OKAY I'M MAKING AN INTRO POST
my main is @isitsafetodrinktherainwater32 so if you see it in your notes... THAT'S ME
hello my name is joe i'm a lesbian and i use any pronouns except he (YES EVEN NEOS) this is my utdr sideblog where i post my silly drawings and i scream about ralsei my favorite marshmallow man
i follow from there so um. Watch Out
----------------------------------------------------------
i've made a lot of deltarune aus lol but the ones i post about a lot are triscript, my lightner ralsei au and soap seam au!!!!!!!!! ^_^ i like making aus because i like putting characters in silly outfits. i made triscript because i wanted to try and make a deltaswap-style thing, lightner ralsei because i wanted an excuse to draw susie and ralsei being siblings and soap seam just popped into my brain one day. WOOHOO!!!
i also have a few deltarune ocs but i don't post about them that much... except for tenna because she's fun to draw xD
i have also made a 100% not serious parody of just dance called just dodge which is basically deltarune's story of undertale. it's cringe on purpose so i think you should definitely read it teehee heehee
----------------------------------------------------------
about tags:
#my art is anything related to art that i make (mostly drawings but there's also a few Other Things 0_0)
#epic slideshows 300 is for my cool epic videos that i post
#rb is my reblogs tag, self explanatory
#srb are self reblogs.. sometimes i reblog from myself
#welcome back to me screaming is the me being annoying tag. if you want to read my thoughts... it's there
#asks for answers to asks that i get
#req for drawing requests from my darling followers
----------------------------------------------------------
i reblog everything that i like (and is utdr related because. this is an utdr blog lol) and i try to say interesting things in the tags but i'm not that good at compliments lol... i'm trying
sometimes i don't reply to comments unless i'm sure that you know what my main blog is because i still can't comment from my sideblog. so it would just look like a random person entering a conversation LOL
reblogs are very appreciated ^_^ likes are good too but reblogs help spread my art, so if you think my drawings are good then consider reblogging them! maybe even write something in the tags if you're feeling fancy. no pressure though! i just like reading tags °_°
SPAM LIKERS / REBLOGGERS VERY WELCOME!!! I LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE GO THROUGH MY BLOG AND THINK MY DRAWINGS ARE FUNNY ^_^
my askbox is always open and you can ask me anything (but please be normal lol) OR send me drawing requests!!!!! i will reply to everything unless it makes me uncomfortable
i don't have a dni, i think the block button is more effective LOL but if you have an empty blog i'm going to treat you like a bot and block you. PLEASE put on a profile picture it could be an ms paint drawing of an onion and write something like "im a new user!! im a lurker" in your bio so that i know you're human it doesn't have to be personal information!!!!! just act human!!!!!!! please!!!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------
also...
to all spamton fans, i have very bad news for you. if you've ever wanted to see spamton in my artstyle you must know...
i have taken an oath to never draw spamton. dig through the #spamton haters anonymous tag to find out why...
----------------------------------------------------------
THAT'S BASICALLY IT!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE FUN SCROLLING THROUGH MY exponentially worse content™

I’m ngl I just scrolled through your blog to look at your “controversial takes” posts to find those haters wait was it the Rin additional time one because bro the age gap might not be big but the maturity one is…like especially with Rin and how he acts too omg
Bro the itoshi sibling angst was never that deep im ngl i never thought it was super sad or anything either i mean it doesn’t help that i didn’t care much for them but when you think about it its just two brothers beefing like yeah it sucks because they once had a nice relationship but i mean id arguably say i think kaisers backstory is sadder than that and i don’t even care about kaiser either…idk there’s also something off about when they did get along im not really sure how to explain it but I don’t find anything special about it either so uh
NO FR im crying at the craziness in their profiles KIYORA AND THE TWINS AND THE ASS WASHING??? WHAT aikus had me SENDING like bro being like “i like drinking! Oh haha i mean I WILL love drinking…when im 20….and of age….nope never drank before hahahahaahahah” it’s so Aiku I’ve seen people going insane over the “finding playmates” response too and HES THE MIDDLE CHILD BETWEEN TWO SISTERS just like otoya i fr read that and lost my mind like what are their sisters doing and why aren’t they teaching them respect LMFAO kuronas is so cute wdym he’d bring his hedgehog with him as his only thing to a deserted island im crying also the saga of hioris celebrity crush had me losing it from “congrats to her marriage” to “she inspired my broken bone fetish” WHAT I fr can’t wait for more tabieitaken Barou crumbs though im surprised this is all out so early!!
Oh yeah me neither LMAOO like we don’t even see bro later idgaf I also can’t imagine him playing that important of a role the main story either I also feel like chigiris injury would only happen again in the World Cup or something not mid nel so…..
