#[[will probably liveblog my trip on my personal blog

[whirling-fangs]

[[ i have landed in Tokyo!!! Flight was delayed an hour after trouble in paris and after landing was cancelled last second... because the previous plane was still on the landing track :')))) biggest scare of my life lmao

I am absolutely exhausted and probably won't be bothered by jetlag haha. I got everything I needed at the airport, omw to meet up with friends at the hotel and go right to sleep ;w;

Tomorrow I'll play the Inosuke game: how fast can I find anything Inosuke in Tokyo ❤️ in the meantime I hope you're all doing well!! Take care!!]]

Liveblog 2: Still trying to finish episode 1.

Crocosec is a butcher, Tortue sells weapons next to him, and Kanigroo is a florist.

Julie's hair salon is right across from Kerubim's boutique.

INSTANT love. Their friendship is so important.

Is this a random observation of details, as is this blog's entire premise? No. But I am going to add this to the post nevertheless.

Solomonk, btw. The kanji here is "金", which means gold/metal in Japanese and Chinese.

Keke's yarn ball addiction that will be referenced in a future episode. Yet, he also knits using them, as shown in a few places in canon, so not all hope is lost. I am not screenshotting all of them.

I love these two so much... You can probably tell by my two 10k word fanfics that have tags like "fluff", "child neglect", "psychological horror", and "Joris should hunt Kerubim for sport (positive)"

You will notice that this is a theme with this series, but Joris grows to have a bit more mature of s view on Kerubim, realizing that his father is a very unreliable narrator, and a flawed person.

While Dofus Livre 1: Julith has some writing issues (Bakara should have been sadder and Khan should be on-screen less often), it wraps this arc neatly, by completely taking Kerubim off that pedestal in Joris's mind.

As well as destroying the notion of pedestals for Joris in general, ruining his life, and making him very disillusioned. But we'll talk about The Horrors when we get there.

There are other horrors to talk about, after all:

Simone is this close to calling the twelvian analogue of CPS. And she should have. I am going to hunt Kerubim Crepin for sport.

The stairs are a tripping hazard and there's a knife just randomly laying there. Very normal parenting.

Then there's the horrifying bookcase that is going to fall someday and kill everyone.

There's a lot to unpack here in general, but I demonstrated 3 ways I think Joris could accidentally kill himself in this household at the ripe age of 7. Especially the with murdershelf.

Btw have I said that he has lived in these conditions for his whole life. I think we don't talk about that enough. I will hunt Kerubim Crepin for sport.

He's literally so mean. This man has bewitched me soul and mind. If he said this to me, I would die on the spot from embarrassment.

The way he's trying not to die of laughter or make fun of this guy is actually insane.

There's not enough words in the english, french, or other languages to describe how shit of a parent Kerubim is btw. why the fuck is there meat there. Then there's the random fish skeleton. Then the random rotten apple and another piece of meat with an AXE in it. And using a monster as a disposal device.

I am going to hunt him for sport, have I mentioned that?

Here's a confirmation that even though it's never mentioned, Incarnam does exist in the TV series Dofus and Wakfu.

Kerubim's half of the sleeping room is notably more run down...

I will be real Kerubim's depression nest is actually so sad. Being mentally ill doesn't excuse bad parenting, but yeah. Just... a horrible familial situation all around.

Bonus Screenshots: Joris looking like a bug. + Simone's lesbian stare of hatred towards Bob from Bonta.

[fapamir]

one more tag game yaaaaaaay thank you @sirkaywrites for tagging me!

why did you choose your url?

I love LOTR and this is just a play on Faramir's name and the word fap. It was funny back then... It's also a sister url with my bf @bonermir so it's special 💜

any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them

I have @koalawoozi which is a blog for kpop stuff... that's it!

how long have you been on tumblr?

I got on tumblr on 2009 omg, so like 12 years?

why did you start your blog in the first place?

I was an edgy teen who wanted to post music lyrics with aesthetic pictures connected to them. Eventually I got into fandom more and more and the liveblogging phase stared.

why did you choose you icon/pfp?

This is my baby boy, I-would-die-for-this-gremlin problem child, Wei Wuxian! It's the same icon I have on my stan twitter and AO3, because I like consistency ~~

why did you choose you header?

Lowkey had to check what my header was. And it's just... Bilbo Baggin's door. Because I'm a LOTR fangirl. Honestly I don't even know.

what’s your post with the most notes?

This one about fanfiction that I made while drunk one night like 7 years ago and TO THIS DAY people tell me in the notes that I should reduce my fractions... I refuse. It still gets notes.

how many people do you follow?

I cleaned up recently from all the blogs that have been inactive for like 6 years, and right now I follow only around 90 people. But I've been looking for some blogs to follow!

have you ever made a shitpost?

Obviously. Like I said, I had a Liveblogging phase, and those were pretty much 100% shitposts. I'm proud to announce that I've never hit post limit though!

how often do you use tumblr?

I check it pretty much every day. I've been on and off in these 12 years but I always end up coming back.

did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? who won?

Probably A LOT. I don't remember all of them. I used to get into pretty serious fights with people who shipped Wincest, and I once got anon hate for shipping Klaine... I just answered it with "omg my first anon hate!"... Ah. Those were fun days. Idk about "winning" though.

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?

I try to never reblog posts like that. If it's something that I want to have on my blog, I'll look in the notes for a version of it without the guilt trip, and reblog that one.

do you like tag games?

I'm so happy tag games are making a come back!!! It's like tumblr reviving, I love it. I feel like a teenager again.

do you like ask games?

I never participated because I never think people are gonna ask me things! Even way back then when I had a lot of active followers I was too scared of being ignored.

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I don't know, and tbh it doesn't really matter to me. There's no real way of knowing since follower count is hidden (thank god). Also for some reason my sideblog gets a lot of attention? Figures.

do you have a crush on a mutual?

Not really. I was never a person to get many online crushes. But I do have people I wish I had the courage to interact with more.

