Nationwide no other tourist strip is topping I-Drive but Arcade Monsters is the priceist "Free To Play" barcade I've been to in several states.
There's several locations, the one in SRQ the lowest cost but the most Eurocentric, so I opted for I-Drive as a farewell to FL of sorts.
$28 for really a handful of games. Eh, I've spent less in Memphis, TN and Astoria, OR and got the same results.
Shit just dont hit the same when FL is not the moneypot I knew it for when I first came out here 4 years ago.
Going from a min. Of. $300/wk. To $0/wk. when 'Bama has work and Texas will put me in porn, the next time I touch FL will be to touch base to go abroad. R.I.P.
*Beat X-Men vs. Street Fighter with Chun-Li/Storm. Those lightning kicks to Apocalypse's head sealed the deal.
** Beat Tekken 8 with Kazuya on some emulator. Arcade Monsters had WAY too many emulators. Not a fan of those. When I saw there was an MvC bootleg that had MvC skins but a KOF interface, I was ready to leave.
Official over everything.

Orlando’s International Drive is rife with chain restaurants everywhere, including at The Pointe, a lifestyle center with restaurants, some shops, and some entertainment options, but I have to give credit where credit is due: Kavas Tacos + Taqueria is styled like a big chain, but it’s part of a local restaurant group (Merakai) that only owns one other restaurant: its sister restaurant Taverna Opa. (I went there  the next day, but it deserves its own post.) The food here was solid, and the happy hour especially was generous, and it was the first positive restaurant experience I had while staying in this part of Orlando. 
The ceviche trio was a highlight, as was the queso, but I think that’s because I was really craving some queso at that time.
They also bring in a fire dancer a few times a night, much like they bring a belly dancer to Taverna Opa upstairs, and it’s pretty impressive, but to be honest the latter is more interactive while this is literally barred off for obvious safety reasons.

Picked this up at I-Drive the other day and I got to thinking : who are the Afro women on my teams (L.A. and U.S. respectively) :
Tumblr media
*Yeah Lily EASILY should have got the cover :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Had to close it off with that Ethiopian smile ... any female from North Africa from my experience always has a memorable mug. Still though, Lily? What the fuck is Alex Morgan doing on the cover ?!?!
** Now I'ma keep it a bean. My city (Angel City FC) has a couple cuties :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
... but that can be evened out with the Butches. Not surprising given the way my city treats Afro-centric people in general. And of course the mulatto one's are incomparable with the more masculine and mealninated one's because of negative optics when if you put Girma in L.A. she'd blow Gorden and Leroux out the water.
*** Bottom line Morgan on the cover is pure eugenicism in a Euro country. Body Armor tripping when sex sells and there are WAY sexier females on the U.S. team. They just happen to be the opposite of the U.S.' major demographic.

Yelp Elite Event: 2nd Annual Dine & Play at ICON Park
“What’s it like being a food influencer?” “Why do you Yelp and write reviews?”
It’s a question I get asked after I mention I go to Yelp Elite events or do influencer stories for restaurants and food brands. To answer simply— it’s fun & rewarding! :) It started as a hobby and a way for me to meet new people. I enjoy writing and trying new things. I get to be a part of the foodie community. When I had severe depression during Covid, I turned to Yelping as a hobby. I also made friends through the foodie & Yelp community when I moved to San Jose & Florida. Besides Yelping, I also write reviews on Google Maps as a Local Guide. Again, it’s mainly just for fun and bragging rights… but that’s for another post. I started writing on Google Maps a few months ago and I’m at level 6 with over 500k views on my reviews.
Tumblr media
Let’s Get Back to Talking About Yelp’s 2nd Annual Dine & Play @ ICON Park ^.^
You can find my original Yelp review here. Below is a copy of it:
”Free valet or garage parking. A total of 13 businesses participated in this Yelp elite event. Check-in was smooth! I'm looking forward to seeing our group photo! -- 1) Brother Jimmy's (Check-In): The Mac and cheese was the favorite thing I tasted from them. The buffalo cauliflower was tart. The pulled pork & chicken sandwich was bomb. 2) Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips: The Fish, Shrimp, & Chips were yummy. It came with 2 sauces. Signature Milkshake. 3) Tin Roof: Great live music (I think it's all day) & tacos. 4) Sloppy Joe's: Sloppy Joe hot dogs, nachos, mojitos, & margaritas. Free t-shirt! 5) The Lawn Bar: Tequila Sunrise was complimentary. 6) Brick & Fire Pizza: Slice of exotic pizza... first time I had fried banana pepper. 7) I-Cafe De Paris: Yummy strawberry & chocolate crepe; one of my event favorites. 8) The Wheelhouse Bar: Received a souvenir cup with my drink! 9) Max Action Arena: Received a Play Card. :) 10) In the Game: Received a Play Card. :) 11) Sky Bar: Complimentary drink... thank you for the High Noon. 12) Wheel of Icon Park: The Ferris wheel ride with my Yelp Elite squad was a memorable experience! 13) The Museum of Illusions: It was closed at 8 PM before the event ended. :(“

