Real Friends - Everyone That Dragged You Here, traduzione testi
Tumblr media
Magari l’anno prossimo tornerai qua a far passare l’autunno Guardando le foglie spazzate dal vento sul vialetto di casa mia E potremmo ascoltarci gli American Football E parlare della high school un po’ come abbiamo fatto gli altri anni
(da: Home for Fall)
1. Real Friends – Floorboards, traduzione
Assi di legno Hai detto che non mi sono messo a urlare alle nuvole per niente
Mi hai spiegato che alla fine si sistema tutto quanto
Ecco quello che continuerò a ripetermi
Non voglio più essere geloso degli alberi di fianco al garage del mio vicino
Mi accomoderò nel disastro che ho combinato Non farmi colare a picco e cadere a pezzi
Cerca di non dimenticare tutto quello che ho detto Ancora una settimana e mi tiro sù e non sto più su queste ginocchia ossute
Evidentemente ci è voluto un anno per capire che per star bene non mi serviva altro che quello che avevo
Però ho comunque questi occhi assonnati che hanno visto troppo per quanto mi riguarda Sarò sincero, la mia pelle e le ossa hanno visto giorni migliori
Trenta libbre fa mi sapeva di situazione più stabile
Sarò sincero, la mia pelle e le ossa hanno visto giorni migliori
Sarò sincero, la mia pelle e le ossa hanno visto giorni migliori Ancora una settimana e mi tiro sù e non sto più su queste ginocchia ossute
Evidentemente ci è voluto un anno per capire che per star bene non mi serviva altro che quello che avevo
Però ho comunque questi occhi assonnati che hanno visto troppo per quanto mi riguarda Non servono a nulla le assi di legno in casa mia
Mi sembra tutto storto
E non riesco ad alzarmi senza di te
Mi sembra tutto storto Ancora una settimana e mi tiro sù e non sto più su queste ginocchia ossute
Evidentemente ci è voluto un anno per capire che per star bene non mi serviva altro che quello che avevo
Però ho comunque questi occhi assonnati che hanno visto troppo per quanto mi riguarda 2. Real Friends – Anchor Down, traduzione
Ancorare a terra Non penso proprio di essere pronto per un altro inverno di Chicago
Per cui puoi smetterla di farmi venire freddo alle ossa
Giuro che quel vuoto ti vive dentro al petto
Il motivo per cui ti sei allontanato così tanto da quello che tirava fuori il meglio di te sei te stesso
Intendiamoci, io vorrei che un sacco di cose fossero com’erano prima
Le strade che mi facevano sentire vivo ora mi fanno solo sentire solo
I buchi nel muro diventano ogni anno più grandi Faccio fatica a pensare che c’è gente a questo mondo che mi guarda con gli stessi occhi tuoi
Mi sto spaccando tutt’e dieci le dita per te e tu per me non ne alzeresti nemmeno uno
La gratitudine l’hai persa sulla terra che hai sulle mani e sulle ginocchia Ma io non sarò mai solo un buco nel muro
E puoi ancorare i piedi a terra e mandare affanculo il passato e tutti quelli che ti hanno trascinato qui
Non mi metto su un piedistallo
Tu devi farti rispettare, te e la persona che sostieni di essere stato Faccio fatica a pensare che c’è gente a questo mondo che mi guarda con gli stessi occhi tuoi
Mi sto spaccando tutt’e dieci le dita per te e tu per me non ne alzeresti nemmeno uno
La gratitudine l’hai persa sulla terra che hai sulle mani e sulle ginocchia Ancora i piedi a terra e manda affanculo il passato e tutti quelli che ti hanno trascinato qui
Tu fatti rispettare, te e la persona che sostieni di essere stato Faccio fatica a pensare che c’è gente a questo mondo che mi guarda con gli stessi occhi tuoi
Mi sto spaccando tutt’e dieci le dita per te e tu per me non ne alzeresti nemmeno uno
La gratitudine l’hai persa sulla terra che hai sulle mani e sulle ginocchia 3. Real Friends – Keep It Together, traduzione
Mantenere la calma Passi ogni sabato sera per terra in bagno senza alcun ricordo della serata passata
Sei un rottame e tutto quello che ci sta in mezzo
Stare da solo non mi sembra poi così male Tu sei il tipo di ragazza che lo fa sapere a tutta la città quando con le labbra si avvicina a una bottiglia
E vuoi solo l’attenzione di tutti gli occhi e le orecchie che ricoprono le pareti di questa stanza Preferisco dormire in compagnia solamente delle mie ginocchia ossute e del pensiero di qualcuno che riesce a stare in piedi
Mi sa che dormirò da solo stanotte
Tu andrai a dire a tutti che sei diversa, ma sei solo una sfumatura di grigio di cui nessuno si è mai accorto Mandiamo avanti fino alle 2 del mattino e le pareti non girano abbastanza da dimenticare il tuo ex e tutte le tue amiche di merda
