HELLO ALL

TLDR

No reblogging from the blog this year - posting prompts tomorrow the 31st

For the past few years I've very much struggled with reblogging everyone's activity in the tag. So this year I will not be doing so.

(OR maybe I will? I just don't want to commit)

Even if I knew how to make a bot that reblogs - a lot of people still use the unique tag to tag outside challenges. So I've always had to hand submit. However it became too stressful for me and for the past few years I ended up avoiding it until later weeks or even months.

If you noticed I didn't finish reblogging last year so- I've just given up on that.

Honestly I've struggled a lot with depression for the last 7 years or so. It's been harder and harder to find my way back to tumblr. It doesn't help that my phone can barely handle the amount of apps it already has.

My main account @puff-pink hardly ever updates because of my big sad. And I don't know if I'll ever get back on the horse in the same way I did before.

Some of you know me as an artist, and tho I still churn out subpar art for my day-job I've struggled a lot to make art for myself during my depression. Partially because one year I overworked my hand - and still deal in continual wrist aches. Even the weeks I don't pick up a drawing tool.

I intended this challenge for myself and maybe the small fandoms I was in at the time. But it took off among writers and creators of all types across all fandoms.

One year I even tried to tally the most popular fandoms but there were honestly too many to keep track of- and I stopped after the first three pages of submissions.

I don't claim to have invented the concept of FemSlash February. Before I started the prompts I swear I had heard the phrase somewhere. Tho not sure where. Perhaps it had been amongst my friends on Skype. Back when I had online friends and Skype(I'm still not sold on Discord🤷‍♀️).

However that January I thought it would be fun to partake in a challenge of some kind. But scouring tumblr and the general internet. I could only find half hearted efforts on fanfiction sites from years past.

I'm so proud of all my Sapphic creators on here that have partaken every year. Even if I've never shown favoritism or awarded anyone. I do notice those that actually complete the challenge AND those that keep coming back each year(looking at you H20 writer(I don't remember your username but there's a mermaid writer that's a writing machine)). I truly am proud of you especially in my shriveled state of creativity. Thank you for your efforts. For your hype. And for your love of women of all kinds across all the universes.

Each year I'm surprised to find even more categories I never thought to include. From mood boards, to doll photography, to ofc the classic art and writing. May your pencils forever be in union with your sister mediums.

On that note. There is a strict NO AI GENERATED ART or writing this year.

Not that I could physically stop anyone who does use AI. But I do not want that sort of thing associated with this challenge. It's become scarily good in 2023 to the point it can't always be identified. So I simply ask for the honor system when it comes to AI generated creations.

That being said. If you've made it to the end of this post:

Prompts will be posted tomorrow.

I usually prefer to give yall more of a buffer, but I've been busy. Both with Big Sad, rescuing some feral cats, my own life, errands, chores and work.

If you're still here- here is a preview of the first three days.

FEB 1 - black

FEB 2 - spring

FEB 3 - cake

The 14th as usual will be some sort of Valentine romance type theme(haven't decided specifically yet) and as always there will be a Rest Day.

Expect some repeat prompts. In the past I tried to avoid them but idc anymore.

It's also a Leap Year this year so expect one extra prompt to throw off the symmetry of what's normally 28 days.

Thanks for coming back this year. And thank you to those that still check on this blog.

Keep loving girls

I have never been into a video game during its hype before bg3, but it showed me it was for a reason. I love the game but hate the way it treats to Gale and its fans. It’s like going back to high school again. This fucking game has love for everyone else but Gale and it fucking shows. We don’t get any closure for his arc, no special scenes, we don’t even know his fucking age. What we got is all the hate, mistreatment and hostility. Tbh, I was in a very bad place when I played this game for the first time and it pulled me off from there, but seeing my fav getting shit treatment not only from fandom but also the game itself was a big revelation for me. Maybe both me and Gale deserve this treatment. And idc if it’s projection or not, like other people don’t put themselves in their favs place.

Exactly! Exactly!!

I usually miss the big game hype too and show up way too late into a fandom so it's been an experience to watch the progression in real time. There's something to be said for joining a dead fandom is all I can say.

To your point about projection, this is exactly what I've been saying. This is the point I'm trying to make with my limited grasp on words. Of course we're projecting a little bit. A well-written, believable character will do that. So many of us see pieces of ourselves in Gale and it's often those pieces that are getting shit on the most. It's the "I know I talk too much, I know I'm over eager, I know I'm a burden I know I know I know!" pieces that endear him to me. The parts of myself that I hate are the parts of him that I love. I could learn to love myself, I think, through loving a character like him. Like me.

Only the other characters, the writers, the fandom remind me again and again that I'm not meant to love those annoying parts. They're meant to be ignored, to be torn away. To be fixed.

He's the annoying guy that redeems himself through his death.

How many times have I thought that about myself?

