#grey's cd rips

[carbuckety]

Demo for Rattled.

This is my favorite of all the demos. George keeps saying "rattled" when it's the others' turns and he's just the cutest!! Also, wow, Roy only has 1 line but he puts everything he's got into it. Can anyone tell what they say at the beginning?

[bearyzdiary]

Merry (late) Christmas, hope you got lots of fun gifts (I unfortunately did not get a handsome emo Swedish boy under my tree this year :(( ) !!

Anyhow, I have an idea, Y/N & Simon sharing their first kiss... under the mistletoe!! >:D

Minty chapstick

Simon x reader

This diary entry contains…kissing | established relationship | fluff | reader is super silly |

ANOTHER REQUESTTTT!!!my Christmas was amazing but it would have been better if Simon was under my tree😓ANYWAY I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS!!

This was supposed to come out obviously WAYY SOONER BUT I GOT HIT WITH A HUGEEE WRITERS BLOCK! PLEASE SEND IN MORE REQUESTS IM RUNNING LOW ON IDEAS🙏🏾🙏🏾

Christmas time was most people’s favorite time of the year,The decorating,The chilly weather and the presents from Santa were always the best.

It would your first Christmas with Simon.You had one main goal for the night was to steal a kiss from him underneath the mistletoe.

You and him never really had your first real kiss yet,The two of you rarely saw each during the week because of school and important day to day life things.

You realized you guys never kissed when all your friends were talking about their first kisses with their partner but when it came to you,You were completely stumped.

It wasn’t like Simon didn’t want to kiss you,he really did but could never find a proper time to.You always wanted to make the first move but just when your about to lean in,he either has to go or you chicken out.

Well that was gonna change this year as you made it to it number one goal to kiss Simon underneath a mistletoe.You went out a day before Simon was supposed to come over which would be on Christmas Eve.

You went to your local store and was able to snag one early in the morning since most people are still sleep by the time the store was first open.

You smile at the store clerk who rings you up.You notice a tube of your favorite mint chapstick.You grab it before handing it to the girl behind the counter who happily scans it.

“Busy morning for you I guess?I never seen someone come this early”The girl speaks up as she bags your two items before tossing in a candy cane.

“I had to get in some early shopping before everyone woke up and the store became crowded”You say while pulling out your card.

The girl nodded,Watching you carefully swipe your card.”You know,Mint chapstick and a mistletoe?Let me guess trying to kiss a certain someone underneath it”The girl asked while watching your receipt print out before ripping it off the machine and placing it in the bag and pushing the bag towards you.

“My boyfriend,It’s our first Christmas together and I just wanted to have a special moment in it”You say while grabbing the bag,Smiling at the clerk.she just nodded before giving you a small smile back.

The walk back home was pretty quiet.most people were still sleeping or just didn’t wanna go out yet.you were a little nervous for tomorrow.what if it doesn’t go well? What if he doesn’t wanna kiss or even worse…what if he hates your mint chapstick.

You loved this brand of chapstick not only because the smell and taste isn’t too strong and it leaves your lips feeling soft and smooth.Of course,Your thoughts were interrupted when you almost walked past your own house.

Once you were inside,You tossed the bag on the couch while taking your coat off and hanging it on the rack.Your main plan was to prepare the mistletoe and to work on Simon’s gifts.You had gotten him some new cds,a new hoodie and a bottle of cologne.

Nothing to fancy just some things you knew he wanted.You went to your room and got changed into a comfy pair of pajamas and got to work.Setting up the mistletoe to was pretty easy.You knew the best place to put it was the hallway leading to your bedroom and other rooms.

The next things were to wrap his gifts.You got on the pretty black and grey wrapping paper and sat down on the floor,You grabbed a pair of scissors and some tape before turning on a Christmas movie.

You forgot how hard it is to wrap gifts but managed to get most of them wrapped.once you were done you slid them underneath your nicely decorated tree.You smile as you stand up and clean up.You didn’t the time as you look and see it would be around the time you would make dinner.

You didn’t feel like making anything big and just settled on a cup of noodles.finishing up your movie and your food you sat on your couch thinking about Simon’s reaction to his gifts.

You knew he would love them mostly because you’ve caught him staring at them when you guys went out.you stare at the now empty cup before placing it on your coffee table and changing the channel to something else.

You ended up falling asleep while watching a random kids show.You didn’t even clean up your mess or anything as you were too tired to even get up.

By the time you did wake up,It was around 8 and Simon was supposed to be there around 10.You silently cursed to yourself as you shot up off your couch and started to pick up your trash.

You took a small shower,Nothing too fancy as you still needed to clean up your room.Once you were out the shower and were in clean pajamas you put things back in their proper place in your room.

You made up your bed and put everything back in the proper place before you heard a small knock on your front door.You looked at the clock to see it was 10:15.You didn’t worry too much as you got most of the chores you needed to do done.

You rushed to the front door,Your Santa slippers you bought squeaking slightly and you took a peak out the peephole and nearly let out a squeal as you undid the locks on your door and threw yourself at Simon,Wrapping your arms around him as he let out a small chuckle while patting your back.

