#kind of like quicksand because I thought I'd hear them all the time but never did haha

Just learnt about the Concorde more. I knew a bit and I knew they were cool, BUT HOLY FUCKING FUCK GUYS they were UTTERLY INCREDIBLE! HOLY SHIT!

I didn't know that they were doing test flights after the Air France crash but apparently one of their London to NYC test flights arrived in NYC minutes before the planes hit the Twin Towers in 2001. What a death knell...

To compound even more irony upon it, the source I looked at published 4 years ago, and they made mention of how 2001 basically destroyed the industry overnight, but there is a new supersonic program on the way... well... I can think of another industry-destroying event that took that out... :(

[batri-jopa]

I think I finally understood this.

Whoever I recommend this movie do not became its fan. My enthusiasm probably only makes it worse for them because they watch it and experience the what's-a-big-deal moment... Like nobody falls in love with this movie at the first sight. I mean someone may like it of course. Somebody else can even say they liked it a lot. But nobody loves it wholeheartedly after first watching.

It all depends if that first watching left something in you.

This could be anything. Maybe just that new kind of music you want to hear again. Maybe a dance scene you wish to see once more. Maybe you read a review judging the character's motivation in a way you could not agree and rewatch to make yourself sure about it. Maybe you're curious about any possible detail of that different culture you only just learned existed. Maybe you're concerned about any of the social issues of the country you never bothered about before. Maybe there's something unexplainable and hard to verbalise that just caught your interest now.

All in all it means this movie somehow ignited a spark in you that can't be easily put out. And once you make your own decision to watch it the second time just to see more... you're caught in it like in quicksand.

Now rewatching it for god-knows-which time again, after reading all the possible reviews and interviews, after seeing all the screenshots and gifsets for numerous times, knowing it all by heart alreadt - I still feel the need to pause and repeat few scenes...

It doesn't stop to amaze me how easily I could have missed this shared glance! How probable it was that I could have never payed enough attention to the meaning of this whole scene! I might not have bothered about this conversation at all! I could have thought this gesture was just a stop gag! I was so close to be fooled that this tiny detail was an accident and thus uniportant!

All in all if I'd only watch it once - I know would have missed so many things I learned to absolutely love, I would miss adoring all the tiny details like hidden message, deeper meaning, all the subtle allusions and inspirations that were involved into creating this masterpiece!

Ps. I mean the movie And Then We Danced / და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ (2019), dir. Levan Akin but it could probably apply to other great movies that don't show their true value when only seen once.

Right let's talk because I've been having second thoughts about this.

Sigh. What..what do I even say. I've tried to reimagine ow to even discuss anything for this acount and i always feel like I have to rethink my words everytime cause the message could always fall flat or come out wrong. Imagination is key when it come to getting your head around an idea that feels like it's out of left field. You know I have other acounts,tickled related and so on. Not everything about me focuses on things like race. And even still this is more so about getting people to think more so than it's about a fetish. To be honest most of my tickle related ideas I LIKE TO challenge norms and reach for the stars. Whenever I see an idea I can't give my full time towards I start to either lose focus on it or become demoralized if i HAVE A realy good idea that no one is interested in. So imagine it's an idea I put aot of thought in, then I hit a writers block but people LIKE IT! except the people I find like it have apercentage majority of the lees but other target demograpgic is...small. Which wouldn't be a problem if the topic wasn't so... well I mean take a good look. POC ler's on white lees. I'll be honest with you, perhap even if I was getting more blacks than whites it would probabaly still look bad either way. I mean I guess being lee is pretty popular but Thanks for making me feel like a JackAss, I knew I was stepping into quicksand and when I felt ground beneath my feet I honestly thought hey, maybe I'm on to somethingt and this could work... but then my wirter's block hits. my enxiaty kicks in and then I look at the numbers. and then when ever I get a POC coming in, I get my hopes up. Why even bother?