My fav food during the event was between Brother Jimmy’s & Gordon Ramsay’s. Overall, ICON Park is a cool tourist spot. I’m hoping to eventually see Madame Tussard’s Wax Museum. The Museum of Illusions changes their theme and had Halloween decor up. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see it. I have been once during normal season. I’’m from the Bay Area, and I’ve never seen the Wax Museum there but I liked the SF’s Museum of Illusions better. If you’ve think you’ve seen everything, each city is different. SF’s Museum of Illusions uses more backdrops. Orlando’s has a consistent theme and few backdrops. They are entirely different museums.
Enjoy the photos I captured from the event!

I think protests can be extremely effective but I think the reason more of them aren't is a lot of them are fundamentally emotional expressions and not highly disciplined actions with clear strategy and specific goals.

in honor of international kissing day I would like to once again raise awareness of this specific sandray moment because it remains one of my favorite scenes and I still think about it on a regular basis--

everyone listen to me right now. trans men & transmascs are targets of misogyny. crazy idea i know but when youre seen as a woman and/or shoved into the woman category people will be misogynistic to you. it is fuckign crazy the amount of posts ive been seeing syaing stuff like "trans men think theyre exempt from being mras cause the dr said they were a girl once" or "having a pussy doesnt mean you cant be sexist" and its like. YEAH OBVIOUSLY having a pussy doesnt mean you cant be sexist but jesus christ the presumption that trans men are unaffected by their asab or that theyve never ever experienced anything like misogyny is wilddd!! not to mention why are we still referring to transmascs by their (assumed) genitals. like its obviously vile to reduce transfems & trans women to their genitals but the same people who realize this seem to have no problem doing it to transmascs

I took a jaunt up International Drive to Whole Foods one afternoon to get some room snacks and drinks, which was a combination of taking the local LYNX bus system because the local trolley system was nowhere to be found that day because it was rainy. (I was also annoyed because the hotel we stayed at provided free daily passes to said trolley system that were mostly unusable during our stay.)
I had vague memories of seeing the “world’s largest McDonald’s” when I was on the Orlando leg of a weeklong school trip to Florida back in the summer of 1997, but that memory was filed deep into the brain until I saw this place while walking to said Whole Foods and I saw that it’s the “largest entertainment McDonald’s,” which according to Wikipedia is still the same building (or at least the same site) from 1976, so I guess time is a flat circle sometimes. 
Anyway, I didn’t go in, but I saw this pretty sweet Great Egret in the parking lot, which was fun, and I got to see some highlights of their unique menu, like pizza and Belgian waffles, which felt very much like a gimmick, but that is basically the ethos of International Drive.

Hi hello my computer exploded earlier this week so apologies for the cursed and late announcement post, but prepare yourselves! The first Saturday of a new month is tomorrow, which means it's time for another...
Tumblr media
[VS] Art Party
July 6th, 2024 Captain's Cut, Stormbluff Isle Bloodtide Coast
Round 1 (EU): 9pm-12am CEST (3pm EDT) Round 2 (NA): 7pm-10pm EDT (1am CEST)
For those who aren’t familiar with art parties, they’re a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV - in-game get-togethers for artists/writers/creatives of all types to hang out, chat, and create together! Get your favorite character/look together, head to the location, find someone that catches your eye, and create! Afterwards, everyone posts their creations in a shared tag (ours is #VSArtParty) so others can see, interact, and share! Tl;dr: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!
Time and /squadjoin information is under the cut, but will also be posted again via reblogs as the squads go up on the day of the party!
Location Information:
It's another, proper beach episode! While I don't have the technical capacity at the moment to get a map screenshot of the location, it's essentially the southwest edge of Stormbluff Isle, the nearest waypoint being Stormbluff Waypoint! Here's a picture from the wiki of the entire island for reference:
Tumblr media
Time & Squad Details:
As we always do, we’ll be having two parties - one on EU servers and one on NA ones - with an hour break in between. People tend to arrive early and/or jump between accounts as soon as the break comes up, so don’t be surprised to see tags and announcements going up ahead of schedule!
The first party will be on EU servers and begin at 9pm Central European Summer Time (aka 3pm Eastern Daylight Time or 5 hours before in-game reset). This time due to work conflicts I will NOT be the one starting the squad, but will instead be joining about an hour or so in! So, please welcome our first 'guest' [VS] tag, @vampiricsheep! Please /squadjoin or whisper Vegetarian Maneater for an invite in my absence, it'll treat you well and with my blessing. ♥
The second party will be on NA servers and begin at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time (aka 1am Central European Summer Time or an hour before in-game reset). I’ll be back to hosting this one and be on my main account, so to join either /squadjoin or whisper Kirslyn for an invite.
Closing Words
I said it at the top of the post but here I am saying it again - I am so sorry for the delay. The intention was to get this out on Mon/Tues at the latest due to me being busy with Dawntrail, but both my SSDs thought it was time to fry themselves and I've been scrambling to rebuild everything from scratch ever since. I've more or less got things back to a usable state now though, so I look forward to seeing everyone (and their shiny new anet-sanctioned beach outfits?) tomorrow! Thank you for always coming out to these and making them fun, they're one of the highlights of my time in game! ♥♥♥

