[bilbao-song]

well!!!!!! phoenix photos. (finally!!!!!!!!) it was a positively magical experience in like 700 different ways. extended ranting below the cut if ur interested

(warning: SUPER long and half of it i wrote just for my own sake tbh so i can reminisce someday……but i tried to divide it up at least a little in case u want to read about the concert but not all the trials and tribulations that were involved in actually Getting to the concert. whatever take it or leave it here u go)

so <3 this whole entire thing was insane. <3 i expected this to be a really lowkey sort of thing. like, this was supposed to be a low-maintenance, laid-back concert experience........and then it somehow turned into the absolute most chaos i have ever gone through for the sake of attending an ELO concert (MAJOR statement due to the fact that my life somehow revolves around enduring chaos in the name of jeffrey-based tourism) or just any concert ever in general (finally something to beat narrowly avoiding missing elton john in nashville). i have rambled at length about it in various forms over the past week or so but to recap:

i was in phoenix last week-ish (as of when i started writing this shgdsgh) <3 from the 17th-22nd. the concert was supposed to be on the 21st. we flew like 3.5ish hours to get there and made a whole entire experience of it

we got up early on the 21st, drove downtown, went thrift shopping and record shopping etc., and then went to the venue only to be told at the parking garage that the concert was postponed until the 29th. as far as i know, nobody knew about this until like 4:00 pm that day. someone was apparently sick (nobody will ever say who other than Not Jeffrey. shoutout to the problem child [affectionate] whoever they may be but i’m glad all is apparently well now)

after all the planning/scheming/gallivanting etc. this was like……..shocking information. genuinely the next few hours are a blur to me lol but to give you a general impression we drove like an hour back to the hotel and i had black eyeliner streaming down my face bc the crying was just nonstop. we went to panda express and i don’t even remember what i ordered. we stopped at ross and i bought a christmas gift for my mom and i forgot that even happened until i unpacked it at home. i know this sounds insanely dramatic but truly this is like, the second most brutal emotion i have ever experienced in my life which probably is a bold statement about what my priorities are but it was SO bad. i guess particularly bc it was potentially our last chance ever (i still hope not…but well………you know.) and we had to go home the very next day, so at the time actually getting to go seemed ummm nearly impossible.

we went home which was a shitshow in itself bc we got stuck in traffic for so long we were actually at risk of missing our flight. we made it but we ended up LAST in line to board the plane, so we had to just sit wherever we could. i ended up by myself and wedged between some random people. worse things have happened obviously but it sucked <3

once home it was ummmm narsty. throes of despair. i shan’t elaborate lmao

tbh at first it was just like…outside the realm of possibility that we would come back (or so it seemed). but then eventually………..against all odds……….we figured something out. like i truly even now cannot believe this even happened at all lmao

soooooo after even more scheming and conflicting emotions (idk if this is relatable or not but changing plans makes me so anxious. like even if it’s a good thing i start getting like, actual paranoia-level nervous about it) we got everything lined up to go BACK to phoenix on the day of the concert. by the time we decided to actually do this (!! omg like. it already happened and i still can’t believe it.) i had already refunded my original tickets, but that was honestly a wonderful decision bc i discovered that prices had dropped (presumably due to the kerfuffle…the show was totally sold out before this happened) and i was able to get tickets in a much better area for almost the same price. delicious

the direct flight was truly unacceptably expensive but we got a vastly better deal by instead having one layover each way. seems kind of counterintuitive to me but idk that's why i'm not responsible for running an airline i guess

our flight left at like 1:35 PM local time which left pppplany off time to get there and deal w everything. or so we thought

we had a layover in houston which was supposed to be pretty short. but then they kept delaying it and delaying it and delaying it until i was losing my mind bc i had just flown like 2.5 hours AGAIN and it eventually started to seem like we actually wouldn’t be there in time. at one point it said our next flight was supposed to LAND at 8:05. the concert was supposed to start at 8:00 and we also had to like, have time to get off the plane and go get the car. there were no other flights available so it was like…keep this one or give up and go home lol. we got chinese food which was really good but i stopped eating like halfway through bc i kept getting flight updates and just got way too nervous to keep eating. rip. that was some good broccoli tho

eventually the estimate started trending in the opposite direction so i gradually felt slightly less dire, but it was still really pushing it. at one point in my head i was like “well they could probably push the arrival time til 7 PM at the latest and we could still manage it.” when we boarded the plane the estimated landing time was 7:31 PM lol

we got tremendously lucky!!!!!! and got the very first row of seats!!!! which i would highly recommend btw bc that was a massive amount of leg room, but most importantly we were able to get off that plane the very second the doors opened. bye!!!!!!!!!!!!

