Hey internet, I'm Astra Tsiolkovsky. I'm a doctoral student studying astrophysics in Unova. Ask me about science, engineering, and Space Stuff™ if you want rambles.

My Website

I use the "cw: topic" format for tagging that kind of thing.

//[OOC Notes Below Cut]

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Check with me OOCly before sending anything ICly transphobic to her. After a couple instances of this, and one OOC Totally Normal ask, you guys have lost privilege of me accepting and rejecting on the fly with the hope you'd know when to stop.

If you fuck this up more, I'm going to mandate all asks about IC transphobic stuff get approval OFF ANON first and will start blocking anons over not asking OOCly. That said, I know some of these are hard to recognize for those of you who've never had to think about it in depth. Just think twice on if need to ask please?

EDIT 10/10: Congratulations on first OOC block about this. I am less likely to start off with warnings from now on.

Similar applies to her jirachi status. I'm a bit more lenient and open to this one, but, like, please use your brains. If it gives a setup for her to dunk on religious weirdos though, I basically have to be in a really trash mood that day to not give the OK to that.

Will Not Interact:

Magic Anon

Fae deals/name stealing

Meta Horror

4th Wall Schenanigans

Very dark topics

• This includes post-apocalyptic stuff to be clear

Mental Alteration/Mind Control related subjects

• I WILL just ignore things, have Astra behave utterly OOC, blanket refuse to interact with characters, and/or just suddenly drop interaction as if never happened if required for this

Other Notes:

I try to treat her experiencing rotomblr as *just a website* as much as possible. Granted, one with weird multiversal connection that she will assume is due to ultrahole shenanigans she doesn't understand yet

Lose combination of games and anime setting, leaning more towards the games

Pelipper mail will be interpreted as regular parcel mail being sent to her via student services.

Please keep mystery gift to minor items at most. She's a grad student as part of her character, part of that is putting up with tight money situation.

Astra's got the full abilities of a jirachi potentially, but is completely unable to use them yet. Think of it as getting a new limb suddenly.

Assumes sentient pokemon are rare, and mostly limited to:

• Ones with decent canon support (rotom inhabiting devices with a CPU, mewtwo, one off instances such as Meowth, latias, etc)

• Certain humanoid and/or psychic types raised in human society in a way that  "bootstraps" them during critical development periods (e.g. Gardevoir line treated as effectively human from birth)

Feel free to treat her as a kid screwing around on the net with a character if you want or similar if it makes sense for your character's setup or personality

She's an adult lesbian, please block the tags "suggestive", "cw: boob joke", "cw: dick joke", "cw: sex joke", and "cw: sex mention" if you are not comfortable with those topics. Please let me know if you need something tagged.

okay i went through all the things. so, in other news, which rp would you like to see: clue, a scream based thing, that house of wax roleplay or some type of general cabin in the woods/horror thing (i’m thinking either the aforementioned 80′s rp or maybe something like sleepaway camp/friday the 13th). thoughts?

Shadows House

I have a lot of thoughts surrounding this particular show, both good & bad.

Allow me to give a quick summary for anyone who hasn't seen/read it!

Shadows House is about 'a faceless family of nobles who all live within this giant manor, the Shadows House.

When a Shadow comes of age they receive a 'Living Doll' to both serve as their face and to clean the soot they emit from their bodies.

The most important rule of the living dolls is "don't fret over trivial matters"

A task which is difficult for the ever curious doll Emiliko.

Watch this tale unfold as Emiliko & her mistress Kate navigate this ever mysterious Manor together.'

For a fan of slow burn thrillers, horror, slice of life, supernatural & mystery series' this has been an absolute blast!

It's not quite the combination of genres you'd expect from a show, but it works really well here!

In fact I was so into the anime that this is actually the first show where I broke down and read the manga!

Unfortunately there's no official English release, but at least there are some people translating the series!

