here is the spotify link to Robin and Steve's Epic Platonic Soulmate Mixtape (vol.1) I'm going to say they made this version in the early spring of 1985. fic link

track list and explanations under the cut!!

Side A--the queer side

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler: I'm gonna take a wild guess and say y'all know why this is here

Rainbow Connection by Kermit: also self explanatory. and a bop. AND about rainbows. what more could you want?

Bangkok/One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head (Original Chess Recording version): 1) a banger. 2) from a whole musical written by the Bs of ABBA 3) Steve likes to listen to musical while vacuuming his pool :) 4) queer vibes. "the queens we use would not excite you" "i get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine" also to note they DID probably shave off the first minute of instrumental, but not all of it. I used this version and not the radio edit because in my heart of hearts I believe Steve picked up the Chess concept album in the fall of 1984, vibed with it, (I've answered an ask about stobin and the musical chess where I talk more) and that's the version he has.

Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen: tbh always sounded gay to me, and it's such a fun song, I think they'd vibe with it and agreed it's a silly little nod to steve's previous rep.

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard by Paul Simon: GAY GAY VERY GAY SONG "it's against the law...what their mama saw/it was against the law" HMM also it's catchy and has so much potential to be an angsty queer ballad too. (also Robin's dad is 100% a Simon and Garfunkle stan that's just. a fact to me.)

I'm Coiming Out by Diana Ross: iconic song claimed by the gays. for the obvious reasons. bit on the nose but this is for THEM.

Sunshine (Go Away Today) by Jonathan Edwards: About not letting someone control your life. It's catchy and heartfelt, dreams about the future. Steve's Vecna Song for me.

You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes: stobin are losers in the love department, and it's a great and hopeful song about not rushing into things. The Supremes Version because Robin is influenced by her former Hippie parents, and Steve by his Aunt Evelyn and her love of 50's and 60's music. They have appreciation for the Oldie Goldies.

Lady Marmalade by LaBelle: Disco baby. I also feel this was a song for us queer folk. maybe because I'm queer and I like it. it's great, and robin loves hearing women sing about having sex.

Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler: throwback to the first song on the mixtape Steve gave Robin at the very beginning! now with the Upside Down between them it means more too. it's also SO FUN to belt in the car. frantic and with a good beat. I don't think I need to justify this one haha

Believe it or Not (theme from Greatest American Hero) by Joey Scarbury: Robin LOVES this stupid show about a cringe fail teacher with his cringe fail life getting a super suit from aliens and then losing the instruction manual. It just feels like a show she'd like even though it's so silly. The theme song is actually great tho. I think it'd really tickle the part of Robin that feels overly average and a bit trapped in Hawkins, but feels those confines lessen when she's with Steve and getting to feel like there's more out there for her. Personally, I first heard it on cassette of top 100 tv themes (along with MASH, Law and Order, Hawaii Five-oh, Andy Griffith etc) sitting in a booster seat in the front seat of my family's motor home on a long summer road trip in the early 2000's, as my dad drove and told me what show each song was from. (Steve buddy I understand your dream so much ok. There's nothing quite like being a kid and going on a roadtrip with your family. magical.)

Side B--The Besties side

You're My Best Friend by Queen: Love song for your best friend me thinks yes :)

Stuck With You by Huey Lewis and the News: the only anachronistic song on the playlist, but I couldn't NOT put it on. lavender marriage stobin REAL. They're stuck with each other :) also look at Steve. He is a guy who listens to Huey Lewis. We know this. He heard this song a year before it came out and was like robin :') it's us....I'm stuck with you...I'm so Happy about it :))

Stoned Soul Picnic by The 5th Dimension: Robin's parents are former hippies. This song is fantastic. Pure vibes. Steve and Robin are going to get rescue cats that are bonded together and name them Sassafras and Moonshine for this song.

Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles: Bop and a half. Sing along song.

Both Sides Now by Judy Collins: 1)gorgeous song originally by Joni Mitchel but this version is a bit faster 2) Robin's former Hippie parents influencing her taste strike AGAIN 3) she tries to convince Steve it's about being "queer like him" and he doesn't buy it but "I've looked at love from both sides now/.../I really don't know love at all" and "Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange/ And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed/ Well something's lost, but something's gained" hit different for him

Only the Good Die Young by Billy Joel: I chose this billy joel song because it's 1) catchy as all hell 2) about having sex 3) mentions dying and stobin are like We didn't die!! hell yeah! Steve's a pianist and tbh he loves billy joel. who doesn't. it was between this one and piano man i guess, tho i love many Billy Joel songs that are "deeper cuts" ha. and "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints/the sinners are much more fun" line is like. what are they gonna do. not be an emotional queer teen about it?

