#music#tag#thanks again!#I really need to sort out my library#and get it accessible on one device#ever since my iPod classic died#it's been very piecemeal#so I don't listen in any focused way#mostly it's just background noise#random#and music deserves to be so much more#lone but not lonely

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell
#yes i read 'carry on' by rainbow rowell in middle school what else could you have possibly expected from me. anyway she gives me simon snow#vibes and not in a good way and she's even blonde while her british vampire boyfriend has dark dark hair and just. you will never be basil.#also i hate to be that guy but the writing has made me physically recoil and the acting almost reads as silly but mostly as middling :/ and#i wanted and expected more from matthew goode bc i really liked him in downton but i guess this is a 2018 bbc modern vampire fantasty serie#like i guess.#also there's SO much shit about bloodlines and maybe i'm gay with a blood disorder amd a family history of adoption but like. who fucking#careeessssssssss it ahould not be that serious. why is it that serious.#also the fantasy racism kind of reads like it's mesnt to be? homophobic adjacent? like there's a Lot of 'love who you love' talk going on#for the single most bland heterosexual relationship i've ever seen on a screen like there is so little chemistry? so little#anyway it's called 'a discovery of witches' and i'd recommend not watching it 🫶 or if you do then watch it on 1.5x speed#it's been decent background noise for knitting bc i kinda sorta care about the plot but if miss a chunk bc i'm in the lace chart zone i do#not care and i do not have to go back to catch it bc the writing is so transparent#there was another series it stole from that's escaping me atm but when i noticed it pissed me off a touch. hmm maybe it will come back to m#a post#do not watch this show#I REMEMBERED they wanted the juliette holding diana captive moment to be joaquin's 'i want to watch you fuck her' from sense8 SOOOOO BAD bu#it WASN'T bc they were too afraid to lean into anything that would make juliette interesting at all. for being all about the world's most#special blonde woman this show does not seem to like women very much. sad! well there's other shows#OH ALSO ALSO there are 3 magical 'creature' species which are witch + vampire + femon except the demons don't seem? to have any magical#abilities that humans don't have besides sensing the species of other creatures? like witches can cast spells and vampires do their various#vampire things but demons have nothing going for them except disproportionately high rates of homelessness and suicide?? like girl what are#we doingggggggg what are we doing here !! what's their deal why does no one care !! can they do anything or no !! god this show sucks

I've been rewatching Once Upon A Time and can I just talk about how funny The Dark Curse is?
Most of the town makes sense, it puts people into lives that are sort of analogues of their fairy tale life, but also makes them miserable. Fair enough, you've got things like Snow White as a teacher who's unable to find love, or Hansel and Gretel as homeless children. Stuff like that which makes sense.
But than there's also:
Jefferson / The Mad Hatter who's curse is that he remembers everything, and also shows up in Storybrooke despite being in Wonderland when the curse hit?
Belle who just has complete amnesia and doesn't remember her life pre or post curse. (David doesn't either, but that kind of makes sense in context)
Dr. Whale / Dr. Frankenstein, who's from the world without color, so no idea what the hell he's even doing here. I don't think the show ever explains it.
Maleficent comes over IN HER DRAGON FORM, even though there isn't supposed to be magic in this world at all.
Rumpelstiltskin is able to put in a little loophole where he remembers who he is after hearing Emma's name, but he can't just loophole it so he remembers the whole time even though it's his spell.
Ruby / Red Riding Hood isn't a werewolf anymore, but still has her heightened wolf senses?
#i just think the curse is funny#like it does the most random shit#and i love it for that#once upon a time#ouat#i don't know maybe i'll post more about it#but mostly it's my background noise show

watched some of the first episode of smallville and laughed so hard I couldn't finish it (not in a negative way but very much in a "help what is happening" way) (I feel like I need to watch it with a friend in the name of mutual bewilderment)
lana's parents waving at her and then getting HIT BY A METEOR is comedy. they just see it coming towards them and don't even run away before the early 2000s cgi gets them good
baby lex luthor getting HIS HAIR BLOWN OFF BY A METEOR. I'm sobbing. it's giving "he knocked the highlights out of her hair". his eyebrows r still there but oops you're an egg now.
#anyways ive been recommended this show for a while but i also dont really like watching new shows...#anything i watch is merely background noise while i draw#had my good laffs i dont know if i can do 10 seasons though#im mostly only watching bc my sister's loser ex bf finally kicked us off his hbo max account and the only family login ik is our disney+#smallville#AGAIN NOT MEANT TO BE HATE I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY#im still an enjoyer of sharkboy & lavagirl and spy kids okay i understand the early 2000s visuals like a pro#superman

#think my wrestling obsession has dulled to background noise#like that was an enjoyable ppv but i don't feel any of the extremes of emotion like in 21/22/23#mostly just a “oh that was cool! i should play more cyberpunk”

so I'm about a third of the way through the Gideon the ninth audio book courtesy of hoopla bc we love the local library and I found out today mine has reciprocal lending with basically every library system in a 100 mile radius and yes okay fine it's good we love a butch idiot we love messy lesbians we love the meme references although the only one I've caught so far is the one about studying the blade but honestly I'm getting maybe 70% with my rampant brain fog and general poor health but I think the library system i am accessing hoopla through is so teeny tiny I shouldn't have to worry about other people so I can just listen to the series again if I become as unwell about it as I think I might be
#brinn reads tlt#my songwriter friend Emily has an absolutely devastating song about tlt that I'm obsessed with#and it is like 95% of the reason I've picked it out of my laundry list of entertainment to watch#mostly I've been watching drawfee as background noise#cause my brain is still so fucking fried#like is it me do i just need discipline???#it's possible I should smoke less weed#and go to therapy