I always felt like I wanted more insight into Gale, more thoughts from his writer more discussion of the depth of this character but honestly now I'm not so sure lol. Although I'd love to get a word on his age though lmao. (I'm still gonna hc him at least in his late 30s though they can't take that away from me fjshsidjdhsis)

tldr here - it was very short qa, only 30 mins no questions. norman and melissa hung out and took selfies and signed stuff with as many people as possible before security wrapped it up. neither stopped when the came out the back to their cars.

what do you want to know? you don't have to post this / you can repost it under a cut for spoilers, idc.

pros: most scene time in the first ep is of carol, who's dry wit i missed but is totally back. i like the new character, avi. beautiful scenery, love that it's supposed to be maine. the crowd cheered for carol / melissa, there wasn't like favoritism towards norman / daryl in terms of reactions. fans of all ages / genders / etc.

cons: same character development. she meets someone, she puts on a facade. i was so frustrated carol didn't just tell the truth. i didn't watch the first season out of spite but daryl's scenes.....i really felt like i was watching, like, harry potter and the walking dead. it just felt wrong.

neutral (imo-not significant but feels a little stale / like they didn't try atp): focusing on carol's loss of sophia, call backs to The Barn scene, there's a cherokee rose that symbolizes "hope."

from the qa: norman really hyped up the finale but that could just be to get people to watch. teased "bickering like an old married couple." zabel teased the photos of mel and norm shooting in paris and norman was like, "there's pictures of it on the internet" they know. when they asked melissa what she said on the radio she did an adorable bit about "i want my socks back" or something. she also implied that she's been apart of crafting where the character goes and what's important. dalton ross is very cringe, he needs everyone to know he was the guy to be at the height of the comic-con days (but he wasn't that was hardwick lol). there was a well known rick cosplayer there and people were trying to sneak photos, i think they thought he was andy fr.

plot spoilers: tldr carol befriends a guy, avi, for his plane and convinces him to fly her to france by the end of the first episode to find her daughter sophia, who was in paris with her father ed when the world ended (avi calls her out on this and everyone laughs). she plays on the loss of his son, which melissa says is "awful." i'm not positive bc i didn't watch but i think avi's place is where daryl made the radio call from to cArol but i can't be sure i could be making that up.

it was cool but also gave me this deep bit of sadness? like maybe i'm too old for this and need to move on. it was a little disorganized - they kept removing reserved seating so people kept rushing for closer seats, which left me in the middle of the front section with empty seats in either side of me? it was weird.

Thanks for the writeup! I'm really happy Melissa was so well-received. She deserves that.

Carol falling back on old habits makes me nervous because of how quickly some viewers like to demonize her (female characters are always judged more harshly than men for their flaws). I know she's desperate to get to Daryl, I love that he's her emotional drive, and I trust Melissa's performance will be nuanced, but I'll judge the writing when I get to see the scene for myself.

What is Daryl's arc in 201?

I feel like there is actually a lot of healing left to do as far as Sophia goes, so I'm glad Melissa wanted to explore that. I hope the callbacks/flashbacks with Sophia as well as with Daryl really will help Carol grow as a character. I'm confident in Melissa's storytelling abilities. She's very intuitive. Zabel on the other hand tends to put gimmicks before substance and that doesn't mesh well. If people are saying they can feel Melissa's influence in the episode, that's a good sign. AMC should keep leaning into her vision for Carol/Caryl.

my mini essay about how much i love haikyu bc i need to express it pls

oh gosh idk what’s come over me but i could not be happier honestly.

after watching the dumpster battle move in theaters last month, i feel like ive been thrown into a full fledged haikyu phase that i missed out on both in 2020 (but it’s fine i heard it was also horrid at times during this, but lowkey looked fun LOL) and when i watched it for the first time in 2021 (ik im a little late to the game… don’t remind me)

when i watched it for the first time, i obviously loved it. but it’s hitting so much harder now—how im both reading the manga from volume 1 to rewatching the series (loosely) side by side. and i rarely rewatch anime’s unless it’s casual random ep (i.e ohshc or hxh for me hehe)

something about it this time means so much more. haikyu gets me so excited, hyped, happy, and so emotional. i don’t even play volleyball, but i do love the sport! yet it makes me feel like i can fly too 😭😭 i wish i was able to witness this series during its first release (i would’ve been in middle school!!) and i feel like it would hit so hard to grow up with them and the series 🥹 but it’s okay—timing is everything. even 3 years is a while already too.

but i’m so glad to have haikyu rekindle this spirit of excitement and motivation in my life right now. the story. the characters. how they all grow and develop and improve. and the themes about teamwork, believing in yourself, passions, hard work, everything in between just reminds me and teaches me so much in my own life too. i could go on and on but this is only a mini essay after all haha. i just love it so much.

thank u furudate for creating such a masterpiece. this piece of work changed the world and so many lives. even mine. and ik this might sound corny but idc. i really do love haikyu and what it means to me. everything about it, it makes me want to live that way too—to go after my dreams and believe in myself and cultivate my passions and work hard and find a community and live my life the way i want. so simple but powerful at the same time.

it makes me sad that the manga is over and we’ll only be getting another movie (literally robbing us…. i’m still manifesting for a new season idc idc i’m in denial) but i know haikyu is always there for me whenever i need it. and look, i can rewatch it, reread it over and over again. bc the spirit of haikyu goes on forever always!! we keep on flying higher!!!

BLOG REOPENING

hewwo hewwo fellas & fuckos. winks with both eyes. i'm possibly going to slide in around here throughout the holiday season bc the writing itch be itching, so i'll provide an update on the muse list & the dynamics / threads i'd like to keep ( if y'all are also down ) from before my break.

if you would like this post if you're ( still / again / whatever ) interested in writing with me, i'd really appreciate it ! it'd let me know where to get started again ❤ i'm mainly looking for threads over meme replies, although the threads don't have to be lengthy or involved per se. inbox things just aren't doing it for me.