“You missed me?you just saw me like two days ago”He said while walking in while you followed behind and closed your door.”two days?it felt like forever…”You say dramatically as you redo the locks.

Simon rolled his eyes slightly before plopping on your couch and sighing.”I like your tree,My mom hasn’t put ours up mostly because of how much of a hassle it is putting it up and taking it down”he said while leaning his head on the armrest staring up at you.

You shrug while shuffling to the kitchen.”I mostly keep mine up until I have the energy to take it down.”You say while looking in the fridge.You felt your stomach do flips as you grab a coke from the fridge and pop it open and take a small sip before closing your fridge and turning around.

You looked at the mistletoe hanging above the hallway before looking at Simon who was busy staring at the television,Watching the Christmas program on it.

Your eyes flicked through the two before giving yourself a small pep talk in your head about how easy it would be.

You move out of the kitchen into the hallway before positioning yourself underneath it.”Simonnn”You called out while rocking back and fourth on your feet.he turned his focus to you before making a small confused face.You motion him to come towards you which he does with a small groan.

“What is it?”He asks while placing his cold hands on your waist which made you get all giddy inside before you looked up,His eyes following also before you felt his grasp on your waist get tighter before looking back down at you.

“I wanted our first kiss to be special!so I went out a bought a mistletoe yesterday.”You say while wrapping your arms around his neck.You were a little bit scared to lean in until you saw Simon slowly start to lean in,You followed his lead before you felt his chapped lips press up against your much more smoother ones.

You closed your eyes as you pressed your lips harder.You felt your heart beat a bit faster and your head spin a little.you felt Simon’s grip on your waist get tighter before he pulled away.

“Was that good?”He asked while pulling away a little more.You nodded as you into his brown eyes before smiling.”It was perfect”You say while twirling a piece of his hair around your finger.”are you wearing mint chapstick?it tastes kinda nice…wait that sounds kinda weird”Simon rambled on before slightly cringing at the last thing he said.

You just giggle before shaking your head.”I actually bought it just for this occasion,I’m glad to know you like it.”You say while placing a small kiss on the corner of his lips.

The Christmas season had gotten a whole lot better as you spent the rest of the day making cookies,listening to music and watching the Christmas program that was set for that night.Now the next time you hung out with your friend and the mention of first kisses is brought up you have a good story to tell.

[crusherthedoctor]

I can't really argue against writing out of spite anymore, because it's grown to fuel mine like A Generous Backer fueled Mighty No. 9 (the joke is that there's four hours worth of it).

Eggman being the uncontested big bad of a serious story with dramatic stakes? Spite towards him always getting screwed over in serious plots, with Forces being the single exception.

Eggman being at his most ruthless yet? Spite towards how fans (and various official works) choose to portray him.

Starline's inclusion with his original simp persona? Spite towards them throwing out a refreshing concept in favor of turning him into Toothpaste Snively.

Sonic getting riled up by Eggman's increasingly cruel actions, across more than one scene instead of a minute at most? Spite towards the notion that Sonic is apathetic towards Eggman than he is with other villains due to their long history (or in IDW terms, the idea that Sonic VS Eggman is "too routine" and that shittier villains who aren't even that powerful are required to shake things up).

Emphasis on Sonic CD-esque visuals for the zones? Spite towards Grass Simulator 2022.

Amy's friendly banter dynamic with Sonic? Spite towards fans who are somehow unable to find a middle ground between 2000s Amy and Current Amy.

Tails actually doing things? Spite towards him always being nerfed by fans, if not being made to be outright useless and always needing to be defended by Sonic or Shadow because "he's just a kid".

Trudy actually doing things? Spite towards the notion that OCs should never interact with the official cast in any meaningful way.

Trudy having some femininity? Spite towards Flynn's insistence that femininity = lesser.

Bringing back Trudy's previously unused cape despite possible comparisons to Whisper? Spite towards fans who accuse her of ripping off every comic character under the sun regardless, even though she predates the whole IDW cast.

Juxtaposing a bright and whimsical setting with a story that grows gradually darker than it initially appears? Spite towards the notion that things always have to look overtly grey or "realistic" (quotation marks because the actual real world is still plenty more vibrant than how fans frame it) on the surface in order to write the latter. I know the very first scene is Metal Sonic tearing down G.U.N. headquarters in a fiery blaze, that was supposed to be an early hint that things will get intense.

Mario fic where Eggman still weasels his way into the main villain role anyway? Spite towards fans who think the guy who builds Death Stars every Tuesday would be a sitting duck in other universes.

[REDACTED]? Spite towards Twitter. They can boo all they want, I've seen what makes them cheer. :P

The key, of course, is that you shouldn't be motivated solely by spite, because when that's the only thing motivating you, then it just becomes draining. I write all of these with genuine passion and love as well, because that's where the meat of the fun lies. Most of them were already set in stone due to personal preference, long before I had reason to add spite into the equation. :P

A few more Headquarters song spotlights...