No I'm not throwing in the towl though. however, I think I'm gonna stop even asking. I'll let the insporation come to me whenever it does. though I admit I do hate to let others down. However If you dont' have imagination for this sort of thing, or if this just ain't for you, then why did you come? You know what I'd..rather just be friends, be on friedly terms. But I don't realy ... expect you to emerse yourself into something this complex or challenging. because I get it, it's a challenge. I find it abit challenging my self. I HAVE an easier time imaging a world where humans are underdogs to non humanoid ticklers than I do to something like this! Infact that idea came first, and this was more of an atympt to stage something more set in reality and in maturee topics. I don't know I figured people would atleast want to explore and try to figure out the lore that could back such a scenario as this but I guess I put to much faith in the idea of people having imagination or the ability to think outside a box or break any opinion they believe in. I don't know why when I struggle with my own at timese. I guess I fuigured since I was able to see how it could work, others would to. You know...it's frustrating. you put any amout of work into something and the progress is so slow that it it ends up stagnent. You put your work into something ambitious but the moment you began to question the point of why your even doing this, you sort of just feel like you waisted all that time. Sure you saw the potnential and you should never just give up due to nay sayers or critics. But not those guys causei hardly evene hear from them. No it's the idea that in the end , will people even get why I even did this at all? Or will it al fly over their head?

I guess what I should say right now is...I'm emotionaly confused right now. I'm torn between an ambitous vission, my other visions, what my target demographic for this even is and what I got instead.

My after thoughts is this. This is a topic worth tackling and most certainly potential for world building and kinky fun. However it's ambitous and if your hoping your gonna have an RP with someone on this sort of gimmick...I'm sorry.But no one has that kind of imagination for it. I mean people got imagination for tickling, tickle torture, sadism, masichims from what I've seen. But let's get real. No Black, asian or other wise is interested in this. ok maybe that's not fair I've met some sure... but the reality is people are either to buisy , or don't RP, or CAN'T EVEN FIND YOU. I waited paciantly, hoping people might be interested... I got some and tried some things out. I got to be a lee. I think I found myself getting more well told stories out though being the ler for white lees! I'm basicly carrying the story. Oh sure I'm used to narrating in other tickle rp types too but I still found many others where I and the other person can contribte alot to the RP and it feels like a story is unfolding. I came close thinking I finaly found someone who could help me do that with the Giggle Milkee idea. Who ws I kidding. Not only was the sotry more set up by me but they wound up not even apreciating it. they straight up jump scared me with a sudden mood swing! realy?! A mood swing?! Listen.. if your Black or Asian or any other Grabber cannidate, I'm not discouraging you from trying. I mean there are plenty white lees out there. You can try all you like, but as for me..I DON'T EVEN know. Send me a message if your even interested...however my reception might be differant for now on than what it would have been in the past. For now on. if you don't got imagination, I won't waist any time with you. Same goes for the Gigmigs, though they've been more interested I still find some that either gone missing or are lacking. Maybe I'm just sore right now...like I SAID. i'M EMOTIONAly condused. more like distraught,aggervated, not wanting to give up, not wanting to keep going. I'm torn is what I'm saying. and I needed to vent. I'm not sure about where I'm gonna go with this in the future. But If I see another Grabber...I'm not getting my hopes up... I just won't. I'll be happy...but chances are.....well you figure it out cause my throat is sore.

hey anyone wanna hear one of those batshit (...) crazy Tumblr stories that never happened in a million years? Because one just happened to me and it's almost too ironic NOT to post it on here, the website with the batshit crazy stories.

I live in a rural area. Woods, mountains, lakes, meadows, wildlife, you name it. I drive out of town, boom, nature. I see rabbits and foxes and all kinds of little critters all the time.

On my way home from the gym today, around 10pm when the sun had just gone down, i took the usual route (take me home country roads amirite!), car windows open, blasting Black Sabbath, a nice warm August evening, very idyllic, taste of freedom on my tongue, all that.