MUSES

UNDER RECONSIDERATION : KHIONIYA / TSARITSA ( open to all )

I wanna keep her, but I've gotta rewrite her. I've been going on pure wishfulfilment MommyTM vibes, but we need a bit more canon accuracy lmfao. Goddess/Archon of Love, yes, but I ought not ignore that she has become like a reversed tarot card :joy:

SCRAPPED : ALHAITHAM

I should be feeling this criminally autistic nerd, but I'm not. Maybe I will some day. I'm leaving him be for right now.

SCRAPPED : CAPITANO

't isn't happening. i'm not... doing what i wanna be doing with him & i also don't care so fwhoop that one's going.

ADDED : WRIOTHESLEY

No-one's surprised. Daddy came home with the milk the moment I called for him, & uh. As soon as I actually fucking play the Fontaine quests I'm sure I'll pick him up. ( I accidentally spoilered myself on his tragicTM backstory & on god this man is a king. ) ( If I fall sideways into neuvilette instead nobody laugh at me. )

KEPT : DOTTORE ( semi-selectively open to all - he's picky & that limits my options ) REGRATOR ( for select fatui threads unless smth Happens ) TARTAGLIA ( open to all ) KAEYA ( open to all ) DILUC ( open to all )

THREADS & DYNAMICS

Obviously I understand if we're not on the same page about carrying on where we left off, no hard feelings. We can start over, pick something new, slap new muses together, or do nothing it all. Issal GucciTM.

LIKE I NEVER LEFT LOL :

I'd love to pick back up where I left off with @galactia, on any & all muses, their dynamics, & also threads c:

The same goes for @bunnyshot, although I see you haven't been online in ages! Regardless, if we're ever on the timeline at the same time again you know I am down to clown. This includes your other muses.

@torrentide HOMIE. HOMIE. HOMIE. HOME BREWSKI. i am down for everything from before & more, idc what.

If @greedbent is still down to clown, I'd love to carry on with what we were brainstorming in the DMs.

Same to you, @howthesleeplesswander!! I see you writing in another fandom on the dash atm, so I get it if you're not in the vibes for what we were brainstorming in the DMs, but I'm still hype to write with you if the mood strikes you. Lmk if you're down :thumbsup: ❤

@xiielians You know idek wtf you're doing right now bc much as the dramatic chinese gaylords captivate me, I haven't indulged in the fandom + I'm waiting patiently on that novel of yours with eyes peeled—but if you wanna play with anything ( whether I know the fandom/char or not ), I'm sure I'll be game!!

@ncrthlandbank I'd love to continue what we were doing with vlad & alyos ❤ if you're down! The thread where regrator terrorizes vlad is one of my alltime faves & still lives rent-free in my head :weary: it's the only time i did him any type of justice & your no-longer-non-playable-characters are awesome.

REBOOT :

Here go all of my moots with who i never fully settled anything ( dynamic / muse / thread-wise ), but was vaguely interacting with on the dash here & there... I am down to clown with all of you, I'd love to start something be it serious or silly. Whether you wanna continue vaguely doing things here & there or you wanna plot something out, idgaf I am so down to clown i am . the whole circus. vamos lmao.

[goldensunset]

What do you think of Kairi, Xion, Naminé, and Aqua? Just general feelings, nothing too detailed if you don't want to-

like as a team, or individually?

as a team: oh how i WISH we could see it in canon. even if it were to end up borderline tokenism-y like with marvel. i would love to see the girl power squad idc i think they should hype each other up their color schemes together would be so pretty

kairi: my dearly beloved. yes the writers need to treat her better but so do the fans. she does have clearly defined character motivations and it’s weird to act like she doesn’t just bc they’re not ones that people like. she just wants stability and a home after having lost her memories and crash-landed somewhere as a toddler. she’s afraid of change but will do anything to stay with her friends in the midst of a fast-moving world because she’s lost them too many times. she’s a bit out of touch with them and sometimes clearly doesn’t know the right thing to do or say. i hope kh4 treats her kindly and gently and gives her more agency without trying to flatten her into a hashtag strong independent woman. i have high hopes for my little strawberry and wild daydreams about what i would love to see as her precise role in coming games. wrote some stuff in the tags here. i swear i thought i had more pre-written essays to draw on than that i know there’s so much i’m leaving out but i think i got the main points

xion: truly i will never be able to get over her story and especially her theme. what an incredibly well composed piece of music. honestly she and her theme were like a major factor as to me getting into this series. i’m very happy she’s alive after all that. i said a lot about her here already recently so i won’t burn myself out going into detail again. even that i feel like is a minor weak attempt at fully conveying my emotions regarding her. oh and a few more thoughts here

naminé: tbh thinking about chain of memories reduces me to a puddle but like in a bittersweet way as opposed to the pure bitterness of days. like sora’s interactions with her… their relationship even if it was brief and based on an illusion…the writing and animation and voice acting was legit so good man. i’m a wreck. nami is so beautiful and strong and horribly horribly sad but she gets overlooked… the thing is that even if she has people who love her she’s still nobody’s first choice. she doesn’t have her own place to go. she’s still lonely…

aqua: MAN she’s so interesting.. the way she’s carrying on eraqus’ legacy in both good and bad ways… the way she was corrupted after wandering a distorted world alone for a decade… the way she’s headstrong and determined and fights so hard yet can hardly make a difference as her world falls down around her… the way she’s incredibly strong and proud yet you see her once-firm core begin to shake as time passes on… not entirely related but i hope we get to see her (and the other two) (and kairi as her student!) visit the ruins of scala ad caelum bc they’re the last ones carrying on that legacy