As much as I'd like to go on about the manga, this post is meant to be more so about the anime so I'll (try to) leave it at that.

Though i feel obligated to warn anime onlys I'll likely refer the manga a lot in a spoiler section latter in this post I'll try to be vague but I can't guarantee anything. For anyone worried about that I'll lable it do you can read on until then.

Everything from the animation to the music was amazing & completely fit the mood of the story! I remember a couple scenes where I actually teared up because of this!

The Ending theme is an absolute banger! I've listened to that on repeat ever since I first heard it! And the Opening is also great! It's cool for it to be an instrumental, stuff like that is pretty rare! I also heard the song in the op as a motif in the music throughout the show! It really sets the right mood in each scene it's in! It's amazing for getting into each episode!

In terms of adaptation almost everything from the beginning to the end of the Debut arc was done amazingly well!

Even with the stuff they cut it still holds true to the spirit of its source.

The main important part that was cut is something that could easily be introduced latter if they decide to go for a second season, so I'm not too mad about that.

However! Everything after the debut is a bit of a different story.

There was a lot I liked about the last couple episodes but there were some parts that were immersion breaking for me.

I've been being vague up until this point l, but I'm planning on going into spoiler territory for both the anime and manga after this. So I'll make a quick spoiler free summary of my thoughts before moving onto that.

I really really loved this show but in my opinion the last 3 episodes were the weakest of them all. They went anime only for the ending. I don't mind that on it's own, but it was rushed and the writing was sloppy at times.

Now I'm not telling you to not watch the show! Most of It's really really good, and I can still see people enjoying the parts I'm talking about if they want to give the anime a try. Overall I've fallen in love with this series and I could never recommend it enough.

If what I'm saying is giving you bad vibes the manga is available and doesn't have the issues I've mentioned. You can look for a translation online, it didn't take me long to find one so don't worry too much about that.