Dici che non perderai la testa, ma io so che quelle pareti le farai crollare
Va sempre così Preferisco dormire in compagnia solamente delle mie ginocchia ossute e del pensiero di qualcuno che riesce a stare in piedi
Mi sa che dormirò da solo stanotte
Tu andrai a dire a tutti che sei diversa, ma sei solo una sfumatura di grigio di cui nessuno si è mai accorto Preferisco dormire in compagnia solamente delle mie ginocchia ossute e del pensiero di qualcuno che riesce a stare in piedi
Mi sa che dormirò da solo Preferisco dormire in compagnia solamente delle mie ginocchia ossute e del pensiero di qualcuno che riesce a stare in piedi
Mi sa che dormirò da solo stanotte
Tu andrai a dire a tutti che sei diversa, ma sei solo una sfumatura di grigio di cui nessuno si è mai accorto 4. Real Friends – Everything I Never Want to Be, traduzione
Tutto quello che non voglio diventare Spero che ti diverti là al college visto che ci sei andato per scappare da tutte le cazzate che hai fatto
Non sei molto bravo a sfuggire a tutto il karma che hai tra la lingua e la guancia
Siamo arrivati al punto che sei uguale sputato all’immagine di tutto quello che non voglio diventare Ti ho dato occasioni su occasioni ed è ovvio che non ci hai neanche provato
Ormai possiamo dire tranquillamente che cancellerò ogni traccia che hai lasciato da queste parti
Mi spiace che sono andato in pezzi quando mi sarei dovuto ricomporre Mi hai lasciato in cima al muretto senza sapere da che parte saltare
Visto che hai sempre saputo che il mio equilibrio fa cagare come il mio giudizio
Avevo la sensazione che mi sarei ritrovato steso sull’erba a morire
Adesso sono qui che guardo quel muretto Ti ho dato occasioni su occasioni ed è ovvio che non ci hai neanche provato
Ormai possiamo dire tranquillamente che cancellerò ogni traccia che hai lasciato da queste parti
Mi spiace che sono andato in pezzi quando mi sarei dovuto ricomporre Sei finito per essere uguale sputato all’immagine di tutto quello che non voglio diventare
Sei tutto quello che non voglio diventare 5. Real Friends – Home for Fall, traduzione
A casa in autunno Sono cambiate un sacco di cose qui a casa da quando te ne sei andato senza mettere in valigia tutta la tua roba
Passo sempre davanti a casa tua in macchina sperando di vederti seduto in veranda
E sento ancora la puzza di fumo sui tuoi vestiti
E sento ancora quelle storie che hai saputo da qualcun altro che ti escono dalla lingua Proprio non è la stessa cosa da queste parti senza di te
Ho quasi sempre la sensazione che ti senti sopraffatto laggiù
Sei scappato dal Midwest e hai preso in cambio le spiagge e i tramonti della East Coast
Non farti prendere da troppe cose troppo in fretta Stai sù con la testa laggiù
Non dimenticarti da dove vieni e chi ti vuole bene
Ogni volta che senti la mancanza di casa, guardati il braccio
Hai i confini dello Stato tatuati sull’avambraccio
Ci sono ancora i tuoi ricordi appesi al muro di camera mia Proprio non è la stessa cosa da queste parti senza di te
Ho quasi sempre la sensazione che ti senti sopraffatto laggiù
Sei scappato dal Midwest e hai preso in cambio le spiagge e i tramonti della East Coast
Non farti prendere da troppe cose troppo in fretta Magari l’anno prossimo tornerai qua a far passare l’autunno guardando le foglie spazzate dal vento sul vialetto di casa mia
E potremmo ascoltarci gli American Football e parlare della high school un po’ come abbiamo fatto gli altri anni

Maybe I'll make a post on this at some point but like, something deeply fucked up about TNP and Po3 that people have totally forgotten about is how badly they try to whine that "Tigerstar Had Good Traits :("
Firestar does it, Brambleclaw does it, and they keep doing this after it becomes this GRAND irony that Firestar almost gets Tiger'd to death in a fox trap because he was too trusting. Bramble gets his pity award of keeping deputyship and then cries to his son about how No One Saw The Good In Tigerstar :(
And it's wiiiiild that no one else in this fandom has done anything with the fact that Leopardstar broke the Warrior Code to appoint Hawkfrost, who had no apprentice, an extremely aggressive and warmongering Tigerclone who says things like "Tigerstar wasn't the worst cat to look up to." ONLY qualifying trait was being kinda like Tigerstar.
