my god I had forgotten (not really) how much I love this man. and also all the women.

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

ARIIIII HI HELLO HEY !!! i got a bit busy (i hate assessments) but I'm back and I will soon read all the things I added to my tbr that you posted !! soooo excited hehe :3 I wanted to ask how you guys are playing phanpara.... i also want to see all the fun stuff and play.. ☹☹ manifesting the banners for you so you get them easily <333 - ❄ anon

❄️ ANON MY LOVE !! welcome back!!!! :3 i hope your assessments went well…. i’m proud of you for working hard 🫂🫂🫂 AND PLS don’t feel any pressure w the tbr, my fics will always be here when you have the time !!! <3333

BUT YES . phanpara ….. i’m not gonna lie to you anon getting it downloaded on ios was a whole trial of will but 😭😭 it’s actually. fairly simple. it’s easier on android (you just need to download a bunch of apps to emulate it!!) but on ios you need to manually change your appstore region to japan. and then download a vpn app. the biggest downside w ios is that there aren’t really any good translator apps!! :(( on android you can get bubble translate which lets you translate on screen text really easily…. but you won’t get anything like that on ios. so you won’t understand what the characters are saying (unless you take screenshots and throw them into an image translator)….

buuut if you’re still fine with that!! (assuming you have ios and not android)…. then i’ll leave the instructions down below :33 i’ll try to make them as clear as possible but just ask if you have any more questions!! i’d love to help!!! phanpara is sm fun…

ok so . here are all the steps !!

1) make a new appstore account!!

this step is easy :3 … i don’t. remember how i did it tho. pretty sure you just go to the appstore browser page?? or something.., and then you obv just need to add a name and a functional email address!

when you’ve made a new account, make sure that your ios is logged into it . just go to settings -> click your profile -> click on the appstore icon -> log out from your usual account and log in on the new one!! then you just need to press ”show account” to go to the next step.

2) change your region to japan!!

this is the complicated step. it’s not really that complicated though it just took me a while to figure it out 😭😭 you can use this site for reference if my descriptions confuse you lol

when you try to change your region to japan, you’ll be forced to add your name and your address. you can use your normal name (assuming it’s made up of english letters), but you’ll need to generate a jp address!! it’s actually kinda easy. this is the website i used!! it lists all the information you need in the correct order, so just . copy and paste into the settings . (i believe you’ll need to choose the prefecture manually, so just look at the prefecture name on the website and match it with the options ios gives you!!) street name, prefecture, city, zip code, phone number… etcetc. this may or may not be an illegal process but if you’re a gacha enjoyer i’m assuming you like living life on the edge.

you’ll also get the option to add a payment method, but you should be able to skip it by choosing the option at the bottom. this is important because otherwise it won’t let you change your region (unless you happen to have a japanese credit card hanging around)….

when you’ve entered all the necessary information, click the blue text in the top right corner to move on!! if you’ve done everything correctly you should be taken to the jp appstore :3

3) download phanpara + ovpnspider!!

now you’re almost done!!! downloading phanpara should be easy, just search for it in the appstore and. well. download it. when i did this i had to click through some ios popup page..??? but just . click your way through it. trial and error. until it lets you download the app <33

while phanpara is loading, download ovpnspider!! this one is super easy and doesn’t take up much space at all. when it’s finished downloading, just go into the app, go to the ”jp” folder and connect to one of the vpns!! the status has to be ”alive”, but any of them should work :3

4) play phanpara !!

now you should be good to go <33 the only issue is that the vpn can be a little difficult sometimes. phanpara might take a bit to load, and throw you out if the vpn disconnects, but as long as you just exit the app and change the vpn there shouldn’t be any issues. could be a little bothersome sometimes but you get used to it quickly!! just make sure that you’re connected to a vpn, enter phanpara, and play :33 for me it takes up roughly 5gbs of space, so make sure your phone can handle it!!

aaaaand that’s it <333 i’m sorry if this is just. gibberish 😭😭 or if i’m making it sound more complicated than it is …. and pls let me know if it works for you!!! i’d love to be friends in game if you make an account :33 then you’ll be able to use my gojo in battle … hehehe ……..

