Here we go again...

---

Ever since Book of Bill got a whole swathe of frankly cracking Gravity Falls art popping up on my dashboard again it got me looking back through my own old art. And would you believe it?

My first post was 10 years ago today

So in celebration, a redraw of that post- with a little twist!

🎉

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

#crochet #knitting #needlepoint #sewing #embroidery #shoutout to the time it took me 4 years to make my dad a hat. and like 6 years to make a turtle for a teacher.#i picked up yarn spinning for ONE day in like 2017. i have not done it since.#there's a half finished elephant amigurumi sitting in a basket and i started that guy in like 2011 #i have two maybe three shawls i know of that are sitting unfinished in a storage bag #plenty of swatches of things that i start and lose interest in #currently i have a cardigan i wanted to make and started it and then got bored so i stopped #there's a hat i was knitting for my nanna that i started maybe 2 days before she passed #and that's sat unfinished i can't even look at it. i have no clue if i'll ever actually finish it.#there's at least one skirt i never finished sewing. and two skirts i have all the materials for but haven't started.#i know i have one beach cover up dress and one cover up skirt that i started in 2017 and didn't finish.#i think my oldest work in progress though dates back to when i was 9 or 10. i made a slipper. never finished the other foot.#that was in 2005 or 06. so literally i might have WIPs older than someone who is reading this.#and those are the just some of the ones i REMEMBER. buried in my yarn stash are probably others i've just forgotten.

you ever get sad that all the critters you loved the most as a child existed before you had access to the technology to document their little lives? truly so many little animals that were so dear to me as a child that i have maybe a single grainy photo of

#my heart cat i have like. idk 30 photos and not a single video #he died in 2011 at 6 years old #my lease horse ghostly i have two or three videos and maybe 10 photos. he died in 2015 #i think of taco who has like hundreds of videos and pictures and it's soooo crazy #i also had birds and rats and a mouse and a rabbit etc etc that i remember only from one or two photos

omfg . radio play version of much ado with david as benedick from 2001

#this version of benedick is a lottttt more serious and restrained than the 2011 version #definitely due to the medium and bc it matches the energy of this version of beatrice way better #it's not david and catherine's insane comedic chemistry but it's still really good imo..#like it's obviously not as endlessly fucking funny as the 2011 version but it's still really solid #and i'm impressed with how they did the humor in a 100% audio format #and i actually really love this interpretation of benedick as more cynical and leaning into his Hater side #ironically david's benedick here generally comes off as older and more mature than his benedick 10 years later #'the prince's fool... hAhH???' is obviously extremely funny but also 'the prince's fool... [uppity hmph]' is Inspired #and his outraged 'oh!'s and gasps and sighs when he listens to don pedro/claudio/leonato talking abt beatrice being in love with him #also funnily enough i think benedick's whole monologue after this is SO good. if not better than the 2011 version #cuz it's more restrained you have benedick's haterism actively fighting and losing against his satisfaction and giddy laughter #and the bit where benedick challenges claudio is so ohhhghhgouhgghg #the way his voice deepens with 'and her death shall fall heavy on you' just FLOORS me it's fucking perfect #but also equally as fun are the line readings where they have evidently remained the same (or similar)#my dearrrrr ladyyyy disdaiiiiinnnn #and the 'she misused me past the endurance of a block' rant #and when he's bitching about claudio falling in love w hero #but the vibes are so different this feels like a whole separate guy and that's really cool #i'm not sure how much i would love this production overall if i wasn't as familiar w the play tho #much ado #shakespeare #essentially trying to say in the least embarrassing way possible that david tennant is now both my first and second favorite benedick

There is an in-universe reason for why Ichika, Saki and Miku cover Time Machine, which Saki explains in the After Live for the Tenma Household's Hinamatsuri event.

According to Saki, Ichika recommended the song to her several years ago, and she used to listen to it in hospital. The song reminded her of her brother, Tsukasa, and her other family and friends who would visit her in hospital.

It is unknown exactly when Ichika recommended the song to Saki, and it is not easy to narrow down either given that Time Machine, originally released in September 2010, would have existed during the majority of Saki's stays in hospital. Saki says that it was "a long time ago", which might mean that she listened to the song during one of her long-term hospital stays 10 years prior to the game's present day, rather than her stay during Junior High.

This After Live also marks the first time Leo/need performs the song within canon.

