The Voice - Tumblr Posts

😲👍

I still think about this video sometimes…

He plays with his

WHAT?

You know what would be really cool? If his motives for driving stonekeepers insane and stuff was not for serving a different species (looking at you, you creepy ass shadows) but something more malicious.

TW: Genocide

Lemme explain, so in my headcanon I thought the Voice caused people to go mad and become monsters to cause destruction but only to their own species or people protecting them. This is because the Voice wants a superior species living on Alledia. Other previous species have gone extinct by previous stonekeepers that lost themselves and unknowingly genocides their own people.

The Voice is like a toxic parent to Alledia, wanting the best for it but in its own twisted ways. I also headcanon humans to be rare in Alledia because of the curse that turns some into animal-like species (that Ikol still doesn't like) and also because of other human stonekeepers the Voice had turned mad. The Voice will only accept a species he thinks is best for Alledia, to preserve its planet while also having lifeforms in it.

Also, each species in Alledia isn't native to the planet at all, because the motherstone was the one that created the portals to other planets that other people went into. And after pieces of it was borrowed the motherstone grew weaker until the portals started to close. Ikol as a part of the motherstone became well, the voices to every stonekeeper and corrupted them to turn on their own kind. And when all the stones have been released from their deceased masters, the motherstone will join again and open up the portals leading to Alledia, thus restating the process of finding a superior species... until a certain group of shadows came in secret

And that's basically how I would've written Ikol, just a picky and evil spirit of the stones that manipulates and watches over the planet until it finds a species it prefers on it. Almost like a collector of toys that throws away stuff they don't want later on until it finds something they favor and decides "welp, I don't wanna play with theses anymore" *throws away rest of the Alledians.

I wished he was more interesting to the story but alas, he's was a servant to the shadows and probably isn't gonna be fought or anything. But he could've been scarier, he could've been like a villain you get anxiety from every time they're on screen. He could've been a nightmare to deal with, just not in the annoying way

Any thoughts on Ikol? He’s a bit confusing to me

*grasps your shoulder* I don't get Him either.

Controversial thoughts below:

The Voice is unnecessary as a character.

Unpopular af opinion I know. The Voice was a charismatic character and pretty much the lynchpin on why Emily came to Alledia but listen. He's a tumor on the story. There can be another alternative that could push her to go to Alledia. If he was done well then maybe yes he could've been the horror and mystery factor the story had but no. More often than not he's pretty much the default reason why characters get absolved of their actions bc "wah they were influenced by the Voice that's why he was pushed to transform into a giant" wenk wenk that's kinda boring I say. Where's the agency. He's basically just a really loud conscience/impulsive or intrusive thought turned into an entity. People already do that themselves. Like the entire premise is already terrifying enough on its own. Idk. Maybe it's bc I'm already viewing it as an already older person lens that I can't seem to incorporate the more lighthearted part of the kid's fantasy but seriously. A dark entity can make things interesting I guess but ngl people can already be horrible people on their own. No dark spirit required. It's already about war and tyranny. It's already about putting power and responsibilities and blame on already fragile shoulders. It's about adults who failed children. Wouldn't be more interesting if they focused on characters with autonomy who fucked up and then explores on how those mistakes affect everyone else.

Agh fuck I know the story is also trying to discuss abt fate and choices and whether or not a person has the freedom to make those choices and actions and it's about defiance against that helplessness, but my main complaint about the characters is that they have zero fucking agency. They don't push the plot at all. The plot just happens. It's so ironic for a series that's supposed to be a celebration of that defiance have a protagonist that is only is what she is and does things she does because she feels like she has to be and has its entire plot crumble in on itself by characters that are treated not as characters but just paper maches. What then.

Ah, yes. THE post that led to the ICONIC post after this. 👆

Ummmm guuuuyss.... The moment when he's giving advice to Ross about not using his grit at the very start and the he sang for like 1 second but WHAT THE FUCK HIS VOOOIICEEEEE....I NEED HIM TO HAVE A SONG THAT ALLOWS HIM TO SOUND LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS SO FUCKING HOT I CAN'T GET OVER IT I REWSTCHED IT LIKE 10 TIMES

.... Which is this. And this, then led to... 👆

okay but...Selena Gomez as Alex from Wizards of Waverly Place is the perfect young Regina Mills

; Vampire Empire by Big Thief gives me autism vibes. And maybe I'm just autistic but like. I love the song. Especially the " You turn me inside out, and then you want the outside in. You spin me all around, then you ask me not to spin. You say you wanna be alone and you want children. " and honestly js the whole song .. It has other meanings ik which also relatable .. But also autism. ✨

'The Voice' Has No Voices!

Has anyone noticed that none of the winners of Fox’s hit music competition, ‘The Voice’, are going on to be the next pop icon or one-hit wonder star? I don’t know if it’s because I’m simply fed-up with mainstream radio songs on repeat or the fact I had to…

Chasing after you is like a fairytale // But I feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel

This is the first song I ever heard of Melanie’s.  I’ve been a fan since the Voice and I’ve always been intrigued by her unique artistry, and I was not let down with this song.  I love the mix of carnival music into this song, while still making a really cool, catchy alternative pop song. This song was also the theme song for AHS Freakshow, if anyone was wondering.

Too many people have skipped over the death of Christina Grimmie.  She was one of the first people who paved a way for being a successful musician off of YouTube, and was amazing on the Voice.  I was lucky enough to be able to see her in concert just a few days before she died. She has such a pure talent and had a heart of gold.  This song showcases her amazing talent in piano playing, songwriting and singing.  Still super sad from this tragedy, but I know that she is in Heaven right now.

RIP Christina, you are missed.

I didn’t know I lost it all // Didn’t know I’d break and fall // This isn’t who I’m meant to be // There’s so much here that I’ve found missing

I am absolutely in love with this song from Juliet!  I’ve been a fan of hers since The Voice, and this song is exactly why.  She has such a powerful voice, while also portraying so many different emotions all at once.  These lyrics are absolutely beautiful, and her voice just adds to that. I also love that the acoustic version is the version on the album because it’s so raw and pure.

You like me best when I’m off my rocker // Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed // So what if I’m crazy? // The best people are

Love this song from Melanie!  This song has such a cool industrial vibe, while still keeping true to her kid-like nature in her songs.  She’s so good at writing lyrics from a completely metaphorical viewpoint, and this song highlights that perfectly. 

Liar, liar, don’t cry on my shoulder // You played with fire, and you smiled when you told her

Super disappointed that the Grammy’s did not add Christina Grimmie into their tribute, so I thought I would do my own tribute. RIP Christina.  You are not forgotten. You are loved and missed by many.

I won’t be invisible...

RIP Christina. You are not invisible, you are not forgotten. You are remembered by your fans and immortalized in your music. #cgforever