we fortunately planned this super strategically and brought nothing that couldn’t go in carry-on luggage, so we didn’t have to go to baggage claim. this probably saved the whole endeavor tbh. our next challenge was getting on the tram to the car rental place. this was lowkey intimidating but fortunately some really nice people who worked at the airport were walking in a group in that direction anyway and just kind of led us there. then we rode the tram which took like ten minutes and thank GOD there was no line at the car rental place, presumably bc it was like 8:00 by the time we actually got there and i guess that isn’t a popular time

we got our car impressively quickly and then drove to the parking garage, which in itself was an Experience bc once again against all odds we managed to get a parking spot that was like…….honestly so good and easy to access i was scared we did something wrong and would be towed or something. it was cräzy. by this point it was 8:23 (per my ugly photos i took so we could have a point of reference to find the car again). throughout all of this i was getting EVEN MORE nervous bc i remembered that some random person at one point had been like, "haha this [the rescheduling] means phoenix will be the only concert without an opening act." and i knew that made absolutely zero sense bc like...why? nobody ever said that lmao. but it was just enough to make me be like omg what if......what if they actually start at 8:00. positively maddening

(now begins the part that isn’t strictly about me competing in the concertgoer olympics)

we walked across the street to the venue and i started losing my mind bc well......all of this was truly insane. i could tell a ton of people were still just standing around looking @ merch so i knew we were Safe. tbh i was so happy that given the opportunity i would have gladly gone over an intercom to make a public announcement about how happy i was to be there. idk sometimes u just want to scream about these things. especially after the sheer turmoil idk i feel like this is one of the best feelings i have ever felt. we made it!!!!!!!!!! somehow!!!!! positively bananas to have been on a plane less than an hour prior. i'm still kind of in disbelief tbh

i think maybe the opening act was late? don’t quote me on that but it seemed like everything was pretty quiet until like 8:30-something which is definitely late for them. i was kind of okay with it bc i lowkey wanted to hear them too (i like them!!!!!! opinions seem divided overall but i am very pro-rooney [at least live??? still haven't listened to their albums or anything]. i'm sure the way i have now been practically brainwashed into associating them w/ good times is a factor tho) and this just made things easier…although if i’m right on that they definitely played fewer songs than before (which would make sense i guess? due to time constraints?). idk. whatever i was there in time for jeffrey and that’s the most important thing 💕

the concert itself was exquisite. they have all been amazing so it’s hard for me to draw comparisons and i struggle to even know what to say tbh but it was truly soooo good. all of this was very worth it. to make things even better i finally i got to witness firsthand my favorite autumnal phenomenon (jeffrey w/ a nice little scarf). he sounded wonderfullll (his voice is just so lovely.........like. experiencing this in person just truly never gets old to me [more please i am begging]) and everything was pretty much perfect. my mom was like "he seems like he's having a good time" and i definitely agreed 🥺💕 very adorable and nice to see. sigh

one of my faaaavorite parts of the whole thing was just everyone screaming and clapping for him for soooooooooo long. it went on for a really long time (like, significantly longer than at the other concerts i’ve attended lol) and i loved that bc frankly much of my whole entire life is dedicated to that exact sentiment (jeffrey appreciation). it felt wonderful to be a part of that :’) i love him so much (not that u didn’t know that). it was all just really heartwarming and ummm. absolutely precious 🥺🥺🥺 a very nice outlet for about 1/100000000th of the adoration i have for him