I tag @bonermir @itsthenerdwonder @babblebuzz @jingyismom @shypotatowedge !!! No pressure to do it of course, I just thought it seemed cute ~~

My MCYT Fanfics

Justice Well Served (AO3)

- “Dream has been fleeing his three persistant hunters for two months now. Life hasn’t been the same ever since the King demanded his head, and the more time goes on, the more he sees his future crumble. Maybe he never should have crossed him in the first place.

George and his two best friends have been sent on a neckbreaking mission to catch the most dangerous criminal in the kingdom of Rua. Guided by compasses and orders from the King, they’re determined to catch up very, very soon.”

(Long on-going work. I am writing this as chapter 20 is posted, and the work stands at 84.5k words currently. Here’s its tumblr post.)

Road Trip (If You Mean It) (AO3)

“George giggles despite himself. “Dream,” he says, and  Dream feels his heart firmly punch his chest. Somehow, the same effect of Sapnap looking more attractive in reality applies to George, except  fucking ten-fold. Sapnap teasingly whines something along the lines of  ‘what about me?’, but Dream barely hears him.

Dream takes a step  closer, suddenly very aware that George is as small as Sapnap is, a good  head smaller than him, only really reaching up to his chest. George has  to look up at him, a silent question in his eyes.

The glance upwards, all glittering dark eyes and dark hair and just George, is enough to slay him on the spot.

Dream doesn’t mean to sound so soft, his voice to be so drawled. “Can I hug you?”

George slides his bag off his shoulder, letting it hit the ground. “I- yeah.””

(“heat-waves-esque”  but the song is Road Trip by Dreamwastaken himself this time, because  Road Trip has been stuck in my head and Heat Waves has left me  emotionally in pain. Long on-going work. Tumblr post)

Obsidian (AO3)

- “Despite all his divine power, Dream ends up trapped in his own prison… surrounded by nothing but the darkness, his torturously immortal mind and four cold, obsidian walls.” (Complete oneshot. Please read tags/warnings on ao3 before proceeding to read. ~3.4k words. Tumblr post.)

Info

This is a side-blog so you won’t see me in notes/likes! My main is allet-trash but I don’t post any mcyt there at all.

This blog is 95% mcyt. I lov the mcytblrs with all my heart and I’m happy to be part of this cool community. I browse the mcyt tag a lot. Feel free to yell at my inbox/DMs if u wanna.

If I leave you on read in DMs that’s cause tumblr ate my notifs, I read it and forgot to respond or I haven’t figured out what to say yet sdlkfj. I’ll get back to you eventually (But you can also toss me an ask to remind me if you want as soon as I haven’t responded within about 48 hours).

ABOUT ME

Name: I typically go by Space here, but feel free to call me whatever.

Pronouns/gender: they/them/he/him, with a preference for he/him. I’m nonbinary.

I support the lgbtqa+ community wholeheartedly: Aro/ace, Biromantic/bisexual, Trans (whether that be ftm, mtf, mtn or ftn), Lesbian/gay/their romantic versions, Panromantic/pansexual, agender, nonbinary, genderfluid and people with neopronouns. PLEASE tell me if I forgot something. Knowing me, I might have. If it’s not p*dophilia, I probably just forgot to mention it here.

Age: I’m a young adult, 18-26. When talking to someone in DMs, especially about ships/fanfic/nsfw, I might ask if you’re a minor or not to make sure I know who I’m talking to!

PERSONAL TAGS

#dreamteamspace speaks

Asks that I answer, oneshots, any original posts, when I add a lot of my own ideas/writing/opinions on posts that I reblog, and my digital art if I make any.

#space writes

In cases of oneshots, lore, ideas, sometimes vividly depicted theories and generally creative writing, I will tag posts with #dreamteamspace speaks AND #space writes.

#space art

my digital art!

#liveblogging - Whenever I’m liveblogging about a vod/stream/premier/etc.

#srb - self reblog, when reblogging a post I myself made, sometimes with an addition.

#fav - This tag saves things for me for later. Things I might want to rewatch/reread and that give me serotonin.

#ask - any asks I answer.

#anonymous ask - any anonymous asks I answer.

On tagging asks: When answering an ask, I can’t tag it immedietly, but have to go back to edit the ask and tag it (If there’s a way around this please tell me). If an ask isn’t tagged at all, wait about 20 seconds and refresh.

#negativity

Any non-positive posts, including fandom drama, valid criticism of ccs, warning posts, venting, ranting, pessimism and shipping discourse. /j’d posts that are meant positively do not fall under this tag.

I won’t reblog posts I fundamentally and fully disagree with, rather, I may fully agree with a post and still tag it as #negativity.

If you would like something tagged #negativity that is not tagged, do not be afraid to toss me an ask/DM and ask for me to tag it. If you’re not sure if it’s reasonable or not, just ask! I don’t bite.

I use this tag less than once a day on average.

#criticism

Any posts that are ALREADY tagged #negativity but are about valid criticism of ccs or the fandom, usually making a good point I agree with.

((I generally will not reblog political posts onto this blog. Instead I do that to my main blog, @allet-trash, where they are tagged #politics.))

IMPORTANT! I do not tag my swearing.

I fully understand it can be bothersome to some people, and I’ve tried to tag it on other blogs in the past and I just- don’t manage. I don’t swear every second sentence and sometimes I’ll try to tone it down. If you’re very bothered by swearing, either filter the words themselves or keep your distance.

TWs

I’ll tag general things such as blood/death/selfharm/etc. If you need something triggering tagged that is not tagged, please tell me. If I tag something #blood tw I will also tag it #blood for easier filtering. I sometimes tag mentions.

Tone indicators

I use /lh (light hearted), /hj (half-joking), /j (joking), /srs (serious)

DNI (Do not interact)

-anybody who thinks p*dophilia is a kink/orientation or in any way part of the lgbtqa community

-if you romantically ship ccs that are minors with other ccs. Same goes for shipping ccs in ways they’ve confirmed to not be okay with or if they’re not okay with shipping in general

-Please just respect CCs boundaries I beg of you it’s the least we can do

Thick as Thieves Undead-Blog, Part One | when your liveblog falls in a well then climbs out covered in flour | my notes from reading the book for the first time, Spring 2017

Expect yelling, lines that stuck out to me, and references that might only make sense in my head! Do not expect any meaningful analysis; I was simply reading this book, losing my mind, and feeling like I was falling in love. (Context provided in italics.)