And she practically did that the SECOND Mistyfoot went missing. And then Leopardstar continued to be one of the most violent and xenophobic leaders through Po3, joining with WindClan to attack ThunderClan.
What I'm getting at is that like, a few years ago, with books like "Blackfoot's Reckoning" and "Shadow in RiverClan" it's like they suddenly decided to retcon in a bunch of "redemption arcs" in hindsight. They just pretended like there was this grand high reckoning with TigerClan, when there literally wasn't, and if anything that caused SERIOUS problems for the cast that the authors didn't fully acknowledge as such.
And now ppl haven't actually read the main series and are just working with their recent memory of all these retcon books.
But TNP and PO3 are still there, and you can go and see the ACTUAL timeline where Leopardstar is really not apologetic at all, and Blackstar is a useful stooge for the very next wannabe dictator that strolls in, in spite of the new side content that COMPLETELY mischaracterized them for their plots to work.

Swinging a bat at a hornet's nest, but I keep seeing the opinion go around that it's insensitive to say that we'll make it through the next 4 years because so many people didn't the first time around. Which, I guess I see the point, but like... do you expect all of us to just be like this for the next 4 years???
Tumblr media
I totally get why some people can't feel hopeful, but insinuating that someone else is in the wrong for being able to stay optimistic just isn't productive or, in my opinion, a reasonable expectation. We all react to stressful times differently and not only is that okay, but it should be encouraged that people work through this however they personally need to and in whichever emotional state they end up in.

OC A-Zs / OC Alphabet
I was tagged by @someone-elsa to show off one of my sims for each letter of the alphabet. (Fancy graphic optional, but I love playing in photoshop too much not to make a little graphic.) I could have made this a lot easier by including other characters that I've made sims of (Yasha and Nocticula, for example) but I decided to be strict about it and stick to my own OCs/sims. Surprising to absolutely no one, it ended up being very heavy on the D&D characters, though a decent number of RTQ/ATQH characters (the ones that I created) made it onto the list.
[a (very long) guide to who's who under the cut!] (and I do mean long. You have been warned.)
A - Avra Shadowbreath [D&D]
(she/her) My shadar-kai/reborn phantom rogue from my ongoing Curse of Strahd campaign. Devout worshipper of the Raven Queen, and a massive hypocrite. Kind of a bitch sometimes. Legally and biologically dead. Also a werewolf now.
B - Byron Lockwood [D&D NPC]
(he/him) Rook's least interesting half-brother. The "forgotten" middle child of Lord Alistair and Lady Evangeline Lockwood. Extremely boring. Only Lockwood brother with a job (and shockingly he's not terrible at it). The worst combo of all your shitty bosses.
C - Carrion Vice [D&D]
(he/him) My second-favorite OC at the moment. Biologically a tiefling but mechanically a beasthide shifter. Path of the Fractured barbarian. Transforms into a fucked-up monster when he rages. In an ongoing Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign.
D - Daldinia Veneta [D&D, misc]
(she/her) A sim I made for my random D&D CAS challenge and now want to play for real someday. Reborn circle of spores druid. Named after one or two species of fungi.