“Band 6 as you may remember was the Warner Brothers cartoon theme. Michael was learning pedal steel and played a little bit on it and we did this thing where Mike and I went, 'da, da dum…' and Micky’s going (makes crazy sounds) on the drums and it was absurd. Then Chip Douglas, who was our producer said, 'I think you got it Micky' and we burst into all together at the same speed and at the same time and ripped through it to our amazed surprise and joy. The fact that we were able to find a way to make that part of the record, that to me was the point of Headquarters. It was us wild guys, us crazy kids, doing the best we knew how with what we had. I listen to that album now and it’s tinny and a little bit like a teenage garage band and we weren’t teenagers any longer at that point but it had that teenage garage band vibe. It wasn’t as slick as the first two albums. I think things like Band 6 and Zilch and the fact that we were making the arrangements of these songs ourselves as we went on through it. I particularly remember working out the piano introduction to Shades of Grey and doing some arrangement ideas on Mr. Webster. I remember all that stuff and that was the great joy of it for me. Making the record and just being part of the overall creative process from the ground up; that’s what I live for.” - Peter Tork, Rock Cellar Magazine, 2016 “You Just May Be The One” features Peter on bass. And as for “I Can’t Get Her Off My Mind”: “Playing the tack piano was fun; that barrelhouse thing. It was a lot of fun playing [different] instruments on [Headquarters].” - Peter Tork, Headquarters CD liner notes “‘No Time’ was just a Chuck Berry rip-off. We assigned it to Hank [Cicalo], who got into a little trouble about it, because engineers are not supposed to solicit songs. When RCA saw his name on the thing they thought, ‘God, he solicited this tune.’ He had to go in there and explain it to them. It was just a tip.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters CD liner notes

The Chain as things that I did/have happened to me in December

⚠️Cw: very brief mention of alcohol near the end. Stay safe besties!!⚠️

Please take your time answering this, there is absolutely no rush! Your mental and physical health come first!

Four- Forgot his friends got their fire privileges taken away for being stupid. Got all of them candles for the holidays.

Legend- Got the piercing he’s been wanting/complaining about for years without telling his friends. Walked into a holiday party with them and surprised them. He also did this after he dyed his hair purple in a foreign country 6 months prior to this. (Bonus: Got a paper cut on his tongue from a holiday card he sent out with his roommates)

Sky- Handed out flyers for a medical study on a college campus he doesn’t attend as a favor for a friend and not one, not two, but SEVEN people from the same on campus religious organization came up to him and asked if he knew God loves him. After the 3rd person, he started lying to them and came up with different fake stories each time. Felt kind of bad for lying to them.

Wars- Left his room to get water at 3:30 AM, came back and heard rustling noises from inside, immediate assumed someone had broken in, and grabbed a roll of wrapping paper in case he needed to defend himself. Forgot his cat taught herself how to open doors.

Wild- Ran barefoot and in jeans in a race with his friends. Fell and ate shit on the concrete. Ruined his knees, hands, foot and ripped holes in the jeans/one of his socks. Was more upset about losing the race than the giant bruises and scrapes. This was on the first day of the month and the bruises STILL haven’t fully gone away.

Wind- Went to the beach twice in the span of a three days. Had a staring contest with a seagull and won the first time and watched in horror as a kid grabbed a hand full of sand and ATE IT the second.

Hyrule- Consumed his first big boy cup of alcohol and he found out he was a “sit and zone out facing a wall” drunk. Zoned back in and wrote an essay on the medical inaccuracy in Grey’s Anatomy and other medical shows and how it can be harmful for funsies.

Twilight- Choked on a piece of cheese because his friend made him laugh. Swears up and down he knows how to chew. (Bonus: Let his friends give him tattoos on his back and arms with body markers and THEY WOULDN’T COME OFF. Panicked because he was SUPPOSED to meet his brother’s girlfriend’s family the next day.)

Time- A younger friend called a vinyl record a CD and he got so viscerally upset he threw his phone across the room. (Bonus: He was gardening and picked up a pot that was stacked in another pot. He didn’t see there was a giant lizard in it so when he picked up the pot and it jumped at him, he screamed like a little girl and dropped the pot. His wife won’t stop making fun of him.)

Happy New Year!! I hope 2025 brings more silly stories to everyone!! -🗓️🌀

IM CRYING AT WIND AND TIME'S.

also oh my god Wars is so me, I've gotten up to use the bathroom and come back to something moving in the shadows and almost had a panic attack just to realize it is in fact my son (dog) trying to figure out where i went

Twisted Wonderland x oc art and oneshots:

Day 1: Lydia Rune (not really art)

Picrewの「SD メーカー」でつくったよ！ https://picrew.me/share?cd=ilMkMTyEdA #Picrew #SD_メーカー

So I know this might not be art or a oneshot, but the actual art takes a bit of a while, so here get this for the first day before I make you suffer with my art practice.

Lydia Yuina Rune is a girl who has been reincarnated ten times, with Twisted Wonderland being her 11th life. Her soul is weak, not dead enough to die, but not strong enough to have a good life. She has dead and shineless eyes and her emotions are practically nonexistent, one state she is in constantly is being tired.

She is diffrent from the in game Yuu, starting with what the mirror said:

In the game its mentioned that Yuu's soul has no shape, no colour.

In Lydia's version the mirror just denies she has a soul and the reason no one wonders about that is because Grim caused way to great of a chaos for such a thing to be remembered.