Part Two

Chapters 1-5:

Ch. 1 - Kamet meets Costis and finds out about Nahuseresh’s “death” 

1. similar start to KoA and ACoK? and Thief?? feeling stupid

2. smashed bottle of remchik (amphora motif?)

RUSTICATE

oh no Nahuseresh why you’re married!

3. a new character! (Laela)

5. u look like a pomegranate

6. how old is Kamet?

8. “crooked men assume others are crooked as well” like thieves and philanderers...

10. Laela thinks Attolia is doomed?

ORNON????

“nature of world” is that what you really think?

trained as a child

11. poor eyesight

PAH COSTIS IS BACK i’m emotional

A VERY LARGE ATTOLIAN

12. THANK THE ETERNAL GODS HE WAS A CHATTY ATTOLIAN THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK

13. everyone is smart

a deep well of spite, low cunning

14. physical description of Costis?!?

he says he has so much power but he ... hides in alcoves? behind urns?

15. backward Attolia

a match made in hell (Kamet’s assessment of Gen and Irene)

K’s backstory

what does he like? does he WANT wealth and power?

16. *****“There is freedom and power” ***** (this quote was featured in some of the promotion before publication, I think, so it stuck out to me as especially important, though it probably would have anyway because it says a whole lot about Kamet’s perspective!)

oh no well there goes my wish for insight into Nahuseresh RIP (I didn’t LIKE Nahuseresh and particularly want to get to know him better, but I did go into this book hoping we’d get a more nuanced view of some of the Mede court ... turns out we absolutely DID get some serious insight into Nahuseresh despite him not appearing in person ... oof. I do still hope that RotT gives us even more Mede characters or fleshes out the other ambassadors - Akretenesh and Melheret (though we we just see them through the eyes of people like Sophos who vehemently oppose them) still seem less unique/complex/human compared to other antagonist-types like Ambiades, Sejanus, reader’s choice of baron.)

17. tears ... not for him though

 21. Shesmegah = Philia?

22. Rabbit and Lion!!!

23. Bear ... thx mwt <3 plz don’t be foreshadowing (Gen compares himself to a dancing bear ... so “there had been a white bear once, a gift from the Braelings in the north, but it had died in the heat” is pretty ominous, especially considering the animal allusions to another character on the previous page!)

24. he’s leaving the gates an enemy of king!

Ch. 2 - Kamet bumps into Immakuk and then Costis, the Anet’s Dream burns

28. how do they know who’s a slave?

clothes, chain

it’s Odin (listen. Odin and Immakuk both have one eye and show up a lot! I was totally on the right track. Shoutout to The Saga of the Volsungs ;) )

Enforcers of Imperial Peace give me a break! (i mean, in the US police are often officially called “peace officers” so, fair)

is he a god? srsly

32. the first of my many lies (“you said after noon”)

is this post-annuxing? no?

We went to the theater

34. I am a good judge of men

35. “i could evade the attolian far more easily than the palace guard” he is a palace guard <3

36. HIS ACCENT IS STILL HORRIBLE also your god’s favor

37. uhhh omg

38. omg OMG OMGOMG OMG (this was me generally losing it at Kamet’s assessment of Costis and at “he told me his name, as if he expected me to use it” I still cannot get over that line)

that’s one way to get Ornon out of your hair

39. Has C picked up the mind-reading habit

“take a seat” ... parallel to first KoA scene with Costis and Gen?

40. so certain of my place in the world

DIVESTED himself of his shirt

41. soooooooo bad bad institution (Kamet is thinking about the other slaves being executed)

42. Mercy buds (Kamet and Costis/Shesmegah and Philia)

44. more retrospect/depth in narration than Sophos, even (“I should have had more respect for his quick thinking” etc)

"i wanted to believe i steered the course of my future” no it’s Gen aka the gods

47. Story time!

friends

53. Ziggurat vs tower?

54. Costis is good in a crisis

55. what is this (Kamet’s swimming struggles)

“cooped up”

Ch. 3 - Kamet and Costis stay in Sherguz, then leave by caravan

62. making excuses to hang w Costis 4eva

who set the boat on fire?

who was the merchant on it?

68. know my secret??

wtf Costis you put a rock in your breastplate?

73. holy shit “eloquent”

lol this scene! (Costis negotiating with Roamanj)

“you are asking this because i look like your generous old uncle” his uncle is NOT generous tho

75. what is palm grease? :o 

does C really not know N is dead? what if he isn’t ....? (lol don’t give me too much credit for this thought, I quickly dismissed it)

76. sign of the idiot!

78. Aris! <3 Wish I hadn’t been spoiled for this! (by the character list absolutely crammed full of spoilers in all the new paperbacks)

79. Are these like the large caravans Eddis took?

85. around the fire interesting education vibes + romance?

I’m so proud of Costis!

Ch. 4 - Contains lions and backstory

89. Yes! (Namreen attack. I don’t know what in particular I was excited about. Possibly Costis’s comment that the guy who stabbed Kamet didn’t have his guard up? Or just everything.)

90. Wow! When u get over it, compare to Costis w/ Gen hurt!

93. “why namreen” OMG Kamet tell him!!! it’s important!

94. no one knows what my king knows

95. a herd of cats!

damn yeah issues

A LION!!! wtf 

I would LOVE to hear Costis hiss

OMG COSTIS NO

96. prayers ouch ... oxe harbrea?

98. oh my god

101. Costis is kind

105. Costis is accustomed to passing the day in silence - but he fills the silence here w/ Kamet w/ horrible jokes!

god what was K’s childhood

106. OMG sand in food

107. OMG so cute (Costis telling stories about Gen)

108. So so so! :)

110. I am aghast I continue to be aghast I’m surprised This Incident wasn’t common knowledge tho (How did you come to Ianna-Ir? I punched the king in the face.)

