My annual spiral down the DB5K discography. and it always comes back to this.

My close friends will say "Doushite" is my favorite DBSK song and even I think it is. But its Love in the Ice. Live. Always the live version. Nothing will ever beat this.

Its one of the first videos I ever saw of them. And the defining moment that they are the kings in full raw vocals.

They will never show up on my Spotify Wrapped because I have mp3s of all the songs from DB5K era, and I refuse stream the old stuff when 60% of the members dont see a penny. (I will stream the new stuff. Yunho and Changmin deserve those clicks) But I will always come back to them.

[soaps-mohawk]

hiii!!!! im back girliee :) sorry i fell of the face of the earth for a little bit. no pressure to answer this fast its not super important lol

the last few chapters have been so delectable!!! love getting kyle action but also ghoap/gazsoap/ghostgaz was YUM!!!! 🤤🤤 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to get back to the camera/Simon's bond conflicts too tho lol 😅

haven't been able to play much COD recently due to being busy :( (+ I've been playing The Last Of Us and I may be a bit obsessed with Joel Miller.....I really need to stop playing multiple video games at once lol) (also actively playing Genshin Impact)

I HAVE FUN HEADCANNONS

idk where this idea came from but I have a headcannon that the TV in the rec room is just lowkey the worst. Old, slow, and the base is out in the middle of nowhere so it limits a lot of their TV options.

Don't have streaming because it requires a payment/subscription and something about not being able to hook it up to an account/being on a military base/not safe to have clues to their money or personal lives (I know nothing about the military forgive me). They do have cable but because their base is in the middle of buttfuck nowhere they get only the strangest, most low-production channels out there.

I saw a youtube video a while ago about a British reality TV show where a female contestant is shown a bunch of dicks, nothing else, and she has to decide who she'd want to go out with based on that alone 😂😂 it was completely uncensored, so dicks would just be fully hanging out there. that's the type of shit that they get on the cable in the rec room LMFAO

feel like the only option for personalized TV/movies is the old DVD player hooked up to the TV (that was there when they moved into the place 😭) so the boys constantly have a collection of DVDs they're always rewatching, or they buy new ones/ship them in when there's something new they want to watch

I'm the type of person who will watch bad movies or reality TV shows just so I can giggle at them, so I FULLY believe that the pack would find some shitty knock-off reality TV show and lock in to watch the new episode every week together

if the boys and/or 'mega ever want to watch something popular/that would usually be on streaming they just have to get it off some backstreet website or something like that (they have burner laptops specifically for this purpose)

hope you're having a good day/night/afternoon and that you have a good week as well :) stay safe, slept, and hydrated!!!<3

— 🌘 !

Aww no need to apologize!! Things happen, people get busy. I'll always be here, hanging out (well, not quite as often right now but i'll see stuff eventually!!)

Aww thank you, thank you I'm glad you enjoyed them!!! They have been rather delicious, but don't worry, we will be getting back into the fluff and ANGST very quickly. I've been dragging the plot out more than I wanted to so now I'm rectifying that lmao.

I own The Last Of Us (it came with my PS4 when I bought it four years ago) but I still haven't played it because I suck at playing games lol. I either play all the way through at once or I play for an hour and then turn it off and don't touch it for months lol. Same even with the Sims. I go through cycles of playing for hours everyday and then not touching it for weeks and weeks.

No but like that idea would be so true lmaoo. Just an old fuzzy TV that has no streaming capabilities. They have a very vast collection of DVDs (organized by Simon of course) which is how they keep themselves sane lmao. They get like ten channels and flip between sports and daytime TV and game shows 😂 it's a routine now, sitting and watching some random game show at night.

Hey, they break a lot of laws already, what's the shame in playing pirates? 😉

[punk-o-ween]

Yeah I’ve been watching since I was little. My cousin and I watched WWF/E. My granda showed me WCW. I leaned more to WWF. Then yeah early 2000s I came across TNA. It was Alex Shelley and the X Division and I kept tabs and got really into his stuff and then found AJ etc.

There’s so much wrestling, anything I ever watched or bought on DVD was a hyper fixation and my own research.