Lydia's soul is because of that also to weak to fence of ghost, so everyone with some mild knowledge of possession could easily get her thrown out of her body, but they don't.

In my au, Lydia is also a ghost, a regespiravit. A soul/ghost who has been through a reincarnation is to be left alone. (Dying and living again) Lydia being reincarnated for about 10 times and still holding up a body has made her gain some major respect from most of the ghost.

Beasts, beastmen, merfolk, magical objects or even some type of fae, might be able to notice she is not alive enough. The first time she met Lilia (in the cafeteria), he was actually surprised to notice she seemed to not exist next to her friends.

Grim and her get along greatly of course, but even the grey feline knows Lydia is weird.

She has scars from her past deaths, with the last one being her littarly ripped apart, so if she would wear a bikini on a beach you could compere her to Frankenstein, because her scars are draped around her in a way that makes it seem like her limbs were stitched together again.

She is magicless, or at least things she is. In exchange for her not being allowed to rest, she was given a hypnotising singing voice, which she rarely uses cause she can't sing.

Song: Dance and Cry, by Mother Mother

Enjoy some pre tape shenanigans

-------

"𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘵?"

Aodhagán rummaged around his bag, hand closing around the soft fabric within. He pulled it out and held it in one hand as he trudged up the steep hill, his fingers tracing the seams.

"𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯."

He reached the top of the grassy mound and heaved a sigh of relief. He stuffed what was in his hands into his pocket and reached within the bag again, taking the blanket from within and placing it down on the ground. He collapsed onto it, staring up at the sky.

"𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘐'𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦."

He sighed and gently removed his sketchbook and pencil from his bag, flipping it open on an empty page and sitting up. His pencil rested on the rough paper, his mind racing.

"𝘐𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘐'𝘥 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴. 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭- 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘩𝘮?"

The pencil only hovered for a second more before he gritted his teeth and slammed the book shut, stuffing it back into the depths of the backpack. He didn't hesitate before ripping the soft pink fabric from his pocket and stepping into the skirt, removing his trousers underneath before zipping it up.

"𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳.. 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴."

Aodhagán stood and stepped away from the blanket, the bag resting atop. He strained his mind to think of a song, some music.

That gentle song, number 8 on his cd, whatever its name was. Slow and calm and furious. The opening notes echoed in his mind, a gentle hum accompanying them. He felt his body moving.

His arms seemed to sway aimlessly as he spun, feeling the wind hit the skirt and make it lift slightly. His legs felt unsteady and uncertain but he moved them anyway, thinking of those elegant dancers on television.

They swung their arms around their heads, like they were a moving painting- sweetly and dramatically posed all at once. Those dancers, with years of experience and training. Did they ever feel like this? So angry and lost and upset, whilst feeling numb to everything?

He felt himself lose his balance, placing a hand down to save himself before standing upright again, the music shifting to another song- something more delicate and sweet.

Dancers on TV always had a small smile on their face as they glided around the stage, like they were content and happy with themselves and the world. Even if the song was sad, they never looked lost or confused. They remained elegant and pretty- far and away from anything he was.

A drop of water hit his face, followed by another and another. He blinked, noticing the world around him again. The sky was dark with heavy, grey clouds, small droplets of water making the bright hillside seem fuzzy and out of focus.

Still, he kept moving. Was he dancing? Would the world outside perceive him as delicate and beautiful? Something to watch with awe, rather than with fear and suspicion?

He seemed to lighten as the world darkened, his steps seeming only lighter as time went on.

Water streaked down his cheeks and for a moment, he felt himself fancying that the sky was crying for him. Sobbing so that he wouldn't have to, millions of eyes clustering together to pour their misey over him and clean his body of any in the process.

The thought made him smile.

[ID: an unfinished full body drawing of an original character, next to an older, thigh-up drawing of him. in the full body, she stands with a hand on her hip, the other undrawn with an arrow reading "book with finger holding open" to describe what would be there. in the old drawing, he leans on a waist-height surface, her other hand raised flipping off someone unseen. he smiles, looking off to the side, in both.

Appearance: she has peach-tone skin, grey hair with black roots and tips, facial moles, and a bat silhouette across her forehead where eyebrows would be. The hair is styled back-combed, spiky and big, with spiky Lydia-like bangs and a long straight mullet pulled forward over both shoulders. He has gothic eye make-up and smudged black lipstick, wearing a single black coffin earring, nipple piercings, and dimple piercings.

She wears a ripped black mesh shirt under a corset showing ribs, a spine, and pelvic bone about where they would be on his body, and a pleated maroon mini skirt. Under the skirt, he wears a longer mesh skirt and maroon fishnets. Lastly, her shoes are stiletto ankle boots with 2 buckles and laces tied in nooses. end ID]

YIPPEE for OC-tober! This is my favorite OC of mine, Drax (also Laura, Dracula, or full name Draculaura)! This fag was my he/she bigender awakening (he's a little aged, but I still absolutely adore her 🫀🫀)

She was made for a paranormal research team, along with OCs made by a group of friends (inc. @bensiskos and @littlegreenfags), that researched things like ghosts, aliens, bigfoot, and mothman! Together, they try to study these canonical phenomenon and prove their existence to a skeptical public, all while living in a van together so they can travel the continent for said research!

