When I was younger, it was easier to know what I liked. Lately, I keep changing my mind about everything.

Title: Music from Another World

Author: Robin Talley

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2020

Genres: fiction, historical fiction, LGBT+, romance

Blurb: It's the summer of 1977, and closeted lesbian Tammy Larson can't be herself anywhere - not at her strict Christian high school, not at her conservative Orange County church, and certainly not at home, where her ultra-religious aunt relentlessly organises antigay political campaigns. Tammy's only outlet is writing secret letters in her diary to gay civil rights activist Harvey Milk...until she's matched with a real-life pen pal who changes everything. Sharon Hawkins bonds with Tammy over punk music and carefully-shared secrets, and soon, their letters become the one place she can be honest. The rest of her life in San Francisco is full of lies - the kind she tells for others, like helping her gay brother hide the truth from their mom, and the kind she tells herself. But as antigay fervour in America reaches a frightening new pitch, Sharon and Tammy must rely on their long-distance friendship to discover their deeply personal truths, what they'll stand for, and who they'll rise against.

my toxic personality trait is taking the unyielding stance of support for obscure media i’ve barely interacted with the second it gets hate, binging it all over again, and making it my entire personality for however long the endorphins last

Hypothetically, how would things go if Niccolo and Gryffin somehow wound up in Lonesome Flats while Niccolo is still a kid?

In this context, how would little Niccolo feel about Country trolls and their music? Would he have gotten along with Country trollings his age?

They'd probably end up there via Gryffin getting brave and just kidnapping his own child instead of sending him back to Cecile lmao

The one rule is no outside music which Gryffin is fine with as long as Nicky's safe, this would've taken place before the incident which hasn't been revealed yet.

Niccolo would probably love Country music, not as much as his home music or the secret third music in his heart, but he'd like it a lot!

I think he'd also get along with some of the country trollings they're also probably a bit rough and tumble, but I feel like less so, and they would be more comfortable chilling out as well

Niccolo would be a lot more open by virtue of having a father who's encouraging him and supporting him rather than pulling away like he had been before. Without either of them having Cecile looming over them Niccolo becomes kinder and more accepting early on, and Gryffin is a lot more confident!

I want to be a rockstar so bad but like in the 60s/70s/80s because nowadays you really can't do that to make money

Sebek!!!

He's personally one of my favorite characters. I have not gotten to book 7 yet tho...

My opinion on him changed drastically over time, initially he was my least favorite character and I found him kinda annoying, but then I got to play the Halloween and the Glorious Masquerade events!

Truly he is just as ridiculous as everyone else at NRC, and I love that about him.

Bonus image of him listening to his workout tunes :D

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it

You ever just get randomly hyperfixated on an oc you hadn't done much with and then start saying "this is my new favorite little guy" before lovingly stuffing them into a meat grinder?

God made each of us the way we are. Why are we supposed to think being different is a bad thing?

I was looking over the stardew valley wiki's page about the jojamart store and I noticed in the trivia it says there's no music in there, which I'd noticed before but didn't think much of

and although I can see the thematic reasons for the lack of sound, it's kind of funny because supermarkets are always playing the most obnoxious music or some song you've heard 100 times 10 years ago which has now faded from popularity. A completely silent store would actually be quite a relief

I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk

ONE is like the other guy that I know...

Sooooo I haven't moved on from the trolls world tour bounty hunters.

The reggaeton trolls and their really cool designs and music....

Hickory and Dickory's entire thing with playing the long haul in trying to get close to poppy to steal her string.......

THE KPOP TROLLS AND THEIR MISSED POTENTIAL AND AND THEIR DESIGNS AND THEY'RE REALLY CUTE AND LOVELY

And CHAZ THE FUCKING SMOOTH JAZZ TROLL!??!??!??!?! need I say more. I mean just look at him.

I am going to start. A fandom. Surrounding these guys. Just watch me.

They are so silly and I love them

"nanobots" the song is this deconstructed view of child development and parenthood where it's like, 'wow have you ever thought about how weird producing offspring is. like, it's weird, right! we make these little people and they quickly grow into their own individual personalities with their own lives and autonomy and I've lost all authority and there's so many and you've gotta be responsible for them all the time, what did I do !!!'

but as well as approaching it with this slightly overwhelmed perspective, there's a sort of affectionate optimism in there, too. that even tho the concept's intimidating, there's a sense of wonder in how humans develop and raising them and watching them grow up. hey this kid thing's fun actually, yeah I wish they'd leave me alone sometimes, but look at how cute and resilient they are look at what they can do. and then "replicant" is like jesus parenting a teenager is hard.
