Sometimes I’m hit by the devastating fact that my childhood is leaving. It’s slipping away but I’ve still got half a foot in it. I’ll never be twelve again. I can barely remember a moment of fourth grade, but I know what it felt like. We once spent a month making a trip poster on the hallway floor. I haven’t talked to you in four years. I tutor people in Calculus. I just learned long division. I buy plushies with money I earned at work. I still sleep with the same stuffed animal my grandma got me. Maybe when I wake up, my mom will be waiting to braid my hair, because I don’t know how to yet. My dog will be small enough to fit under the fence. We’ll play tag at recess. They’ll bring the laptop cart for English. I’ll be twelve again.

#writing #ig #honestly I’ve just been like #hit really hard by nostalgia recently #but not like cute fun nostalgia #instead the heartwrenching kind when you think about the past and remember that it is ‘past’#my sister goes to the school I used to #if I needed to call her out sick #I wouldn’t know who to call #I never had a reason to have the number saved #not when my mom was the one who would always call for me #I wish she could still do that for me #instead I just email a teacher and use their first name bc that’s what the professors say to call them half the time #they don’t care if I come or not #still wish i could just get my mom to do it for me #I’m sure she’d write the email better than I would

whoever asked for more rozen maiden dolls it's your lucky day i got you bro (gender neutral)

#my art #wip #souseiseki has been my favourite since i was 11. so gender envy!!!!!!!!!#also i love twin characters can you tell #the twins' composition is sooooo 2000s gothic anime twin/sibling core it was definitely intentional #i want people to come up to my table and be like 'omg these are all of my 90s/00s anime childhood/teenhood faves' hehe.#the proportions are not consistent from one chara to another but. i think.... imo if you want to draw fun poses in chibi style ..#you def have to cheat chibi anatomy a bit #I JUST WANT TO DRAW NOSTALGIA AND DOLLS AND GOTHIC STUFF FOREVER..#i never realized this before but hina's hair is so shirley temple core it's really cute #i might have to tweak suiseiseki the anatomy looks a little fucked up #rozen maiden

Party (group) party (celebratory)! (Patreon)

#Doodles #Pokemon #Gyrados #Ninetales #Sableye #Ampharos #Banette #Politoed #Pikachu #The lot! Mostly my SoulSilver guys but a kind of general mishmash of nostalgia and aiming-fors #Even tho I played Yellow when I was quite a bit younger I never beat it or got particularly attached to my 'mon and ended up selling it #Mistake I know blame the folly of youth lol #So I really consider Soul Silver as my ''first'' game - though I beat X before SS pfft just can't make it simple eh!#But I got veryyy attached to my SSteam <3 It's fun to watch them grow in the photo album! Can see most of them as babies :D #I ended up with a Vulpix named Beauty since Ninetales is my favourite Pokemon <3 I knew she'd grow into a beauty! Thusly named #And a Magikarp that I thought would be ironically funny to name Beast because well - y'know lol #Did not even occur to me Once that they'd be Beauty and Beast haha - the reasoning is so strongly connected it just didn't register!#They're a fun duo :) Fire and Water Fish and Fox hehe <3 Cute lads!#Group of four was speculations about building a really ideal team for me - Mareep Line Obviously and Ninetales goes without saying #Sableye is another really obvious one lol I love Sableye so muuuuchhhh aghhh <3 <3 #Banette wouldn't exactly fill in many gaps but I've always leaned more towards Ghost and Psychic types #The Politoed doodles were just for funsies tho lol I really can't decide on a Water type I like that I haven't already exhausted!#They're silly little frog guys which I do enjoy haha #Probably not my personal pick but I like them :)#The aforementioned Yellow playthrough had me with a Pikachu I named Sparks which I then wrote fanfic about haha #Baby's first fanfic and fanart were both Pokemon! I have no idea where it'd be now as it was in a notebook but I remember the gist at least #Thought it'd be nice to bring him back to visit <3 #And then some silly ones for myself lol what's a good trainer pose!#I think they're all silly lol but I do like the middle one :D #I'd love a Pokeball shirt like that! All the Pokemon things pls and thank you!

this morning i was doing my best to dress all my dolls for an upcoming snow storm, and i realized courtney has no cold weather gear!

i suppose she might not own her own, as she lives in sunny california, but it could be that the outfit is technically borrowed from a friend or something.