He's like the asshole older brother from a kid's show and a protective older sister at the same time. Never getting enough sleep, she's also more of a nerd than her appearance would let on. When they're stopped in a town, the library is his favorite place to be, doing tons of research in her free time and reading gothic literature and horror pulp fiction. Other things he likes:

parking lots at night

gas stations

5-hour energy

being taller than other people, esp guys that look down on his swagful femme self (can't look down if ur forced to look up)

punk, goth rock, death metal, and any loud music made by nobodies in a garage.

collecting CDs from random underground shows

working audio recording equipment (did tech for high school theatre and is responsible for working the research recording equipment presently)

getting morally grey with it

his friends <3

FEEL FREE to send me asks about about Laura, or any of the OCs i post about this month!!!!! i love him so much. i hope u like him too :-)

[memory-and-sky]

i think gauze by dir en grey is the best visual kei album ever. of course, i haven’t listened to every visual kei album ever, though i’ve listened to a good amount of them to be fair. yes, buck tick has iconic songs, as does any band. so does malice mizer.

but gauze is just such an emotionally moving and amazing album, so many songs on there made me want to rip my heart out, claw at my hair and cry in a ball in the corner. it’s so beautiful and the hour or so of listening is so worth it. i wish i had it on vinyl or CD, i want a physical version of it so so soooo bad.

it’s a perfect album.

[carbuckety]

Demo for End Of The Line.

This is the most drastically different demo from the finished product out of all of them, I think, aside from Dirty World. The lyrics are still unfinished so there's a lot of silences, and a couple of lines are changed.

[televinita]

Am listening to Taylor Swift music again, and have been seized by the need to talk through some of her older albums -- favorite songs, personal history, whatever comes to mind. Maybe in yet another attempt to try and figure out my overall fave / ranking of them as a set? No real order is planned for this so I thought I’d start with this one, because I realized I actually hadn’t listened to it in quite some time.

(I don't really know what this mini-project is going to be but I’ve been noodling on it for a few nights and now seems as good a time as any to share.)

Background/Overview

When it was new -- and a 2010 Christmas present for me -- it was my favorite of the three, but now I'm not sure. The thing is that it has several songs I like better than the entirety of Fearless (except for #1 fave Change), but it also has a handful I find less interesting compared to that one’s “13 track listings, stars beside them all” success, and I can’t decide how to weight that. It does absolutely have the prettiest cover and booklet, though.

Songs

Ask me my favorite song on this album and I’ll say without hesitation Long Live. I don’t think that will ever change; it’s in my all-time-faves across her whole discography. The twin/companion piece to Change, it never fails to make my heart sing. It came out after I was an adult but it still makes me nostalgic and occasionally teary as hell for high school. Bonus association: this was my mental soundtrack for the end of Glee season 3 too (”for a moment, a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans got to rule the world").

Runner-up faves are Haunted, which really lives up to its name (Wuthering Heights-haunted style, maybe... between the electric guitar tearing open the scene and the chimes, the instrumentation is epic; this may be the only song that actually loses emotional impact as an acoustic/piano version), Better Than Revenge (which is my not-even-that-guilty pleasure and I will JAM OUT to it to this day; "no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity" is SAVAGE and I love it), and The Story of Us ("looks like a lot like a tragedy now" is one of my favorite quotes to bust out in episode reviews about ‘ship destruction, or was when I still did those), which is similarly jam-out-worthy. Ooh, and Sparks Fly is one of those songs where I'm like, "WHY wasn't this a single, it's so good." I’m actually always kind of surprised that one isn’t the album opener; “my mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea” is my anthem for giving shows/ships/characters/episodes way more chances than they deserve. (Grey’s Anatomy. We’re mostly talking about every time I dip back into the Grey’s Anatomy waters). In slow-songs-I-like territory: Enchanted, which is frankly too pretty for the person it’s actually about (but helpfully easy to apply to anyone and relevant to every listener’s life). And Back to December, which suffers rather unjustly from my knowing that it’s about The Boring Taylor, because I used to automatically skip it about half the time, yet every time I actually listen to it I'm shocked to realize it’s way prettier than I remember. Both musically (when male vocals...enhance?? a taylor song??) and lyrically.

As far as the other singles, I kind of killed Mine for myself with overplay, but I do think it's one of the strongest singles she's ever released...and as I’m listening to it now, I think it might be back! What good music, what a sweet scenario, and how much do I love the “brace myself for the goodbye / ‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known...” part.

Mean is fun and deservedly sassy, although it too is recovering from overplay (with the added demerit of being covered in the worst, least appealing possible way on Glee and feeling tainted forever. Once upon a time this was in my top 5 for the CD). Speak Now is fun too, but also...damn, so much more juvenile and mean-spirited to me now than Better Than Revenge. You don't help a dude ditch his bride at their wedding! If he shouldn't be marrying her you talk to him BEFORE THE CEREMONY???? I have definitely lost enchantment with this one over time.