112. well that was a long and slightly weird story (abt Costis’s story of the above. I was channelling something Martin says in the Cabin Pressure episode “Fitton” about the sauce?)

116. Attolian slang omg

literally the main suspense/climax is when is Kamet going to call Costis by his name?!?!!!

117. [doodle of caggi conversation, see photo at top of post]

126. omg they were both in Attolia but not together

if Kamet was in the kitchen then does he know Sandy? (LJ fandom name for Brinna before we knew who she was)

127. OMG nutcakes vs Irene (“She was as beautiful as the Queen of the Night, but the Attolian nutcakes ... were even more beautiful -- and they wouldn’t kill you.”)

looks like a nutcake is actually a nutcake

looks like a nutcake could actually kill u? (I THINK ABOUT THIS CONCEPT A LOT. someday I will make a post about it)

Ch. 5 - Road trip continues, Ne Malia/Koadester

131. So proud of Costis’s acting! (losing money to sell the chain)

136. the truth? (Kamet’s backstory)

we’re just getting more (as readers)

140. IT’S ODIN (onion farmer)

143. fastener?

144. wooo (thoughts about “new authority as a free man”)

151. crack in china cup returns

153. Costis you’re sharing your king’s confidence!

154. Eugenides here to break up your empire!

lol Melheret Gen why

156. “squabbles” wars all reduced to reliable trade route!

apparently I became too engrossed to take notes as their pursuers caught up to them, because that’s all for this chapter! The journey will continue when I’ve typed up more ... let me know if anything is incomprehensible. Thanks for reading!

[suworkbook]

All non SU blogs are tagged with ‘notsuwb’. If you’re here for one thing and one thing only, you can use that tag to block!

The blog was temporarily terminated yesterday, but we have risen again. 

I would love to! And I’d love to do more books too. I’d have to see where things shake out in terms of time, (or maybe just get a new catch-all liveblog for books...) but if anyone wants to commission me to read more in the meantime, my Patreon will have a slot open in October!

I made a list of... 10 theories/questions that Serious Steven raised for me. I didn’t mention them in the episode, because I was getting pretty loopy there for a while. But I have them written down (have not evaluated their goodness/badness yet).

Thank you... I think. Haha for the strawberries specifically, the Beatles song seems fairly obvious, imo. Then my friend @heropantii​ (who is 1/5 of the reason this blog exists, please hate her if you have to) got very exited about old Swedish movies and we spent twenty minutes reliving our dopest days of college. And this blog has been cursed ever since that moment.

But in terms of theorising in general, I approach it by imagining that every line and moment is important. I don’t necessarily consider overthinking to be bad. At least, not at this point. I’m not ready to make a closing argument on what SU is, so all I’m doing now is generating questions. Some of them will turn out to be relevant, some won’t. We’re info gathering so that when this liveblog is finally done, we can choose which parts feel convincing and which ones feel like a stretch.  

So there’s a couple of levels to play with this. At its most basic, there’s taking each 10 minute episode as a contained story. Serious Steven is a story about repeating patterns, going in circles, changing your perspective, trusting your gut in order to break away from the way you’ve been doing things. The meat and bones. The stuff that you can make sound reasonable in the rush of a liveblog (if it’s not 1 in the morning and you’re too old to be up that late).

Then there’s the slightly more abstract stuff. The big lore. The way the episode structures itself. The art, the direction. What is the episode setting up for the longer series. The murals and the battlefield. So you think okay, why is this story about patterns set in this environment and told by jumping forward and backwards through time? It could be coincidence or it could be deliberate. And you can generate theories from this point: 

Could the episode be hinting that Rose had the same frustrating, circular experience on that battlefield as Steven had? 

Is it telling us something about her enemy's battle strategy, that it sent her in circles, turning her back on herself until she lost all perspective with the war? 

Is it raising questions about the nature of war itself, that those who don’t remember their history are doomed to repeat it over and over? 

Is it a reminder not to take the impermanence at face value, to realise that just because you’ve changed position and perspective, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve gone anywhere? Just because the battlefield has turned to strawberries doesn’t mean there isn’t still pain lurking there, waiting to catch you when you trip up (and our Gems never trip, but if they do one day, there’s probably gonna be something worse than butterflies waiting for them). 

Is it commentary that the generation after you won’t give one single shit about your magnificent sacrifices, because they don’t understand how it’s relevant to their lives? 

And on and on. Some of these options are more likely than others, but they’re all questions we can consider as we keep watching.

And then there’s the free association category, which is just little fun what ifs. What if the strawberry field is a reference to other famous strawberry fields? What similarities do these works have? What could have relevance to the show, if we go down that route? What do other sources, other theories, other frameworks have to say about war, time, regret, parenthood, history, and could those things be present in these works in a way that informs or enriches our way of thinking about it? 

So yeah, that’s the patented Taz approach to life.

I do miss my summaries. I may just defy nearly every single person in my audience and go back to them. The one for Bubble Buddies is ‘Steven is a hero when he builds a glass bubble around a girl he likes, but then he can’t figure out how to break the bubble’. I mean come on! That is brilliant. Maybe instead of all that theorising above I should just summarise every episode with my own slightly right but painfully wrong netflix-esque caption. 

[blapisblogs]

Well, that’s it. The End of the Batman is also the end of my Penguin liveblog marathon. I did go back and forth on the thought of maybe talking about the game that Cartoon Network once had on their site called the Cobblepot Caper, but I think this is a good enough note to leave this off on.

Plenty of you are probably relieved that these have finally come to an end, but for me it’s a bit bittersweet. These have been a blast to revisit, even if they aren’t exactly perfect through a more modern outlook. Through watching all of these, most of which I haven’t seen since they first premiered on television, not only was I entertained, but I also got slight glimpses of what I now realize were things that would spark interests in me much later in life and even found a couple of new things I like. As for this series’ Penguin himself, I know he’s far from a perfect character, and in this he’s not necessarily a very complex one, but I don’t care. I came back to this show just for him and to have him entertain me once again, and I’ve been given so much more than that.

What can I say? I love him. I have always loved him. I probably always will love him. He makes me happy, and I’m not ashamed of that anymore.

