Started a new book series, and has been a journey...an Odyssey, if you will.
#poorly drawn odyssey#the odyssey#Athena#telemachus#penelope#odysseus#calypso#I also drew Phemius the bard and Antinous the leader of the suitors but I'll hold onto those for a while longer.#The Odyssey has been on my reading list for ages and I finally decided to just dive into the Robert Fagles translation.#*nobody* ever talks about how damn funny the Odyssey is. Oh my god. I have been howling.#The poor bard doomed to keep playing for this unending feast. The most unwilling court jester.#Penelope being introduced by her crying about how much she 'hates this song'.#And Telemachus is the goodest lad. The OG protag to set about on his heroes journey.#He is kind! He is soft! He yearns for adventure and finding out the truth! He wants to get back at his bullies!#He even gets a companion named Mentor. THE original mentor! Who is *totally* not a god by the way. Just a guy.#Not to mention how much Odysseus gets hyped up only for his first appearance to be him sobbing non-stop.#Honestly I was mostly motivated by the need to do research for a personal project but I've been having the best time.#I sincerely doubt my current audience has any overlap with classic Greek literature but expect a few more PD-Odyssey posts.#(Yes - I am familiar with Epic the Musical; this is not fanart of that adaptation).

I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk
#speaking of presents i need to brag about something#because now i offically have 20 vinyl records that i've gathered since starting my collection in spring of 2023#and my newest one is also actually the oldest and kind of an odd one out. surfer girl by the beach boys!#i'm really shocked that my dad remembered how we had this one conversation that also mentioned this band#about how i've been meaning to get into more of those bands that are considered maybe among the most influential and sort of classic#and just more 60s music in general. and we just listened to the album today and it was lots of fun#another thing is that after 4+ years since the game got released and since my months long animal crossing hypefixation started#i actually have new horizons now yay!!!! time to dig up my notes from all those months back#where i wrote down all my detailed plansfor customising my island IF I HAD ONE#but yeah this is exciting i haven't actualy played any ac games since uh idk even when#i probably haven't logged into either of my wild world or new leaf towns in over a year or maybe even two years#so i'm excited to return to the animal crossing world once again. those games are among my favourites ever#i'm definitely naming my island 'cowtown' by the way#also it was frosty overnight so today i took a walk and took some nice photos of everything being covered in frost#the magic of nature will always amaze me so... yay. all in all i had a chill christmas time#most of all i'm glad i didn't get sick out of nowhere at the end of holidays like last year that was kind of wild and rough#and i'm sending healing powers to those who might have had to deal with sickness of any kind. i know how that feels........#goosepost

OUTIS send help, Doctor Who is the gift that keeps on giving 😭😭😭 i thought the Toymaker would be the end of it but folks in my Toymaker server made a few jokes about Six. and i had -no idea- about what kind of character Six is. holy FUCK i am in LOVE with this pompous, arrogant asshole 😖💖💖💖💖 he's so cute!!!!! so abrasive!!!! so......PASSIONATE!!!!!! i didn't know he was such a freak!!!! yes yes yes please do rewatch his era because i'm doing it for the first time and having a blast 😂💖
yes,,,, YYYYEEESSSSS. This is perhaps the best development that could have happened. I need you to know how quickly I scrambled downstairs like some sort of Ghoul to try and find the old boxsets and AUGHE!!!!
I FORGOT WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CHARACTER HE IS!!!
He's got such an incredible amount of drama and charisma and wild-eyed charm inside of him, I can't believe how this man has slipped to the back of my mind for so long. Even outside of his borderline regeneration-induced-mania during his first storyline, he's just. such a delight. Colin Baker is having the time of his life delivering every line, and you can TELL
Look at him - what's not to love?
Also, this isn't directly related to our dear multicoloured man, but - thank you for giving me an excuse to Stare Affectionately at Classic Who! There are so many of those delightful quirks and silly set-pieces you can only really find in early 70s-80s sci-fi, sprinkled all throughout, I just,,, ah <3333 it has been so long
OKIE IM RAMBLING BUT >:) EHEHE I cannot wait to see you slip further and further into Doctor Who Fevers. Come yell with/at me anytime, I love seeing ppl experience Classic Who and all the wonderfully wild things it has to offer
#I FORGOT HOW SNIPPY AND SARCASTIC HE WAS POST-REGEN#I MEAN HE ALWAYS IS TO SOME DEGREE BUT ESPECIALLY SO RIGHT AFTER....#“that's three 'I's in one breath - makes you sound a rather /egotistical/ young lady” SIXXXXXX <3333#I do also love Peri being like '>:( god-DAMN you're ugly and old and mean' RIGHT OFF THE /BAT/ AMSDNASMND#AND HIM BEING LIKE 'clearly im having some sort of breakdown. I need to become. a hermit'#STAR I AM SPINNING AROUND W/ U IN A FIELD. HAPPY DAYS ALL AROUND.#I know 6's run is controversial bc he's a lot more arrogant but tbh. so far I'm having a lot of fun. Batting my lashes at him.#call him a showpony because I'm going to ride h- <- outis is forcefully dragged away#I think I only really watched 6 w/ my nan so the memories are more sparse than some of the other docs#a bit more familiar w/ 4th bc he was around for 17234823 billion years (affectionate)#but AUGH <3!!! SIX!!! HE IS SUCH A GOOD TIME!! I'M ENJOYING RE-DISCOVERING HIM SO VERY MUCH!!#also the background music is so good??? like the music in The Twin Dilemma is amazing?? that little musical sting??#I can't remember if it's like that all throughout this season but AUGH <33 Classic Who you never let me down#I also love his little gestural quirks. whenever he fiddles behind his ear I feel my heart go <333333 MANSDMSAN#ANYWAYS ANYWAYS. outis rambles in the tags. an extremely expected development MNASDMAN#OKIES GOOBIE. STAR HAVE SO MUCH FUN.#doctor who#sixth doctor