hey wait. so if you grow up as an only child or with siblings who like the same tv as you how do you learn tolerance?
#that football poll really made me reflect on how much tv i've had on in the background that was just absolute white noise to me#altho back when we were all younger there were more tvs in the house. mostly small ones#there was one i remember vividly that was like only a foot wide. it sometimes moved around#it had a vcr player in the bottom#i so clearly remember watching lizzie mcguire on it while discovering if you smash a marker youre coloring w#all the ink comes out at once. but then youre left wo it being pointy at the end#and that tv could be moved around. i remember watching shrek on it in my mudroom once lol#i also remember watching whose line is it anyway and not understanding improv but just seeing the men sit in chairs#and stand up and just looking at the colorful background. it was somehow still entertaining to me i dont remember AT ALL why#tales from diana#one thing that is somewhat understandable to me from what i understand about childhood entertainment in the streaming era#is that children THANK GOD still seem to fight w their siblings about what to watch on tv#they just dont even say 'on tv' they say 'on disney plus'#it shouldnt feel so strange to me but i just cant imagine coming home from school and selecting something from a list of programs#and then watching that in full without commercials. i'm like what. that's not tv#you're supposed to get home in the middle of an episode of spongebob that they play twice a week and quote along w it like karaoke#youre supposed to argue and flip back and forth one thing and another when one turns to a commercial break#THATS AMERICA!!!!!

I'm currently watching Twitch replays of Coffee With Tony
Problem :
1) He's mostly talking about politics from 3 years ago...
2)...From a country I'm not even part of.
I'm such a joke

so where do you go when the place you turn to when you’re sad is the reason you’re sad?
#lex waffles#ironically the song we sink by sway from the MLN soundtrack gave me a bit of comfort yesterday#which might be a bit ironic#the victon news hasn't hit me yet#so it's mostly about astro#but my playlist of songs for when i'm sad is full of both astro & victon#yeah :(#i'm slowly making a playlist of songs that have given me comfort / helped me during this time but there's not many so far#i've been listening to music but it's kinda just background noise#we sink was the first song i really listened to where i felt something#i struggle with this question a lot#i have since last year especially#somewhat similar situation that i haven't really processed a whole year on#every time i think i'm (for a lack of better term) over this crushing sadness it comes back to me like a wave

Im watching a video about rock tumbling and this dude is usually clean shaven
Started out clean shaven at the beginning of the video
Grew out his beard over the course of the video......AND NOW HES SHAVING IT SLOWLY WAIT A SECOND
SIR?????
THAT WAS FUCKIN SMOOTH I THOUGHT I IMAGINED IT THE FIRST TIME
I JUST NOTICED THIS PORTION OF THE VIDEO IS CALLED "How to shave off some time"
Ok the transition from the shorter mustache to the half mustache wasnt as smooth but hdjsjddjsjskwn
IM DYING IVE WATCHED SO MANY OF HIS VIDEOS AND HES NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS
#started out this post as just a commentary on watching this dudes beard grow over the weeks#was NOT expecting him to start shaving halfway through#for once glad that my ibs was interrupting my painting cuz i was mostly just using this video as background noise#but my stomach was cramping so i stopped painting#i wouldve totally missed that#my kind of humor

why are they trying so hard to drag everything out for as long as possible on this netflix stream thing . can you not just show a clip talk about it for a second and then be done with it and move on to the next thing
#for sweet home they talked about it for a minute and then showed a clip and then talked more and then showed another clip and talked MORE#like. please. enough.#are they even showing sonic . did you all lie to me#whatever im just leaving it on as background noise mostly

I recently watched a youtube video about a TV show, and I wasn’t particularly interested in neither the show nor the video, but it was background noise while cooking.
And the youtuber constantly mentioned “tumblr girls” and “teenage girls on tumblr” to describe some aspects of the fandom, and it made me think: Aren’t we all just ... kinda old now? Grown-ups? Are there even still teenagers on tumblr? Were there ever? I was in my early twenties when I came here, and I know some of the people I follow are about the same age. I feel like most of my mutuals and people I follow were college age or older, or maybe late teens when I found their blogs, and now are well in their mid-late twenties or like me over thirty.
From the more viral posts going around I feel like many people here are in that age range. Not saying there are no teenagers or young teenagers here, or that there shouldn’t be! - but... I dunno... aren’t most people here just very tired millennials (plus/minus a few years) who never really got into other social media platforms, saw something in tumblr that reminded us of the internet of our childhood, and so we kinda just hang out here?
Or is that just my specific group of people that I have cultivated over time?
#some thoughts about tumblr#i guess it wasn't that good a youtube video anyway#i mostly just watched it for background noise#and siince i don't watch the world cup it was a decent alternative i guess

This post won't resonate with my followers but that's fine. I cannot stand goat format in yugioh. I've been watching people play it in master duel and oh my god it's so fucking boring bro. There's just no variety whatsoever because it all boils down to Chaos. If your end goal isn't Chaos then you're playing it wrong and that's why it's so boring to me. It's just decks using whatever was strong at the time so it's this weird gray mass of cards and all decks look the same. I've been playing the game since it started and I really don't get how people can say that this era was great. I'm not some zoomer with the game that loves my waifu decks, I know what I'm talking about and it's just so boring and repetitive of people trying convince others that goat format is the best way to play this game. Try fucking Edison format or whatever.
#joji rambles#i like watching people play master duel as background noise#and lately this has been becoming a pet peeve of mine#been following a certain youtuber play it and they mostly play goat with friends#and it just feels tedious now#i can only watch someone try and summon BLS as the winning card so many times