I think it’s rad you went to Wiki to read about the guns and want to learn more. It’s not a requirement to be a fan, cause you are a fan, but it’s cool you’re opening yourself up to other wrestling things too. :)

omg thats so fucking sweet and i love how its always that one family member that gets you into wrestling for the long run...wrestling fans always have so much lore behind how they became a fan its wild HELPPP

and yeah omg i was reading abt that from the wiki and how aj styles was in tna as well, along with samoa joe and bobby roode and i was like WHATTT bc we know them to be so big today and i find that so cool

im so glad i did too bc gosh i feel my bones tingle whenevrr i talk abt mcmg so i know its a good sign that im gonna be yapping abt them for many years to come LMFAO, i cant wait to see what they do in wwe !! :-D

OSRR: 3082

i DID get to write today! and i watched tv and showed some of my favorite shows to my mom. she didn't really enjoy them. but that's okay.

i ended up running a lot of errands today with her and didn't really get to sit down and do anything until like 3pm, which was startling because mom woke me up earlier than i requested. i'm trying to get my sleep schedule back on track so i can make it to work on a daily basis, so i'm trying to go to bed earlier and fall asleep earlier so i can wake up earlier. but if i have my mom wake me up at a consistent time, it'll make everything else easier to make consistent, too. i have no internal reward system, so doing it myself doesn't work. i sit up anyway at night and read until i tire myself out. sucks.

i got to chat with a friend i haven't talked to in a hot minute. one of the shows i showed my parents was a show this friend showed to me, and she also bought the dvd sets of it because it was our thing to watch together. so i set it up and watched a couple eps and it reminded me of her so i reached out and sent her a message and a picture of simon. we ended up chatting back and forth a little bit as i was getting ready for bed not too long ago, and it was nice to just kind of catch up for a bit. i'm probably gonna see if i can call her at some point just to hear her voice again. she's great.

while mom and i were out we stopped at starbucks and i ended up discovering that a cup of hot cocoa like what i get has about 30mg of caffeine in it, which explains why i'm able to function when i stop for it at breakfast. caffeine helps me focus because it's a stimulant. i stop for breakfast before taking my meds, and i drink my cocoa all the way to work, where i take my meds at 9:30 usually. that way, i have the caffeine to jumpstart my system while the medication works its way through my blood, meaning i can get up and go and keep going until the day is done, usually around 11:30 if i take my meds at the proper time. so im glad i have a scientific explanation for it. it's kinda cool.

and i talked to joel a little bit. i let him know my second covid test (serial testing) from this morning was negative so i am officially free of covid, so i should be seeing him sooner than later. i'm excited to see him. i've missed him. i miss him when i get sick. i'm okay at taking care of myself when i'm sick, but i prefer having help. since joel's got a job and is usually busy during the day even if he doesn't, i end up taking meds and sleeping, but i still end up needing to cook and get things and go out when that happens because there's no one else to ask to get it for me. at home, i can take meds and sleep, and still get fed things that are nutritious and have juice and stuff when i don't think water is appealing (i'm happy to report i can once again drink water, i have missed its refreshment). so i'm usually at home when i'm sick or injured. it's just how it happens.

as for the rest of the day, that's basically what happened. i also paid my bills and sent my friends a message basically saying i was grateful that i have the number of brain cells working that i do because if any more of them were broken i'd be panicking all the time. specifically this is in reference to my foresight to keep some money on hand to pay my bills when i'm out of work, because it works in my favor particularly because i'm going to be out of work again for a while because of my shoulder. i'm 28 sleeps away from surgery, and i'm honestly so excited to not have this instability anymore. it'll suck for a while because i won't be able to drive myself places, but mom can drive me and so can joel - an unlicensed driver above the age of 15½, in my state, can drive if another person in the car is above 25 and licensed. so joel can drive me places and we'll have no problem. we just have to pull his car out. or he'll get used to driving my car and we can deal with that that way. it's all good. either way, the two or three months that i'll need to be driven around will get him more practice to get his license with confidence.

and i think that's it. i'm tired. i gotta figure out a birthday gift for an 11 year old. i have some ideas. but i also need to write tomorrow and i need to work on my résumé so i can apply to big girl jobs. i'll probably get starbucks in the morning too. that'd be nice. i also did my laundry today. that's a relief. it's been a hot minute since i did my laundry. but mostly, i'm just glad i don't have covid anymore.

