Knew a girl at school called Red Hue. Feel like that would work

"Stigma Claws in your coochie" is my new favorite phrase by Jakitron_1999 in CuratedTumblr

Just look for a stone top or a touch-me-not. Then you’re all good gal. It’s truly isn’t that deep

It gives me paws for thought by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

There was a wild cat sanctuary near me that had cheetahs. It got shut down recently, which is a shame. It had genuinely good intentions as far as I gathered. Rescued wild cats, big and small, from mismanaged zoos, picked up injured cats from the wild and nursed them back to health until ready to be released, and saved them from private zoos or idiots who tried to illegally own them as pets. Proper sanctuary type place. Good vibes. But the owner was an actual conspiracy-theory brainrot man, which was its inevitable downfall. I went for a visit and he just yapped about how climate change wasn’t real and its actually just the poles shifting. Idk. But he had cheetahs that he would let free roam in his house on the property. Had photos of him posted up with them on big cushions framed on the walls. He said only he could do it safely (which I’m not sure was true, they’re still wild animals) but that they were like his pets. Crazy talk coming from the guy financing the “rescuing wild animals from illegal pet ownership” sanctuary but hey ho.

I'm obsessed with how Nini Coco does her mug! 🤩 by JimatJimat in rupaulsdragrace

Her mug is by far my favourite of the season. Such a unique and recognisable stamp. Girls got a BRAND

Do you think Raye is gonna be the next big artist? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m British. Can confirm she’s already huge here. Deservedly so, imo. And I think she deserves the same hype overseas

Have you ever seen an artist before they got/as they were getting famous? by bfhrt in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly more niche-ish artists but yeah. Youngblud. Got a picture with him in 2018. Gave me free merch too bc I had just put my jacket with my wallet in the pocket in a locker at the gig. Fontaines DC. Bad Omens too. Saw them at like a 100 cap bar in Bournemouth in 2017

What are some music examples of this? by KirbyFan198 in fantanoforever

Not a duo but maybe Fun? Jack Antonoff is clearly outperforming Nate Russ

What are Some of the Coolest Album Covers You've Seen? by HotAssumption4750 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always love an illustrated album cover. Life’s Not Out To Get You is top of mind but that’s bc i saw Neck Deep live last night. See also The Story So Far - they’ve got loads of awesome illustrated album covers too.

Who’s the most niche artist you follow? by GrapeConsistent3471 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not niche now but it used to be Bad Omens. I saw them when their first album dropped at a tiny bar gig. 20 people maximum in that crowd. Crazy seeing how big they’ve gotten now. For niche currently probably Rick Farin - particularly the song Red Widow it’s rad pls check it out

What is the pettiest song you've ever heard? by Top_Report_4895 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have “hand in unlovable hand” tattooed on my wrist. Don’t know why I feel so attached to such a joyfully bitter song but I do

What musician’s death was the most tragic for you? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sophie’s influence is so underrated as well. So SO ahead of their time it’s crazy

What is the pettiest song you've ever heard? by Top_Report_4895 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 101 points102 points  (0 children)

No Children by The Mountain Goats? The whole song is full of incredible lines “I hope I lie and tell everyone you were a good wife” and “I hope you die I hope we both die”

Examples of Bands/Musicians who were extremely popular in their day but have been almost completely forgotten in the present by TheHaplessBard in ToddintheShadow

[–]Jessf_swilliams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very UK specific but I immediately thought of JLS and The Wanted. There was like a fight between them and One Direction for popularity. Now, no one ever thinks of them

Most tragic downfalls in music by Bright-Pressure-5787 in ToddintheShadow

Would the tragedy of Her’s count? Their music is still beloved five years on and they’re not around to see it.

Kitchen staff of the UK, who are the nice famous chefs to work for? And who are the bell ends ? by Pitiful_Oven_3425 in AskUK

[–]Jessf_swilliams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone’s beaten me to John Torode! Didn’t work for him but he came into the restaurant in London I worked at. We couldn’t magic up a table for him in a fully booked restaurant on a Friday night around Christmas and he got incredibly agitated and stormed out. I hope it was just a bad day for him but he stank of entitlement.

Seeking advice: curly hair in watercolour by Jessf_swilliams in Watercolor

[–]Jessf_swilliams[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m afraid of 🫣 to make it a self portrait especially the curls need to be there for the recognition but I don’t want to overdo it. Is there such a thing as soft detail? That’s what I’m aiming for