All of a sudden something small hits my windshield, bounces off and gets thrown against the window frame on the driver's side, i feel something hitting my thigh. At first I thought i was a bird but the way it was catapulted through the air i assumed it was just a piece of dirt from the corn field right outside, so i keep driving. I literally said out loud "what the fuck was that" and the entire (three minute) drive home i keep checking my rear view mirror, just in case it really had been a bird.

But nothing moves back there, so by the time I park my car outside my house, I'm convinced it was nothing, but still, I'm a bit nervous, and decide to check the backseat.

At first, i don't see anything, but i drive around with a lot of stuff on my backseat, my car is basically my hoarding room where I just put things and forget about them. So I take out my phone and shine an additional light in there.

You should know (and maybe you already do because i keep mentioning it on here) that bats are my favorite animals. As long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with them. One of my earliest memories is having a poster with different bat species on my nursery wall. My dearest stuffed animal was a bat (still have her as a matter of fact). I went through this whole vampire phase in the nineties.

However, finding an actual live bat holding on for dear life on the backseat of my car was not what i had expected and was certainly far from what I was hoping for. In fact, it made me scream like one of those girls who get killed off first in horror movies (i wasn't aware i was even capable of that. I'd also never thought people actually scream in real life when they get startled, especially not me. I can bench press over 120 pounds. I'm basically a man. A weak man, but still kind of a man).

So i spot the bat, it looks me straight in the eye, we stare at each other for a hot second, i scream bloody murder, curse like a sailor, stumble away from the car and around it (picture me slipping on parking lot pebbles like it's quicksand) to open the other door from the other side, to shoo it outside from this side, since it's already facing the driver's side's door.

Turns out it had the same idea, because once i open the door, still cursing in several languages, it is once again facing me. Another second that feels like forever passes and then the bat starts to fly. It's heading straight for my face, i scream again, i duck, the thought that it's probably better for the bat's sonar vision if I don't move crosses my mind but I can't control my reflex, it's missing my head by a few inches and flies off into the night.

Did I mention that i was literally wearing my black sabbath t-shirt? You know, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne's band? Ozzy Osbourne who is infamous for biting off a bat's head? The band i was also listening to in the car the moment when it decided to hitch a ride??

What are the odds?

I swear it was like i fucking SUMMONED it. One should think i would be prepared (and excited!) for something like this, but no. No. 0/10 experience, do not recommend.

I'm just glad it didn't start flying while I was still driving because that would not have ended well.

Farewell, little vampire, i hope you find your way home. Please never contact me again. I still love you guys and always will but that was the most unnecessary (while also cutest) jumpscare of my life.

Red (taylor's version) x Byler

soooo i was thinking about making one of these for a long time and it was fun to connect the songs to them, i hope someone see this because was kinda hard to make

before starting, there are songs from the album that I don't include here, such as: 22, girl at home, mr. perfectly fine, starlight, the lucky one, we are never getting back together, ronan, i bet you think about me, stay stay stay, begin again

there are some lyrics that i don't consider the context, just the lyrics, because it matched their situation and their feelings, so i hope this falls into the hands of people good with theories

-

. state of grace - s2 and s4 mike

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights Busy streets and busy lives And all we know is touch and go We are alone with our changing minds We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

You come around and the armor falls Pierce the room like a cannonball Now all we know is don't let go We are alone, just you and me up in your room and our slates are clean

We learn to live with the pain Mosaic broken hearts But this love is brave and wild

. everything has changed - s4 mike

All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now Know something now I didn't before

And all my walls stood tall painted blue But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down And open up the door for you

Come back and tell me why i'm feelin' like I've missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it's not all in my mind

. better man - s3 and s4 will

I wish it wasn't four AM Standing in the mirror saying to myself: You know you had to do it I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun Oh, you never thought I'd run

. the moment i knew - s3 will

You should've been there Should've burst through the door with that "Baby, I'm right here" smile And it would've felt like a million little shining stars had just aligned And I would've been so happy

