I did a few versions of songs on Suno where the Djinn Queen Seduses the Blümchen-Wannabe girl's boyfriend. Some are better than others. I tweaked it a number of time.
I did it in Bilingual Greek & English. (I'm off & on studying Modern Greek, because we want a dream vacation in Athens... maybe)
There's different versions of the Lyrics, n some are better than others.
Apparently, I Photoshopped the side image.... with my Nightlight (blue light protection) on... which is why it STILL SUCKS.
This was for the Butterfly Collection Metaphor (since I find metaphors work exceptionally well in this story concept).
I made a Playlist JUST for these SONGS, including the German Schlager ones: HERE.
This was SUPER INFURIATING & FRUSTRATING on ALL A.I. platforms. I think I worked on this 4 3-4 days, and even started it BEFORE I started the songs.
My Suno Djinn Queen & Blümchen-Wannabe Playlists HERE & HERE.
Basically, this was a Metaphor of a "Butterfly Collection", which is often a blend of art & science/biology, often framed & encased in glass, then mounted on a wall.
In her hand, the Djinn Queen is holding a Butterfly (whcih is dead) and gesturing at the framed Butterfly Collection, at the empty spot within the frame, where it will be placed. THIS represents the Blümchen-Wannabe girl character. Inside this frame is supposed to be 1 larger butterfly, then 10 more, which completes the full 12!
This style of collecting specimens, often insects or other arthropods, means u must kill it, then pin it, into the frames background. This also reminds me of THE BORG from Star Trek. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED!
On the wall, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEON SIGNS OF SILK MOTHS which is SOME of the images did render out... but it was SO BAD, or the A.I. deleted the image for CENSORSHIP REASONS... NO IDEA WHAT THOSE REASON WERE, THO'...
The A.I.s were incompetent at figuring out THE MATH, and often acknowledged that it fucked up. ChatGPT would at least spit out a written explanation, if asked, multiple times, only to KEEP ON DOING THAT, even tho it gave me "Tips" on how to fix it, and told me it could, but never did.... and OH LOOK! NO MORE CREDITS TODAY!
I wanted the Silk Moths as Neon Lights over KALI (the angry fury Goddess) because Silk Worms are bread for their silk cocoons, and are THEN BOILED and EATEN. they're VERY EXPENSIVE if u order a platter of them, and I was told taste like peanut butter, and are a delicacy. Hence the metaphors...
(I dunno, insect eating is mostly uninteresting to me... altho I definitely eat anything & everything colored from carmine, raw bee honey, and shellac which is found in jellybeans & other delicious confectionery candies, and those are ALL DELICIOUS! I knew of several elderly folks, as a kid, whom ate chocolate covered ants & grasshoppers... but u can have those... no thanks. )
Anyways, The A.I.s all would load up the picture frame with lots of Butterflies, often 10-13, or would super enlarge a butterfly. Also, it/they would add various squares inside the picture frame.
I liked the Goth fashion better in this, altho the A.I. often gave her long sleeves, which I never asked for, or made her extremely sexy like lingerie or negligee fusion... I don't hate it, but I didn't ask for that, and it didn't really fit this theme... Also, giving her blue eyes was a major issue. Other times it'll give The Djinn Queen Blue eyes even tho I forgot to ask for them in other prompts.
So, I mostly gave up. This is about it. I'm so spent on this concept.
These are more of the defiant compositions, with confrontation, after intimidation. basically (if you listen to the songs) there's a lot of friction there. The Blümchen-Wannabe girl doesn't want to join The Dark Fae Djinn Troupe because she has a boyfriend, and if she does, she'll need to give up her heart (desire body/spiritual body) which she decides she won't do. She also cares about the Earth, but if she became a Djinn, even with all that power, she's loose her love, care, heart, and concerns about The greater good, but she cares about the earth too much, and all the living things on it.
This doesn't deter the Djinn Queen, because she's converted EVERY GIRL eventually, which is also like a sick loosh-feeding game to her, like hazing in a sorority, whcih she can energetically feed off of, and wear down the targeted girl. They are immortal, so it doesn't matter how long it takes... kinda like Shadow Pokemon which are tormented & Tortured until they become hardened, and submit to the will of their Pokemon Master.
