling well, so you guys need to sit with me. You can play with the bday girl, but don’t sit at her table- she’s overwhelmed.
She then blocks me on text. Then text friend A messages me saying “why did you say that I said Narc friend makes disgusting comments?” I was like what? What are you talking about? She said, “sure, say what you want about me” I said “ no I never said anything about you”
(Narc friend once told me that you can blackmail someone by changing the name on text- so you can change things to look like someone said something but it be someone else/another number but you see the name as who you want to blackmail. So a fabricated text thread to hurt someone by making it look like you’re talking behind their back)
She then told friend B that I said my bf was beating me and that I was cheating on him. That isn’t true.
Friend B told my bf, saying if she was him she would want to know. He didn’t believe her.
Narc friend has her bf text me- call me names and then say never talk to me again. I never replied. He’s a nice guy. It didn’t make sense. I’ve let him stay at my home several times. Even borrow my car. Spend time with my family.
The narc friend texted my bf telling him that she has proof that I’m stalking her. (That’s the most foul accusation ever.) She said I show up at her house (no I don’t, I went once to give her gifts and I told her I was doing it). She said I asked her husband (yes she has a bf and a husband) for information. (No, I didn’t. He said to me at our kids soccer, “I went to bed early, narc friend is a lot. I said I don’t understand what’s going on but we’re not talking about this, I dont want you involved. The total opposite of trying to get info.) She said I crossed the line talking to her at the concert. She said I approached her kid (no, I did not, her kid came running to me at the party when she spotted me. She screamed my name, hugged and kissed me. I started crying, she kissed the tears on my face. She asked me why I was sad? I said it’s adult stuff, worry about kid stuff, it’s your bday).
She texted my bf and said tell her to leave all of us alone. Friend A and B already made their choice. Or I’ll show her things she doesn’t want you to know. Friend A and I are fine. But friend B betrayed me with the cheating lie.
I sent her, narc friend an email (cause she’s blocked me) asking her to please stop using the term stalking that she knows that it’s untruthful and it’s slander and disgusting.
I said, all of these things you said to my bf are untrue. It needs to stop. All of these places have cameras and witnesses.
She messaged me back and said, I will get a restraining order and you won’t be able to go to your kids soccer games. (I had signed her kid up in the first place, even paid for it and found her birth certificate bc narc friend was too lazy to look for it. She also has only ever gone to 1 game.)
I said you keep asking me to leave you alone. But you keep perpetuating these events. Talking about me. Texting my bf and my friends. Making up lies. Having people text me to bully me. If you leave me alone then all of everything would stop, it makes zero sense.
She said, I’m not going to tell you one more time. I didn’t respond.
Then friend B text my bf and insinuated that I’m mentally ill and need help. I messaged back and said, I’m fine, thanks for asking. I’m not going to be responding to any of you anymore. Please stop. I’m not defending myself any longer. You know all of this has been lies. I have no more apologies for things I haven’t done wrong. Thank you.
The following week at soccer. Her kid bullied mine everyday. Saying, “our moms aren’t friends anymore, so neither are we, and I’m not going to talk to you” and everytime my kid would be talking to someone- her kid would say shut up, no one cares. So her kid is being brainwashed to be involved. Narc friend came to the final game and bullied more kids.
We have a mutual friend who she used to be close to, I wanted some closure that I wasn’t crazy. So I asked her why they had a falling out? She described a very similar situation. She asked me not to tell her over and over because she didn’t want to be involved and endure her wrath.
I’ve received screenshots from people of her;
Asking them to help make fake fb post and text to frame me for cheating on my bf.
That she brought me plan b because I’m pregnant with some other guys baby.
That I stole 5k in donations from her. (I actually gave her 5k that I raised for her).
That I was trying to make her pay for the whole fl vacay and I went ape shit when she wouldn’t.
That she’s been giving me thousands for months and supporting me.
All of this couldn’t be further from the truth. And thankfully people recognize that it’s not my character and are letting me know. I haven’t reached out or responded in two weeks but it still won’t stop.
She went and got tattoos with my friends on Sunday. Then again today. I haven’t told everyone what’s going on. So they don’t know to stay away. But she’s doing it to get to me.
The amount I have done for her and her family. And my other friends is astronomical. I would have to type an entire new post to list that out. So I won’t, just know I am extremely giving and caring.
I feel so stupid and used. She was talking about me behind my back the entire friendship. I’m so hurt. And I have no recourse for what to do because she does not care obviously. I just want the lies and rumors to stop.

