I've accidentally done this multiple times on twitter this year.
Each time I CACKLE at this cycle.
But my BoA intuitions were vibrating correctly. There is in fact a new jpn single coming out soon (it's a drama tie-in ballad so not for me).

If you search "BoA" in 2025, you will not be greeted with the Beat of Angel, BoA Kwon.

Instead you will get 69% Brazilian OF links and jizzed out phalluses, 25% Boa Hancock with extra tiddy out and active, and then 6% news or nostalgia of a BoA song.

A spell for cleansing, a ritual for protection, a song for new archetypes, a memory of ancestral medicine

New universes being created. Hands holding primordial Black void genitals. A conjurer of sorts.

Two hands stretch and cup a mass where the pelvis is. The body is covered in a starsuit and leopard print.

Odera half wearing the bodysuit. Using the kpokokpoko rattle.

A mixed media drawing of photo. Nzu and ink dance across the body and across the landscape of stars as Odera dances twirls and reconnects with their Ori.

‡ who are you?

Figure made of dots of light stands in the center. It’s night. A small dot that has a halo glow like a moon bow is in the sky above their head. A glimmer of the moon highlights the surface of the ocean

thankyou friend! that means so much coming from you.

This series is lots of integrating all my different parts, trying to create new visual archetypes, nodes, and access points for Black Queer bodies and visual mythologies, and not being afraid for painting and drawing to not be the central star

A photo of Odera holding a kpokokpoko, a rattle used for rituals and herbalist and sacred ceremonies. They wear a half worn body suit reminiscent of stars. And there are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations.

A series of mixed media drawings on photography prints inspired by nzu rituals. Available as prints and the original sketches up at my shop

www.odera.net/shop

Odera's backside in a leopard cheetah print bodysuit with tiny jewels reminiscent of stars. Scattered across the picture plane are washes on nzu and ink drawings.

A photo of Odera holding a kpokokpoko, a rattle used for rituals and herbalist and sacred ceremonies. They wear a body suit reminiscent of stars and leopard-cheetah print. There are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations. Ink and nzu dance across the surface of the arms, torso, penis, fingertips, and legs. These forms dance with and across the cylindrical volumes, becoming both embellishments and spells.

Me: “unpopular opinion, but i think Janet Jackson is a better singer than Adele”