One I don’t know how to feel about: I have to be in the right mood for the song so I don’t always let it play through, but as a late bloomer homebody and perpetual looker-backer, the second half of Never Grow Up really kicked me in the heart when I first heard it. I thankfully never ended up having to experience this, but "here I am in my / new apartment in the big city / they just dropped me off / it's so much colder than I thought it would be / so I tuck myself in, and turn the nightlight on" really described all my deepest fears about graduating from college and still brings a twinge at the mere thought.

On the downturn: unpopular opinion but while Dear John is full of great lyrics, it’s just so damned slow that I skip it almost every time. I’m really hoping it gets reinvigorated by a Taylor’s Version, because whenever I give it a chance, I just end up freshly disappointed by the wasted potential.

Innocent is slightly more compelling music-wise, but still rather slow and often skipped, not least because it just...feels weird. Uneven. There are some great lines and a good idea buried in here, but with its history and context it's so patronizing even when I’m on Taylor’s side that it ends up cringe.

Meanwhile, Last Kiss doesn't even exist to me. It covers the same criminal territory as Back to December but it's EVEN SLOWER. Bonus Tracks I didn't hear them until the end of 2012 and even then only as standalones on Spotify, separate from the album associations, I absolutely love all three, more than the last 5 or 6 above in fact. Ours is the companion piece / sequel to "Mine," If This Were A Movie is sweet, and Superman is so cute and catchy.

A small addition: It's illegal to have the content you ripped from the cd/dvd as a background music on video or a stream or stream it in a public setting (on Discord or as a part of your own otherwise public stream/video) even though you own the cd/dvd/blu-ray. The copyright of the content itself is still property of the creator and you need to have a permission from them to use it in public. So yes, you can make a copy of the cd/dvd/blu-ray to yourself but you can't spread or use the content it in any way in public.

I know gifs and fan videos fall into somewhat grey area but it seems that the creators usually take it more as free advertising since the full content isn't being spread in those.

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

Disturbing version of Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Animal Crossing is one of my guilty pleasures when it comes to gaming, and I decided to make the jump from the DS version and buy City Folk for the Wii. I decided to go down to a local Video Game + DVD store that opened up downtown. Upon talking to the clerk, I found the wall for Wii games, with a weird group of unlabeled games near them. I was told that the store will buy used games for a small price, and sometimes re-sell ones that appear to be in working conditions. I ended up buying the game. It had a white jewel case, similar to a PS1 game, and a blank label that was pretty much a white piece of paper with "ANIMAL CROSSING WII" on it. I took the game home, and opened up the case. From the start, I figured something was up. The game appeared to be burned onto a Memorex CD. I turned on the Wii, and here's when things started getting weird.

The game started up normally, albeit the "Nintendo" logo was a dark shade of grey, and there weren't any animal voices speaking it. I started a new game, and noticed that Rover (the purple cat) only spoke parentheses, and had the default sad/worried facial expression stuck on his face. I was greeted with the bus intro, where Kapp'n drives you to your city, and asks you questions. However, the bus seemed to be stopped, as there was no animation or sound. Dialogue boxes popped up at the bottom of the screen. "Who Are You?", "What Gender Are You?" appeared. At this point, I figured that it was either an in-development version, or some sort of rip with limited sound and stuff. The third question came up and startled me. "Where Did They Send You?". At that point, it gave three options, which were simply "A", "B", and "C". I pressed A, and the game cut to black, and then opened with my character near the front gate. The weather was rainy, but the volume of rain seemed to be increased significantly. I didn't see Tom Nook at all, or anyone else. I explored the town, and saw some pretty weird things.

I first tried to find Tom Nook and start the job tutorial, but couldn't find him. I entered Nook's Cranny. All of the items in the store were mannequins (ripped from the city's store), clothing, and various letters "From Mom". I wasn't able to touch any of the letters, but the clothing seemed to be free, as if they were dropped there. When I put them on, they looked like existing clothing patterns, but with (what I assume is) blood spattered on them. This disturbed me. I figured that the game had to have been some sort of modified .ISO, similar to how people can change colors and text with SSB:B, and other titles. I left Nook's Cranny, and noticed that upon attempting to re-enter, the door gets locked, and gives the player the following message: "Stop disturbing us.". I walked far away, and walked into the town hall/post office. The lights seemed dimmer, and Tortimer was the clerk, instead of Pelly/Phyllis. Tortimer automatically spoke. "Why are you here?", with clouds appearing over his head, a sign of an NPC being sad. I wasn't able to make him move, so the post office was disabled. I looked in the garbage pickup box, and the inventory was filled with clothes, fishing rods, slingshots, and more letters from Mom. I exited, but re-entered to make sure that the Nook's Cranny problem wasn't there. I was able to go back in, but Tortimer wasn't there, and all the lights were turned off. I exited, and it began to thunder outside. The landscape started to change. Weeds were visible as far as the eye could see, and many of the trees were replaced with Rafflesia plants, with flies buzzing around them. I walked to the right side of the map, and saw a group of houses. Only three or four. When entering them, it's easy to tell that the houses are wayyy different from in game.