[fushitoru]

AASHIIIII!! i hope you're doing well!! i'm finally back from my trip (which was great, got to spend some time with my bff and see one of my fave bands and then we ran into them after the show) and i absolutely binged your bridgerton au while i was on the plane so now i'm here to gush

i've never seen bridgerton so i don't really have much of a background to go off of but the setting and the environments and linguistics feel soooo authentic and i'm so deeply invested in the world you've created and all of the side characters like the tanaka family and how gojo is woven into the world

also the way you write gojo?? ugh i love him sm he's so deeply complex and frustrating but charming it's chef's kiss truly

i loooove love love the way reader is written as such a perfect depiction of what she's expected to be but she's also a rebel (very fitting for anyone related to sukuna) and smart and independent like how she's always challenging gojo and his expectations of her while simultaneously being very genuinely sweet and caring

i'm also so unbelievably invested in the way you've written gojo's thoughts out, like the way he's not quite sure what he wants and clearly conflicted in his opinion on reader and their relationship, it's so interesting getting to see his perspective as well and understand both the tender moments (when he saves her and then gets her a pastry <33 so cute) and also when they're on horseback and both frustrated with one another, i love the dynamic of their relationship

also their conversation about sex asjklhfd that was so funny poor reader not understanding and poor gojo not sure how to explain it was so fun

ANYWAY sorry for yapping i hope you're doing well and having a great day <33

-- @starmapz

HI TRISH!!! AHH im so glad that sounds SO FUN.

im so glad you think it's authentic, sometimes i think it's really corny LOL. i did try to make it general so people who haven't watched bridgerton can still read this so im really happy you liked it!!!

and yesss!! that is exactly how i wanted reader to seem. i struggle with her characterization a lot. i fear i kinda gave her eldest daughter vibes (responsible yet still advocating for change/being a rebel) despite not being one but oh well!

i think i like my gojo's in fanfiction a little complicated and a little toxic. like he doesn't know what he wants and always struggles with his status/elevation in society despite having a really assured outward persona. like ughhhh yes my troubled hero, forever doomed to be the strongest and have a lot of responsiblity *drops panties*

and not the sex convo ahhkewfwkjn. pls reader is all book smarts her mother has NOT told her about sex LOL

OMG ILY trish for this <333 gen made my day. im glad you had a safe journy to and back :33

[honey-crypt]

yapping about farmer benny to cure my sadness so here’s some benny facts for y’all <333

★ expanding the sdv version of earth with this one but benny’s dad immigrated from the solennia kingdom and married benny’s mom (whose dad is the grandpa that gifts the farm in sdv) in the ferngill republic, which makes benny solennian-ferngillian

★ so benny has dual citizenship but he doesn’t really talk about being half solennian because the solennia kingdom is allied with the gotoro empire, who the ferngill republic is at war with

★ so shit goes south real fast when sam and them are in their lil lovey dovey himbo-ery and kent comes home from the war and immediately clocks benny as having solennian ancestry… ANYWHO, MOVING ON

★ their farm’s name is honeycomb farm and it specializes in honey and mead

★ benny has a condition called bertolotti’s syndrome (which is an irl thing that i, bee, have) and gets flare ups in his lower back and legs that can interfere with their farmwork (and life in general) sometimes

★ they use a collapsible cane to walk long distances or if they’re flaring up, the cane is covered in stickers and colorful duck tape; he let jas and vincent add some stickers on it

★ SUPER ACCIDENT PRONE TO THE POINT OF INJURING OTHERS BY MISTAKE, such as accidentally tripped morris and decking pierre in the face

★ loves combat and is always in the mines, much to doctor harvey’s horror because “BENNY YOU’RE GONNA HAVE A SPASM I SWEAR TO YOBA”