growing up a child of divorce and neglect meant a lot of traumatic moments obviously- but for the sake of this post we’re throwing most of that aspect away to talk about a smaller issue that i’ve come to realize holds a lot more weight than i ever thought it would.

my dream as a kid was always to have all of the stuff i collected in one space. dvds, cds, video game consoles, toys, plushies, figures, you name it. and until i was about 13 or 14, the room of the house i was neglected at (dads) felt so absolutely barren becus i didn’t have the chance to really go outside and buy stuff for it, and bringing stuff back and forth (unless it was my fav stuffed animal) felt like such a hassle. hell, i barely even had any clothes there and i wasn’t taught how to do laundry for awhile which made it worse.

what does this have to do with the present day you may ask? well, as of january 15 of this year, i officially gained some courage and moved out of my dads house. however i didn’t start moving any of my things till months later. i got a couple essential items here and there but now that it’s summer i’ve officially started getting more things in bulk from there and moving it over. it’s literally a 5 minute walk so it’s not hard to do at all. but i can’t help but have conflicting emotions from it all. for one, my dream of all my stuff being in a single room/house is finally coming true, and i can collectively look at what i all have together. i didn’t think this would happen till i got a new apartment or house of my own after college (so like… around 22 years old compared to being 17). but on the other hand, i can’t help but feel a bit sad. the layout of each room was unique how it was, and i managed to cultivate a safe space at my dads out of really shitty circumstances. in the span of the 3 years where i gained friends and a sense of direction, i could finally obtain merch and other items that made me happy and put them in my dads house, so it wasn’t some barren wasteland that i dreaded. seeing as though that’s where i spent all my time at that house, it only seemed right for it to look good. slowly stripping this room apart makes me really sad that i was destroying the work i put in to make a good environment for myself. but then comes an even bigger problem. i also have become in those three years a MASSIVE hoarder. and the only way that everything fit was having two spaces. and now i will only have one. i quickly went from a kid who wanted so many new products and toys to help me escape my reality, to an almost adult who bought too many things in an attempt to salvage their inner child. it’s quite the heartbreaking thing to see becus many of the items i have now (unless they’re from a specific person i cherish or already have sentimental value ) don’t really have much meaning on their own anymore and it sucks. i would say that money can buy happiness, but only for a limited amount of time. i deep cleaned out my closet to make room for at least some of the stuff from my dads, and i did manage to get three full garbage bags of things im going to donate to goodwill, so i’m glad that i am giving back in some way. but i’m still astonished that -even after that- how much stuff can pile up and eventually just come to be decoration after thinking it would be the key to your life. yes, i’m still going to collect, especially items you can actually use (physical media), but man it really hits different when you can visualize how many items you actually own. it’s a bit terrifying honestly. nevertheless, i do love the act of actually organizing so that aspect will be fun, and i don’t think it’s all completely bad becus there are a few gems that i’m really proud of owning.

a side story to top this all off- i made the mistake of carrying four huge bags full of clothes yesterday as i walked home in a path where i would see a lot of people. i could’ve waited like a half an hour until my dad was ready to load his car with my stuff, but i was so stubborn and wanted to leave his house ASAP. i had it in my mind the whole time that i probably looked like a homeless child (seeing as though me and my mom see this one homeless guy with 20 bags constantly throughout our neighborhood). shameful needless embarrassment aside, it’s really sad that my own stubbornness is what made me look like an “outcast” by society. my family is not exactly financially stable ourselves, but i obviously have a house as stated. it made me think about how many homeless people really only have their items to keep themselves sane. you come to appreciate what you *do* have becus of that. i really hope i come to a point in my life where i can stop buying things i don’t need so i can give back to others that cherish and need their items so much more. or possibly find a balance of my money- with helping others as my main priority while just buying myself things at certain times of the year. and referring to the root of this story, i hope i can also get to a point where i’m not so fucking stubborn and holding that strong of a grudge that i can tolerate my dad for an extra half an hour. but that’s a whole other story 😭

LOOK AT THAT QUALITY DIFFERENCE LIKE WTF

[brittlebutch]

saw an article that called Bogus Journey a “mediocre sequel” like. what movie did you watch, idiot, every movie in this series is a Gift

[izzystinyhands]

I cant believe i forgot about that scene in the goonies where they try desperately to stick a statues penis back on before their mother notices while the other kid spins tales of absolute horror to the poor spanish (?) lady

[sweeethinny]

Can you please write something involving hinny watching horror movie pls?🤭

ok honey, this took me sooooooooo long. im so so so sorry <3

I didn't know what to write, because I don't watch a lot of horror movies, and I didn't know what to do, but then THIS happened. my best friend is not afraid of ANYTHING as i hug my legs in fear of something pulling my foot :) she's that person who loves watching horror movies, and I almost feel sick when a chase scene starts happening or when there's jumping scare this happened when we watched ''I see you'' on Netflix very good this movie, I recommend it!