i (29f) fell in love with my roommate (25m) but he fell in love with someone else, and i can’t deal with it. what do i do?
Allright, so, i’ve been living in this newly set up community place for a little over a year now. People have come and gone over that year but but Walter, Marius and I have been living here all this time. The tree of us are (or maybe we’re) really close. For example, we would sleep over in my bed the three of us in the winter because it was warmer.
Ever since the beginning, i thought Marius was into me a little bit. At a certain point, he would join me every evening when i went for a little walk before going to sleep, he would give me weird hugs and he would get really nervous around me. but at the same time, he had a girlfriend who lived in the UK (we live in the netherlands) so i never thought he was actually hitting on me.
At some point not too long ago, we started getting even closer. his girlfriend was doing research in Singapore for 2 months and i noticed he would get closer and closer to me. he would message me all day, he would always sit next to me on the couch in the evening and put his hands on me in some way (which didn’t feel uncomfortable), he would even start holding my hand on the bike and asked to take pictures of me when i put makeup on (i never wear make up so it’s a big deal). i felt so strongly he was falling in love with me. even the way he said my name, give me a good night hug, stare at me for long times, etc etc.
i was starting to notice that i was falling for him. at one point we sat next to each other on the couch and looked eachother in the eye and i could just feel electricity going though my entire body. it made me really nervous. i don’t like falling for people, i hate to become that vulnerable. (i have quite a history with sexual assault and abusive relationships and i kind of had given up in some way. i’ve been in therapy since march for it, but i feel like things aren’t really changing) the whole situation just stessed me out. i mean, he is really sweet, and smart and funny, but it’s also stressful.
so, i decided to tell him. things went really bad from here. i told him i liked him and i had the idea he was also in to me. his reply was ‘i have no idea what you are talking about’… i was shocked. he became so awkward that he really tried to get out of the situation.
this made me pretty angry because i felt like we needed to talk about it and also, i could not understand how he would have been treating me like that without at least having a little crush on me.
i think he noticed that i was pretty irritated with him so two days later we talked, on his initiative. i told him i was super supprised and didn’t understand how i could have misread things so much. he just stuck to his ‘no, i don’t like you’ and after i got everything out, the convo ended.
ever since then, he kept following around another roommate, Natalie. he gave her all this attention and was clearly messaging her a lot and would even drunkenly talk about how chill he thought she was.
this made everything really weird and i didnt know how to deal with the situation. so i became pretty distant. fast forward 4 weeks later, our friendship still being very awkward but i try to mend the friendship again. suddenly, he breaks up with his girlfriend. and within 4 days he starts dating a mutual friend of ours (that i had a little crush on too). and they are no where near taking it slow, but she is constantly in our house. and when she is not in our house, he is at her place…
after i noticed it was going on, he tells me something is going on between them and we talked about it. it was a pretty nice conversation where i also told him how i didn’t like how our friendship seemed to decay, that he didn’t talk about things more or took initiative to talk about how he felt about the situation. he was really shocked though when i told him i was also a bit into her. while the conversation made me feel great, the days after didn’t. cause she is constantly here and they are being super cute together. constantly hugging and having little inside jokes and stuff.
i don’t know, it’s been really messy. i’ve been feeling really alone cause u miss being so close with someone, and i feel insecure cause he doesn’t expresss missing is friendship with me. i don’t like at all that he is together, at the place we live, constantly with his new partner (they seemed to have gotten married in the past week). i don’t know what to do. i also don’t know how to act towards her anymore so i’ve just been pretty sistan. i also feel a bit happy for them being so happy together and really fitting together well, but i feel really forgotten. i also feel like Marius and i have talked about it more than enough and that taking more might makes the situation even more awkward at this point. but i’ve been feeling so alone and insecure that my other relationships haven’t been feeling as meaningful as they usually have either. it’s really been fucking with my head, i think about it when i wake up and before i go to sleep. i am also not so sure what emotion it is exactly that i feel when i think about it or see them together, i’m not sure if it is jelousy or something else. but i hate it.
what do i do? how do i make the situation better? how can i regain the friendship we had or should i let go of that sunken ship? how do i feel better about myself and less alone? should i move (temporarily)? and if i do talk with him about how i miss being close friends, what should and shouldn’t i say? how do i rid myself of all these stupid emotions and just be a nice , supportive friend that wishes him well? hulp!!

Dial printing: Looks Good - Bit Yellowish Compared to previous QC probably because of lightning
Hand Alignment: Looks Good
Timegrapher numbers: Not to be worried about
Anything else: Misaligned Crown issue resolved in this QC. The dial is bit yellowish compared to previous QC but it still looks fine and that is probably due to lighting angle.

