SABRINA CARPENTER Taste (2024)
Okay so I am actually kind of pissed abt this one. Usually cancellations I’m chill with but like this show was one of my favorites. Thanks a lot Netflix
This verse will forever haunt my soul I don’t think I’ll ever write something this good again
*pokes head out*
Okay, so does anyone remember the basically Avatar the Last Airbender renaissance? Where everyone started getting back into it, and there was even a playlist of AtLA musical numbers?
Yeah, Balance helped me get through my thesis when I was near-on breaking down. It gave me sanity for much longer than I would have had without it.
So. Since then, the creator has dropped at least three bangers, Top of my School, Price of Perfection, and Saving Face. They are Great. She's auditioned for Canada's Got Talent and actually made it to the stage (I auditioned for AGT twice and got nowhere close, so the fact that she got that far is astounding and pretty cool).
Now, she's making a short musical film. As per the introduction of their fundraising page:
Hello! We are a team of student filmmakers from Cornell University studying film production, media studies, and performing and media arts. We are currently fundraising for Cornell University film project Silence. Written and directed by award-winning student filmmaker Katherine Lynn-Rose, Silence is a short film that explores familial love, connection, and culture through the lens of a musical film. As a team of BIPOC filmmakers, we hold a deep appreciation for narratives that authentically reflect our lives, experiences, and cultures, and it is our aspiration to bring such stories to light.
Anyways. Fundraising. She needs funds to get there, and they're aiming for 2k. So far, they've got $450.
If you can't donate, can you at least spread this? Absolutely zero shame (cause I think she'd hate that anyways). I just think she's really skilled and think it'd be cool if she and her team gets to make a film. I'd like to see how they communicate their vision.
Anyways, here's the link. Bye!
I quite liked that book
Scraps - An Original Song By Me :3
my brother’s built firm of bronze, steel and gold he’s everything the kingdom wants blond, tall and broad effortlessly strong he’s everything that I am not my body was born of marble and stone my mind tends to always keep score while my brother was sculpted by gods and the trusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
I was built frail of a trail of pale little fragments the scraps of my creed hair of raven’s plume darker than doom with eyes that are greener than greed my body was born of marble and stone my mind tends to always want more my dear brother was sculpted by gods that we trusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
untrusted, unproven unwanted, unloved always a Raven but never a dove sure, he’s the solution he’s oh, so beloved but I’m still stuck
my friend is built thin of rose, gold and gin she’s sweeter than anything I’ve got blonde, tall and pretty effortlessly witty she’s all that my wicked heart wants my body was born of glaciers and thorns my heart puts my foot in the door while my lover’s hand-sculpted emerald encrusted I’m the scraps on the workshop floor I’m the foot in the workshop door I’m the scraps on the workshop floor
I made a little something something for one of my favourite Batman villains!

GUIDE TO THE MINDSET GLOW UP 🎀
♡ | positive mindset
easier said than done, but it has such a huge impact in our life. we as humans tend to always think negatively of everything, resulting us to give up. but what if it will work out? what we think constantly reflects in our reality and actions. why do we have to always blame ourselves for everything, why do we have to be anxious over little things, why do we have to always think of the worst when we can just flip the words, meaning, love and believe in ourselves.
- ways to have a positive mindset
the bus theory - when u see the bus that you missed u don’t actually run after it, right? you just wait for another one, knowing that it 100% will be here. think of your opportunities/relationships etc that you’ve "lost" as this bus.
the universe/god never says no; it either says yes , not yet or I have something better for you.
practice self-care, be gentle to yourself. you are waking up and always trying and it’s enough.
the moments you thought that are the "worst" are only moments now, and you’re still here. Be proud of yourself for that
a little rain doesnt have to ruin the parade
practice meditation. clean mind = better mood
journal journal journal (I’m going to make a post of journal benefits soon)
this absolutely doesn’t mean that you always have to be positive about everyone and everything. If you feel sad or feel like crying let it all out. if you feel drained allow yourself to sit all day and watch shows. it’s all about accepting yourself and not "I’m such a failure I did nothing today" instead "it’s okay, I have tomorrow where I can try again".
♡ | discipline > motivation
motivation comes and go, but discipline is forever. you are scared and not trying? It’s okay, do it while being scared. count to 3 and start doing something, take action. just DONT sit around. have a plan and don’t try to do everything all at once, or you will be easily drained . everyday do something better for 1% and you’ll see how just in a short while this 1% will be 100%.
a very good episode of mimi’s :
♡ | kindness to yourself is kindness to everyone
treat yourself with love and respect before others. everyone in this world is a human and I do not wish for you or them to spread hate. we all have bad days and this is exactly why we should so self-care or reach out to someone, but never blame anyone for anything.
you don’t owe anyone anything, but kindness and respect.
what you give is what you receive.
respect is not earned, disrespect is.