CRYING FR PNGLOCK agreed at least the pngs were drawn nicely for the most part but the animation and like the effects they added to try and make it look better had me laughing maybe they’ll sneak in more Karasu scenes in the u20 match at least we’ll have a couple moments of him facing against sae plus the Rin and Shidou carding thing LOL
LMAOO epinagi fr cooking with Karasu but we seriously need more panels of him in circulation because you’re so right
AHAHSG TAKE YOUR TIME LMAOOOO omg brief touching grass moment I know the feeling LOL
Also wait Karasu x WHO NOW?? SUKUNA???????? This reminds me of that era of Sukuna and hello kitty or Cinderella or something what the
- Karasu anon
LMAOAO PLS I POST SO MUCH that’s some dedication fr…although what else should i expect from resident goat karasu anon SDKLJF 😭 anyways i try not to vague post or get into drama or anything so i won’t say which post i was referencing in specific but considering how synced up we are let it suffice to say that if you found something silly during your scrolling that’s probably what i meant HAHAHAHA
OH MY GOD OKAY THANK YOU tbh angst in blue lock is so hit or miss for me like sometimes i’m just like okay was it really ever that deep…it’s not to devalue people irl who have experiences like that and have it impact them but like in fiction i’m just like ok??? i think the only backstories that have genuinely made me feel sad have been kaiser’s, lorenzo’s, and snuffy’s literally NO one else made me mega emo (reo and hiori get honorable mentions because i feel bad for them but it’s not ANGSTY to me yk?? idk maybe to me it’s not angst without death literally looming in the background SLDKJF perhaps that’s a mira problem) and yeah ofc part of it is that i’m not rlly an itoshi stan like that but kaiser is also a part of the core four opps and i found his backstory really sad so i truly do think it’s just a personal preference thing idk
KIYORA HAD ME GASPINGGGG lowkey he’s so funny i bet he was just saying all of that with such a straight face too…truly king of goofiness i have no choice but to support LMAOAOOA omg aiku’s had me cracking up he’s actually lowkey real this is just further proof that he would be a really fun bestie SDKLFJSD like he’s just chill with truly anything…nah because the bllk phenomenon of one older and one younger sister + absolute villainy MUST be studied!! actually wait i think kunigami disproves that because he’s nice but still 2/3 is not a great look 😭 KURONA AND HIS HEDGEHOG HAD ME CRYING PLS the way it was just called hedgehog number two the entire time…okay hold on when i read that hiori had a fetish for “fractured” girls i thought it was more of like an “i like girls who are traumatized and broken” in an #icanfixthem way not him actually being into broken bones HAHAH it’s insane either way though
yeah exactly that’s the one thing w epinagi being so far behind is that so many things lose their hype because we know how it ends…imagine how much more fun team tabieita vs team nagi would be if we didn’t know that nagi wins and they steal kiyora?? honestly i find myself enjoying the epinagi chapters more so i do sometimes wish that there was that element of surprise that bllk main manga can pull off…but anyways yeah agreed i would be surprised if they injure chigiri already ig anything’s possible but who knows
AHAHAHA PRAYINGGGG WE GET GOOD KARASU SCENES IN U20 however at least my nagi and barou sides will be fed well hehe anyways yeah the effects lowkey had me giggling ik everyone’s taking it seriously and crashing out but like i’m chilling it’s just not that deep it’s like reading the manga but i get to hear karasu’s fine ass voice instead of having to imagine it yk
BRO HOLD ON HERE’S THE LINK I NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO SEE THIS 😓 i was literally so taken aback like where did this even come from??? the sukuna x cinderella (and in fact all of the disney x jjk) stuff was really random but at least disney princesses are like relevant to pop culture?? i’m so confused at how KARASU got involved SDKLFJSD idk who the og artist is either but it’s like VERY OBVIOUSLY karasu omg i wish i was there irl to see your reaction it’s just the most bizarre thing (but like i said…if that’s what the artist is into good for them ig)
HELP OKAY i finally finished i just need to proofread and then post!! i lowkey might fall asleep beforehand though so who knows if it’ll actually be posted soon or not we’ll see LMAOAOAO but anyways i will be freed at last ngl it’s kinda ass but oh well it is what it is

About Me
Hellooo friend! You can call me Naps ♥ I do not have the mindspace to have multiple blogs, so this is going to be whatever it is. Right now my main fixation is bsd but I am going to post other stuff too. I make silly little drawings and dumb jokes.
Content to expect
While I tend to post wholesome content, I will still from time to time post stuff that relates to heavier topics. I will add tw tags and tw at the top of my posts. If I miss anything you think should be tagged please tell me. I won't be posting anything that is sexually explicit just maybe suggestive. I will also be cussing most likely. I have or will likely mention: typical dazai suicidal behavior, depression, ptsd, pmdd
Do what you got to do to keep yourself safe. I hope this helps you make the right choice. ♡
Asks
If you like my doodles/drawings and want to request one I would love to draw it for you. I can't promise I will be quick but I love making little drawings for y'all (:
I love love love the 'bsd characters supporting you <3' series thing I have been doing, so if you have ideas for those I'd love to hear it. But also you can ask me anything.
My dms are open too! Feel free to reach out ♡
Tagging, other projects, and such under here :)
Tagging
bsdrewatch2023 assushi count: what will be tallied -> #assushi
supportive bsd content like: Kunikida reminding you to take care of yourself -> #bsd character supporting you <3
silly scribbly bsd comics like: sskk take a brief intermission -> #naps bsd comics
bsd themed digital planner pages -> #bsd planner
my doodles -> #naps doodles
everything I've drawn -> #naps draws
autobio comics -> #naps self comics
projects im working on (haven't started yet but planning on very soon) -> #naps codes
random thoughts -> #nap talking (get it like sleep talking.. very dad joke of me)
lol I also have a tag for myself with all my sskk reblogs just cause ... well you know -> #one thing about me is ima reblog sskk fanart :)
Coding Projects
I have a couple coding projects in mind that are bsd related. I just made a side github and figma account lol. I will post about them soon. I am just adding now because I will forget. (So far I am thinking of making a dashboard for assushi data lol and also I want to make a website to create your own gifs out of drawings I make, hopefully soon to come) My github: 4-hour-naps
and also
thank you for reading all this!
All of you are so talented and have such beautiful minds. I'm always amazed by other's art on here or laughing at y'alls silly posts. I am still kind of new to tumblr and tumblr culture, but this bsd side of the internet is fun. I like y'all lol. I want you to know if you reblog my drawings with tags I read that like 5 million times it makes me so happy. Thank you it means a lot that you like these scribbles.
Also I was active on tiktok with this same user. My account is still up, but I’ve deleted the app. So sorry if you were following me on there, I probs wont post again.
sending you all my love ♡*:・゚✧*♡:・゚✧♥

MOMMY NOBUUUU /p i need someone wise’s advice !!!!
