The Monkees Headquarters
Original Album Favorite Song: Shades of Grey. Wonderful song about growing up and realizing the world isn't as simple as you thought it was. Least Favorite: Band 6. I mean, there's nothing there, it's basically just filler. It's a little funny, tho, once you find out they were trying to do the Looney Tunes theme.
Special Edition Favorite Song: Can't choose between All of Your Toys and The Girl I Knew Somewhere. Both are so amazing, and both should have been on the original album, you won't change my mind. Least Favorite: Jericho. I think this is the only Monkees song that I almost always skip when I binge listen to them. Yes, I hate this one strictly because they are making fun of a Bible story. I have that right.
Songs with more than one version and my favorite version is on this album I'll Spend My Life with You- The arrangement of the first version on More of the Monkees sounds too sweet. This one sounds sadder, more wistful, and I think the pedal steel contributes a lot to that. I Can't Get Her Off My Mind- I like how this version has that old-timey sound to it. The intro usually makes me think of Charlie Chaplin, it's that kind of sound. The Girl I Knew Somewhere- I honestly prefer Micky's version, just because I think Micky's voice works better with the instruments (I know nothing about music theory, but I would guess it has something to do with the key Micky's voice is in?). But I do wish they had mixed it as Micky's lead vocals with Peter and Davy's backing vocals (from the version with Mike's lead vocals). Once you hear Peter in the background- not to mention the harpsichord player (probably also Peter) going wild at the end of the song- the officially released version that we all know and love just sounds wrong. Wish I knew how to remix, I'd put Micky's vocals over Peter's backing track myself, just to see how it should have sounded. Pillow Time- Ok, call me crazy, but even if we throw out the banter (which I actually enjoy), I think we lost something by not having the repeat and Micky's zither in the Present version of Pillow Time. This one made it sound like it was supposed to be some psycho-jello dreamtime song, which I think would have worked well, considering it's a lullaby.
#the monkees#the monkees headquarters#shades of gray#band 6#all of your toys#the girl i knew somewhere#i'll spend my life with you#i can't get her off my mind#pillow time#my opinion

okay but a like post-series fic i want that's like: steve harrington being the only man left in hawkins fighting monsters
and not like a 'everyone died, last man standing' way but just. they beat it back, the story ends, nice little tie-up and neatly concluded, eleven loses her powers because their world is completely cut from the other. and life goes on. eddie (yes, eddie lives au don't fight me) goes off with his band, robin-nancy-jargyle off to separate cities for college. the kids go to high school, graduate high school, and scatter across the country. joyce and hop buy a beach house far-far-far away from goddamn hawkins indiana.
steve though. steve stays. he does it too without comment, takes all their calls telling him all these amazing things. the years pass. the calls are fewer and far between. he's mostly in contact with only dustin and robin. except robin's out of country doing some crazy temp job in some remote country, she never catches him at home right now so just leaves him messages. and it takes a couple of weeks for dustin to realize he hasn't gotten steve on the phone.
frantically he calls around "have you heard from steve???" except the most people talk to steve anymore is like phone calls during holidays and holy shit what could have happened??
and what if it's back?
cue everyone who can in that moment, rushing back. eddie hopping on a flight from fucking london direct to indianapolis somehow, heart in his throat. he manages to meet hopper in the airport and they pick up max and dustin at the bus station.
they get to hawkins that is even more different that what they left. a smaller town, a town that shuts down completely when the sun sets. it's creepy and deserted.
except for the fucking upside down monsters of course.
and they're in their stupid little rental in front of this demogorgon and they're screaming but then the thing just goes splat on the concrete and steve fucking harrington is blinking owlishly at them.
"Oh, hey guys!" he calls jogging up to the driver's side window. "Wow, what brought you back down this way? You should have told me, I would have told you about the curfew!"
turns out steve just forgot to pay his phone bill that month, didn't even realize he was missing calls and he's been fighting monsters the entire time because actually they WEREN'T cut off from the upside down at all and he's just been casually fighting monsters for the remaining hawkins residence—the whole town knows now and steve's the guy you call when you have a monster problem
sidebar: WAYNE still lives in hawkins, and he and steve are best friends, eddie munson you are gonna LOSE YOUR MIND
#stranger things#steddie#because who am i if i don't make things about steddie#the steve harrington whump being left behind and abandoned again of it all#who's been spending christmas with him????#dw he actually probably had a grandma rotation + wayne BUT STILL#steve who is thriving in adversity best he can but rightfully hurt about being the last one there i can have both#'i don't need you to have a fulfilling life but it sure would have been nice if any of you had stuck around'#okay im done thank you for coming to my elevator pitch#shush mal#if this fic exists you're legally obligated to send it to me#i'll sue you if you don't#my steddie ideas