The Djinn Queen will target all of your lovers, friends, family, and it will pay out long term, until you eventually submit. She, and the other Dark Fae Djinn ladies all participate in this targeting, which is long, elaborate, meticulously planned, drawn out, like precision chess, team effort. They can also read your thoughts, feelings, etc. and manipulate matter, time, reality, shift to other realities, create pocket realities, etc.
At some point, having lost every friend, every job, every lover, very C.I.A. intrigue level stuff, but scarier, she decides that AT LEAST SHE STILL HAS THE POWER TO RESIST THE DJINN, and digs in her heels!
But, there's a twist in the story, because this Blümchen-Wannabe girl is no mere girl, herself. She's reincarnated multiple times, evading The Djinn Queen's recruitment multiple times over, even if she can't recall it.
But, yet ANOTHER TWIST is that The Djinn Queen DOES NOT KNOW EVERYTHING... INCLUDING the reason WHY in every incarnation in human flesh she never joins the group....
I'm also considering having her bond with (friendship) another of the Dark Fae Dinn ladies...
I didn't intend for this to be gay or lesbian, at all, kinda like ho "Interview with The Vampire" was never intended to be homosexual gay.... but, at times, it kinda veers towards the border of that...I also have a gender-bending plot/storyline I'm kinda toying with, because I find it's more exciting, especially if you consider a "soul" as non-gendered "consciousness being" that can incarnate & reincarnate into either male or female, over & over.
I spent a lot of time on these, because I was internally thinking, rethinking, practically pulling my hair out over the really bad images, or the A.I. fucking with me.... which does happen. It's brat sometimes.
OK, I'm seriously on this kick with The Djinn Queen, which is a story concept that has seriously TAKEN OFF... I do play with the ideas and concepts in Suno a lot.
I actually created A LOT A.I. Slop Concept Art for JUST this STORY CONCEPT, and I toyed with various ideas with it. I Used Sora & ChatGPT
And, now, I'm gonna just photo dump all the A.I. slop Concept Art:
Love-bomb Concepts while traveling & shopping on vacation (or "on holiday" as they say in Europe):
The Fantasy Novel/Movie Poster looks kinda interesting, but the A.I.s often break the composition format. I wanted a Cantered/Oval composition, but it will toy with the eye-lines (film lingo) within the frame and make a zig-zag composition... this often vexes me.
The Curvy Love Bomb Mom-looking stubby legs Version:
Various location in European Cities such as Nederland, Belgium, Vienna Austria, Prague in Czech Republic, and various German Cities like: Bonn, Berlin, etc. SO, at 1st I went with the intimidation rout, because of my 1st songs I made in Udio... which are very hammy, cliche, and went head-1st for the cliche themes like "Femme Fatal" & various vegetarian ideas (because Blümchen is a vegetarian in the 90s, but she's a peskaterian now) and the Environmentalism "Save The Planet" kind of activism vibes & stuff like "Battle in Seattle" kind of defiance. Super over-the-top, ultra cliche, even kitsch, stuff. But, I just sort of went with it... A.I.s seem to love being a total ham-bone.
After a while I was playing with the "love bomb" kind of theme, because The Djinn Queen wants to "collect" her into her Troupe/Group of Dark Fae Djinn. I like flipping the script on themes of "Darkness" because Modern Western views always make it EVIL. But the Dark/Black side of the Yinyang is the "Yin" IS FEMININE, and also THE GOOD SIDE, whereas the "Yang" which is the White side is often more on the "evil" tendency when you read "Dao De Jing" since Laozi (Laotsu) was far more interested in "Yin", and "Flow" or or "Qi" (Chi).
I love all the witchy, dark, femme, vibes.... so I made the Djinn Queen more Morally Gray, and hacks Reality... The concept of "The Djinn" is a fascinating one.
I wanted her to start of nice, as well as the other girls. The Blümchen-Wannabe girl is THE FINAL ONE, and thus #12. The Love-bombs & bribes come 1st, then it gets kinda dark, like "Mean Girls" (film) and also "The Craft" (Film).
But, I wanted it to be European EVERYTHING! I just think this makes a WAY MORE RICH looking VISUAL ENVIRONMENT, and SOUNDSCAPE!