Raspberry Beret by Prince: it's catchy, and whilst originally I had put La La Love You By Don McLean here, I like this one better. Robin is definitely a Prince fan. and a beret fan. happy coincidink. and its a fun song! about loosing your virginity to a hot girl in a barn!

Indiana Wants Me by R. Dean Taylor: okay originally I'll admit I put this on the masterplaylist because. obviously post-s4 Eddie running away angst song even if it's more folk-rock than metal. I think Steve and Robin would listen to it and really vibe with wanting to go home but not being able to. even if it's not literally. also they live in Indiana and like. you've gotta respect a song about where you live. ALSO the cop sounds in it. so good.

Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen: a song? about being disillusioned with the American dream after seeing the institutional failures of the government??? very Steve. the whole album is great, and I know I've reblogged a post about Steve and the album (My Hometown hits different). It's angry, frustrated, passionate. Being queer in a small town where the government covers up it's human experimentation and alternate dimensions probably makes you feel a lot of things. All with the veneer of Americana.

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) by Peter Starstedt: purely self indulgent of me. I adore this song. I think Steve heard it, and thought of Robin. The remembering, the deep knowledge of another person, the longing. When he told Robin that it's a song he always associates with her she tears up a bit, because it's so tender and loving, and a bit silly. Like. Steve knows she'll be amazing and can't comprehend anyone not seeing it. It's sooo tender.

Thank You for Being a Friend by Andrew Gold: Golden Girls didn't air their first episode until fall 1985, and obviously when it does Stobin are loyal viewers, (Steve is in love with Bea Arthur. as is right) but this song came out in the 70's. It's fun and cute and catchy! They love each other and are so, incomprehensibly grateful that they found each other.

Hii I was watching a Thai show recently!! And I was really interested in the fact that the main character rode in a boat to work, it wasn't like a big boat, like a small one but still had a motor (I am a very landlocked american, I know my experiences aren't universal) but I was wondering if that was quite normal?

actually yes! for example in bangkok and nonthaburi we have a public boat transportation because these two cities are surrounded by rivers and it’s much faster traveling by express boat tho the one on the left is well known for the dirty water (khlong saen saep) the one on the right is not as fast but very cheap (chao phraya river)

Thailand Part I: Bangkok

Since my mom flew to the opposite side of the world to visit me in Vietnam, we also went to Thailand together to make her long flight even more worthwhile. Although we were only there for a week, we saw and did so much that I must break the trip up into multiple posts to cover everything!

Our first stop was Bangkok. When we flew in the first thing I noticed is how massive the city is! Looking out the airplane window I could see a huge expanse of skyscrapers and cityscape stretching out as far as the eye could see.

For our first night we booked a guided tuk tuk tour of the city. Thailand is famous for its tuk tuks, motorized rickshaws that are named for the sound their engines make when they start. A trip to Thailand is not complete without taking a tuk tuk at least once.

Our tour started with a night market to eat some Thai street food before going to Wat Arun, or Temple of the Dawn. The temple wasn’t fully open since it was night time but we could still get a good look around the grounds and see the beauty of the temple at night. After that we went to Pak Khlong Talat, the largest flower market in Bangkok, before eating dinner where we had our first Pad Thai in Thailand. The tuk tuk tour then drove us around past some more famous sites before ending the night in Chinatown. Our guide took us to the famous Yaowarat Road where there are ton of food stalls every night. We got mango sticky rice, another thing that a trip to Thailand is not complete without. Overall it was a great tour and a great introduction to Bangkok.

From our guide’s recommendation we got up early the next day to see two of Bangkok’s top sights: the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, which are conveniently located next to each other. The edifices at both were probably the most beautiful man-made things I have ever seen. I was in awe at the splendor and craftsmanship of everything.

Included in admission to the Grand Palace was admission to a showcase of Thai traditional dances at the Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre, so my mom and I went to that to experience some more Thai culture.

After the show we wanted to stay out of the heat (April is unfortunately the hottest month in Thailand), so we ventured over to Iconsiam, one of the largest shopping malls in all of Asia. I have been to some very nice malls in Vietnam and Singapore, but I can confidently say that Iconsiam is now the best mall I ever been to. You can buy just about anything there, with stores ranging from luxury brands like Chanel and Porsche to more modest brands and local vendors. There are also a ton of food options; the ground floor is home to a giant indoor market and there is a dining atrium with a miniature version of the fountain in the Singapore Changi Airport. Iconsiam is located right next to the riverfront and they have a free observation deck that offers great views of the city. We ended up spending hours exploring everything that the mall had to offer. The famous Van Gogh Alive was also on exhibit there. I had never been and tickets were half the price as what I saw advertised in the US so we decided to visit the exhibit, which ended up also being a great experience. It may seem a little silly to spend so much time in a mall, but Iconsiam really was so unique and luxurious.