#I had to go to a high school friend's funeral a couple weeks ago#the guy was like an older brother to me#he was only 23#I spent an hour alone in a room with his coffin just crying#wishing I had gotten to spend more time with him#Now because of that#I'm making sure to live my life exactly how I want to#I've had people tell me to “do the smart thing” and build a career#travel in short spurts etc#fuck that#I want to be the unemployed friend in all those memes#the guy who you don't hear from until you get a video from a glacial lake in the middle of the wilderness#and then a week later a picture from atop a mountain#I want to do cool shit#I want to have DAD LORE#stories to tell#people to tell them#mid life crisis at 22 is crazy but FUCK IT WE BALL#anyways my rambling is over if you're still reading this I'll give you a smooch

idk if this makes sense. but i kind of love that the last of us makes me cry and viscerally FEEL true emotions on a weekly basis. like i cant remember the last tv show i watched that had me consistently bawling my eyes out and so immersed in a show because of the characters, the story, the incredibly strong writing, etc. and it doesn't feel manipulative. it just feels profound and beautiful and poetic but also tragic and... human.
#it's a whole spectrum of emotion!!! it's beautifully tragically human!!!! is that not what it is to exist!!!!#and it's therapeutic honestly. to spend like an hour in a world that isnt real but that you can relate aspects of your life to.#and you can just connect to these characters and their experiences and release the emotions that have been building up inside.#i'm sure that if you've played the game you feel this all the more strongly#but as someone who hasn't and went into tlou without prior knowledge#i'm just very pleased with it and idk i love watching a show that can elicit such a strong reaction from me#granted i AM what people would call 'sensitive' and 'emotional' or whatever#but even for me i dont think i've felt quite this intensely about a show - especially not right away during a first season#these are just my half baked thoughts and i definitely could say so much more but i'll leave it here for now#sameera.txt#the last of us

do you wanna show your support for your mail carrier this holiday season but don't know how?
i humbly suggest that the best way you can help us out and say "thank you" is by checking your mail frequently. especially as people get more and more packages for the holidays, the parcel lockers at our disposal run out quickly. and for every parcel locker that's full because someone hasn't picked up their mail in days (or weeks, sometimes), we have to detour to take extra parcels to people's doors, which keeps us out in the cold longer and makes us sad.
check your delivery notifications if you're expecting a package, and pick it up as soon as possible, especially if you live in an apartment complex. please.
#also.... if you order a bunch of shit and then let it rot in my parcel lockers#i spend my days trying to explode you with my mind. and one of these days i'm gonna figure out how to do it in real life#also if your mailbox gets too full we can and will hold your mail hostage and return it to sender if you don't come pick it up#fuckin try me. i'll do it i s2g#shit chat#ctxt#charlie vs mail

I'm surprised you haven't posted any Welcome home stuff recently! Honestly kinda makes me sad since I love your WH art and stuff
yea y'all are gonna have to be Patient w/ me bc
a) i have like. a week left to pack all of my stuff before i need to shove everything into a uhaul and leave, so its crunch time! leaving little to no energy/interest in anything else
b) to be honest my mental health is the worst its been in years - which is fine, its whatever, i can deal. it's not as bad as it could be and im handling it! like a champ, even! but also its leaving little to no energy/interest in anything else
c) had a minor crisis over my art and how i interact w/ WH, and i realized im not scribbling enough of what I want. ive mostly been trying to please people and do as asked and thats! not good! so i want to temper expectation & reassert that im Not a WH art blog - its just a hyperfixation / something i love rn. i draw what i enjoy & what i want in the moment.
#i picked up my tablet last night and all of my motivation died on the spot#so im just. eh whatever ill get back into the swing of things eventually#but yeah im spending my time packing & keeping myself afloat! not much room for other things at present!#rambles from the bog#but yeah i was starting to feel like a commodity of sorts?#like the majority of asks are just some form of 'can you draw this' 'draw this' 'id love it if youd draw this'#which is. fine. im an art blog! thats what i do!#but its also like hey. im just some guy doodling what they enjoy. im not a machine churning out content for consumption#& it gets to the point where there's so much expectation and obligation and 'demand'-#when do i ever sit down and truly indulge in what i want?#like the monster scribble i posted the other day! it made me so happy! i love monsters and Beasts!#when do i ever allow myself to draw them?#rarely bc i feel like people Expect puppets from me. and thats not a great feeling!#i love puppets i love wh and everything but i would like to enjoy it w/o pressure yk yk....#& for a second there i Was feeling the pressure and scribbling puppets was starting to feel like a chore#something i Needed to do to please people#so! im focusing on real life & taking a break from creation & keeping my mindset away from 'jump into traffic' thankyew <3#theres just too much going on right now#in my head And outside of it.#so ill stick to packing & binging psych & i'll lovingly place everything else on the backburner

