#bit of a throwback for anniversary time!

[kneworder]

i have all these draft documents of half finished fics full of lines i love but that are so fundamentally flawed i can't figure out how to finish them and can't kill my darlings mercilessly enough to get past the roadblocks so i just reread them over and over and think damn this is kinda fire. wish it was anywhere near shareable.

• someone on weibo mentioning that xz took the legend of zanghai cast to eat at a restaurant in hengdian where there are many bjyx photos on the wall. these were placed by cp fans who frequented that place. treat this as a fake rumor. lol.

• Hello to trunk weibo account who posted their GQ spreads! Oh yes! Bad boys HAHAHAHAHA! i am still hoping that their bazaar untamed spread will have a physical copy someday.

• YBO used a chongqing dialect expression in a video

• a bit of clowing with the snowy mountain drawing and how it’s a possible foreshadowing to bobo’s mountain episode in exploring the unknown

• georges hobeika wedding clothes match

• not really cpn but fandom is happy that cql was included in yibo’s 10 year anniversary poster there were also some noted similarities in editing from the video they posted to how xzs does it, but at this point it’s already a pattern lol. personally, what i’m eating is that CQL was 23rd on the list of works, which is ai zan ( love zhan ).

Do timelords celebrate theirs birthday? (Loomsday? XD Regenerationday?)

Do Time Lords celebrate their birthday?

Well, sort of. Time Lords don’t really have a birthday in the conventional sense, but there is something they do celebrate...

🏷️Name-Day!

Instead of a birthday, Time Lords observe their Name-Day, which celebrates the anniversary of receiving their name, which usually happens on the day they're loomed/birthed.

However, before you start digging out that tried and tested witch's costume for the fancy dress birthday party, you should know that this day is usually celebrated low-key, just with small gifts and treats. It’s a meaningful personal tradition, but not something they throw a huge party for.

✨Regeneration Day

Now, as for Regeneration Day—well, that’s a bit of a question mark. Some might like to mark the day they regenerated, but would you really want to celebrate the anniversary of your 5th incarnation dying in that terrible rogue pressing plant? Or maybe that one time you had a super embarrassing death?

Who knows, but it's safe to say that for most Time Lords, it doesn't appear to be a highlight of the calendar.

🏫So ...

So yes, they sort of have birthdays, but not quite as enthusiastically as humans. And considering just how many Name-Days they'll have over their long life, maybe that's fair enough.

I follow you for your Israel and Jewish posts, and honestly I've no idea about anything Mileapo but it always makes me happy to see you posting about them because it means you got a fun little break from the hard shit

Awwwww, thank you so much, lovely Nonnie!

First, for following me. Second, for being so kind, and caring about me getting a bit of fun as well.

I'll just say Mileapo seem to be (on top of handsome and talented) genuinely kind. It's in little things like the way fans caught on film Mile behind the scenes, thanking the security staff at one of their events. People usually talk about how kind stars are with their fans, but I liked that he was kind with some of the people who are usually invisible, the ones who are not fans, nor fellow actors, or in the entertainment business at all, staff Mile might never see again in any other event, people who he's not likely to benefit from in any way after that specific event is over, but he took the time to acknowledge and thank them. Just being reminded of kindness is always beautiful to me, and extra needed during these times. From what I've heard about Apo, he's got social anxiety and is more socially reserved than Mile around strangers, but is equally as kind with everyone.

So yes, I do still follow them, even if I don't post about them daily like I used to. It means a lot that someone who doesn't know them, still cares about my well being enough to be happy over my Mileapo posts. It's like a circle of kindness, and that feels like a blessing, so again, thank you! And I hope you're also taking care of yourself, and making sure to find little comforts where you can find them! *hugs*

And just because, here's some Mileapo stuff anyway, just so we can have their pretty (and kind) faces included. ^u^ First, a reminder that this is how they look and smile at each other:

Second, the other day Apo shared a video on IG from his bday party back in February. Mile commented this -

And while it's def meant to come across as him teasing Apo, as if he's celebrating his 3rd bday anniversary, because he's such a joyful kid, I couldn't help notice that it's also 3 years since the first time they got to celebrate their bdays together. Coincidence? Maybe. Three is a typological number, so it's possible that when Mile wanted to throw out a random small age, it just happened to be 3. But this "anniversary" of them re-meeting and getting to do this together might have been somewhere in the back of his mind, too.