overall it was a very emotional experience…….like, i was already kind of losing my mind a little before the whole postponement fiasco just bc of the whole “potentially the last time” factor. like before anything even went wrong i was already kind of secretly crying in the car. so anyway i got through like a little under half of this concert before losing it yet again. it’s just so crazy to me how alllllll of this has like, dominated the portion of my life i’m actually capable of remembering. like the point at which my memories of life become pretty consistently clear coincides kind of perfectly with the point at which the whole ELO thing intensified for me and my life just totally changed from there……..so. needless to say it's all really important to me and i’m super sentimental about it. not to mention, again, how crazy all of this was!!!!!! still cannot believe it even happened but i'm so so so so so glad it did

also i just hope so desperately that SOMETHING else does eventually happen bc um <3 i’m not sure what else to do now lol. this was supposed to be the ~*~last US show~*~ (originally that was going to be one of the ones in CA but phoenix getting postponed changed that hehe) but i'm still eternally crossing my fingers for some kind of loophole on that. obviously i'm 100000% thrilled to have done all of this BUT......it will just never be enough for me and i never want it to be over :-( @ jeffrey......................please please please i will jump through any hoops necessary

tl;dr it was super good and i am so glad it all somehow worked out. also most importantly: i love jeffrey. so much

oh btw eat @ thai esane inside arizona mills mall and also say sushi in maricopa. u will not be disappointed

summary:

Technoblade starts the stream and finds an infinity room (a room covered in white item frames and backed with glowstone or sea lanterns, making it look like there is just Void and no end) covering his house. he removes the grief and continues his intro. While waiting for Tommy to join his VC, he finds a Zombie villager, cures it, and reads donations.

Techno and Tommy go to New L’manburg and fix one of Technos propaganda posters. They find Fundy and Ranboo and tell them that if Techno gets his sword back, he’ll help them fight the wither he’s going to spawn. He spawns the wither and runs around while Ranboo and Fundy try to kill it. He doesn’t get his sword back until a few minutes into the battle. Ranboo gives him both his sword and his axe after the Wither is killed by Punz and Fundy.

Fundy gets the Wither Star, and Techno decides that it’s rightfully owned by him. Tommy and Techno start torturing Fundy into giving them the Star. After Techno gets the star back, Tommy starts trying to get his disks back. Techno tells Tommy he’s going too far, and Fundy starts crying, and eventually dies.

Tommy and Techno start to move back to their house, and Tommy gets distracted with the idea of blowing up the community house. Techno convinces him otherwise, and eventually comes clean with his intentions and goals to destroy L’manburg. He asks Tommy to join him, and Tommy accepts.

They go to the wolf army and breed the dogs. While underground, they’re almost caught, but they run away before anyone can catch them.

Techno and Tommy talk about an eventual SBI meetup, make a beacon, and then end the stream.

00:32:17 mmmm technoyell

fundy n ranboo!!!! 00:33:50

god could u imagine knowing that technos doin a plot stream nd he joins ur call w tommy and they just???? start talking abt the canonical status of ants and new york????? such is the life of ranboo nd fundy a;lksdfjals

WITHER POG WITHER POG WITHER POG WITHER POG 00:39:20

00:39:55 how does he make that sound im crying

HE LAUGH!!!!!!

a;lkdsfjasd ranboo bullying time 00:44:00

god could u imagine being a fan of the dream smp, joining and ur surrounded by all these people uve looked up too, and then they start bulling you?? such is the life of ranboo

torture time!!! 00:46:15, its to get back the star :D

00:50:45 its lowkey terrifying how techno calls torturing fundy to tears ‘the good times’ and laughs while tommy interrogates him. i love it, but also im scared of him. still an apologist. he needs his stuff back!

also like,,,,,techno telling tommy he went too far? terrifying. if techno says you went too far, thats saying something

HE LAUGH!!!!

