#Growing Up in the 90s

It’s been two weeks today since my father passed away so I made a playlist of all the fun tunes he used to have going in the background during our car rides. A lot of these songs I know by heart and they definitely have grown on me spite some of them not being quite my taste. I feel a lot of nostalgia going back through these tracks, I’m sure I’ll add more as time goes on since I’m positive this isn’t all of them.
Enjoy the throw back hits, some are definitely classic tunes but some are a little bit off the beating path. It was nice to crank this while I was off on bereavement leave.
Cheers!

"Hey, what's your sign?"
"Dragon." "What? No, what's your sign?"
Initiating ABC PANIC mode.
I learned about the Western zodiac signs in middle school, until then I didn't really know about them. The first time I was asked my zodiac sign I instinctively answered with the Chinese Zodiac, because Chinese people often ask "What year are you?". Except I was in school when this person asked, and I immediately went into panic mode because I gave a cultural answer rather than the accepted western American answer.
Long story short, word got out I said I was dragon, which I am, but the rumor went around as if I was a furry for like 2 weeks with people growling and roaring at me.
But you know no one aint gonna blink if you say you are a goat-fish chimera or a crab.

Being Boring: A Glimpse into the 1990s
When you’re young you find inspirationIn anyone who’s ever goneAnd opened up a closing doorShe said: “We were never feeling bored“ The Pet Shop Boys released “Being Boring” in November 1990. It was the second single from their album Behaviour. The song nostalgically reflects on youth, friendship, and the passing of time while Neil Tennant sings lyrically about teenage parties and losing a dear…

The Enchanted Horse (1992) written by Magdalen Nabb, illustrated by Julek Heller
For @horsefigureoftheday
#this book was so fucking creepy#i think forth grade me would have eaten that shit up#i skimmed the story while looking for the illustrations#and yes i understand its a metaphor for growing up#and it has “values” and “empathy” and such#but the blind man who runs the junk shop has deff killed someone#i say this with love and affection#i do love an impromptu book selection on my part#real tunnel vision after finding it on the#internet archive#and cleaning it up with#photopea#anyways#the enchanted horse#magdalen nabb#Julek Heller#1992#horses#horse art#horse#equids#illustration#1990s#nineties#90s#juvenile fiction#christmas#rural gothic#rural america#rural decay

I have two questions for you, really. Just as proof of the point. But first:
#as an ill person who uses all my time off on medical care#my last vacation was a long weekend in 2018. it is now 2024.#growing up my fam went on 1-2 vacations total in the course of our lives - once to the beach for two days and once to the mountains - 1week#literally the way ppl talk about vacation frequency at my workplace completely baffles me#but literally my default is almost WHAT IS VACATION EVEN I WOULDN'T REALLY KNOW#i didn't get on a plane for the first time till i was 31#hardly anyone in my community now has been on a plane#80% of the world's population has never flown#90% don't fly each year - come on coworkers it's not that weird

Time travel is a reality! However, it's still in the early stages, and you can only go as far back as seventy-something years.
Feel free to explain your reasons in the tags :P
#rhys-ravenfeather signing on#time travel#polls#for me personally? i'd pick the 1980s#even though i'm a 90s kid growing up i listened to a lot of 80s music and watched a lot of 80s movies#not to mention one of my favorite shows now is set in the 80s alsdjfasldfjasdlfj#i've always kind of been a little curious about the culture and landscape of the decade that came out before the one i was born in

as someone who figured out i was queer only because i fell in love with my best friend without realising it i'm gonna need some of you to get off your weird high horse that has somehow decided that someone discovering their sexuality via their love for someone else is not valid or good representation or whatever the fuck some of you are banging on about like yeah i am not queer because of that person but they did in fact play a very significant part in my journey of self-discovery and that's actually okay you fucking weirdos it's not even uncommon and yes this is about eddie diaz like "eddie's sexuality shouldn't be about buck" well actually it can be like he's absolutely allowed that journey sometimes you fall in love with your best friend and have to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about yourself because of those feelings for that person some people are only able to begin to comprehend their sexuality through their relationship with someone else and considering eddie's background that actually makes the most sense so like i get where you're coming from but also no <3
#911 abc#but also just like in general#some of you definitely did not grow up catholic in the 90s and 00s and it shows#buddie#i guess#to delete probably#just wanted to get this out#911