#saki tenma #ichika hoshino #songs #tenma household's hinamatsuri #project sekai #bit of context for that third paragraph: saki was born in 2005. it's never explicitly stated but you can work it out.#so the flashbacks to her and tsukasa as kids are in roughly 2011. possibly 2012. dazzling says they were 10 years ago.#it kinda just comes down to when dazzling is set in regards to the timeloop (it loops at march 31st 2022 back to april 1st 2021)#yes i have a full post about this in my drafts

ramble ahead about time, tatinof, 2015 and changing one's life

tatinof is very special and im so happy they did this video to acknowledge that its not cringe at all and that theyre proud of their past selves !! there's sth genuinely healing about that !! ive had a hard time in 2015 and even tho i was 12/13 and just discovered that online fan communities of things i was into were a thing and was nowhere close to the phandom (i joined after BIG), this is the fandom internet that i joined back then. thats why its so poetic that they sing 'the internet is here', because to me this is the time it started to be there for me. it wasnt always kind to me and instagram was not a great platform to start on if your bullies and other ppl from school were also on it, but it was also when for the first time ever i realised that there were not only people who liked what i liked but that those ppl also have created their own culture and community online !! i was not totally alone !! there is a life outside of school !! i would never chose to go back to that time ever like it was horrible (that applies to any time in the past tho, i hate the idea of 'going back in time' with a passion) but im glad that the internet was there for me because no one else really was if im being real with you.

more below the cut because im an insufferable yapper (dan is a terrible influence haha tit joke)

this all is maybe why i find it hard to go back to watch dnps older content and also the stuff from the tatinof era. dan's sarcastic self-hating persona and phils innocent nerd persona are both hitting a bit too close to home and i want to both cry for them and for myself. we knew nothing back then. we were lost and yet did sth we were proud of. yet here we are almost 10 years later and how the fuck did we end up here but oh my god im so proud of us. all it took for me was to watch dan's coming out video. all it took for them was to be embraced and loved by their audience (us). dan also needed a break which is something that at the time it happend was really hard for me but then i found my wonderful lovely phannie discord friends here. we really all got here together and if i ever see any single person say that dnp hate us or dan hates it or that dnp are cringe or that we are cringe etc etc i will block you so hard because what are you even doing bringing up drama when in reality dan and phil and the phandom have developed the most remarkable symbiotic relationship between artist adn fans ever. they are our dads and i honestly just want to say how fucking proud i am of them for how far theyve come and what theyve done since 2015. dan really did the whole mental health and gay thing but then he did the mental health again!! and i think ywgttn and wad need to be given more credit here because idk if you remember pre-wad dan but he wasnt anything like post wad dan. every since wad he seems so happy and genuinely authetic and in peace. (im ignoring dystopia daily here because that was filmed before wad and his dd persona also reminds me too much of 2015 depressed dan than whatever high concept he was going for lol, im just not a dd fan). like wad changed his relationship with us and its warming my entire heart when i see dan smile so much now. he deserves to be happy and proud. and if dan deserved it after going through so much and coming out on top (literally), then i deserve it too. and phil? i love how he's just so confident now. fuck. (literally). he is not the innocent nerd anymore like he actually is fully really himself now and feels comfortable in his body (crop top, phlonde, etc) and openly expressing his sexuality ! even compare this phil to phil from the beginning of the hiatus!! he got so much more confident and relaxed since then!! like fully, really, if he can do it, if he can strip himself of the persona that ppl have attributed to him because of his anxiety, then i can do that too. im so proud of phil. he is an inspiration and the more he's being himself publically with no shame, the more an autistic phannie will feel hopeful for their future. im so proud of both of them.

like its crazy you go through your life thinking you're going nowhere and never making any progress and will never reach your goals but then you stop and look back what you were like 6 months ago and realise how many lives you have lived since then. it always goes back to BIG when dan said this:

[...] I thought I was trapped in a situation forever when in reality, the entire world I lived in and my life changed completely. I thought it was hopeless when in reality there was so much to hope for and that's it. Time changes everything. With the lives that we have, we can try anything we've dreamed of. I want anyone that's ever felt like this to realize you are never trapped. There is always hope. You just need to believe in yourself and get to the other side.

this everyone, changed my life. and i will never be able to thank dan enough for it, no matter how much i pay for tour tickets, how often i watch their videos or share my love for them on here. i just want to mention this because its never just 'light entertainment', it means the world to many of us and we have build a wonderful and loving community despite the hardships of the past and pointless discourses of the present. like, we can change shit for ourselves because we see these gay idiots do it who have done soooo fucking much in the last 15 years like they were on radio 1 and on a hollywood billboard and hosted various big big events. and yet, they decided they want to use their time to do things for themselves and their community. they have said many times that they havent made a profit from (parts of) their tours but they do it regardless. they do really love us and i dont think ive ever really felt loved by people who i was in a fandom for like that. its really not as parasocial as it might seem anymore. we got here together and we should be proud of that. i love dnp and i love you phannies so much !! 💕💕💕💕💕