idk, it just feels like such a huge missed opportunity. AG loves putting her in those incredibly bright colors, and 80s ski suits are right there man! im no fashion historian, so i don’t know how reasonable it would have been for her to wear one, even borrowed; however, i feel like there other items in her collection that also aren’t the most feasible so. ag should just do it anyway. for me. because i think snow sets are cute 🥰

#my posts #agblr #american girl #american girl dolls #courtney Moore #like cmon guys. mr ag i know you were mostly just going for nostalgia bait for her collection anyway. pls bait me. its my turn ❤️#to be clear. I have no nostalgia for the 80s as I was not alive lmao. but I just think 80s ski suits are SO CUTE. and also I love doll #snow gear in general so.#like. at least give me a fun windbreaker set! cmon man!

Sold Your Soul

mephone rambles^

#osc #juice art #bot ii #ii bot #inanimate insanity #inanimate insanity fanart #bot ii fanart #ii bot fanart #my friend yelled BOT SOLD THEIR SOUL when she saw this and i thought that was such an amusing thing to say #that i decided to name the art after it #anyway i rewatched spring on the breakfast and despite the cabby & bot situation that hurt me very personally #i did enjoy it a lot #i think they did amazing with showing how childhood trauma victims sometimes experience extreme nostalgia for the tiniest things #and the song is so perfectly tailored to mephone's psyche it's amazing #check the read more for a rant on him in this episode #don't mind the somewhat unusual way of speaking i like to talk differently in different places #but yeah i thought it would be fucked up and fun to make a cute springtastic cereal ad with bot

they have GOT to stop only making cute sonic clothes in kids sizes like i know this is what im signing up for by becoming really invested in a kids franchise but come on. what if i want sonic pajamas too

#i dont want the boring nostalgia bait shirts of classic sonic just standing there i want cute and fun designs !!! i want modern sonic !!!!#i want characters like tails and knuckles and shadow !!!!! without having to spend a bunch of money on the sega online store !!!#and nobody tell me to just get the biggest possible size in the kids section not all of us are skinny enough for that

Baby Mickey! 💛

#so fun fact about me literally no one would guess:#I have the trait that when something is TOO cute it actually makes me uncomfortable #it doesn't happen often but with me #this is extremely rare and is almost always limited to cute things that are portrayed as sad #(like Sad Sam and Honey for example)#but baby-ified things will do it too. this mickey borders on that line #monchiichis activate it too!#anyway. normal tags now!#mickey #disney #80s #toycore #kidcore #toys #mine #original #nostalgia #nostalgic

i’m sorry VOTER FRAUD?

IN MY VEGGIETALES?

it’s more likely than you’d think...

#veggietales #ryan watches vt #he literally shows up out of nowhere hears 'happy place' and says 'I WILL BECOME GRAND MARSHALL OF HAPPINESS PARADE' and immediately #like no hesitation nobody saying anything is like 'I WILL STUFF THE BALLOT BOX and BE ELECTED'#now's probably the time to admit that I don't recognize any Larry-Boy or League stuff after Bad Apple as canon #and even then I didn't really like Bad Apple #I tried watching League but was way too old for it by then and had hit my limit #like I love rewatching classic VT because it's not just nostalgia it felt legitimately fun for adults #read phil's book it's great #but also like... past a certain point VT became 'oh yeah its cute and kinda funny still'#and this new show so far really doesn't have clever laugh out loud enjoyable for adults too moments #not like they used to have #they feel so... sanitized #and there's something weird about complaining like that #but it's not really complaining as it is just... noting how drastically different 90s kid media and 2010s kid media and 2020 kids media is #from 'family fun' meaning adults could get a chuckle and like it too #to 'family fun' means its 'Wholesome'(tm) Christian Media (tm) and if there's even a reference to an old TV show kids haven't watched #its a big Ordeal like #idk there's a whole lot to say there #and I probably should watch more eps before I say anything more #at the end of all these liveblogs I may give a wider explanation of my thoughts on the new series from a view of like...#a long time fan since childhood who HAS returned several times to the show and fandom into his adulthood

WHAT THE HELL NOBODY EVER TOLD ME TWO OF MY FAVE VILLAGERS GOT A LINE STICKER TOGETHER. ive loved tabby for YEARS like since 2019 at LEAST. and these stickers are from 2018 how did i not know !!! i love tabby and boots so much 😭😭😭 TABBY AND BOOTS ANIMAL CROSSING I LOVE YOU SO MUCHHHHH OOMFS FOREVER AND EVER