My parents got divorced a year and a half ago. It was an amicable divorce and they are capable of acting like adults and won't cause any trouble, but they do not like each other and are not on speaking terms. I am glad they are divorced and they are both much happier now (it should have happened a long time ago, to be honest) but the whole wedding planning process has brought up a lot of situations that are a little bit tricky to navigate.
To make matters worse, they both found new partners pretty soon after the divorce, but my dad got successfully remarried while I just found out my mom ended her relationship with her boyfriend and she's pretty broken up about it. My wedding will be the first time my dad's new wife and my mom will meet face to face.
For context, my parents are paying for my wedding. I am their only daughter, so they are invested in me having a pretty big wedding (about 120 people) at a nice venue which I'm fine with and I'm having a lot of fun planning everything. They are splitting the cost 50/50. The aesthetic of the wedding is pretty formal because I love the idea of everybody getting fancy together. I'm not going to lie, it is a lot of money. More money than I have ever had anyone give me before in any context. I'm trying really hard to make sure that I am making reasonable decisions and not letting this turn into a pissing contest.
Here are some of the anxiety-inducing situations I've encountered so far:

• I looked up the format for a formal invitation and it said if the parents are paying for the wedding it should be something like "Mr. and Mrs. Bridesparents request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter" but I don't want to imply that my parents are still a couple so I guess I am leaving it off completely
  
• Same issue with the wedding programs - they still have the same last name so it looks weird if i list them separately but then the other option is to leave them out completely and would they notice?
  
• I thought doing an "Anniversary Dance" is a cute idea, but it would highlight the fact that my dad just got remarried and I don't want my mom to not even be able to participate. I think it would make her sad.
  
• my dad really wants to walk me down the aisle and do a father-daughter dance but it feels weird somehow that there are no equivalents for me to do with my mom. I feel like having them both walk me down the aisle feels more emotionally appropriate but logistically would be awkward because my dress is really big and the aisle isn't.
  
• at the reception, my siblings are going to want to sit with each other, but I don't want my parents at the same table or even in each other's line of sight. how do I choose which parent gets them
  

I want them both to have fun and I don't want either of them to feel slighted or left out. I'm scared that there are other potential pitfalls that I haven't even thought of. I'm driving myself crazy. Has anyone had to navigate a similar situation? What can I do to make sure that this isn't a bad experience for them - my mom especially?

And wow am I excited. I heard it at the listening party in Austin, TX and was pretty blown away. The production was dreamy and hazy and gorgeous. It’s super catchy too.
In CINEMA, The Marías hinted at dreampop sounds on songs like Heavy, but they never went full into it like Submarine. This entire album can make you dance and but it’s full of emotion and and power too. The production really is so stunning. The dreampop genre falls under alternative but it’s clear how influenced they were by it this time around.
I like it more than CINEMA, and I love CINEMA. No songs are relegated to interludes besides the first song, so they’re all fully fleshed out. It had a great flow and I think has quite a lot more going on than CINEMA. The sound is constantly engaging. I can’t wait to dive into the lyrics too. If Only being the only song without percussion was exciting.
This is definitely their best work for me and I hope you guys are excited to hear it in a few days! Dreampop is my favorite genre so I’m losing my mind with excitement.
My favorite song was Echo (such a catchy bop), but every song hits. I couldn’t even name other songs I loved cuz they’d all be here. Even the intro sounds really cool and sets up the album nicely. Also, this album has their best closer, hands down. Plus, I love the water aesthetics for a dreampop album like this.
Happy Submarine week! What did the other listening party folk think of it?

^\PREFACE: This might be a crazy rabbit hole. I'm sorry]) Hey y'all so I stumbled across this amazing (band? Musician?). Anyway I tried looking into them and found their Apple Music and Youtube topic page (seriously fuck google for topic pages) But i can't seem to find anything about the band or their existence. I DID however find that their Producer (DK Records) might not even exist?? There is a TON of posts about fake bands and music from the record label but Coriolis Effect has 13+ albums from the past two years alone. Please help find this/these transcendent wizards lol. Thanks Y'all.
Info Found So Far:
Youtube Topichttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCekHV-qRqM4xhBZPwGnK4WQ Apple Musichttps://music.apple.com/gb/artist/coriolis-effect/1717722183 Records DKhttps://support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013534554-Why-Is-My-Record-Label-Name-Listed-as-123456-Records-DK-Or-Some-Other-Number