E - Elira "Ellie" Duskstep [D&D]
(she/her) High elf abjuration wizard who I might never play, but I love none the less. Very autistic. Has a grey cat familiar.
F - Fallon Oakes [RTQ/ATQH]
(she/her) My queen, the first love of my life, the woman who changed my life. Queen of Anvia and the protagonist of my story. Stubborn as hell. Thinks she has to do everything alone.
G - Gwendolyn [misc]
(she/her) The hypothetical child of Amelie (I can't find the pics I know I posted of her??) and Adrian. I don't know much else about her. She was really just a CAS experiment.
H - Havoc [D&D, Video Games]
(they/them) A tiefling swords bard who stared out as a random sim, became a dnd character idea, and then ended up being my first Tav for BG3.
I - Irina [misc]
(she/her) One of two sims I have named Irina, who hilariously were both made for other simblrs. Made for @/wildfairies ages ago. A classy vampire lady.
J - Jay [D&D NPC]
(she/her) Elf. A former member of the crew of the Tide Breaker, and Rook's only friend before meeting the Vanguard (our dnd party). Made a very brief appearance in-campaign to save Rook's life before being tragically eaten by a giant rainbow snake.
K - Kholl [D&D NPC]
(he/him) Elf. Former surgeon of the Tide Breaker. Jay's mentor. Dragged Rook back from the edge of death more times than he should have had to.
L - Laverna Rosefist [D&D]
(she/they) Tiefling thief rogue. The first dnd character I ever made. Originally made for a simblr thing. Has gone through several iterations before reaching her current (and final) form. A (seemingly inevitable) product of my obsession with both tieflings and rogues.
M - Morana Novak [D&D]
(she/her) Fetchling curse patron witch for a Pathfinder game I'll eventually be playing in. Necromancer. Very practical about death. Has a sketchbook full of detailed drawings and observations about corpses she encounters. Nicknamed "mortician" by one of her party members. Her familiar is a raven named Miro. Autistic as hell and has no empathy whatsoever.
N - ?
O - Odynia Adrasteia Erinyes [D&D]
(she/her) Aasimar vengeance paladin (with a dip into hexblade warlock) sworn to Nemesis. Currently playing in a Greek mythology themed campaign. Made a literal "eye-for-an-eye" exchange. Charged with keeping a man alive who kind of doesn't want to be alive.
P - ?
Q - ?
R - Rook [D&D]
(he/him) My favorite OC of all time, my beloved idiot bastard man, the love of my life. Half (wood) elf swashbuckler rogue. Bastard son of a nobleman who ran away and became a pirate. Compulsive liar and Very Good At It. Chaotic motherfucker. Accidentally made the BBEG get very attached to him (and he to the BBEG). My little punching bag. Had daddy issues. All his parental figures end up shitty or dead.
S - Sera [Video Games]
(she/her) My PC for my first playthrough of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. An aasimar traditional monk. Has an AC of 50 and can make up to 8 attacks in one turn. Never takes her halo off.
T - Tessa Smallwood [RTQ/ATQH]
(she/her) The palace healer at the royal palace of Anvia, near Carisfell. The sweetest person you'll ever meet, but will ask you to please take care of yourself. (A hard ask if you're Fallon, apparently.)
U - ?
V - Val (Kyron Valris) [D&D]
(they/them) Tiefling hexblade warlock. Captain of the smuggling ship the Devil's Scorn. Hired by the Vanguard to chase down Captain Wolf in order to rescue Rook after he was kidnapped. (Aka, my temporary character when he was gone.) Former gang member. Criminal with strict morals. Has more common sense than the entire Vanguard put together. Still isn't entirely sure whether or not they regret taking this job.
W - Wymond of Oryn [RTQ/ATQH]
(he/him) Fallon's biological father. Member of a low-level noble house from the neighboring kingdom of Oryn. A lying, traitorous piece of shit who is directly responsible for the death of Fallon's mother. The only thing he and Fallon have in common is their eyes.
X - Xavier Blackthorne [RTQ/ATQH]
(he/him) Fallon's emotional father, even though she would deny this. Her mother's personal guard before her death, now the captain of Fallon's guard. The nicest man you'll ever meet. Has a habit of collecting strays. No biological kids, but the strongest dad energy in all of Anvia.