i like to make silly looking “art” (i don’t even consider it real art, it’s more like memes/doodles) (like the ms paint art style, that looks a bit like pixel art and also looks sketchy and simple) and i CAN’T DECIDE if i should make an account to post it??? i really want to but i know NOTHING about ig and its algorythm (even though i did use to have disney and anime fanpages with a decent amount of followers when i was, like, 14). i don’t wanna end up with an account with like 2 followers cuz what if affects my self esteem and the way i view art hsjsg ???? i like my cringy artstyle but.. idk im probably overthinking this AGHH
yk it’s just that when i was a fan account it wasn’t my art so it’s not like i got offended if people didn’t like/comment/save. with things i created it would be different i think??? i’ve been wanting to make an art account for YEARS and i just got into the artstyle (i had a “normal” artstyle before) but wait wait lemme try to link the pics
(hope they work)
so this is the first thing i’ve ever drawn in this style https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-AJt9jSnPo1Enyg4B8Dnm0HMYeFIhxYX/view?usp=drivesdk
and then it just kept going. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-I8x_U-9_ZVwpPE6aDAWlW0ApEuJ2r5Z/view?usp=drivesdk
and going (yes that’s a gyaru trying to talk to a golfball and yes it’s a remake of this meme https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/d6udnl/why_wont_it_move/)
and then i saw this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1qO6MbBOo51PK-jhMltsnpfCb0yTGV2/view?usp=drivesdk
and i went “this is so hsr main trio” https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-5MwpEQLIFx_iLdif6R9o66Xc2HW5vjw/view?usp=drivesdk
this is cursed, i’m aware.
then i started making these https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-60FA9_FROx2c0SQrzh1RXOXxm7tFl5G/view?usp=drivesdk
you have NO IDEA how many of these i’ve made. because idk either. all i know is that in three days i had made 20+ of them (which may sound like it’s not much, but for me and how little i used to draw it’s a lot)
and now i REALLY want to make the account but i’m TERRIFIED bc what if no one likes that kind of cringy stuff?????
i’m literally so sorry to bother you with this /gen it’s just me overthinking stuff as always :/ don’t feel pressured to answer me ofc!! <3 also i rlly rlly hope things are going better for you! sending love and support <33
gratefully yours
breaker anon~~<3
MOMMA NOBU HAS ARISEN /j j j j
first, those arts are fucking GORJUS my sweettums. as someone who has lost the ability to draw, that is beautiful. i used to think of becoming a free style painter or to learn how to draw digital but somewhere along the way i just gave up and decided to simply settle on writing instead. even now, when i see art tiktok or recommendations of compilation videos on yt, i feel a bit of an ache in my chest. its just there, y’know?
second, i think you should do for it. maybe try opening up an account on a platform ur incredibly familiar with. perhaps tumblr? or even ig? or even tiktok works too! just any platform you feel safe and comfortable and know how to navigate is good.
and yeah, i can def say felt to the “it will make my mental health worse if i only get 2 likes or smt” bc same same same. i try to write good and capture the characters’ personality correctly while keeping the fic ‘alive’ only to end up with like,,,, hundreds of likes but no feedbacks or reposts or smt LMAOOO
as for a single tip i would give is to expect everything. not everyones going to like ur content and they will suddenly crash into ur inbox talking abt how they hated this fic or smt of yrs bc it was disgusting or not their thing. that has happened to me like,,,, 3 times???? i think?????? and and!!! be sure to do a bit of research beforehand, me thinks. see what kind of attention you would get when u start to post on ur page or account.
honestly, i started this blog as only reposting blog. but then one day my very first 🦝 anon came and i decided, why not write a thirst thought i had with friend and see how it goes? and it just spiraled from there.
main thing is, have patience and love what ur doing. don’t burn urself out over it too much or else what u used to love will end up being what u hate and take good care of yourself sweettums<3

i have a few things to say to you actually
big fan of your adhd/autism bracket, hi also im the moderator of @selfindulgentsillinessbracket and also @weird-al-song-tourney and your blog specifically was one of the main reasons i felt inspired to start my own brackets so thakn you for making me feel inspired enough to do this too bc its been really helpful for my own life
also its funny but your point about how autistic girls are barely a thing in media is exactly a major reason why i made my own self insert autism oc character a girl, because it hit me that "oh wait theres like zero autistic girls in media that i know besides like 3 in total" and like 3 maximum? like, 3 characters is fucking nothing lmao, i mean obv i cant submit my oc but yeah, i am glad i am not the only one that noticed this problem lmao
anyways if webby or dendy arent the winners of this bracket i will be slightly sad but also this bracket existing means we all won in reality
hi how are u doing btw? i hope ur doing well !!
1- giggling and kicking my feet this makes me really happy to hear. but also feels kind of crazy because I think your selfindulgentsillinessbracket is WAY cooler than any of mine. I want the swag to put my own ocs in a bracket!! actually maybe in future I will host a bracket that is for peoples neurodivergent ocs 2- the lack of autistic girlies is a media trend i have like, A Lot of thoughts about but I don't want to get too heavy on my silly bracket blog 😳,, 3- I'm literally going to be so upset if Webby loses any of her polls/lh but I also acknowledge that Ducktales 2017 isn't the most popular show out there and that I'm setting myself up for failure there </3 as for Dendy.... i think she should win, she deserves it after what she's faced in every previous bracket (including my own) 4- hiiii, i AM doing well and I hope you are too!!! currently a busy lady trying to keep on top of the submissions form! 5- you are very kind and I appreciate your words <3

From what i read on your old blog, zandik is the better cook, so it got me thinking of a lil scenario:
It was zandik's birthday, but he didn't care. What so special about birthdays anyway? It's no different from any other day, at least that's what he thought. You seemed to have a different view, 'of course it's important!!' your voice echoed in his head, he let out a sigh. He'd rather be tending to his reaserch and experiments right about now, but you've kicked him out of your shared little home, telling him to 'get himself something nice' and sent him off with a bag of mora in his hands. He honestly couldn't believe you'd managed to do that, granted, you did shove him all the way out of his chair and out of the house, but he didn't try too hard to stop you either. He'd humor you this time, but only because you were being much more tolerable lately.
The bag of mora jingled with each step zandik took as he made his way back to your shared house, of course he didn't get anything, why would he? Anything he needed you'd get him before he'd even ask for it, he'd just be throwing your hard earned money away.
The strong and chocking smell of smoke was what first assaulted zandik's poor nose as he opened the front door. 'what have you done this time??' as he stomped his way to the kitchen, the main source of the smoke, and-
.
.
It was quite... a sight, it left him and baffled. The kitchen was a wreck, flour and batter was covering the counters, and... the ceiling too?? Your face was covered in soot and flour, your hands covered in thick, strawberry patterned oven mitts, the same ones you insisted to buy because 'the little strawberries are so cute'. In your hands was a cake, well, what's left of it anyway. It was burnt beyond recognition, and still in the silver pan you baked it in, which was now also somehow, burnt. You were trying (and failing) to scrape the cake onto a plate, but it seemed to have literally fused to the pan.