Thank you all for sticking around for this personal nostalgic trip through memory lane and hearing me go on about a character that’s been so close to my heart for so long (especially @animatedc9000 who’s been hearing me gush about him on Discord too). This was an absolute joy, and I hope whatever I blog about on here next is even close to being half as fun as this was.

Long Term Acid Plans

So it seems some people interpreted the blog posts I made while I was on acid - when I was trying to immediately get down some novel information while being bad at communication - more seriously than I intended. So I should specify what has happened so far and what I plan to do:

All doses I took until last week were below the threshold for actually psychadelic effects. I just took moderate doses where the main effect is stimulating learning and improving creative thinking.

(Dose zero was a test I did about two months ago of an extremely tiny amount so I could be sure I wouldn’t have an unusual adverse reaction to it. Even then I had benzos on hand to bring me down. It mostly just made me slightly loopy and made everything around me nicer.)

The first time I did a large enough dose to noticably impact thinking was the afternoon after my abuser had kind of pushed me to a ‘last straw’ sort of moment, but I didn’t have the confidence to actually upend my life to escape. Then I had a change of perspective, realised how stupid I’d been being for months, and entirely noped out of that bullshit. Since then I’ve been living somewhat precariously (until now, when I’m actually decently stable and safe), but I’m vastly happier, and I think that indicates that I made the right choice. Had I not made that choice, I wouldn’t have a life worth living today, and I have little confidence I’d have had one later either.

The second time I took acid I ended up having conversations with some friends and acquaintances that helped me realise the shape of the holes in my social presentation style. And, as such, why I was so bad at enforcing my boundaries (or having them in the first place). I also was able to make plans with some helpful people that will probably make it easier for me to unfuck my life in the long term.

The third time I took acid was in an actually controlled environment, at which point I took a full dose with psychadelic effects. This was the experience during which I tagged @aellagirl​ because I wanted to know more about fixing the effects in place. During this trip, I realised the extent to which being around other human beings causes their mental states to bleed into mine just in general, which allowed me to recognise the value of introvert time. I also learned to actually directly value maintaining my boundaries, which is admittedly not the stereotypical acid outcome, and expect to be a lot better at enforcing boundaries in the future.

I also ended up experiencing pain as pleasure, because I started interpreting all intense experience as euphoria. I was very good at sinking into specific experiences if I chose to, except that if my trip partner was in the room I would necessarily devote at least part of my mind to simulating theirs, which prevented total immersion (except that I could still do total-immersion in empathy). Furthermore, I saw entire worlds composed of beautiful shifting geometric patterns. I’m not under any illusions that this world exists, but it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen and I’d love to make art of it at some point.

But taking a full dose led me to be more confident of some of the things I’d noticed at lower doses but assumed would stop being true of me at higher doses. For one thing, I was entirely lucid and had no trouble switching between short/medium/long term planning. I was directly enjoying and paying attention to each experience, but also curating the music for my trip partner and I and thinking of songs to switch to based on apparent fluctuations in my partner’s mood. Plus I never lost track of what my post-trip plans were.

The other thing was maintaining enough internal emotional control to make bad trips in general exceedingly unlikely. Generally, any time I might be tempted to feel anxious, I just notice that getting anxious would be dumb and... Don’t do that. This is also what I do when I’m sober, which is why I didn’t see a lot of risk to taking pre-psychadelic doses of acid. I’m just more confident that my sober mental skills transfer to (at least one tab of) acid than I was before. The only time I got anxious throughout the whole trip was when I purposefully induced anxiety so I could enjoy it masochistically, and it ended the moment it was no longer the thing I wanted to explore.

I also had no trouble managing the emotions of my trip partner throughout (which I later realised might be its own issue) and, when she went nonverbal near the end, I started liveblogging aloud her thoughts and emotional state since it felt unfair that she could no longer do this for herself. (I was mostly right throughout this, which I could confirm because she reinforcement-learning!trained me by nodding and shaking her head.)

Having now experienced acid three times, with the most recent one having major (and mostly positive) effects, I want to figure out how to fix some of these effects in place. And my first step is... Not taking acid. In fact, I plan to avoid intoxicants in general for about a month.

My goal is to see how much of the temporary mental shifts due to acid I can fix in place into my sober life using just mindset-regulation. As is evidenced from the “Just don’t get anxious” thing, I’m reasonably good at altering mental states with just conscious attention. I’ve currently been working to keep the masochism on fulltime, which seems to be partially working. I’m hoping other aspects of sensory perception while tripping are also things I can bake in long term.

I think I’m unusually well poised to do this because, well, my baseline is actually unusually acid-like. I have near-unlimited patience in a lot of situations, like waiting for the train, because I have little difficulty immersing myself in my current sensory environment and appreciating each tiny fluctuation. I have a generally rose-tinted perception of, well, everything, because I mentally filter my attention to focus on the good over the bad, and to feel the good components of any experience more strongly than the bad ones. By default, I have whatever the reverse of depression is. Plus I have enough conscious control over this that I can hear the same piece of music five different ways sequentially just by adjusting my filter of what components of the piece are most salient. (It’s really fun to point out different elements of a piece to someone in real time and have their face light up as they notice it and their experience shifts :D)

I’m already a universal love kind of person and find it easy to fall into other people’s experiences through empathy. Plus, given time to zone out and self-focus, I can drastically alter my mental state at will using meditation-adjacent things I developed for myself. Oh, and since I was 12 I’ve been able to move sensations of heat around through my body basically at will in ways that have led the more woo-y people around me to declare that I’m close to “Awakening” while I rolled my eyes.

It’s worth noting that, despite having always been a human composed entirely of ecstasy and acid, I’ve never really fallen into mysticism because of this. I’m just not easy to convince of wishy-washy stuff, even if the wishy-washy stuff attempts to flatter my biases. Especially if the wishy-washy stuff flatters my biases. Oh, so my weird successes with meditation prove that I’m more awakened than other people? What reason do I have outside of my ego to possibly believe that?