*yes, it's a new movie, but who cares :)

--------

Ginny wasn't used to being afraid of movies. Harry was this person.

Harry always got scared in jumping scares, he would jump on the couch and put his hand in front of his face, his eyes almost closing as he waited for the scene to end. He would complain in fear, hug her, and sometimes put his feet up on the sofa, hugging his knees like a child.

It was cute, and she never made fun of it.

But they liked to watch horror movies, and it had become a habit since Harry bought the DVD player and TV, and it took them almost a week to get it installed, but they did, and now they always watch movies at the end of week. It was a routine.

Romance, drama, horror, suspense... everything but movies where the dog dies, because Ginny hated to suffer so much.

But today, they didn't have high expectations. It was a movie they didn't really know what it was about, and Ginny almost gave up in the first scene of the movie, but Harry insisted it would be good and they had to at least try.

"I overheard some people talking about this movie at the restaurant, please let's at least give it a try." He looked at her, eyes gleaming, taking the remote from her hand and they both went back to watching.

Yes, Ginny wasn't scared of anything, but she was scared now.

"NO!" she complained, putting a hand to her face and denying it. "Urg, I hate this, Harry," A strange agony surged through her, as if she was going to look away and find herself trapped in the same way the character in the movie was. "We need light!" Ginny said, getting up and going to the lamp Harry had bought at a thrift store and turning it on, making the room and all the shadows less frightening.

"I've never seen you scared," Harry chuckled, looking at her looking a little shocked. ‘’Wow… I-’’

"But it's bizarre, don't you think?!" Ginny felt her skin crawl, and she shivered on the couch, glad the scene was over. "Shit movie, I hated it."

Harry lay down next to her, hugging her and smiling as he kept watching. ‘’Don't worry, let's stay close to each other, I protell protect you…’’

ok i know i keep coming back to lost cause but it really is my favorite of yours (until i finish vertical transmissions at least) so for the dvd commentary thing:

“Did you—kriff, where did you get the money?” Tup lifted out the other two bottles and looked at them, still with that complicated expression on his face. His eyes were all wide and his mouth was open, but it wasn’t standard Tup-surprise, it was something else.

Fuck.

Do you not like them? Dogma asked, worried. He could have gotten the wrong smell. What if Tup was allergic to jogan fruit? What if he hated jogan fruit? What if—

“No, little gods, no. Kark. Dogma.” Tup grabbed his face again, then pulled him into a hug. The bottles clattered to the side but that was ok; Dogma had bought ones that would hold up well during campaigns. “Dogma. This is—I can’t—you’re so karking sweet, I—I love them, thank you, I just—”

Okay. Tup was being weird about it, but that was fine. As long as he liked them. Tup squeezed Dogma even tighter, tight enough to pull an embarrassing squeak out of Dogma, but he didn’t mind. Dogma patted Tup’s shoulder a few times and buried his nose in the crook of Tup’s neck and finally let himself breathe.

thank u sm!! ASJFKESKD im so glad u like it!! lost cause is def one of my favorite fics that i've written lol (here on ao3)

commentary ask game!

His eyes were all wide and his mouth was open, but it wasn’t standard Tup-surprise, it was something else.

ok so ... i'm someone who has trouble with reading expression and body language unless i have, like, a benchmark for it lol. so while i don't like, outright CATALOGUE expressions, it can be, y'know, difficult sometimes. and i think dogma does the same kind of thing, hence why he knows certain expressions are tup-surprise and some are tup-sadness and others are tup-excitement. i am also a strong believer that clones, while having similar behavioral patterns and expressions--like people who live in a certain region or state--don't have identical expressions. so while dogma would be able to 'read' someone from his own squad or that he's close to, someone from, say, the 212th or 104th would be a lot harder or even impossible

What if Tup was allergic to jogan fruit? What if he hated jogan fruit? What if—

In Which Dogma Considers All Angles! Always! Every Angle! while this is good in a tactical setting, this can also lead to a fair bit of overthinking. he's got a problem-analysis-solution mind, so there's a little part of his brain dedicated to finding problems all. the. time. hence. yeah (waves hand vaguely at dogma)

Dogma had bought ones that would hold up well during campaigns.

once again: dogma-typical overthinking and thoughtfulness in one (1) package!

