You should stay away from me. I'm no longer with the gang. I didn't agree. Our boss already agreed four years ago. Pull over and let me out of the car. I'm your boss!

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 01 / Ep. 09

#kiseki: dear to me #kisekiedit #kdtm #kiseki dear to me #ai di x chen yi #chen yi x ai di #nat chen #chen bowen #louis chiang #chiang tien #jiang dian #userspring #uservid #userrain #userspicy #userjjessi #pdribs #*cajedit #*gif #again. INSANE that they opened the show with this and then were like. 'these are side characters' like. NO!

Not to be parasocial but I am glad that the watcher boys seem to be handling everything well. Obviously with their response and listening to the fans, but I'm also glad that the severity of the backlash hasn't completely killed their excitement for their projects and the future of watcher.

This whole situation was a lot for everyone, and I know it's left a bad taste in some people's mouths, but I'm happy that Shane, Ryan and Steven have had level-headed responses to it (at least, public responses)

#again not to be parasocial but im sure the whole thing had to have been really hard for them #i know they made their bed but to be fair a lot of the backlash they were recieving was frankly blown way out of proportion #even though much of the fandom didnt have a level-headed response im thankful that they did #not to say that people cant feel their emotions of course #but still #for - what? three whole days #people sure did managed to Feel a lot of Big Things #wish some would have just taken a moment to breathe but alas #anyway thats not to point #point is: im happy for them and i truly wish them the best #watcher entertainment #pod watcher #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #watcher #tw discourse

Ok y'all it's time to join the party (very late) on my latest deep obsession, which THIS TIME I am going to allow myself to pursue instead of killing the joy (because of how intense it can get) and share with you!!

And that obsession is Epic: The Musical.

Holy smokes man this thing has remolded my brain, it just somehow hits all of those things which I desperately love in media

Firstly. The music is absolutely exquisite. And not even in the ways you'd normally think! Like--there's such wonderfully detailed soundscaping! The musical follows Odysseus on his journey home, and the songs themselves contain beautifully done effects that basically make the listening experience into a movie in your head. Monsters, crashing oceans, the underworld itself--and not only is this included in non-muscial sound design, it's incorporated into the music itself. The realm of the wind gods uses flutes as the main instrument--because it's a WIND instrument I'm losing my mind

PLUS there's the additional elements of musical "Easter eggs," thematic connections, leitmotifs, instrumentation identification, musical callbacks and even foreshadowing like come ONNNNN it's so well done

All of this with the added bonus that the songs, while cohesive, do not all sound the same, and do not feel like normal musical theater songs. They are the perfect mix between modern music, orchestral arrangements, and a musical theater jam, because they are 1. SUPER great to belt along to, 2. Very much linked together (as explained above) and 3. Very unlike the standard, vocal-focused empty pop sound we're used to (theater) while keeping the innovative, ear-wormy, modern (pop) beat that often feels out of place in theater!

And lyrically this musical is super strong. I spent a ton more time on the music (and will likely write more at length later) because that is what got me obsessed with it, but there's also much to praise lyrically! Unlike most modern "non-theater" musicals, while you can tell at places that it has been influenced by (the ever-present) Lin-Manuel Miranda, it feels authentically unique and independent. So many songs have genuinely profound lines (check out Just a Man, the second song in the saga) and the pop elements never lend themselves to empty repetition. Everything sung or said has a purpose, which I am obsessed with. Yes king go off give us everything

Finally (for now) there's just the genuine love that the creator(s) have for this musical. Jay Rivera-Herrans is the brain behind it (he wrote the entire musical over several years) and like...just look at what he shares about it on his Instagram. He gets so EXCITED!! And not like PR excitement, this is like legit "I'm making silly noises because I can't contain myself" excitement!!! He reminds me of me in that sense because he has SO much love and passion for what he does and the nuance in it and the people who enjoy his work, and he shares that in an unfiltered, real, authentic way, and we need to see more of that in the world.

Anyway, if you haven't heard of it and are now interested, it's pretty easy to catch up--there are 5 of the 9 sagas out right now, but only half of the songs, and Spotify has a playlist or two that has them all in order. It's only an hour and eight minutes worth of listening and I have just listened to it through twice in two days; it really does not get old. And then if you go to Jay's Instagram the rabbit hole is deep!! And he explains a lot of the lore and symbolism and intentionality/Easter eggs in the musical!! I went through all of the content he posted, pretty much...

So there's my official hawking of Epic (if only I had gotten in on this earlier!! The "Get in the Water" song that was trending a while ago?? That's from this!!) and you should go listen to it!!!!

