I've been thinking of doing this for the past year and so here's a special album I put together, of 10 (12 actually shhh) really cool alternate versions that didn't make it to the official albums - there's some surprises in there too! I did my best to vary what kinds of songs are on there, factoring in some of people's favourites and mine too <3 I kept it to 10/12 mostly because of my limited timeframe, I can always add more later!

Track rundown (spoilers!):
Cuando Me Voy - the 2x60 version is an icon and she is the moment. changes made: removed noise from either side of the clip, mixed in the ending from another performance because this one got cut off by applause, and mastered.
Habla Si Puedes - changes made: mixed the chorus and bridge with tini into the original full-length one, made the original volume difference between the intro and the rest of the track smaller.
Juntos Somos Más - changes made: removed the section with diego and marco's interruption and mixed in the first part of the first verse instead, removed noise either side, mastered.
Invencibles - I really want to do the acoustic version with Cami and Nati too at some point! changes made: There isn't a full version anywhere of this version without a heinous amount of interruptions so I used the original Rock Bones track as a base, and mixed in Nati and Ludmi's parts, then mastered it.
Hoy Somos Más - i was thinking about soy luna's siempre juntos group version and was sad we didn't get an official one for this (yet... we're getting a cast rerecording it seems!) changes made: Mixed in the heartbeat sound from the original Hoy Somos Más, and mastered.
Veo Veo - I'm so sad we never got a full version of this, i debated not including it bc it's so short but it's too iconic changes made: noise either side removed, a little bit of noise reduction, and mastered
Abrázame Y Verás - This was probably the most time consuming track of all of them omg but the acoustic version is so mf good changes made: had to do a lot of noise reduction, as well as cutting out the annoying ending en gira bit that all the s3 clips have, mixed the two separate versions and tried to have a semi-natural transition. mastered.
Verte De Lejos - I was gonna have it be tomas and león but they literally already have the guitar version together what's the point? plus i like the symbolism of these two singing it...<3 changes made: noise reduction and clipping and mastering, an attempt was made yet again at a semi-natural transition between the two keys. i cannot stress enough i am not a sound engineer omg
Yo Soy Así - for my diecesca and marciego shippers :) also his voice sounds so good and I love the way he alters how he sings it for marco and fran changes made: only a little bit of noise reduction bc i like the relaxed outdoor vibe and sound of this acoustic, two clips mixed and mastered!
Entre Tú Y Yo - an underrated gem and i rate the tension when they sing it ngl changes made: literally only needed to cut noise from either side and master! amen

some people read an awful lot, but don't read very well. deep reading is itself a skill. being able to untangle the threads of theme, subtext, characterization, narrative style, and more are all things that it takes time and intentional engagement to learn.
if you've ever watched a movie with your film buff friend and chatted about it afterwards, that friend might have pulled hours more of conversation out of the same 90 minutes of screentime, and wondered how the fuck they did that - it's not raw intelligence, it's a skill that's been honed. And I learned a lot about film from talking to friends who knew about film, and reading critique by film scholars
literature works exactly the same. so if you want to get more out of your reading, there are things you can do to train that.
Find a book or short story you think you've got a pretty good grasp on, preferably from a widely read & respected author like Ursula K Le Guin or Ray Bradbury (if you're new at this don't swing for the Toni Morrison or the Samuel Beckett yet unless you feel very comfortable with the complexity of the text - the point is to develop a complicated new skill on good foundations). Then go to JSTOR, create a free account, and look up criticism on the story you've chosen. Find something that looks readable to you and at least somewhat interesting. Read that article, and look at what that writer got out of the same story you've read that you didn't get. Do you see the critic's points? Did they teach you something about the text? Go reread that story and see if the criticism has changed how you read it. Are you seeing more? Are you thinking about the implications of a line that you hadn't noticed before? Does the story feel richer now?
there are other more involved ways of finding criticism. Learning to use academic databases, going to your local library to do interlibrary loans, finding critical voices you appreciate; these are all useful subskills. Literacy isn't just being able to read words, it's being able to read words in context and think about what they tell you about the text, the author, or the time and culture in which the text was produced. Literacy is the skill of being able to look at the world with open eyes and think clearly about how its parts are connected. It'll change your life
Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…
What is your AO3 user ID?
I’m an OG user 5 digits or less
Six figures baby!
I’m in the millions…
Remaining time: 4 days 17 hours
I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"