Speaking of things I have only guesses about, the other day Mile might have flown somewhere, possibly as part of a job for Guerlain. He posted to his IG story a pic from the airport, and added the bee emoji (bee is Guerlain's symbol, Mile's used this emoji before when posting about jobs he was doing for this company). Did he fly out, where to, or is this just a random throwback pic from a previous trip for Guerlain? IDK. But the very next day, Mile shared the song, "Ain't No Sunshine" (which goes, "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone"). We know that Mile and Apo have repeatedly used the moon symbol for Mile, and the sun for Apo, going all the way back to February 2021. So, it might be Mile missing Apo on main. Wouldn't be the first time.

Which reminded me of the last time when we know for sure Mile went away for a Guerlain event, in Malaysia. Mile wore a bee pin on his jacket, and performed "Nothing's Going to Change My Love for You." On the same day, Apo posted to his IG stories a black screen, with the exact same song playing as the soudtrack.

Yeah, I think music is def a part of their love language, and that day proves it beyond any doubt (whether we think that this love is romantic or platonic).

Third. Recently Mileapo went on a trip to New Zealand to film a Taiwanese variety show (and possibly do a Dior photoshoot while there as well). On the flight there, Apo was taking a pic with a Hong Kong celeb he's friends with, and in it, he was seen wearing a silver ring. In the past, this ring was identified as very likely Mile's, when Apo wore it for his own bday celebration in Feb 2023.

We also got this pic from the New Zealand trip. Beyond the fact that Mile's hand under Apo's jacket is doing things to me, that specific piece is the pink Dior jacket that fans suspect Mile bought for Apo ahead of the BOC Japan trip (where Apo was first seen wearing it), because Mile was caught on film talking to a sales lady right after Apo called him over to show him the jacket. So, did Apo fly to New Zealand with a ring and a jacket he got from Mile? IDK, but it's def a nice thought, and a reminder of how intertwined they are.

Meanwhile, Apo liked this fan art of Mileapo in the above pic:

And since I started this with how they look at each other, I'll end there as well. This is from the recent Vogue gala, mid interview. They're professionals, they know where the camera is, they know they're supposed to look there, and yet...

Hope people enjoy this! Never stop spreading joy and kindness, wherever you can. xoxox

『Wakana 5th Anniversary “Prologue” ～Premium Online Live～』 Commentary

An exclusive streaming event was held for fan club members to celebrate Wakana’s 5th anniversary as a solo artist. She was joined by Hirotaka Sakurada on piano. Instagram post by Wakana | Tweet by Wakana

���Event details “Wakana 5th Anniversary “Prologue” ~Premium Online Live~” Date: February 6, 2024 Time: 18:30~ Starring: Wakana, Hirotaka Sakurada (Piano)

Live Commentary Ohhhh, what a lovely throwback to see Wakana in her 1st album dress. She looks beautiful😍