The windows in the houses are boarded up, and trash cans fill the room. They had two NPC's each, which were nondescript cats. Their eyes had no pupils, and when speaking to them, they would turn their backs to you and say "WHYISTHISHAPPENING", with more rainclouds appearing above their heads. After speaking to them, I was kicked out of the houses. The screen cut to black, and faded with me towards the beach. Tom Nook appeared, and gave the usual, normal routine that players go through when beginning the game. I had to wait 2-3 minutes for my char to automatically follow him across town. I got to my house, and entered. The floor and wallpaper were white. No pattern, no texture. Just the color white. I wasn't able to go upstairs, as a "Don't. Please." message appeared. I exited the house, and Tom Nook just stood there, giving me a message consisting of parentheses. The game faded to white, and I heard the "NINTENDO" voice.

I was pissed at this point. I was disturbed, but I can't say I was scared, simply because I assumed it was an odd modification of the game by whomever previously owned it. The game started up in the same exact way. My save was gone! I had to go through the same routine again. When exploring the town, I noticed that the previous houses were gone. I was able to enter Nook's Cranny, but realized something odd. The outfit near one of the mannequins was the same as the one I previously wore, and had a letter near it. I picked it up, and it read "I'm so sorry. Nobody deserves this." I exited the store, and Tom Nook was waiting outside. He gave the same parentheses message as before, and the game faded to white again.

At this point, I'm surprised that I bothered to do the process AGAIN, but out of curiosity, I did. In THIS save, I was freaked out. My character had a very dark, simplistic face with huge black eyes, and a black mouth, similar to the Gyroids from the original title. Now the post office was gone, and every single tree in the game was replaced with a Rafflesia, or the town flag. I entered Nook's Cranny, and surprise-surprise, another mannequin appeared, with my character's default clothes. I left, and Tom Nook gave a different message. "You kids never learn.". The game faded to white, but when I restarted, it appeared normal.

The game had a normal title screen, but I was instantly able to create a save, and not go through the process of answering Q's, etc. It faded to a Wintery town, with the camera focused on a Gyroid outside a house. I thought that it froze, until a human NPC arrived, with Tom Nook talking to them. The camera then zoomed in on the Gyroid. The Gyroid began to jiggle around and let out a weird sobbing noise. The camera faded to black. After that, I wasn't able to create any more saves. The game froze after the Nintendo logo.

🍂 Cottage Dreaming 🍂

This set started out as a lil project to give my Cottage Living sims more earth-toned clothes to wear. There’s still more pieces that I’d like to do in these same patterns, so who knows, there might be a part two coming later! But for now, while it’s still autumn, here’s a set with 15 clothes recolored in tons of patterns!

54 nature/autumn themed pattern swatches that are used for all pieces. These have individual colors for swatch thumbnails.

A random amount of additional nature/autumn themed pattern swatches for each piece. These have light grey swatch thumbnails. (Tbh most of these are the same across different pieces but I didn't notice I was using the same ones until it was too late rip)

12 corduroy patterns for all bottoms. These have individual colors for swatch thumbnails and are listed as the last swatches.

All patterns are from Freepik.

Custom thumbnails.

Not color-tagged! Sorry!

You need to download the meshes for the toddler and child clothes and the Love Spell Dress: Casteru Tied Shirt, Georgiaglm Piper Overalls, KiaraZurk Dress Cardigan, Georgiaglm Flynn Outfit, Trillyke Love Spell Dress.

The other pieces require a certain pack to work. CD = Cats & Dogs / CL = Cottage Living / DHD = Dream Home Decorator / DU = Discover University / GF = Get Famous / TL = Tiny Living.

⚠️ The DHD Overalls don’t show up in CAS with the Custom Content filter (at least for me), but if you uncheck the CC filter and check the Locked filter instead, you should find them in the Overalls section. Idk how to fix this, sorry!

Thank you to the mesh creators: @casteru @georgiaglm @zurkdesign @trillyke

Download: SFS / Dropbox.

Happy Autumn! 🍄

Remember when Gerry was down in the catacombs swinging around a sledgehammer and knocking down walls even though he was like 17 and malnourished? I do. I remember

[Image ID: Three drawings of Gerry Keay from the Magnus archives. To the left of the page he is posed with a sledgehammer, raising it above his head to strike, with a determined but frightened look on his face. His hair is badly dyed black and cut to his shoulders, it is messy and blowing to the right. He wears a mastodon t shirt under a black pullover hoodie, which is ripped to show a bit of his arm underneath, which is bruised. He is wearing ripped black jeans with a studded belt and a chain, the jeans have scattered patches, with drawings of eyes on them. His right knee is bruised and cut, shown through a rip in the jeans, he also has bloodied knuckles on his right hand, and a bruise in the shape of a handprint on his left forearm, like someone grabbed him. He is wearing heavy combat boots.

To the top right, he is drawn from the chest up, looking tiredly off to the right side of the page, his hair is tucked behind his ears. He is saying “my mom knows all about this stuff”

On the bottom right, he is drawn in a leaned back pose, sitting on implied ground, listening to a portable CD player with headphones on. He is wearing the same outfit as before, but without the pullover hoodie, showing more of the bruise on his right arm. The headphones and CD player match, and are both red and grey. There are music notes coming from them, which are jagged, to imply loud metal music. End ID]

i need an excuse to be creative in a non christmas way and this is an easy and quick way to do it!

I'm a control freak and I like things to be a touch perfect or at least well thought out so I'l do quick little blurbs for each member.

