The cheek Madonna deserves it either way 🖤

This is a direct hit to Cor Lupus

You're the reason I decided to use black on a forum that has a dark mode x I blame you for any readability issues 😮

Another one I really love this month, inspired by FSR Rontvia and their many wonderful spoken-word entries. It's surprisingly melodic and sprawling with a delicious build 🖤

ARKISTO de NELIÖNOIR ◾ VOL IV ANTONY SZMIEREK 'FLIGHT SIMULATOR (FEAT. IMOGEN AND THE KNIFE)' ✈️ 09 OF 10 ◾ BJSC 189 ◾ AQ

Forgot to mention, thank you to @Lindsey. and @dhwe for theming the semi finals with their drawings, and @JSG for the unhinged Star Trek reindeer in the banner. Everyone who made something will be featured in both the semi finals and finale results 🖤

Thank you! It worked 🖤 Added a flash warning x

Bronzil’s back baby

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference

I randomised a few times, and considered changing it when I realised the split after finalising the thread. It’s always tricky x Blame Bre, when I told him my concerns he said “rig it to be even kinder to me” 😮

I would be absolutely sweating in the Barbie semi In theory everyone should be happy as they’re mostly with their usual blocs? 🙏🏻

Thank you! I'll add to the first post 🖤 And of course it doesn't want to attach nicely x

I usually find when a semi becomes too samey or one note, that is when you can stand out (although I haven't listened to anything yet) If you link me the correct one I'll change it for you x

One more little dose of Veet for everyone x 2NE1 - I LOVE YOU - entered four times previously, in LVI (31st), XVIII (DNQ), XXXVI (DNQ) and XLVII (13th). 3+7 - vetoed previously in XLVII. - the song is practically unsearchable on this site but spent 9 weeks on Multichart in 2012, peaking at #40. 7 - 15.9m streams - peaked at #1 in South Korea, #5 in Japan. 3

I don’t think I have been as obsessed with the production/final minute of a pop girlie song since 365 Melatonin is everything

Thread should hopefully be up today at some point 😮 The randomiser has either been very fair or very cruel this month, you’ll have to decide

Alik and her anal beads ate the final look but those first two were atrocious. Flesh devoured x I would rather another episode of Paris being a terror than watch sweet Anita look like a deer in the headlights whenever on screen