1.揺れる春 (Yureru Haru): Surprised by how much I like Wakana's high notes here. Usually I am not a huge fan. Very solid performance. 2.翼 (Tsubasa): Saku-chan's piano arrangement is lovely and Wakana is slaying as she always does with this song. MC: Pleasantly surprised to see her taking a longer break to talk to us. I feared this would be a somewhat rushed event with just a couple songs being performed. She is even reading through some of the comments. 3.愛の花 (Ai no Hana): *sobs* So happy to hear this again. It's one of my all-time favourites. Wa's voice was a bit shaky but she knocked it out of the park at the end. The oooh part killed me. Goosebumps all over. 4.アキノサクラ (Aki no Sakura): Hearing it live always makes me appreciate the song a bit more. Very nice! MC 5.オレンジ (Orange): The bridge was absolutely perfect. MC: Yay, we are gettng a Kalafina cover, honestly did not expect that. Wakana says she has a lot of fond memories of the recording when the three of them and Saku-chan all got together at the studio to record their parts. 6. 春を待つ (Haru wo Matsu): Waahhhh, this was even better than her performance from the "magic moment" live 7.標 (Shirushi): Always beautiful, especially in such an intimate setting. Her vocals are flawless here. MC: Now I need to get back to work so I can't continue watching. Will have to get back to this later. Thank God we are getting an archived version.TBC~ 8.金木犀 (Kinmokusei): First "Ai no Hana" and now "Kinmokusei"! Two of my faves. Unfortunately, this performance is a bit too shaky for me T_T Probably the weakest of this event, at least in my opinion. 9.Flag: Awwww, it's not a Wakana live without her screwing up some lyrics XD She handles it well though. She always sounds so epic at the end of this song. MC 10.magic moment: Never been a big fan of the song but this is a precious performance. The way she just couldn't figure out that final line and had to give it two tries. Poor baby!! She's so embarrassed. MC 11.そのさきへ (Sono Saki e): I kinda wish she had performed Toki wo Koeru Yoru ni (時を越える夜に) instead of this but oh well.

『Wakana 5th Anniversary Live』 Announced!

To commemorate the 5th Anniversary of Wakana's solo debut, a special band live will be held for the first time in 3 years! Once again, Wakana will be joined by Satoshi Takebe to deliver a unique live performance together with other musicians. Please look forward to it!

Title: “Wakana 5th Anniversary Live (tentative)” Date: May 12, 2024 Venue: I'M A SHOW (capacity: 398 seats) Starring: Wakana, Satoshi Takebe (Music Director/Piano), etc.

💫Stargazer Lilies, Motherfucker!💫

go forth, be merry and enjoy your fucking flowers!

posting day for Theme 23 is next Sunday July 16th! as always don't forget to tag @gallacrafts and use the tags #gallacrafts #theme 23 and #stargazer lilies motherfucker

💫

Read on for the Gallacrafts Anniversary project reveal!

A big shout-out and ✨THANK YOU✨ to all the artists who participated in Theme 21: Throwback Theme 2 in May!

The Gallacrafts Anniversary Shop is now open on Zazzle with all the May crafts on a variety of products so we can have our crafts not just on our screens and in our hearts but IN OUR HANDS AND IN OUR HOMES🤗

❓Some FAQ❓

Who made all this? 🎨All the crafts used in the shop came from the amazing artists who participated in May's theme, "Throwback Theme 2"/Gallacrafts Second Anniversary Project and were used in the shop with permission. The biggest thank you to those creators! @depressedstressedlemonzest @ian-galagher @tsuga-of-mars @suzy-queued @doodlevich @michellemisfit @deedala @vintagelacerosette @lingy910y @energievie @look-i-love-u @sleepyfacetoughguy @grumble-fish and @juliakayyy

How long will the store be up?⏰ Since this is going up a bit later than I wanted, the store will stay open at least through August so there's plenty of time to snag your crafts!

What kinds of products can I get?🎁 I tried to put each craft on a few different products and make them customizable as well but if you really really want something and can't create it let me know and I can try to add it.

What if I'm not in the US?📦Zazzle has international shipping so you should be able to get your gallacrafts delivered to just about every corner of the globe! Check out their shipping policy here for more info.

Are you making money off this?💸 We really wanted this to be as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. So we're NOT trying to make any money off of these crafts. Zazzle doesn't have a 0% markup option anymore, but I did set all the crafts to their absolute minimum which is 5%. (article for transparency)

The money thing pt 2.💸 I have no idea how popular this will be or how much we might make from that little 5%. So the plan is, if it ends up being over $25 in earnings (the minimum to withdraw funds from Zazzle), I'll donate the proceeds on behalf of gallacrafts/ our little fandom to the Trevor Project or a similar non-profit

[so-sick-of-17]

Throwback to the time in August when there was a bit of a Goncharov revival and I made my friend get a tumblr for it. Anyway happy 50th anniversary to the best mafia movie ever made! And the best queer coded movie ever!

