Nathaaaaaannn Aaaaaarrggg! 

Holy crap

For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums. 

Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. 

Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.

This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it. 

When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever. 

Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.

I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. 

Sad and grossed out,

yeaah

New found respect for this woman:

I just got done watching Naruto Shippuden episode 431 and all I can say is: I have a new found respect for Karin. She went through so much shit and I actually wanted to cry while watching it. The episode gave off this ‘child sold into prostitution’ vibe and it was sooo sad. These people had no regard to the fact she was a child and used her. To see people have no compassion at all was just disgusting and sickening. Uzumaki women, no, Uzumaki in general, are incredibly strong beings. Fuck Sakura. Fuck SasuSaku shippers. What has Sakura really been through? Nothing. She was a bitch who wanted Sasuke as a prize. She’s had no hardship in life. Had two loving parents, was cared for and an ungrateful brat.

It was good to see that when Karin first saw Sasuke she didn’t fangirl over him. She was simply curious about him. Then she found out that was the boy that saved her and realized that she loved him. I could cry, man. I haven’t been this affected by an Naruto episode since the truth behind the death of Itachi and Sasuke’s parents. I respect SasuKarin shippers too. I never took a look into SasuKarin’s relationship until tumblr and their fandom definitely comes forward with good proofs and facts. Had it not been for the strong bond SasuNaru have and Kishimoto being a terrible writer, maybe SasuKarin could’ve happened. Karin wanted Sasuke to be happy above her feelings and was willing to help him archive his goal. She’s selfless when it comes to him, bro. That’s a ride or die chick right there. All in favor of Karin’s happiness?

That episode was sad as fuck..

Historia doesn't say boyfriend. It means both boy and girlfriend. No gender. I know it's easier reblogging and believing everything people post in the internet. But you should research some things before spreading false information.

And still, if you don't believe it. I asked a translator of the snk chapters (the chapters you probably read every month) and she confirmed it too.

Researches... lol.. maybe you should leave 4chan and try to research some things before writing others these kind of dumb messages.

Thank you very much!

My Top 15 Narusaku Moments

by mysterylover123

I never expected to like NaruSaku. When I first started reading the series, I was aware of the fandom’s big pairings (NaruSasu, Sasusaku, Naruhina) and I assumed they were the ones I’d enjoy. But reading the series, slowly, bit by bit, scene by scene, NaruSaku won me over, to become one of my favorite anime pairings. I’m sad they didn’t get together, but I still love the scenes they share, and reading fanfics and doujinshis about what could have been. Hope you enjoy this top 15 moments list!

#15. Ramen Stand Feeding Scene

What Happens: Naruto is injured and Sakura offers to feed him. He gets excited about this prospect, but they’re interrupted by Sai.

Why I like it: It’s this moment of intimacy between the two - kind of simple, but I like how Sakura initiates it and he blushes and accepts. Sakura is someone who likes taking care of other people, and Naruto is someone  who has never been cared for like this. They seem like a pretty perfect match.

#14. The Promise of a Lifetime

What Happens: Sakura asks Naruto to please bring Sasuke home. Naruto promises to do it, and this motivates him throughout the Retrieval Arc. Possibly much of the rest of the series.

Why I like it: It is not Sakura’s best move for sure, but it’s a sign of Naruto willingly putting her needs above his own, with no hope of her ever returning his feelings. It’s such a sweet moment of his promising her to bring Sasuke back, and seems to identify retrieving Sasuke as the barrier to them being together. I think he refuses to try and be with her until the end (or would have) because he wants her to choose him for him, not because Sasuke wasn’t available. 

#13. The 10th Question

What Happens: When answering the 10th question, Sakura isn’t sure if Naruto can pass, and is willing to throw away their chance this year to protect his dream of becoming Hokage. His resolve, however, inspires her to keep moving forward.

Why I like it: Sakura was willing to throw away her shot to protect Naruto’s dream. Naruto’s willpower inspires her to move forward, and later in this arc to cut off her hair and beat up the villains to protect him. They have such a mutually reciprocal bond. (Also, he liked her short hair, while Sasuke was said to like long hair. Symbolism much?)

#12. The Bench Scene

What Happens: Naruto, disguised as Sasuke, flirts with Sakura. She confesses her feelings and he realizes why he likes her so much.

Why I like it: Just as Sakura is feeling insecure about her ‘large forehead’, Naruto comes along and tells her he finds it charming and wants to kiss it. He’s attracted to the very feature she’s ashamed of. He likes even the parts of her she doesn’t like. And he empathizes with her need for belonging. 

#11. Naruto vs Gaara 

What Happens: Naruto finds the strength to defeat Gaara while fighting to protect Sakura.

