I'm praying this is right.
Praying.
But if it's not, I continue to resist

2/2 It sucks when your heroes that you admired let you down. It sucks when singers you genuinely think are good artists & people turn out to be...not that. I'm honestly sorry that some of you are losing a comfort singer/hero, because that is an awful goddamn feeling.

Especially in times like these

So. I am seeing a lot of Swifties (some becoming former Swifties) crashing over the new album. Saying that it's "out of touch", "childish", and "I'm beginning to see who she is and I don't like it". These are all actual quotes. And all I have to really say as someone who NEVER liked her... 1/2

So good news, it worked.
BAD NEWS. The app makes my iPad crash, and the videos look like Garbage. I don't know WTF happened with this fucking app, but my captions and videos ratio is all wonky now.

I might just upload everything to YouTube shorts at this point, because this app is garbage

This is literally a test to see if I can upload anything on Skylight. I have not been able to upload any video since the update in late August. So if y’all can see this, let me know.

Good news.
A bit of light for victims.
We needed this

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Thank you! ❤️ I am going to make sure I shared on blue sky when it's done.

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 4d

I am about to follow. I can't wait to read this!

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 4d

Thank YOU for creating her. Fo you have any other artwork involving her or fan fic?

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 4d

As someone who is writing some spicy Ghoul fan fiction right now...
This made me smile. I also love that she's my body type. 🥹 It makes me happy

Thank you @gcubedart.bsky.social for this post date-night gone wrong pampering with Cora and Cooper Howard 🩹 #Fallout #CoraVaultie #FalloutOC

Cooper Howard with a plus size OC, Cora, standing at a sink. Cora is running water over her bloodied knuckles while Cooper is smooching her opposite knuckles better. It's another date night and they're making eyes at each other

But if the last two albums of past hits means he might go on a legacy tour, I mean, cool. Because I would see him live again and pay for VIP because, gonna be real
ITS CHEAPER THAN FUCKING #THEBANDGHOST

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 5d

He also announced he is releasing a new album called "Hidden Gems" which is a collection of fan favorites of the past 25 years, versus "Gems" which were a collection of his picks.
And buddy look, I love you, but I want new music. 😭 The last new album was 2020, and...I miss having a full track list

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 5d

For anyone who cared who was following that thread of mine:
Josh Groban DID release a new song, called "The Constant". My boy has not sounded this fresh in a while. I liked "Open Hand" but this single, musically sounds more interesting.

You a hottie

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 6d

He should also release his cover of "You Matter To Me" from Waitress that he also did during that 2021 Livestream.

That I also, may or may not have.

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 6d

Also no, there's not an official release of that cover.

But yes, I have the Livestream audio of when he did the Valentine's Day online concert during Covid in 2021.

No, don't ask me how I have it.

Maybe if Groban doesn't want me to have a bootleg, maybe he should release it as a damn single

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 6d

Listen, drugs are neat I guess, but have you ever listened to "The Book of Love" as covered by Josh Groban and thought about your polycule and realized how surrounded by love you are and you cried about it?

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 6d

I wish I had something comforting and poignant to say.

Just know I support you from afar, and whenever I see you post, it makes me smile and I do always hope the best for you.

Callixta/Calix King @ckingwrites.bsky.social · 6d

I'm sorry T. I am sorry all this is happening, and all of you deserve fucking better.

One of the nicest people too. I had the opportunity to meet him a few times. How kind he seems really is how he is

LETS FREAKING GO.
I have all his albums, live concerts, and have seen him 4 times in concert. I even went to New York to see him in Sweeney Todd