[gascon-en-exil]

I’ve seen you mention Octopath Traveler 2 quite a few times; would you say it’s one of your favorite games? And would you recommend it to people who typically enjoy tactical RPGs, such as Fire Emblem?

Seeing you talk about it so much and going to the lengths to write fanfic for it makes me think it’s worth playing and giving a try.

I would say it's a criminally underrated game for sure, receiving very little attention when it came out last year and now mostly faded into the background of its more commercially successful predecessor. The first Octopath Travler is a fine game in its own right, but the second improves on it in just about every measurable way. I'm actually planning on putting together an in-depth video on OT2 for my channel early next year, to roughly coincide with the game's two-year anniversary. I was originally going to do it in December, but I've had to make some adjustments.

Compared to Fire Emblem, the Octopath games are standard turn-based JRPGs with combat and core gameplay that's known for being a fun and fairly engaging throwback to classics of that genre, ex. the older Final Fantasy titles. In terms of setting the first game will be more familiar to FE fans because it's the standard pseudo-medieval setup, but OT2 advances the timeline to roughly the 19th century which makes it a bit more interesting in my opinion (even if it's not the most consistent...there are steam engines and industrialized cities, but no firearms). How Octopath handles story is divisive, but it helps if you think of the games less as individual narratives and more as a choice of eight mostly separate stories with interwoven elements, with OT2 also handling the story combinations a bit better overall. Each story has its own tone and sometimes genre differences, so while you're unlikely to enjoy them all there are almost certainly going to be a few that catch your attention. The games are also pretty nonlinear on the macro level because you can progress along the eight stories + all the extra content in almost any way you like. I'm pretty sure both games still have demos up on the Switch if you just wanted to get a feel for them.

Additionally, OT2 has more interaction between the travelers, and is fairly gayer on the whole which is what's gotten me to crank out 130K+ words and counting about the torrid romance of a murder hobo math professor (he gets better) and a socialist cowboy (who is technically neither a socialist nor a cowboy) with two dads that get divorced and then get back together.

Aww, in-game family portrait. Not an entirely complete one, though...but game mechanics don't allow for that and also that would be going into spoiler territory.

Throwback Video

This weekend mark the 30th anniversary of John Waters Serial Mom. Probably the most like a mainstream comedy he ever made.

I actually got to watch them film some of this movie since the house where she pushes the AC on someone was filmed in my neighborhood growing up. It was cool we used to just go after dinner and watch them for a bit. So everything in that house I was like watching way off camera. Anyone who lived in that house I would tell about that every time I trick or treated that house til I stopped doing that.

Anyway good times I should really watch it again soon.

[alexhandersenblog]

I can't get over the fact that he's the type for couple outifts. I would never have thought so. Massive turn off. Everything they display seems off. They wear the same clothes all the time, matching clothes and now it looks like it's literally the same blazer. Like twins. You can still have your own personality, can't you?

Yeah… With those outfits, i have a feeling that they want to join the ‘Victoria and David Beckham hype’ or trying to recreated the same vibe as a - both famous - ‘power couple’ (given the success of the docu and the return of the 90s & 00s).

I’m surprised they haven’t recreated the dance yet. Chances are it’s already on their camera roll somewhere, just waiting for the perfect ‘throwback moment’; ‘happy anniversary’ post or maybe it’s for the ‘this was 2023 post’…

But maybe i’m reading to much into it 🫣😂 it’s just the vibe that’s a bit off. To me it feels so unnecessary all that unspontaneous and pressured posts. Again doing things, he said, wasn’t really a fan of… but then again people change and that’s okay i guess.