♡ | no one knows you better than you do
no you are not horrible for the mistakes that you’ve made. do you know what makes you horrible? not acknowledging them. if you wronged someone, apologize. even if it’s too late and the relationship is lost, I’m so proud of you for realizing your mistake and trying to do better. learn AND improve. accept yourself for all the pluses and minuses. you’re a crybaby? good because I’m too, and it’s absolutely okay. In fact, I think vulnerability is very powerful. you are human and you don’t have to be perfect. thrive for being better not perfection. do not listen to rumors or someone thinking that you are a bad person. you in fact know that you are not and it’s all that matters. why do you care if you are enemy in their story , they aren’t heroes in yours either.
insecurity is loud, confidence is quiet.
♡ | boundaries
to stay away from toxic people you have to have boundaries. I think the most common type here is "people pleasing" so here’s my post to help you to stop being one.
when someone does something that makes you uncomfortable, please let them know about it. you don’t have to tolerate this behavior. your own peace is the most important thing ever.
if they still repeat their actions then well … it’s time to say goodbye.
if you think that you will "lose" everything by setting boundaries please go back to the top and read the "ways to have a positive mindset" :)
watch youtubers, listen to podcasts etc to connect with people like you and improve your mindset alongside with boundaries.
here’s my list of my favs, but you can find waaaay more on tumblr
♡ | confidence
be confident, trust yourself, and never let anybody put you down. If anybody puts you down, it’s because they’re jealous. – Adriana Lima
do not compare yourself with ANYONE. the person you are looking at and saying "I wish I was her" might be doing the same. compare yourself with YOUR dream girl that you have in your head. your only competition is you.
after boundaries, positive mindset, discipline, naturally comes the confidence. loving yourself and staying true to yourself is what confidence exactly is.
no fake it till you make it, no difficult words, just you . take it easy.
♡ | tip: body language and fitness
this is more on the physical side but I advice you to learn a little bit about body language. It helps you to appear confident and attractive. my "go to’s" are entering the room with high head and good posture, never sitting on your phone (as in checking the weather app awkwardly etc not when someone calls or texts u) when coming to an unknown place.
fitness helps to relieve stress and clear out your mind when you don’t want to meditate. and by fitness I don’t mean intense workouts, a 5 minute workout that you enjoy is enough. also walking 10.000 steps a day also counts as fitness to have a healthy and balanced life.
I , for example, have a playlist with different workouts and I do each on of them on different days, whenever I feel like choosing one. sometimes I don’t even work out I just walk 7-10K steps :)
— the end ♡
in conclusion I just want to say ITS OKAY ITS OKAY ITS OKAY. You are fine. You are enough. Make mistakes, be sad, improve, be disappointed, try, love, learn, thrive. The purpose of this post is for you to understand that DONT exist , LIVE. Because life is worth living for. You were, are, will be okay.
“Blue” by yours truly 🥹🫶🏼
I’ve made myself small
Answered every call
Now here are we
Backs against the wall
I was once/am a yes, a people pleaser
“Helping” others I was more than eager
Agreed to everything to my demise
Now all I know I must criticize
I didn’t learn through all the pain
The emotional rollercoasters, the crushing shame,
That me myself I’m way too unselfish
Nothing I have, is anything I own.
I keep the peace that’s all I’m good for,
I can’t explain what I need or what I’m here for
Smile for everyone, and reach out my hands
But in the end, I’m always alone again.
Why do I bother, why can’t I live?
When every choice I make gets twisted to shit?
I drop all my cares, I’m like a stone to a river, living my life only to be disturbed by others.
My own emotions are at the wheel, yet they are held at gun point at every waking moment, smiling and staying quiet out of fear of being a disappointment.
When will it be my turn? Who controls the fight or flight? I’ll stay here, under the water, until the surface is in sight.
I’ve put myself last, just like everyone else.
How am I to know, when I don’t even know myself?
cool ❤
Knowingly
No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah... It was an accident It's just ignorance Didn't mean to do it, do it, no So I let it pass, roll off my back No reason to cry over and over But the tear stains on my pillow Tell me that I don't know how to really let this go
No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah...
Well, my broken heart is just collateral damage to someone's selfish tendencies Maybe if I spoke up Tell them I had enough, they'd listen to me But maybe they won't, and maybe they don't - They don't care what they do to me Listen Here
Shattered Mirror (Original Lyrics)
I stare at you as the fight begins once again
It’s the same thing over and over, almost like it will never end
Why am I the subject of your anger when I am not causing it
When we can fight the good fight, and both never lose
Your phone screen lights up, texts from him causing us both to cringe
You say “I am so over him”, but you told me that when you lost your cool
I watch you fade, little by little, knowing he’s to blame
But how can I stop you when you are like a moth to a flame
I know it isn’t fault, it’s just part of his twisted game
But I wish you would wake up, and realize that you aren’t the same
Your fire dwindles, his hand closing in around it
Can’t you just see for yourself that you need to take aim
Fire the gun and take back your own name
It seems a star has lost its light
How can you see out of those glossed over eyes?