Alternate ending to the Rhalâta questline:
#enderal#enderal forgotten stories#vynblr#shitposting#tharaêl narys#i edited it as best i could#maybe one day i'll get a proper redraw#because man#really wished you could do this#my prophetess would have knocked his lights out the second he started spewing the misogynistic slurs#at the very least she gets to chew him out a bit#but not good enough if you ask me#reasons why i really have a hard time liking tharaêl tbh lol#you'd have to tweak his character to make it work for me and i am not as invested in fixing him as i am with other characters to do that#alternate timeline where tharaêl gets punched out#never gets his shot at revenge or confront the father#spends the rest of the cycle lying there contemplating his life choices#sorry he's not coming home with me#he's going in the TRAAAASH

I have so many thoughts about my egg ocs and no way to convey them. aaaaaaaaaa
#hey. hey everyone. did you know that Poll has spent their life extremely sheltered. Did you know their life has never been in danger#(aside from when they were going through the Federation tests)#Hey did you know that Tequilla spend his entire life in danger like ever other egg.#Did you know he died twice#Did you know Poll has never died.#Did you know that Poll has never had to experience death or fighting and now they're being struck with the realization that their brother-#-had to go through that for so long. Did you know they're having to face the fact that death exists. hahahahahahhaahahhahaa#anyways both think they're older and so both want to protect each other but theyre like 'my little sibling can't go through something like-#-that'#and I am#having fun over here#I just listened to Surface Pressure and it got me thinking okay#anyways at some point I need to draw/write Tequilla and Poll sparring/learning to fight#I'll have to talk to Metal about that because he had a combat hyperfixation when we were kids#if anyone has questions about Poll or Tequilla or his parents I will go feral lmao#not a poll#poll the egg#Tequilla the egg#Captain's egg OCs

art time-lapse of this piece that i posted in IG b4 to try out doing reels. i really like how this turned out overall plus "yasashii suisei" (link for eng tl) really fit the vibes so im queueing this here too
#khr#khre#khr oc#oniyanagi#hibari kyoya#ninomiya kanako#oc#hibakana#einart#tags yapping abt hibakana ahead 🫡#the quote that inspired this one still lives rent-free in my brain#“my alone feels so good i'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude”#both of them are the type of people who likes to move on their own and dislikes being restricted#and they thrive that way without needing to look out for things like social cues/other's perceptions/the will of a “majority”#there's this certain type of independence that i rlly admire for each of these two characters#if they don't feel comfortable with a person#or if the person's company does not spark any joy#as much as their peace and quiet does#then why would they even hang out and spend/invest time with them amirite? theyre not abt that fake life#nowadays its very common for me to hear abt boomers asking ppl when they're gonna get an s/o or marriage#or just others forcing ppl to conform with the social norms and what's considered as “normal”#so these two rlly bring me a lot of comfort#on their own; if i were to depict them on separate stories#khre aside and just considering khr; idt id ship hibari with anyone; he would be my a-spec king icon idol and legend who does wtv he wants🫶#kana too mdbxndbddjbd her previous version b4 this had another oc/canon ship but i don't rlly fck with that anymore (still funny tho)#(i realized that that previous ship rlly held her back character-wise---)#(but their (potential/established) platonic relationships with other characters are so *chef kiss* tho--working hard on brainstorming that)#on the other hand i started shipping hibakana for the comedy of their dynamic lmao (it should be around b4 sou & i reached kokuyo arc)#“wouldn't it be funny if---”#its just a joke there's supposed to be an “/hj” somewhere there i didn't know they would suit e/o's characters & personality this much wtf

listening to her sleep is a privilege I thank god every day for.
#x#i still can't believe i have her in my life in this capacity#I'm pretty confident it will baffle me forever.#i refuse to take any part of her for granted.#every word she says to me + every picture she shares with me + every moment she chooses to spend with me#i think i will always be famished for all of it#like I'm down bad to the point where I'll start tearing up if i start thinking too long about how much i love this person#& she's across the globe... how does someone so far away manage such a tight effortless grip on my heart.#I'm so lucky to be one of her ppl. what a privilege.#i feel blessed to the point where I'm starting to believe it was a good thing i didn't die when i had my first motorcycle accident.#without even knowing it she's actually singlehandedly convincing me i rly wasn't meant to die then.#that it took its time & tested my patience & now here it is#something to live for & look forward to.#anyway. she's turning me into a sap is rly all these words I'm writing amount to#I'm usually all about cool detachment & violent enthusiasm i swear#gun emoji#I'm not fucking joking you better believe me.#princess