Jin - We're going to a food truck fair! I'm wearing girly pop to the core-> cute sneakers, cartigan, mom jeans and a comfy tshirt. He's going to eat to his hearts content while I munch on a hotdog and fries. He'll tell me all about the foods and where they're from and I'll eat up *pun intended* every bit of info before telling him my own knowledge on it. Then we'll get ice cream, take a seat on a bench in a public park (like central park) and people watch while we talk about personal interests until we realise the sun is setting. He'll call me a rideshare, and he'll open the door to the back of it, but before I duck to sit, he'll ask me if I'm free next week sometime. Of course I say yes.

Yoongi - We're going to a quiet, high end, private, mood lit restaurant. I'l be wearing a red wine lip and a black dress, heels to match both. He'll order something fancy and I'll ask him about his work while I tell him about mine. Conversation flows easily and we find out we have a lot more in common than we thought we did. When dessert comes around we'll move on to more personal topics like family and friends between bites of chocolate lava cake. At the end of the night, he takes care of the bill without me knowing, mr "bathroom break" bullshitter, and then he'll drop me off at my place to end the night, to make sure I got home safely.

Hobi - We're going to a local, outdoor arts market. It's huge, plenty of things and art and everything. I'm in my baggy army pants and halterneck, sleeveless grey top, combat boots, and sunnies. There's music and laughs and overall awesome vibes. He's excited for the clothing booths, I'm stoked for stickers and pins, and we walk semi-aimlessly for hours, checking out booths, grabbing an item here or there, and having really fun conversations. Having shopped till we nearly dropped, we choose a higher end burger joint for a bite to eat, and we both order the same thing, except i grab juice while he gets pop and I tell him how carbonated drinks make by brain fuzzy. He laughs at that, and we go on to chat life, work, inspirations and more, ending the evening on a high note.

Joon - We're starting at a coffee shop. I'll order tea while he grabs his own drink. I'll try to pay but he wont let me, insisting he pay. I'm wearing an old band tee with ripped straight jeans and my cons. I have my hair up, pinned with an old paintbrush. We're in my city, so instead of doing one location, I play tour guide and show him all of the hidden gems of the city while continuing out convo from ealier. He'll find some wicked thrifted art thing, I'll find a cute jacket or pants. We'll see the time together coming to an end arounf 4 o'clock and instead of ending it, we choose to continue on and turn our lunch date into lunch and dinner because the conversation is flowing so well and I know a great place down the street.

Tae - I text him to meet me at this really niche little record shop, full to the brim with CDs, vinyls and more. I'm wearing my red, wide leg satin pants with a black, semi-backless, fitted tshirt. I have on my chunky black heels and a belt to hold up the pants because they're way to big on me. He asks where the old jazz is and I show him to the back corner. We chat favourite artists for a while before branching off into life and personal interests. And once we're done, he's found a new vinyl, I'm adding another CD to my collection and we're heading to a showing of an old timey movie. After the movie we choose a hole in the wall restaurant and only order drinks and appys, to busy talking about the film we just saw.

Jimin - Museum date, followed by museum cafe date. I'm in my white, thick tank strapped, vertical blue striped sundress. It has very small slits up the front of the thighs for movement but it gives that little edge of risque I tend to like. I'm also wearing sunnies as a hair accessory to pull it away from my face, my translucent long yellow cartigan-bathingsuit cover thing that's completely suited for the vibe, and my millenial pink baby strappy heels. (this is on of my fave outfits hence the specifics). We roam the museum, sculpture, the theme is movement and we dicuss opinions on exactly that, then follow up with more personal chats. The museum is very bright with a lot of natural sunlight and oh my god is his skin ever perfect. We head to the gorgeous museum cafe afterwards and grab something light before he mentions he dances and offers to teach me a move or two when i tell him i have two left feet. I tell him I'm free now, and he takes me to his studio, then proceeds to laugh at me (in a nice, joking way) because he sees just how accurately honest i was being. But by the end of the night, i can almost manage a waltz without any toe stepping-on.

JK - Oh we're so doing the Imaginarium, followed by bowling. I'm in ripped black skinnys, a fitted white tshirt and my leather jacket with combat boots. We'll go to the imaginarium for stimmy vibes. Me and him already have told one another how much we vibe with visually and tactile stimmy things. He likes lights and music and dance, where as I like colour, auditory (Asmr), and water. So we go and explore this super rad place, joking around, hidng and surprising one another, and overall having a really fun time before heading to the bowling alley two streets down. He insists he'll let me win, which ended up being a big fat lie. But I surprise him by actually winning the first round much to his slight annoyance. It's cute, but he's happy by the end of the night because I'm only good for one round of bowling before my arm gives out. 4 rounds, 1 me 3 him turn out, and two plates of nachos demolished later, he's pulling out a helmet and taking me for a night ride on his bike through the city.

we haven’t talked in a while and that’s on me so i’ve come with a question that just popped into the dome, one of the tannies asks you out on a date, it’s your first one, where you going and more importantly what are you wearing??? 🎤 the floor is yours

i’m literally about to head out the door but i had to ask this before i left i will expose myself when i get back so be thinking about it while im gone!!!!!!!!