★ fighting monsters is basically benny’s version of physical therapy, they always make sure they go in the mines with the right supportive gear like their back brace and orthotics

★ pretty chill with the wizard, visits the tower at least once a week to either say hi, use the changing statue (he uses it to help their dysphoria), or learn about magic

★ will drink anything you hand him, such as the time the wizard handed him a potion to hold for a moment and they just… drank it…. it was a potion of teleportation and he accidentally teleported into sam’s bedroom, it was very awkward but funny

Hiatus:

Ya know... I kept hoping that things would ease up, but more stuff just keeps piling on. I think it's time that I officially switch my status to a legit "hiatus".

I'm at a point where I don't want to be online really, just because I don't want to bring everyone down. I have too much anxiety, depression, and stress with mental, physical, and financial things that it's making me need to stay active. It's the only way that I feel better about what's happening in my life. At least, cleaning, cooking, caring for the animals and assisting my kin can give me a sense of accomplishment and purpose. It's not much, but it takes a lot out of me to simply do mundane tasks when my seizures are draining my energy, concentration, focus, and ability to function. I'm truly tired in ways I can't explain.

I don't know if this is permanent or if I'll come back to Tumblr later. I don't know how much more health issues are coming, but the doctors are running more tests. There's concerns in other areas, besides my epilepsy, that's been really affecting my health. Stuff I don't feel like getting into, but I'm trying to keep my hopes up.

Most of you have my Discord and can reach out to me if you feel like keeping in touch. If things get better, I might rekindle this profile, but... I simply don't know right now.

Please know that I love and care about each and everyone of you and this isn't something that I ever thought I'd actually have to do. If time changes things and I'm able to come back, I hope most of you will still be here. If not, I'll understand.

Thank you for everything and for staying my dear, sweet friends all this time, whether it's been from here, on Discord, or just in general.

I love and miss all y'all, but like I said, most of you know my Discord account. I'm not completely gone. Just can't be here. If you don't have it and would like to stay in touch, you can add me up at UntamedSouthernCharm.

Take care and stay safe, my budlits. Much love, always always. <333

Love The Winged Servant series!

but I suck at timelines, could you put one all in one place? (I am also very tired rn, but I'm sure that's unrelated to my timeline abilities)

Thanks! <3

okay this is gonna be really long lmfao. So The Winged Servant is technically set in the future. You just don’t hear a lot about it because the tech isn’t super advanced (for other reasons we won’t get into) and because I don’t talk about years very much. They kinda restarted the year counting at zero. So the current year in the story is 359 CR, and it’s a vague amount of years in the future.

anyway here’s the actual timeline!

January 1, 00 CR (Celestial Restoration): Aadi Rao has dedicated his life to reversing the effects of pollution. He is 47 when, on New Year’s Eve, the first star in decades is visible to the naked human eye.

~August 00: Aadi Rao has amassed a following and creates Sathenn. He declares himself king and his daughter heir.

Years 28-31: some wild political stuff happens but the important part is that for a few years, the Raos were not technically the reigning family

Year 56: Angels can tell that some change is coming and that it’s not good. All the ones with the means to do it leave, and they create their own country (Arien) without telling people the location of this other country. The leftover angels are ones without means, which creates a large wealth divide in humans and angels and makes it a lot easier for humans to make things worse for angels in the coming years.

April 24, 326: Onyx is born!!

December 12, 331: Lucia, 18 at the time, is crowned Sathenn’s queen.

February 14, 332: Lucia (still 18) marries a prince from another country (Kehakai). He is crowned king.

January 10-11, 333: Lucia has her baby boys and they are a totally normal happy family and nothing bad ever happens :)

February 14, 337: The king of Sathenn is assassinated.

April 2, 354: Lucia passes a heavily criticized law involving angel children and their rights to fly at playgrounds.