[generalsmemories]

hi hello!

ngl I'm not the one to send asks here, but I thought I might! (I did send a request/two of them for the 1k event - in which I think I forgot to congratulate for the event as well which has been eating me alive so CONGRATS here lol)

in such a short amount of time you became one of my favorite creators, I truly love your work (I even have the fucking notifications on for your blog - call me crazy idc), whenever I get the memo you posted I immediately go read, it makes my day/week. I love you approach to making JY/IL (especially JY ofc) true to their characters, I appreciate it greatly (ngl you spoiled me there for reading content from any other writers).

as you probs noticed I prefer commenting on your posts rather than sending asks (feels less "confrontational" and more like an audience member cheering you on enthusiastically - hope it doesn't bother you, my screaming on your posts)

forgot where I was heading with all this so to wrap it up, I love love loveee your work and attitude towards it all, how maturely you write your content (f.e. I am not a fan of angst, but your angst is solved and done in such a realistic 'normal' way, it is just beautiful), it is a breath of fresh air to read. moreover I can fully relate to your unhinged side about JY - I'm very much the same, it is nice to get hyped about seeing/hearing him in any aspect (I'm totally normal about HCQ lore, I totally don't know every single possible lore detail there is to know about HCQ... yeah.. totally..) and seeing someone else also be hyped about it makes me feel good :D

also any fluff or something loving (most of your work) with Jing Yuan actually warms my heart and feeds my delusions. thought I'd let you know, because I've been pondering on sending you an ask or not, I see many people sending them so I might as well give it a try.. hah, to let you know how much I enjoy what you do ☺

ps. anxiety was choking me as I wrote all this worrying if it is too long or annoying, had to keep reminding myself authors/writers need feedback and deserve positive praise

Hi hi!!

I do see your comments and occasional reblogs of my works, and I can't tell you enough how much it makes my day to hear some of my readers thoughts about it! As you said in your last lil paragraph but a lot of us writers do really enjoy getting feedback in terms of just commenting or just keyboard smashes on our works! HSR has been the fandom whose given me most engagement on any work and tbh it's been doing wonders on my overall approach and motivatoin to write for it! (I've previously stated in a lot of other sideblogs that I usually just post and dip, but HSR fandom has really made me connect more to my readers and just post random snippets and thoughts without second guessing so that's also a huge plus-)

even though i only write jing yuan content lmfao- i'm super thankful that you enjoy my works so much, and thank you for taking the extra time to send me an ask even if it did seem intimidating - i appreciate it a lot! (sometimes words can't express enough, but i have been reading this a few times throughout my work days to have a bit of a motivation boost hehe)

i hope i can keep you entertained with my writing though in the near future as well though buddy!

[noahtally-famous]

td 2023 s2 ep1 spoilers below the cut

(okay so I have not finished s1 but I know the general gist of what happens through mutuals posts and just the td tag lmaoo. maybe later I will actually sit down and watch the whole thing, but that time is not now.)

moving onto my thoughts of s2...

AHHHHHHHH idk how else to explain it but I absolutely LOVED the episode, and honestly I have a feeling I'll love this season, simply bc everyone is so great!!

heck even ripper and chase were tolerable, like, there weren't any fart jokes or anything, it was great!

MKULIA SWEEP???? HELL FREAKING YEAH idc if it's a friendship/alliance, I'm living in my world where they're toxic yuri

Caleb getting some much-needed character development??? I'm SO here for it, and the stuff mentioned during the episode def fits the kinda vibe I have going for him, so that's even better!! (potential caleb & emma friendship??? they can bond over kittens and of caleb being emotionally mature)

also his reactions to the team choosing was gold, I can't wait to see what A-Game he's gonna bring. I'm hoping he doesn't become a version of justin--I just want him to want to be a useful teammate and person for his team/friends/competitors and want to win as well. no overly crazy 'tda justin' villanry pls?? (I mean, I won't be averse to it if it does end up happening, but it'd be cool if things changed up this time around)

CHEMMA BROKE UP THANK FRICKING GOD, our prayers have been answered!! please please PLEASE have them stay broken up

raj & wayne on the same team again!! I was not expecting that tbh, but I'm curious to see where this goes

rajbow is so adorable, like bowie not even letting chris finish before he immediately picks raj first for his team is so 🥹

ngl chase is still a dumbass but now that chemma is out of the way, I mean it affectionately, I can't bring myself to hate any of the characters and that trend isn't going to stop here. that moment when he ran at granny hatchet and bowie was like "I don't believe it, I think he's gonna make it" like that scene was insane

damien is amazing as always, no words need to be said. manifesting a final two involving him

NICHELLE. FUCKING NICHELLE. GOD I CANNOT ARTICULATE HOW MUCH I ADORE HER HERE!! saving the best for last goddammit, I love her so so so so much, omfg the way she slayed the challenge, pls I'm so hyped for her character development this season, I can't wait for the other contestants to eat their words abt her

axel trying to 'be nice' ("i'm a work in progress" yes you are but you're doing amazing) but acting like an ass to ripper is something I live for. "I'm not following you, we're running in the same direction!" LMAOOOO

the fact that priya doesn't hold any resentment toward her parents still irks me, but I still love her character and I'm excited to see what's in store for her