I didn't know so many people liked Whiplash so much that it's getting a 10-year anniversary re-release in theaters next weekend. I'm just like really, that movie? I'm that way with other movies too, especially other stuff I watched in my late teens through about mid-30's or so? Where I remember reading pans, talking to people who didn't like a movie and then like 10/20 years go by and people are like "oh, that's a classic." I'm just like what?

But then I have to remember that, everyone has different taste and more importantly as I continue getting older, one must be open to the idea of nostalgia glasses just widening the classics library.

Also, there could worse movies that get re-release, I'm like 85% certain that I mostly liked Whiplash, like uhhh, just glancing at the America movies of 2014 wiki page, here are a few movies that I really didn't like from that year:

Interstellar

Dumb and Dumber To

Inherent Vice (thankfully I did NOT see this in a theater)

And here are a few I liked:

They came together (which I saw again a couple months ago and am tempted to see again at the downtown LA Alamo, they're showing it AGAIN, yay!)

the Grand Budapest Hotel

Obvious Child

Love is Strange

the Guest

the Skeleton Twins

Selma

also x 3, I remember thinking Cap America Winter Soldier was just okay, I think some of that was a pre-bias going into it where film critics AND movie friends I knew were like saying the movie was like a 70's thriller and to me it wasn't. Just because the movie had some mild intrigue and Robert Redford was in it doesn't make it a throwback 70's thriller. Like ugh, that irked and still irks me today lol but I liked it fine enough!

John Wick 1 and Guardians 1 are just okay too. I feel like the John Wick movies work better in YouTube clips of the two I've seen. I think both movies ended with him on the run, I'm not sure. I know Guardians had a totally intentionally hokey ending to it and my cold heart just shrugged lol but I did enjoy 3 quite a bit. Didn't care for 2 either.

Dawn of the Apes was alright, I know I really liked Boyhood a lot back then. I saw Dawn in theaters but pretty sure not Boyhood. I mostly remember the ending kind of being a non-traditional ending, bits and pieces of the rest. That's one I can't imagine wanting to ever see again. Maybe if I had been ten years younger or so, that'd be my Linklater hang out movie.

Looking back at the wiki page, I just realized that my dad had spent nearly a decade trying to get me to see Jersey Boys but I kept putting it off. He really liked it A LOT. I was/am just a rebellious prick and kept avoiding it because I had/have the cliched version in my head already. It's weird because I like the songs but yeah, at some point in honor of his memory I should finally see it. (I didn't know it was a 2014 movie, time flies. yeesh).

Leads me to point out other 2014 movies I'd check out:

God's Pocket, A Most Wanted Man, Expendables 3, Gone Girl, Birdman, Nightcrawler, Laggies, Foxcatcher, Top Five, Big Eyes, Into the Woods, and I haven't seen any of the Night at the Museum movies and they're probably okay.

TBT Anniversary: Catwoman & Think Like A Man

Welcome backward, Ticketholders!

This week's Throwback Thursday push looks back at the first Yahoo! Groups review I ever did with the title changed from SWAT Ticket to SW@ Ticket, which was the Halle Berry litterbox fire, C@woman, co-starring Benjamin Br@t.

And because I couldn't just re-post an old review (not th@ it's stopping me now), I threw in a Critical Quickie of the average self-help comedy, Think Like A Man, and a bit of my own absurdist comedy th@, for various reasons (like referencing the Weinstein Company, agreeing with Louis CK, and hoping Think Like A Man, Too and a Clifford the Big Red Dog movie wouldn't get made) didn't age well. But @ least I predicted th@ Disney would get taken over by cockroaches and buy half of the entertainment companies on Earth, so...yay‽

C@woman: F

Think Like A Man: C

Enjoy!

Do Gallifreyans have parties? It seems like most of the time that if it isn’t intellectually stimulating or relevant that it doesn’t matter to most people, so parties seem like something they wouldn’t be interested in unless it’s one where they just have a philosophical debate the whole time. If they do have parties though, when? And what happens at these parties?

Do Gallifreyans have parties?

While their idea of a party might differ from what most people are used to, they have celebrations and traditions that bring a sense of togetherness.

