my first own phone was this bad boy:

the Samsung c3050. great stim toy, I had two batteries for it so I could always carry an extra fully charged one with me, T9 typing was great and I could do it blind. 9/10 would recommend.

my first "smartphone" was this one (I think):

I got it used right when messaging through WhatsApp became a thing. the touch sensibility was awful and the keyboard was tiny. but you could put music on it! amazing, 8/10.

but my favourite was definitely this one:

the HTC ChaCha (yes, that was the name). it was like a blackberry but for teens. the keyboard was great to use, the display was tiny, it had a dedicated Facebook button with the sole purpose of opening the Facebook app. it was slightly bent for "ergonomics". I loved this phone and felt so fucking cool, sadly it broke after only about a year :( 11/10, would buy a phone like this anytime again!

even though we haven't heard about vive in a while, i'd argue it might've recouped sales HTC lost when they exited the mobile market.

yeah, i'm going there. remember when they made phones?

i'm lucky my obsession with remembering everything peaked from late 2013 - early 2016, bc the phone i had during that time hasn't been able to turn on for years and i'm still in denial about it

[f-a-b-l-e]

Yesterday I found out that two of my housemates and I had the exact same model of phone growing up. Nothing important but I just wanted to say it. What a coincidence, right?

There's this guy on my block who restructured his whole life around his gen 1 HTC Vive - somehow got his hands on that vaporware immersive scent attachment and dropped $10k on one of those static treadmill deals, the works. He's forged phony press documents to get his hands on that new assassin's creed game, made sure that they sent him the collector's edition just for the haptic feedback suit. just piecemeal assembling the worlds most advanced VR goonrig, dropped of his pets and houseplants for me to take care of for a week so he could focus on edging himself. Didn't want to know about that but shit, he gave me a couple hundred bucks for my trouble so I'm gonna withhold judgement. Anyways he leaves, the power on the block flickers for a second and he's knocking on my door ten minutes later freshly showered and wearing normal clothes. Picked up all his shit from my apartment and tipped me another $50. Word around the neighborhood is that he sealed himself into his goon cocoon and booted up a Blade and Sorcery instance with like 240 something gigs of sex-mods; the overstimulation sent a pulse through his brain and kick-started his prefrontal cortex. Sounds like a load of horseshit to me, all I know is he took down all his blackout curtains and got a job. Saw him wheeling all his equipment to the curb on trash day. I think he plays golf now

WARMTH “and so, you drifted into sleep, finding solace in the warmth of his presence.” daryl dixon x fem!reader

tags: hurt to comfort, ass ending (i tried 💔), swearing, reader is on her period, short

a/n: first daryl fic woop woop!! everyone say thank you gracie cs she requested yet another good fic idea 😵‍💫 so it was supposed to be a fluff but it ended up being a htc.. oopsies.. but hope ygs enjoy!!

there were many perks that came from being a female. but periods? not one of them. you don’t know why your younger self was so eager to get it. to put it simply, periods sucked. they made you feel awful. 

before the apocalypse it was already pretty hard for you. but now, it was incomparable. after all, it’s not like you had shit just laying around to help you. 

so, whatever you thought was “rough” back then, it was way rougher now. when it was your time of month. you would get cranky, a stark contrast to your usual bubbly demeanor. on top of that, you also had to deal with the fatigue and endless mood swings. 

the worst thing though, was the cramps. the constant waves of sharp pain pushed you to your limit. 

they were also the reason you were currently perched on your bed, back leaning against the headboard, with your knees held up to your chest. 

honestly, it had been a decent day until now. you did some stuff to help out, and caught up with your friends. you were able to partially take your mind off of the discomfort you were feeling. 

but of course, the stupid cramps ruined it all. you had to excuse yourself before hastily making your way back to your room. you practically collapsed onto your bed the second you walked in. 

and that’s how you found yourself in this situation. if anyone walked by your room, they would assume you were dying. or atleast, that’s what your countless groans made it sound like. 

to your luck, you suddenly felt the urge to cry. “suck it up.” you told yourself, knowing that this was another dumb mood swing which was a normal occurrence during your period. but, you lost the battle between your emotions and you. 

with the pain coming from your cramps, and the sudden sadness you felt, you couldn’t stop yourself. tears welled up in your eyes and cascaded down, mimicking a waterfall.

only a few moments later, you jumped slightly when you heard a loud knock at your bedroom door. the person didn’t even wait for your response before barging in. that sort of thing would’ve annoyed you if it was any other person, but it was daryl. 

you felt slightly embarrassed that he was seeing you in this state, but he was your boyfriend. he’s seen you at your worst. he quickly walked over to to your bed, his footsteps echoing. 

“what’s up with ya? heard ya weren’t feeling too good.” he said, sitting down on your bed. he placed the back of his hand onto your forehead, checking to see if you were sick. after noticing you didn’t have a fever, he wiped his thumb under your eyes to wipe away the hot tears.

“no fever. why do ya look like yer bout’ to hurl?” he asked. the vision he put in your head didn’t make you feel any better. daryl didn’t know that much about periods, but you couldn’t blame him. 

you opened your mouth to reply, but instead you let out another groan. he looked at you with concern in his eyes. “what do ya need? what’s wrong?” he grunted out. 

all you needed was something that would relieve these fucking cramps. you needed a heating pad, but of course, you didn’t have one. so, you did the only thing that could help you in that moment. 

you gently pulled your boyfriend’s head down to rest on your lap. you sighed in small relief. the feeling of his warmth coming into contact with your body felt nice. 

meanwhile, daryl on the other hand was full of confusion. “the hell ya doin’?” he asked. “shut up, just give me a minute.” you mumbled, closing your eyes.

he wanted to protest, but he held himself back. he knew this was helping you, and thats all he really cared about. “get to sleep angel.” he quietly muttered.

and so, you drifted into sleep, finding solace in the warmth of his presence.

remember when all the cool kids rooted and rom'd "to get rid of bloatware", which actually meant "to not have to pay verizon to use my phone as a stupid fucking mobile tether because my internet in rural virginia is dogshit"

Man. I don’t know how I used Sense’d ICS (top set) for so long. 

De-sensed Jellybean is just so clean (bottom set). Thanks to the amazing dudes who work on AOSP, and for the rom I’m currently running, the dudes who work on AOKP.