GRANNY HATCHET SLAYED, 'NUFF SAID

I'm still hoping for some axelle content, but I'm more than happy with the mkulia servings we got

I'm lowkey interested in scary girl's change of character. I feel like this wont be the last we see of her--will she be like an amy and swim back to the island to enact revenge? or will she be like ezekiel and live on the island in secret? or will she be a secret third thing? I sure as heck don't know but I can't wait to find out!! her parting words def seem ominous enough to imply something

speaking of, scary girl's change of character and when she talked abt how she became "normal" everyone's reactions were sending me lmaooo

bowie going "you're never right" to chase but is the one to choose chase on his team, like yes dude frrr that frenemy whiplash was wack lmaoo I love it

same with bowie choosing julia, like yes we love to see two manipulative competitive strategists banding together

on a different note, I wonder what will come of bowie and emma's friendship from s1 and how that broke apart. maybe they could rekindle it in s2? hmmm

zee and their suitcase of sodas 😭

"she's an animal" OKAY MK TONE IT DOWN (pls don't, actually pls continue doing it) YOU'RE NOT HELPING MY MKULIA CASE HERE

millie being priya's first pick >>>

"what strategy? you just stop and run, it's not rocket surgery" 😭 I used to dislike ripper, but if he continues on like this, that opinion will def change. it's only been the first episode and I already don't dislike him anymore so-

MORE MKULIA P L E A S E IM HOPING

chris is still 'tdi chris' aka the b e s t chris imo, and I'm here for it!! also chef and chris's dynamic is still spot-on

in conclusion, im so very excited for what this season will bring!! in case you didn't realize, I LOVED the first episode!

[redecoratetrees]

A’ight, help a baby clikkie out.

what are like. The top 5 essential tøp live performances/things I should see. (can be more than five idc)

combing through YouTube myself is hard, assume I’ve seen nothing but Icy. Gimme homework vids 💛 ERS intro blew my mind yesterday.

ok so this has taken me a while bc im trying to put together something comprehensive but not excessive. there this playlist that someone made that collects a ton of vessel (and a little rab) bts stuff so like tour diaries, interviews, etc. RAB the webseries is on there and RAB the webseries is rly fun if u like cute behind the scenes stuff. It's also the source of the sampled vocal on the hype, where u can hear tyler say "we're gonna rely pretty heavily on technology and energy to cover up for the fact that we're only two people." which i find cool

theres also a few tour recaps from BF era but my personal favorite is sleepers. they also did some for bandito tour.

Admittedly i dont watch a ton of interviews but the halloween one is very popular and gets referenced a lot. i also just rly like old interviews (second one is pre-josh and also has a live performance that i find rly charming)

and of course my whole thing is "guy with the excessively curated live playlists" so heres just a rundown of my favorite shows of theirs on youtube, why i like, why u shd watch (it got long, i italicized the ones i think are the most "important"):

Twenty One Pilots - Friend, Please Live @ The Battle Of The Bands 10-11-09 - as far as i know the only time theyve played it, this is the oldest video of them on youtube. this guys channel is a treasure trove for old videos.

Twenty one pilots- ode to sleep - that time they played in an apple store. total classic, i just chose ode to sleep bc its my favorite

Twenty One Pilots - Ode To Sleep Live @ The Newport Music Hall 5-27-11 - earliest show i have ever found with josh in the band! from that weird period after the og drummer left but the bassist was still there.

DRUM BATTLE: Twenty One Pilots - Groove Street Fest 2011 - 9.24.2011 - honestly i just have a personal fondness for this video. the idea that wd become the drum island, the guy in orange going ham, tyler drumming, them doing their own gear, its all very small band charming.

UG Studios session "Addict With A Pen" by Twenty One Pilots - in a word: iconic. a ridiculously emotional performance

Skeleton Bones Remain (Gunshot Intro) - twenty | one | pilots - literally just a 20 second intro but it is absolutely legendary. the british voice is named nigel he used to show up more, rip nigel (actually found a video of the intro going into OTS)

twenty one pilots: Heathens & Stressed Out (Live AMA Awards Performance 2016) - when they came out in those full face masks? iconic. twitter was blowing up, it was awesome.

twenty one pilots - Firefly Music Festival 2017 (Full Show) 1080p HD - this particular set is nothing special but its a festival set so its an hq multicam recording of a full set from blurryface era. it's got drumline josh, its got the crowdstand, its got the hamster ball, im pretty sure it has josh vs josh drum battle, all ur rly missing is the iconic (and dearly missed) old song medley, with the coolest B-stage design theyve ever had (yes cooler than bandito fight meeee)

Twenty One Pilots: Live at Lollapalooza Chicago 2019 (Full Show) - festival set for the hits but its trench now! bandito tour b-stage is also an essential tho. first leg they had the skybridge after that they walked thru the crowd.

