Nostalgic Clutter Moodboard

Memory Lane-ing brought me back to Bailey's acting debut. Well I've been thinking and things are clicking.... Might be time for a present day Songbird's semi autobiographical story to be told through music and film.

Yesterday, my 12 year old laptop died.

This machine was an XPS laptop. It was in perfect working order up until the motherboard decided to die. I've swapped keyboards, screens, batteries, and a track pad on this thing, all with the help of YouTube. I actually wanted to get this machine repaired until I learned it would be about 3 grand for a repair that might work. There would be no guarantee and it would be hard finding someone willing to work on a computer that old.

I'm paying someone for data recovery because he can do it better and quicker. When that's done and I have the hard drive, I'm going to donate my old XPS. It can still be repaired if you have the right part and enough time. People do. I'm donating it to a program that takes old computers like these, fixes them, and gives them to low income students. This computer will probably last another 5 years (or more). Parts for it are easily purchased on Amazon.

My new computer is coming today. It's the same build, just slightly newer. It will last me another 12 years I hope. I will repair it as needed. Parts are easily available on Amazon. It will do everything I need it to and, when it's time, I'll swap it all over to a new computer from that same series.

Being able to repair my own machines has made me an XPS user for life. It allows me to save money and cut down on e-waste. So many people are stunned that my old computer was 12 (the one I had before this was 15 before it failed). We are so used to a society with disposable technology that it's genuinely shocking to people when someone says they fixed their own laptop.

But why should people try? So many laptops are made so you can't just unscrew and pop the back off. So many computers are made to fail after two, three, or four years. So many computers are made to force you to buy a new one for whatever capitalist bullshit reason.

I'll gladly pay extra for right to repair and a solid build with easily available replacement parts. That's what's important to me.

sorry but if you actually think Cancel Culture ™ is a thing then you're kinda a dumb fuck. Cancel culture isn't real, holding people accountable for their actions is a thing, but this whole narrative around Canceling that's evolved over the past few years isn't real. It's never been an actual thing. Its just a fear mongering tactic to further vilify the groups who were being harmed in the first place and victimize the person who did something wrong.

Your fav being called out for playing an antisemitic video game that directly gives profits to a hugely influential TERF, who's said openly she sees getting profits / royalty cheques from her franchise as endorsements for her bigotry, is not "cancel culture". It's called the consequences for your actions.

You have every right to do and play whatever the fuck you want, but that goes both ways. If you go out of your way to build up and financially support these people who're openly advocating to take away trans people's rights, then you get to deal with people not trusting you because of it. You get to deal with trans and Jewish folks not feeling safe around you, not wanting to be around you or not wanting to talk to you. Because you have shown that you care more about nostalgia and temporary personal emotional gratification over the wellbeing and safety of those communities in the real world.

People have explained why supporting HL is wrong, people have explained why it's harmful, people have explained in detail the issues with this situation. You. Just. Don't. Care. You don't listen, or read, because in the end, you can't be bothered enough to put in the effort of having 1 moment of critical thinking.

It's not that folks don't have arguments or evidence, it's that it clearly does not matter to you. It's that the value of an antisemitic game full of one horrific thing after another is worth more to you than the real, living breathing people who are going to be, and have been, affected by this.

You come across as a bad person. Not because some person on Twitter determined you must be, but because your actions speak far louder. And they're screaming red flags.

I'm not going to argue with you over your own bad decisions and life choices. You've made your bed and are mad that people are telling you to lie in it.

wait, but wouldn't eri's... erico's lack of elemental powers give him away?

Not quite! Eri/Erico might not be able to move the earth, but you know what he can do? Wield the Scythe of Quakes and imitate the Earth Punch! The Earth Punch in particular is literally just Erico shapeshifting the physiological effects (glow and heat) without getting any extra strength, so it's still something of a wonder that they're never found out. It's tiring, though, so Erico can't keep the earth punch up as long as Cole could—but initially this was attributed to his exposure to the oni smoke, and then later the ninja had bigger fish to fry.

Most of MotM is less Erico figuring out he's not Cole and more him having to accept that truth—they'd kind of started to figure it out beforehand, but it wasn't until they were deep underground with no real elemental power to show for it (just whatever shapeshifting tricks he could come up with) that Erico had to finally, truly ask himself who he was and what was going on.

Oh, and as a fullblooded oni, Eri does have access to powers of destruction, even if he's not quite a master of it like Garmadon or Omega are. But surely, that won't come into play at all, right? (it will >:]])

i feel like i've lived a thousand lives since the start of the season.

Happy non-art Monday!🎉 As you may know already, life's thrown some curveballs lately, with health issues sidelining my focus meds, so I'm taking it one day at a time, diving into Stardew Valley with my sis for a breather! 🪴🐤 My husband surprised me with LEGO for his bday (classic mix-up! 😂) Rediscovering our 'briquette' (little brick in French) passion together has been a blast! 💥 He's deep into LOTR, so Rivendell was a must.🧝🏼🧙🏼‍♂️ Me? Iron Man, Fast & Furious, and Ancient Egypt! ⚡️🏎️🌴 Giza Pyramid was a recent project, built with love at my parents' place. Each set is a memory treasure trove, stirring up stories close to my heart. 🌟💖 Dreaming of a LEGO Parthenon full set someday!🏦🇬🇷 What's your current hobby obsession?

Hi, hello! I'd like to ask, do you have any predictions for future LMK episodes that didn't come true, or were off course?

Actually yes!

I'm still fond of this idea even if it turned out to be wrong—but before the s4 special aired I was pretty confident that while MK went into the scroll to find Monkey King (and I totally called Macaque going in there with him), he would see something related to his creation/past and that was gonna be the thing to shake his relationship with Wukong.

But honestly, it makes more sense that a SWK and MK conflict would be saved for s5. I think I had just assumed that they were going to answer the question of "what is MK?" in the s4 special, when they definitely didn't do that at all lol.

So now I think we might just get this sort of thing later! The special made it clear that SWK V Macaque ("What happened between you two, for realizies?"), along with MK's identity are gonna be some of the plot points looming over MK's arc next season.

I wish I had the patience to draw. I want nothing more than to contribute to the fandoms of my favorite shows like Star Blazers and Classicaloid with art in that medium, but I never had the patience to complete the drawings I wanted to make.

But since I’m not able to do that I make cosplay instead. I can’t spend 30 minutes drawing, but I’ll easily spend 10 hours a day sewing. I can’t wait to make my cosplay of Derek and my dad’s Captain Avatar cosplay, I’ve been planning how to make them for probably two years now.

I guess I’m just glad that even though I can’t contribute with drawings and stuff, I did find a form of art that make me more passionate about the things that I love.