#epic the musical #epic the underworld saga #kay is a musical theater nerd #kay can i just catch my breath for a second #jay rivera herrans #again folks i know i am late to the hype train #but as my fixation is setting in i just HAVE to share it #so anticipate a deluge of posts when i find some good stuff to reblog (gonna check the tag right after this)#and when i go back through and make like an ultimate compliation post of musical callbacks and references from within the show #which i have a feeling i will actually follow through on doing if only for my own sake haha #anyways!!#this made me very happy and i hope you enjoy it!!#kay has a party in the tags

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗯 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆. And it is excruciating. On his chest, one can trace its ugly mark, the brand less discoloration and more, unfortunately, a deep-grooved scar. It is unavoidable and impossible to ever miss. Similarly, the way it eats at him is obvious, too. Gale, especially at the start, when his condition, fresh and disorienting, was still abundantly new, the effects of the orb were frighteningly worse. At that time, he little knew how to quell it, that feeding off the Weave would balm the pain, and so for all those days and weeks of panic, he rotted and ached at a terrible pace. He had decayed. And he had bled. Gale's body oozed black, skin, especially at his casting arm, rupturing like cracks in terracotta. He tasted filth always, the bitterness of wasting flesh thick in his throat, nose perpetually leaking with the ink-dark of bleeding. He'd labored to breathe, a feeling like devouring maggots pulsing in his chest. In fact, at the lowest point by then, wallowing and stuck in his tower, Gale began to lose hair, his nails loose and cracking as he scrabbled at the floorboards, knees weak and pain bolting when he collapsed to the floor. He was a pitiful sight. And a worrying one. And even now, with the consumption of magical artefacts, one can still see the way he bows to the blight, heaving for breath when it takes his chest again, sweat at his temples and mouth gone dry. It's all-encompassing. The agony is chronic. It feels like being eaten, being hollowed to his barest self right from the inside. He's a vessel of magic, and the orb means to consume him down to his every last molecule, teeth bared, hackles raised, and appetite crushing. It's like--dying, stolen away to be but swallowed down whole, surrendering to the suck of a hungering vortex. He's unsightly. As well, too, as a burden, he thinks, to the very naked of his bones. But when someone hangs back, touches him despite his rot, he thinks, you shouldn't have to handle something like this. This mere shamble of a graveyard--he's so sorry to dirty their hands.

#HEADCANON.#I explore more the depths of his orb... a la EA Gale. More EA Gale. Because that bandaged hand will forever be in my thoughts.#Imagine at the start when he had no idea what to do about this thing in his chest.#If it fucked up his arm I imagine it had to fuck up everything else. Like. LEGITIMATELY rotting and dying.#How scary. How lonely. How PAINFUL.#God. Mystra really heard and knew him literally in agony and just said. Well. That's your fault.#ANYWAY. Now if ANYONE shows care and actively hangs back to help him catch his breath #or help him and wipe his nose when he begins to bleed he's just... oh. Thank you. (so warmed. so touched. so--#you would touch me like this? handle me when i'm just--rotting skin and vile blood? isn't this all unsightly?)#Bro. I got thoughts.#Anyway MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE. I finished ALL I HAD TO DO. But now I'm worn out. Happy to be writing again tho. :' )

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts

#i know when i post about it i usually make it Lighthearted if not outright Memey #but oh boy. this au is dark. like - like beyond the literal meaning #imagine being abandoned by your creators without so much as a warning #one day the lights go out and thats it. no answers. no comfort. no friendly faces or explanation #show's over. curtains closed. doors locked. they're all gone #it's just waiting in a pitch black room because surely the lights will turn back on. the next day will come #but it Won't. the next day won't come. it will never come. your friends won't open their eyes again. it's just you now.#you've always had company - friends and the comfort of feeling Watched Over by something beyond your understanding #but you blinked and its gone now. it's just you. no matter what you try or what you do - its. just. you.#days and weeks and moths and years of silence and a complete lack of color #burning matches down to your fingertips just to remember what shade of yellow your fleece is #its still wrong. firelight stains the color.#slowly forgetting the sound of your friends voices and what their smiles looked like and what the memories you made with them were #what was your best friends favorite joke? what was his hotdog order? how did he laugh? he used to pose for your paintings didnt he?#you can't be sure anymore. maybe the neighborhood was always dead. maybe You're dead. how can you tell?#you don't breathe. they don't either. they used to didn't they? you never did but they used to. ...right? you hope their dreams are sweet #one of your friends starts sleepwalking. you're so happy. she hurts you. you know she didnt mean it. you're scared anyway.#you can only see with one eye now. it feels... Wrong. all of your chalk drawings start coming out wrong too.#you keep missing when you reach for things. just one more thing to adjust to #were the lights ever on? or was that your own dream? you thought that was something you couldnt do.#you also thought the lights always come back. you were wrong about that. what else are you wrong about?#wh lights out au #wailing sobbing screaming etc over lights out wally... this poor little 12 apples dude...#aimlessly wandering through the town... walking through the buildings....#eventually getting so fucking lonely and desperate that you keep your best friend's severed arm for comfort #all you can do is protect your eternally sleeping friends from the Things crawling out of the shadows #mark another tally on the ground for each full circle the town clock's short hand completes #and wait for the day you fall asleep and join your friends dreams. it will happen someday.#you can feel it in the pitch seeping from your eyes and mouth. more with each decade that passes #just a little while longer. some more waiting. just you. in the dark.

great news, lads!