See also: Me not thinking my acid visions depict a real place, and the fact that at no point on my trip did I lose the feeling that there was an important sense in which my trip partner and I were distinct people. (She lost that sense, though. Admittedly, I sort of trolled her by mimicking her motions and body language at times to increase this effect, because I’m a terrible person.)

However, at the same time, I’m certainly not convinced enough of my own uniqueness not to think I could possibly experience ego death, loss of lucidity, and a sudden devotion to glowing racoons. But, well, those aren’t things I particularly want? I mean, maybe very temporary ego death, but temporary is the key. I want to use acid to steal techniques for improving my existence, but I don’t want to experience values drift on what my goals are or even whether to have goals.

This is part of why I’m trying to see how much progress I can make during a period of sobriety (which I’m having while in a much more comfortable/stable environment), and why I want to know what the effects of acid-drift are from @aellagirl​ in as much detail as possible. (Do you have notes or blog posts you were writing during the process, so I can do timeline analysis?)

✸♡. Where would I be without   🎶  F R I E N D S  🎶  !! .♡✸

In the last few years i’ve always come to love and look forward to the summertime. It always seems to be the time of year I have the biggest adventures, funnest moments, and get into the craziest things. For instance, I got the once in a lifetime chance to see my favorite musical, Hamilton, live. At the same time, Magikarp became one of my top favorite beloved water Pokechildren, right after that I played myself getting tripped into infinite video game hell with four losers on a road trip in my first Final Fantasy game. I watched my favorite speedy hedgehog and his friends RISE BACK to their glory in a True Blue™ revive and just when I thought all dreams couldn’t be reality TOY STORY shows up in KINGDOM HEARTS ya’ll. TOY STORY GONNA BE IN KINGDOM HEARTS YA’LL.

That said, with all of those things, I took notice how just about everything this summer’s offered me has had some unifying line of friendship tucked in it somewhere. And as I rode out Hurricane Harvey, I realized just how great friends are and—just like the many video game characters I adore and love—how good are the ones that motivate, encourage, and surround me. As many of you do or don’t know by now i’ve always gotta close my a one great summer send off post! And though this one’s a bit LATE no thanks to Hurricane Harvey craziness, I couldn’t let the tradition die! For third year in a row ( ♫ WITH THE HELP OF HYPER POTIONS YET AGAIN ♥ ♫ )  here’s another commemoration a huge summer of growth in my life and a big thanks all of you for being a friend! Whether you realize you’ve been one to me or not! ♥ 

✨ — OLD FRIENDS!  

After all of my years saying that my summer commemoration posts aren’t follow forevers, ya’ll are the ones who finally make this post an Official™ “Follow Forever”. Cause I really have followed you for two to three years now! And I probably will again if I remade another blog! And a blog after that! Ya’ll make my dash HOME and the time that I waste here on Tumblr is always worth it because I get to see you. Thanks for being so epic for all these years!

🌱 — NEW FRIENDS! 

I picked up a handful of you before the summer, but it doesn’t mean I love you any less. You’ve added new shades of color to my life and every time I see your url or when we talk it’s always the best reminder of why the days so far this year have been that much more brighter!

👋🏾 — THE ‘YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME TOO’ FRIENDS!

Our posts are so very different, but here you are anyways! Though we hardly talk or chat, when we do there’s always a sparkle in my eyes because you’re always so kind to me and are all such wonderful people who I love to follow along with on my dash. If you ever need anything, i’ve gotchu! Because yes! I every much consider each of you as distant friends. ♥

@steinfeldofrph ✿ @victnam ✿ @dannyphantomrps ✿ @bobbybrigs ✿ @ofmymuses ✿ @queenchiddy ✿ @perfectxplaces ✿

There’s plenty more super special friends i’ve acknowledged under the cut, because I didn’t want this looking too long on your dashboards. But again, to all I say, thanks for another fantastic summer and even MORE thanks for being a Friend™! ♥ 

—Another special shoutout to @pandora-box-of-mind for the two wonderful, adorable, commissions that are apart of the gifs in my graphic. I can’t wait to commission you again, Pandora! ♥ (The art in middle graphic though, belongs to me y’all!! 😩 🙌🏽 )

🌻 — THE ‘ROYAL AVENUE’ FRIENDS

Ah yes, another year, another space to tag all of you in. Royal Avenue™ sounds fancy, but actually it’s just the name of a Pokemon theme I jam to all the time ;u;  Das because I love y’all and you’re my jam.♥   I probably tell some of yall that all the time by how much we talk. But now like this everyone can see me say it.  And most of you are my partners too and I’m sorry excessive yelling over video games kept me away from replies this summer.

👾 🎮 — THE SUPER GAMING CREW FRIENDS

For as long as i’ve associated myself with the RPC I always used to feel so self conscious about posting gaming content because of how it didn’t meet whatever weird “aesthetic and FC” standard I felt RP blogs should have. I’m probably making a big deal out of nothing, but as i’ve finally grown to confidently reflect my interests onto my own blog, you three are the ones are the first i’ve personally ever seen in this community to do so with beauty and grace and it’s inspired me everyday to feel it’s okay not to post what everyone posts and love what you love! I love seeing the games you love, and I love talking with you about them too! I’m glad they led me to you!

💕 — THE FAMILY I NEVER KNEW FRIENDS!