April 4, 354: A peaceful protest of the law turns into a violent riot. A seventeen year old angel, Ethan, was at the forefront and arrested. Onyx, also seventeen, was not directly involved with the riot but was a bystander. He begs to be taken in Ethan’s place. Officially, Onyx is listed as a casualty of the riot. Unofficially, he stays in the castle dungeon on “voluntary” status.

April 6, 354: The angels living in Sathenn (there’s about 50k) make a large effort to leave to Arien. They are much more helpful with each other this time—almost everyone goes. Only nine angels remain in Sathenn (not counting Onyx). Of those nine, eight are killed in the next two days as the result of violent hate crimes.

April 9, 354: The ninth angel is arrested for vengeance murder. They are arrested alongside the woman whose basement they lived in.

April 11, 354: The ninth angel is killed for their crimes. The woman is also killed for aiding and abetting them.

April 12, 354: The woman has a son, Kieran, who is 35. He attempts to avenge her. It does not go well. He is imprisoned for attempted assassination.

April 20, 354: Kieran is broken out of jail by his brother.

April 22, 354: Onyx “voluntarily” (and secretly) becomes the first test subject for an experiment that involves memory erasure.

April 22, 354: The Rao family is overthrown by Kieran, his brother, and a lot of other helpers. Kieran declares himself acting king until he can sort out an election.

May 1, 354: Kieran is officially elected king.

October 21, 359: The Rao family and some loyalists. attempt to overthrow Kieran. Chapter one starts at 5:30 AM this day!

[ctrldoll]

List your husbandos/waifus 🫵

Yayyyy! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) I'll list my main ones!

KENTO NANAMI! (Jujutsu Kaisen!) - The suit! The shirt and tie! <333 He's so husband material! Oh My Days, I love him! The amount of support he seems to offer despite his strict form is so comforting! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

GETO SUGURU! (Jujutsu Kaisen!) - He's so cute! I also feel sorry for him and admire him as a well-written character! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) He's a bit of a sweetheart and cares deeply which is so adorable!

GOJO SATORU! (Jujutsu Kaisen!) - He's so adorable! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) I love his bubbly personality! His interactions with his students and the moments he shares with individuals such as Megumi make me love him more! Aww, I love his character sm!

HIGURUMA HIROSHI! (Jujutsu Kaisen!) - Dark hair, a suit and somewhat exhausted personalities always get me because...aaahh, he’s so adorable! (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)

KÖNIG! (Call of Duty!) - The MAN that you are- (∩˃o˂∩)♡ ( ˊᵕˋ )♡.°⑅

He's tall as hell and tough with a probably sweet inside! When Tumblr first introduced me to COD through a Simon fic, I wasn't that attracted to Simon. He's alright, don't be sad, but not necessarily my type.

König, though, whooooo don't get me started! He is so adorable! I'd happily be his short wife! I have a thing for tall men! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰

JOHN PRICE! (Call of Duty!) - Maybe it's the moustache, maybe it's because he's high-key a DILF & maybe because he is so attractive...IT'S ALL OF THEM! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

LUCIFER! (Obey Me!) - I adored him the second I started playing the game! His strict personality got me in seconds! Plus, he's dark haired and looks stunning in a suit which helped a ton! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ)

DIAVOLO! (Obey Me!) - Look, the sweethearts get me a lot! I adore his sweet personality despite his status! (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠) I haven't gotten deep into Obey Me! (mostly because I have to repeat the game because I deleted it a while ago. I've reinstalled it and installed Nightbringer!) but I hope to.

JOHN DOE! (John Doe Game!) - John Doe's so adorable! I love my wholesome man so much! He's just so silly! ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

TODOROKI ENJI! (My Hero Academia!)- I’m not gonna try to defend this one. He's terrible and in a long process of changing his ways, but so hot. I can't be surprised I have a thing for him. Muscles get me, they get me too! ♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠ｖ⁠Ӧ⁠｡⁠)

SAKAMATA KUGO! [GANG ORCA!] (My Hero Academia!) - The suit and his frame got me so good! He's so dashing and so darling! (⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

(I'm not denying the Venom allegations.)