Why I Like it: Got a real soft spot for characters finding their strength protecting their love interest. Here, Naruto is able to call upon strength he hadn’t known before and fight Gaara to keep Sakura safe.

#10. Love Confession

What Happens: To stop Naruto from dying for his promise, after hearing from Sai that he loves her, Sakura takes him aside and tells him she loves him. He believes she’s lying and shuts her down. 

Why I like it: Honestly, even though the story tells me her confession was fake, her blush and sheepish body language, along with all her attraction to and behavior towards him before this, convinces me this was real. But since it’s officially not, I’m ranking it a little lower. Still, it’s a full blown ‘I love you’, hard not to enjoy that. And I think she does love him, platonically or not. 

#9. Chunin Exams

What Happens: During the Chunin Exams, Naruto and Sakura both yell out their support to each other during their matches.

Why I Like it: Sakura’s able to beat Ino because Naruto supports her. Nobody at the time believes in Naruto to win, except for Sakura, who cheers him on. They’ve got each other’s backs.

#8. Minato Scene

What Happens: Minato sees Sakura healing Naruto and asks if she’s his GF. He says kinda and she doesn’t deny it. He says she reminds him of Kushina.

Why I like it: Naruto and Sakura don’t deny that they’re dating when asked. Minato notices that she’s similar to Kushina (since Naru wasn’t raised by Kushina, this doesn’t even have the potentially creepy ‘wants mom’ aspect). Instead it’s just ‘this girl could make my son a good wife’. It’s really cute. 

#7. Shippuden Reunion

What Happens: Naruto and Sakura reunite after a few years apart. They’re all grown up now. She blushes at him and he tells her she doesn’t look different.

Why I like it: Sakura finds him attractive now that they’re all grown up. He’s always found her pretty, so he says she looks the same. I wouldn’t be into the pairing if it didn’t seem like she was attracted to him too, but she clearly is right here. It’s great. 

#6. Yamato Line

What happens: As Sakura is healing Naruto, Iruka says the above rather ambiguous line, hinting that he was about to ‘you love him’ or something similar.

Why I like it: There’s some very well-placed ambiguity here, gently implying that Sakura’s feelings for Naruto are not platonic any more, or at the very least extremely powerful. 

#5. Someone Precious

What Happens: After training for a while to impress Sakura, Naruto happens on Haku, who asks him if he has ‘someone precious’ that he’s training for. He realizes he does.

Why I like it: This entire arc is so focused on how having someone in your life you care about is key to success in life (also the whole series). For Naruto, this is Team 7, predominantly Sakura at this point. She’s “someone precious” to him. (I also enjoy her helping him complete the task, and him complementing her strength. It’s sweet).

#4. Heaven and earth scrolls

What Happens: Iruka explains how Naruto has the ‘earth’ scroll and Sakura the ‘heaven’ scroll. They basically complete each other.

Why I Like it: I love pairings that are able to complete each other and encourage the other to do their best. This seems to be saying that Naruto and Sakura are two halves of the same whole and will make each other better together than they would be apart.

#3. CPR Scene

What happens: As Naruto is dying, Sakura in a desperate mood and determined to save him gives him CPR and pumps his heart back to life.

Why I like it: She proclaims that she wants him to achieve his dreams and pumps his heart until he revives. She literally holds his heart in her hand and presses her lips to his. She makes his dreams come true.

#2. Heaven and earth Bridge

What happens: Naruto goes out of control with worry over Sasuke. Sakura, feeling like this is her fault, runs over to him and is accidentally injured by Kyuubi. Later on, she lies to Naruto to make him feel better, but when he learns that he hurt her he resolves to try harder to control himself.

Why I like it: It’s a great scene of concern on her part for him, and it showcases his concern for her. I also enjoy the bit where he compliments her for her medical prowess and strength, but flubs it up by calling it ‘monstrous’.

#1. Invasion of Pain

What Happens: During the Pain Invasion, Sakura is desperate and calls out for Naruto. Once he saves the village, she goes up to him and hugs him (post tsundere moment) and thanks him.

Why I love it: It’s just sweet and simple. It feels like in this moment she really chooses to be with him, and shows her appreciation for him. He looks so happy and surprised at finally being hugged by the girl he likes, and it’s very pure. Even Hinata smiled at it, she seemed happy. I enjoyed it so much and it makes me smile.

