A while back there was a different post floating around mocking a different booktok romcom type of book (my university refers to it as chiclit which I personally prefer most but anyway) in which the premise, I believe, was that the main character was a ballerina and her love interest was a personal trainer, I think? And it was forbidden for them to be together?

And I'm trying to articulate why to myself that book was cringey and made me roll my eyes but the plastic dress crow boy book doesn't when they're both being absurd in similar ways, specifically world-building indulgently.

I think the main difference is that in the ballerina book the world-building is just so obviously contrived so as to fabricate the forbidden love since the main character and love interest are, in the real world, a completely standard and expected boring white cis hetero conventionally attractive couple. And there's just something boring and tasteless about this whereas all of the world-building in the plastic dress crow boy book feels indulgent, sure, but none of it is designed to provide the fantasy of manufactured adversity to readers who have never had to experience real-life stigma for who they choose to date lol. The plastic dress crow boy book's world-building is just indulgent and fun and whimsical for the sake of it. Just cause. And this makes it delightful instead of annoying the way many booktok/romcom/chiclit type books are to me.

When I was in like kindergarten I made an oc named Lollydog who was a dog made of lollypops. She(?) was a sidekick to some superheroes and she defeated their enemies by feeding them poisoned lollipops (only way I could think of that a lollipop-themed character could be helpful in a combat situation). Look at her ⬇️

I love her

the thing is depression was never destigmatized the narrative just switched from “no one has depression you’re just using it as an excuse” to “everyone has depression you’re just using it as an excuse”

somebody should start an organization that pairs people just getting into a piece of media with someone who's already a fan and has watched/read/played the whole thing. many times now i've started playing a game or watching a show and thought "man, i really want to see fanart and jokes but i don't want to see spoilers by scrolling through the tag william nilliam". many times now i've thought "man, i really enjoyed that story and i want to experience it again through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time". do you see my vision

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there's this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they're from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They're so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

i'll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

Haven't seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she's the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She's from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she's also a live DJ at 19!