TAISHIRO TOYOMITSU! [Fat Gum!] (My Hero Academia!) - He’s just so cute! How can I not adore him?! (≧◡≦) ♡ The amount of sweetness that he is- I could get lost in it! I want to get lost in it! ♡(੭´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭

MIGUEL O’HARA! (Across the Spider-Verse!) - I love my complicated DILF so much! (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠）He is so adorable!

HOBIE BROWN! (Across the Spider-Verse!) - His energy is everything! (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠) I love how chill he is! It's so attractive!

HADES! (Record of Ragnarok!) - The throne scene got me! I just adore the way he exudes respect! Him cherishing his siblings is so sweet! ♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱

ARES! (Record of Ragnarok!) - He's dashing and just so silly, it's adorable! ≽^•⩊•^≼ ⋆˙⟡♡ I wish ROR took him more seriously because he'd be an amazing opponent! <3

CONNOR! [RK800!] (Detroit Become Human!) - He’s sweet and undeniably tough when he needs to be! He is so complex, I adore it! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

RALPH! [WR600!] (Detroit Become Human!) - I felt for him so much! (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠) He's a little lost but trying his best! He's so cute! (⁠´⁠∩⁠｡⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠｡⁠∩⁠`⁠)

This was fun! Thank you, Anon! <3

13 Books Tag Game

Tagged by @bubblegum-blackwood

1) The last book I read:

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros - I absolutely devoured this sequel, omg. Obviously it’s nothing fancy or anything like that but hey what’s wrong with a smutty YA? Not to mention DRAGONS

2) A book I recommend:

Perfume by Patrick Süskind - when I read it I had no idea it was a whole entire modern classic, I just picked it up at Oxfam for like 3 for £1 or something but, wow, I can 100% understand how it earned that status! If you like an eery not-too-long horror story with the most beautiful imagery describing some fucked up gothic storylines and a lot of social commentary, you’ll love this book!

3) A book that I couldn’t put down:

Ahhh ok, im gonna say In Memoriam by Alice Winn. The ending was… idk I wasn’t really a fan of the ending, I thought it kind of disengaged and took away from the struggles and severity of war and sexuality the rest of the book portrayed but until that point the rest of the story was everythingggg, there’s a sweet forbidden romance/coming of age/found family in the 1910’s propelling into a story of the horror of WW1 and losing everything you know. All I can really say is that I read it all in one go (more or less) and it had me laughing and sobbing throughout

4) A book I’ve read twice (or more):

I mean… there’s an obvious choice here - The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. HOWEVER I’m going to absolutely cheat and also say Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, the drama, the trauma, the vast majority of these characters are awful and I love it 🤌🤌

5) A book on my TBR:

So many… so so many… I’m gonna say House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski tho because it was expensive and it’s cool looking and I’ve actually been meaning to read that for a while but boy howdy it’s huge

6) A book I’ve put down:

The Tale Of The Body Thief by Anne Rice UGHH I’m trying so hard!! It’s so many words with so little going on, and I do enjoy it, I really do, it’s so goofy, but it’s so.. i mean verbose isn’t really quite the right word but you know what I mean. Sorry mutuals :( I just need a break to read something short and silly - which I’ve almost finished the little series I’m currently reading

7) A book on my wish list:

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch - it sounds absolutely soul crushing and miserable, I know this completely contradicts what I just said about being in the mood for a silly read but <333

8) A favorite book from childhood:

Omg 10000x the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy, guys you don’t understand, as much as I would love to talk about how my mum and I used to sit and read Anne Of Green Gables before bed or my Enid Blyton obsession when I was like 6, Skulduggery Pleasant was my absolute jam - I must’ve read that series (the original 9 + spin offs) a million times in primary school. I did keep up with phase 2 when that was coming out but I don’t know if I’ll bother with phase 3, I’m just too old now and phase 2 wasn’t all that imo - I think it’s sort of beating a dead horse at this point :( but the original 9 and Maleficent Seven/Armageddon Outta Here were my childhood and I definitely absorbed Valkyrie Cain into my identity as a child so that series probably shaped a big part of who I am and my hobbies as an adult

