okay leighton meester in the weekend away is amazing. actually looks like she's not wearing makeup in the scenes where she's not supposed to be wearing makeup. her hair looks like she brushed it herself. her body is neither skinny or voluptuous and she wears clothes that are cute enough but not perfectly tailored to flatter her. they look like the clothes packed for a fun vacation weekend by a woman who feels a little bit self-conscious about her body post pregnancy and childbirth especially next to her mega glamorous friend but it's not that big a deal. drunk at the club she very sincerely and happily says to the guy who's hitting on her "do you want to see some pictures of my baby ☺️"

nsfw warning!!! | who allowed me to watch iwtv (2022)

i have no idea what's gotten ahold of me but i absolutely adore modern interview with the vampire's rendition of lestat. i adore sam reid's portrayal and i genuinely believe he's the sexiest version of that crude, sassy, manic vampire that i have never been tired of since i saw tom cruise do it first. my mind is debauched. my LOINS desired him carnally. am i gonna get shakespearean on your asses??? you betcha it's scary just how much i imagine absolutely putting that stupid ass brat in his place for once because he has no idea what boundaries are and LOVES to trifle with them. you're gonna tick me off??? grind my gears??? bend over. you're gonna make me a stupid fucking song for your so called 'lover' and put your mistress' voice on the record?? hand me the paddle. i wonder what you look like cherry red. you think you can get all distressed about 'cheating' in an open relationship and cry and beg and scream that you 'HEARD OUR HEARTS DANCIIINGGG!!!!!?!?!??!?!' okay. do it on your knees. the severity of my desire for that ver. of lestat will be the end of me because i so desperately need to see that mf pleading for a third round because blah blah blah vampire biology they have higher stamina and i refuse it. i need to see that blonde bubblegum 1920s pretty boy bitch on all fours and weeping that he'll change for the better without flashy gifs and grand gestures. show me who you really are. under the lies, under all the bullshit, under the mask you keep putting up because no one's falling for it. say you wanna be weak and get buck wild because boy you're gonna pay for your shitty actions. get NAKED erm what the flip guys! who wrote that!??!!?

Shibuya Scramble Crossing

This is post is meant to be read after reading Sailor Stars: Rebirth, Act 11: Give Me the Strength to Carry On

Pictures below were taken at Shibuya Scramble in Shibuya on December 4, 2022. 

Shibuya scramble on a Sunday night. Packed, as always. No matter which way you turn. This is were Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus find Jadeite and youma in the middle of the crosswalk.

Try to picture this completely empty of people.

A giant group of people waiting to cross the street.

Another large group over here.

Close up of the first group.

So many people. Crossing Shibuya. I didn't realize how turning my phone after starting the video was a bad idea. I will remember for next time.

Ok because I'm brainrotted. More facts about the Guilty Gear Inside My Brain

- there is a universal translation spell. Since the GG stories have people speaking all one language, I assumed that there is a sort of translation effect going on: axl speaking 1990s English would not let him interact with literally anyone in the present considering peoples various nationalities. Also explains why ppl all speak a certain language for the viewer

- Illyria is a melting pot so language over there is fucked. It's a mix of a lot of western European languages bc countries and boundaries sort of got blown up during the crusades

- The Crusades were a lot worse in my head. Like they are kind of glossed over except for the whole "a lot of people died" but it was bad bad. An immortal enemy and her endlessly propagating soldiers makes morale both incredibly hard to keep up and incredibly important to maintain

- On that note rations during this time were super commonplace. A lot of time was spent making food and resources available for The Holy Order. Large scale farms were often the target of Justice's attacks so food in general was pretty scarce. Civilians had to ration distributed food and usually supplemented it with small farms and livestock if possible. A few squadrons of the Order started eating slain gears when it came down to it (based on animals, probably okay to cook and eat. Due to hyper-regeneration I don't think gears tasted good at all but a war is a war)

- Morale is part of why Ky was appointed as a Commander so young. Propaganda wise he is just picture perfect, the kid who beat the odds and always has Hope . Perfect for morale in the Order and for civvies

- Kliff did his best to keep him out of the propaganda side of things but he is sort of ruled by the UN and their funding so :(

- Back to point one, the first time Axl timeslipped he got really really sick because of all the new viruses/germs/health shit his body wasn't used to . Modern Magical Medicine mitigates the stuff axl brings forwards though :) (the worst of it is usually the sniffles)

- the Former United States got hit the worst with the gear attacks at the beginning and them having a centralized government is an extremely new thing. States as we know them no longer exist in anything but name as they are effectively large enough communities that live in a given area. The amount of territory controlled by the centralized government is actually pretty small

- Magic does not make it easier to continent hop. I don't care if everyone can teleport or some shit i studied way too many planes to make it that easy. Boats piloted by those with water magic or magic-powered airships are the primary forms of cross-continental transportation here. Its common knowledge that if you want to beef up your ship you'll use Black Tech from Zepp. They have quite literally perfected engines from sub to supersonic since the Dawn of Revival they know their fucking planes

- most civilians don't have a large scale form of transportation. Large scale settlements are connected by magi-rail, and bicycles are becoming more common. Those who do have cars either have a small, compact car, or one that's used for many people in a given location, depending on how many people live at that location

-Sol's bike is augmented with black tech because he doesn't give a shit.

- a lot of things are still being worked on: science took a massive hit with the destruction of knowledge in 99 and then another hit when the crusades started. Most innovation during that time went into how to kill more gears and let people survive so in peacetime more effort has gone towards uh. Other stuff.

- voyager 1 and 2 still operated and stopped transmitting data when their supply of plutonium was no longer able to power them. The Golden Record is still up and out there. :)

nanowrimo update - days fifteen & sixteen

word count - 23164

not a lot of writing happening lately. i am pretty behind rn but i’m going to do that thing where i tell myself every single day and say that i’m going to go crazy and catch up all in one fell swoop. wish me luck!!

also, the power has gone out in my apartment no less than 30 times in the last three days. landlords are useless. so that’s been a pretty heavy distraction :,). i want to move out quite frankly!!

excerpt:

I glance back. Old Man Gnome is standing just outside the room, comfortably grinning from the edge of the tunnel. “I told you that you could try to get information from her. She knows just about everything, but people don’t usually get much out of her.”

“What is…” I yawn. “What is she doing to us?”

“This room sucks energy, and funnels it right to her,” he says gleefully. You wouldn’t be the first travelers to fall asleep down here. And I’ll say, I’m not keen on dragging you two out of here.”

As if on cue, Etta slumps onto me, completely passed out. I don’t have the strength to hold her for long, so I lower her to the ground as gently as I can.

Which, as it turns out, is not very gently at all. She thuds against the moss as I lose my grip.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing Part 2 with Hachiko

This is post is meant to be read after reading Sailor Stars: Rebirth, Act 13: We Have the Strength to Carry On.

Below are a few more pictures of the area around Shibuya Scramble taken on December 3, 2022.

During the final battle, Princess Serenity is blasted into one of the subway station entrances.

Another view of the subway entrance.

What is a trip to Shibuya Scramble without visiting Hachiko??

Getting a picture with Hachiko.

Even this covering has Hachiko.

One of the few spots with benches in Tokyo!

Hachiko statue is a popular meeting place.

Ukraine flag on his front paw.

Hachiko is positioned to face the main entrance for the train station.
