#I wish I could go back to sleep

[artheresy]

I decided to try the general public sale today instead of immediately going to the resale tickets for Miku expo and literally... within three minutes of it opening, SOLD OUT and with the way the count was going down, it was so clear that so many of the "buyers" were just bots and I'm so... I'm so tired

I hate ticketmaster so goddamn much

My personal understanding of the situation

[cr0wc0rpse]

I can’t believe it’s only 1:44pm. There’s so much day left in the day

[moonchild-in-blue]

Guys.

So the other day I thought it would be fun (??) to go through Sleep Token's twitter (yeah yeah, I know, evil site) and I had to share this here.

Listen, I LOVE the way they talk so Cryptic™ and Eloquent™ - for some reason this one just made me laugh so, so much.

Man's really said VORE with his full chest, I love it.

At some point in your life you'll realize that pulling all-nighters isn't worth it most of the time and that you can as well just go to sleep and have a good rest instead of feeling miserable in front of that word document while you aren't even physically able to write that another paragraph because your eyes sway to the side, your hands are shaking, your eyelids are heavy and you feel like you might have an out of body experience very soon. Sometimes you need to stay up all night, when your life depends on it (more or less), there are situations for which these type of measures are appropriate and necessary but you gotta ask yourself - is this really worth feeling drained and tired? Is it worth having the days blur and stretch like some sort of never ending purgatory? Nay it is not, hear my words and remember them when the eepyness comes to gather it's daily crops.

would they ever let lear or any of the rest of the pokemas originals appear in other games. the chances are so low but they're too fun to just leave in the mobile gacha game :(

Never Grow Up is a sad song and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Wish I'd never grown up I wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up Wish I'd never grown up Could still be little Oh, I don't wanna grow up Wish I'd never grown up It could still be simple

How is that not the saddest thing ever. I get Robin is thematically the same, but it feels less sad because yes, he will grow up and he will have to face the realities of the world, but if his childhood was good he will have developed the resiliency needed to face the world as he gets older (you'll learn to bounce back like your trampoline). Whereas Never Grow Up is the kid who wanted to grow up, did grow up, and realized being an adult isn't fun, kind of sucks, and they just want to go back to being a child.

I am right there with you on Never Grow Up being a sad song. It gave me pause a few years ago when it was all over Instagram reels for families/kids cause I was like... Um... it's not a "aw we want them to stay little because they're so cute!!! 🥰" story, it's a "I'm so traumatized hurt by what I've been through that I wish I could go back in time to before it happened."

I don't want to pit Robin and Never Grow Up against each other because I love them both for different reasons, but I think the poignancy in them kind of stems from a similar well but goes in different directions. In both, the narrator's own pain comes through the world she's building for the child. But the difference is, I think, that in Robin, she's singing to the child and is vowing to try to help this child stay as innocent as long as possible. She's pouring all this love and loss and wisdom into a child she loves and who is loved by everyone in their life.

Whereas in Never Grow Up, she may be singing to a child, but it's clear she's singing to herself. It's the "I just realized everything I've ever had is one day going to be gone" of it all, which is why all the memories she lists are so heartbreaking. It's someone on the cusp of adulthood who's like, confronting the fragility of life. It's incredibly heavy for what on the surface sounds like a lullaby.

Or, to put it bluntly: Wish I'd never grown up -> Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first.

Forgive me, forgive me. I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes.

You know I find it incredibly bewildering to see just how much kalki reflects myself in him like YEAH Duh of course he does, he’s my little guy it’s like his full time job. But at the same time he is a fully functional facet of my being and he is at the mercy of my whimsies, and whatever he discovers in his arduous journey of self realisation is ultimately a reflection of what I discover in the real world. It’s also incredibly funny because ffxiv lore for dark knights is really baked into the idea of (re)discovering yourself amongst the bloodshed and continuing to live and love and thrive despite the world working against us. who would have thought such a raw message could come from an mmorpg side quest about edgy emo boys of all places

also adamantite armour of fending i would lay down my LIFE for u

variant + phone bg version + ID below the cut

tch as if you guys are actually going to use artwork of my little guy as your phone background. i know. how dumb. let a girl dream. i should make an alternate version but it's of Fray and Myste

[START ID: A picture with a red background focusing on the character's bust that is placed to the left of the image's centre. He is coloured with a dark blue overlay, contrasting with the red background. He has brown skin, long black hair that falls over his shoulders, and is wearing blue and gold armour and earrings. He is looking at the viewer, right eye dark brown and the left an glowing unnatural red, with an expression that looks determined and angry and yet bitter and forlorn. In the foreground and on the right side of the piece, a miniature version of the character stands coloured in a light blue overlay and wearing the same blue and gold armour, looking as if he is glowing. He is facing towards the left of the piece, or perhaps at the character bust, his expression unreadable. Above the miniature character's head is the symbol representing the FFXIV dark knight, coloured in gold. END ID.]

should i sleep for a hundred million years or purposefully stop sleeping just to see what happens

[hidefdoritos]

I'd like to snuggle someone for an hour but also I'd like to make out with someone for an hour but also I'd like to hike with someone for an hour but also I'd like to fall asleep on someone for an hour but also I'd like to go down on someone for an hour but also I'd like to cook with someone for an hour but also I'd like to watch TV with someone for an hour but also I'd like to hear about someone's hyperfixation for an hour but most importantly I'd like to be with someone. and maybe it could be for more than an hour.

Actually, on the topic of the baby fever. God it's so frustrating. Bc when I was like 14 ish I was Adamant that I never ever wanted kids. And my dad said smth around the lines of "that'll likely change" (probably from his own experience with this) and I was like NO. it WONT.

And then eventually, age 21-22 ish, I admitted that Okay, I still don't want to have my own kids, but someday maybe I'll adopt...

And Now, 27 years old, I got the general baby fever on occasion. It Did fucking change. And I don't know if I actually WILL bother with having my own kid (I still don't want to go through the hassle and massive body changes). But god. I do see a fucking baby and feel that stab of longing. It's almost like my damned hormones betrayed me or smth. Maddening!

I shall simply write fanfic about it.