9) A book you would give to a friend:

Love On The Brain by Ali Hazelwood. Silly, nerdy, fun, a cute little Pride and Prejudice-esque enemies to lovers feat. women in STEM

10) A book of poetry or lyrics that you own:

Ok so anyone who’s seen my other poetry blog @apoemadaykeepsthehoesaway knows my obsession with The Complete Poems of Wilfred Owen (I have a lot of difference versions) AHHH by far my favourite poet - as you can imagine with such a young man, you can clearly see his changing mentalities, his growth as a person and a writer, his influences, and really gather a lot of context for what’s going on with him in general through his poems. And he grew up in all the same areas I grew up in and hung around as a kid/younger teen, which I think adds to my personal interest in him too. Idk ig we’re very close friends on a parasocial level lol.

And ofc there really aren’t that many poets around that give such visceral, truthful, and emotional insights to the First World War as Owen does (also a queer icon). He was my intro to war literature and I have tattoos relating to him, he and his work are just incredible to read about, would highly recommend having a look at Siegfried Sassoon’s war poems too; another very blunt poet who was a celebrity and war protestor at the time and happened to mentor Wilfred Owen, as well as being linked with other influential folks of the time such as Robbie Ross, Stephen Tennant, Rupert Brooke, and Ivor Novello. Ok Ill move on :,)

11) A nonfiction book you own:

Surprisingly I quite like nonfiction, mainly history and essays from philosophers and the like. Speaking of, Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good And Evil is a pretty solid one I own, I’ve never read anything where the author begins by calling himself and all his coworkers socially inept incels 🥹 but even though I don’t remember the specific reason I bought it (I was reading it to argue against some other philosophers in an essay in college and I really don’t remember who or what it was) I remember it being a really interesting read

Or yknow in a more traditional sense of non-fiction, I also have Notes On A Nervous Planet by Matt Haig. Really helped me get through some stuff, if you’re struggling with anxiety or feeling a bit down lately I’d very much recommend

12) What are you currently reading:

Omg ok, The Hitchhiker Trilogy by Douglas Adams, I’m currently on book 3 of 5 - Life, The Universe, And Everything. Really silly and nonsensical space bs but somehow also a bleakly satirical social commentary on the unseriousness of our ‘serious’ world. Really enjoyable, fairly political to some degree, really short (around or less than 200 pages a book), really fun. Martin Freeman truly was the perfect casting for Arthur Dent in the film of the first book. Full of that quintessentially British cynical humour and of course plenty of cups of tea

To give a little preview, the second book literally opens “The story so far: In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

13) What are you planning on reading next?

Books 4 and 5 of The Hitchhiker Trilogy, and then I suppose I had better carry on reading The Tale Of The Body Thief :D

Tagging whoever wants to have a go, it’s super fun, sorry if I went on a bit on some of these 😅

[septembersghost]

Saw this cover today & thought it would fit in that retro Elvis Barbie concert…lol… that kinda would be cool actually (twitter.)com/NHDNMedia/status/1624094372898779164 (movin925.)com/until-i-found-you-stephen-sanchez-explains-why-his-hit-feels-like-its-from-another-time/

"retro Elvis Barbie concert" is now a phrase that has been added to my bloglore repertoire, i'm obsessed i love it sm

the thrill i got opening this and it being a video of NIALL! it's so much fun when i haven't checked twitter yet and get the updates this way instead 😄 niall 100% needs to be on the retro EP concert performers list, and the thing is,most people would probably tag him to play a ballad (like this, which is very pretty!), but given how great niall is at absolute banger songs, he could do one of the rock and roll numbers so well. (or both. both is good). *puffs imaginary cigar* get me hollywood on line 2, get me producers at nbc, we need to make this show happen.

i've heard clips of this song, i want to say in a commercial?, but hadn't heard it by itself or anything about the artist, i can't believe he's only 19!