I want to say when I first heard this album, it was release night and the first song I saw on YouTube was Mulberry Street. I was like “woaahhh THIS is twenty one pilots????” I was stoked. Then I listened to Redecorate last and I was emotionally crippled. Kind of like watching La-la-land. Great first time listening to it through.
Anyway:
Redecorate: I would describe this as prime Vessel (I love Vessel) but extremely high quality and much modern sounding.
Choker: this would be loved so much more if it wasn’t on this album. Imagine this being on Trench after like Chlorine. 👌👌👌
Mulberry Street: it’s a BOP. The end. Let’s have some fun, and still maybe a little sad.
No Chances: no one would be complaining about an absence of lore if this was on Clancy, and yet it seems this gets ignored heavily because it’s SAI. This song is SO intense and perfectly depicts the battle between the banditos and bishops.
The Outside: my only critique is I wish the raps were four minutes longer.
Saturday/good day/bounce man/Shy away: they’re fun. We can be allowed to have some fun. Sometimes I need to not be sad ya know.
Formidable: maybe you don’t like the melody or whatever but this is really cute.
Never Take It: honestly don’t love this one but Tyler has a guitar solo and that’s fun.
There you go. I think it’s an excellent album. Feel free to disagree or give your own defenses.

I have hated cats ever since my first best friend passed. He was a cat named Alfredo. He would climb through my window when I was little and I’d feed him. My dad always hated cats but didn’t seem to mind Alfredo. Anyways, he became family and he was mostly outdoors. He never misbehaved or bit me. He never clawed. He had well potty manners and only went outside. He would leave for days and come back for a bit. He was perfect and sweet. Well since then I tried adopting a few cats of my own here and there. Hated them. They were mean and ruthless and undeserving of anything I could give them.
I finally decided to adopt a kitten. I woke up in the middle of the night getting pawed at on the face. Opened my eyes, and in a split second it scratched me in the eye. I had strep at the time and was very ill and felt horrible. I hated that cat. I never hurt him but it made me see red. I wanted to badly but I’m not a monster. I found him a nice home.
My friends thinks her cat is cute. You know those types of people who have evil cats and name them cute little evil names? She’s that person. Her cats name is “Ej” short for “Evil Jared” and I hate it. I was sitting on the floor talking with her one day and he ran up behind me and bit my fucking arm. For no reason. She just laughed and acted like it was cute. Why??? My stepsister has a cat as well. And he’s bit me before unprovoked. I’ve never harmed an animal in my life. I have a 4 year old Leopard Gecko. I’ve had 4 guinea pigs. I’ve had many dogs. And one cat I truly loved. Moral of the rant is, I hate cats and I feel awful about it. Im an empathic person and I cry at almost anything. And the fact that I have so much hate for an innocent animal hurts. I don’t know why I am filled with this evil. I hope one day I can meet another Alfredo to change my mind again. Anyways thanks for listening.