Stringer had his first check up with the vet following his bloat. they said he's looking good and they're very pleased with his progress and behavior! his incision site is healed very well and they removed all his stitches - he got put on another week of antibiotics, just to be safe and clean up any lingering chances at infection on his belly, but otherwise, he's getting an all clear in about 5 days!

poor guy has been through so much! just so happy and grateful to still have him here with us!

i feel like every pic i share is of him has him looking sad and lethargic, but he's always been a lazy dog who likes to nap, lol. here's one from last night when he was begging for my dessert

many thanks for those keeping him in your thoughts and sending well wishes! means the world to me ❤️❤️❤️

#again sorry if i haven't been keeping up with tags/asks/@s/etc. it has been an insane time for me recently #i'm still up here for at least another week to not only still look after Stringer but also the puppy and my brother after his surgery #the puppy genuinely is the most tiring thing now because while i'm not sleeping on the couch to monitor Stringer overnight #she just has SO MUCH ENERGY and keeping up with her while also keeping her from jumping on Stringer and aggravating him is...a lot #this is such a small townhome to house both dogs + my brother who is still impaired post-surgery and recovering #BUT ANYWAYS- I am just so happy right now with Stringer's progress. finally feel like i can take in a deep breath and relax a bit

Do you think the corporations will realise that we will care about their straight ships if they're not a girl fawning over the first guy she sees and getting married within the year and it being treated like a good thing or is this thought process too advanced for them to handle right now.

#for legal reasons this is a joke. and also being posted at 2am my time.#just. im thinking about petrigrof and why i like it. and its because its tragic and doomed and makes me feel things.#and thats why i enjoy jmart and privateeyes and literally any queer ships.#its not that i dont like straight people its that I am being spoonfed the same relationships with the same sexist undertones #over and over again #idk im just tired man #Oh this is also why I like heathers btw. That movie slaps. I do not ship JD and Veronica or anyone in that movie making myself clear #anyways #garlic breath #petrigrof #relationships #rambling #idk what to tag this and im not trying #I will take media suggestions tho. Like. For literally anything I am bored and tired and want some happiness #might delete later. idk.

I think the invader zim fandom had the right idea in the tags it used because it literally separated romance dynamics and friendship dynamics. Like for examples: ZADR means it's zim and dib romance. Easy to block and quick way to know the intensions of a piece. Then you have ZADF which is Zim and Dib Friendship. Fantasic, emmaculate, makes things 10x easier for me. But it doesn't stop there because then you have ZADE which is Zim and Dib Enemies. LIKE NO OTHER FANDOM USES TAGS LIKE THIS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIG BRAIN CAPACITY OF THIS KIND OF TAGGING IN FANDOM? Super easy to understand the intent of the art, makes it easy to avoid what you don't want to see, and allows you to easily search for what you do want to see.

Idk in a time where people don't exactly tag other relationships and will sometimes not tag shipping either it's just nice to look back on the IZ fandom and see such a robust tagging system used by basically the entire fandom.

#text #yes tumblr started recommending me IZ posts and im happy with how easily the fandom works are to navigate #as a romance averse aroace it is a breath of fresh air #this tagging was in place way back during the shows run too iirc #so im glad it never changed :)#anyways i want to watch IZ again lol.#that show was unhinged

i love how ellie is all "i want to create a world where you and your people can live in peace and safety" to miss lightkeeper and then she's all "the entire world can go to hell as long as i can keep you happy" to her like THEY ARE SO IN LOVE I AM ILL. I AM SO ILL.