It was only due to the sound of zandik dropping the bag of mora on the ground that you'd finally noticed his presence. Clear shock was written all over his face, his red eyes met yours
"uh... Happy birthday?"
STOPPP NOT MY OLD BLOG 😭😭 but i guess i both hc that zandik can cook, and can't cook. ITS JUST. IT FEELS LIKE HE COULD COOK, BUT LIKE, SOMETIMES IM LIKE "that bitch should never enter the kitchen".. IT SEEMS SO SILLY FOR HIM TO BE THE ONE WHO'S GOOD AT COOKING (thats why my writing may differ time to time)
BUT THIS IS SO FUNNY AHAHAH,, he'd really rather be in his room because, well, birthdays were never important to him. it's not like people wanted to celebrate his birthday either way. you on the other hand? you're more sentimental on things that shouldn't be a big deal, but you are anyways. that's one of the things that makes you, you.
however, he does not appreciate you kicking him out of the comfort of your shared dorm room... he didn't complain, but that's besides the point (you looked so excited, he couldn't say no)! so he spent the day in a library to read whatever that interests him, and ignoring the stares and whispers behind his back.
he didn't except to come home to such a catastrophe. there are many reasons why zandik has banned you from the kitchen, and you making an absolute wreck of the kitchen as if a hurricane just passed your dorm was one of the reasons why he made those rules!! he pinched the bridge of his nose, holding back from showing any more irritation to not break your poor fragile heart. he should've known you'd pull something like this.
so he literally spent the majority of his birthday helping you clean up the kitchen. he sent you to the bathroom to take a bath halfway through and when you finished, he's putting back the rest of the messy plates on the drying rack.
zandik sighs when he looked at you. you were like a dejected kicked puppy with the way you acted, a frown on your lips and eyes all teary. you just felt extremely bad for fucking up :(
"i just wanted to do something special for your birthday..." you mutter, fidgeting with your fingers and refusing to look at him. you hear him sigh again, and you tried not feel more humiliated than you already do. but the unexpected happened.
zandik wrapped his arms around your body, his face buried on your neck. then he pulled away quickly, not before planting a kiss on your cheek. "you're always so thoughtful. i appreciate that. next time, try not to make a mess."
the way you instantly brightened up, face completely flushed in embarrassment, but happy he's not that pissed at you for wasting a day away from his work. "i promise! i'll just buy you a cake." you grinned, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. zandik could feel the tips of his ears burn before he pushed you away, glaring at you.
"don't get any ideas just because i thanked you!" you only laughed at that, and he felt his insides melt at the sound of it. maybe just by having you around was enough as a birthday gift for zandik.
"now, tell me..." he hesitated. "when's your birthday?" the shit eating grin on your face makes me regret that he ever asked.
THIS IS SUCH A CUTE IDEA ANOND SHDSAGHDA zandik could NEVER be too mad at you!! esp when he's hopelessly inlove AHAHAHA <33

is that a yanfei pfp omg, my inner and outer yanfei main loves you oh oh oh and and and also screw that dumbass ask this anon sent about yuuka THEY ARE SO INCORRECT GRRR "y'all only like yuuka because she is a girl!1!1!1!1!1!1!"
yeah no fucking shit so many of us like her because it solidifies the place of fem!yuus in the twstverse and stops dumbass people saying "hmph. its a MALE ONLY COLLEGE why do you have a female OC?? Just make a male OC???" (obviously not every person is like this and we should still appreciate masc OCs they matter just as much mwah) but we should denounce people who are so close minded.
like mannnnn that ask made me so annoyed but your response literally summarised everything i would've wanted to put into words but a bit less violent. the audacity they had to send in that dumbass ask smh like damn bitch let people enjoy a new character? so what if it's fem!yuu? like this is one of the times twst isn't being problematic but nah people still gotta have a problem with this and not the other issues (cough cough "Monsieur pyramid" cough cough)
also yuuken was actually pretty hyped up intially did that anon just sleep through an entire period of twst tumblr fandom lmao. i remember people writing so many fics and i haven't seen anyone say jack shit but the moment it's yuuka its "Nooo you're gonna project onto her waaaah!" like pls stfu we are literally just excited for a new character joining our silly fandom and becoming the subject of either a) unimaginable fluff or b) unimaginable angst smh /j
im sorry for taking my silly anger out in your askbox (ofc none of that is directed at you cause you wrote a bomb ass response to them and honestly you really put them in their place!) but that ask just annoyed me so mf much and i been thinking over my anger of it for a day and a half now
love your fics btw I get so mf excited when you post EJFHHEJD I hope you're having a lovely day mwah mwah, feel free to ignore this ask too no pressure 💓
(_____)
NO BECAUSE I HELD MYSELF BACK, I say a lot of shit when I'm mad so it's better I hold myself back in these scenarios. But that's true, like search the Yuuken x reader tag and you'll find a sum of fanfic's, if you go to the yuuka x reader tag.. It's just me!
Sure Yuuka's hyped up, but like you said a decent chunk of it was due to the fact that her existence makes it so no one can attack fem oc's. And yeah a whole other part of the fandom simped for her, but you have got to understand that majority of the twisted wonderland fandom from my experience is homosexual.
Like I know a decent few lesbians, who write twst fanfic, so it's like not much of a shock that people simp for her a lot. And anon has to realize that fanfiction was created so you can self insert yourself in a scenario.
Like making that comment on a fanfic blog, was really fucking stupid ngl. And it seemed misogynistic from my perspective, ngl. I didn't say it because in my humble opinion that might've been "taking it too far"
Anyways, thank you for sharing your opinion, (And it's ok to rant to me as long as your not being rude abt anything) AND THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING MY WORK <3 And abt Yanfei, I've been growing her! I may main her one she gets to lvl 90!

okay let's be boring and go with ace as a name bc that's my nickname irl bc I'm a massive gilmore girls fan (team logan btw iykyk)!!