its now been around 3 months since everything, this lasted for around 5 months.
Long novel incoming sorry
Hey all. I really cant talk about this to anyone without hurting her; so sit down this is a doozey. Needless to say I have not so great mental health, in high school I was in a pretty bad emotionally abusive relationship, I was pretty badly abused and pushed everyone I knew away and was in a pretty much severe depression and severe anxiety for around 6 years, I assumed one day I would sleep it off, and think normal but that never happened.
Anyways I get to college and really dont put myself out there to meet anyone else. Come to my senior year and my grades are pretty good, but this is when I(21M) meet her(19F), and I think shes gorgeous. I eventually work the effort to talk to her, and we become ok friends for about a week or so. During this time she would always message me and one time we stayed up until 2am in the university rec room just talking. This felt pretty damn good, for once it felt like somebody actually wanted to know about me, during this time she even looked up my house address and parents facebook without me even telling her their names, anyways a few days or aobut a week later she says shes going on a trip to visit her BF, I was devastated and cried, she says "that must be a punch in the balls, you had me mindfucked there for a while though, being in a LDR your always looking for something new etc" "i always had this mindset that this guy is great but I gotta tell him i have a boyfriend etc", even when I asked about her bio once(this is all on me however, I should of asked, I cried for other unhappy personal reasons aswell). It probably should of ended there.
But it didnt the next day I ask if she was okay if we were still friends and she says yes, she apologizes for not telling me sooner. We become pretty great friends, eventually we tell each other about pretty personal secrets, I tell her my high school experience, I tell her things I have never told anyone else in my life, like my suicide attempt in high school, she helps me explore some things about me like my sexuality, she even puts makeup on me which I love, and she reveals she also did not have the greatest high school experience and she has self harm scars, she later tells she SHs since she has a pattern of cheating in relationships; this only makes me feel more like a piece of shit and youll find out later. I genuinely for the first time in my life feel a purely platonic connection with someone. The nights where we sat by the pond for hours just tlaking about movies and tv shows filled my soul with so much warmth, I loved these moments I truly developed a platonic connection with her and cared so much about her. Shes in a LDR with this guy who I dont know(she later says she never brings him up because it makes me sad and I look away(should of ended then)), we begin hanging out quite regularly, I do some things I shouldnt have done at this time, I noticed she vapes and smokes so I begin to buy her vapes(she never asked me to), and I begin to vape and smoke cigarettes, she never asked me to, looking back this should not have happened, but I genuinely enjoyed seeing her happy and talking to her. She used to always say with the vapes "Now I have a reason to talk to you", why? Why would you need a reason to talk to your friend? It only made me want to buy them more.
Things start getting bad and she even mentions at this point shes likely emotionally cheating with me, which only scares me; that any day any moment any time this person who I genuinely enjoy and is my best friend could have to cut all contact with me, my mental health becomes absolutely horrendous due to this and this was always a very scary fear I had throughout all this,
I even tell her at one point it feels like im on a seesaw and im stuck and have to constantly battle catching feelings and keeping my only close friend. If i really cared about her it should of ended here, but it didnt, I should of stopped it. She begins to touch me, relativelly platonically(?)(Asking to bite me, biting me, rubbing my chest and carresing my arms) and sharing food, at first I sit there and dont touch back and sit there; I dont want to hurt her. Why would I hurt someone I care about? After a while I call her out on this and say like why are you touching me, I really cant touch back she says something along the lines of "I think im using you as a replacement for the lack of attention in a LDR", she later says she thought about it and I cant provide that for her and shes just showing her affection, but this continues, what was I doing wrong? Why cant I provide that?
Eventually I convince myself its after alot of weeks that its platonic and I touch back with the same things the arm on the shoulder, the shoulder rubbing etc. We would have smokes together roughly every night which would usually be hidden in a stair enclave where we would hug each other etc. One of her responses during this time when I mentioned how bad it would look if somebody saw us doing this she said "It would be worse for you"?? How would it be worse for someone who is not known to be in a relationship?? My self esteem was the lowest it has ever been in its life, I told myself that perhaps one day things would somehow magically change. Someone finally seemed to really like me?
Eventually as you could imagine things escalate, this involves her sitting on my lap once(forward facing, saying inapprioate things etc) in her room, her letting me rub her thighs and do her hair and rub her feet and bare legs. I should of cut contact but she was the only person who knew me, and understood me in my life. I didnt want to hurt her, I didnt want to hurt myself, but I did both. The big event happens just before Christmas, we go out and we cuddle for a while in the backseat of my car where she asked if we could cuddle in the backseat, then we head back, while in the car prior she shows me lewds on her phone(I showed her a lewd of mine prior), we both get buzzed then we go out to the pond and were looking in each others eyes holding each other and she asked to kiss my cheek, I say sure, she kisses my cheek and my chin just below my lips, which makes me feel euphoric then says "You know it would still be platonic if I let you kiss me, then I wouldnt actually be kissing you",
I wanted to so very bad, I wanted to with my whole being, I lean in, lean out before eventually saying "you have a boyfriend, If I kiss you your going to hurt yourself and I dont want to hurt you", she says "wow you have more morals than I do", "must be because your older etc" and tries to move on from it fast and dance with me, well I emotionally break the fuck down like you've HURT yourself because of this for fuck sake, she says "I didnt want to kiss you, I love my boyfriend, even if I broke up I wouldnt want to ever date you, you have too much baggage", "if we kissed I would block you and stop talking to you", the person who just asked me to kiss them, the person who has been biting me and touching me for weeks wouldnt even date me? Would block me if i did what she told me to do??? This absolutely destroyed me. I didnt know what to think. I basically had to yell at her and ask her "Why did you just try to kiss me." anyways this ends with both of us crying, her saying "I dont know what to do with the love given to me etc" me almost puking and eventually with me consoling her.
The next day we go get yogurt and I say shes my best friend and we simply need strong boundaries because I dont want to hurt her. If I should of stopped anytime it should of been now. I buy her a Christmas present and things end ok, breaks go by and im mentally gone, im at the lowest I've ever felt in my life, I feel insane, depressed, just psychotic. She messages and we talk everyday of the break(s), we say how much we miss each other etc, shes my buddy she really is, she knows everything about me, I know alot about her, and shes honestly my best friend, and I loved talking to her, she always would be there for me, I really appreciated her, we had alot in common; but I was hurting extremely bad, I felt like I was in a awful position. Anyways we return from the break into the new semester and I feel like im being used, I feel like a doormat, I feel like dirt. Things escalate here, I help her code and give her anything and everything she needs to succeed, I loved watching her succeed, because shes my best friend y'know? Anyways things get pretty bad, and we hang out alot, we always hug and I play with her hair and share our food and were pretty close, at one point I kiss her cheek for a week before realizing thats weird and made her uncomfortable and stop it, there was a week where she would cuddle with me in my bed and I moved her hand from my chest once saying stop I dont want to hurt you, she would say how happy I make her and we would rub our faces together and rub our noses together, we would watch shows together and I would rub her legs and put my hand around her. Looking back now it makes me feel sick and gross and confused, I convinced myself it was platonic.
