Don’t CAREE what y’all say @mattscoquette is the best Matt girl on this app

I really love how shonen manga often begins with the protagonist (accidentally) obtaining some kind of new ability and thus gaining entry to a new community that they were unable to access/unaware of (e.g. MHA, JJK), but in Yomi no Tsugai it's the reverse? Like everyone is chasing after Yuru and trying to force him into activating his dormant power, and Yuru is like "fuck y'all" and beats them up without said power. It's beautiful

Hey my loves of my besties.

This post is a bit personal now. It is a story about Sleep Token, to be exact it is my story with them.

Because it still feels surreal to me.

So... it all started on January 7 in Dusseldorf, Germany, Mitsubishi Electric Hall.

I was there with one of my friends from uni, and also with my male best friend, we decided to see Architects and Northlane. We couldnt care less about the boys (I am very sorry for that now), they weren't relevant to us.

But after opening up with Chokehold and playing Alkaline, dude holy shit, they got me.

I started digging into their music, listened to every song ever since. And then I realized, they once were in my Spotify suggestions with "Hypnosis". But hell, that was back in 2022, and I had no idea.

But when Vore was released and they announced their Wembley ritual I tried to find someone who wanted to go with me. This is how I met a friend who now is coming with me to Birmingham and Cardiff. My friend from uni also wanted to join us.

My old blog went through so many changes, from James McAvoy to Pedro Pascal to Sleep Token. And then it got deleted. It didn't stop me. Tumblr couldn't stop my obsession.

So... I created an account again, ...

This baby, vesselsscarlet.

I didn't know it would end up as a blog with at least 200 followers, and people actually liking my stuff and ... Most importantly..

Me. Lia. That person that runs this account.

My darlings.. oh my darlings..

@moonchild-in-blue @ittwuh (I miss you darling) @autumns-veil @a-s-levynn and @con-clavi-con-jae were the first people that decided to be my besties. And then it was followed by lovie herself @fivewholeminutes and also dearest @thejawsoffate ...

Like ... how did this happen? I barely knew any people and now... I've got these people here. Wanted to be friends with me.

My account blew up... I didn't know what to do..

But @takemetoasgard @sleeby-vessel @polteergeistt @aquareegia @sleep-token @sleepanonymous @alexghost07 @the-devoured @nullcode @ccsven and even the ones I barely/never really talked to (I am sorry, I suck at interactions but ily) but are also worth mentioning... as for: @loveinthemindpalace @houseofache @ghxstly-death @crying-neptune @eepymonstrr @thevenomousseprent .. and so many more..

I cannot express anything that is showing my gratitude towards you all.

You all... made it special. You are the reason why I am still up here.

And when it comes to the UK Tour this year...

I cannot believe it but I am gonna do it with so many amazing people (either for the entire four rituals or a few or just meeting up for one particular ritual):

@fivewholeminutes @a-s-levynn @thejawsoffate @moonchild-in-blue @sleeby-vessel @alexghost07 Alina (my very first sleep token friend who got me the Wembley tickets) and Philipp (my uni friend)...

If you made it this far...

Thank you for being here. Thank you for being my friend/mutual.

And if you are specifically tagged..

I hope you don't mind it. But ....

Thank you so much to you as well for being my bestie. You are the best.

And thank you to Sleep Token for gifting me these incredible people.

With that being said...

Lets keep this up, and I am glad to be here.🥺

Feeling country today and this is a nice soft one for a Prikolai https://youtu.be/zxMo0CZZzyg?si=261zRZInvZX8dKV0

And not so soft is Graves fucking theme song when he's being a Brat. Like the dumb blond is playing the song on his speakers when he's GOING to get an attitude correction. He doesn't make the rules fellas

https://youtu.be/da7qJvYFfpc?si=ttuyeUDx_qZkd8SI

Soft Prikolai is beautiful.

And Graves?? @nekrosmos, come get your man, bro. He's in my inbox being a brat. Lia's even given you a song to beast him with.

[iliadeleart]

Thank you to everyone leaving a nice comment in the tags for my art, I’ve been really struggling in general lately and especially with being self critical of my work / being way too hard on myself, I’m happy even just a little fanart makes you smile 😊

[carlyleandco]

Okay now for some criticisms:

- It felt like they deliberately avoided some of the dialogue from the books? Like in some scenes they’d say something new which in all honestly could’ve instead been direct quotes from the book.