Okay. Tup was being weird about it, but that was fine. As long as he liked them.

dogma's love language isn't verbal or physical (it's acts of service and quality time, among other things lol) so displays of overt gratitude often take him by surprise. it's not that he's ungrateful or he thinks that someone shouldn't be grateful, it's just kind of a mistranslation for him a lot of the time

Dogma patted Tup’s shoulder a few times and buried his nose in the crook of Tup’s neck and finally let himself breathe.

YOU KNOW WHEN. someone hugs you REALLY fucking hard and just squeezes the breath out of you but you're like ah. here we go. this is what i needed. that's what i was aiming for here lol

my dvd arrived yesterday. and i am floored at how gorgeous the real thing is. excuse the blurred photo. my hand is always so shaky.

i bought the animate store version because as a wise friend of mine said, "we stick to the one with the most number of bonuses". :D

another friend showed me her tokuten from another shop, the acrylic panel/board and it's gorgeous as well! it's almost the same size of the dvd box itself. we were both shocked XD

the special booklet included in the dvd has the contents from the movie pamphlet that was sold during the movie screening in japan. thanks a lot haniwa, the overseas fans or those who werent able to buy the pamphlet, can now have access to the contents. i think the only difference are about 4 questions to aizou and yuujirou's interviews. i only skimmed the booklet at this point so i am not yet entirely sure.

the poster is not a paper-type. but hard like the material in clear files. i have no use for posters and i avoid them usually, so im glad this one's not the usual paper kind.

the inside of the dvd box are blue and yellow petals on the upper part with the last 3 lines of kono sekai written at the center. got emotional when i saw it, that i could only stare at it for several seconds. the bottom part are blue and yellow roses. the dvd box is gorgeous inside and out!

PS. there's a key hole (not actual but an illustration) on the box, makes it feel like a treasure box haha

close-up photos for the can badges!

i admit im not particularly fond of this kind of merch and most of the can badges i have here are either bonuses or freebies. but i love the colors of these. kinda matte if you look at it from afar (?). they're my favorite now.

ah, before i forget, the special cd is lipxlip filmxlive radio @ 18min long. it's hilarious as expected and feels more unhinged than docchi kiss' lipxlip radio 😆😆

~

the rest in my parcel are from previous months' purchases, around march or april, i think? i was surprised when i saw an aizou towel i didnt remember buying, which turned out to be a freebie from the seller, who is also a lipxlip fan and whom i consider a friend ≧∇≦♡ thank you so so much. my box arriving a few days before my birthday already makes me very happy but this gift makes me even happier!

and speaking of happiness, aizou happi is finally with me 😭 i've been so lucky to be able to spot it in an online shop and actually cheaper than the ones i saw at jp reselling sites 😭😭 it's quite big when i wore it but i love it with all my heart.

[chibimyumi]

recently found out about yana’s past and some of the things shes written... 😖 do you have any opinions on it because i feel like most kuro blogs have just skipped over it completely... also, do you know if i purchase a musical dvd, would the money go to her aswell? im a little on edge about it all 😭

【Related post: Will buying the DVD still support the cast? -Yes】

Dear Anon,

I have to admit I myself “skipped” over Yana’s past works too because the sub-genre (shota-con) she as Yanao Rock concerned herself with is insufferable to me. I did read Rust Blaster, and I remember finishing it, putting it down and smiling: “I am so glad Yana improved.”

Now about the musical DVDs. Yes, don’t worry! In order to produce the musical, MKP had to buy the rights, which goes to Yana of course. And in order to produce and sell the DVDs, Yana also needs to be paid for the rights. For every renewed demand, the producers buy more rights from Yana to do so.