The Dolphin offered in Thailand has a 180 Nm electric motor and a 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, giving a range of 410 km NEDC. It has AC charging up to 7 kW as well as vehicle-to-load functionality and DC charging up to 60 kW.

All this goes to show how much progress has been made over the past 10 years or so. One can now get a car with a 44.9 kWh battery in Thailand for just $23,25. To put that into perspective, when the first generation Nissan Leaf was launched, it had a 24 kWh battery and it was starting above $36,000 in most countries. A

Hyundai made a splash at the 2024 Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS) showcasing two of their newest MPVs, the Staria and the Stargazer. While the Staria has already captured some attention, the Stargazer presents a more attainable option for budget-minded MPV shoppers, particularly in a market like India. This article delves deeper into the Stargazer's design, features, and potential for hitting Indian roads. Aesthetics: A Futuristic Take on Functionality The Stargazer adopts a bold, upright design reminiscent of its larger sibling, the Staria. A signature feature is the eye-catching connected LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) strip that stretches across the front. Flanking the DRL strip are unique dimple-shaped quad-pod LED headlights, adding a touch of futuristic flair. The sloping bonnet contributes to a streamlined silhouette, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Hyundai Stargazer Moving to the sides, the Stargazer boasts sharp creases that lend a sense of dynamism. Slightly flared wheel arches hint at its inherent stability and capability. The rear follows suit with a futuristic theme, featuring sleek H-styled connected LED taillights that complete the cohesive and modern design language. Stepping Inside: Familiarity Meets Functionality The Stargazer's cabin offers a blend of familiarity and functionality. While some design elements might remind you of the pre-facelift Hyundai i20, particularly the dashboard layout and feature set, the overall experience caters specifically to the needs of MPV users. The variant showcased at BIMS featured a comfortable six-seater configuration, with captain seats in the second row offering both sliding and reclining functionality. This arrangement ensures ample legroom and personalized comfort for passengers. Hyundai does offer a 7-seater layout for those seeking additional passenger capacity. Practicality takes center stage within the Stargazer's cabin. Multiple storage compartments thoughtfully positioned across the dashboard and center console provide ample space for everyday essentials. Neatly integrated bottle holders, especially on the rear doors, further enhance convenience for passengers. Tech-Savvy Features for a Connected Journey The Stargazer isn't just about aesthetics and practicality; it incorporates a range of features to keep passengers entertained and connected. The centerpiece of the infotainment system is an 8-inch touchscreen display that serves as the hub for various in-car functions. For tech-savvy travelers, the Stargazer offers connected car technology, allowing seamless integration with your smartphone. Wireless phone charging eliminates the need for fumbling with cables, keeping your device conveniently powered on the go. Additionally, features like automatic climate control ensure a comfortable journey for everyone on board. Safety remains a top priority for Hyundai, and the Stargazer is equipped with a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These systems include lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert, providing an extra layer of protection and peace of mind on the road. Traditional safety features like airbags (up to six), a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and electronic stability control (ESC) are also present. Powertrain Options: Focus on Efficiency While the Stargazer displayed at BIMS was a petrol-only model, details regarding potential engine options for other markets remain undisclosed. The Thai-spec model utilizes a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine churning out 115 PS of power and 144 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for a smooth and efficient driving experience. Will the Stargazer Find its Way to India? The prospect of the Stargazer making its debut in the Indian market is currently uncertain. Hyundai's current focus lies on its established 3-row SUV offering, the Alcazar. The Alcazar is expected to receive a facelift soon, potentially incorporating feature updates to maintain competitiveness with rivals like the Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari. However, the Indian MPV market remains highly competitive, with established players like Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Kia Carens vying for market share. The Stargazer's potential strengths lie in its modern design, practical features, and competitive pricing (if introduced). Should Hyundai decide to enter this segment, the Stargazer could emerge as a compelling option for budget-conscious MPV buyers in India. FAQs Q: What is the Hyundai Stargazer? A: The Hyundai Stargazer is a new MPV unveiled by Hyundai at the 2024 Bangkok International Motor Show. It features a futuristic design, a comfortable and practical cabin, and a range of technology and safety features. Q: What are the key features of the Hyundai Stargazer? A: The Stargazer boasts a bold, upright design with LED DRLs, quad-pod LED headlights and H-styled connected LED taillights. Inside, the cabin offers a familiar yet functional layout with ample storage space, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, and wireless phone charging. Safety features include ADAS like lane-keep assist and autonomous emergency braking, along with airbags, TPMS, and ESC. Q: Will the Hyundai Stargazer come to India? A: The possibility of a launch in India remains uncertain. Hyundai's current focus is on the Alcazar SUV, which is expected to receive a facelift soon. However, the Stargazer's design, features, and potential competitiveness could make it a viable contender in the Indian MPV market. Q: What are some rivals to the Hyundai Stargazer? A: If launched in India, the Stargazer would face competition from established players like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Kia Carens.
