I was listening to some of my most played songs in 2023 and figured I could try to list the ones that defined the year for me.

According to youtube my most played song of 2023 was Tulipalo by KUUMA. I don't listen to a lot of Finnish music, but my French coworker did and it was through him that I began listening to it. I love the lyrics, it's a nice vibe and the song is catchy. Later on, I found out that it's THE BIGGEST SUMMER HIT in Finland, I'm just totally out of the loop lmao how embarrassing.

Second on my list is Heavenly by Cigarettes After Sex. I've been listening to a selection of their songs for a few years now and right now this is my favourite from them. It fits my melancholy moods, but it's very comforting and gentle. I love the dreamy sound and androgynous vocals.

Then I've been listening to a lot of Homestuck music again, because I went ahead and re-read most half of it, with Umbral Ultimatum by Toby Fox ending up as my favourite this time around. It's just neat and I really love the [S] Jade: Enter. flash it accompanied.

But speaking of Homestuck, engaging with it again led me down a deep dark path...

into...

just...

The Baby Is You. There was a period in my life where I would listen to this multiple times a day. That period is not entirely over. I actually started listening to it thanks to some Homestuck iceberg video I saw before I started re-reading HS, and that was one of my inspirations to do read it again. It's... funny. And bad. But in a good way.

I think my fifth song for the year is A Cruel Barbie's Thesis - a mashup of A Cruel Angel's Thesis and Barbie Girl. Both songs are very good on their own, and the mashup works surprisingly well! But I'm sorry, there's no coming back from The Baby is You (or it's actual follow-up The Baby is 2), so I have to leave it here.

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

something about vi never wanting anyone in her life to change. something about jayce not caring at all how much viktor has changed so long as he's alive. something about the way vi associates radical change with death, perceiving jinx's continued existence as a kind of necromantic horror—the way jayce would shatter fundamental laws of nature without a second thought in order to give viktor the best chance at survival, in whatever form that may take. transformation as rebirth vs murder, hextech vs shimmer. nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature. and then jayce, realizing that he hasn't changed at all, not really—that he is a scientist at heart, and he shouldn't have tried to be anything else. and then vi, realizing she has become someone unrecognizable—never thought my sister would turn bluebelly. and for both of them, it's too little, too late.

Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.