I really want to attempt writing fics but I'm wayyyy to nervous! I was okay at English in school and I always send obnoxiously long asks into blogs on here with my ideas based on their fics (sorry fellow tumblr.com authors you all get forced to see my writing) but I have nightmares of writing and putting it on here only to be bullied off the platform ahahahahah
jealous of the sun bathing in England rn its been pissing it down raining all dayyyyy, we only get like 1 week of sun a year and the rest of the time its very stereotypically rainy !! my day was shit but always better after taking to you bff!
also please excuse my excessive use of exclamation marks idk why but to me a full stop feels mean and I also use ellipsis way too much but I, like you, am the drama so I love to build unnecessary tension...
I've actually always wanted jury duty but I've never been called for it, I know it's meant to be so boring but I want to live my jury duty delusion of being a hot juror! a torrid jury love affair? hello I'd read that fic
spring break always sounded so fun to me as a sad English child!! we just call it Easter holidays and be boring and religious but when I hear spring break I imagine drunk people on a beach in florida yk?
my current obsessions for blogs are;
-lottiecrabie (pfms has me in a chokehold)
-toomuchracket (living in the flatmate! matty delusion rn)
-byyourside28 (loving the soft sound series as a person obsessed with getting tattoos)
-justlikemebutsixfootthree (literally all their smut is god tier)
-bookishstrawberry (fluffy and gizmo series has my heart)
-imightgetbetter (the whole love it if we made it series has me wanting children but only fictional ones with matty... the delusion creation is STRONG)
and OF COURSE the no 1 blog on tumblr is the beautiful, amazing and unmatched... shinycollorboneapologist
omg yes to only letting matty into our cottage to sing, we will bring him out tea and cigarettes but otherwise no rats allowed sorry ratthew!! taylor however gets the master suite with a 4 poster bed and unlimited pampering!! same with Ross, George and Adam bc only ratty needs humbling (I really do love you tho Matthew give me one chance I'll be your controversially young gf)
ily bff!!!
-ace (my new name rip illicit affairs anon you will be missed)
ps. apologies for the ridiculously long ask I literally am so obnoxious
..... i love gilmore girls. lets chat abt that.
okay that is very ... warranted. i also was super nervous and tbh ... style was probably never going to be posted but i was a bit inebriated after my birthday and just posted it without looking back. look at us now!!! so for that, i say you should 110% just take the leap. i will be your #1 fan actually.
i will send the sunshine and good vibes your way. i usually like the rain a lot, but i can imagine it gets a bit tiring if its like that all year long. im glad you had a good day!!!!
i love your use of exclamation points okay. there i said it. it just makes everything you say feel so excited and happy and i love it. the ellipses ...... love that for us. ofc you are the drama, you're the main character hello.
that is how i want my spring break to be, but alas i am working and writing my silly little stories for tumblr.com. SGLJFDLG easter holiday just sounds so cute though?
okay can we talk about pfms.... because that. that fic is my hyper fixation atm. like i just … it’s everything to me.
also all of those blogs i follow and love more than life itself. most of them axtually inspired me to write myself which is like 🫂 i use all of them as my silly little delusional daydreams (esp toomuchrackets flatmate!matty, the things i would do for that man and justlikemebutsixfootthree’s recent smut… jeez)
please you are too kind. idk abt no 1 blog BUT… i’ll take it okay.
maybe some cheese too, since he is a rat. taylor gets the master suite with us, we’ll bake her little cookies and biscuits and give her the best pampering treatment of her life. (also pls let’s not conjure matty to my blog … that would be so embarrassing to me i think i would keel over and die) (i also will fight u for the spot of matty’s controversially young gf)
ilysm and i hope u have a great day

Tech talk
Tomorrow is kickoff. How do I feel? Kinda. Okay? I fetch a flu on the last days and my credo "do this or die on the road" starts to kick in. But on the other hand we always get a flu when we don't need it, eh? And when had we ever needed one? Anyway.
So far I wrote quite some Blog posts about how to find routes and plan stupid stuff. Stupid, because many things will not work once you start the trip anyway. But planing is still a good thing (isn't it?) because at least you learn about the possible options. And knowing the options is always a good thing!
But lets talk about something else: The Tech!!!!11!elf
It's so tech!!
I want to travel some 'roads' that are not very common for mid Europeans to hit. And what do you do if you want to know more but have no friends that ever leaves the home town? You reach out for social media and videos. And you probably had already noticed that I'm not quite a fan of vtubers and traveling youtubers. I would love to rant a bit more about them. But not now.
I still enjoyed to see the scenery. To see the locations. See the bus or the trains and having the opportunity to create my own, silly incomplete picture of what it is like. And so I decided that I also want to capture media! At least this time. Because last time, I did not even shot an single picture of anything in more then 1 year of living in Xi'an.
What to do with this media. Well. I don't really know! Will I just place them online? Maybe? Make youtube Videos that violate alot of copyrights? Maybe! Make fun on other popular vtuber content that made me cringe? Hell yeah! We will see!
(obviously I will most likely do nothing of all that!)
(Noel Philips - full time 'being not at home to review toilets' v-tuber)
Timelapse
The main brain fart that made me plan this trip was to see and feel the 'world' in between two places. And I noticed that some bored highway guys made timelapse videos of driving from a to b.
youtube
And while timelapse videos can have this 2007-warcraft-rouge-in-bw-with-linking-park-music feeling, they also can be interesting. Plus they ripe like wine. They are usually just showing the raw thing. No filters, no effects. No 'selection' of what to see. And I kinda like this. Nobody might be interested into a timelapse now. But it might be interesting later.
Anyway. So I decided to try that. And noticed, that there are not really affordable 'timelapse' Devices on the marked o.o?
Mobile Phones can do the trick. If you use some nice apps, they even could do it well. But for how long? What do you think how long will your power last? Mobile phones are small computers. They are not meant to record something for 4,8,24,48 hours non stop. And im pretty sure that most of the apps had not been written for this kind of 'professional usage', too.
Cameras are bigger devices. The can have a lot more capacity on board and the image quality should be nice. Okay. Do you want to spend more then 500 bucks on them? I .. dont know. Isn't it overkill? Another thing is that this cameras are huge. How to place them in public transport and let them run for 24h without getting robbed?