I'm back! Kinda + What I've been up to + Timezone Change, Story Posting Update
Heyyyy thur guys! I’m back, kinda. Sorry it took me a while to update you guys on what I’ve been working on, life has been extra busy since July 31st for me 💀 I won't post a story update yet as I still have things to do but I mightttt return by the end of September.
If you wanna know what I've been up to, read under the cut. Just a warning, it's pretty long 💀
I have an update on what I've been working on irl and it's kind of an exciting news, at least for me lol. So, in case anyone is wondering what I've been up to, I'm actually preparing to further my Masters overseas and this plan has been a wip since last year. I've been studying for my IELTS because the universities I've applied to requires me to take it. And then I had my graduation ceremony for my Bachelor's Degree after waiting for SO long bcs of Covid. It was one of the happiest day in my life bcs I got the Vice Chancellor's award!!! Sorry for the bragging there, I'm just so proud of myself :') I worked my ass off to maintain my CGPA every semester so getting that award really felt like all of that hard work was worth it :')
After all that is done, I applied to the Uni's that I wanted and surprisingly, all the Uni's I applied to gave me an offer which is pretty neat! I accepted one of the offers and then I had to look for a sponsorship.
I kept it a hush-hush kind of thing and only told several of my close friends about what I was planning to do bcs it was something that I wasn't sure that I'll be getting so anytime that I was taking a "break", I was actually working on this in the background (had to attend zoom interviews with the Uni's. Doing the tasks in order to get an interview invite etc.). It was a stressful process but yeah, this is what I've had planned for me when I was younger so I was determined to make it happen no matter what! Your girl is not one to give up easily! 😤
So around June this year, the sponsorship that I've been aiming for opened and I applied for it, got the results that I had been offered a full-ride sponsorship on July 31st and everything became so busy for me because I had to prepare the necessary documents to be sent to the sponsorship board. It was an exhausting process as I had to make sure that everything is prepared perfectly so there wouldn't be any problems and so far, alhamdulillah, everything has been going well. I had my visa done, I secured a place to stay during the duration of my studies, all the documents were sent at the end of last week. But preparing all of these took a toll on my energy and I simply don't have the energy to open my game or even open blender to work on my story. But I have been writing the scripts and all so yeah, the story is still running in the background. I did find some little time to work on poses but I worked on a few before I stopped because I was too tired hahaha.
Anyways, only a few people knew what I was working on while I was on this break. Shoutout to Miss Wheat knee and Gigi for being patient with me replying to their discord messages late everyday 😭 And thank you for giving me your emotional support and encouragement! A huge thank you to both Miss Devilled Eggs and Wheat knee for helping me in my process of applying to the Uni's from helping me brush up my English for my IELTS during one of our previous calls, and for helping me with my Piece to Camera video practice for my Uni interviews. I really, greatly, am thankful to you guys for that. And to Wheat knee, thank you for believing in me when I was overthinking stuff thinking I wouldn't get the offers sfkhskl I really appreciate you for that 😢
And with that, I would like to update you guys that my posting time will be changing as I will be moving to London for my studies. So my timezone will no longer be GMT+8 :') It will be GMT+1 as of September 28th. Aside from that, my postings won't be regular too, I'll be updating whenever I can as I'll probably be busy with my studies and all. So, wish me luck! I'm a bit anxious about this so I hope I'll do well :')
Thank you to all my readers who are still there for me since day 1, you all are the best! And sorry that the story will take a while to be completed, I'll try my best to still work on it bcs I love it too much to just leave it like that 😭
That's all I guess! Thank you again for reading this if you are reading it lol.
Love,
Nina ❤
#WRTOOC#update#yes I have a month before I leave for my studies but I want to spend this last few weeks with my family and friends!#I'll still be around reading stuff!#tbh I'm so scared of telling ppl what I've been up to irl#me telling ppl about what I'm currently doing with my life feels so scary#but i want to share with you all! 😭#I'm just so scared of ppl using what I do irl to make fun of me behind my back#so I rarely talk about my personal life with anyone bcs the worries about ppl using it against me terrifies me