#im so happy any official content of tabby is awesome shes my fave i looooove her so much SHES SO SILLY!!!#and boots was one of my starting residents on acnh so he holds a special place in my heart #in case anyone was wondering which im sure you were not. my other starting villager on acnh was rocket and shes soooo silly i love rocket #not enough people love her like shes so silly. u are all HATERS #anyway i love talking about my acnh villagers I WISH I HAD MY ACNL ONES WRITTEN DOWN. the only ones i remember are tabby and kyle #but my acnh ones atm (and when i say atm i mean they will be probably til the end of time)#are my guy sherb (found on one of the ticket islands)#stiches (who i also found on an island i think?)#chai (i have her amiibo card shes so cute.)#tammi (another island find)#stella (man i really did just take the first villagers i found on an island and kept them huh)#rocket and boots (starter villagers)#tabby (I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TRADE HER TO ME ON REDDIT I THINK? and then they were like oh if shes ur fave u can just have her +#like for free. AND THAT WAS SOOOO AWESOME)#bea (i think she was also a ticket island thingy find)#and finally... tom (ok he has a fun story.#i think it was margie who lived on my island at the time and listen she was SUCH a sweetheart i wanted to keep her forever #(she replaced drift who i found on an island and he was mean to me so i have beef with him. still. like four years later.)#but them tom showed up as a camper and i got this crazy hit of nostalgia and i remembered my guy tom was in my childhood city folk town #and i was like. I MISS MY BOY. COME BACK TO ME. so he moved in)#umm only other villager we had was chadder which i think my little brother picked when we shared the island #i think i remember him saying he got chadder because of dantdm...? i dont remember the details #but i got the sanrio amiibo cards which i need to stress i had wanted for YEARS. i was so fucking happy when they got a rerelease #to the point where like. i couldnt get them at first because they sold out super fast. so #i bought them from someone in twitter dms im so serious. and it fucking worked thats how i got them #anyway i wanted chai to move in because shes my fave of that set (i love cinnamoroll) but i needed someone to move out #which i always get so sad about :( but my brother offered to take chadder so i felt a little better abt it #and then i think we forgot to like. have him come get chadder in boxes. so chadder went off somewhere hope hes living a good life #thats it i think. i wish i kept a list of all my villagers ever but considering ive been playing for a decade or so now that would be. crazy #muffin mumbles

five yrs in forgotten valley would help akira tremendously

#stardust speaking !#'with what' i dont know #the farming game love is simply intense rn my heart aches for pixels forming trees and cows and turnips #also cuz mollys scene where she returned from a wedding of a former 'coworker' T_T not feeling like she belonged in the city #them more or less laughing at her when she spoke about her current job #oh my no1 love.....#matthew who feels like he isnt getting better & is frustrated about it #that nami scene where she admits she did intend to leave but she got hungry and wanted lou's cooking so she forgot about that & went back #premhyk akira is very.....lost to me T_T very kind and gentle but very. going along w the flow?#thinks of those lines about how they now can look at ppl at vincent & gilbert properly #while in the past they wouldve looked away & avoided them #also the line i always mention but akira taking comfort in the convo about burnt bread and jam and olive oil #lumina who plays perfectly but thats the issue because she just plays the notes. she isnt plyng like shes having fun #lumina who felt like she should become like her mother but also knows thats not what romana wants at all #luminas line about how practice feels like watching paint dry LMAAOOO I ADOREEEE her shes so. silly. so great #idk if ive ever said it here but forgetmenot valley has always been my favorite town. probably nostalgia factor but #i plyd hmds a tremendous amount LOL said i wouldnt marry muffy since i Always went for her in awl #so i went thro flora lumina nami.....rly like flora still i think shes cute #i miss leia too #also i read some of the engagement scenes and i rlyyyy like matthews and namis................(i like celias 9heart event a lot too LOL #i think shes cute #i should watch them too but i dont wanna yet ill do it some other time #also the gordy scene where he visits ur farm GOD the mc is SO cute T_T?!?!? the way they play w their dog ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!#thinking about flowerworks too......although i might be flawed but arent we all......#every step you took toughened the world....#god i Have been thinking about flowerworks lately but i havent listened cuz just thinking about the lyrics makes me tear up LOLT_T #akira and their wizards......1.5..........