My favorite shows that dont exist in one video are: vessel release show at basement. they played the whole record, secret show, very cool. and all of tour de columbus, which was when after BF they did a takeover tour style thing but just in columbus. I saw 2 of those and its my biggest flex to this day.

besides shows I wd also check out the MUTEMATH sessions (which i was blessed enough to see some of live! so badass!), this session where he did alt versions of some trench tunes (fought for my life to win tix. i did not win), also the video for the hype berlin is rly cute.

this got kinda lengthy with all the shows, i just love so many of them. I'd also seek out their snl performances if u feel like it, iirc they did ride, stressed out, and heathens, tyler did just the |-/ instead of the full paint on his hands it was sweet.

and to anyone else seeing this PLEASE add if theres anything u think i missed, any random events u remember that were cool, etc. most of what i remember is annoying twitter drama bc i was a teenager for BF

I am finally watching season 5 lmfao. I didn't want to because the first half is boring to me. I really don't care about class B. I only care about a handful of the class A kids and Shinsou is cool, he's part of 1A to me since i started watching the series. Anyway, reading the class 1A vs class 1B battles is a different experience from watching them animated. It should be more exciting because it's in motion, but I think because I read the chapters wayyy back in like ??? 2019, after season 5 hit 2 years later, I was like okay. My best friend had to SIT ME DOWN to watch the first 7 episodes because I couldn't commit to the series. So now I have committed myself to watch an episode a day and I'm finally on season 5. So I'm watching each episode slowly and I'm enjoying them because they're 24 minutes long and then it's over. The thing I love about this season is the OP, we get Izuku and Shouto having a full conversation while everyone else is just stretching or whatever. Nobody else matters except these 2 angels. No little glances from other characters compare to the full conversation they are having LMFAO. Best thing in that part of the season. I am watching for black whip and Izuku and Shouto talking after the battles. And both their battles. But that's really it. One of the things that bothers me is that none of the recommendation students won their battles. They either lost or ended with a draw (?) I think, which is so stupid because they're supposed to be better than the others yet they don't win. Bullshit. Horikoshi just hates women and doesn't want Shouto to win. Momo and Setsuna should have won. I can handle Mud man losing, he's not my favorite. Like you can't have Shouto hype up Momo and have her LOSE. Horikoshi what's that even about??? What was the POINT? Hype her up to WIN. Prove Shouto's point that she's excellent. And then he has Shouto reaching these insane temperatures ....for his battle to be a draw. WOW. AMAZING. That's so anticlimactic. He could have 3 class 1A groups win in a row, and then have Bakugou lose, that would have been interesting. Humble him more. And then have Izuku win, that was good. No complaints about him. He even got black whip. I'm ignoring everything else that happened in that fight, but black whip was cool (I love that quirk, leave me ALONE). Idc if his favoritism for class 1A would have shown, I wanted my kids to win. They got hyped and did not get rewarded. Don't hype them up then! Or put them in the same team so they can ALL win at the same time IDK. He could have taken so many directions with this arc. I just think it sucks. It's salvaged, in my opinion, by the individual characters and what they bring to the table, Shinsou does a great job, the OP giving me crumbs, Momo, Shouto, and Izuku looking really cool, black whip, and the talk between my favorite boys. I'm not hate watching, I'm honestly watching because I want to know what's going on, since it's been YEARS after I read the manga and also years since I watched the 7 episodes I watched with my bestie before I went to do my master's. I really am interested. I just think the arc, to me, is boring.

Hiiii! :) I saw that your ships were open and thought I would request one if you're still doing them 💕

I'm 5'4", and have olive skin and dark hair (although my hair type is a weird combo of straight/wavy, and tends to have auburn undertones in the sun). I'm a Slytherin and INTP-T, if those mean anything lol.

Currently, I'm a student, and I'm very close to finishing my degree in History. No clue what I want to do with it once I'm done, but my dream career would be to write children's books. (Which is kind of ironic because I have that ADHD/Dyslexia combo going on, so you wouldn't really expect me to want to write - although I do have a very active imagination and constantly daydream about things) I hate the cold, but I'm always looking for outdoor adventures and activities like hiking.

Personality wise, I'm pretty introverted and observant, and a lot of people mistake my shyness for me being rude, even if I don't mean to come across that way. However, I'm at that point in my life where I really don't mind how people view me anymore, so I kind of just do what I want and vibe without worry anymore. I also am in the habit of just jumping into my car and driving off on little adventures by myself whenever I want a change of scene, which has given me a lot of fun experiences and taught me a lot about myself

Thank you love 💕 Hope you have an awesome day!!

Heyyyy thank you for your request, I’m a hugeee fan of your writing omg!!! hope you have a great day too!!<;3<3

I ship you with… Eugene Roe!!!

Ahhhhhh omg first of all Eugene finds you so attractive he’s a little scared?!

I feel like it’s your hair that he first notices? Like let’s say you have it tied back if you’ve just run Currahee or something, and when you take it down he sees all these auburn undertones.

it’s like a scene out of a movie, his eyebrows raise and he goes all doe eyed watching you as if you were the only person in the whole of camp Toccoa.

soon snaps out of this trance when Sobel starts barking orders lol.

but no seriously your features would really compliment his, and the first time he sees you up close ohhhh my god he’s in love???

he’s down bad for you even in the early days. So when you two start to speak to one another it only gets worse.

Like him, you’re a little shy and more observant, maybe at first Eugene does find this intimidating, but recognising you’re a little introverted yourself he’s the one to make the first move and speak to you?

once you get closer and he gets more on your vibe and how you’re so happy with where you are in life let’s say? He finds it truly inspiring.

like how can he find somebody so attractive and yet soooo kind and lovely and intuitive- like I said he’s down bad.