I would pretty much be repeating often during any intimate event "I dont want to hurt you; I dont want to be the person to hurt you.", but it made me feel so very good, how do I navigate this? She would say I was the highlight of her days, the highlight of her semester, how sad she was I graduate soon, how she wishes I was in her grade, how im not a chore to talk to or hangout with. I certainely didnt fully stop these physical actions now because I was selfish, because I was ignorant. She would rub my head as we drove and put her arm down my shirt and while I was driving, etc. She would often also say "Why havnt you killed me yet...you must hate me etc." but why would I? She was my closest friend I ever had in my life. Things get super bad here, we head out and I buy her a vape(she did not ask) and we have another tough conversation about things, with the usual, "Im not breaking up with my boyfriend but your so lovable" and I get super emotional and hurt,
I really didnt want to hurt anybody. Anyways I get drunk; shes sober, and she lets me into her room a hour later as we were going to go see live music and she sits on my lap again forward facing and non-platonic things occurred, it doesn't go as far as sex but a line is crossed and we both immediately stop, but she cheated; I hurt her. I hurt her bad. I never wanted to hurt her. I never wanted to hurt anybody. The guilt is beyond anything I ever experienced and I cant even understand how she feels. She downplays it, I almost cut myself because of the shame I felt that night, the next day im crying really bad to her and tell her she should probably tell her BF if she really loves him, she says "ok i will, he will still love me tho" "doesnt this scare you? I fuck around" "this guy called me cute the other day" "you deserve better" , I then tell her not to tell her BF, because im scared and didnt know what to think to do. I should of not stopped her and walked away then. We stay close friends for around 2 weeks after this event with a bit of contentation afterwards. There was a time I got super emotional and basically told her I wish there was a camera or a third party watching this to see what you were doing to me with all this rubbing and cuddling and affection, which made her pretty much storm away from me and me saying sorry im wrong and begging her to just talk and I have a panic attack. Eventually she realized because of a outside voice that she had to tell her BF(her roommate walked in on us as that event in her room was done unfolding) , she said her BF broke up with her and she needed space, me being a selfish asshole was unable to do that, I didnt want someone I cared about harming themselves because of me, she stated the day prior she was "going to get whats coming to her" I wanted to be there for her more than anything, I get extremely drunk throughout the week and I send her messages about how absolutely terrible I felt and how much she meant to me and of selfish ideals, I then saw her outside and ran up to her, she ran away and she couldnt even look at me.
The next day she said that was unacceptable, which it absolutely was, and even before that event she didnt see room for friendship since it was never"real", what does that mean? I still dont understand it, how was it never real? She then blocked me, said she would call the police on me if I approach her again. she would still absolutely avoid me even 2 months after.
During that time after I tried to apologize, I tried to make amends, I tried to give my closure, I tried to seek closure, All met with disgust, hatred and anger. She would literally will sprint away from me full speed as I stand. She stayed at a event I was presenting at and looked away from me for the whole hour, then very obviously took pictures of me then sprint away full speed as I sat there. That hurt me beyond belief. I never in my life had someone dead sprint away from me like im a monster. I dont know whats wrong with me or why she would think I would hurt her after everything she knows about me, after everything, but I dont blame her. She said she was sorry for her decisions before this and I had little to be sorry for, and gave me a blanket "im sorry for my decisions" but how do I have little to be sorry for if I was treated as im a abuser? I should hate her guts, she even said she led me on, she knew how bad that would hurt me, she dangled happiness infront of my face for months, she ruined my senior year, shes filled my brain with pain and resentment and betrayal, she caused me to become ostracized, to become an outcast. I never felt that low in my life, I never felt that extreme level of emotional pain. I honestly feel forever damaged. But for some reason I still have this deep care for her and I shouldnt, I still hope with all my being she passed and succeeded. I hope shes okay. If she fails or hurt herself over this I dont think I could ever forgive myself. It feels like she trusted me and I betrayed her, but I dont know.
I can't stop thinking how scared and confused and sad she was on the last day we talked, how can I forgive myself for doing that to someone, it haunts my dreams and beats me to my knees everyday. I was usually very sad when i was hanging out with her. And if she for some reason forced herself to do those things with me because she felt bad for me then I don't know how I can live with myself, I never asked for those things, but I should of stopped them, I knew they were wrong, Im sorry.
Its just so unfair. Why not just leave me alone why put all this into my head even after I told her how bad this would hurt me. If im not the bad guy then why put the image of someone in my head sprinting away from me like im a monster. There has to be something im missing, I dont understand how you can move on from something like this. The closest friend I ever had dead sprint away from me, the person I would talk to every single day for 5 months straight absolutely hates my guts and my whole being. I dont want to try anymore. I gave it all the little I had.
Im not a victim, im not a saint, I didnt stop my actions, I played a role and Im forever sorry, I lost someone I cared about and someone who maybe at one point actually cared about me. Im sorry. I dont know how to view this. I just want someone to talk to and someone to understand me, I just want someone to tell me I wasnt blind, for someone to tell me this doesnt define me, for someone to say your going to be okay, because as of now im 2/2 for being hurt badly in a relationship(I dont even know what to call this), any insight I get online I always have to type in "ex" to get relevant results which only makes me more confused. She couldnt even wish me happy birthday or give me the present she bought me, i spent it all alone. I graduated college months ago, I have a ok job lined up which I hate.
I have a not so great home life, I dont know what to do with myself or how to live with myself after all this, why would I do this to myself, why do I struggle forming connections? why do I hurt people I care about? It felt real to me. I now talk to maybe 2 people, im bisexual and live in the middle of nowhere and have nobody. I dont want to talk to anyone ever again. Theres more to it perhaps, she used to always say " i hope im doing him more good than harm etc" but i dont know how leading someone on who has emotional trauma helps them, maybe we both should of left each other alone. I really did like talking to her, and liked hearing what she had to say, but ill likely never talk or see her ever again. I dont want to go down this road again. I dont want to hurt anybody. I have panic attacks when I would go to her hallway or if she saw me. It felt like i had to document everything I did. I feel like a weirdo loser. I constantly breakdown. I spend most of my days sleeping and waking up feeling immense internal guilt and hatred and pain. Anytime I tried to talk to someone about this i was seen as estranged and disregarded, the only thing I could of done was tell my side with proof and videos, but I dont want to hurt anybody. but it so unfair; im tired of only knowing pain.
If you read all this then I deeply appreciate you, I dont know why I cant understand what happened.
TLDR: OP(21M) meets (19F) after self isolating from abuse for years, she reveals she had a long-distance boyfriend. Despite agreeing to stay friends, their relationship blurred boundaries, involving deep emotional sharing and physical affection. This led to emotional cheating, exacerbating his mental health issues. When their physical interactions crossed a line, she eventually told her boyfriend and cut off all contact, leaving the author devastated and guilt-ridden. Now he grapples with intense guilt, isolation, and a sense of betrayal, questioning his actions and struggling to move on from the experience.

