OK OK OK LET’S BREAK IT DOWN

There is so much just in this that I love entirely. 

Firstly that, like she mentions, Watanuki sees cooking as something SO important that he’ll go through all the effort of teaching her for no, uh, 'tangible' price. Including all the effort he’s already gone through over the past month. 

Because Watanuki sees it as something “vital” - like, the food itself sure, but mostly because teaching her how to cook is essentially teaching her how to grow her own personality and craft herself into someone that she actually likes. And he’ll do it because he genuinely cares, but also there is no tangible price that could ever really cover that. 

And that branches into the Yuuko of it all. I think this might be the first time we see Watanuki with his own customer and setting his own Mystical Price that will balance out all the effort he puts into it. And like, I’m not sure that Watanuki has the same restrictions that Yuuko had when it comes to her store - I’m sure we’ll see later, and I’m sure we’ll see if that was externally or internally imposed. If there was any outside consequence that helped dictate the threat of an imbalanced price or if it was entirely just Yuuko herself knowing how the universe works and working so hard to make sure it all worked out ok. If it’s that last one, then we can assume that Watanuki has inherited some of that concern from her and knows how to work out a price that has the same effect. 

And so Watanuki sets the price of the terrible tasting Omusubi. WHICH is loaded with emotional weight - because even though it's monetarily worthless, it’s the price of someone KNOWING exactly what kind of person she is, which was her greatest fear. And so, the price of fixing that fear is facing that fear - whic means that Watanuki tasting the Omusubi and knowing more about her is the direct step towards a future where that is no longer her fear. It’s the process she needs to take to grow a personality that she herself likes. 

It’s both a practical and spiritual price that already matches both ends of the deal. Asking for money on top of that would actually be too much. 

In which my only concluding thought is where does Watanuki gets the money for ingredients in the first place? But shh.

ADDENDUM: Trying to understand the Aux Tresors novels without actually reading the novels in question(?).

While I am still not in the possession of any pfs, scans, or screenshots of the Aux Tresors novels, a certain movie's book adaptation by the same author who wrote the Aux Tresors novels has, recently and miraculously, come into my digital possession after some investigation. (despite all the e-begging I do, the only way I have been able to find anything is research of insanely obscure piracy sites. No sugardaddies for poor old Ronik, yet...)

Self-evidently, I will be attempting an illegal and unsolicited translation of it into at the very least broken english, the second I have the free time to actually commit to that — but do understand it is a literal novel, and I did not have the willpower to translate my own lore videos into russian. (Considering the uni... even my futile attempts to do that will not be happening soon. LOL.)

Either way, when I have the time to get around to that, I will be liveblogging it as I attempt to translate it. (I mean... it would be a shame if I had to google translate it for liveblogging purposes, and then DIDN'T save those translations for other people to use.)

This has been your mental illness announcement of the day.

I will say, as much as I'm excited for what they've announced, I miss the style of Minecraft live announcements where they announced, well, the update, and gave us the theme and a LOT more to look forward to

Like the original caves and cliffs Minecraft live. I feel like since then and since they decided to split the update in two they've kinda backpedelled on the scope of updates, but also on the scope of announcements. While I get wanted to keep hype up over time, Minecraft live has always been the major point of hype where we get a lot to look forward to.

I don't wanna seem ungrateful but I'm not a big fan of how they did it with the recent update where things get announced over time. I love having a lot to look forward to instead of one structure, one mob and a few blocks.

And like one structure is cool!!! But Idk. I prefer knowing the theme and knowing everything to look forward to. I'm still excited but I miss how the announcements went before

Aha so she does seem to have the ability to taste a little like Doumeki!

She could tell that he was thinking of HER when he made it, which is quite a particular taste I imagine? Gentle and Familiar are quite good notes to carry as well, so it looks like Watanuki did a great job on the emotional side of the cooking scale and it led her to actually following his advice. 

WHICH, it seems did not end well. 

Since it means she could tell what SHE was thinking of when she made hers. 

Which means we are about to get to the heart of the issue! >: D

OH NO IT LOOKS LIKE WE WERE RIGHT

Diagnosis correct!

Result: TRAGEDY

This is why I’m never invited to judge on cooking shows.

SKELETAL SYSTEM BRACKET ROUND 3 GROUP A

We had two ties last round [within a margin of error of .1%!!] , so we decided it would make the most sense to make this a four-way poll. Propaganda:

Occipital Bone: do you want an unprotected cerebellum??? the infernal surface is groovy af, and all the nuchal lines are actually goated. are u seriously going to look me in the eyes and tell me the three-part bone of all time [father son and holy spirit, anyone?] can even be stepped to by some normie basic bone shit???????? cmon..... [via. @skullfuckbonegod]

Fibula: VOTE FIBULA!!!! bone with a best friend <3 Tibia already got out round 1 so its ur legal duty to stand up for its legbestie... also my hounds r named Fibula and Tibia and theyre adorbsies [via. @sodiumradiation]

Thoracic Vertibrae: twelve bones. twelve bones, one combined goal: fuck shit up, take names, keep that back backing. least commonly injured part of the spine for a reason. its built different. this shit protects ur spinal cord, provides attachments to your ribs, supports your chest and abdomen, and literally lets yr body move. objective best bones. [via. @ithinkthereforisam]

Scalpula: Scapula sweep!! Those are your angel wings. Watching your Cavs shoulder blades move under their skin while they carry a big sword is the best part of being a necro. They're also just such a good plane of bone they're perfect for breaking up into little pieces for bone adepts to store in their pockets. Also the attachment point for a bunch of muscles!!and the yummy little joint cavity… [via. @kavkisser]

Hi! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you still liveblog the qsmp because due to recent events I find it difficult to watch any stream for long, and I feel like looking at the tag will cause me unecessary stress, so seeing your posts helps keep me up to date!