Man I honestly kinda miss the cage lockers we used to have in elementary school
this kinda stuff
yes they looked scary (especially ours which were dark blue-green and in a shaded hallway with small windows) but that was part of the charm. it felt badass. especially when we'd try to climb on them when the teachers weren't around
#I'll never forget one time one of my classmates tried to climb all the way to the top#which was connected to this kind of cardboard ceiling tile covering all the pipes and electric wires#hanging from the real ceiling (only on the hallway side) and when he climbed to the top#he found someone's report book from the 90s#I think something was lost when they started doing electronic report books too#important part of growing up was figuring out ways to hide them from your parents when you got a bad grade or a note for misbehaving lol

Talia even being called an assassin gives me the ick because when she was first introduced she hated killing, felt immense guilt the few times she had to, and most of the time if it looked like she killed someone it turned out to be anaesthesia or a tranquilizer or something. Like she was literally studying to be a doctor when her and Bruce met and she was based off of the stereotypical Bond Girl because it was the 70's. Like I know it's basically her entire character now that she's an "assassin mom" or whatever but that was not who she was intended to be and I hate how it's done most of the time because it's ALWAYS a way to point and say "look at the evil brown woman! She's a cold blooded killer who forced/passively allowed her son to kill as well! It's a good thing that the feral brown boy is now with his good white family so he can learn the value of life and art and how to exist in civil society!" And it's actually really pissing me off. You guys don't even read a characters introduction comic before you start writing the same regurgitated nonsense steeped in racism and misogyny. Damian's whole character as it stands is basically character assassination for Talia and in order for me to be able to engage with him he'd have to be entirely rewritten.
#I actually don't care how attached you are to Damian's character I can guarantee that any trait you like can still apply if he grows up#away from the league when Talia put him up for adoption like she intended#unless you like that he has mommy issues of tge abusive psychotic mom variety#then you should kill yourself or find a new character cause that ain't Doctor Talia Al Ghul#I know I've been a big hater the last few days but it really is becoming terminal like it's SO pervasive#it's amazing how loudly wrong you guys are#like no one stopped to think about why a vunch of old white men drastically changed her entire character after 9/11#not one of you#none of you thought to check your sources before you started writing bullshit#use your brain#the thing in your head that's supposed to form thoughts#it's actually there for a reason!#dc#talia al gul#Damian Wayne#anyway go read 70's-90's Talia comics or keep her name out of your mouth

Homelander x fem!reader
Reader making a mix tape for Homelander and explaining the symbolism of making a mix tape
"You-" Homelander's voice cracks as he holds the cassette up for inspection. "You made this for me?" "Yeah, I just thought you might like some of these songs and I know the cabin has an old cassette player, so I just thought..." You trail off, cheeks turning brighter the longer you stand there. Homelander is staring at the tape, held between forefinger and thumb. He's blinking rapidly. "You don't have to listen to it, or whatever-" You start again, nerves putting a small quaver in your voice. It's stupid, is left unsaid but you think it all the same. Previous partners have said as much. "No, no. This is a cassette tape. You even decorated it." He flips the cassette over, taking in the designs across the label and the extra stickers. Lots of stars and stripes. Campey and cute. "You took the time to use this old tech for me?" Finally, Homelander's eyes settle on your face. "Ah, yeah. I just wanted to make you something. It- It wasn't so hard. There's software that makes mixing tracks easy and transferring it to a cassette only takes the proper wiring," You go on in a rush, eager to explain that tidbit from your hobby now that Homelander is watching you with a bit of wonder. He doesn't say thank you aloud. That's not his way. Instead, Homelander tugs you close to nuzzle his nose against your own before kissing you.
#Homelander#homelander x reader#I can see Homelander using cassette tapes#I feel like he'd be into any 90s tech#as that's what he would have had growing up#now everyone is obliged to give me links to theur Homelander mix tapes#I KNOW YOU FUCKING HAVE THEM#cause I have a Homelander playlist too#fluff#drabble#anon ask#ask#homelander writing#x reader