When I dug into the development of The Djinn Queen, I also explored her sweeter, seductive, sides to lure people.
I have waaaaaaaaaaaaay more, but, but I think that's a lot of THIS blog post.
There's quite a good chunk of music from the mid-late 1990s that I feel very much fits the moods I'm going for... however, I want the music to be new and original, yet within those old styles...
The majority is electronic, but I also like some Tribal Fusion....
There is an album by Scooter called "Wicked" which really inspires a lot of the stuff for me... (among a number of other marvelous albums from that time period) but, I don't want my project/product to be a Scooter project. I want it to be Kandice's project.
Scooter is also 3 men, and yet my project is feminine.
I also like the music by Yoko Kanno in Macross Plus, which is unlike the music in any other Macross projects/films/series.
Yoko Kanno is very diverse in her music styles that I am often supersized to find a song I like only to find out later that it was by her. Her music is so diverse and eclectic.
I like a LOT of German stuff. This is one of those bands/groups that was really innovative at the time, and at 1 point did a whole album in classical music.
I do also like Blümchen (Jasmin Wagner) whom was my ultimate favorite in the 90s! But, I feel much of her music is more of a mood for Lively than for Djehkäujaa:
There's also a 90s album by Sarah Brightman that is quite lovely, and I also like the moods in it as well.
I also like the newer take on stuff, like Tribal Fusion. I really like Stellamara, and their Devotional Musical styles as well as their remixes, altho' they aren't 90s.
I am quite enamored with this lovely device: Roland Bassline 303 vintage (no longer in production). When it first released it was about $400 and now if you can get one, even a broken one, it costs THOUSANDS! Nothing else quite has THAT SOUND.
And...... I always wanted one of these KORG KAOSS Pads!
I want to comment a bit about prejudices, and Ethnocentrism.
It turns out, that most people are guilty of this at some point or another of this, in some variation, whether they mean to or not. This includes myself. Overcoming this involves being curious about other cultures, and sharing things like arts & music, and other creative things.
Being or doing something Ethnocentric just means to judge people or persons of another culture by the standards of YOUR values & views from YOUR culture.
Even tho' it's not a good thing, it's important to keep in mind that people of another culture have a different view or perspective than that of your own, be aware of it, and ask yourself: am I being ethnocentric? Don't beat yourself up if you find out that you might have been... Instead, learn from it.
It's TOTALLY OKAY to shift your view of the way you view the world, and not just your micro version of the world, because it will broaden WHO YOU ARE. Others may feel threatened by it, and try to deter you from it, because people fear what they do not understand. (things that are different)
But, I can assure you, there's NOTHING better than the realization that you WERE WRONG about something, and then OVERCOMING it. Because you can FINALLY grow as a person.
This type of theme was ULTRA popular in the 1990s, but also throughout the 20th Century. And even uncovering that you were wrong or misjudged someone, or even about yourself.
(1990s) Movies I loved were:
The Jungle Book (Jason Scott Lee version) Dragon; Bruce Lee Story (Jason Scott Lee) Map of The Human Heart (Jason Scott Lee) Clueless Blade (Wesley Snipes) The Matrix
Titanic Mortal Kombat (The Movie) Jungle Fever The Lover (1992 Tony Leung) Terminator 2; Judgement Day Shindler's List Fight Club Home Alone Pocahontas The Lion King Beauty & The Beast Mulan The Sand Lot Radio Flyer The Good Son Sidekicks Beethoven (the dog movie) Pretty Woman Gattaca Contact Liar Liar The Game The Mask Ace Ventura; Pet Detective I & II Sister Act Dangerous Minds Rush Hour (Jackie Chan) Bio-Dome In The Army Now Cool Runnings Forrest Gump Problem Child Best of the Best (1989)
(and, yes, I was a fan of Jason Scott Lee in case you were wondering)
Films like this have an emphasis on "learning your lesson" and growing as a person, maturing, and giving back to your fellow human society in a good constructive, productive and genuine way by also being "true to your heart". "Being the better man" even if someone is unwilling to be civil, and unwilling to let go of their prejudices by continuing to cling to it & fear-based ego driven ideals or judgements. To do the right thing.