Also, if you don't mind me asking here, could you explain the apparent reboot? I saw some people posting and rb about it, but I'm too scared to scroll through the tag to get context ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Np! So the QSMP tweeted this image today vvv

thats a video, btw, its apparently the same/similar to the first QSMP trailer that released when the server was first announced. I didnt join till later so i cant like attest to this but its the same vibe from what ive seen. It shows someone walking up, sitting in the chair and text flashes on our screen "20 YEARS LATER", before the little screen starts playing the "welcome to isla quesadilla" intro video to the person in the chair.

Alongside this, Yangdding (if you dont know her shes a korean creator on the server) accidentally vague leaked about something special happening on the 25th, which is a similar date to the one shown.

Because of all these things, as well as some CCs wrapping up their character lore, tumblr (and i assume twitter but i dont go on twitter) are theorizing its going to be some kind of server reset/season 2/set up for a time loop scenario.

I personally support the time loop scenario, because various character stories and cc's (Fits story with madagio, as well as offhand comments by cc!bad, phil and foolish) support that this island is an ongoing, looping experiment.

Its not a foolproof theory, as there are some ties not tied up yet (such as leo and pepito still being up and active on the QSMP) but either way, everyone generally seems to remain nervouscited (nervous and excited) about the event, and the ghosties and tubblings are sticking with whatever bad and tubbo do.

So long and goodnight ✩

Today is the one year anniversary of the day after the swarm tour ended, which also makes it the one year anniversary of this blog. For the most part, there are no more scheduled posts in the queue.

A couple of dates had already passed by the time I could verify them - I will schedule these as they come up, as well as making posts for anything new I find, updates/corrections to existing posts, and new events or releases. My inbox will stay open for any requests for dates to be added, as well as any corrections or sources to be added (thank you to the people who have sent these through in the past!). I'm not currently planning on scheduling reblogs of existing posts for future anniversaries, but I'm open to it if enough people would like that :)

I'm going to get a bit sappy now, so this last bit is really optional reading material. I truly wasn't expecting this blog to be anything more than some silly fun when I made it, but reading through people's memories of shows, releases and announcements in the tags has been more touching and meaningful than I expected. My Chemical Romance is a band, but like most things worth caring about My Chemical Romance is also an idea built out of human connection and shared experiences. The swarm era would never have meant as much as it did without every person who reached out a hand to share a piece of what MCR means to them, through their tags or art or jokes or song covers or archives or webweaves or 3am liveblogs of 12 pixel instagram livestreams. Thank you for being here with me, and for making something beautiful. 🖤

YouTube Premiere Announcement!

The people have spoken! The YouTube Premiere of the Ghost Story concert will be this Wednesday, 7/24 at 8 PM EST on the Melliot YouTube channel!

Two love stories between Chinese American and Polish American men haunt the same Montana ranch house — one century apart. As past and present intertwine, the lovers confront long-held fears in their quest to determine if they love one another for the right reasons.

GHOST STORY is a new musical exploring queer interethnic intimacies between working-class immigrants in the early Mountain West, as well as the complicated racial past of modern gay relationships. Through a story about love, culture, and identity, the show asks: In making meaning from the overwhelming tragedies of queer history, how do we balance seeking truth and beauty?

FAQs below the cut:

Where do I watch this?

On the Melliot YouTube channel! We'll announce the link here once YouTube generates one, but you'll probably just be able to find it there if you check it around that time as well.

Will it be subtitled?

Yes!

I can't make the premiere :( Can I watch it afterwards?

Yes! The current plan is to leave the video up on the Melliot YouTube channel after the premiere for you to watch at your leisure. If you're liveblogging/posting about it after the show, we are asking folks to use the tag #ghost story spoilers for the first 48 hours after the premiere so people who can't make the premiere can avoid getting spoiled if they don't want to be!

What's the difference between a concert vs a staged reading vs a production?

This is a concert of songs and some scenes! We only had 1 hour of time to present, and the musical itself runs about 1:45, so we had to summarize some songs and scenes instead of performing them, but you should be able to follow the plot from the performance.

The Princeton video of Adamandi is a full production (with lights, costumes, staging, sound, a band, etc.) Princes was a staged reading (with blocking and costumes, but actors are holding scripts and there is only a piano and drums.) The video of Ghost Story will be a concert/reading (with actors at music stands, a piano, and stage directions read out loud instead of actually performed.) We hope to use this video is part of our materials towards getting a full production of Ghost Story someday!

Can I listen to Ghost Story on Spotify/Apple Music/my streaming service of choice?

Yes! There is a live album picked from the concert recordings that will be dropping at 8 PM EST on Wednesday. Presave it here!