Also! if you're an anime only who's finished the series and want to know where to pick up the Manga I'd recommend at least skiming through the beginning. I know it might not be what you're looking for but there were a bunch of small scenes that either got cut or were merged for adaptation purposes that I think are super cute & give more context to different aspects of the setting. However! Pay close attention during the "night watchers part" something important got cut .

~~~Now for spoilers!!!!~~~

I don't want to make it sound like I'm some manga purist who hates the very thought of the slightest change from the source. I'm anime only for a lot of different shows and I've always despised it when that type of manga reader reared it's ugly head.

While I'll admit some changes did bother me I won't make a fuss about the smaller stuff.

With that said!

I hinted earlier in this post that I didn't have a big problem with Robe-same being cut. That was because without them there it does make for a more complete story if they only get one season to work with.

If there is another season they can easily be introduced latter on. Like maybe Emiliko & Shaun can meet them when the Debutant class reunion is going on before they talk on the roof (or right after that) I actually think that would be the perfect time to introduce them (other than the time they were supposed to appear, but I digress)

Louise teaming up & being friendly with Kate can be explained with some dialogue changes at the first Debutant Class Reunion. Louise can say she was just trying to show off or that she just wanted to get back at Edward and that she isn't interested in helping Kate with her problems. Things can then go on as they did in the manga.

Kates being reckless & telling everything to John can be explained by her being extremely panicked when Emiliko went missing, as long as there are some lines of dialogue adressing this it's fine. Though I do wish she tried to keep some stuff a secret but couldn't because Shaun tries to interfer because he's still brainwashed, or something along those lines. It felt a bit weird after she just told Emiliko to keep that stuff between them. Still that could be explained by how panicked she was.

There are other things, but I don't want to drag the post on too long. Most of the issues can be fixed with little changes here & there.

I never had a problem with the idea of them going in an anime only direction. I just want to have a good time with the show.

Unfortunately I can't 100% vouche for the direction the show went in. There were elements that I can't excuse, even viewing it as it's own entity instead of an adaptation.

My main complaint with it is how they handled the brainwashing of Ricky & Lou. They didn't say a word when the Debutants were talking badly about Edward & even went along with a plan to go against him. It makes absolutely no sense!

Shaun freaked out when John only suggested that he didn't have to be loyal to the house. These guys were flat out rebelling against an adult! It felt like Ricky & Lou didn't have a purpose & were just there to be there.

The whole point of the coffee is to influence shadows against doing stuff like this. It makes the coffee seem pointless and the adults seem dumb for relying on it to control the kids.

I haven't even brought up the fact that both of their brainwashings were broken by something as simple as a few kind words. It straight up contradicts the rules established by both the Anime and Manga.

This becomes very apparent when you consider all the trouble John & Kate went through to free Shaun & Emiliko.

This was my biggest complaint, but I have some other issues as well.

The next big one is how they handled Edward.

1. Why on earth would he even consider kidnapping Emiliko when he had complete control of the childrens wing? Before this point he was depicted as being a lot more crafty than this. He could easily have Kate monitored or something.

2. Why didn't he use his powers to stop them like what he did to Maryrose & Rosemary when they fought back being taken to the adults wing? He's already shown off his power at this point, why not?

3. Why did he reveal his soot powers at all!? Especially while using his face in front of the kids! The whole unification thing is one of the biggest secrets of the house for good reason! There's no way he wouldn't get in huge trouble for exposing it to children!

Here are some other related questions.

Why didn't Kate, Emiliko, & John react to Edward using soot powers? They shouldn't know about unification yet so why didn't they act shocked, or say anything about it?

Is Edward being banished even an option in the Shadows House? Wouldn't the third floor lords just dispose of him rather than risk letting him leave?

How did John even get a veiled dolls outfit? Louise had to use her powers to get Kate one & she left a long time ago.

I can't think of much else at the moment, but I think you get my point.

Please don't take this as me saying that I hate the show because of these episodes. Even if I consider them the weakest of the series I still found a lot of parts to be very enjoyable!

Like I thought it was adorable When Edward was attempting to interrogate Emiliko & she kept being her sunshine self pretending to eat & falling asleep.

Barbara getting to tell off Edward for breaking the rules was great!

I loved seeing Shaun hatch the plan to get Kate into the adults wing to save Emiliko.

Seeing John (attempt to) sneak around the adults wing had me rolling!

The ending scene of Shaun, Ricky, & Lou singing gave me the chills.

(Though I wonder how they'd handle Shaun & Emiliko being brainwashed again since they already used the scenes where they're freed)

Kate & Emilico being propelled by John back to the children's wing was absolutely amazing! I found Shaun & Ricky running over to catch them to be super sweet! (Not to mention the way that scene was animated was absolutely gorgeous!)

Getting hints to what was supposed to come after the debut was nice, at least the groundwork is there in case this gets a season 2!