“Those African-American groups like The Platters and The Ink Spots...I mean, they gave so much soul and heart into their music…the way that they sang about love was just so incredible.”

“That was something that I always gravitated towards because it was such a deep understanding and such a passion behind their words,” Stephen says of those groups, both of whom are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He explains, “Whether they wrote the song or not, they made it seem like they were living these incredibly simple, yet somehow timeless and profound moments that we’ve all experienced universally or have yet to.”

In fact, Stephen says the music those groups recorded didn’t just impact his songwriting: It changed his entire personality.

“It’s made me a more emotional person; it’s made me a more romantic person,” he notes. “And I think that I would be less of that person without that music and less of a romantic songwriter without that music.”

And Stephen’s glad that despite its old-timey sound, his song is popular with people his own age.

“It’s really cool to see this generation, like, really connect to that song that feels like it’s from another time, he says, adding, “It’s really, really special.” 

everything about this is lovely. the part about it making him a more romantic writer! yessss. steep yourself in vintage romanticism <333

something that is interesting to me is that idea of everything old being new again - for teenagers right now, those "old timey," as he called them, songs and sonic influences are so removed from most of the music they're accustomed to that i can easily imagine the sound of that music captivating them, because it is different, and if you've never heard something, it's fresh to you, even if it's decades old. someone will always be experiencing that for the first time, and discovering it anew keeps it alive.

@bizarrocloudy did it and so I am compelled to do the same!

last song: Army of Ancients - Dr. Dog, I generally am in a mellow mood around the turn of the year. I just keep hearing it on loop. I am also listening a lot to The Rainbow connection - The Muppets, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot, and Hellfire - FEVER 333.

favourite colour: black or purple. Especially as a combo it looks good

Last book: The most recent book I have picked up is the Illiad translation done by Emily Wilson. The most recent books I have (mostly) finished would either be the colour of magic by Terry Pratchett or in an academic context it would be The Order of Living Things by Rupert Riedl (If you want to be confused by a lot of science philosophy and math that would be the perfect book)

last tv show: I just finished Arcane (and I am already in a rewatch), and I am currently watching Dandadan and Ranma 1/2

sweet/savory/spicy: Spicy!

relationship status: single

last search: I was searching a couple of mosquito species to aid in identification.

current obsession: Arcane, Dorohedoro, and Delicious in Dungeon would be my best guess. Maybe my PhD Thesis topic is my biggest obsession as I can't really shut up talking about fish jaws.

Looking forward to: the next science conference where I will meet some dear colleagues and friends and something more in the near future: the next dnd session with my friends :)

Favourite drink: When I am working I always drink black tea, and at a party I stick to either my beloved "siffplörre" Sternburger beer (the cheapest beer you can get where I live) or Whisky Highballs are also nice.

song playing on loop in your head 24/7: The Soundtrack to the Dorohedoro anime and The monster proms soundtracks. I love to put them on when I need to focus. I played them so often in the last weeks that they are seared into my brain.

current favourite character: Shin from Dorohedoro and Mithrun from Delicious Dungeon. I doubt that it will change in the future.

fun activity you'd like to get into: Probably socialising? I am pretty introverted and being at parties can be pretty draining for me. especially when trying to talk with someone when its very loud. I have a hard time to parse the voice of the other person. Also I dont really like approaching other people as I was already told that I dont have the most approachable demeaner when I am just minding my own business. That would be great if I could enjoy it more in general and in that way I could make more friends.

last video game: I am currently being held prisoner by balatro. please do not try to rescue me. You will only get caught in its web as well.