Y - ?
Z - Zenara "Zen" Raventhorn [D&D]
(they/them) Tiefling fiend warlock. The first dnd character I ever played. An accidental result of my Mighty Nein obsession. Occasionally gets possessed by their patron and wakes up in the middle of a mess with surprise new powers as an "apology".

i agree that takes on here abt shipping are often reductive and worth criticizing but some of u making fun of people for being "fandom brained" are you yourselves so immersed in fanfiction culture you are seemingly unaware of the existence of the romance genre. not merely that you do not read romance, but that even the concept of two characters' romantic relationship being the focus of a story is completely unheard of to you. idk how to tell you this but in many Real Life Published Books, shipping is also the plot. yes the entire plot. dozens of people worldwide, several of whom likely don't read ANY fanfiction, enjoy stories about romantic relationships. i do feel its odd that so many ppl on here pretend to have this extremely shallow idea of what themes and topics can be explored in romance (hint: it is equally versatile and as worth exploring as any other genre) in order to make a good dunk on fandom people or whatever. god forbid someone openly like reading and writing about romantic relationships!!! especially if that's one of the only things they like, cant be having a reader who knows what they like and seeks it out, because they arent doing it with enough shame and deference to my tastes as i would like!! their barbarous repetitive ship dynamics our blessed reoccurring themes and motifs etc

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.
Tumblr media
like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.
#replaying the game aggaaaiinnnn#now with full appreciation for foreshadowingggg#omori#omori spoilers#raven rambles#.....should probably have like a tag specifically for playing incase people wanna block it lmfao#raven plays omori#fr though he has a great memory until he forgets minor details like he was designed to help sunny forget everything#goddddddd it kinda makes you wonder though how much of it he's aware of#it's implied he still remembers basil after deep well. but I dont know if he's aware he's actively causing everyone else's#memory of him to disappear. like yeah yeah deep well is designed to make him forget too. he set himself up#to make sure sunny never reached blackspace. the loop resets if they fail. if they die#but the whole branch coral dialogue makes it seem like yes. omori is still very aware of basil's existence.#I have a lot of thoughts on deep well.#and especially omori not really realizing he's the one sending basil to blackspace because in past loops it was stranger who confronted him#his guilt of leaving basil is the one thing still tying sunny to the real world. mari is dead. he can't do anything about that except forge#basil is still alive.#as long as he remembers that basil exists#he will keep unknowingly dragging himself back to blackspace. blackspace would stay hidden if stranger wasnt haunting him lmao#he starts the loop by sending him there and then follows through on it by searching for him because he's not yet aware its his own fault#idk it's. aaaaaaaaaaaa#the hug in the true ending is everything to meeeeeee#I have a lot of thoughts about blackspace too but not right nowww thats an essay for much laterrrrr#there's just something about the “deity forgets theyre a deity and rediscovers it later and denies it and forgets again” that kills me#ESPECIALLY WITH THE FUCKING TIME LOOP#and then there's the route additions. he can accept it but he'll try to fight sunny to end it one final time#looooookkkk I'm veryyyy norMALLL ABOUT THIS GAAAAME#hylia and omori remind me of each other in their sort of ignorance of their own power. hylia being the reincarnations of zelda#see it all loops back to just Tropes I Fucking Love#there's a pattern here. do you see the pattern?

“The mess she created” we just gonna sit here and act like all of this isn’t Henry’s fault… putting the fault on an innocent 14 year old girl who was abused for her powers like how tf was she supposed to know that opening a portal to the upside down was gonna lead to consequences 💀 she was trapped in that lab for so many years plus that’s on Henry because he’s the one fucking around and she shouldn’t make up for his actions.