HE LAUGH AGAIN!!!

my favorite part of techno tommy interactions is how technoll say like, a metaphor or smthin nd tommy just,,,,,,,, ‘yeAHHH BITCH’ its so funny. a good example is 00:56:00:

techno: if you want to make an omlette, you’ve gotta break a few eggs

tommy: yeaaahhhh!! break eggs and bitch!

techno: ....what?

its so funny to me ak;dfjlasjf

and like, their rambles are COMPLETELY different. techno does most of his hopping around in his head and talks about it once he’s figured out what he should do, and tommy just says things out loud without thinking its hilarious

and like, in game, techno is a LOT more calculated than people think. when tommy tries to get techno to blow up the community house, techno has to rein him back in because ‘i’m all for violence, but we need a plan.’ and ‘how would blowing up the community house get your discs back??’ he’s a lot more organized than most of his teammates nd i love it

but like,,,sometimes techno just Says things and its great.  00:57:20 ‘the only dirt we have on dream is his dirt shack, amirite? [claps] gottem. he’s homeless!! eyyyy. lmao.’

00:58:20 is good. also skyblock is canon now.

[smileposting]

just wanted to pop in ur asks and say i would be really excited to watch a smile for me video essay from you <:O your takes of the characters are so nuanced and cool; i know theres a lot of faulty when it comes to ppl interpreting the story, so i rlly appreciate your work. seeing such a deep understanding of the game is super refreshing and just!! really nice to see!! smile for me is very close to my heart and getting to consume such good content of it from you makes me so happy. i hope the writing process for your essay is going smoothly, have a good day n keep up the good work <P!

;0; thank you anon, that’s so sweet! i did hit a bit of a roadblock yesterday that kinda... shifted my whole perspective a little bit to the left i think? that was pretty intimidating lmao. but in the end, it made for a meatier script and i Think i should only have like 1 or 2 sections left before i’m done with the first draft, and it’s very encouraging to know i have at least a few folks outside of my friend group who are looking forward to it. (and also just super stoked that my ramblings and ficlets so far do in fact resonate with people in general lol. speaking of which, it’ll be nice to finally go back to trying to write regular fanfic after i’m done writing lmao)

i do want to make it clear for anyone reading this, though - when i eventually do put this out into the world, i’m not doing so to insinuate that my interpretation is the only correct one; just to try to explain what i saw in the game that made me fixate on it for so long and so intensely. i joke a lot about being weirdly territorial over special interests a lot, but i do so more to poke fun at myself than anyone else and my intention is not to shame anyone for not being enough of an ~intellectual~ about their favorite silly lil guys. idk if i actually did anything to give anyone that impression, but i figured i’d clarify that now just in case.

[franeridart]

I don't know if I like what the manga is doing with the eri story wise right now. Like, after the new chapter, if eri's quirk ends up doing what I think it does, it will probably be a huge loss for the manga story wise. (I love mirio and nighteye, but in this situation, to get them back this way, would probably feel like a huge cop out)

Ah, can’t say you find me on your side on this, anon - generally I’m a positive person! And I like bnha because it’s a positive story! So, yeah, if Eri’s gonna fix it and avoid deaths and permanent damages all around I’m not gonna mind it one bit. I understand your position on this tho, and I’m pretty sure you’re not alone on it. I guess it’s about what you’re looking for in a story, and what the point the story means to bring across is to begin with - you say that having an all around positive outcome to this arc is gonna be a loss for the manga, but bnha isn’t snk. It’s not Tokyo Ghoul, or D.Gray-man, or any other story made to drive across the point that life is sad and sad things happen and you just gotta deal with it as best as you can. The general point of HeroAca, since the very beginning, is that luck exists! Things can turn out for the best! Look at it, our protagonist didn’t even have a quirk and now he’s got the best one out there. Literally became the successor to the greatest hero alive without doing anything aside from being a nice guy

I mean. I get why you’d wish for a... more real story, I guess. I get that you might like the angst and the realness of life being shitty and bad things happening and all that jazz. But that’s never been bnha’s point? Since the very start? Deku’s whole arc is turning into a fight to show you that you should never lose hope and that even set futures can still be rewritten - and, about that, there’s also how big part of this arc is still about Nighteye and what he saw in All Might’s future, and about Deku wanting to prove that he doesn’t have to die, so a girl that can literally rewind said future to make it go some other way? That’s exactly what you need to counter Nighteye’s quirk. Deku might talk about twisting fate all he wants, but considering how Nighteye’s quirk works and how precise and definitive it is, without something that can make what Nighteye saw happen just to bring it back and change it there was no way Deku could have done much.