Build something! Yeah. Sure.
I got my hands on a cheap gopro7. When it comes to timelapse feature, there is absolute nothing positive to get something more modern. It shoots in 1080p and, to my big surprise, the build in power supply was able to last 12 hours straight without external supply. It is smal and I can easily tape it where-ever I want. With one picture taken all 5 seconds there is no shaking visible, even if I tape it straight to the casis of a bus, the picture remains very smooth.
360° Pictures
Why isn't this a thing? You shoot a picture and people can look around the whole place! ITS AMAZING! Fuck selfie with Ninni-Graniny in front of a Town sign. See the whole place! You can even upload them on google 'streetmap'!
See that tiny blue bubbles? Klick on them to see what this part of 'desert' looks like.
✅ Thats amazin! How could you not love this to look around all by yourself?!
❌ Serious cameras that make 360° pictures our of the box start at much moneyz
✅ But every modern smart phone can do that out of the boy if you take multiple pictures!
🆗 And It may looks not very professional for many reasons. You should watch an tutorial for better results
(who told you emojis would look nice on this? Grandmother whatsapp?)
Conclusion
So yeah. I will try both. Making some 360° pictures of locations that have none available, and also record the time lapse. We will see how it turns out!

march 2023 listening
been a minute but idk dude, when new music hits it hits and when it doesn't we just put on old bangers and keep it movin. here's what i've been listening to anyway
little simz no thank you im just kind of obsessed with the bigg art collectrrr silent investrrr film directrrr part on gorilla
skrillex quest for fire im a millennial ok so when skrill released an album for the first time in almost 10 years it was appointment listening for the laffs if nothing else. i mean, skrillex is good at what he does: he combines all the current production trends into something fun to listen to. quest for fire was a fun listen! i wont apologize! i like too bizarre (juked) because i love a glitchy repetitive little earworm. don't get too close was thoroughly unnecessary though.
got the beat stamp on it dont come for me, i got stockholm syndrome'd while learning the choreography
red velvet reve festival 2022 i didnt think this mini had staying power but for me 'oops we are on a ride' has become a cute younger sibling to 'fuck it we ball' whenever anything unexpected happens
zella day sunday in heaven i liked this album well enough when it came out but mushroom punch has become a top tier dishwashing karaoke track in my house
fka twigs caprisongs still 2022 aoty im not letting this one go. fuck crying over these stupid boys jobs that dont even recognize the worff in themselves, just trying to steal your youff! byye byeeeee
xg shooting star ugh i should have written a whole post about this when it came out but top to bottom im just in love with shooting star and left right. WHO is doing their styling and concept work, they are nailing it. i gushed about the styling in this comeback on my main blog so much that you're getting the dregs here but EVERY outfit in this era is fire -- it made me want to go find some 2000s frosted eyeshadow palettes fuck!! this laid-back r&b sound works for them so well i need xg world domination yesterday
soutaiseiriron tensei jingle a friend and i were swapping jpop playlists recently, tensei jingle & town age have nestled so well into my spring listening
ive kitsch i dont care if it was clearly supposed to be 90s bitch before starship bought the track!! i dont care if the rap is abysmal!! i dont speak korean i dont care if its cringey!! listen to that little cuckoo clock sample, its silly!! justice for liz tho
2023 kpop comebacks are about to hit their stride in the coming months so im hoping to have some delicious treats soon

Uuuehghhuhggh touching grass touching grass and I’m lowkey SICK OF IT I just wanna do nothing now RAGGH ok but EPINAGI CHAPTWR BROOOOOO NAGI AND CHIGIRI IM CRYING NAGIS EYE SPARKLE TOO GOODBYEEEE
U20/3rd selection yuki truly on TOP like that’s the yuki that karasus afraid of in fwtkac and pursuit ugh he’s such a gentleman Noel noa PLEASEEE PUT HIM ON THE FIELD
LMAOO THE REUNICLUS ANALYSIS it’s even better when you remember it’s a psychic type and it’s probably using that to backup its claims like “trust me im a psychic type i can read minds and I saw the future and they get married #canon”
Am I hearing that there’s potential for the first yuki fic on the miraverse…..
NO I STILL FRESH EDITS AND ANJMATIONS OF THAT SCENE it’s got everyone in a chokehold (they better throw in a juicy anime only Karasu scene SOON) wait lowk I bet that Karasu panel is gonna be animated next ep?? Since the match is definitely kicking off and I remember that being one of the Karasu “intro” panels
That’s only such a flex though like “oh yeah I’m zooming in from my horse nbd” LMAOO it’s okay the abs will forever live on via this post on your blog or maybe this is a sign to start writing and riding more /hj
- Karasu anon
AHAHAHA THAT’S SO REAL sometimes after i’ve been too busy irl i need an entire weekend to recover from it and do nothing 😭 praying you get through it all and can return to being chronically online once more /j unrelated but i’ve seen so many tik toks that i need to send someone so i’m just to link them all at the bottom KFHFHSHS
THE EPINAGI CHAPTER WAS SO GOOD AS ALWAYS fire tabieita panels + BAROU LOOKED AMAZINGGGGG OH MY GOD and yeah the nagi chigiri scene was so cute i hope people realize how genuinely nice nagi is like yeah he’s a little emotionally oblivious but he really does mean well for the most part 🙁 he was so worried abt chigiri it’s such a contrast to isagi literally SHOVING HIM TO THE GROUND in first selection (i forget if isagi knew about chigiri’s leg atp or not either way it was insane work on his part)
YESSSS THIS ERA OF YUKI IS SO PEAK truly the man of all time…the only one to make fwtkac AND pursuit karasu shudder in fear/mediocrity 😫 he’s so kind and gentle and handsome and perfect it’s insane HAHAHA like i just love him sm
HELPPP reuniclus fake prophet era??? imagine nagi’s birthday is coming up so his pokémon band together to raise money to get him a gift or smth and reuniclus just tells people’s fortunes and then uses his psychic powers to manipulate things so that what he predicted happens LMAOAOA the entire team is pulling scams and doing anything to get money until one of them (probably arcanine) realizes that can just ask reo for funds 😭
YESSSS omg wait technically yuki has an oaeu entry should i do his next 😧⁉️ it’s possible…it’s certainly possible…