And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress in red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing as i'm looking around the room But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew

You called me later and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it" And I said, "I'm sorry too" And that was the moment I knew

. treacherous - all seasons mike

Out of focus, eye to eye 'til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away but you're quicksand

I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should know that nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you home

. i almost do - s4 will

And I just wanna tell you it takes everything in me not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that every time I don't I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you 'Cause each time you reach out there's no reply I bet it never ever occurred to you That I can't say "Hello" to you and risk another goodbye

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window Looking out at the city and I hope Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

. sad beautiful tragic - s4 will

Long handwritten note deep in your pocket Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late I stood right by the tracks Your face in a locket Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

In dreams i meet you in warm conversation We both wake in lonely beds In different cities And time is taking its sweet time erasing you And you've got your demons, and darlin' they all look like me

What we had a beautiful magic love there What a sad beautiful tragic love affair We had a beautiful magic love there What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

. come back... be here - mike between s3 and s4

I told myself, don't get attached But in my mind, I play it back Spinning faster than the plane that took you

The delicate beginning rush The feeling you can know so much without knowing anything at all And now that I can put this down If I had known what I'd known now i never would've played so nonchalant

This is falling in love in the cruelest way This is falling for you and you are worlds away In New York, be here But you're in London, and I break down 'Cause it's not fair that you're not around

. forever winter - all seasons mike

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?" He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity

He seems fine most of the time, forcing smiles and neverminds His laugh is a symphony, when the lights go out, it's hard to breathe I pull at every thread, tryna solve the puzzles in his head Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"

. nothing new - all seasons mike

Criticize the way you fly when you're soarin' through the sky Shoots you down and then they sigh, and say "She looks like she's been through it"

And I know it's sad, but this is what I think about And I wake up in the middle of the night it's like I can feel time moving How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22? And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?

And my cheeks are growing tired from turning red and faking smiles Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention? And someone else lights up the room? People love an ingénue

. holy ground - s1, s2 and s4 will

I was reminiscing just the other day while having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away Back to a first glance feeling on New York time Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story's got dust on every page But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

. red - s3 and s4 will

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself, "It's time now, gotta let go" but moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head in burning red

. i knew you were trouble - s3 will

I was in your sights You got me alone You found me

And he's long gone when he's next to me And I realize the blame is on me

So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'til you put me down So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground

No apologies He'll never see you cry Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why you're drowning

. the last time - s3 byler

Find myself at your door Just like all those times before I'm not sure how I got there All roads, they lead me here

You find yourself at my door Just like all those times before You wear your best apology but I was there to watch you leave And all the times I let you in just for you to go again Disappear when you come back Everything is better

And right before your eyes i'm aching Run fast, nowhere to hide Just you and me

. message in a botle - s3 and s4 will

Standing here waitin', waitin' And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes Tongue tied

But now you're so far away and I'm down Feelin' like a face in the crowd I'm reachin' for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love I could be the one that you dream of Message in a bottle is all I can do Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you You could be the one that I keep, and I Could be the reason you can't sleep at night

. babe - s3 and s4 will

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise That you never should have made

I break down every time you call We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it I hate that because of you, i can't love you, babe

. run - s2 and s4 byler

We shouldn't be in this town And my so-called friends, they don't know i'd drive away before I let you go So give me a reason and don't say no

So you laugh like a child and I'll sing like no one cares No one to be, no one to tell

And run, like you'd run from the law Darling, let's run, run from it all We can go like they're trying to chase us Go where no one else is, run

. the very first night - s4 mike

And so it goes, every weekend, the same party I never go alone and I don't seem broken-hearted My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

Not tryin' to fall in love, but we did like children runnin' Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

I wish I could fly, i'd pick you up and we'd go back in time I'd write this in the sky, i miss you like it was the very first night

. all to well - all seasons will

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days

Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearing, it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Runnin' scared, I was there, i remember it all too well

And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here 'cause i remeber it all to well

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold i still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well