As I said, I get why you’d be disappointed in the possibility of a total fix-it, but as far as bnha’s plot goes I don’t think the story’s gonna lose anything with simply keeping up the positive-to-a-naive-point look on life it has always had, if that’s what it decides to do. You might end up finding the story less good then you’d been expecting, but that’s because you were seeing bnha as a genre it has never even tried to be. This is still a story in which at some point holding hands saved the day, after all haha

Anon said:dRAW KIRISHIMA'S BLACK HAIR SPIKY OMG

That’s actually a nice idea, but can I maybe ask you to come around again with a “please” and “could you”? I’m sure you didn’t mean anything bad by it and I love the enthusiasm, but I prefer it when people are being polite when asking for stuff out of me

Anon said:Okay, how bout this? Bakushima Skyrim AU. This might be a little too close to the fantasy AU but hear me out. So Bakugoi Katsuki is a Breton Spellsword who is commanded by his lord (Aizawa) to go help the Empire with the Stormcloak Rebellion, he is then sent to Helgen by General Tullius to investigate its sudden communication silence. He then meets Kirishima (Eric the Slayer) at Rorikstead who is immediately fascinated by him, they end up traveling together and discover that Bakugo is dragonborn

I mean!!! That sounds like an incredible concept!!! But I’ve never played skyrim in my life before and I could barely manage to follow this ask all the way through, so I’m probably not the best person to suggest this to haha

Anon said:is momo your first option for our lil rocker lesbian or is it mina?

What a question! And one I don’t have a proper answer to, actually - I like both of them equally but for completely different reasons? MomoJirou is the type of ship I sorta see as more or less canon, like, they’re pretty damn obvious aren’t they? And they’re besties! And the aesthetics work so well! So generally I’m like, if I gotta pick one person for Jirou, basing the decision solely on canon stuff, I’m gonna pick Momo. They’re soft and warm too, have sort of a coffee-shop-AU feel to them, I love it

On the other hand Jirou and Mina don’t really have a significant relationship in canon yet - they’re friends and chill together now and again, but haven’t really interacted much in a proper way for me to say “yes, I can see it, this is a ship with some serious foundation” like I can with Momo. But. I understand this ship in a way I can’t seem to manage with MomoJirou. What Jirou would love in Mina and what Mina would love in Jirou, why they’d love each other, how they’d spend their time together and what the general feel of their story would be - the mood of it and the reasons behind it, I understand them, and I can’t seem to manage to do that with Momo yet.

So the actual answer is, if it’s about which of the two gives me more of a “this might actually be canon” feel, then it’s Momo. I do believe they love each other and their relationship is lovely. But if it’s about which of the two I have more fun thinking about, then Mina. It’s two very different ships with very different moods, after all haha

Anon said:your latest warm up my heart!!! man i love how you draw izuku and eri and mirio and well all of them but you dont often draw izuku especially congrats i never want to look away from it

I’M GLAD YOU LIKED THAT ONE I’m actually weirdly proud of how that Izuku came out since usually I can barely manage to make him look like himself, so!!!! thank you!!!!!!

Anon said:Fran, hi! I saw some drawings of you (like, YOU) and I got under the impression that you're really tall??? Would you mind telling us your height? If it's too weird and it gets you uncomfortable, please, just ignore!

I decieved you, anon lmao I’m ~160cm, more or less like my girl Mina! Still the tallest girl in my family, but a small bean none the less in the grand scheme of things haha

ok i’m gonna shove this under the cut bc a friend of mine who’s following this blog hasn’t finished inquisition yet :’) warning: do not read if you haven't played dai yet ;; this is so ridiculously spoiler-heavy ahahahhaha

mmmmm idk how to begini guess i should start with my impressions of him before dai?

anyhow, when i started origins as a dalish warden, i thought it was strange to see how the dalish kept a statue of a god that they feared and hated so close to the camp. ok it was on the outskirts and not actually in the camp, but still, it was closer than i would have expected an image of a hated god to be. it made me wonder if fen'harel was ever a god of protection that was twisted into the trickster since then, keeping the statue by the edges of the camp could be some sort of leftover tradition from the times when the god was viewed differently.also, the continuing motif of wolves and halla throughout elvhen artwork struck me as being a little strange especially since wolves are a marker of fen'harel ? idk if i'm forgetting any other elvhen god that has the wolf motif thing going on as well, but yeah, that was another thing that intrigued me about the god.