Can you tell me how we got here?
Fighting over some douche who can’t even see over his own meat
I miss you so, so please don’t let him take you away from everyone who loves you so
No, this isn’t your fault, but please just see that there is better for you
Even if your curse yourself and call yourself names
You can’t stand looking at yourself in the mirror, so you let others break it
You catch fire when you’re most confident but you let yourself be extinguished
Just understand that the face looking back in the mirror is the only face you will ever have
So don’t let others change it for you
This probably goes back to your childhood
How your mother would do the same
That doesn’t mean you have to repeat the behavior and let yourself feel vain
Seeing you for you will be the best medicine
And help fix your ailing brain
It seems a star has lost its light
How can you see out of those glossed over eyes?
Can you tell me how we got here?
Fighting over some douche who can’t even see over his own meat
I miss you so, so please don’t let him take you away from everyone who loves you so
I’ve seen you stop this, over and over
And everytime you say it’s the last you go back to him
I believe in you so just let me know
No, this show will never be over
Who can you trust
oh oh oh alice oh oh oh alice oh oh oh oh alice oh oh oh alice oh
youre running 'round in circles chasing imaginary light oh alice who can you trust dear who can you trust
the caterpillar's misleading the cat cant make a choice the hatter invites you for a bite and the red queen she just might
oh who can you trust be careful not to lose your head your starting to go mad tryin' to understand who can you trust
oh alice who can you trust when this wonderful world is crying glass tears who can you trust
Youre going 'round in circles chasing imaginary light oh alice who can you trust
This false hope is no good your wonderful worlds cryin' glass tears who can you trust
youre losing your mind youre going mad trying to understand who can you trust can you even trust yourself who can you trust
the caterpillar's misleading the cheshire's not being clear the hatter invites you for a bite and the red queen she just might who can you trust
alice oh alice dear who can you trust can you even trust yourself oh who can you trust
who can you who can you who can you trust?
I love villain songs
Supervillain
I’ll be your supervillain I’ll be your bad guy If that’s what helps you sleep at night
Put the blame on me I’ll be your enemy The cause of all your pain and misery
And you’ll tell everybody I turned my back on you But we all know that’s just not true It’s far more complicated This ain’t black and white And I’m drawing a line in the sand tonight
Guilt is your weapon so I’m putting up a shield Won’t apologize for how that makes you feel Listen Here
This is really cool! People usually forget about her after the musicals over but you wrote a whole song!
I was researching the events of Hamilton and got really emotionally invested in Maria Reynolds, especially since we only see Hamilton’s perspective on her and the affair which somehow makes him out to be the victim. I understand that the musical couldn’t afford to spend any more time on her, but I wish she got more sympathy and respect. “Say No To This” was only one section in her life, after all. So I… just went ahead and…
wrote the lyrics for a whole Hamilton-style song about her life. As you do.
References to the musical:
The title (situated at the end of a line in the chorus) being an adjective referring to how Maria does and/or does not feel and related to her passion for Hamilton follows the pattern of “Helpless” and “Satisfied”, uniting the three “Me? I loved him” women.
Burr’s “the sinners and the saints” line in “Wait For It”, leading into how her life “takes and it takes and it takes”. Possibly foreshadowing of Burr’s significance in her life and her turn to religion in her last years.
“No one will read it” and “Burr, that’s why need it” in “Non-Stop”.
The ‘pawns’ line harks back to chess terms and references like “knight takes rook”, “stalemate”, “the sacrifices made in every game of chess” - Hamilton follows the chess players, Maria is just a pawn. A piece Hamilton is willing to sacrifice.
“I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal” in “My Shot”.
The “Alexander Hamilton” motif (all names are sung in their show cadences).
“Stay Alive”, the titular phrase of which is sung by Maria’s foil Eliza no less.
Eliza and Angelica repeatedly draw attention to Hamilton’s eyes being his most captivating feature that makes them fall for him in “Helpless” and “Satisfied”. So with Maria here it’s no different. She and Angelica both specifically sing that their situation is bearable because they can “keep [Hamilton’s] eyes in [their] life”, even if he’s truly Eliza’s.
Hamilton’s “I don’t want you” line in “Say No To This”.
The plea to “stay” both Eliza and Maria sing to Hamilton.