Why does this Kendrick vs Drake thing is a lot deeper than we think?
I know Drake is a petty Scorpio and We have seen Kendrick as a true form Gemini. This entire beef feels more than just culture vs vultures. I feel the real hidden agenda is arising with even who the next generation of kids, artist and who of the music game is going to be promoted and shown. Of course we have the good and bad everywhere but the real “control room” or “manipulators” of the industry are about to be brought to light.
I saw a reel of a dude saying Kendrick verse on Beyoncé song “American has a problem” was Dot already targeting Drake and UMG. UMG is of course damn near owners of everything in the music business and a lot of artist don’t like it, even relating to drakes 9 figure deal.
Some say Kendrick aligning with Hov and Bey is that he is ensuring he’s cemented in the game along with doing songs with Taylor Swift. Aligning with the top business people/artist and the biggest American artist is to save all artist from being taken advantage of in a game where it was always allowed. Some say Drake aligning with the young artist wasn’t by choice or could be to continue to eat off everyone’s work and bring the bag back to the vultures.
I didn’t dive too deep but on the surface level I don’t think Drake is done just yet. Sza is team dot and Sexxy red is team Drake. Kendrick named S.R. in euphoria, claimed Drake abs were made and said sweet chin music in not like us. Well since the song “U my eveything”(which I think is a horrible song) S.R. Had a Drake feature immediately, where he mocked the BBL stuff and she’s then seen with Shawn Michaels. Sza said basically leave her out the beef but she did post Dot on her social the other day right after “U my everything” dropped. Sza is by no means a saint but she does make soulful music that in a sense “electrifies” the listener. May it be emotional, physical, sexual or sensual. Sexxy red brings out the energy to not make good decisions, being not liberated in who you are but what you do. Which may be called “pacifying”. they’re both total opposites. Some what like Kendrick/Drake, UMG/Independents, Born in it/Idolize from it.
I make that example above because outside of the music industry slowly sucking the creativity and the structure of the culture being confused. The grand scheme of things is to find a way to stop the overly sexualized, mind loosening and not mind tightening product that continues to be produced. Toxic love, being a hoe, you my opp, always on sight, drug infested and ruin your morales-like context of music, videos, social media post and entertainment. No one is being mentored to bring out art with the high rate of artist we are exposed to all the time. You get a buzz and now we sign you and own until you fall off or die. Rarely does any artist get a second deal. On the other hand give more freedom but select and choose artist to produce greatness. Basically bring back the A/R and development team without the back handed contracts and deception.
Of course, you can bring up stuff like sick agendas in the background, The knife in the back relationships, and the Hand in pocket contacts. But do we really want every person to believe they can make it big because they only know how to speak on the nasty side of the culture. Do the people who love hip hop and what was birth from it to be diluted or filled with hoe, drug, money, car, clothes, sex and killings? Back to sza she has a bbl but she’s not a spokeswomen for it though she embraces her beauty and personality as a woman. S.R. Has a natural body but wants to be the top hoe, wants to give herself to anyone and leads a group of people think the same. She the spokeswomen of that culture. I feel Drake/UMG are gonna take advantage of everythings possible the industry can give them and all while Kendrick is trying to stay ahead of this industry to be still show you don’t have to sell an image to only sell yourself because someone told you so. If Sexxy was able to do what Doja Cat did the I wouldn’t be writing this. Turning a Trash world troll song and making Amazing buzzing next level songs into albums and art. Not this repetitive bs.
But anyway,
I feel like I’m rambling on now. So if you made it this far, thank you! Let’s have a discussion and speak on this further, if you so choose. If I’m bugging tell me I’m bugging.
Ps.
Kendrick made himself a martyr but I think he has transformed it and is ready to let us all know what was never told. It’s either Red or Blue pill, quick and easy or hard work /dedication , Microwave or Oven, remain the same or free the mind, and lastly see hear and speak no evil or reveal the light.