I feel like you’d make the first move? Idk he’s just so respectful and brought up to be so polite he was worried he’d disrespect you in any kinda way?

but nooooo honestly once you show one sign of interest it makes him the happiest man ever??

I feel like he’d be a super good kisser omfg-

I feel like you sound so open minded as a person and Eugene would love this. Maybe he needs somebody adventurous like you to bring him out of his shell?

his friends would deffo love you for this- I feel like they’d catch you both joy riding or something? They’d find it hilarious that Eugene Roe and you had stolen an army issued jeep.

but like I said you being so open minded and imaginative I feel like would give you such a fun relationship? Eugene would learn a thing or two from you and after a while I think he’d get in the swing of taking you out on more imaginative dates.

Eugene would be a massive fan of anything you wrote, seriously you’d never fail to impress him.

if anybody even attempted to question your writing abilities he’d immediately scowl omg.

Idc what anybody says for the people he loves he’d cuss somebody out to protect you.

Would be sooo reassuring and supportive afterwards? Literally would be your number 1 hype man.

if you got upset by anybody’s doubts he’d be sooo gentle and patient and caring with you omg.

Would deffo pull you into his lap and watch you through sad eyes. This man is soo gentle ONG help.

i think because you’re so observant Gene would want to get your opinion on a lot of things. People, situations, even his outfits?

Would probably prioritise you over anything omg.

I think he’s a dark horse in the bedroom lmao???? Like BDE but we can discuss that another time-

Maybe if either of you were struggling to sleep or if you’d have a particular bad day, Eugene knows how much you like driving so you’d just go on mini road trips together?

driving through the night with his hand on your lap would deffo happen and it would be perfect omg.

Let’s say you’re both somehow in Bastogne together, okay.

You’d been together for a couple months or so at this point and Eugene knows how much you hate the cold. He’d hate to see you sit there suffering and shuddering away without the correct uniform or supplies.

god he despised whoever put you in this hell of a place.

So he’d steal you blankets, wrapping you up and force feeding you coffee whether you liked it or not? He’s so so worried for you out there and Bastogne clearly had a toll on his mental health.

If it wasn’t for you and your comfort he wouldn’t have known how he coped? You’re such a cathartic relief for him, he almost feels a little dependent on you after Bastogne.

just give him lots of hugs and reassurance and he’ll appreciate this for a life time.

takes you home with him to be with his family where they treat you as one of their own 🥺🥺🥰🥰

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ship you platonically with… Bill Guarnere!!

Okay forget coming across rude just because you’re shy cos Guarnere wouldn’t think this for a second.

in fact he’d get confused straight away if anybody else thought this? He’d maybe get a little defensive too because he knows what type of person you are.

I mean, he did think you were more introverted at first, but when he saw you randomly joy riding an army issued keep???? He was in shock- but the best kind.

he let out a HUGE belly laugh omg- he almost got you caught. But deciding he wanted to jump in with you.

takes the piss out of your driving- apparently he’s much better but he’s the one that crashes?

maybe you two get in a lil trouble together from the superiors but Bill always takes the blame.

like no she was alone and needed a lift, she doesn’t even know what the hell joy riding is?

if you go on some adventure somewhere or a hike Bill would seem pretty keen to join but would probably complain the whole way?

I feel like he’d get on your nerves like a brother would ? Like don’t complain at me if you’re just gonna come on 5 more hikes with me the week after?

he’s a drama queen, so your calmer energy chills him out.

wouldn’t know what the hell you were talking about on the topic of history but thinks you’re a human encyclopaedia?

deffo gives you this nickname.

teases you about Eugene and once tried to give you a chat about the ‘birds and the bee’s’ like thanks Bill I’m not 12?!

LISTEN. I did not want to read this as fast as I did and honestly I didn't pick up on the hype at first. Maybe it was the sleep deprivement but I felt like it was being written by a teenager on Wattpad AT FIRST. After getting a much needed 7 hours of sleep, I got back to it and it did get a lot better.

And let me just say this before I say anything else. Landon King for the WINNN. IDC IDC IDC

The playlist for this book is IMMACULATE. Best one yet.

This book also takes the cake for my most highlighted book yet (on kindle that is.)

Brandon is not what I thought he was. I thought of him as a well mannered, sweet boy but BOY was I WRONG. Turns out he tricked me just as much as everyone else. If i'm being honest, I thought he was spineless at first but after advancing in the book I realized there was a reason why. After realizing i'd been bamboozled once again, I realized that there was more to him that meets the eyes. I found it especially heart felt when Brandon was freaking out because Nikolai started to ignore him. I believe he described it as falling into a dark abyss or a dark place? Point is, he was depressed and miserable so he put the things he would've texted instead of growing a pair and actually sending them. Usually I wait until the end to put my quotes but this is the first and only exception because I love angst;

⋆𐙚₊˚⊹ "...Why did you come into my life if you were going to leave? Why did you make me addicted to you if you didn't plan to stay? if I say I'm sorry will you come back? You were never a booty call. I don't even do those. And I'm the fucking toy, not you. I don't even like running anymore. You ruined it like everything else. Fucking Bastard. Fuck you. I'm messed up Nikolai. Extremely so. You should be glad to have dodged a bullet. I hate myself. Why don't you hate me, too? Oh right. You do now. Finally. Congrats on the wake-up call. Better late than never...."⋆𐙚₊˚⊹

Isn't that beautiful. Beautiful angst!