what do you consider the heart of californication? like really carries through the series & makes it compelling
thank you for this question, i really love it. to me, it's a number of things, starting with that the show cares deeply about hank and takes him seriously in a way that the culture doesn't. in a way, yes, he's their dog and pony show with the funny one-liners and the salacious pull. but the arc of the series is unequivocally aligned with him and his desires and his needs and his values.
hank wants to be with his family, wants to be better for them, wants to not let them down- and the show needs him to fail at all of those things. for the dog and pony of it all, for their viewership and for their thesis and for the food in their mouths, but it simultaneously feels bad that he is failing. simultaneously knows that this isn't what he wants, and that it's sad. and it can be as simple as a dream sequence or a look or a quiet final scene, but every single episode is ultimately going to remind you that everything you're laughing at is a loss.
which, like i said at the top, speaks to a level of respect that the show had for the character that is just gone in discussions of the series. they take the time to recognize that he is missing something. he is losing something and he is without everything that means anything to him, this is the cost. equally important, duchovny respects that character and understands the same.
i was listening to an interview last night (trish you heard this) where he was speaking with some podcast dudebros and one of the hosts said that he always wanted to be just like hank moody, and then he made some "bad decisions" and got there, and he doesn't like it. and duchovny said that every time people come up to him saying "i'm just like hank moody," he says "i'm sorry."
men watch and they want to be just like hank moody and women watch and they want to fuck hank moody so bad, and all of you miss what the source comprehends: that it's an irreparable deficit.
other than that, i feel like what roots that show is that it really isn't all that cynical. not in the way that it could be. and the show believes in hank.
there is a lot of kindness and hope (often false hope) that runs underneath most every relationship and interaction and dynamic in the series and i really really appreciate that about it. it's like in the pilot when hank is being mean and he wants marcy to yell at him and she just says "go home, honey. sleep it off. tomorrow's another day."
there's always a little bit of understanding and grace amongst the crazies and i think there's something really special about that
#gave up on this <3 you're gonna pick up what i put down. i trust#people on this show love each other. that's the heart of californication#at the end of s3 when one of the women that hank had slept with (felicia) says 'it's all done with great affection' about#them dragging him to HELLLLLLL all day lol#'come here. be happy in new york.'#and she goes back in to her husband. happy and laughing#that's just one of my favorite scenes because everyone on the show wants the best for each other#and it isn't just people being lenient and softer than deserved with hank#he is extremely loving to family/friends/random women#and all of the characters are so good and thoughtful to each other#it's nice in a way that stands out in a sardonic comedy that's reduced to 'tits and ass'#there is so much compassion and care cycling through everybody#that's what carries the series for ME. and i don't think i could really explain it further#even random scenes like lew ashby coming into the bathroom to talk to becca when she's sobbing and won't let her mom in#there isn't any reason for him to do that. it isn't because he wants to fuck karen. it isn't because he's a particularly charitable person.#it's because it's his buddy's kid and he wants her to feel better#i don't think there's a character on the show who wouldn't do that for bec or for the core 4 or for mia#but anyway i know what you mean and i think those things are mainly what grounds it#that it's ultimately compassionate and that it respects its lead#californication

Can I just say that I feel it’s a little odd that the Mystic Seller just rips Narinder from whatever afterlife he went to just to give him up as a prize?
I get that game-play wise this was to allow people who chose to kill him post-battle access to a unique follower that would have been unobtainable before, but story-wise it just has me like ??? Why did they do that???
Idk maybe I’m missing something, but was anyone else sorta weirded out by this part of the game?
#I know the simple answer is that it’s the reward the lamb gets for restoring order#but I feel like the intensity of what the seller gives the lamb after they complete their mission varies greatly#depending on whether or not the player spared Narinder after his boss battle or not#if you chose to spare him the sellers like “#ok here’s a statue of your predecessor#but then if you previously killed him they just drag the man himself kicking and screaming back to the land of the living#giving him as a gift to his killer#two very different rewards for the same job and it just has me like 🫢#idk I just always felt this potential segment of the game was kinda nasty#and it just makes me think the seller has some vendetta against Narinder personally#or maybe I’m missing or forgetting something hmm#side note: I know I’ve been rambling about this but I have actually never seen this interaction with the seller with my own eyes#I found out that this was a thing from the wiki because I refuse to kill Narinder since it’s objectively the worse option#and because it’s the worse option most people spare him as well for the natural immortality trait#but now I’m having trouble finding footage of when the seller gifts him to the Lamb#because everyone spares him#so now I’m wondering if the seller just throws his ass on the ground or just holds him flailing upside down before finally dropping him#kinda like when the lamb is running to put a follower in the stocks#cult of the lamb#mystic seller#cotl narinder#my post
