I'm working on relearning how to have private, pointless hobbies - it's a joy and a freedom and a freeing up of energy that I've not felt for a long time. I'm coming up with a character for my new doll ATM, and trying to make it as consciously teenage as possible, like, a real bishie fanon Draco Malfoy dark elf prince who's bisexual and sarcastic or something, the sort of thing you write when you're 13 without any shame and what I'm saying is the world could benefit a lot by relearning that sense of shamelessness and joy and self-expression. Why did we ever get to shaming Mary Sues as something negative?

WORD and I say this as a massive fan of pop music. Why is pop music bad music? Because teenage girls like it (and also, beyond that, gay men and middle aged women).

Britney Spears. ABBA. Lady Gaga. t.A.T.u. Uptown Funk. Boney M. the Spice Girls.

These songs make you want to DANCE and FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, that's a kind of magic.

Bonus mode: gradually talking about Beyonce in ways that imply she is not pop, because she's sophisticated and political now. Can I dance to it? Does it make me feel good? Does it fill the dance floor? It's pop, stop dissecting something perfect and DANCE.

In many ways, I think it's about the fear of feeling these men (and it is always men) have - a hope that they can remain detached and analytical and deny themselves what is really music's most profound gift to us. So I think when they hear that shimmering glissando at the beginning of Dancing Queen, and like, really the sheer power that sound has to immediately make you well up, or make a room feel suddenly like they're 17 again - they're afraid of that.