Japan has very strict rules about rights, even to the point that a person’s face can have “rights of personal portrayal” (肖像権 Shouzouken) which requires a third party to buy a license to use said face. This strictness is the reason Alan and Eric could never become Yana’s own unless she buys them, for example. So it is extremely unlikely that Yana’s rights will be infringed behind closed doors. The reason non-Japanese stores don’t sell Kuromyu DVDs officially (only through proxy) is because overseas sellers have not bought the rights from MKP and Yana.

I hope this helps.

in the past couple years i keep getting hopelessly obsessed with various pieces of media that exactly 11 people care about and its very interesting because it’s really made me appreciate physical and/or offline media even more than i already did

this is kinda specific but for the better part of like 2015-2019 i had like this weird problem where I was the only person I knew of with a copy of the 1992 ottawa ballet company tv movie The Tin Soldier narrated by Sally Struthers (essentially the pilot for the canadian childrens show The Toy Castle) and while it took me a while to actually digitize it (it’s a vhs copy but luckily my local library has vhs conversion stuff) it was...very strange, the feeling of like “come on there has to be SOMEWHERE on the internet where you can watch this got damn tv movie my shitty vhs copy CANT be the only hope” and luckily i wasn’t the only hope ‘cause sometime in 2019 someone uploaded their own copy to youtube, and like, okay both of our copies are bad quality but in different ways sjkdladskjalajdfd the copy on youtube seems like it might be from a dvd but it has a lot of weird artifacts and framerate jumping, and mine is a 50 minute movie on a cheap EP tape and BOY does it look it hjkfdshjds it also has some overscan problems. so if you want to watch the tin soldier 1992 narrated by sally struthers you can choose from one kinda funky copy on youtube or i guess you can ask for my Very Funky vhs rip if you want orz but i’m glad i have it, its honestly one of my prized posessions (even if i did buy it for 7 dollars years ago)

about two years ago i got incredibly obsessed with the song Anata wa Umi no Soko by Mikoto Momono, the theme song for the ps1 game Moonlight Syndrome (its a good song) BUT the problem was at the time the only place you could really listen to it was youtube (and maybe apple music? i dont count that because 1) I dunno if it would be available in my region and 2) if you ever ask me to make an apple account again im going to replace your legs) and like, a shortened version ripped from the game, but like I WANTED to hear a higher quality version!!! so i spent forever searching for a reasonably priced copy of an ep by the artist that included it (sour milk sea) and that took a while bUT I GOT IT it was very cheap but spotless, i guess it was under 15 dollars because it didn’t have an obi anymore (if it ever had one). anyway its interesting cause now i have a really fucked up cd collection: sour milk sea by mikoto momono and some taylor swift album a friend gave to me because he had bought a couple copies (for the polaroids) from target when it existed in canada dsadjghfdsasdfddsa OH and i also ended up with a used copy of the launch edition of etrian odyssey 5 so now i have that lil sound selection cd too lol

actually speaking of fucked up media collections my home video collection is pretty fucked too like it consists of the aforementioned tin soldier vhs, a dvd of the first tinkerbell movie i got for my birthday when i was like 10 (it has a really nice and glittery dust cover thing), that one bargain bin type straight to dvd movie A Fairy Tale Christmas (a friend bought it for me as a goof, I should see if she wants to watch it with me sometime), and the other day I listened to an english fan translation of the famicom sound novel Otogirisou and then I got lost in the sauce (did you know there was a 2016 game that was both a sequel to otogirisou while also being a tie in crossover game to danganronpa...for some reason thats blowing my mind) and i found out there was a movie based off it and even though it seems to have pretty polarizing critical reception i STILL wanna see it so bad BUT i couldnt find it anywhere online!!! what the hell!!!! it was even released in north america with english subtitles and a dub??? a fucking dub???? i always forget dubbing live action movies was a pretty big thing before the 10s, its probably not necessarily Good as it is from 2004 but it is fascinating at least... ANYWAY it was so hard to find!!!!!!! not even if I yarr and maybe harr!!!!!! but luckily i was able to find a really cheap dvd copy so I guess add that to my fucked up home video collection jkjdsagkfdjsdfsd but im glad, struggling to find these things online at all, legally or otherwise, has really made me understand just how important it is to have physical stuff and offline stuff and backups of backups because media can be. fleeting. especially if its something thats not even technically obscure or lost or anything, just weirdly inaccessible because maybe 3 people care about it lol