one thing about alt stuff is that the barrier to entry to being "goth" is truely so fucking low and yet people constantly limbo under the bar instead of stepping over it and wonder why they get called posers. like we're not asking you to move mountains here we're just asking you to find even one band under the umbrella that you like and to engage with the community a little bit. The fashion has truely so much overlap between goth punk and emo so very few people will care which one you call yourself based on your look and you just have to find a band you like. Dashboard Confessional screams a bit too much for your taste and Dead Kennedys is too loud? Guess what you're in luck the goths listen to something a little softer and weirder they call it dark wave or ethereal wave depending on the phases of the moon. Try out Clan of Xymox or Switchblade Symphony. Like truly the alt music scene is so fucking diverse there's gotta be something in here that you like. If not and you truly are a pop girlie then don't call yourself punk it's very easy.
#listen don't at me I do think that dark wave ethereal wave and new wave are all basically the same music genre#but I also don't think that emo isn't even a real music genre because it's all either punk pop punk or screamo#I don't like labels when they become entirely too niche to be helpful xoxo#the only music genres to me: Punk Metal Wave Industrial Electronica Pop Punk Screamo Grunge and Goth#and then the other ones which are rock hiphop folk country pop jazz soul blues R&B ska and classical but those r less relevant here#don't make it more complicated than that it doesn't need to be#this is not contradictory with the scene being diverse btw Mitski and Kesha are both considered pop yet their music is distinct#so too two punk bands are allowed to sound different and both be punk without a whole new genre getting made up

11 and 25?
Thank you for playing!!
11. anything from your childhood you’ve held on to?
Children’s books! And some true timeless classic movies. But in concrete terms children books are soooooo important to me.
25. would you say you have good taste in music?
Haha this is a hard one. I mean, yes! Because I have good taste in everything. 😉 But on the other hand, no. I don’t think I do. I have a strong sense for a certain kind of artistry and there is this other part of me that IS musically inclined in the classical sense—I played classical piano for years and years—but also I’m very ignorant about a lot of music. And I haven’t studied it so it’s not an area that I’ve really honed my taste in exactly. It’s very meandering, it’s extremely random, there are whole swaths of it I have no interest in, don’t understand, haven’t paid attention to. So I am not your girl for curating anything musically beyond my appreciation of Taylor’s discography. I mean, I like Daughtry and sometimes, like the script or whatever. Like … it’s embarrassing.
Now my taste in movies on the other hand—supreme.
#I actually do think my movie instinct is way stronger#I also just dislike a lot of music. like what are y’all shouting about#I also find myself loving a song or not even loving but being drawn to a song for two weeks#(stick season) and then HATING it#I also love classical music but not enough to understand it. I haven’t done the work you know?#this is way more thoughts than you needed

guys what if i applied to shenandoah just bc brody went there*
#* THIS IS A JOKE#did i look up the school bc brody went there? yeah#but they also have a rlly cool program where they focus more on modern music style than the classic broadway sound#which honestly is very clear through brody’s singing i think#and also they have a lot of dance stuff which i rlly need#and they require you to audition a lot which is cool#adding it to my list of…. 15 other colleges#look i’m rlly stressed out about college okay 😭

when you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen to and send this ask to the last 10 people in your notifs !! :3
Yippie! Thank you!
1. 2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun, goodbye.) by will wood. Honestly I listen to all of his albums on repeat so it’s hard to just pick one song but this one is one of my favs I put on repeat.
2.ok this one is quite obvious but obviously big shot! Toby Fox. I have a playlist of just big shot covers as well as au versions of big shot like battle against the world. It’s such a banger song I love it
3. Savages by That handsome devil this one is a banger.
4. New magic wand Tyler, the creator I know it’s popular but it’s popular for a reason (also side note can I say Chromakopia is a fucking banger album holy shit everyone list to it NOW)
5.this one is random but I listen to DUNE:Paul’s dream LIVE on repeat so often especially during when I’m doing homework. Just the whole dune part two album surprisingly great to help me focus.
I’ll make sure to remember to put this in peoples inbox 🫡
#ask tag#mutual ask#ask game#music#this was fun!#I feel that my music taste is quite mainstream#I need more indie artists to listen to#but omg yes there’s a bunch of songs I could pick from#classic I can’t decide by scissors sisters#sweet transvestite has been stuck in my head on loop this week so I’ve been listening that to A LOT#love me dead#I love the soundtrack to Chicago#also a nirvana fan my parents raised me on his music