Last comic/graphic novel/manga: I just bought the reprint of the Trigun Maximum manga and read a couple of chapters of it. So far its good! But thats what I have expected since I like both anime adaptations.

for the selfship ask game! 👥, 💌, & ⏳ ^^

YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE :333

👥 ~ is there a character from their source who isn't/wasn't originally an f/o but that has lore connections to your s/i? in other words, a (potential) f/o for lore reasons?

gonna be honest, the only two characters i really associate with fable a lot are kaeya and benny, and they both have more of a familial connection to bun. i'm still mulling over how in gods name they meet furina, but again i don't think there'd be any other potential f/os there besides maybe navia. shes pretty i like her a lot..... tldr kaeya and benny r too familial for f/o status so it's just venti and rina for now.

💌 ~ any major changes in your selfship lore over time? if so, compare how it used to be with how it's now.

okay so fun fact. i did have an oc instead of a self insert for venti a while back. i won't get too much into his lore, mostly because i can't remember most of it lmao. so it wasn't actually a selfship to begin with!!! i never felt connected to icarus (original oc) throughout the time that i used him, and so eventually i swapped to a self insert instead :3

⏳ ~ do you have several timelines in your selfship? if so, describe them. alternatively, do you imagine your selfship in different stages of the relationship?

i imagine the different stages of venti and fable so much. they simmer in my head like a stew. i think initially, they have a more friendly relationship, because venti has Attachment Issues and fable can never tell the difference between platonic and romantic love + they got the Demisexual Tendencies (not wanting to leap into it too quickly cuz they dunno venti that well). theyre both awkward stupid blushy messes (maybe fable moreso than venti) and archons damn it someone make them kiss already jeez. again the furina side is still in the works and is more of just a general "imagining them kissing" thing rather than having actual lore rn lol.

here's my sign of life !! so you don't worry about me !! i'm considering changing my pen-name once again, but we'll get to that some point in the next few days.

anyway, how have you been lovelie !? hopefully, alles goed ?? (oops, not the dutch coming out...) all good ? i was thinking abt the ocean acidification thing once again because how can i not !! it's lando's confusion that just gets me EVERYTIME !!

to answer your q abt if it can be prevented or the effects be minimised, er i'd say lowering the usage of fossil fuels, and ofc just being sustainable as a country && individual !! public health truly is the connection and working together of various stakeholders regardless of status, so like everyone has a role in it !! sorry for the tangent but, i love ya and miss you bunches :(( <33

ruhi sighting !!!! the sun is shining and flowers are blossoming hi my sweet !!! how have you been ??? how has life been treating you , how are your projects ???

i’ve been pretty good thank you m’love !! uni work has definitely been uni-working as of late but hey , i should have expected this when i chose to do a degree … and AHHH the dutch !!! lando’s confusion to oceanic acidification (i spelled that correctly on my first attempt and im proud) will forever be in my head rent free …

and noted !!! gotta do my bit to reduce this as much as i can — thanks sm for indulding in my silly little question !!! never apologise for a tangent - i’m always more than happy to hear it <33

love you lots sweetheart and im sending love and hugs always !!!<333

[incohorace]

oh also aloe very, edelweiss, jasmine, and sage <333

sage ⇢ what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is? oh i’m a writer through-and-through but i’m afraid i have to say music……something about it always gets me and i can’t explain it but melodies and chords just move me in Ways….don’t get me wrong an amazing bit of prose can touch me too but melodies and chords <3

edelweiss ⇢ how’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you? it’s pretty random but it’s just. i like gooseberries and i think gooseberry is a funny word. and gooseberry fool is a real dish that exists. but also i’m a fool. that’s as much thought as i put into it but i wouldn’t change it for the world!

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again? oof that’s so so hard. to be honest, i’m not great at rewatching/rereading most of the time, but i think special mention to the untamed, which is my longest-standing fandom and something i still think about daily and yet i have watched it. once. and that was 3 years ago now. crazy. it’s way too long and long-winded for me to rewatch tho……

aloe vera ⇢ what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life? ooh i mean this isn’t that mundane but you know those parts of the sea where there are bioluminescent microorganisms that glow when disturbed? yeah i wanna swim there. also i’d like to go on a date lmfao