AU where everything is exactly the same except Adam never turns into a beast and just needs to learn some manners

nice cosplay

Suggested by Anon

As u know, Chloe got pissed if we dont to side with her and blame us, so...Chloe force Max to do everything she want. Chloe is selfish, but I like her

I don’t understand. What the fuck happened in episode 4 that made people feel sympathy for the piece of shit that is Nathan? If we saw some regret, some actual justification for the problematic shit that he does then maybe, maybe I would feel a little bit of sympathy for him. But we didn’t. He was being the asshole he always is, assaulting people and bullying them. Finding pills on his bedroom and discovering that his father is an abusive asshole which we already knew he was, does not justify his behavior. Having a mental illness does not, in any circumstances, justify drugging girls at parties and doing God knows what with them. Nathan is not a fucking innocent. This guy is everything but innocent. He’s not a misunderstood child who needs help. He’s a piece of shit because he chooses to be that way. I don’t care if he was raised in a toxic environment. I don’t care if he has problems. Lots of people have problems. Lots of people deal with mental health issues and they do not drug girls at parties because they feel like doing so. And don’t tell me that shit “But, Jefferson is controlling him!” because the guy has to have some sense of what’s right and what’s wrong.

This fandom keeps finding excuses to justify his shitty behavior, blaming it on his mental illness and the way he was raised. Sorry, not me. This is exactly the kind of attitude the media has when it comes to mass murderers. To justify this person’s actions, they often portray them as people with severe mental illnesses. This is completely wrong because it is known for a fact that people with mental problems are more likely to be the victim rather than the perpetrator. People who blame Nathan’s actions on his mental illness are feeding a stigma that people with mental health problems have been trying to fight for years. So fuck you. I don’t feel sorry for Nathan, not even a little bit. This guy is a misogynistic, homophobic piece of shit. He constantly uses misogynistic slurs against Max and Chloe and he’s the very definition of toxic masculinity. To claim that his actions are justifiable just because he has a mental illness makes me fucking laugh. Mental illnesses do not “create” misogynistic pigs. That’s all Nathan, because he chooses to be that way and he doesn’t regret it. And what makes it even more laughable for me is that people actually ship this guy with Max. This guy who drugged Chloe and had a picture of her completely wasted and unconscious while lying on the floor. This guy who tried to kill Chloe and would actually succeed if it wasn’t for Max. This guy who has threatened Max’s life multiple times, treated her like shit, called her multiple offensive misogynistic slurs and physically assaulted her. People who ship Nathan with Max are a fucking joke. They completely romanticize this relationship because it benefits their misunderstood, damaged and poor male character, not worrying about whether that’s damaging for the women portrayed in the show. I’m sorry but last time I checked, having problems, whether they are mental problems or not, does not justify abuse or causing harm to others. You are basically shipping a male abuser with his victim, which is disgusting and would not be tolerable in real life.

Max/Nathan shippers are constantly putting Chloe down, calling her manipulative and problematic when Chloe was never one of those things. Chloe never made Max do anything that she didn’t want to do. Labeling Chloe as manipulative, problematic and abusive just because she went through a bad period one time and had her heart broken is a fucking shitty excuse. Chloe have gone through a lot but you don’t see her drugging girls or boys at parties. You don’t see her doing half of the shit Nathan does. However, she is constantly called on her behavior without doing anything at all because female characters are never good enough. But when there’s shitty male characters like Nathan, an abusive straight white boy who is the representation of the so called toxic masculinity, they are labelled as damaged and misunderstood and completely excused for their behavior because oh, poor guy, he has mental problems! 

Nathan is a piece of shit, everyone knows it. He’s not a damaged child who needs help. If this guy was actually a girl, nobody would like her or portray her as damaged. But since he’s a male character, suddenly all of his actions are excused because he grew up in a toxic environment and was abused, therefore, he has every right to abuse other people. Grow up.

Wut????

UPDATE: Wow, so this happened today SNK fandom.

Don’t believe me…? Well…….

In conclusion, I am happy to say fandom that I, Eren Jaeger am being endorsed by Dove. //shot

Is there anyway possible that my oc could have came from Marley without being one of the three ( Annie, Bertholdt, and Reiner ) titan shifters? And personally do you think a shy, humble, slightly anxious oc who is overcoming their anxiety ( basically similar to Armin) would be compatible with Eren? Thanks for all your help and I plan on submitting my oc soon.

yes! as i answered in another posted regarding marley:

just because she wasn’t chosen, doesn’t mean she is kicked out of the program. there are tons of warriors in the unit, but only a select few are chosen as possible successors for the titans.

going off of that, these candidates are top priority and have to be protected at all costs. the remaining warriors will be their protectors, and typically the cannon fodder in wars so that the candidates can stay out of harms way.

so just because your OC isn’t chosen to be a “titan warrior” she can still be a warrior.

now, referring to your pairing questions, i think an oc like that would work with eren. they wouldn’t connect right away, however, as eren can be really overbearing. he might try to give the oc an extreme pep talk that might end up scaring her more than helping aha. armin would be great middle-ground, helping eren learn how to control himself a bit more- and helping the oc understand that eren means well.   ×ROWAN