#itlogthoughts #they kind of read as fell first (miss lightkeepering) and fell harder (elizabelle 'ellie' lux) to me. anyways i'm ill #you look at all of miss lightkeeping's actions through the game and oh my god she just wants to keep her safe and happy i'm going to cry #like. she even stole her favorite books for her so that she could settle in properly in the lighthouse 😭️😭️😭️ illness #sidenote did she intentionally carve in those numbers to the back of the books in hopes that ellie would take note of them and try the box #and find the memory mirror so she wouldn't have to come out and say 'hey it's me darcy:) remember me? i sure hope so' like after #kidnapping her. yeah it's definitely intentional. ellie nerd emoji (affectionate)#this reminds me i NEED to compare the writing from the original game and the updated version to see what changed #because like from both versions (based on my memory) it's really obvious that a certain dragoness is head over heels over ellie #but like ... i don't read the same from ellie 😭️ sorry luxkeeper gang<//3 #at most it could be the 'for the first time in the entire night i could finally breath easy' line from the true ending route but then again #that's because she was nearly SACRIFICED and literally KIDNAPPED like a day earlier so seeing a friendly face would be the best thing in th #world for her regardless of if she liked her romantically or not 😭️😭️ anyways it was a game jam submission so. limited time #that and it gives opportunity for building up on in a sequel game where their (romantic) relationship is built on more #but i still think the game does a good job of storytelling and establishing their relationship prior to and during the game's events #it also gives us a lot of room to work with for canon divergence/what-if scenarios (given we have FIVE other trait endings)#anyways if i had to draw a tree diagram of all the endings in my heart the lorekeeper is the closest to the true ending considering it take #AFTER ellie safely secures the third gem from the mirror. leaving the room with the gem would automatically result in the true ending iirc #sooooo yeah. yeha

Noooo one more episode left… don’t make me wait another season to see more of them @ netflix. Episode 7 was great even if it sucked seeing Colin so hurt but I enjoyed how they stayed true to how strongly he feels his emotions and the complexity of him coming to terms with the betrayal and processing it along with how much he loves Pen. And now we only get one more episode of them actually together while they’re the main focus 😭

#i will definitely be binging the season again when we finish it #also i’m very happy my mom loves polin too so much that when we watched the wedding she asked me if i held my breath too during their vows #anyway i’m not ready to say goodbye and not get any new content for 2 years #kat rambles

Song of the Day: May 19

"Big Deal” by LeAnn Rimes

#song of the day #two months precisely since I got word of the Idiot Project :(#today (meaning tomorrow I suppose. in two hours when I have to be awake and at work again) I find out how hard the new requirements will be #hopefully not too bad? hopefully I can outsource a lot of the new needs for the short-term and get it up and running well enough #and then have plenty of time to work on more permanent fixes? hopefully?#anyway I accidentally ate all the chopped habanero I prepped to go with today's dinner and now I am Warm #it was a little under two peppers. seeds included but also I ate a bunch of yogurt and rice with it so I'm fine #(dog room on fire 'I'm fine' but the dog is breathing the fire lol)#an excellent song! big voice big swell to it real good beat and a fun attitude to sing #'big deal / so what / who cares / you just got lucky that's all / it was / I swear #if I hear another word about / candlelight and long-stem roses / how you're falling head over heels / in love / so what / big deal'#the big big build on the bridge into the final punch too such a wonderful sound #'congratulations / I'm just / so happy for you / I can't contain the way I feel - big deal! big deal'

Had the most harrowing weekend after getting my hair dyed at a salon for the very first time and it being genuinely HORRENDOUS and then spending today just fucking yoloing it and buying box dye (also for the very first time) to try and fix it myself. Currently drying so we shall see if I’ve ruined my life further or saved it (I think it’s looking hopeful so far tho!!)

#I feel like I can breathe again now that I can at least tell while it’s wet that it’s all one colour #you guys don’t even understand how bad it was I’m so sad #anyway now I should have reddish/purpley brown hair as opposed to my natural very dark brown so yay I guess #tried to go blonde at the salon fyi #anyway happy Saturday night lads hope your weekends have been better than mine so far

on a show of hands who here remembers how possession works in the 80s universe it was SO long ago I'm assuming none of you do

#anyway the kids pilot edgar like a fucken. mech all the time and he just kinda lets it happen because experiencing living again makes-#-them happy #it only dies down when Isaac and Noah enter the picture and 1. he does not want them using him as a meat puppet and scaring off isaac n noa #2. once they actually know about the ghosts and they can see how badly it fucks him up because of how frequently they do it...#they put their foot down about it #they just take a while to realize what is actually happening bc. it's edgar.#finding him throwing up isn't something unusual. like he is actually in pretty decent health aside from his disabilities in jack's universe #but you cannot look me in the eye and say that you'd be surprised to find him looking gaunt and about to pass out it's edgar.#common side effects of possession include:#memory loss; nausea; dissociation; phantom pains; brain fog; vertigo; and delayed response to stimuli #but that's just the physical effects. if your body is fighting to kick out a spirit (which edgar's usually isn't) it causes a lot of-#-mental distress and paranoia #the phantom pains specifically are your body and mind trying to sort itself out. the spirit still retains the wounds that lead to death #e.g.; eddie would experience shortness of breath and tension/pain in his neck when mads is controlling him #bc she was strangled