🎉 Otherstide

One of the biggest celebrations on Gallifrey is Otherstide, a holiday that marks a time of renewal and reflection. Gallifreyans tend to have 'work-dos' in the build-up to this holiday, which are just dinners. During it, Gallifreyans stay in their Houses, spending the evening feasting and exchanging gifts with their Cousins. The highlight of Otherstide is the 'Mystery of the New Time', a puppet show performed with massive mechanical puppets.

🍽️ Feasts and Festivals

Gallifreyans have a lot of holidays classified as Feast Days, such as the Feast of Rassilon, Rassilon's Flag Day, and Harrenenmas. These are times when Gallifreyans probably have large meals, enjoying special foods like Karmine pudding, Dactyl Eggs, Gallifreyan pizza, and the famous Flan of Omega.

Even though these celebrations seem more subdued than human parties, they allow Gallifreyans to come together, enjoy non-synthesised food, and maybe share stories or debate philosophical topics. So, in a way, their feasts could be considered a form of partying—just with a more intellectual twist.

🎓 Student Parties

It's also worth mentioning that Gallifreyan students seem to better understand what most would consider a typical party. Koschei (the Master) once threw a not-so-great end-of-term party for the Doctor, suggesting that, at least among the teenagers, there's some attempt at the kind of celebrations we're familiar with.

🎁 Name-Days

Gallifreyans don't really celebrate birthdays like humans do, but they do have Name-days. On the anniversary of a Gallifreyan's name day, there are some presents, and there might be treats or small celebrations, similar to a low-key birthday party.

🏫 So...

So their idea of a party is a bit different. They may not be ragers, but they know how to enjoy a good feast. Gallifreyan parties are more likely to involve discussions, food, and a sense of tradition rather than wild dancing or loud music.

This are fun throwback 80's Crossover Thrash & a bit of Speed Metal

Over the top and in your face lyrics from lead singer Tony Foresta, guitarists Ryan Waste and Nick Poulos, drummer Dave Witte and bassist LandPhil Hall, the band preserve its signature sound.

Reminds me of Nuclear Asualt, Overkill and Early Anthrax days of metal

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the weekend!

Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?

First of all, many thanks to everyone that got involved with Throwback Thursday on my page. Yesterday’s word was CHEESE and the responses were both mouth-watering and a bit cheesy!

It was The Trouble’s birthday on Sunday and delivery firms were still delivering presents to her on Thursday. There’s a stash of unopened presents in my study because she has to go to work every day; she hasn’t even had time to open them! She is loved by so many! Not for no reason. As I said a few days ago, down the many years, she has really given her family and friends a lot of her time and, most importantly of all, asked for nothing in return. To give selflessly is such a special quality and so few people possess it. I never forget people that have given to me selflessly. Even if we no longer talk, I never forget.

Okay, don’t judge me – I know you do anyway – but I am fully subscribed to the Ann Summers website. Why? Down the years, I’ve purchased all sorts of naughty stag night, hen night, wedding anniversary presents. Most people act like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouth! Try to talk to them about certain subjects and they’re like, “Ooh, no, I don’t do that!” Well, while some people are being all shy and prudey, go to a site like Ann Summers, check out their new toys and see what some people are doing in the privacy of their bedrooms! Yes, some very normal and very ordinary couples are going there and … as it were … going in! And, I say, “Good on them!” I’m a huge fan of love, but love with physical intimacy is a very lonely place!

The Trouble and the niece went to see the film ‘Chevalier’, based on the true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, who rises to heights in French society as a composer before an ill-fated love affair. Fascinating but sad and depressing, they said. Seems like there are many black classical composers that have been whitewashed out of history. And numerous scholars believe that Beethoven was a moor!

As I worked hard Monday through Thursday, Friday will be a relatively chilled day. Please let there be some sunshine! I finally have time to go for a walk!

Really hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’: The Letter N (Pt. 2). Doing The Letter N (Pt. 3) live from Summer Soulstice on Saturday, June 24th.

Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?