and then, in dai, we meet solas.

ngl i thought he was a bit pissy at first especially since i played as an elf for my first playthrough and got the "you're not a real elf lmao the dalish are WRONG" conversation.but then, throughout his banter and conversation throughout the game, you start realizing that he knows far more than what he chooses to tell, and he's always melancholy about the things that already exist. he's careful with his words, never outright denying or confirming anything, and he cares so deeply about spirits and dreams and the Fade.another thing that caught my attention was when he referred to his people vs the elves / dalish of today + the way he shifts from "my people" to "your people" to "our people" throughout the game is so... disconcerting. he just doesn't seem like your regular, everyday elven apostate and that's what intrigued me about him and what made me pursue him. and now, we know. we know that he is infinitely more than he ever seemed to be, but he is still, at the very core,

you start to realize that he never considered anything or anybody real before, and as you traveled and adventured and defeated corypheus, he learns that this world is in fact real and that the creation of the veil didn't make anybody less of a person. that's how his character develops.it's just as important as leliana's morality or the iron bull's loyalty or cole's identity, but perhaps, not as evident.

yeah, some people are going to say that he's a problematic character, that his romance isn't as good as people say that it is. and yes, those people are entirely entitled to their opinion. and okay, he looks like an egg and i was a little pissed at his condescending behavior. but for me, it was the fact that it felt as though he was letting himself be himself. solas, the man who despises tea and sets his own coattails on fire. after all, he did use himself as a disguise, and i feel like spending time with my lavellan and the rest of the dai crew allowed him to be himself instead of the terrifying god that the dalish think he is or the leader of a rebellion that he is still leading today. and he grows. he really does. if you listen with his banter with cassandra, you can tell that he respects her and her faith. he focuses so much on freedom and self-determination and power's ability to corrupt. he loves the fade and the spirits.

and wow !! trespasser ended me !!! especially that exchange where lavellan asserts, "solas, var lath vir suledin!" and solas pauses and looks at her with the saddest eyes and says softly, "i wish it could, vhenan." aND THE MUSIC my god the dlc music never fails to wrench my heart.(and he even paints a mural of his own ass man that takes some courage to do wowowowowoww)

and now, on a more personal note, i find myself relating to solas a lot more than i originally thought i did. he's stubborn and pessimistic, and he seems to be unable to trust others but yet, doesn't want to be the only one to carry all of this power and responsibility. i sorta relate since i've definitely been in multiple situations where i've tried to fix things, but everything just got worse and worse, and i can feel that desperation of trying to make things right again (but ofc not on such a huge scale as he has). also, idk if this is reaching too far, but i think that he has a tendency to disassociate a bit at times? and yeah, i have a tendency to do that too, and it's so disorienting when i realize what's going on and what's happening, and it must be so disconcerting for him to live in a world that is so completely different than what he used to know and to live with the fact that he was the one who caused it to happen.

another thing to consider about solas is the fact that we still don't know many details regarding his intentions and how he plans to execute them just yet. we only know that he's trying to bring down the veil in order to undo what he considers to be his biggest mistake. i've seen a lot of interesting meta + theories on tumblr about who he was as a "god" and the divinity that he denies as well as connections to lyrium, the fade, the titans, and the evanuris themselves. i think that one theory in particular that i remember clearly is the one theory regarding the accumulation of power through worship and how beliefs can shape a god. i can't find the exact post now, but that's definitely a good read.

ok wow this has become a rambling mess of an answer and i sincerely apologize ;; it's not rlly coherent at all rip

anyhow !! i'm !! just so !! excited !! for dragon age 4 !!man, think about all the lore!! think about fen'harel and his rebellion, the forgotten ones, the evanuris, the blight, the red lyrium, the titans, mythal, tevinter !!!!!!! like shit !!! i'm literally shaking with excitement right now :"))))))