YEAHHH I THINK SO that panel is like one of the first we get of him playing and considering he’s also the first of the team to get the spotlight (since he’s isagi’s main opp as well as the highest ranked besides rin/shidou) we will almost definitely get it saturday or at least i’m praying!! we’ll also get isagi calling him a villain which will def pull a chuckle out of me because he’s just silly baby tabito please 🙁 he’s not evil he’s just a loser
LMAOO abs gone but never forgotten 😭 unfortunately it was a combo of riding every day and then walking my dog for 6-8 miles daily because it was the pandemic so i had nothing else to do!! so that era will never be repeated…now i ride other people’s horses too so i leave my phone in the barn in order to be #respectful HAHA so i will have to regain them in some other way
OKAY TIK TOK PALOOZA BELOW ‼️
BAROU edit oh my god they did him so well in ep1 it’s insane
this shit lowkey converting me to itoshism…NOO who said that
nagi edit with a karasu cameo AND slandering isagi truly this was made for me
this is also cracking me up because i’m slow i didn’t realize otoya was referencing smth HAHAH just makes him even funnier
most normal pursuit tabieita interaction
THIS IS THE ONE I WANTED TO SEND THE MOST LMAOAAO it’s literally oaeu aiku and niko @ barou i’ve actually been crying at the visual of them filming this because they would (aiku would do it to go viral and get girls and niko just somehow ends up involved like usual)

Literature Analysis 324
Character Analysis, Conflict Analysis, and Thematic Analysis
I’ve been watching the debacle of controversy within the release of Hogwarts Legacy with the utmost of fascination. It stands out from other controversies in media of video games solely due to its nature. In the moral debate of consumership, I’ve seen arguments on both sides that spans the spectrum of quality. So while reading this point of view, I felt a need to comment on it. While I do think that this blog has valid concepts, Im afraid that the execution of the delivery is detrimental to those concepts. In simpler terms, there are plenty of counter points to be made.
Salazar Slytherin
The idea that Salazar Slytherin continuing reverence should be reconsidered is a valid one. In my opinion, it’s the fictional equivalent of southern states continuing to allow confederate statues to exist as public monuments. Nevertheless, theses two concepts begin to differ when we consider how conflict differs in literature as opposed to how conflict works in real life.
A life without conflict is ideal, yet a story without conflict loses engagement with readers to the point where some of them wouldn’t even consider such a work a story. Every cast of protagonist needs a cast of antagonists.
Salazar Slytherin serves the story well because the story puts Salazar in a villainous spotlight. Potential readers observe the wizarding world through Harry’s eyes and come to the conclusion of “Not Slytherin.” Slytherin then becomes comparative to the dark side of George Lucas’ Force because it and Malfoy are a dark reflection of what Harry Potter could have turned into. Salazar acts as an origin story of the counter pose idea of exclusivity to pure bloods that Harry and friends fight against.
And that’s where I’m finding issues with the execution of this argument. J. K. Rowling paints Salazar and a majority of House Slytherin as antagonists. Everyone is admitting that the wizard world is imperfect, including the author.
Myrtle Warren
Attempting to victimize Myrtle to the degree done here kinda comes off as silly when someone could argue certain statements about people forgetting about Myrtle. Moaning Myrtle would let anyone who passed her washroom forget about her existence. Imagine if you went to highschool and the girls there had one less stall because a girl constantly floods it in a hourly emotional tantrum. That girl would be socially ostracized by everyone because all the girls would hate her for limiting washroom options. Her only interaction would be with the kids who are hiding in that washroom for drug purposes, but those druggies don’t see her as a person, just a… whatever the life equivalent is for a plot device.
In truth, that’s what Moaning Myrtle is: a plot device. She mainly exists in the story to aid it in moving along. The trio need a place to brew poly juice; let’s do it in Moaning Myrtle’s Washroom. The last time that the chamber was open, a girl died in a washroom; hmmm, I wonder if she is friends with Moaning Myrtle? Man I can’t seem to figure out this egg riddle and would really appreciate if someone gave me the exact answer; oh hi creepy 60-year-old ghost who spies on underage bathing boys.
Personally, trying to make me sad about Moaning Myrtle is pointless because she’s not a character in my eyes. Strip away her usefulness to the plot, and all you’re left with is a caricature of a sad lonely socially awkward girl with seemingly no redeeming qualities. She had the chance to out her assailant by returning as a ghost, but she couldn’t because she was too busy feeling sorry for herself. I imagine that went she became a ghost, a staff member asked her what happened, to which she gave the same vague answer that she gave Potter half a century later: “I don’t know. Wah!” Cut to a montage of Filch mopping the washroom for years and awkwardly developing a weird friendship with Myrtle set to “Happy Together” by The Turtles until the main character can solve this stone cold case.
Spells over Sensibility
While it is true that Hogwarts would have fail an audit because of a basilisk, Hogwarts would have failed that audit even if Salazar kept his serpent out of the girls bathroom.
Quidditch could easily be deem unsafe by the Karens because if Little Leonard got knocked off his broomstick by a bludger, he be sent hurtling towards the ground.
The tri wizard tournament would be outlawed.
The restricted section of the library wouldn’t match up with checkout records because students can bypass them
Buckbeak should’ve been put down.
A legitimate case for discontinuing Remus’ acceptance in the school becomes valid.
Harris should be punished for having Cerberus.
Myrtle should be charged with sexual harassment.
Numerous girls should be charged for attempted drugging with a love potion.
Harry and Ron drugged Crabb and Goyle with a sleeping potion, then committed identity theft.
Highly questionable detention sessions; such as hunting spooks with Hagrid or ‘I shall not tell lies’.
Lockhart overachieving charges beyond plagiarism and copyright. 
McGonagall gifting Harry the Nimbus 2000 is a major conflict of interest.
I’m pretty sure that the shifting staircases are a major osha violation.
The Whomping Willow has got to go.
Arthur Weasley flying car most likely wasn’t up to safety inspection.
Now that I think about it, that candy that made steam come out of kids ears might be a safety/health violation, as the steam could cause severe internal ear inflammation and loss of hearing.