I remember the first time Chris asked me to join the group chat back in y’alls Skype days and honestly, I can’t believe I went so long in my life without all of you. On nights I felt like endlessly crying, you made me laugh until my sides ached. On days I felt like giving up, all of you were there to cheer me on—even when you had your own burden of problems. They say friends are the family you choose for yourself, and i’m so blesst™ all of you chose little ole’ me. ☺️

♡ @jeauxlyne ♡ @josukegod ♡ @sharkmama ♡ @sauceaonmyballs ♡ @shinjiswhatever ♡ @sir-introvert ♡ AND OFC ALWAYS YOU @aeoneon ♡

And now for a set of LET ME HOLLA AT YOU FRIENDS

[ Taylor Swift’s Best Friend ( @starshineswrite ) ] - I know what you’re thinking: ‘wtf mimi we’re not even that close for me to earn this space’ but THAT doesn’t mean i’m not making this space for you anyways!!! I adore you so much Kat. You’re so strong even when you have to go through the stupidest stuff. I love when we talk. I loved earlier this year when we got to heart to heart. I just wanted to remind you again just how amazing you are and how much I love you. I’m actually high key excited to experience Reputation with you. :’D

[ The Ladybug Friend ( @pcnnywises ) ] - Even though I don’t say it as much as I used to, and when you doubt that I do, I love you so much bbgirl. I’ll never forget the day you messaged me and we talked the whole day nonstop and after being mutuals I was so happy that you did. I adore you. And all your 654654654651 celeb crushes. You’re wonderful and don’t you forget it. ♥

[ The Friend from the Lyon’s™ Den ( @b-almighty ) ] - Kay it always amuses me so much that I found you through your amazing Empire liveblogs and we ended up having RIDICULOUSLY so much more  in common. I know we hardly talk, but I really appreciate you and I love watching you blog about everything else you love. 

[The ‘dang I wish I could be you, Friend ( @plumwrites ) ] - For years now your posts have made me laugh and your no nonsense attitude has been a delight in my life. I love reading the posts, your tags, and responses you make to things and just thinking ‘dang I wish I could be like bridge about things’. I just love how real you are and I wish I can get some guts to be like that one day. I know you’ve been going through some things recently, but you’re always on my mind. ♥ If you need anything just shout!

[ Lady’s Best Friend ( @amcthystwrites) ] - I’m really sorry this summer wasn’t one of our best ones. That’s mostly on my part, but already I see things shaping back together as they were before and I never doubted that it’d happen that way.

[ Dearly Beloved™ ( @naaatalie ) ] - [ DOING THE 400 CHARACTERS OR LESS CHALLENGE ] I try my best not to get sappy on you often, but I do want you to know how happy you make me and that I can’t express how grateful I am for you. ♥ I’m genuinely so honored and fortunate that after these years you made the choice to Keep™ me and now we’ve got TWO giant, amazing, universes filled with the hugest variety characters that i’m far beyond excited to see grow with you. You’re the Umbra to my Pryna, my penpal, my bestie, The Ruthless Angst Master™. I’ve got so much to thank you for. ♥

TILL NEXT SUMMER YALL!!! ♥

[jonliveblogs]

As I suspected, with the school year in progress, I have had absolutely no time to do any liveblogging. I don’t expect that to change anytime soon, but I am saving up the Ducktales episodes in a probably naive hope that it does.

However, tomorrow, a new wave of Steven Universe episodes are being released. Now, SU liveblogs are what got me into this hobby, but I’ve always been hesitant about joining it for that show. While it’s a great show that definitely merits close attention to every detail, it’s my personal stance that the first watch should be real-time. There’s been a number of moments that get slowly built up over the course of an episode, and if you’re repeatedly pausing and analyzing, you don’t get quite the same emotional gut-punch. So, ever since I had caught up and was watching episodes as they aired, I’ve been making instant reactions, text logs that I type as I watch the episode, no pausing or rewinding. Sometimes, I miss something, sometimes it starts to get a bit incoherent, but it’s my raw, first-impression reaction to an episode.

And it’s the closest thing to a liveblog (i.e. what you came here for, if you follow this blog) that I’m going to be able to do in the near future. So, for the next few days, feel free to join me at my SU sideblog, @sharethisgemwithme, as I find time in between a school trip and football to watch the new wave of episodes.

DigiFes 2016 Special Drama - liveblogging & random thoughts

I decided to give the subbed Special Drama a second watch and do a little write up on it, because this may be the funniest thing tri. has given us so far.

If you haven’t watched it yet, please DO IT NOW! It really must be seen to be appreciated fully, as the Voice Actors are fantastic in this and it’s particularly satisfying to hear the audience’s reactions - proving that the running gags in the series are pretty much universal. 

Oh, and a huge thanks to onkei-kun for allowing us to access this gift!

The drama starts with a brief recap video with scenes from Saikai and Ketsui. Yay! Nothing like being reminded of the kids happy, normal lives with their Digimon before all the bad things happened and their lives were wrecked! 

By the way, regarding the timeline: this beach trip actually fits the series. It takes place “in one summer day”, after the trip to the hot springs, but before Mystery Man shows up. Looking at the timeline of Ketsui, this probably happens after the Monday when Taichi & co talk to Nishijima at the school and before the chain of events that starts when  Orgemon appears and culminates with the school festival. This explains why everyone is still so happy-go-lucky. 

TL;DR: it may take some mental gymnastics, but this story fits the main timeline and so, presumably, it could be considered ‘canon’.

There’s something utterly endearing about the voice actors, especially the veteran ladies who are all sorts of adorable. I love how some of them are wearing clothes that reflect their characters - Shigematsu Atori stans particularly hard for Piyomon! Mimi’s actress is wearing a dress with cactuses (cacti?)! 

I only recently found out Tentomon isn’t played by an old man but rather by a very talented and prolific young actor, so he’s automatically my favourite (along with Legend Takeuchi Junko).

Speaking of which, it’s now established that Tentomon is a major enabler in Koushirou’s new-found lewdeness, which is both hilarious and frightening when you think about it. Koushirou stealing his dad’s camera is bad enough, but Tento encouraging him to take bikini pics is a new low.

This one belongs in a “Digimon out of context” blog.

Agumon’s food gags are getting old fast (Tailmon agrees). I still laughed though because THAT VOICE.

Also, it seems Mimi dragged Jou into this mess, which is both expected and admirable.

JouxMimi fans, rejoice!

The point of this trip is to introduce Jou to Meiko, which the movies kind of had to skip over. Can’t blame them for that, but thankfully we get a nice little moment out of this. 

Jou calls her Mochizuki-kun, which is pretty cute!

Jou, the only person who would match Meiko in an apology contest.

I realise tri. has made me incapable of interpreting any of Takeru’s lines in a straight-faced way, but c’mon, this is TOTALLY intentional.

In case you’re wondering, Yamato and Taichi are still on a break.

Describe tri. in three words.

