Literally no one:

Not a soul:

My brain: Can you believe that there is now an in-canon kiss but it was super angsty and now the ineffables are separated (matched set do not separate) and it’s going to be 4 years (or never) before we get resolution and let’s (for fun) start the season over again because we will probably notice a new reason to be insane

Tagged by @pomegranate and @mashbrainrot: 6 albums I’ve been listening to a lot lately! Plus one track from each that I’m especially fond of:

1). Kevin Devine - "Put Your Ghost to Rest"

For a number of years, I went up and down the east coast following Kevin - in a completely normal and sane way. Seriously. He became a fast friend and still is to this day. When he released his second full length album, that's when I financially had the resources to start travelling to see his shows. This album was his fourth release, and I was lucky enough to see him on release day. The song "Just Stay"... it made me cry the first time I heard it. "She said it's pretty, but you hate yourself, I can hear it clear as day. I said I sing like this, it sounds worse than it is... I'm okay, okay?" When I heard those lyrics, I just lost it - for him. He's such a good soul and deserves so much good. There was a period of about five years where I didn't see him, and when I finally was able to see him again, the hug he gave me before his set said so much. When he got up on stage that night, he said something like "I'm changing the setlist on a whim. Someone is here tonight who I didn't expect to see, and I know she loves this song. This is for her," and he played this.

2.) Eisley - "The Valley"

During the height of the Long Island emo scene, Jesse Lacey shoved Eisley down everyone's throats. It's the only good thing he ever did (dude ended up being the biggest piece of shit ever), besides legitimately pushing a guy off of of me at a party. The guy was being a real fucking nightmare and Jesse came in swinging, and honestly I appreciated it. Anyway. Eisley. They are hauntingly beautiful. The first time I played an Eisley song for Robby, his response was "I feel like crying," and to this day I don't know if that was a compliment or not.

3.) Manchester Orchestra - "Where Have You Been?"

The best tour I ever followed was Brand New, Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra. I went to 7 shows on that tour, and every night was a like a g'damn religious experience. Don't listen to people who try to shoot it down, follow the band. Spend the money. Travel from one end of the country to the other just to see your favorite bands play live. You won't regret it. "Where Have You Been," was one of the songs where Brand New, Kevin and Manchester all played together on stage. When the yelling "GOD MY GOD MY GOD, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" starts, you could hear a pin drop. I have goosebumps thinking about it.

4.) Death Cab for Cutie - "Narrow Stairs"

No big thoughts on this one. I just really love anything Death Cab, and this one has been getting played most recently. "Plans" is a close second. That opening bassline of "I Will Possess Your Heart?" Seriously? Perfection.

5.) Kings of Leon - "Come Around Sundown"

I'm sorry. My music taste seems to have frozen to anything before 2010. I think because there's so many good memories tied directly to musicians, bands and songs. I remember when this album dropped. I remember it leaking and my community of friends all losing our g'damn minds. A lot of KoL songs found their way into "The Blacklist," which was a great show too.

6.) Incubus - "Morning View"

Incubus has been this strange constant since I was a teenager. My sophomore year boyfriend introduced me to them as we got high in his basement. Very cliche. They were also the first band I ever followed on tour, and are all very sweet and down to earth guys. They are about to release a reimagined version of this album, and... I have mixed feelings about what I've heard. The original is far superior.

Tagging @bardengarde, @kejfeblintz, @valenshawke, @veryliteralsin, @lynnsthoughts, @angelt0rres and anyone else that wants to do it, I guess.

#sorry my music taste is stuck in the past #i am old and set in my ways #but please tell me if you enjoy any of these #Spotify

So now the create post is in the complete diagonally opposite corner? My brain is never going to get used to that. I'm still not used to the fact that my kitchen taps go down not up and I keep splashing myself when I try to turn them off. We got the new taps two years ago.

Also, has the middle of the screen always been so far over? It feels off balance.

#Tumblr #new tumblr layout #apparently this is twitter-esque?#Idk I never used twitter #I don't like change #But so far I can't find any reasons other than that to dislike it #I am old and set in my ways #This reminds me of when LiveJournal changed their whole layout the other way #I hated that too

[ Everyone says goodbye to Roier 👋 ]

Rae: He's so funny! Wtf.

Foolish: Yeah no, he's a funny-ass dude.

Ironmouse: Yeah, he's great.

Foolish: Yeah. Love that guy.

#Roier #Foolish Gamers #Ironmouse #Valkyrae #Mouse #Foolish #August 14 2024 #Aww #That was sweet #Literally as soon as Roier said goodbye I RAN to their stream to see what Rae thought about him #Dude the only good thing that's come from Twitter is me seeing all these cute emojis I literally never use #like: 👋 <— That's cute #I'm old fashioned I use like 5 emojis maximum and That's It #The most emojis I ever use is when I'm posting clips on Twitter #I'll just type random words into the emoji search bar and I'll be like ''oh cool I didn't know there was an emoji for that''#I'm realizing these tags make me sound like a 90000 year old grandma but listen. I'm Old. I am set in my emoji-using ways

An incredible set from Good Luck made of denim with raschel lace.

#denim???? in MY egl??#its more likely than you think #i am a meta girl when it comes down to it but this really gets me excited in a very similar way #its so whacky and a little bit tacky in a fun way #it reminds me a lot of the antique bouquet gobelin sets meta has released #in light of those being damn near impossible to obtain right now this is a perfect alternative #the skirt is a little short so i usually wear a black meta skirt with the same lace underneath #choker is 2002 baby #and headdress is 2004 innocent world #egl #old school lolita #lolita fashion #good luck #innocent world #baby the stars shine bright #my pics

#ugh. fuck me im so tired. im getting sucked back into that workaholic mindset and now my body hurts and my nerves are fying. but it feels #good to b productive. if only i didnt have to teach and could just work with data :-(#anyway. the last 2 weeks have been good in that i feel like im actually hitting my stride a bit #bc we're seeing cool things in our genomes and its gonna b really fun to explore. and i met with the terrifying #prof who is on my committee to pitch a project for a final in her class and it seems it went over well. it was kinda funny bc we were #meeting and she was like: so how would u tell which gene was lost 1st? the phytochrome or the genes that r triggered by activation? and i #was like: uhhhhh idk. and then my advisor walked by and she grabbed him and asked him the same question and he was like: idk we'll have to #figure it out. which made me feel way better abt not knowing lol. then my superior lab mate asked me a question abt taking confocal images #and i was actually able to figure out what her issue was. and my old advisor was asking me if i knew anyone to ask for using a pam on cyanos #and i was like: here is what i think my advisor would say and linked her a paper. then i asked my advisor and he said what i expected and #linked the paper that id already sent. so im like. ok. ok. maybe i actually sometimes do kno what im doing. sorta.#and then my old advisor said she was so proud of me. and i was like aw. its so funny bc my relationship is so different with my new advisor #hes great but its all very professional. with my old advisor i would text her after hours bc she was a workaholic like me and went on long #car rides and handed out Halloween candy with her. she was more hands on and doesnt have kids so work is her life. its just interesting #so things have been going well. but there arent enough hours in the day. and my committee meeting is in like 16 days. and i am afraid for #that but not as afraid as i was in april when i had a full on breakdown and canceled it the day before it was set to happen lol #itll b fine. i just have to work thru the weekend so i can get my preproposal done. and prey that the fucking splitstree download site will #start working bc i want to do gene networks dammit #unrelated

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself
