I fear we might actually be soul sisters… because I am an Obsessed Sail On Hater too  I feel like it’s a song that you cling to and end up stanning when you first get into her but then you become more acquainted with her better songs and it gets old very very quickly. Definitely my least fave on The Fool (but still better than anything anybody has released since!) 

Well hold on a second, even the weakest song on The Fool is still nice so I'm not a OSOH  But yeah I feel that. Actually, Promises fits that description perfectly for me. I was addicted to it at first but then it went down my album ranking as time went on.

I feel called out.  It was my fave on the Promises EP and a big inspiration for my then career-defining bop "Set Sail" during PH7 (well that, "The Fool", and Ryn in general), which in turn inspired my 2017 career Top 3 bop "Positano". The way I have Ryn to thank for 2/3 of my Top 3... her mind.

Awww cute 

[Better Mistakes]

This immaculate bop is actually over 500 words

@Aurora thank you so so so much for my review, I'm really glad you liked the song, and your kind words make me feel so motivated! And perhaps even more touched that you listened to some of Ness's stuff and liked it. Make sure to stream her best song if you haven't already  

 

 

This was cute, but "dying on the inside" and "i hope ur miserable until ur dead" are better, I fear.

 

Finally finalised my scores ahead of Round 2's results show. Still a few things to prepare, but hopefully we're on track for this one to go off without a hitch! Hints maybe coming soon-ish. Side note, I lowkey entered my Simon era with the scores this round; almost 0.3 points lower on average.  Let's hope the ATW challenge sees the acclaim soaring ✈️ again.

[Remmy]

me thinking of all the different songs I could write this round

 

[Aurora]

Hey Hitmakers, I know I said I was going to try and do hints but honestly I just wasn't feeling up to it. Instead, I wanted to share this poem I wrote. I know it's a little unconventional, but I think it's a bit of a cultural shift if I do say so myself!

“tilde”

I never underestimated the power of an asterisk,

and they should never underestimate an asterisk either

the percentage of asterisks here is unusually high,

why settle for one asterisk? have another asterisk

their power instead comes from profit,

an asterisk for them may also lead to profit

their power requires some afterthought,

their profit is marked with an asterisk,

and theirs is at the end

their power is twice as powerful as the others’,

and theirs is alone

their power is measured by the pound,

their power is very important!

while their power is great and true~
 

a lone afterthought,

a power in the 39th percentile,

an isolated power,

and a power combined,

form a percentile at the threshold

when the asterisk returns at long last,

another asterisk provides their power

their percentage of profit is fair,

while their percentage is powerful

their power is at its limit,

while their percentile is unmatched,

and their profit is not

one final, lonely asterisk,
an afterthought at last~

Really liked this, made me think of Borderline from Joni, but they're actually very different

I'm going to get some rest now, but live results are expected to begin at 6PM EDT (about 9.5 hours from this post). Hopefully Element will have some reviews for you also, and of course there are fountain's hints on page 65 if you haven't already seen those. Again, truly sorry I wasn't feeling up to doing hints this week, but I hope my poem shifts some creativity within you all for the ATW10MVTVFTV challenge!

Just finished my song x it’s about reborn and seeing yourself after a shitty period of lifetime x 520 words tho

It is a shame you couldn’t do hints this round. I liked your poem though. Oh well, I’m sure it can always be figured out. I’m excited for results.

ENDROPHY by Julia Fox 

(artwork actually painted by me and it’s a masterpiece if I do say so myself x)

 

Quote

A stranger that you thought you know, that’s what love was for me

used to dream with it, but never felt it under my skin

Always said 'when I will find what I'm looking for so long?'

But in reality it was always there, but I never knew it till today…

ya thank you queen, let me join you because life has been harsh later because my son said he wasn’t gay and i actually felt depressed if I do say so myself x smoking a blunt to start dissociating because life has no sense if my son is not gay 

[Better Mistakes]

Might submit a page from my MSc. Dissertation ‘cause I’m stumped and into mindless pop songs

Props to anybody who tackles the challenge in this form

 

We’ve been easy with it allowing people to write whatever they want, but personally this is how I envision and what I hope for this challenge, so anybody who does this gets my respect

This round looks exciting. Currently listening to American Pie for that lengthy inspiration

I don't know how I'm going to do this entry and not have it sound like a high schooler stating what could be said with 5 words in 30 words just to meet word count.

OMG shut up at you doing Elio @Jackson