Mihawk Headcannons
Some of the headcannons I have about Mihawk that have recently been eating a whole through my brain like a very persistent worm.
These are all just my hopes and dreams based on no evidence whatsoever so yeah the resolute language is just for jokes. - When we see Mihawk at Roger's execution he is 19 and has to wear Yoru across his back because she is too tall for him. Meaning that there was a good at least 5 years where Mihawk prayed every day that he would continue to grow so he could wear Yoru down his back and live out his aesthetic.
-Also, Yoru probably weighed more than 19-year-old Mihawk, and that weight is not distributed evenly, especially with how Mihawk was wearing her across his back. And Mihawk even then was masterfully skilled of course, but say, every now and again he'd be distracted, maybe by a certain redhead whose to say🤷🏿‍♀️, and forget to counterbalance losing him his ever-present fight with gravity. All this to say was that in the right circumstances, young Mihawk was very tippable and had to quickly become acquainted with the expert skill of picking yourself up while on the sand, with a sword bigger than you are strapped across his back.
- I don't really care how but it is imperative to me that Mihawk knew Rayleigh, Garp, Benn and Yasopp as a teenager/very young adult and they used to clown him relentlessly. Garp and Ray are too damn old to be scared of a teenage Mihawk, Yasopp has no self-preservation and Benn has always recognized Mihawk as the awkward, sarcastic mess he is and has had to scold him just as much as his Captain. It's why they are the two rhp he's most familiar with and Benn is his favorite (captain included) - He is Spanish. I know a lot of people headcanon Romanian because of the whole Dracula lives in a dark castle thing but I will stand by he looks like a Spanish Conquistador till my dying day. And obviously, because people don't have to be from just one place he can deffs be both! But yeah I think he's Spanish and should speak/understand Spanish solely because Doffy is also Spanish (can't believe people thought he was German his name is literally Donquioxte) and regularly tries to rizz people up at the Warlord mewting (namely Crocodile) in Spanish and Mihawk (the only other Spanish speaker) has to bare the burden of comprehension of the truly fluid and vile nonsense Doffy is spewing. And Doffy who of course also clocks this is trying to go for a record of what nobody is quiet sure, but whatever it is Mihawk will be damned before he loses at anything to that damn bird
- This one gonna be very brief because the rest of this has been pretty lighthearted and I don't want to harsh the vibes too much. But Mihawk definitely has scars on his back like not just one but properly multiple. And given the fact that he was supposedly betrayed, his mistrust and loner attitude, and the fact that his eyes are very rare and probably special all signs point to; he was definitely at one point hunted as a child till he turned hunter.

The Orlando Auto Museum
The Orlando Auto Museum
5250 International Drive
Orlando, Florida 32819
(Free Parking & Located inside Dezerland Indoor Theme Park)
Tickets
I spent a day at The Auto Museum in Orlando which holds one of the largest car collections in the world. There are over 2,000 vehicles valued at $200 million!
Outfit of the Day: A Sporty & Casual look. Balenciaga Hat, YesStyle cover-up & sports bra, Guess shorts, & Nike Air-Force 1’s. Get my YesStyle look here
Before you can enter The Auto Museum, you go through Dezerland’s entrance. Dezerland is an indoor theme park with go-karts, movies, axe-throwing, mini-golf, bowling, & of course The Auto Museum.
Of all the cars, my favorite was seeing the real Batmobile used in the film. I saw authentic military vehicles, James Bond film cars, and more! There were cars from Russia, the 30s & 40s, and other films like Ghostbusters and the famous Delorean from Back-to-the-Future.
This is an excellent detour from your typical Disney trip or outdoor theme parks. It makes a great indoor date or family activity.
If you’re a car-lover or enjoy museums, I would stop by here on your next Orlando trip. :)