I was shook when Nikolai licked his "white frosting" that was on Brandon and then thrusted it into Brandon's mouth... SOMEONE CALL EMS. In my defense, I've read BL mangas before but I had never read one. It was new imagining this. Sometimes I felt like smoke was coming out of my ears because of how errotic some of the scenes where *TEEHEE* On top of this, the full thrust no prep had me cringing. Poor Brandon.

Nikolai is one crazy mofo. He truly did need to be medicated and I'm glad towards the end he was properly medicated because the shit that was happening in his mind was concerning. Unlike Landon and Killian, Nikolai (in my opinion) wouldn't manipulate someone just for the hell of it. I'm glad Brandon and Niklaus found something in each other that calmed the raging storm inside. Ya'll he literally took his medication because he was scared he would go into a stage of rage again that would hurt Brandon.... *insert squeal here*

Can we talk about the out of nowhere 'cide attempt? I did NOT see that coming. I was on the edge of my seat as I read that. I still do not get why Landon was shit on for being emotionless and not loving his twin in the previous book when he was the only one who noticed something had been wrong with Brandon... twin telepathy or whatever

ALSO. Let's discuss about Levi (Brandon's father) getting hit after hit after hit? First he get's a 'psycho' son, then his daughter get's a 'psycho' boyfriend (Killian) THEN his son starts dating his daughter's boyfriends cousin that is said to be worse than him...Damn.

On another note, my eyebrows were unknowingly furrowed this entire book in concentration. BEFORE I GET TO IT. There's a line in here that is in Russian that, for the life of me, I could NOT find the translation. Like I searched all over the internet for it and I couldn't find it until I got to the end of book... the translation was 'I can't live without you.' .ೃ࿐

.ೃ࿐HERE'S SOME QUOTES:

𐙚₊˚⊹"...'Why the hell would you lick me? Are you a dog?'... 'WOOF'"𐙚₊˚⊹

𐙚₊˚⊹ "...I can't help rereading his texts. They're gone from raging to pleading to raging again. He calls me twenty times a day like a damn stalker..." 𐙚₊˚⊹

𐙚₊˚⊹ "How dare he be so unaffected when I've barely been able to breath properly since he's been gone? I crunched more pills than I have in my entire life just to bring myself down from the high. So that I could see him without being weirded out about the fact that I could hurt him..."𐙚₊˚⊹

𐙚₊˚⊹ "...'They were only physical. They meant nothing.' ...'And I do?'...'Baby you mean fucking everything'..." 𐙚₊˚⊹

This book really got me in a talking mood. WOOF. Read this book if you like angst TEEHEE.

I've also decided to read Eli's book even though the troupe isn't my type.

[itisnotdefended]

he he ha ha i don't feel like a person in my relationship (:

all of this talk about what he needs. about how i rebuild trust with him. steps to make the relationship work again.

but what about what i want. what are my needs? let's try to figure it out! YIPEE BITCH

i need to express my queerness

i need to be able to feel free to express my emotions

i need someone to match my energy

i need to feel seen - what does this mean and how do i know it's happened?

i need to feel desired

i need to be understood

i need to be able to tease and be teased

i need to yap and be yapped at (i need a partner who is articulate and values language/communication)

i need good sex?? man...

what i've been feeling:

dampened - a lot of times i will bring up something or a person or an activity and there's no enthusiasm. there's no excitement. there hasn't been for years. i always feel like the most excited one, the one who has to be hype. the hype is rarely reciprocated. generally, he doesn't lift the energy between us and it makes me feel like i have to.

unheard and not understood - i'll bring up my emotions or how i feel and instead of asking questions or having some curiosity, it's defensiveness or a shut down. i don't bring up my emotions until they explode now. knowing i have to possibly deal with him taking how i feel personally makes me not want to communicate how i feel at all.

undesirable, non-sexual - the unheard feeling makes me feel unloved. without the love, i can't feel desired in a meaningful way. in a practical way, i feel like my needs aren't tended to. if i have to explain where my fucking clit is ONE MORE TIME AFTER 9 YEARS I WILL VOMIT. my labia DON'T need to be sucked on like an arby's sandwich. these are all things that porn can teach you and that's coming from someone who starkly advocates AGAINST porn educating people. the minute someone wanted to talk to me and matched my energy, it was like sparks flew between us and THAT is concerning.

held back - i feel like i can't explore. i want to explore myself, different careers, different places. i can't do that.

literally annoyed a lot - i try to say something to encourage banter and it's met with taking my comment seriously. i try a joke and it's also taken seriously. i say stuff heavily implying something and the implication is repeated back to me explicitly like i didn't know what was being said. half my words are misinterpreted or repeated in a different way. "i want to get better at dirty talk. could you send me things?" NO. FUCKING. NO. DO SOME WORK. IDC. you want to get better at dirty talk? literally okay, put in the effort man idk what to tell you. when i wanted to give better head, i got your personal feedback but i also found videos, text explanations, i LITERALLY ASKED STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET. smh my damn head. it feels like i'm helping an 18yr old with their first girlfriend and i might as well be.