Countless cases of students fighting and assaulting each other with magic to the point that Dumbledore should consider himself lucky that a mass school Arvada Kedrava hasn’t happened… that I know of.
As you can see, it’s extremely easy to pick out the impracticality of Hogwarts setting. However if readers wanted sense and sensibility, then they should have gone to Jane Austin.
Hogwarts’ staff needed to be negligent in to an unhealthy degree for the sake of the story. Without such negligence, the story couldn’t have happened because Harry Potter and the gang couldn’t get into the shenanigans that they did, nor would certain staples of the franchise be present.
Conclusion
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter drew many in because it had a sense of fantastical adventure within a magical school setting. It also attracted a fandom because the main cast of the protagonist created an atmosphere where readers could dream of having friends in a wizard school setting. As a story it also incorporated
If the Anti Hogwarts Legacy group wanted to make a more compelling argument, first they would begin to refer to the title of the game as PigPimples’ Inheritance, but more importantly they would look to highlight the flaws in the cast that Rowling writes in a positive light.
Go after Godric Gryffindor and how he subconsciously excludes the gnome in the whole sword debacle.
Rant about how his ideals encourages the rule-breaking recklessness that sees it students earning more disciplinary punishment, then counter with how bias favoritism wins them house cups.
Reason that an inherent sense in of self righteousness has led to the Marauders bullying Severus.
Highlight how the house system ties into the philosophy of the four humors and how Rowling is placing choleric personalities on an unhealthy pedestal while casting undeserving shade on phlegmatic personalities.
Nevertheless, I would argue that the best move that the anti JK Rowling movement can do is to actually boycott her franchise all together. Not just in what media they purchase, but what media they talk about. Honestly, it might have been better if it didn’t write this lecture, as now HBO Max might try to create a sitcom of Filch and Mytle.
Hogwarts is only an amazing place when you don't pay attention to system and how they maintain Status Quo of it.
Something that horrifies me about Hogwarts is how it reveres Salazar Slytherin, basically he is a pure-blood supremacist, against Half-bloods, against Muggles, a genocidal man who, upon leaving Hogwarts, creates a chamber to murder students. Even though he left Hogwarts precisely because his ideals were not aligned with what the other founders believed, Hogwarts deliberately still holds him as one of the founders, reveres him and lets a house systematically select students who would please Salazar Slytherin.
And even if JK Rowling tries to claim that Salazar Slytherin's "legacy" has been erased and that there are good students in this house, that doesn't change the house's historic legacy, nor its stigma. Want to see how not?
Think Myrtle Warren!
She was an innocent girl, a student, who was MURDERED by the monster left behind by Salazar Slytherin!
The poor girl was forgotten, left to stay in a bathroom no longer frequented. Alone and without anyone knowing the real circumstances of her death. There is no memorial, no one talks about her and her terrible death in history class, nothing.
Hogwarts does not revere her dead, victims of GENOCIDAL ATTACK, but reveres the GENOCIDA. Myrtle is ostracized, oblivion, forgetfulness, neglect, no one speaks or knows anything about her and the terrible situation that led to her death, while Salazar and his legacy remain.
The innocent, the victim, is forgotten. But the founder whose ideologies led to her death is remembered as a great man worthy of occupying the same legacy space as the other founders.
Hogwarts doesn't know how to deal with its own history, when something bad happens they choose to "not talk about it" (they don't talk about Salazar Slytherin's evil, they don't talk about who Tom Riddle was, and they don't mention Voldemort's name).
It is simply frightening how Hogwarts allows the legacy of Slytherin to go on, when the victims directly affected by this evil legacy are not even remembered.
In a school attack, Hogwarts chooses to forget about the victim, and pretend that Slytherin had nothing to do with it. Hogwarts covers up the real culprit; Salazar Slytherin. Worse, Hogwarts lets an entire Common House exist in his honor and legacy.
Hogwarts deliberately pretends that, while there is a Sorting Hat systematically choosing students who would "please Salazar", they pretend to bear no responsibility should those students come to repeat their founder's ideals.
What sensible school thinks it's coherent to keep a genocidal and supremacist as "one of its honorable founders"?
Any sensible school would have removed such a house from selection possibilities. Especially because if he left precisely because his ideals were not aligned with the school, then why maintain a house that systematically selects the students he likes?
Hogwarts doesn't keep the founder, but it keeps his legacy. This is evil.
And when one of the students "to Salazar's liking" does something shit "Hogwarts simply pretends that this is an isolated and individual issue", as if it had nothing to do with the socio-historical and cultural legacy that the houses and their founders permeate in the student members.
And in general, Hogwarts houses are like Caste System. Students are deliberately chosen based on personality traits, where they will stand solely and exclusively with those who think like them!
Hogwarts does not teach about diversity and living with diversity. Its taught that you should team up with those who think like you and that you should maintain a rivalry with those who are different.
That's how Hogwarts houses work!!
That's why people ask first about which house you want to be in, instead of trying to get to know you for who you are, they prefer the stigma that will accompany you according to your house.
And remember, just one example: it was with a question about Caste, I mean "House", what the whole rivalry between Severus and James Potter began. In addition to them, there are several other examples of rivalry and unnecessary Bullying caused exclusively by House System.
And does Hogwarts really think its system is beneficial to its students?
When I was a kid loved Hogwarts, after I grew up and realized its cruel system, I can't admire it anymore.
We are told that there is no better place, that Hogwarts is like home. And most believe that, and think it's beautiful.
Hogwarts is only a safe place if you already live in an unstable, abusive and scary home (like Harry). So that makes Hogwarts look like heaven.
Otherwise, there is nothing safe or respectful about Hogwarts when students are killed there, and there isn't even a memorial to them. Poor Myrtle, poor Cedric.
It is easy to say that it is the safest place in the world when you choose to erase from history the events of insecurity and the calamity of having, among its founders, a supremacist and murderer.
One that even though he left the place, still influenced all the others who decided to follow his ideologies. And why wouldn't they? When the school displays him, on an equal honor with the other founders. As if he was worthy of such.
If Hogwarts had been REALLY concerned about no repeating history, haved nipped it in the bud.
But Hogwarts is negligent.