- Some character motivations changed too, like Lockwood not wanting Lucy to use touch on the ring/necklace the morning after Annabel’s apparition appears in the attic when in reality in TSS he did want her ‘as an asset’ to explore if it was worth continuing the case.

- Combe Carey was very rushed and I didn’t feel scared watching it like I did reading because it was just devoid of tension.

- Actually a lot of the scenes could have been scarier. But maybe it wasn’t as much for us because we all knew what was coming in every scene.

- In fact the whole set up with Fairfax was rushed, and while sticking to how the books introduce him is predictable with him being the murderer, it flows much more smoothly when Lockwood finally figures it out and yet still purposefully puts Lucy and George in danger, albeit well prepared.

- And where they changed the scenes in some parts felt unnecessary, like having Barnes ring instead of him coming over and seeing the ghost jar etc. Iconic moments like that were glossed over.

- WE GOT NO RAT GHOST :(

- No ‘burglary’s more fun than socialising’ :(

- Some of the comedy was missing imo, especially with the Skull. In fact, I really wished we’d gotten the nighttime talk with the trio, where Lucy hears the skull from the oven.

- Kipps asking Lucy on a date??? I’m sorry, but no thanks drop that plotline immediately

[heretherebewolves]

Alternatively though - some bookmark notes are just... Life giving. I'll never forget the person who fully declared that they hated me; they then went on to say it was because the fic had changed their life, made them laugh and cry and root for the bad guys and worry for the good guys.

I believe the first like was actually "fuck you, author".

Sometimes they're an absolute delight. But yeah... Please keep it kind.

Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

[givingchrisheadrn]

Hot take, but I don’t like dealer!matt..

I just can’t see it

[junosswans]

I was put in charge of carving the jack o lantern, so naturally I made an fma one xD this is my first time carving a pumpkin!! And I'm pretty happy about it I think it looks cool!!!

If you turn Al around you'll find Pride hidden in the back 👀...

[vesselsscarlet]

Still thinking of writing an Intro post here.

As I feel like it could be necessary for new people. But on the other side I don't like talking about myself...

[carlyleandco]

Me writing a post TEG fanfic spurred on by the show?? We are living in unprecedented times

[givingchrisheadrn]

I think I just creamed omg.

Batfam headcanons: Report Writing

I was thinking about nonsense then it occured to me "how would the batfam write their mission/patrol report?" Like, they must have very distinct personal style that you could recognise even through the standard bat-computer font. So I wrote this!

Dick: When Dick was still Robin, he absolutely HATED writing reports. "I write enough reports at school, B-man! Why would you make me write more??" He would attempt to wriggle out of the task by bribing Alfred with snacks or offering to do chores in exchange, because anything is better than sitting straight in front of the computer and typing (they usually indulge him and let him be). He'd also slip in a few swear words and gloss over details when he HAD to write something. His reports were short and written in a slightly childish manner. However, after becoming Nightwing and moving out, his report have made drastic improvement because hey, you definitely get a lot of practice in writing admin papers as a cop. His writing style is now concise and straight to the point, filled with professional jargons and divided in clear bullet points. All the photos are properly numbered and labelled, in a typical forensic science style. (Though admittedly, he still hates writing reports. But it's something that he wouldn't let his siblings know.) He's however, chronically late in submitting his reports, because he always has a lot of things to do and he has a bad case of procrastinating when it's something he dislikes.

Jason: Jason entered the clan with a lot of anxiety (Will I be accepted? Will I ever measure up to Dick?) And a lot of insecurities. So he treats report writing very seriously and is very detailed and thorough. He tries his best to adhere to the format Bruce gave him, and would triple check his spellings and grammars (another insecurity of him). As Red Hood, he still writes his reports (reluctantly) in the same cautious manner, and he would spend a lot of time profiling the victims and the perpetrators, because it always feels personal to him. He sympathises with both sides, understands their struggles and darkness intimately, and it shows in his written report. His reports on the person of interest's background and psychological analysis is always the most detailed and on-point. He writes in paragraphs usually, and he has a broad vocabulary that leans more on the literary side. Tim comments that he feels like he's in highschool lit class whenever he needs to read Jason's report for something, since Jason's prose always has a poetic and emotional tone to it.