Even Hikari is starting to troll Yamato and Taichi. Takeru is a bad influence.

This applies to cooking, bands, holding grudges, and career options.

You know, asking Agumon to light a fire is not a bad idea considering that it probably saved them from starving plenty of times when they were kids.

Does this grill belong to Hiroaki? Is that why Yamato is so against Agumon destroying it?

Oh, *BURN*.

Someone take the url “Bacon Yamato” since I believe Knife of Ramen is already taken. 

And yes, Agumon, I’m sure he’s delicious.

Takeru quitely slips in an “onii-chan” at this point because he’s the literal worst.

Anyway, Yamato being a barbecue aficionado, expert, and utter perfectionist is one of my favourite new random facts about him. Thank you, tri.

Quick, someone write a AU when Yamato presents the Japanese version of Kitchen Nightmares. I’m sure he and Gordon Ramsey would hit it off.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH THIS IDIOT

Sidenote, but in addition to a perfect voice, Jou’s VA has the best facial expressions.

Where’s the lie, though.

Koushirou fainting after Mimi poses for him in a swimsuit requires zero animation to land, and it’s AWESOME.

Digimon: doing jokes about teen pervs without actually showing any questionable content. Hooray!

Mimi, HA POWAH

Taichi and Yamato blushing for girls in bikinis is my new aesthetics.

Also, faithful to the spirit of tri., this doesn’t really specify who they’re blushing for. I mean, it’s Sora, but Meiko is also mentioned and Mimi’s around so all your shipping fantasies remain intact! tri. truly is a gift to all fans.

This suave motherfucker.

It’s undeniably canon that Takeru has a weird obsession with Meiko’s cuteness and if it wasn’t for the age difference we’d all be freaking out about this ship.

It’s also undeniably canon that Takeru likes older women and you cannot convince me otherwise.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, BITCHES

Takeru immediately compliments the other girls because you would want to keep your options open while showing the other guys how it’s done.

The voice of reason in this mess and probably why Takari never happened.

Mimi’s right. Taichi should learn from Takeru. In fact, everyone should take notes.

I literally went on Merriam Webster to look up “smarty” because I’m adopting that word from now on.

Please, Yamato, spend more time with your brother.

As people have pointed out, this shows that the only reason why Yamato ever got with Sora is because Takeru pulled all the strings and told him what to do at all times.

Exactly, Yamato. Good strategy.

Takeru’s VA is literally Takeru IRL and I’m dying at his perfect expressions.

Feminist Queen Mimi is right as always.

YAS! Drop all the men and steal Taichi’s goggles while you’re at it!

Because he’s smarty AND smart.

Honestly,  the way these Digimon talk about their partners, there’s no way anyone can have self-esteem issues in this team! A Digimon is a girl’s best friend!

“You smell nice” and “It feels good getting hugs from you”. Only Takeru could make these pick up lines work!

“It’s better to be pathetic than to be a pervert” - life lessons from the Digimon Adventure boys. 

I simply imagine Gomamon saying this at random points in Jou’s life.

Obigatory JOOOOOOOOOOO moment! Take a shot!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH MARRY ME JOU I’m human

Now that compliments have been delivered, we can finally get to the damn barbecue.

No Mimi, you cannot swim AFTER you eat!

RIP Mei! 

And because this is tri, you have to end a comic sketch in a tragic note and eerie foreshadowing! FUN!

In Conclusion: This very short drama has a fantastic script that totally gets the characters, the amazing cast gets to shine, and it’s FUNNY as hell. Please, TOEI, do more of these in the future. We’ll buy it.

Also, can we please have a spin-off series dedicated to Takeru’s life as a professional  troll and fuckboi? Cause I’d watch the shit out of that and I know I’m not alone.

I was tagged by @anoasisinawasteland (who helped me immensely with planning my P&P Nygmobblepot au which I promise I'm working on)

Name: Q (Yes I have more name than that but it's the part I like the best and it's the only part I'm gonna share)

Nickname: somebody once called me a 'liberal fascist' behind my back for having a Bernie sticker... does that count?

Gender: ??? I compartmentalized my personality & each compartment kinda identifies differently so... it depends on who ur talking to, if that makes any sense. All pronouns are acceptable. Most people say female.

Star Sign: Libra

Sexual Orientation: Ace/Bi or Ace/Lesbian if that compulsive het stuff is true of me idk

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw w/ a strong secondary Slytherin

Favorite Colors: teal/turquoise, blues, greens, the blue end of the violet spectrum, plum/wine, slate

Favorite Animals: Otters & Corvids bc they're smart as heck & really fun. Rabbits bc I have one & she's great.

Average hours of sleep: probably 7. 8-9 is preferable but 5-6 happens too much. Can do 4 or 12 with the right circumstances

Cat or dog person: Cat. Dogs are okay is small doses.

Favorite Fictional Characters: oh boy... Riddler/Ed Nygma, Emmerson Cod, Fingolfin, Combeferre, Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, James Wesley, Chirrut Imwe, Phryne Fisher, Beorn, Treebeard, Montgomery Scott, Temeraire, F'nor, Florean Fortescue, Queenie Goldstein, Zoe Washburn, Mary Watson, Peggy Carter, and whole bunch more

Dream Job: Viking Archaeologist OR Forensic Toxicologist OR Author... depending on what I enjoy more in college. Particle Physicist scores 4th

When Was This Blog Created: Beginning of my freshman year (well actually no, this is my second blog from the end of my freshman year, so yeah...), about 4 years ago

Current Number Of Followers: 218 as of this afternoon

When Did Your Blog Reach Its Peak: I'm a multifandom blog I don't think those get one peak. Basically it goes up every time I join a new fandom, esp. if I liveblog a show

What Made You Decide To Make A Tumblr: I got my first personal device from my school (bc i'm surrounded by rich people) & spent hours on youtube watching cosplay tutorials & my favorite cosplayer talked about tumblr a lot so I checked hers out. It was very neat & organized & I thought it would be cool to do one and kind of... tripped and fell off the cliff into the madness that is this website.

I won't be tagging anyone, sorry. Feel free to do it if you like, though!