“Helpless”, another Eliza motif Maria borrows.
The “Aaron Burr, sir” motif. “…that I can, ma’am” is sung to the same tune, showing along with the title that Burr (a supporter of women’s equality) respects Maria as his equal.
“Say No To This”, in a proper reprise.
The “I am not throwing away my shot” motif.
“The world seemed to burn” in “Burn”.
“The Reynolds Pamphlet”, also a brief reprise.
“You lit my heart aflame” in “Satisfied”.
The “satisfied” motif.
The “enough” motif. Oh look, Eliza again.
Where are you going? Well, I don’t know, myself. Not much to say about me But it’s clear you have somewhere to be. You, Follow me down, follow me over Crossing the street into the dark With no sense for danger. You, Tell me you’re hurt. You see fit to plead. Why tell me don’t go When you’re first to leave? I, Take it all back I don’t pretend It’s not an attack No, this is the end. (This is the end.) You’ve got to be kidding me Saying you’ve got your demons You played yourself Saying we all have our reasons You, Follow me down, follow me over Crossing the street into the dark With no sense for danger. You, You don’t understand Pray, what do you think? Don’t know what you had But you’ve always had me You, Tell me you’re hurt. You see fit to plead. Why tell me I’m cruel When you’re first to leave? Darling, it’s true that we all have our reasons If I was cruel I would cut you to pieces. I, Take it all back I don’t pretend It’s not an attack No, this is the end. (This is the end.) (I don’t want to leave) (I don’t want to leave)
Cool
Hard Eyes
Call me your’s
Call me small
Call me pretty
Say it all
Call me your’s
Never mine
Call me ruined
I won’t whine
———
But I hear the cries of your people
They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop
They’re begging you for once please be merciful
You don’t have to be the one always on top
———
Say you’re sad
Say you cried
Say you’re frightened
That you hide
I see the hate
In your eyes
You are haughty
Full of lies
———
But I hear the cries of your people
They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop
They’re begging you for once please be merciful
You don’t have to be the one always on top
———
Call me bitch
Call me whore
Say I’ll never
Deserve more
Say you’re great
Full of wit
I won’t say you’re
Full of it

But I hear the cries of your people
They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop
They’re begging you for once please be merciful
You don’t have to be the one always on top
———
I’m betting, sir, that your father adored you
I’m betting, sir, that the servants deplored you
I’m betting sir, that the kingdom was yours
And all the bountiful riches it stored
I’m betting, sir, that you never knew pain
That you never knew hierarchy’s reign
Except of course, you are hierarchy’s god
You don’t spare the shackles, you don’t spare the rod
———
And I hear the cries of your people
They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop
They’re begging you for once please be merciful
You don’t have to be the one always on top

May your palace burn with you in it, your highness
My life is for my people and planet, their kindness

Dolly (Jolene's Response Lyrics)
So I jumped on that "Jolene's Response" trend and I made it gay. Is this something any of you would be interested in hearing?
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Believe me when I say I don't want your man
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Stealing him has never been my plan
-
I cannot compete with you
I was just something shiny and new
But you deserve better than that man
He was going to throw you away
All he wanted to do was play
But I'd much rather be with you
Dolly
-
You're the one I really want
And I really think that we could taunt
That pathetic excuse of a man
Dolly
-
I know what he means to you
But think about what he's put you through
Is he really worth it in the end
Dolly
-
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Believe me when I say I don't want your man
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Stealing him has never been my plan
-
Your love for him has made you blind
But I really hope that you can find
What really makes you happy
Dolly
-
I'm glad you had this talk with me
I understand, but don't you see
The last thing I wanna do is hurt you
Dolly
-
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Believe me when I say I don't want your man
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Stealing him has never been my plan
Dolly, Dolly
I like the second verse
I’ll come to you on a lavender breeze
Just close your eyes and you’ll see
When I’m holding you we are clean
And this is more than a dream
I’ll keep stacking up my two cents
Against the bills and the rent
So you can live in more than my head
I can’t wait to see you again
For now we’ll phone
When we should be sleeping
Hold onto hope
That this is the real thing
Oh, you’re my everything.
Yeah, I may have blood on my hands
I may be a broken man
Maybe I don’t know where I stand
But I’m finding home again
Please just let me rest
On the left side of your bed
Yeah, rinse the red from my hands
I love you without end
Oh, for now we’ll phone
When we should be sleeping
Hold onto hope
That this is the real thing
Oh, you’re my everything.
I’ll keep stacking up my two cents
Against the bills and the rent
So you can live in more than my head
I can’t wait to see you again
Please just let me rest
On the left side of your chest
Yeah, rinse the red from my hands
I love you without end
-Sweet Dreams on a Lavender Breeze-