Tim: Tim writes his reports dutifully and very seriously, but his seriousness doesn't always translate to a piece of good report. As a kid who has the tendency to ramble, is nosey, AND has photographic memory, Tim's reports are filled with details that nobody knows whether they are necessary. He would go off and transcribe all the dialogues he heard (including the passers-by), list out all the items in the nearby trashcan, and note down how the fast food shop down the corner has a buy-one-get-one-free promotion on hotdogs. He digresses a lot, but since his eyes for details did help crack a case once or twice (definitely more than that), Bruce lets it slip. His formatting are a mess, sometimes using bullet points and suddenly switch into paragraphs and then somehow becomes a tree diagram, his reports are definitely an eyesore (Bruce, regrettably, doesn't let this slip). As Red Robin, he's made a lot of improvements on his formatting (company paperwork does that to you) and is a bit more brief, but he still has the tendency to note down the oddest things in his reports. His reports also has the most amount of photos.

Cass: Cass is still pretty new to this whole writing thing and computer thing, so she gets a lot of leeway in her report writing. She is allowed to hand this work to others (if she's on a teamed mission), or use photos, pictures and handwriting/doodling to make her point (Bruce would later code & transcribe them to make them searchable on the database). Though given the freedom to not do the work (which her siblings are deeply envious of), Cass actually likes to write her version of reports as she treats this as an opportunity to practice her literacy. Her reports look like a collage journal with very sparse, simple writing. She also has the tendency to just put in a few seemingly unrelated keywords and let others figure out the significance behind them. They're usually very insightful and useful to the case. She also likes to draw in her reports, which everyone finds endearing. Babs taught her how to draw scientific diagrams and label the items, which she puts good use to. Since she's very observant to the human anatomy and body language, the family relies a lot on her reading when there is multiple suspects.

Damian: As "the proper heir to the robin title", Damian has a no-bullshit attitude on his reports. He submits them on time, is clear in his writing, and the format is impeccable. He has a very goal-oriented view on things, so his reports tend to focus largely on the outcome of cases instead of the process (a polar opposite to Jason's and Tim's reports). He would write a lot on how and when the culprit was captured, and the consequences that await them, while some other members tend to focus more on the process of deduction and puzzle-solving. Somedays, when he is particularly annoyed with others, Damian would slip in complaints into his reports and make sure everyone KNOWS he's upset. It's like a public call-out post.

Babs: As Batgirl, Babs writes the clearest and most condensed report out of everyone, cause she learned the best from her father. She has a keen eye on analysing material evidence, and would notice the smallest scratch on things and document them faithfully in her report. She likes to use abbreviations however, and that often confuses Damian and Cass ("what does OAN even mean?? Is that a type of wire??"). Sometimes she'd abbreviate the weirdest things just to confuse everyone else and they can beg her to explain them. As Oracle, she doesn't write any reports. YOU write reports to Oracle.

Steph: Steph is passionately against the idea of report writing. In her opinion, if she delivers the result there shouldn't be a need to write pages long of boring, bland descriptions on how that result is achieved. To various degrees of success, she would bribe others into doing the work for her ("work smarter, not harder, baby!") But when she has to write something, she would write in a very casual tone and often types with voice input. Therefore, her reports are filled with odd typos and occasionally hilarious choice of words (not because she couldn't be professional, but she doesn't want to be). Bruce is mostly frustrated but is also secretly glad that she's not forcing herself to do something that she doesn't want to. And she is true that she always delivers.

Duke: Duke is mostly neutral towards the aspect of report writing-- he's not particularly fond of it, but he understands that it is something important. Thanks to his superhuman vision, Duke is very alert in observing his surroundings and the environment. He would map out very detailed diagrams about building structures as well as machine components, which makes his reports very reliable when it comes to any kind of crimes related to alien items and technological innovations. Duke also has a large network from his Robingang, so he's very informed in the rumours and hearsays on the streets. He would include most of what he's heard in his reports so that others could follow up on them at night.

Little information drop (because it is important for me):

I am not active on here right now, because I am studying for my last 3 exams in chemistry. I am absolutely freaking out because of them and that is why my insomnia is back.

If you want to interact with me, show something to me, make sure please to tag me. This would help a lot. When you have added me on Discord you can also send me stuff there.

I will come back as soon as I can.

Thank you so much for understanding besties. Take care. Love you all!

Lia

(Also @takemetoasgard I am sorry that I forgot your day yesterday, I really feel so bad about it, and I will make something special for you!)