OKAY HELP I just remembered some random video on YouTube back around 09-10 roughly. It was just a heap of videos of this couple they put together with a song over most of it.. they were probably like 16.. THATS ALL I CAN REMEMBER BUT I NEED TO FIND IT! The were a real couple just doing cute shit. I remember looking back a few years later and everyone said they had broken up. But can’t remember the name of the song, pretty sure this song had more views than the music video? But back in that age that isn’t saying much.. send help..

So I figure a good start is to say I'm not to educated on the topic of "houdini" but if it's confirmed it's an album then sweet this can be ignored ig but to me that sounds like the name of a single, albums, especially eminem albums are rarely titled with one word, eminem having 15.68% one worded titles based off of the album listing on Genius that's 8 out of 51 and I'm aware the guy hasn't dropped 51 albums, many where singles or other things but I'm not gonna count all that, but ik there was that guy who (allegedly, as I said idk much abt this specific drop) faked all the promo stuff and idk if that includes The Death of Slim Shady, I know that was a big thing, so I just thought I would make it known if it wasn't already, if the next thing to come out is titled houdini then it is likely a single which I personally would not prefer, although I'm like positive The Death of Slim Shady is the official title, if so this can be disregarded ig

Judging Criteria (as per last year's): 1. Professional judges and SMA Organizing Committee (50%) 2. Album sales (25%) 3. Mobile voting worldwide (25%) - monthly voting contributes to the main voting as per SMA's current front page notice.
As per F&F CEO, an extension of two more years will be considered if UNIS wins the "Rookie of the Year" award.
I have a feeling this is not the only one with an award of this kind though. Please comment below if you have information regarding other "Rookie of the Year" awards.