Watching films like these, or even TV content from that period is like night and day compared to now. Now, you can find themes justifying torture frequently in TV shows. I've seen MORE rape depicted in films today than ever. And, I'm not talking about making the case against it like "The Color Purple" (1985) but a very gratuitous amount, often to entice viewership. It's VERY dark.
I used to think Chinese & Japanese films had an overdo of dark & tragic themes, such as rampant rape & torture, but I think content from the USA has far eclipsed it now.
But, art is art... and I don't think artists should be censored too much.... if at all...
The unfortunate thing about themes & media today is that they very rarely seem to make the case against theses actions or conduct on an inner level. Like, there's no moral to the story... Not that all stories require morals, and I understand entertainment for entertainment sake... but, it's just not there so much...
It's this: Be afraid. Look out for yourself. Dog eat dog. Take it while you can, winner takes all, over the top stuff... Or stuff that reinforces prejudices. advocates in favor of it, sometimes in subtle ways, others in your face...
And, sure, I do watch some of it... but, not all...
(Gratuitous content I have watched: Spartacus Blood & Sand (and the spin-offs), Game of Thrones, Star Trek Enterprise, 24, Lost, The Event)
Yet, I especially don't watch so-called "reality TV".
As for me, overcoming a number of things (prejudices) involves being open to other cultures, including films, music, etc...
As I mentioned, I was very anti Japanese animated content, because most of the junk I'd known was what I saw on TV. But, when I was in college, there were SOOOOOOO many kids that loved anime.
If you didn't know, Anime movies/videos are VERY expensive, even if they are the bad quality ones. But, the experience of going to college is a VERY good one and helps one to open up and GROW as a person. Something I liked very much was how freely everyone wanted to share movies & music together.
When I was younger, like I said, I loved techno music even if it was in a different language, like German, or in Chinese. And, I got so much heat & hate for it. When I was in college I recognized that my classmates also loved the Japanese content in the same way that I loved mine, and that they had ALSO undergone the EXACT same kind of hate & prejudices others also had. So, I could identify with them... and so, I found myself opening up to all kinds of Japanese movies, videos, and even some music.
It's ironic because, now today due to the internet being FAR more accessible, there have been a number of forign hits world wide due to memes, such as: Numa Numa (Dragostea Din Tei) Caramel Dansen BoA
-and the newest and biggest hit: Psy's "Gangnam Style":
So, altho there is so much prejudices on the usual fronts in the media, you can find that in arts & music we've come quite a long way! And, it makes me feel good about Humanity...
Often people would say to me:
How can you listen to this or that music? It's in German!
To which I would laugh: Well, I can speak German! XD
If I listened to Kelly Chen in any number of languages she sings in (Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese) did it really matter what the language was?
When Blümchen (Jasmin Wagner) became a HUGE hit in Sweden with the song "Nur geträumt..." (Only Dreamed...) years after it was originally released, they asked her why she thought the song was so popular even tho' most people couldn't understand the words in Scandinavia, and she even had an English version ("Just A Dream..."/Blossom) but no one liked that version as much as the original version in German, she often would comment, laughingly, that she felt that the words really didn't matter, the feeling did, and if the feeling was good then that was all that mattered.
She said that when she was little she loved music by a Swedish rock band Roxette (Joyride, Listen To Your Heart, It Must've Been Love) and learned all the words to the songs because she just loved the music, even tho' she couldn't understand what they were singing about. Then, because of music, she learned to speak English.
It's like that with me as well.
I would like very much for the world to overcome more prejudices. At times things seem like they are, and other times I question whether we might ever get there...
Remember how I said I liked things that reminded me of my own work, or ideas? Well, it's true.
When The Matrix came out, I was BLOWN AWAY. It was loaded with subculture, underground themes, it mixed & blended ideas that were already around but MOSTLY just among others on the internet, like myself at the time, as well as mixing Asian, European, American, and Australian cultural themes. It has a very anime or even a comic book feel, but more Anime/Manga than anything... It has both what you would call "higher thinking" ideas as well as "deep thinking" if you care for philosophy... The classical types of what Science Fiction was originally about.
They used innovative new technologies with cameras, and ways to shoot film..
It was the big project by Wachowski Brothers, now known as just The Wachowskis.
Wouldn't it be great to do something THAT big, some day?