person writing guy whose thing is Music and whose mum is literally a rock artist from the 80s realises they have to actually research 80s rock/music in general (not just 80s, in General, i'm supposed to know how guitars and singing works and also probably what it's like for this to be Your Job)
#✍️ research female rock artists for candy#✍️ probably listen to maná because we also need latam inspo for this#i'm gonna have to learn how guitars work.....#see the thing is i Know retro music. not by name or artist or genre though#i call it “my parents listen to all the time i grew up with it”#i want to find candy's sound. like what would her music sound like#and then adam's. is he more classic rock leaning or alt rock a la nbt#my first thought for candy was blondie....#adam female rock artists son covers. no pronoun changes he's bisexual#pia.txt#( wip ) greek tragedy!

no game trying to do some kind of metatexual morality thing making the player feel culpable for their actions by giving them the option to be nice or kill everyone has made me feel anywhere near how guilty and sick to my stomach Drakengard made me feel when you blast a bunch of enemies on the ground into nothing with Angelus. and it wasn't even About That
#like ive enjoyed a lot of those metatextual type games. but that aspect questioning the players morality never hit for me#it always felt slightly off. maybe i was always just a little bit too cognizant that choices or not this is still bits and bytes#made to be played and seen in the end. ludonarrative dissonance or whatever LOL#BUT somehow drakengard got me. i felt like. dizzy. awesome game. dont play it?#i guess the way to make me feel complicit in a video game is make the game kind of suck to play? and make it unrelenting in everything else#and also sell it in retail stores in 2003. and give it a soundtrack of remixed classical music to sound as intense as possible#like i dunno the only thing i could do to stop it all is shut off the game. but i couldnt. i needed to keep going. and that somehow made me#feel more responsible than any game where you can choose to kill your friends LOL i dont know how to explain it orz

okay first of all was anyone going to tell me that ac/dc is an australian band. and second of all was anyone else going to tell me that they're apparently colloquially referred to as "acca dacca" in australia
#i knew about some general australian slang like maccas and utes and blueys but it never occurred to me that ac/dc would have one too#mostly because i just assumed they were english like so many classic rock bands i know.#ALSO APPARENTLY THE WIGGLES ARE AUSTRALIAN TOO I SAW ON THE NEW DEFUNCTLAND TODAY#i never watched the show as a kid i just vaguely was aware of some of their more popular songs#its so so fucked up to me genuinely how much accents tend to just Disappear when you sing. like where'd they go lol#anyway i was gonna say#i need to go back and do my music autism analysis shit for the rock songs i grew up hearing#i was telling latimer a lot of classic rock music feels like. like its Default Music to me somehow#like oh yeah jukebox hero we all know jukebox hero of course. whats that latimer? oh. youve never even heard of Any foreigner song. huh#so i need to like. go through all the music from my childhood. im in my childhood trauma reclaiming era anyway like i might as well#i want classic rock to go from being my 'childhood music' into my 'scavengerverse (oc) music'#like how styx and disney songs are my 'neopets ocs music' from when i was 12and AJR is my 'webcomic dev music'#god i want to be so autistic about music right now but im so sleepy tired. fuck my stupid baka life

the pure brainrot i subject myself to when i constantly re-watch the same 360p videos of the animals to just barely catch the act of alan glancing at eric and paying close attention to his body language when performing to know how to approach certain portions of the songs, or end the song in general...
#guess what i was subjecting myself to last night#alan does it all over the place in the 'around and around' and 'talkin' 'bout you' performances..........#eeeeee yes some of the few videos we have of them actually on screen together i wonder why connie watches this so much 😐😑😐#the way in which alan uses his keyboard to back up eric's voice to the point of calling himself eric's 'translator' and amanuensis........#wAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PERPETUALLY EXPLODING.......#them... thank you for sharpening my analysis skills in such a profound way i will forever dedicate my braincells to making sure the world#knows that you two are silly and kind and homoerotic with one another and legitimately enjoy the other's company and musical influence#aGGGGH i need a dr pepper and i also need more animals footage featuring alan some day to study like a peer-reviewed textbook#alan price#eric burdon#the animals#classic rock#gif#60s rock#british invasion#things i said today#animusings#that tag is from my animal blog 😔🙏 animusings everywhere including when i'm at work