#i hope they react to ii next because ive actually watched that one a lot and am a bit more emotionally connected to it #(because i joined the phandom after big i didnt experience any of the joint tours in real time but ii was still relativeley timely in #summer 2019 so i ended up watching it a lot)#the beginning of the post is making it sound like i never went online before 2015 but oh boy thats so not true ahaaaha #this is just when i made my ig and twitter account (dont tell elon yes i already did serve 7 days in twitter jail for lying about my age an #then got the account back its all fine)#i started watching minecraft videos in 2011 and also knew how to use the internet before that bc we had internet lessons in primary school #yes it was very cool and yes the child safe search engines that we were taught to search on havent existed for 10 years #this took me over an hour to write after midnight i need to sleep ahh #sage posting #dnp #phan #dan and phil #daniel howell #amazingphil

at this point I don't even know if tag fragmentation in the general russian holmes space is worth addressing. a few years ago I successfully kept the ancient customs intact because I wrote a post so deranged and pretentious it displeased people into doing what I wanted but nowadays what's the point in making a grand return of being terminally online if yall kinda right

#history: in the ice age the soviet series were exclusively russian sherlock holmes #the 2013 show is about to appear under a surprisingly generic title of Sherlock Holmes that is also russian #the contemporaries can't come up with anything better than naming it the new russian holmes #it is a decade later #soon it will be 11 years of nrh being *new*#and russian sh keeps dying out in favour of soviet sh #tag fragmentation occurs where the historic russian sh name with almost 15 years of tumblr history gets shafted in favour of soviet sh #a relatively new tag nowhere near of the russian sh legacy #as someone who actually scrolled it all the way back to the very beginning and yes to the first posts of circa 2010/2011 #you can guess why I felt strongly about it since you are just creating an issue that never was and also making a false impression #of how sparsely populated soviet sh is while all this time it was just a secondary but also straight up unused tag #the same thing having two tags with totally different content bc of tag fragmentation is quite annoying #but it is now the modern age and idk if you can even go that deep into any tag anymore with how the search function doesn't work #and who could be wrong. russian sh Is soviet. nrh Is new. and nrh will never change and mix with the russian sh search forever.#plus what is the issue. russian sh gets one post a week and nrh gets one every half a year. the annoyance exists to me only.#do we assemble a council and grant both shows new unique tags and resolve the mistakes of our ancestors #while erasing 10+ years of history behind their current tags in the process thus basically wiping the fandom clean #or do we just live with it while occasionally shrugging at how this all happened #I thought and fought to keep it the way it was because adding to a search that goes back to 2010 is what it's all about o7 #but nowadays truly. everyone else is technically right. what's the point

good god.

do you ever see a photo of your favorite band after not seeing them for a while and feel that a.) they not only got old despite actually not being that old; and b.) …they’ve kind of become the villain after having lived long enough at this point.

#yes i am talking about soundgarden #i had to double take on kim #ben looks like death has rolled him over #matt actually looks too thin now (as much as i hate to say that)#and i hate to say it too bc i just think of the rumors about their reuniting for $$$$ back in 2011-2012 #this is starting to feel like the very thing they were against this whole time #deny it all you want guys—it was one thing with alice in chains bc they’re technically jerry’s band #but soundgarden was chris and kim: chris isn’t here and imo kim has unprocessed trauma from it #they all do #look at the sheer number of people who are still like ‘i can’t listen to him’ even 7.5 years later #you guys don’t need to perform; you need help #speaking as someone who heard that in droves 10 years ago when i literally was #text

this might have to be a two part post. but years ago now, like god.... probably almost 10 years ago, on here, I went on about how my old high school school issued diary from catholic school had the cringiest "how to study" comics in it.... which, in hindsight, were actually helpful.... if only I was bothered as a teenager to really read them and take them in. and not rip them out of the back of my diary by year 10 all bc "i DON'T need to learn how to study or set goals or plan my time!!!!! fuck OFF!!!"

here's the cringe comics. then there's two really helpful "how to use this diary" and "how to take notes" pages that i'll have to upload on another post, bc I ran out of picture space on this this post lol.

#life #about me #shut up ilona #this is actually from my sister's year 11 diary in 2009 before she dropped out #i think ive thrown out all of my diaries from years 7 to 9 that had these comics in them #like im sure my year 10 one from 2011 had them but i ripped them out to be all edgy and annoying lmao #but then again it's the 'homework rap' makes it cringey for me lmao