To (try to) wrap this all up while there were a lot of things I loved and disliked about this show I still had a really fun time watching it!

I kinda hope there's a season two just to see if they can tidy up the mess that the last few episodes created.

Regardless of whether that happens or not I came out of this with a series I absolutely adore.

Heck I could make a whole other post about the manga. (Hopefully one that's less ranty)

Anyway! I won't take any more of your time.

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night! And I hope to see you in my next post!

(Sorry if this one was a bit of a mess!)

PROZAC NATION

rating: 4.8/5 stars

trigger warning: mentions of drug use, sh

*spoilers!!!*

(also, clarification that im actually gonna watch & review mysterious skin, not requiem for a dream. i edited that in the og post but it looks like it doesn't correct it for reblogs)

-a few seconds in and lizzie and her mind remind me of me and my mom. when i first got my depression treatment she was really doubtful and tended not to listen (although she was trying to help) but she got past that

-move over tracy freeland i now use lizzie wertzel as the depressed teenage girl i relate to

-19:27 - lizzie's pearl necklace look. beautiful. she has such a refined fashion that's also messy and gaudy, (like she bought the outfit at a costume shop) also unique-for someone going down a wrong path. she's trying to cling to this sophisticated narrative people expect of her, but mentally is clearly suffering and copes with this pressure via her substance abuse. there's a great juxtaposition between this "classy" harvard lady her mind pushed on her and the college party girl saying regrettable things she probably shouldn't while drunk, the exact opposite of the sophisticated facade she's aiming toward. i love badass fashion psychology i can read btwn the lines of

- 25:36 - "jesus lizzie you haven't slept in days." during my worse depression periods i'd either sleep my life away or stay awake all the time, trying to occupy myself with procrastination and the anxiety that came with having to finish work last minute just to feel something. twice i've done it and ended up getting a panic attack from the lack of sleep. so while my bouts never happened often they were super significant and I like the detail this movie has

-31:02 - "gradually, then suddenly, that's how depression hits. you wake up one morning afraid that you're going to live" mood bitch mood

-lizzie's mom going all this was behind us and implying she thought lizzie's depression would all drop w therapy. really it's a life long thing and can get crappy or better anytime

-jessica lange in that phone call scene w the dad....lange rhymes with range and that's what she has

-"poor ruby, i kill her joy" legit i'm 99% of the time irritable w depression and it makes ppl hate to be around me bc they think i'm like a ticking time bomb. again, mooooood.

-"i hate myself i hate the things i do" that entire scene. christina ricci's crying. oh my fucking god this movie is so sad and so close to home. i feel this bitch

-and then her switching from sad and upset to hopeless and angry when she complained abt her bday party. i feel like there was a split second the sadness started dissipating and she began to feel numb, so all she could do was get angry and shout what she thought.

-this is a fucking depression psychological horror movie the screaming "i'm not ur goddamn monkey" oh my god. my worst fear is turning out like this and losing complete control over my emotions more than i already do

-back in college!!!! another sophisticated look! this time liz isn't so concerned w appearing gaudy and to conceal her struggling. she's more relaxed and put together, and altho her outfit is stylish and formal for cold weather, and she is acknowledging her depression. shes gotten better and is putting more effort into her appearance as well without she's trying to blend in now that she no longer feels the pressure to be a perfect writer due to her mental health break. in that scene w her dad, bc she takes off a layer and can say things she's never been able to say to him prior to never speaking to him previously in the room scene where it's just the two of them arguing.

-lizzie's dad. i say this w kindness please choke u have MONEY money moneybags yo n never paid her damn med bills

-something abt her wearing a black dress and pearls at the party. she's finally acknowledging her depression and no longer trying to hide it yea yea yeah.

-christina ricci i would die for you

-that scene where her doctor catches her self harming is so damn sad. I've had one instance where my parents finally found out abt my sh (scariest shit alive) and u never really get over that. you live with that memory and it either eats you with guilt to relapse or inspires you to get better. either way it's impossible to just forget.

-i really needed this movie. currently im struggling w the idea my depression won't get better and the ending reminded me things very well could if i take it slow and be gentle with me self. Work and exist but not for others at the expense of all health, but for you. live for you.

final thoughts: this movie was brilliant. as someone with depression I've never related more. I loved tracy's portrayal in thirteen, but in all honestly i feel like christina as lizzie's is better for me to relate to personally. im no longer 13 and relate much more to lizzie since I'm closer in age to her, and the monologues and quotes from her hit incredibly close to home. christina ricci is also an acting goddess onscreen. if you have depression and are OK with themes of drug use and self harm, prozac nation is a great watch if you're look for something relatable that doesn't water down depression nor demonize anyone for it. I've never seen a movie portray depression and the instability that comes with it so perfectly.

gonna rent and watch:

-prozac nation

-white oleander

-requiem for a dream

-welcome to the dollhouse

never seen these movies b4 so i'll update in the reblogs on how it goes
